In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

The total population of the clan in the whole country is estimated to be over [-]. It’s fine if these people don’t pay taxes, and they ask the palace every now and then for rewards and servants. Not only does Gu Li not plan to respond to their request, but he also plans to reduce the number of staff , Let’s start with the royal family first.

But if he wants to attack the royal family, he has to find a good reason, otherwise he will not be beaten to death by scholars and counselors with the stick of ancestral etiquette.

He did not expect that this sufficient reason would soon be delivered to him in an unexpected way.

This day, Gu Li managed to rest for a while, remembering that he hadn't seen Chen Feng for two or three days, so he called Zhou Changshun, changed into ordinary clothes, and left the palace from the east side of the Beishan room.

Unexpectedly, there was still some distance to the moat, but the eunuchs of Xixin Division were cleaning the moat taking advantage of the good weather today.

Gu Li couldn't go out swaggeringly in front of so many palace people, so he had to go back the same way.Seeing that he came back again, Zhou Changshun asked the reason, and said with a smile: "So that's why you came here. Your Majesty, there are only two secret passages in this palace. But you can still follow the clear path, as long as Your Majesty doesn't mind humiliating your status. "

So what?Gu Lizheng was wondering, when Zhou Changshun found someone to get a set of eunuch clothes, and said, "Your Majesty, the guard Xie is on duty at the gate of the palace today, so naturally he will not embarrass Your Majesty."

Gu Li suddenly understood, and said, "All right, that's the only way."

Gu Li changed into eunuch's clothes, judging by the color and grade of the clothes, he should be a young eunuch, not an eunuch.Zhou Changshun gave Tongxing a waist badge and a bunch of keys, and explained: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao was sent to Xiaoling by you. He used to have a house in the middle of the capital, and he asked a villain to take care of it for him." So, it’s in the Nianzi Hutong in the south of the inner city, the mansion where a rose plant is planted in front of the gate. You can go there to change your clothes after leaving the palace.”

Gu Li took the key and changed his clothes according to the instructions. He was wearing the clothes of a young eunuch, and all the eunuchs he saw on the way had to salute him. When he left the palace, it was indeed Xie Lian and another guard standing at the gate of the palace.Gu Li flashed his waist card, Xie Lian saw his face, and was slightly taken aback, Gu Li desperately winked at him, Xie Lian smiled and let him go.

Nianzi Hutong is just south of the official office in the imperial city, just walk a short distance to the right after exiting the Daming Gate.Gu Li found Cao Cunlin's house. From the outside, it looked like a grand house. When he opened the door to enter, the inside was in a mess, all valuables were confiscated, and the broken screens, tables and chairs were dead. If it wasn't seized, maybe Zhou Guangshun helped get rid of the relationship.

Gu Li changed into a scarf and dark clothes, and rushed out of the Zhengyang Gate impatiently.I haven't seen Chen Feng for a few days, and I don't know how his research progress is. The last time we met, I gave him a book of basic physics. With Chen Feng's ingenuity, he should have learned almost the same, right?

Unexpectedly, after entering the house, the house is empty, and Chen Feng is not at home?

Gu Li remembered that the Shuntian Mansion had never slackened in hunting down Chen Feng in the capital. Chen Feng had an eye-catching appearance and usually would not go out.

Why is he not at home?

Gu Li found it strange, as soon as he left the room, he bumped into a group of people!

This is Gu Li's old acquaintance, the policeman who once captured him in the dungeon of Shuntian Mansion!

Is it Jiang Xiasheng?

Jiang Xiasheng was originally aggressive, but when he saw Gu Li coming out of the room, he was stunned.

Seeing his reaction like this, Gu Li was puzzled.It's strange, last time I asked Kang Qizong, he clearly said that the servants regarded him as a relative and didn't know his identity, why did Jiang Xiasheng look like he wanted to kneel down and call him His Majesty?Gu Li didn't know about Xiao Tan, so he coughed hard twice.

