Liu Yuru was stunned when she heard this.

    Gu Jiusi helped her to get up and said gently: "Don't be stupid, look, you are covered with mud on your body. I will accompany you back and wash your body. already."

    Speaking, he helped Liu Yuru to get into the carriage. Before getting on the carriage, Gu Jiusi turned around and saw Luo Zishang sitting in the carriage, watching them quietly.

    Seeing Gu Jiusi turn around, Luo Zishang nodded towards them and said nothing more.

    Gu Jiusi raised his hand, but said respectfully, "Thank you."

    After he finished speaking, he got into the carriage. He didn't sit down, so he sat on the ground, put his hands on the position, rested his chin on his hands, looked up at Liu Yuru and said, "Yuru, I found that you really like to cry."

    Liu Yuru wiped her eyes, gave him a look of anger and anger, and reprimanded: "Get up, don't sit on the ground."

    "Don't get the cushion dirty."

    Gu Jiusi smiled a little silly: "The chairs on the ground are all the same, and I think you look better when I look at you this way. What is this called, bow down under your pomegranate skirt?"

    Liu Yuru knew that he was teasing her, she looked at him quietly, sighed, she raised her hand, attached his face, and said softly, "I'm really afraid of you."

    "I know." Gu Jiusi raised his hand to cover hers, "I'll take care of it, don't worry."

    Liu Yuru didn't say much, the two went back together, Gu Jiusi went to take a bath.

    I didn't feel it on the carriage before, but now I'm completely relaxed, Gu Jiusi suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of tiredness welling up, and felt a little pain all over his body.

    He was injured and washed the tub into blood. He washed it hastily, then got up and walked out. As soon as he put on a single shirt, the blood came out. Liu Yuru scolded in a low voice, "Nonsense!"

    I hurriedly asked for a doctor, and then sat on the side and gave him medicine.

    "Why don't you tell me if you're injured?"

    Liu Yuru said dissatisfiedly: "Going to take a bath? Aren't you afraid of wound infection?"

     

    Liu Yuru raised her eyes and stared at him, just as she was about to say something, Shen Ming walked in. He came in a hurry, came in and said loudly: "Ninth brother, something happened..."

    Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Yuru sitting on the side, Shen Ming hesitated for a moment, Liu Yuru tied the gauze and said directly: "Speak."

    Shen Ming glanced at Gu Jiusi, and after confirming that there was no problem, finally said, "Ninth brother, there is no one left."

    "What do you mean by gone?" Gu Jiusi frowned, Shen Ming quickly explained, "On the way back, a few people broke free from the chains and ran away. When people ran away, they became chaotic and then came out. Another group of killers robbed the killer we detained."

    "Not one left?"

    Gu Jiusi was a little surprised, Shen Ming shook his head: "The remaining one will be shot in the street."

    Gu Jiusi did not speak, Liu Yuru was slightly dissatisfied, and immediately said: "How can a few people, who are not Hercules, break free from the iron chain and run away? Obviously someone deliberately indulges, what about those yamen servants? ?"

    "It has been dealt with." Shen Ming said immediately, "Master Fu said they were negligent and let them go."

    "That's it?!"

    Liu Yuru was a little shocked, Gu Jiusi responded: "There is no solid evidence to prove that they let them go, that's all."

    "Why don't you check it out?!"

    Liu Yuru stood up and asked incredulously, "Fu Baoyuan didn't pay attention?"

    "He said he checked."

    Shen Ming's face was cold, Gu Jiusi chuckled: "These are all their people, what is there to investigate?"

    Liu Yuru didn't speak anymore, she clenched her fists, Gu Jiusi patted his hand, and said to Shen Ming: "Send a letter to your majesty, and ask him to prepare an army in Sizhou, always ready, Xingyang is afraid of chaos."

    As soon as I finished speaking, there were footsteps of many people outside. Gu Jiusi was a little puzzled. He glanced at Shen Ming and asked the person with his eyes. Shen Ming was also puzzled, but it didn't take long before he heard Wang Siyuan's voice: "Master Gu!"

