The Epic Revenge Chapter 389: The giant web of conspiracy
Gu Qingzhou's spring banquet is scheduled for the tenth day of February, which is the earliest spring banquet in Yuecheng.
Actually, the Spring Banquet in Yuecheng has to wait for Qingming every year, so Gu Qingzhou is half a month ahead of schedule.
"She's a new hostess and can't wait to show off." Someone was talking about her behind her back.
"The weather is warm this year, so it would be nice to have an early dinner! Otherwise, I will be bored at home this February."
"Yes, it's better to start early and miss the rainy season."
In short, Gu Qingzhou's banquet was praised and criticized, but no one would refuse.
Gu Qingzhou's family sent invitations and visited the families of seven or eight high-ranking officials.
She has a gentle personality. Those wives don't have the kind of respect for Mrs. Si. They treat her like a child and like her very much.
After three days, Gu Qingzhou collected some information.
She visited so many people just to hide her eyes and ears. She really wanted to visit the family members of Li Mingan, Zhou Chengyu and Huang Cheng.
She did it very well, too.
After the invitation was delivered, Gu Qingzhou handed over the rest to Mrs. Yan, and began to organize and lay the groundwork.
She's going to use a trick to catch the insider.
Almost done, just waiting for the bait on the day of the banquet.
When Gu Qingzhou was eating, he held his cheeks and meditated.
Si Mu asked: "Isn't everything going well?"
He thought Gu Qingzhou was in trouble.
Gu Qingzhou shook her head: "When I was arranging things yesterday, I suddenly had an idea..."
"What thoughts?"
"Is there a pair of hands behind the back for everything?" Gu Qingzhou said, "Look at the recent events, every one is directed at the military government. How can there be such a coincidence?"
Simus frowned.
"You mean..."
"I mean, maybe, we never caught the real mastermind." Gu Qingzhou said.
Simu's scalp was slightly numb.
In the case of Nie Yun, Minister Wu of the Political Department and Li Wenzhu conspired, this matter is related to their interests and can destroy the military government at the same time; Wei Qingjia wants to marry Simu, saying that she has no ambition, just wants to be a wife, no too fit.
Mrs. Dong wants to harm Gu Qingzhou, but also to make Yan Xinnong and Si Mu turn against each other, Dong Jinxuan is more beneficial to control the military government.
Today's inner ghosts set up a trap to make Simu fall into the trap of betraying the country, with the military government behind him.
"You mean, someone wants to take over Yuecheng's power?" Simu asked.
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
She froze suddenly, with a chill behind her: "Everything is for the military government, so my master and nurse..."
The matter of the master and the wet nurse caused Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei to turn against each other, and Si Xingpei was expelled from Yuecheng; Nanjing suddenly established the headquarters of the three armies temporarily, and the commander-in-chief left Yuecheng.
With two brains gone, the military government in Yuecheng is now like a leaderless group.
After being provoked by someone with a heart, or if something major happens, those division leaders may leave with their own troops, and the Yuecheng military government will exist in name only.
"Simu, if this is a trap, there must be a particularly huge force behind it!" Gu Qingzhou said.
With that, the two of them fell into deep thought.
They both seem to be thinking about one thing at the same time.
Afterwards, they were all silent.
When the silence reached a certain level, Gu Qingzhou stood up: "I'm going to sleep first."
Simus is still thinking.
Gu Qingzhou was lying in the bed, her thoughts were surging, and she couldn't hold back her emotions.
She thought of Nanny and Master, as well as Si Xingpei.
In the next few days, Gu Qingzhou carefully combed and studied the four people, Yan Xinnong, Li Mingan, Zhou Chengyu and Huang Cheng.
She said to Sim: "First of all, I trust the foster father the most. I want to rule out his suspicion. Of course, I didn't reveal half a word; I treat the other three people equally."
Simus glanced at her.
Si Mu did not make a statement on this matter.
Si Mu even thought: "If Yan Xinnong wants to take down the military government, wouldn't it be better for him to drive out Si Xingpei and the commander-in-chief to leave Yuecheng?"
Seeing that he was silent, Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I know, the adopted father seems to be more suspicious of this incident, because everyone with discernment knows that the adopted father may benefit the most.
But that's often the case. The person who seems most likely to benefit is the blindfold. My adoptive father looked the most likely, which just meant he could be excluded. "
Si Mu finally said, "Do you trust your foster father?"
"My vision can't be wrong." Gu Qingzhou said.
Si Mudao: "Then you misread Si Xingpei?"
Gu Qingzhou was silent.
For a moment of silence, she did not evade.
As she said last time, Si Xingpei is not a snake, they don't need to avoid him.
Si Mu doesn't need it, and Gu Qingzhou doesn't even need it.
It's like a wound, covered tightly, it may fester, and the more it hides, the worse it gets.
"I can't be right about everything. This doesn't make me lose my confidence in trusting others." Gu Qingzhou said, "I still trust my foster father!"
Seeing that she was determined, Si Mu no longer refuted her.
On the tenth day of the second lunar month, there was a drizzle under the sky.
