Chapter 104 Take one step back

Chu Junyi glanced at him, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.

Gu Chengzhi took it, opened it and saw the words on it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This is..."

"Well, this is from Jin Lu." Seeing that he had finished reading, Chu Junyi took out the paper, went to the candle, and burned the paper.

Gu Chengzhi asked, "You agreed?"

"Agreed." Chu Junyi turned around and smiled lightly, and said, "Isn't that why father raises spies?"

Gu Chengzhi sighed.

"Actually, this is quite good. I can rest assured that I can do it myself." Chu Junyi said.

Standing behind Jin Lu is the emperor. The emperor wants his people to go deep into Prince Yu's power, and the benefit for him is that he can give priority to dealing with the evidence of the Chu family's involvement in the rebellion.

The Chu family is indeed guilty, but the crime lies with the old master Chu. Chu Junyi has been watching the Chu family for so long, and he knows the situation of the Chu family very well.

When the old master Chu took refuge in Prince Yu, he didn't show it clearly, but at that time Emperor Jing Ming loved Prince Yu very much, and the old master Chu felt that Prince Yu had a chance to become the crown prince, so he helped out.

However, after Old Master Chu helped with a few things, Emperor Jingming died suddenly, and the late Emperor ascended the throne. Prince Yu's position became awkward and delicate, but it was too late for Old Master Chu to withdraw. Once the handle is found out, the Chu family will be ransacked and exterminated.

At that time, Master Chu and Master Chu were not very old, and Master Chu did not let them know that he had taken refuge in Prince Yu, but he still told Master Chu about this, because the future of the Chu family depends on he.

Not many people in the Chu family knew about this matter, and the second master of Chu was aware of it, so he took the second bedroom away suddenly after the separation. Uncle Chu and the others didn't know about it, otherwise they wouldn't be able to go out to please the prince.

Although the emperor said that he knew it well, Chu Junyi didn't want to rely on the emperor alone. Rebellion is the top ten evils. As long as the things the old lady Chu has done are related to rebellion, there is no need for anyone to push them away. The Chu family will undoubtedly fall .

In fact, Chu Junyi also thought about whether to do it himself, but the emperor knows about those things, it should be said that there are quite a few people who know, and if he is found out and something is wrong, he is also afraid of causing trouble again.

The emperor allowed him to deal with the evidence at the price of handing over all the things he found, which is indeed not a loss. As long as there is this sentence, even if the emperor did not ask, he will definitely let the spies go deep into Prince Yu's power.

Chu Junyi never thought of cleaning up the Chu family, because the Chu family couldn't be cleansed at all, he just wanted to separate the Chu family from the rebellion, as long as it wasn't the killing of the nine clans, everything else was a trivial matter, even if it was ransacked, it would be a big deal. It is spending money to buy peace.

"I don't want to gamble on the future situation. I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. The emperor has the intention of letting us go, but how can we forgive the felony of treason?" Chu Junyi sighed: "The emperor asked me to do it, so it should be the same. I thought, treason must be severely punished, if he let us go, it is inevitable that some people will not accept, the emperor should be in trouble."

Gu Chengzhi nodded, and said: "I guess they can't wait any longer. The emperor wants to do something, and it should be in the past few years."

The emperor wanted to let Gu Chengzhi go, but Gu Chengzhi is also a member of the Chu family now, if he even let go of treason, then the emperor would really worry about his own life.

Prince Yu is a few years older than the emperor, but he is no longer young. In the past two years, he has visited the imperial physician more often, and his health is not in good shape.In the first half of his life, he was full of vigor and vitality, but in the second half of his life, he was depressed and frustrated. The throne has become an obsession, and it probably won't be long. The emperor is waiting for the day when he will rebel.

"Is it difficult for you?" Gu Chengzhi asked.

"It's okay, there's movement at the other end. I thought about whether to go further, but now that something happened, I have no choice." Chu Junyi smiled, "It's not difficult, it's troublesome."

"Those people, will they seek refuge there?" Gu Chengzhi asked.

"They won't turn back." Chu Junyi knew that Gu Chengzhi was worried that the spies would be confused by the sugar-coated bullets, and it would be easy to lose themselves if they had power. "Father was very cautious when choosing people. There are grudges on the side, especially those closest to that person, who were almost wiped out by the people there, and it took my father nearly two years to find these people."

