I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Gu Ming's rise is too fast, and the limelight is too strong. Although many people sincerely admire him, there are also many people who are jealous or dissatisfied.

After all, the candidates who went to Beijing to rush for the exam this time came from all over the country, not just candidates from Jiangnan.

Many of them are arrogant.

"Brother Gu, it's time to wait for you, the room has already been booked for you."

"Thank you brother Yun!"

"Brother Gu is too polite"

After some politeness, Gu Ming first went to the room to put down the package, and then came to the courtyard to sit down and drink tea and chat.

"Brother Gu, you've probably experienced a lot of wonderful things along the way, right?"

“There are indeed some”

"Haha, then you must tell us well later."

When the chat was about the same, the four of them went to the inn lobby to have lunch together.

After lunch, Gu Ming ordered the assistant to fetch a bucket of hot water and take a comfortable bath.

Afterwards, he changed into clean clothes, spread out a pen and paper, and began to write his daily routine.

After all, this is an important way to earn experience for leveling up, no matter how busy you are, you have to find time to complete it first.

In the evening, there is nothing to say, naturally I found a place to have a good drink with Ma Yun and others

In this world, there is only one type of scholar who can't drink: those who are too poor to afford alcohol.

In the morning of the next day, Gu Ming came to visit Shangshu Mansion again.

After some conversations, it was learned that the Wei family had collapsed, and none of the main line disciples escaped.

If nothing else happens, they will be charged with treason.

This crime is so serious that it can never be turned over forever.

As for the people from the Western Regions in Dafeng County, they have all been brought under control. They will be strictly checked and released only after they are confirmed to be serious businessmen.

Otherwise, it will be treated as an enemy country and dealt with carefully.

"Gu Jieyuan, this time you can be regarded as a meritorious service for the court. I have discussed with Master Yang, and when this case is concluded, I will make a contribution in front of the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ming immediately waved his hands: "My lord, this is really unnecessary!"

Fu Tianchou couldn't help being surprised: "Why don't you use it? No one else can ask for such an opportunity, but you still refuse it?"

"Master Fu, you also know that Xiaosheng came to Beijing this time to take part in the general examination. To ask for credit for Xiaosheng at such a time, I'm afraid it will attract scandal from some interested people."

"Ah, that's right"

Fu Tianchou couldn't help but patted his forehead, with an expression of sudden realization.

"Indeed, I haven't thought of this yet."

The examination is a major event in the court, and the whole country, military and officials, I don't know how many people are paying attention.

It can be said that this is a very sensitive timing.

If one takes credit for Gu Ming at this time, it will definitely push him to the forefront.

Even if he is in high school by that time, some people will definitely think that he has good hands and eyes, not because of his real skills, but because of his background.

"That's fine, then let's not mention this matter for now, and we will talk about it later when we have a chance."

Gu Ming smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Fu!"

After chatting for a few words, Fu Tianchou couldn't help but said: "By the way, the book officer you asked someone to bring over last time sent part of it to the palace, and the rest were given to the colleagues.

To be honest, most people still prefer your book, including this old man, who also read it with great interest, but "

Speaking of this, Fu Tianchou couldn't help sighing: "There are still some old officials in this court who are dissatisfied, and they gossip and criticize in every possible way in front of the emperor.

What kind of mentality they have, I know very well in my heart.

It's nothing more than jealous that you are too young and rising too fast, so I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

In fact, these old ministers have been fighting openly and secretly on weekdays, each of them is arrogant and arrogant, and they look down on each other.

But this time, there is an unexpected harmony in the court, and it means that they will join forces to suppress you."

Hearing these words, Gu Ming couldn't help frowning.

He believed that Fu Tianchou was by no means alarmist, and he might even have reservations.

It can also be imagined from this that some old scholars in the court did not know how many nasty things they said openly and secretly.

However, Gu Ming had expected such a result.

Of the classics such as Romance of the West Chamber, A Dream of Red Mansions, and Jin Ping Mei in previous lives, which of them would not suffer from ill-fated fate after its publication?

His situation is considered good. This is because the current dynasty is relatively more open-minded, there are few word prisons and the like, and the people's customs are relatively more open.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for reminding me that Xiaosheng will be more on guard against these people in the future."

"You don't have to worry too much. There are many ministers in the court who refute in court. Moreover, many empresses in the harem also like to read your book."

Gu Ming actually knows Fu Tianchou's psychology well.

To put it bluntly, this is also a means of wooing him, letting him know that there are turbulent undercurrents in the court, and it is impossible to be alone, and he must form an alliance with others.

Do you have to guess who to form an alliance with?

But for Gu Ming, the court struggle is not terrible, the most terrifying thing is the thousand-year-old centipede hidden in the palace.

That is the majestic guardian of the country!

As soon as he had this thought, Gu Ming couldn't help probing and said: "By the way, Mr. Fu, I heard that the protector of the country has profound magical powers and has the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground. I don't know if it is true or not?"

