Gu Zuo didn't go anywhere, even people from Duqiao Sect and Su Xian Guan came. He just met him, talked briefly for a while, and then asked the butcher and Taoist Priest Yuan to accompany him.

He is very busy now, busy with his own practice. He mainly spends the seven and a half hours from the evening to the next morning, trying to absorb one spiritual stone every day. The remaining time is occupied by more and more frequent cases.

occupied.

These cases include: bribing mining monks with large sums of money, stealing spiritual stones by cooperating inside and outside, stealing from the auction house in Nanwu Prefecture, robbing merchants and travelers, and even killing people and stealing goods in southern Xinjiang.

One of the things that has been causing him so much trouble recently is a private war that broke out between two small sects in Yongzhou and Wu'an Prefecture. The Fuhu Sect in Yongzhou was wiped out by the Shenying Sect in Wuan Prefecture, and the Shenying Sect itself also suffered heavy losses.

, there are only six people left. In this major case, a total of forty-five people from the two sects died, and the initial cause was just a conflict between the young disciples of the two families over six spiritual stones.

.

The Wu'an Prefecture Justice Division performed their duties perfectly, arresting all six remaining members of the Shenying Sect, and none of them escaped. After the case was reported to the Southern Wu Prefecture Justice Division, the entire Justice Division was shocked. Such heavy casualties were unworthy of mention.

He was said to be number one in the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. Of course, it didn’t take long for them to learn later that he was not number one. There were even greater tragedies happening in Zhongyuan Prefecture and County.

After Liu Xuanji discussed with Lu Ban, Yin Shu and Qinggu, they could not make a decision and had to come to Gu Zuo. But there was no right or wrong in this case. If there was a mistake, it was Lingshi's fault.

Both of these two sects have not received a spiritual stone for several months. Needless to say, the Fuhu sect was wiped out. There are only six members of the Shenying sect left. Should they all be beheaded?

In the end, Gu Zuo could not come to a conclusion and could only order the cancellation of the tickets of the two sects. All the six surviving members of the Shenying Sect were sent to serve in the mines of the Nanwu Mountain Lingshi Mine. The same is true for when the service ends.

No ruling.

According to statistics from the Department of Justice, since this year, various fires, murders and other cases reported in the two imperial edicts and eight states have resulted in the death of hundreds of monks. More than 60 monks were locked up and then thrown into Lingshi mines, Geng gold mines, etc.

Mine.

At first, Gu Zuo was very nervous, but later, especially when he learned about the situation of Luofu Sect, Lishui Sect and Tang Sect, he gradually became numb - compared with these three families, Huaixian

It can be considered a "promised land" under Guan's rule.

These days, Gu Zuo would often look to the north involuntarily, and kept asking in his heart: "Li Mi, is this the result you want?"

Of course, Gu Zuo couldn't wait for the answer from Chongxuan Bureau, but he waited for Taoist Priest Lingyuan's repeated lobbying. Chongxuan Bureau wanted to recruit seven "young heroes" from Nanwu Prefecture, and four of them finally chose to become Chongxuan Bureau

Of the Taoist priests, only three of them refused. These three were the head of Qingyuan County, Luo Jun and Qinggu.

Taoist Priest Lingyuan was very ashamed of this, and he explained to Gu Zuo that this was not his original intention. Of course, Gu Zuo knew that this was not Taoist Lingyuan's original intention, and he could only accept it with a wry smile.

At the beginning of November, Yuan Zai came to Nanwu Prefecture and conveyed to Gu Zuo the news that Li Zhai envoy had learned.

"Didn't you ask me last time, what does your Majesty need so much money for?"

"How? Do you have an answer?"

Yuan Zai said: "I dare not say that I have the answer, but Li Zhaizhi did find out some rumors. Your Majesty seems to be practicing talisman on Penglai Immortal Mountain in Taiye Pool. This kind of talisman is very weird and requires offering incense.

money."

