Chapter 151: Hints
Xu Chongzhi went to bed early, and he was buried in the affairs of the yamen for several days, which already made him tired, not to mention looking at those big monks tremblingly, he used all his strength for Lin'an. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Chongzhi soon fell asleep, and in a daze, he dreamed that he had received the paperwork that he was about to be transferred to the capital, and he was overjoyed, but he heard someone say: "Xu Chongzhi should not be transferred." β
The voice was Old Madam Ye.
Old Madam Ye's face was full of anger, and she asked him with a blue face, "Xu Chongzhi, have you done what I asked you to do?"
Xu Chongzhi's heart seemed to be pulled out of his chest all of a sudden, but the whole person fell into the darkness, he opened his eyes in fright, and before he could fully wake up, he felt someone pushing him, "Master, are you having a nightmare." β
The maid brought a lamp into the door, the room lit up, and Xu Chongzhi saw Mrs. Xu's concerned expression.
It turned out to be just a dream, and it turned out to be so real.
Xu Chongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, probably because he thought too much about it on weekdays, so he dreamed of this situation.
The maid walked out lightly, and Xu Chongzhi told Mrs. Xu about the dream.
Mrs. Xu said: "Old Mrs. Ye is also a strong man, if our aunt and grandmother don't return, the Xu family still has room to speak, but now it's ......."
"What nonsense," Xu Chongzhi said, "Who is the big return?" This matter has not been clarified yet, how can the Gu family decide it casually, the Gu family is now unscrupulous, and when the Pei family suffers a loss, they will definitely ask us for help. β
The Gu family didn't know anyone else in Hangzhou City.
Who will speak for the little Gu family, and who will stand on his side, no wonder the Gu family is going to fall, the old lady Gu is getting older and more confused.
As soon as Xu Chongzhi thought of this, the Xu family came in and said, "Master, a messenger came from the mansion, saying that something happened in Qiantang, and the prefect had rushed over, and he also asked the master to go immediately." β
Xu Chongzhi said: "Did you say what happened?"
The subordinates of the Xu family thought for a while, "The errand officer said in a hurry, it seems that the Gu family and the Pei family had a fight, and as a result, someone died." β
Someone died.
Xu Chongzhi's eyes lit up immediately, there was a death in the Qiantang River, the matter did not happen in Lin'an, and he would not be the first to be held accountable.
After thinking about it, the Gu family and the Pei family fought, and it was naturally the Gu family who suffered, did the lives also lie with the Gu family......
"That's right," the Xu family thought of the key, "The man also said that the eldest lady of the Gu family seemed to be forced to jump into the river by the Imperial City Division. β
Xu Chongzhi stood up, so it was Gu Langhua who died.
Lang Hua died.
Mrs. Xu realized what was going on and covered her mouth in surprise, "Langhua...... Could it be Langhua...... How could she come to Hangzhou at such a young age, how could she go to the Qiantang River to make trouble with the Pei family," she said, raising her head, "Do you want to tell your aunt and grandmother about this." β
Xu Chongzhi couldn't help but guess, the prefect asked him to go, would it be to deal with the affairs of the Gu family, if Gu Langhua died, the Gu family would definitely not give up, but Master Pei was the messenger who came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to investigate the case this time, if Pei Sigongzi went to prison because of this, he would have a grudge against the Pei family.
So when he arrives at the Qiantang River in a while, he must act at the opportunity, at least have an attitude in this matter.
The Xu family has nothing to do with the Gu family.
The Gu family must not have a good result for the Pei family, this is what he has guessed a long time ago.
"Don't be in a hurry to say it," Xu Chongzhi said, "I'll go and see the situation first." β
Mrs. Xu nodded tremblingly, and Xu Chongzhi walked out of the house quickly.
Xu Chongzhi rushed to the Qiantang River, and the horizon in the distance had turned blue-gray, and in another hour and a half, the sun on the horizon would rise.
There were also figures floating on the river, apparently looking for something in the water.
Xu Chongzhi asked his entourage to hold a person and ask, "What are you doing here?"
The man said, "Fisher people, if you catch someone, you will give five hundred taels of gold." β
Five hundred taels of gold, that is, the Pei family has such a handwriting, it seems that the news is right, someone did fall into the water, and the eight achievements are Gu Langhua.
"How lively it was last night, I fell down when I saw a person...... Men and women don't know...... Anyway, it's just a person......"
Xu Chongzhi hurried to the big boat, there were already many sedan chairs waiting there on the bank of the Qiantang River, and the sons and brothers who participated in the banquet on the boat got off the boat one after another after being questioned by the officials, and everyone had a tired look on their faces.
"What about the prefect?" Xu Chongzhi asked the messenger next to him.
The messenger hurriedly said: "On the boat, I am talking to Master Pei. β
Xu Chongzhi was about to enter the cabin when a young man in a blue shirt stepped forward and said, "Are you Lord Xu?"
Xu Chongzhi nodded.
The little servant said: "The fourth son of our family originally wanted to come over to greet Lord Xu, but he ...... I can't move, so I asked to wait here, and I ask Lord Xu to come and talk. β
Pei Qitang asked people to wait for him here, they must have wanted him to help deal with the Gu family, so it was better to take this opportunity to ask Pei Qitang for some news.
Xu Chongzhi made up his mind and followed the little guy to another cabin.
The hatch opened, Xu Chongzhi saw Pei Qitang lying on the soft couch, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, Pei Qitang looked fifteen or sixteen years old, his eyebrows were like black ink, and his slender Danfeng eyes were as bright as stars, and he was born with a beautiful appearance, Xu Chongzhi couldn't help but look around.
Pei Qitang said: "Lord Xu, don't worry, there is no one here. β
Xu Chongzhi sat down at this time, "What happened last night, who is the person who fell into the river?"
Pei Qitang showed a somewhat hesitant look on his face, "I know that the Gu family and the Xu family are in-laws, and Lord Xu's sister is Miss Gu's biological mother. β
This is to test whether the Xu family will stand up for the Gu family.
Xu Chongzhizheng didn't know what to say.
Pei Qitang said: "Last time in the pharmacy, the Gu family said that Mrs. Gu had returned," said with a deep meaning, "Lord Xu also knows that although my father has already been a scholar, and our Pei family is far away in Fujian, but we still know a little about things in Beijing, and it is calculated that Lord Xu should be the prince's protΓ©gΓ©, if this year's performance appraisal is excellent, Lord Xu will be transferred to the capital." β
Xu Chongzhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Pei Qitang to know so clearly, that is to say, the Pei family always paid attention to the movements of the court.
Pei Qitang's face was calm, as if he was talking about something above board, "Last night, it was Miss Gu who brought someone to find here, and I was just feasting guests...... Many things were not my intention...... Now that something has happened, neither the Imperial City Division nor the Pei family can drag it out, and my father is a Qincha, so he always has to give everyone a result. β
Xu Chongzhi already understood that the Pei family was wooing him. He immediately realized that this was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of this incident to move up the ranks.