"Fa Zhang?" Fu Tianchou couldn't help frowning: "That's right, Fa Zhang is indeed powerful and deeply favored by the emperor, but"

Having said that, he paused again.

"Just what?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, by the way, it's getting late, why don't you stay and have a few drinks together?"

Since Fu Tianchou didn't want to mention Pudu Cihang, Gu Ming couldn't ask further.

However, it can also be guessed from this that the old demon has probably gained power, making all the ministers in the court fearful and unwilling to speak rashly, lest disaster come out of their mouths and be retaliated by the other party.

After having a few drinks with Fu Tianchou, Gu Ming bid farewell and left.

Then he inquired all the way to Yan Changqing's troupe.

Before, Yan Changqing had roughly described the current situation of the theater troupe in his letter, but after seeing it with his own eyes, Gu Ming couldn't help but marvel at it: it's magnificent!

In the words of the previous life, it is called a shotgun for a cannon.

This is a large house covering an area of ​​more than ten acres. After renovation, it has become a large theater building with complete functions.

As soon as Gu Ming entered the courtyard, people from the troupe recognized him and rushed to greet him.

"I don't know that Gu Xie Yuan came to visit, but he was greeted by someone who was lost, and who was greeted by someone who helped him!"

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hands: "You don't need to be too polite, is your leader Yan here?"

Hearing this, the visitor's face darkened, and he sighed: "In the backyard, Banzhu Yan's physical condition is not very good recently."

"Oh? Take me to have a look."

"Gu Jieyuan, please!"

Under the guidance of the visitor, Gu Ming walked through the two courtyard gates and came to a small courtyard at the end

Chapter 183 Little girl Luo Yan, lucky enough to meet your son!

In the house, Yan Changqing was resting in bed.

"Teacher, Gu Jieyuan is visiting"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Changqing hurriedly pulled himself out of bed, tidied his clothes hastily, and came out to meet him.

"I didn't know that Gu Xieyuan was coming, but Yan was far away to welcome him."

"Master Yan, you don't need to be too polite!"

Gu Ming bowed his hands back, then frowned involuntarily.

At this moment, Yan Changqing looked like a different person, with a thin body, pale face, sunken eye sockets, and he was floating when he walked, as if he would fall to the ground when a strong wind blows.

"Aaron, go and make two cups of tea."

"Yes, class master!"

"Gu Jieyuan, please take your seat!"

After sitting down, Gu Ming couldn't help asking: "Master Yan, what's the matter with your body? What did the doctor say?"

Hearing this, Yan Changqing couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know what to say, but about ten days ago I felt like I was sweating, and at first I thought it was a cold.

I found a few doctors before and after, and they all said that it didn't seem to be a symptom of catching a cold, so they prescribed some medicine to calm the nerves and nourish the rest.

Or maybe, it's because I've been working hard recently, and my mind is haggard. "

"No, I don't think so."

Gu Ming said solemnly.

"Oh? I don't know what Gu Jieyuan's opinion is?"

"Let me consider"

Gu Ming immediately used his discernment to observe carefully.

Seeing this, his expression changed in shock.

No wonder Yan Changqing's body is so empty. It turned out that there was a worm in his body, a silkworm-like worm, the size of a little finger, and a pale gold color.

Could it be the golden silkworm Gu in the legend of Jianghu?

As for the Gu worms, Gu Ming had limited knowledge and did not dare to jump to conclusions.

But what is certain is that Yan Changqing must have been hit by a Gu technique, which caused his qi and blood to be weak, and his spirits were listless. Given time, he would run out of fuel and die.

Who is offended by this?To use such vicious methods?

"Has Team Master Yan offended anyone recently? Especially people in the world."

"This..." Upon hearing Gu Ming's question, Yan Changqing had a sudden realization, and couldn't help being startled: "Gu Jieyuan, is it possible that what I suffer from is not a disease, but being plotted against?"

Gu Ming looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you have fallen into someone else's Gu technique."

"what?"

Yan Changqing's face turned paler.

Most people in the Jianghu talk about Gu's discoloration, because this thing is too evil.

Speaking of it, the original intention of raising Gu is to cure diseases.

Just like arsenic, it can kill people, but it is also a good medicine at the same time, it depends on how you use it.

Those who are proficient in voodoo can kill people while talking and laughing, or use voodoo to control others and turn them into puppets.

Therefore, people in the Jianghu usually regard it as an evil way.

"Squad Master Yan, this matter must not be made public, in case the other party kills you"

"Then what should I do next?"

Yan Changqing was in a cold sweat, with a delirious demeanor.

Gu Ming pondered for a while, and couldn't help but take out a talisman from his body: "This is the evil-suppressing talisman given by the hero Yan before. Gu is also an evil thing. I believe this talisman can play a certain restraint role. .”

"Great, thank you Gu Jieyuan!"

Yan Changqing was overwhelmed with surprise, and took the Taoist talisman and kept it close to him as if he had found a treasure.

At this moment, Gu Ming observed carefully again in order to prevent any accidents.
