"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this pastry. There is no need for you to get so angry. Maybe Miss Rong just wants to give something away."
Qi Bai was far away, so it was impossible to know what Rongyue and Gu Qiang were talking about, but since there was nothing wrong with the pastry, Qianqiu didn't actually have to be punished for this matter, right
"There is no problem this time, but what about in the future? If something like this happens again, can you ensure that there will be no problem with the things delivered to the princess next time?"
Shen Qianshan tried his best to explain the matter calmly, but in fact, Qianqiu did not think carefully today. It was because he failed to understand the situation that he caused such a result, "I said, you will never Don’t think that anyone will frame you and accept the punishment yourself, Qi Bai, you stay with me these days.”
Sometimes Qianqiu is indeed not as good as Qi Bai and An Ye in doing things. It is because of this that he actually arranged Qi Bai and An Ye to be with Gu Qiang for the sake of safety. However, he did not expect the final result. Like this.
"Qianqiu, remember one thing, no matter what, you can't let down your guard against the people around the princess."
After Shen Qianshan knew that Rong Yue had come today, his heart actually felt a little bit. Gu Qiang only left the palace after Rong Yue left. But what did Rong Yue say to her? Apart from the two of them eating, she should No one knew about it, and Shen Qianshan was also afraid that Rongyue said something he shouldn't have said, making Gu Qiang think too much.
"Qi Bai, follow me to Lingyin Pavilion."
Gu Qiang didn't dare to put the real and fake banknotes outside for comparison, so she could only stay in the room alone. To be honest, even in her own state, if she looked carefully, it was actually very... It's hard to tell the difference between a real bank note and a fake one, but it can't be said that there is no difference at all.
"A Liang, is the current situation very serious? If all those banknotes were taken from the hands of some grassroots civilians, could it be someone who had planned it for a long time?"
Gu Qiang looked at the two banknotes in front of him, and then compared them with the rubbings he got. At least it could prove that the source of these fake banknotes was not Gu Linjiang. After all, the printed patterns were still more or less the same. There are some differences, but other than people like him who might seek power and usurp the throne, who else could come up with such an idea
"Let's say we ignored someone."
Gusu Liang also suddenly remembered that it was only after Gu Qiang mentioned her father that Gusu Liang had this bold idea. After all, there was someone above the court who wanted to control the government like Gu Linjiang
"You mean this thing was probably done by Shangguan Hong?" Although Gu Qiang was also shocked by this idea, because Shangguan Hong has never been very eye-catching in her eyes, maybe because it is true He has no talent, perhaps because he has never accomplished anything in his own eyes.
But this kind of thing really seems like something he did. If Gu Linjiang wanted to use fake banknotes to defraud most of the gold and silver in Kyoto, wouldn't that mean that if Shangguan Hong had been cheating Gu Linjiang all along? If you regard it as your own goal, wouldn't it be possible to follow his example
"Not necessarily. When Gu Linjiang was in the court, he actually had no friendship with Shangguan Hong. Gu Linjiang has always been a very cautious person. If it were him, it would be really interesting. How could he put all his thoughts into doing these things? Tell everyone else?”
It's not that Gusu Liang hasn't dealt with Gu Linjiang before, but he just doesn't think he is such a person. Moreover, if Shangguan Hong is really imitating Dongshi, then this matter won't be so difficult to solve.
"I also feel like he doesn't have the brains. If it were him, he would never think of scattering these fake banknotes into the hands of ordinary people. I think he would directly find his own people to make trouble in your bank. "
Shangguan Hong has been doing this kind of thing from the beginning, which is why Gu Qiang feels that he has never been very smart. He always finds things that are unlikely for ordinary people to accomplish to challenge himself. The final result is often to steal the chicken but not lose. Put the rice.
"By the way, during this period of time, didn't Chu Tiankuo also lay wires in the airport? If it were him, would he get more information?"
After all, Chu Tiankuo is also from Tianji Pavilion. If there are any clues, he may be able to connect the whole thing together.
"Are you really sure you want to ask him for help with this matter?" After Gusu Liang heard this, he hesitated a little. Chu Tiankuo was indeed his friend, but sometimes, he was really uncomfortable. I'm willing to trouble him.
