For five days in a row, Gu Wuchen stayed in the Chaotianyi Pavilion on the north bank of the river, and the officials who crossed the river to visit were also endless, first according to the officials under the Inspectorate Department, and then the officials from Dongyang and the township examination or the first in the township examination in the same year, and the officials who had a relationship with Gu Wuchen's father-in-law and the former waiter of the Ministry of Works, Tang Haoxin, also crossed the river to visit Gu Wuchen in Chaotianyi, but let Gu Wuchen, the deputy envoy of Zheng Sipin, go out of the limelight and become the object of conversation and discussion in the streets and alleys of Jiangning City, tea shops and restaurants. It is said that the deputy envoy of the fourth grade of the inspection is more glorious than the envoy the year before last.

On the day of the winter solstice, the weather was hazy, and the cold wind through the city gate cave was howling, Lin Jian and Lin Jingzhong were drinking tea in a tea shop north of Tianhan Bridge, and several tea guests were discussing Gu Wuchen's appointment around the tea table.

"This deputy envoy of the inspection is really married to a good wife, he has been in the army for nearly ten years, and others are only afraid to be ready to bury his bones in a foreign country, but his father-in-law, Tang Haoxin, the former squire of the Ministry of Works, is one of the leaders of the Chu Party in the past, and has always given him the vitality to recover. A few years ago, the Chu Party was suppressed by the Western Qin Party and had no power to fight back, and the Chu Party in the central government either complained of illness like Tang Haoxin, or was deposed and went to the border, and even more miserable was to lose his life locked in a prison, and naturally no one paid attention to a small role for the Liujun. Last year, the officers and soldiers were defeated at Chentangyi in northern Hebei, less than half of the 200,000 Zhen troops fled back to Guannei, and hundreds of thousands of Guanmin were taken away by the Donghu people. Jinshang intends to re-employ the Chu people, but Tang Haoxin is old and has no hope of making a comeback, so Zhang Xie, a personal disciple of Tang Haoxin, entered the center and was appointed as deputy prime minister, regaining the momentum of the revitalization of the Chu party. Zhang Xie naturally also remembers the love of his teacher, how could he allow Chu to be degraded? This deputy envoy first pardoned the previous sins and returned to Beijing to be the review of the Hanlin Academy, and within two months he entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take up the imperial history of the capital...... Looking at the behavior of this deputy envoy in the past few days, the official ships have been coming and going endlessly, but I am afraid that Zhang Xie's visit to the prime minister will be a matter of a few months, and at that time, this deputy envoy will probably no longer be the deputy envoy, but the envoy. ”

It is said that when the two capitals are good at discussing the government and guiding the country, listening to the high-minded talk in the tea shop, Lin Lian thought that this was true, Lin Jingzhong asked Lin Jian in a suppressed voice: "Xiucai, do you say that Gu Wuchen's assassination in Shiliang County was done by the Western Qin Party?" ”

"......" Lin Jian shook his head and smiled, and said, "Who knows? Let's not talk nonsense about this kind of thing. ”

If you are not in the temple, how can you know the depth of the water? Besides, the attack of the DPRK and China is not something that can be guessed by common sense. Tang Haoxin and Zhang Xie were both from Huguang, and only Tang Haoxin and Zhang Xie, who were from Huguang and the opposition were Huguang officials, and they joined forces with the outside world and became the Chu Party. Although Gu Wuchen is not from Huguang, he is the son-in-law of Tang Haoxin, the leader of the Chu Party, so he is naturally regarded as a member of the Chu Party and a backbone.

In addition to the Chu Party, there are also bureaucratic power groups such as the West Qin Party and the Zhejiang Party that have formed forces in the government and the opposition.

Seeing that Zhang Xie was about to pay homage to the prime minister, Chen Xinbo, a Western Qin man who had lived in the phase for a long time, and his colleagues from Western Qin were about to be expelled from Beijing. As the upstart of the backbone of the Chu Party, Gu Wuchen came to Jiangning at this time to serve as the deputy envoy of the press and possibly even further served as the press envoy, giving people the illusion that the Chu party wanted to be wiped out.

