Whether it is Lishui or Yongchang, or Montenegro, Tonghai or even Nanwu Prefecture, they are all controlled by the cultivation sects, and more than one-third of the population in the territory are monks, which can be called an out-and-out country of monks.

Among the two factions of Luofu and Qingcheng, Qingcheng is undoubtedly more likely, although there is no strong evidence so far, they are the direct beneficiaries of this move, and this alone is enough for Gu Zuo to make a judgment.

Therefore, he came to the Tang Sect and asked Tang Tingfeng for assistance, and only the Tang Sect could help him in dealing with the Qingcheng faction. Of course, if Qingcheng sends a sword and a gun to join, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the Tang Sect to make a move, so I can only hope that the Qingcheng faction will tie its hands and feet, but if it really comes to the field of blatant intervention, Gu Zuo can justifiably report to the Chongxuan Bureau.

After seeing Tang Tingfeng, Gu Zuo also wanted to meet Tang Shisan, and Tang Junzhe told him that Tang Shisan was in Southern Wuzhou, sharing the joy of family with his daughter, son-in-law, and in-laws.

"Tang Songyuan was caught?" Gu Zuo asked.

"Of course not, that guy hid well this time, and he actually escaped Sister Hongyu's tracking, even I have to admire him. Tang Junzhe obviously admired it sincerely, and his words were full of sincerity.

The capture of Tang Songyuan, in addition to avenging Baihuamen, is actually not as significant as it was at the beginning, and now he has turned his face with Xian Yuxiang, and there is no longer any need for evidence, witnesses and the like, Gu Zuo insisted that it was Xian Yuxiang's instigation, so it is useless for Xian Yuxiang to deny it, Xian Yuxiang does not need to carry this pot, everything depends on the final result of the struggle between the two sides.

On the last day of Tianbao's tenth year, Gu Zuo returned to Nanwu Prefecture and immediately convened a group of confidants to discuss and tell the story of his entry into Beijing.

Liu Xuanji came up with an idea: "What I am most afraid of now is that Xian Yu excused us to postpone the two endowments this year, or else, today is the last day of the deadline, and it is still too late, let's rush to Yizhou, send the money to the Jiedu Mansion, and make a big announcement when we pay the money, at least we will stand on the truth first......

Cheng Shanhu glared at him: "Soft bones!"

Liu Xuanji said angrily: "Does this have anything to do with whether the bones are soft or hard? What I said is to take the truth first, lest the court say that we haven't paid the money in the future!"

Cheng Shanhu said: "We won't pay this money!"

Yuan Dao Chang resolutely stood on Cheng Shanhu's side: "That's right, you can't hand it over to anyone and give it to Xian Yuxiang, just don't hand it over, see what he can do!"

Gu Zuo looked at the butcher, the butcher thought for a moment, and said: "The master and junior brother of the pavilion went to Chang'an in person, and he has already expressed our intentions in Southern Wuzhou to the Son of Heaven, to the political affairs hall, and to the civil and military officials. ”

Zhao Xianglu immediately echoed: "God, 100,000 yuan, it is a sum to save a penny." ”

Seeing that the majority of people's opinions were not to be handed over, Gu Zuo nodded: "Then don't hand it over, please ask Senior Brother Tu to preside over the committee meeting, seek the consent of all members, and explain the situation to them at the same time, so as to win the understanding and support of more people." ”

While discussing, the scribe in the study sent a letter from Long Wujun, and Gu Zuo was speechless after reading it, and passed the letter on.

On December 26, after Li Linfu checked the damage caused by the Qishan earthquake, he became ill from overwork on the way back and died!

Seeing this news, Gu Zuo had a strong sense of absurdity for a while, the day of Li Linfu's death was the ninth day after Gu Zuo's visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and with Gu Zuo's judgment of Li Linfu at that time, he had no possibility of dying at all.

But there are many reasons for death, it may be that something went wrong when he was cultivating at night, it may be that he ate a fake when he was taking the elixir, or it may be that he suffered an accident, or even someone assassinated him, the only impossible thing is death.

Gu Zuo suddenly remembered that when he was pretending to be a god stick in the apricot orchard, Li Fuguo and Yuan Zai both asked about Li Linfu's good luck, and he said that he should have a catastrophe in his fate, but he didn't expect it to come true so soon.

But in any case, Li Linfu's death will definitely cause a shock in the world, regardless of what happens in the states and counties, at least everyone in Nanwu Prefecture is running and talking.

On the first day of the first month of Tianbao Eleventh, Gu Zuo met two friends from Chang'an, who were Zhang Sui, the supervisor of Tiantai and the Fa No. and Dr. Chun Yujian, the Taiyi Pavilion of the Fa Jianzhen.

Gu Zuo teased them: "How heartfelt are the two of you, you didn't even come to Nanwu Prefecture without even passing the Zhengdan?" I heard that tonight's Furong Garden feast for the ministers, Niangniang and Li Twelve are going to perform on stage, you really missed it!"

Jianzhen didn't care: "Poor monk...... Zhang Daoyou and I have resigned, where are we still qualified to feast in Furong Garden. No matter how good the singing and dancing are and how grand the banquet is, how can it compare to the trip to Nanzhao?"

Yixing also smiled: "Chun Yu Daoyou and I can't wait to come south!"

Seeing that they were so eager, Gu Zuo took out the Yongchang edict map and pointed out the scope to them, and the two of them immediately geared up, and their excitement was beyond words.

During the chat, he talked about Li Linfu's "death", and said: "There may be something strange in this, there are rumors that Li Xiang was fine when he returned from Qizhou, and when the boat stopped in Wugong County, he went to the banquet of the county order, and during the banquet, people suddenly died." ”

Jianzhen added: "The Wugong County Order has been arrested, but I heard that he hanged himself in prison, and I don't know whether it's true or not, and the Son of Heaven has attributed the matter to Yang Xiang for verification." How can you find out what is good about this?"

Everyone knows that Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong are regarded as fire and water, so many people think that this matter may be related to him, and let him preside over the investigation, and I don't know what the Son of Heaven is thinking.

The party and Jianzhen left Nanwu Prefecture and went to the no-man's land marked by Gu Zuo for them to find a suitable place to build a mountain gate, while Gu Zuo went to Fuguiyuan and told the family about it.

Zhang Fugui immediately said: "Senior Brother Gu is right, it is indeed very similar to the situation when Tang Songyuan set up wine that day. ”

Tang 13 and Tang Hongyu also thought so, and immediately decided to go to Chang'an after the fourth day of the new year to find a way to check.

Not long after the family left, the official documents of the imperial court were issued, and Yang Guozhong Jinzhong Zhongshu Ling and Qianshang Shuzuo shot and became the first person in the political affairs hall!

The Lishui faction, which was looking at the direction of the imperial court, immediately reacted, and the three ladies came to Nanwu Prefecture again.

"Xian Yuxiang is Yang Guozhong's person, Yang Guozhong covers the sky with one hand, Xian Yuxiang must be even more arrogant, I heard that he has returned to Yizhou, what will happen next, we really want to hear the opinion of the owner of the Gu Pavilion. ”

"History has shown that war is inevitable!"

"History?" the third lady wondered.

"I mean, there is often an inevitability in the development of history...... Okay, to put it bluntly, it's going to be a war. ”
