Powerful

Chapter 19

Gu Yan's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but stare at the man on horseback, comparing the past memory with the reality in front of him.

Jingzhao's circle of officials is so big, whether they are powerful officials or nobles, they always meet each other, even women in the inner house will meet officials in the court at various banquets.When Gu Yan was with Qin Ji, he had seen this man a few times.

Of course, in the last two years, Gu Yan had a lot of contact with him. It can even be said that Gu Yan is very familiar with him.

Now, he is much younger than his impression, but his temperament, voice and memory are not much different, it is really him!

Shen Du, the adopted son of the emperor's teacher Shen Su, is known by his characters, and he has been known by his characters since he was crowned.After 18 years of Chongde, among the sixteen guards in the nine mansions of Dading, which one doesn't know Shen Jizhi?
Before he was established, he was in charge of the entire Shangshu Province and became the youngest Shangshuling in Dading. He was in charge of the six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers, and commanded [-] Huben troops to support the new emperor Taicheng Emperor Deng Shang Dabao is the only emperor teacher recognized by Emperor Taicheng.Although he is young, court officials respectfully call him "Old Shen", how could such a person appear here?

Also, he blatantly led the Huben army to appear, did he intend to let the Beijing officials know his relationship with Huben?Also, and... what about kind words?Are you in Jingzhao now?

Gu Yan's gaze was too startled, too tight, and even inexplicably familiar, it was hard for people to ignore it.Shen Du on the horseback naturally noticed the gaze. He looked towards the bushes, only to see a girl who hastily lowered her head.

Just now, what was she staring at herself for?Seems like you know yourself?
Seeing that the girl had lowered her head, coupled with the smell of blood rushing into her nostrils, it reminded Shen Du that it was still the killing field in the col, and the clue he had finally followed was broken at Kongcui Mountain.

No matter what Fu Ming said, he could be classified as a Beijing official. Although he was only a military attache stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, he was very familiar with the officials in the court.The person in front of him, he recognized, was Shen Du from Zhongshushe, the adopted son of the emperor's teacher Shen Su.

Zhongshusheren is an official position on the fifth rank, and can directly contact the emperor. He has always been a stepping stone to the position of Taifu. Even in Jingzhao, where there are as many high-ranking officials as crucian carp, this still makes the big families covet. For the official position, every time during the exam, there will be families fighting for it.

Few officials thought that after this year's exams, this official position would be taken seriously.Shen Du was too young for this position, and it caused many court officials to speculate that he got this position because of Shen Su's relationship.

The court official couldn't help cursing him secretly: "In terms of cleverness, you are a sycophant!"

There are also officials from Yushitai who wrote several memorials to Emperor Chongde for this, and what they said was nothing more than "no one can be an official unless they are majestic and highly qualified", "those who occupy high positions know people and things, and hope to be high and respectful". Emperor Chongde read it Put it aside.Afterwards, Emperor Chongde summoned his master Shen Su into the palace to recount the past, and rewarded Shen's family with many rewards.

It can be seen that Shen Su and Shen Du have received great grace from heaven, and their voices have gradually disappeared since the beginning of the dynasty.

Of course Fu Ming has heard of these rumors, but because the Fu family is in charge of the [-] soldiers and horses guarding the western border, he has also heard another rumor, that is, Shen Du is secretly serving in the Huben Army, relying on his own talents, not all Shen Du. Su relationship.

Now listening to what Shen Du said to Chen Duwei, he knew that another rumor was true. This Shen Du was obviously Chen Duwei's boss.

However, Fu Ming sensibly didn't ask any further questions, and only said: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your help. The lieutenant general is very grateful! Huh..."

He repeated what he said just now, and wanted to arch his hands, but the injury on his right shoulder was affected, and he couldn't help but pass out.

That man in black struck too hard!
Shen Du had already dismounted, and seeing Fu Ming like this, he said, "Vice General Fu is injured, so there is no need to be polite. Vice General Fu will take care of the wound first, my officer... I still have questions and I would like to ask Vice General Fu."

Seeing Fu Ming's gaze on Chen Wei, Shen Du knew that Fu Ming had confirmed his relationship with Huben Jun.In the Dading officialdom, there are many well-informed people, especially those in the army. The scouts placed in the guards and battalions are like weeds in the grass, and they cannot be pulled out cleanly.

He didn't mind at all. Originally, his appointment in the Huben Army would be announced in the court soon. Fu Ming knew this in advance, so it didn't matter.

