Gu Ming Ke looked at the gate not far away. There were still water marks on the steps and the door, which seemed to have been scrubbed just now. The colleagues in Dali Temple noticed Gu Ming Ke's gaze, followed him, his face changed slightly, and he complained in a low voice: "The saint is really indulgent, usually he spoils his daughter, squanders money and acts arrogantly, so we won't say anything. I didn't expect that even the government affairs were left to their nonsense. Are women's family members able to intervene in major national affairs? My daughter set up an organization to make her mess around, and she was named a third-rank commander. The third-rank officer is so holy, and now she has become a plaything of a little lady. will not be a country."

Gu Ming Ke heard these words, and said quietly: "The two sages are coming to court, the sun and the moon are shining together, you'd better not say these words? Let's talk about it again. Although all the officials in the court are men, there is no mention in the code Women are not allowed to be officials. After a while, if she can't achieve anything, it's not too late to mock her."

The colleagues in Dali Temple looked at Gu Ming Ke in disbelief: "Gu Sicheng, what are you doing? The saint has soft ears and let his daughter mess around, and you can't be soft? Lord Sheng Yuan established a so-called demon suppression Secretary, comparing Dali Temple everywhere, there is a hint of tit-for-tat. As an official of Dali Temple, you are the number one orthodox disciple of the Ming Dynasty. Shouldn't you hate Sheng Yuangong? Master Sheng Yuan, should you say it for her? What words!"

"It's just a fair word." Gu Mingke said, "The salary of the emperor and the matter of loyalty to the emperor, since the sage does this, he has his own consideration. Don't want to talk about it. The sage is still waiting in the palace." Li, let’s go face to face first.”

The colleagues in Dali Temple knew that this was in the palace, although they were not angry, they could only reluctantly shut up. Tianhou has a lot of eyes and ears, if his dissatisfaction with women's participation in politics reaches Tianhou's ears, it may not be good. For the sake of their own future, colleagues in Dali Temple endured silently.

Dali Temple is in the east of the imperial city, very close to the East Palace, but a little distance from the place where the upper court is held. Because of the episode just now, Gu Ming Ke and his colleagues walked silently towards Tong Ming Hall without saying a word.

Gu Ming Ke glanced at the upright and solemn palace city. After so many years, the shape of the palace building has changed a lot. Gu Ming Ke looked a little uncomfortable and also a little emotional.

It turned out that Kui Kingdom was still destroyed. Back then, the oath of unifying the world and being emperor for thousands or thousands of generations was still in my ears, but the rise and fall of the world was not special for the Qin family.

The Qin family has been annihilated in the long river of history, and the current ruler of the world is Li Tang.

When Gu Mingke went out to watch the demon town today, it was not because he was dissatisfied with women's involvement in politics, but because he happened to remember something. Jiao Wei muttered inadvertently, saying that recently someone inquired about Gu Mingke's past. What Jiao Wei said was unintentional, but Gu Ming Ke remembered it.

Gu Ming Ke looked up Jiao Wei's memory and found that he was Li Chaoge's person. Gu Mingke is not surprised by this result. He already knew that it would be her.

His identity is probably about to be exposed.

Gu Ming Ke hadn't paid attention to the matter of the female ghost and Pei Chuyue, but he could sense that someone had seen Gu Ming Ke's fate, combined with Pei Chuyue's marriage to someone else, Pei Chuyue was concerned about the original Gu Ming? Ke has a good impression, and many factors are superimposed, it is not difficult to guess that Pei Chuyue's ghost marriage partner is Gu Ming Ke.

Marriage in the underworld is a ritual in the underworld, which is different from the underworld in many ways, but the process is roughly the same. To get married in the dark, you need to write the horoscopes of the birthdays of both men and women on the marriage letter to tell God, and then worship the heaven and earth, parents, and husband and wife. The Pei family didn't find the marriage certificate, and the female ghost was sent to the monastery, and there was no trace of the marriage certificate, so it had to be taken away by Li Chaoge.

Gu Mingke thought of the day after ghost hunting, Li Chaoge suddenly came to him early in the morning, staring at his cheeks and neck thoughtfully, all kinds of strange things, more and more confirmed that the marriage certificate was in her hands.

A ghost marriage requires at least one dead person. The original Gu Ming Ke has gone to reincarnation and is indeed dead. It will be revealed that he is not Gu Ming Ke.

Judging from the attitude of the Pei family towards him, this is the only case at present? Li Chaoge knows that Mrs. Pei and others don't know who the other person in the ghost marriage is. The evidence is in Li Chao singer. It seems that she has already guessed eight or nine.

He wasn't worried about this, so what if he wasn't the real Gu Ming Ke, the world thought he was, and that was enough. The supernatural powers of the immortal family are far beyond Li Chaoge's reach. Xiao Ling used a mirror to change the memories of people in this world. Even if Li Chaoge doubted it, there was no way to prove it.

