My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

So Du Jingyi patted Brother Tai on the head and said.

"Maybe, Brother Tai can see this, and mother is very happy, but after these words are said today, they can no longer be said to the outside world. You will still have a heavy burden in the future, so you must remember to be careful in your words and deeds. "

Brother Tai nodded thoughtfully, and then added.

"This is what Master also teaches. You should be cautious about the beginning of your speech and respect the end."

Du Jingyi was very satisfied with his answer. As for the three brothers, they were so full that they were dozing off with their eyes closed.

After the palace banquet, everything returned to normal.

The emperor's seal was not opened until the sixteenth year, so all the nobles in Sui'an City were at home and reunited with their families. However, there were always some people who wanted to cause trouble, such as the restless Dingping Hou Mansion.

The Marquis of Dingping, who was practicing calligraphy at first, was relatively calm, but after hearing the visitor's report, the calculation in his eyes became apparent again.

"Is the news true?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, the news came from the merchant's third room, so it's certain."

"You can't tell, but Mrs. Gu is also a ruthless character. She usually seems to be a quiet person, but she kills her whole family. If you are really capable, find the woman and child who have escaped. No matter what you use, What can I do? I want them to change their story and testify against the general’s government, ignore human life and force their relatives to death!”

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

The people in the fifth house did not have time to use the news of Mrs. Gu's death to exchange for glory and wealth. Instead, they used the ruin of their own family to give Dingping Marquis a reason to clean up the general's mansion. It was really the same goal through different paths.

At this moment, his plans were still limited to the power struggle between the new ministers and the old ministers. Little did he know that the General's Mansion he wanted to deal with had already whipped up his whip and wanted to find another way out.

Wangzhou, in the Huben Army barracks.

Liu Xun and Xing Zhao, who had changed their appearance, had figured out the situation of the mountain range that had not been reported. It was the same as Xing Zhao's original investigation of Yizhou, which was to conceal the report in order to reduce the taxes to be paid by Wangzhou. Endowment.

"This family is really disgusting. They have lived so hard in the first half of their lives, and they finally got this incredible wealth. They don't want to help the people who were once miserable like themselves. They are all thinking about how to exploit the people for profit."

Xing Zhao sneered at the actions of Princess Yuehua and King Min.

If it hadn't been for the successful uprising of the founding emperor, these people would still be eating chaffy vegetables in the valleys and valleys. They didn't cherish it so much, which is really despising!

Gu Shaoyu didn't think anything of Xing Zhao's complaints, but responded calmly.

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This kind of thing is probably written in books. Do you really believe it?"

"It's true, but it's the same in Yizhou and Wangzhou. The fiefdoms of other royal family members must not be much better. Cousin, do you want to continue to investigate?"

"No need, we should leave this matter of taking care of the clan members to the prince, so as to give him a chance to scare the monkeys and establish his authority as emperor."

Everything Gu Shaoyu does now is the so-called "act of rebellion."

He can check, but that doesn't mean he wants to find out.

One is that the current emperor may not want to get to the bottom of it, and may want to protect his uncle in the hope of getting something else. The other is that he wants to give enough to those in Sui'an City who are waiting for him to misplace it. And the officials who presented the opportunity.

He is not afraid, but his wife and children are all in Sui'an City, so he has to be careful.

"Then we just sit back and watch?"

"Am I this kind of person?"

Gu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xing Zhao. Xing Zhao suddenly realized that he was right. If his cousin was a coward, he would not be where he is today.

So he looked forward to the day when the mute King Min would eat Coptis chinensis and suffer unspeakably.

Soon, Gu Shaoyu gave the order.

"Find someone to redraw this map according to what you found out. I want to see how different the complete Wangzhou territory is from the one sent here!"

"Yes, General!"

After saying this, Gu Shaoyu glanced at Liu Xun, and then said to him.

"You can go back to Sui'an City later. Remember to be careful on the way. Dingping Houfu and others will never give up. They will carefully protect Madam and Brother Tai. If necessary, take the secret passage and send them to safety. There’s a place to wait, you know?”

"Don't worry, General. Your subordinates know what to do."

Having said that, Liu Xun didn't leave any space at all. He hurriedly packed his luggage and brought enough dry food, and disappeared into the military camp after a while.

His arrival and departure were unnoticed and therefore did not attract the attention of others.

"My mother is probably on her way north. When she gets here, she will be able to support her cousin."

Aunt Xing's reputation still has some connections in both Jinling City and Sui'an City, so after Xing Zhao finished speaking, Gu Shaoyu nodded.

No matter how strategizing Du Jingyi is, how witty he is, but given his age and experience, especially in Sui'an City, any stone can kill a group of powerful people, so it's better to be careful.

"Have everything been arranged in Xuanzhou?"

"Don't worry, cousin. Brother-in-law He is surrounded by people with real talents and hard work. Xuanzhou's achievements today are inseparable from the Gu family's help behind the scenes, so they promised to take good care of brother-in-law He."

"Ah That's good."

Du Jingyi always thought that her brother-in-law was able to move from Pingzhou to Xuanzhou through Xing Zhao's path, but she didn't know that when Marshal Gu and Mrs. Gu were alive, they were life-saving for the current governor of Xuanzhou. of kindness.

Therefore, it was natural for him to come forward to arrange these things, which could not be more appropriate. Instead, Xing Zhao got a good deal, and everyone in the Du family and the He family were grateful to him.

"You do good deeds without leaving your name behind. I see that you are becoming more and more low-key, cousin."

"My father-in-law's family is too polite and refuses to talk to me about anything. They always feel that they will embarrass me and owe me something, so why don't you come forward and they might be able to accept it more calmly."

"That's really quite calm. My cousin is really rich, so she casually gave me 200,000 taels of silver notes to help me smoothen my relationship! 200,000 taels is enough for the Tiger Ben Army to pay for one month."

Seeing him speaking out so consciously, Gu Shaoyu was not polite, stretched out his hand and said.

"It's rare for you to have such an awareness, so take it out so that these brothers can buy some more life-saving things!"

Xing Zhao cursed, but still handed over the well-kept banknote from his arms and muttered.

"What a black-hearted person!"
