King Zhenbei has a favorite

When Gu Ting turned his head, he saw Huo Yan bullying the little leopard.

Immediately speechless: "What do you care about with it..."

He put the dried fish into the food bowl of the little lynx and pushed it in front of the little lynx.

In the past two months, the little lynx has grown up a lot, and its size is comparable to that of an adult cat, but its personality is still like a cub. When it sees food, it gets excited, meows and plunges into the food bowl, eats hard, and never cares about it. Not on the other.

Gu Ting looked at Huo Yan: "Did you tell Meng Ce when you came into the mansion?"

Huo Yan shook his head: "I came in over the wall, but he should know."

It's good that the master of the palace knows. With their relationship, many things don't need to be so rigid. Gu Ting was relieved, raised his hand and yawned: "But I'm really sleepy, and I don't feel much in the mood to chat. Are you going back?"

"not good."

"Ok?"

Huo Yan stared at Gu Ting's lips, his voice hoarse: "I just confessed to you..."

Gu Ting: ...

No matter how I listen to it, I feel that this sentence is a bit resentful, like a little lady picking on her fiancé, we are just right, you don't have any attachment to me, and you won't be reluctant at all, it's too much!

How can you not be excited, how can you be sleepy!It's fine if you don't sleep all night, you have to give me a kiss, otherwise this matter will never end, I will leave or I won't leave!

Gu Ting felt like he was a bit scum...

Also a little shy.

It seems to be the reason?

Now that he has made a decision, Gu Ting won't regret it, and of course he won't refuse if he has some intimacy, he tiptoes slightly and kisses Huo Yan.

It is very light and short-lived, but it is still fatal to the two people who just expressed their hearts. The numb feeling came from nowhere, making people blush and heartbeat, as if floating in the air, hands and feet are not their own Yes, the heart is not your own.

As soon as he left, Huo Yan grabbed the back of his head and deepened the kiss.

It is no longer a short-lived numbness, but the scorching heat of the blazing sun, the madness of wildfire, the surging tide, and the rush of blood.

After the kiss, the two couldn't stop panting, Huo Yan put his big hand behind Gu Ting's head, pressing against his forehead, and his voice became hoarse: "I regret it."

The blood all over his body was restless, thinking that a kiss could comfort him, but he didn't want that after the kiss, the lust would become even more intense, and it could almost start a prairie fire.

"Hurry up and marry me, okay?"

Gu Ting blushed slightly, and hummed lightly: "When everything here is done, we will get married."

Originally, I planned to take advantage of today's palace banquet to resign, but I didn't plan to leave immediately. It's good to scare others, but unfortunately the atmosphere was not right all night, so I couldn't say this.

Early the next morning, Huo Yan went into the palace to bid farewell, but Emperor Jianping did not agree, because he had another very important matter to be given to King Zhenbei——

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, King Zhenbei found out the assassination of the Son of Heaven. He made a great contribution. However, what happened that day was not the only one. At that time, the place where the incident happened was next to the official office of the Household Department. At the time of the incident, the warehouse of the Household Department was also looted , After several days of investigation to no avail, Emperor Jianping handed over the matter to King Zhenbei, hoping that he could relieve the king's worries.

With the sentence "I believe in you, be sure to find back what I lost", King Zhenbei had to accept the order gratefully and thank you for your kindness.

When Huo Yan left the palace and went to Guzang Palace to meet Gu Ting, his entire face was dark.

You don't want to leave yourself, and others don't let you go are two different things.And what a big deal it is to lose something in the warehouse of the household department. If it is a big risk or it can shake the foundation of the country, and it is a heavy responsibility, it seems that it is not appropriate to come to the door to propose marriage at this time...

Huo Yan hopes that everything for Gu Ting is the best, that the marriage will be lively and happy, that there will be no troubles, no unexpected accidents, and he hopes that everything will be perfect and all memories will be happy. It's all about happiness.

"Things take time, it doesn't matter if some things are a little later, huh?" Gu Ting felt his loss, patted his shoulder, and smiled brightly, like the sunshine in spring, "We still have a long time to live."

Huo Yan's heart trembled, he buried his head on his shoulder, and took a deep breath: "Yes."

That's right, they still have a lifetime, so they don't have to be too persistent for a while.

Gu Ting thought of Concubine You's slightly weird smile before they parted last night. At that time, he didn't understand, he didn't understand the reason for this smile, but now he recalled it, because this woman knew that there was a bigger one behind Emperor Jianping. trick!

This couple is really ruthless!

