Beizhen Fusi is located in an alley in the northwest of the imperial palace. The gate of the yamen is inconspicuous and deserted. Except for the Jinyiwei who go in and out of the office, there are few pedestrians, because the plaque hanging on the door alone reads "Beizhen The four big characters "Fusi" are enough to make ordinary people shy away.

Before going out of the palace, Gu Min changed into the bright red splendid flying fish suit bestowed by the emperor. He wore black gauze on his head, a luan belt around his waist, and an embroidered spring knife in his hand. The outfit completely set off the advantage of the man's figure with a tiger back, a wasp waist, and praying mantis legs. , the end is a heroic and brave star descending to earth.

Jiang Shuiping, who came out with him, looked at it and joked, "You look decent in this outfit."

Gu Min rested his hand on the handle of the knife carelessly, "What's going on?"

"Dogs rely on people's power." Seeing Gu Min staring at him, Jiang Shuipi hurriedly raised his hand to beg for mercy, "I didn't say this, it was all told by the people that the imperial court had two dogs, one from Dongchang, and one from Dongchang. Jin Yiwei's flower dog, the dog takes advantage of people's power, and does all kinds of evil."

Gu Min twitched the corner of his mouth indifferently, and raised his hand to pat the folds of the official uniform, "But if you want to do things conveniently in this capital, you have to wear this dog fur. Let's go and meet our man for a while." Commander of Jinyiwei, sir."

The two walked towards the Fusi yamen in Beizhen, one after the other, and handed over the appointment documents to the Jin Yiwei who was on duty at the gate. The Jin Yiwei checked the official documents, returned the documents to Gu Min after confirming that they were correct, and led them into the yamen after saluting inside.

Gu Min walked into the courtyard of the yamen and looked around. All the guards came in and out in an orderly manner, all of them had serious faces, and they couldn't hear a word of chatting or laughing. It was obvious that they were well-trained on weekdays.

Gu Min stopped in his tracks and asked Jin Yiwei who brought him in: "I take office on the first day, I should first meet Commander Master Liu, I don't know if Master Liu is here today?"

That Jin Yiwei said: "Master Gu's visit today is not a coincidence, Master Liu has some business to go out, and he may not return until after noon."

Gu Min paused and asked again: "Where is the prison? Can you take me in?"

The guard in Jin Yi glanced at Gu Min, and suddenly smiled and said, "Of course you can, you are the master of affairs, you can come and go freely in and out of Fusi in Beizhen, the imperial prison is here, please come down with your subordinates."

The light in the prison is dim, the atmosphere is gloomy, mixed with the smell of blood, sweat and other disgusting smells, and it happens that Jin Yiwei is interrogating the criminals, and the howling of ghosts and wolves can be heard endlessly. Just listening to it makes people feel heartbroken. Where the sun cannot be seen.

Gu Min couldn't help breathing heavily when he heard the screams, gritted his teeth, and asked with cold eyes, "Where is Pingyang King Xue Jixian imprisoned?"

Jin Yiwei continued to lead them in, and said courteously: "Xue Jixian is a felon of the imperial court, and he was imprisoned in the cell of Tianzihao, the innermost cell."

After a while, he arrived outside the cells of Tianzihao. Jin Yiwei pointed to one of the cells and said, "Master Gu, the prisoner here is the King of Pingyang, Xue Jixian."

Gu Min walked over slowly and saw a person sitting on the floor with his back against the corner of the cell, his body was ragged and blood-stained, and he slowly raised his head after hearing their voices.

The man was disheveled and unkempt, and couldn't see his face clearly, but as soon as he saw Gu Min, his eyes immediately shone brightly. Agitated and disbelieving, he stood up slowly, staggered towards Gu Min, thinking He opened his mouth to speak, but because he hadn't drank water for a long time, his voice became hoarse, and he couldn't speak for a while with his mouth open.

Jiang Shuili was impatient and impatient. He grabbed the fence door and shook it twice, and shouted at Jin Yiwei: "Quick! Open the door!"

Jin Yiwei had a smile on his face, but his body remained motionless, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, all the prisoners here are serious offenders. Without Mr. Liu's order, the subordinates dare not open the prison door without authorization."

There was no anger on Gu Min's face, but he held the handle of the Xiuchun Knife firmly with one hand, and said in a restrained voice, "Go get water and food."

Jiang Shuiping shook his fist and yelled at the Jin Yiwei: "Hurry up and get it!"

Jin Yiwei took a step back in fright from the ferocious Jiang Shuiping, and hurried to get water and food obediently. When they left, Jiang Shuiping immediately knelt down to the people in the cell. His eyes were red and his throat was choked and he said: My lord! Your subordinates came late and made you suffer!"

"Father, the child is late." Gu Min knelt down slowly while leaning his hands on the fence, looked up at Pingyang King who was covered in injuries in the prison with self-blame, his Adam's apple rolled, "How is your health? Is there any problem?"

