Thousands of people pointed it out, and it ended without any illness.

Gu Qing finally tasted the feeling of being pointed out by thousands of people, and it felt very uncomfortable.

There was a brief wavering in his firm mind. For a moment, Gu Qing even vaguely blamed himself for being troublesome. If he had not taken the initiative to help the refugees, perhaps the following things would not have happened. Gu Qing and the Anxi Army were still heroes respected by thousands of people. As long as they

If you don't lose your mind, people's hearts will eventually regain their support.

Doing good deeds has no rewards, and things in the world are generally unsatisfactory. If time could be turned back, would Gu Qing still stick to his original choice?

Probably... or so.

It is inevitable that there will be some dissatisfaction and resentment in my heart, but I will still do what I need to do. The conscience of adults will always hurt themselves, and kindness will always be completely wounded by the ignorance of others. But the reason why "kindness" is called "kindness"

"This is because people who do good deeds clearly and firmly know that what they are doing is right.

At Li Twelve Niang's house.

Li Twelve Niang has been very busy recently. She doesn't know what she is busy with, but she is always away from the house.

Gu Qing was welcomed in by a female disciple. After sitting alone in the front hall for a long time, he felt a little hungry, so he ran into the kitchen in the backyard and cooked a few dishes to fill his stomach.

It is taboo to enter other people's backyards, but Li Twelve Niang's home is different. In theory, Gu Qing is half the owner of the house. There are no taboos in the house and Gu Qing is never on guard.

After eating and drinking, Li Twelve Niang hurried back with a tired look on her face. Seeing Gu Qing sitting up and lying on the futon, Li Twelve Niang kicked him angrily.

"You are already a prince, why don't you pay attention to your manners? If the imperial censor sees this, he will read your book again for no reason."

Gu Qing sighed and said: "Aunt Li never mentioned the word 'Censor'. Now my nephew can't help but want to hit someone when he hears 'Censor'..."

Li Twelve Niang chuckled and said, "I heard that the royal censor in the imperial court recently made her look disgraced?"

Gu Qing said slowly: "The word 'disgraced' is not quite accurate. My nephew has a good temper and doesn't get angry. Otherwise, I would chop ten thousand censors into pieces."

Li Twelve Niang sighed and said: "The trend in Chang'an City has been wrong recently. I have been paying attention to it. I don't know what kind of fights are going on in the court, but the reputation of you among the people in the city is getting worse and worse. People seem to have forgotten

Well, back then there were tens of thousands of refugees outside the city, and you were the only one who cared about their life and death. They survived, but they bit you in turn..."

Gu Qing said calmly: "It's not surprising that people's hearts are like this."

Li Twelve Niang stared into his eyes and said, "Do you regret it? Do you regret meddling in this nosy matter?"

"I have no regrets. If I could turn back time, I would still make the same choice even if I knew the consequences." Gu Qing's tone was calm, but his expression was firm.

Li Twelve Niang said with a smile in her eyes: "This is not like you. I heard that when you were in the Anxi Army, you were a decisive and decisive commander. Whenever there was a war, you didn't even take prisoners. You were never soft on the enemy. Once the war started, you would

It’s a posture of killing everyone, why are you so merciful today?”

Gu Qing sighed: "Of course we have to kill all the enemies, otherwise why don't we leave room for them to take revenge? But... the refugees are not enemies, at least I don't think they are enemies. They are just ignorant, and ignorance does not necessarily mean death. Given time, they can return

Township, they can get land, and they are kind-hearted people..."

"When I was in Shiqiao Village, I saw what people's hearts are like. As long as they can eat enough, or even half-full, they are the most honest and peaceful people in the world. They don't dare to fight back even if they are slapped in the face.

That kind of thing, but if you teach them to be hungry, they can do anything if they are hungry. Who can care about their duty of kindness when they are hungry?"

"The same is true for these refugees outside the city today. To be honest, I do feel a little resentful, but I hope to resolve this matter as soon as possible, regain the north as soon as possible, let them return home, and give them land. I like to see their kind and simple side

, so I don’t blame them today because they are hungry.”

