Warm spring enters Hou's door

Chapter 92 You Are Scared

It was night, and they were indeed attacked by several waves on the way back.

However, Du Ren had already made preparations, and with the assistance of people from Dali Temple, none of the four of them were injured, but they caught a few more assassins.

When they returned to the Hou Mansion, Gu Caiwei quickly took out a few small sachets and gave them to the escorts. "The time is too short, and I don't have anything good to give you here. I just have some cakes I made before, so I'll fill you up when you're hungry!"

After the guards thanked them, they took all the sachets.

Then the four of them happily went into the Marquis' Mansion.

By this time it was already midnight.Originally, they should have gone to bed at this time, but because of this incident, everyone was very nervous, and they delayed until now to relax a little.

But Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan were not so sleepy anymore.Du Yi held on to Gu Tianyuan desperately: "What kind of medicine did you all give to Wu? I was standing next to you, and I didn't see anything!"

"Of course only us insiders can see this kind of trick clearly. If you outsiders see it, how can we mess around in the future?" Gu Tianyuan declared triumphantly.

Du Yi suddenly became more curious, and pulled him to let him talk.On the one hand, he still yelled sweetly: "Little uncle, just tell me! Little uncle..."

Gu Tianyuan felt uncomfortable being called out.

"You're just like your father, you are courteous for nothing, rape or steal!" He rubbed his arms quickly, then turned around, "Okay, let's go back and rest quickly! My brother-in-law has another game tomorrow Tough battles have to be fought. I will tell you about what my sister and I did when I have time."

"No! Little uncle, tell me now, I want to know now!" Gu Tianyuan shouted quickly, grabbing his sleeve with his small hands.

The two of them walked away like this.

After the two little guys walked away, Gu Caiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She patted her chest quickly: "I was really scared to death today! But, how did you manage to let Wu Zuo test his wound as suicide?"

"I have studied various methods of suicide before." Du Juanqing replied, "At one time, I didn't want to live anymore, but I didn't want to die alone, so I just thought about dragging some people I hate down to cover my back. But, how can I convince others that they did it to me? I devoted myself to research for three months, and then..."

"And then you didn't do anything!" Gu Caiwei was puzzled.

Embarrassment appeared on Du Juanqing's face again. "Then, I became obsessed with all kinds of murder weapons. I was so focused on studying the structure, lethality and difficulty of making these things every day that I forgot about suicide."

Gu Caiwei immediately covered her stomach and laughed. "To put it bluntly, it means that you don't want to die at all!"

"Indeed. And if I hadn't persisted in surviving, how could I have met you?" Du Juan smiled lightly, and he took her hand, "Thanks to you and Jiulang for helping me today."

"Isn't that what it should be? We are a family." Gu Caiwei shook her head quickly, "But... are you sure that the wound you created can be hidden from everyone?"

"Of course not." Du Juanqing shook his head without hesitation, "The cut of the knife is so thick and shallow that even if you take a quick glance, you might mistake it for suicide. But as long as you examine carefully, you can find the doorway inside. No matter the angle or strength, in fact There are some deviations from the real suicide. But, do you think the samurai family will have the patience to let Wu make a good examination? Like today. And when tomorrow, I think few people are interested in examining the wounds on the corpse .Especially those who sit in high positions, the death of one person is nothing to them, but an iron mine is related to whether the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be stronger. They have their own calculations in their hearts."

"That's true." Gu Caiwei sighed lowly, "It's really just right for you to bring out the iron ore at this time. No matter how much the Wu family hates you, as long as Mr. Di Ge and the others keep you and Her Majesty expresses something, they will I dare not move you."

That's why he dared to kill Wu Chengwei directly!
However, Wu Chengwei should indeed be killed!

He is really used to being arrogant, it's okay to bully men and women on weekdays, but now he has developed to the point where he has a crush on others, no matter who they are, whether they are willing or not, he will kill them!Of course, this is also inseparable from Her Majesty's bottomless indulgence of the Wu family.However, the foundation of the martial arts family is shallow, and the family education is not strict. With such indulgence, look at the virtues they are teaching the juniors now!
It's just... Thinking of the fact that Du Juanqing was attracted by Wu Chengwei, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

"I told you to pretend to be so cold and abstinent for me all day long. It's alright now, have you been watched by someone?" She poked him on the forehead angrily.

