A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Back home, Gu Qing asked Fan Jian, "Is there any news about those Jiangnan businessmen?"

"Go home, there is still no news." Fan Jian replied,

"Send some things to these Jiangnan merchants." Gu Qing whispered, "Just send some preserved eggs from home, just a few per person."

"Let's do it now." Fan Jian nodded and left.

Li Zhi sat decadently in the yard, as if thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing sat beside him.

"The Yan family has already entered the academy, and I think that girl from the Yan family is quite guilty." Li Zhi said, "I want to compensate them, and I know that no matter how I compensate them, even though the emperor didn't make an order, how come Saying that this marriage has made their Yan family lose face."

Looking at the kind Li Zhi, Gu Qing said patiently, "Are they satisfied with their current life?"

"I don't know." Li Zhi said decadently.

"Do you still remember the multiple-choice question I said back then?" Gu Qing asked with a smile.

"Of course I remember." Li Zhi replied, "This question is still an unsolved question in the academy."

"Actually, this question is very simple, it just depends on how you choose." Gu Qing took two fruits from the side, "Sometimes we can choose one that looks delicious after all, but who knows what the other one looks like?" Whether the fruit is bad to eat or not is good to eat, how will His Royal Highness King Jin choose at this time."

"I don't know." Li Zhi looked confused.

"To put it another way, His Royal Highness King Jin gave them a retreat, and he has already made a choice. We will inevitably hurt some people in some things. As the saying goes, you can't have both good fish and bear's paw."

"That's not a common saying, it was said by the sage Mencius." Li Zhi retorted.

"People always have to grow up. Sometimes being too kind is not a good thing. His Royal Highness King Jin is just too kind." Gu Qing patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, "But that's okay, having experience is better than not having experience. .”

Leaving Li Zhi wandering alone, Wu Mei said while preparing meals, "Princess Gaoyang hasn't come back for quite a while since she entered Daming Palace these days, and I don't know how she is."

"Don't worry, there are so many people serving in the palace, it's no worse than at home." Gu Qing took out a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, "Besides, after Daming Palace still has her father and queen who can accompany her, Gao Yang has been going to the lake since There is also a lot of estrangement between Lou and her father, queen and queen, and she should be with her now."

Chapter 648 Trapping Hou Junji ([-])

Gu Qing was teasing and laughing with his youngest son in his arms, Sun Simiao came back with a basket of herbs, and Yang Sheng was scolding his daughter at the door of the house.

"Old Yang, come in and have a drink." Gu Qing greeted Yang Sheng.

"Okay!" Yang Sheng responded loudly.

Chang'an, Dali Temple acted very quickly, and the news immediately spread among the people. Tonight Di Renjie was sitting in Dali Temple watching the night and waiting for the news.

"My lord, it's getting late, you should rest first." The little official stepped forward and said.

Di Renjie took out a jug of wine, "Come and have a drink with me."

"Thank you Dali Temple Minister." The little official smiled and sat down, "Your Excellency is waiting so sure that Hou Junji will be caught tonight?"

"That depends on whether he is really on the edge of Chang'an. If he is really on the edge of Chang'an and we didn't find him after a round outside, then he has probably entered the city." Di Renjie said, "Looking at the night, it's going to rain. It's a good weather."

The patrolling soldiers of the leading army guards were patrolling the city of Chang'an at night, and saw a group of people standing in a street in Chang'an and asked suspiciously, "Who are they?"

"Dali Temple handles the case." Several Dali Temple officials took out tokens.

After the leading guard confirmed it, he left.

The rain fell in the patter of the night, and a figure flashed past.

"Who is it!" shouted the patrolling soldier.

The people from Dali Temple immediately caught up, and the chase began in the dark. A figure wearing a bamboo hat ran wildly in the streets, and many officers and soldiers from Dali Temple were knocked down along the way.

Di Renjie was drinking, when the rain-soaked clerk came back to report, "I found a suspicious person, the person behind him is fine, and I'm still chasing him."

The bet was right, Di Renjie put down his wine glass, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go get someone together."

On a rainy night, Hou Junji galloped all the way, stepping on his footsteps and splashing water, and ran to a hidden alley to catch his breath. Dali Temple had already laid an ambush. Looking at his mansion not far away, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded his home. Di Renjie is cheating!

The sound of footsteps came again, Hou Junji retreated step by step, turned around and ran in another direction while hiding in the darkness.

"Report to Dali Temple Minister, I lost it!"

"Don't worry." Di Renjie looked at the situation, "Scatter him, he won't be able to leave the city, don't sleep tonight, look for me from door to door, if you can't catch him this time, you won't have a chance next time."

"Yes!"

The crowd dispersed, and Di Renjie looked at the puddles under his feet in disgust. The rain washed all the traces away. In fact, he could catch Hou Junji's family members and threaten them. It's too early to be a last resort. Di Renjie didn't want to do that .

In Pen Studio, the fat monk was awakened from his sleep by shouts from outside, "What's wrong?"

"The Dali Temple is taking people. It is said that they have found traces of Hou Junji."

"Oh." The fat monk replied and fell back to sleep.

A scream suddenly sounded in the dark night, and the officers and soldiers of the nearby Dali Temple immediately surrounded them and broke in. Hou Junji was holding a dagger in his hand and was grabbing a child.

"Put down the knife!"

Hou Junji retreated step by step, "Don't come here!"

Di Renjie walked into it, and the officers and soldiers around were gathering.

"Hou Junji!" Di Renjie yelled, "Don't make the same mistake again and again! You still have time!"

Hou Junji sneered, "In time? Di Renjie, you are coaxing the children! As long as I put down the knife, I will be doomed, and my whole family will follow. Di Renjie, stop being hypocritical, get out of the way, and let me out."

The people in Dali Temple did not move at all.

The rain was getting heavier, Hou Junji shouted hysterically, "Get out of the way, don't force me!"

Di Renjie whispered, "Hou Junji, your charges have not yet been established, that is, the clan's residence has not yet settled the case. As long as you can enter Dali Temple to await trial, everything will be fine!"

"How easy is it to say!" Hou Junji said, "I won't trust anyone! Di Renjie, don't think that Li Chengqian will let you go for a long time. If he wants to deal with Gu Qing, Li Chengqian will definitely take you down, and you won't be complacent for long. .”

"Let him go!" Di Renjie stepped forward.

"Get out of the way." Hou Junji's voice was stern, and the knife in his hand was pressed against the child's neck, leaving some blood.

The child was crying, and the tears kept falling.

"Hou Junji, as long as you let go of the child, you can discuss everything." Di Renjie said, "I've already made a mistake, so let's rein in the precipice."

"You don't understand, you don't know how ruthless the emperor's family is." Hou Junji hissed at the top of his voice, "If I become the Minister of Dali Temple, all my family members will be imprisoned!"

"I beg His Majesty to let your family go. After all, you have made great contributions to the Supreme Emperor."
