Chapter 1525: Chapter 1525: Don’t Owe Them (1)
Gu Qingheng’s mouth twitched: “How can it be so casual? This thing is just a deterrent, only to be used when encountering those utterly unremorseful types, otherwise, it would lead to chaos.”
Yang Ruxin stuck out her tongue, but then she straightened her face, “However, what does the Emperor an by this? Is he asking you to surveil the Crown Prince or Prince Eight?”
Gu Qingheng sat by the table, slowly sipping his tea: “Do you know who that imperial envoy is?”
Yang Ruxin looked up: “Isn’t he a clerk from the Ministry of Rites?”
“Gu Sheng is the Minister of Rites.” Gu Qingheng slightly raised an eyebrow, a strange smile playing on his lips.
“Gu Sheng?” Yang Ruxin widened her eyes, “Are you saying… this Yao Fangshuo is his man?”
Gu Qingheng nodded: “Yao Fangshuo is a disciple of Gu Sheng, personally ntored and promoted by him. Although he’s just a clerk now, managing to obtain the task of an imperial envoy must be Gu Sheng’s doing.
“So what?” Yang Ruxin grasped his hand, “Ever since you decided to end your seclusion, you anticipated this outco, didn’t you? It doesn’t matter if it’s just a disciple, or even if Gu himself ca; you owe him nothing. Besides, the Emperor has given you the Imperial Sword, isn’t that an indication of his protection? If so, it implies that the Gu Family might already be under the Emperor’s suspicion.”
“I didn’t expect Xinxin to think the sa as , I hope we are not misjudging the Emperor’s intentions.” Gu Qingheng chuckled slightly, “Regarding the Gu Family, not only do I owe them nothing, on the contrary, they owe several lives.” The lives of his mother, himself, and those guards who died protecting his departure.
“By the way, about those correspondences I found at Ji Lin’s house, do any of those people have connections to him?” A cunning light flashed through Yang Ruxin’s eyes.
Gu Qingheng shook his head: “I’ve checked those people; none of them are related to the Gu Family.”
“Then, is there a way to implicate them?” Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrow, “Even if there’s nothing, it could still sar him a bit, and also serves as a way to test him, to see if he truly fears the Gu Family.”
“It’s a good plan, but it’s not that simple,” Gu Qingheng smiled, “Both Gu Kun and Gu Sheng are old foxes; they never communicate with outsiders via letters… they always use verbal ssages through people…”
“Could we find these people and then…”
Gu Qingheng shook his head: “Those people are switched out regularly, and as for those who are replaced, I reckon they’re executed…”
Yang Ruxin frowned, the Gu Family truly are cunning foxes, then she waved her hand dismissively: “No matter, there’s plenty of ti ahead. If we can’t find letters, we can find people. We’ll take it slow.”
“I understand, but Xinxin, that person is ruthless and unscrupulous, use any ans necessary to achieve his goals, so, you and your family must be careful…”
“I know.” Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrow, “Don’t worry, I will take good care of myself.” Saying this, she raised her hand and hugged his waist, “You too, nothing is more important than you.”
“Hmm.” Gu Qingheng nodded vigorously.
In the following days, that Yao Fangshuo was busy rewarding the troops.
After confirming that the people in Jin City were completely safe, Yang Ruxin started packing up and preparing to leave.
However, at this ti an incident occurred, that was the news from ng City that Peng Jing seems to have disappeared.
