Compared with the three major dynasties that have only emerged for decades, most of the world's top tribes are still composed of sects and major clans, and they control the resource channels of major industries.

Even if it was swept away by that 'Yue Shuai' back then, countless clans and clans were either destroyed or fell to the imperial court, but they still couldn't change some of the 'rules' driven by interests.

Clan, this kind of existence is composed of the major families with the same surname, in order to be able to achieve a certain balance with the major clans within the 'world sect system'. They will all be in the same spirit, and they will often refer to themselves as a certain clan rather than a certain clan.

It is precisely because of this that so many ordinary people in the world who are struggling to survive can rely on a behemoth like the clan to shelter from the wind and rain, although the clan cannot escape the shackles of the 'clan system'.

Of course, there can also be a family member in the sect to occupy a place, which is the so-called 'some kind of balance of interests', after all, most things in this world are the first thing after all.

Even if you are an important minister of the court, there is no guarantee that a lot of intricate relationships will not be involved in your interest network.

Because, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Just like the team in front of him, isn't the marriage between the Zhang family and the Ouyang family the best and most direct way to conclude this kind of interest relationship.

Looking at this team of red streams that could not be seen at a glance, and being welcomed into Zhang's mansion, Gu Shuleng seemed to have no heart to look any further, and was about to turn around and leave. There was a long sigh in the crowd next to him, his voice revealing helplessness and sadness, and there seemed to be a few catties of sour water in his stomach to vomit.

Gu Shuleng didn't pay attention to it, and continued to turn around and leave, but he didn't take a few steps before being caught up.

What stopped him was a good-looking young man, dressed in a Confucian shirt, and quite tall.

It's quite tall, taller than Yanxin, and it's the type that Gu Shuleng doesn't like to talk to. Because he is only fourteen years old now, and his stature is still a little short, he needs to look up when talking to this kind of person, and he is naturally not very happy to stand and talk to Yanxin.

So he put on a tone of rejection thousands of miles away, and said, "This brother, is there something wrong?"

The young man sighed and said, "I look at the temperament of the little brother is also a scholar, although there are many scholars in these years, but it is also extremely rare in this city, and it is fate to be able to meet, just say hello." ”

Gu Shu raised his eyebrows coldly, pointed to a few Qingshan Confucian scholars in the crowd behind him, and said meaningfully: "Compared to me, the sword-bearer, aren't those few more like scholars?"

The young man's face was stunned, and finally he wondered and smiled bitterly: "How can you dismantle the stage like this, shouldn't you be polite first, and then talk about the scholars who hate to see each other late?"

Gu Shuleng hurriedly moved a few steps and looked at the young man with disgust.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and said sadly: "I am a person who has a favorite woman, and I don't have that kind of habit." ”

"Oh, could it be the Ouyang family's maid who is already approaching the door?" Gu Shuleng asked with interest.

The young man sighed with a melancholy look on his face.

Gu Shu sighed coldly: "If it is really your heart, it will most likely be to do something before that Ouyang woman's sedan chair goes out, and so it will follow all the way." It's just that Brother Tai seems to be waiting here early in the morning, and he doesn't necessarily like it much. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Why did the little brother see that I was waiting here for a long time, instead of following the sedan chair?"

Gu Shuleng didn't bother to answer, and looked at this neatly dressed young man with an idiot look.

The young people also realized this, and also thought that Xiangfang District and Yulin District are separated by several urban districts, and the sedan chair team must set off before dawn to arrive in Yulin District before noon. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Gu Shuleng said meaningfully: "It seems that you are the same as me, and you have something else. ”

The young man's eyes narrowed, and he heard the sound outside the strings, and he no longer concealed his sigh: "It is worthy of Mr. Gu of Gu Caotang, and in just a few words, you can guess my purpose and identity." ”

Gu Shuleng knew that once he stepped into Yulin Street, the Supervision Department would know that he had come in accordance with that agreement, of course, he was not so leisurely to watch other people's weddings, and there was no need to eat a dispensable breakfast, he was just waiting for someone to spend extra time.

The young man was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are you the only one who came?" ”

He was very puzzled that he went to the appointment alone without even bringing Gu Caotang alone, even if he did this, it would be a drop in the bucket. The Supervision Department is completely interested in the big fish behind this Mr. Gu, but he never thought that he, a person who has never cultivated, will not even be afraid of his own safety, or will he really have something to rely on?

Gu Shu sneered and looked around at the noisy crowd.

The young man understood, and pointed in a direction to signal Gu Shuleng to follow.

The two of them came to a small tea stall in the middle of nowhere, and sat down, which seemed to be a good place for conversation.

Gu Shuleng understands that this is most likely a dark spot of the Supervision Department, which is specially used as a semi-public external contact point. His gifted 'intuition' could even detect that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.

After the young man sat down, he was very direct and honest: "Liu Sentao is dead." ”

Gu Shu sneered, indicating that he had heard the meaning of this sentence.

The meaning of this sentence was clear, it was to tell him that the Inspectorate was already aware of his dealings with the secret official, and that he knew what role he played in these matters, and to warn him not to be cautious.

The young man frowned, and with some surprise, the person in front of him directly admitted it, and it also disrupted his follow-up questioning. In his mind, this resourceful and decisive Gu Caotang master would definitely deny it, pretend to be suspicious and innocent, and finally push it all away, after all, this kind of serious crime that is enough to kill the head is difficult for anyone to bear.

So he sneered: "You mean, you don't care about the crime of colluding with others to kill the former Supervision Department in charge?"

Gu Shuleng corrected: "I don't have the ability to collude with Lord Liu, I just told him suggestions on how to achieve the goal." ”

The young man suddenly burst out laughing, and then was amazed, "Mr. Gu, you are really a wonderful person, I always thought that you would be the kind of person who is like those strategists, there is a sharp edge in his words, and he has to do everything he can when talking to people. But I didn't expect it to be so direct, and I became more and more reluctant to kill you. ”

Gu Shu was noncommittal, he poured a cup of tea, but seemed to be frightened by that murderous word, and shook some tea off the table.

A hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, but he didn't think much about it, straightened his expression, and said with a smile: "Since you and I are both cheerful people, then I don't have to beat around the bush anymore." After a pause, he stared at Gu Shu's cold eyes and asked, "Why do you want to erase some of the records in those files, you don't need to prevaricate me, I have already made people recover those deleted contents, but the answer I came to made me very puzzled." ”

"It's the Supervision Department, and it's much faster than I thought. Gu Shuleng was a little surprised at first, then dipped his fingers in the tea on the table, and made a thoughtful appearance while sketching on the table. Of course, he said: "Of course, because it was deliberately I set up suspicions, and I made it to achieve one of my goals." ”

"What purpose. ”

"In order for a man to come to me. ”

The young man suddenly sneered, not paying the slightest attention to the young man's small movements, and he said calmly, "You can't be me." Then he added, "Why did you come from me, not anyone else?" ”

Gu Shu let out a long sigh of relief, narrowed his extremely slender eyeliner, smiled intoxicatingly, and was even more irrepressibly proud. At this point, he had achieved many goals, and only one thing was left to accomplish the one thing he had been thinking about day and night. He said:

"Because, "The various positions of the city division do not move in chaos, only the shadow holds the flag and allocates ownership". ”

The young man's heart sank, and he said coldly: "It turns out that you have been looking for so many years... It's me. ”