    Gu Jiusi frowned, then saw Wang Siyuan walk in, and said with some emotion: "Master Gu, I heard that you were assassinated, I came here to see, are you alright?"

    "It's fine."

    Gu Jiusi smiled: "The news of Mr. Wang is very fast."

    Wang Siyuan sighed: "Ben was on his way here too. I didn't expect to hear the news of your assassination before anyone saw it."

    Gu Jiusi couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "I wonder what the Lord Wang is looking for?"

    "Master Gu," Wang Siyuan sighed and said slowly, "You have been involved!"

    Gu Jiusi raised his head abruptly when he heard this, Wang Siyuan laughed and said: "But it's fortunate, Lord Jiang is fighting against the heroes in the courtroom, trying to protect Lord, Your Majesty has nothing to do with Lord Gu, But I still feel that Master Gu is too rampant in Xingyang, so I decided to transfer Master Shen away from Xingyang."

    Shen Ming heard the last sentence, his face suddenly became angry, he was about to speak, he glanced at Gu Jiusi, Shen Ming froze, Gu Jiusi turned back, With a smile: "Jiusi I don't know, who is involved in what?"

    "Ah, don't Master Gu know?" Wang Siyuan pretended to be surprised, and then said, "Yes, I just received the news today. , meeting with businessmen, bullying local officials, and participating in Lord Shen to beat officials and people, you talk about this Qin Nan," Wang Siyuan said with a 'tsk tsk', "It's just something out of nothing, where is it?"

    Gu Jiusi was a little surprised when he heard Qin Nan's name.

    He thought that the first Xingyang official who would go to the court to visit him should be Wang Siyuan or Fu Baoyuan, but he didn't expect it to be Qin Nan who looked the most upright?

    Qin Nan is also with Wang Siyuan?

    Or is Qin Nan the biggest corrupt official in Xingyang?

    Gu Jiusi was a little confused for a while, but he did not understand, even if Qin Nan participated in him, there was no real evidence, why did the emperor really decide to punish him and choose to transfer Shen Ming from Xingyang ?

    He couldn't understand and felt a little headache. Wang Siyuan looked at him and said with concern: "What's wrong with Mr. Gu?"

    Gu Jiusi shook his head, raised his hand and said, "It's okay, thank you Mr. Wang for letting me know. What position will Shen Ming hold after he leaves Xingyang? But back to the East Capital?"

    "Yeah." Wang Siyuan smiled, "Returning to the East to continue to serve is actually not a punishment, right?"

    Gu Jiusi smiled: "Indeed."

    Wang Siyuan looked at Gu Jiusi, saw Gu Jiusi's face weak, stood up and said: "Forget it, Master Gu is not feeling well today, I won't disturb him, Master Gu has a good rest."

    Gu Jiusi bowed and asked Mu Nan to send Wang Siyuan away.

    Wang Siyuan was sent to the door, he got into the carriage, looked back at Gu Jiusi, and sneered: "Qin Nan, you are beyond your own power."

    After he finished speaking, he called someone over and muttered a few words in his ear.

    As soon as Wang Siyuan left, Shen Ming immediately said, "I'm going out to relax."

    "Stop!"

    Gu Jiusi shouted angrily: "What are you going to do."

    "I'm free!"

    Shen Ming rushed out after he finished speaking. Gu Jiusi was about to say something when he coughed quickly. Shen Ming took this opportunity to run all the way out, and when Gu Jiusi finished coughing, he leaned on the bedside to slow down After a while, he finally said, "Go have someone chase him back. He must have gone to Qin Nan."

    Liu Yuru hurriedly ordered someone to go out to find Shen Ming, then she turned around, stood beside Gu Jiusi, held his hand and said, "Do you have a high fever? Why do I think you have a little bit of a fever? hot?"

    "Maybe."

    Gu Jiusi was lying on the bed, eyes closed, and said to Liu Yuru: "Don't worry, Shen Ming will let people watch and don't run around. I'll sleep first. Your Majesty's will has arrived, and it's time for my uncle to reply. I'll make plans when my uncle's letter arrives."

    Liu Yuru responded, Gu Jiusi held her hand and whispered, "Yuru, I'm sleepy."

