"I'm asking you something, you'd better answer truthfully, otherwise don't blame me for being punished!"

Li Jun asked Uncle De what happened, but because Uncle De had something in his heart, he was hesitant and unclear every time he answered, and the description process was even biased and contradictory.

Even if Li Jun is not a new official, he can still tell that this bad old man is lying.

Chapter 598 Conquer Gu Qianfan and meet Zhang Haohao for the first time

"It's the official." Lin Zhi replied with a smile.

"I didn't expect that you are also from the Imperial City Department!" Gu Qianfan sighed, and then asked curiously:

"By the way, which department under the Imperial City Division are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Lin Zhi said calmly: "I am serving as the commander of the Detective Department of the Imperial City Department!"

"Detective Department?" Then Gu Qianfan fell silent, because he had already guessed that the guy in front of him had taken his place.

Gu Qianfan originally wanted to ask something, but before he could ask, Lin Zhi extended his hand in an invitation gesture and said:

"Master Gu, the Marquis is still waiting for you!"

Gu Qianfan thought for a while but did not speak. Instead, he followed Lin Zhi into the Imperial City Division and waited until he met Marquis Jing'an before asking what was going on.

To be honest, Gu Qianfan originally had a good impression of Marquis Jing'an. On the one hand, he was his savior, but even his savior kicked him away from the Imperial City Division for no reason.

It still made him feel very unhappy.

You know, Gu Qianfan was a second-class Jinshi, but in order to complete the tasks assigned to him by Qi Zhong, he gave up his promising future and entered the Imperial City Division.

For this reason, he was misunderstood by his family and friends. As a result, he struggled for so many years and finally climbed to the position of commander of the Detective Department.

As a result, when Lin Hao arrived, he kicked him out of the Imperial City Division without saying a word. How could Gu Qianfan be willing to do so?

Soon, the two came to Lin Hao.

"Master Marquis, I brought Gu Qianfan here, so I will leave first!" After seeing Lin Hao, Lin Zhi knew that they had something to talk about, so he left knowingly.

"Your Majesty, Gu Qianfan, has met Marquis Jing'an!" Gu Qianfan bowed and bowed his hands in salute.

After glancing at Gu Qianfan, Lin Hao got straight to the point and said:

"You must be wondering, why should I kick you out of the Imperial City Division?"

Gu Qianfan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Lin Hao to be so straightforward and directly asked the doubts in his heart, and then said:

"The lower official thinks that he has been conscientious for many years, and has cracked many important documents for the Imperial City Division over the years, but he is confused in his heart."

"Please also ask Mr. Marquis to give you a clear warning!"

"I know!" Lin Hao glanced at Gu Qianfan, and then said calmly: "It's not that you didn't do it well, it's that it was inappropriate!"

"Inappropriate?" Gu Qianfan was confused and still didn't understand the meaning of Lin Hao's words.

Lin Hao saw that Gu Qianfan hadn't figured it out yet, so he reminded:

"You have entered Beijing together with your father. Do you know why your father came to Beijing?"

Gu Qianfan blurted out after hearing this:

"The officials recruited him to be the prime minister in Beijing~!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gu Qianfan immediately realized that his father served as the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and his son worked in the Imperial City Department~!

How could the official family tolerate such a thing? Others didn't care whether he had conflicts with his father or whether they would help his father provide information.

People, including officials, would only think that the prime minister obtained the right to supervise officials through him in disguise, which no emperor would tolerate.

To put it bluntly, if something like this really happened, it would be an easy task for the officials to drag the father and son out and chop them down, or it would be possible to confiscate the family and exterminate the family.

Thinking of this, Gu Qianfan felt mixed emotions in his heart. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only clasp his fists and say gratefully:

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your advice!" Gu Qianfan hesitated for a moment and asked:

"But not many people know that Xiao Qinyan is my father~!"

Lin Hao smiled nonchalantly, then pointed at himself and said:

"I knew it before I entered the Imperial City Department. How many of the top nobles in the capital do you think don't know it?"

Gu Qianfan's breath was stagnant when he heard this. Lin Hao's sentence "How many people don't know" shows that this matter is not a secret.

Seeing that Gu Qianfan still looked unwilling, Lin Hao shook his head and continued:

"I know you want to get ahead with your own talents without relying on your father's power and connections, but you can't change your identity as Xiao Qinyan's eldest son!"

"Unless your father gives up being the prime minister, or you enter the civil administration system, no matter whether you are in the Imperial City Department or in the military, you will never get ahead!"

Looking at Gu Qianfan who was interested in Xingshan, Lin Hao smiled and reminded:

"But you don't have to be discouraged. Your father is already very old and how long can he be the prime minister? Why should he be so anxious?"

Gu Qianfan was a little decadent at this time, and still asked unwillingly:

"Is there really no way?"

