Chapter 670 Change
While complaining in his heart, Li Qubing still said solemnly: "It's nothing, Ben Duhu has long heard that there is a group of Turkic thieves on the west side of Xizhou. The Duhu tried to send troops to destroy it several times, but it was always unsuccessful. At that time, the Duhu suspected that there were Turkic thieves in the Duhu's mansion..."

With the development of the matter to the present stage, regardless of whether the whole matter was written by Cui Youbo or not, Li Qubing has to follow his script.

As for being used by others, Li Qubing was not too depressed.

Because Cui Youbo is very good at handling things, he described "helpless to exterminate horse thieves" as Li Qubing's clever plan in a few sentences, thus establishing Li Duhu's glorious image of "wise" and "resolute".

According to this rhetoric, the incident of the robbing of the Pingxi army's firearms depot also logically became a trick to lure horse thieves into the trap.

In this way, no one will pursue the dereliction of duty of Li Duhu and other officials - the Turkic horse bandit crossed several states and counties as if there was no one in the land. Once this matter is implemented, Li Duhu is no matter how innocent. However, the charges cannot be escaped.

But let Cui Youbo say this, things will not be like that at all.

Li Duhu's "negligence" has become "preparation for a rainy day", and his "dereliction of duty" has also become "smart calculation".

All of a sudden, the face of the officials of the entire Anxi Protectorate Mansion was restored.

In particular, Li Qubing, not only has no fault, but has merit. These horse thieves may not be Turkic spies, but there are indeed more than 100 Turkic people among the corpses on the ground, and many of them were once He Lu's tent Pawns, this can't be faked.

In the army, sometimes in order to claim credit and get the number of heads, the general who leads the army will kill a few enemy civilians to make up for it.

It's better now, and there is no need to make up for it. These people are Turkic soldiers. When Li Qubing wrote the scriptures, he was not usually full of confidence.

Therefore, even if Li Qubing already guessed that he was being used by Cui Youbo, he still couldn't expose it, not only couldn't expose it, but he still had to happily accept other people's 'goodwill'.

After all, Cui Youbo put all the credit on Li Qubing, but he himself, like a soy saucer, seemed to just follow Li Duhu on an errand, and it was Li Duhu who worked hard.

Li Qubing had to accept this favor.

Sigh, and let's go... Li Qubing glanced quietly at Cui Youbo who was smiling all over his face, and couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive in his heart: This kid is not yet thirty, he is so scheming, ruthless and hot, and he just acts like a fool. Such generosity, credit or something, let people make people as soon as they say, without any reluctance or distress.

Such a person is really not easy to mess with!

Even if you can't be cited as a confidant, you must never offend.

Especially this kid is still the emperor's confidant, in front of the new king, he has more face than his nominal clan brother.

Therefore, knowing that Cui Youbo used him and intended to use him to get rid of Guo Jizu, Li Qubing not only couldn't get angry, but even cooperated.

No, it can't just be cooperation, he also has to return a big gift to Uncle Cui.

After thinking about it, Li Qubing came up with an idea. After he finished the nonsense that he was very 'wise', he changed the subject: "...Thanks to the help of all the lords and soldiers, this Duhu can go smoothly. Suppress the Turkic rebels, and successfully take down these two collaborators and treasonous scum, come here, take down Guo and Dong!"

Before the words fell, Guo Jizu's face was ashen.

If he was lucky just now, then at this moment, he was completely desperate——Li Qubing and Cui Youbo were trying to force his whole family to die.

Collaboration with the enemy and treason, how big a crime is this?

Guo Jizu bit his cheek so hard that he bit the tender flesh on the inner wall of his mouth, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he no longer lay on the ground pretending to be dead, got up, and stared at Cui Youbo bitterly - this guy was too cruel, not only wanted his own life, but actually wanted his whole Guo family to die.

Obviously, he just raised a few horse thieves and wanted to give himself some confidence. How, how did he collaborate with the enemy?

Besides, he is an old minister of Zhenguan. He once followed the late emperor to conquer the east and west. He also personally participated in the suppression of the Eastern Turks before.

Guo Jizu hated the Turks, how could he collude with them?

Also, if he sincerely colludes, he doesn't have to wait until today. In the early years, when He Lu was still the governor of Yaochi, he tried to win him over several times, but he rejected them all.

Unexpectedly, now, he was labeled as such.

But, he said something to refute. If Li Qubing and other officials of the Duhufu were not there, he could still say that Cui Youbo colluded with those women and children to give false testimony in order to hit him. Everyone knows.

But Li Qubing and others were there, and they saw the performance of Mrs. Lou and other women with their own eyes. Even if these people really perjured themselves, Guo Jizu would not be able to tell.

Because, if he said it was Cui Youbo's trick, those women and children were also made by Cui Youbo to frame him.Then Guo Jizu had to explain how Cui Youbo secretly hid these women and children in the earth castle.

Yes, how did Cui Youbo do it?
Dong Yuan may be an idiot, but Dong Da is extremely reliable. With him in charge, the security of the bunker is quite high.

You must know that the Duhu Mansion tried to destroy the earthen castle several times before, but they couldn't even find the exact location of the earthen earthen castle, let alone 'suppress bandits'.

