Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

So, he turned around and went to another room in the yard.

It is the room where the old lady rests, and it is also the place where his son Xiao Guoye stays.The little guy is now with grandma, and is accompanied by several old mothers and the old lady day and night.

Since the child was born, Guo Ye hasn't spent a night with his son in a serious way, and hasn't taken good care of the kid for a night.This father is obviously unfair.

But who knows that today is not because he didn't read the almanac or something. When he arrived outside the old lady's house, Guo Ye, who wanted to be an imitation of his father, was stopped by an old lady who was guarding the gate at night.

The old lady directly passed a word on behalf of the old lady: "The old lady has an order. The young master is sleeping soundly after feeding, so don't disturb him. Please also ask the county master to visit the young master again at another time."

Fuck!

Now Guo Ye was completely speechless, the older ones had already fallen asleep and couldn't visit them, and the younger ones were not allowed to see them.

Guo Ye, who is so powerful outside, has completely lost his status at home tonight.Shaking his head secretly and smiling wryly, he had no choice but to obediently withdraw from the old matriarch's inner courtyard.

He planned to go to Zhenniang's place with Guo Ye, but when he thought about whether the little Guo Xiang, a quirky little girl, would make trouble for the old man again, he gave up his idea.I turned again and went to Kang Zhiru's place to spend the night.

After spending the night at Kang Zhiru's place, after a little tossing around to release the pressure from the busy days, she fell asleep drowsily.

He didn't wake up slowly until the rooster crowed the next day.

After eating the breakfast that Kang Zhiru ordered someone to prepare, he went to the study and asked someone to invite An Ye.

After a while, An Ye was ordered to come, and entered Guo Ye's study in a wheelchair under the servant's cart.

After Guo Ye ordered people to stand guard outside the study, he looked at An Ye solemnly and asked, "Last night, there was a lot of chaos in the city. You must know what happened, right?"

An Ye nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "If the humble officer doesn't know what happened at this time, then he is not worthy to be in charge of the East Factory, and he should go back to the countryside to farm for the elderly."

Guo Ye asked again: "Then do you know who the murderer is?"

"Know!"

An Ye said: "Notices are posted everywhere in the city, others don't know who Wang Ba is, how can a lowly position not know? Huh?"

An Ye suddenly exclaimed, looked at Guo Ye in disbelief, and said in surprise: "My lord, you sent someone to bring the humble job here early in the morning. Could it be that Uncle Wang really did this? And he really Absconded back to Chang'an?"

By analogy, I really can't hide it from him.

Guo Ye nodded dejectedly, and sighed: "He stabbed such a big hornet's nest, alas, this time it's troublesome."

After listening to An Ye, he thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly and replied: "My lord, the lowly official believes that killing people to pay their debts and money is justified since ancient times. What's more, he killed the great general who guarded the Tuyuhun Road, the current emperor's favorite minister Hubu Shangshu, The younger brother of Duan Zhixuan, Lord Fan. No matter how you try to help him get rid of the crime, it will be very difficult. On the contrary, this matter will bring endless troubles. So, the meaning of humble position is..."

"Hand over people directly, right?"

Guo Ye interrupted An Ye's words, and said lightly: "I don't understand what you are saying? But let's not say that Wang Bodang was a hero in the past. It would be a pity if he was imprisoned and beheaded like this." Just talk about my friendship with Wang Bodang, and the help his Wild Wolf Army gave me when I was in Xichuan, I will protect him and help him out of trouble. Besides—”

Guo Ye glanced at An Ye with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "There are still things we don't know about here. It's not so much that Wang Bodang killed Duan Zhide by mistake, it's better to say that someone dug a hole behind his back and took advantage of him." Right. After this, if I guess correctly, it should be a treacherous conspiracy!"

"what?"

An Ye's face changed suddenly, and he said, "So it's not as simple as it looks on the surface? My lord, can we find out who is behind the scenes?"

Guo Ye shook his head and said: "At the moment, I don't know anything. There are clues, but they should be of little value. No, that's why I asked someone to invite you to use the power of Dongchang to help me make a secret investigation."

"This matter is a humble job!"

An Ye said: "My lord, please tell me the ins and outs of the matter in detail, so that I can have a direction for Dongchang to investigate."

Guo Ye hummed and was about to speak.Suddenly, there were a few hurried footsteps outside, mixed with sullen curses.

Hearing this, Guo Ye couldn't help but frown slightly, Damn, didn't you tell me that no one is allowed to disturb you for the time being?

He was about to yell loudly outside the study, but he heard a message from a guard outside: "My lord, the Secretary of the Household Department came to visit, and said that he has an urgent matter and needs to see your lord!"

Hubu Shangshu?Duan Zhixuan is here?

Guo Ye and An Ye looked at each other the same way, and then, Guo Ye suddenly chuckled and said, "This Fan Guogong, I thought he would come to me after noon, but I didn't expect to come here uninvited, and he even picked me up." In the early morning. It seems that he is really angry and anxious!"

After chuckling lightly, he patted the armrest of the wheelchair An Ye made, and said, "You stay in the study for now, I'll take him to the flower hall to deal with it."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the door of the study, opened the door and walked out.

Chapter 1147 Analysis step by step

Pingyang County Government House, in the flower hall.

Guo Ye met Duan Zhixuan, Duke of Fan Guo, who was then Minister of the Household Department.

