Gu Pan Lanling

Gu Zimo went back to Gu's house, but his parents were not at home, so he felt a little depressed.

He planned to visit Changqing, but when he arrived at Changqing's cloth shop, he heard a sigh from inside before entering the door: "What should I do, if it doesn't work, let's sell the cloth shop... Let's go to the countryside to avoid the limelight? "

"I'm sorry, mother, this is the only thing father left us, but the child is so incompetent that he can't keep it..."

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on telling you about the marriage, I wouldn't have brought you into such a big trouble. It's my mother who didn't think about things...and brought you down..."

Gu Zimo listened in a cloud of fog, but roughly understood that something might have happened to Chang Qing's cloth shop.

Stepped into the cloth village.

Chang Qing lowered his head, heard footsteps thinking it was a customer, and said dejectedly: "It's closed today, please go back."

"It's me, Xiao Qingzi!"

Gu Zimo saw that Chang Qing was sluggish, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his whole body was haggard, while Chang Qing's mother was also very sad.

"Zi Mo?"

Chang Qing raised his head to see Gu Zimo, slightly surprised, and was about to speak when Chang Qing's mother walked up to Gu Zimo, looked him up and down, "I haven't seen my nephew Zimo for a long time... How can you be so kind lately?" good?"

"Still the same..."

Gu Zimo glanced at the furnishings in the cloth shop, and many shelves were emptied.

"What happened here?"

"It's hard to say anything at this time, that's all, let's not mention it..."

"Xiao Qingzi, you and I are still seeing each other, tell me quickly, what happened, maybe I can help you!"

"That's right, I heard that nephew Zimo is now working with His Royal Highness Prince Lanling, maybe there will be a turnaround in this matter..."

"Mother, stop talking! It's not appropriate to involve Zimo in this matter!"

Gu Zimo saw that Chang Qing's face was very strange, and interrupted him with a frown, "What brought me into this, if you treat me as my brother, don't be so strange to me! Brother is in trouble, if I can do my best, Nature is bound to do so!"

"Nephew Zimo is really a good boy, in fact, this matter..."

"mother!!"

"Aunt Chang, leave him alone and continue talking about you..."

"This matter is actually all my fault. If I hadn't arranged the marriage for Chang Qing at that time, there would not have been such a big trouble. The daughter of an old friend, she had already had a crush on her, and she was from the Zhou Kingdom. I pretended to agree to this marriage, but I was kept in the dark and didn't know anything about it. Now people from the court insisted that we purposely covered up their adultery and treason... Hey, Zimoxian Nephew, you also know that the crime of treason is to punish the nine clans..."

"Mother, go back to the inner room and rest, I will chat with Zimo."

Before Gu Zimo could speak, Chang Qing stretched out his hand to pull Chang's mother, shook his head, and signaled her to stop talking.

"Okay, then you guys are chatting, and I won't bother you."

Mother Chang went back to the inner room with some regrets.

Gu Zimo's face instantly collapsed, "Little Qingzi, what time is it, you are still hiding in front of me like this! Tell me, what's going on?"

"Just like my mother said..."

"I can't stop watching! If you just suspect that you are covering up their defection, as long as there is no evidence, you can't convict them. Have you left any excuses?

Otherwise, why should Bu Zhuang go out and flee to the countryside?I was at the door just now, and I heard it all, Xiao Qingzi, don't hide it from me if you are a brother! "

"Zimo, you should leave this matter alone, I don't want you to get involved..."

"Okay, if you don't say yes, then I'll ask Aunt Chang!"

"Zimo!!"

"Although you and I are not blood brothers, we have taken care of each other for so many years, now that something happened to you, how can I stand by and watch?

And, have you forgotten?I am now serving beside the King of Lanling, and today is not the same as before, at worst, I will ask the King of Lanling to help you..."

"His Royal Highness Prince Lanling will never take care of this matter."

Chang Qing sighed, his complexion gradually darkened.

"You didn't say what it was, how do you know he won't care? In fact, he...is not as bad as we think, and he is still good to me..."

"Are you really going to let King Lanling take this muddy water?"

"If he can save you, it would not be in vain for me to be imprisoned in the palace for so long."

"But that person is Taiwei Liu, even His Royal Highness King Lanling may not be able to do anything to this person..."

"This matter is so complicated? Is it Liu Qingyun, the brother-in-law of Zu Ting, the current emperor's favored minister in Yecheng?"

"Yes, that's him. Looking at the entire Northern Qi Dynasty, who Liu Taiwei dared to fight against the King of Lanling? This person won His Majesty's favor by relying on his brother-in-law, Zu Teng, and together with Zu Teng to monopolize the government, it is another reform. In fact, they are nothing more than using the name of reform to ensure their power, and His Royal Highness Lanling King has a high prestige in the army, and he has a large army and does not accept the restrictions of reform.

Therefore, those two people have always been extremely jealous, so at that time His Royal Highness Lanling Mangshan returned to the court with a great victory, and made a big fuss about the "Lanling King Entering the Battle Song", which was widely sung by the soldiers and the people, to alienate His Royal Highness. and Your Majesty. "

"Is there such a thing? But aren't Gao Changgong and His Majesty cousins?"

"His Royal Highness King Lanling was indeed extremely relied upon by His Highness when His Majesty first took the throne, after all, His Highness and him are cousins...

