Chapter Seventy-One: Self-Blowing Identity
Eleven swallowed his saliva, and was suddenly interrupted by Pei Yungui, almost forgetting what he was going to say.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he spoke: "The subordinates have already inserted dozens of eyeliners in the county order in accordance with the general's orders, all of which are sharp Gu Jiajun, as long as the general gives an order, arresting Yao Chen is a matter of one breath, and it is easy."
Gu Rin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Don't worry, the long line hasn't been released yet, how did you catch the big fish in front of you?"
Pei Yungui is right, the place of the study is not an unsightly place, since his heart is clear, why did Yao Chen set up a mechanism outside the study.
What is hidden in it, Gu Rin is curious and wants to find out.
and the Hu Shang who suddenly entered and exited Yao Chen's study, his identity is even more mysterious.
There is an iron law in Daqi, officials are not allowed to communicate privately with businessmen, let alone people from outside the country.
Yao Chen's series of actions are simply jumping repeatedly on death.
Gu Rin said: "First send two people to send a message to the secret platform, go to the border to inquire about the foreign businessmen who have entered Daqi in the past five days, the list, number, and national affiliation, all of them are clear, and the rest of the people continue to keep an eye on Yao Chen's every move in the county government, and don't reveal their identities." After that, he thought of the news that the rice porridge was mixed with divine water in the market this morning, and added, "By the way, find a way to get the rice porridge distributed by Yao Chen, save it, and let the imperial doctor see what is added to it when the time comes."
What kind of divine water is not divine water, Gu Rin naturally doesn't believe it, but he is afraid that there are really ghosts in it.
"Yes." Eleven nodded.
Gu Rin waved his hand, "Go ahead, stay safe."
After eleven saluting, he turned around and went out.
Gu Rin picked up the teacup, skimmed off the tea foam on the tea surface, drank it all, and said to Pei Yungui, "Miss Pei will go to the inn with me again."
Pei Yungui comprehended and immediately got up, "But what is the place that needs the help of the Xie Clan?"
Gu Rin put the teacup back on the table, and his fingertips tapped on the table.
Some of his habits are surprisingly similar to Pei Yungui's.
For example, when he was thinking deeply, he liked to knock on the table, which he didn't even realize himself.
Gu Rin said, "The people in the city are suffering from famine, and it is absolutely not enough to rely on the little rice porridge distributed by Yao Chen every day," Gu Rin sneered, his eyes became more and more fierce, "What's more, he preached the divine water in the porridge and deceived the people to eat it, and the ghost knows what was added to it."
Pei Yungui rubbed his jaw, and with a slight guess, he expected what Gu Rin was going to do, "So the general plans to start with the Xie clan and buy food in advance to deal with future changes?"
Gu Rin nodded.
"I originally planned to discuss the matter of food with the Xie clan after the prince arrived, but since Yao Chen is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, he can't delay any longer.
"I don't know much about the affairs in You County, and I don't know where the granary is placed by Yao Chen, I'm afraid that he will burn the jade and destroy the rice and grain."
After all, in the disaster area, the most important thing for the people is food.
People live on whole grains, and if they have no food, they will still die.
That is the foundation of the people's existence, and it must not be cut off.
Therefore, the supply of logistical rice and grain is particularly important.
*
In the middle of the day, Gu Rin and Pei Yungui were busy with their work, and in the blink of an eye, half a day passed.
By the time the two of them arrived at the inn, it was already past noon.
Gu Rin knocked on Wang Zhirun's side door.
The woman in distress had already cleaned up in the inn, and a dignified and gentle face poked out of it, and when she saw Gu Rin, her eyes lit up, and she respectfully said "benefactor".
Gu Rin didn't say much, he directly took out a token from his arms and held it in front of Wang Zhirun's eyes.
The token is mainly dark color, revealing coldness and solemnity, with a circle of complicated and exquisite patterns outlined on the outside, and a strong "Gu" character engraved inside.
This token is equivalent to the jade pendant token given to Pei Yungui by Wang Zhirun, showing Gu Rin's identity.
Gu Rin chose to show the token to Wang Zhirun at this time, which is already there
I have the intention of revealing my identity to the other party.
Wang Zhirun was stunned, there are many people with the surname Gu in the world, but generally speaking, those who hold tokens are either officials who work for the imperial court, or everyone who holds military power.
At the same time, there is also a surname of Gu......
Wang Zhirun's eyes froze, I am afraid that it is not the only one in the capital.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little panic in my heart.
When did the big Buddha in the capital appear on the border? and heard that he was murderous, cold-blooded and ruthless, how could he help her...... Besides, there is a wife by his side!
The panic completely turned into shock, but Wang Zhirun's years of beautiful cultivation still allowed her to maintain a calm appearance.
She showed a dignified smile, pretending to be confused, and asked, "Since the benefactor is surnamed Gu, I don't know which sect he comes from?"
"Madame has recognized the general, so there is no need to pretend to be deaf and dumb." Gu Rin ruthlessly exposed Wang Zhirun's play.
Since he asked to buy Xie's rice and grain at a low price, he did not want to hide it for the purpose of his identity.
Gu Rin has already claimed to be the general, and even if Wang Zhirun really doesn't know the identity of the other party, he has changed his reaction now.
