Chapter 59
"What does Lord Xiao mean? Is Song wrong?
Xiao Yan stood up and bowed to Li Jing, saying, "Song Xiang is right, but according to the officials, according to what Song Xiang said, if Guo Hao is a spy, then the Chen family will be very suspicious?"
"It's true!"
Xiao Yan snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "As far as the officials know, the Chen family has been in Jiangnan for a hundred years and has always been kind and generous to benefit the people. The late emperor also provided funding when he started his business.
Later, the head of the Chen family died young and passed the position to his young son. His two uncles were dissatisfied and naturally had some struggles, which had nothing to do with Guo Hao.
As for Chen Lin and Guo Hao, they had gone south from the northern country together and were attacked by bandits in Yingzhou. They were lucky enough to die, and then they became a friendship.
As for whether Guo Hao is a spy, the subordinates dare not speak nonsense, so please make clear decisions from Your Majesty!”
After saying that, Xiao Yan retreated to the team, Song Qiqiu looked at Xiao Yan. He knew that he did it on purpose, but he couldn't say anything.
Everyone knew that the two sides were not dealing with each other, but fortunately, Xiao Yan was just speaking for the Chen family and did not excuse Guo Hao.
After the ministers finished speaking, they were waiting for the emperor to express their opinions. Li Jing analyzed Song Qiqiu's words and felt that even if it had nothing to do with the Chen family, he could be convicted of his crime just by making friends with the royal children and affecting his ideas.
"Since that's the case, Guo Hao is not good at it and intends to make friends with the prince, just..."
"Father..."
Before Li Jing finished speaking, Li Yu suddenly ran over and knelt down and said, "Father, please spare Mr. Guo, he is not a spy!"
Before, Guo Hao asked him to learn to avoid suspicion, so he kept hiding outside the hall, but Li Yu also knew that if he didn't come out at this time, his father must have given the order, and everything would be too late.
"Congjia, why are you here for? You won't go back to me!"
"Father, Mr. Guo is really not a spy. He came to the Tang Dynasty just to take refuge. He also did business for his sons. The queen mother can testify about this!"
"What?"
After Li Yu said that, all the ministers were surprised. Guo Hao did business for Li Yu, how could this be possible?
"From Jia, do you know where this is? Don't talk nonsense!"
"When I go back to my father, my son has not said nonsense. The contract of the Chen family's Juxian Pavilion is here. If you don't believe that my father can verify it!"
After saying that, Li Yu took out the contract, which was Guo Hao's share. Now Li Yu understands why Guo Hao gave him the contract, and this is the time.
An eunuch presented the contract and saw that it was Guo Hao's name on it. He thought that Li Yu is not suitable for appearance now, so it is normal for Guo Hao to replace him.
After seeing it, Li Jing waved his hand. At this time, a eunuch came over and passed a message to Li Jing's eunuch. Li Jing's face changed slightly when he heard this.
"Emperor, the queen ordered someone to pass on the message, and Guo Hao was indeed doing things for her."
Looking at Li Yu below, he looked at the ministers again, and recalled what Guo Hao said before.
"Have you forgotten the Xuanwu Gate Incident!"
Li Jing's face was light and dark, and the ministers did not dare to speak. Li Yu knelt down anxiously, and Li Jing sneered in his heart.
"What a great Guo Hao, who has such great ability, not only convinced me, but also moved my wife and children. I really can't keep you."
Li Jing thought so in his heart, but the queen and Li Yu still had to give him face, so he spoke, "I know this, but Guo Hao is skilled in scheming and inappropriate in his heart. I think he has some talent and knowledge, so he can save him from death.
Not long ago, he wrote a poem, and the homesickness in it was beyond words. I will just let him go back to his hometown this time!"
"Father!"
"No need to say anything more."
After saying that, Li Jing left the court directly, and the ministers didn't take it seriously. Just a little man, even if he died, it didn't matter to them.
...
When the news reached Guo Hao's house, Guo Hao was stunned at first, then laughed.
"Okay, I actually want to drive me away. I hope you don't regret it!"
The emperor issued an order to ask Guo Hao to leave immediately. The world was leaving, Xiaoxue, Li Yu, Chen Lin, Qiu Nan, Chen Ning'er, and Zhou Ehuang all came to see him off.
"It's snowing, go back."
Guo Hao felt that he didn't care. Anyway, Nan Tang would be gone in a short while. Then no one could stop him if he wanted to come back.