The person next to Jiang Xiasheng was also dressed as a police officer, cursing: "That thief! Zhao Yueting! He Xiuting! Take him down!"

Jiang Xiasheng hurriedly stopped him: "Don't! You picked the wrong person! This person has black hair and black eyes, and the traitor Tianshi is said to have red hair and green eyes. How can this be the traitor we want to catch?"

The policeman was not convinced: "This man came out of the hiding place of the traitor Chen Feng, and he must have something to do with him! First catch him in the prison in our Shuntian Mansion, and beat him up."

Jiang Xiasheng's scalp was numb, and he almost wanted to kneel down to this colleague and beg him to stop talking.

Who knew that this man didn't receive his gaze at all, so he couldn't help but tie up Gu Li and wanted to take him back to Shuntian Mansion.

Gu Lixin said that this Shuntian Mansion is incredible, is the efficiency already so high?Not long after he came here, this group of people came here after hearing the news, and they must have been here for a long time.

Gu Li let them tie him up again, and headed towards the Shuntian Mansion Office.On the way, Jiang Xiasheng patted his colleagues and said, "Chen Feng, the traitor, hasn't been caught yet. He just took someone back. I'll send him back. You guys continue to interrogate him."

Jiang Xiasheng took Gu Li away, walked to a place where no one was seeing, and quickly untied him. Seeing that he was about to kneel down, Gu Li supported him, and whispered: "Just be polite outside, don't poke me. identity of."

Seeing that Jiang Xiasheng was confused, Gu Li knew that if he didn't explain clearly to him today, Jiang Xiasheng might miss his business.

Gu Li took Jiang Xiasheng into a tavern by the side of the road. There was no one in the tavern, which was convenient for the two of them to talk.

Gu Li asked, "How did you find Ertiao Hutong?"

Jiang Xiasheng is a small official in the government office. When he saw a big man like Gu Li for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He asked the waiter to serve the wine.

Jiang Xiasheng lowered his voice and said to Gu Li: "I guessed that the traitor Celestial Master is here in the capital because His Majesty went out to inspect the assassination of the capital some time ago, and I suspect that someone in Beijing tipped them off. For sure, until a few days ago, I received news that someone had seen a strange person in the capital. Although the person was wearing a felt hat, his face could not be seen clearly, but his exposed hands were extremely white, so I deduced that, This person might be Chen Feng!"

Jiang Xiasheng took another sip of wine, and continued: "Your Majesty has decreed that the crimes committed by these traitors will not be blamed, and the traitors have all returned to their hometowns, but Chen Feng is still staying in the capital, presumably he is still looking for opportunities to plot evil. This man is cunning and treacherous, and he is a disaster. If you wait until he commits a crime and then arrest him, it will be too late. Therefore, I have been investigating secretly. A few days ago, I instigated one of Chen Feng's informants, so I learned about him hiding place."

Gu Li asked: "How many subordinates does Chen Feng have in the capital?"

Jiang Xiasheng said: "Four, the person who was instigated by rebellion is a rascal named Gong Er. He got a large sum of money from Chen Feng last year and raised a few beautiful girls in Xiejia Hutong. To do official business, to deliver news for Chen Feng."

Gu Li suddenly realized, and asked again: "What about the other three?"

"These informants in Chen Feng's hands only know each other's existence, but they have never met each other. This is also Chen Feng's cunning. I heard from Gong Er that Chen Feng lived in the home of one of the informants. After some groping, I found Ertiao Hutong. But...how did you come here?"

Gu Li said: "Because I am his informant."

Jiang Xiasheng was stunned.

Gu Li pressed his hand and said in a low voice, "Remember, outside the palace, my name is Gu Yixin. I am Chen Feng's informant."

Jiang Xiasheng looked blank: "Humble job... I don't understand..."