Huo Yan hugged him all the time, his body was covered with sweat, Gu Ting sighed, and pushed his shoulder: "Tangtang Town North King, you can't stand such a blow, you still need my comfort, huh?"

Huo Yan hugged him shamelessly: "Need it. Master Zing, hurry up and comfort me."

Gu Ting: "Didn't I comfort you?"

Huo Yan was also shocked: "One sentence, is it also called comfort?"

Gu Ting frowned: "Then what kind of peace does the prince want..."

He didn't need to finish talking at all, when he saw where Huo Yan's eyes were focused, he understood everything, and pushed Huo Yan away cleanly: "What did the princess say? What is respect? Hmm?"

Huo Yan: ...

There is a feeling of lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

Not only did Gu Ting speak quickly, but he also backed away very quickly. He didn't give King Zhenbei any chance to do bad things. If Huo Yan took a step forward, he would take a step back. However, the lord has no room to play with his abilities, even hooligans can't play tricks. .

Huo Yan had no choice but to say in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't move you."

It's broad daylight, and it's not the right time for him to move!If the little thing moves back, it will hit the wall!

Others don't feel bad, he feels bad.

Gu Ting heaved a sigh of relief, it's not that he doesn't want to get close to Huo Yan, but sometimes Huo Yan's eyes are too scary, as if he could tear him apart in the next moment, the kind that's particularly ruthless...

He cleared his throat twice, and turned the topic into a more serious one: "It's fine if you can't leave. You haven't found out about your affairs yet, have you? Who is Beidi Xizuo's final contact person in the capital? Since he is here in the capital, he must find out .”

And as early as when they entered the capital, they were mentally prepared. This trip is easy, but it may be a bit difficult to go. Why should they be disappointed when they expected something?

Huo Yan just regretted not being able to get married with Gu Ting sooner, nothing else. He really wanted to leave. How could he have no choice but to suppress the King of the North?The little thing is too vigilant, slippery, and ran so far all at once, for his cuteness, forget it this time.

In the future... there will be times when you cry!

Huo Yan calmly sat down at the table: "This time is different from the last 'assassination' incident. It is probably true that there is a loss in the warehouse of the household department." Judging from the solemn expression of Emperor Jianping, one can get a glimpse of it.

Gu Ting's eyelashes twitched slightly, and strongly suggested to pull people: "Ask Meng Zhen to discuss with his brother?"

Huo Yan pretended not to see his little thoughts, and propped his chin with one hand: "Yes."

Soon, Guzang King brothers were invited over, Huo Yan couldn't play a hooligan casually, even if he sat with him, Gu Ting was relieved.

Hearing the news brought back by Huo Yan, Meng Zhen was not at all unhappy: "Okay, let's go later, I haven't finished eating all the delicious food in the capital!"

Anyway, with his brother by his side, he doesn't miss home much.

Meng Ce rubbed his younger brother's head, his expression was as calm as ever: "If you and I want to leave, how can we stop here?"

These words were addressed to Huo Yan, two princes, with real power in their hands, how could it be possible that they rode into Beijing alone without any preparations?If there is an accident, it is not a problem to take care of yourself and leave with the people around you.

Money is hard to buy, I am willing, since some people still want to stay, and some things still want to see, then it will be a few days later, life is still a long way, so why rush?

He and his younger brother have never been to the capital, this is the first time, and there will probably be no opportunities in the future, so it is better to take the opportunity to do everything you want to do, and understand everything you want to know.

Meng Zhen rested his chin and looked at Huo Yan, his small face was full of curiosity: "But the emperor only asked you to look for it, but he didn't seem to say that he lost anything?"

Gu Ting just laughed: "Hubu Warehouse, what did you say you lost?"

Meng Zhen blinked, but still didn't understand.

Meng Ce asked his younger brother, "What does the household ask?"

"There must be many more things. The most important thing is to collect taxes..." At this point, Meng Zhen punched his palm and finally understood, "It's Ku Yin!"

It's money!A lot of money!

Holding the teacup, Gu Ting blew slowly: "Leaving such an important matter to us, it can be seen that there is really no one in the imperial court."

After such a long time, they broke the situation of 'the emperor was assassinated', and participated in the palace banquet to piss people off. Only then did Emperor Jianping tell this matter. It is impossible that they did not check it themselves. Only then was it thrown over.

If Huo Yan can't find out, then he has done something, and if he has, of course he will be punished. If it is found out...Emperor Jianping must have secretly sent someone to watch, the capital is deep, and King Zhenbei is alone, so it is easy to make trouble. It's hard to keep a secret.

