This makes Uncle Chai very anxious, you must know that when such news comes out, not only is it not good for the reputation of your own adult, but even the reputation of the county lord may be ruined. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just as Uncle Chai was deep in thought, Gu Yifeng walked in from outside the study, and when he saw Uncle Chai looking anxious and in a daze, he couldn't help but call out loud, "Uncle Chai, what are you thinking?" ”

Uncle Chai was brought back to his senses by this voice, looked up, and saw Gu Yifeng standing in front of him, frowning and said, "My lord, I just heard that you were in the county lord's room last night, is this true or false?" ”

Gu Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "What about the real thing, what about the fake one?" Uncle Chai, don't think about it randomly, the reason why I was in the county lord's room last night was because the county lord had a nightmare last night and asked me to accompany her, so I stayed in the county lord's room, not what Uncle Chai thought. ”

"I know, my lord, it's just that if you stay in the county lord's room like this, I'm afraid it will cause some hidden dangers to the county lord's reputation, and if the saint tracks it down, it will be a big crime to kill the head." Uncle Chai said with a sad face.

After all, the county lord is an ordinary person, what his own adults did this time was too inconsiderate, he knew that he shouldn't have slept so early last night, otherwise he could have persuaded his own adults last night, and these rumors would not exist today.

Gu Yifeng knew what Uncle Chai was worried about, so he couldn't help but smile, lowered his head and said, "Uncle Chai, don't worry, the Holy One is Mingjun, even if the Holy One really investigates it, I, Gu, am not afraid, after all, I am doing right, sitting upright, and I have not done anything unfortunate to do anything, and I am not afraid of the Holy One's investigation." ”

"My lord, that's what I said, but ・・・・・・." Without waiting for Uncle Chai to finish speaking, Gu Yifeng interrupted, "Okay, Uncle Chai is not too early now, you can hurry up and go to the hall with me." ”

After speaking, Gu Yifeng turned around and walked out, Uncle Chai saw that his adults didn't want to discuss this matter, he couldn't help sighing, shook his head, and then followed.

・・・・・・

At this time, Mingyue woke up in her sleep, slowly supported the bed with her hands, sat up, and couldn't help but think of what happened last night in her mind, her eyes glanced at the house, and saw that there was no Gu Yifeng in the house, but everything that happened last night was very real, could it be that she was dreaming of it, just as Mingyue was in deep thought, the door at the door was pushed open with a "creak".

I saw a maid in a green shirt walking in with a basin of water and a towel, and the maid saw that Mingyue woke up, hurriedly put the hot water and towel in her hand on the table, and stepped forward.

"County Lord, are you awake? Slave and maid help you up and wash yourself. ”

Mingyue nodded, stretched out her hand to let the maid help herself stand up, slowly walked to the wooden table and sat down, the maid saw her sit down, hurriedly wet and wrung out the towel on the hot water basin, then folded it, and handed it to Mingyue, Mingyue took the towel in her hand, wiped it unhurriedly, and then handed the towel to the maid in front of her.

The maidservant took the towel handed over by Mingyue, and when she saw Mingyue's pensive look, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she said loudly, "County Lord, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Mingyue turned her head to look at the maidservant and said tentatively, "Did Lord Gu come to my room last night?" ”

"Yes, Lord Gu not only came to the county lord's room last night, but also accompanied the county lord in the county lord's room last night, and the adults didn't leave until this morning." The maid wrung the towel and said, with a faint smile between her eyebrows.

When Mingyue heard this, she was suddenly happy in her heart, and said secretly, it turned out that she didn't dream last night, Gu Yifeng really accompanied her in her room all night, and the maid saw that her county lord had an inexplicable smile on her face, and a gleam flashed in her eyes, as if she understood something, and then said.

"County Lord, the Lord left early this morning, and there is still a thick dark circle around his eyes, do you think we should stew something for the Lord to send over?"

Mingyue glanced at the servant girl, shook her head and said, "No need, Lord Gu doesn't like to drink those things that nourish his body, you can just ask the people in the kitchen to cook some more good dishes for him in a while." ”

"Yes, County Lord." The maidservant replied respectfully, then put the hot towel in her hand on the basin, and picked up the comb in front of the dresser to comb Mingyue's long hair.