    "Sleep if you're sleepy." Liu Yuru said gently, "I'm here."

    Gu Jiusi did not speak, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes. Liu Yuru watched his breathing calm down, then let go of his hand, put his hand under the quilt, and put an ice pack on him, then summoned Yinhong and Mu Nan, and said with Yinhong, "Notify Dongdu that The people on the side, send all the dark guards I trained to Xingyang."

    Yin Hong responded with a yes. Liu Yuru then said with Mu Nan, "There should be a second wave of assassinations at night, so be prepared, don't let anyone take advantage of it."

    Mu Nan was stunned for a while, then responded and said, "Yes, ma'am."

    After Liu Yuru finished her instructions, she took a knife and put it beside Gu Jiusi, then took the account again, and asked someone to set a small table over, taking care of Gu Jiusi while calculating her account .

    When Liu Yuru was guarding Gu Jiusi, Shen Ming left him and went to Qin Nan.

    Qin Nan just came back from the government office, his sedan chair appeared far away in Shen Ming's field of vision, he couldn't rob Qin Nan in a crowded place, he was not stupid enough, so he He was lying in ambush in a small alley that Qin Nan must pass every day. He was lying on the roof of the roof, waiting for Qin Nan to enter the alley, but just as Qin Nan's sedan chair entered the alley, he heard Qin Nan suddenly say, "Hold on."

    The bearer stopped, Shen Ming was a little puzzled, why did this Qin Nan stop? However, after listening for a while, Qin Nan said, "Is there no sound?"

    Shen Ming didn't quite understand what Qin Nan was asking, but Qin Nan suddenly said, "Let's go."

    Those bearers were extremely smart, and immediately turned around and changed their path. Shen Ming was stunned. It flew towards the sedan chair like crazy. The bearer shouted, "My lord!"

    As soon as the feather arrow stopped, several men in black rushed out of the alley and rushed towards Qin Nan's sedan chair.

    Qin Nan's bearer was not an ordinary person. When the killer rushed over, the bearer immediately drew a knife from under the litter, but the man in black came too fast, the litter was directly kicked over, and the litter turned over. Moments before he arrived, the bearer grabbed Qin Nan, pushed him aside, and said loudly, "Let's go, sir!"

    Qin Nan ran wildly in the opposite direction, two killers charged over with knives, and saw that they were about to slash Qin Nan. , clapped his hands and said, "I will give you a chance to run, three, two..."

    The killer looked at each other, they obviously knew Shen Ming, when the "two" sounded, they turned around and ran away, Shen Ming immediately wanted to chase, but Qin Nan grabbed him by the sleeve, Whispered: "Be careful of ambush, stop chasing."

    Hearing Qin Nan's voice, Shen Ming remembered his intention, he grabbed Qin Nan's collar by the neck, pressed him against the wall, approached him and said, "Hey You are immortal, and you still learn what kind of political struggles you have at your age? You want to make you engage with other corrupt officials, you come to me? You say I beat the officials and oppress the people? Do you believe me? Kill you?"

    Before he finished speaking, Qin Nan's face turned pale, he pushed Shen Ming and said, "You...you go..."

    "I'm going?" Shen Ming smiled, "I came here to find you today, and let me go? I'm not, I'm..."

    Before he finished speaking, Qin Nan spit blood out of his mouth, spraying Shen Ming's face. Shen Ming was stunned on the spot, and when Qin Nan tilted his head, he passed out.

    Shen Ming stared blankly at Qin Nan, but before he could react, he heard an exclamation from the side: "Master Qin!"

    "You thief let go of Lord Qin!"

    "What did you do to Master Qin!"

    "That..." Shen Ming was too flustered to touch his face, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't hit him."

    "You go to see the official with me."

& nbsp; Your family!"

    "Wait, this really has nothing to do with me."

    Shen Ming hurriedly said: "Save people first, hurry up, save people first. You've all been beaten to death, right? I'll come, I'll take the back, and I'll atone for your sins, okay?"

    Speaking, under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, Shen Ming carried Qin Nan up and hurried to the nearest medical clinic.

