Gu Jian looked at Gu Heng and hesitated before slowly persuading: "Childe, I'm a little worried, the master's matter has not been dealt with in the palace yet, if the palace..."

Gu Heng's eyes were dumbfounded, his eyes showed fear, and Gu Jian sighed softly: "Childe, we can't sit still." ”

"Then what do you say?" Gu Heng said a little irritably, he didn't know what to do at all, now that all the powers of the Gu Mansion have been deprived, they are actually waiting to be dealt with, when, the matter of the master is clear, and the handling in the palace will come down, and it may be the end of the Gu Mansion.

Gu Heng suddenly regretted a little, he shouldn't have taken the position of the head of the family, if he could survive this catastrophe safely, the future would naturally be immeasurable, but what if he couldn't get by? Gu Heng suddenly resented his father, why did he get so many women.

Gu Jian saw his fear, felt a little disdainful in his heart, and said softly: "When the master was alive, he laid out a few dark chess, and the palace didn't know, Childe, we can activate these dark chess." ”

Gu Heng perked up when he heard this, looked up at him, and asked with a little surprise, "Oh, is it? Why don't I know?"

Gu Jian sighed, walked over, took down a god statue on the bookshelf, flipped a switch at the bottom, a secret door popped up behind the god statue, and he took out a stack of things from it and handed it to Gu Heng.

Gu Heng was very surprised to see him doing all this, that god statue looked very ordinary, it had been there for many years, he had placed it there when he was very young, but he didn't expect that there was actually this mechanism inside.

I took these pieces of paper, on the top are a few silver tickets, the denomination of the silver tickets is relatively large, the smallest is 5,000 taels, the next three are a house deed, this house is in Jingyi, the second is a field deed, there are about 100 acres of paddy fields, and the last one is a few names and contact information.

"These?" Gu Heng arranged a few pieces of paper on the desk, then looked up at Gu Jian and asked suspiciously.

"This is the back road prepared by the master. Gu Jian sighed in a low voice, the internal guard business is too dangerous and precarious, so Gu Shuo has prepared a way back for himself.

"What about those few?" Gu Heng looked at the list, there were only six names on it, four of them were in Yangzhou, two were in Jiankang, and four in Yangzhou, three were in the city and two were outside the city. The occupations engaged in are also different, three in the city, one is called ****, as a servant in the Salt Industry Chamber of Commerce; one is called Liang Dao, who drives a horn boat in the city, which is unique to Yangzhou City, similar to the carriage of the imperial capital, and the third is in the Assassin Mansion, which is the errand of the Assassin Yamen, named Zeng Hao. The one outside the city is a mulberry farmer, who lives in the south of the city, on the edge of the Yangtze River.

In addition to the name, there is also a contact information.

Gu Heng looked down at the list, and after a long while, he figured out that this should be the escape route prepared by his father. In the event of an accident, Zeng Hao, who assassinated Shi Yamen, can provide news, and the Yangzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce has always had great powers, if there is any news, they will definitely get the news first, so **** is responsible for supplementing, as for Liang Dao, it is obvious that he is responsible for helping Gu Shuo escape.

"What do they want them to do?" Gu Heng asked with a wry smile, Gu Jian had obviously thought about it, and stepped forward and whispered: "The matter of the master is bound to make the palace suspicious of my Gu Mansion, Gongzi, we must make meritorious service, only meritorious service can get the understanding of the palace, can we gain the trust of the palace, and Gongzi can regain control of the internal guard of Yangzhou." ”

Gu Heng smiled bitterly in his heart, frowned deeply, sighed and said, "I also want to make meritorious contributions, but how can I make meritorious contributions? What do we have to do to satisfy the palace?"

Gu Jian also sighed: "It's difficult, but the palace must care about two things, one is the Hundred Workshops, we can't get involved in this matter for the time being, and the other is that this time the imperial court asked Yangzhou for three million taels of silver, if we make meritorious contributions on this, the palace should definitely be satisfied." ”

"You mean to enable ****?" Gu Heng asked.

