The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

After Luo Qi left the palace, Yan Linyuan asked people to take away the prisoner who spread the rumors.

"The prince asked, is Luo Qi really separated from the Zhu family?" If he dares to send people from the Zhu family to Yan Linyuan, he is clearly going against the Zhu family.

Yan Linyuan's slender fingertips unconsciously turned the fingertips, and there was a dark color in his half-downed eyes that was difficult to conceal.

"If the four major families were to be internally disintegrated so easily, they would not have remained standing for nearly a hundred years."

Lin Fan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, "Your Majesty means that what Luo Qi did was just playing tricks on us."

Yan Linyuan was noncommittal. It was impossible to say that Luo Qi had no complaints against other aristocratic families regarding Luo Ji, but it was absolutely impossible for the Luo family to be stupid for reaching this point.

Even if the other three aristocratic families want to annex the Luo family's territory, they will never do it easily, because they all know that once the four major aristocratic families are torn apart, it will not be so easy to unite again.

Luo Qi's current behavior is very likely to be in collusion with the Zhu family.

The rumor was indeed spread by people from the Zhu family, but if this matter is not directly related to the Zhu family, they can introduce a scapegoat. This can also show to the Luo family that the Zhu family is firmly committed to the coexistence of the four major families. .

Their superficial torment was just to show him, just to make him feel that the Luo family was now isolated and helpless and anxious to find their master. In this way, he would naturally choose to believe Luo Qi.

Luo Qi arrested the person and presented the evidence in order to show his loyalty to Yan Linyuan and gain his trust.

If Yan Linyuan really believed in him and asked him to do something to deal with the other three aristocratic families, then he would probably fall into their hands with fatal consequences.

"What this king wants to do is to use his tactics to completely disintegrate them."

"The Qinzhou Dam corruption case is a breakthrough. Have you found out what you sent people to investigate?"

"Go back to your lord, the spies are still investigating."

"The sooner the better."

"Yes."

……

After Luo Qi left the palace, he got on the carriage. The carriage stopped for a moment while passing through an alley, and then the carriage left all the way back to Luofu.

But half an hour later, Luo Qi appeared in Mr. Zhu's study.

In the study room, the eight-open screen with a tiger descending down the mountain is lifelike. Behind the screen, the figure of Mr. Zhu sitting in the rocking chair is looming.

"Mr. Zhu, the matter has been settled. Judging from the look on the regent's face, he should have believed me."

Mr. Zhu slowly stood up from the rocking chair and said, "Come on."

Luo Qi walked around the screen and came to Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu pushed a brochure in front of him, "There is such a big flaw in the Qinzhou Dam. It will be difficult to calm down the anger of the people and the anger of the regent without pushing a few people out. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Take a look. Who among the people here is more suitable?"

Luo Qi heard this and opened the book. Each page contained a detailed record of whose hands the money for repairing the dam had passed through in the past three years.

From the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs to the low-income children who work abroad, everyone's position and family background are clearly written.

"At least five to ten, you choose."

Luo Qi flipped through the roster at a glance. There were dozens of people in it, almost half of whom were from the four major families.

"What Mr. Zhu means is, let me choose, who will die?"

Mr. Zhu nodded, "You are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. You know better than me how these people climbed to that position, so it is most appropriate for you to come."

Mr. Zhu is giving the Luo family a favor. Even if he picks people from the other three aristocratic families, Mr. Zhu will never let those people voice any doubts or objections.

"This...I don't know what Mr. Zhu thinks."

Mr. Zhu returned to the chair and sat down, "No, just make sure you know what's going on."

Luo Qi naturally didn't want to let go of the opportunity to bring down this person who didn't get along with him.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu."

Dr. Zhu, the old doctor, waved his hand nonchalantly, "I remember that you have something to do with that Gu family." Luo Qi thought for a moment and then remembered which Gu family it was.

"Yes, Gu Mingsheng often liked to get close to the juniors before."

"Since he is so positive, give him a chance to perform."

Mr. Zhu motioned to Luo Qi to come closer.

After Luo Qi walked over, Mr. Zhu whispered in his ear.

Luo Qi nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, this junior knows what to do."

"Well, go ahead."

After Luo Qi retreated, Zhu Liqun walked in from another secret door.

"Can father be sure that Luo Qi has no second thoughts?"

"In this power arena, you can't expect anyone to be loyal to you forever. All you have to do is weigh the pros and cons. When you want to use him, give him what he wants. If he wants it, he will be loyal to you."

Zhu Liqun suddenly realized that he felt that he still had a lot to learn from his father.

……

After that night in July and a half, Gu Jiancheng took a few days off and never went to the office.

When her family asked her what was wrong, he only said that she was too tired that night and that he needed to rest at home for a few days.

But Gu Mengyin noticed that something was wrong with his expression, so she kept him after breakfast.

"Did you get bitten by a ghost that night?"

Gu Jiancheng was shocked and didn't know how Gu Mengyin could tell.

"I accidentally got bitten."

Gu Mengyin's face wrinkled, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Show me where the wound is."

Gu Jiancheng was so startled that he almost jumped out of the door.

"No, no, no, no, aunt, it's okay. I'm just getting old and I haven't recovered all of a sudden."

Gu Mengyin shook her head seriously and said: "This has nothing to do with age. Those people were possessed by evil spirits at that time, which is equivalent to you being bitten by a evil ghost. It is poisonous and must be removed with special medicine, otherwise you will be bitten." The place will slowly fester, causing harm to the whole body.”

Gu Jiancheng didn't expect it to be so serious.

"I'll ask Tuan Yuan to deliver medicine to you later. Remember to wipe it three times a day. It will be enough for seven days."

"Thank you, aunt."

While they were talking, the maid who had delivered the message came outside the door and said that Gu Mingsheng was here.

Ever since the last visit to the ancestral graves was cleared up with them, they had never taken the initiative to get involved with that family. What was Gu Mingsheng going to do now?

"What is he here for?"

The maid said: "I said I came to see my great aunt."

Gu Jiancheng's brows furrowed even more tightly. How long had it been since his aunt came back? They hadn't mentioned anything about visiting her. Now, why would she come to visit her?

Gu Jiancheng asked Gu Mengyin's opinion, "Auntie, do you want to meet me?"

Gu Mengyin raised her eyebrows and said, "Did you come empty-handed?"

"When I return to my great aunt, I come with gifts."

"Then let him in."

"Yes."