Half an hour later, Mingyue, who was neatly dressed, stood up from the wooden bench, looked at the maidservant beside her, and said indifferently, "You can accompany me to the back garden for a walk." ”

The servant girl nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, county lord. ”

As the weather was gradually getting cooler, when the maid went out, she hurriedly took a dark green robe and draped it on Mingyue's body, and said with concern, "County Lord, it's cold outside, you can put on a robe." ”

"Hmm." Mingyue didn't refuse, she answered lightly, and then walked out wearing the dark green robe, and then the maid in the green robe followed closely behind her.

The two of them came to the back garden one after the other, and there were not many families waiting in the back garden, after all, the house is relatively poor now, so Gu Yifeng dismissed some of the family members, so there are less than ten people left in the house now.

However, Mingyue didn't know this, and until today, when she saw that there were few families in this back garden, she asked the maid beside her suspiciously, "Why are there so few guards in this back garden?" ”

The maid helped Mingyue and said as she walked, "Back to the county lord, that's because there has been a shortage of silver taels in the mansion recently, and Lord Gu dismissed some of the family members in order to save silver taels." ”

Mingyue was shocked as if she had heard some joke. "What? You say there is a shortage of silver taels in the yamen? Why don't I know this? ”

The maid glanced at Mingyue, lowered her head and said, "Back to the county lord, the lord has explained this matter to the people in the house, saying that these things can't be told to the county lord to know, so the slaves and maids didn't tell the county lord about this matter, and I hope the county lord you don't get angry." ”

"I see." Mingyue said with a clear face, recently she always felt that there seemed to be a lack of people in the house, at first she thought it was her own illusion, but now it seems that all this is not an illusion, but true, I didn't expect that this dignified Lord Gu actually had a shortage of silver.

But this Gu Yifeng is a good official after all, it is really not easy to do such a two-sleeved breeze, if it is someone else who sits in Gu Yifeng's position, I am afraid that he will already be rich and flowing, where will it be like this Gu Yifeng, the poor can't even afford a few family members, at this point, Mingyue admires Gu Yifeng very much.

At this time, Gu Yifeng finished the hall, and saw that no one came to report the case, so he quickly retreated from the hall and came to the cell with Uncle Chai.

"See your Excellency."

Gu Yifeng glanced at the few catchers and said indifferently, "You all get up." ”

"Master Xie." The arresters quickly lowered their heads and replied, then straightened up, Gu Yifeng glanced at the people detained in the cell, and then said, "Where is the criminal who bullied and insulted the county lord yesterday being held?" Hurry up and bring the official over. ”

"Yes, sir." The leader replied respectfully, and then took Gu Yifeng towards the depths of the cell, and finally stopped at the door of a cell, turned to look at Gu Yifeng, and said solemnly.

"Back to my lord, this is the criminal who insulted the county lord last night, please decide."

Gu Yifeng looked into the cell and saw that the drunken man last night was lying on the dry grass, his eyes had already been blinded, but the severed hands were wrapped in white strips of cloth, as if to prevent her from dying of excessive blood loss.

Uncle Chai, who was standing behind him, saw the man lying motionless on the dry grass, turned his head to look at the catcher, and said loudly, "Why is he lying motionless where is he?" Is it ... ”

Uncle Chai didn't ask the latter words, but the catcher also understood the meaning of Uncle Chai's words, and replied seriously, "Master Chai, this criminal is no longer willing to move more because of his eyes and hands, if the adult wants to interrogate this person, then the little one will arrest him now." ”

"In that case, then you can bring him out." Uncle Chai said calmly, but his eyes were motionless and staring at the man lying on the ground.

The leader of the trapper quickly answered, then took out the key on his body, opened the door of the cell, strode in, and at once grabbed the man from the haystack, and then took him to the place of interrogation.

