MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 413 Former dynasty people
Chapter 413 Former Dynasty People
"On that day, I originally planned to take people to join the general. I thought it would be faster, so I took another road. I have walked that road many times. Who knows how I missed the step that day? I fell in along a corridor."
"After falling, my ribs were broken and my legs were injured. I didn't have any tools at hand, so I couldn't climb up. I could only rest for a while and then walk towards the depths. I had to go around a lot. In less than half an hour, I saw a place where the altar was arranged. I carefully counted twelve copper tripods, surrounding the big gilded tripod in the middle. I could tell at a glance that something was being done."
Luo Yuan spoke carefully, and Gu Shaoyu also listened carefully.
"The general was worried that someone might be harmful to the general, so he waited there to see. Sure enough, on the fourth day, people came. The general had never seen those people before, but they didn't look like us. The people in Daxing are darker and not too tall, especially because they have some unknown substance smeared on their faces, which makes them look weird at first sight."
“Nanyang people?”
Gu Shaoyu's words put Luo Yuan in a bit of a dilemma. He had never seen a Nanyang person, so he couldn't judge.
“There is a wizard in Nanyang. I saw him once. He had some evil aura all over his body. He is not a good person at first glance.”
"Yes, yes, the general felt the same way at the time. In addition, I couldn't understand a word of what they said, but the pronunciation of the Gu family appeared several times, and the general had a rough guess in his mind. "
"To avoid alarming the enemy, the second day after they left, the general went over and took a look. Sure enough, the birth dates of Marshal Gu and the others were written on them, and there were also some inexplicable charms and red lines on them. The general Only then did I understand that they stole the bones of Marshal Gu and others for the purpose of forming a formation."
The more Gu Shaoyu listened, the more uneasy he became.
“What formation?”
“In the middle of the formation are the tablets of Emperor Renzhao and the tablets of Dayu’s national destiny.”
Dayu was the previous dynasty that was overthrown by the Daxing Dynasty, and Emperor Renzhao was the last emperor of Dayu. When these two things appeared underground in Qingshui Town, Gu Shaoyu had countless thoughts.
But the most direct thing is that someone is planning a rebellion.
Daxing has been in power for several decades, and it can be said that it is stable, but it cannot be said to be completely stable. After all, the northwest has only suspended the war, and the remnants of the former Dayu are still hiding around in who knows where.
When he thought of this, his face became increasingly ugly.
“Are there any other clues?”
“When the general came out, he left a mark, so it’s okay to find it again. But has the general decided to do it now?”
Luo Yuan's words are very direct. For them, it is not difficult to find this place, but the difficult thing is how to find out the person behind it.
There must be remnants of the previous dynasty, but there will also be many traitors in this dynasty.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, Gu Shaoyu has an intuition that he must be related to the people in the seventh room of the Gu family. Otherwise, in the land of Jinling City and in the ancestral hall of the Gu family, there would be people who are unnoticed. He didn't believe that he had stolen the bones of his grandfather and the others to use them in this Lao Shizi formation!
It's just that the seventh member of the Gu family is just a **** at best, and the real big shot is definitely still behind, so Gu Shaoyu naturally wants to catch a big fish.
So, after a moment of silence, he said to Luo Yuan.
“Let’s recover well first, I will take care of it myself.”
“General, the bones of the old marshal and the others...”
"Destroying the altar is easy, but the clues will be cut off. If my grandfather were still here, he would not allow such a person who brings disaster to the country and the people to remain, so I won't do anything for the time being. I will try to find those Nanyang people first." "Yes. , General.”
No one would feel good if their relatives and the most respected people were ruined like this, and the same was true for Gu Shaoyu. But if he kept the altar, he would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future, so Gu Shaoyu had to calm down. , remember to act impulsively.
After chatting with Luo Yuan here, he returned to Qiwu Courtyard.
It was getting dark now, and Du Jingyi had been waiting for him to have dinner for a while.
After seeing him walking in with a serious expression, Du Jingyi also stepped forward to pull him. If he didn't pull him, his palms would feel cold.
Ever since Du Jingyi had physical contact with him, he had never seen him like this, so he said with distress.
“General, what’s wrong? But it’s cold?”
Then he asked Yingtao to bring a bowl of **** soup. After drinking it warmly, Gu Shaoyu recovered a lot, and then told Du Jingyi what Luo Yuan said.
Du Jingyi was surprised, but also admired her husband very much.
If the matter does not fall on his own shoulders, he will not feel that he is too heavy to bear the blame. Even though he clearly knows that other people have evil intentions, he still insists on not taking back the bones of his beloved grandfather, uncles and brothers. It is indeed a heartache. .
Therefore, Du Jingyi didn't know how to comfort him to make him feel better. He could only stay by his side silently, not saying much, but giving him some warmth.
After a moment of relaxation, Gu Shaoyu calmed down.
Now that he has made a decision, he must stick to it no matter how difficult it is, and there are still many things to do. Gu Shaoyu doesn't know how many people are jointly weaving the big net behind it, but what he is sure of is that he will definitely do it with his own hands. Tear apart this big net to comfort my grandfather and their spirits in heaven.
"How prosperous the Su family's shipping business is, they must have contact with Nanyang people. The general can ask his uncle about it."
"No, as soon as Luo Yuan was recovered, I asked the Su family to investigate the affairs of the Nanyang people. With the prudence of Qitang uncle, he will definitely notice it. So, can I use my wife Yan Zhiqing's identity to secretly investigate? check?"
“It’s possible, but I haven’t had much dealings with Nanyang people in the past, so it might take a little more time.”
"It doesn't matter. Once the situation calms down, the other party will be more easily investigated."
Du Jingyi nodded, it was not difficult, and then found Li Zhu.
“Li Zhu, go find Mr. Leng tomorrow and tell him that there are goods from the south that will be transported to the north. Just ask him to prepare two carts of money.”
This is the code word between Du Jingyi and Mr. Leng. Once this is mentioned, Yan Zhiqing's power will be used, and Li Zhu is well aware of this.
It’s just that she didn’t quite understand why Yan Zhiqing was involved, but she never questioned the madam’s orders, so she nodded in agreement and walked out.
After she left, Du Jingyi explained to Gu Shaoyu.
"Mr. Leng is my father's confidant. He handles most of the Yan family's business secretly for me."
