Long Wind Crossing - Chapter 123
As soon as Gu Jiusi slept until dawn, there was a noisy voice outside, Gu Jiusi opened his eyes instantly, he raised his hand to cover Liu Yuru’s ears, Liu Yuru opened his eyes in a daze: ” what’s wrong?”
“You continue to sleep,” Gu Jiusi said gently and in a low voice, “Shen Ming is back, I’ll deal with something first.”
Liu Yuru felt relieved and answered vaguely, Gu Jiusi got up, put on a robe, and walked out. In the yard, Shen Ming brought Hu Zi and a group of people to fill the yard. A few people at the corner held torches to light up the yard. Seeing Gu Jiusi coming out, Shen Ming quickly said in a clear voice, “Ninth Brother…”
Gu Jiusi put a forefinger on his lips, Shen Ming froze, Gu Jiusi turned to look at the room, and whispered, “Your sister-in-law is still sleeping.”
Speaking, he walked out of the courtyard lightly, waved to the crowd, and said in a low voice, “Be quiet, don’t startle him.”
Gu Jiusi walked cautiously, tiptoe, and the others stopped
I didn’t know why I got nervous, followed behind, barely making any sound, and quickly followed Gu Jiusi out. When he was far away from the backyard, he arrived at the main hall. After Gu Jiusi sat down, Shen Ming stepped forward and said, “Ninth brother, it’s cleaned up.”
“No openings left?” Gu Jiusi frowned, Hu Zi said immediately, “Master, they didn’t leave openings for themselves, we deliberately left a few, and they all committed suicide.”
Gu Jiusi paused for tea, and after a while, he continued: “How many people have been cleaned up tonight?”
“Nearly five hundred killers.”
Shen Ming calmly said: “After they started, I immediately asked Lord Zhou for instructions, and Lord Zhou assigned people to me.”
Gu Jiusi nodded: “Where is the person who tipped off the prince?”
“I entered the Prince’s Mansion, but didn’t come out.”
Gu Jiusi did not speak, he held the tea, and after a while, said indifferently: “Luo Zishang is somewhat capable.”
This time Luo Zishang acted with complete disregard for Chen Maochun. Gu Jiusi sent someone to report the news to the prince. It is reasonable that the prince should have turned against Luo Zishang, but the prince directly The person was detained in the Prince’s Mansion, not necessarily even killing him. It seemed that he planned to save Luo Zishang.
It was not yet dawn, Gu Jiusi looked at the sky, and continued: “Is Chen Maochun’s book ready?”
“Brother Shi’an is ready.”
Shen Ming immediately said: “Tomorrow, the Censor’s Desk will come forward to play Chen Maochun. Brother Shi’an said to reassure you, he will do the rest.”
Gu Jiusi nodded, if the prince wanted to protect Luo Zishang, this time they didn’t catch any evidence of Luo Zishang’s actions, then Luo Zishang still couldn’t move. But it can be considered to have cleaned up all Luo Zishang’s people in the Eastern Capital. In a short period of time, it is difficult for Luo Zishang to make major moves.
This time, Gu Jiusi has the upper hand.
The removal of Chen Maochun is equivalent to the removal of the rare nail in the prince’s military power and the removal of Luozishang’s minions, which also means that at least along the Yellow River, Luozishang is more difficult Planning a second assassination.
Although the prince is a Paul son merchant, he has always planted the seeds of doubt.
Gu Jiusi closed his eyes, and after going through today’s events in his mind, he finally said, “Okay,” Gu Jiusi opened his eyes, looked at the people around him, smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work. “
“It’s not hard work,” Hu Zi laughed, “following Jiuye, you have a bright future.”
Gu Jiusi smiled, he beckoned with Mu Nan next to him, Mu Nan asked people to carry two dozen red envelopes, Gu Jiusi handed out the red envelopes to the people present one by one, and said with a smile: ” Get a red envelope, go back to take a shower, and get a good night’s sleep.”
Everyone didn’t expect to receive the red envelope, and they couldn’t help but feel a little happy after getting it, thanking Gu Jiusi repeatedly, Gu Jiusi waved his hand and let everyone down, then turned his head to the tiger standing beside him Zidao: “I’m going on a tour of the East, and the Gu Mansion will be taken care of by you. You can take care of it. If anything happens, you can find my uncle, Lord Jiang Hejiang, the minister of the household, and let him arrange everything.”
“Yes.” Hu Zi replied, Gu Jiusi nodded, and let Hu Zi go back to sleep first. After Hu Zi left, Gu Jiusi asked the servants to go out first, leaving Shen Ming and Gu Jiusi in the room , Shen Ming slowly recovered from the excitement brought by the fight just now, and saw Gu Jiusi sitting in his seat.
Shen Ming suddenly shuddered, he reacted suddenly, he pursed his lips, released his sword, and knelt down in front of Gu Jiusi.
