At night, the bustling Fenglingdu gradually calmed down.

Under the boundless night, in addition to the howling cold wind that endlessly ravaged the land of Guanzhong, it was the goose feather snow that swept the sky under the night wind.

The pass at night, the wind in the night, is very barren......

At this time of year, in this kind of weather, where will there be new guests to stay? So the Fengling Inn turned off the lights early, closed the door and closed.

In the entire Fengling Inn, it was even quieter than outside the inn.

The occupants of each room turned off the lights and went to sleep, and the doors of each room were closed, unaware of what was going on.

Only the westernmost room on the second floor was brightly lit, and it seemed that he had not yet fallen asleep.

The owner of this room is Guo Ye.

In the room at this time, in addition to Guo Ye, there were also Zhenniang and Zhao Jiuchou.

Guo Ye and Zhao Jiuchou sat around the table and talked, while Zhen Niang poured hot water into the wooden basin by herself, and from time to time reached into the wooden basin to test the water temperature.

After a while, she picked up the wooden basin and walked to Guo Ye, and said in a low voice: "Big official, the water temperature is just right, you can soak your feet first." ”

After that, he immediately put the wooden basin in front of Guo Ye's heels, squatted on the ground to take off his boots and socks for him, and then slowly put Guo Ye's feet in the wooden basin and soaked them in hot water.

"Hiss......"

Guo Ye immediately felt the heat when his feet entered the water, and after groaning his teeth, he praised: "Not bad, my feet have been frozen for a day, and I am relieving fatigue, tsk, comfortable!" ”

After praising it, Zhen Niang continued to squat on the ground to wash Guo Ye's feet, her tender little hands rubbed on Guo Ye's feet, and under the touch of her hands and feet, a strange feeling floated all over Guo Ye's body, and she couldn't stop praising a few times.

Comfortable is comfortable, but he has no time to work on Zhen Niang now, because he and Zhao Jiuchou are talking about business, so he has to put aside the strange stimulation brought by the beauty's feet.

While enjoying his hot feet, he turned around and asked Zhao Jiuchou beside him: "Hey, Jiuchou, let's continue, where did you just go?" ”

Zhao Jiuchou knew that Guo Ye had a little thought about Zhen Niang, and he was already surprised, so he returned to the topic and replied: "I was talking about Gu Sanye just now, after dinner today, didn't you ask me to track Gu Sanye's whereabouts?" I followed him from after dinner until one watch, and found that this old ghost did not live in the Fengling Inn at all, and this old ghost was very vigilant, and followed him for almost two hours. ”

As soon as Guo Ye heard Zhao Jiuchou say this, he clapped his hands again and again and shouted: "Look, look, I'm right, right?" I'll just say that this old ghost is not simple at all. And I found out that he said this on purpose today. Speak specifically to one person. ”

Zhao Jiuchou was not as subtle as Guo Ye's observation, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that he discovered your identity?" ”

After Guo Ye heard this, his cheeks suddenly turned red, and he said: "Zhao Jiu is ugly, don't bury people like this." I'm a little six-pin Xiao cavalry captain, a small Xichuan protector who has passed the gas, and has nothing to do with the Guanzhong area, and he told me about the disasters in several state capitals downstream. ”

Zhao Jiuchou asked: "Then the lord just said that the old ghost Gu San said this on purpose today, specifically for one person?" ”

Guo Ye was a little depressed Zhao Jiu's ugly reaction, but Zhen Niang, who was washing his feet, suddenly raised her head, blinked her eyes, and asked softly: "The big official said that this person is not the old man in Confucian clothes today?" ”

"It's still a virgin girl!"

Guo Ye praised it, couldn't help but stretch out his right hand, pinched Zhen Niang's watery cheek, and rubbed the oil and said: "This time I took Zhen Niang to Chang'an, I really didn't bring it wrong, come, let the little brother ...... me."

"Yikes!!"

Zhen Niang's little face was pinched by Guo Ye, and she suddenly jumped up in shame and panic, staggered, and splashed the warm water in the wooden basin on the ground.

Puff, Zhen Niang took three or two steps back, fled to the door, and shouted with some trepidation: "How can a big official be so Meng Langli? The slave family went back to the room to rest first, tomorrow, see you tomorrow......"

Bang dang~

opened the door, grabbed the door and walked out, his posture was as strong as a rabbit, and he immediately fled.

Only then did Guo Ye react, he was indeed a little frivolous when he teased Zhen Niang in front of Zhao Jiuchou.

Seeing Zhenniang fleeing from the wilderness, she glanced at Zhao Jiuchou embarrassedly and smiled embarrassedly.

Who knew that Zhao Jiuchou didn't look at him at all, and obviously he didn't bother to care about Guo Ye's dirty things.

On the contrary, he asked Guo Yedao with interest: "It turns out that the adult said that the old man?" By the way, at dinner, my lord, you said that this old man is not simple, could it be that he is not a big man? ”

Guo Ye didn't answer Zhao Jiuchou's question immediately, picked up a footcloth from under his buttocks and wiped his soaked feet, then stood up and walked to the door, closing the door again.

