"It's true!" The subordinate of the report nodded very affirmatively.

Li Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then after waving his subordinates away, he sat there and pondered for a while, and then whispered to himself: "Cui Gan is actually building a house?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the person who reported it was very sure, Li Xiu would also be a little incredulous about it, but this is the case, according to what the subordinate saw with his own eyes just now, today Cui Gan suddenly went out of the city in a carriage, and then went to a big mansion under construction to take a turn, and even personally put forward some opinions, and after Cui Gan left, this subordinate also inquired about those who worked, and determined that this mansion was built by Cui Fu.

What surprised Li Xiu even more was that the house built by Cui Gan was not very far from his house, to be exact, it was on the side of Nanshan, Nanshan was originally the most ideal summer retreat place for the nobles of Chang'an, so there were also all kinds of courtyards built there, if it was placed in normal times, it would be nothing for Cui Gan to build a house there, but at this time it seemed a little subtle.

"First resigned, and then built a house in Nanshan, does he really plan to retire in Chang'an?" Li Xiu whispered to himself at this time, after Pei Lin resigned, he had been living in a separate courtyard on the other side of Nanshan and making a gesture of retirement, and now Cui Gan's performance is almost exactly the same as Pei Lian, but Pei Lin was originally to protect himself, so as not to be liquidated by Li Shimin.

But now Cui Gan's situation is completely different from Pei Lian's, not to mention that his previous resignation was too sudden, and there was no warning at all, but after his resignation, he stayed in Chang'an, a place of right and wrong, you must know that Li Shimin's suppression of the family has just begun, if Cui Gan stays here, sooner or later he may be targeted by Li Shimin, it can be said that his stay in Chang'an is simply the way to take trouble,

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu also felt that Cui Gan's actions during this period of time were abnormal, and there was no reasonable explanation anyway, but the more abnormal it was, the more he felt that Cui Gan must be hiding some ulterior secrets behind him.

In the next few days, Li Xiu also sent more people to continue to keep an eye on Cui Gan, and at the same time, he also entered the palace again to talk to Li Shimin about this matter, but Li Shimin didn't have much reaction to this, after all, Cui Gan just built a house to live in, maybe he really planned to retire in Chang'an, or to live in his nephew Pei, compared to his resignation before, building a house is indeed not a big deal.

However, Li Xiu has not been very relieved, and asked Cui Gan about the news every day, but the news reported by the subordinates made him scratch his head, because Cui Gan behaved too normally, and he stayed at home since he resigned, and occasionally went out to Nanshan, urging the craftsmen to speed up the progress, it seems that he is looking forward to this Nanshan Courtyard.

That afternoon, Li Xiu returned home as usual, and then summoned the person who was staring at Cui Gan to inquire, but the other party said this time: "Master, Cui Gan went to the Nanshan Courtyard again today, and the house over there has been almost built, but after he left the Nanshan Courtyard today, he didn't go home immediately." ”

"Oh? So where did he go? Li Xiu also asked with a shock when he heard this, because Cui Gan's performance during this time was too normal, except for the Nanshan Courtyard at home, he had never been to other places at all, and today was finally a little different.

"This ......" I saw that the subordinate hesitated for a moment, and then he spoke, "Cui Gan went to Mr. Tian's place, and he has been talking until now and has not left." ”

"Tian Chip? What did he do at the Xinzhu Academy? Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, Cui Gan knew Tian Chip, he knew, and even Tian Chip was once Cui Gan's subordinate, and when he and Cui Gan first went head-to-head, he saw him at Tian Chip, but why did Cui Gan go to Tian Chip at this time?

Tian Chip is not from a family, and he doesn't have much connection with the family, Li Xiu has already found out this, and Tian Chip and Cui Gan are only in the relationship between their superiors and subordinates, and they don't have much friendship with each other, which Li Xiu also asked Tian Chip in person, but now Cui Gan went to Tian Chip for no reason, which really makes people a little unable to guess his thoughts.

"No, I have to go myself!" Li Xiu immediately stood up and said, and then he didn't even bother to drink tea, so he hurried to the Xinzhu Academy, because his intuition told him that Cui Gan would never visit an old subordinate for no reason.

The Xinzhu School was originally not far from Li Xiu's house, so it was just a cup of tea, Li Xiu came to the school, but when he found Tian Chip, he found that the other party was teaching the child, but Cui Gan was not here, Li Xiu usually would not interrupt him to teach the child, but today's thing was really strange, so he motioned to the other party to stop the class, which made Tian Chip also very strange, but he still stopped the lecture and let the children preview first.

"What's the matter with the colt?" Tian Chip asked strangely immediately after walking out of the classroom.

"Cui Gan, wasn't he here just now?" Li Xiu also immediately asked, and at the same time turned his head to look around, but he didn't see Cui Gan's shadow at all.

"Cui Gong has already gone back, what is the matter with the colt looking for him?" Tian Chip heard Li Xiu ask about Cui Gan, and he was relieved at the moment, he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, let alone the complicated relationship between Li Xiu and Cui Gan, and even thought that Li Xiu was so anxious to see Cui Gan.

"It's not like anything, but I heard he came to you, so I wanted to ask what he talked to you about?" Li Xiu asked again at this time, when the next person reported to him just now, Cui Gan was still here, but he only spent a cup of tea on the road, and the other party left, is this too coincidental?

"It's okay for Gong Cui to look for me, it's just that he said that he went to Nanshan today, and he happened to pass by me when he returned to the city, so he came to chat with me for a while." Although Tian Chip wondered why Li Xiu was interested in what he was talking about with Cui Gan, he still replied.

"What exactly did you talk about?" Li Xiu asked again reluctantly, and the expression on his face became very solemn.

"This ......" Tian Chip didn't expect Li Xiu to even inquire about the content of his conversation with Cui Gan, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment, and even a little unhappy, after all, this was a private conversation between himself and Cui Gan, and it was really inconvenient to tell others.

"Brother Tian, what you talked about with Cui Gan is likely to be related to the stability of the court, so please tell me!" Li Xiu said solemnly again at this time, he also knew that it was a bit rude to ask such a question, but now he couldn't care about it.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Tian Chip had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, in fact, we really didn't talk about anything, but Cui Gong seemed to be very interested in the school, so he asked me a lot about the school." ”
