Chapter 29: The Pupil of the Ruins (10)
Gu Changqing and Qian He sat opposite each other, and there was a woman beside each of them, but the two women had been stunned by Qian He's spell.
"It's just right to be in Lord Mo's Mansion, and Lord Gu has also seen something strange, right?"
Gu Changqing nodded and said, "Lord Qian should be the same as I thought." ”
"Master Gu will talk about it. ”
Although Master Mo was very anxious about the theft of his precious grandson, after seeing the prisoner, he did not care why the prisoner stole his grandson, and he did not ask until the end. ”
Qian He said with relief: "It seems that the hero sees something the same, my opinion is that Lord Mo seems to think that Iga Immortal is not the one who really stole his grandson, and he knows in his heart who did it." ”
Gu Changqing said: "I guess he only understood who that person was after seeing Iga Xian." ”
"Why did Master Gu say that?"
"The panic that Lord Mo had before he met Iga Xian was real, and he didn't hide it in the slightest. ”
Qian He said: "I think he only understood it after seeing Iga Xian's magical teleportation. ”
Gu Changqing approvingly: "It seems that Lord Qian is like watching the fire. ”
"It's over, Lord Gu. ”
Qian He drank all the wine in the cup and sighed: "But it's a pity that Master Mo seems to have decided not to delve into it anymore. ”
Gu Changqing said: "In that case, isn't Lord Qian trouble-free?"
Qian He shook his head and said: "You and I are both officials, you should understand my thoughts, it is a pity that such a mysterious case was not solved in the end to find out the truth." ”
"Lord Mo decided not to dig deeper, can't Lord Qian go and investigate?"
Qian He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and said: "It's difficult, in De'an Mansion, who dares to disobey Master Mo, if I let Master Mo know that I am still investigating this case, I'm afraid that my black yarn hat will be lost, I am forty-three years old this year, and I will be promoted in a few months, I don't want anything to go wrong at this time." ”
Gu Changqing said: "Could it be that Lord Qian can't bear to watch an innocent person be wronged?"
Qian He retorted: "He is not wronged, he himself admits it." ”
"That being the case, I won't say much more. ”
Qian He was depressed in his heart, drank another glass of wine, and said: "The reason why I said so many heartfelt words to Lord Gu is because I think that Lord Gu is also a pusher, and he can understand my thoughts, and some words are stuffy in my heart, and it is really uncomfortable. ”
Gu Changqing raised his glass and said, "Lord Qian is serious, the adults trust him so much, and he is embarrassed." ”
Qian He touched the cup with him and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then please tell me the truth from Master Gu." ”
"What's the truth?"
Qian He smiled: "It seems that I am the bright moon in the ditch, but Lord Gu still can't believe me." ”
Gu Changqing thought in his heart, the reason why Qian He was like this to himself must be to obtain his origin, and he had doubts about his identity from the beginning.
Although it is true that a magistrate from Jiading Mansion came here to handle the case, the information that Gu Changqing saw from the file was that the magistrate of Jiading Mansion died unexpectedly halfway through.
At that time, the De'an Mansion and the Dao Gong Division had investigated the matter, but in the end, it was not resolved.
This is an established fact that has already happened, so he did not tell the truth when he met Qian He for the second time.
He said that the priest was vague, just hearsay, in fact, he had confirmed that the magistrate of Jiading Mansion was indeed dead.
So in the face of Gu Changqing, he has been tempting.
Qian He is a very clever person, and it is no wonder that he will become the prefect in seven or eight years.
Gu Changqing felt that if he continued to conceal it, not only would he not be able to gain Qian He's trust, but it would cause Qian He's hostility towards him, and once he pushed Qian He to the opposite side, he would not only not be able to get help, but would also be able to cause more trouble, which would be very unfavorable to himself.
After thinking about it, Gu Changqing felt that he should properly tell some truths, although it could not be the whole truth, but at least it should be the truth that could make Qian He believe.
