Chapter XVI, Investigation

Xun Yu said with interest: "Why did you suddenly ask about Kong Ming?" ”

Hearing this, the two not only knew each other, but also seemed to be very familiar.

Guo Yi smiled: "I just heard rumors that His Majesty seems to be interested in cultivating this person."

"Are you hinting at the old man?" Xun Yu saw through the young man's careful thoughts at a glance.

"I just care about my uncle, after all, although my father has many friends, there are only so many close friends."

"Don't worry, even if the old man is no longer the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Dingbei Hou and Pingxi Hou will protect you."

"But they can't give the little nephew guidance."

Guo Yi is colorful.

Although Liu Bei values him, the other party is the emperor after all, and it is inconvenient to say a lot of things.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both military generals, and they are very good at commanding the three armies, but they may not be good at political affairs.

Xun Yu scolded with a smile: "You slippery head, just like your father." However, if there is anything, you can go to Xiao Zhan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”

"He was brought out by your father, and this kindness cannot be lost. And His Majesty has just ordered him to pursue the case of you falling overboard. ”

Jinyiwei!

Only then did Guo Yi remember that the current commander of the Jinyi Guard was once his father's groom, and there was also a shadow of this person in his memory.

It's just that as time goes by, Xiao Zhan has joined Jinyiwei, and the number of times he has come has become less and less.

As the eyes of the emperor, although his position is not high, his influence is great.

Guo Yi was puzzled: "Now that his father is gone, will he remember this incense?" ”

"You'll know when you meet him." Xun Yu stood up after speaking: "Okay, the old man should go back too." ”

"Filial piety is sent directly to my uncle."

Guo Yi immediately sent Xun Yu out of the house, and before leaving, Xun Yu added another sentence.

Kong Ming, Pang Shiyuan, Fa Xiaozhi. These people are young talents that His Majesty values, and you can associate with them, but you should not get too close. ”

Hearing this, Guo Yi lowered his head and savored the last sentence.

Is this a reminder to him that he has a good relationship with other people, but he can't let the emperor feel like his courtiers are forming a party for personal gain?

"The little nephew has been taught."

Guo Yi saw Xun Yu leave, and was about to return to the mansion, but saw a carriage coming.

When the two carriages passed by, the people in the carriage seemed to say hello to Xun Yu.

Could it be him?

A moment later, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a familiar figure stepped out of the carriage.

"Why, can you send your Uncle Wenruo out of the mansion, but you don't want to say hello to me?"

Xiao Zhan looked at the stunned young man, and joked with a smile: "Just because he is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and I am just a little Jinyi Guard's commander?" ”

Xiao Zhan has been in charge of Jinyiwei for many years, during which he has raided many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and strangled many rangers who are beyond his sights, and was named "executioner".

It's hard to imagine that he is such a friendly person.

Guo Yi glanced at the team of flying fish suits and brocade guards embroidered with spring knives behind the carriage, and suddenly changed his face.

"Uncle, you have to be the master of your little nephew!"

Xiao Zhan was stunned, looking at the poor young man, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Stinky boy, don't sell miserably here with me, there are more prisoners in the prison than you can play, do you want to go in and chat with them?"

Guo Yi smiled shyly: "Uncle, you won't treat me like this, right?" ”

"Hmph, so arrogant, you deserve to be pushed into the water."

After saying that, I walked to the house by myself, and it felt like I had returned to my own home.

Guo Yi was confused by this familiar tone, could he be too.

But then I was relieved, and it was reasonable to be affected by following a traverser for so many years.

The two walked side by side towards the mansion, and halfway through, Xiao Zhan said again: "I am ordered by Your Majesty to investigate the case of you being pushed into the water, and it is inevitable that I will interrogate your subordinates in the mansion next, you won't mind, right?" ”

"No, no, I also want to know if anyone in the house eats inside and out."

Guo Yi said, his eyes swept over the few family members in front of him.

After that incident, these people in the house looked like thieves in his eyes.

But logically speaking, Guo Jia is the founder of Jinyiwei, and the people in the house should be selected layer by layer, how can there be such a mistake?

"Call all the housekeepers and maids in your house, I have something to ask."

"Hmm."

Guo Yi nodded, and then looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

"Uncle Wu, go ahead and do it."

Wu Jie, the current manager of Guo Mansion.

"Yes, Master Hou."

A moment later, nearly 100 maids from up and down the Guo Mansion arrived.

Xiao Zhan turned his head to look at the thousands of households who came with him: "Go, ask about the living conditions of the people in the mansion in the past few days, and go in and out."

"Whoa."

After arranging for his subordinates to interrogate the family Ding Yaman, the two moved to the lakeside pavilion where Guo Yi and Xun Yu were playing chess just now.

Xiao Zhan came to the chessboard and sat down, sighing: "This kind of thing shouldn't have happened, I was derelict in my duty, if your father is still here, he will definitely scold me." ”

Guo Yi was stunned when he heard this: "What does my uncle mean?"

"Your father is right, power will always decay under the baptism of time, even the Jinyi Guard, who is in charge of supervision, can hardly avoid this."

Xiao Zhan looked ashamed: "Your father reminded me, but I still made such a stupid mistake after all. ”

Guo Yi understood it: "What does my uncle mean is that there are Jinyi Wei secret agents in this mansion?" ”

Xiao Zhan nodded slightly: "These people were originally used as guards, but now they don't know if something happens, he~"

There was a bit of sarcasm in the words, and a little murderous.

Guo Yi immediately understood, in his memory, several turmoil within Liu Bei's group seemed to be guarded by the maids in the house.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Jinyiwei is from a background.

He asked tentatively, "What is my uncle going to do?" ”

Xiao Zhan's face was expressionless: "This wind can't last, and Jinyiwei can't tolerate traitors, and these people can't stay." ”

Guo Yi was silent, but he didn't have the heart to intercede for these people, after all, they were trying to kill him, and he had heard the story of Mr. Dong Guo and the snake.

After half a ring, he spoke: "The little nephew only hopes that my uncle will not sit together and kill innocents by mistake." ”

Xiao Zhan smiled: "Your compassion is like your father, everyone said he was ruthless back then, but the battlefield is like this." Zilin, do you know what I hate the most? ”

"Uncle, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"These people were originally from exiles, but your father took pity on them and took them in, but they took revenge."

Xiao Zhan said coldly: "No matter what, find one and kill the other." ”

In his opinion, it is an unforgivable sin for these people to seek murder against his heirs after receiving the great favor of Guo Jia.

If he knew that the original Guo Yi was dead, he was afraid that he would kill all the people in this mansion.

"Then, will my uncle arrange for me to be guarded next?"

"There's no need for me, there's such a big mistake, and I don't have the face to send anyone again. The Marquis of Dingbei has already made a statement to His Majesty, and is ready to select a hundred-man team from the elite of the border pass to serve as your escort. ”