Besides, Gu Mingke doesn't need to spend his whole life in the human world, and temporarily endure it for two years. After covering the greedy wolf and completing the tribulation, he can return to the heaven. No matter whether Li Chaoge harbors doubts or not, there is no hindrance to Gu Mingke.

Gu Ming Ke was just very sad. Didn't he think that he would reveal his identity in such a place. It wasn't a mistake in acting, nor was it a sudden danger, but a little girl's affair.

It's outrageous.

In the Town Demon Division, just as Li Chaoge sent Bai Qianhe away, the attendant from Miyagi came. When Li Chaoge heard the emperor's call, he stood up without saying a word, and asked as he walked out, "Why did the sage suddenly call for someone?"

"The servants don't know, it seems to be a matter of other states."

Li Chaoge responded, and then asked, "Who did the saint call?"

"In addition to the princess, there are Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment."

If Li Chaoge thought about it, he also went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. It seemed that it was a murder case. Which state has something happened that even alarmed the capital

Li Chaoge thought about it, and said casually, "I understand. I can go by myself. You can inform Dali Temple and them."

"All the ministers and ministers of Dali Temple have gone, and the slaves have just come out of Dali Temple."

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and glanced at the servant: "The same imperial decree, you should notify Dali Temple first, and then notify me last?"

The servant was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Li Chaoge to take such a place seriously. The servant stopped and tried to remedy: "Princess, please calm down. I am afraid that I will neglect the princess, so I made a special trip to guide the princess..."

Li Chaoge didn't want to hear it? He was talking nonsense, and she walked out of the demon town with a sullen face. Li Chaoge stood on the corridor and looked around, but there was no one in sight in front of him. Without saying a word, Li Chaoge lifted the hem of his clothes and hurried forward.

The servant chased after him and kept shouting, but Li Chaoge ignored them. Li Chaoge chased him all the way, almost in front of the Tongming Hall, and saw Gu Mingke's back.

Gu Mingke was about to go up the steps when he vaguely heard someone calling him from behind: "Gu Sicheng."

Gu Mingke turned his head and found that Li Chaoge quickly caught up from behind, overtook him, and rushed into the hall ahead of him.

Several people in Dali Temple were speechless together. The colleague quietly pulled Gu Ming Ke's sleeve and asked, "What is Lord Sheng Yuan doing?"

"I don't know." Gu Mingke sighed helplessly, continued to lift the hem of his clothes, and climbed up the stairs, "Maybe it's childish."

Li Chaoge rushed into the palace gate aggressively, the voice inside paused, everyone turned their heads, the emperor saw her, and asked in surprise, "Chaoge? What are you doing, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Chaoge didn't change his face, and said: "I want to relieve the saint's worries as soon as possible, but I couldn't hold back my impatience, so I ran here first."

Gu Mingke entered the door just in time to hear these words. He smiled very lightly, and raised his hand to salute the emperor and the prime ministers: "See saints, see ministers, ministers."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of Dali Temple and other big figures are already here, and it seems that they have discussed with the emperor for a while. After they almost discussed a solution, they asked someone to call the junior over. It is impossible for the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry and the dignified third-rank officials of Dali Temple to investigate the case in person. They must control the overall situation and then let the people below run errands.

Li Chaoge also bowed to the emperor, Minister of the Ministry of Justice and others. In front of the emperor, these ministers were very good-tempered, and asked them to stand up in a pleasant manner. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke stood up, and one of them got up behind the table next to the emperor, and said: "Gu Sicheng, Lord Sheng Yuan."

Li Chaoge pretended that he couldn't see, or Gu Ming? Ke advanced and retreated in a graceful manner: "Pei Zuo picked up things."

Pei Ji'an became an official at the beginning of this month, and Shi Brown made leftovers. Zuo Suyi is from the eighth grade, the grade is very small, but it is a beautiful job that even scholars would not envy. Without him, although Zuo Shiyi is a small official, he is noble and elegant, and he follows the emperor's side to worship and remonstrate, and the court discusses and appoints officials. The principles of officialdom have been the same since ancient times. The closer the position is to the emperor, the more important it is. Zuo Shiyi has both clear name and benefits. It is almost a direct path to promote the prime minister. As soon as Pei Ji'an entered an official position, he became an admonisher of the emperor. His starting point was so high that many people envied him.

Today it was Pei Ji'an's turn to be on duty. The emperor was discussing matters with his officials. He would record the conversation between the sage and his minister. If the sage asked a question, he could still share his own opinion. The job was very precious. Pei Ji'an is gentle and elegant, and has a good conversation. These days, he has been praised by many officials and ministers. In addition, Pei Ji'an still has the invisible identity of a son-in-law. Everyone knows that the road to Qingyun, the eldest son of the Pei family, is already under his feet.

