Powerful

Chapter 27
Taipingqian Street is located at the left end of Anding Road on the Jingzhao Central Axis. It is named because there is a Taiping Gate not far away.

Passing through the Taiping Gate means entering the scope of the imperial city—it’s just outside the imperial city. The palace city of the Dading Dynasty is still far away from the Taiping Gate.

Even so, the area around Taipingqian Street is the closest to the imperial city, with a unique location, and most of Jingzhao's nobles live here.

In the early years of Taizu, when the court officials passed through Taipingqian Street, they all had to "get off the sedan chair for civil officials and dismount the horse for military officials". From this, we can imagine the glory of Taipingqian Street in the past.

With several generations of emperors depriving and purging the nobles, the prosperity of Taipingqian Street is not as good as before, and the dismounting monument at the street entrance is mottled and hard to recognize.

But since the reign of Chongde, Taiping Front Street has flourished again.There is no one else, because the government of the three major kingdoms who live here once again holds real power, breaking the early practice of nobles not holding power.

The three major mansions are An Guo Mansion, Zhen Guo Mansion and Cheng Guo Mansion. Among them, Cheng Guo Mansion is the most powerful Qin family.

Cheng Guogong Qinyi not only enjoys the wealth of the world, but also controls the government. Many officials from the six departments of Shangshu Province have gone through Qinyi's career and have a good official career. Even Fang Jixin, the current Shangshuling, is an in-law of Chengguogong.

However, these are not the things that attract the court officials' attention the most. What attracts the court officials the most now is the relationship between Qin Ji, the eldest son of Duke Cheng's mansion, and the third prince.

Qin Ji was not only the third prince's companion, but also had a life-and-death friendship with the third prince. I heard that Qin Ji also served as the chief guard of the third prince's mansion.

All the officials in the court knew that the third prince was the most likely candidate to become the next emperor, not one of them!

All court officials are thinking, it seems that the prestige of Duke Cheng's Mansion will continue for decades, so the bluestone in front of Duke Cheng's Mansion has been trampled clean and shiny by court officials.

The courtyard in the southeast of Duke Cheng's mansion is where the eldest son Qin Ji lives and where Qin Ji usually handles affairs.

At this moment, Qin Ji was in a good mood, because he accompanied the third prince on his tour of Shandong and came back with meritorious service. He was praised by Emperor Chongde as "a man of great literary and military prowess, a pillar of talent" in the early court.

The emperor Jinkou, this is a higher evaluation than becoming an official.

"Those people died as soon as they died. Qingzhou Prison's hands and ends have been cleaned up long ago, and the Criminal Department will definitely not find anything. You have all received thirty sticks, and this matter is over. After all, what happened to Yin Hong's injury? How is it? What is the situation of the Gu family now?"

Holding the teacup, Qin Ji sounded very soothing, but Li Chu and Feng Yu, who were kneeling in front of him, were sweating coldly on their foreheads.

They knew that the noble young man who looked like jade in front of them was actually killing Shura with vicious methods. Although he was only 20 years old, the blood and names on his hands were no less than those of any soldier on the battlefield.

Especially for this noble son who was born in a noble family, he was able to take so many lives while being pampered, which is so weird that it makes people feel frightened.

However, accompanied by fear, is the overwhelming wealth that can never be achieved in an ordinary life, so Li Chu and Feng Yu, who were born in the family of petty officials, follow Qin Ji wholeheartedly.

Because they were ruthless and flexible, they gradually became Qin Ji's right-hand man.Qin Ji asked them to do many things that could not be put on the table.

About a month and a half ago, they received Qin Ji's order to have an accident with the granddaughter of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Gu Zhan, and to ambush Gu Zhan's eldest son in Xishan.

With such a strange order, and so simple and easy, Li Chu and Feng Yu didn't think much about it, just like what they used to do in the past, they set up a small game.