If only the Chu Party and the Western Qin Party were fighting for power in the DPRK, they could simply push the assassination of Shiliang County to the head of the Western Qin Party, but now there are many people who hope that the Chu Party and the Western Qin Party will lose both, unless they can pry open the assassin's mouth, how can they determine who instigated the assassination? Besides, the Assassins' claims may not be credible.

Lin Jian thought that Gu Wuchen would be helpless if he didn't take the assassination to heart, he was afraid that finding out the truth would cause bigger waves in the government and the opposition. At present, the DPRK is full of crises and frequent internal and external troubles, and it can no longer withstand the great toss of the DPRK and the Chinese party. Besides, these things are still far away from Lin Bin.

"Ah......" Zhao Hu saw Yang Pu and Gu Tianqiao coming upstairs at this time, and gently reminded Lin Jian to look over.

"Master Yang, Brother Tianqiao, why are you here?" Lin Jian stood up and greeted Yang Pu and Gu Tianqiao, but he didn't expect Gu Wuchen to stay in Chaotianyi and let them go to the city to do things.

"Young Master Lin, it turns out that you are also drinking tea here." Yang Pu and Gu Tianqiao walked towards Lin Lian, Zhao Hu stood up and gave them a seat, and he squeezed a stool with Lin Jingzhong.

Gu Wuchen is hot at this time, Yang Pu, who is deeply trusted by Gu Wuchen, will naturally be a scenic figure in Jiangning City in the future, his impression of Lin Tie cannot be regarded as particularly good, but the second generation of Lin Tie is kind to the Gu family, and Gu Wuchen himself admires Lin Tie quite a lot, Yang Pu knows the balance of proportion than the young son Gu Siyuan and the young master Gu Siming and others, and is also very polite to Lin Tie in words, walked over and sat down, and said to Lin Tie: "We entered the city the day before yesterday, and we can't live directly in an empty house when the adult family enters the city, It needs to be laid out in advance. I've been busy with these things for the past two days, and I just wanted to pull the bridge to the teahouse to rest in the afternoon, but I didn't expect to meet you...... Later, I'm going to go to the Toyo Hall to inquire about your news. ”

Lin Jian knew that Yang Pu was most likely here to listen to the discussion in Jiangning City for Gu Wuchen, so he didn't say anything and asked, "What is the matter with Yang Ye coming to the Dongyang Hall to find me?" ”

"I don't have anything else to do, I just want to ask where you live, and then tell us where you will live in Jiangning City in the future...... The two sides will come and go back and forth often. Yang Pu said, and immediately said that the address of the Gu Mansion in Jiangning City is near Tianhan Bridge, and it is also separated from Yongxingfang where Jiyunju is located by a street and two miles.

Yang Pu didn't expect that Lin Jian would have the ability to buy a house in Yongxingfang, a place where powerful people gathered, as soon as he entered the city. Compared with a small courtyard in the civilian area of Xicheng, it only costs thirty or forty taels of silver, and the most ordinary house on the side of Yongxingfang also costs two or three hundred taels of silver.

"Lord Gu's place in Jiangning, I also have to care about it, so I will trouble Master Yang to take us to recognize a place first," Lin Jian said, "In addition, there will be some Dongyang compatriots gathered in Dongyang Hall tonight, if Yang Ye and Tianqiao are free, please come with me, and everyone can discuss the matter of going to Jiangning for Lord Gu's family to wash the dust......"

Today was the day when Lin Mengde held a dust washing banquet for Lin Tie in the Dongyang Hall, and Lin Tie invited Yang Pu and Gu Tianqiao to go by the way, which meant to be in the middle of the contact. Gu Wuchen will gain a foothold in Jiangning in the future, and naturally he will also use the connections and power of the Dongyang Township Party, Yang Pu also knows this truth, nodded and agreed, and said: "After drinking your tea, I will take you to Gu Mansion to recognize the way first, just around here......"