Gu Changqing sighed and said: "There is indeed something unspeakable below. ”
Qian He nodded and said, "Okay, since it's inconvenient for Lord Gu to say, can you ask a few questions?"
"If I can answer, I will tell you the truth. ”
"I don't think your official uniform looks like a fake, and you also act in the style of an official, can you take a look at the official seal book with me?"
Gu Changqing said: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't have the official seal book around." ”
Entering this chaotic time and space, Gu Changqing decided in a hurry, without any prior preparation, and even if he was prepared, he might not bring the official seal and the certificate with him.
Qian He said: "Lord Gu said this, how can I believe it? I have already seen the corpse of the magistrate from Jiading Mansion in the Dao Gong Division. ”
Gu Changqing said: "I can only say that although I am not the official of Jiading Mansion, I must be a genuine official." ”
You can't tell Qian He that he is from the De'an Mansion seven or eight years later, right?
Qian He stared at Gu Changqing for a long time, judging from his facial expressions and eyes, he could confirm that Gu Changqing was not lying, this was the experience he had gained over the years as a pusher.
It's just that he thinks what kind of case is being investigated, and he can't even say where the yamen comes from?
Gu Changqing saw that Qian He had already believed half of it, and immediately increased his efforts, and said: "I was directly assigned by the above, please don't doubt it." ”
"Above?" Qian He asked, "which one is above?" ”
Gu Changqing pointed to the roof: "The top." ”
Qian He gasped and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the case that Lord Gu wants to investigate involves a high-ranking official of our De'an Mansion?"
"I haven't found out whether there are high-ranking officials involved, but it is already certain that this case involves Chen Changxue, the magistrate of Anlu County. ”
"Chen Changxue?"
Gu Changqing saw that Qian He had finally let down all his guard, and immediately threw Chen Changxue out of it, anyway, his purpose was also to get Qian He's help, so he could kill two birds with one stone, not only to dispel Qian He's suspicions, but also to get his help.
"Presumably Lord Qian is very familiar with Chen Changxue, right?"
Qian He nodded and said: "Lord Chen came to Anlu County three years ago, and I was already a pusher at that time, although this person is not high, but he is very qualified for one term as an official, and I am also very compatible with him." “
Gu Changqing said: "There may be no problem with being an official, but secretly hiding an important offense is to touch the law of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Possession of a criminal?"
Gu Changqing said matter-of-factly: "There is a blonde man beside him, who is a key criminal to be arrested above, and he has always arranged for him to take good care of him. ”
"Blonde man?"
Gu Changqing nodded and said, "I'll tell you the truth, the blonde man stole an important item on it, and that's what I'm here for." ”
"What important items?"
"This can't be announced, if Lord Qian can trust me, you might as well help me find that person and retrieve things for the above, in this way, even if Lord Qian has made a great contribution, it may not be difficult to be promoted to the prefect in a few years. ”
The reason why Gu Changqing said this was that Qian He was the prefect seven years later, and at the same time, he also captured Qian He's great ambition for his career, and he learned this from the conversation just now, so it is absolutely feasible to tempt Qian He.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Qian He fell into deep thought.
Gu Changqing also knew in his heart what Qian He was worried about, and this was the only thing he was worried about.
He still couldn't determine the authenticity of Gu Changqing's identity.
If Gu Changqing's identity is true, then Qian He is indeed making meritorious contributions by helping Gu Changqing, but once Gu Changqing's identity is fake, then Qian He is likely to be a rebel and thief who has been deceived by villains.
Believing in Gu Changqing and helping Gu Changqing, Qian He may be appreciated from above, so that he will rise to the top, but once he believes it wrongly, it will be a catastrophe, not only can he not be promoted, but he will even be ruined, and his career will be interrupted.
This is a dilemma, but it is also a great opportunity.
No matter how Qian He thinks about it, in fact, Gu Changqing has already made a bamboo in his chest, and he has seen through Qian He's biggest shortcoming, that is, his desire for a career.
There is a saying that wealth and wealth seek in danger, and Qian He is definitely the kind of person who is willing to take huge risks to obtain extremely high returns.
