The territory of Daqian is vast, reaching Canghai in the east, barren hills in the north, desert soil in the west, and ancient mountains in the south.

After Shenzong descended, the world was divided into nine states and state capitals were established.

Liangzhou General Secretary, Gu Feifan.

As a feudal official who was in charge of military affairs, Li Mo heard this name for the first time, but he felt very familiar.

"Gu Feifan...Gu Pingfan...these two people can't..."

Li Mo murmured softly and couldn't help but look at Gu Changan.

The name of the head of the Hongmen clan is Gu Pingfan, and the name of the general manager of Liangzhou is Gu Feifan.

Of these two people, one is the head of Hongmen, one of the eight gates of Xuantian Pavilion, and the other is a feudal official who dominates Liangzhou, comparable to the local emperor.

The names are so similar, Li Mo doesn't think there is such a coincidence in the world.

"You must have guessed it too."

Gu Changan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Our Lord General, and the Hong Clan Master are close brothers from the same country."

"He is the second eldest son in the family, and all the wealthy people in Liangzhou call him Gu Er behind their backs."

"It turns out that he is the younger brother of the sect leader..." Li Mo felt much more relaxed after hearing this.

After all, he was also a disciple of Hongmen. He was selected by Gu Pingfan after going through the selection and assessment of all the sects in the world.

Later, when he entered Hongmen, he received a lot of support and care from the sect leader, and he could be said to be half one of his own.

"I advise you not to be so happy first."

Gu Changan looked at the expression on Li Mo's face and couldn't help but remind him.

"What do you mean?"

"A brother is a brother, a brother is a brother... Our Lord General is not the head of the Hong Clan... And I heard that they have not been in contact with each other for many years." Gu Changan said calmly.

"What? Is there a rift between their brothers?" Li Mo was interested and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know this..."

Gu Changan shook his head. After all, he was just a small official who stuck to Qingchan City. Compared with a frontier official like Gu Feifan, there were still many levels between them, so how could he know the secrets of the other party.

"I just heard that eighteen years ago, the three brothers were in the Xuantian Pavilion in the capital together... After that year, their fates began to change and they took different paths... Gu Er left the capital and went far away. …”

"Three brothers!?" Li Mo was stunned for a moment and interrupted Gu Changan's words.

"Yes, they are three brothers. Gu Pingfan, the leader of Hongmen, is the elder brother, and Gu Feifeixing, the general secretary of Liangzhou... I heard that there is also a youngest brother... In the Xuantian Pavilion back then, his talent The tallest, even more dazzling than my two brothers."

Gu Changan spoke softly.

When you are in the officialdom, you must not have any understanding of your boss's situation. Otherwise, if you accidentally break a taboo one day, you may die without knowing how.

It's just these unconfirmed rumors that he bought with real money.

"What about their third child!?" Li Mo couldn't help but ask.

The eldest son, who was not as talented as he was, became the leader of Hongmen, and the second son became the chief minister of Liangzhou...

Among the three brothers, the third one with the most talent should have achieved something.

It has to be said that this family has no idea how they gave birth. The ancestral grave was on fire, and the seeds they gave birth to were all so outstanding. It is unimaginable.

"I don't know about this... It seems that this person no longer exists, and I haven't heard anyone mention it in the official circles... It is rumored that the youngest of the Gu family has died a long time ago... He died eighteen years ago, after the great fire in the capital.

middle……"

"Eighteen years ago, a fire hit the capital..." Li Mo murmured to himself, thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Changan's voice brought Li Mo back from his thoughts.

"I didn't expect that there are so many secrets in their family... If I sell it to the tabloid of Zhengyi Bookstore, I will definitely make a lot of money." Li Mo grinned and said with a casual smile.

Ordinary people are still very interested in the privacy of these big shots, especially when it comes to sex and ethics. They are extremely curious.

When an adult in any family gives birth to a son, they can talk about it in the streets for half a month, let alone such exciting news.

"If you want to die, don't drag me with you." Gu Changan rolled his eyes at Li Mo and said calmly.

"Liangzhou is no better than the capital city...the capital city has more noble people and more rules...here...the feudal officials are the local emperors...you can drown a group of people by spitting..."

The Liangzhou General Secretary can use many more methods than the Hongmen Clan Master. The most important thing is that the two have different bottom lines and are subject to different constraints.

