Gu Qianchen was thinking about what the mute said at the moment.The mute said that he was a servant of the Rong Mansion, named Zhao San, and the one who died and was thrown into the mass grave was also from the Rong Mansion, named Qian Liu. They met from work in the Rong Mansion, and they had only arrived in the Rong Mansion for less than half a month. time.

The servants of Rong's mansion are all dumb, as to whether it is congenital or acquired, that's another story.Zhao San received the order before dawn in the morning, asking Zhao San to throw Qian Liu's body into the mass grave, otherwise Zhao San would be the next Qian Liu.

Not long after entering the mansion, all the people who came in the same group disappeared, and only Qian Liu, whom he knew, died, so Zhao San thought of running away.

Bringing Qian Liu's body to the mass grave, Zhao San accidentally caught a glimpse of a corner of a piece of paper in Qian Liu's arms, as if it had been stuffed indiscriminately.Out of curiosity, Zhao San took out the piece of paper. He couldn't read, but he knew the red seal, which was the seal of the Rong family.

Zhao San subconsciously felt that it was something important, so he put it away. Looking at Qian Liu's body, Zhao San became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and became more determined to escape. He simply lay down on Qian Liu's body and started crying. Crying for Qian Liu, but also for himself.He felt confused and helpless as to what to do in the future.

Just at this time, Gu Qianchen passed by and saw it.Zhao San saw that Gu Qianchen was not dressed like an ordinary person, so he wanted to ask her for help, but he couldn't understand the "language", but luckily he found the right person.

Gu Qianchen squinted his eyes. Zhao San's experience only reflected the weirdness of the Rong Mansion. If the Rong Mansion found out that someone had escaped, would they send someone to investigate? This matter is another story.

Although the troops Gu Qianchen brought were not too many, they were definitely quite a few. It was okay to hide for a short time, but they would definitely show their feet after a long time.Therefore, Gu Qianchen thought that maybe it would be better to break up all the horses into pieces, and when they got to Mount Qi, it would be better to let Lin Rui go back to deliver the order.

After thinking about it, Bi Shan also arrived, and the two got off their horses.There were four people guarding the mountain gate, looking at Gu Qianchen and Lin Rui who came forward, fighting with two knives, staring angrily, and said: "Who is coming? Anyone who enters the stronghold will die."

Gu Qianchen looked at these people, quite dumbfounded, but there was a sense of aura, but there was a sense of imitation, "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to see Mr. Zhou Rongzhou, and there is absolutely no other intention."

Lin Rui glanced at Gu Qianchen silently, wondering for a while, didn't they just come to break into the village? What are they looking for, Mr. Zhou?

"Do you need two people to find someone?" Several people guarding the mountain gate looked at each other, and one of them frowned and said, looking at Gu Qianchen and Lin Rui in an unfriendly way.

Gu Qianchen smiled and said: "This is just someone who guides me, please don't misunderstand me." After finishing speaking, Gu Qianchen took out a piece of silver from his sleeve pocket, turned around and stuffed it into Lin Rui's hand, saying , "Thank you, I have arrived at Mount Qi, so let's go."

Lin Rui frowned, not agreeing very much, and refused to accept it.

Gu Qianchen pulled Lin Rui aside, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, go back, break it up into parts, and stand by."

"Yes." Lin Rui nodded, then got on his horse and rode away.

Gu Qianchen returned to the front of the mountain gate, looking at the four people calmly.

"What were you muttering about just now?" One of them pointed the tip of a knife at Gu Qianchen with a strong sense of threat.

Gu Qianchen said indignantly: "The man thought I gave too little money, so he insisted on asking me for it, or he wouldn't leave. His heart is too dark."

The person who asked Gu Qianchen earlier withdrew his knife, looked at Gu Qianchen with more sympathy, and said without doubting him, "You wait here, I will ask."

"Thank you." Gu Qianchen replied with cupped fists.

The man glanced at Gu Qianchen vigilantly, and said to the remaining three: "Look, don't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, what can happen to this one person." One person replied.

