Chapter 136: Rebellion
Yu Mingzhi's master and servant had only lived in the Du family's courtyard for an hour, and they heard the noise in the front yard.
Zhu'er listened by the door for a while, then came back and said, "It's Jin Wuwei, come to check your whereabouts, the people of the Du family didn't say you were here." Jin Wuwei walked around the front yard for a while and left. It seems that they ......"
She wanted to speak and stopped, and the meaning was self-evident.
Yu Mingzhi nodded, and walked around in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back. On the shelves, everything from the Four Books and Five Classics to the poetry collections of various great poets, to geography and feng shui, as well as the market scripts, is summarized.
This Du Shusheng looks like a simple person, but he reads a lot of miscellaneous books.
Zhu'er sorted out their bags and asked with a smile, "Miss, what do you want to eat tonight?" ”
"I want to eat fish." Yu Mingzhi turned his head and smiled faintly at her.
"Okay, Miss is waiting for me." Zhu'er took a bamboo basket from the kitchen and went out through the small door.
The sky was getting darker day by day, Yu Mingzhi lit the lamp, and casually pulled a book to read under the lamp.
"Is Miss Guo here?" The voice of Du Shusheng's mother, Du Shen, sounded outside, "Today, our family made braised pork, I don't know if you like it or not?" I sent some to you. ”
Yu Mingzhi got up and went over, and when she opened the curtain, she saw her standing at the foot of the steps and smiling.
"You're so polite." She stepped forward and looked at her embarrassedly, "Thanks to you and Mr. Du's rescue just now, we can avoid Jin Wuwei and those people, otherwise our master and servant may not see the sun tomorrow." ”
Du Shen said: "It's just a gesture, Miss, don't be polite to us." Come. Take it, you just moved in, and you don't even have rice in the kitchen, so I'll send you some more later. Or would you just come over and eat with us? ”
Yu Mingzhi shook his head again and again, "I don't dare to bother you like this." My maid has gone out to buy food. ”
Du Shen nodded, "Okay, I won't bother you for now." If you have anything to do, just go to the front yard and call me. ”
"Okay." Yu Mingzhi agreed and sent Du Shen out.
As soon as the person left, she did not immediately go back to the house, but watched at the door for a moment. She had just deliberately left a gap half a finger's width apart. I saw that Du Shen stopped after walking a few steps, and looked back, in the dim light, her gaze was deep.
Yu Mingzhi immediately turned around and went back to the house.
It didn't take long. Pearls came back with her things. I was busy in the kitchen for a while. One dish and one soup came out of the pot, and they were put in the wing room to eat with Yu Mingzhi.
Tonight there is a shelter from the wind and rain, and a large comfortable bed to lie on. Being able to eat hot dishes, Zhu'er sighed with emotion, "I hope this day can end sooner." ”
"Yes......" Yu Mingzhi looked at the night sky.
The moon is bleak and starry.
"It'll be over soon." Someone accosted: "It depends on whether Miss Guo is willing to let this day come as soon as possible." ”
Zhu'er immediately jumped up, ran to the door, and shouted, "Who are you?!" ”
In the darkness of the night, the man's form was blurred, and he stood in the middle of the courtyard, like a ghost.
The man smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to save you." He took a few slow steps forward, and stood in front of the lamp under the porch, and a touch of orange light finally illuminated his face.
Zhu'er was stunned, "Du Gongzi? ”
Du Shusheng arched his hand, "It's here, may I ask Miss, can you let me in and talk?" This autumn day is coming, and the night is a little cool. ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "You make your intention clear first, who knows what you want to do?" Although I am down now, don't think that anyone can bully me, and don't look at what that Qinshe person has become now! ”
Du Shusheng smiled gently, and stood at the foot of the steps to speak, "My meaning is very simple, if the young lady is willing to cooperate, she will definitely be able to get a stable and peaceful day, and there will never be someone coming to you like this afternoon, except for it." ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "Explain it plainly! ”
Du Shusheng said: "Miss Guo used to be the wife of the Qinshe people, and she lived in that house for a short time, so she must know some unknown things about the Qinshe people, right?" ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw Miss Guo standing at the door.
"Do you want me to betray the matter about the Qin Sheren and rely on these incriminating evidence to bring him down?"
