Chapter 131 Break! (Pink 195+)

(Thanks to He Shibi who heard the flute under the moon! Please have mercy on Mr. Pink!)

This letter was sent by Yuan Qiuguan Lingtai Lang Weiyan. As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Gu Zhan certainly knew that Wei Yan had resigned from office, and he had heard from court officials that he had retired to Yecheng.

Gu Zhan would not have paid attention to Wei Yan, a small official below the sixth rank, but because his granddaughter Gu Yan was involved in evil things at that time, he set his sights on Si Tiantai, and especially on the five-featured Lingtai Lang. Heart.

Gu Zhan remembered that Wei Yan seemed to have resigned after the evil incident. At that time, he was still very strange, but he must know that it was Dading's kindness to Taoist priests to enter the official position as Lingtai Lang.Among the thousands of mountains and mountains in Dading, there are thousands of Taoist priests, but there are very few who can be awarded official positions.Naturally, there are very few people who resign from office and go back to seclusion.

Gu Zhan also knew the reason for Wei Yan's resignation. He knew that it was because of returning to the mountains and forests to ask questions.For people like Wei Yan, who are tired of official careers and want to resign and go back to the mountains, it is a matter of instant thought, and it is difficult to have a reason.

At that time, Gu Zhan didn't think much about it, but now that he received this letter, he didn't think there was a reason for Wei Yan's resignation.

This letter is very short, except for Wei Yan's seal, there are only a few sentences, which read: "Master Shangshu paused: In the past, Mr. Gu, the prime minister in the palace, bribed grassroots people to prove that his granddaughter is an evildoer. Ancient teachings Said: "If you receive fish and lose your salary, you can't eat fish. If you don't receive salary, you will eat fish all your life." The grassroots people feel ashamed about the fish salary. Wei Yan bows."

Gu Zhan looked at these lines word by word, afraid that he might misread or miss it, and he didn't realize that his hands were trembling, and the letter paper in his hand was fluttering. Fortunately, he was sitting. If he was standing, I'm afraid Already unsteady.

"Old master..." Seeing this, the old servant Gu Zhong called out worriedly, guessing what was written in the letter and why the old man's expression was so ugly.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Gu Zhan said repeatedly, not knowing whether he was answering Gu Zhong or comforting himself.Even so, Gu Zhan still felt that his heart was frozen by the ice, and it was hard to breathe.
Master Gu once bribed grassroots people to prove that his granddaughter was a monster... Such words lingered in Gu Zhan's mind.The meaning of this letter made him tremble with fear. If what Wei Yan said was true, then...then this second son broke his family by himself, and his heart should be killed!

But how is this possible?This is his second son, it is impossible to do such a thing of destroying the family!Gu Zhan subconsciously shook his head, couldn't help pressing his hands on his chest, trying to calm himself down.

"Immediately check the origin of this letter, and send someone to the post station in Yecheng to check to see if such a letter has been sent!" Soon, Gu Zhan gave the order to verify the origin of this letter as soon as possible!
"Prepare the sedan chair, I'll go back to the government office immediately!" Gu Zhan continued, he wanted to go back to the government office of the Ministry of Officials to find Wei Yan's seal for comparison.When an official resigns, the common private seal will be recorded in the Ministry of Officials, which is also a valid proof of personal identity.

Tomorrow is the day to return to the government office on the seventh day of the lunar new year. Why is the old man in such a hurry to return to the government office?Gu Zhong thought suspiciously, but immediately took the order and told the steward of the front yard to do things.

"At the post station, go with my seal. The Ministry of Taoism and Officials has something important to do! Don't delay for a moment!" Before leaving the door, Gu Zhan emphasized again.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Gu Zhong also told the steward exactly what he said, telling them to deal with the matter seriously and urgently.

Let's say that after Gu Zhan returned to the official office of the Ministry of Officials, he hurriedly found out the dossier of officials who resigned last year, and found the genus of Si Tiantai Lingtai Lang.

Among this genus, the first one above is Qiuguan Lingtai Lang Weiyan's information, and the privately printed record is on the second page.

Gu Zhan stretched out his trembling hands to open the second page, but he felt that this thin page weighed a thousand catties, and he had to use all his strength to open it, and even felt that his forehead was sweating.

As soon as Wei Yan's private seal appeared, Gu Zhan felt his eyes darkened, as if his eyes were covered by something.He barely held onto the table, and it took him a while to feel himself back to normal.

The print on it is the same as the letter he received! The anti-counterfeiting breakpoints of the word "Yan" are all exactly the same!Obviously, these two seals come out of the same seal, which is Wei Yan's unique private seal!
Gu Zhan stared at these two prints. In the spacious room of the Ministry of Rituals, only the sound of Gu Zhan's suppressed breathing could be heard. It was like the thunder and lightning hidden before the storm, which made people feel frightened.

For a long time, I didn't know what he was thinking, the veins in his hands swelled up, and even the age spots on the back of his hands seemed to float.

After the ten major dynasties of the first lunar month were over, Gu Zhan used excuses to talk to Si Tiancheng, Gu Qingchen.Gu Qingchen and Gu Zhan had an old relationship, although there was a big difference in their official ranks, but Si Tiantai's official position could not be discussed normally, and the two of them had two things to say.

Gu Zhan was talking miscellaneously, and asked about Qiuguan Lingtailang's replacement, and finally brought the topic to Wei Yan.

