Chapter 362 A New Officer Takes Up His Post

If it was in the past, Court Lady Gu would never have any doubts about Gusu Liang, but the blood jade that Gu Linjiang had mentioned, was it still in Shen Qianshan's possession? If so, would Shen Qianshan be in any danger after returning to Kyoto?

Gu Huai'an forced, or to go to the appointment, this Ministry of Rites Secretary looks like the officialdom of the old oil, Gu Huai'an was to come has been converged on their own behavior, do not want to make a big deal of things do not end well, but only just a time to enter the door, was to come to a downward spiral.

"A new Squire? Come on, go home and pack up your things now, just in time for a new assignment, you'll follow to Zhenzhou."

Although Gu Huai'an knew that his days would definitely not be that good if he was suddenly placed into this place, he did not expect that he would be ordered to go to Zhenzhou just after stepping through this door.

"Your Excellency, my humble servant did not understand what you meant; today is my first day in office, and I have not yet familiarized myself with the affairs at hand, so why should I be sent to Zhenzhou?"

The Minister of Rites, who was sitting lazily, didn't seem to expect Gu Huai'an to ask a counter-question, and sat up slightly straighter, "There's no why, you at least stayed in Kyoto, haven't you heard that there's a big drought in Zhenzhou during this time, and that the imperial court sent people to provide relief, so is there anything wrong with that?"

Gu Huai'an hadn't been treated like this since he left home, but at this time he still clenched his fists and endured, "There's no problem, but disaster relief has always been a matter for the Ministry of Households, and if my humble servant remembers correctly, the position that the Emperor has conferred upon me is that of Minister of Rites, so wouldn't it be nosy of me if I did so?"

"Meddling? Which thing is nosy in this court? If you can do it, just grab and pack up and go, if you can't do it, I'll naturally change someone else to do it, it's just that you're bumping into your superior on this first day of your term, if it spreads to the Emperor's ears, I'm afraid that your days won't be too good either."

The Minister of Rites said these words, the meaning has been very clear, today he came over to give Gu Huai'an a downward spiral, Gu Huai'an is not to show off the people, naturally, will not be with his general understanding.

In addition, he was originally a years ago, Shen Zhongbai, he did his own Minister of Rites, the reason is really a bit far-fetched, he can not bump into him, so as not to make too much of a fuss, in vain, other things.

"Since it is a directive given by Lord Shangshu, my subordinate will definitely follow it, only that my subordinate is taking office on the first day today, and I don't know too much about these things, so I don't even know what exactly I should do next yet."

"The Ministry of Households will also send a Lord Squire forward, and all you have to do is just look at the condition of the victims, report back as such, and cooperate with the Minister of Households to accomplish these things."

This Minister of the Household Department did not make things too difficult for Gu Huai'an, and by the looks of it, he should have been influenced by Gu Linjiang's intention of wanting to send himself out to Kyoto first, so that he would not have to stand on one side of the fence with Shen Zhongbai.

Gu Linjiang is quite interesting, he failed to get himself hooked yesterday with the bitter meat trick, today he simply directly expelled himself from the capital, once he left the capital, there is no more concern that he will help Shen Zhongbai, the old fox deserves to be an old fox.

"Then my humble servant will take his leave first and go back to packing."

Being the thing, is indeed Shen Zhongbai, asked to arrange as soon as possible, but never thought of their own anxious in turn let the Ministry of Rites caught this empty, Yang Feng Yinwei, to their own just arranged the Ministry of Rites, sent to the disaster relief, but also really powerful, not necessarily, picking the thing is their own early morning when the command to deal with as soon as possible, and now they can't say that the arrangement of the people can't, but it is for Shen Zhongbai to add more! Note that this Minister of Rites, is Gu Linjiang arranged early, has been hiding so deep, today is so easily exposed.

"What? Zhenzhou!" Court Lady Gu obviously couldn't believe her ears, originally thinking that, on her brother's first day on the job today, he might have received some unfair treatment because of Gu Linjiang's attitude, but she didn't expect that Gu Linjiang would directly send her brother to Zhenzhou.

Although Zhenzhou is not far away, but everyone knows that disaster relief is a hard job, with a large amount of food and gold and silver on the road, if it is exploited by the evil villain, during the period of being calculated, it is likely to directly send the life of the Gu Huai'an kind heart, nothing will not take the initiative to suspect others, the Gu court ladies will naturally be worried.

Gu Huai'an although these things are very helpless, but for a moment there is no other solution, since they have done this official, even if the disaster relief is considered a dangerous errand, they can not be excused, "But in the end, after all, it is also considered to be a good thing to create blessings and virtues, as long as this journey is careful, not to be exploited, and other things I don't care too much about it. "

Zhenzhou drought, after the disaster, there are really a lot of people displaced, Gu Qiang and Gusu Liang recent period of time, at most, can only relief Kyoto around the victims of the disaster, but far from saving Zhenzhou.

