Chapter 135: The Royal Family

The man behind the scenes is old-fashioned, and Gu Qing has done it too many times in his previous life.

When a fist is inferior to a human being, the best way to attack behind the scenes is, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, you cannot leave a handle or expose the stuff. Once the opponent finds the real murderer, the outcome will be no ordinary miserable.

So Gu Qing kicked the man off Qu Jiangchi and turned around and ran away, while holding his head, for fear that someone would recognize his appearance.

The man who fell into the water was still thrusting hard in the water, and was caught off guard and kicked into Qujiangchi. He had never encountered such a despicable thing in his life. Because he was too accidental, he was completely unprepared. He struggled constantly after falling into the water, and was flaring and shouting for help. He didn't know how much water he poured into his stomach.

Gu Qing ran very fast, and his figure rose and fell a few times and rushed into the grass where Zhang Huaijin was squatting, and half lay on the ground and gasped.

Zhang Huaijin was both shocked and happy. She didn't expect Gu Qing to dare to play like this, which was so exciting.

"So awesome! So relieved, hahaha!"

Gu Qing pointed at her: "Speak quietly, don't be heard, help me up quickly, let's leave here immediately."

Zhang Huaijin hurriedly helped him up, and the two of them walked through the dense grass with their waists, sneaking like Japanese men entering the village to steal landmines.

After walking around the grass and bushes, they were already far from Qujiang Pool when they walked out. Not far away was Ziyun Tower. The two looked at each other and found that they were covered with grass clippings, like wild mandarin ducks that had just rolled over the valley in the countryside. The two looked at each other and sorted out each other for each other.

Only then did Zhang Huaijin dare to speak, and patted Gu Qing's arm hard and laughed: "It's so fun! I should punish the bad guys like this, but unfortunately I only kicked him into the water, and I should have a knife."

Gu Qing dodged her slap and warned: "I agreed, brothers should not touch each other, stop!"

Zhang Huaijin stopped and kept laughing, then suddenly stopped smiling, staring at him with a smile.

"Looking at your familiarity with the movements just now, you must have done such bad things often, right? You are not a good person either."

Gu Qing said dissatisfiedly: "I figured it out, you were going to teach him a lesson just now. I was just helping you, but now you bit me back and your conscience was eaten by the dog?"

Zhang Huaijin smiled and said, "This time it is considered to be a way to help the weak, not a bad thing, so I won't be an example!"

Capricious and double standards, Zhang Huaijin is indeed the woman among women.

Worried about the incident, the two of them were struggling near Ziyun Tower for a long time. They saw countless courtiers and female relatives entering in front of Ziyun Tower from afar. Seeing that it was the sky that Yang Guifei was about to start a banquet, they then sorted out and walked towards Ziyun Tower with calm expressions.

"Remember to be more natural in expression. The person who fell into the water just now is likely to appear at the banquet of the imperial concubine. We cannot show guilt. If we see the clues, we will die." Gu Qing kept a smile on his face and told Zhang Huaijin.

Zhang Huaijin looked around nervously and said nervously: "What if that person recognizes us? What if someone saw you kicking someone just now?"

"Naturally! I observed before kicking someone. There was no one near the pavilion. The man turned his back to me and was caught off guard. Then I turned around and ran away. The man could not see my face. As for you, it would be even more okay. You squatted in the grass and never moved."

Zhang Huaijin was still nervous, but for some reason, something called "stimulation" rushed in her blood, and she felt both fear and excitement.

"I want to do it. If someone recognizes it, don't admit it, I'll take it." Zhang Huaijin said loyally. When he said this, his pretty face was full of tragedy, like Jing Ke by the Yishui River.

Gu Qing laughed: "Just kicked it, it won't be so easy."

The two came to the front of Ziyun Tower. The eunuch at the door knew Gu Qing and Zhang Huaijin. After all, Zhang Jiuzhang was a minister of the Honglu Temple, and the children of ministerial-level cadres were not unfamiliar with eunuchs, so the eunuch led the two in.

There are already many court officials and female relatives in the building, surrounded by short-legged tables, and various tableware and wine cups are placed on each table.

The eunuch was about to lead Zhang Huaijin to sit in the crowd of female relatives, but Zhang Huaijin hesitated for a moment, refused, and asked to sit with Gu Qing.

So the two found an inconspicuous remote corner, sitting next to each other with a table.

As soon as I sat down, I saw a noise in the main seat. A man in a purple regular dress was standing in front of Yang Guifei, stamping his feet with a look of shock and anger.

"Imperial Concubine, I beg the Yulin Guard to investigate thoroughly near Qujiangchi! The thief was determined to be near Qujiangchi. I was plotted against for no reason. This matter cannot be done well!" The man shouted in anger.

The man looked very embarrassed. He was obviously just caught from the water. There were a few aquatic plants on his head. His soaked clothes were tightly pressed against his body, revealing his big round belly, which was particularly ridiculous.

Many courtiers and female relatives here turned their heads and covered their mouths and smiled quietly.

Zhang Huaijin in the corner suddenly looked unnatural, and she looked at Gu Qing with fearful eyes.