Du Juanqing's face darkened instantly. "It seems that I still have a bad impression on others. I'd better grow my beard!"

"It's not about whether you have a beard or not, but about your overall temperament, okay?" Gu Caiwei pointed out the problem unceremoniously, "You look fair and clean, but your body looks slender and slim. It's not much different from the little lady. But it has such a face, innocent and harmless like a little white rabbit, but the eyes are full of stubbornness and determination. The contrast is strong and the contrast is great. It's okay if people have no distracting thoughts , but if you meet those men and women full of lust, they will have the urge to throw you down. Not to mention that there are countless such men and women in Chang'an City today."

This includes her, of course.

After Du Juan heard this, he immediately frowned tightly. "So, I still need to strengthen my body and get rid of the femininity in my body, so that people won't have a reason to dream about things."

"No, I think you might as well improve yourself and make yourself a celebrity in front of Her Majesty the Empress. As long as Her Majesty trusts you and values ​​you, other people will naturally dare not do anything to you. These days, no matter how strong you are, Physique is not comparable to supreme power." Gu Caiwei said slowly.

Hey, if grandpa was still alive, seeing such a scene would definitely make him angry.

Du Juanqing frowned again. "Then do both!"

"That's fine. Anyway, as long as you can hold on." Gu Caiwei helplessly spread her hands.

Du Junqing clenched his teeth. "I can hold on."

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a big yawn.

Gu Caiwei chuckled, and quickly took his hand. "It's very late, let's not talk about anything else, and go to sleep! In any case, let's pass tomorrow's level first."

Du Juan nodded, and immediately hugged her tightly, the two of them fell asleep next to each other.

The Marquis of Changning's mansion here quickly fell into silence, but the Wu Chengsi's mansion over there was still brightly lit.

Wu Chengsi looked coldly at his nephew who was kneeling in front of him, his face was gloomy and cold, very ugly.

"What did you say you want me to do? Say it again!"

"Uncle, nephew, please make the decision for my younger brother!" Wu Chengyu yelled quickly, "My younger brother died so badly, he was killed by Du Juanqing! Mine, life and death refused to plead guilty. Those people in Dali Temple also indulged him so much because of this iron mine, and let him escape! My nephew is incompetent, so now I can only come to ask uncle to give you an order in person. The third division will retry the case and give my younger brother justice!"

"Do you want justice for your younger brother, or do you just want Du to be buried with him?" Wu Chengsi asked coldly.

Wu Chengyu was startled, and then gritted his teeth: "Of course, the best outcome is that their family will be buried with my younger brother! Why did my younger brother die so badly, but they have nothing to do, and now they are still happy as a family?" Huh, went home?"

"You should shut up about this matter in the future!" Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Wu Chengsi said something coldly.

Wu Chengyu quickly raised his head. "Uncle, are you also afraid of old Di Ge's power?"

Wu Chengsi's eyes turned cold. "Don't use the aggressive method on me here, I don't accept this method."

Wu Chengyu quickly lowered his head, and then heard Wu Chengsi say again: "Since your younger brother is already dead, and people cannot be resurrected after death, so what if you kill Changninghou's family? But since you know, now he holds the There is an iron mine, the iron in that iron mine is of excellent quality, and several precious knives that can cut iron like mud have been forged. You never thought that if this iron mine is used by me, it will be just for me to fight for the crown prince. Has the position added a big boost?"

"Uncle, you are right, but since this is the case, shouldn't we kill Du Juan? If he is not dead, how could the iron ore fall into your hands?" Wu Chengyu tried every means to turn the topic to Du Juanqing's death go up.

But Wu Chengsi shook his head. "We can't do this yet. Since he discovered the iron ore, he must know everything about it the best. Therefore, the most urgent thing is to establish a good relationship with him first. When we find out all the news about the iron ore, the inside Put our manpower in important positions, and then plan to get rid of him before it's too late."

