Chapter 383: Gu Diansi finally learned that he was a gift-giver
Leng Lanzhi didn't want to listen to the daily tasks of the Jinxing Division, but Gu Zhan briefly said what he had seen and heard in the past month or so.
For example, this time he went to track down the remnants of the previous dynasty.
Although almost all the members of the royal family of the previous dynasty died, it is rumored that before Emperor Ming Jia hanged himself, his last child was born on the way to escape.
In order to preserve the royal bloodline, Emperor Ming Jia ordered his henchmen to send the child away.
If the rumors are true, then this child should be about the same age as his father by now, and even has become a grandfather.
Gu Zhan tracked down for nearly two months, but did not find the remnants of the previous dynasty, but found several groups of thieves who had kidnapped children.
It happened that the case of kidnapping children in Beijing also broke out, so he intervened to eliminate those dens, and found out the black hands behind the scenes.
"You mean, there is a figure behind this incident?"
Leng Lanzhi was a little surprised.
After Gu Zhan caught the mastermind behind the scenes, he interrogated him, and learned that these people kidnapped the children in order to train these children to be used as tools against the imperial court.
Those with ordinary identities and talents will be trained to become killers and spies, and will specialize in assassinating court officials in the future.
Those with valuable status, such as the son or baby daughter of a certain official, will be used as a tool to attack that official.
If you don't cooperate, I'll kill your precious son/daughter!"
Fortunately, this organization is still in the stage of its establishment, and as soon as it was established, the entire organization was exposed because of the case on Sheng Jing's side, and Gu Zhan intervened in time, so those children were not harmed.
Generally speaking, this kind of incident involving court officials is not a simple vicious incident, but is linked to the imperial court.
Or, the real behind-the-scenes organizer of this organization is the giant crocodile of the DPRK.
Or, it is the revenge of the previous dynasty.
Gu Zhan was more inclined to the latter.
After all, the officials of the DPRK and China are all under his surveillance, and unless the other party has his hands and eyes and can hide from his ears and eyes, it is impossible to establish so many dens and kidnap so many children in a short period of time.
Leng Lanzhi pinched his eyebrows.
The excitement that originally arose from cracking this vile case disappeared in an instant.
If we don't find out as soon as possible whether the matter of the remnants of the previous dynasty is true, the Sheng Kingdom, which has been calm for decades, may soon be in chaos.
She really didn't want to see the peace broken.
"Princess, don't worry." Seeing that her eyebrows were stained with sorrow, Gu Zhan stretched out his hand to soothe her eyebrows: "Everything has me." ”
"It's hard work." Leng Lanzhi let his warm fingertips tap on his eyebrows, only to feel that the anxiety in his heart had calmed down.
She raised her eyes, only to see two smears of blue and black appear on his white jade-like face, and frowned: "You have worked hard all the way, go back and rest first." ”
Listening to Ah Xiang, Jin Xingwei basically slept in the open when he was on duty, and he couldn't eat or sleep well.
He was out there for almost two months, and he didn't know how hard it was.
"Okay, go back first."
Gu Zhan was indeed tired.
He hurried back to Beijing and didn't even return home, just to see her as soon as possible.
However, His Majesty is still waiting for him to report on the progress.
Before leaving, he advised: "The sleeve arrow can be waterproof, and the princess must not leave her." ”
Leng Lanzhi originally thought that he would take off his sleeve arrow when he went to sleep, but when he heard this, he stopped thinking: "Okay." ”
Gu Zhan's figure quickly disappeared into the vast night.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared that Leng Lanzhi retracted his gaze.
She frowned, feeling as if she had forgotten something.
Then I found that Qionghua was standing in the shadows not far away.
The eyes are facing each other.
Leng Lanzhi: "......"
Qionghua: "......"
She didn't have a hobby of eavesdropping on the corner, but in the middle of the night she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the princess's room, and as a first-class maid and part-time guard, she naturally had to be alert.
As soon as he walked to the door of the room, he heard a man's voice.
Moreover, this voice is still very familiar, it is the Noriji-sama who has been gone for nearly two months.
She instantly recalled the fear of being forcibly bought and sold by that man.
But fortunately, after being away for a while, the man seemed to have opened his mind, and when he wanted to give things to the princess, he finally didn't need her to act as a middleman, and he learned to give gifts by himself, which was really gratifying.
With the return of Gu Zhan, the case of child abduction was also solved.
The organization behind the kidnapping of children is called Xuanmen, and there are a total of eighteen branches under it, eight of which were destroyed by Gu Zhan himself, and the remaining ten were provided by him to the local government with the location and specific information of the branches, and the government led the people to destroy them.
A total of 2,538 children were rescued, two-thirds of whom were boys.
More than a dozen of them are the children of government officials in various places.
When the people heard about this, they all sighed that this gang of thieves was so bold that they even dared to kidnap the children of the court officials, which was really dead!
And some people with brains smell unusual smells from it.
There was a lot of quarrel in the court again, but this time it had nothing to do with Leng Lanzhi, and the focus of everyone's discussion was - whether the remnants of the previous dynasty existed.
The people led by King Qin said that this matter is very important and must be strictly investigated! Moreover, in line with the principle of preferring to kill mistakes rather than letting go, you can't miss any suspicious clues! No suspicious person can be tolerated!
The crown prince felt that decades had passed, and if there were really people alive in the previous dynasty, it would be impossible to be honest for so many years.
Assuming that there really were still remnants of the previous dynasty, he did not approve of the use of brutal means to find people.
After all, peace is not easy to come by, and if it is fought because of a few rats from the previous dynasty, it will inevitably cause trouble to the people.
Both sides insist on their own words, neither of them is convinced, and they cannot convince the other.
Emperor Jianliang was already annoyed, but after hearing these quarrels, he was even more annoyed: "Shut up!" ”
He rubbed his temples and looked at the first person who started his hand: "Gu Qing, what do you think?" ”
The young man's noble face was indifferent but respectful: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter has to be prevented, but there is no need to be too nervous. Even if there is really a desire for iniquity, it is just a group of rats in the gutter, it should be that they are afraid of Your Majesty, and there is no reason for Your Majesty to prevent rats for a thousand days. ”
Emperor Jianliang's anxious mood was suddenly calmed down, and he laughed: "Well said!" A bunch of rats in the gutter are not qualified to upset me. Gu Qing, I'll leave the matter of probing those rats to you. If necessary, do it urgently. ”
The implication is that it can be cut first and then played.
"Yes."
With this great power, the young man is neither humble nor arrogant.
King Qin's eyes were stained with jealousy.
Such a big event, the father and the emperor actually handed it over to an outsider, and did not use his own son!
Gu Zhan!
This king remembers you!
