A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Back at the academy, Gu Xiao saw that Fang Chengxian was drying some books.

Seeing Gu Xiao and Zhang Jiuling came back, Fang Cheng greeted first: "You guys finished it so soon?"

"It's just a few words." Gu Xiao helped Fang Cheng hang the books first, "Why did I suddenly remember to hang the books?"

"Books are precious. Since there is no class today, Sunshine is also thinking about reading books. These books are not read by students on weekdays. Most of them are ancient books. I think that if they are left for a long time, they will become damp. When spring comes There is a lot of rain in the two seasons of summer, and many places in the academy need to be cleaned well to avoid mold."

Gu Xiao looked up at the balcony of the academy, Fang Yizhi and Li Tai were basking in the sun leisurely, Fang Chengxian was already so busy that he was sweating and wanted to complain.

"Brother Fang, Gu Xiao, I have to say goodbye." Zhang Jiuling said.

"You're leaving so soon? Don't you want to take the imperial examination?" Fang Chengxian said in surprise.

"I want to go back to my hometown and have a look. The Central Plains is so big and I want to go to some places." Zhang Jiuling said with a smile: "I will come back. After I come back, I hope you will not forget my brother."

Chapter 86 Exploring Jiangnan

"How could I forget, when you come back, we will clean up the dust for you together." Gu Xiao patted Zhang Jiuling on the shoulder and said, "When my business grows, you can send me letters anytime you see the messenger. "

"Okay." Zhang Jiuling nodded, "Speaking of which, I have been very happy in the past few years in the academy. I have learned a lot and seen a lot in just a few years. For other insights, I want to use my current eyes to see what the world is like."

Fang Chengxian also said: "I'll arrange the things in your academy for you."

"No need." Zhang Jiuling said, "What should be taken away is in my mind."

Gu Xiao took out a few silver cakes and handed them to Zhang Jiuling, "I need to ask you to take them on the road."

"I have it here too." Fang Chengxian also took out some money.

Zhang Jiuling took Gu Xiao's silver cake but not Fang Chengxian's and said, "I should get Gu Xiao's share. I know Gu Xiao, you have a lot of money to spend now. My salary is more than that." I owe you two silver cakes, and I will ask you later."

"In the future, I will definitely give you the exact amount." Gu Xiao also said hastily.

"Okay." Zhang Jiuling nodded and said, "There's no need to send it away. I'll show off my ambitions in Chang'an when I come back."

"Well, I'm waiting for you." Gu Xiao said.

After Zhang Jiuling finished speaking, he turned around and left. Watching him leave Gu Xiao, he felt a little disappointed and said, "It's really a good idea to leave."

Fang Chengxian packed up his books and said: "He said a few days ago that he wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look. Maybe he was concerned about his relatives in his hometown. He also said He has learned a lot now, and he wants to settle down and go out and have a look."

"I'm a little envious of him." Gu Xiao said in a low voice.

"I also envy him a little bit." Fang Chengxian also said.

Gu family

Gu Qing was sitting at home, and Fan Jian came from outside the courtyard with a file and said, "Patriarch, the Xiao family and the Yuan family have already brought the list."

Gu Qing took the list and looked at it for a while. It was said that the list was more like a bill. It stated the money that the two families gave to the officials of the state government every year. It seemed that the amount of transactions was really quite a lot.

"I didn't expect them to send it so soon." Fan Jian said.

"It's not difficult for them."

The porter outside the door came back and reported, "The owner of the house has someone to see."

Gu Qing handed the file to Fan Jian and said, "Put it away."

"it is good."

Fan Jian put the file in the study, "Does the owner need to invite someone in?"

"No see." Gu Qing drank tea.

Fan Jian went to the door to spread the message, and came back after a while and said: "Patriarch, that person is the Minister of the Household Department."

"No see!" Gu Qing still said.

"Gu Qing! I know you're inside!" Cui Geng's voice came from outside, "If you don't see me, I'll bump my head to death in front of your house."

It was really shameless to swallow a sip of tea, Gu Qing thought about it and said, "Bring people in."

When Cui Geng entered the door and saw Gu Qing, he smiled and said, "Master Gu, long time no see."

"It's not like we just met two days ago, tell me I'm busy." Gu Qing said in a low voice.

"I just saw a person come to the door of Gu's house and left in a hurry." Cui asked more curiously.

"A person asking for directions." Gu Qing looked calm and composed.

"Really?" Cui Geng continued, "I clearly saw that person handing over something to your servants. Could it be that you, the Gu family, also want to get benefits from asking for directions?"

"Why not?" Gu Qing continued,

"That's true." Cui Geng nodded.

After quieting down, Gu Qing put down his teacup and looked at this guy sitting there humming a little tune, as if he didn't intend to leave.

"Why did you come to my house?" Gu Qing asked impatiently.

Cui Geng patted his forehead and said: "By the way, this time the central government will send some people to Chang'an, and our household department will also send people out. It is said that Gu Houye has dealt with people in Jiangnan, and I have to ask for advice on some things. some."

"I just invited someone for a meal. I really have nothing to explain." Gu Qing knew that this guy Cui Geng came to him for such a simple reason. Did this guy notice something? Said that he already knew the agreement between himself and the Jiangnan clan?

"May I go to Master Gu's study?" Cui Geng said.

"No." Gu Qing directly refused, "Fan Jian sees off the guests!"

"Wait!" Cui Geng said hastily: "I sincerely want to inquire about the matter in Jiangnan. The murder case just passed away a few days ago, and only a few people from the household department went to Jiangnan. If they can't come back, What can I do then, so I ask Gu Houye to remind me."

"Stay away from Xie's house, you can get closer to Xiao's family and Yuan's family. If you use these two families, your people will be able to enjoy themselves in the south of the Yangtze River. That's all I can say. It's better to leave." Gu Qing still said.

Cui Geng was kicked out of the house by Fan Jian, Gu Qing was sitting at home still thinking about the origin of Cui Geng, he seemed to know something about the affairs between himself and the Jiangnan clan, but he was not sure how much he knew.

Back in the study, Gu Qing opened the dossier sent by the Xiao family and the Yuan family. The list included the officials of the eleven prefectures in Jiangnan, covering almost the entire Jiangnan. It can be seen how much the clan and the officials in Jiangnan are connected. wide.

Li Chengqian wants to send people to Jiangnan to investigate, but he is afraid that this trip will not be easy. As long as there are enough interests, people can raise their butcher's knife to fight against Wang Fa. It is really hard to say what will be stepped on if the water in the south of the Yangtze River is deep. good.

Thinking in his heart, Gu Qing picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and handed it to Fan Jian after finishing writing, saying: "Give this letter to King Wu in Jiangdong."

"Yes." Fan Jian received the letter, "Master's letter delivery business has been very good recently, and this letter can be delivered to the master's people."

Gu Qing nodded and didn't say anything, but copied the list on the file. This list can be said to be the reliance of the Jiangnan clan. With this account book, almost all the officials in the entire Jiangnan can be uprooted and start to clean up. .
