Chapter 346: Brothers Running Separately

The treasure ship won a great victory in capturing the Japanese along the coast, killing a total of 442 Japanese and 657 alive, sinking 7 Japanese ships and capturing 14 Japanese ships!

Ningbo City Bo Si raised Fan Tongli to pass the Japanese Kou, and without authorization, he used civilian ships to pretend to be overseas tributaries to make ships go to sea, and plotted to assassinate Qincha! The whole government of Ningbo captured one hundred and twelve thieves!

Because of the previous incident of the Japanese invasion of Songjiang Mansion, many officials in Beijing had already made an uproar, and when these two pieces of news came one after another, they completely exploded. For a time, the officials who had opposed the ban on opening the sea immediately went forward to write letters one after another to plead their grievances, and repeatedly begged the emperor to retract his orders. Many people even questioned why Zhang Yue went to Jiangnan to check the granary, but why he suddenly went to Ningbo, and even people who wrote to abolish the city because of the Japanese Kou also abounded. What's more, they simply stated in a series of articles that the cost of the treasure ship going to the West was huge, and the treasure ship was scrapped to recuperate.

Wave after wave of unsettled, just when this side was making trouble, a bigger rumor suddenly swept the entire city of Beijing. The rumors claimed conclusively that Zhang Yue was assassinated in Ningbo Mansion, and during this period, he accidentally broke the sword given by the Son of Heaven! While the Manchu officials were in an uproar, they couldn't help but ask for confirmation from several cabinet ministers closest to the Son of Heaven, but both Yang Rong and Jin Youzi didn't know anything, but their faces were terrifyingly gloomy.

The Zhang family has been a series of happy events since the second half of the year, but the last one was Fang Shuixin's small birth, and there was a little bit of failure. Although the Gu family is now concerned about Mrs. Wang, who is sitting on the mattress, she is old after all, and she does not dare to brave the cold wind to run outside, that is, she sends her eldest daughter-in-law Feng to visit her in three days. Even if she didn't like Fang Shuixin anymore, for Zhang You's sake, she felt that this miscarriage was really strange, so she also sent someone to take care of it carefully. These two heads alone have exhausted her, and even Zhang Yi, who is newly married Yan'er, can't take care of it. On this day, when she heard such rumors from the mouth of the Dongfang clan, she suddenly turned pale with shock.

Dongfang Shizai inquired carefully for three days and made sure that this was not groundless, so he specially ran this trip, and hurriedly persuaded at this time: "Old lady, although it is a rumor, it is really too widespread, so I have to come to report it." Those people said clearly, saying that this is not an ordinary Shang Fang sword, but the emperor wore it when he was fighting in the south and the north, and even used this sword to kill people when he fought Meng Yuan. If this is the case, Brother Yue is really a monstrous disaster this time. ”

"Is there anything to say in the court?"

As soon as he heard this, Dongfang suddenly remembered his husband and son who had to hunt for widows along the coast on a cold day. Originally, I had the intention to be ironic, but thinking of Zhang You, Zhang Chao's father and son's high-spirited appearance before leaving, and thinking that her husband was not a Shijue, but he became the chief military officer for the first time, her sour water was suppressed, but her tone was a little complaining.

"The lord is not here, the British Duke is still using troops in the Xuanfu, and it is really difficult to inquire about the news from the DPRK and China. I went to the Baoding Marquis Mansion in the morning, and I heard that the emperor called the court on the grounds of rheumatism, and everything was submitted by the cabinet after deliberation, and I don't know what kind of charter it is. It is said that Brother Yue is too reckless, and if he gets this reward, he should cherish it and keep it well, and he even carries it with him casually, isn't this obviously giving others a chance? ”

Gu Shi closed his eyes tiredly, and then waved his hand: "You go down, let me think about this matter." ”

Seeing that the Dongfang clan quietly retreated, Bai Fang glanced at a few little girls, and after sending them down, he came over with a small pestle, sat under the kang and beat Gu's legs with a beauty hammer, and persuaded in a low voice: "Old lady, the third young master probably didn't expect someone to be so bold, besides, someone assassinated Qin Cha in broad daylight, and he almost lost his life." ”

"You know what!" Gu Shi opened his eyes suddenly, and then smiled bitterly, "This time my life was saved, but if the emperor blames him, he may not be able to escape!" In this way, first send someone to the Du family to ask......"

Before he finished speaking, a little girl's voice came from outside: "Old lady, the seventh young master of the Gu family is here, saying that he wants to see the old lady." The senior executive's family outside asked the old lady if she was free, and if she was not free, she would ask the second young master or the fourth young master to meet on her behalf. ”

"Gu Family Xiaoqi?" Gu Shi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "It's not yet the time for the Guozijian to be on vacation, how can he come over?" That's it, he's not the kind of temperament that fights the autumn wind, maybe there's something important, invite him in. ”

After about a quarter of an hour's work, there was a sound of talking outside, and then a girl outside the door opened the curtain and let people in. Gu Bin was wearing a blue silk cotton jacket, which was exactly the winter coat sent by the Gu family before, and he was also wearing a fox fur warm hat on his head, and his face was blown red by the cold wind. Seeing that he took off his hat and saluted as soon as he entered the door, Gu Shi smiled and said, "You have been studying in Guozijian, and you rarely have time on weekdays, why do you have time to come over today?" ”

"Old lady, I have heard a lot of rumors in the Guozi Prison, and even a few professors are talking about it now. Chen Siye took care of me quite a lot before, and he hinted to me that this matter was quite strange, after all, from Ningbo Mansion to Beijing, thousands of miles away, the good news spread quickly, after all, there was a post mail delivery horse, but such rumors spread so widely, it is really abnormal. So I took a day off today, just to ask my third cousin if he had brought a letter back recently. ”

I thought that Gu Bin suddenly came to see him because he encountered something unpleasant in Guozijian, but at this time, hearing him say this straightforwardly, Gu couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and then nodded with relief, but sighed again.

