17. Fall out of the water
Gu Yuancang's words were obviously suspicious of scolding Huai, Zhu Zikang heard the fire in his heart arching one by one, and he wanted to shoot it when he took the shocking wood, but he might as well be next to Zhou Zhizhong who was the first to say:
"Although this person's words are a little out of line, he can be regarded as an old-fashioned warm-hearted, but he is much stronger than the human-faced and beast-hearted Diao Min!"
After saying this, Gu Yuanshan, who was kneeling below, suddenly turned pale - similar to eighteen years ago, he still recognized his sin indiscriminately during this week's governance. Recalling the humiliation he had suffered over the years, he couldn't hold back it anymore, so he lay on the ground and cried:
"Lord Zhou, they all say that you are a rare clean official, why do you want to force Xiao Lao'er to death? God, open your eyes, I, Gu Yuanshan, have never done anything bad in my life, why should I be wronged so much? β
As he spoke, he actually crashed towards Gu Yuancang like crazy:
"Gu Yuancang, why do you have to harm me? Have you taken less silver from me all these years? Why won't you let me go? Okay, well, since you have been charged with murder, you can simply sit down today. β
Gu Yuancang didn't watch out, and was hit right all of a sudden, but he fell to the ground with a "poof".
Gu Yuancang's sons were not happy when they arrived - on weekdays, Gu Yuanshan saw them like mice and cats, but now it is good, and he dares to fight back. Those who roll up their arms and sleeves will rush up.
was stopped by Gu Yuancang with his eyes, and his face showed a sad look of grievance and fear:
"Second cousin, I know that over the years, you have been resenting me in your heart, when you wanted my son, you should have given up as a brother, but who made your brother a useless person, he couldn't get out of that, flesh and blood are connected to the heart. That's all it was at the beginning, but now it's really because the second cousin is too confused? No matter how much resentment he has, can his life matter? It is said that human life is a matter of heaven, how can you be a brother and not look at you all the way to the dark, right? Seeing that the Yuanfeng brothers' family is about to disperse, you can tell them what happened to the child! β
Zheng Qian is also a discerning person, and when she heard Gu Yuancang say this, she also kowtowed to Gu Yuanshan:
"Second uncle, what happened to my father-in-law? Please, sue me......"
The one who cries is called a heartbreak, and it is really the sadness of the listener and the cry of the hearer.
Even the people watching the excitement below couldn't help wiping away their tears:
"Wu Na Gu Yuanshan, you can sue the sΓΉ family!"
Some people are also puzzled: "Gu Yuanshan is not such a vicious person when he looks at him on weekdays!" β
is even more emotional, if you want to say that this Gu Yuanshan is also a capable person, the loss is because he has no son, otherwise, how could those people of his same sect dare to suffer from him like this.
Immediately denied:
"Not necessarily! There are so many people in this world who know people and faces, but don't know their hearts! β
It actually attracted a lot of echoes, and there was a bit of a crowd for a while.
Gu Yuancang looked at Gu Yuanshan, whose face was like ashes, and he was very proud:
If you don't know the current affairs, you will obediently send the silver taels as soon as possible, and there will be nothing to do?
was thinking about how much money Gu Yuanshan would have to pay for a while to calm the anger in his heart, and he didn't watch out for a sudden commotion behind the crowd:
"Let one go, let one let ......"
"What are you squeezing? If you want to go up to the front to see the excitement, we don't want to watch it, ah, how can it be you! β
With this exclamation, more people got out of the way. Seeing that the crowd was divided to both sides like a stream of water, Gu Yuancang and Zheng were also a little puzzled, and looked forward in the direction of separation, but the next moment they opened their mouths wide at the same time-
How could it be, Gu carrier?
