Chapter 395: Royal Heavenly Might
The official who had spoken earlier finally remembered who the person in front of him was.
Isn't this the prefect's nephew?
Although, I heard that the relationship between the prefect and this nephew who has not met a few times is not very good, but the identity of the person is real.
He pulled his companion who was about to scold, and his voice was soft: "You wait, I'll go in and report." ”
The official ran to report as soon as he slipped away, and the one next to him snorted, which would also react, the young man in front of him was not ordinary, and he didn't say anything ugly.
About a quarter of an hour later, the official who had just run in came out.
Nodding his head, he invited Gu Qingjue in.
"Lang Jun, please."
This attitude, not to mention that compared with just outside the gate, one heaven and one underground, it is definitely a 180-degree turn.
Soon, people were invited to the living room.
Gu Mingjue was still happy that Gu Qingjue took the initiative to come to the door.
But for such a long time, coupled with the previous weak initiative, this nephew didn't give him face, so he specially hung him, and only after about two quarters of an hour did Shi Shiran come to the living room.
"Uncle is busy with official business, so you have been waiting for a long time. Uncle is glad you can come back! ”
Gu Mingjue wanted to catch up, but Gu Qingjue didn't want to go around the corner.
"The prefect can know that the Yuqingguan outside the city was captured by monsters, playing the role of a god, and now the people in the city do not trust their parents and officials, and the first thing that comes to mind when encountering things is to go to the Yuqingguan outside the city to worship, it is said that in just one year, Yuqingguan will collect tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Gu Mingjue was stunned.
What a terrifying thing it is for a Taoist temple to collect tens of thousands of taels of silver in just one year.
How much money could be done if it fell into his own pocket.
Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter.
"How did you find out about these things?"
Gu Qingjue's every move, he paid attention to it, he had been in Songyang Academy for the past two years, and he went to Kyoto a few months ago. Anyway, except for half a month when he came to the state capital to participate in the autumn festival, he had never been to the Jiangning state capital at other times.
"I had a little dirty with the Liu family before, so I naturally paid more attention to the Liu family."
Gu Mingjue was silent.
Gu Qingjue continued: "The imprisonment of the head of the Liu family has something to do with me, I am just a white cloth, the Liu family is the prefect's in-laws, and I don't want to have an accident that is not clear, so I naturally pay more attention." A few days ago, I found the concubine of the head of the Liu family. Oh, it's the prefect's current concubine, who has colluded with that monster, and seems to be involved in the distribution of spoils. ”
Liu Yiting, who learned that Gu Qingjue didn't have it, and came to the mansion, wanted to come over to see what was going on, and as soon as she walked to the door, she heard Gu Qingjue's frame-up.
"What nonsense are you talking about, when did I collude with the monster to share the spoils!"
She was clearly buying murder.
She's the one who spends money!
Liu Yiting still refuses to let go: "My father who you killed was imprisoned and suffered, and I haven't settled this account with you, but now I'm spurting blood, saying that I colluded with monsters to share the spoils, so I should kill you and be buried with your short-lived master." ”
Gu Qingjue's eyes turned cold, and before the corners of Liu Yiting's sneering mouth fell, he pulled out the streamer sword, and before everyone could react, it had already cut Liu Yiting's throat.
"You ......"
Blood splattered, Liu Yiting couldn't believe it until she died, this person actually killed her in front of the prefect.
The last word, she said slurred.
Those eyes stared at Gu Qingjue with strong unwillingness.
Gu Mingjue took two steps back in fright, and He Zihui in the shadows only reacted after Gu Qingjue killed someone, and rushed out to protect Gu Mingjue.
"Gu Ziyuan, you are really bold, this is the prefect's yamen, you committed murder in the yamen, you don't take the prefect in your eyes, you don't take the royal prestige in your eyes."
"Royal Tianwei, that's a good point!"
Gu Qingjue nodded, calmly took out the handkerchief, slowly wiped the sword body clean, and calmly put the sword body into the scabbard.
During the whole action, Gu Mingjue shrank in the corner.
On the one hand, he was frightened by Gu Qingjue's sudden moment, and on the other hand, he didn't have his own considerations.
He chose the concubine of the Liu family as his concubine, not only because of Liu Yiting's beauty, but also because of the wealth of the Liu family.
But he is a dignified prefect, and he can't blatantly take the money of the Liu family, and every time he needs silver, he has to go through Liu Yiting. But if, as Gu Qingjue said just now, Liu Yiting colluded with Yuqingguan, and Yuqingguan was a tool used by monsters to collect money, there would be a reasonable excuse to raid the Liu family and take the wealth of the Liu family for themselves.
At the same time, it can also get a reputation for being selfless and righteous and destroying relatives.
Therefore, as the prefect, after he reprimanded him, he didn't say anything more.
"I am the son of Huan Lin who is personally enshrined by the Holy Lord, even if I don't have an official position, I am not a concubine who can point my nose at will and scold, she questions me, she is despising the royal authority, does the prefect think I am right?"
Gu Mingjue: I'm kind of to your grandmother.
People have already been wiped by you, so you naturally want to say whatever you want.
He has been an official for so many years, and he has naturally seen a lot of dead people, but it is the first time that someone has killed someone in front of him.
This shocking ......
For the time being, I can't put into words how he feels at the moment.
Just now, he deliberately dried Gu Qingjue for half an hour, just to get back face, but now this face is thrown on the ground, and he can't pick it up.
"My lord, the Yuqingguan outside the city still needs you to lead troops to encircle and suppress."
As soon as Gu Qingjue said this, Gu Mingjue finally came back to his senses!
Gu Mingjue's eyes flickered and looked at Liu Yiting, who was lying on the ground and was dead, everyone is dead, and now what he wants to think about is how to ensure his own interests.
"Come on, gather soldiers and horses, and go to Yuqingguan."
When everyone summoned them, the sky was already bright.
Gu Mingjue was about to leave, and he heard Gu Qingjue say quietly: "My lord, Yuqingguan colluded with the Liu family to loot the people, pretending to be a ghost, and this money is not coming from the right way." ”
Gu Mingjue looked at Gu Qingjue fixedly, and his mind turned for an unknown number of turns.
In the end, it was decided that he would take Jiang Cong and a few other cultivators to Yuqingguan, and let Sheng Tongzhi take people to raid the Liu family.
On the way to Yuqingguan, the guard asked the prefect puzzled: "My lord, we just raided Yuqingguan, why did we have to confiscate the Liu family?" ”
Gu Mingjue sneered twice and didn't reply.
Sanqi, who came out of the mansion, also asked Gu Qingjue this question with a puzzled face: "Master, the prefect decided to destroy Yuqingguan, why did he send a team of people to raid the Liu family?" The Liu family and the prefect are in-laws! ”
It's just a concubine, what kind of in-law is it?
It's just the Tuliu family's money.
The real in-law has to be his wife Han.
There's one more chapter in the afternoon!
