Chapter 222: Retreat (Part II)

As a county marquis, he was imprisoned, and he received preferential treatment that other prisoners could not match.

Gu Qing would not wronged himself in any environment, he was so depressed and poor when he was in Shiqiao Village, but he still made one delicious dish after another, making life as exquisite as flowers.

The environment of Dali Temple is worse than that of Shiqiao Village, fortunately, Gu Qing did the foreshadowing in advance, he had long expected that he would be in prison, so before he was imprisoned, he ordered Han Jie to bring him food every day.

It is impossible to eat prison food, and it is impossible to eat prison food in this life.

Dogs don't eat the hungry and dry prison food, Gu Qing can't touch the prison food, and one bite can pull the stomach for three days.

Han Jie carried out Gu Qing's instructions meticulously, and sent wine and food three times a day, all of which were made by his own cook, and the wine was also the best wine in Chang'an City, and by the way, he really brought Gu Qing a few immodest picture books.

Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the mattress, and after eating and drinking, his face exuded a clear color, as if a virgin had been opened, and slowly opened the immodest painting book with a sacred attitude.

In fact, he wanted to know how immodest the so-called picture books of this era were, and whether he could realize the mitosis of the straight man of steel......

If you can, there's no need to get a wife.

Turning the first page, Gu Qing's eyes suddenly straightened.

The two naked little figures in the painting book are entangled, their faces are blurred, and the prominent places are also painted quite obscurely, the whole painting is gray in color, the characters are ugly, it looks like two humanoid insects are wrestling, not only is there no beauty, but the characters in the painting are completely unable to stimulate the prostate.

Gu Qing felt that the five-year-old children who had attended interest classes in their previous lives drew more vividly than this.

Unwilling to turn the next page, it is still the same. So Gu Qing picked up another picture book, and after all the picture books were turned over by him, he finally gave up.

For Gu Qing, who was already uncoded in his heart, this kind of messy, ugly and ugly thing really couldn't arouse his interest.

A deep anger involuntarily swelled up in his heart, from incomparable anticipation to incomparable disappointment, virgins are more sensitive to this aspect of emotions than others, let alone two virgins.

Swindler! Painting like this, I'm embarrassed to take it out and sell it, I draw a circle on the wall is more vivid than this, the fairy plate turtle son, you will die tragically in the house if you paint.

I originally planned to rely on these unscrupulous sketchbooks to pass the long prison time, but the abacus fell through as soon as I came in.

The more Gu Qing thought about it, the more angry he became, so he dropped the sketchbook, walked to the cell door and shouted, "Cell boss! Is the cell boss there? I want to see the cell boss! ”

The cell boss hurriedly ran over and saluted Gu Qing respectfully.

Raising the picture book in his hand vigorously, trembling, Gu Qing said angrily: "I want to report!" I'm going to report it! Someone is scamming! ”

The cell boss was stunned: "Dare to ask Master Hou, who is the one who is lifting?" Is it relevant to your case? The villain reported to Dali Siqing and asked him to sign and take the person. ”

"It's hard to say, you let me out, I will personally go to the street to catch the person who painted, and I will come back and continue to squat in prison after stabbing him, and promise not to break my word."

…………

There are too many smart people in the world, and there are obviously not enough fools.

The cell boss was really not as stupid as he imagined, and he didn't let Gu Qing go out to cut people after all.

Only at this time did Gu Qing realize how precious freedom is, no wonder some martyrs in later generations said, "If it is for freedom, both can be thrown."

is obviously a marquis, but it is so difficult to cut a painting, which shows how precious freedom is.

The next day, Han Jie's face was happy when he came to deliver the food, and he saluted when he met and congratulated Gu Qing.

The matter of the assassination can't be hidden for long, at most it can only be hidden for a day.

Interestingly, before the courtiers knew about it, a rumor suddenly came out of Chang'an City, saying that the Shangzhou Assassin and the Luonan County Commander conspired to embezzle ink and kill innocents. Hou Gu Qing of Qingcheng County was ordered to secretly go to Shangzhou to investigate the case, and Shangzhou assassin Shi Xing saw that his deeds were exposed, and he dared to gather lawbreakers with the intention of killing Gu Qing.

The two sides then started a fierce battle, the criminal officer Xing Shen was killed by Gu Qing on the spot, the Luonan County Order was captured, and a number of greedy ink account books were found, the evidence was ironclad, and the Luonan County Order confessed to the crime committed in prison.

This rumor shocked Gu Qing so much that he didn't speak for a long time.

Jiang is really old and spicy, as long as he adds the head and tail in front of the real case, and then adjusts the order slightly, the whole thing immediately changes from black to white.

Gu Qing's first reaction was that this rumor must have been spread by Li Longji, which was equivalent to setting the tone for the whole thing, Gu Qing was originally impulsively killing people for personal revenge, but now it has also become an order to investigate the case, and the criminal official is unwilling to kill and resist, so Gu Qing killed Xing Shen is completely reasonable and legal, not only not guilty, but meritorious.

The rights and wrongs of the world are righteous, and whoever seizes the commanding heights of public opinion is justice.

"Congratulations to the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye's holy family is really magnanimous, it seems that His Majesty is determined to protect the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye will be acquitted after a few more days." Han Jie said with a happy face.