"It's okay, I can hold on, you all get up." King Pingyang looked at Gu Min carefully for a while, then shook his head and sighed, "Son, you shouldn't be here, it's because of your father that you are dragging you down."

"You saved my child's life, so why bother? I can't just sit and watch you die, and see Xue's family suffer this disaster." Gu Min said firmly, "That's why I have to come. "

King Pingyang looked at the flying fish suit on Gu Min, with regret in his eyes, "The capital is full of wolves, tigers and leopards, and it's hard to deal with any of them. My father is afraid that you won't be able to go back when you come!"

Gu Min suppressed his voice, but said every word sonorously: "Since I have come, I have never thought of going back. The two lonely souls of the Xu family 110 have not been waiting for me to come back for a day, and wait for me to settle, injustice, Zhao, and so on for them. Snow!"

Tears welled up in King Pingyang's eyes, and he held Gu Min's hand tightly, "Have you thought about it? This road is not easy!"

"Never look back, and never regret it." After Gu Min finished speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps not far away. It should be that Jin Yiwei came back with food, so he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Don't worry, the child is already gone." Seeking the grace of the Empress Dowager to order a retrial of your case, and the emperor has also shown great favor to the child, foster father, you will be fine!"

The king of Pingyang understood, and immediately knelt down facing the north, kowtowed and saluted: "The old minister thanked the emperor and the queen mother for their kindness. The emperor's kindness is so great, and I am grateful!"

The Jin Yiwei came over with water and porridge and stuffed them into the prison, turned his eyes around Gu Min, "So Master Gu knows King Pingyang?"

Gu Min took off the pouch hanging on his belt, took out a stack of silver bills and stuffed it into Jin Yiwei, and said calmly: "The King of Pingyang is my adoptive father, the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager have agreed to retrial the case of the prince's treason yesterday. Before the case is retried, please take care of the lord, the brothers who are in charge of the jail, this money should be used to buy wine for the brothers."

Jin Yiwei didn't refuse, took the bank note, and thanked with a smile on his face: "It's all from my family, Mr. Gu, you are too polite, don't worry, the brothers will definitely take care of King Pingyang with all their heart."

"Thank you." Gu Min smiled faintly, "Then I will leave today."

Jin Yiwei asked strangely: "You didn't wait for Lord Liu to come back?"

Gu Min smiled lightly and said: "No, I suddenly remembered that the emperor told me to do something, I have to go out first, and I would like to trouble you to say hello to Mr. Liu, saying that I will come to visit him tomorrow."

Jin Yiwei cupped his hands and said, "Okay, then go slowly."

Gu Min bid farewell to King Pingyang and left the prison with Jiang Shuiping.

Jin Yiwei, who brought them in, took a last look at King Pingyang in the prison, left the cell, came to a room where torture instruments were placed in the imperial prison, and knelt down to salute the commander of Jin Yiwei who was wearing a flying fish suit inside.

"My lord, I have already left, so I will come to visit you again tomorrow."

This person is naturally Liu Chengyi, the commander of Jinyiwei who claimed to Gu Min that he had gone out.

Liu Chengyi supported his waist with both hands, and stood in front of a pair of shackles weighing one hundred catties, "Did you hear what they said?"

Jin Yiwei only heard Gu Min and Pingyang King's words about the emperor's kindness, and repeated them to Liu Chengyi. Liu Chengyi put down his hands after listening, and turned the jade wrench on his left thumb, "That's all? Nothing else gone?"

Jin Yiwei thought for a while and said: "They asked the subordinates to go down to get food. What else was said during this, but the subordinates didn't hear it."

Liu Chengyi sneered and said: "The left and right people have already arrived at Jinyiwei, and I am not afraid of him playing tricks under my nose. The factory owner asked me to keep a close eye on the kid surnamed Gu, then you all should polish my eyes! Go, find a few A brother followed to keep an eye on Gu Min, who he saw outside the palace, where he went, and everything, no matter how big or small, he had to report everything to me!"

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"



After leaving the alley where the Fusi yamen in Beizhen was located, Gu Min and Jiang Shuiping came to stroll on the busiest street in Manjing.

The flying fish suit that Gu Min was wearing was very eye-catching, and the common people hid away when they saw him, as if they had seen a plague god and were afraid to avoid him.

Not far away, Jiang Shuiping suddenly noticed something, leaned closer to Gu Min and lowered his head and said in a low voice, "There are two flower dogs following us."

Gu Min looked calm, "Don't worry, let them follow if they like."

Jiang Shuiping glanced at him sideways, "But you asked me to ask Mr. Wu to meet at the teahouse today. How can they get out after they have been following us? Why don't we split up and find a way to get rid of them?"

Gu Min didn't look aside, walked leisurely, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Be safe and don't be impatient, the first day you leave the palace, don't act too conspicuously, don't let them find your flaws."

Although Jiang Shuiping was anxious, but seeing Gu Min's calm demeanor, he could only hold back his temper, and the two wandered aimlessly on the street like this.

