The bustling fleet of ships anchored at the wharf outside Suzhou, the nobles were all setting foot on this prestigious place for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited.

In spring, Suzhou is like a beauty out of the water hibiscus, particularly graceful. Today is also sunny, although it is evening, but the warm climate in the south of the Yangtze River still makes a few people feel refreshed. The warm breeze blew the willow that had sprouted on the riverbank trembled slightly, and the magpies on the branches chirped, as if welcoming the guests from afar. Such a new spring scene is completely different from this time in the north, the spring in the north is still cold and biting, covered in silver, which is like this Jiangnan has such a bright spring.

"Brother Gu, it seems that we are really right to come here with you, I have long heard the name of Suzhou, a water city in the south of the Yangtze River, but I have never had time to watch it. Although it is the first time to arrive, this is already a strong spring atmosphere, so I already feel that the trip is worthwhile" The younger son paused to watch the beautiful scenery of the wind-blown willow branches and the birds singing in spring, and his face became more and more relaxed. This son's name is Li Sheng, and he is the son of Lord Li, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty. Because Master Li is already over the age of old, and this Li Gongzi is only just at the age of a weak crown, so under this old man, the whole Li family is very fond of Li Sheng, creating such a gentleman, although he is young, but he is already wandering flowers, and there are countless women in his mother's family who have been ruined by him, and he has the name of "Little Overlord" in the capital.

Needless to say, the leading son surnamed Gu is the eldest grandson of the prime minister Gu Xiang's family, although he is also a gentleman, but his talent is eye-catching, and he is proficient in martial arts, good at strategy, and is very famous in the upper circle of the capital. When everyone thought that Gu Gongzi would be able to hug the beauty, he ran into a wall at the princess. Princess Nishang didn't care about it at all, but because of Tianji's entrustment, she ignored Gu Sheng, so Gu Gongzi always thought that he could impress Princess Nishang's reassurance. Until a few days ago, the princess suddenly came to her residence and made it clear that the person she intended was the person of the Ye family in Jiangnan, which made Gu Gongzi angry, and he contacted the gentleman in the capital, preparing to make the Ye family in Jiangnan look good.

Gu Gongzi heard the admiration of the Li family's son, so he echoed his head and said softly: "I think you are all the most famous characteristics of Suzhou", Gu Sheng's mouth flashed a chuckle, and his eyes were full of deep meaning.

The sons and brothers all showed a wicked smile, and the son of the master of the household department Shangshufang even said explicitly: "Brother Gu, look at what you asked, of course we know that the women in Suzhou are smart and beautiful little jasper, and they are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are really a good match for men in the world." This time, the younger brother is looking for a woman who is like water in the south of the Yangtze River to relieve the pain of longing. Hehe......" Obviously, his words spoke the hearts of those sons, and they were all happy and eager to try.

Seeing that they were so anxious, Gu Sheng scolded with a smile: "Don't worry, it's only evening, how can you go to find a woman so early." When it gets a little late, a few of our sons in the capital can travel lightly and visit the city of Suzhou together. "I have to say that Gu Xiang's grandson has his own personality charm, to tame the liver] This group of high-eyed and low-handed gentlemen, you must know that the elders of these sons are all Gu Xiang's sworn enemies of the court, but what is unexpected is that their next generation is obedient to Gu Sheng, which is undoubtedly amazing.

As soon as Gu Sheng's voice fell, several gentlemen burst into embarrassed laughter, but for a moment, Gu Sheng stared at the phalanx of their gang not far away, his heart moved slightly, seeing that these people were well-trained, he knew the identity of the other party, and said with a light smile: "It turns out that the officials everywhere are the same, it seems that this Suzhou prefect is also a knowledgeable person, and it is the same as those small officials, who came here to greet us and others." It's just like that if you want to come to Suzhou."