"Then why don't I go with you?" Court Lady Gu had also recently felt that there were more and more victims on the streets, the disaster definitely didn't happen in a day or two, and perhaps it was because it had become impossible to keep it down that the local officials had reported the matter.

"How is this going to work? Do you think I'm going for fun?" It was clear that he already knew that the journey might be difficult, and that he would even be plotted against by villains, so it was even more unlikely that Gu Huai'an would allow his sister to travel with him.

Gu Qiangcheng flattened her mouth, after all, her brother is still a bit simple-minded, never know how to beware of others, not to mention that among the people accompanying her, there is no certainty that any one of them is harboring the idea of framing him, and she can't allow her brother to take this risk.

Gusu Liang seemed to see what was on Court Lady Gu's mind and patted her on the shoulder, "Since Huai'an won't let you follow him, you shouldn't; if you follow him along, he'll have to be distracted to take care of you."

"But there are a lot of things I can help my brother to get ideas ah, what will be encountered along the way, no one can say, I also for ..."

"Well, without further ado, it's decided, I guess I'll have to get up and depart tonight, I'll be back as soon as I can, and you guys take care of yourselves in Kyoto."

Gu court officials were blocked speech, but they do this, but also for the good of the brother, Gu Linjiang even his own daughter can be used to take advantage of all kinds of things, I am afraid that he, the son, can not escape the clutches of the devil.

Gu Huai'an went back to pack his own luggage and prepared to go on the road, but Court Lady Gu was always frowning, Gusu Liang saw her like this and knew that she was actually worried about her brother, "Why don't you hurry back and pack your luggage? Let Chasing Cloud mix in with you in the entourage, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with them if I'm late."

Gusu Liang's face was actually not very good, putting aside what happened before, he always felt that Gu Linjiang, because the Gusu family stood on Shen Zhongbai's side, seemed to be about to start laying hands on them, chasing the wind and chasing the clouds both came back in the past few days and said that there were people stalking his brother's store, and even Listening Pavilion was already being stalked to death.

Gusu Liang does not know what will happen next, so also want to first support Gu Qiang away, he still have to wait and see for a while, can not let Gu Qiang and his own risk, originally thought, Gu Qiang can first live in the Nine Kings Mansion for a while, and now Gu Huai'an want to go out of the city, for a moment should not be able to come back, the best way, is to let Gu Qiang go out together with him.

"Master, a few were dealt with, but there are still a lot of people waiting for him, we are afraid that if we make another move, someone will be suspicious." Chasing the wind had just come back not long ago, when he discovered the strange situation in the middle of Kyoto, not only did these people move strangely, but they were also huge in number, it was simply not something that a few of them could deal with.

Gushu Ryou sighed, "How are the hands?"

"It's very bad, it should be just an ordinary houseboy, master, what Chasing Wind is afraid of now is that, although all the people in the Listening Pavilion have been changed, will there be others who have been planted ..."

Chasing the wind did not dare to continue, the last time the matter is still fresh in my mind, Gusu Liang on the listening pavilion inside the people are also more at ease, I am afraid that some people are the beginning of the arranged in the side of Gusu Liang, if it really move, it would be bad.

"No matter what, in these few days you all give me more vigilance, if once you find anything wrong, immediately come to me." Gusu Liang was originally just a businessman, even if he knew some martial arts, it didn't mean that he could keep a lot of guards who knew martial arts by his side, this if they really started a fight, the other party would win with fewer and more, he would almost have no chance of winning.

After Court Lady Gu packed her bags, Gusu Liang didn't stay idle either, finding a young man with a body similar to Court Lady Gu's and wearing a human/skin/mask, so as long as he didn't speak, there was still no breakage.

"Then what should I do if Shen Zhongbai summons me?" Although Court Lady Gu had already prepared herself, she was a bit flustered, after all, Shen Zhongbai was not an ordinary person, even if she had a similar body shape to herself and an identical face, she might not be able to fool Shen Zhongbai.

Gusu Liang shook his fan, "Don't worry, during the time you're gone, I'll declare to the public that you're sick, I see that in general condition, Shen Zhongbai won't let you enter the palace, if Shen Shiyin comes over again, with me there, I should be able to put it off as well."

Gu Qiang's court has always been assured of Gusu Liang, thinking about her previous mistrust, and looking at Gusu Liang who is now full of gentle smiles, she inevitably feels guilty in her heart, "Ah Liang, you have to take care of yourself alone, we will definitely come back as soon as possible."

"It's okay, don't worry."

The two of them, Court Lady Gu and Chasing Cloud, sneaked into the group, disguised as two ordinary soldiers. Court Lady Gu thought that if someone really wanted to make a move on Gu Huai'an, they would definitely send someone to secretly mess up the situation, and this brother of his, who didn't know to take precautions, had never even opened the box to check what was inside.