"And Zeng Hao. Gu Jian explained: "As far as I know, this time the imperial court asked Yangzhou for five million taels of silver, of which the Qin Chaxing camp is responsible for three million, which is also the reason for the auction of 1,500 mu of salt fields, but what will the Salt Industry Chamber of Commerce and the Assassin's Mansion do? Will it be secretly obstructed, the imperial court does not know, if we can provide information in this regard, the palace will be satisfied." ”

Gu Heng nodded thoughtfully, and was about to agree, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words: "Let me think about it again, this matter, by the way, my father laid out a few chess pieces, have you laid a few chess pieces?"

Gu Jian shook his head: "The son is too worried, his subordinates don't have the opportunity to deploy such chess pieces, in fact, the master's cloth is also equivalent to the cloth of his subordinates." ”

Gu Heng was slightly stunned and immediately understood that this Gu Jian was Gu Shuo's henchman, judging from this idol, Gu Shuo had not hidden anything from Gu Jian, not even the way to escape from him, Gu Shuo was naturally Gu Jian's.

After Gu Jian went out, he stood on the corridor, looked back at the study, shook his head slightly, passed through the moon gate, and met Gu Wei head-on. Gu Wei stood in the shadows, and the moonlight fell on him like a layer of silver ash.

Looking up and seeing Gu Jian, Gu Wei took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "What does Childe think?"

Gu Jian sighed: "The son just took over, and he is not familiar with anything, alas, the biggest mistake of the master is that he did not choose one of the two sons." ”

Gu Wei was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "The second son is still suitable, and the eldest son is even more uncomfortable with these." ”

The two of them turned around and walked away, out of the small courtyard, Gu Wei stopped, Gu Jian frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, and left on his own.

Gu Wei looked around, turned around and walked towards the corner door on the side, through the corner gate, it was a smaller courtyard, the room was lit up, Gu Wei looked around, walked to the door, pushed the door in, and a delicate figure pounced into his arms.

Gu Heng sat in front of the bookcase, looking at the few pieces of paper in front of him, now his mind was confused, and he didn't know if he should take Gu Jian's suggestion.

After sitting for a long time, he picked up a few silver tickets and counted them, the amount of silver tickets was 16,000 taels, which just alleviated his current financial difficulties, after thinking about it, he put away the silver tickets, looked at the deed again, sighed silently, and put the deed away.

Finally, his gaze fell on the last list, Gu Heng watched silently, the flame on the oil lamp swayed gently in the breeze, the tongue of the lamp swayed, shining on his face, his gaze was solemn.

His mind gradually calmed down, looking at the list, now this list is the only force he can rely on, but what should he do? Gu Jian said that he wants to spy on the Salt Industry Chamber of Commerce and the Assassin Mansion, but can this satisfy the palace? Gu Heng felt that it was unlikely, but otherwise, what could he do?

He felt so tired, and finally felt that this job was difficult, slowly, he cleared out his thoughts, Gu Jian's suggestion was reasonable, but it was not enough to satisfy the palace, if you want to make the palace satisfied, only by finding out the hundred workshops can the palace be satisfied, but how can you find out the hundred workshops?

He remembered what his father left behind, the information of the Hundred Workshops slowly slid through his mind, and slowly his thinking became clear, the Hundred Workshops can be hidden so tightly, maybe it has something to do with Yangzhou officialdom, and he has been engaged in auctions over the years, and it should have something to do with the shopping malls in Yangzhou, the officialdom is not easy to say, how can the shopping malls find out? With the way the Hundred Workshops operate, the merchants and him are cooperating with him, even if they find the merchants, they may not be able to find them, so they can only be started by the officialdom.

Yangzhou Thorn Mansion, Yangzhou County Guard, or Yangzhou County National Soldiers?

That's right, the county soldiers!

To deal with the Hundred Workshops, it is necessary to mobilize the soldiers of the county, maybe the sailors?