Gu Qing looked calm, and his attention was on the short table in front of him. He picked up the exquisite cups and chopsticks one by one to look at it. While praising the royal products, he said lightly: "Don't be afraid, be natural, be natural, this matter has nothing to do with us. Why do you feel guilty? We did nothing and saw nothing."

Zhang Huaijin tried hard to suppress her emotions, took deep breaths, and then muttered something in her mouth, as if she was hypnotizing herself.

The accusation of the man in purple was effective. Concubine Yang immediately ordered the Yulinwei to search near where he fell into the water. A general bowed and clasped his fists to Concubine Yang from afar outside the building, and then pointed all his troops and left with murderous aura.

Zhang Huaijin became nervous again.

Gu Qing said dissatisfiedly: "I will never call you if you do bad things in the future. I am such a pig teammate. I will be killed by you sooner or later."

Zhang Huaijin immediately forgot his nervousness and stared at him hard: "I'm just a little nervous, and I haven't exposed it. I've caused trouble before, but I've never caused such a big disaster. Can't they be afraid?"

Gu Qing blinked and smiled, "Apart from the nervousness and fear, do you feel a little stimulation? Besides, we just practiced the law for heaven and punished bad people. Shouldn't we be happy?"

Zhang Huaijin's mood slowly calmed down and she was no longer so nervous.

The man in purple was taken down by the eunuch to change his clothes. A team of palace maids walked out of the building and served each of them exquisite dishes and wine. The short-legged table in front of Gu Qing was soon filled with wine and food.

Concubine Yang raised her glasses to everyone, and said a few toasts such as the Holy Emperor's health and the Tang Dynasty's country for generations. Everyone held the glasses in their hands and drank them together. After they sat down, they all started to eat and drink. At this time, Kabuki also appeared and began to dance in the center of the hall.

At this time, the man who fell into the water also changed into new clean clothes. After entering the building, he saluted Concubine Yang and sat down under the eunuchs.

Gu Qing narrowed his eyes and found that the table where the man sat was very close to Yang Guifei.

At the royal feast of the Tang Dynasty, the seating order is particular. A small person like Gu Qing sits in the corner and no one cares about it, but the closer the person is to the core of the banquet, the more powerful hegemony is, he must be an extraordinary person.

Gu Qing frowned secretly. Who was the person who kicked it just now?

Turning his head to ask Zhang Huaijin, Zhang Huaijin put his neck up and observed for a while, shook his head: "It's too far away to see clearly."

Then he said nervously: "I won't recognize us, are you?"

Gu Qing stuttered sarcastically, saying that this psychological quality will basically say goodbye to do bad things in the future.

Gu Qing had a strong psychological quality. He followed everyone calmly toasted his glasses and ate and drank together. Seeing his calm expression, Zhang Huaijin even had an illusion that he must have been a nightmare just now, but in fact, the two of them really did nothing.

The man who fell into the water calmed down after changing his clothes. After all, he was a big shot and he still needed to have such a cunning. So he frequently toasted Yang Guifei with his usual expression and chatted with the courtiers at the next table.

Yang Guifei seemed to have a close relationship with him. While enjoying singing and dancing, she turned her head and chatted with him. Later, she didn't know what she said, Yang Guifei suddenly stood up and looked around the crowd. Finally, she found Gu Qing hiding in the corner. Gu Qing was whispering with Zhang Huaijin. Yang Guifei's eyes showed a look of interest. She looked at the expressions of the two quietly for a while and waved to the eunuch beside her to invite Gu Qing to approach.

Gu Qing, confused, stood up, and under the eyes of countless people, walked to Yang Guifei's table and honestly gave the ceremony.

Concubine Yang pointed at Gu Qing and smiled at the man who fell into the water, "This is the little fellow townsman mentioned to you by the palace. He is also from Shuzhou. You should take good care of him in the court in the future."

Gu Qing's eyelids twitched violently when he heard this, but the man who fell into the water laughed at Gu Qing and said, "I heard that Gu Qing's name was a straightforward person. He knocked Roh Hyun's eldest son unconscious with three punches. It's interesting."

Concubine Yang glanced at him lightly and said unhappily: "Brother, be careful of your words. I have warned you many times. Don't talk nonsense. Be a scheming official. If your words are spread, you will definitely make enemies again."

The man hurriedly bowed: "I will remember the words of the Empress, and I will not commit them again in the future."

Concubine Yang smiled at Gu Qing and said, "Gu Qing, this is the elder brother of this palace, named Yang Zhao, the official position of the Censor, the Minister of the Taifu, the Minister of the Ministry of Culture, and..."

Yang Guifei sighed distressedly: "I can't remember how many official positions he has served, there are more than ten in total?"

The man hurriedly smiled and said, "Everyone is favored by the emperor, I will not let down the emperor's grace. Also, I have said many times that at the end of last year, I thought that the word "Zhao" in the name with a knife on the golden side is ominous. The emperor has given me the name "Guozhong", and now I am called "Yang Guozhong".

A cold sweat broke out from Gu Qing's back.

Although his psychological quality is strong, he never expected that the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty would be kicked into Qujiangchi by himself. This joke is a bit big. If he knew that he was the real murderer, he would probably have to hang a couplet of "died young" at his funeral.