Wang Zhirun is a smart person, and he soon read Gu Rin's thoughts.
Since he did not want to deal with her, he must have asked for something important when he came to find her.
Thinking of this, I smiled slightly bitterly in my heart.
I had long guessed that the benefactor couple was not an idle person, but I didn't expect the identity of the other party to be so noble, the woman next to Gu Rin could not only follow her to come and go freely, but even be commensurate with husband and wife, she must also be a noble girl in Kyoto.
It's ridiculous that she still plans to repay her with gold and silver, but I'm afraid that her own little thing is insignificant in the eyes of those two.
But when Gu Rin came to find her, there must be a place where the Xie family could be used.
In this way, she will do her best to repay the grace of saving her life.
Wang Zhirun knelt straight down, without dragging his mud and water, and lowered his eyes and said, "Cao Min Wang Zhirun, I have seen General Gu."
Gu Rin brought people up, and he naturally didn't come to the other party just to show his identity.
Time was urgent, so he got straight to the point and explained clearly the causes and consequences of coming to You County this time, as well as the idea of buying Xie's rice and grain at a low price.
Wang Zhirun agreed very happily, turned around and found a pen and paper in the wing, and wrote a letter home.
She said: "Xie's closest rice warehouse to You County is in Zhisang County, it just so happens that the grass people are working in Zhisang County today, this letter is issued, and it can be arrived the next day, and then counting the time for the rice and grain to be loaded out of the warehouse, it should be three days later, and the grain can be delivered to You County."
A fight was resolved, and Gu Rin breathed a sigh of relief, "I will thank Mrs. Xie for the people of You County."
"Where," Wang Zhirun said with a smile, "It should be the grass people who thank the general, if there is no general to help, our mother and daughter will probably have already returned to the west, and it is also the blessing of my Xie family to be able to contribute to the imperial court."
Gu Rin bent down slightly, made a thank you salute, and said goodbye to Pei Yungui and Wang Zhirun.
Today, he was as busy as a spinning top, spinning continuously, solving the problem of rice and grain on Xie's side, and he had a more important thing to do.
The two of them walked out of the inn gate.
Originally, at this time, it should be the most lively time on the street, and the peddlers and pawns from all over the world, the shouts rang from the joints to the end of the street.
Now, however, the bluestone avenue that runs from north to south is deserted and desolate.
Gu Rin closed his eyes and pulled the memories of You County from his mind in the past, only to feel better.
He said to Pei Yun: "I'm going to the county government, the county government is in an unpredictable crisis, why don't you stay here first and wait for the prince's carriage?"
Pei Yun wanted to nod, but unexpectedly, a long-lost electronic sound suddenly appeared in his head.
[You County's main mission, the branch line opens.
Branch Task 1: Ask the host to go to the county order mansion to obtain direct evidence that the county commander Yao Chen collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.
Mission time: Unlimited.
Task reward: Get the permission to open the system store.
Host please
Hurry up and complete the task as soon as possible. 】
When the words came to his mouth, Pei Yungui swallowed the words he promised.
She immediately shook her head and said, "No."
Gu Rin raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Yungui, "Is it possible that you have any other skills that can help me?"
Pei Yungui was speechless.
She really didn't have the ability to help Gu Rin.
has no power, no martial arts, and in a dangerous moment, she has to trouble Gu Rin to save her.
The county magistrate doesn't know if there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, but since it is Yao Chen's territory, it is naturally not safe, and she is very likely to drag Gu Rin down.
The wisest thing to do is to wait for news from Gu Rin.
But who knew that a system was killed halfway, which was really worrying.
Pei Yungui sighed sadly, and asked in his heart, "Tongzi, won't I go to the county order to become a prince?" Anyway, the task is to obtain evidence of Yao Chen's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country, whether I take it or Gu Rin, it's all the same."
Tongzi pondered for a moment, then turned up the mission layout and drew an emphasis on the word "go".
[Host, since the content of the task has clear requirements, then you must do it, in case any step is missing in the execution process, it will also affect the final judgment, and the host's task will be invalid, and then you will be punished with the consequences of failing the task. 】
Pei Yungui: ......
So having said so much, does it mean that she has to go?
Gu Rin saw that Pei Yungui had been silent, thinking that she had acquiesced, so he planned to instruct the shopkeeper to open another side room.
Pei Yungui raised his head, how could he let Gu Rin really put himself in the inn, pulled his sleeve, and said eagerly: "The general stays first, if I say that I am helpful to the general, will the general let me follow?"
Gu Rin put his hands around his chest and looked at Pei Yungui, "Then tell me, how can you help me?"
Pei Yungui really frowned and thought about it in his heart, but he turned his usefulness from here to there like a dough cake, and he didn't find anything useful.
Pei Yungui hung his head.
It seems that he really can't find a reason to let Gu Rin take him along.
In the end, Gu Rin still opened a wing room for Pei Yungui, let her stay in it honestly, and go to the county mansion alone.
Pei Yungui propped his head and looked worriedly at the gradually warm sun outside the window.
She didn't want to go either, but she had a mission.
Pei Yungui sighed, thinking about how to sneak into the county mansion.
