So Du Jingyi patted Tai Ge'er's head and said.

"Maybe. Mother is very happy that Tai Ge'er can see this. However, you can no longer tell others what you have said today. You will have a heavy burden in the future, so you must remember to be careful with your words and actions."

Tai Ge nodded thoughtfully, and then added.

"The Master also taught that when serving the lord, one should be cautious at the beginning and respectful at the end."

Du Jingyi was very satisfied with his answer. As for the three brothers, they were too full and tired, and they were dozing off with their eyes closed.

After the palace banquet, everything returned to normal.

The emperor did not write until the sixteenth year, so all the nobles in Sui'an City were at ease at home, reuniting with their families. However, there were always some people causing trouble, such as the restless Dingping Marquis Mansion.

Lord Dingping, who was practicing calligraphy, was relatively calm. However, after listening to the report from the visitor, the calculation in his eyes became apparent again.

"Is the news true?"

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. It came from the third house of the merchant family, so there is no doubt about it."

"I didn't realize that Madam Gu is such a ruthless character. She usually seems to be very low-key, but she killed an entire family with just one move. She is really capable. First, find the woman and the child who escaped. No matter what method you use, I want them to change their statements and testify against the General's Mansion. You disregarded human lives and forced your relatives to death!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The people in the fifth house did not have the chance to use the news of Madam Gu's death to exchange for wealth and glory, but instead used the destruction of their own family to give Marquis Dingping a reason to clean up the general's mansion. It really was a two-pronged approach to the same end.

At this moment, he was still confined to the power struggle between the new and old ministers. Little did he know that the General's Mansion he wanted to deal with had already whipped up its hands and was ready to take another path.

Wangzhou, in the Hu Ben Army camp.

Liu Xun and Xing Zhao, who had disguised himself, had already figured out the situation of the unreported mountain range. It was the same as what Xing Zhao had done when he investigated the situation in Yizhou, that is, concealing and underreporting in order to reduce the taxes that Wangzhou had to pay.

"This family is really disgusting. They had such a hard life in the first half of their lives, and finally got this huge wealth, but they don't want to help people who were once as miserable as themselves. All they think about is how to exploit the people and make profits."

Xing Zhao sneered at the actions of Princess Yuehua and King Min.

If it weren't for Emperor Kaizong's successful uprising, they would probably still be living in the mountains, eating coarse food. They don't cherish it, it's really despicable! Gu Shaoyu didn't think anything of Xing Zhao's complaints, but responded calmly.

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This kind of saying is probably only written in books. Do you really believe it?"

"That's true, but Yizhou and Wangzhou are both like this, and the fiefs of other royal relatives must not be much better. Cousin, do you want to continue investigating?"

"No need for that. Let's leave this matter of dealing with the clan members to the Crown Prince. It will also give him a chance to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and establish the emperor's authority."

Everything Gu Shaoyu does now is considered as "acts of rebellion."

He can investigate, but that doesn’t mean he will find out.

Firstly, the current emperor might not want to get to the bottom of the matter and might even want to protect his uncles in the hope of getting something else. Secondly, a grand ceremony would give those officials in Sui'an City who were waiting for him to make a mistake and report to the emperor ample opportunity.

He was not afraid, but his wife and children were at home in Sui'an City, so he had to be on guard.

"So we're just going to sit back and watch?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Gu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xing Zhao, who suddenly understood. That's right, if his cousin was a coward, he wouldn't have reached his current position.

So he was looking forward to the day when King Min would become a mute and unable to express his suffering.

Soon, Gu Shaoyu gave the order.

"Find someone to redraw this map according to what you found. I want to see how much difference there is between the complete map of Wangzhou and the one sent here!"

"Yes, General!"

After saying this, Gu Shaoyu glanced at Liu Xun and then said to him.

"You can return to Sui'an City later. Remember to be careful on the road. Dingping Houfu and others will never give up. Protect Madam and Tai Ge'er carefully. If necessary, take the secret passage and send them to a safe place to wait. Got it?"

"Don't worry, General. I know what to do."

After saying that, Liu Xun did not leave any time to rush to pack his luggage and take enough dry food, and soon disappeared in the military camp.

His arrival and departure were so unnoticed that no one else noticed.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"My mother should be on her way north. I think she will be able to support my cousin's wife when she arrives."

Aunt Xing's reputation still has some connections in both Jinling City and Sui'an City, so after Xing Zhao finished speaking, Gu Shaoyu nodded.

No matter how capable Du Jingyi is at strategizing and how smart he is, his age and experience are there, especially in Sui'an City, where any stone can kill a group of powerful people, so it is better to be careful.

"Have all the matters in Xuanzhou been arranged?"

"Don't worry, cousin. Brother He is surrounded by people with real talents and hard work. Xuanzhou's current achievements are inseparable from the support of the Gu family behind the scenes, so they promised to take good care of Brother He."

"Well, that's good."

Du Jingyi always thought that her brother-in-law was able to be transferred from Pingzhou to Xuanzhou because of Xing Zhao's approach, but she didn't know that when the old Marshal Gu and the old Madam Gu were alive, they had saved the life of the current Governor of Xuanzhou.

Therefore, it was natural that he was the one who arranged these matters, and it actually benefited Xing Zhao, making the people of the Du and He families extremely grateful to him.

"You do good things without leaving your name. I see that you are becoming more and more low-key, cousin."

"My father-in-law's family is too polite. They won't talk to me about anything. They always think they are embarrassing me and that they owe me something. So why don't you just come forward? Maybe they can accept it more calmly."

"That's quite frank. My cousin's wife is really rich. She just gave me a silver note of 200,000 taels to let me smooth things over! 200,000 taels is enough to pay the Tiger Guards for a month."

Seeing him say it so consciously, Gu Shaoyu didn't hesitate and stretched out his hand and spoke.

"It's rare that you have such awareness, so take it out, so that these brothers can have something to save their lives!"

Xing Zhao cursed, but still took out the well-preserved silver note from his arms and said while muttering.

"What a black-hearted person!"
