Gu Chuntang had been waiting for a long time. He stood up and saluted.
"My dear, there is no need to be polite, just tell me what it is." Qin Yundao said
"I'm going to tell you, Your Majesty, what the humble minister did when he came here."
"The first thing is that the Xiliang Grain Station is fully operational and has met your expectations."
"Master Guo Ziyun has made great contributions and will return to the imperial capital in three days."
"The second thing is about picking flower drums for Cao Hui. Wei Chen has already gone to comfort the family of the innocent deceased, and promised to the powerful people that he will catch Cao Hui soon and torture him to death. He will pay for his life with his life."
Hearing this, Qin Yun nodded.
"It's a good thing that Mr. Guo is back. The construction of Heya cannot be done without him, the Minister of Household Affairs."
"When the time comes, I will send the imperial army to pick him up in person. I will arrange a reception banquet for him to commend him for his contribution to the Xiliang Grain Station."
"As for Cao Hui, I already have an idea, so you don't have to worry, dear."
Gu Chuntang nodded, and then sighed again: "Master Guo is really the pillar of the country. He went to Xiliang and arrested more than 20 corrupt officials along the way."
"He handled the issue of Xiliang's army rations extremely well. He secretly accepted the surrender of several Xiliang generals on behalf of His Majesty, which once made Sima Zong so angry that he regarded it as a fish bone stuck in his throat!"
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Old man, why didn't you mention these things in your letter to me?"
Gu Chuntang said: "Master Guo is honest and not greedy for merit, so he did not report it."
Qin Yun nodded secretly, patted the dragon chair heavily, and said with emotion: "I am a humble minister!"
"If you say so, I am well prepared. Mr. Guo is a serious enemy of the enemy and an important financial hub of Daxia. His safety cannot be ignored!"
"Immediately pass an order to King Zhenbei and ask him to send troops to escort Mr. Guo out of the northwest."
Gu Chuntang nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Yun looked at the sky and said: "Let's go, my beloved, accompany me to walk in the snow. By the way, we can talk about the current development direction of the imperial court and the strategy of worrying about dangers!"
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" Gu Chuntang smiled lightly. Even as the prime minister, he was still so easy-going.
…
Blue County.
A certain snow-capped mountain with howling cold wind.
Cao Hui's face turned red, and his triangular eyes flashed with dangerous anger!
He screamed in the snow forest: "You bastard, you dare to capture my wife and children, you are the dog emperor, I want you to know what the price is!"
Phew!
A disdainful laugh sounded, and Gongsun Zan walked out of the snow.
Cao Hui looked at it with fierce eyes and said coldly: "Do you think it's funny?"
"Of course it's funny!" Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows and hummed: "You kill a few civilians and you want an emperor to pay the price. Don't you think it's childish?"
"The contradiction of public anger will not be directed at the emperor, but at Ni'erhui and you, Cao Hui."
"The prime minister just walked away and settled the matter. You are still here making people pay the price, tsk tsk."
The frivolous and disdainful tone made Cao Hui angry!
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he drew the sword from his waist in an instant. The sword roared with snow and was placed on Gongsun Zan's neck.
"Although you saved me once, you have to clean your mouth, otherwise I will still kill you!"
The cold tone was full of murderous intent.
But Gongsun Zan was not afraid at all, but said quietly: "Is this how you treat your allies?"
"Your wife and children are now invited to the palace, which means that the emperor has discovered something. It is difficult to rescue her. Anyway, she will die anyway. My lord asked me to show you a clear way."
Cao Hui snorted: "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"
"Coincidence? Do you believe it?" Gongsun Zan asked.
Qingpiaopiao added: "As far as I know, the emperor is extremely lustful and likes mature women the most. As long as he likes them, they will all be included in the harem."
"Master Cao, think about it, what kind of insult will your unknowing wife suffer?"
The veins on Cao Hui's forehead popped out, and the long sword advanced even further, almost slicing Gongsun Zan's neck.
Gritting his teeth: "Shut up!!"
Gongsun Zan stood with his hands behind his hands and his eyes were sharp: "My wife and children are gone. I can marry again, but if I miss the opportunity, I will never have it again. Do you want to really take revenge on the emperor and make him feel sad?"
Cao Hui's eyes were as big as bells, he was breathing heavily and looked at Gongsun Zan.
He knew very well that what Gongsun Zan said was true.
The emperor secretly captured the Qi family in order to force him to submit. Going to the palace to rescue her would be like throwing an egg at a stone. It would be better to hide in the dark and give the emperor a head-on blow!
His heart bleeds when he thinks of his wife and children, especially the emperor's lustful behavior which makes him even more angry!!
"Tell me how to truly and effectively retaliate against the Dog Emperor so that he can feel the pain."
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan smiled slightly.
He stretched out his fingers to remove his knife and looked to the west.
He said: "In three days, an important person next to the emperor will come back from the northwest. You can ambush him secretly and kill him."
Cao Hui frowned: "He's a feudal official again? Does your master use me as a sword?"
Gongsun Zan said calmly: "Everyone gets what they need. My master will fully assist you with whatever you need."
"On the evening of three days from now, just lay an ambush at the Linshu Pipeline."
"I advise you to kill him directly instead of exchanging one person for another. Even if you do, you won't be able to escape once Cao Hui is exposed. You can't even beat a little leader of Jinyiwei."
"Today's emperor is no longer what he used to be. If he wants revenge, he can only do it in secret. Otherwise, he will just attack the stone with an egg."
After saying that, Gongsun Zan slowly left.
Cao Hui's gray beard trembled, and his fists clenched loudly.
Those triangular eyes reflected a ruthless light, and he said hoarsely: "Emperor Dog, originally there was no harm in the well, but you touched my brother, my wife and my children!"
"You forced me to do this, let's see!"
…
Royal Palace.
Qin Yungang sent Gu Chuntang away.
Wuming brought back Mrs. Qi and her two young sons at night.
"Your Majesty, he has been secretly brought back and placed in Zongzheng Temple." Wuming said.
Qin Yun nodded and asked, "Did you encounter no threats on the way? Especially in Xingnan Buzhuang, are there any hidden masters?"
Wuming shook his head and frowned: "I didn't find anything unusual."
"It's strange to say that Mrs. Qi is completely confused and doesn't seem to know anything. She is still afraid to ask her humble position if the Buzhuang business is involved in any lawsuit."
"After some observation, this Qi family should be innocent."
Qin Yun rubbed his eyebrows: "What about her husband? How did she explain?"
Wuming added: "Ms. Qi said that her husband has limited legs and feet, but he occasionally goes out for a few days. Although her husband is the son-in-law, he is actually the one who calls the shots in the family, and M.S. Qi does not dare to interfere."
"When she disappeared this time, she thought she was just going out to play."
Qin Yun frowned for a moment. Has the clue led to a dead end?
Unless Wang Hui arrests him, the Ni'er Society will not be destroyed, and Chaotian Temple and Gongsun Zan cannot be traced. The entire winter plan will be completely stuck in this link!
"Your Majesty, what should we do with Mrs. Qi and her young son now? Do we want to be tortured and continue to interrogate?" Wuming asked.
