Chapter 95 Investigate (1)
Li Fu shed tears when she heard the name Qiu Nan. Guo Hao hugged her in his arms and said gently: "Don't worry, you are all mine. When I settle down, I will take Qiu Nan and then we will get married!"
"Um."
This is why Li Fu believes in Guo Hao. In this case, he can hold back, which shows that he...
"What's up to me?"
Li Fu seemed a little uncomfortable, and reached out and touched her. Guo Hao's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Fu'er, don't touch her!"
Li Fu seemed to have thought of something. She is already twenty years old and is a big girl. She should understand everything and can get married in future generations.
"What, are you hiding a dagger on your body?"
Li Fu asked knowingly, and then pinched it again. Guo Hao was almost crying and said, "Fu'er, if you make trouble again, I can't help it."
"Then don't bear it."
"But we haven't gotten married yet!"
Li Fu was silent when she heard this, and her reputation was the greatest respect for women.
"Are you holding it all the time these days?"
"Well, I'll hold them to play cards every day, and I'm so sleepy that I'm so tired in the middle of the night, so I'm not thinking about it."
"It's hard for you."
After saying that, Li Fu actually...
...
...
The next morning, Guo Hao got up with a refreshed look, and Li Fu woke up, Guo Hao laughed and said, "How did you sleep last night?"
"Fortunately, my hands are a little sore."
Guo Hao scratched his head embarrassedly, and someone came to knock on the door.
"Young Master, have you gotten up? It's already noon. The banquet is ready."
Hearing Chen Zhi's voice, Guo Hao coughed and said, "I won't drink today. I want to check the account book in the house."
When Chen Zhi responded and left, he looked contemptuous on his face. He looked at the account book. It was probably because he had a lot of fun last night and couldn't get up.
After Chen Zhi left, Guo Hao really picked up the account book. The account book records were very detailed and the differences were clear. Although he sold a lot of things, the tax was too high, so the income was pitifully small.
Seeing this situation, Guo Hao was not surprised. Chen Zhi dared to blatantly commit fraud, so he was not afraid of finding out. He could only pretend not to know before there was no evidence.
"What's wrong with Brother Hao, is there any problem with the account book?"
Guo Hao shook his head and put it in the account book and said, "There is no problem at all, it's too perfect. It's because of this that the problem with this shop is very big. We don't know who Chen Zhi's backer is. If we can find this person, there is a way to kick Chen Zhi out."
Li Fu nodded when she heard this. She didn't understand these things very well. She was still thinking about what happened last night, and her face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
"By the way, where did Brother Zhao go? Did he tell you?"
"Yes, he said he was visiting his father's friend, and it seemed like a high-ranking official named Su!"
A high-ranking official surnamed Su?
There are two high-ranking officials in the court now named Su, both of whom were prime ministers of the dynasty, one was named Su Yugui and the other was named Su Fengji. I don’t know who Lao Zhao was visiting.
After this scene, Chen Zhi had completely relaxed his vigilance. Guo Hao decided to start an investigation. If Zhao Kuangyin could help, it would be better.
...
Su Mansion, Su Yugui's mansion.
"Nephew Zhao Yuanlang, pay homage to Uncle Su!"
Zhao Kuangyin bowed to Su Fengji. When Su Yugui saw him, he smiled and said, "Nephew, please come on, you will be gone for two years, you are willing to come back!"
Su Yugui and Su Fengji were both prime ministers and both served in the center, but their personalities were completely different. Su Fengji was a murderer, but Su Yugui was humble and had a fair and contemptuous personality, and was quite familiar with Confucianism. He was a pure and honest elder.
"Uncle was joking. Yuen Long went out for a trip. I'll see you once I came back. Uncle is in good health."
Although Zhao Kuangyin was born into a military general family, he liked reading very much. Su Yugui and Zhao Hongyin were officials in the same dynasty and had a good relationship with Guo Wei, so Su Yugui and Zhao Kuangyin were very close, so he was half of his teacher.
"It's okay, how are your father's health? He is a military officer, so his health must be better than mine."
"My uncle was joking. My father is in good condition. This is not a matter of civil servants and military generals. I think my uncle is in good spirits and is not as good as my father."
