My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

When he woke up the next day, Chang An habitually looked at Gu Li who was sleeping beside him. He listened to her breathing and it seemed that she was still asleep because she was too tired last night. Chang An got up gently, put on his clothes, tiptoed to get some water, and washed up.

After washing up, he put Gu Li's clothes beside her, then carried his bookcase and prepared to go to the Imperial College. Just as he was about to open the door to go out, he heard a very thin cry -

"Tsunero..."

"Where are you......"

Upon hearing the voice, Chang An threw the bookcase aside and ran to the bed. Gu Li hadn't woken up yet, but for some reason he started crying, which made Chang An feel distressed, so he picked him up with the quilt.

"I'm here, I'm here, Chang Lang is here." Chang An shook Gu Li and kissed her on the cheek.

Gu Li had tears in the corners of his eyes. He rubbed his lips in Chang An's arms for a moment before opening his eyes.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Chang An gently stroked her back and asked softly.

Gu Li sniffed, nodded gently, and said, "I just had a nightmare and found that Chang Lang was missing."

Chang An patted her forehead gently and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Chang Lang is always here. Are you tired, Gu Niang? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No, I can't sleep." Gu Li was about to get up from Chang An, but sat back down because of the discomfort in his legs.

Chang An put her back on the bed with a smile, helped her lie down, and said, "Chang Lang will be late for class. If Gu Niang is tired, you can rest for a while. You don't have to sleep."

Gu Li snuggled in the quilt obediently, nodded obediently, and said: "Then Chang Lang can go to school, I will be a good boy."

"My Gu Niang is so obedient." Chang An kissed her on the face lovingly, "I'm leaving first."

"Well, Changlang, be careful on the road and remember to come back early." Even though Gu Li was curled up in the quilt, he still remembered the words he had to say every day.

Chang An picked up the book box and left with Huaiqin.

......

In Xuanzheng Hall, Li Longji listened to the reports of the ministers as usual, and did not forget to think about the time and matter of dealing with the evil money. After asking about whether there were any epidemic diseases in the prefectures and counties as usual, he waved his hand and announced the end of the court.

After leaving the imperial city, Song Jing got directly into the carriage, where the guards were already sitting.

Song Jing sat down opposite him without changing his expression, and asked the driver to drive away. Then he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Liu Lu has begun to no longer believe the intelligence collected so far. You see..." the guard reported.

"In other words, the current rumors and public opinion have almost spread?" Song Jing twirled his beard. The "Liu Lu" that the guard mentioned just now was naturally Doctor Liu.

"Exactly."

Song Jing let go of the beard in his hand, then smiled twice and said, "In that case, we can start to arrange some truth in it."

Then he ordered, "You guys, send some people down to the restaurants with a lot of people and eyes, spread some real news and see what that old fox will do."

"Yes, Prime Minister." The guard agreed and then climbed out of the car window again.

"Don't..." Song Jing raised his hand at this time, but the person had already "flown" far away, and it was too late to call him back, "Don't climb the window."

But everyone had gone far away, and now Song Jing could only sigh and go over to close the curtains on the car windows. He kept muttering, "You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you run the household. I'll take your salary next time."

At this time, a carriage came towards them, and the driver whispered: "Prime Minister, Prince Qi's carriage is here."

"Pull over and make way." Song Jing could only let the carriage pull over, then slightly lift the window curtain and look across the road.

At this time, King Qi's carriage stopped next to Song Jing's carriage. The curtain was slowly lifted, revealing King Qi Li Fan.

"Prime Minister Song, how are you?" Li Fan spoke first.

"Greetings, King Qi. I wonder why you came to see me today?" Song Jing said with a smile on his face.

"What else can you do?" At this point, Li Fan lowered his voice and continued to say one word: "Ji Kangbo."

Song Jing was slightly stunned, but soon remembered that his student and King Qi had some connection, so he returned to his original composure.

Li Fan continued, "I think Prime Minister Song also knows about this. The current situation of rumors has reached the point that Chang Yonghe expected. It just depends on when the urn will be opened."

Song Jing smiled and said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's start the fire and start the work today."

"Then I will go and make some arrangements. I'll take my leave now." After Li Fan finished speaking, he lowered the curtain of the carriage.

"King Qi, take care."

After watching Li Fan leave, Song Jing lowered the window and told the driver to start driving back.

......

News spread quickly, and by the second holiday in March, rumors in the market had become half true and half false. When Liu Lu got up and went to the study, he saw his servant standing at the door with several envelopes.

"You've been waiting at the door since early morning. What's the matter?" Liu Lu pushed open the door of the study and asked.