In fact, when Gu Wuchen went to Jiangning to take up his post, he naturally became the leader of the Dongyang Township Party in Jiangning, and there was no need for Lin Tie to contact him in the middle, and the Dongyang eunuchs and merchants in Jiangning would step through the threshold of Gu's Mansion in the future, in order to take care of and shelter.

Coming out of the teahouse, Lin Jian asked Zhao Hu to go to the Dongyang Hall first, and he pulled Lin Jingzhong to follow Yang Pu and Gu Tianqiao to Gu Mansion to find the way.

Gu Mansion is located in Dongshengmen Street, left and right are deep mansions, Yongchang Hou Mansion, Mu Guo Mansion are nearby. As a house for the local officials of the four products, it is naturally much more magnificent than Jiyunju, even Yang Pu's family can live in a separate courtyard, in addition to the miscellaneous courtyard, the main courtyard has six layers, and there is a half-acre exquisite private garden here, and the whole alley is Gu Fu and the other three families. In addition to the maid and mother-in-law brought by Gu Wuchen from Jingshi and the two envoys sent by Liang Zuoren, the cooks, horsemen and other miscellaneous servants were all dispatched according to the inspection envoy and the yamen.

Lin Jian looked at the two envoys who were handsome, graceful, and not very old, but there was some charm between their eyebrows and eyes, and they all said that it was good to be an official, which can be seen from this, Gu Wuchen has not yet entered the city, and he has been taken care of meticulously, otherwise where are these things that the deputy envoy who has only three hundred stones can enjoy? Of course, there is also the intention of the people in Jiangning to curry favor with the upstarts of the Chu Party.

After sitting in the Gu Mansion for a while, watching the sky and evening, Lin Jian and Lin Jingzhong took Yang Pu and Gu Tianqiao to the Dongyang Hall. The weather is hazy, and the Dongyang Hall is also outside the city, which is a private garden, and it takes a blink of an eye to ride a horse. After Yang Pu and Gu Tianqiao entered the city, there was a carriage provided by the Inspectorate to sit in, and he watched Lin Jingzhong riding a horse in the cold wind and shrunk his head from the cold, while Lin Lian's clothes were thinner but energetic and thoughtful.

Rushing to the Dongyang Hall, Lin Mengde and several people were standing in front of the street waiting, and they could see the courtyard crowded. Lin Tie got off the horse, walked over and held Lin Mengde's hand, and said loudly: "Uncle Mengde, you are really, you said that it was a private banquet to wash the dust for me, but you made such a big scene, didn't you kill the little nephew?" ”

Yang Pu was slightly surprised when he heard Lin Lian say this, he had lived in a foreign land with Gu Wuchen for a long time, and he didn't know the depth of the pool of water in the forest, and he never imagined that Lin Lian would have such a great influence, and the dust washing banquet held for him could gather such a big Dongyang fellow villagers.

Lin Mengde also couldn't say it, he was worried that Lin Tie would send someone to replace him for the Seventh Lady, so naturally he would not do his best to help Lin Tie get acquainted with the Dongyang Township Party, and the so-called dust washing banquet only invited some characters who were defeated in Jiangning, but Lin Tie sent Zhao Hu over in the afternoon to invite Gu Wuchen's cronie Yang Pu and his nephew Gu Tianqiao to come with him, and even bypassed him to spread the news.

All the Dongyang Township Party in Jiangning wanted to tie up most at this time, it was none other than Gu Wuchen. However, not everyone can get close to Zheng Sipin, so he can only do the work from the people around Gu Wuchen first. Gu Wuchen stayed in Chaotianyi for five days, who was light and who was heavy among those people around Gu Wuchen, the Dongyang Township Party had already inquired clearly, and there was such an opportunity to get to know Yang Pu tonight, so naturally he would not rush to be the first.

Yang Pu and Gu Tianqiao didn't know the twists and turns, and really thought that these people were here to wash the dust of Lin Lian; Can Lin Mengde still explain the twists and turns to them?