Spies are not so easy to train. It is easy to brainwash young ones, but the results will not be seen so quickly. If you want to catch the eyes of Prince Yu, you have to find that kind of smart person.

Prince Yu has been taking actions in private, and many people were killed by his subordinates. Master Chu San went to find the survivors after he knew about those things.

It is impossible that there will be no fish that slipped through the net. The third master Chu was looking for people while screening, and finally settled on a few suitable candidates. They are smart, good-natured, and have blood feuds with them. They know that they cannot shake Yu Yu alone. Prince, so he accepted Master Chu San's suggestion, changed his identity, and broke into Prince Yu's forces.

It's a pity that the third master Chu passed away early. A few people knew that revenge was hopeless, so they chose to assassinate their enemies, but they failed.

There were still a few people who were calm, and insisted on thinking that someone could take over the position of Master Chu San. When Chu Junyi knew these things, he felt quite guilty.

When negotiating with Jin Lu, Chu Junyi mentioned this matter. After the matter is completed, he will take back all the spies under his command. Those people have stayed with the enemy for so long, and they should have a good rest in their old age.

"Back then, there should have been these things in the transaction between the emperor and his father. If he helped the emperor bring down that one, father could get those things." Chu Junyi sighed.

And the third master Chu promised those spies, there should also be these things, the things brought back by the spies can be used to bring down Prince Yu, it is too difficult to kill Prince Yu, this can be regarded as revenge in disguise.

Gu Chengzhi nodded, stretched out his arms to embrace Chu Junyi, and said slowly, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, I have a measure." Chu Junyi smiled.

"Next time something like this happens, remember to tell me." Gu Chengzhi couldn't help frowning when he thought of Xue Hu saying that Chu Junyi was going to see Jin Lu when he entered the door.

"I want to tell you, but are you free?" Chu Junyi gave him a blank look.

Gu Chengzhi's face turned dark.

He has been in the palace today, and it was almost dark when he left the palace. Jin Lu also knew about this, so he chose to post today.

"And the time is written on the post. If I'm late, I guess Jin Lu can call the door directly." Chu Junyi snorted coldly.

Gu Chengzhi twitched the corners of his mouth, Jin Lu could really do such a thing.

Even though Chu Junyi was quite satisfied with the transaction, Gu Chengzhi still felt unhappy, and blocked Jinlu the next day.

At that time, there were still a few people around Jin Lu. When he saw Gu Chengzhi, he curled his lips and waved away a group of people. Only a few acquaintances remained.

Gu Chengzhi was dissatisfied with Jin Lu and went to Chu Junyi like this, but Jin Lu was not very happy.

"Why are you telling me?! The conditions and requirements are all set by the emperor, and I'm just helping you run an errand! If you're not satisfied, go to the emperor!" Jin Lu said with a frown.

"Who told you this?! If you have something to talk about normally, why avoid me?!" Gu Chengzhi glared at him.

After hearing a few words, Fourth Master Zhang recalled it, and turned to ask Jin Lu, "Have you gone to find Sixth Master Chu?"

Jin Lu curled his lips and snorted coldly.

"Is Sixth Master Chu okay?" Third Master Ma asked Gu Chengzhi.

"It's okay." Gu Chengzhi said lightly.

"Of course he's fine, he's fine." Jin Lu said dissatisfied.

Gu Chengzhi glared at him again.

"Come on, with your temperament of plucking wild goose, is Sixth Master Chu okay?" Fourth Master Zhang didn't believe it.

"He's fine!" Jin Lu gritted his teeth and knocked on the table, "And did I pluck my hair?! If you don't believe me, ask! I didn't take advantage of anything!"

"Really?!" Ma Sanye was terrified. Jin Lu hadn't suffered much since he was a child. He just let others suffer, so with Chu Junyi's small body, can he surpass Jin Lu?

"Taking advantage?" Fourth Master Zhang looked at Jin Lu suspiciously. What kind of advantage is it?

Seeing the changes in the gazes of these people, Jin Lu also found that the words were ambiguous, so he spat blood silently in his heart, and defended himself: "Is this the kind of person who would attack brothers and daughters-in-law?! Must not be! I haven't even touched a hair of that guy!"

