The woman held the cloak and saluted slightly.
The woman's name is Yun Niang, who was originally the number one of Yongle City's painting boats. happy.
Facing the sudden change, Yunniang was flustered at first, but she didn't know that the life of wandering since she was a child was still affected by Gu Qinghuan's calmness with the bow and crossbow facing each other without changing her expression. She stood up calmly and sat wrapped in a cloak Opposite Gu Qinghuan.
At this moment, there was movement on the shore.
Jinyiwei Qianhu of Yongle City boarded the cruise ship that was docked, let his men row the boat, and slowly approached the cruise ship that Lu Bai was on.
The owner of Yongle City, the West Factory, and the people from the East Factory all stood on the pier, sitting behind the town, and met Lu Bai's eyes at the same time.
Before approaching, Qianhu in Yongle City shouted from a distance: "Lu Qianhu, I have admired your name for a long time, and I have always wanted to find a chance to visit Yancheng, but I didn't want you to come to Yongle City. Li is far away to welcome you."
Lu Bai glanced at the heavy soldiers on the shore, and said with a smile, "Li Qianhu, it's not that you are too far away to welcome, but it's too grand to welcome you."
"Haha." Li Qianhu cupped his hands and apologized, "Brother Lu, you misunderstood. I heard from my subordinates that the murderer who was assassinated by the envoy of the Northern Dynasty in Yongle City last year had a clue, and he appeared on this cruise ship today. I was anxious." , and brought the brigade to come.”
He smiled embarrassedly at Lu Bai, "I never imagined that you, Brother Lu, are related to this case. It is really my subordinates who were negligent and didn't tell you. If not, I will directly ask Brother Lu to drink tea and ask you to understand." That's it, why are you making such a fuss?"
When Li Qianhu said this, he was passing by the admiral of Xichang's boat.
Li Qianhu didn't hear the sound of fighting and sawdust flying across the boat, but looked at Lu Bai sincerely.
Lu Bai just wanted to say, since you are so sincere, why don't you remove all these people.
Before he could say anything, Li Qianhu smiled again and said, "How about it, brother Lu, come with me to Qianhu's office for a drink of tea, and explain the case clearly?"
Perhaps, Li Qianhu felt that his words were not important, so he added another sentence, "Brother Lu, this is also my responsibility, as a last resort. This case is not trivial. The person who was registered in front of the Holy One died from the Northern Dynasty military." People, so I hope that Brother Lu will read it because we are all thousands of households, so don't embarrass me too much."
After speaking, the boat stopped at Li Qianhu's feet, and he stretched out his hand sideways, "Brother Lu, please."
Lu Bai's complexion changed slightly.
There is one thing to say, what Li Qianhu said is true. When he came last year, Lu Bai did kill an envoy from the Northern Dynasty named Shopkeeper Dugu. Before killing him, I heard them talking in the alley. no.
Therefore, it is normal for Li Qianhu to ask him for questioning and invite him to drink tea because of this case.
But with this situation, this timing, based on the relationship between Lu Bai and Yongle City Lord, it would be very abnormal if he followed.
Lu Bai can be sure that if he follows this, he will never return, not to mention his life, and the people around him.
But if not-
Lu Bai looked around at the impenetrable city guards on both sides of the strait again. Their swords were cold and their eyes were cold. Lu Bai was sure that these people would rush up to invite Lu Bai in their own way in an instant.
Of course, as practitioners of the Sky Breaker Realm, not to mention these people, even if their number were doubled, Lu Bai would still not be able to be invited.
However, what City Lord Lu and the others want is not to ask Lu Bai to move.
What they want is for Lu Bai to fight these city guards, Jin Yiwei, and kill them. It's best to kill blood like a river!
As long as Lu Bai kills someone and makes noise, and these Jin Yiwei are well-known teachers, then Lu Bai is plotting treason!
Those who conspire against will be punished by everyone.
Lu Bai's official career in Rencheng will come to an end, and he will lose the opportunity and value of being a sharp sword in the hands of the Eight Great Factions. It is impossible for the Eight Great Factions to use rebels to deal with Yiqiu Villa. faction consensus and bottom line.
As far as Lu Bai and Gu Qinghuan are concerned, without the mutual utilization of their official career and the Eight Great Factions, it will be even more difficult for Lu Bai to raise his level. They will not be able to avenge the people of Shuobei City, and they will not be able to reverse the case for the soldiers who died in the battle.
The reputations of sword immortals, sword gods, and even the gods will not be stained, and they can still be high above the ground, like a flawless lotus flower, enjoying the world's incense and offerings.