    As he ran, he wondered, what the **** did he do? This ginseng is no problem, he saved someone and was sprayed with blood, and now he has to go to the doctor behind his back? ?

    He is the best man in the world.

    On the way Qin Nan was sent to the hospital, Ye Yun also just received a letter from Xingyang, which is thousands of miles away.

    Shen Mingda began to write to her since he left Dongdu. His words were ugly, like a dog crawling, and he was talking about trivial matters. Ye Yun rarely replied to letters, and almost burned after seeing it.

    Before the messenger came in from the main entrance, Jiang He and Ye Qingwen were playing a game in the mansion, with Ye Shian waiting by the side.

      In the absence of Gu Jiusi, he participated in the performance.

    Everyone can't tell, how many of these people who follow along are uncomfortable watching Gu Jiusi, how many are instructed by the prince, and how many are bribed by local officials in Xingyang.

    Fan Xuan wanted to protect Gu Jiusi, but there were too many people participating in the performance, so he had to make some appearances. In the end, Jiang He suggested that Gu Jiusi was still repairing the Yellow River, and he would talk when he came back. But Gu Jiusi was kept, but Shen Ming couldn't keep it, and Fan Xuan didn't want to worry about the fate of a sixth-rank petty official, so he followed the courtier's wishes and brought Shen Ming back to listen to the training.

    "Your Majesty doesn't understand what they mean, but you and I do."

    Ye Qingwen said indifferently: "Shen Ming is a knife of Master Gu. He took away Master Gu's knife. He wants to start, and he doesn't even have a self-defense."

    Speaking, Ye Qingwen did not understand: "You just let Shen Ming come back?"

    Jiang He couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Brother Ye really thinks I'm an immortal with all hands reaching the sky? Your Majesty wants Shen Ming to come back, what can I do?"

    "If you can find a way, you can."

    Ye Qingwen spoke directly, Jiang He let out a "ha", he propped his chin, dropped his chess piece, thought for a moment, but said, "Don't worry, Jiusi is a smart boy."

    Ye Qingwen glanced at him and wanted to say more, when they heard footsteps outside, the three looked up, and saw the messenger hurriedly walking towards Ye Yun's house, Jiang He picked He raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is this messenger from?"

    Ye Qingwen looked up at the messenger, then said, "Xingyang."

    "Oh." Jiang He nodded and said clearly, "That should be my niece's daughter-in-law."

    "You seem very concerned about my niece?"

    Ye Qingwen lowered her head and looked at the chessboard. Ye Shian glanced at Jiang He without a trace, Jiang He was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "Which girl am I not paying attention to?"

    Ye Qingwen didn't speak, he fell, and after a while, he took a sip of tea and said with Ye Shian: "Shi'an, change Yushan Chunjian."

    Ye Shian realized that Ye Qingwen had something to say to Jiang He alone, so he got up and left. After Ye Shian left, Ye Qingwen looked at Jiang Heluozi, and said slowly: "I won't say much, my niece is almost twenty. You should know more about Yangzhou. I still hope she If I can find a good place, she is the girl of my Ye family. I don't want her to agree to a family because of her past. Although she has flaws, her looks are all there, and you are getting older..."

    "What nonsense," Jiang He glared at Ye Qingwen, "Why am I getting old? Did you say that?"

    Ye Qingwen was choked, and continued: "I'm just a few years older than you, and now my son is twenty-two, Wanshu, you can't always be like this."

    Jiang He didn't say anything, he looked at the chessboard, picked up the teacup, and took a sip: "Actually, I think this little girl Ye Yun is good in everything, except for one thing," said Then, Jiang He raised his eyes to look at Ye Qingwen, with a bit of pity in his smiling eyes, "Born in your Ye family."

    Ye Qingwen frowned, Jiang He sighed: "Brother Ye, I may be offended by what I said, but since you mentioned this to me today, I have to say it."

    "Ye Yun is still young," Jiang He looked at Ye Qingwen, earnestly, "It's not her fault what happened in the past, not to mention that she was involuntarily, even if it was voluntary, I feel that a woman Why is it wrong to pursue a relationship? Since it's not wrong, she didn't do anything wrong, why punish her?"

