"It seems that you are in good health recently. Is there anything you feel uncomfortable about?" Qingping kept Gu Qiang's physical condition hidden from Gu Huai'an. The psychological pressure is actually very high, but fortunately, Shen Siyin is usually very calm. She is very lively and often comes to play with me. Over the years, I have never seen a girl with such a lively personality around me. When I meet her rarely, I have the temperament of a child and start playing with him. , but he knew in his heart that he was a commoner, how could he be worthy of a noble princess? They can only seize the opportunity while the two of them can still communicate. As long as they can experience so many wonderful times, that's enough.
Gu Qiang nodded, "I haven't felt any discomfort recently. It seems that your medical skills are quite good."
In order to avoid any accidents, Gu Qiang arranged for his brother to continue investigating the matter about his mother and concubine. After all, he is the Minister of Rites, and it will be easier to investigate some files and other things. He has been relatively busy recently. He was busy, so he never paid special attention to his sister's condition. It became easier for Qingping to hide it from him.
I'm afraid Gu Linjiang still doesn't know it now. I really want to see what his reaction will be when he sees that his warehouse full of business has disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qiang felt that she had indeed slowly changed and become cruel. In the past, she might not have done anything to Gu Linjiang, but it was different now. She had been let down too much. Well, it is impossible to repay kindness with kindness to everyone. For her, this is absolutely impossible.
"I think he will go crazy." A familiar voice sounded behind Gu Qiang. Gu Qiang has indeed been very busy during this period. Since he has forgotten how many days he has not seen his brother, Gu Qiang Huaian also came to Xiaoyao Tower because he was bored reading the files. He has never had any extreme reaction in so many days. It was not because he was not touched by this matter. In fact, it was also for his own sake. sister.
"Brother, why are you here too? Have you finished all the matters at hand?"
"You stupid girl, is it possible that I can't come over until I finish taking care of the things at hand? You haven't seen me for so many days, and you don't even think about it. It seems that I'm just being sentimental, and I shouldn't be. come over."
Gu Huaian pretended to be angry and was about to turn around and leave. Gu Qiang had quick eyesight and quickly stopped Gu Huaian, "No, no, how is this possible?"
Gu Qiang was not the kind of person who would be on guard against her relatives. This time, she hid everything from her brother just because she was afraid that she would be angry. In fact, she had no intention of keeping her brother in the dark. , but there are some things that you really can't hide if you want to. Gu Qiang believes that her brother should have heard a lot of news during this period, but he just didn't take any action for a while.
"Qian'er, promise me, no matter what, you won't force him to die, okay?"
Gu Qiang hesitated slightly after hearing what her brother said. Gu Huai'an actually really didn't know about the various connections between Lou Mingyue and Gu Linjiang. He never had time to tell her. If Lou Mingyue could successfully pull the strings, Gu Linjiang would never let him go easily.
But Gu Qiang also knew that every move he made now was very important. Shen Zhongbai and Gu Linjiang were paying attention to him all the time. If he was a little soft-hearted, he would very likely fall into someone else's trap. Once trapped, everyone will fall into an irreversible situation, so now that Shen Qianshan is away, he must be very cautious in every step he takes.
It wasn't until Gu Linjiang and Song Yu returned to the capital that Gu Qiang began to think about what he should do next. But it was obvious that things had not really begun yet. Everything seemed to have never happened, except that he would never come back. Except for Huang Hao, everything seemed to be very peaceful.
But no one thought that the trap Shen Zhongbai set this time was not just targeting Huang Hao alone, his purpose was also to get rid of Gu Linjiang.
When Gu Huaian and Shen Qianshan saw Song Yu at the banquet, Song Yu had not yet taken sides. As a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he must be more biased towards Shen Zhongbai, so at that time, Shen Qianshan and Gu Huaian In fact, I have already thought about it. Even if they really want to form a team, Song Yu will definitely stand on Shen Zhongbai's side. As expected.
Song Yu came back this time, not only with Huang Hao's remaining soldiers, but also with evidence that Gu Linjiang secretly hid the disaster relief funds.
On the way back, Song Yu actually knew that a mysterious person was secretly helping the victims. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still felt relieved. After all, he had always made an agreement in his heart. The emperor's plan would not affect the survival of the victims, so his attitude was not very clear along the way.
