The next morning, before it was yet light, he arose.

With Fang Xiong and Chuan'er, he rode straight to the East City Gate.

As soon as the city gate was opened, he was the first to rush out, and then let his horse gallop on the official road.

In the middle of this run, he only stopped slightly when it was convenient to eat dry food and drink water.

Fang Xiong is a person who practices martial arts, so he is naturally unhindered; Chuan'er was so tired that she stuck out her tongue like a dog.

Fortunately, they did not always travel by land, and in the evening they changed boats and took the waterway.

This boat belongs to the Fang family, and after hanging the sails, it goes down the river.

Once on the boat, Fang Chu locked himself in the cabin.

Three days later, the boat arrived in Huzhou.

Fang Xiong came to ask: "Young Master, it's time to Huzhou." Do you want to go straight to Xiazhao, or do you want to stop? ”

Fang Chu had already freshened up and changed his clothes, ready to stop, and said, "Stop, I'm going to go up." ”

Fang Xiong hurriedly entered the dock.

Half an hour later, Fang Chu came to Governor Gao's mansion and posted a post to visit Master Gao.

"Brother Fang Xian, what a rare guest!"

The tall young master smiled and let him into the study to watch tea.

After only a few words, Fang Chu asked about the murder of Jiang Minghui.

The tall young master told the situation of the case, but there was still no progress, "Some people have already played the court, saying that the Guo family is pampered and arrogant, and it must not be tolerated." ”

Fang Chu didn't even have to think about it, this must be the handiwork of his good father-in-law.

He said: "If Miss Guo really killed someone, naturally she can't be tolerated. However, this case is not as simple as it seems, and it still needs to be discerned and find out the real culprit in order to be convincing. ”

The tall young master felt that this was a scene. I can't figure out what he wants.

Because it was his fiancée who accused Guo Qingmu of murder.

He looked at him inquiringly and asked, "You don't believe that Guo Qingmu killed people?" ”

was very subtle, and did not mention Xie Yinyue and the Xie family for half a word.

Fang Chu said categorically: "Don't believe it! ”

The tall young master said: "But she confessed." ”

Fang Chu said firmly: "Even if I admit it myself, I don't believe it!" ”

The tall young master looked at him with some surprise.

Fang Chu understood his surprise. But they didn't know how to say to him.

He remembered the pure and unstained red dust piano sound, floating under the moon of Jingjiang.

I also remembered that on the occasion of the competition in the Splendid Hall, she dedicated the loom to the imperial court, which set off a storm on the spot, and when everyone was busy calculating, she was the only one who was quiet as usual; The warm picture of holding the little niece down the steps makes people feel the stability and tranquility away from the strife.

Tanabata night. The beautiful piano music interprets the love of the world.

How could she kill someone like this?

Not to mention. Jiang Minghui used to be the person she loved deeply.

He could feel that even if she quit, she didn't hold a grudge against Jiang Minghui.

However, this little bit of feeling wants to form a language to tell the tall young master. But it's a little hard. He had no choice but to say: "There must be something inside here." Otherwise, she wouldn't have been silent after confessing. Brother Gao didn't know that although she was weak on the outside, she was an unyielding character who would rather die......"

With that, he stopped and shut up.

A heart-wrenching pain struck him so suddenly that he couldn't go on.

Last year in Jinxiutang, he, Han Xiyi and several other Shaodong admitted their mistakes to her in front of the world's brocade businessmen. and made a heavy promise, only begging her to forgive the Xie family. Give the Xie family a chance. He never made a promise to anyone; The promise, in exchange for any second-rate businessman present, would rather exchange his daughter or pay a greater price in exchange; That promise, not only the Fang family gave it, but the Xie family had four or five! But she was unmoved, and she didn't care about Xia Weaving's mediation in the middle, and she didn't care that Jiang Minghui and Xie Yinfeng were irretrievably completed, she said, "I'd rather destroy it!" ”

How could such a Guo Qingdum give in and confess?

There is only one explanation: she was manipulated!

What kind of torture and persecution made her take the initiative to write a confession?

Just thinking about it, that heart tightened again, and he couldn't breathe.

The tall young master said, "What if she really killed her?" So there's nothing more to say. ”

Fang Chu exhaled vigorously and insisted, "She will never kill!" ”

The tall young master was full of suspicion, and secretly thought, "What kind of position is this?" Do you want to help the Guo family deal with the Xie family? He asked tentatively: "But the Xie family ......"

Fang Chu Zhengse said: "Jiang Xie and his family are relatives of the deceased, and their hearts of anger and pain can be imagined; The Guo family was accused of murder, and if they were wronged, they would definitely not be happy in their hearts. Only in this way can the government be extra cautious about this case, find out the real murderer, let the deceased be blind, let the relatives feel at ease, and let Miss Guo be vindicated! ”

The tall young master smiled and said, "That's what Brother Xian said. I didn't expect you to have such an attitude. ”

Fang Chu said: "Senior brother, from the perspective of the law, it is needless to say that killing people pays for their lives; Judging from the entanglements and friendships between us and several others, this case must not be acted hastily, lest people think that Fang Xie has joined forces to suppress the Guo family; In general terms, Miss Guo has made such a great contribution to the court and the people, if she is wronged to death, how chilling will the Guo family be? What will the people think? Where is justice? ”

The tall young master nodded solemnly and said, "I understand for my brother!" ”

The two then discussed the facts of the case and vaguely talked about the reactions of all parties.

Fang Chu suddenly said: "I heard that the last time Xia Weaving was rewarded by the imperial court because of Miss Guo's dedication, and Lord Xia's brother benefited, I heard that it was promoted." ”

The tall young master smiled: "This is indeed the case. Speaking of which, it was also his luck that arrived. ”

He understood what Fang Chu meant: this was to remind him that he wanted his father to help Guo Qingdu.

But "this time and that time", in this sensitive period, how to act is unpredictable.

Fang Chu looked at him with deep meaning and said, "Those who are officials should ask for their lives for the people and serve the court, this is their duty." It's just that the career is treacherous, and if it is not good, there will be a crisis of overturning, and it is inevitable to walk on thin ice from time to time. However, if the opportunity is on the side, but it cannot be seized in time, wouldn't it be a pity? ”

The tall young master's heart moved, and he asked, "What chance?" ”

Fang Chu said: "Every year, all localities will declare to the imperial court, or filial sons, or festival women, and ask the emperor to give a plaque to commend them, aiming to educate the people." The Guo family dedicated the loom and spinning wheel to the imperial court, which was a great righteousness and benefited all the people of the world, and deserved this honor. If after this case, it is proved that Miss Guo is innocent, and the governor asks the court to play, please give her the title of 'Weaver Girl', which can appease the Guo family, calm the people's hearts, and show the adult's bosom for the country and the people. ”

The tall young master looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Before this, of course my father should try his best to deal with this case cautiously, so as not to wronged Miss Guo who did great things?" ”

Fang Chu said solemnly: "That's an adult's responsibility. ”

The tall young master smiled: "What the virtuous brother said is reasonable. ”

After a pause, he said softly: "It's Miss Guo who accuses, but Miss Xie!" ”

The voice was soft, soft, as if talking to oneself.

After speaking, I felt that my surroundings suddenly quieted down.

The man sitting across from him seemed to have stopped breathing.
