Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Pie That Fell from the Palace

A few small notes were put together, and Gonggong Lin copied the contents of the notes word by word onto the paper, his handwriting was beautiful and neat, and it was obvious that he had worked hard.

This kind of thing is usually the work of wheat, but today, he suddenly became interested.

After writing the last word, Gonggong Lin put down his pen, looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and then picked up the small notes, walked to the stove, and threw the notes in.

He lifted the kettle on the small stove, the kettle was already boiling, he picked up the teacup, splashed the tea inside, and re-brewed it.

Sniffed the tea deeply, took a sip of tea beautifully, and sighed comfortably.

It's quiet and lonely, and there's no one in sight in the yard, and no one dares to trespass, and they can't break in.

Quiet, without a bit of popularity.

There are a few small yellow flowers under the tree, which bloom quietly and enjoy the sunlight shining through the branches.

After drinking two cups of tea, he closed his eyes, thought silently for a while, got up and took a slightly thin booklet from the shelf, and slowly flipped through it.

He read very slowly, and after reading a paragraph, he stopped, thought silently for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote a few words, and then continued to look down.

Time passed slowly, the heat in the teacup disappeared, and he didn't seem to notice it, still looking at the booklet intently.

Wheat walked slowly to the door, he straightened his clothes slightly, made a sound carefully, and then called softly: "Ancestor, Wheat asks to see." ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Lin raised his head, looked at the backlit wheat, nodded slightly, and the wheat came in, and he presented the three small bamboo tubes in his hand.

"Ancestor, this is the latest news from Liangzhou. ”

Gonggong Lin was still holding the thin book, nodding slightly at him, and Maizi carefully looked at the small bamboo tube: "The seal is intact." ”

Then open the small bamboo tube, take out the note, the paper is placed side by side on the bookcase, Lin Gonggong still did not move, Maizi took the note, transcribed it, and then sent it to Lin Gonggong.

Lin Gonggong picked it up, it was intelligence from Liangzhou, the situation in Liangzhou was very tense, the imperial court had misjudged before, Tubo's attack this time was not to attack the east and the west, but to attack the east in the west, and the Tubo minister Dejidu mobilized an army of 300,000 and marched eastward with all his might, intending to capture Liangzhou.

After discovering the true intentions of Tubo, the imperial court immediately issued an order to transfer Fang Jin back from Yongzhou, and at the same time dispatched 30,000 troops from the camp of Bishan, and Zhonglang led Wu Qu to the west and rushed to Liangzhou.

In addition to Liangzhou, the northern Saiwai Desert, as winter approached, the Saiwai Hu people were a little quieter, which bought time for the imperial court, and the imperial court secretly transferred 20,000 troops from the Youzhou border army to the west, entered Bingzhou, and was ready to intervene in the desert turmoil at any time.

Now the biggest problem is silver, silver, what is the war for? It is silver!!

With the emptiness of the imperial treasury, there was no way to fight at all, so the imperial court urgently ordered to issue tasks to the states, asking them to raise silver in the shortest possible time.

Maizi stood behind Gonggong Lin, of course he knew what the information sent was, this was the latest battle report, as well as the movements of the officialdom and the gate valve in Liangzhou.

"Ancestor, the situation in Liangzhou seems to have stabilized. Wheat said thoughtfully.

Gonggong Lin nodded and asked casually, "What about him?"

"He's still in the archives. Maizi replied cautiously, he knew who he was, this was referring to Bai Gonggong, maybe he felt that he had been in the internal guard for a long time, and Bai Gonggong began to be a little restless.

But Father-in-law Lin didn't seem to react, and let Father-in-law Bai intervene, and didn't intervene at all.

Wheat was about to speak, when there was a loud footstep outside, and he immediately shut up and stood carefully on the side.

Sure enough, Grandpa Bai's slightly plump body appeared at the door, and when he saw the two people in the room, Grandpa Bai said with a smile: "Hehe, Grandpa Lin, I checked for a long time before I figured it out, hehe, this Sheng Huai is really a problem, and it finally lives up to our family's hard work." ”

Gu Wei impeached Sheng Huai again, and at the same time demanded that the taxes of silk and cotton cloth in Yangzhou in the past few years be investigated, which caused an uproar in the imperial court, the ministers of the court and Shilin were divided into two factions, the main ministers of the court and the central government were opposed, and the Shilin was divided into two factions, the young scholars supported Gu Wei, thinking that Yangzhou should be thoroughly investigated, and the officialdom should be clarified, but those who are older think that they should be serious, and now the border trouble is urgent.