Gu Qing's expression was calm, and he just asked, "What do the courtiers say?" ”

Han Jie said: "The last general deliberately inquired, the court was calm, the imperial historians of the Imperial History Terrace did not speak out, Xing Shen's death deserved, no one would stand up to help a dead man speak, Hou Ye, you killed Xing Shen suddenly, and it was a passive response, Xing Shen was killed by you It is reasonable and legal, but there are two imperial histories that have been killed, saying that Hou Ye killed first without trial, and there is a suspicion of arbitrary killing, but after the Song Shu is handed over, no one pays attention to them." ”

Gu Qing exhaled slowly, revealing a relieved smile.

Okay, his life should be saved, Li Longji is willing to take the initiative to reverse black and white for him, and preemptively control public opinion, indicating that he will not kill Gu Qing.

"Master Hou, the last general will guess that there will be a will in a few days, since Lord Hou killed Xing Shen in the right name, then naturally innocent, why should he be imprisoned in Dali Temple? It doesn't make sense, the last general will go to inquire about the news every day, and if he hears any rumors, the last general will immediately report to the Hou Ye. The cell boss and jailer of Dali Temple have been bought off by the last general, and the Hou Ye can tell them if he needs anything or wants to pass on something. ”

Gu Qing said lightly: "Steady, don't wave." I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly, although Your Majesty has spared me the death penalty, but the living crime is inescapable, and I made Your Majesty quite angry when I did this, so I will definitely pay some price, this price should be within the range of what I can bear, and it is okay to remove the official from the office, if I am exiled for thousands of miles, it will be uncomfortable. ”

Han Jie was stunned for a moment, and then nodded solemnly: "If the Hou Ye is dismissed from office, the last general and the brothers will also resign from the errand of the left guard and follow you with an iron heart." Even if he was exiled for thousands of miles, the last general and his brothers would accompany him for thousands of miles. ”

Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "You don't have to be like this, everyone has their own future......

"No, being able to follow a character like Hou Ye is a blessing from the last general and his brothers, whether Hou Ye is rich or poor, healthy or sick, the last general is ......"

The more Gu Qing listened, the more wrong it became, and he hurriedly shouted: "It's so touching, keep it when you propose to your mother-in-law, I am here, mainly to praise me, supplemented by sensationalism, remember." ”

Han Jie nodded inexplicably.

"Does Master Hou have anything else to command?"

Gu Qing thought about it, and his expression became serious: "Yes." ”

Han Jie said solemnly and awe-inspiringly: "Please ask Master Hou to command." ”

Gu Qing picked up the painting book that Han Jie bought yesterday, pointed at it and said, "Where did you buy the painting book?" ”

"Uh, ...... at a calligraphy and painting stall on Dongshi Street"

"The man was a fraudster, go find someone to beat him up."

"The last general commands!" Han Jie clenched his fists and left murderously.

…………

On the third day of Gu Qing's imprisonment, Han Jie brought news again.

As Gu Qing expected, Li Longji could not easily release him, dare to kill the assassin Shi, and ask the Son of Heaven to help him cover it up in person, Li Longji was afraid that Gu Qing's anger in his heart was not small.

This matter was finally officially said in the court, Li Longji rarely went to the court, and confirmed the correctness of the rumors in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Gu Qing was ordered to investigate the case, Xing Shen resisted stubbornly after the incident, and was killed by Gu Qing on the spot, that's right, that's it, the dog who stabbed the gatekeeper of the Shifu can testify.

As for why Gu Qing was taken into Dali Temple after returning to Chang'an, Li Longji also gave a very reasonable explanation.

Gu Qing killed before trial, after all, it was negligence. The courtiers, the state weapon, have not been punished canonically, and it is cruel to punish without teaching, and this wind must not be promoted, so Gu Qing was punished in Dali Temple and imprisoned for one month.

After listening to the explanation, the courtiers finally understood. The few imperial histories who participated in the impeachment of Gu Qing also calmed down.

The explanation is perfect, the ending is happy, as for the new county marquis who killed Xing Shen, young man, it is inevitable to act impulsively, and it is inevitable to miss under impulse, since he was sentenced to imprisonment for one month, it can be regarded as a punishment.

This case is now over, the Qian County Commander who is still in the Zuowei Prison, his ending naturally does not need to be said, and he can live until the autumn to burn high incense in the ancestral tomb.

One thing can be regarded as a big trouble in Gu Qing's eyes, but Li Longji explained it in a few words, and no one objected to it and no one questioned it.

Among the courtiers in the palace, only An Lushan had an unwilling look on his face, Li Longji glanced at him inadvertently after explaining, and then quickly looked away.

Han Jie immediately entered the prison of Dali Temple to report the news to Gu Qing, and Gu Qing's expression still did not relax in the slightest after hearing it.

The case is closed, it can be regarded as a success, leaving no trouble, Gu Qing was imprisoned for a month, and it can be regarded as a punishment, on the surface, it seems that everything is over, but Gu Qing doesn't think so.

The most strange thing about this matter is that Li Longji actually didn't say a word about Gu Qing's official position and title, at this time Gu Qing was squatting in the prison, his identity was still the general of Zuowei Zhonglang and the marquis of Qingcheng County, he should be the only one in Dali Temple who took the official to squat in prison.

It stands to reason that all people in prison are guilty people, no matter how big or small the crime is, they must first be dismissed and removed from the official to justify it, but Gu Qing's official title did not move, as if Li Longji had completely forgotten about it.

Gu Qing was a little apprehensive in his heart, something strange would inevitably mean that there would be more trouble in the future.

If you don't dismiss the official or get rid of the knight, what does Li Longji want to do with him?