But what happened next was beyond their expectations.That night, they waited in Xishan with the killer. They didn't see anyone from the Gu family until the sky was bright.

What happened later was even more unexpected to them.Yin Hong led those desperadoes who killed without batting an eyelid, and almost all of them collapsed in Kongcui Mountain, which also attracted the attention of the court.

Even if things in Qingzhou Prison were done well and the Ministry of Criminal Justice couldn't find anything, for the Chengguo Mansion, those people who were lost in Kongcui Mountain were a real loss.

Originally, Yin Hong wanted to lead those people to practice, let them taste the taste of hacking and killing court officials, and strengthen their courage, but he didn't want to become like this.

In the past few days, they have been busy cleaning up the hands and tails of Kong Cuishan, and they must not let the court think of Cheng Guogong's mansion, they are very busy.

"There are a lot of people around Gu Chong'an now, many of them are masters invited by Gu Zhan, and it's hard to do it all at once. Gu Chongting only said to be cautious. As for the girl that the master asked to observe, it seems that she has begun to learn how to be a housekeeper..."

Li Chu told the situation of the Gu family one by one, why the master is so interested in the back house of the Gu family.If the master wanted to get married, why did he kill Gu Chong'an?If the master wasn't interested in that girl, why did he spare her life and observe her?

Even if Li Chu and Feng Yu had been by Qin Ji's side for a long time, they still couldn't guess what Qin Ji was thinking about this matter.

"Gu Chong'an, let's wait for a while. Every June, the Ministry of Secretaryship will go out to collect folk songs. Wait until then, it's very simple. Gu Zhan, an old man, has some skills to be in charge of the official department."

Qin Ji narrowed his eyes, with a smile on his lips.The Gu family was the family he had been looking for for a long time, such a delicate girl's family, who was so soft to the point of stupidity, was the best to use; more importantly, behind her was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Xijiang Wei.

This time, he is going to use this girl to get rid of Xijiang Wei, the third prince's eye-stab, and also get rid of Gu Zhan, an old man who is ignorant of current affairs!
The third prince had already secretly sent someone to contact Gu Zhan, but Gu Zhan didn't try to win him over for the third prince.

Qin Ji asked about the situation of the Gu family again, and was relieved to know that the Gu family was still similar to what he knew.He planned that after the flower viewing feast, he would really get in touch with the Gu family.

Some things, even if you don't want to, you still have to do it.Qin Ji thought of those delicate girls' homes, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it very well, and the soldiers and subordinates who had followed him for many years did not notice it.

"By the way, the emperor has attached great importance to Shen Du recently, and told the people in the mansion not to mess with this person for the time being. Especially Yin Hong, absolutely must not meet Shen Du directly!" After explaining the Gu family's affairs, Qin Ji thought of the court. The direction of the wind in the middle, so ordered.

Thinking of Shen Du who seemed to appear out of nowhere, Qin Ji's smile turned into a sneer.A man with no father, no mother, no family, and no bottom line, just because he is the adopted son of the emperor's teacher Shen Su, he got a high position and aroused the envy of the court officials.

Let's see how long he can be prosperous, sooner or later, Cheng Guogong's mansion and the third prince will tear him apart!
Originally, Qin Ji was neither disgusted nor close to people like Shen Du, but because of the Kongcui Mountain incident, Shen Du seemed to have his eye on those desperadoes and the Qingzhou Prison. To be precise, Shen Du seemed to have his eye on Beijing Zhao's honor.

Shen Du seemed to know that Yin Hong was a dead man, and Qin Ji was afraid that he would find out something, and it would be bad if it affected Cheng Guogong's mansion and the third prince.

A few days earlier, Qin Ji had suggested to the third prince that it would be better to suppress Shen Du as soon as possible, but seeing that this person was highly valued by the emperor, the third prince wanted to win him over.

The third prince's decision made Qin Ji feel annoyed. Thinking of Shen Chaoren's demeanor, Qin Ji felt even more jealous and jealous.