Then while walking back slowly, he said: "Whether he can be called a big man or not, I don't know now." However, I look at this old man, his conversation is extraordinary, and his innate momentum is also formed by years of pampering, and he asked me the sentence 'also from Chang'an', I can conclude that this old man must be not small. If you look closely today, you will find that when the third master Gu spoke, his eyes were basically locked on the old man, obviously deliberately, or specially for the old man. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Ye deliberately lowered his voice and said: "What the old ghost Gu San said today has an extraneous sound, and the implication is to tell this old man again that the imperial court has indeed allocated 1.5 million yuan of disaster relief silver, but it has not been used for disaster relief. It's ......"

"But what?"

Guo Ye glanced at him and snorted: "Stupid, such a huge sum of money was allocated to several state capitals, but it was not used for disaster relief, it was obviously greedy by the officials of several state capitals." ”

Zhao Jiuchou's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "What? They dare to be greedy for this disaster relief silver, how many fucking people have died, could it be that the assassins of these state capitals are all wolf-hearted? Aren't they afraid that because so many people starved to death, the court will be suspicious and investigated? ”

Guo Ye shook his head lightly, and suddenly sneered: "People die for money, birds die for food, as for why these state capitals are so blatant, and so stupid to covet this huge amount of disaster relief silver, it is unknown." Perhaps, there is a bigger secret behind it, and it needs to be pulled out little by little. By the way, let's get down to business......"

After two sounds, Guo Ye knocked on the table twice, and said softly: "A case of embezzlement that can involve several state capitals or adjutants below the history of assassination is not trivial." Coupled with the intention of Gu San's speech today, as well as the famine in the lower reaches of the Yellow River that the old man's questions are not far from the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and he came from Chang'an, based on all kinds of signs and clues, the identity of this old man should be about to come out, right? ”

Zhao Jiuchou Huo Ran got up and shouted categorically: "He is from the imperial court, and he must have come specifically for the disaster situation in several state capitals downstream." ”

"That's right!"

Guo Ye nodded and replied: "Moreover, I believe that this old man originally came to investigate the disaster, but after arriving at Fenglingdu, he found that behind the famine in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, there were also cases involving the corruption of several state capitals. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to bring only two servants from Chang'an, hehe, if he really wants to investigate the extensive corruption of ink, with the three of them, he is simply more than enough and not enough. ”

Zhao Jiuchou heard that this matter was quite serious, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "My lord, since the imperial court has sent someone to verify this matter, then let's not be nosy, right?" Moreover, we are now on the territory of those corrupt officials, if, in case ......"

Guo Ye knew very well that Zhao Jiuchou was right, if the assassins of several state capitals downstream were involved in the case of embezzlement of ink and disaster relief silver, then participating in this case would definitely be a high risk factor.

Don't look at these stolen officials as scholars, as long as their fundamental interests are touched, Guo Ye firmly believes that these Sven people will definitely tear off their glamorous coats and show their hideous claws.

When the time comes, the three of them, their fists can rival hundreds or thousands of legs, and the other party will evaporate for themselves, then it will really be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye hesitated a little......

Tuk tuk tuk ~~

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Guo Ye's thoughts.

Zhao Jiuchou's face changed suddenly, and he instantly picked up the golden wire ring knife on the table and was about to break the door, but Guo Ye grabbed the impulse, shook his head and signaled him not to act rashly.

At this time, Zhao Jiuchou, in Guo Ye's opinion, was a bit of a rush of grass and trees.

After stopping Zhao Jiuchou, he asked out of the door in a condensed voice, "What person?" ”

"This little brother, do you remember the old man who talked to you during dinner in the lobby today?"

A loyal and peaceful voice sounded from outside the door, listening to the meaning of his words, it should be the servant of the Confucian old man today.

Immediately, Guo Ye replied: "Remember, what's the matter?" ”

The man outside replied: "My lord wants to invite my little brother to come over the room, saying that there is an important matter to talk to you." ”

Guo Ye was very surprised in his heart, grandma's, and took the initiative to come to the door.

And he dared to conclude that the old man, as he expected, was also aware of the greedy ink case behind the famine. But at present, the Yellow River is impassable, and the old man can't ask for reinforcements from Chang'an, so when there is an extreme shortage of people under his hands, he thinks of himself who has a relationship with him.

Everyone has come to the door, it seems that they can't get away with this matter, otherwise when they get to Chang'an, if this old man is a big guy in the court, then he will not be mixed up in the country?

Immediately, he rushed out of the door and replied: "Inform your master to stay for a while, and I will meet him in the room in a while." ”

After that, he sighed bitterly at Zhao Jiuchou: "Look, he can't hide from this matter, he took the initiative to come to the door." ”

Zhao Jiuchou was also quite speechless, following Guo Ye for so long, he found that he could kick him in everything.

Regardless of whether he is active or passive, in his opinion, Guo Ye is born to be a master who invites disasters and causes trouble! , the home of reading! Unique URL:
