After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

On September 14th, the second year of Zhiping in the Song Dynasty, looking at the half-empty Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Gu Tingye felt a sharp toothache.

Behind him, Gu Tingwei, the third son of the Gu family, was sighing and looking worried, as if he was worried about the upcoming journey.

"Second brother, do you think we can meet again in the future?"

At this moment, what Gu Tingwei thought about most was that he might never see his second brother again in the future.

"Tingwei, don't worry, there will definitely be such a day."

Gu Tingye was unable to make any response. After all, this time the 'investigation of traitors' was under the supervision of both the emperor and the empress dowager, and the rules were personally set. Those involved must be severely punished.

If Gu Tingye had not been away from the capital during those years serving in the army, and had not contributed to protecting the emperor and following the emperor, he would probably have been held jointly responsible.

I had wanted to lend a hand to the Gu family and do them a favor, but it turned out that everyone in the court seemed to stand by and watch as all the branches of the Gu family left the capital.

"But fortunately, the emperor is kind and allowed us to arrange my second brother's marriage before leaving the capital. Otherwise, my second brother would not even have a family in this huge mansion."

Gu Tingwei remained so heartless all these years. Although he felt that his good days were over after leaving Bian Jing, he was also glad that he had saved his life and could return to his hometown safely to become a rich man.

As for Ting Bing, who is from the lineage of Mr. Gu Si, he was directly sentenced to exile to the border. It is unknown whether he can live to complete his sentence.

Because of this incident, the conflict between Mr. Gu Si and Gu Tingye became increasingly serious. The Gu family members all thought that Gu Tingye, as a favorite of the emperor, could speak well of him.

The result was that it was of no use at all, and all the people from the third, fourth and fifth branches were driven out of Tokyo Prefecture.

The Gu family still hasn’t figured out why this happened, including Gu Tingye himself.

"Maybe..." Gu Tingye's brows were wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Seeing Gu Tingye thinking, Gu Tingwei sighed helplessly.

The two brothers were still chatting here when several servants and maids walked by Langfang, whispering something.

"Have you heard? Because Bing'er was exiled to the border, the Fourth Master's family is now clamoring to come and make trouble on the day of the Marquis's wedding!"

"It is true?"

"Of course it's true. I heard it from the people in the Fourth Master's mansion. They said that the Fourth Master resented the Marquis for not helping him, but instead took advantage of his misfortune!"

"Then there will be a good show tomorrow!"

"What a show! Your news is out of date!"

"I heard from the yamen runners in Kaifeng Prefecture that because the Fourth Master's family has been severely implicated by Bing'er, they are demanding that they leave the capital today and return to their ancestral home. This means that the Marquis's wedding tomorrow will be disrupted."

A servant swore something shocking.

"Are you in such a hurry?!"

The remaining servants and maids all looked incredulous.

Because Kaifeng Prefecture's case handling efficiency has always been criticized. After all, in a capital city like Tokyo Prefecture, investigating a case can involve a large number of royal relatives, nobles and ministers, so Kaifeng Prefecture has no way to start.

This "rebel case" can be said to be the fastest and most rapid case investigation and closure since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Yes, it's urgent. I heard from the yamen runners that this case has reached the imperial court, and the Kaifeng Prefecture will not forward the case progress report to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice."

"Wow! Doesn't that mean the Marquisate is doomed from now on?!"

"Hush, what nonsense are you talking about? The Madam, the Fourth Master, and the Fifth Master are all finished. From now on, there will only be one Gu in Bianjing City, and that is the Marquis!"

"It seems we should quickly find someone to serve the Marquis."

"That's right. I'll ask Mother Chen when I get back."

"..."

The words of the servants and maids were heard clearly by the Gu Tingye brothers. They looked at each other and could feel a strange wave flowing in the dark.

"Who is this ruthless person?"

Gu Tingye's cleverness enabled him to realize the crux of the problem at this time. Someone must have tampered with it.

"Sanlang, just stay home and relax. I have some things to take care of and will be back later."

Gu Tingye threw off his robe, strode out of the Marquis' Mansion and headed towards Prince Huan's Mansion.

. . . . . .

"I have a general understanding of what you're talking about, but it's not okay to just make assumptions."

"As for why this 'rebel case' was handled so vigorously, it's probably because the Empress Dowager intervened."

"The Emperor is such a filial son, the Empress Dowager's worry must be resolved as soon as possible."

"If you think someone is using the power of the court and the emperor to expand the case, then you need evidence!"

"..."

Gu Tingye looked at Prince Huan Zhao Ceying walking around the study with his hands behind his back, and felt a little confused for a moment.

According to his thoughts, from what King Huan had said to him before, he might have known the outcome long ago or was involved in it.

Why did King Huan act like he was clueless when he raised the question now?

"Your Highness, do you really not know?"