Hearing his uncle's methodical plan, Wu Chengyu's heart went cold again.

"Then according to your uncle, we still want to keep him alive now?"

"Not only do we have to stay, but we also have to stay well. In the future, our Wu family must also keep in touch with the Marquis of Changning." Wu Chengsi stroked his beautiful beard and said with a smile.

The last glimmer of hope was shattered, Wu Chengyu's shoulders slumped, and his eyes turned gray.

"Yes, my nephew understands." He replied weakly, then turned around and walked out of the study slowly.

But before he took a few steps, he couldn't help scratching the back of his hand: "Why is it so itchy?"

While scratching, he also saw a few small white flakes being scratched off, he didn't take it seriously, he was still thinking about Du Junqing's performance in Peony Tower and Dali Temple today, and Wu Chengsi's performance just now. What I said... His shoulders suddenly became more slumped.

"Brother, your death is really not worth it!" He sighed in a low voice, and his voice was quickly blown away by the night wind, disappearing invisible.

After he left, Wu Chengsi smiled all over his face, triumphantly took the map of Zhou on the table, carefully found the location of Yongxing County, and immediately nodded in satisfaction: "Yongxing County, here. It looks like a It's an inconspicuous little place, but who would have thought that there is such a big iron mine hidden in this place? Now that I have you, my crown prince is even more secure!"

Speaking of joy, he laughed out loud.

Seeing this, the servants and others around him also laughed.

After just a few laughs, Wu Chengsi suddenly felt itchy on his neck.After grabbing a few in a hurry, he saw a few flakes of skin on his fingertips.

His face suddenly changed, and he hastily yelled in low voices: "Quickly, go to the imperial doctor! My neck is itchy, and the skin is peeling off!"

The little servant didn't dare to delay, so he ran to the imperial physician's house overnight, arrested the sleeping imperial physician, and dragged him over to show Wu Chengsi his neck.

The old imperial doctor was old and frail, so he had to stay at home today with great difficulty, but was dragged here.But he didn't dare to complain, and he had to show Wu Chengsi a serious look at his neck: "My lord, your neck is fine, it must have been accidentally bitten by an insect, just apply some medicine and you'll be fine. It’s already summer, and the insects and ants are flourishing, so please don’t go to places where the vegetation is too lush.”

After applying the cool ointment, the itchy area on his neck was healed, and Wu Chengsi heaved a sigh of relief. "Understood, you step back!"

The old doctor quickly left with the medicine box.

After such a toss, at this time the sky outside became a hazy white.

But Wu Chengsi was in a good mood, he stood up quickly, humming a little song, and slowly returned to the room, and rolled around with his arms around the concubine he had just taken in, before finally falling asleep in peace.

As soon as Du Juan fell asleep at midnight, he quickly got up, packed up and went to the guard as usual.

However, as soon as he arrived at the guard, he found that his colleagues looked at him very differently.It's just that he didn't take it seriously, and just continued to do his own thing as always.Now that he has just come here, he still has a lot of files to read, and his main purpose today is still this one.

But just after reading the very file, someone from the palace came.

"Her Majesty's oral order, Xuan Chang Ninghou and You Xiaowei General Du Juanqing enter the palace to have an audience!"

Finally, the moment has come.

Du Juan breathed a sigh of relief, and he stood up Shi Shiran. "The humble minister leads the decree."

After simply handling the matter at hand, he followed the eunuch into the palace.

At this time, the morning court had passed, and Her Majesty the Empress did not receive him in the main hall, but directly summoned him to the imperial study.When Du Juanqing arrived, apart from Mr. Di Ge and Mr. Zhang Xiangye, there were many people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, as well as Wu Chengsi and other core members of the martial arts family in the imperial study.

With a simple glance, Du Juanqing stepped forward to salute. "My minister has seen Her Majesty the Empress."

"Aiqing is free of courtesy, flat body." The queen said in a deep voice.

