Gu Haoran stared at the constable in front of him with a gloomy face. His whole mood was affected by the news that the constable had just reported back and became very upset.

    Clenched his fists and stared at the night at the end of his line of sight for a long time, he was full of reluctance and said, "everyone close the team. That''s all for tonight."

    The constable agreed. He didn''t dare to look at Gu Haoran''s face and hurried back to give orders.

    Gu Haoran got on the waiting carriage and went back to the city guard''s house without words.

    He got out of the carriage and went straight to his father''s study.

    Gu Yan, the guardian of Heyang City, is in his prime of life.

    If you look at it purely from the appearance, you can be regarded as a refined gentleman, but your eyes are slightly gloomy and somewhat bad.

    "Dad, the plan against that Jiang Fan should not continue. That Jiang Fan just broke into King Wu''s house with people. The key is... There is no conflict in King Wu''s house. The relationship between the two sides is much closer than we expected."

    Just stepped into the study, Gu Haoran couldn''t help but look anxious and said.

    Gu Yan, who was reviewing the official documents in the study, paused. However, the action of reviewing the documents in his hand did not stop. Without raising his head, he said, "what''s the matter? Doesn''t it mean that Jiang Fan only met Zhou he once?"

    "I don''t know. I thought the plan was secure. It was really very smooth at the beginning, but I didn''t think that there were experts around Jiang Fan, so that our people didn''t catch them at the first time. In the follow-up pursuit, I didn''t expect that they would break into King Wu''s house directly."

    Gu Haoran shook his head, and the expression on his face was full of frustration.

    "Since there is a problem with estimation, failure is a matter of course. Don''t worry. Any failure should not affect your confidence."

    "What you should do now is not to be upset and regret, but to reflect on how the failure of this plan can bring you harvest."

    Gu Yan put down the official document being reviewed in his hand, got up and walked to Gu Haoran''s side, stretched out his hand and patted Gu Haoran on the shoulder.

    "Haoran, being a father doesn''t have high expectations for you. You''re not smart enough, and you act too insidiously. It''s difficult to achieve great things. But living in Heyang, you can''t help yourself."

    "Your Majesty, over the years, he has used foreign troops several times, which has led to great loss of the national treasury. This time, the drought is not only Heyang, but almost half a week."

    "There''s enough food to eat now, so I can''t see any problem for the time being. But if God doesn''t rain all the time, let the drought continue. At that time, there will be a shortage of food everywhere, and the imperial court can''t help. God knows what will happen. Once there is a change, Heyang... Will be the first to rush!"

    Speaking of this, Gu Haoran sneered and continued: "the land of Linjia village must be taken down. I''m afraid we don''t have much time left, but this matter may have been noticed by King Wu''s house."

    "This time, King Wu''s house was suddenly involved. Maybe it''s not how deep it has a relationship with Na Jiang Fan. It''s more likely... It''s just that King Wu''s house wants to take this opportunity to deter us. Therefore, the failure of Na Jiang Fan''s action is not a crime of war."

    Gu Haoran frowned and didn''t feel better because of his father''s comfort.

    After thinking about it, he said, "Dad, if it''s really like what you said, what can we do? The king''s house is right there. No matter what we want to do, we''ll have to break our wrists with the king''s house. It''s not a good chance."

    "It''s not that serious. The current situation is like this. No matter what we or Lord Wu''s residence do, we should abide by the minimum rules."

    "Therefore, if we want to get the land of Linjia village, we can only buy it. Even if King Wu''s residence guessed the purpose of getting the land of Linjia village, they can only secretly try to stop it."

    Gu Yan began to pace in the study while talking with his hands on his back.

    It seems quite leisurely to continue: "the law is actually very interesting. Strictly speaking, the law can only restrict those who do not have any right to speak. If they have a little right, they can challenge the law."

    "However, there are exceptions to everything. If the two sides of the conflict have equal strength or have little difference, the role of the law will be infinitely elevated. If they fear each other''s strength, they must limit their tit for tat to a reasonable range."

    "This is the rule! Many times, the rule is not worth mentioning, but many times, the rule is as important as a thousand. The only difference is who is telling you the rule!"

    "This is the situation between us and King Wu''s residence. Although we have no way to take King Wu''s residence, King Wu''s residence also has nothing to do with us."

    Listening to his father''s explanation, Gu Haoran fell into meditation again.

    After a while, he said with some uncertainty: "Well, it all comes down to that Jiang Fan? According to Yan Wui, the food problem in Lin family village was solved by this Jiang Fan. Therefore, only by removing this Jiang fan can we continue to force the master of Lin family village through food. But now King Wu''s house intervenes, how can we deal with that Jiang Fan?"

    "You''re right. Things were inexplicably concentrated on that Jiang Fan. A poor scholar who had never heard of before suddenly became the focus of the struggle between us and King Wu''s residence. I believe our wise highness King Wu certainly didn''t expect this sudden change."

    Gu Yan nodded and then said, "there are good and bad things about this kind of thing. The disadvantage is that all the problems focus on one person, which makes the person concerned by too many eyes, so it is much more difficult to start secretly."

    "The advantage is... Since the problem is concentrated, there is no need to distract from other links. As long as this person is solved, everything will be fine. It can only be said that this Jiang fan is unlucky. Anyway, he must die."

    Gu Haoran scratched his head and said in distress, "but Dad, how do you want to kill him?"

    "I don''t have a clue for the time being, but based on my understanding of his highness King Wu, since things have changed like this at present, his highness King Wu will not turn a blind eye. He must try to make use of this change to muddy the water. So let''s wait for his highness King Wu to make a move, see what his highness King Wu plans to do, and then think of a way to deal with it."

    Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and then said, "in addition, you meet Yan Wu me in private. I always think he has hidden something from us. It''s just an ordinary village. Why is it so troublesome to buy a piece of land? We don''t give money!"

    Gu Yan''s tone sounded a little oppressed. Gu Haoran didn''t dare to answer. He nodded quickly.