Naturally, she has more trust than outsiders, but in the end, she is no match for the treacherous minister's slander...

Because of Zu Teng and Liu Taiwei's repeated slander, His Majesty became suspicious of His Royal Highness Lanling King, so His Highness rarely returned to Ye City in recent years...to prevent His Majesty from making a big fuss with Liu Taiwei... "

"So there are such things... You have never been out of Quanyong City, how did you know?"

Gu Zimo has always only known that Gao Changgong is in a high position, one person is under one man and above ten thousand people, and he is the god of war who looks down on the world.

But it never occurred to him that he and the current Holy Majesty had already separated.

If so, isn't Gao Changgong's situation very dangerous?

In particular, there are traitors like Liu Taiwei in the court.

"I heard these things from a relative in Yecheng, and with the analysis of the court situation in the past few years, it is easy to know the reason.

So, Zimo, do you understand?This matter is exhausted, even the King of Lanling can't save me, I have accepted my fate, if I really cannot escape this disaster, there is only one thing, Zimo, you must promise me... do it for me... ...It is to send my mother back to a safe place in the countryside, and arrange someone to take care of her for me...Your kindness, brother, I will definitely repay you in the next life! "

"I still don't understand. If there is a misunderstanding, it's good to explain it clearly. The other party has no evidence, so why should he accuse you of treason? It shouldn't be against you to punish the crime..."

"Man, indeed... I let you go." Chang Qing lowered his head and said.

"What did you say?"

"That woman's name is Qiulan. When she came to see me in Quanyong City, she was already pregnant. I just said a few words to her when she was captured by Liu Taiwei's men. Just in front of me, you Do you know how Taiwei Liu humiliated her?

Taiwei Liu stuffed his pet dog into the woman's cunt... and caused the woman's miscarriage to almost die... What kind of adultery with Zhou Guoqing was all arranged by Liu Taiwei..."

"My God! Taiwei Liu is too vicious! Isn't he afraid of retribution for doing this?"

"Retribution? For something worse than this, did Liu Qingyun do less?"

"So, Taiwei Liu is sure that you and Qiulan are a couple, so he wants to blame you?"

"This is one reason, but there is actually another reason."

As Chang Qing said, he took a key from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Zimo, "It's because of this."

"This is……"

"The whole family of my relative in Yecheng was massacred by Liu Taiwei and Zu Ting. A blood book was left behind, which clearly testified to the crimes of these two people. This is the key.

It has been kept by me for more than a year, but the news has been leaked for some reason recently, so I suspect that Qiulan's visit to Quanyong City this time is itself a bureau set up by Liu Taiwei, and what he wants is this key. "

"Give it to me now, isn't this..."

"The place where you are is protected by a hidden position, so I don't worry that Liu Taiwei's people will see that I gave you the key. The key is with you, but it is the safest."

"Since you say that, it proves that I have a way to save you, Xiao Qingzi. If you provoke that pervert, if you can't hand over the key, he will definitely kill you..."

"But even if I pay, do you think he will let me go?"

"If this blood edict falls into the hands of His Royal Highness Prince Lanling, will the other party be afraid?"

"Actually, I have long wanted to present this item to His Royal Highness Lanling, but I have never been able to find an opportunity. After all, I am not sure whether His Highness is willing to take care of this matter... After all, His Highness does not like to participate in the court. struggle."

"There's nothing he can do if he doesn't like it. I'll take care of this matter!"

Gu Zimo said and took out a seal, "This is the seal that Gao Changgong gave me. It turns out that my authority is very high. If I come forward to negotiate with that Liu Taiwei and ask him to let you go, what do you say?" Will he agree?"

"Zimo, you must not take risks..."

"But we have no other good solution, then Taiwei Liu will send someone over at any time. Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."

After Gu Zimo bid farewell to Chang Qing in a hurry, he immediately called out to the air, "Where is the dark guard!"

"Subordinates are..."

A few men in black suddenly appeared, and Gu Zimo's eyes widened suddenly. It turned out that Gao Changgong had been sending people to secretly protect his safety.

Today is no exception.

"I want you to stay and protect my friends."

"My lord, we are ordered to protect you only, your friends are not under our protection."

"This is an order, do you want to disobey it?" Gu Zimo had known for a long time that they would not agree, so he took out the seal of the position given to him by King Lanling.

When those people saw the seal, they knelt down one after another.

"Subordinates obey."

After persuading these people to protect Chang Qing, Gu Zimo's heart relaxed a lot.

He hurried back to the palace.

Regarding Liu Taiwei's matter, it is better to find out something.

It is best to get some information from Gao Wen before taking action.

Gao Wen was surprised to see Gu Zimo turn back.

Just about to ask, Gu Zimo asked anxiously: "Director Gao, there is something I want to ask you."

"Mr. Zimo, just speak up if you have something to do, and I will know everything."

"Liu Taiwei has come to Quanyong City, do you know?"

Gu Zimo had been observing Gao Wen's expression while speaking.

Sure enough, after speaking, Gao Wen's face became obviously darkened.

"Of course, I know about this matter. This Lieutenant Liu sent someone to send a gift on the first day he came to Quanyong City. He said he came to visit His Highness, but His Highness refused. It is a coincidence that Mrs. Liu The day Wei showed his face was the day before His Highness and Young Master were assassinated, so I don't know if the two are related."