To put it bluntly, Gu Er’s methods of amassing money alone would make the Hongmen clan leader cry and chase after him.

When it comes to making money, Li Mo's eyes can't help but light up.

"How much did he get!?"

"Can you tell me how much he made?" Gu Changan said a little speechlessly: "Let's put it this way, have you seen my business in the city?"

"Dead?"

Li Mo thought of the funeral parlor located on [Touqi Road]. On the surface, it was engaged in the business of funerals, but secretly, it was also engaged in the business of robbing tombs.

Gu Changan resold the treasures he stole from the Huangqiu Tomb through [Is He Dead], and he made a free income every year.

Because of this, he can practice the [Dream Eternal Skill] smoothly. Otherwise, if he had practiced this mysterious skill, he would have gone shopping for underpants.

"Let me tell you clearly, I only account for 30% of the net profit of the business there."

"Ah!?" Li Mo was stunned for a moment: "Who will take the big head?"

"Of course it's up there."

Gu Changan raised his hand and said: "Do you think that anyone who can find a piece of land in Beimang's hundreds of thousands of barren hills can be buried?"

"No formalities are required for land approval? No approval is required for buying and selling land? In addition, there are various taxes... Which ones do not need to be dealt with?"

"This is still a business on the surface...stealing...the treasures excavated by archeology, without taking care of them, do you want to sell them to the market?"

Speaking of this, Gu Changan couldn't help but sneer: "You were released the first day and squatted in the kiln the next day."

"Only when the top and bottom are tied to the same profit line can this kind of business be safe and secure."

At this point, Gu Changan came up to Li Mo and whispered: "The big deal here must have fallen into the hands of the Chief... but he doesn't know it yet."

"have no idea!?"

"How big is Liangzhou? What is Qingchan City? My small profit is insignificant to him, and he will do it if the people below him say it will be done... But he doesn't know that you have to give it... otherwise, if you don't give it in the future,

If something goes wrong, you can only seek happiness for yourself..."

Gu Changan has been in the officialdom for many years and has done a lot of things overtly and covertly, so he knows the ropes very well.

Third-rate business relies on money and goods, second-rate business relies on resources, and first-rate business relies on connections.

"The great road is all within it..."

At this moment, Gu Changan looked so enigmatic that even Li Mo felt like he was shining.

"Sure enough, avenues are everywhere...talents."

Li Mo sighed leisurely, changed the subject, and suddenly asked: "Why did you take me with you when you went to the state capital to report on your work?"

Gu Changan was summoned because of the destruction of Duwang Mountain. Logically speaking, it should have nothing to do with Li Mo, so there was no need to bring him along with him.

"You know whether it matters or not."

Gu Changan glanced sideways. Before Li Mo arrived, Qingchan City could be said to be in good weather and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

But since he arrived, the troubles haven't stopped.

"You are originally an official appointed by the imperial court, and you have been registered in the state capital... It is normal for you to be called over." Gu Changan said casually.

After all, in the eyes of the state government, officials who have been judged by others are still persons waiting to be punished, and it is appropriate to conduct regular reviews every once in a while.

"When will we set off?" Li Mo pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Tomorrow morning."

Gu Changan has made all preparations. He came to Li Mo today just to inform him.

…

That night, Li Mo returned to Biyouju and made arrangements.

This time when he went out, he only took his pipa with him, while all the other demons and ghosts stayed in Qingchan City.

The main reason is that Xie Pipa has a special status. After all, she was the owner of Duwang Mountain and the owner of the Bottomless Cave before. This happened just now, so Li Mo is not too relieved about her.

The most important thing is that the atmosphere in Biyou Residence has been delicate recently, especially Zhu Gangxi, who maintains a deep hostility towards this newcomer.

Li Mo was afraid that if something went wrong without him, no one would be able to suppress them, and Qingchan City would be gone when he came back.

You know, back then, these guys dared to rob and kill even the masters of Yulongtai, who were the royal internal guards.

"Try to talk as little as possible this time when I go to [Jiujiang Prefecture] with me, you know?"

In the early morning, as soon as a hint of fish belly white appeared in the east, Li Mo waited at the city gate with his lute.

Before Gu Changan came, he did not forget to warn him.