Today, Duan Zhixuan came to visit in casual clothes. It is a private visit and meeting, so he did not wear the official robe and double-winged hat.

This is an ordinary-looking, short, thin, slightly rustic middle-aged man. If Guo Ye hadn't known him from the beginning, he would have directly classified Duan Zhixuan as a shrewd and stingy country rich man like most people .If he hadn't known his identity, how could he have thought that this man in front of him was actually trusted by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was in charge of the money, grain, taxation and taxation of the ten provinces and hundreds of states of the Tang Empire, and the Minister of the Household Department who was in charge of the economic artery of the Tang Empire.

If the old eunuch Ping Siye in the palace, who lives in simplicity and travels erratically, manages all the affairs of the palace for His Majesty Li Er, it is equivalent to the chief internal affairs of His Majesty Li Er.Then, Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Fan, is the chief foreign affairs officer in charge of the money and food affairs of the entire Tang Empire for His Majesty Li Er.

The position of Minister of the Household Department, when the three branches of the court broke their heads, they were all vying for it, which shows how much trust Duan Zhixuan has in His Majesty Li Er's mind.

What's even more commendable is that this person will not be arrogant and domineering because of his favor, which is what His Majesty Li Er admires the most.

Guo Ye boasted that he was proud of himself in front of His Majesty Li Er, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was definitely a big celebrity in front of His Majesty Li Er, but he was still clear-headed.He firmly believed that Duan Zhixuan's status and trust in His Majesty Li Er's heart were far higher than his own.

Otherwise, how could Duan Zhixuan, a low-key and silent man with no outstanding achievements, be among the 24 ministers of Lingyan Pavilion?

Although Guo Ye is not a personal friend with him, at least he has worked together and dealt with him. The way he gets along with Duan Zhixuan is to avoid offending Duan Zhixuan and try not to offend him.

Now, Duan Zhixuan's younger brother was mistakenly killed by Wang Bodang in Tuyuhun, and died in the official residence of Bailan City.And Duan Zhixuan also came to the door in person, even if Guo Ye wanted to save Wang Bodang from this disaster, he had to deal with it with extra caution.

He had already guessed yesterday that Duan Zhixuan would come to visit today, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so impatient that he would come to visit just after dawn.

The purpose of Duan Zhixuan's coming to look for him is like a mirror in his heart.The purpose is nothing more than two. One is that Guo Ye's leading military government office assisted the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Chang'an Mansion in investigating and arresting the murderer last night. He wanted to come to express his gratitude.

Of course, this first purpose is just a primer, and Duan Zhixuan's second purpose is the real purpose of his visit early this morning.

The second purpose is that Guo Ye stayed in Tuyuhun Dao at the beginning. To be precise, the reason why Tuyuhun Dao was able to merge into the territory of the Tang Dynasty was entirely due to Guo Ye.Because of this, Guo Ye has a great influence on Tuyuhun Dao.Now that there is news from Tuyuhundao, the murderer is locked on Wang Ba who led the Wild Wolf Army to break through Bailan City, and Wang Ba was once Guo Ye's subordinate in name.After threading the needle and thread together like this, the real purpose of Duan Zhixuan's visit to the Guo Mansion is ready to be revealed...

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Duan Zhixuan didn't even bother to drink water, so he said to Guo Ye anxiously: "Master Guo, Duan said straight to the point, and I came here today to rely on Master Guo's strength in Tuyuhun, and I just want to take advantage of the past relationship between Mr. Guo and the thief Wang Ba, find out the whereabouts of Wang Ba as soon as possible, and make him clear the legal code, and avenge my brother Zhide, so that my brother Quanxia knows and dies in peace. "

Guo Ye was slightly astonished on his face, but he took it calmly in his heart, and after a slight sigh, he comforted him: "Mr. Fan, your younger brother's misfortune, Mr. Guo, was discussed by his servants last night. Alas, it's a pity. But Xun Xun was suddenly murdered, God bless General Duan!"

This remark immediately resonated with Duan Zhixuan, and the resentment instantly disappeared on the surface, and he cursed in a hateful voice: "This tyrant is a shameless villain, if he is captured, I will definitely call on the Holy Majesty, and cut this guy into pieces. Torture, let him cry and die!!!”

A thousand cuts to pieces and torture?

Guo Ye couldn't help but shuddered when he heard this, it seemed that Liang Zixuan was settled, and it would be difficult for Duan Zhixuan to spare Wang Uncle Dang's unintentional mistake of killing his younger brother this time.

Immediately, he could only pretend to be stupid and said in a daze: "Master Duan, although Wang Ba worked with me in Tuyuhun Road for a while, but after he left the Wild Wolf Army, I have no contact with him. I really want to help Master Duan, he will bring this Wang Ba to justice as soon as possible. However, in the final analysis, this fellow started as a bandit and has no fixed home. Moreover, this fellow has now committed a murder and killed his younger brother. I am afraid it will be even more difficult to find him. It's even harder."

Duan Zhixuan's face froze, and the look of bitterness appeared in an instant, and he said disappointedly: "It seems that Duan took it for granted, alas, the world is so big, if Wang Ba wants to hide it for ten or twenty years, it should be a little problem No. I have pity on my brother who died in vain. He passed away with such a wrong. Sigh..."
