Shi Xianqiao secretly praised, despite the big changes, except for Jiang Wan and Diao Cheng, who looked anxious, Gu Tiexin and Crazy Beggar remained calm and eager to think of countermeasures.
Shi Xianqiao said helplessly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty."
Gu Tiexin raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
"In the west of the city, Chaoyu Muyun Tower."
"Zhao Yu Mu Yun... Hey, Rou Yue, the oiran who played under the spring river in the moonlight back then?"
"Exactly, I checked the whereabouts of a few people who know about this matter. The rest of them have been living in seclusion these days. Only Mr. Lou has been to Chaoyu Muyun Tower once. Apart from him, there will be no one else."
"Does Master Shi mean that the Rouyue girl from Chaoyu Muyun Tower is having a secret affair with a powerful official in the court?"
"It's hard to say whether Mr. Lou let it slip for a moment or was plotted by others, but it has something to do with Chaoyu Muyunlou."
"What is the background of this woman named Rouyue?" Diao Cheng said in a loud voice.
"She was the owner of the moon boat on the Spring River under the moon. She was so beautiful that she was very popular in Zhuocheng. Many princes, grandsons and prodigal knights were reluctant to leave her, and of course there were many important officials in the court." Shi Xianqiao.
Said slowly.
"It's just a woman who actually messed up a plan and failed more than succeeded." The crazy beggar said in a cold voice.
"Perhaps it's no wonder Master Lou, I have seen this woman several times, and I was already astonished back then.
After leaving Chandrayaan, it has a more refined style. The beauty of the country and the fragrance of heaven are hard to match. Now the reputation of Chaoyu Muyun Tower is even better than that of Suoshui Sanchuan.
Mr. Lou is obsessed with it, even if it is wrong, it is understandable."
Gu Tiexin saw that the mad beggar wanted to say more, raised his hand slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It is useless to complain about Mr. Lou now. I wonder where Mr. Lou is now?"
"Hey, this is what I want to discuss with you tonight." Shi Xianqiao said with a solemn expression.
Gu Tiexin felt a chill in his heart and asked: "What happened to Mr. Lou?"
Shi Xianqiao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lou has seldom gone out since we said goodbye to Chaoyu Muyun Tower. He suddenly contracted a serious illness a few days ago. I sent someone to visit him. He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
His life is short."
"What!?" Gu Tiexin and others cried out in horror.
Gu Tiexin said with a surprised look on his face: "Even among the dignified officials of the imperial court, there are people who dare to secretly assassinate!"
"This is Zhuocheng."
Shi Xianqiao let out a long sigh, and Xiao Suo replied, "Human life has always been worthless, whether it is an official in the court or a common citizen.
During the Ping Taishi Rebellion, Master Situ, one of the nine dignitaries, was drowned in the Chenxiang River. Not to mention a mere Zhongshu Ling who became a senior official, I only thought of Chaoyu Muyun Tower after learning about this incident.
"
Gu Tiexin and others looked at each other in shock. They had never thought that the murky water in Zhuo City was so deep. However, they were all very brave people. Although they were surprised, they were not afraid.
Gu Tiexin frowned and said, "Master Lou, this clue has been cut off, leaving only Chaoyu Muyunlou. Did Master Shi find out anything?"
Shi Xianqiao shook his head and said: "Time is too hasty and there is no usable news at the moment."
There was silence in the room, and several people's thoughts were spinning, thinking about what to do next.
"Master Shi, do you have any clues about what I asked you to inquire about a few days ago?"
Shi Xianqiao's eyes lit up and he said, "I didn't expect that my nephew would be better informed than me.
It is true that the day after the fire in Shangzheng Yamen, the Dali Division had already gone to sea to capture official documents. It was rare to be so fast. I am afraid that someone had already planned it, but the court suppressed it and suppressed it.
The person who caught the official document is afraid that even Nephew Gu Xian would not have thought of it."
"Could it be the Inspection Department?"
Shi Xianqiao shook his head and said: "It's not the Inspection Department, it's the current Grand Tutor Ling Shutong."
"How could it be him?"
Gu Tiexin and the crazy beggar were stunned and puzzled. They really didn't expect that the affairs of Shangzheng Yamen would involve the current emperor.
"I can't figure out the reason. It is said that this matter has nothing to do with the Taifu, but this news is absolutely true. It was the Taifu who ordered the Dali Division to temporarily suppress the official document on sea arrests. The mystery behind this is even more intriguing."
"The Dali Division's investigation into Shangzheng Yamen has caused a lot of trouble for the Grand Tutor. Is there no trouble in Zhuocheng?" the mad beggar asked in confusion.
"Could it be that the Taifu designed to capture Third Brother and the others?" Jiang Wan interjected.
"The Taifu is a man of moderation and good at dancing, but he has never been good at using force.
Even if it is a trap set up by the Taifu, there must be someone else behind it. Although there are many powerful ministers and princes in Zhuo City, not many can cover the sky with one hand like this, unless they are people from the palace."
"Does Master Shi mean that it was given by the emperor?" Jiang Wan said with a perked look. If today he saw the strangeness, there might be a glimmer of hope.
"It's hard to say. In addition to Emperor Wanlong, several princes in the palace or powerful concubines in the harem also have this ability."
"Is King Dingtian one of them?" Gu Tiexin asked in a deep voice.
"He was the first person I thought of, but the Inspection Department has been busy with important tasks recently, and the affairs of Dongfu will take a lot of effort.
Besides, King Dingtian has just been involved in the divorce scandal, and he and Taifu are in the same situation, so it makes no sense that Taifu would help King Dingtian to come forward."
"Master Shi, since this is the case, can we ask the Inspection Department to help?"
Jiang Wan said with hope, "King Dingtian is determined to inspect the world, so he won't just sit idly by and ignore it."
"This..." Shi Xianqiao looked confused and said softly, "The inspection department is an official, and we broke into Shangzheng Yamen at night with the intention of violating Dagan's laws. These things cannot be done to others.
Banfenlou also had no friendship with the Inspection Department. King Dingtian was a man of great talent, but he always kept a respectful distance from people in the world.
There are rumors in the world that he has some entanglements with Dayin Yushi and the Demon Sect, but no one on the martial arts road in Zhuocheng has ever made friends with King Dingtian."
Gu Tiexin and others did not expect that the situation in Zhuocheng was so complicated and difficult to discern. They seemed to have found some clues, but they fell into the mist of Yunshan and it was difficult to see the true face.
"Only by finding out the mastermind behind the arson of Shangzheng Yamen can the current situation be reversed. Meng Daxia and several others were captured. According to my opinion, it has nothing to do with the mastermind behind Shangzheng Yamen.
I sent someone to keep an eye on Chaoyu Muyunlou and Mr. Lou to see if there were any clues.
Nephew Gu Xian, I will temporarily put you guys away from the limelight. People from all walks of life in Zhuo City are looking for your whereabouts. We must not make any mistakes again."
Gu Tiexin slowly shook his head and said: "Junior, I would like to thank Master Shi for his kindness, but since they captured a few of my third brother, they just wanted to cast stones to ask for directions. It is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes.
The water in Zhuo City is getting muddier, and there may be other opportunities. I'll go explore Chaoyu Muyun Tower." (To be continued.)
