Subsequently, Gu Fu'an and the crown prince Li Yin were summoned into the palace, and the two stood in the center of the imperial study, and stood still after saluting the emperor.

"Xiao Aiqing caught a smuggling salt dealer at the riverside wharf last night, and after overnight interrogation, he now knows where the source of the smuggling salt is."

"Prime Minister, Prince, I specially called you here to let you go down to Jiangling to secretly investigate this matter, and the prince will go with him this time, and he will have to bother the Prime Minister to teach him more along the way."

The Emperor looked at the two of them and informed them of the purpose of calling them here.

"The old minister obeys."

"The retainers obey."

"Xiao Yu'an, as the general judge of the Beijing government, it is your duty to catch salt, and this time this smuggling of salt is discovered by you, so you will go with you, and all actions will be subject to the dispatch of the emperor."

The emperor ordered Xiao Yu'an again.

"Obey."

"Alright, go back and prepare, and leave in three days."

Afterwards, the three of them left the imperial study and returned to their respective residences.

The next day, after the dismissal, Gu Wanchao came to the Tongju Mansion again, originally wanting to ask Emperor Xiao Yu'an how to deal with Liu Jin, but it happened that Lin Ya was helping Xiao Yu'an pack his luggage.

"Your master is going to go far away?"

Gu Wanchao didn't see Xiao Yu'an, looking at this scene, Gu Wanchao asked.

"Didn't the county lord let the smuggler confess the day before yesterday, and after the saint found out, he asked the master to go to Jiangling with the prime minister and the prince to secretly investigate the matter, and left the day after tomorrow."

Because of Xiao Yu'an's trust in Gu Wanchao, even Lin Ya, who was with him, was defenseless against Gu Wanchao, and said whatever he asked.

"Who do you say?"

"Master, prime minister, prince." Lin Ya looked at Gu Wanchao as if he didn't hear clearly, so he said it again.

"Okay, I know, you're busy, I have something to do and go back first." After Gu Wanchao determined who it was, he turned around and walked out.

Lin Ya, who was behind, looked at Gu Wanchao who suddenly ran out, with a puzzled face, "What's the matter, didn't you come here to find the master?" ”

He shook his head, lowered his head and continued to pack his luggage for Xiao Yu'an.

About an hour after Gu Wanchao left, Xiao Yu'an returned to the Tongju Mansion.

"Master, the county lord of Jianing came to look for you just now." After Lin Ya packed up all the things, she poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yu'an, and informed Xiao Yu'an about Gu Wanchao's visit to the house.

"Did you say what was going on with me?" Xiao Yu'an took the teacup and held it in his hand.

"I didn't say anything, just asked me what I was doing with my luggage, and I told her that you were going to Gangneung to investigate the case, and then she left in a hurry."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'an drank all the tea in the cup, and did not continue the topic of what Gu Wanchao was doing in the house.

"I'm going to go back to Xiao Mansion in the evening, and you can go and see those who were injured earlier." After Xiao Yu'an put down the teacup, Chong Linya commanded.

"Yes." Lin Ya took the cup and put it away.

After Gu Wanchao came out of the Tongju Mansion, she hurried back to the Gu Mansion, and she ran straight towards the courtyard of Gu Traitor's Mansion.

"Grandfather, grandfather." Gu Wan hadn't arrived yet, the voice arrived first, and she shouted loudly for Gu traitors.

"Ouch, what's wrong with my grandfather's dynasty? It's blazing. Hearing this, Gu Traitor walked out of the bedroom. Looking at Gu Wanchao, who was running towards him, he raised his feet and hugged the person.

"Grandfather, Chaochao heard that you are going to Gangneung?" Gu Wanchao looked at Gu Traitor and verified to him the truth of what Fang Cai Lin Ya said.

"Who did you listen to?" Although Gu Traitor still had a smile on his face, he thought in his heart that this time he was traveling secretly, how did Gu Wanchao know?

Gu Wanchao listened to Gu Traitor's heart, and she was still smiling. The two grandparents have their own hearts.

"That's it...... Oh, grandfather, don't care who told me, you can take Chao Chao with you, okay? ”

This case of selling illicit salt is not trivial, when she interrogated Liu Jin, she knew that there were high-ranking officials behind her, and the biggest traitor in the court was Gu Traitor, and she didn't believe that this kind of wealth accumulation had nothing to do with Gu Traitor.

This time, the emperor asked Gu traitor to investigate this matter, probably to see if Gu traitor had anything to do with this matter, as for the crown prince, it was just another pair of eyes that the emperor put next to Gu traitor.

She had to follow, if Gu Traitor really had anything to do with this matter, she had to stop Gu Traitor from doing bad things.

"Nonsense, grandfather went to Gangneung to investigate the case, what are you going to do?" Rao is Gu traitor, no matter how much he likes Gu Wanchao, he will not agree to Gu Wanchao together.

Jiangling is a dangerous place, those salt merchants are all outlaws, murderous people without blinking, how could Gu traitors want her to suffer.

"Grandfather, you just take me there, I know martial arts, I can protect myself." Gu Wanchao was still soft and Gu traitors.

For the sake of Gu Wanchao's safety, Gu traitor said that he would not agree to take Gu Wanchao forward, and the grandfather and grandson kept pulling like this, and no one gave in.

In the end, Gu Wanchao really couldn't persuade Gu to be a traitor, so she gave up, she returned to the courtyard, watching the sky gradually darken, she secretly made a decision in her heart.

When night fell, Xiao Yu'an returned to Xiao's house, and he went straight to Xiao Lao's courtyard, where Xiao Lao was sitting in the room waiting for his arrival.

"Grandfather." Xiao Yu'an raised his feet and entered the room, and saluted Xiao Lao in the room.

"How long have you been in charge of the Beijing Governor's General Sentence?" Xiao Lao turned around and looked at Xiao Yu'an in front of him, and asked Xiao Yu'an.

"It's been more than a month since I went back to my grandfather."

"But after more than a month in office, I caught a smuggler and did a good job." Xiao Lao praised Xiao Yu'an.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'an lowered his head and did not reply again.

"This time, you are following Gu Xiang, you must be cautious and cautious, don't fall into the hands of others." Xiao Lao instructed Xiao Yu'an again.

Gu Fu'an was a well-known traitor, and Rao is Xiao Lao was very friendly with him on the surface, but he still had to guard against it.

"Yu An knows, grandfather rest assured."

Xiao Yu'an knew very well what Xiao Lao was worried about, but in fact, he didn't need Xiao Lao to remind him, and he knew that he had to guard against Gu Fu'an.

After the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, Xiao Lao let Xiao Yu'an leave.

Xiao Yu'an, who hadn't returned to Xiao's Mansion for a long time, came to Le'anju.

From afar, he heard Aunt Hua's tactful piano sound.

In the past, only when Xiao Wuye didn't come to see her for a long time, she would stroke the qin and pin all her emotions on the qin.

Now, because Xiao Yu'an has moved out of Xiao Mansion, Aunt Hua's piano caress is more diligent.

Xiao Yu'an stood in place for a long time, and when the sound of the piano stopped, he raised his feet and entered Le'anju.

When she saw Xiao Yu'an, who she hadn't seen for a long time, Aunt Hua burst into tears for a while, she raised Xiao Yu'an so big, this is the first time Xiao Yu'an has left her for so long, the so-called day is not seen, such as every three autumns.
