MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 264 Inquire (below)

"My father said that the white-clothed flying man has always repaid his kindness and revenge. Although his brothers and sisters have the same friendship with him, they have to avenge his revenge, so even if he knows that this birthday banquet is a game, he will definitely Come back." Chen Zhu sighed, "He is alone, no matter how strong his martial arts are, he can't escape, so my father joined a few friends to support him."

  Li Baolu lowered her eyes and said nothing. Her master may have been like this before, but in the past few years, his mood has become more and more peaceful, and he no longer cares about the past. With her understanding of master, he would not come even if he knew about it.

   However, it is not certain whether Chen Zhu's father really helped her master, or was trying to fish in troubled waters by helping her master's name.

   Li Baolu glanced at the innocent Chen Zhu and said nothing.

  Chen Zhu didn't care, she continued to walk forward with her arms in her arms, and whispered, "My dad will definitely fight when he says it. He won't let me in. Is there any way you can sneak in?"

   "No, I didn't invite me either. If my family finds out, I will take me back."

  Chen Zhu was quite disappointed, and finally turned grief and anger into appetite and Li Baolu tasted the food in the whole street before giving up.

   If it wasn't for Ling Bi's appearance with a black line to carry the person back, Li Baolu felt that she might have dragged her to eat until the evening.

  Li Baolu touched her belly, exhaled a long breath, and walked back slowly.

  Ling Bi threw the little junior sister to the senior brother, made a random excuse to leave, and followed Li Baolu far away.

  Li Baolu slowly turned into an alley, Ling Bi waited for a while before following up, but found that when the alley looked to the end, there was no one there.

   She frowned and looked down, only to find that it was a dead end. She raised her eyes and looked at the houses on both sides. Could it be that they live in this residential house?

   But there is no door here…

  Ling Bi immediately knew that she had been tricked, her face was a little solemn, she was just trying to confirm the identity of the other party, but she didn't expect to find out unexpectedly.

   She is an old man, and she is very light and good. If the other party is not far superior to her or has more experience, she will never find her following.

   Considering Li Baolu's age, she shouldn't touch any of them, so she was deceived, it should be said that all of them were deceived.

  Ling Bi immediately turned around and went back. She had to ask her junior sister what she said to her today.

   And Li Baolu had already returned to the inn at this time. Because he ate too much hot food, Li Baolu poured three times the tea in a row before sitting comfortably on the chair, "Have you seen Sun Zhifu? How are others?"

"Wonderful and elegant, humble and generous," Gu Jingyun said with a sip of tea: "The first time we met, we just talked about family background and poetry, and it was impossible to make a deep friendship, but this Sun Zhifu has not been in office for a long time, only one year and two months. Er. He knew that I was here for the Qin family's property and gave me all the land deeds that had been sorted out. He said that the yamen had informed the tenants when the Holy Will came down that the lease term is only until this year, and the lease will not be renewed next year. ."

   "It went well."

   "Yes, after all, he has not been in office for a long time." There is no deep interest entanglement with the local, and Qin Xinfang is now a valuable person.

   "How's your news?"

Li Baolu repeated the words Chen Zhu said one by one, frowning and said, "I was very curious about Master's affairs when I was young, so I often asked, but Master did not like to mention things about the uncle and the aunt, I only know about the teacher. The sect is called Lingtian Sect. The most powerful thing is a set of top-quality internal energy and light energy. Before Shizu, each generation of Lingtian Sect had only one disciple, and that disciple was the head. Lingtian Sect also has its own ancestral property, but The number is very small and can only maintain basic survival. Their full-time job is to steal corrupt officials and tyrants. Except for 10% of their property, the rest must be returned to the people. If you don’t go out, you will keep it, and if you encounter natural and man-made disasters, you can also save it.”

"Among the major events of the past dynasties that Master has spoken, I remember the most profound thing about Emperor Ai's digging of the embankment." Li Baolu paused and said, "During the war in the previous dynasty, Emperor Ai instructed the soldiers to dig up the embankment of the Yellow River in order to prevent the rebels from pursuing, causing the farmland to be destroyed. , countless houses were flooded, and people suffered heavy casualties. At that time, the imperial yamen was useless, and it was impossible for the rebel army to provide food and grass to relieve the victims. Only the famous local gentry contacted businessmen and officials to carry out disaster relief, but the disaster area was wide and the money and food were not available. Tianmen took out a lot of money, and cooperated with all corners of the country to purchase a large amount of food, and escorted it from various places to the disaster area to help the victims, and this did not cause the disaster victims to cause more trouble."

   "So the fact that Master has a lot of money in his hands is probably true, and the uncle and aunt should not know where it is stored. As for the military book," Li Baolu shook her head slightly, "I have never heard Master mention it."

Gu Jingyun sat up straight and said with a serious face: "There is this passage in the historical materials of the previous dynasty and the history of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty. It is recorded in the above that the Ling clan in Shuzhong led the righteous people from all over the country to raise 480,000 taels of silver, 850,000 stones of grain, and seven medicinal materials. The car rescues the people, but I followed Tingxun when I was a child. At the age of eight, I recited the surnames of noble families in all parts of Chu. There is no Ling family in Shu. I asked Hanlin who wrote the history of the previous dynasty before, and he said that this matter has been done. For nearly two hundred years, all the historical documents left behind say that the leader of the year was the Ling family, so this Ling family does not refer to the surname and family identified, but refers to Lingtianmen?"

