Gu Qing didn't know the identity of Huangfu Sisi. In the past, he just intuitively believed that Huangfu Sisi had a mysterious origin. He should be well-educated and come from a wealthy family, but he didn't know the details.

As long as it doesn't hurt him or stab him in the back, Gu Qing never likes to inquire into other people's privacy. Everyone has secrets. Finding out secrets that have nothing to do with him satisfies his curiosity, but it hurts others.

However, recently, when Bian Lingcheng was so angry that he was about to reveal Huangfu Sisi's identity in public, Gu Qing almost subconsciously knocked him unconscious with a slap from his scabbard.

At this juncture, Lingcheng revealed Huangfu Sisi's identity in public. He obviously regarded it as a very important bargaining chip. No matter what kind of bargaining chip it was, Gu Qing could not let him get what he wanted. Once he said it, there would be no room for change. Huangfu Sisi

Both Gu Qing and Gu Qing will become very passive.

Bian Lingcheng fainted without even humming. Pei Zhounan stared at Gu Qing dumbfounded, suppressed his anger and whispered: "Master Marquis, please think twice. Bian Lingcheng's identity is extraordinary. I don't even know how to write a memorial to a subordinate."

Already."

Gu Qing clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The border supervisor is living well. He and I just have political differences. The anger between the two parties was difficult to control for a while, so the quarrel turned into a fight. It was just a fight. Pei Yushi, don't take it too seriously.

.”

Pei Zhounan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou said it so lightly... I don't know what the border supervisor will write in his memorial after he wakes up. Master Hou... you are too impulsive."

Gu Qing quickly glanced at Huangfu Sisi with a smile on his face.

Impulsive? He didn't think so.

That move just now might have saved her life. Who knows where this female shopkeeper came from? If she was a rebel, at least she was able to marry him just now, but was ruthlessly rejected by him.

"Han Jie, carry the border supervisor into the house and have a good rest..." Gu Qing suddenly put on a caring look on his face and said softly: "Serve the border supervisor well and don't let him bump into each other again. After he is sent to the room,

Close the door tightly and don't let outsiders disturb his rest."

Han Jie understood it and clasped his fists in response.

The unconscious Bian Lingcheng was carried into the backyard room, and Gu Qing watched him leave with an affectionate look in his eyes.

Pei Zhounan frowned and said: "Master Guhou, this matter is over. I can still change my position, but there can be no more trouble."

Gu Qing withdrew his affectionate gaze and said calmly: "Censor Pei, why do you always say that I am the one causing trouble? Can't you see who caused this? It was obviously the border supervisors who placed spies around me and detained me.

My friends who abused me, as the emperor's envoy, oh, by the way, and Prince Shaobao and Doctor Guanglu, were so insulted by a supervisor, should I swallow my anger?"

Pei Zhounan hesitated for a moment, then said in a weak tone: "At least... the Marquis should not use weapons."

"I brought personal guards, and I didn't allocate troops from the camp. I did it myself when I beat the border supervisors just now. It had nothing to do with anyone. Does this count as using weapons?" Gu Qing stared at Pei Zhounan's eyes,

He said with a smile but not a smile: "Yushi Pei came to Anxi on the order of the emperor, but you have to keep the water level and impartial to convince me. If you don't keep it straight, it will be difficult for you and me to have a peaceful and beautiful future."

Pei Zhounan said sternly: "I will live up to my divine grace by receiving my salary from the emperor. I have seen and heard every word of the memorial written by my official. I have no intention of favoring anyone."

Gu Qing nodded: "That's good. If Pei Yushi is an upright person, you and I can get along better. Although I don't like people who are too upright, you can be an exception."

After speaking, Gu Qing looked at Huangfu Sisi and said, "Come on, I'll take you back to the inn... Do you want to ask the doctor to check on the injury?"

Huangfu straightened his hair and hair and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Marquis. No need. I just have some skin injuries, nothing to do."

So Gu Qing led Huangfu Sisi away from the Jiedushi Mansion. The officials who were watching the excitement from a distance were still gathered in the corridor, whispering among themselves and talking among themselves.

Gu Qing stopped for a moment and suddenly shouted: "Are you all idle? It's fun for women to gossip? Also, you all have seen clearly that the woman next to me is my friend and the shopkeeper of Fuzhi Inn.

If anyone dares to provoke her in the future without opening their eyes, just try."

The officials dispersed in fright, but they remembered Gu Qing's words firmly in their hearts.

In Anxi, even if Gu Qing's words were not an imperial edict, they were at least true to their word. Huangfu Sisi's Fuzhi Inn was firmly remembered in the minds of the officials, and no one dared to provoke it again.

When Gu Qing and Huangfu Sisi walked out of the Jiedushi Residence, Han Jie brought several personal guards and sent Bian Lingcheng into the wing in the backyard. After throwing Bian Lingcheng on the bed, Han Jie and his personal guards

He stood outside with his sword pressed and faithfully carried out Gu Qing's orders. No one was allowed to disturb the rest of the border guards.

…………

After returning to the inn, Gu Qing and Huangfu Sisi walked into the backyard, found a remote private room and went in.

After entering the door, Gu Qing found a place to sit cross-legged and said calmly: "Tell me, at this time, if you hide it anymore, someone will die. What is your origin? What is Bian Lingcheng's intention in burying you next to me?"

