(217), where to go, where to return
Steward Zhang remembered that when he came out of the house just now, it was the old man who helped Tie Da to the bed, but when he entered the house again at this moment, he saw Tie Da lying on the ground, kneeling towards the old man, and there were some broken pottery shards on the ground, but they didn't seem to be cups.
Gao Yu, the servant of the ministry, stood at the position pointed by Tie Da bowing his head, his right arm was horizontal in the air, his five fingers were slightly open, trembling slightly, and he still retained the action of falling from his hand.
Zhang Guan, who saw this scene, breathed a sigh of relief in advance, and it seemed that the idea of fighting in the house could be put down. But then he secretly mentioned his heart again, because he rarely saw the old man so out of shape, and he couldn't help but wonder about the news brought by Tieda.
Gao Yu saw that Steward Zhang didn't say anything and hurriedly broke in, knowing what he was worried about, so he didn't blame him for his recklessness. Gao Yu, who was still stunned, suddenly came back to his senses because of Steward Zhang's entry into the house, and regained his usual calm and solemn appearance, Wen Yan said to Tie Da who was kneeling: "I will first ask someone to take you to a quiet and secret place to rest and recuperate, and then discuss with Steward Zhang where you will go in the future." You were seriously injured for my Gao family, and as the head of the Gao family, I will not treat you badly. โ
"These are small places that should be done. The master is gracious, and he torments the small one. Tie Da said goodbye and bowed again. His hand on the ground began to tremble, and he didn't know whether he was afraid of Gao Yu's mistaken move just now, or as he said at the moment, he was afraid of the generosity of the head of the family.
Gao Yu didn't say anything more and walked out of the house.
What Gao Yu said just now, the two people in the room heard it clearly. At this time, although there were still a few family members in the mansion who had not yet risen, all the servants and maids had already gotten up and washed up, and were waiting for the head of the house to have breakfast. Steward Zhang took a cloak with a flip hat from the suitcase in his room and wrapped it in Tie Da, and then called a few henchmen who knew the roots to send him out of the mansion first, for which Tie Da could only obey and be grateful.
Arrange a temporary place for Tieda. Steward Zhang went to Gao Yu's study. There, the head of the house was waiting for him to discuss the matter he had just said about arranging where Tie Da would go in the future.
Although the owner of the house in the south of the city is Gao Yu's family residence, Gao Yu rarely brings official affairs here to do it, but Gao Yu's study in this house is still rigorous in terms of specifications, just like Gao Yu's character as an official in the ministry.
Every time Steward Zhang walked into this courtyard, the gentleness from Madame and Miss felt like being cut into neat squares by a knife, and his mood became cautious and orderly. Now he is going to walk into the courtyard of this house again. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw two housekeepers standing next to the closed door of the master's study, and Steward Zhang's heartstrings were raised.
These two family members are not good-looking, but Steward Zhang is familiar with the position they occupy in this house, and they are not ordinary family members as they appear to be dressed, but they are actually Gao Yu's close guards, and their martial arts are outstanding. Moreover, they are actually still close to the iron big storage zร i. It's just that Tie Da is in charge of the outside, and the two of them are close to Gao Yu's personal safety inside.
There was not a single idle servant in the small courtyard, only the close guards of the two family masters. Steward Zhang originally felt that something was wrong with today's affairs, and when he saw this, he didn't dare to slack off and sped up the steps of the house. The two guards guarding the door of the study also knew Steward Zhang, but because of their special status, they never bowed their heads when they saw him like other servants in the house. After nodding his head in respect, he opened the door and let him in, and then quickly closed the door.
The appearance of the mansion is simple, but the service work inside is rich and thoughtful, but at this moment, Steward Zhang came into the house, but found that there was not even a tea maid ring in the house. There are not many experiences of talking to the head of the house Gao Yu alone in such a relaxing place, which makes Steward Zhang a little uneasy, and after entering the house, he waited at the table as usual, but he only rubbed the back of his hands very slowly and without stopping. I didn't say anything for a while.
Steward Zhang's expression all fell into the eyes of Gao Yu, who was sitting behind the desk. After he was speechless for a long time, the rhythm of his fingers tapping on the smooth desktop gradually slowed down, and he said, "Uncle Zhang, what are you nervous about?" โ
Steward Zhang was stunned when he heard this. Then he smiled and said: "Seeing that the master is in a hurry, I am also in a hurry!" โ
Gao Yu suddenly laughed, but he laughed out loud, and then said in a relaxed tone: "Uncle Zhang, don't be so polite, I'm only thirty-eight years old this year, how can I make you always called 'master'?" โ
After he said that, he stood up and walked to Steward Zhang's side, shook the pair of thick palms that could no longer be smoothed no matter how he rubbed them, and said gently: "I have something to say to Uncle Zhang." โ
Steward Zhang touched the warmth of Gao Yu's palm, thinking of how the person in front of him lived a begging life with him when he was a child, and how he worked hard to test his fame when he grew up, and sought an official position in the midst of all difficulties and dangers, supporting the entire Gao family's current family business, his heart was also hot and relaxed, and it was easy to call out Gao Yu's nickname: "Ah Yu, what's the matter......"
Gao Yu smiled slightly, did not speak immediately, but turned around and walked back to the desk, took down a picture of Qiu Ju hanging on the bookshelf, and then took out a key from his bosom and inserted it into a hole in the gap between the two frames of the bookshelf after the painting was removed.