Wanting to borrow someone else's strength, but borrowing it in such a sneaky way, is unwilling.

Meng Ce: "The timing of this incident is very delicate. The emperor 'coincidentally' was assassinated at that time, but it became a perfect cover for it. I don't believe it is a coincidence."

If it weren't for a coincidence, who would have known about the "Assassination of the Son of Heaven" in advance, and quickly deployed a plan to act at the same time as the "Assassination" happened, taking the opportunity to cover up all the movement?Who can do it?

Huo Yan: "The location of the Hubu warehouse is also very delicate. The guards in the capital are not vegetarians. It is one thing to throw something away, but another to transport it out."

Kuyin is not something that can be carried in your pocket casually. The quantity is small, and it is useless to steal it, and it is too risky. Conspicuous, how to transport it out of the city gate?

Meng Zhen: "Then let's not transport it out, spend it in the city?"

Gu Ting: "Who's family suddenly hid so many big cars, it's impossible not to see them without eyes. They can hide them for a while, but they can't hide them forever. If they want to spend them, how can they spend them? Why steal so much money and steal so much money? How could you want to make a fuss in the capital..."

His brain turned quickly, and while talking, Gu Ting understood a little bit, if the things had already left the capital, it would be useless to ask Huo Yan for help, Emperor Jianping would let Huo Yan do this, probably because the things hadn't gone out yet?

After so many days, the search circle must be slowly shrinking and gradually becoming more precise. I haven't gone out yet, I'm afraid it will soon be impossible to hide, what should I do if I can't hide?The crisis has to be resolved first, what Meng Zhen said is true, it might really take a while.

So much money, how to spend it logically?

"peddler!"

"business!"

"Business!"

Huo Yan, Gu Ting and Meng Ce all spoke in unison, had the same thought, and said the same thing!

Meng Zhen: ...

I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here, I should be in the car... What's wrong with this, how can I do business with the merchant, what did he miss?Do you all have the same brain?

Meng Ce saw that his younger brother was very cute with his puffy face, so he raised his hand and stroked his hair: "We only thought of it because of your reminder."

Meng Zhen blushed: "Really, really?"

Gu Ting said seriously, "That's right, you are the one who is smart and pointed in the right direction!"

Huo Yan also nodded lightly: "Yes."

Meng Zhen was very coaxing, and immediately felt happy, twisting her fingers: "Then, that's fine, you guys continue..."

Gu Ting looked at Huo Yan, then at Meng Ce: "Recently...is there any lively business talk here?"

These two lords have their own intelligence network, and there is no lack of love for big or small things. If they happen to be pleasing to the eye and find out...

Huo Yan really nodded: "I heard that the female God of Wealth from Jiangnan came to the capital to do a silk business."

The Goddess of Wealth, whose name is Ye Pengzhen, is known to anyone with a bit of experience. She made her fortune in the Jiangnan base camp and traveled to many places in business. There are legends about her in the South China Sea, Ximan, and Northland. She is a very powerful woman.

"It's such a coincidence?" Gu Ting continued to ask, "Then has she been here before? Who are you looking for?"

Huo Yan shook his head.

Meng Ce also shook his head: "We don't know what happened to this matter."

Gu Ting understood that this was just one-sided news from their information channels, not detailed. Others have been to the capital several times, where they have been, who they have met this time, because it has nothing to do with their own interests, so they did not pay too much attention .

Meng Zhen raised his hand weakly: "Is this female God of Wealth suspicious?"

Gu Ting shook his head: "If the imperial treasury is lost, it must be someone who is closely related to it on weekdays. The Goddess of Wealth has been doing business all the time, so the suspicion will be relatively small, unless it is used by someone."

Meng Ce disagreed with this point: "Most merchants have a keen sense of smell, and Ye Pengzhen is a capable person, not someone who can be easily used."

"If it wasn't for someone else taking advantage of her—" Huo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "it's just the time, she happened to appear in the capital, and she was delivered to your door?"

Everyone has something they want, and Ye Pengzhen has it too, and the big business she has in hand happens to be an opportunity for others, a win-win situation, who can think so much?Before Xu knew it, he got into the game.

Huo Yan agrees with this: "So, it makes sense."

Gu Ting snapped his fingers: "So if our guess is true, then this round, the Goddess of Wealth is likely to be the breakthrough point!"

Meng Zhen also remembered someone: "By the way, isn't that Bao Jingyi a civil servant from the household department? It seems to be from the warehouse department. He was on duty that night! Is the place on duty the door of the warehouse?"