Gu Yuancang was in a hurry first-he didn't expect the carrier to appear at this juncture, but he couldn't let him say that he missed his mouth. Hurriedly stepped forward at the moment, and said in a low voice:
"Carrier, don't talk nonsense later, look at the look in my eyes-"
Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Gu Chengyun, and his voice was not ordinary sharp and high-pitched:
"What do you look at? Why, it's not enough for you to hurt your second uncle and hurt me so many times, do you still want to continue to frame good people now? β
One sentence was like a thunderbolt, which made Gu Yuancang's scalp a little numb, and his mouth was a little dry:
"Carrier, you, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zheng Qian was also a little confused over there, but more excited to see her husband:
"Xianggong, really, it's really you, you're back?"
I wanted to pounce right now, so I might as well be kicked by Gu Chengyun with his feet in the chest:
"Slut, you still have the face to speak! Why did I leave you in the first place? How can you have the face to rely on the second uncle? β
The anger in his eyes can literally burn a hole in Zheng Qian's body,
The blood on Zheng Qian's face instantly receded, and the first feeling was that Gu Chengyun knew about it, and he was afraid that he knew everything!
There was a mess below, which naturally attracted the attention of Zhou Zhizhong and Zhu Zikang, especially the few words that Gu Chengyun deliberately raised his voice, and it fell into the ears of the two of them word by word.
The one who rushed into the lobby with this momentum turned out to be Gu Chengyun, who was "dead" in the plaintiff's mouth!
Gu Chengyun's attitude is even more like falling into a fog-
Zheng Qian, who was obviously his wife, cried to death and came back to life, looking like she was in love with her husband, how could she take care of the carrier as soon as she came back, not to mention hugging and crying with her wife, but fighting?
As for Gu Yuancang, who just kept claiming to be a hot sausage, it has become a big joke - the meaning of Gu Chengshan's words, the reason why he has been out for so long is obviously Gu Yuancang's fault!
So is this a typical thief shouting to catch a thief?
figured out the reason, not only the people in the hall, but also Zhu Zikang and Zhou Zhizhong, who were in the audience, all began to be messy in the wind.
Zhu Zikang is better, after all, he is quite fair, and even has a lot of protection for Gu Yuanshan, but Zhou Zhizhong is undoubtedly a little too miserable-
Fang Cai Zhou Zhizhong called Gu Yuanshan a person in front of the hundreds of people in the hall! In and out of the words, Gu Yuanshan had already been convicted.
If Gu Chengshan didn't show up, it would be fine, Zhou Zhizhong's sharp words could also be beautified as jealousy and hatred, but the fact is that Gu Chengshan not only came back alive, but also revealed that his disappearance not only had nothing to do with the defendant Gu Yuanshan, but was caused by Zheng Qian and Gu Yuancang, who were the plaintiffs.
Comparing with the pitiful appearance of the white-haired Gu Yuanshan, it suddenly made many derogatory words in Zhou Zhi's previous appearance extremely vicious.
Everyone in the hall immediately discussed:
"Didn't you say that this Lord Zhou is a rare clean official? Why do you look so confused today? β
"Not really. It's a shame that Gu Chengyun rushed back in time, otherwise, looking at the appearance of this Lord Zhou, I am afraid that Gu Yuanshan will really be punished for a major murder. β
"If you want me to say that this is called the protection of officials and officials, don't you forget, that Gu Yuancang's youngest son is not an official of the imperial court right now, and it is not necessary to say hello to this Lord Zhou early."
β¦β¦
Zhou Zhizhong's face darkened for a while when he heard this, and for the first time he felt some remorse - he finally realized what it meant to be like a knife, how relieved he was when he scolded Gu Yuanshan, and how embarrassed he was at this moment.
But I don't want to, this is just the beginning, this day is destined to be a disaster day in Zhou Zhizhong-
After Gu Chengyun made a big fuss in court, Gu Yuanshan's wife Gong also rushed over with the support of the servants.