Du Juanqing quickly thanked her, raised her head, and boldly looked at the empress.

When the queen saw this, she instantly raised her eyebrows. "I don't know, but Marquis Changning is so courageous that he dares to look me in the eye! There are not many people in this world with your courage."

"Wei Chen has something in his hand and has confidence in his heart, so of course he is not afraid of anything." Du Juan responded calmly.

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly. "Aiqing is so confident?"

"That's natural." Du Juanqing nodded unceremoniously, "Presumably, Her Majesty the Empress summoned this minister to enter the palace today because of the iron mine in the land, right? The minister has already sorted out all the things related to the iron mine Already, please Your Majesty the Empress take a look."

After finishing speaking, he took out a scroll from his pocket and presented it respectfully with both hands.

The female officer on the side quickly took it and forwarded it up. The queen opened it and looked at it briefly, and she immediately showed satisfaction.

"According to Du Aiqing, the quality of the raw iron produced in this iron mine is not bad?" She raised her eyes and asked Du Juanqing again.

Du Juan nodded firmly. "It's not bad, but at least half of them are excellent. I'm just making a judgment after someone randomly takes a few pieces of raw iron to forge a weapon and makes sure it's usable."

"Oh? So, Marquis Changning, you opened the mine without the court's permission, and even summoned craftsmen to forge weapons for you in private?" Immediately, Wu Chengsi asked in a deep voice.

Du Juanqing's eyes darkened for a moment, but he still nodded. "Yes, I know my mistake, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Forget it. You probably did something wrong because you just discovered the iron ore, and you were confused for a while. Now that you have offered the iron ore, I will not pursue the little mistake before." Her Majesty waved her hand quickly , "However, you said how many weapons you have built, where are those weapons?"

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Du Juanqing's face.

"In fact, Weichen didn't get many things in his hands. At first, he only made a self-defense dagger for Weichen's wife and son. Later, he got an extra piece of raw iron, and asked someone to give Weichen another Forged a dagger, but the dagger last night..."

"What happened to the dagger?" The queen was puzzled.

The female officer beside her hurriedly whispered a few words in her ear.

After the queen heard this, she immediately frowned. "So, that dagger is now in Dali Temple?"

"Report to Your Majesty, that's right." Du Juan nodded.

"In that case, if I want to see the finished product now, I can only look at the ones in the hands of Mrs. Changning Hou and the Crown Prince." The queen nodded.

The female officer understood, and immediately ordered to the outside world: "Mrs. Xuan Chang Ning Hou, and the son of Chang Ning Hou come to the palace to have an audience!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, the eunuch turned around and ran out immediately.

Du Juanqing still looked cramped at this time. "A lot of things have been dug out of the iron ore. It's just that Yongxing County is too far away, and Weichen doesn't often wield swords and swords, so he didn't send too much raw iron. It was originally intended to be a self-defense for our family of three. The tools are enough."

This is far from what Wu Chengsi said about forging weapons in private.After all, who forged only three weapons?Moreover, there are two small daggers for self-defense, and a close-fitting dagger.If these things are taken out, they will not be able to deal with thousands of troops, okay?
Wu Chengsi frowned slightly when he heard this, and his face suddenly became unattractive.

Her Majesty the Queen laughed heartily. "Marquis of Changning, you are really as they said, honest and honest, indifferent to fame and fortune. Even though such a large iron mine is in your hands, you only forged three iron tools? You are really... called Zhen What should I say about you? It's been a long time since I met someone as honest as you!"

Du Junqing hastily cupped his hands again. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

But these words were heard by Wu Chengsi and the others, but they couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

Is he honest?To be honest!How can an honest person stand here safely and still accept Her Majesty's praise?If an honest man really got the iron ore, he would have been scared to death, and hastened to give up the iron ore. How can he be like him step by step, step by step, steadily and steadily, until now?
However, since Her Majesty the Empress has made such a conclusion, they will naturally not expose it, instead they all raised their smiling faces and echoed it repeatedly.Especially Wu Chengsi, he smiled the brightest and echoed the loudest.