Gu Ting shook his head: "It's not the same. Most of the civil servants are clerical workers. Warehouse guards, storage, inventory and other work are handled by a special person. He probably can't intervene. The official office is on rotation. Each department sends different people to be on duty at different times. The head class, who is responsible for the overall paperwork, must not go to the warehouse."

Meng Zhen: "That's right, otherwise the emperor wouldn't let him play like this without punishment."

It was found out regularly that the matter had nothing to do with him.

Gu Ting's eyes flickered slightly: "This matter has nothing to do with him, but he is a clerk in the warehouse department after all, so he must know something. I remember the first night when we met and asked him about Sun Hongzhe, he complained that his boss kept asking for leave. He's not here, that's why he's on duty, that boss, maybe we can look for it."

Huo Yan: "There are also defenses in the capital. It is best to check all the ditches and secret passages. The black market is also the same. If someone does heart work, he must have inquired about it."

Meng Ce thought for a while and said, "I'll find someone."

You can take your younger brother for a walk around by the way. When others see your younger brother, they probably won't set up defenses. It's not difficult to inquire about the news.

Huo Yan nodded: "Then I'll go and check the defenses of the capital, the ditches and secret passages, and the black market."

The people in these places are cunning, and the bold and the timid are starved to death. Silver is hard currency. Meng Zhen is simple-minded and inappropriate.

Gu Ting smiled: "It seems that this female God of Wealth can only be met by me for a while. I don't know what this sister likes. Jiangnan beauties are probably not very flattering. I will make a backup gift and send it to have a look tomorrow. Just in case, go to the chamber of commerce to see if you can find more breakthroughs."

It didn't take long for the four of you to talk to each other, from having no clue to sorting out the context.Probably the direction is in place, and everyone is not idle, they spread out and start to get down to business.

Gu Ting here, the progress is not going well.

He inquired about the address of the Goddess of Wealth, and personally picked out a bunch of things and sent them over, but no one else let them in.He looked at the long queue at the door, and he understood very well in his heart. Everyone was waiting in line, how could he jump in line?Who did the Goddess of Wealth know him, and why should she see him?

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no change in the team, he gave the gift first. The person in charge was probably used to this kind of scene, saluted in a proper manner, recorded, and asked what was going on, saying that if the Goddess of Wealth is free, Someone will be sent to invite you.

Unable to see the Goddess of Wealth, Gu Ting turned around and went to the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce in the capital city is an old man, and I heard that he has a very good background, but he doesn't like reading and writing. The president of the chamber of commerce, unfortunately, is an old man with a weird temper, and he doesn't like people coming to beg him, so Gu Ting still didn't see anyone this time.

You were born as a female family member, so it's a bit inconvenient, but the old man doesn't care so much, at least you can play a shameless rascal.

The direction of the plan has just been made, the time is short, and the information collection is not enough. No matter what other countermeasures to think about, it will take two days, but I don’t want to waste these two days. I don’t know what the old man needs and what he likes. The old people will not hate the health-preserving medicinal diet, right?

It just so happened that he was confident in his craft.

Gu Ting turned around and went back to his own shop, and made a pot of soup with his own hands. When the lid was lifted, the fragrance wafted away for miles, without any smell of medicine, and it definitely had some effect.

It's a pity that the head of the Chamber of Commerce didn't come out. A passer-by was so greedy that he quietly approached him: "That...can you give me some?"

This is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He is tall, with a thin waist, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is handsome and unrestrained. Unfortunately, this unrestrained man is now covered in dust, his stubble is turning blue, and his lips are so dry that they are about to crack. The soup in Gu Ting's hand is like a puppy looking at the meat and bones, his eyes are so bright that they are about to shine, he looks very pitiful.

Gu Ting had been waiting for a long time, and the old manager didn't come down, and he didn't want the pot of soup to be wasted, so he took out a bowl, scooped it up and handed it over.

The man seemed like he hadn't eaten for a long time. He wolfed down a bowl, but it was still not enough. Looking at the soup in Gu Ting's hand, he showed puppy eyes again.

Gu Ting simply pushed everything to him.

"thanks……"

After the man finished the soup, his eyes were slightly hot. He didn't know whether it was because of the emotion at this moment, or because the emotion at this moment reminded him of the past. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, looked at Gu Ting for a moment, and smiled slightly: "You are very kind."