Gu Li stretched out his fingertips, dipped them in the wine, and wrote and drew on the table.After a while, the wine dried up, Jiang Xiasheng understood it, took a deep breath, calmed down, nodded and said: "I understand, I will never miss your important event."

Gu Li said: "From now on, you can no longer call yourself a humble job."

Jiang Xiasheng was reminded and nodded in agreement.

Gu Li asked, "Where is Chen Fengren?"

Jiang Xiasheng said: "I followed the vines and found the two alleys, but that Chen Fengduan was so cunning that he told him to run away early. I just sent people here to wait for the rabbit, and another group of people searched for him in the city."

Gu Li clicked his tongue, and Chen Feng was startled away. He hadn't found any clues about the treasure. He had already invested so much time and energy in the early stage, so he couldn't just give up. He needed to find Chen Feng as soon as possible.

"By the way, how did you know my identity?" Gu Li was still thinking about this, how did Jiang Xiasheng know that he was the emperor?

Jiang Xiasheng said: "I have a good brother who is a soldier in the Beijing camp. His name is Tan Jilun. He has met you before. After talking with me that day, I knew who I had arrested."

Gu Li suddenly realized: "So you know Xiao Tan well, no wonder. Why does Xiao Tan live in the city? Shouldn't he sleep in the barracks?"

Jiang Xiasheng smiled and said: "It's my brother's house in the capital. When the relatives borrow labor from the barracks, he can rest directly in the city without rushing back to the barracks."

Gu Li clicked his tongue. When he inspected the barracks last time, he felt that the soldiers there were not in good spirits. There were many soldiers who were good-for-nothing, but few honest people. There were more idlers, but few capable of fighting.I didn't expect that these soldiers would be borrowed and borrowed as coolies. They are so ignored and their status is low, how can they raise good soldiers and strong soldiers.

Gu Li asked: "Do you have any difficulties in life with Xiao Tan?"

"It's not bad. If I have money, I will help him, and if he has money, he will help me. Didn't His Majesty reward him with five taels of silver and five bolts of silk last time? With His Majesty's care, this life is still passable."

Gu Li was shocked.

Five taels of silver?Five bolts of silk?

He obviously rewarded the wounded soldiers with ten taels of silver and ten bolts of silk. Last time he inspected the barracks, he asked Xiao Tan, how come Jiang Xiasheng gave them a half discount now?

Who is lying?

Gu Li was suspicious, left the tavern with Jiang Xiasheng, and left separately.Gu Li walked towards the Zhengyang Gate by himself, and before he reached the imperial city, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

Gu Li turned around, and it was Jiang Xiasheng.

Panting angrily, Jiang Xia pulled Gu Li to a place where there was no one else, and said, "I just received news from an informant that the traitor Chen Feng is now in Xuancheng Bo's Mansion!"

Gu Li asked, "Are you sure?"

Jiang Xiasheng said: "My informant, Gong Er, was watching him in the uncle's residence, and specially asked someone to send a message to me."

Jiang Xiasheng looked hesitant, and asked, "I don't know what should I do?"

Gu Li cheered up and said, "Understood, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about me. When you see me, just act like you don't know me."

Gu Li hired a carriage and rushed to Xuanchengbo's mansion.

Chatting on the handlebars: "Ms. Xiang also went to Xuancheng Bo's Mansion to attend the church meeting?"

Gu Lin let out a hum, thinking of it, he had heard a car handle mentioned that the theatrical troupe of Uncle Xuancheng's family was unique in the capital.But he is not interested in this concert, he is going to save people.

This handlebar style is also quite talkative, and he said with a smile, "The performances in Xuanchengbo's mansion don't stop until Xushi. It's raining tonight, do you want to buy an umbrella?"

The handlebar handed over an umbrella, Gu Li was taken aback, and asked, "How do you know it will rain tonight?"

The author has something to say: Alas, there is no way to let Feng Feng play today, so let the little girl Gu Youzhen sing "Little Leaping Frog" for everyone as an apology.