As Gao Yu twisted the key slightly, in the middle of the symmetrical bookshelf, a vertical bookframe suddenly sank, as if it had been swallowed by the surface. The overall height and width of the sunken book frame could only accommodate a six- or seven-year-old child, and then, in Steward Zhang's slightly widened eyes, Gao Yu climbed on the ground with a big fall, and drilled through the hole exposed by the missing bookshelf frame, and then he turned his head and beckoned to Steward Zhang.
Steward Zhang was surprised by the storage of this secret room in the study, so he hesitated for a moment before he lay on the ground and crawled through the hole between the bookshelves according to Gao Yu's method.
โฆโฆ
It didn't take long for Steward Zhang to understand why Gao Yu wanted to avoid his close guards today and open this secret room to him.
On the issue of dealing with Tie Da, Manager Zhang also had a premonition, but his hunch was that Gao Yu would not use Tie Da to do things for him again, but he didn't expect Gao Yu's real idea to kill Tie Da and never suffer in the future.
And the many big boxes in the secret room also made Steward Zhang feel that maybe the Tie Da incident was just the beginning, and Gao Yu should have other important events arranged. But these are the speculations in Steward Zhang's heart, and he can't be accurately determined in these vain things. He couldn't be too shrewd, so after he entered the secret room, the verbal topic still stayed on the issue of Tieda.
There are not many dead soldiers like Tie Da who were personally adjusted/taught by Gao Yu. Gao Yu admires Tie Da's determination and loyalty, sometimes the trust and loyalty between superiors and subordinates are mutual, Tie Da Neng is waiting for Gao Yu's instructions to die, and Gao Yu's trust in him is also great.
But now, Tieda's only shortcoming, competitiveness, is very likely to make Gao Yu overturn in front of people who have been guarding for many years.
What happened to Tie Da last night can make anyone who knows his identity predict that he will not be reused by the head of the family again. He should have this self-knowledge himself, but he still quietly returned to the high mansion to report to the head of the family as soon as possible, because of his loyalty to the lord.
However, this loyalty of his was about to be abandoned by his master without any remnants.
When Gao Yu felt that Tie Da's only character flaw was not only useless, but it was also possible that because of his life, when he came to the Gao family in the future, all the reasons for Tie Da to live became light.
It's just that in the early years, Tie Da's competitive spirit was all used by him in practice and study, and because he was born with great strength. Therefore, although his martial arts cultivation is not delicate, he is known for his strength, and a pair of iron fists crack stones and destroy gold, which makes him quite prestigious among the only dozen or so dead soldiers in Gaofu. In terms of virtue, although Tie Da is not good at talking, he uses this iron fist. In a few hard resistance incidents, he saved the lives of two dead soldiers in Gaofu. Counting it all up, Tie Da can also be regarded as a meritorious person among the dead soldiers in Gaofu, which makes Steward Zhang, who is the leader of all the servants in Gaofu, have to ask for a favor for him, even if it is just for show.
"Ah Yu, Tie Da is a talent you have cultivated for several years, haven't you praised him many times before? But how can you abandon him now because of this? Although Steward Zhang knew that what he said now would be useless, he also had to make senseless words, "Although he was covered in burns, he did not lack arms or legs. The kung fu is still there. When he recovers, he can still help you. Now that he has no face, wouldn't it be more convenient for him to act? โ
"He knows too much about me." Gao Yu's face turned cold, "If he is paralyzed and dumb, deaf and blind." It's still alive, but now it'......"
As if realizing that his words were a bit excessive, Gao Yu's tone paused, and after a while, he said in a slightly slower tone: "If you want me to treat him like that, it is better to let him go happily, this is the place he must go, and it can be regarded as a suitable place for him." I will give him a good lifespan, and I hope that he can vote for a good family in the next life, and stop being a street child born easily. โ
From Gao Yu's words, Steward Zhang thought of the difficult days he had with Gao Yu in the past.
In those most difficult days, if it weren't for Steward Zhang to take him in, Gao Yu, the son of the Gao family who was in a ruined family, was driven out of the mansion by Master Gao's concubine, even if he could survive, even if his name left traces on the genealogy of the Gao family in Kyoto, he would probably become a dead man like Tie Da in a powerful mansion in Kyoto today. Not to mention the fact that he later returned to the Gao family, overthrew the head of the evil aunt in the family, and later entered the scientific examination.
Because of these hard life memories, in the most difficult time, Gao Yu got help from a beggar, so although Gao Yu regained his guilu, he did not deliberately reject the poor and miserable, but would also value and cultivate the talented among such people.
Internally, he cultivated a group of Gaofu dead soldiers; Externally, as a servant of the ministry, his reputation among the children of the poor family is also not shallow. It's just that the spread of these prestige is not public, and those poor disciples naturally know not to bring trouble to the default disciples who are in the ministry and are taboo after receiving Gao Yu's Sufu visit to Wรจn.
But this qiฤ could not alleviate Gao Yu's decisive order for his own plan.
"Tie Da's life, martial arts, knowledge, etc., are all given by you, and his nature is like this, there is no reason to betray you." Steward Zhang pleaded with Gao Yu for Tie Da for the last time, and it was also an indirect inquiry, "He was just seen by that person, but he was only touched away, Tie Da was not arrested and tortured for anything, so he wouldn't be guilty and die, right?" โใ (To be continued.)