   "Lingtianmen is in Yazhou in the middle of Shu." Li Baolu said softly, "Master and his old man let us go back and have a look when we have time."

Gu Jingyun was silent for a long time, "Master may indeed have Zhang's military book," he said: "The matter of Zhang Boying is recorded in detail in the archives of Dali Temple. I have borrowed it. Immediately after the evidence was presented, Zhang Boying was impeached, and at the same time, the evidence was transferred to Dali Temple. Because the palace also received a copy, the late emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple officials to jointly conduct a thorough investigation in Datong Mansion."

"The late emperor turned a blind eye to many corrupt officials. Zhang Boying's reputation for accumulating wealth has long been known to all of Chu. The late emperor also knew that he was occupying land and robbing him, but as long as he didn't make trouble in front of him, he could not see it, Master. I don't know if it was intentional or by mistake, but he threw the letters between Zhang Boying and the Tartars into the palace," Gu Jingyun laughed sarcastically: "That person hated the Tartars the most in his life, and naturally he would not allow officials to collude with the Tartars. That's why a thorough investigation was ordered."

Gu Jingyun took a sip of tea. He did a lot of homework. His uncle, the Li family and Bai Yitang were all the people he wanted to find. Except for the case of the Li family, he had never read the case of his uncle and Bai Yitang. He has read it several times with the convenience of Li Shilu, and he has almost memorized it by heart, so he knows more than those outsiders.

  In Chen Zhu's opinion, Zhang Boying accidentally offended Bai Yitang, and Bai Yitang went to deal with him, but in Gu Jingyun's eyes, it was a completely different matter.

"The Zhang family can also be regarded as the founding father of the country, and the Zhang family is a nobleman, and its background is more profound than the Gu family, but in terms of credit, he is not enough to be named a marquis, but several generations of management, plus Zhang's prosperous descendants Twenty years ago, its power was not even weaker than that of Duke Wan of Dingguo." Gu Jingyun pointed at the table and said, "Zhang Boying is the direct son of the eldest house and the patriarch of the Zhang clan. He was the commander of Datong at that time and was a famous general who defended against the Tatars. One, he did not collude with the Tatar army to betray the country, and those letters were all documents of correspondence with the Tatar caravan."

  Li Baolu stared, "He's playing smuggling?"

Gu Jingyun nodded, "Smuggling Dachu's salt tea to Tatar, and then exchanging horses and medicinal materials with the merchants over there, he can make a lot of money every time he comes and goes, this person loves money, and he is almost plucking. Deducting the army's rations and taking empty salaries are all trivial things. The most vicious thing he has ever done is to occupy the fields, bring a team of cavalry to encircle the fields he likes, and force the owners of the fields to hand over the title deeds and turn around again. Lease the land to them, and if anyone refuses to obey, he instructs the soldiers to pretend to be Tatar soldiers to hit Caoguqing Village, or simply decapitate them as Tatars."

  Li Baolu was trembling with anger, "Is there no one in the court?"

Gu Jingyun sighed and said, "Yes, the imperial censor impeached him, and the late emperor also sent officials from Dali Temple to investigate, but the entire Datong Mansion was under his control, and it happened that the border was unstable, so the imperial court did not dare to take too much action. , for fear of turning him back."

   "After my uncle entered the cabinet, he began to send people to collect evidence of his crime, but before he got the evidence, your master brought it to him," Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "Otherwise, why do you think your uncle and your master are so good?"

"Zhang Boying had more than one million mu of fertile land at that time, and the annual rent alone was more than 600,000 shi, not to mention the real estate, shops and various smuggling businesses. It can be said that he was richer than the state treasury. It is recorded in the case that Dali The officials from the temple and the Ministry of Punishment had only arrived in Datong before they could investigate the Zhang Mansion, and the thieves broke out. They were also the first to arrive at the scene of the crime, so the records were particularly detailed. Half of the books in Zhang Boying’s small study disappeared. The gold and silver possessions disappeared overnight."

Gu Jingyun smiled slightly, "Since Zhang's study was stolen, Zhang Boying has strengthened his guards, but he did not expect to be robbed again, and so many books, so many gold and silver treasures were removed, they couldn't even hear any movement, you Are you saying it's unusual?"

  Li Baolu nodded fiercely, "It's strange!"

"Zhang Boying suffered such a big loss. He loved money the most in his life. He lost so much money and the military books inherited from the Zhang family. He almost lost his mind. I don't know how he found out about the master. When the master was arrested and brought to justice, and because he lost his mind, the officials of Marble took the opportunity to verify what he had committed, and he arrested the master and he was arrested and imprisoned." Gu Jingyun said: "Master and Zhang Boying were escorted back to Beijing for trial at the same time. The master returned the stolen money, but the military books did not go anywhere, and the situation was chaotic at the time, and no one remembered those books."

"Then Zhang's family was implicated and his house was raided, Zhang Boying was beheaded, and his master was exiled." Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "It's also because Master was lucky, he was targeting Zhang Boying at that time. I don't look down on Master, but I also feel that what Master did is not a heinous crime, and with the leadership of my uncle, everyone interceded with the late emperor, and this was sentenced to exile, otherwise Master's record of so many cases..."

  Gu Jingyun shook his head slightly, and Li Baolu also understood that his master was indeed lucky to be lucky enough to survive.
