Chapter 391 Ling Changshi’s Family
Xie Changshi was about to persuade him when he heard Gu Yuzhi chuckle and say, "I've eaten such unpalatable rice cakes and hot soup and rice. Is there anything I can't overcome?"

He scratched his head and said, "I think it tastes pretty good."

Gu Yuzhi's tone was cheerful, and soon the two of them arrived at the backyard of the Yamen. Guard Zhang Jiang Kangming and others were standing outside the restaurant door. The two of them were talking solemnly when they saw Gu Yuzhi and Xie Changshi rushing to greet them.

"Your Highness, Xie Changshi."

Gu Yuzhi waved his hand and said, "Sit down quickly."

When the guards saw that everyone had arrived, they hurriedly put all the food in.

There were several simple round wooden tables placed in the backyard. There were not that many chairs. These elite soldiers stood in a circle around the table, looking like they were gobbling up their food.

After several people were well fed, Guard Zhang continued: "Your Highness, Xie Changshi, Gu Yufan's two aides and their families have all been arrested and brought to justice. During the search, they were also found in these two houses. Lots of swag.”

Gu Yuzhi blinked and turned to look at Xie Changshi, only to see an expected expression on Xie Changshi's face.

Xie Changshi slowly put down the tea cup he was rinsing with: "Not only the residences of these two aides, but also Gu Yufan's other aides, especially the Ling residence headed by Ling Changshi, as well as the residences of Gu Yufan's several concubines, and the prefect. , Guards and others’ houses need to be thoroughly investigated.”

Having said this, Xie Changshi looked at Gu Yuzhi and sighed softly: "Your Highness, I only briefly glanced at the account books and other things that were searched from Gu Yufan's secret room, but the names of the people I mentioned and the things they embezzled are all It’s on Gu Yufan’s account book.”

These aides are Gu Yufan's confidants. Here in Jiangnan, there are many people who fawn over them.

These people have been helping the tyrants for so many years, so they must not be conscientious people. In addition, their masters are such people. If someone offers a gift, they will naturally accept it.

As soon as Xie Changshi finished speaking, Jiang Kangming also sighed leisurely, frowning, and his usually dull expression also showed a bit of sadness: "Our people have already controlled these families that Xie Changshi mentioned."

These people seemed to know that King Wen's men had quietly entered Jiangzhou, so they did not organize the servants to resist at all.

Jiang Kangming continued: "Especially the people in Ling Changshi's family were extremely cooperative. Not only did they take the initiative to explain the location of the secret room, but they also handed over all the evidence that Ling Changshi had retained over the years."

Gu Yuzhi blinked and turned to look at Xie Changshi: "Ling Changshi should be the person Gu Yufan trusts the most. He must have the most evidence against Gu Yufan."

He puffed up his face: "But why?"

Although Prince Qi had said that Ling Changshi's death might be related to Gu Yufan, didn't the Ling family believe the words of Gu Yufan's aides, believe that Ling Changshi's death was related to Prince Qi, and plan a murder?

How come in the blink of an eye, the Ling family had their hands on Gu Yufan's entire game?
Xie Changshi stroked his beard: "I think someone should have revealed the news to the Ling family in private. Ling Changshi was kicked to death by Gu Yufan."

Gu Yuzhi suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief: "Kicked to death?"

As he spoke, he shook his leg: "Gu Yufan is not a person with strong martial arts skills like Guard Qi or Mr. Huo. Can he kick someone to death?"

His face turned pale suddenly. Could it be that Gu Yufan kicked him a lot?
If this is really the case, isn't that what Teacher Shu said, abuse?

Gu Yuzhi clenched his little hands tightly, his eyes filled with hatred: "Ling Changshi is his confidant no matter what, how could he do this!"

Seeing his reaction, Xie Changshi guessed what he might have thought of, and nodded solemnly: "I guess the Ling family also has this suspicion." In addition, the emperor's decree is on the way, and His Highness has completely taken over Jiangzhou, so the Ling family will not hesitate. It's not surprising that he hesitated to betray Gu Yufan.

Xie Changshi stroked his beard and frowned: "But Your Highness, as far as I know, Ling Changshi's biological sister went on the expedition with Gu Yufan."

Ling Changshi's biological sister?

Gu Yuzhi whispered: "Is she also a military general? Is she good at fighting?"

When Gu Yu talked about women practicing martial arts, he couldn't help but think of Guard Qi.

Without waiting for Xie Changshi and others to reply, Gu Yuzhi muttered: "Qi Weiwei was still thinking about marrying a girl who knew martial arts. When the Jiangnan incident happens this time, I will find out with Prince Qi first. If they My family also agrees, so I will mention it to the emperor."

Shopkeeper Wen said that Mobei was barren, and everyone felt that he was not so favored. It was estimated that no one in the capital would want to marry the girl to Prince Qi.

However, if the imperial brother spoke, things would be much easier.

Gu Yuzhi was thinking happily about getting a wife for Guard Qi when he returned, but he didn't notice the change in Xie Changshi's eyes beside him.

Guard Qi is so outspoken that he tells His Highness everything!

Why marry a daughter-in-law who knows martial arts? You won't be afraid of being beaten when you get her back!
Xie Changshi murmured in his heart when he heard Guard Zhang say: "Your Highness, since you have told the emperor, can you also search for me?"

He scratched his head, with a hint of stupidity on his usually shrewd face: "My background is not as good as that of Guard Qi, so let the emperor find anyone for me. The most important thing is someone who is willing to follow me in Mobei."

In fact, after going to Mobei, Zhang Weiwei and the others did not feel that Mobei was so barren.

In addition, Xinliang is the fiefdom of His Highness. Although Xinliang City has not been completely built yet, they have been there and can see that Xinliang City is not bad.

After His Highness moves the headquarters of Wen's Trading Company to Xinliang City and commerce and agriculture develop, Xinliang will definitely become the center of Mobei in the future.

But they knew it, but the girls who were about to get married didn't know that, so Guard Zhang emphasized that the most important thing was that he wanted to be in Mobei.

Xie Changshi was originally unhappy because the Qi Guards had now become Qi Pioneers and had been staying in the Mobei Army all year round to avoid trouble. The next moment, the guards hit the muzzle of the gun.

He glared fiercely: "What is the focus now? Is it about discussing your marriage?"

The most important thing is that we are discussing it with His Highness, an eight-year-old child!
I'm so ashamed!
Xie Changshi took a deep breath, and when he turned to look at Gu Yuzhi, the anger in his eyes calmed down: "Ling Changshi's biological sister is not a military commander, but the concubine of Gu Yufan's harem."

Gu Yuzhi looked puzzled: "Since she is a concubine and not a military commander, why do you need to take her with you when you go on an expedition?"

It's not that he discriminates against women, but that he thinks Gu Yufan's behavior is simply inexplicable!

Xie Changshi lowered his eyes for a moment: "I think maybe she is Ling Changshi's sister, and she asked for a chance!"