Perhaps since Chu Junyou had an incident in front of him, Gu Suliang began to feel that he should not have involved Chu Tiankuo in this matter from the beginning. If it were not for him, none of these things would have happened. .
"If you don't want to, we can think of other ways." Gu Qiang also knew that Chu Tiankuo was thinking wholeheartedly about how to avenge his brother, although Chu Tiankuo wanted to He wants to help everyone, but sometimes, his approach is often too eager for quick success. When everyone can't reach an agreement, Gu Qiang actually doesn't want to embarrass him.
"He may still be busy with what he is doing. If you can avoid bothering him, try not to."
If he could go to Chu Tiankuo for help from the beginning, Gusu Liang wouldn't be in such a dilemma now.
"Let's do this. The two of us split up to look for some clues. Since the group of people where these fake banknotes appeared has been very clear, we can start with these people. The relationship between these ordinary people is relatively simple. It is relatively simple to investigate. It’s also more convenient.”
Gu Qiang took this matter relatively lightly. The source had been determined. As long as he could follow this line and find it bit by bit, there should be no problem.
Gusu Liang didn't think of any better way for the time being. However, when he first discovered that this was a fake banknote, he had already sent people to quietly record those who used the banknotes to exchange them for cash. If we want to find out who this person is now, we should have some clues.
"Let me tell you, if it were you, you would never miss such an important clue."
Gu Qiang looked at the handwriting of Juanxiu on the accountant in Gusu Liangqianzhuang, and felt a little relieved. At least she had not gained nothing yet.
The two of them had just finalized the matter when Shen Qianshan opened the door and walked in. It was dinner time in Lingyin Pavilion. There were too many people downstairs, and Shen Qianshan did not stay downstairs for long. , he walked directly upstairs. When he saw the light on in the room where Gu Qiang usually lived, he knew she must be there now.
"Qian'er, when will you go back?"
Shen Qianshan asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door, as if nothing had happened. After seeing his attitude, Gu Qiang still felt that something was wrong in her heart, "I won't do it for the time being." It’s not convenient for me to live in the palace, so there is no need for the prince to leave a room for me.”
After hearing this, Shen Qianshan thought on his toes that Rongyue must have said something unpleasant when he went to see Gu Qiang today, but it was indeed something he did wrong. At first, Gu Qiang Remind yourself that Rongyue is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother. Although there may be problems, she has always firmly believed that Rongyue has been her friend since childhood and there will never be any problems.
But now it was too late to regret it. It was a foregone conclusion that Rongyue drugged him. He never thought that the person he had trusted so much for so many days would be the one who gave him a fatal blow in the end.
"You are my king's princess, and you will always have a place to live in the palace. You absolutely don't have to worry about that."
How could Shen Qianshan not know in his heart that Gu Qiang was definitely wronged today, but at this time, he couldn't tell the whole thing because he didn't know whether the Queen Mother was behind Rong Yue or not. What is the real purpose of Yue acting like this
"Forget it, let's free up the entire place where I live for your childhood sweetheart. Your princess is already dead. If I live in the palace like this, it will be unfair and will cause other people to gossip. "
Gu Qiang behaved relatively calmly. Whenever she talked about this matter with him, she would think of the face Rongyue used when she came to see her during the day.
Although I know that Rong Yue must be a scheming person, but a woman will not remain indifferent no matter what when she sees a scene like that.
"I can also make a place for the two of you to practice swordsmanship. What do you think of this, Your Majesty?" Gu Qiang couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qianshan felt inexplicably better.
Before that, no matter what happened, Gu Qiang would consider other people's feelings, especially when something happened to herself. She would definitely put aside everything and take care of herself first. But like that, Shen Qianshan simply couldn't There was no way of knowing what was going on in her mind.
It seems that Gu Qiang is not always calm about everything. Shen Qianshan finally knows that Gu Qiang is never willing to compromise when it comes to his own affairs.
"You can compete in swordsmanship anywhere. There is no need to stay in the palace all the time, but I have always had only you as my princess."
