After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 376 Touring Gold to Overthrow the Prime Minister

After returning to the capital, Gu Huaijing went straight to the palace and met with the emperor with the secret letter.

The emperor looked at the familiar mark, his face changed suddenly, and he said sternly: "Huaijing, I order you to investigate this case thoroughly. No matter who is involved, no matter who dares to use the name of the palace to smuggle gold and provoke war, Everyone must be punished severely!"

Gu Huaijing knelt down on one knee and solemnly accepted the order: "Wei Chen will go all out to investigate to the end. I also ask the emperor to give Wei Chen his full support."

The emperor waved his hand and signaled Gu Huaijing to stand up, his eyes flashing with the desire for the truth and the hope for the peace and prosperity of the country: "Huaijing, I believe in your ability and loyalty. If the truth of this matter can be found out, it will not only bring peace to the innocent Comforting the souls of the dead is an important guarantee for the stability of the country."

Gu Huaijing exited the imperial study, his heart full of responsibility and pressure, but more importantly, firm determination.

He looked at Teng Xi and Miss Xu beside him. The three people's eyes met together, silently conveying a common belief: no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, they would move forward bravely and uncover the truth hidden in the darkness.

But I didn't expect that Miss Xu would be killed as soon as she returned to the black market. The mysterious man sent a letter to Gu Huaijing, telling him to be extremely careful and not to go to the black market again in the future.

Gu Huaijing felt deeply guilty for having caused Miss Xu to suffer. He sneaked into the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night and quietly came to Tan Zhixu's courtyard.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Tan Zhixu was also very worried about Gu Huaijing.

She was thinking about finding a chance to meet Gu Huaijing tomorrow when she heard a rustling sound.

Tan Zhixu came to the yard and saw the haggard Gu Huaijing.

She frowned slightly, "Mr. Gu, why are you here?"

Tan Zhixu's voice sounded particularly soft late at night. She opened the door and looked at the haggard Gu Huaijing in front of her, her eyes full of concern and worry.

Gu Huaijing smiled tiredly and said with force, "I'm sorry to disturb you so late. There are some things I have to tell you. Miss Xu...she encountered misfortune."

Hearing this, Tan Zhixu frowned slightly, obviously shocked by the news, "How could this happen? Hasn't Miss Xu been assisting you in investigating gold matters?"

Gu Huaijing lowered his eyes, his heart full of guilt and anger, "Miss Xu was killed because she revealed important clues about the gold case to me. Now it seems that the power behind this is huge and the methods are ruthless."

He took out a crumpled letter from his arms and handed it to Tan Zhixu, "This is the letter from the mysterious man. He told me that someone was already targeting me. He asked me not to get involved in the black market again, and reminded me I have to be extremely careful.”

Tan Zhixu took the letter and read it quickly. Her face became increasingly serious, "The water behind this is too deep. Mr. Gu, you must be careful."

Gu Huaijing clenched his fists and said resolutely: "I will, I can't let Miss Xu's sacrifice be in vain. I must find out the truth, avenge her, and completely eradicate this force that is causing trouble in the world."

Tan Zhixu looked at his determined eyes. Although he was worried, he also understood his determination, "Master Gu, could the recent turmoil in the Southern Dynasty be related to the throne of the Southern Dynasty?"

Hearing Tan Zhixu's words, Gu Huaijing seemed to have some switches turned on, and his eyes instantly lit up.

"Thank you Xu Xu." Gu Huaijing smiled at Tan Zhixu and turned around to leave.

Watching Gu Huaijing leave, Tan Zhixu couldn't help but sigh. She had nothing to ask for but hoped that Gu Huaijing could get through this time smoothly.

In fact, while Gu Huaijing was searching for the Black Swamp, Tan Zhixu recalled his previous life carefully. It seemed that in order to inherit the throne, the prince of the Southern Dynasty colluded with the officials in the capital to tie up the gold shipped to the border. But Encountered the black and eat the black.

Following Tan Zhixu's clues, Gu Huaijing quickly found out the dispute between the princes of the Southern Dynasty, and the person in the court who had contact with the Southern Dynasty was the Prime Minister. In the early morning of the next day, Gu Huaijing came to the vicinity of the Prime Minister's Mansion early and secretly observed every move of the Prime Minister.

He discovered that Mr. Xiangguo had been in frequent contact with several people who looked like businessmen in recent days. The accessories on those people were very similar to the marks seized in the previous gold smuggling case.

Gu Huaijing's heart trembled, and he became even more convinced that there were inextricably linked things.

A few days later, Gu Huaijing sneaked into the Prime Minister's mansion at night and found a secret letter in the study.

The letter detailed the collusion between the Prime Minister and the Southern Dynasty royal family, as well as their plan to subvert the imperial court by smuggling gold to raise military pay.

In addition, the letter also mentioned the location where the gold was hidden - in a hidden cave on the outskirts of Beijing.

Gu Huaijing carefully put the letter away, thinking about his next move.

He knew that this was not the best time to expose Xiang Guo's crimes. Only by finding gold first could he completely defeat this huge underground force.

He immediately returned to the palace and reported the newly discovered situation to the emperor.

After hearing this, the emperor looked horrified and determined, and ordered the mobilization of troops and horses, preparing to cooperate with Gu Huaijing to go to the hiding place of the gold.

At the same time, Gu Huaijing found Tan Zhixu again and informed her of this important development.

After hearing this, Tan Zhixu looked at him nervously and worriedly, held his hand tightly, and warned: "Master Gu, you must be extremely careful this time. Don't take risks alone."

Gu Huaijing took a deep look at Tan Zhixu, his eyes full of gratitude and determination, "Xu Xu, I understand. This time, not only for Miss Xu, but also for the common people in the world, I will act cautiously and vow to make the truth public. .”

As night fell, Gu Huaijing led an elite force and quietly marched towards the cave on the outskirts of Beijing.

At this moment, the lights in the Prime Minister's Mansion were still bright, as if they were not aware of the coming storm.

"Be careful." Tan Zhixu stood at the top of the city, looking at the team disappearing into the night, praying silently.

Late at night, the elite soldiers led by Gu Huaijing quietly surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, like a beast that was ready to attack, ready to pounce on its prey at any time.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was peaceful, but little did he know that a thunderstorm was about to sweep through.

Gu Huaijing personally led the team and accurately broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight to the study. As expected, he found a lot of evidence of collusion with the Southern Dynasty royal family.

The Prime Minister tried to destroy more evidence in a panic, but it was too late.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Mr. Xiangguo knew that the end was over, so he chose to hang himself in despair, leaving behind a mess and stunned people.

In the secret tunnel of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Huaijing and his party found the missing batch of gold, and the amount was shocking. The gold was quickly escorted back to the palace, and under the emperor's order, he was personally escorted to the border by Gu Huaijing to stabilize the morale of the army and quell the war.

After the storm, the capital finally returned to some calm.
