Yang Guozhong is friendly and friendly to Gu Qing. Putting aside the personal reasons why he really appreciates Gu Qing, most of them are for the sake of Yang Guifei's face. The identity of the concubine's fellow townsman is more worthy of Yang Guozhong's attention than the third-rank official, because Yang Guozhong made his fortune because of Yang Guifei, the fellow townsman he valued by the concubine. How dare Yang Guozhong not pay attention to it?

Since he was valued, Gu Qing volunteered to investigate the murderer who plotted against Yang Guozhong, but Yang Guozhong did not agree.

The bigger the official position, the more complicated the problem is. Even if he is the emperor's brother-in-law, there will inevitably be many political enemies in the court. Yang Guozhong never thought that someone would kick him into Qujiangchi was because someone had a temporary idea. He had no plans in advance and no conspiracy behind him. He was just disliked by him.

As the popular seed player of the next prime minister, how could Yang Guozhong have thought that someone was so bored?

So his first thought after being kicked into the water was that this was a victim of a political enemy. The envoy behind the scenes must be someone who had been fighting with him openly and secretly for a long time. He even quickly locked in several political enemies.

Gu Qing, a small eighth-rank recorder, wants to investigate the murderer, how can he find out? What can he find?

However, in front of Yang Guifei, Yang Guozhong agreed politely.

The young man didn't know that the world was high and the earth was strong. If he wanted to investigate, he would go to investigate. Anyway, Yang Guozhong would not give any hope.

Zhang Huaijin stood beside Gu Qing, shaking by Gu Qing's slutty action.

She was considering washing her hair after going home and brainwashing her brainwashing. Gu Qing opened the door to a new world of human nature for her. She had never seen anyone shouting to catch the thief so righteously and hardworkingly, and in the end she even volunteered to catch herself...

I feel like this second brother is crazy, and he beats him when he gets crazy.

The banquet of singing and dancing to peace came to an end. Concubine Yang left first, and the ministers stood up to pay respectfully.

Yang Guozhong and Gu Qing made an appointment to meet again in private and each said goodbye and left.

Gu Qing had a low official position and stayed until the last group before leaving. Zhang Huaijin accompanied him until the last.

It was already dark when you left Qujiangchi. Gu Qing first sent Zhang Huaijin home. Zhang Huaijin looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. Then he exclaimed: "Second brother is so amazing! You kicked Yang Taifu into Qujiangchi, and you actually had the courage to volunteer to help him investigate the murderer... Second brother, what do you think?"

Gu Qing said seriously: "First of all, you need to hypnotize yourself. Close your eyes and recite in your heart ten times, 'It's not me', 'It's not me'. When you open your eyes, your mind will tell you that it's not you who did it. At this time, I am an innocent person. Since I am innocent, I have nothing to do with me, why can't I volunteer for you? It is the obligation of our subordinates to help Yang Taifu arrest the murderer who killed him."

Zhang Huaijin's three views were shocked again, and he tried his best to suppress it.

"That's fine?"

"Can you see it yourself? Did Yang Guozhong doubt me? Have I revealed any flaws? Are you unhappy to chat with him just now?"

Zhang Huaijin said speechlessly: "You... are so shameless. I have never seen someone as shameless as you, but you are shameless and righteous."

Gu Qing smiled: "I think I'm shameless? You can go to the Yang Mansion to surrender voluntarily. This is your idea. You are the mastermind, and I am just an accomplice."

Zhang Huaijin shook his head quickly: "I don't!"

"So, don't be too hypocritical. There is evil in human nature. I'll admit it quickly. It's much better than those who say benevolence, righteousness and morality, and those who secretly thieves and prostitutes. I'm a bad person. These four words are clearly written on the face, and they are so bad that they are so open and honest. If such a person lives to the end, the world may be more respectful to him."

Zhang Huaijin couldn't help but become a gangster: "Since you admit that you are a bad person, why don't you take the initiative to tell Yang Taifu that you kicked him into the water?"

"Dear, it's not recommended here. Bad people are just bad, not stupid."

"You just volunteered to investigate the murderer. Isn't it unnecessary? People don't doubt you at all, so why did you take the initiative to cause trouble?"

Gu Qing said softly: "Third brother, go home to sleep obediently. With your IQ, it is probably difficult to explain this to you clearly."

Zhang Huaijin was very dissatisfied, especially hated Gu Qing's tone of her as an ignorant child.

So Zhang Huaijin suddenly hit Gu Qing's chest with his head, making Gu Qing's chest tight.

Gu Qing rubbed his chest and looked at her in shock: "Are you crazy? Don't your head hurt?"

"It hurts, but it relieves your anger!" Zhang Huaijin rubbed her head and said in pain.

Before he knew it, he walked to the door of Zhang's mansion and Gu Qing signaled her to go in.

Zhang Huaijin said goodbye to him, walked a few steps and then jumped back, whispering with a cute look on his face: "Don't tell anyone the secret of today."

After saying that, Zhang Huaijin jumped away again, and her jumping body seemed to have just taken her brother-in-law's sister-in-law.

…………

Gu Qing went back to his house alone, without planning to call a carriage. He wanted to take a walk alone, see the night view of Chang'an City, and sort out his thoughts.