Du Shusheng nodded, "That's true." ”
Yu Mingzhi laughed coldly: "You are just a little scholar, how can you have such a big ability, maybe you will be killed by Qin Ji's lackeys as soon as you arrive at the yamen." ”
Du Shusheng didn't care, "Naturally, there are people above me, who are anxious for the common people in the world, trying to save the people from fire and water, so that the emperor can truly repent and benefit the people, to do this, we must bring down the biggest traitor in the court, so we gathered around him, and hollowed out our minds to dig up the evidence of Qin Ji's crime." I was fortunate to meet Ms. Guo today, and I knew that the day I had been waiting for had finally arrived, and I hope that Ms. Guo can help us. ”
"Who's that guy above you?" Yu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes.
Du Shusheng said: "Miss, it's better not to know so much. Miss Guo, if you tell Qin Ji's incriminating evidence, it will be beneficial to you. Anyway, you've already reached this point, which can not only save you from killing yourself, but also help your mother's family. ”
"My maiden ......," Yu Mingzhi muttered.
"yes." As soon as Du Shusheng saw her expression, he knew that there was a drama in this matter, "I have heard about what happened to your mother's family, and I also heard that because of your reconciliation with Qin Ji, the Guo family was deprived of the qualification of the imperial businessman, and lost a lot of money in it, which was laughed at by many people." If you can't get out of this predicament, I'm afraid the Guo family will be finished in the future. As a descendant of the Guo family, you don't want to see your family in ruin, right? Now you can not only benefit the people, but also rebuild your family business, so that your family will be impressed by you and welcome you home with joy. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner in a few months, and you don't want to spend it alone outside, right? ”
"What? My father ...... them" Yu Mingzhi's body trembled slightly, and tears flashed in his eyes, "Qin Ji is such a traitor. How can you treat your father like this! ”
Du Shusheng handed over a clean handkerchief, "Miss, don't be sad, as long as you are willing to help us, your family will definitely be fine." ”
Yu Mingzhi lowered his head and stared at the tip of his shoe.
Du Shusheng took two steps forward, lifted the front hem of his clothes, and knelt down to kowtow to her, "Please Miss Guo must remember that all living beings have worked for too long, save them!" ”
Yu Mingzhi hurriedly took a step back, and Zhu'er stepped forward to help the person up.
Du Shu refused to get up alive and dead. "If Miss Guo refuses to agree. I will kneel here until you promise to save this dangerous world! ”
Yu Mingzhi took a few steps back and said in a low voice, "If you don't come into the house and talk to me, how can I tell you all those things?" ”
Du Shusheng raised his head. A joy on the face. "Miss Guo, this is a promise to me!"
Yu Mingzhi clenched his fists. "Yes, I'll tell you everything I know. Qin Ji is not dead, and it is difficult to balance the world. If there's anything I can do, it's my responsibility. ”
Du Shusheng laughed, "Thank you Miss Guo for your righteousness!" ”
Yu Mingzhi stepped back, returned to the wing, and watched Du Shusheng walk in, Zhu'er poured them two cups of tea for them and withdrew.
Du Shusheng arched his hand and apologized: "I've disturbed your dinner." ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "It's okay, it's not too late to eat after speaking." ”
Du Shusheng brought a pen and paper with a familiar car, "Please Miss Guo tell me everything you know." ”
"Okay." Yu Mingzhi nodded, his eyes glancing at the beams of the room, as if he was recalling something, "I remember that he often read an account book in the study, and sketched on it from time to time after marriage. Once I brought tea to him, and I accidentally saw that the amount on it was very large, and I thought that it was impossible for him, a five-grade official, to have so much money. ”
"En......" Du Shusheng wrote it down carefully.