The son of the Li family tilted his head slightly, looked at the array that had been waiting for them, smiled freely, and said disdainfully: "Of course, with the power of our few people, we can't tolerate him not to come to greet him, no matter how he helps the Ye family, but when we arrive, we will definitely break with the Ye family, otherwise be careful of their black yarn hats."

As he spoke, a middle-aged man with a big belly had already greeted him, bowed slightly, and said respectfully to the Gu family in front of him: "Suzhou prefect Shen Niante is here to greet all the sons, all the way, hard work, I, as the parent official of Suzhou, welcome you on behalf of the people."

When the prince of the Gu family saw that he recognized him, he still had a little doubt in his heart, so he did not look down on him because of the appearance of this prefect. At that moment, Gu Sheng took a few steps, stretched out his arm and patted Shen Nian's shoulder a few times, and said with a smile: "Lord Prefect has worked hard, we are all just a cloth cloth, so there is no need to give us such a big courtesy, but on the way, I heard many strange things, and I just want to ask Lord Prefect." When the few sons on the side saw Gu Sheng say this, their faces changed, and they looked coldly at the cowering Shen Zhifu in front of them.

After all, Governor Shen has also been in the officialdom for many years, and he was relieved from the nervousness of seeing so many sons and daughters in the capital at the beginning, and frowned slightly, and replied without humility or arrogance: "Gu Gongzi, I dare to guarantee that Suzhou has been in the forefront of the counties and counties for many years, and what rumors have reached the ears of all the sons, it is really a rumor, and it should not be true."

Gu Sheng secretly praised in his heart, and there was a hint of light in his eyes when he looked at this prefect, it seemed that he had underestimated this prefect. Not humble or arrogant, not chaotic in danger, based on reason, but what he said is really true, Suzhou has been leading in taxation for many years, it can be seen that the people here must be rich.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng's face was also a little softened, and he said kindly: "The merits of the Shen Governor's Mansion are known to the imperial court, and this prince is a reasonable person, and he will not believe those inexplicable gossips." It's getting late, and it looks like we're going to be stationed at the prefect's mansion. ”

"Gu Gongzi is polite, all the sons come to the cold house, so that the cold house is full of brilliance, if you don't dislike it, you can naturally live in the lower official mansion. Governor Shen invited flatteringly, then took a few steps back, straightened up, made a gesture of false invitation with his arm, and said, "Please"

Gu Gongzi did not shirk, bowed slightly to the few people behind him, and took the lead in following Shen Zhifu into the carriage prepared for them earlier. Seeing that it had been done, Governor Shen exhaled lightly, and with a wave of his big hand, he ordered everyone to march, and the soldiers and generals brought by Gu Gongzi all followed, heading towards the prefect's mansion.

The cigarette curtains in the carriage, the soft red carpet, extremely luxurious, several people sat separately, and for a while, they were speechless. Gu Gongzi pulled up the light veil, stared at the scenery of Suzhou City outside the window, and said with some sighs: "Hehe, we have underestimated this Suzhou prefect a little."

The rest of the people are also famous families, and they are also quite insightful about what they have seen and heard in the officialdom, and they look at each other, and they are all a little surprised by the ability of the Suzhou prefect. Fang Gongzi tilted his head slightly, looked at the scenery outside the window, sighed lightly, and said, "There is a reason for him to be able to govern a Suzhou city so well. Thinking about it, he also had nothing to fear, although everyone knew that he had something to do with the Ye family, but there was nothing he could do. How's that going to be?"

Several people frowned slightly, and they all moved their eyes to Gu Gongzi, if you want to make a plan, you still have to come to Gu Gongzi in person, maybe it is this kind of outstanding strategy that makes Gu Sheng gain a firm foothold in the circle of princes in the capital. Gu Gongzi was not surprised when he saw them coming, but his face was slightly gloomy, his eyebrows were lowered, and he looked at the constantly changing scenery outside the window in a daze.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng's eyes looked at the restaurants on both sides of the street, and then looked at the people who were watching him in front of him, recalling the elite soldiers and strong generals he brought, he couldn't help but chuckle, and said with a smile: "We attach too much importance to the Ye family, and we take this too seriously by the general trend of Suzhou

Several sons and brothers looked at each other, not understanding what Gu Sheng meant, the youngest Li Gongzi patted his head and said helplessly: "Brother Gu, don't sell Guanzi." You know that what I'm most afraid of is using my brain, and it's always been what you say, what I'm about. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, in fact, it was not this Li Sheng alone, in the past few years, subtly, these sons have been accustomed to Gu Sheng's orders, and if they change someone, they will feel awkward.