The guard next to Song Yu looked at the evidence in his hand and looked at Song Yu with a smile, "Master, this time, we are definitely able to make a great contribution, right?"
Song Yu's bodyguard is not very utilitarian, but his master has always adhered to the golden mean in the court for so many years and will never choose to side with anyone, so there is nothing reliable. The patron, and even the emperor, had never looked at this little servant of his. How could he not be happy after finally achieving such a feat
Song Yu didn't speak, but nodded lightly. What else could he say? This incident put too much pressure on him. For me, when I watched Huang Hao being wronged and died tragically at the hands of Shen Zhongbai's guards, I really never felt that I'm such a bastard...
But all of this was to get rid of Gu Linjiang. This was all for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji. General Huang could be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country.
"Without further delay, let's enter the palace now." Song Yu tightened his grip on the evidence in his hands. These things were probably enough to bring Gu Linjiang down.
When Gu Linjiang returned home, he was actually a little excited. After all, he hadn't made any money for a long time. Although these gold and silver jewels were more than he could squander in a lifetime, people are greedy. How could you not be tempted
What Lou Mingyue said was right, and what Gu Qiang said was also right. Gu Linjiang did hide all the money he had embezzled over the years under the warehouse, but that was not entirely true. The secret room under the warehouse was actually It's just a cover. There are other agencies and other secret passages that can lead to other places. This is why Gu Linxi can get money near Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.
Gu Linjiang walked around and took the money into the secret room. What greeted him was an empty room. Even the room was clean. Gu Linjiang couldn't believe his eyes. It was still full when he left. Why did a house full of things become like this just a few days after I left home
"What's going on?" When Gu Linjiang saw such a scene, he really couldn't accept it. He took a step back and almost fell to the ground. His whole body seemed to have been hit hard, and his whole body had no strength.
The followers around him didn't dare to speak, and no one dared to say anything. On the contrary, it made Gu Linjiang's whole body collapse even more.
"My lord, the emperor has asked you to come to the palace." It was no coincidence that Gu Linjiang's servants came in to see Gu Linjiang at this time. He was already agitated, and now he felt even more uncomfortable. His whole state was no longer good. alright.
"roll!"
In the palace, Song Yu hurriedly told Shen Zhongbai everything that happened along the way. Shen Zhongbai's expression gradually changed. After all, he was in the court and it was difficult for him to have an attack. However, he did not expect that Song Yu was here. In a short period of time, so much evidence can be collected. If we don't seize such a good opportunity, we may not have such a good opportunity in the future.
In the main hall, Shen Zhongbai looked at Gu Linjiang who had arrived late. He was already very unhappy. When he saw that Gu Linjiang hadn't even changed into court clothes, he became even more angry. "It seems that Prime Minister Gu is really busy. I declare you to go to bed." You didn’t even change into court clothes?”
Gu Linjiang didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Shen Zhongbai's tone, "Your Majesty, I was ordered to go to southern Xinjiang to provide relief. I just returned to the house. Before I could take care of myself, I was announced to the palace by the emperor, so I didn't It’s too late to change into court clothes.”
Gu Linjiang has always been good at manipulating things like this. If he can attribute all his mistakes to the emperor, I'm afraid there won't be anyone else in the court.
"Really? Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is really busy and has made great contributions to our Bei'an. Should I reward you with something?"
Shen Zhongbai has been flipping through the account books in his hands. He thought that Gu Linjiang just embezzled a few small sums of money, but he did not expect that the money he had embezzled over the years was almost comparable to the amount of money in the national treasury. .
"Old minister, it is my duty to ask for any extravagant rewards. If possible, please ask the emperor to reward the victims of the disaster with all the things that were given to Lao Chen last time."
If this was what he said before, maybe Shen Zhongbai would still believe this old fox's lies, but now he couldn't believe it, "I think the victims don't need these things. The prime minister should come and see this kind of thing himself." good."
Gu Linjiang obviously noticed that Shen Zhongbai's tone seemed a little angry, so he did not dare to speak rashly and carefully took the things from the little eunuch's hands. The gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse had already been taken away. , It is not easy for Gu Linjiang to be able to stand in this place now. He did not expect that Shen Zhongbai would give him such a big surprise.