The man nodded and left.

Gu Qianchen slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, looking very calm, as if he didn't hear them talking, although these two sentences were basically meant for her.

After a while, the person who went to inform came back, glanced at Gu Qianchen with a strange look, and said, "Go in, just go straight, don't look around, after you go in, someone will take you to see the adults." ."

"My lord", Gu Qianchen couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this address, and walked in. It seems that Zhou Rong's life is not bad.Except for the fact that you can't get out of Mount Bi.

Gu Qianchen stepped into the cottage, walked forward for a while, and saw a person standing in front of him.Walking over, the waiting person said: "Please follow me."

Gu Qianchen nodded, continued to follow the man, and stopped in front of a house.

"Please come in." The man made a "please" gesture and said.

Gu Qianchen narrowed his eyes and stepped in.Then, the door was closed.

Inside the house, Zhou Rong was sitting at the table staring at the chess game on the chessboard. Hearing the sound of the door being closed, he quickly raised his head and saw Gu Qianchen, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He stood up quickly and said, "I thought that It was Brother Liu who came, but it was Miss Gu."

"How many times have I said it, don't call me Miss Gu." Gu Qianchen held his forehead, quite speechless and authentic.

Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Brother Gu."

Gu Qianchen was a little surprised. In the past, Zhou Rong would definitely say a lot of nonsense, and then he would say things like inescapable rules, but now it is a lot faster, and it seems that he has grown a lot after this incident.The ups and downs of the officialdom ultimately temper one's character.

"What's going on here? Brother, how about explaining it to me in detail?" Gu Qianchen was not polite, walked to the side and sat down, and said.

Zhou Rong smiled slightly, sat down on the previous seat, and said: "Gu Houjue, I didn't know your identity before, I offended you so much, I hope you will forgive me."

"It's outrageous to say that, will my younger brother treat me differently because of my status?" Gu Qianchen narrowed his eyes and said.

Zhou Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly, "It's Rong's fault, I made brother Gu laugh."

Gu Qianchen curled his lips indifferently, and said, "Don't gossip, let's talk about the Xiangzhou incident."

Zhou Rong stared at the chess game in front of him, lost in thought, as if trying to reason his mind.Gu Qianchen was not in a hurry, and waited quietly at the side.

In Ruian City, the mansion of Minister of Justice, Du Jincheng and Du Shangshu were sitting on the carved red pine chair at home, clasping the armrest of the chair with one hand, staring closely at the second son Du Shengyuan standing under the hall, and said: "Speak, What is the purpose of returning to Beijing this time? It's not just to see your father's old bones, right?"

"Father still understands his son." Du Shengyuan said cheerfully, "Father, when my son comes back this time, he wants to ask you to do me a favor, just use your words."

Du Jincheng glared angrily, this little bastard, he must be pissed off, tell some lies to make him happy, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Father, do you know that foreign businessmen often come to buy and sell goods in Jiangzhou?" Du Shengyuan said.

"I don't know." Du Jincheng said without thinking.

"Father." Du Shengyuan glared at Du Jincheng, which was a different way of "acting like a baby".

"Your father and I don't care about this matter. This is the management of the household department. What's the use of you telling me." Du Jincheng looked at his second son helplessly and said.

Du Shengyuan curled his lips and said: "Father, you can at least write a letter to mention this matter to His Majesty. The taxation of foreign trade must be higher than that of domestic businessmen. This will increase tax revenue and regulate foreign businessmen coming to court. Trade, why not?"

Du Jincheng frowned and thought about it for a while. Although he doesn't understand finances, he also knows that this is indeed a good thing. It's just that he is in the officialdom and some things should not be mentioned by him. Coming out will inevitably offend the people in the household department, if it is someone else, that's fine. The old guy, Zhou Gongyun, Shangshu of the household department, is very cautious.But the first time in so many years that his son asked him to help with something, it was not his own private matter, and he had to do it, and it was indeed a good thing.After much deliberation, let's mention it to that guy Zhou Gongyun. It would be a good thing to give him a favor.