"Doctor, there is new news." The servant handed the envelope to Liu Lu.

He took the envelope, walked into the study, sat down at his desk, opened the envelope and began to read.

"On the day of the discussion, Chang Yonghe had argued with Huang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites about his new marriage, and Chang left in anger."

"Two or three days after the discussion, Prime Minister Song went to Chang's residence to meet with Chang Yonghe. During this time, Chang Yonghe did not come to the Imperial College."

"On the day of Shangsi, Chang Yonghe and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were at the riverside outside the city, secretly investigating something that seemed to be related to the evil money."

"After Shangsi, King Qi invited Chang Yonghe to his residence and they had a very close conversation."

"Mid-March..."

These are all new and interesting news, and they don't seem to be fake, but Liu Lu feels that they are not real. He asked: "Where does this news come from?"

"My Lord," the servant replied, "I heard all this from the restaurants and streets where I had been stationed for a long time, and some of it was passed on from other Lords."

"Are they all old places?" Liu Lu finally confirmed.

"Yes, doctor." The servant nodded.

But Liu Lu's brows began to frown at this moment, and he put the envelope back on the table. He held his chin and began to think:

If this news is true, why did it only come out now? The previous news was obviously false, but the news in hand now is very real, and it seems to be the real situation at that time. But if it is false, why can it be spread so widely, even others can know it.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he even felt a little torn. If he continued to investigate, what if it turned out to be a fake, a bait sent by that old fox Song Jing, and he fell into the trap?

But if you don't follow the right path, you might miss the correct answer. Because all the information is about Chang An, and the first suspect is Chang An and Chang Yonghe.

Liu Lu held his forehead with his hand, frowning, and then as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Is there any news from Chang Yonghe's family?"

"No, sir," the servant replied.

"Then apart from Chang Yonghe's place, is there anywhere else that has not had any news for a long time?" Liu Lu asked again.

The servant thought for a moment, then said, "There is also no news from Zuiyun Tower and some other nodes on the street. There should be nothing valuable, so they have not been reported."

Liu Lu nodded and said, "Send more people to find out who spread these words!"

"Yes, doctor." The servant turned and left to give the order.

At this time, another servant came in, also holding an envelope, and said, "Doctor, new news."

"Give it here." Liu Lu waved his hand and said.

"Yes." The servant came forward and handed the envelope in his hand to Liu Lu.

Liu Lu opened the envelope and saw the following words written on it: "On the night after the test, Chang Yonghe and a few friends went to the Xinluan Restaurant and got drunk. Later, Chang Yonghe's wife, Gu, picked him up. He was drunk and talking nonsense in the carriage. He accidentally said that he had participated in the governance of bad money, and it was Gu who did it."

After Liu Lu finished reading the letter, he threw it aside and asked, "Where did this news come from?"

"Doctor, it was sent back by the people stationed in Pingkangfang." The servant replied.

Liu Lu thought about it for a while, then suddenly became furious and slammed the table and said, "Bring that man back to me!"

It rained the night after the test, and even with the best hearing, it was unlikely that one could hear what was said over the sound of raindrops and the carriage. Besides, it was said above that Chang An was drunk, so who could be so drunk and speak so loudly?

Even if that person's hearing was really good, this could not be true. Because Chang An loved his wife Gu the most, he could even assert that the current emperor and Concubine Wu Huifei were not as loving as they were. A man who loved and protected his wife so much would tell his wife about this matter -

Isn't this clearly an attempt to involve others?

Liu Lu boasted that he had investigated Chang An for a long time and knew him best - after all, the person who knows you best is your enemy. So he was sure that Chang An would never tell his wife Gu about this.

"Go quickly!" Liu Lu said angrily.

"Yes, doctor." Seeing Jia Alang so angry, the servant quickly turned around and left Liu Lu's study, then ran out of Liu's house and headed straight for Pingkangfang.

At this time, Li Longji and Song Jing were also in Xingqing Palace, and even Li Ying was there.

"According to Prime Minister Song, this is also Ji Kangbo's strategy?" Li Longji asked with a little surprise after listening to Song Jing's report.

"Your Majesty, that's right."

Li Longji held his chin up and couldn't help but admire: "What a good plan to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf and lure the enemy into a trap. This Ji Kangbo is a genius."

Then he asked, "Prime Minister Song, how far has the news spread now?"

"Your Majesty, the real news has all been released. It just depends on whether they believe it or not." Song Jing replied.

"Since Ji Kangbo has such a brilliant plan and has led this wolf out for me, then I will be the tiger and devour this wolf!" Li Longji waved his hand and ordered: "From now on, send the bad guys to investigate secretly!"

Song Jing quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