Because, I will give an account of everything that needs to be explained.”

Huangfu Sisi looked gloomy and lowered his head in silence for a long time.

Gu Qing smiled: "Just now outside, I told everyone that you were my friend, and I risked my life to offend Bian Lingcheng to rescue you, but you didn't even look at the truth to me? Isn't that too much?

"

Huangfu Sisi bit her lower lip, tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, and suddenly she knelt down facing Gu Qing, lowered her head and said: "Master Hou, if I tell you my story, will you dare to listen? If I still want to tell you my story, I will tell you my story."

If the Marquis files a complaint, will the Marquis dare to accept it?"

Gu Qing was stunned, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Tell me first, can I take your lawsuit? I have to weigh myself first. If you sue me today, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Huangfu Sisi said sadly: "I... my real name is not Du Sisi, but Huangfu Sisi. She is the daughter of Huangfu Weiming, the governor of Hexi Province. In the sixth year of Tianbao, my father Huangfu Weiming was involved in the "Wei Jian case" and was raped.

Li Linfu was framed and sentenced to death by the emperor, and his family members were all executed. When the incident happened, I was secretly taken out of the house by my father's loyal men and fled to the Western Regions, so I escaped."

"Master Marquis, I... am a prisoner of the imperial court. My name is still on the arrest documents of the government, so I have to hide my name and make a living in this small border town. Bian Lingcheng knew my origins and used this to control me and force me to do so.

I seduced the Marquis with the intention of collecting the Marquis' illegal affairs, so I went to the court to impeach him. I was unwilling to submit, so I went to Bian Lingcheng late at night to refuse. Bian Lingcheng became angry and beat me, and also imprisoned me...

…”

Gu Qing took a deep breath, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

I always thought that she had an extraordinary origin, but I didn't expect that a mine was dug out, and the mine was still smoking...

"Imperial offenders of the imperial court" can be big or small. Murder and arson are imperial offenders, and rebellion and rebellion are also imperial offenders. The two natures are completely different.

Gu Qing would rather Huangfu Sisi was a fugitive who committed murder and arson, and he could easily erase it, but the "Wei Jian case" Huangfu Sisi mentioned was a typical political case involving court battles, which would be a big trouble.

.

What happened to the "Wei Jian case"?

To put it simply, Huangfu Weiming was the governor of Hexi Province six years ago in Tianbao, and had a close friendship with Wei Jian, the Minister of Punishment at that time. Wei Jian also had another identity, that is, the brother-in-law of Prince Li Heng, and was an undisputed princeling.

Of course, Huangfu Weiming, who was friends with Wei Jian, was also a princeling. The situation in the court at that time was that Li Linfu was the right prime minister, and his power was overwhelming. The prime minister at that time was severely attacking the East Palace, but the two sides were in a bloody turmoil despite the calm.

Sharpening the knife, waiting for the opportunity to fatally strike the opponent.

At the end of Tianbao's fifth year, Huangfu Weiming went to Chang'an to pay his respects. This heartless man did something that left people speechless.

He suggested to Li Longji face to face that Li Linfu was not suitable to be prime minister, and it was better to let Wei Jian be the prime minister.

Those who have never experienced the cruelty of power struggles will never know how turbid the water in the Chang'an court is. Huangfu Weiming made this suggestion to Li Longji without hesitation, and then happily left the palace to celebrate the New Year.

Naturally, the news could not be hidden from Li Linfu, so Li Linfu secretly hated Huangfu Weiming and waited for the opportunity to take revenge.

The time will come soon.

Just after the New Year, during the Lantern Festival in the sixth year of Tianbao, Huangfu Weiming did something unknown. He made an appointment with Wei Jian to visit Chang'an and enjoy the lanterns. The two of them were like a pair of good friends who have ended a long-distance relationship.

, visited half of Chang’an city.

So Li Linfu finally seized the opportunity.

After the Lantern Festival, Li Linfu mobilized Yang Guozhong, Wang Xian, Ji Wen and others to impeach Huangfu Weiming and Wei Jian, accusing them of having "private relationships with border generals".

Wei Jian was the Minister of Punishment, and Huangfu Weiming was the Governor of Hexi Province. This crime was well deserved. For Li Longji, a suspicious emperor, it was never allowed for courtiers to form secret alliances with generals, so the Wei Jian case broke out.

, on the surface it was a charge of having an affair with a general, but in fact Li Longji was directly targeting the prince Li Heng, and the reason for targeting Li Heng was very crude.

As long as I live for one day, you will always be the prince, don't even think about taking the lead.

This case involves not only Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, but also many Eastern Palace ministers and courtiers. There are dozens of people accused by Li Longji. As direct parties to the case, Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming are sitting on the case.

After he was found guilty, he was sentenced to death immediately, and his family members were executed.

Gu Qing didn't expect to meet Huangfu Weiming's daughter in this small border town. What's even more terrible is that Bian Lingcheng actually knew her identity.

Gu Qing suddenly realized that he was in big trouble.

"We...can we just pretend we've never known each other?" Gu Qing looked at Huangfu Sisi's sobbing face and said dryly: "You continue to be your innkeeper and imperial prisoner, and I, continue to be my governor.

When we met in Kucha City, we passed by each other without saying hello or smiling..."