“I neglected my duty today,” he said in a muffled voice, “I didn’t like the young lady, you punish me.”
He used “young madam” and “you” to show his identity with Gu Jiusi at this moment. Even if they are brothers on weekdays, they are still the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Gu Jiusi listened, took a sip of tea, looked at the yard outside, and said slowly, “How did you lose it?”
Shen Ming did not speak, and lowered his head.
“Speak.”
“Master Ye can’t protect Miss Ye,” Shen Ming took a deep breath and finally said, “I’m in a hurry…”
Gu Jiusi got this, he turned to look at him, Shen Ming didn’t dare to meet his eyes, he felt at a loss for this matter, and Gu Jiusi stared at him for a long time, he finally Said: “Shen Ming, everyone has their own responsibility for what position they are in.”
“You know what’s wrong!”
Shen Ming kowtowed on the ground, closed his eyes and said, “Ninth brother, you can punish me no matter what! Even if you kill me today, I think it should be.”
Gu Jiu fixedly looked at him.
It would be a lie to say that he is not angry, but he looked indifferent, but in his heart he was more rational than anyone else. He fixedly looked at Shen Ming, and after a long time, he got up, took Shen Ming’s scabbard from the side, and handed it to him.
Shen Ming didn’t know why, Gu Jiusi stepped forward and knelt on the ground, the moonlight fell in front of the gate, Gu Jiusi took off his robe and neatly folded it on one side, he was wearing a white single coat with his back to Shen Ming, said with Shen Ming, “You called me Ninth Brother, I am your elder brother, if you did something wrong, I have to carry it for you, the scabbard is in your hand, hit the back three times, you will do it.”
“Nine brothers!”
Shen Ming was so frightened, he hurriedly walked in front of Gu Jiusi and said in a trembling voice, “You beat me, I suffer.”
“If you don’t do it today, then I can’t control you. You don’t need to come back when you go out, and you don’t need to call me Ninth Brother.”
Gu Jiusi’s voice was calm, Shen Ming was stunned, he looked at Gu Jiusi, and felt extremely uncomfortable, he whispered: “Ninth brother, you are like this, it’s much more uncomfortable than hitting me.”
“I can’t hit you,” Gu Jiusi said calmly, “I understand what you’ve done. In your heart, Ye Yun is too important. You can’t ignore her when you see her in danger. It’s normal. I shouldn’t have put Ye Yun and Yuru together for you to choose. This is because of my lack of thought and forcing you to do the wrong thing.”
“I don’t put you in a desperate situation, and then I will punish you after watching you do something wrong. So this is my fault, and you should punish you.”
Speaking, Gu Jiusi lowered his head and said coldly, “Go to court soon, fight.”
Shen Ming lifted the scabbard and patted Gu Jiusi’s back lightly, Gu Jiusi looked up at him: “If you can’t let go, just keep hitting.”
“Ninth brother,” Shen Ming trembled, “you are forcing me.”
Gu Jiusi looked at him quietly, Shen Ming finally took a deep breath, grabbed the scabbard, and beat him down.
Every muffled sound seemed to hit his heart, making his whole heart tremble with pain.
When the fight was over, he threw the scabbard and went out with red eyes. Gu Jiusi stopped him: “Stop.”
Shen Ming turned his back to him, gritted his teeth and did not speak, Gu Jiusi stood up with himself, and said to him: “I’ll have someone prepare a box of rouge for you later, go to the leaves before leaving Mansion, send it to Ye Yun.”
“No.”
“It’s ok if you don’t go,” Gu Jiusi picked up his robe and put it on his body, and walked out, “Think clearly for yourself, this time you go to the Yellow River, it may be half a year, Ye Yun also She is almost 20 years old, and I only heard from him when I chatted with Shi An last time that the Ye family plans to find a marriage for her.”
“In such a hurry?!”
Shen Ming exclaimed in surprise, Gu Jiusi stopped at the door, turned to look at him, and raised the corners of his mouth: “Shen Ming, men can’t always let women wait, she is so young, why should she wait for you? “
Shen Ming was stunned for a while, but Gu Jiusi didn’t say much, and turned back to the room.
If the color started to be bright today, Gu Jiusi put on a robe and went in, and saw that Liu Yuru had already got up. She saw Gu Jiusi entering the door, smiled and said: “Can you wash up?”
“Not yet?”
Gu Jiusi saw Liu Yuru, and the smile on his face softened. He wiped his face with a handkerchief from the side, rinsed his mouth and tied the crown, and put on his official robe. He fastened his belt and said in a calm voice, “I have done too much last night. Today, I have to restrain myself. Don’t be too aggressive in the courtroom.”
“Don’t worry,” Gu Jiusi smiled, “I have a sense of proportion. You pack your things at home, I’ll be back next morning, and I may have to leave.”
“Hmm.” Liu Yuru whispered, “I have already made arrangements, and I can set off when I come back.”
