Before dawn the next day, someone knocked on the door of Gu Mu's room, and handed over to Gu Mu the things he got overnight.

"Is brother awake? I'm coming in." Gu Mu turned around and went to look for Gu Zhao again.

"Just get up, come in." Gu Zhao insisted on not missing out on morning exercises, and was about to go out for exercise when he heard Gu Mu's voice.

When Gu Mu came in, he found that Gu Zhao had already put on his clothes. A trace of regret flashed in his heart, but it was important: "Brother, let's see what my people brought overnight."

Gu Mu put the things in his hands in front of Gu Zhao, a piece of cloth was holding a green brick, but some places were torn, revealing the golden color inside.

What Qiao Xianqing said to Gu Mu, Gu Mu didn't hide it from Gu Zhao after he came back, but even though he was mentally prepared, Gu Zhao was still shocked, picked up the heavy brick to check: "It's really a gold nugget, I thought it was like this The story is fabricated."

In the memory of later generations, those film and television novels have reported that corrupt officials used gold bricks to pave roads and build walls. In reality, there are also corrupt officials who made an entire wall hollow and filled it with banknotes, which is similar to building houses with gold bricks. Seeing the real situation now, Gu Zhao still can't understand the psychology of these corrupt officials.

He loves money. At first he even had to pick up a few taels of silver. While taking the imperial examination, he tried his best to do small business to earn money. But when his wealth reached a certain level, it was nothing more than a number to him. Maybe he could still go to heaven? ?

Gu Mu sarcastically said: "Wan Zhifu uses such bricks to build a temple for his mother to pray, and he is not afraid that the Buddha will punish his mother? Is it true filial piety or is he trying to kill his mother?" Then his expression changed and he said, " Let’s leave this brick as a souvenir for my brother.”

Gu Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't refuse after thinking about it. It can be used to educate other descendants of the Gu family in the future, so we should take it as a warning.

"Do you still have enough people?"

Gu Mu nodded: "I transferred some of the people from the cement workshop over there, and besides, His Majesty gave me this thing before I left."

Gu Mu took out something from his bosom, and Gu Zhao gasped when he saw it. It was a soldier talisman, which means that His Majesty directly gave Gu Mu the right to mobilize local troops, so Gu Zhao doesn't have to worry about it now.

Because Gu Zhao and Gu Mu stayed at the construction site, the cement workshop left money to manage things, but Shi Mao and the two were also there, and they represented Gu Zhao's identity, but because of this, those who followed were all focused On the construction site, instead of ignoring the cement workshop, Gu Mu directly recruited 100 people and quickly rushed to the temple outside the city, and immediately blocked the temple, and at the same time personally dispatched troops.

Several people outside the construction site were staring, and some even sneaked into the construction site to act as workers, and they whispered to each other during the break.

"Why do you feel that the atmosphere on this construction site is not right, is there something going on?"

"What's going to happen? Aren't people all on this construction site?" Whether it's Gu Zhao Gu Mu or the guards outside, don't they all stay well. If there is a big move, it's impossible for these guards to stay still.

Some people think that the magistrate is over-concerned, so why is Viscount Pingnan just a brat who follows Gu Zhao all day as if he has not been weaned? How much fear can such a brat make people feel?Besides, Gu Zhao is also honestly building dams, and there is no sign of meddling in Jiangnan affairs. Except for Qiao Huan from Qiao's family, he has not seen anyone else in Jiangnan. As for Qiao Huan, no one in Jiangnan knows that Gu Zhao and Qiao The relationship between Huan.

It was Gu Zhao who held the money for selling glass products and glass mirrors in his hand, which made many people jealous, but he couldn't move.

Although some people felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere on the construction site, but because everything on the surface of the construction site was as usual, they could only suppress their feelings for the time being.As for Gu Mu not showing up today, isn't he like this often? Gu Zhao has to bring in food and drink, isn't this just a child who hasn't been weaned yet?

Gu Zhao is still working hard to cover for Gu Mu, but this time he can't keep calm. Outside, the whole Jiangnan officialdom is about to experience a big shock. Experience this kind of moment in person, and his mood will inevitably fluctuate. Gu Mu was also a little worried, what if some dog officials were forced to jump over the wall?But this kind of worry cannot be revealed to the outside.

The mountain where the Wanjia Family Temple is located outside the city was suddenly surrounded by a group of guards who rushed up from the mountain. They arrested anyone they saw, tied them up and threw them aside. No one could escape, and they shouted It turns out that this is the site of Lord Wan of Wanzhi Prefecture, and no one pays any attention to them.

In the innermost room, when the guards kicked open the door and rushed in, there was a scream of a woman inside, and then the guards dragged a bald monk out of the bed. This scene made the guards sneer. What kind of chanting is this? A praying monk?It was clearly Monk Hua, and in the end three trapped women were found in an underground kiln.

Then the guards started the disassembly work.

"Smash! Tear down all this wall."

"What are you doing? Stop it all! You are disrespectful and will annoy the Buddha to punish you!"

"There is still a mouth that hasn't been blocked? If you want to punish the crime, let's rain a few thunderbolts to kill you. Hit me!"