Suddenly, a carriage passed by at high speed on the street, frightening a white-haired old man beside the road. In order to avoid the carriage, the old man ran into Gu Min in a panic and almost fell to the ground with his head up. Min subconsciously backhanded him up.

Seeing this scene, the common people watching this scene were all sweating for the old man, and they bumped into a Jin Yiwei anyway, who didn't know that Jin Yiwei was the most arrogant and domineering, and no one could provoke him. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat and walk away.

But to their surprise, instead of scolding the old man, the senior official of Jinyiwei who was bumped into cared about him.

Gu Min supported the old man, "Old man, are you alright?"

The old man hurriedly nodded and bowed his waist and said: "It's all right, I'm sorry for the official, the old man is too dazed to see the way, the official is not to blame!"

Gu Min smiled gently and said, "It's good that you're fine, there are many people and cars on the road, please be careful when you walk."

The old man glanced at Gu Min with some fear, as if he couldn't believe that Jin Yiwei would be so easy-going, so he quickly lowered his head and slipped away quickly before the official got angry.

Gu Min watched the old man go away, then suddenly turned around and said to Jiang Shui, "Go back to the palace."

Jiang Shuiping was stunned: "Huh? Are you going back to the palace now?"

Gu Min said "Yes" without explaining, and walked back to the palace without stopping, and finally got rid of the two Jin Yiwei who followed them all the way outside the palace.

When he was about to reach the gate of Lanyue Zhai Palace, Jiang Shuiping finally asked what he had been holding back for a long time: "No, Mr. Wu didn't see him, why did you go back to the palace?"

Gu Min said indifferently: "Mr. Wu has already told me everything he wants to say."

Jiang Shuiping's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

Gu Min reached into his skirt and took out a note.

Seeing the note, Jiang Shuipi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized that he slapped his thigh, "That old man I met on the street! I said why so many people on the street didn't bump into each other, but they just bumped into you!"

Gu Min ignored Jiang Shuiping who was making a fuss, unfolded the note, and read it as he walked. The results of the imperial examination come down to drive a wedge between Guo Jiuchen and Du Qianren.

After reading it, Gu Min understood what the note meant.

Both Dongchang and the cabinet participated in the cheating of the scientific examination, selling test questions for cashiers, and whoever gave more money would be able to go to high school.

But the problem is that the imperial examination is held every three years, but there is only one champion. If it falls on a certain candidate who bribed Du Qianren, it will let others know that Du Qianren is more powerful than Guo Jiuchen, and the people who take refuge in Du Qianren will be more and more in the future. With more and more people, the strength will sooner or later far surpass that of the East Factory, and vice versa, the East Factory will also be the same.

It's like two dogs of equal strength robbing a piece of fat to eat. If they can't share it evenly, there will be quarrels.

The examination questions for the palace examination are generally prepared by the cabinet and then submitted to the emperor for selection.

Thinking of this, Gu Min's heart skipped a beat. If he could first inquire about this year's imperial examination questions from the little emperor, and then reveal it to Du Qianren or Guo Jiuchen, he would definitely be able to gain the trust of one of them and arouse the dissatisfaction of the other.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Gu Min has a plan in mind, the day after tomorrow is the day of the palace examination, and now the little emperor is very fond of him, if the little emperor summons him tonight, he can make the little emperor happy, then the little emperor can extract relevant information about the palace examination questions , is not impossible.

Gu Min was preoccupied with his plans for tonight, and had already entered the gate of Lanyue Zhai before he knew it.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he didn't expect that as soon as Gu Min raised one foot and stepped over the threshold, two figures suddenly came out from the inside and knelt down in front of him, startling both Gu Min and Jiang Shuiping.

"Yanqing/Yulian, please take care of Gu Shaojun."

Gu Min took a closer look at the two men, and found that they were actually the male pets whom he had met in Baohua Palace in the morning, and those two Prince An brought into the palace to present to the little emperor!

Gu Min frowned and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

The male pet named Yan Qing raised his head and looked at Gu Min shyly and timidly, "The emperor asked us to serve Gu Shaojun."

Gu Min: "...Why did the emperor ask you to serve me?"

Yan Qing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The emperor said that Gu Shaojun was favored for the first time, and he didn't know much about how to behave between men, so let us... teach you some... Longyang secrets."

After Gu Min heard this, his face turned black.

The male favorite named Yu Lian is straightforward, and he said quickly: "These secret techniques are not difficult to learn. Presumably with Gu Shaojun's ingenuity, we will teach you a little bit, and you will be able to master it if you practice it a few more times. It makes the Holy Dragon's heart very happy, and the grace to you is even greater!"

Yan Qing then said considerately: "Gu Shaojun, the emperor called you to attend bed tonight, time is running out, let's start learning quickly?"

"Puchi!" Jiang Shuiping on the side finally couldn't help laughing out loud, looked guiltyly at Gu Min, whose face was black like a piece of iron, and slipped away, "Well, I'll go to the dining room to see if there is anything to eat , I won’t bother you three to study hard!”