"Good boy, it's hard for you to bother, and I specially asked for leave to run such a trip. I don't care about my age, I just found out about it, and I'm thinking about it now. Brother Yue has not received a letter since he left, but his father and his daughter-in-law have brought a letter once. said that it was because Brother Yue was ordered by the Holy Father to keep secrets, so even they didn't know much about it. Not only them, but also your second aunt and eldest cousin, we can only wait for the news to see the good news of the imperial court. ”

Gu Bin originally thought that the Zhang family must have a quasi-letter, but at this time, he was a little disappointed when he heard Gu say this. Although he is still not good at human affairs, he is not as arrogant as before, and after only sitting for a while, he quickly changed the topic and casually said something about the country's prison. Rao is so, he only sat for half an hour and then got up to say goodbye, and walked out of the yard on the road, naturally he was preoccupied, blindly lowered his head and pondered, and as a result, he almost bumped into a person at the second gate.

"Oops...... Hey, it's Little Seventh Brother! ”

Hearing this, Little Seventh Brother, Gu Bin rubbed his head and raised his head, seeing that it was Zhang Zhen, he hurriedly opened his mouth to apologize. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Zhang Zhen speak: "Little Seventh Brother is here for the third brother's business?" I just went to Xipailou Lane, and I happened to meet Brother Wan and Brother Xia, who happened to be resting today. Although they persuaded me that the third brother was stable by nature and would not be so careless, those gossips were very clear-sighted, which was really worrying. However, the second brother has already gone to An Yuanhou to inquire about the situation, so you can rest assured that you will return to the national prison. ”

Although Gu Bin is a relative of the Zhang family, he is really the most familiar with Zhang Yue, after all, he has the relationship between Zhang Zhuo and Zhang Yue who volunteered to help the Gu family in the past, and secondly, he and Zhang Yue are classmates of Fuxue have received a lot of help and reminders, and Zhang Chao can say a few more words on weekdays, but he has almost never dealt with Zhang Zhen. Hearing such words at this time, he couldn't help but feel an extremely strange feeling in his heart, and he didn't even notice what Zhang Zhen said afterwards and how he left.

Once something happens, the whole family will run, is this the reason why the Gu family is divided and the family is in the middle, but the Zhang family is thriving?

Although the Zhang family has always funded various expenses, Gu Bin has a strong nature and refuses to accept too many gifts, so today he did not take a carriage or horse, but walked all the way from Guozijian. At this time, he walked out of the east corner gate of Zhangfu, and walked along the road to the alley, he couldn't help but stop his steps and think about it carefully. However, he didn't know much about the court, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that he had something he had never used, and his eyes lit up. At this moment, he didn't care about any expenses, so he found the nearest carriage and horse dealer and hired a car to rush back to the dormitory of the Guozijian, and found a bag from the depths of the drawer. Seeing that the piece of paper and jade pendant were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put the things back as they were, and then hurriedly went out of the door with the bag in his pocket, but he hurried out by car all the way, and soon found the Yang Mansion on Qianmen Street.

After staying in Nanjing and Beijing for more than two years, Gu Bin visited the family of the eunuchs other than the Zhang family for the first time. He had just passed several Hou Mansion Mansions along the road, although the regulations of the Yang Mansion were much inferior to those mansions, but when he saw a lot of cars and horses coming in and out of the West Corner Gate, he was still a little frightened, and it was easy to cheer up and talk to the porter, but he was disappointed.

"The lord is really not worthy today, but he is uncomfortable, so I don't see outsiders, and these adults who came to visit him haven't seen it, it's not that we deliberately obstruct the transmission to the son." The middle-aged porter was a little surprised when he saw Gu Bin dressed ordinarily, but he spoke very politely, "However, if there is anything important about the son, we can tell him on my behalf." ”

Gu Bin pinched the bag in his hand, gritted his teeth and handed it over: "Please bring this thing into Lord Yang, just say that this is the object he left behind, and the old man will visit later." ”

The middle-aged porter glanced at the bag and found that it was a fallen flower brocade that had flipped on the side, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Although he suspected that this prisoner was here to fight the autumn wind, since the other party said that it was an object left by the master, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the things and asked the steward to report it. I didn't know how many times I turned my hand at this level, and finally it arrived in the hands of Yang Rong in the study.

Yang Rong looked at the jade pendant again and again, and gradually had an impression in his heart, but he was extremely surprised. When he was just admitted to the Jinshi and entered the Hanlin Academy, it can be said that when he was young and ambitious, he once wanted to come over to a good story of the grace of a drop of water to repay him, but as his status became higher and higher, the other party never came to the door, so he had to let his subordinates go to the place in the past to inquire, but he learned that the other party was a foreigner and had already left, which became a continuous kindness. At this time, when he saw the old things again, he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, and immediately ordered his subordinates to invite people in.