But Qiunan cried with the rain and wanted to go with Guo Hao, but Guo Hao refused him seriously because everything had just begun.
"Brother Chen, I'll leave it to you. I'll come back to see you if I have the chance. You can't bully her!"
"Don't worry, Brother Guo, I will treat him as my own sister, and I will ensure that I take good care of her!"
Guo Hao frowned when he heard this and said, "Why is it sister? You should call him sister-in-law!"
Chen Lin was speechless and curled his lips, "Take it aside, you are not as old as you are, but you are older. It's enough for me to call you Brother Guo. You want Qiunan to take advantage of me."
Guo Hao punched him in the chest after hearing this and said, "I will leave the business to you, don't let me look down on you."
Chen Lin focused on the key points.
The two of them were just a joke, just to be a adjustment before separation, Qiu Nan burst into tears and laughed, but he still couldn't help but feel sad.
"Brother Hao, you must come and pick me up!"
Qiunan said word by word, Guo Hao nodded seriously, and then looked at Li Yu.
"Congjia, don't forget our agreement, don't focus on poetry and essays, don't forget the way of the world."
"I understand, Brother Guo."
Guo Hao touched his head, took a deep breath, waved goodbye to everyone, and left without looking back.
Qiunan's cry gradually became louder and louder, and finally resounded between heaven and earth, and could not dissipate for a long time...
...
Starting from Jinling, Guo Hao originally planned to go north directly and ride on a horse on the official road, but Guo Hao still did not relax his vigilance.
Sure enough, although he had been expelled, someone still followed him. It seemed that he would not give up if he did not kill him!
Guo Hao walked north for a while, suddenly turned his head and headed west. The people following him were surprised because they had already ambushed in front, but Guo Hao suddenly changed his lane.
Guo Hao rode his horse and wanted to use this to get rid of the pursuers. The people behind him could not run after following him for a while and could only turn around and go back to report the news.
At this time, he was still in the territory of Southern Tang and had not yet escaped from danger. Guo Hao just wanted to rest as soon as possible, and then headed to the border for a little rest.
To the west of Jinling is Chuzhou of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Guo Hao walked for two days before he arrived at the border, but a group of soldiers stopped him.
"Stop, who are you!"
Guo Hao got off the horse and smiled and said, "Go back to Jun Ye, the young man is a businessman from Jiangning. He wants to go to the north to do business."
Guo Hao didn't dare to tell the truth. He was always on guard. One hand seemed to be holding a horse, but in fact he was touching his black iron stick.
At this time, an officer took a portrait, compared it to Guo Hao, took a step back and said loudly: "Come here, catch him, he is a spy from the north!"
Guo Hao's reaction was faster. He pulled out the iron rod and forced the soldiers to fly away, then ran westward, intending to take the opportunity to enter the Later Han Dynasty.
However, a pair of cavalry suddenly appeared in the north, with only more than ten cavalry. They followed Guo Hao but did not launch an attack. It seemed that they were intentionally not allowed to escape, so they looked at him from the north.
Guo Hao felt a slump in his heart, feeling that the other side didn't want him to leave Nan Tang alive, but he didn't want to kill him blatantly, so he made such a arrangement.
Guo Hao continued to go west. This time he did not dare to enter Haozhou City, but just walked outside the city. At this time, a group of people appeared in front of him, surrounding Guo Hao.
"You really look down on me. You actually sent so many people to kill me!"
Guo Hao didn't dismount, but directly raised the iron rod on the horse, intending to rush over with one go.
The people who surrounded him and killed him did not speak nonsense and ordered to take action directly. Guo Hao grabbed the horse and swung the iron rod and swept it. Two unlucky ones were knocked away, but Guo Hao's horse was tripped by the squat.
At the critical moment, Guo Hao's balance force played a role. Seeing his body relying on inertia, Guo Hao put the iron rod in front, rolled and fell to the ground, and soon stood up again.
After losing the horse, Guo Hao did not dare to be careless, and he was so energetic that the iron rod circled and the wind was full of wind!
Several cavalrymen in the distance watched this scene, and one of them said to the leader: "Captain, should we take action?"
The captain said: "No, our mission is to prevent him from leaving the border. If we kill him, we don't need to do anything!"
After the captain said that, the cavalry fell into silence again. Guo Hao felt relieved when he found that they had not taken action.
Looking at the remaining few people, Guo Hao took a deep breath, then raised the iron rod and smashed it around. The gaze of the captain in the distance turned calm and surprised.