No matter how high his realm is, Lu Bai can only wander in the wilderness, or drift overseas, becoming a fallen genius.
He might be able to be a valley owner safely in Zhonggu, but he couldn't go too far.
If not, a thunderous blow from the power of the Eight Great Sects, Neishutang, and Yiqiu Villa, which are within the rules, is enough to destroy Lu Bai physically and mentally.
Lu Bai's face darkened.
Well calculated!
It can be said that it is a loss whether Lu Bai goes or not.
Sure enough, Li Qianhu, Jinyi Guard of Yongle City extended his hand to invite again: "Brother Lu, please, please don't make things difficult for me, otherwise, as colleagues, we will not look good to each other."
There was already a threat in his tone.
"Master Qianhu, I'm sorry, your case is important, but no matter how important it is, it is not as important as our case."
Gu Qinghuan stood up.
She walked up to Lu Bai and handed the peeled melon seeds to Lu Bai. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stood against the railing, knocking the melon seeds while looking at Li Qianhu.
When Li Qianhu saw Gu Qinghuan, he experienced it for a while, and then he was a little apprehensive.
The city lord said that the most difficult person is not Lu Bai, but this Miss Gu Si who is famous in Jinghua.
He stabilized his mind, and was about to ask what case Lu Bai was working on——
boom!
It seemed that a shell had exploded on the admiral's boat, and the hull was torn apart. Two figures jumped out of the mist and sawdust, and each stood on the remaining half of the hull.
A father-in-law stood on the broken hull near Li Qianhu.
His hair is disheveled, his clothes are disheveled, and his eyes are sinister, but he still can't hide his handsomeness, especially his body, which is neither fat nor thin, and has a little abdominal muscle, which looks like the traffic star little fresh meat that Lu Bai has seen in his previous life.
What's even more criminal is that this guy's eyes are so seductive that many little girls can't help but regret why he is an eunuch.
When the man saw it, he would say, fortunately, he was a eunuch.
If the handsomeness of this eunuch is still in the human category, the guy Erha is holding on the other broken hull is not so handsome as a human being.
He was handsome and effeminate, if he wasn't naked, with things as thin as earthworms hanging on his body, Lu Bai would most likely regard him as a woman.
Lu Bai glanced at them, then back at Yunniang, suddenly realized.
Now he knows what Erha said about playing in the city, and he really knows how to play.
Li Qianhu turned his head to glance at the admiral, and said in a strange tone: "Is this an important case handled by Lu Qianhu?"
Gu Qinghuan nodded without hesitation, "That's right."
"Joke!" Admiral Xichang said. He turned over and landed on the cruise ship where Li Qianhu was, took a piece of clothing from Jin Yiwei next to him and put it on, "I don't know what case Miss Gu Si murdered Ben Admiral. .”
Li Qianhu also reminded Lu Bai, "Brother Lu, don't forget, this is Yongle City, not Yancheng, and it is said to handle the case—hmph! When will Yongle City get the people from Yancheng to handle the case!"
Gu Qinghuan took his time.
After she ate a melon seed, "The case we are handling can only be handled by Jin Yiwei in Yancheng, because—"
Gu Qinghuan put the melon seed skins in Lu Bai's hands, "Lu Qianhu suspects that you are plotting treason!"
"what?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to plot rebellion?" Li Qianhu and the admiral of Xichang were both taken aback.
Gu Qinghuan said calmly: "Because of the vast territory of this dynasty, many places were built fortifications, and the imperial court was out of reach. Therefore, the Jinyi Guards who are responsible for supervising and inspecting hundreds of officials implemented a joint sitting system. If the neighboring city rebelled, the Jinyi Guards in this city would sit together."
She first brought out the law and told them that it was not impossible for Lu Bai to handle cases in Yongle City.
Li Qianhu's face was gloomy, "Speak clearly, who is plotting rebellion?"
Gu Qinghuan took out a piece of paper from her body, it was the "Letter to the People of Yongle" that she wrote yesterday, without changing her face, she said: "This is the evidence of the crime, we obtained it half a month ago, it clearly stated, The city lord of Yongle City colludes with the Yongle factory guards, has no eyes on the law of the king, the court, or the emperor, measures the material resources of the whole city of Yongle, and unites the love of the Qiushanzhuang family—”
The admiral of Xichang was furious, "It's nonsense! We are loyal to the Holy Majesty, and we dare not make the slightest difference. Why do we have no court, no emperor, and nonsense!"
Gu Qinghuan smiled slightly, "Really?"