Li Twelve Mother looked at him deeply and sighed: "If your parents were still alive, they would be very happy that their children are already indomitable heroes. Heroes not only have to dominate the world, but also endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens."

Gu Qing calmed down and said: "Aunt Li, I have something to ask you today..."

Li Twelve Niang took out a piece of paper, which was filled with densely written words, and handed it to Gu Qing and said: "I know what you are asking for. Rumors have been flying around these days. I have already started to inquire about the case of refugee poisoning outside the city.

There is someone behind the scenes. At present, I have only found the prosecutor's office, and beyond...heh, you know it yourself."

Gu Qing narrowed his eyes: "Procuratorate? Li Fuguo?"

Li Twelve Niang said softly: "As soon as I returned to Chang'an today, a new 'Procuratorate' was set up, which has the responsibility of supervising all the officials and the people in the market. It is interesting to say that the spies and agents employed by the Procuratorate are...

Most of them were found from the markets of Chang'an City, and those people unfortunately had a lot of overlap with my people. I heard the news when the Procuratorate was first established, and their every move was under my sight.

among.”

Gu Qing cast a deep glance at Li Twelve Niang.

Li Twelve Niang has always had a secret intelligence network in Chang'an City. Gu Qing has known about this for a long time. However, this network is too mysterious and has almost never been exposed publicly. Gu Qing has also known Li Twelve Niang for a long time.

This intelligence network is hidden.

When Feng Yu infiltrated the rebels in Anlu Mountain, Gu Qing asked Li Twelve Niang for help. Li Twelve Niang's intelligence network lived up to expectations. In the past few years, all the information Feng Yu has handed over has been through Li Twelve Niang.

information network.

This is also the reason why Gu Qing came to beg Li Twelve Niang today. After being criticized by thousands of people and scolded by everyone, Gu Qing knew that he needed to use Li Twelve Niang's intelligence network at this time.

"About ten days ago, the head of the Procuratorate secretly found a gangster in Chang'an City and asked the gangster to disguise himself as a refugee and sneak into the refugee camp. Before dinner started at the porridge shack outside the city, the gangster wandered over to two large pots and cooked

Several highly toxic medicinal materials such as black grass, raw monkshood, and sunflower were mixed into the porridge. The porridge originally contained meat products such as ginger and garlic. However, no one tasted the peculiar smell after several highly toxic medicinal materials were mixed into it.

Nearly a hundred refugees were poisoned and died."

Gu Qing's face gradually became grim, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.

Li Twelve Niang looked at his expression, sighed, and said: "This matter can definitely be done by the Procuratorate. As for who instigated the Procuratorate, I believe you know better than me and how to deal with it. You can take it yourself."

idea."

Gu Qing rubbed his slightly cold face, sneered a few times, and said: "The Anxi Army has not started killing for a long time, probably because others think we are easy to control."

Seeing the murderous look on Gu Qing's face, Li Twelve Niang hesitated to speak, and finally chose to keep silent.

Gu Qing's expression quickly returned to normal and said: "Aunt Li, leave that poisonous scoundrel to me."

Li Twelve Niang nodded: "Okay, I have already captured him, and he is waiting for you to come."

Gu Qing thought for a while and then said: "There is also the Procuratorate of Li Fuguo. I want the complete roster."

"Okay, I'll give it all to you."

After a pause, Li Twelve Niang suddenly said: "That Feng Yu, when do you plan to call him back?"

Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Aunt Li, it's not that I don't want to recall him. That kid himself refuses to come back, so I just have to give him twelve gold medals. The more he lives behind enemy lines, the better he gets, and he refuses to come back. What can I do?

.”

Li Twelve Niang raised her lips slightly and said: "After Feng Yu comes back, I will hand over the intelligence network under my command to him. I have been tired over the years. Feng Yu is a good talent. I can rest assured if I leave it to him."