And Shang Shutai is silent at the moment, but it does not mean that Shang Shutai has no opinions, Shang Shutai's opinions are very unified, don't move for the time being, which makes many people a little puzzled.

Gu Wei is Pan Lian's long history, and he can be said to be Pan Lian's henchman, but he has repeatedly impeached Sheng Huai, and Pan Lian should support it, but now, Pan Lian actually opposes Na Shenghuai, which is incomprehensible.

Gu Wei was right. Bai Gonggong said and took out a few files, these are all information sent by Yangzhou internal guards, but they have already been filed, Bai Gonggong sat next to Lin Gonggong, the wheat looked at it quietly, Bai Gonggong picked up a teacup and poured himself a cup of tea, after drinking, said: "This Sheng Huai is really not a thing, his two million is borrowed from the gate valve family, hum, this is borrowed, and it must not be returned, see what he will do next year." ”

"Let Sheng Huai worry about it. Gonggong Lin smiled faintly, not caring about his faux pas.

"That's not good, Lao Lin, if the emperor asks, there will be an answer now. Bai Gonggong said.

Lin Gonggong gestured to the wheat: "The information from Yangzhou is here, take a look." ”

Maizi hurried to the back room and took the information he had just received and that Grandpa Lin had transcribed by himself.

"Who is this Liu Mo, who is !! Hidden Immortal Sect so boldly!!" Bai Gonggong said as he looked at it, without the slightest scruples.

Gonggong Lin sighed: "This Liu Mo is a chess piece planted by Fang Zhen in the imperial capital, and he opened a tea shop in the outer city, his real identity is our person, his real name is Liu Han, and there is also an identity that is the marquis of the forbidden army and the owner of the Hanhai Trading Company." ”

"It turned out to be him. Father-in-law Bai sighed, and then couldn't help but praise: "This Liu Han has the ability, Fang Zhen, the old fox, has been deceived by him." Hidden Immortal Sect, hmph, that sect is so bold!"

Before entering the inner guard, Bai Gonggong did not know the hidden immortal gate, but after entering the inner guard, he first had to read the royal secret file, which contained a detailed introduction to the hidden immortal gate, and at the same time knew the internal guard offerings, as well as their relationship with the internal guard.

This secret file made Bai Gonggong look frightened, if it wasn't for Lin Gonggong solemnly, Bai Gonggong almost thought it was a legend, Lin Gonggong not only explained to him the hidden immortal gate, but also took him to meet the two worshippers, so that the two sides got to know each other, and after coming out of the enshrinement, he introduced him to the captains of the demon slaying team, which made Bai Gonggong realize that this hidden immortal gate is real.

But soon Gonggong Bai knew about the relationship between the Hidden Immortal Gate and the imperial court, but he learned that kind of self-confidence more from Gonggong Mu and Gonggong Lin.

The people around the emperor, even if there is any hidden immortal sect, they must be afraid of three points.

"This, unless you catch that Xiao Lan, it's impossible to find it at all. Gonggong Lin sighed: "The affairs of the Cao Gang are complicated, but fortunately, an inside line was installed in the Cao Gang before. ”

Maizi stood cautiously on the side, not daring to say a word, Bai Gonggong nodded slightly: "Why did they kill this Fang Zhen? He is just the leader of a gang." ”

"There are many reasons for this," Lin Gonggong gestured to Maizi: "Go and bring Liu Han's report to Gonggong Bai." ”

Wheat didn't say a word, went over and took out a piece of paper from the file and sent it to Bai Gonggong.

Bai Gonggong quickly finished reading it, but his brows furrowed: "The internal contradictions of the Cao Gang, this reason is not sufficient." ”

Gonggong Lin nodded: "It's very insufficient, within the Cao Gang, do the people in the Cao Gang have such patience? Hmph, most of them are a wealthy family intervening." ”

"Could it be the King of Huainan?" Father-in-law Bai obviously reacted quickly, immediately understood what Gonggong Lin meant, and further reasoned to the prince.

Yangzhou has been divided into many clans before and after, with Huainan Wang Yanmin the highest, is the uncle of the current emperor, and the King of Qi, this prince has no interest in political affairs, his biggest interest is immortality, all day long cultivation alchemy, acting absurdly, but few people impeach him, the reason is very simple, alchemy is the fashion of this era.