Then, Her Majesty the Empress asked Du Juanqing a few more things about the iron mine, and Du Juanqing also explained everything in detail.

While speaking, Gu Caiwei had already led Du Yi into the palace.

The two of them entered the imperial study room together, and they heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.

"Mrs. Changninghou, son of Changninghou, you all come here! Show me the daggers that Changninghou made for you." After the ceremony, Her Majesty the Empress said hastily.

Hearing this, Du Yi immediately turned pale, and burst into tears.

Yes, he cried!

Seeing this little guy crying out of breath, with tears and snot falling down his face, Her Majesty the Empress was shocked.

"What's wrong with this child?" she asked hurriedly.

Gu Caiwei also hurried over to pull him up, but who knew that Du Yi sat down directly.

"You don't want to kill my dad, okay? My dad really didn't kill anyone, it was the man who bumped into his knife! So many people were watching at that time, he wanted to bully my dad, and my dad resisted , and then he died. But his elder brother wanted to kill my father, and also wanted to kill us. My father was acquitted by Dali Temple, but last night we were on the way home. It's archery and arson... I don't want to die, and I don't want daddy to die, please don't kill him, please? My daddy didn't do anything wrong!"

In just one night's effort, this little guy has learned the essence from Gu Tianyuan, and now he is crying like a proficiency.Looking at his heartbroken appearance, it seemed that Her Majesty the Empress had called them here just to kill Du Juanqing in front of him!
It is said that there is no limit to children's words.When Her Majesty the Empress heard this, she fixed her gaze: "Duke Zhou, what's going on?"

When Wu Chengsi was named, he couldn't help scolding Wu Chengyu in his heart, saying that the success of the incident was more than failure, but he didn't reveal the slightest bit of information, and only shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, calm down, this humble minister has nothing to do with you!" I know! Weichen learned of the quarrel between Marquis Changning and Weichen's nephew after hearing Dali Siqing's remarks early this morning. It's just that Weichen has been feeling unwell recently, and he doesn't manage the affairs of the court very much anymore, and he is even more disrespectful to the affairs of the younger generation. Intervene. However, if this matter is indeed related to Eleven Lang and the others, I will definitely teach them a lesson when I go back, and let them come to the door to apologize to Marquis Changning in person!"

Her Majesty's eyes are bright, how can she not know such little tricks he is playing?

Just because the other party is her own nephew, she can't break the matter, so she nodded and said: "Since the Dali Temple has pronounced a sentence, this matter has nothing to do with the Marquis of Changning, then you don't want to make trouble for no reason, and go to him again The Marquis of Changning has just entered You Xiaowei, and he has a lot of things at hand. Right now, there is also the matter of iron mines... If this is arranged, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people. The well-being of the people of the world is the most important thing , you must stop pestering others endlessly because of small favors and grievances."

"Yes, my nephew knows." Wu Chengsi quickly responded respectfully.

In fact, Du Yi has been crying for a while, what he wants is the Queen's words!

As long as the Empress Jinkou opens and tells the Wu family not to pursue this matter, then this matter will be settled. No matter how unwilling the Wu family is, they can only obey obediently.

Look, now that he's crying, wouldn't this matter be easily resolved?

The little uncle was right, there is milk for crying children.Especially in some small matters, making a fuss can indeed get a good response.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly raised his hand and wiped his face indiscriminately, then rushed to his head respectfully and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being so discerning, and for giving my father justice!"

Her Majesty the Empress really felt distressed seeing him so obviously crying out of breath but still adhering to etiquette.

"This child, come here." She waved to Du Yi.

Du Yi blinked, but it still passed.

When he arrived in front of the empress, the empress took out a handkerchief to wipe off the tears on his face, looked at his face carefully, and immediately nodded: "He is really a good boy, kind-hearted, and good-looking, I like you .”

Du Yi blinked, and he immediately grinned and smiled foolishly. "Grandma, I like you too!"

"presumptuous!"

Seeing this, Wu Chengsi hurriedly shouted again: "This is my Majesty the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can you let me shout here?"