"You......" Gu Sheng pointed at Li Sheng a little helplessly, and when the latter flashed and smiled at him, he sighed, "Actually, it's simple, as long as we return to what we did in the capital a few years ago, won't the problem be solved?"

Fang Gongzi on the side heard the meaning, and said suspiciously: "Brother Gu means to let us return to that kind of gentleman and make trouble in this Suzhou City, right?"

Murong Gongzi, who had not spoken in the corner, said suspiciously: "Isn't it clearly forbidden by the elders of the family in the past two years, and we are not allowed to cause trouble anymore, will it be ...... if we do this?"

Gu Sheng smiled, shook his head lightly, slowly put away the folding fan, and said: "After all, we have left the capital, it can be said that the emperor is far away, and if we want to make trouble in this Suzhou city where the people are healthy, there is only this way." When the time comes, I don't believe that the prefect really has the courage to bring so many of us to justice."

"Ha Lu Ha...... All right...... Brother Gu is Brother Gu, this method is good" Li Sheng couldn't help but be a little excited when he saw that he could be so indulgent, and his phoenix eyes were shining, as if he saw that Jiangnan graceful woman was in front of him.

Fang Gongzi and the others were a little calmer, but they all saw the eagerness in their eyes, and they all glanced at each other, and they all bowed their heads slightly: "Yes, you can relive that free life again." ”

The policy has been decided, and Gu Sheng's arrangement is left, but seeing that he groaned slightly, he said in a deep voice: "Then it will be set tonight, starting from a Ye family's restaurant on the intelligence, just a few of us, plus some elite soldiers, can change the clothes ⊥of the guards, let's make a fuss first, and some guards are ready to deal with emergencies at any time."

In the middle of the night, the carriage stopped, and several sons and brothers jumped down, moved their muscles slightly, and when they raised their heads, they saw an antique house, and the wooden plaque on it had several golden characters "Shen Mansion" written on it

Gu Sheng summoned one of his generals, leaned over his ear, and commanded in a low voice. The general frowned, looked at the elite soldiers behind him, and said suspiciously: "Childe, you bring such a small number of people, if there is a problem with your safety, you will be unable to escape the blame for your death."

Gu Sheng's face turned pale, and there was a hint of light in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Just do what this son says" The general saw that the master insisted, and he was powerless, so he could only nod his head and say yes.

At this time, Gu Shengfang observed this house, turned his head, stared at Shen Zhifu, and said lightly: "The prefect is very luxurious, it seems that there is a lot of oil and water over the years" Shen Nian was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting: "Wronged, Gu Gongzi, the lower officials have always adhered to their duties, and they have not done anything to be sorry for the people, please also ask Gu Gongzi to be clear." ”

Gu Sheng just said this, knocking and knocking on this Suzhou prefect who is not too familiar with him, in such a rich place in Suzhou, naturally there is no need to lose the black yarn hat for a little money, he said this just to deter this Lord Shen, maybe, in a few hours, there will be a duel.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng also waved his hand, didn't say much, and led a few gentlemen into the prefect's mansion. At this time, he was very excited about what was coming, and it would be better to think that the man who could frustrate the Ye family's spirit and force out the Ye family's spirit would be greater.

"The Ye family...... The man ......" Gu Sheng gritted his teeth when he thought of Princess Nishang's words, his big hand had already clenched into a fist, and he couldn't wait to fight with it now, and the cold murderous aura around him made several noble sons behind him feel cold.