But is it the sailor or the county soldier?

Gu Heng's thinking became clearer and clearer, he could only start from the officialdom, and he had to comprehensively monitor the Assassin's Mansion and the County Guard's Mansion, but how could he monitor the Assassin's Mansion and the County Guard's Mansion now? The original internal guards were no longer under the control of the Gu Mansion.

Sighing softly, Gu Heng put away the list, hesitated for a moment, he picked it up again, and wrote down Zeng Hao's contact information, and after hesitating again, he wrote down the contact information of **** again, **** may not be able to play a role in the matter of Baigongfang, but in the Yantian auction, maybe it can be effective.

After thinking clearly, Gu Heng was a little anxious to see someone from the palace.

Getting up and walking around the house, Gu Heng looked at the night in the courtyard, sighed deeply, lit the lantern, blew out the lamp, and went out with the lantern.

Standing in the courtyard and looking up at the starry sky, he sighed deeply again.

When all was gone, a figure jumped down from the eaves, and the figure gently picked the lock of the study, pushed the door and entered, the room was very dark, but the shadow was as flat as he walked on the ground, and quickly found the bookcase, took out the piece of paper with the name on it, looked at it carefully in the moonlight, and then put it in again, came out and closed the door, jumped on the roof, and went to the backyard.

Gu Heng walked very slowly with the lantern, he did not go to the backyard, but a side courtyard, although the backyard was very large, but that was where Gu Shuo's wife and concubine lived, although Gu Shuo died, and his mother also moved away, but he still did not move to the backyard, but still lived in the side courtyard with his wife and concubine.

The black shadow drifted from the roof like a black smoke, watching Gu Heng walk into the courtyard, his yard was relatively large, there was a two-story small building in the middle, and there were several huts next to it, a maid sat in the room and dozed off, heard the door ring, and hurriedly got up.

The girl brought washing water, Gu Heng washed it simply, the girl then washed his feet, Gu Heng leaned back on the chair, her brows furrowed, the girl looked at his face, and didn't dare to say more.

"Is Madame asleep?"

"Madame has fallen asleep. The girl replied cautiously, Gu Heng hasn't slept here in the past few days, either in the study or at the concubine's, Madame thought he wouldn't come over tonight, so she fell asleep.

Gu Heng didn't make a sound, the girl's movements were very light, but she washed very carefully, which made Gu Heng feel very comfortable, and after a while, he actually snored softly.

Seeing this scene on the roof, the black shadow quietly covered the tiles, turned over and looked at the night sky, and sighed in the same way, frowning slightly.

Tonight's harvest is not small, what surprised him was Gu Wei, the identity of the woman in the room has not been found out, but it is definitely not Gu Wei's wife, maybe it is a girl in the backyard, and it may even be Gu Shuo's concubine.

From this point of view, this Gu Wei should be very suspicious!

But the question arises again, how was this Gu Wei developed by that person? Is it because of this woman or for other reasons?

Gu Jian's figure came to mind again, this face was very ordinary, not the slightest surprise, so far, he had not found any problems, but Liu Han felt that he should have a problem.

Gu Mansion is the Yangzhou Internal Security Governor's Mansion, and the guards in the mansion are still very strict, but these strict guards are like nothing in his eyes, he walks low and high in the mansion, and the hidden sentry does not see clearly at all, so he passes.

Back in Gu Jian's yard, the lights in the room had been turned off, and the room was dark, he sighed, and was about to leave, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he leaned on the roof and listened, there was only one breath in the house, this breath was short and short, and he obviously did not cultivate.

He looked up and looked around, his brows furrowed deeply, this Gu Jian was actually not at home, how could he not be at home when he saw him coming over just now?

After thinking about it, he didn't move, his divine sense expanded, and he quickly explored the entire courtyard, there was no secret whistle in the courtyard, and his brows were furrowed.

This Gu Jian fell to the bottom and went there.

Gu Jian's suspicions rose suddenly.
