I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Then he took out a handwritten letter and a hand-painted simple map and handed it to Bai Suzhen: "You will hand this letter to Xiaoqian when the time comes. This is a topographic map. I have already marked the route."

"Well, I'll be leaving in a minute."

Bai Suzhen took the letter and responded.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Bai!"

"My lord, you are too polite!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at how polite you two are...it's too fake!"

Baoqing puffed out smoke rings with a disdainful face.

Gu Ming reasoned lazily with him, turned his head and said, "Baoqing..."

"Tch, it's called Baoqing, and the girls over there are called Huan."

Gu Ming: "..."

How could this fox spirit lose his mind in another world?

"Okay, Miss Baoqing, I also want to ask you one thing when I come this time."

"Hee hee, for the sake of this girl, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Baoqing smiled all of a sudden, and puffed out smoke rings beautifully, looking extraordinarily bold, and seemed to enjoy the title of girl very much.

Ru Liang, who is more than 1000 years old...

"That's Miss Baoqing. I want you to go to the capital to harass that old demon Pudu Cihang. Anyway, you can't let that old demon be too leisurely. You have to find something for him to do..."

Before he finished speaking, Baoqing waved his hands again and again: "No, no, you know, fighting is not my specialty, my specialty is refining magic weapons."

Gu Ming said with a half smile but not a smile: "Miss Baoqing, don't be modest, others don't understand you, but I don't understand?

At the same time, you have to understand one thing, once that old demon succeeds in his plot, the world will be in chaos, and you will not have a good life at that time.

Besides, I didn't ask you to work hard.That old demon will never reveal his body easily in the capital.

So, even if the two of you really fight, you won't suffer a loss, and the big deal is to walk away. "

"This one……"

Baoqing's big eyes rolled around, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help asking: "What's the use of asking this girl to harass that old demon? Or what purpose do you want to achieve?"

"It's very simple, false and true, true and false, so that it can't figure out your origin and purpose. In this way, he will definitely be distracted and will try to find out your origin..."

"Tch, in that case, wouldn't he be eyeing Baoqingfang? This is not a good thing."

"Don't worry, Miss Baoqing, considering that old demon's personality, he won't easily fall out with you. After all, he is ambitious, so he may choose to win you over.

After all, he doesn't want a strong enemy under the tree, does he?

And your Baoqingfang... You know it in your own mind, even if that old monster breaks in by force, it may be very difficult for that old demon to break in. "

"Hehe, that's true. This Baoqingfang is my proud work. How can it be so easy for someone to break into it?"

Baoqing looked a little proud.

"Isn't that enough?"

Gu Ming smiled, and continued: "Besides, you are not the only one who wants to harass that old demon. I have entrusted others. In short, I will make sure that the old demon will be overwhelmed by the time..."

Hearing this, Baoqing squinted his eyes and asked: "It seems that you are quite confident, so why don't you just lure out that old demon and kill him directly?"

"It's not as simple as you said. This old demon has cast a big net. If he is really going to be forcibly killed, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the public. It is really the next strategy."

"Okay, then you follow your best strategy..."

Not long after, Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen left Baoqingfang together.

After saying goodbye, the two parted ways. Bai Suzhen went all the way to Guobei County as planned, while Gu Ming returned to the capital as quickly as possible.

……

Beijing.

Seemingly calm, singing and dancing are peaceful.

In fact, the undercurrent is already raging, and the mountain rain is about to come.

In the afternoon, Gu Ming returned to the mansion.

Xiaoyuan hurried forward to meet him, and helped Gu Ming take off his official robe and put on his normal clothes.

"My lord, drink a cup of tea first. Xiao Ling is cooking in the kitchen. She should be ready soon."

"Ok!"

Gu Ming responded, and then sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea while thinking about future plans.

He has passed information to Fa Hai in a special way.

At that time, Fahai will also come to the capital to assist secretly... In short, it is to create some troubles and doubts for Pudu Cihang, disturb and distract him.

In this way, it will inevitably greatly slow down the progress of his conspiracy.

Of course, this is just a step in Gu Ming's plan, and there is another important thing that must be carried out simultaneously: find out the details of Prince Qing and Ni Chenggui, and check whether they really communicated with each other secretly.

This matter is no small matter, and conclusive evidence must be obtained.

Gu Ming once thought about going to Prince Qing himself, and using his words to lure him to tell the truth.

But it is also very risky to do so. If it is not done well, it will force the opponent to raise troops in advance, and the loss outweighs the gain.

If you want to be on the safe side, the best way is to control Ni Chenggui first, after all, this guy has the military power in his hands.

As long as Ni Chenggui is under control, Lord Qing will be as fearless as a bird in a cage.