"Speaking of which, why did Wei Yan resign at that time?" Gu Zhan asked, insinuating what he secretly wanted to know.

"This matter must be because of the evildoer at that time. After Wei Yan resigned, the five senses of Lingtai Lang seemed to be a little bit wrong, and they returned to normal some time ago." Gu Qingchen said, thinking of the evildoer at that time, his tone was somewhat uncomfortable nature.

There were two evil things one after another, which greatly changed Gu Qingchen's mood. He didn't want to say these things anymore, but seeing that it was Gu Zhan, he replied these words.

"Speaking of the evil things at that time, I'm still curious. I remember that you were all watching the stars at the Si Tiantai, and you didn't pay much attention to things outside the stage. How did you know about the evil things so quickly?" Gu Zhan He continued to ask, his expression didn't show any abnormality, but his heart was raised tightly.

"Think about it... It seems that Xie Deng, the Prime Minister of the Palace, came to Si Tiantai to ask about it, so he said this. After that, things have been like that." Gu Qingchen half-closed his eyes, carefully recalling the events at that time.

Because this matter was the cause of his change of mood, he picked up all of them later, and these details can be remembered as long as he concentrates on them.

The Prime Minister of the Palace, Xie Deng!Dianzhong Cheng, Dianzhong Sheng... Gu Zhan remembered that the friendship between his second son Gu Chongting and Xie Deng had always been very good.

He heard a "bang", his heart fell to the ground and turned into a pink torreya.He closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down, and replied dryly: "So that's the case, I've been thinking about it recently..."

After remembering this, how do you go on?Gu Zhan felt that his tone was difficult, and he didn't want to say anything for a while.The things he sought to prove proved what he was least willing to admit, and Gu Zhan suddenly lost the courage to face it directly.
Some things are not exposed because people's hearts are not enough.Gu Zhan never imagined that Gu Chongting would have any evil intentions about the evil things back then. When he saw Wei Yan's letter, he followed this direction to investigate, and the result shocked and saddened him so much.

These all show that the second son he has always loved and trusted has creepy intentions when it comes to A Bi being accused of being a monster!
But why?Will someone destroy their nest and destroy their home?The son who has always been excellent, the son who has always been depended on, actually has the heart to be destroyed?Gu Zhan couldn't accept this, and didn't know what to do with these things for a while.
He returned to Xuanping Street in despair, but met a man outside the gate of Gu's house, a person who could not wait for the door of Gu's house, Shen Du from Zhongshushe!

Gu Zhan adjusted his expression, squeezed out a smile, and walked to the place where Shen Du was standing.

"The lower official has met Mr. Gu, the lower official has something to ask Mr. Gu, and the attendant is handing over the post. It's a coincidence that he saw Mr. Gu." Shen Du said as he stepped forward.

"Master Shen is very polite, please come in, please come in." Gu Zhan said this, invited Shen Du into Gu's house, and led him to the study.

Shen Du works in Zhongshu Province, although the official offices of Zhongshu Sheng and Shangshu Sheng are far apart, but when they meet outside Zichen Hall, Shen Du doesn't need to bother handing over the post.

Shen Du came to him, it must be for personal matters, why is it so urgent?After he finished listening to Shen Du's words, he gasped for breath immediately, and asked almost out of composure: "What? The person who was ambushed and killed on Kongcui Mountain was a dead man from Duke Cheng's mansion?!"

He never expected that what Shen Du told him was the ambush in Kongcui Mountain, and the identities of those killers had already been found out.This happened at the beginning of March last year. Although it was a long time ago, Gu Zhan still remembers it clearly!
Because he was thinking all the time, who was the sworn enemy of the Gu family, who was the traitor of the Gu family, and who was going to cut off the blood of the Gu family...it turned out to be the Duke of Cheng's mansion!The Gu family has never had any enmity with the Duke of Cheng, so how could it be the Duke of Cheng?

Shen Du nodded, and his tone was very certain: "This is absolutely true! Now the Huben army is investigating, please forgive me for not being able to reveal more clues. It was because the Gu family was involved in the murder of Kongcui Mountain. The lower officials made an exception to say this, and please keep it a secret, Mr. Gu.”

This news shocked Gu Zhan so much, it was almost the same as the shock at Si Tiantai. He pondered for a long time, not knowing how to respond to Shen Du.

Shen Du took a look at Gu Zhan, feeling that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was not as capable as usual, and seemed to be strongly stimulated, with a look of great grief.
"The lower officials don't understand why. Mr. Gu has never had any rifts with Cheng Guogong's mansion or the third prince's mansion. This ambush seems to have nothing to do with political affairs. As for personal enmity, please think carefully about Mr. Gu. You may ask about this matter." Lord Gu, the prime minister in the palace." Shen Du said, mentioning Gu Chongting.
"Why do you want to ask him?" Gu Zhan followed the words, and suddenly a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and goose bumps suddenly appeared on his arms.
"Master Cheng in the palace has a very close personal relationship with the staff of Cheng Guogong's mansion. I have met them several times in the restaurant. I don't know if it is possible to find out a little bit..." Shen Du's point is enough, and the rest is for Gu Zhan to imagine. .

What he said was false, Ru Nian, Chen Wei and others did see Gu Chongting and Li Chu get together, as to why they said it at this time, of course there was a reason.

Gu Zhan's face was completely dark.