Gu Tingye hesitated and asked softly.

"Hmm?" King Huan Zhao Ceying blinked and instantly came to his senses.

"You are such a good fellow, Zhong Huai! Do you suspect that this matter has something to do with me?"

King Huan was so angry that he laughed, pointing at Gu Tingye and not knowing what to say for a long time.

"I've known you for several years, but you still don't know who I am. Besides, this matter wasn't handled by me personally."

Zhao Ceying's words made Gu Tingye nod slightly, but his furrowed brows remained fixed.

"Zhong Huai, you might as well think about it. If your Madam Qin, the Four Clan, and the Five Clan were all driven out of the capital, who would benefit the most?"

King Huan's words brought Gu Tingye back to his senses and he immediately realized something.

"Of course it's me. After all, they have a deep grudge against me and are eager to kill me and seize this title."

Gu Tingye stroked his chin, feeling that he had missed something.

"In short, as long as they don't harm you, that's fine. They'll never come back from the capital, so just focus on your work in Tokyo."

"Besides, tomorrow is your wedding day, so don't think too much."

King Huan didn't want to get too involved in Gu Tingye's family affairs, as long as he was fine.

Gu Tingye came out of Prince Huan's Mansion in a daze, and his sense of the mysterious world became clearer and clearer.

"My Lord, the Sixth Miss asked Xiao Tao to pass on a message to you, saying that she is waiting for you at the Anyang Marquis's Mansion and has something to tell you."

Shitou came out from the side, leading his horse, and reported.

"Sixth Miss? Why is she looking for me now?"

Gu Tingye is now in a state of confusion and feels like he is about to turn into a mess.

"I don't know, it looks urgent. Would you like to go?"

Shi Tou answered naively.

"Let's go to Anyang Marquis' Mansion!"

Gu Tingye jumped onto the horse and headed towards Anyang Marquis' Mansion.

. . . . . .

"This, this, this!!!"

Gu Tingye was holding the letter left by Han Ming at this time, looking at a loss.

"Don't be anxious, Lord Gu. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

Yu Yanran asked Gu Tingye to sit down with a helpless look, and Sheng Minglan beside her kept holding her forehead.

"I really can't bear Jingyuan's so-called 'gift'!"

Gu Tingye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that this thorough investigation of the "Rebel King Case" was not only initiated by Han Ming, but also initiated by Kaifeng Prefecture.

All we need is one word - fast.

The so-called results were nothing more than deliberate exaggerations in the report, a cover-up to drag the Gu family branch into the water.

"Yanran, I really regret not dissuading you from marrying Han Dalang and causing you so much suffering."

Sheng Minglan grabbed Yu Yanran's hand and said with some emotion.

"Minglan, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yu Yanran burst into laughter out of anger.

"Han Dalang is such a scheming person, and he is so devoted to you that he hasn't taken a concubine. I even suspect he has ulterior motives in marrying you. He is simply a cunning fox."

Sheng Minglan's words were greatly agreed by Gu Tingye.

"Oh, okay Minglan, stop talking about Han Lang like that. He's trying to make it up to you two, otherwise he wouldn't bother doing such a thing."

Yu Yanran resolutely defended her husband and would not allow Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan to speak like that.

Seeing Yu Yanran like this, Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan gave up the idea of ​​continuing to play.

The two looked at each other, stood up and bowed together.

"We will never forget the kindness of Marquis Han."

"Okay, okay, don't be like this, why should we be polite..."

Yu Yanran immediately smiled and pulled Sheng Minglan over, and the three of them started chatting, of course, about tomorrow's agenda.

That night, Gu Tingye held up Han Ming's letter in his bedroom and couldn't help laughing: "You really know how to give gifts."

The letter paper was blown across by a breeze, the moonlight outside the window shone on it, and the elegant handwriting flowed slowly.

"Zhong Huairu, by the time you see this letter, I will have already gone north to Liao as an envoy. I am writing this letter for no other reason than to give you a great wedding gift."

"This time, I led the troops to defend against the Liao army, which deprived you and Sixth Miss of the opportunity to spend time together. I also know why you two are worried."

"It's nothing more than the branches of the Gu family and that Madam Qin who was just playing around."

"You and the Sixth Miss are worried about him stirring up trouble behind your back, so Han will set up a trap himself to put you both at ease."

"The case of Prince Yan's rebellion is deeply fraught with consequences. The emperor has always had some ideas in mind, but he has been unable to make up his mind."

"I played the role of a go-between, alerted the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and also took the opportunity to greet the Kaifeng Prefecture."

"They will definitely make good arrangements. You and Sixth Miss can enjoy your wedding."

"At the same time, we can also look forward to a comfortable life without any conspiracies or backstabbing!"

"By the way, don't be too grateful. After all, I'm a kind and helpful person!!!"

"O(n_n)O haha~"

"..."
