Other officials in the Jiangnan officialdom and the big salt merchants, when they heard the news, they sighed and frowned. In private, many merchants gathered together to discuss how to get rid of the predicament in front of them. It is best to combine these two surnames Gu's horse was pulled down.

What they could do seven years ago, can't they do it seven years later?

The officials who came to the south of the Yangtze River were either corrupted by them and became their protective umbrella, or they were already dead and no longer qualified to live in this world. The former was like Wan Hongjing, and the latter was like Liu Shilian.

Before, they thought that the emperor sent the God of Wealth to their territory. They thought about how to turn the God of Wealth into their own, and let him help them make money and earn more gold and silver wealth, but who would have thought that Gu Mu would Ruthless enough, it didn't take long for them to knock down their backer Wan Hongjing.

"What do you say in Jingli? Can Wan Hongjing be rescued?" Now the army is stationed in the government office, and their people have no choice but to get close, and the surname Tong can't even enter.

"The news is not so fast." The head of the big salt merchant is surnamed Jin, and the others are vaguely headed by him. This is a truly ruthless master. There is no way to survive, even if the news from Jingli has not come, but according to Jin, the people in Jingli may want the life of Wan even more, only the dead can keep secrets."

"Even we kept the stolen money hidden by the surname Wan, how did the kid surnamed Gu know about it? Didn't he just come to Jiangnan for a short time?"

Master Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "I suspect someone."

"Who?"

"Wan Hongjing's brother-in-law." Master Jin said with a soft snort.

"Qiao Xianqing? How is it possible? Isn't he a grasshopper on the same rope as his brother-in-law?" The others were surprised, how could it be the Wan Hongjing that Qiao Xianqing betrayed.

Master Jin snorted coldly and said, "Wan Hongjing hid the stolen silver in a secret way, we don't even know about it, and he couldn't possibly tell Qiao Xianqing, but Qiao Xianqing's brother-in-law with him for these years is not for nothing, it must be The location of the Tibetan silver has been deduced from some clues. Qiao Xianqing may not have seen what we didn't see clearly. For example, Qiao Xianqing saw Wan Hongjing's "true filial piety" to his mother. Wan Hongjing never took Qiao Xianqing seriously. I don't think Qiao Xianqing will betray him either."

Others thought it was possible, Wan Hongjing really ordered Qiao Xianqing around, maybe it was something that he noticed during the construction of the temple.

"But what's the benefit to Qiao Xianqing?"

Master Jin: "There are many benefits. One is that he has cleaned himself up. He is innocent in the eyes of the people above. He has made meritorious deeds. The other is that he got on the boat of those two boys surnamed Gu. Don't forget Whether it's Gu Mu or Gu Zhao, standing behind her is that Princess Yongfu."

"This is his real purpose? But this Joe is so whimsical. Even if she is a princess, she is just a woman. It is not good for a woman to obediently give birth to a child at home, and run out to fight for the throne with a man? It is really laughing at the big teeth of the world." , Joe, he made the most stinky move."

Master Jin: "But now the emperor is still alive, so Princess Yongfu is slightly better. If you don't look at it, you can count on that one. Wan Hongjing just fell down."

"Then Master Jin means..."

Master Jin narrowed his eyes and said: "In my opinion, what we originally thought might not work, so there is no need to spend time on these two people for the time being. Anyway, they won't stay in Jiangnan for too long. We might as well Concentrate on the next Jiangnan magistrate, and the one surnamed Wan had better shut up."

Someone showed hesitation, and Master Jin added another flame: "If something happened to those two people at this time, what do you think the emperor in the capital will do? Will we let the whole of Jiangnan go?"

"This..." Everyone looked at each other. At that point, the whole Jiangnan might be thoroughly investigated, which is really not good for them.

"Then... just wait for them to leave?"

"And where is Qiao Xianqing?"

"For the time being, let him take advantage of it first, let him remember it first."

"Okay." Qiao Xianqing probably really took refuge with Gu Zhao and Gu Mu. At this time, they moved the Qiao family, and these two people might not let them go.

In fact, that day when they saw Gu Mu directly leading troops to surround Fuya and Wanfu, and none of them could escape, they were also terrified. Unable to resist, this made them realize that no matter how much wealth they have, it is nothing compared to power, and it may be wiped out in an instant.

Now the army is still staying in Jiangnan City, saying that they are not convinced, but at this time, who really dares to confront those two?I'm afraid that next time those officers and soldiers will rush into their mansion to arrest people and ransack their homes.

Gu Mu wanted to go to the gate of the city to pick up Gu Zhao himself, but Gu Zhao was the one who came to the government office to meet him.

"Brother, you are finally here." Seeing Gu Zhao, Gu Mu smiled happily, the cold aura all over his body dissipated, and even the people around him felt that the temperature had risen a lot.

Gu Zhao saw that Gu Mu's eyes were blue and black, and he knew that he hadn't been able to rest in the past few days: "Your Majesty asked me to help you. If there is anything else, I will help you first. You go down and have a rest first."

Seeing Gu Zhao, Gu Mu really felt that he could relax. If other officials were sent here, he would still have to fight with others. How could he have a brother.

"I'm fine, brother, don't worry, but brother has to work hard."

