Everyone in Guan Chong was in tears.

"Who else is there in the boss's family?" Qin Xiao asked.

Guan Chong said: "The boss has two sons and three daughters. They are all grown up and married. The three daughters are not in Kyoto. The eldest son is an official in Xichuan, and the second son Su Can is an official in Honglu Temple. He is the master Bo. The boss

His first wife died many years ago and he took a concubine, who is also nearly fifty years old."

"Did the Criminal Department arrest them?"

"Yes." Guan Chong said: "There are twenty-three servants in the Su Mansion. After the death of the old man, they were immediately arrested by the Ministry of Punishment and the mansion was also searched." His face was solemn and he said: "The old man is here.

The connections in the court are not deep. Even if there are connections, they are just asking for blessings at this time. No one dares to get involved with the Su family. Su Can's official position is humble, and no one will stand up for him, so... Therefore, the Su family is here

A great disaster is approaching, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get through it." At this point, he felt sad.

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

"Actually, the saint has approved Mr. Lao's resignation." Guan Chong said: "We were originally planning to hold a farewell party for Mr. Lao, and Mr. Lao also recommended Yun Shaoqing to the saint to replace the Minister of Dali Temple. But something happened suddenly in the Northeast.

The sage ordered Dali Temple to send officials to the Northeast to investigate the major case. The boss felt that Master Yun had a good relationship with the Duke and had outstanding talents, so he asked Master Yun to bring someone over. He was planning to wait for Master Yun to return to Beijing.

, the handover will be done again, who knows...!"

Qin Xiao knew in his heart that Yunlu would not have come here if he had not helped him win Xi. In this way, Su Yu should have left the capital before this accident. Although he may not be able to avoid the disaster, at least he should stay away from the capital.

Lu Junzhong couldn't find any trouble with Su Yu for a while.

"Is there any news about the princess?" Qin Xiaowei pondered and finally asked.

Everyone shook their heads, and Guan Chong said: "Since the princess returned to the capital from Jiangnan, there has been no news about her. However, this time the Ministry of Punishment set up a large prison in Kyoto. Although it is difficult for the Xiahou family's gang members to escape, there are also many among them.

It is the old department of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Those officials had always been the Princess's servants before. After there was no news about the Princess, the State Council mobilized a lot of the Princess's old department, but many of them still stayed in Kyoto, and some even defected to the Prime Minister. However, there were also

A few people are just hanging on...!" At this point, I felt that I had made a mistake. The relationship between the lord and the princess seemed to be very good. It seemed inappropriate to say that the princess's old team was just hanging on. Seeing Qin Xiao's expression did not change, he continued.

: "Among these people, some were also arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"So, Lu Junzhong attacked both the Prime Minister and the princess?"

"Yes." Guan Chong said: "The people in the Punishment Department are just a bunch of mad dogs. When they find an opportunity, they bite them randomly."

Qin Xiao thought for a while and then said: "You have worked hard all the way. Mr. Guan, you guys have a rest here for the night. I will send someone to take you back to Guangning tomorrow. Although the overall situation of many cases in western Liaoning has been decided, there are still some things that have not been concluded.

, you go to see Mr. Yun, and for the time being, follow Mr. Yun’s instructions. If anyone asks, just tell them that they were sent by Dali Temple to assist with the case. As for the family members, County Sheriff Bai will arrange them properly, so you don’t have to worry."

Several people thanked her profusely and expressed their gratitude.

Qin Xiao called people over and led a few people down to rest. "Are you ready to go back to Beijing?" After Guan Chong and others retreated, Gu Baiyi looked at Qin Xiao and asked.

He had been silent just now and seemed extremely calm.

Qin Xiao was startled, but he knew that Gu Baiyi was very intelligent and it was not surprising that he would step on his thoughts.

"Brother, Mr. Su has been kind to me." Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "If it weren't for me, Mr. Su might not have suffered such a disaster. I was too late to save him, but...if I knew his

A disaster is approaching for my family, but I just sit back and do nothing. I will never have peace of mind in my life."

Gu Baiyi sighed: "This is your temperament."

"I'm going to return to Beijing secretly." Qin Xiao looked at Gu Baiyi and said, "In addition to trying to save the old man's family, if possible, I want to secretly bring Sister Qiuniang to the Northeast." With a stern expression, he said softly: "

The saint originally left Sister Qiuniang in Kyoto because he wanted to use her as a hostage. But now Kyoto is in chaos, and Lu Junzhong's mad dog was extremely ferocious that day. He has a grudge against me, and I am worried that he will be harmful to Sister Qiuniang."

Gu Baiyi thought for a while and then asked: "What should Long Ruijun do?" He stared at Qin Xiao and said: "We have just gained a foothold, which can be considered a good start, but we are far from a firm foothold. We need to do something

There are still many things to do. If you leave Northeast China and return to Beijing at this time, Long Rui’s army will be leaderless, have you thought about the consequences?”