"Sanlang, shut up." Her Majesty the Queen immediately scolded.

Wu Chengsi frowned again, but saw Her Majesty touching Du Yi's face again. "Grandma likes you too! You are such a lovely child."

After all, she also took off a jade pendant with her: "I called you into the palace suddenly today, and I didn't prepare any greeting ceremony, so I will keep this jade pendant for you to play with!"

"Thank you, grandma!" Du Yi quickly took it with both hands, and then returned to Gu Caiwei holding it like a baby, "Look, grandma, grandma gave it to me!"

Gu Caiwei nodded and helped him put the jade pendant on his belt.Du Yi lowered his head and looked at it for a long time.

Seeing his childish appearance, a smile appeared on Her Majesty's face.

Then, she turned her gaze to Gu Caiwei. "You are Mrs. Changning Hou?"

Gu Caiwei quickly lowered her head. "Return to Your Majesty, I am."

"Look up and let me see."

Gu Caiwei quickly raised her head, only to notice that two piercingly cold eyes looked back and forth at her, and then she took it back.

"You are also a good boy, no wonder Taiping has praised you in front of me several times." At the end, she heard Her Majesty the Queen say softly.

It turns out that Princess Taiping once praised herself in front of her?

Gu Caiwei was slightly startled, but she also figured it out right away—Princess Taiping also had a heart of wanting to be an empress dowager.Over the years, she has presented countless young and handsome young men to Her Majesty, and there are countless elixir to prolong life.So now there is a living woman who can make medicinal food and regulate the body, how can Princess Taiping let her go?I'm afraid she has recommended many times to Her Majesty the Queen in private.

That's why when seeing her now, Her Majesty the Empress has such a familiar attitude.

Knowing this in her heart, Gu Caiwei lowered her head. "The princess is really overrated. In fact, I was just greedy, so I studied it with my heart. But compared to the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, my methods are not worth mentioning at all."

"You can't say that. Since Taiping has been full of praise for you, it means that you are capable. It seems that whenever you are free, I will let you come into the palace to cook some fresh dishes for me. Eat it." Her Majesty the Queen said slowly, but she had already changed the subject, "But now, you should take out your daggers and show me for a look!"

"Yes." Gu Caiwei nodded quickly, and then she and Du Yi each took out their personal daggers and sent them up.

The female officer put the two daggers on a plate, turned around and brought them to Her Majesty the Queen.

Her Majesty the Empress picked up Du Yi's first to look at it, and then nodded in satisfaction: "It is indeed a good knife, the sharpness is not exposed, and all of it is contained in it, but once it is activated with the force of thought, the murderous aura will be revealed - it really is Chang Ning Hou your style."

Looking at Gu Caiwei's hand again, she frowned again for an instant. "Why is the dagger broken?"

Gu Caiwei quickly told about the last time Princess Taiping insisted on fighting with her.

Her Majesty the Queen couldn't help shaking her head after hearing this. "This child Taiping is too willful. And Princess Jianchang, what's she talking about? Look, what kind of dagger has been trampled by them now?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I know a master swordsmith. His skills are superb. No matter how damaged the ironware is, as long as it is in his hands, it will definitely look brand new, and some of them will even glow with new vitality! Looking back, I will say Introduce him to the Marquis of Changning, within a month, Madam Changning's dagger will definitely be back to normal." Wu Chengsi hurriedly spoke again.

"That would be the best." Her Majesty the Queen nodded.

After playing with the two daggers in her hands, she asked someone to return them to Gu Caiwei and Du Yi.

"Okay, now I have a rough understanding of the iron mines in Yongxing County. Marquis Changning, you found the iron mines, but you didn't take credit for it, and you handed it over to the imperial court as soon as possible. I will definitely reward you for this matter! With this iron mine, since it is in your fiefdom, it should be handed over to you for management first, and the Ministry of War and Household Department will coordinate management, what do you think?"

"Everything is at the disposal of Her Majesty the Empress!" Du Juanqing agreed without any doubt.