"Bang bang bang", within a short time, a wall collapsed, and the outer skin of many bricks was cracked, unable to hide the true face underneath. Even the guards who demolished the temple were shocked, and some people subconsciously swung their knives Cut other bricks, and sure enough, the outside is still a layer of skin, and the bottom is golden.

"Mom, it's actually gold nuggets, and you actually use gold nuggets as bricks to build temples."

"Shut up! Find all the gold nuggets and load them into the truck, and don't leave any of them behind. My lord said, these are the stolen silver that disappeared seven years ago."

As soon as the stolen money came out, everyone shut up, and the monks were too terrified to move. They didn't know that they were staying in a temple made of gold. If they had known earlier, they might not have been so dedicated. The last few gold bricks ran away.

Outside the Jiangnan garrison camp.

"The military camp is important, idlers stop!"

Gu Mu looked at these people condescendingly on the horse, and turned his hand to show the soldier talisman in his palm: "I want to see you, Mr. Tong, why don't you send an order quickly? Tell him, I am Gu Mu."

Seeing that it was a soldier talisman, the guard was startled, and hurried to the barracks alone, and only halfway through the journey did he remember who this man who called himself Gu Mu was, wasn't it the Viscount Pingnan who came to the south of the Yangtze River, and he was carrying a soldier talisman .

"My lord, it's not good, Viscount Pingnan has come to our barracks with a soldier talisman."

Mr. Tong is closing his eyes and resting his mind. He has nothing else to do except normal training. He is not very interested in the affairs of Jiangnan's officialdom. Mr. Tong will accept whatever gifts are given there, but turn around. It will be written in the booklet and sent to the capital.

Hearing the name of Viscount Pingnan suddenly, Master Tong opened his eyes and stood up, striding out: "Who? Who's here? What did you bring?"

"It's the Viscount Pingnan who brought the military talisman to see the Lord."

"Soldier Talisman? Come on, follow me to meet Viscount Pingnan." Master Tong didn't doubt that he was there, and immediately strode out of the barracks.

Master Tong hurried to the gate of the barracks. Gu Mu was still sitting on the horse. Seeing that Master Tong did not dismount, he still showed the soldier talisman in his hand. Master Tong took it carefully and verified the authenticity of the soldier talisman.

it is true!Master Tong returned the soldier talisman without saying a word, and saluted Gu Mu, Gu Mu got off his horse and helped Master Tong.

Mr. Tong is a typical military general, he was born with five big and three rough, but Gu Mu has delicate features. It is not that cold aura that makes people doubt his identity, but when he holds him up, Mr. Tong finds that his strength is amazing To his surprise, he couldn't bend his waist anymore.

Just now, in respect of the soldier talisman and His Majesty, Mr. Tong showed a little more respect for Gu Mu's little show of skill, so he straightened up following Gu Mu's strength, and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask Mr. Gu why you came here?" Why."

"I want Mr. Tong to mobilize an army, and rush to Jiangnan City with me to capture Wan Hongjing, and not let anyone in Wanfu go."

Lord Tong's pupils shrank suddenly. He knew exactly when Gu Mu came to Jiangnan, and what Gu Mu did when he came to Jiangnan. He also got the news, but now it seems that the news was wrong. Gu Mu didn't stay at the construction site all day long. Just to protect Gu Zhao, this is more like a cover, just to cover his investigation of the Jiangnan officialdom.

Master Tong not only did not ask whether Gu Mu had the evidence, but what kind of evidence he was. He is a military commander, and all he has to do is obey the person who holds the military talisman, so he was shocked, and he still obeyed orders: "Please wait a moment, Master Gu. , Tong will lead people into the city with Mr. Gu."

"Thank you."

Gu Mu entered the barracks with Lord Tong. This Lord Tong was transferred to the Jiangnan garrison after the flood seven years ago. Obviously, the man was not trustworthy before. Before he left, His Majesty gave him a military talisman, and said that Lord Tong was probably a garrison. Believe it, for Gu Mu, no matter whether Mr. Tong has changed or not, as long as he sees the soldiers and obeys the order, other things don't matter. It's too late to send someone to notify Wan now.

If you dare to see that the soldier talisman does not act according to the order, it is a serious crime. It is impossible for Mr. Tong to entrust his future and life to the surname Wan.

Within a few minutes, the gate of the barracks opened, and a large team headed towards Jiangnan City, led by Gu Mu and Master Tong.

Near noon, the gates of Jiangnan City are still very lively. Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, and there are many people entering and leaving the city gates every day, some in a hurry, and some gossiping in groups. There was a sound, and even the ground under their feet was trembling, causing everyone to look into the distance.

In a blink of an eye, a team of horses appeared, sweeping up the dust on the side of the road, coming menacingly, and the momentum was extremely huge.

"Who is that? It looks like there are a lot of people, one or two hundred people?"

"More than that, look at them in military uniforms, it's not good, they are officers and soldiers of the government, back away!"

The officials and soldiers of this kind of government, even if they offended these ordinary people, they were offended for nothing, and there was no way to ask for any explanation, so the bustling city gate suddenly fell into panic.

The author’s gossip: In the previous chapter, the chanting was written as an ode, Khan, and Wan Zhifu. I don’t know if the name was written in the previous chapter.