    "No one punishes her." Ye Qingwen frowned and opened her mouth to retort, but before she could say anything, Jiang He raised his hand and made a "stop" gesture, and said directly, "You don't need to say more. , are you punishing her, I have a judgment in my heart. If you don't think she did something wrong, she is a good girl with good looks, less than 20 years, and born in a scholarly family, why did she come to be with me when she is almost four The old man of ten said kiss?"

    "You..."

    "I know that I am good-looking, rich, smart, and funny, and my position in the imperial court is on par with your family's, and I have a nephew who is even better. I am in good condition. , but there is no serious lady who will take the initiative to come to the same prostitute who is nearly forty years old and still lingers in the flowers, and has a relationship with a singer who has a daughter. No matter how good he is. It's about me. , you told Ye Yun, right?"

    Ye Qingwen didn't say anything, it was regarded as acquiescence, Jiang He thought for a while, then smiled sarcastically: "Tell her about you, when something happened to her, you don't want to tell her that life can be better, I don't want her to live an upright life, but instead tell her that people like me are her best destination. It's absurd. If she didn't encounter anything, you would treat her like this? Since you think she did nothing wrong, you Why do you do this to her?"

    Ye Qingwen lowered her eyes, looked at the tea soup in front of her, Jiang He sighed: "Brother Ye, if she is my child, I will tell her that she is right, not only is she right A child who can protect his father and brother and his enemies in such a chaotic situation at the time, and finally save his brother and friends with his own hands, is so courageous and worthy of praise. A girl like her is worthy of being liked, she wanted to marry back then What kind of man he is, he should be better now."

    "Wanshu..." Ye Qingwen said bitterly, "There are too few people who can think like you."

    "So what?"

    Jiang He waved his fan: "Since you want to find a good man, naturally there are few. If it's not good, what are you going to do when you get married? Can't your Ye family be able to support a girl?"

    Ye Qingwen didn't speak anymore, Jiang He thought about it, and seemed to think it was too much, he coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Forget it, don't want this, you and I are friends, want to coax me Relegation, don't even think about it."

    The two were talking when Ye Shian's voice came: "Uncle, it's time to drink the medicine."

    Ye Qingwen raised her head, nodded, and said with Jiang He: "I'm sorry, let's go here for today's chess game, and leave first, I'll let Shi'an see you off."

    "No need, I know the way."

    Jiang He waved his hands and said, "I'll go by myself after drinking this cup of tea."

     Ye Qingwen responded, got up and led Ye Shian away. When Ye Shian was far away, Jiang He said, "Come out."

    There was no movement next to her, Jiang He looked in one direction and smiled, "You can't even hear a little girl hiding from me. You look down on me too much."

    After hearing this, Ye Yun walked out slowly from the corner.

    Jiang He calmly took the cup from the side, put it on the edge of the chess table, raised his hand and said, "Sit down."

    Ye Yun didn't say anything, she came to Jiang He in a good manner, and Jiang He poured tea for her.

    Ye Yun looked calm, Jiang He raised her chin: "Your uncle hasn't finished yet, come on."

    Ye Yun responded and raised her hand.

    The two did not speak, only the pieces fell.

    Jiang He has a sophisticated chess style and seems to be disorganized. Compared to Jiang He, although Ye Yun's chess style is calm, she is much more naive.

    Seeing that the chessboard was getting fewer and fewer, Ye Yun finally said, "My mother once told me when I was young that the most important thing in getting married is to be fit."

    Jiang He didn't speak, Ye Yun said slowly: "Actually, even if there is no love between me and the adults, we can be husband and wife forever. The Ye family and the Gu family are united, that would be the best alliance."

    Jiang He paused for a moment, and after a while, he thought about it, finally raised his head, looked at Ye Yun, and said slowly, "You little girl, don't think about forming an alliance at this age. If you really have this idea, remember my words."

    Jiang He approached her with a serious look: "The strongest covenant in this world is the alignment of interests. Besides, any marriage vow is vulnerable."