Gu Yifeng followed the arrester to the place of interrogation, and saw that there were all kinds of torture instruments piled up around, and the most common was long braids, when he saw this scene, Gu Yifeng couldn't help frowning, and suddenly felt that these things in the cell made the prisoner feel guilty for being tortured.

And after the leading catcher had the criminal tied to the torture instrument, he took the whip and shouted at the criminal, "You give me honesty, and if the adult asks you something, you will answer honestly, otherwise you will feel better." ”

After speaking, the catcher asked someone to carry a wooden chair and put it in front of Gu Yifeng, and asked him to sit down for interrogation, Gu Yifeng did not refuse, lifted his robe and sat down, staring closely at the kidnapped criminal for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Can you tell this official the reason why you want to kidnap the county lord?"

The criminal who was kidnapped on the torture instrument trembled and cried, "Go back to the ・・・・・ adult, the little one didn't kidnap the county lord, and he didn't know that the girl was the county lord, the little one didn't mean it, and I begged the adult to let the little one go." ”

Gu Yifeng frowned and said in a deep voice, "Since you said that you didn't kidnap the county lord, then you have evidence." ”

"Yes, yes." The criminal said two words in a row, and hurriedly said, "The little one's original surname is Quan, his name is Ziye, he is the only one in the family, because he lost his mother at a young age, and when he was twenty-eight years old, his father also died, and then he kept filial piety for three years, and now he is thirty and five, many girls are disgusted with the little poor, and they are unwilling to marry the villain, for the sake of the next generation's heirs, the little one has no way, so he went to where the people are teeth." ”

"Unfortunately, that day the tooth said that there was a girl in his hand, and the little one didn't think much about it, so he paid the silver taels, and then took the girl back to the house to go to the church to get married, but the little one never thought that the girl would be the county lord, and asked the adults to check clearly, and the villain was innocent."

The criminal didn't expect that he just wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was now told by the people in the yamen that he had offended the county lord, and now he was blind and broke his hands, and he ended up with both people and money, maybe his life might be gone in the next second, and the criminal couldn't help but cry when he thought that his life might be gone at any time.

Gu Yifeng saw that the criminal's appearance didn't look like he was lying, and then asked, "Since you said that you bought the county lord back from Renyazi, then can you tell the official where that Renyazi is now?" What is it called, and are there any distinguishing features. ”

The crying criminal stopped crying, and blood flowed from his empty eyes, running down his cheeks, and then dripping on the ground, and said hoarsely, "Lord Hui, that person's surname is Zhao, his name is Zhao Hui, and there is a black birthmark on the left half of his face, he often goes in and out of the land of fireworks, and the little one knows him there." ”

Gu Yifeng turned his head to look at Uncle Chai, and saw that Uncle Chai nodded at him, then stood up from the wooden chair and said to the leading catcher on the side, "You hurry up now and ask a doctor to come and show him, and the rest of the people will go to search for the whereabouts of that person's teeth, and once they find it, they will immediately arrest it for the official." ”

"Yes, sir." Gu Yifeng's eyes flashed with satisfaction, turned his head to look at the criminal who was kidnapped on the torture instrument, and said in a deep voice, "Zheng Ziye, although you don't know that the person in the night of the candle in the cave room is the county lord, but you have already constituted a big crime by selling people, but the official will no longer punish you because you are blind and your hands have been broken, and before the official catches the teeth of that celebrity, you must be imprisoned in the cell, I hope you can behave yourself." ”

After speaking, Gu Yifeng turned around and went inside, and Uncle Chai, who was next to him, also hurriedly followed, and the criminal who was tied to the torture instrument was stunned when he heard Gu Yifeng say this, he understood that if the arrester in the yamen did not find the celebrity tooth for a day, then he would not be able to get out of this cell for a day.

After the two left the cell, they returned to the mansion, and Uncle Chai, who was following behind, saw his adult's contemplative look, knowing that he was still thinking about what happened just now, he couldn't help but say loudly, "My lord, do you really believe what that person said just now?" ”

Gu Yifeng paused for a moment, turned his head to look at him and said, "Uncle Chai, don't you think what that person said just now is not the truth?" (To be continued.) )