Fourth Master Zhang nodded and admitted that Jin Lv has no morals, but he would not eat grass by the side of the nest. If he didn't eat Chu Junyi's tofu, then he was trading?

"Did you cheat Sixth Master Chu?" Third Master Ma asked suspiciously.

"Fucking! When did I cheat?! That's mutual benefit!" Jin Lu was very dissatisfied, both sides have benefits, what kind of cheating!

Fourth Master Zhang glanced at him, and said: "Even if it's mutual benefit, you have to make people half dead before telling them the benefits, what is it if it's not cheating?"

Third Master Ma nodded and asked, "How did you trick Sixth Master Chu?"

"Get out! I didn't cheat him!" Jin Lu was very annoyed.

"Okay, you didn't trick him, so how did your talk go?" Fourth Master Zhang changed the subject in a polite manner.

Jin Lu said with a straight face, "That's it."

"Be more specific." Fourth Master Zhang said again.

Jin Lu rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Each step back, the two sides are tied, and no one takes advantage of the other."

Fourth Master Zhang was shocked: "How is it possible?! Isn't this your character?!"

"Otherwise?! If we can't agree, he can spend with me until dark, I'm busy too!" Jin Lu gritted his teeth with a dark face.

Fourth master Zhang smashed his mouth, turned his head to Gu Chengzhi and praised, "Your guy is really good."

Gu Chengzhi looked at it coldly, Jin Lu was still free a few years ago, but recently he has been very busy, Chu Junyi has a lot of time, but Jin Lu can't afford it.

The information in Chu Junyi's hands has been sent several times, and it is certain that the people under the emperor missed two lines, and there are people from Chu Junyi on these two lines, so this matter cannot be delayed.

Both sides need the benefits from the other side, but Jinluqi is short of a move, he doesn't have as much time as Chu Junyi, so he has to give in.

In fact, the requirements given by the emperor are not difficult, but Jin Lu habitually exerts pressure, and by the way, he mentioned a few more items, which may or may not be there, purely to satisfy his tossing thoughts.

"Third brother, are you actually jealous?" Zhang Siye finished teasing Jin Lu, and then came to tease Gu Chengzhi.

Gu Chengzhi raised his eyelids but did not deny it.

Jin Lu smashed his mouth and asked: "You are so jealous, can your family bear it?"

"If Sixth Master Chu sees other people, will you do the same?" Fourth Master Zhang said in surprise.

Gu Chengzhi sat with folded arms, looked up at the sky, but didn't answer.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Ma Sanye reached out and poked Gu Chengzhi's arm.

Gu Chengzhi raised his hand and patted Ma Sanye's hand away, saying, "I didn't think much about it."

Gu Chengzhi didn't analyze his inner thoughts with others, and after talking with them for a while, he got up to leave.

"By the way, that matter is settled, let me say congratulations first." Jin Lu leaned on his chin, looked at Gu Chengzhi with raised eyebrows.

Gu Chengzhi nodded, his expression was very calm, it could be seen that he had received the news a long time ago.

In the evening, when Chu Junyi saw Gu Cheng, he also congratulated him first. Gu Chengzhi had been in the Imperial Academy for almost half a year, and his promotion was not too conspicuous.

Gu Chengzhi was very happy, and pulled Chu Junyi to open a jar of wine.

Chu Junyi: "..." Why is Mao a jar of wine? !Who can drink it? !

"You can watch me drink." Gu Chengzhi smiled.

Chu Junyi had no choice but to pick up the cup.

Brother Qi leaned over the table to watch, Gu Chengzhi dipped his finger in a little wine and tapped it on the little guy's tongue, Brother Qi's little face immediately wrinkled into a bun, sticking out his tongue while pouring water desperately.

Chu Junyi glared at Gu Chengzhi, then turned his head to take care of his son.

After sending the little guy back to the room, Gu Chengzhi poured another cup for Chu Junyi, and said, "Come have a drink with me."

Chu Junyi glanced at him and took a drink.

Gu Chengzhi's smile deepened. He knew that Chu Junyi didn't drink well, but he felt better when he was drunk.

"Have you decided where you are going?" Chu Junyi hurriedly asked before he was drunk.

"The Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Household Affairs." Gu Chengzhi replied.

Chu Junyi nodded, this is also very good.

Seeing his smiling face, Gu Chengzhi unconsciously softened his expression, took a sip of his wine and leaned over.