Her Majesty the Queen was very satisfied with his straightforward attitude.

But right away, I heard Du Juanqing carefully mentioning: "Then, I don't know the dagger that I left in Dali Temple..."

"Now that the truth has been revealed, I will urge them to close the case as soon as I go back, and the relevant evidence will naturally be returned to the parties concerned." Dali Siqing said quickly.

The queen nodded. "This is the best. It's just that... in the matter of Wu Chengwei's death, although you were innocent, you didn't stop it in time. Speaking of it, you still need to bear some responsibility. However, since you are busy with official duties, I will fine you a salary." Years, to comfort Wu Chengwei's family, Marquis of Changning, are you convinced?"

"Weichen is convinced!" Du Juan nodded hastily.

When Gu Caiwei heard this, she almost couldn't help laughing in the imperial study.

Her Majesty the Queen is really cruel!
Just now, under Du Yi's crying, she had already taken the initiative to characterize the matter - Wu Chengwei wanted to die by himself, so Du Juanqing was tragically implicated.So now, if she pretends that Du Juanqing needs to share some of the responsibility for ineffective dissuasion, and then pretends to fine her salary for one year, then this matter will be completely over!

The sufferer's family got compensation—although the Wu family didn't like this kind of compensation at all, but at least there was compensation!Du Juanqing also paid the due price - one year's salary, and they didn't live on that little salary from the imperial court!

In other words, with a few words of mild reprimand and a bit of mild punishment, the matter was completely resolved.After the Wu family took the money, they are not eligible to come to Du Jun to settle their accounts in the future.Du Juanqing would then be able to take care of You Xiaowei's affairs and the iron mine under his name in peace and stability.

Therefore, he is of course very satisfied with Her Majesty's arrangement.

Wu Chengsi immediately expressed his agreement on behalf of the Wu family.

And then, that's the end of the matter.

Her Majesty the Empress is getting old, and she has just finished the morning court, and now she is too tired to go through all this tossing.He just yawned and waved them away.

Gu Caiwei couldn't wait for her wish, so she hurriedly retreated with Du Juanqing and Du Yi.

But now because of this iron mine, Du Junqing has suddenly become the hottest existence in Chang'an City.

Now that the news about the iron mine has not been spread, the people who were summoned by Her Majesty the Queen this morning were the first to know about it. Naturally, they all wanted to get close to Du Juan.So from the time when they left the imperial study room to the gate of the palace, these people surrounded Du Juanqing and talked to him in a hurry.

This caused the two useless people, Gu Caiwei and Du Yi, to be pushed aside, and the two walked behind hand in hand as a matter of course, watching Du Juanqing surrounded by these people, his expression was already very ugly But it still can't break out, so I can only continue to deal with it patiently.

Fortunately, these people also have eyes.Seeing that Du Juanqing was getting impatient, they gradually shut up.They just arrived at the gate of the palace, so they hurriedly said goodbye and pedaled away.

However, there was another person, he did not take the initiative to come over to speak to Du Juanqing from the beginning to the end, he just walked slowly aside, looking at the group of people who were vying to talk to Du Juanqing with a smile on his face and a look of contempt in his eyes. people.

After finally waiting for those people to leave, he Shi Shiran came to Du Juanqing's side: "Marquis of Changning."

Du Juan turned his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, what can I do for you?"

"Of course it's the one I promised in front of Her Majesty the Queen just now." Wu Chengsi said with a smile, "When you are free, I will take you to meet that master? His blacksmithing skills are very superb, Taiping The dagger in the princess' hand came from this master."

"So that's it." Du Juanqing nodded, "It's just that, Mr. Zhou, you are busy with business, so I don't dare to bother you. You should just tell the officer the name and location of this person, and the officer will come to visit by himself, and I will definitely report to you at that time." Put your name on it."

"But that person has a very weird temper. If there is no one to lead the way, ordinary people will not be able to approach his house at all!" Wu Chengsi still smiled slightly, but the corners of his lips had already revealed a hint of complacency.