Yu Mingzhi said: "This ledger was hidden by him under the floor tiles under the bookcase. Also, during this period, an official surnamed Zhang came to visit Qin Ji, and the two of them secretly hid in the study to talk, and asked his entourage surnamed Hang to stay outside, and even my wife couldn't get close to half a step, and I didn't know what to talk about. ”
Zhang's surname is too common, Du Shusheng frowned, "What does that person look like, did Qin Ji call his name?" ”
"He is as tall as Qin Ji, has a gray beard, looks about fifty years old, and looks a little fierce. When they left, they looked very happy, and I didn't even notice that I was thinking about etiquette and came out to see off the guests, and I heard Qin Ji call him 'Zhang Changshi'. ”
"What?!" Du Shusheng was taken aback, "Are you sure you read it right?" ”
Yu Mingzhi nodded affirmatively, "That's right." ”
Du Shusheng gasped and asked again: "Qin Ji has been an official for many years, and he has embezzled a lot of money and valuable things, do you know where he hid such things?" ”
Yu Mingzhi continued to nod vigorously, changed his face a little, and scolded indignantly: "He showed off and took me to see it, and he hid it in a mountain bag outside the city, I felt that the mountain was hollowed out by him, and the gold and silver in it dazzled my eyes!" He embezzled so much people's fat and ointment, so that the people couldn't live anymore, and he actually showed off to me, saying that I could buy whatever I wanted, even if I was bored, I could take the money and throw it on the street...... How can there be such a brazen person. ”
She scolded a few words, her face turned red with anger, she gasped lightly, and when she met Du Shusheng's eyes, she lowered her gaze in a panic, and her cheeks turned even redder.
Du Shusheng pushed the teacup in front of her, "Miss Guo is not angry, good and evil will be rewarded in the end." The treasures of gold and silver that have been looted from the people will return to the hands of the people. ”
"Really?" Yu Mingzhi looked up at him expectantly.
"Yes." Du Shusheng nodded affirmatively.
Yu Mingzhi smiled, and his tense body relaxed a little, "Great." ”
Du Shusheng took a blank piece of paper, "Miss Guo, do you remember the direction of the mountain bag?" Is it possible to draw a map? ”
"Yes." Yu Mingzhi took the banknote, and marked the route and direction in three or two clicks, "This is it, I hope you can find a place to find a treasure and move everything out." ”
Du Shusheng said: "Okay, Miss Guo's wish will definitely come true soon." He looked at the map carefully, and was familiar with the terrain inside and outside the capital, so he knew that there was indeed a mountain bag in that place, and that there were only some wild grasses growing on the mountain, not even a book. In the past, someone tried to cultivate that plot of land to grow crops, but the seeds were sown, germinated, and all of them withered the next day. Later, some people said that the place was heavily cloudy, and there were lonely ghosts and wild ghosts at night, and gradually there was no one there.
It turned out to be Qin Ji's ghost, for fear that others would find out his treasure.
He smiled coldly, it was really wonderful, and it could be seen from Guo Baozhi's description that it was an unimaginably huge sum of money......
But what Guo Baozhi said is true.
He carefully put away the map and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Yu Mingzhi thought for a while, "He and the generals of the Twelve Guards are in collusion, looking for opportunities to persecute or assassinate political opponents. ”
"How do you know?" Du Shusheng felt that this news was a bit unreliable.
Yu Mingzhi said: "One night, a few of them were drinking in the flower hall, and they were noisy until dawn. When I went, several people were drunk and lying on the ground, and they called the maids to clean up for a long time. When these drunkards saw the beautiful maids, they moved their hands and feet to identify themselves to them, and wanted to take people home to be concubines. ”
Du Shusheng asked, "Did the people take it away?" ”
"Took it away." Yu Mingzhi said: "Qin Ji said that a few maids can make the generals happy, which is their greatest honor. Anyway, there are a few fewer maids, so I'll be able to recruit a few more in the future. ”
Du Shusheng said in his heart: This is much easier, as long as you check whether the generals of the Twelve Guards have recently accepted new concubines, you will know whether Guo Baozhi is lying.
Yu Mingzhi sighed: "It's a pity that I have been married to him for a short time, I only know this, I don't know if I can help you." ”
"Just a treasure place, Miss has saved countless lives!" Du Shusheng said happily, got up and waved to Yu Mingzhi, "Thank you Miss for helping." ”
Yu Mingzhi smiled and shook his head, "It's good to be able to help you." Come to think of it, it is a kind of fate to be able to meet Mr. Du, and then meet you. ”
Du Shusheng put away his things, "Then I won't disturb your meal, I will hurry up to find out these things, if there is no problem, these will be enough for Qin Ji to be imprisoned and beheaded." ”
"Okay." Yu Mingzhi got up and sent him to the door, "I hope you all the best." ”
"Miss Guo is waiting for the good news." Du Shusheng waved his hand, "At that time, you can go home smoothly, and everyone in the world will remember and appreciate Miss's kindness." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Yu Mingzhi sent Du Shusheng away, and returned to the table with Zhu'er to continue eating.
Listening to the young lady talk about the conversation with Du Shusheng just now, Zhu'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, this day is finally coming." (To be continued.) )