It shows that the horse thieves under Dong Da's rule are still somewhat capable.

But, under such strict guards, how could Uncle Cui stuff those women and children into the dungeon of the bunker without anyone noticing?

Guo Jizu couldn't figure it out, and this question is probably going to be taken into the grave by him.

Because, when he was in Tubao, Li Qubing and Cui Youbo tied him up, and after they brought him back to Shanzhou, they even let him be thrown into the state capital for strict supervision.

Immediately afterwards, Li and Cui each wrote a memorial to the saint and reported the matter to the court respectively.

In order to show that Guo deserved to die, Cui Youbo also sorted out all the crimes of Guo Jizu he had found in the past two years, including witness testimony, physical evidence, and state government account books, and reported them to the sage.

It can be said that even if Guo Jizu is not convicted of collaborating with the enemy, just looking at the evidence of illegal activities is enough to make someone Guo die several times.

With the kite as the messenger, within four or five days, the sage's will came down - Guo Jizu communicated with foreign enemies, harmed the people, intended to rebel, and made a decision.All the men of the Guo family were sentenced to be beheaded, the female family members were confiscated as servants and servants, and their property was confiscated!

In the whole matter, no one in the court interceded for Guo Jizu.

After the imperial decree, Guo Jizu was executed immediately, and he did not have the opportunity to have a private interview with Cui Youbo until his death.

It's not that he didn't want to, but that Cui Youbo didn't agree.

Just kidding, Uncle Cui is not a idler who is full and has nothing to do. His nemesis is about to be executed, and he even went to the house to call it 'visiting the prison', but in fact he showed off.

This is politics. If you win, you win. There is no need to pretend to be a good person.

Cui Youbo didn't want to stage any drama of "I'll make you understand the ghost once before you die", and he didn't want to tell him all the ins and outs of how he designed Guo Jizu.

Uncle Cui would never tell Guo Jizu that you lost to a few idlers in the street who were sneaking around!
Cui Youbo even thought unkindly, if he really told Guo, would the old man be so angry that he vomited blood and died if he knew the truth? !
And to be honest, Guo Jizu has been tricked by him now, and he doesn't know how to trick him, which shows how low his IQ is, and Cui Youbo doesn't want to chat with idiots.

With this spare time, Uncle Cui wanted to do more serious business, even writing letters and chatting with his wife and children, would be better than a hypocritical 'heart-to-heart' conversation with an old enemy.

Speaking of his wife and children, Cui Youbo suddenly remembered that, counting the time, Wu Wuniang should have arrived in Beijing, and he wondered if the lady would be unhappy seeing her.

In fact, Cui Youbo was too worried, Wu Wuniang VS Xiao Nan, Wu Wuniang was really unhappy.

Arriving at Cui's house on the first day, Xiao Nan gave Wu Wuniang several insults one after another. After dressing herself up, she wanted to go to pay her respects, but she was taken back.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Wuniang, who had hardly slept all night, got up early, finished dressing up, changed into brand new dresses, and tidied up everything, and it was still dark outside.

With the stars and the moon on her head, she was the first to arrive at the Weiwei Courtyard.

The woman who opened the door heard the door calling and came to open the door while yawning.

Seeing that it was Wu Wuniang, the mother-in-law muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's too early, let's say madam hasn't woken up yet, and the dawn drum outside hasn't sounded yet... Really, early in the morning disturbs people's dreams..."

The voice of the second half of the sentence was extremely soft, but Wu Wuniang still heard it.

Being complained face to face by a woman, if she followed Wu Wuniang's temper in the past, she would laugh it off.

But last night, she thought about it all night. In response to Xiao Nan's attitude towards her, she decided to change her strategy. She no longer played the role of a virtuous and gentle lady, but wanted COS to be a concubine with shallow knowledge.

Anyway, in the Cui family, she was just a concubine.

"Crack~"

As soon as Wu Wuniang thought of the word 'concubine', she couldn't help but think of what happened back then, and the anger in her heart surged. Now she didn't have to pretend, she almost acted in her true colors. She raised her hand and slapped her mother-in-law hard. "Presumptuous, what are you, dare to criticize the master? Don't you know the family rules of Rongshoutang?"

Didn't that girl Bai Zhi keep saying yesterday that 'the Cui family's family rules stipulate that slaves and maidservants are not allowed to privately discuss the master's house'?Today she returned these words to Xiao Nan intact.

She wanted to see how Xiao Nan would respond.

The mother-in-law slapped her, and she was stunned. She said that although she was just a low-ranking rough envoy in the Weiwei Courtyard, she was a "seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate". And she was still in charge of guarding the gate, and the servants of Rongshou Hall all looked up to her. Even the maids in charge, such as Tie Niangzi and Yuzhu, would smile and nod when they saw her.

I think she has been working in Weirui Courtyard for nearly ten years, this, this is the first time someone slapped her in the face...

PS: Hey, the first update of the new year, dear ones, how are you doing today?A certain Sa is here to wish everyone a happy new year, auspicious year of the horse, and good luck in everything, and everything goes smoothly~