Gu Ting took a closer look at this person, and he didn't find it annoying at all, and he even had a bit of sleepiness, so he also smiled: "It's a pity that people still shut the door, probably because they didn't work hard enough."

He was standing at the door of the chamber of commerce with a pot of soup in his hand, and everyone who passed by could see that he couldn't knock on the door. He was not afraid of being laughed at by others, and he laughed at himself quite frankly.

"I want to do business..." The man's voice was very soft, and he looked at Gu Ting with a vague gaze, as if he saw someone else through him, "Then you have to work hard, this road is very difficult."

Gu Ting thought of the topic he had just talked about not long ago, and laughed: "Yes, after all, no one is the Goddess of Wealth."

The man put down the bowl slowly: "Thank you for the soup."

As elusive as when he came, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

"What a strange person..."

Gu Ting put the soup pot and bowl back into the food box, and before he finished packing, he saw Meng Zhen and Meng Ce approaching: "Why are you here too? What a coincidence!"

Meng Zhen crossed his waist and panted: "Stop talking, chasing people is such a difficult job!"

Meng Ce explained: "Bao Jingyi's boss is called Ting Ye, in his 30s, and has not married a wife yet. There are only three servants in his family. He said he asked for leave, but in fact he disappeared for a long time. No one said where he is now. Got it."

Meng Zhen: "My brother is as careful as a hair, and finally found something. He chased a man all the way, but after chasing after him, the man disappeared! The lightness kung fu is super powerful!"

Seeing that both of them were exhausted, especially Meng Zhen, who might not be able to hold on anymore, Gu Ting comforted him: "If you lose it, you will lose it, and you will find it next time. It's getting late today, and I'm too tired. How about tomorrow? Why not?" Go home and rest first."

Meng Zhen was a little hesitant: "But my brother said that in doing things, you have to go forward and strike to the end. If you interrupt it, it will be even more difficult to take over in the future."

Gu Ting glanced at Meng Ce, and continued calmly: "I made soup, which is your favorite. Now go back, the heat is just right."

Meng Zhen immediately rebelled: "I want to eat!"

In the next two days, there was still little progress. Gu Ting did not see the Goddess of Wealth, and the president of the chamber of commerce also never showed up.

This person has always been strange, and for some reason, the time when Gu Ting comes over is uncertain, whether it is early or late, and sometimes he does not necessarily bring food, but as long as he comes, as long as he brings it, this person will definitely Will appear.

The two Meng Ce brothers haven't caught anyone yet, Meng Zhen is out of breath all the time, his little face is tense; Huo Yan hasn't made much progress, and many things will take some time to straighten out.

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain, at this time, the crown prince and the second prince sent letters to Huo Yan at the same time, asking him to meet.Whether to go or not, who to choose to meet if you go, and what to say when you meet are all questions.

This is the last chance given by both parties. If you come, we belong to the same shop. If you don't come... I'm afraid we will stumble.

Huo Yan tore up the letter and threw it away: "Of course I don't go anywhere."

……

Wick alley, a certain five entered the mansion.

Ye Pengzhen rubbed her forehead: "How many days have I been comatose?"

The close maid, Hongsi, twisted a hot handkerchief to wipe her face: "It's been three days. It's cold in spring, and chronic illnesses are prone to occur. Let's avoid going to that kind of place in the future..."

The maid said it cryptically, but Ye Pengzhen knew that she was talking about the cemetery.

"Has anyone ever looked for me?"

"No..." Knowing what the master really asked, Hongsi answered carefully.

Ye Pengzhen covered her face and smiled, yes, who would look for her and care if she was sick or not?That person died a long time ago... It is impossible to come back in this life.

The loose skirt and pale lips did not affect her beauty. Ye Pengzhen is not only the God of Wealth in Jiangnan, but also the number one beauty in Jiangnan. How many people would do all kinds of ridiculous things just to have a look at her.

Hongsi's heart aches, her master should always be on top, bright and bright, and shouldn't be so hurtful.

"There is Mr. Gu, who brought a gift." I don't know if it is useful to mention this person.

Ye Pengzhen sat up suddenly: "The surname is Gu, Gu Ting?"

Hongsi nodded: "Yes, this is Mr. Gu."

"Then I'm a little sorry for others..."

Ye Pengzhen's eyes flickered slightly: "You go and get me the medicine to drink, and then find the doctor to give me acupuncture. I will be able to sit and walk tomorrow morning."

Hongsi immediately became excited: "Yes! The servant girl will do it now!"

The master is finally willing to see a doctor and take medicine, thank you Mr. Gu!