She felt that the only way to prove whether the admiral of Xichang was lying was to check the accounts, "We originally planned to arrest you and go back and interrogate you quietly. Now that we know everything, let's check it openly."
At the end, Gu Qinghuan asked the admiral, "Do you dare to let Cha?"
The admiral of the West Factory was silent.
There is no need to investigate at all, this is an obvious fact.
Not only the silver from Yongle City, but also the salt tax money paid by Yancheng back then, was also handed over to Yiqiu Villa.
The admiral of Xichang tried his best to calm himself down, and said word by word: "You don't need to check, these sages know all about it!"
"is it?"
Gu Qinghuan didn't think so, "Does the sage know that after he changed the control of the salt business from the West Factory, the money sold for Yancheng's salt will still go to Yiqiu Villa in all likelihood?"
Admiral Xichang's face sank.
I really don't know today.
Gu Qinghuan smiled slightly, this was the problem.
The current emperor is greedy for money.
In other words, at least in Gu Qinghuan's own opinion, he was greedy for money out of necessity, and the fastest way to get money was Yantie.
From last year to today, the current emperor has changed the Xichang to control the salt affairs, just to draw as much money as possible into his own pocket.
Yongle City is an important place for the salt industry.
There is a lot of money, so it is naturally the emperor's focus.
However, Mr. Xichang sent his godson to Yongle City, and Mr. Xichang was promoted by the Supreme Emperor after joining the Lu family.
Gu Qinghuan felt that this was very subtle.
There is no doubt that the Supreme Emperor needs money to practice in Yiqiu Villa.
Sometimes it's not what he needs, it's what he needs.
As the person he promoted, Xichang Changgong is obliged to get money for his master.
But as the saying goes, one mountain cannot have two tigers, and one country cannot have two kings.
Now the head of the Southern Dynasty is the current emperor, Xichangchang is caught in the middle of a dilemma, so he simply let his godson return to Yongle City, to have a dark time.
Even if the Holy Majesty knew about it and knew that his father had taken it, he probably wouldn't make much of it.
This is a tacit understanding, an unspeakable tacit understanding, but Gu Qinghuan wants to clarify this tacit understanding.
The admiral of Xichang could only say coldly: "Even so, it's not treason, right?"
Gu Qinghuan nodded, "It's true that it wasn't treason, but it wasn't you who conspired to investigate—"
Gu Qinghuan raised his head and looked at City Lord Yongle at the pier on the other side.
Her gaze was determined.
come on!
Going back decades of deliberations, down to imperial power party struggles, I will burn them all for you today.
Chapter 294 Ascension
Li Qianhu followed Gu Qinghuan's gaze, and his heart shivered.
"City Lord, conspiracy?"
Li Qianhu felt that Gu Qinghuan was doing something, or something big.
City Lord Lu, who was on the pier, probably felt that the matter was not simple, so he took a cruise ship and approached them.
At this time, the sun is shining brightly.
Gu Qinghuan was tall and slender, and his clothes were better than snow. He stood against a railing and had the wind blowing his blue hair, giving him a burst of heroism.However, upon closer inspection, the body is as plump as jade, the eyebrows are as light as smoke, and the eyes are looking forward and looking forward, making people dazzled and fascinated.
Standing there, Gu Qinghuan naturally became the center of attention.
Everyone was quiet, waiting for Gu Qinghuan to speak.
"The lord of Yongle City turned Yongle City into the city of the Lu family, isn't this plotting treason!" Gu Qinghuan's cold voice was exceptionally clear above the river.
"This--"
Li Qianhu was stunned for a moment.
Because what Gu Qinghuan said was the truth, but Yongle City was like this when the Supreme Emperor was still in power, how could it be counted as treason, let alone a lot of money was used by the Supreme Emperor.
"Miss Gu Si, there is a limit to nonsense, what is my Yongle City, let you play around?" A gloomy voice came from behind Li Qianhu, and it was the cruise ship of the owner of Yongle City.
He understood that Gu Qinghuan was holding on to the fact that Yongle City's money had been given to Yiqiu Villa, and was going to make a fuss about using one mountain to accommodate two tigers.
Gu Qinghuan smiled slightly, "This is the second point I want to talk about, you wait to coerce the Supreme Emperor to order the princes, to the point of disobeying the emperor's orders, under the guise of the Supreme Emperor's orders, to commit rebellious acts, and even try to override the imperial power! "
Lu Bai listened dazedly from the side, but he still understood the agreement, and he shouted: "Isn't this plotting treason!"