In a spring rain, the courtyard was washed clean, and the light brown branches were given a thin layer of green makeup. If you look at it from a distance, you can see the new shoots.
Spring blossoms come, and all things revive.
The flower hall in the outer courtyard of Gu Qingzhou's house has already built a long canopy, extending from the flower hall to the gate.
The thin rain was getting heavier and heavier. By the end of the evening, it was raining heavily, with lightning and thunder.
"The weather is bad today." Yan Luoshui said.
Gu Qingzhou smiled: "It's okay, no matter how bad the weather is, they will come, it doesn't matter."
Instead, she felt that God was beautiful.
From time to time guests come in, Gu Qingzhou has learned how to socialize and greet them one by one.
Later, Gu Qingzhou's suspect, Li Mingan, came in with his wife and children.
"Master Li." Gu Qingzhou smiled.
Li Ming'an is very proud, he dismisses Simu, but admires Gu Qingzhou.
In the case of Nie Yun, all the people in the military government saw what Gu Qingzhou did.
So, when Li Mingan knew that the military governor had handed over all the seals of the military government to Gu Qingzhou for safekeeping, Li Mingan was convinced.
"Young madam." Li Ming'an said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"We women's family don't know anything about military affairs, just eat and drink, and don't get tired."
After a few greetings, Li Mingan walked inside with his wife.
Someone came in again.
Afterwards, Gu Qingzhou met her second suspect - staff officer Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng did not bring his wife, but instead brought a beautiful and graceful young concubine.
"Young madam!" Huang Cheng is the opposite of Li Ming'an's arrogance, he is very modest.
His wife is a mainland woman who is still in her hometown. He married a new wife in Yuecheng, who is the one in front of him. He named her the main room, but other people were unwilling to associate with this Mrs. Huang, and named her as "concubine" from their hearts.
The last is Zhou Chengyu.
Zhou Chengyu is a good father and a good husband.
Si Mu said: "The most unlikely person to betray is Zhou Chengyu. Dad saved his life, and his character is loyal, which can be seen from his family."
Of course, among the many senior officials who support Si Xingpei, Zhou Chengyu has always had a good relationship with Si Mu.
Gu Qingzhou excludes Yan Xinnong and Simu excludes Zhou Chengyu, all because of emotions.
Yan Xinnong came last.
"Everyone is here." Gu Qingzhou said to Simu, "How are your preparations?"
Smourdao: "Everything is ready."
At this time, the German arms dealer Zoreger came in.
As soon as Zorig came in, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience.
Yan Xinnong was stunned. His eyes were caught by Simu.
Seeing Yan Xinnong's expression, Simu's heart sank slightly: "Did I really guess it right?"
Zorrig is not as tall as other foreigners, he is relatively short, a head shorter than Simu, and his face is full of beards.
Because he has red hair and beard, and a very obvious hook nose, even if he is not tall, he is particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
Sim can speak German, Zorig has been in China for many years, and he is quite gifted with language, and he can also speak a few words of Chinese.
“Mrs. Si is as beautiful as a daffodil,” Zorig said in Chinese.
Gu Qingzhou doesn't know where his expression came from, with a gorgeous smile: "Thank you."
Yan Xinnong looked this way from time to time.
Gu Qingzhou also noticed it.
Si Mu rolled his eyes at Gu Qingzhou. Gu Qingzhou understood what he meant.
Yan Xinnong's strangeness was the most obvious, while the others did not respond.
Smour takes Zorege to meet other people.
"Qingzhou, have you seen the attitude of the general staff?" Si Mu whispered to Gu Qingzhou, "Maybe..."
There was a cold arc on Gu Qingzhou's lips.
She looked up at Simu.
Zorrig also looked over, and Sim stopped other words.
Zorrig is a businessman who runs a dance hall, so Sim introduced other wealthy businessmen to Zorig. Zorig was accompanied by an interpreter, and he could understand a few words of Chinese himself.
He was able to socialize with other people without Si Mu by his side.
Si Mu then Gu Qingzhou went out.
The rain is still falling, and the rain is getting stronger and stronger.
"Qingzhou, shall we continue?" Simu suddenly asked in a low voice.
Gu Qingzhou looked at him indifferently: "You are such a poor observation!"
It turned out that her unhappiness was directed at him.
Si Mu's attitude disappointed Gu Qingzhou too much.
He is sometimes biased.
Si Mu has suspected Yan Xinnong since Gu Qingzhou said that there was a big mastermind behind it.
Now, being scolded by Gu Qingzhou like this, Si Mu is suddenly enlightened.
He knew why Gu Qingzhou said that his observation skills were poor.
"I understand!" Sim said immediately, "In this case, the adoptive father is the first to be cleared of suspicion!"
Gu Qingzhou hummed.
Yan Xinnong's attitude just shows a fact. This fact just proves that Yan Xinnong is not half suspected.
With a blast of thunder, a sudden rumble exploded in my ear.
After the thunder passed, someone quietly stood behind Gu Qingzhou and Simu.
He didn't come secretly, but the sound of thunder covered his voice and footsteps, and Gu Qingzhou and Simu didn't pay attention. When Gu Qingzhou and Simu found him behind them, they were all startled.