"Hahaha, you guys have learned to be sloppy when you go out. Have you gained something for this trip?"
After hearing what Su Yugui said, Zhao Kuangyin realized that he was actually quite serious before, and he must have been influenced by Guo Hao.
"When I returned to my uncle, Yuen Long went out this time and saw a lot of things along the way, most of which were tragedies on earth, which was really unbearable."
"Oh, I know this too, but when the late emperor dies, the young emperor finds it difficult to control the ministers, and the court is unstable. Although I am the prime minister, I can't support myself and I am powerless!
The situation in the river is uncertain now. Zhao Siwan and Wang Jingchong are all rebelling, Li Shouzhen is not at ease, the court is unable to provide disaster relief, and I am also helpless."
Su Yugui is a true gentleman. He is not pretending to worry about the country and the people. Zhao Kuangyin empathizes with him and feels sad for him.
"By the way, uncle, before I came back, I met a man who was one year older than me and named Guo Hao.
He is quite talented. When he came back, he handled several things very well. I fell in love with each other and became brothers."
"Oh? Why do you think this name is so familiar?"
"Have you heard of my elder brother?"
"I seem to have heard of it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a moment. What have you encountered? Tell me about it."
So Zhao Kuangyin talked about what he encountered when he came back. Guo Hao started from the overall situation and was dedicated to serving the people. He was indeed very capable.
"Well, after hearing what you said, your elder brother is indeed a talented man. You brothers have already returned, but what are your plans?"
Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and said, "The Zhao family has been officials for generations, and my father and I are both military generals, so I plan to join the army.
As for my elder brother, although he is both civil and military, he is not good at fighting. If he wants to become an official in the court, he will ask his uncle to help him."
Su Yugui did not refuse after hearing this. The court is now employed, and he really needs help, but he is from the imperial examination and does not do much in the back door.
"If he is really talented, I will naturally recommend it, but have he said what he has plans?"
"I have no problem with this yet. There are too many things I have encountered along the way, and no one knows what will happen next."
"Since that's the case, you go back and ask him first. If he is willing to enter the court, I can think of a way."
Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed to him, "Thank you so much for uncle!"
After leaving the Su Mansion, Zhao Kuangyin came to Chunxiang Tower, hesitated for a while and walked in, and a girl immediately greeted her.
"This young man is a face-to-face student. It's the first time I'll be with you..."
Zhao Kuangyin had never been to such a place, so he was a little nervous, his face turned red, and he pushed away the crowd and said, "I'm here to find someone!"
"Looking for someone? Is there a friend here?"
"Mr. Chen Jun and Mr. Chen!"
When he heard it was Chen Jun, the madam smiled. Guo Hao had been living here for several days. He was her big client and his friends could not neglect.
"Young Master Chen is upstairs, I will take you there now!"
After saying that, he took Zhao Kuangyin to the second floor, came to Guo Hao's room door, knocked on the door, "Mr. Chen, someone is looking for you, saying it's your friend!"
Guo Hao was settled in the house at this time. Although the account book was fine, if you look carefully, there might be something wrong.
"Here you come."
Guo Hao walked to the door, opened the door and smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, why are you here!"
Zhao Kuangyin echoed: "Brother Chen, you come to Daliang and don't inform me. Do you don't recognize me as a brother!"
"How dare you? Come in quickly, the madam quickly prepares some wine and food. This is my brother!"
Seeing that the two were so familiar, the madam naturally did not dare to neglect and asked her to prepare wine and food, and Zhao Kuangyin also successfully appeared.
When she got into the house, Li Fu also sat at the table to read the account book. Although she didn't understand very much, Guo Hao could understand it after teaching her for a long time.
"Brother, are these the books of the grocery store? What are you finding out?"
"No, this account book is obviously fake. I plan to go to Chen Zhi's house in the evening to see what I can find."
When he is weak, Guo Hao has to use some shameful means. These days he has made many indirect moves and learned about the situation from Chen Zhi, but to kick Chen Zhi away, evidence is needed.
"Okay, I'll pick you up that night, and we'll meet at Chen Zhi's house."
"Okay, with Fu'er covering me, I don't have to worry about being discovered. Everything will be seen tonight!"