People in the officialdom are very flattering to Pei Ji'an, even the female officials and servants in the palace have been courting Pei Ji'an many times. Pei Ji'an refused them one by one, and went about her own job in a steady manner. Seeing this, everyone liked him even more.

Pei Ji'an is always disadvantaged in the officialdom in the palace, except in front of Princess Sheng Yuan. Li Chaoge turned a blind eye to it. Fortunately, Gu Mingke followed the rules and gave Pei Ji'an a gift in accordance with the official etiquette, so that Pei Ji'an would not be embarrassed on the spot. After Pei Ji'an and Gu Ming Ke greeted each other, they took their seats.

The emperor said: "I called you here today because I have something important to discuss. There is an express report from Luzhou that the new governor has not been in office for a long time, and he died unexpectedly in the government office. This is already the third governor of Luzhou to die. It’s gone. The governor of Luzhou has frequent accidents, and Zhu Qing thinks, what’s going on?”

Li Chaoge's eyebrows twitched, Luzhou's assassins died one after another, and this is the third one

Luzhou is surrounded by mountains and rivers, adjacent to the Huaihe River and the river, and has always been a battleground for military strategists. Moreover, there are outstanding people in Luzhou. There are many sects in the rivers and lakes standing here, and the internal forces are extremely complicated. The officials in Luzhou died suddenly one after another, and Li Chaoge immediately smelled something unusual.

Li Chaoge didn't even think about it, and said, "Saint, there must be something about the sudden death of the governor of Luzhou? It's strange."

Almost at the same time that Li Chaoge spoke, Gu Mingke also spoke: "Anomalies are monsters, and there may be hidden secrets about the assassin's death."

When Li Chaoge heard that Gu Mingke was talking with her, his eyebrows twitched, and he refused to give in, so he bit the bullet and continued. However, Gu Mingke didn't stop, and the voices of the two rang out simultaneously.

"The three governors all died inexplicably, most likely caused by monsters. Please ask the saint to order to eliminate the monsters to show clarity."

"Three assassins have committed homicides one after another, and they may have been murdered by someone. Please order a thorough investigation from the sage to maintain justice."

After the two finished speaking, both of them were expressionless and serious. The emperor listened at the same time? Two people were talking, which one didn't listen too much? Clearly, I only remember that one said it was a monster and the other said it was man-made.

This... the emperor is in a dilemma. If it is caused by monsters, then it will be under the control of the Demon Lord, if it is a man-made murder, then it will be investigated by Dali Temple. Who is it

The emperor looked around and said, "I have discussed with the Minister of the Temple, and I don't think it is a coincidence. Besides, the three court officials died unexpectedly. It is out of reason and reason. The court will investigate and find out. I have no intentions with the public. Send envoys to Luzhou to investigate, who of you is willing to take orders?"

"My son is willing."

"I beg your orders."

Li Chaoge took a deep breath, and glanced at Gu Mingke with a smile: "Gu Sicheng, listen? It is said that Dali Temple is very expensive, and you also care about monsters?"

"I haven't seen the corpse or the scene. How did the commander know that it was a monster?" Gu Mingke said calmly, "Luzhou is located in a fortress and the situation is complicated. . Dali Temple upholds justice? Redressing injustices and justice, this kind of thing naturally falls under the management of Dali Temple.”

"Even if the local forces are in collusion, if they can murder three court officials in a row, there is no guarantee that they will not extend their claws to the imperial envoys of Dali Temple. Everyone in Dali Temple is the pillar of the imperial court. They have studied hard for many years and are selected from thousands of miles. , is a loss to the imperial court. On the contrary, the demon townspeople are thick-skinned and capable, and they are not afraid of Xiaoxiao's plotting. Luzhou is the right place for us to go."

Gu Ming Ke seemed to have a smile on his lips, and said unhurriedly: "Commander, the sage sent people to Luzhou to investigate the case, not to fight? The strength of those people is indeed good, but the investigation depends on brains, not strength?"

Gu Mingke was calm and composed, but the words in his mouth made people angry. Li Chaoge looked at Gu Ming Ke's beautiful side face, and tried hard to endure the urge to do something. Li Chaoge stared hard at Gu Ming Ke, suddenly smiled, and said: "Officials are judged by rank. I am a third rank. I am lucky to be Gu Sicheng's chief. Does Gu Sicheng want to fight with the chief?"

Gu Mingke paused for a rare moment, how could it be like this? Everyone competed fairly according to their strengths. Li Chaoge saw that he couldn't compete, so he moved out of his official position to suppress others. Thanks to her for being able to say it.

Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, the emperor hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Forget it, your worries are reasonable. The situation in Luzhou is unknown, and there are many sects lingering in the rivers and lakes. It may be dangerous to go rashly. Just right You have one civil and one military, one light