Gu Zuo asked curiously: "What kind of talisman? What is its use?"

Yuan Zai shook his head: "We also want to know, sir, don't you plan to divine something?"

Gu Zuo forcefully explained: "After all, he is the emperor, how dare he make mistakes? If the dragon energy is close to the body, not only will it be impossible to calculate, but too much calculation will also shorten your life."

Li Zhaishi didn't know what kind of talisman the emperor practiced, so Yuan Zai couldn't answer. After Gu Zuo asked Taoist Priest Lingyuan, Taoist Lingyuan also couldn't think of any talisman in the world that required such a huge amount of dedication.

of incense money.

Obviously, Yuan Zai's status among the princelings has risen. Now when he was talking to Gu Zuo, he had begun to directly paraphrase the prince's words: "The prince said, as Mr. expected, the rebellion in Hebei is right around the corner. The prince would like to ask a question.

I asked you, sir, if something happened to Chang'an, would you raise a flag to respond? Or even lead troops north?"

Yuan Zai asked this question, which shows that the prince has turned from hiding behind the scenes to stepping onto the front stage. He is already impatient. Also, anyone who encounters such a prodigal "father" will be impatient. No one wants to risk his own life.

The inheritance of the family property was ruined by his father. At the same time, it also shows that the prince's power is growing day by day, and he has strong strength and can compete with the emperor.

So Gu Zuo asked: "Has Chen Xuanli been persuaded by the prince? Is Long Wujun willing to support the prince?"

Yuan Zai was stunned for a long time, and then he seemed to wake up from a dream, and said with a wry smile: "Although I know that Chang Shi can make calculations, but he actually did this. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be unbelievable. Then, sir, would support the prince?"

Really? I remember you said before that the prince will be enthroned in a great treasure."

Gu Zuo was silent for a moment and said: "Of course I am willing to support the crown prince, but I hope that the crown prince can be more proactive and not wait for An Lushan to raise a rebel flag and rush into Chang'an. The lives are ruined and the bones are thousands of miles away. I can't bear this scene.

Witness that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will come to an end due to this."

Yuan Zai said with emotion: "Sir, I will tell the prince of your compassion." Then he sighed: "It's just that it's difficult..."

Gu Zuodao: "Of course I know that this matter is extremely difficult, but it depends on people. I will go to Zhongnan Mountain again and persuade the Chongxuan Office not to sit back and watch Anlu Mountain bring disaster to the world."

Yuan Zai said: "To be honest, sir, the prince also asked to pay homage to Xuan Shu, but unfortunately the Taoist priests ignored him."

Gu Zuodao: "If you really ignore it, I will contact all the sects to send troops together. Fan Yang and Baiyun sect are just three Lianxu sects? We are not afraid! The problem at hand has to fall on the crown prince. Forgive Gu's blunt words, today

The emperor is in the dark, and his behavior is no longer the image of a human king. The world has been waiting for the prince for a long time. As long as the prince is in the right position and the edict is issued, all the sects will respond."

Yuan Zai also let go and said: "If the prince gives a military remonstrance, I am afraid that the world will not accept it. This is the prince's biggest concern. How can we unite to respond?"

Gu Zuo said: "At least in the southwest, there are tens of thousands of powerful soldiers who can be relied upon by the prince."

Yuan Zai said again: "Hexi was granted the title of Changqing, Tongguan Gaoxianzhi, and Guan Neige Shuhan are all loyal to Your Majesty. How should we deal with them?"

Gu Zuodao: "Feng, Gao Jun is outside the customs. As for Ge Shuhan, he needs to be transferred out of the capital, or he can go out to Luoyang. In the political affairs hall, isn't Wei Jiansu a member of the prince? Let him think of a way."

Yuan Zai sighed: "What else can be hidden from the master's eyes? I will return to the capital immediately and urge the prince..."

Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the courtyard, and the master rushed in in a panic, without even knocking on the door. When he came in, he stumbled and barely managed to fall.
