The two of them discussed the plan in a few words. At this time, someone brought wine and food. The two of them shut their mouths with tacit understanding.

The wine and food were all served, and the two sat at the table. Li Fu poured wine for the two of them, but did not let the others in. The madam was a little unhappy.

"Two young masters, it's fine if you say you're taking care of the girls yourself, but you're going to take us..."

Halfway through the words, the madam's eyes were attracted by a pearl, and she reached out to get it, but was suddenly grabbed by Guo Hao.

"Shut up your mouth, I will do whatever I want. You'd better meddle in other people's business and give you a lot of money!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Chen, please be happy."

After saying that, Guo Hao let go, the madam grabbed the pearl, walked out happily, and closed the door.

It felt like everyone had left. Before the two of them could speak, Li Fu spoke first: "That's a good pearl, just give it to me if you say it..."

Seeing Li Fu like this, Guo Hao was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Our Fu'er is jealous. Isn't it just a pearl? I still have many in there, and the box is all yours!"

Following the direction of Guo Hao's finger, Li Fu really saw a box, which was what Chen Zhi gave him. Li Fu walked over and saw that he was a little surprised.

"Where did you get so much jewelry!"

"It was all given by Chen Zhi. In order to bribe me, a playboy, just from these jewelry and behavior, Chen Zhi must have problems."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded with a smile, and had confirmed the relationship between Li Fu and Guo Hao. Although he was a little disappointed, he was not the one with the affectionate love of his children.

"Although the elder brother is trying to cover up, why do you want to live here and bring Miss Fu'er in? Isn't it a bit..."

Guo Hao understood what Zhao Kuangyin meant, but he had his own thoughts: "I did it because I had no choice but to do so. Chen Zhi had been in Kaifeng for many years and must have been deeply rooted. If I want to investigate him, I must let him relax his vigilance.

If I live in another place, he will definitely send someone to stare at me. This will make many things inconvenient, but it is different here. There are many people and eye-catching things.

Even if someone stares at me, his attention will be attracted. Although it is a bit risky to do so, the most dangerous places are the safest."

“The most dangerous place is the safest…”

Zhao Kuangyin savored this sentence and suddenly felt that every word Guo Hao said and everything he did was meaningful and never did useless work.

"Brother, I admire you for your care. If you have any needs, just tell me."

Guo Hao thought for a while after hearing this, and said, "Since you are willing to help, I'm not polite. You have to help me check whether Chen Zhi has anything to do with the government!"

"good!"

After finishing the matter, Guo Hao asked where he went today. Zhao Kuangyin did not hide it and asked Guo Hao’s future plans.

"Let me become an official in the court? I won't go. I suffered a loss in Jiangnan before. I can't make the same mistake twice. If you don't have military power these days, it's equivalent to giving a knife to someone else!"

"So, brother wants to join the army? I'm just thinking about this, we can work together!"

Guo Hao knew that Zhao Kuangyin joined the army, but what he thought was not to charge, but to give advice. He was also leading troops, but his methods were different.

"I do have this intention, but what I want to be a military advisor, not a general. Marines and wars are not a joke. You should be careful with your sword without eyes."

"I know, I'm so happy that my brother can have this idea. You and my brother are both literary and military. With the talent of my brother, it's not difficult to make achievements!"

"hehe."

Guo Hao was calm on the surface, but he was a little excited in his heart. He had been waiting for this day for so long!

If nothing unexpected happens, Lao Zhao will go to join Guo Wei next, and he will follow him. If he can be a staff officer, he will be a staff officer. If he really doesn't do it, he will not be able to fight.

However, in Guo Hao's situation, the real commander does not need to go into battle in person. Sometimes a plan can determine victory or defeat!

The two of them were looking forward to it and decided to go to Guo Wei after the matter was over. With Zhao Hongyin's face, Guo Wei would probably not refuse.

After eating and drinking, Zhao Kuangyin left Chunxiang Tower. The two of them rested and prepared for the evening action.

That night, Guo Hao came to Chen Zhi's house wearing a night-distanced clothes. Zhao Kuangyin had been waiting for a long time. The two of them climbed over the wall and entered the yard and went straight to Chen Zhi's study.

It was quiet at night, and the two of them had a very soft voice. When they entered the room, Guo Hao began to look for evidence.