"There is an eldest son in Liaoxi and an eldest brother in Montenegro. You are all responsible for your own affairs. Even if I am not here, nothing will happen." Qin Xiao thought for a while and then said: "After I return to Beijing, I will get things done as soon as possible, and then quickly

return."

Gu Baiyi sighed: "What you said is right. There is Yu Wenlang in western Liaoning who will guard you. It should be no big deal. I can also take care of you here in Montenegro. There is no problem with this." After a pause, he said: "Find a reason.

You said that you are currently studying in seclusion or doing other things, and I can arrange these, but... what I am worried about is after you come to Beijing."

"Brother is worried that something will happen to me in Kyoto?"

"There is no absolute certainty in this world." Gu Baiyi said: "The current situation in Kyoto is chaotic, and you have no idea what is going on in the palace." After thinking for a moment, he said: "The capital now is a raging pit of fire.

If you are not careful, you will get burned."

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "I know."

"Then you should also know that if everything goes smoothly, what will happen if your whereabouts are exposed and people know that you are haunting the capital, or even... fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives?

Result?" Gu Baiyi sighed: "You led the troops out of the border according to the sage's will, and you can be regarded as a border general. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, whether you are a frontier official or a border general, without the sage's will, then

You must not leave your post without permission, let alone enter the capital without permission, otherwise it will be a crime of rebellion."

Qin Xiao looked solemn and nodded slightly.

"When that time comes, even if the saint wants to protect you, he may not be able to do it." Gu Baiyi said slowly: "Not to mention Lu Junzhong, the official in the capital who has a deep hatred for you, will definitely kill you. If the Liaodong Army

Knowing that you went to Beijing without permission, the consequences will be disastrous."

Qin Xiao remained silent.

What Gu Baiyi said is indeed true. Once his whereabouts are exposed after entering Beijing, he will definitely cause big trouble. At this time, entering Beijing is suspected of showing off his bravery.

"Don't make a decision in a hurry." Gu Baiyi sighed: "Think about it carefully and wait until dawn before making the final decision." He stood up, passed by Qin Xiao, and patted his shoulder gently.

The night is like water and everything is quiet.

Qin Xiao stood outside the big tent, looking up at the night sky, speechless all night.

Early the next morning, the military bugle sounded, and the soldiers in the camp got up early for morning exercises.

Qin Xiao was sitting in the tent at this time. He heard footsteps behind him, looked back and saw Gu Baiyi walking over.

"Less than fifty miles north of the capital, there is a small village, which is called Guojiacun." Gu Baiyi walked directly to Qin Xiao and sat down opposite him. He said straight to the point: "There is a private school in the village. The teacher's surname is also Guo, so everyone calls him Guo.

Master." He reached out and handed over a letter and said, "Don't rush to the capital. Go see him before entering the capital, give him this letter, and then follow his instructions in everything."

Qin Xiao was startled, took the letter, and said in surprise: "Brother, you...!"

"I know your temperament very well." Gu Baiyi sighed: "If you can really make a decision, you won't stay up all night. Staying up all night proves that you have been struggling in your heart. Since there is a struggle, then if I

If I try to persuade you not to return to the capital again, even if you agree, you will feel tortured in your heart." He smiled slightly and said, "When you were in the capital, you went to Qingyi Hall alone for your sister.

You blame yourself for Mr. Su's death. If his family is involved again and dies in the hands of Lu Junzhong, I'm afraid you will be uneasy for the rest of your life."

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "What I can do for his old man is to try my best to save his family."

"In addition, I'm afraid you also want to find out how the princess is doing now." Gu Baiyi looked at Qin Xiao, a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through Qin Xiao's heart, and smiled: "Here in the Northeast, the eldest son and I will try our best.

I will bear it for you. But you have to promise me that when you get to the capital, you must not act on impulse. Even if you want to take action, you must be completely sure. Anything that threatens your own safety must not be touched."

Qin Xiao nodded hurriedly and said: "Thank you for your concern, brother."

"I don't just care about you." Gu Baiyi sighed: "You know more about the life and death of many people in the Northeast now than I do." After thinking for a while, he said: "As long as you act cautiously in Beijing and do not expose your whereabouts,

The Liaodong Army must not have expected that you would leave at this time. They only thought that the Taihu Army was related to you. They would also think that you were behind the fight for control of the sea, so Wang Xingchao was again

You're so cunning, I didn't expect you to have gone to the capital."

Qin Xiao said: "Brother, after I leave, everything will be left to you."

"Go early and come back early." Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "Don't forget to go to Master Guo first and let him help you arrange matters for your trip to Beijing."

Qin Xiao nodded, knowing that Master Guo must have a deep connection with Zhiming Academy. Gu Baiyi was worried that he would be in danger after entering the capital, so he had already begun to use the power of the academy to protect himself. If this was the case, there was Zhiming behind him.