Both the first emperor Taiding and the current emperor were very relieved of this prince, and the internal guards never received any abnormal reports from this prince.

But now that Gonggong Bai mentioned the King of Huainan, Gonggong Lin thought about it and shook his head slightly: "Don't dare to say it." ”

"Don't you dare to say?" Grandpa Bai looked at Grandpa Lin in confusion, and Grandpa Lin nodded: "If it is the King of Huainan, then the matter will be big." ”

"Liu Han wants the eyeliner in the Cao Gang, do you want it?" asked Bai Gonggong.

"What do you see?" Gonggong Lin asked rhetorically, Gonggong Bai thought for a moment and nodded: "Give it to him, this Hidden World Immortal Gate is very important, and this Liu Han may have something to do with the Hidden World Immortal Gate, let him check it, and get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Gonggong Lin nodded: "Okay, let him contact Blue Butterfly." ”

Wheat nodded, he took up the pen and wrote down the contact information of the blue butterfly, and then handed it to Lin Gonggong, after Lin Gonggong read it, he marked a symbol on it, this symbol is his code name, Liu Han saw this symbol and knew that he personally agreed.

Maizi took the note, and in front of Lin Gonggong, divided the paper into seven, each into a small bamboo tube, and then sealed it with wax.

"What about Gu Shuo?" Father-in-law Bai asked, Father-in-law Lin thought about it, and still asked: "The traitor of the Gu family has been investigated, what do you mean, Father-in-law Bai?"

"The Gu family is no longer credible, I think the Yangzhou internal guard will be handed over to Lan Die, and she will command it. Bai Gonggong proposed.

"Blue Butterfly?" Gonggong Lin pondered, obviously, he was hesitating in his heart, and after a while, he said, "I want to give it to Hawkeye." ”

Eagle Eye, the code name of the god eye Lin Huai.

"Hawkeye?" Bai Gonggong thought for a moment and shook his head: "This person, I feel that his position is too low." ”

"Blue Butterfly has no experience, Hawkeye has a lot of experience, and although her status is low, she can find a way. Lin Gonggong said, however, his tone was a little wandering.

"I still think the blue butterfly is the most suitable. Bai Gonggong insisted.

Gonggong Lin smiled faintly, did not insist, but did not agree: "Blue Butterfly's status in the Cao Gang is transcendent, he completely relies on Fang Zhen, once Fang Zhen dies, even if Fang Jie takes over, the role that Blue Butterfly can play is extremely limited." ”

"We are in the Cao Gang, and we don't have only one chess piece for Blue Butterfly, Blue Butterfly's identity cover is very good. "Grandpa Bai is still insisting.

Gonggong Lin thought about it, and suddenly nodded affirmatively: "The blue butterfly is not suitable, and the eagle eye is not suitable, so you have to find someone else." ”

"Looking for someone else?" Father-in-law Bai asked puzzledly, he knew the full list of Yangzhou's internal guards, this list was more complete than Gu Shuo's, Gu Shuo did not have the Cao Gang and the Huaiyang Society, as well as part of the list of the Huainan Palace.

After Gonggong Lin noticed that the internal security information in Yangzhou was abnormal, although he did not find out what the problem was, he took security measures, and after that, the internal guards who were placed in the Cao Gang and the Huaiyang Association did not tell Gu Shuo.

Fortunately, these internal guards were preserved, but Fang Zhen was very cautious, and those promoted to the center were all tested people, and most of them had followed him for many years.

This made it difficult for the internal guards to infiltrate the center of the Cao Gang, and it was not until a few years ago that Blue Butterfly was successfully placed next to Fang Zhen.

Gonggong Lin didn't answer immediately, he took a sip of tea in silence, and only after half a sound did he sigh: "Alas, over the years, the internal guard has been weakened too much. ”

Father-in-law Bai did not answer, over the years, the funds for the internal security have never been sufficient, and the personnel have been reduced a lot, and now that things are coming, Father-in-law Lin can't help but be a little stretched to arrange.

"Alas, that's it, isn't Liu Han in charge of rectifying Yangzhou, let him decide, let's check it. Father-in-law Bai proposed, Gonggong Lin thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay, let him be pretentious first." ”

After saying this, the two drank a few cups of tea, and Gonggong Bai asked again: "How does the emperor decide on the matter of Yangzhou?"