However, after searching for a long time, he found no valuable clues. It seems that he underestimated Chen Zhi. People who can survive in troubled times are indeed not simple.

Since it was not found, Guo Hao and the others had to go back. When Zhao Kuangyin investigated, there might be some progress.

The next afternoon, Zhao Kuangyin sent a message saying that there was news from the other two stores and they did not receive tea. Chen Zhi's suspicion was completely confirmed.

But even so, the person behind the scenes still doesn't know that if Chen Zhi is rashly taken down, he will definitely offend that person.

So Guo Hao could only tolerate it for the time being, and at the same time wrote a letter to Chen Lin, asking him to send some inferior tea leaves to see what Chen Zhi would react.

...

Liu Chengyou's confidant came to report to Kaifeng Palace.

"Your Majesty, you have investigated it clearly. The young man Chen Zhi followed was Chen Jun. He was the eldest son of the Chen family in Jiangnan and the elder brother of the head of the Chen family.

That Chen Ji grocery store is the Chen family's shop, but it has been run by Chen Zhi over the years. Chen Zhi and Wang Zhang colluded with each other and have already put the Chen family in vain.

In the past, Chen Lin came to check the accounts and was fooled by Chen Zhi. Since Chen Zhi is from the southern country, it is difficult for him to investigate. This time, he sent Chen Jun to come, and probably had given up this store."

"Oh? What kind of person is that Chen Jun?"

"From the observations these days, he is just a playboy, and he indulges in wine and sex every day, as if he is here to play."

"So, it's just a waste? The Chen family is a big family in Jiangnan. How could they send waste to continue to watch? Report any situation to me at any time."

"Yes! Your Majesty, my subordinates have discovered another situation that may help His Majesty judge."

"speak!"

"It's the one Chen Jun seems to know Zhao Kuangyin, the eldest son of the Zhao family. The madam from Chunxianglou said that the two have a good relationship and they are drinking together."

"Zhao Kuangyin? Zhao Hongyin's son? What's the matter with the Zhao family? That's interesting..."

Liu Chengyou now had a headache when he thought of those ministers. The ministers in the court were all convinced and dissatisfied, and the governors from all sides basically held their own troops.

Wang Jingsui, Zhao Siwan and Li Shouzhen had already rebelled. Liu Chengyou was thinking about who to send to fight. Zhao Hongyin was one of the candidates, but the imperial guards were not easily dispatched.

"Continue to check and see what they are going to do. If they want to deal with Wang Zhang, just help them!"

"yes."

Zhao Hongyin cannot be dispatched easily, Guo Wei cannot do it for the time being. The only one left is Guo Congyi. He is the most suitable candidate. If it doesn't work, let Zhao Hongyin go out.

As for Li Shouzhen, let Bai Wenke go first. If he can't take it, he will let Guo Wei fight with illness. This is the most reasonable arrangement.

It is really not easy to govern a country, and both internal and external matters need to be considered. Liu Chengyou especially wants to politically gangs of ministers, so if Wang Zhang makes a mistake, this is an opportunity!

...

Guo Hao didn't know what happened in the palace. If he knew that Liu Chengyou knew about it, he would probably give up the investigation.

But he didn't know, so he was once again involved in the struggle. Zhao Kuangyin told Su Yugui about this. Su Xiang still had a certain degree of strength. Three days later, they got the news that it was Wang Zhang.

"I didn't expect that the person Chen Zhi colluded with was really Wang Zhang!"

"Brother, since we already know who it is, let's just take down Chen Zhi. It's useless to keep him anyway."

"No, even if Wang Zhang doesn't care about him, there is no reason to spit out the money he got!

Wang Zhang is the three commander of the government and manages the financial tax burden. If we offend him, our store will just come."

"What should I do? Why don't I ask Su Xiang and ask him to tell us something?"

"No, Wang Zhang and Su Xiang are not the same person, but they have a good relationship with Su Fengji, but Su Fengji will not help us, Su Xiang's strength is still a little weaker after all.

So if we want to take over the shop, Liu must handle Wang Zhang. It is very easy to take down Chen Zhi, but it is difficult to fall in love with Wang Zhang."

"Then what should we do? We can't just keep dragging it on!"

Guo Hao laughed and said, "Of course I won't do this, I've figured out a solution."

"What's the solution?"
