Chapter 129: Broken! (pink 195+)
(Thank you for listening to the flute under the moon!) I beg the mercy of the Pink King! )
This letter was sent by Wei Yan, the former Qiuguan Lingtai Lang, as the secretary of the ministry, of course Gu Zhan knew that Wei Yan had resigned, and he had also heard the court officials say that he had returned to Yecheng.
Gu Zhan would not have paid attention to a petty official like Wei Yan below the sixth grade, but because his granddaughter Gu Yan was involved in the demon affair at that time, he set his eyes on Si Tiantai, and he was especially concerned about the facial features Lingtai Lang.
Gu Zhan remembered that Wei Yan seemed to resign after the demon, and he was still very strange at that time, and he must know that entering the office with Lingtai Lang was Dading's favor to the Taoist priests. Among the thousands of mountains and hundreds of mountains in Dading, there are thousands of Taoist priests, but there are very few who can be awarded official positions. Naturally, there are very few people who resign and go into hiding.
The reason for Wei Yan's resignation, Gu Zhan also understood, and knew that he was returning to the mountains and forests to ask for Taoist heart. People like Wei Yan are tired of officialdom and want to resign and return to the mountain, which is a matter of momentary thought, and it is difficult to have a reason.
At that time, Gu Zhan didn't think much about it, but now that he received this letter, he didn't want Wei Yan to resign and there was this reason in it.
The letter was very brief, except for Wei Yan's seal, there were only a few sentences, which read: "Lord Shangshu paused: In the past, Lord Gu in the palace had bribed the grass people to make his granddaughter evil." The ancient adage says: If you lose the fish, you can't eat the fish. Shall not be punished, and eat fish for life. 'The matter of Yulu, the grass people are ashamed. Suddenly, he lost his interest in officialdom. I will revise a letter today to tell the truth. Grass People: Wei Yan worshipped. ”
Gu Zhan looked at these lines word by word, for fear that he would read it wrong or miss it. I didn't realize that my hands were trembling, and the letter paper in my hand was fluttering, but fortunately he was sitting, if he was standing, I am afraid that he would not be able to stand steadily.
Seeing this, Gu Zhong, the old servant on the side of the "old lady......" called out worriedly, guessing what was written on this letter and why the old lady's expression was so ugly.
"I'm fine, I'm fine......" Gu Zhan said repeatedly, not knowing whether to answer Gu Zhong. Still consoling himself. Even so. Gu Zhan still felt that his heart was frozen by cold ice all of a sudden, and it was almost difficult to breathe.
Master Gu once bribed the grass people to make his granddaughter evil...... Such words lingered in Gu Zhan's mind. The meaning of this letter made him tremble, if what Wei Yan said was true. So...... Then this second son broke his own family. His heart should be killed!
But. How is this possible? This is his second son, it is impossible to do such a thing of destroying the family and destroying the clan! Gu Zhan subconsciously shook his head, and his hand couldn't help but hold his heart. Trying to calm yourself down.
"Immediately check the origin of this letter, and send someone to Yecheng Post Station to check to see if such a letter has been sent!" Soon, Gu Zhan ordered to verify the origin of this letter as soon as possible!
"Prepare a sedan chair, I'll go back to the government immediately!" Gu Zhan continued, he was going back to the Ministry of Officials to find Wei Yan's seal to compare. When an official resigns, the general private seal will be recorded in the official department, which is also a valid proof of personal identity.
Tomorrow is the day to return to the government on the seventh day of the first month, why is the old lady in such a hurry to return to the palace? Gu Zhong thought suspiciously, but immediately received the order and asked the steward in the front yard to do something.
"There's the post station, take my seal, the Taoist Department has something important! Don't delay for a moment! Before going out, Gu Zhan emphasized again.
Gu Zhong knew that the situation was urgent, and he also told the steward as it was, asking them to deal with this matter seriously and urgently.
Let's say that after Gu Zhan returned to the official office of the ministry, he hurriedly found the file of the resignation of the official last year, and found the genus of Si Tiantai Lingtailang.
Among this genus, the first one above is the information of Qiuguan Lingtai Lang Weiyan, and the private record is on the second page.
Gu Zhan stretched out his trembling hand and wanted to open the second page, only to feel that this thin page weighed a thousand pounds, and he had to use all his strength to open it, and even felt that his forehead was sweaty.
As soon as Wei Yan's private seal appeared, Gu Zhan felt that his eyes were dark, and his eyes seemed to be blindfolded by something. He was able to hold on to the table, and it was not long before he felt that he was back to normal.
The stamping on it was the same as the letter he received! The breakpoints of the word "Yan" are exactly the same! Obviously, these two seals have the same seal, which is the private seal unique to Wei Yan!
Gu Zhan stared at these two imprints, and in the spacious room of the Ministry of Rites, only the sound of Gu Zhan's extremely suppressed breathing could be heard, as if the thunder and lightning were hidden before the storm came, which made people frightened.
For a long time, I don't know what he was thinking, the green tendons in his hands skyrocketed, and even the old age spots on the back of his hands floated.
After the first ten dynasties passed, Gu Zhan went to Si Tiancheng and Gu Qingchen to talk to him. Gu Qingchen and Gu Zhan have an old relationship, although the official ranks of the two people are very different, but Si Tiantai's official position cannot be discussed as usual, and the two of them have two words to say.