It was not Gu Qing who volunteered to investigate the murderer that he was not causing trouble.

Yang Guozhong had no hope at all, and Gu Qing knew better that the murderer could not be caught. But this incident was the bond between Gu Qing and Yang Guozhong. With this bond, Gu Qing could continue the next plan.

According to Gu Qing's vague memory of history, if nothing unexpected happens, Prime Minister Li Linfu has no time left. He will either kick his legs this year or next year, and his successor is Yang Guozhong. The future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Gu Qing, naturally wants to make good relationships with him. He does not seek good relationships to the mountains and rivers, but at least he should use each other in a friendly and friendly way.

From a time perspective, Yang Guozhong can still be glorious for at least four or five years, and can use Yang Guozhong to do a lot of things in four or five years, and some layouts can be slowly spread out in Chang'an City.

You cannot reveal the true face of the traitor, but you can do something that the traitor will do secretly.

Back in my house, the two wing rooms in the middle courtyard were still on. The house was quite large, but there were no servants. The front yard was still under renovation and decoration stage, so there was no hurry to invite servants.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were not asleep, so Gu Qing stepped forward and slapped the door and called them out.

The two shopkeepers were still respectful and polite to Gu Qing, but the hostility between them seemed to have not been eliminated. They looked at each other with cold faces and snorted coldly.

Gu Qing was too lazy to care about the broken matters between them. His attitude towards the two shopkeepers was like raising Tibetan mastiffs. He threw them into the same pit and fought, and survived the fittest. Even if both sides cut each other with knives, it didn't matter. The one who was alive was the chosen son of nature, and he could use it with confidence.

"Get paper and pen, go quickly." Gu Qing hurriedly ordered and went straight into the backyard.

The two shopkeepers took the paper and pen, Hao Donglai helped Gu Qing polish the ink with a wink, and Shi Daxing lit a candlestick for Gu Qing and placed it on a corner of the table.

Gu Qing was about to write, and glanced at the candlestick, sighed and looked at Shi Daxing: "Light candles in the southwest corner, do you want to fight back? It's too dark to light a few more."

Shi Daxing went there in a hurry.

After lit three candlesticks on the desk, the light finally became much brighter. Gu Qing brushed his brush and made a mess of dragons flying and phoenix dancing.

Although Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were businessmen, they were also literate. After Gu Qing finished writing, they came forward to look. After identifying for a long time, they barely recognized what Gu Qing wrote.

"The word "Shaolangjun" is really... very casual, his words are as wild as his person, and he is unruly and has the style of an ancient sage." Hao Donglai praised with a thick face.

Shi Daxing's sense of morality and shame are obviously two levels higher than Hao Donglai. He can't say anything too ignorant of his conscience, so he can only smile and agree.

Hao Donglai praised the words, then looked at the content carefully, and slowly recited it word by word: "Shocked! The dynasty Yang Taifu was plotted against by the thief by the Qujiang Pool. Yang Taifu survived the trouble of falling into the water, but he showed a broad mind and said that there was no need to pursue it."

"This newspaper reported that on the fourth day of the eighth month of Tianbao, Empress Yang Guifei feasted the court officials at Ziyun Tower in Qujiangchi..."

Hao Donglai slowly finished reading the whole article, then raised his head in confusion and looked at Gu Qing: "Young man, this is..."

"Own a newspaper." Gu Qing said concisely.

The two shopkeepers were stunned and did not make a sound for a long time.

"Quickly ask, what is the 'newspaper'?" Gu Qing urged.

Hao Donglai bowed: "Young man, we know what newspapers are. They were originally called "Palace Gate Copy" as early as the Han Dynasty. It was called "Palace Gate Copy", which means that officials from all over the country sent people to stay in the capital to copy the imperial edicts and policies of the court and send them to the local area quickly. The speed of copying and transmitting news was much faster than the normal court issuance speed, so that local officials could have sufficient preparation time. Until this dynasty, there were still copying in the palace gate, but it was changed to the term, called "Palace Gate" or "Palace Gate".

Gu Qing said calmly: "What you are talking about is the official government orders and imperial edicts of the court, and what I want to do is interesting news, unofficial history and anecdotes. For example, what I just wrote about Yang Taifu being plotted to fall into the water, the imperial concubine entertained the ministers, etc., which belongs to the category of news and anecdotes, which makes ordinary scholars smile and talk about it as topics after dinner, and does not involve affairs such as government affairs in court..."

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing looked at each other, and the two looked hesitant.

"Is this... OK? Is Shaolangjun planning to discuss with court officials and folk celebrities?"

"Of course, if you want to write, write about people who are well-known in Chang'an City and are familiar with ordinary people, and only when writing about their news and anecdotes will it be welcomed."

Hao Donglai hesitated and said, "It's okay to write about famous folk scholars. If you write about court officials, whether it's ridiculed, fabricated or written based on facts, you may offend people? If you offend too many officials because of this, you will make enemies all over the court. How will your husband deal with it in the future?"

Gu Qing smiled and pointed to the paper with words in front of him, saying, "Do you know why I wrote Yang Taifu in the first article?"

The two shook their heads.