“I’m relieved to have you in charge of these matters.” Gu Jiusi bowed his head and kissed her, then said, “I’ll leave now.”
Gu Jiusi went out, but the prince’s mansion was still in a mess. Fan Yu was pacing in the main hall, and the spies came in one after another, put down the latest news, and let the attendant next to him read it to Fan Yu. Luo Zishang sat on the edge, drinking tea quietly.
“Gu Jiusi is Zhou Gaolang’s dog!”
Fan Yu paced back and forth, while scolding in a low voice: “Bengong saw that he was not a good thing when he was in Yangzhou, he had no respect and etiquette, and he was in a mess with Zhou Ye. My father is the only emperor, they don’t help me well, and now they are still thinking about people like me, what do they mean? Are they trying to rebel?”
Luo Zishang was blowing the tea leaves and said slowly: “Your Highness, since Gu Jiusi has made his move, he will not leave any flaws. Your Highness might as well think about it, what should we do next? Early in the morning, Zhou Gaolang said The people on the side are bound to attack General Chen, how does His Highness plan to deal with it?”
Fan Yu stopped, hesitant, looked up at Luo Zishang, he said slowly: “Teacher thinks, what should I do?”
“Your Highness, Lord Chen’s position is probably not going to be preserved.” Luo Zishang sighed, “In such a grand event, there is such a big chaos in the place where Lord Chen is in charge, not only people are kidnapped in the street. , the most important thing is to assassinate the Minister of the Household, although Gu Jiusi did not have an accident, but this is already a major event.”
“What should I do then?” Fan Yu frowned, Luo Zishang lowered his head and said, “Now we can only advance by retreating and win your Majesty’s sympathy.”
“Backward?”
Fan Yu didn’t understand, Luo Zishang knocked on the palm of his hand, he glanced at Chen Maochun who was a little nervous beside him: “Wait a while, Master Chen took off his clothes, carried a thorn on his back, and stopped him on the way. Gu Jiusi apologizes.”
Apologize.
“I’m afraid this is not so good, right?”
Fan Yu frowned.
“Master Chen go first,” Luo Zishang looked at Chen Maochun and urged, “Otherwise, I’m afraid it will be too late, so I must stop on the street.”
Chen Maochun nodded and hurried out. After Chen Maochun went out, Luo Zishang continued: “Master Chen may have to retire from the position of the leader of the Nancheng Army temporarily. Does His Highness have a candidate to replace him?”
This question stopped Fan Yu, he frowned and said, “Is it impossible to keep it?”
“Your Majesty, I am afraid that Your Majesty will dislike the Prince.”
Fan Yu was silent for a moment, and finally said: “There are some people in Gu’s hand, but Maochun has given up, and Zhou Gaolang will definitely choose others to come up, I’m afraid there are none of these people in my hand. If it is so suitable, even if you are willing to recommend it, you will not be able to push it up.”
Luo Zishang hesitated for a moment, then said, “Then Wei Chen recommends someone to His Highness?”
“Come on.” Fan Yu said immediately, Luo Zishang smiled: “The captain of the thirteenth team of Nancheng Army, Xiong Ying.”
“This is yours?” Fan Yu was stunned, Luo Zishang shook his head, “No, he is not from anyone. But there is a good thing, his father Xiong Sijie was arrested by Jiang He. The person who participated in the beheading. Jiang He is Gu Jiusi’s uncle, and Gu Jiusi is Zhou Gaolang’s man, so even though he is not from us, we can push him up and take him under his command.”
Having these words, Fan Yu immediately gave a high-five and said, “Okay. In the morning, I will let someone recommend him!”
The prince had a good discussion here, Gu Jiusi and Shen Ming sat in the carriage, Gu Jiusi rested with his eyes closed, and the carriage stopped halfway through. Gu Jiusi opened his eyes, a little dazed: “Arrived?”
Shen Ming lifted the curtain, looked outside, and then said to Gu Jiusi, “Brother Jiu, there is a man kneeling on the road outside without clothes on his back.”
Hearing this, Gu Jiusi’s face changed greatly, he was silent for a moment, grabbed Shen Ming and said, “You rush out and carry him away.”
“Carry… carry it away?” Shen Ming was a little confused, Gu Jiusi nodded.
“Hurry up, no matter what method you use, don’t let me see him, and don’t let him speak!”
As soon as Gu Jiusi pushed Shen Ming, Shen Ming staggered and rushed out.
When Chen Maochun saw someone coming out, he immediately raised his head and said, “Gu…”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a foot fall from the sky, kicked him in the face, and stunned him directly. Then, before Chen Maochun could react, he was grabbed by a blue-robed official, carried on his shoulders, and ran away all the way.
All of this happened very quickly, Gu Jiusi listened to no movement outside, put his head out cautiously, and asked Mu Nan, who was driving the horse: “Go?”
Mu Nan looked complicated and nodded: “Take it away.”