Du Juanqing frowned slightly, so he could only nod. "Since this is the case, the next official can only boldly ask Zhou Guogong to help introduce him."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, they are all from our own!" Wu Chengsi laughed quickly, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "I knew that the descendants of Duke Lai are naturally outstanding! "

After all, he felt a little itchy on his neck again.However, he could still hold back the itch, so he continued to say goodbye to Du Juanqing with a smile, and then got on his horse and left contentedly.

As soon as he left on the front foot, Du Juanqing's face darkened again on the back foot.

"Get in the car!" He said to Gu Caiwei.

Gu Caiwei hurriedly dragged Du Yi into the car, and several people returned to the Hou Mansion together.

Until this time, Du Juanqing's face was still gloomy and terrifying.

Du Yi looked terrified.He hurriedly pulled Gu Caiwei quietly: "Why do you think Dad looks so ugly? Isn't the life lawsuit already settled?"

"The life lawsuit is over, but now a little cockroach crawls over. It can't be trampled to death and can't be shaken off. He pretended to be generous and gave you so many benefits, forcing you to accept them. Wouldn't it be disgusting for you?" Gu Caiwei only said.

Du Yi thought about it carefully. "It's pretty disgusting."

When Gu Tianyuan heard that they were back, he ran out quickly.Just in time to hear Gu Caiwei and Du Yi's words, he hurriedly asked: "Which little cockroach from the Wu family hugged my brother-in-law?"

Du Yi told all the things Wu Chengsi did.

After Gu Tianyuan listened, he smiled disdainfully. "It's not easy to solve this matter? Didn't he keep saying that he would recommend you the master swordsmith? Let's do it secretly and let the master not give him face in public, isn't that all right?"

"Little uncle, your words are too light. We don't even know who the master is! Zhou Guogong also insisted on the news, and refused to reveal a word." Du Yi said in a muffled voice, "And look What he means is that that person is really difficult to deal with, I think he was a little scared when he talked about that person."

"It's hard to deal with! The most famous swordsmith in the world is none other than Yang Mingzi. But Yang Mingzi didn't come out very much ten years ago, and now it's his three apprentices who are moving around to pick up jobs. And The person who is well-known near Chang'an City and has a weird temper, who always likes to set up some random rules to scare off others, so as to improve his reputation and make a lot of money, if I remember correctly, it should be Zheng Ningzi?" Gu Tianyuan He picked up his fingers and calculated carefully, then looked at Gu Caiwei, "Sister, am I right?"

"That's right, it's him." Gu Caiwei nodded.

Gu Tianyuan laughed so hard that he almost let out a donkey bray. "So it's really him! Just this guy who made a fool of himself and really fooled them all?"

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but shook her head with a smile. "Isn't this what Yang Mingzi is best at? Naturally, his apprentices have also received his true biography."

Hearing what they said, Du Yi's eyes brightened immediately. "Do you know this person?"

"It's not just acquaintances? We're so close, okay?" Gu Tianyuan quickly replied, "Besides, it's Zheng Yangzi who owed my sister a favor. At that time, he voluntarily promised to do whatever she asked for! So now, as long as If you want him to help, it's just a matter of lip service, and in the end you don't even need to owe favors, and he still has to be grateful to us!"

"That's it, that's great!" After Du Yi heard this, he immediately clapped his hands with joy.

But Du Juanqing's eyes dimmed, he suddenly pulled Gu Caiwei up, dragged her directly into the room, and then asked her in a deep voice. "How many capable people and strangers do you know in Chang'an City? How many things do you still keep from me?"

"Didn't I tell you, there are many, many? It's just that if I don't meet them normally, I can't remember them. But as long as I remember them, I will definitely tell you. Just like today, A Yuan and I don't You didn't hide anything?" Gu Caiwei was very dissatisfied with his aggressive attitude.

"What about Her Majesty the Empress?" Du Juanqing asked.

Gu Caiwei blinked. "What happened to Her Majesty the Queen?"

Du Juan looked into her eyes firmly, and said word by word: "When you entered the palace to see Her Majesty the Empress today, you were afraid."
