Chapter 461 The Villain Who Abandoned His Family

With these two kinds of strong backing, the common people will have confidence in their hearts, but the common people in Changshou County gave him not such a feeling, but more of a kind of ignorance, because they don't know the fierce foreign enemy, so they are not afraid.

Looking at Gu Qingcheng's pensive expression, Luo Ming opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but Gu Qingyi noticed his movements and told him to just say it without worrying about the oil painting.

"If there is anything strange, I think the people in Changshou County are somewhat similar to the people in Jiangzhou City. They are all ignorant. It doesn't matter if they don't know anything in the city. Although life is normal, but But like a walking corpse, it has no thoughts of its own at all."

Luo Ming knew the temperament of Gu Qingcheng and Gu Qingyi. Although they were noble girls in the capital, they were as capable as anyone in the court, so he put aside the barriers in his heart and confessed his innermost thoughts.

Gu Qingcheng's eyes lit up. It's no wonder that when he passed by Changshou County before, he always felt a little inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't put it into words. After Luo Ming's on-demand broadcast, he realized it belatedly, so it was so.

Moreover, Jiangzhou was originally the place where Qin Taishi was, and Changshou County was the place where he stationed his private soldiers. In this way, it seems that there is nothing incomprehensible to use the same method to control the people in the city. The puzzle she opened actually made her meet in Changshou, this time she will not let it go so easily no matter what.

Gu Qingcheng's eyes darkened. She was really curious about what kind of method could forcibly hypnotize the people in the whole city...

In the imperial study room in the capital, Nangong Mo looked at the memorial in his hand without saying a word, while Laifu stood beside the desk with his head bowed, not daring to read the contents of the memorial, nor did he dare to speculate on Nangong Mo's mood at this time.

"Laifu, how far has Zhan Wang's marriage progressed?"

Lai Fu was taken aback, but he didn't expect the emperor to ask this question, but fortunately he has been with the emperor for many years, and he is not as stunned as Fu Lin, who answered leisurely.

"If you go back to the emperor, the Ministry of Rituals has already passed six miles. You can only wait for the imperial concubine to come back from Taishan, and then you can see the wedding date. However, the clan marriage is always not so fast, and it will probably be in the second half of next year."

Laifu answered seriously, Nangong Mo tapped his finger on the table, and Laifu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what he said was wrong, so he obediently stood aside, not daring to say anything.

"What happened to the King of War?"

"Back to the emperor, the imperial hospital sent people to go every day, but after the prince was injured, his temper was a little irritable, and he often drove the imperial doctor out, and advised him that being angry would hurt the body, which is not good for maintenance, but the prince is always not able to restrain himself. Temper, the imperial doctor went ten times, probably only saw one time, and no one was allowed to come close."

Laifu's attitude was cautious, and every sentence was on the point. It seemed to be the truth, but the words seemed to be demeaning. Sure enough, after hearing these words, Nangong Mo stopped tapping his fingers on the table. Once it's down, it's not so cold and scary to speak again.

"The emperor's brother is self-willed, but it's not incomprehensible. He was born as a marshal, and he can't bear to lie on the bed like a useless person. Ask the imperial doctors to take care of him carefully, and make sure that the King of War returns to his original state."

"Yes."

After saying Laifu, he bent down and exited the imperial study room. In the opposite direction to him, there was also a petite person dressed as an inner eunuch in the apse of the imperial study room. He left from a hidden corner and saw the oncoming imperial army. Huangmen turned sideways to get out of the way, and he left only after the imperial army had passed by.

Gu Qingcheng and his party settled down in Weicheng, not as leisurely as in Changning. They left early and returned late every day, just to thoroughly explore the range of troops stationed in Changshou County and its surrounding areas, as well as their relationship with Grand Master Qin.

After two days of investigation, except for Changshou County, the people guarding the city are normal, and they have different opinions on the garrison and the court, which is a good phenomenon anyway.

"Liaocheng, Yucheng, and Liangzhou are the three places closest to Changshou. If Changshou County is doing something, these three places must be the first to support, so today I focused on checking these three places, except for Liangzhou. , there is nothing unusual in the other two places."

Luo Ming pointed out these three places on the sand table, and finally marked a mark in Liangzhou. Looking at the ups and downs of the ridges in the sand table, Gu Qingcheng thought of something.

"I remember that Liangzhou's guard was originally from the Silver Armored Army, but because of something, he was replaced by the current guard, right? What's his name?"

Before leaving Beijing, Nangong Mo gave her the knowledge of the imperial court, including several sessions of Jinshi fellows, examiner mentors, in-laws and so on. In this bureaucratic society of Huanghuang power, the so-called mutual protection between officials and officials is like this, and there are always some cuts. The relationship is chaotic.

"Yes, Ran Dongyang, the former guard of Liangzhou, was the former captain of the Yinjia Army Guard. Later, because of his outstanding military achievements, he was recommended by the prince to serve as a guard in Liangzhou. However, he was found in a wrong place and kicked out in less than half a year. Well, speaking of it, he was negligent in doing things himself."

"The current guard, Xiao Cheng, was not born as a military commander at all. He was originally a descendant of the Xiao Clan's side branch. It's just that a few decades ago, due to some incidents, the entire Xiao Clan's family was ransacked and exterminated. A side branch of the fifth suit."

"Xiao Cheng was born as a Jinshi in the seventh year after Xiao's accident. He went to Yuezhou as an official with the governor of Yuezhou. He heard that his political achievements were good, so he became the guard of Liangzhou after Ran Dongyang."

Although it was just two simple sentences, Gu Qingcheng smelled something unusual. Gu Qingyi sat by the side and listened silently without interjecting. It was only when she heard Xiao Shi that her face changed, and she glanced at Gu Qingcheng.

"I know this. Back then, the Xiao family was one of the largest families in Daqing. It's just that the Xiao family has strict rules, and the family style and education are very good. I have never heard of his family being uneducated. He's a dandy, and the Xiao family keeps a low profile and never makes enemies with anyone."

"I have a good reputation among the aristocratic family, but I don't know who told Xiao Shoufu at the time, saying that he was corrupt and broke the law, and ignored human life. In the end, it was a stack of letters from the world that killed the Xiao family. Evidence of rebellion, so the huge Xiao family fell like this."

Gu Qingyi has lingering fears. This has happened decades ago, but every time Gu Qingcheng is mentioned, he feels that the ups and downs of the officialdom are dangerous. It is so difficult to maintain the original intention. Even people like Xiao Shoufu hide But backstabbing hurts.

"It's Xiao Shoufu's private letter. Only people who are close to him can get it, or only people who are trusted by Xiao Shoufu can get it."