Gu Zhan talked in a mixed manner, asked about the replacement candidate for Qiuguan Lingtailang, and finally talked about the topic to Wei Yan.
"Speaking of which, why did Wei Yan resign at that time?" Gu Zhan asked, knocking on what he secretly wanted to know.
"This must be for the evil of the time. After Wei Yan resigned, several Lingtai Lang with facial features seemed to be a little inappropriate, and they only returned to normal some time ago. Gu Qingchen said, thinking of the demon at that time, his tone was somewhat unnatural.
There were two demonic things successively, which greatly changed Gu Qingchen's state of mind, and he didn't want to say these things anymore, but when he saw that it was Gu Zhan, he replied to these words.
"When it comes to the evil deeds of the time, I still have something to be curious about. I remember that during that time, you were stargazing on the rooftop and didn't pay much attention to the affairs outside Taiwan, how could you know about the evil things so quickly? Gu Zhan continued to ask, his expression didn't show anything unusual, but his heart tightened.
"Think about it...... It seems that Xie Deng, who was in the palace at that time, came to the rooftop to ask about things, and he said about it. That's how it has been since then. Gu Qingchen half-squinted, carefully thinking about the events at that time.
Because this was the cause of his change of mind, he later picked up all the details, and these details could be remembered as long as he thought about them.
Cheng Xie Deng in the palace! The palace is a province...... Gu Zhan remembered that the friendship between the second son, Gu Chongting, and Xie Deng had always been very good.
He heard a "bang", and his heart fell to the ground and turned to powder. He closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down, and replied a little dryly: "I see, I've been thinking about this lately......"
After thinking about this, how do you proceed? Gu Zhan felt that his tone was difficult, and he didn't want to say anything for a while. These things he sought to verify confirmed the results that he was most unwilling to admit, and Gu Zhan suddenly lost the courage to face it.
Some things are not revealed because people's hearts are not in place. Gu Zhan couldn't have imagined what bad intentions Gu Chongting would have at all, and when he saw Wei Yan's letter, he followed this direction to investigate, and the result made him so shocked and sad.
These all show that his second son, who has always loved Shin, has a creepy intention in Ah Bi being accused of being a demon!
But why? Will someone overturn their nest and destroy their own home? The son who has always been excellent and the son who has always relied on him has the heart to be destroyed? Gu Zhan couldn't accept this, and he didn't know what to do with these things for a while.
He returned to Xuanping Street in despair, but met a person outside the gate of the Gu family, a person who could not wait for the door in the Gu family, Shen Du, a scholar from the middle school!
Gu Zhan straightened his expression, squeezed out a smile, and walked towards the place where Shen Du was standing.
"The lower official has seen Lord Gu, the lower official is looking for Lord Gu for something, and the entourage is handing over the post, so I met Lord Gu if I didn't want to, but it was a coincidence." Shen Du stepped forward and said.
"Lord Shen is polite, please come in, please come in." Gu Zhan said this, invited Shen Du into Gu's house, and led him to the study.
Shen Du served in Zhongshu Province, although the official offices of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province were far apart, but the two met outside the Zichen Palace, and Shen Du didn't have to spend this effort to deliver the post at all.
Shen Du came to him, it must be for personal matters, why is he so anxious? After he listened to Shen Du's words, he immediately gasped for breath, and asked almost out of shape, "What?" The person who was ambushed on Kongcui Mountain was the dead soldier of the Chengguo Mansion?! ”
He never expected that what Shen Du said turned out to be the ambush in Kongcui Mountain, and the identities of those killers had already been found. This was at the beginning of March last year, and although the time was long, Gu Zhan remembered it clearly!
Because he was always thinking about who was the mortal enemy of the Gu family, who was the traitor of the Gu family, and who was going to break the blood of the Gu family...... It turned out to be the Chengguo Mansion! The Gu family has no grudge against the Chengguo Mansion, how can it be the Chengguo Mansion?
Shen Du nodded, and his tone was very sure: "This is a true thing!" Now that the Tiger Ben Army is investigating, more clues may not be revealed. It was because of the ambush in Kongcui Mountain that involved the Gu family, and the lower officials made an exception to say this, and asked Lord Gu to keep it secret. ”
This news shocked Gu Zhan too much, almost the same as the shock in Si Tiantai, he groaned for a long time, and he didn't know how to respond to Shen Du.
Shen Du glanced at Gu Zhan, and felt that this official secretary was not as capable as usual, as if he had been strongly stimulated, and looked in great sorrow.
Xia Guan didn't understand why. Lord Gu has never had anything to do with the Chengguo Mansion and the Three Princes' Mansion, this ambush seems to have nothing to do with political affairs, as for personal enmity, please think carefully about it. For this matter, you may be able to consult the Lord Gu in the palace. Shen Du said this, mentioning Gu Chongting.
"Why do you ask him?" Gu Zhan followed the words, and suddenly a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on his arm.
"Lord Cheng in the palace has a very personal relationship with the staff of the Chengguo Mansion, and the lower officials have seen them in the restaurant a few times, and I don't know if they can find out a ...... or two" Shen Du stopped at the point, and let Gu Zhan imagine the rest.
What he said was not true, such as Nian and Chen Wei and others did see Gu Chongting and Li Chu get together, as for why they said it at this time, of course, there is a reason.
Gu Zhan's face was completely black.