However, he really wanted to know why these men in black attacked the Gu family?Why is Fu Ming lurking here again?According to military regulations, the Third Battalion of Gyeonggi Guards should patrol the west of Jingzhao City. What did he bring his soldiers to Kongcui Mountain in the southeast?
Fu Ming had all kinds of doubts in his heart, and Shen Du also had a thousand weights in his heart.

Fu Ming nodded, summoned the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Guards, and simply bandaged the wound on his right shoulder. Then, as if remembering something, he said to Shen Du apologetically, "My lord Shen, my uncle's family is still in the mountain depression, waiting to settle down." Okay them, let’s talk about it with Mr. Shen..."

Before Fu Ming finished speaking, he saw Gu Chong'an and Mrs. Fu stumbling towards him.Both Gu Chong'an and Fu's hair were quite messy. Fortunately, they were protected by soldiers from the Gyeonggi Guards, so they were not injured.

Seeing Gu Chong'an and Fu Shi, Gu Yan didn't care about anything at the moment, and hurriedly ran out of the bushes.As soon as she saw Fu Shi, her tears fell.

"Mother...Mother..." Gu Yan approached Mrs. Fu, shaking uncontrollably.Now that the dust has settled in this mountain depression, and the people in black are all dead, Gu Yan knows how to be afraid.Fortunately, fortunately, neither of her parents was injured, otherwise, she would not be able to be herself.

She never expected that it was Qin Ji's dead soldier who ambushed and killed them!

She looked at the dead man in black on the ground, and the hatred and fury in her eyes flashed again.

"Okay, it's okay, A Bi, it's okay." Fu Shi's voice trembled a little, and her fear and worry would only be more than Gu Yan's, no less.

After meeting the man in black, Fu followed Gu Chong'an and kept running for his life, but he didn't want to run away with his daughter.While avoiding the man in black, she was worried about Gu Yan's safety. It was not until now that Gu Yan was safe and sound that Fu's heart relaxed.

Fu, a woman in the inner house, has never experienced such a murderous scene. After the huge panic, she suddenly relaxed. She couldn't bear such a huge shock. She didn't say a word to Gu Yan, she just His feet went limp and he passed out.

"Mother, mother..." Gu Yan saw Fu's fainting, and shouted impatiently.

Gu Chong'an also had a worried look on his face, and he called out nervously: "Jin Niang, Jin Niang, don't scare me..."

Gu Chong'an is the eldest son of the Gu family, and he was born with a nursing home. The most intense fight he has ever seen was just arguing with Jingzhao when he was young and then fighting again. Where has he seen such a killing scene?
When those men in black committed suicide, Gu Chong'an could see clearly, the spurting blood and the fallen corpse strongly impacted his sight and heart!
This is blood, this is killing, and, first of all, it is aimed at oneself!Gu Chong'an still remembered that when those men in black rushed up, the murderous aura that rushed to their faces almost reached the ends of their hair.

Those men in black were targeting themselves. If the Gyeonggi Guards and Huben Army hadn't arrived in time, then the ones bleeding to death on the ground at this moment should be themselves, their wives and daughters.Who, who wants to kill himself?
Gu Chong'an shook Fu's hands, suppressed the fear in his eyes, and then said in a raised voice, "Ming'er, send someone to send your aunt and A Bi back to the inner city first! Let’s talk about things here later!”

His voice was hoarse, but there was no pause in his words, and what he explained was clear.

Shen Du, who was standing quietly at the side, was originally thinking about the hatred that flashed in Gu Yan's eyes, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but take an extra look at Gu Chong'an.Fu Ming's uncle should be the eldest son of Gu Zhan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Gu Chong'an, who is currently serving as the secretary, is honest and honest, and he is talented.

Looking at it now, being able to be calm in times of danger, and being able to act in a hurry, can be rated as the best, not as bad as the outside world said.

Just as he was thinking, Shen Du heard Gu Chong'an's question: "Master Shen, if you don't mind, can you move to Gu's family? This matter cannot be explained clearly in Shan'ao."

Shen Du nodded with a smile, raised his hands together as a salute, and said, "Master Gu invites me, but this official is not respectful!"

Among all the people present, Shen Du has the highest official position, and he said "I am an official", of course it will not make people feel arrogant.

Just like that, the terrified Gu family hurried back to the Gu family under the escort of Fu Ming and Shen Du.
