Gu Fei tells Jiang Weiwei the news from his subordinates.
Jiang slightly frowned and asked, "find out who gave Wei Chi the money?"
"The royal guards searched the whole Jiuqu county according to the clues provided by Wei Chi, but they couldn't find any clues."
"Could Wei Chi provide a false clue?"
"I don't think so. He was beaten half to death by the royal guards. He was frightened and had a low chance of lying."
Jiang Wei thought: "maybe the man behind him has left Jiuqu county."
"Even if people have, it's impossible not to leave a trace. I doubt..." Gu Fei said here, and his expression became a little dark.
Jiang Wei asked, "what do you doubt?"
There were only two of them in the room. There was no need to worry about confidentiality. Gu Fei just hesitated and said his guess.
"I suspect that the people who pay to hire Wei Chi to spread rumors are people inside the royal guards. Only the royal guards can perfectly avoid the pursuit of the royal guards."
Jiang Weiwei was surprised: "you mean there is a traitor under your hand?"
"I'm not sure."
Although royal guards is a whole, its internal relationship is very complex.
Gu Fei is the governor of the North Town governor, and the South Town governor is in opposition to him. There are often small frictions between the two sides. There is muronghu, the commander, on top of Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was not sure whether it was Nanzhen Fu's hand or Murong's hand.
But it's hard to find out who did it.
Jiang slightly raised his hand and covered his forehead.
Gu Fei took back his thoughts and looked at her puzzled.
Jiang Wei gently smoothed his tight frown and said, "don't frown, look old."
Gu Fei hugged her waist, put his chin on her shoulder and didn't speak.
Jiang Weihuan hugged his neck and said with ease.
"In fact, it's nothing, just a few rumors. After a while, everyone will naturally forget it. Besides, I'm not the kind of person who cares what others say. As long as we can live a good life, we don't care what others say. "
In fact, Gu Fei is not the kind of person who cares what others say, but they don't care, doesn't mean others don't care.
Especially those conservatives in the court, they have an almost paranoid pursuit of filial piety. If they know the news that Jiang Weiwei forced her mother to die, they will have to make a scene in front of the emperor.
What will the emperor do?
Gu Fei is not sure.
Although he used to have a good relationship with the son of heaven and they were as close as brothers, they have completely cut off contact since Gu Zheng's death.
After so many years, the hatred has faded, and the Brotherhood has faded.
These troubles can't be solved for a while. Even if you say it, it won't help. On the contrary, it will make you worry a little. Gu Fei didn't say anything, but kissed her on the lips.
"After that, we will live our own life regardless of what others say."
Jiang Wei smiled: "Hmm!"
……
Bianjing, imperial mausoleum.
Xu Yizhi lay on the hard bed and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Xu Yunxiao has been sent away. Like other Xu family members, he should have been sent to the border.
Since he was sent here, he has lived like this every day. He can't do anything. He can only lie motionless in bed and have to be taken care of by others.
The people who served him were two eunuchs. They knew that he was hated by the emperor and would never turn over again. The eunuchs had a very bad attitude towards him, often ridiculed him, and sometimes even deliberately ignored him and let him shit on his body.
Xu Yizhi wanted to die several times, but he still couldn't be cruel, so he lived to this day.
He looked at the bright sky outside, but his heart was gray.
The door was pushed open and someone came in.
Xu Yizhi didn't notice, but he still stared out of the window until the man came to the bed and shouted.
"Duke Xu."
Xu Yizhi took back his sight and turned to look at the man standing by the bed with a surprised look on his face.
"Murong Hu?"
"It's me. Let me see you."
Even though Murong had made psychological preparations before his sudden arrival, he was still frightened by Xu Yizhi's haggard appearance. In his impression, Xu Yizhi was always calm and wise, but Xu Yizhi in front of him was too thin to be an adult. His muddy eyes were gray and could not see a trace of light.
It's a different person.
Xu Yizhi said to himself, "is it the emperor who asked you to see if I'm dead?"
Murong suddenly said, "my coming this time is purely personal will and has nothing to do with others."
Xu Yizhi stared at him for a moment and suddenly smiled, "come on, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
In the past, Murong Hu would be very nervous if he looked at him like this, but now, he is a useless man and has no day to turn over. Murong Hu doesn't need to be afraid of him at all.
So Murong suddenly did not deliberately cover up and said frankly, "I want to know about Gu Fei."
Xu Yizhi is not surprised by this answer.
He had long seen that Murong Hu and Gu Fei did not deal with each other. Now Gu Fei is favored by the emperor. He is already a marquis in the pass at a young age and has a bright future.
In contrast, Murong has been forced much harder. In the past two years, he has not done a beautiful job. His status in the heart of the emperor has declined again and again. The emperor no longer trusts him as before. If this trend continues, he will be taken by Gu Fei sooner or later.
Officialdom is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Murong Hu didn't want to be replaced, so he had to start first and solve Gu Fei.
Therefore, he deliberately used some means to turn a person commonly used by Gu Fei to his own eyeliner.
The rumor that Jiang Weiwei forced her mother to die was deliberately spread by Murong, in order to destroy Jiang Weiwei's reputation in the name of unfilial, and Jiang Weiwei and Gu Fei are husband and wife. They both prosper and lose.
Of course, these are just small hands and can't kill Gu Fei completely.
So Murong Hu specially came to Xu Yizhi today to get some useful information from this old man.
Xu Yizhi asked, "why should I tell you?"
Murong suddenly said, "I know you have a feud with Gu Fei. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Now we are friends. As long as you can tell me Gu Fei's news, I can help you revenge. You and I win-win, won't you? "
"I can tell you about Gu Fei, but you have to promise me a request."
"You say."
"Help me kill those two eunuchs outside. I don't want to see them again."
Murong suddenly smiled: "yes."
If he is a eunuch in the palace, he certainly does not dare to die at will, but this is the imperial mausoleum. Those who can be sent here are people who have no future. It is not a problem to kill one or two eunuchs as Murong Hu.
