The Duke's Mansion.

Inside the main hall.

With the arrival of Duke Zhen Guo, Gu Ningya also slowly emerged.

He was wearing a flying fish robe and an embroidered spring knife tied around his waist, with a calm face, waiting here for the old man to appear.

"Is the investigation clear?"

Mr. Gu spoke up, his face as calm as water.

"Dad, the child is incompetent and the investigation did not produce any results."

Gu Ningya lowered his head, looking a little ashamed.

It's just that Mr. Gu didn't blame him, but sat on the Taishi chair.

"It's normal if the investigation doesn't reveal anything."

"If you dare to attack Nian'er, you have obviously put enough effort into it. This matter involves a lot. Some people want our Gu family to cause trouble."

"Fortunately, Nian'er is fine, otherwise, it would be a real trouble."

Gu Yuan didn't care whether it was investigated or not.

This matter is by no means simple.

"Dad, do you really think someone wants to harm Jinnian?"

"No one in the entire Kyoto has such courage?"

Gu Ningya frowned slightly. Ever since Gu Jinnian's accident, he ran back to Kyoto in a hurry.

I also immediately investigated the matter of Gu Jinnian's drowning, but after searching again and again, I couldn't find any clues.

That's why I'm so confused.

"nonsense."

"Don't you know Jinnian's physique?"

"You can't drown if you throw it into the water for half an hour, let alone only half a quarter of an hour."

"Besides, his serious illness, what is the connection with drowning?"

"There must be a conspiracy. Someone is targeting the Gu family, and it is very likely to be related to some people in the court."

Gu Yuan spoke out and said coldly.

Gu Jinnian's drowning exposed too many flaws.

There were many places where he couldn't justify himself. If there was no one behind him, he really wouldn't believe it.

"Dad, do you think there is a possibility?"

Gu Ningya spoke, looking at his old man and speaking carefully.

But before he could continue, Gu Yuan immediately stopped him.

"Don't make random guesses."

"We'll wait until we find evidence."

"Also, regarding Bai Hongguanri's matter, has the Xuan Deng Division found anything out of its investigation?"

Gu Yuan continued to ask.

"Reporting to father, Supervisor Tiansi has already given an answer regarding Bai Hong Guanri."

"The court is about to welcome a traitor. His Majesty has issued an order to have the Minister of Civil Affairs carefully select officials. It may be necessary to conduct inspections in advance."

Gu Ningya answered.

"kindness."

"Since Supervisor Tiansi has taken over the responsibility, this matter can be left alone or not. This matter is by no means a trivial matter."

"The struggle in the court has become more and more intense recently. I will tell your brothers later so that they can live a more stable life."

"The Gu family must not be like this. One wrong step will lead to an abyss. Do you understand?"

Mr. Gu said meaningfully.

"clear."

"Dad, don't worry, the child knows what's going on."

Gu Ningya nodded solemnly. Although he seemed to be idle, he might be someone who joined the Xuan Deng Department, but he was very careful and good at pretending.

"But dad, let's put it aside if there is anyone who is trying to harm Jinnian secretly. The Minister of Rites behaves like this and it has not given our Gu family face anymore."

"It's okay to drown in the year of Tui Jin. If we turn around and frame the blame, are we really going to swallow our anger?"

"According to my son's wishes, I want to trouble him directly. What are you afraid of them doing?"

Gu Ningya said a little angry.

Ever since it was learned that Gu Jinnian had not teased him in any way, the whole Gu family was in a state of rage.

It's a pity that this fire was suppressed by the old man, so it was really difficult for them to vent it.

"The Gu family has never been afraid of others."

"Take this booklet."

"Let Division Xuan Deng conduct a secret investigation and arrest them one by one after obtaining the evidence."

Mr. Gu spoke calmly and took out a roster.

The latter took the roster and opened it at will, then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

There are hundreds of names recorded in the roster, including courtiers, noble families or officials from various places.

But these people are all from the civil service lineage. If they were all captured, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the civil service group.

"Dad, have they all been arrested?"

At this moment, Gu Ningya couldn't help but click his tongue. After all, the top three on the list were third-rank officials, and one of them was even a future Sixth-level Minister.

If all of them were caught, the government and the public in Great Xia would be alarmed, which would be really terrifying.

"Otherwise? Do you really think that a mere direct admission quota can stop the Gu family's mouth?"

"Not to mention that the quota has been obtained, even if it has not been obtained, the Gu family will never give up."

"My father has asked your eldest brother to prepare a memorial. As long as the Hanging Deng Division finds out the evidence, everyone on the list will die."

"Understand?"

Mr. Gu said with an indifferent expression.

"Dad, I understand, I understand, but what if it wasn't them?"

Gu Ningya nodded, but he was still shocked inside. What if he made a mistake?

"No, it's not."

"Lao Liu, please remember, if you are not ruthless, the same thing will happen again next time."

"What I want is for the whole court to be in an uproar, and what I want is for the civil servants to be furious. What I want is for them to do things in secret, which is a counterattack. If not they are doing it secretly, it is also a warning."

"We want them to know that Jinnian just almost died, and the Gu family took action like this. If Jinnian really died, no one can bear such anger."

"Also, now that His Majesty has given orders to rectify the rumors from the outside world, it is now our turn for the Gu family to take action."

"Go and spread some opinions and create balance. You should know this better than anyone else."

Mr. Gu said word for word.

Under the light, the old man's face was gloomy and serious.

"My child understands."

Hearing this, Gu Ningya nodded. Xuan Deng Division is best at manipulating public opinion. Civil servants rely on scholars from all over the world, while Xuan Deng Division relies on local ruffians. If you arbitrarily join in some conspiracy theories, the reputation will be immediately high.

It's polarization.

Mr. Gu calmed down his seriousness and turned to ask about another matter.

"Also, did that person agree to our request?"

Mr. Gu continued to ask.

When he mentioned this, Gu Ningya looked bitter and said.

"Dad, that guy doesn't have enough food or salt."

"I suspect that there is something wrong with his brain. Besides, if he were to be released privately, it would be difficult for me to deal with him."

Gu Ningya said a little uncomfortable.

"Since I asked you to let me go, you can let me go. There are no rules or regulations."

"This is your Majesty's order. Go to the Lantern Department and tell that guy that if you find out the truth, let him go free."

Mr. Gu was a little angry. After cursing, he took out a warrant from his arms and handed it to Gu Ningya.

After receiving the warrant, Gu Ningya immediately beamed.

"That's okay."

"But, dad, let's talk about this. If he still doesn't want to come, don't take your anger out on me. If you bully people like this, don't even think about asking me to help you in the future."

Gu Ningya said seriously.

"roll."

Mr. Gu kicked him, too lazy to pay attention to his son.

Gu Ningya didn't show any discomfort after being kicked. He wiped the ashes from his butt and ran away to talk to Gu Jinnian about something.

After Gu Ningya leaves.