Lin Hao pondered for a while and finally said:

"Actually it's not impossible!"

"What can we do?" Gu Qianfan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"It's not that I won't give you a chance!" Lin Hao tapped the table a few times with his fingers, and then said:

"If you are willing, you still have to go to Fenwuying to be the governor, but you can secretly work for the Imperial City Division, and there will be an excuse to transfer you back to the Imperial City Division in the future!"

In fact, Lin Hao didn't understand why Gu Qianfan was so persistent in the Imperial City Division. He could definitely enter the civil service system, and his future would definitely be a smooth career.

And he was obsessed with doing something on his own, to prove that he could get ahead with his own abilities even without relying on Xiao Qinyan.

It feels like Gu Qianfan has gone a little crazy in order to get rid of his father's influence!

However, Lin Hao felt that maybe it was because he was of low character and did not have as noble sentiments as him, so he could not understand Gu Qianfan's brain circuit.

"Really?" Gu Qianfan asked doubtfully.

Lin Hao shook his head and said:

"If you ask me if my tone is true or false, why don't you ask yourself if you can accept such an arrangement? Anyway, I think it's not worth the gain, and you may not be willing to accept secretly working for the Imperial City Department!"

"I am willing to accept it!" Gu Qianfan said firmly.

"Are you sure?" However, Lin Hao agreed directly and said with a joking face:

"If I arrange for you to investigate Qi Zhongcheng, see how many assets his family has, how they came from, and whether he has bullied the people and usurped their property!"

"Will you still agree?" Lin Hao lay on the chair and said nonchalantly.

"Master Hou, Qi Zhongcheng is a clean figure~!" Gu Qianfan subconsciously wanted to speak for Qi Mu.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Hao:

"I don't care if he is a clear streamer or something else. I just want to know if he has done anything illegal!"

Then Lin Hao smiled and said:

"And Commander Gu, don't forget what the Imperial City Division's accusation is."

Gu Qianfan was speechless. Supervising all officials was the responsibility of the Imperial City Department.

However, Qi Mu was Gu Qianfan's idol and his mentor.

How could I investigate my mentor?

At the same time, Gu Qianfan thought of a possibility. What if Qi Zhongcheng did something illegal? What would he do?

Report it or not report it?This made Gu Qianfan extremely confused.

Lin Hao could naturally see Gu Qianfan's hesitation and said again:

"I wonder if you have noticed that your mentor has always been calling your father Xiao Qinyan a traitor in the name of upholding justice, right?"

"Then have you ever thought about why he said this about your father?"

As he spoke, Lin Hao took a look at the overwhelmed Gu Qianfan and continued:

"I have just said that the relationship between you and your father is not a secret among the top leaders of the Song Dynasty, but you just think it is a secret!"

"Knowing that you are father and son, I still want to encourage you to deal with your father. You think you are upholding justice and you are loyal to the officials and the Song Dynasty, right?"

Gu Qianfan was stunned by Lin Hao's words, and at this time Lin Hao said several times:

"And when you left the capital, both he and Xianggong Ke secretly told you that the queen had been a singer and had been deceiving the officials. Before marrying the officials, not only was the queen not the perfect voice, You were married before, right!"

"And he also said that the queen was trying to seize the imperial power and recreate the old events of Wu Zhou, right?"

"And you also think that taking the night banquet picture to deal with the queen is to repay the official family, right?"

Gu Qianfan was shocked and speechless as Lin Hao told him one thing after another.

Because all of this has happened, and only the three parties involved should know about it. Why does Lin Hao also know about it?

At this time, Lin Hao suddenly smiled, and then took out a secret decree and said:

"This is the secret order given to me by the officials, which is to let me burn the night banquet picture in Qiantang. You think the queen is deceiving the officials, but the queen has never concealed it from the officials."

"And the officials knew from the beginning that he just loved the queen and wanted to deal with this situation in a low-key manner!"

Gu Qianfan was in disbelief when he checked the secret order and found that it was indeed a secret order written by an official, and there was also a golden token.

The collapse of faith only took a moment. After Gu Qianfan read the official secret decree, he immediately recalled in his mind the things that Ke Xiang and Qi Zhongcheng'er had suggested to slander his father in the past few years.

But Gu Qianfan still had doubts in his heart, so he asked:

"However, it seems that Ke Xiang and Qi Zhongcheng are looking for the night banquet picture for the sake of the stability of the Song Dynasty. Anyone who does not know is not guilty~!"

"The scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty tried to rule the world together with the Song Dynasty, instead of ruling the world with the people!" Lin Hao said with a look of helplessness:

"It seems that you are really not suitable for the Imperial City Division. If you don't understand this clearly, you should just go to the army and become a Du Yuhou!"