"Brother Gu......" A few people called softly, which made Gu Sheng come back to his senses, and he said sorry slightly, but then he thought about it, since that person is so arrogant, then I will suppress your arrogance in the officialdom, see what your Ye family should do?

This can really be described as "the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind", the Ye family still doesn't know what kind of undercurrent is hidden in Suzhou, which seems to be calm, and a conspiracy is about to strike.

It was getting late, Gu Gongzi took a group of several people to the streets of Suzhou, this group of people were gorgeously dressed, and the men were personable, along the way attracted a lot of women who paused to watch, and the Ye family's son, who was the best at indulging in flowers, came to the spirit, walked a few steps, holding a folding fan, phoenix eyes squinted slightly, leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, put it in the ear of a pretty woman, sniffed it suddenly, and chuckled: "Well, it's really fragrant, sure enough, the women in Suzhou are so shy." ”

The woman was already crimson with her cheeks, and she didn't dare to speak with her eyebrows down, but she peeked at the man in front of her slightly, and felt a little shy in her heart, this man is really beautiful, his face is like a crown of jade, his skin is fair, although he is not very old, but a kind of affinity for freedom is revealed, how good it would be to find such a husband.

"Phew...... Bah...... How can I think that......" The woman clenched her fists in exasperation and exclaimed, "You...... You ......" wanted to say the words of the other party's hooligan, but she couldn't say anything, and suddenly, the woman was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

Several other people also looked funny, but there was still business to do, Gu Sheng stepped forward and chuckled: "This girl, this is my younger brother, there is some fun, don't care, if you don't dislike it, you can go to the inn in front, I have a few questions for you, I don't know if it's okay?"

The woman first shook her head gently, but then frowned and shook her head suddenly, and for a long time, she had a bitter face, and she didn't know what to do.

Gu Sheng looked a little funny, and asked, "Girl, I don't know if I can appreciate my face?" "I want to go, but I still have the things that the young lady has explained to me that has not been completed?"

"What's there to cry about, little girl?" Li Gongzi on the side chuckled, and stretched out his slender hand to touch the woman's pretty face, which made the woman a little embarrassed, took a step back, and glared angrily. At this time, Li Gongzi saw a little way, it turned out that this pretty woman had kung fu, and he wanted to come to Brother Gu to find something, otherwise he wouldn't have let me intercept this woman. Thinking of this, Li Sheng turned his head and asked what Gu Sheng meant.

Gu Sheng looked at the woman's light movements, and was shocked, but his face remained unchanged, and he still asked calmly: "Girl, we have no malicious intentions, but we have some questions to ask, since the girl is leaving, I don't know where the girl is, so let us visit?"

The woman saw that the man in front of her was polite, although he was not as charming as the younger one, but he was exuding masculinity, and at the moment, the woman's face was even more red, and she lowered her eyebrows and whispered softly: "The little woman is from Yefu, I ...... I'm leaving......" With that, the woman looked deeply at the man in front of her, turned around, and deftly left.

The smile on Gu Sheng's face gradually dissipated, replaced by endless coldness, and said to himself: "A good Ye family, an ordinary woman has such skills."

The rest of the sons and women first shook their heads lightly, but then frowned and shook their heads suddenly, and for a long time, she had a bitter face, and she didn't know what to do.

Gu Sheng looked a little funny, and asked, "Girl, I don't know if I can appreciate my face?" "I want to go, but I still have the things that the young lady has explained to me that has not been completed?"

"What's there to cry about, little girl?" Li Gongzi on the side chuckled, and stretched out his slender hand to touch the woman's pretty face, which made the woman a little embarrassed, took a step back, and glared angrily. At this time, Li Gongzi saw a little way, it turned out that this pretty woman had kung fu, and he wanted to come to Brother Gu to find something, otherwise he wouldn't have let me intercept this woman. Thinking of this, Li Sheng turned his head and asked what Gu Sheng meant.