Seeing Gu Yuanshan kneeling in the lobby with white hair, Gong almost fainted without crying:
"Master, master, it's me, it's me, I'm sorry for you...... At the beginning, if I hadn't seen Gu Chengshan very similar to our frail son, and made a fuss, I would have to accept his family, and I wouldn't have let you suffer so much...... There are so many children in the clan, and there are more than one or two who are willing to come to our house, why am I blind and take a fancy to such a white-eyed wolf? Obviously, he stayed in our house for seven years, seven years, because of the child's illness and weakness, our old couple broke their hearts, when he was uncomfortable, we guarded all night long, and didn't dare to close our eyes, when he was well, we just drank cold water, and our hearts were as sweet as eating honey......"
"But it's such a son who we hold in the palm of our hands and always feel that no matter how precious it is, he can bite us in turn and say that we are robbing the son of man...... It's obviously nonsense, but some people just believe it when they hear it......"
The crying made Gu Yuancang's face more and more unsightly, and he only felt extremely unlucky-I don't know how it was so coincidental, Gu Chengyun just happened to come back today, and what was even worse was that the kid didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine or how, and he dared to point the finger at himself.
Her second sister-in-law, Gong, is even more problematic, you must know that the original robbery case was single-handedly promoted by Lord Zhou in the hall, and now she is crying out for injustice, isn't it clearly accusing Zhou Zhizhong of handling the case unfairly?
sneered at the moment:
"You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. The meaning of the second sister-in-law is that Master Zhou failed to handle the unjust, false and wrongful case at the beginning? β
This case was originally the reason for Gu Yuancang Zheng Qian to sue Gu Yuanshan for killing Gu Chengyun, and everyone in the hall was naturally no stranger to it, even Zhu Zikang couldn't help frowning-
Even if Zheng Qian and Gu Yuancang are confirmed as false accusations because of the appearance of Gu Chengyun, it is good to just talk about the facts, and it is really not appropriate to turn over the old accounts of the past. After all, it was not entirely groundless for Lord Zhou to handle the case back then, and if he talks about it now, there is no other benefit except to provoke Zhou Zhizhong's dislike. Looking at it for himself, this Gong is really a little confused.
was about to speak out to persuade him, but unexpectedly, Gong Shi stared at Gu Yuancang and said hatefully:
"Gu Yuancang, you forced me to do it. After so many years, even if he hurt my heart at the beginning, but in my heart, he still treats him as his own son, if it weren't for your family bullying people too much, step by step you will drive our husband and wife to a dead end...... yes, it's all my own stupidity. I think of Chengshan as a son to hurt, whether it is your family or Chengshan, but I treat our old couple as enemies...... So far, I have done my best! β
"You, what do you mean?" Gu Yuancang suddenly had a bad feeling.
Gong ignored him, turned around and knelt down in the hall, and wept:
"Master Qiyu learned that it was all the people's women who were stupid back then, and he always thought that one day, I would be able to repent if I couldn't say good...... At the moment, it seems that it is just the wishful thinking of the people's women! How can such unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous things deserve me to treat him like this? β
As he spoke, he took out an old box from his bosom:
"Don't hide it from the eldest master, in fact, the documents that succeeded Gu Chengshan were not lost, but were hidden by the people's women...... At that time, the woman only thought that the child was still young, and she was induced by someone to do such a foolish thing to sue her father, that is, how much she suffered, how could she not ruin Chengshan's future...... How could he have expected that he and his wolf-hearted grandmother were almost driven to a dead end step by step? β
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Yuancang's face changed greatly, and he stretched out his hand to grab the box, "How can there be documents, obviously the documents are ......"
Obviously, after the document was stolen by Chengshan, he burned it himself! Halfway through the sentence, he paused again.
It's just that although he reacted quickly, the last sentence undoubtedly exposed his weakness.
Even the hand that stretched out to grab the box was also blocked, but it was Liu Zhutou, who stepped forward to take the box, and turned around to present it to Zhu Zikang.