Gu Qing blinked: "Wouldn't it be better to leave it to me? I'm more talented than Feng Yu."

Li Twelve Niang rolled her eyes at him and said: "You are a majestic general, with a hundred thousand tigers, wolves, and warriors under your command. Can you take care of me if I entrust you with this little family fortune? Why don't you give it to Feng Yu? His ability

I appreciate it very much. Shiqiao Village is really a treasure land of Feng Shui and has produced a lot of talents. Song Gensheng and Jingzhao Prefect are also good at it. They are much better than Leng Touqing back then."

Glancing at Gu Qing with her almond-shaped eyes, Li Twelve Niang chuckled and said: "From now on, I won't care about anything anymore, and Feng Yu will take care of you. Back then, you said you would take care of me until the end of my life. Does this still count?"

Gu Qing said seriously: "Of course it counts. My parents are both dead, and Aunt Li is my biological mother. It is my responsibility to provide for you in your old age, and I will never shirk the responsibility."

Li Twelve Niang said happily: "Good boy, I saw you right. I am very satisfied to have a son like you in this life."

Gu Qing coughed twice, and his style of painting suddenly changed: "Aunt Li is still young, not even forty years old. She can't waste her life alone. There is a poem that says, 'The old cow knows that the sunset is late, so there is no need to raise his whip and push forward.'"

Hoof. I heard that during the period of Empress Wu, face-dressing was popular in Luoyang, Chang'an. If Aunt Li doesn't dislike it, you can use it to your advantage with the hundred thousand strong tigers, wolves, and warriors under my nephew's command... Well, you can pick as many as you like... Aunt Li means

How about next?"

Li Twelve Niang's expression suddenly changed, and a wine cup flew towards Gu Qing's face like lightning. Gu Qing was so frightened that he could barely avoid it by shrinking down.

"Get out!" Li Twelve said one word from between her teeth.

…………

Gu Qing walked out of the house in despair, slapped himself gently to punish his bad mouth, and turned to look behind him. Behind him, a short, dejected rogue was being carried by Han Jie.

This was the murderer who poisoned the refugee camp outside the city under the instructions of the Procuratorate.

Gu Qing glanced at him coldly, and ordered Han Jie to send someone to take good care of him. He stood in front of the mansion and thought for a long time. Gu Qing suddenly said: "Let's go to Tai Chi Palace."

Outside the Taiji Palace, starting from the Chengtian Gate and ending at the entire harem, the Shuofang Army took over the defense. Gu Qing was very careful every time he entered the palace. There were already five thousand soldiers from the Divine Shooting Battalion stationed outside the Chengtian Gate. When Gu Qing entered the palace, he had to bring two thousand with him.

The soldiers of the Shenshe Battalion escorted them in.

Today was no exception. When Gu Qing arrived at Tai Chi Palace, Sun Jiushi and two thousand soldiers and horses were already waiting outside Chengtian Gate.

Gu Qing dismounted outside the palace gate and entered on foot, followed closely by the soldiers of the Sharp Shooting Battalion behind him.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Gu Qing passed through Taiji Hall, Ganlu Hall, and arrived at Chengxiang Hall.

After standing outside the palace and waiting for a while, the eunuch came out and respectfully asked Gu Qing to come in.

Gu Qing took off his shoes and took off his sword and entered the palace. He saw Li Heng looking at him with a smile. Gu Qing bowed and saluted after entering the palace.

Li Heng smiled and asked Gu Qing to excuse himself.

"Gu Qing suddenly came to the palace today. Is there something to report?"

Gu Qing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged unjustly. Please make the decision for me."

Li Heng's smile did not change and he said: "What Gu Qing refers to as unjust injustice is..."

"The case of refugee poisoning is believed by both the government and the public to be the work of the officers and men of the Anxi Army under my command. I did good deeds for the country and saved the people, but I was framed by the government and the public. I am not one to swallow my anger. Please severely punish the real culprits, and do not let it go to waste."