Gu Zhao smiled, and stopped persuading Gu Mu to go to rest. Instead, he put down his luggage and picked up his sleeves to work, so that Gu Mu could really relax. He also called Shi Mao, who was in the cement workshop, to come over. , the government office must have its own talents.

It was Gu Zhao's first contact with local affairs, and he had no experience at all, but he had no experience, but Master Fu knew him very well. He had been with Uncle Li for many years. As soon as he came, he rectified the messy government office and told Gu Zhao the whole process.

Gu Zhao also went from being in a hurry at the beginning to gradually getting used to it. After he figured out the routine, his work went much smoother. Those who fish in troubled waters catch and chase away, and their actions are very vigorous and resolute.

However, within two days, the government office opened its doors again, and the officers and soldiers who had surrounded the government office before were now guarding the property and Wan Hongjing and other criminals.

"Master Biao," Master Fu reminded Gu Zhao, "Now the manpower in the government office is not enough."

Knowing from Gu Mu who had a case, Gu Zhao kicked this person out directly, and handed them over to Gu Mu for disposal. Although it is not known whether the rest are really innocent, there are a lot of vacancies in various positions, which has led to the current situation. The government office is understaffed.

Gu Zhao said: "How many manpower is lacking? I'll figure out a way. At this time, I choose not to abuse the shortage, so as not to breed their arrogance, thinking that this government office will really not be able to function without them."

That's right, the reason for the chaos before was that many people inside were passively resisting, trying to make the government run smoothly?Not only did I not do anything, but I also made trouble for you, so I made Gu Mu one head and two big. When Gu Zhao came, he still had this idea, and wanted to take advantage of Gu Zhao, who was young and vigorous, and had nowhere to go Newcomers with official experience and seasoned Master Fu could see the problem at a glance, Gu Zhao kicked and drove these people away without saying a word.

Master Fu handed Gu Zhao a piece of paper, which listed the current vacancies. Gu Zhao turned around and wrote a letter to the dean of Wensi Academy, asking Shi Dingshan to go there in person and hand it over to the dean in person.

With such a big commotion in Jiangnan City, it is impossible for Wensi Academy located in Jiangnan not to be affected, and even some students in it are inextricably linked with the big families in Jiangnan, so they are very concerned about the turmoil in Jiangnan's officialdom.

When the stolen money was discovered, they were very clear from top to bottom that Wan Hongjing was finished, and the students who had interests in Wanfu were most worried.

The senior officials of the academy are also paying attention to Gu Zhao and Gu Mu, especially Gu Zhao, because Gu Zhao is considered to have walked out of Wensi Academy and is the pride of Wensi Academy.

"Dean, someone outside said that he was running errands to deliver the letter for his young master, so he has to deliver the letter to the dean himself."

The dean asked in surprise: "But I asked who his son is?"

"He said that his son once studied in the academy for a year."

The dean immediately realized who the person was running for, and hurriedly said, "Quick, please come in."

The person who reported the letter didn't know that Shi Dingshan sent the letter for Gu Zhao, but seeing the dean's attitude, he respectfully invited the person in and put it in front of the dean, and then withdrew.

Sting Shan saluted respectfully: "I am delivering a letter to the dean on behalf of my son. This is my son's letter."

"Wait a minute, the old man will take a look at what is written in your son's letter."

The person who wrote the letter could not have been anyone other than Gu Zhao. Everyone in the academy knew that Gu Zhao had just taken over as the magistrate of Jiangnan, and there was no uproar in the academy. Counting the time, Gu Zhao actually left the academy It didn't take long, but to sit on the position of acting magistrate of Jiangnan so quickly, the speed of promotion was unparalleled.

The dean opened the letter and saw that it was indeed written by Gu Zhao. Now that Gu Tanhua's articles are being circulated in the academy, how could he, as the dean, have not read them.

After reading the entire letter, the dean couldn't help showing surprise. Obviously, what Gu Zhao mentioned in the letter was beyond his expectation, but after a little thought, he could guess Gu Zhao's current situation. Maybe they want to empty their acting magistrate, but this is indeed a good opportunity for the students of the academy, so that they don't just talk about it on paper.

The dean looked at Sting Shan: "I understand what your son means, but I can't decide this matter alone, I need to discuss it with other people. Should you go back and tell your son first, or stay and wait?"

Sting Shan: "Young master told me to bring the results back."

The dean laughed and shook his head: "Your son has a good plan, well, the old man will ask someone to take you down for a rest, and the result will come soon."

"Thank you Dean."

The dean asked someone to take Sting Hill down, and at the same time asked someone to invite the deputy dean and other wives to come over to discuss important matters. After these people came, the dean circulated the letter written by Gu Zhao to them, causing them to exclaim Speaking out, Gu Zhao really acted differently, and actually borrowed someone from their academy.

"Gu Tanhua's behavior is eclectic. I think this matter is very good. Maybe someone can catch Gu Tanhua's eyes." It is impossible for everyone in the academy to be a high school scholar. At that time, they will leave the academy to find their own way out and become mentors around court officials. This is one of them. If you do well, you can be recommended to serve as the parent officer of a county in the future.

"That's right. Some students have good literary talent. The strategies and theories they write are gorgeous enough, but they are a bit empty. Why don't you let them go out and practice for a while."

"Gu Tanhua came from Wensi Academy. Now he asks us for help. How can we refuse? I think it's okay."