However, this can only be an idea. After all, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Ni Chenggui has the intention of treason.

If it is an own goal, and the opponent is forced to fight instead, the consequences will be quite serious.

After thinking about it, Gu Ming suddenly thought of someone: Luo Yan's grandfather, Luo Xiao, Lord of the Jing Kingdom.

Why not talk to his old man?

If there was anyone among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who knew the generals in the army best, it was probably Duke Yasukuni.

"Young master, the dishes are ready..."

When Gu Ming was thinking, Xiaoling walked over with small steps, lowered her head and whispered something.

"Oh, I see……"

Gu Ming responded, and subconsciously glanced at Xiaoling, but found that the girl's expression was a bit wrong.

"Little Ling, raise your head."

"what……"

Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, but she didn't dare to disobey the order, so she could only raise her head slowly.

However, he subconsciously turned his head to one side.

How could she hide from Gu Ming with her small actions, she had already seen a clue.

"Stand still and turn your head over."

"Yes, son."

Xiaoling bit her lip and responded softly.

This time, Gu Ming finally saw clearly, the girl's eyes were a little red and swollen, and the left side of her face was also a little red and swollen, and she knew she had been slapped, and more than once.

"Who hit it?"

Gu Ming immediately turned down, and asked in a deep voice.

Even though Xiaoyuan and Xiaoling were not the maids he hired, they still worked in his mansion anyway, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to being bullied outside.

Xiaoling quickly waved her hand: "No...no one, it's...the servant accidentally bumped into the door frame..."

Hearing these words, Gu Ming couldn't help being happy.

"The door frame of your house still knocks fingerprints on your face?"

"Ah? This..."

Xiao Ling touched her face subconsciously: "Maybe...maybe the servant caught it by herself..."

"Little round!"

Gu Ming turned his head to the side, and shouted at Xiao Yuan who was standing outside the hall and looking around.

"Son..."

Madoka hurried over.

"Tell me, what's going on here?"

"No……"

"If you dare to lie again, you two should stop working here!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyuan and Xiaoling's expressions suddenly changed, they both knelt down and cried, "I beg your lord to be merciful!"

"Then tell the truth!"

Xiaoyuan couldn't help looking sideways at Xiaoling, and gritted her teeth to tell the truth: "Go back to your son, Xiaoling...she was beaten by Director Wei."

"Wei Feng?"

Gu Ming frowned, and a face full of acne appeared in his mind.

When he first moved into the official residence, it was Wei Feng who was in charge of leading him.

This person is not an imperial official, but a small official. His main responsibility is to take care of the chores of dozens of mansions in this area, such as the daily maintenance of mansions, the recruitment management of servants, and so on.

It seems like a small official, but the power and favor are quite large.

After Xiaoyuan's narration, Gu Ming knew the whole story.

The wages of the two of them were allocated by the imperial court to be one or two taels of silver per month, which was relatively high in comparison, and the maids of those rich families generally only had a few taels of silver.

It's just that it was said to be one or two yuan, but when it was sent to them, it was only nine yuan.

In other words, three dollars were deducted.

It's not just the two of them, all the servants here are like this, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Even if they only get nine renminbi, it is still higher than the wages of working outside, so Xiaoyuan and Xiaoling are still very satisfied.

A few days ago, Xiao Ling met Wei Feng when she went out to buy vegetables.

That guy drank some cat urine, was a little drunk, and used the strength of alcohol to touch Xiaoling...

Shy, anxious and startled, Xiao Ling couldn't help but slam it... As a result, Wei Feng lost his balance and fell to the ground, with two skin scratches on his body.

Just because of this, this guy hated Xiao Ling.

In the morning, Xiaoling and Xiaoyuan went to collect wages together, but the wages sent to Xiaoling were only three cents.

The person who paid the wages said that this was the order of the general manager Wei.

Xiaoling was so angry that she ran to Wei Feng to argue, but she didn't get her wages back, and was slapped several times by Wei Fan...

After hearing the reason, Gu Ming got up immediately: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Yuan, follow me to find Wei Feng."

Xiao Ling hurriedly begged: "No, Young Master, please, don't go... The servant is fine, really fine."

"Are you afraid that guy will retaliate against you?"

Gu Ming asked coldly.

At this time, Xiaoyuan couldn't help but muttered: "Young Master, Director Wei... Director Wei is... Fei Shangshu's distant relative..."

"Oh? Feiyou, Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

"Yes, yes..." Xiaoyuan replied timidly.

"So that's the case. It's no wonder that a small official is so bold and reckless. He has a backer for his daring."

Gu Ming said mockingly.

Well, Zhengchou has no breakthrough.
