Chapter 414: Too Much Cost
In fact, Gongsun Jian wanted to say that he would let Chen Guangrong investigate, but as soon as the words came to his lips, he gave up.
Because since he, the main person, can't let go of his face to investigate this kind of thing, can Chen Guangrong pull his face down?
Although Gongsun Jian spoke, Chen Guangrong would definitely not refuse, but he would definitely have thoughts in his heart.
And Gongsun Jian's words, although it seems that Pu Shang asked Chen Guangrong to find someone to do it, but with Gongsun Jian's understanding of Chen Guangrong, he will definitely go in person.
Although the person who went there in the end has not changed, but the words have changed, but it will not make people dissatisfied.
Pu Shang naturally didn't know what Gongsun Jian had in his words, but simply thought that Gongsun Jian was trying to help him, so he quickly turned his head to look at Chen Guangrong.
"Lord Chen, the little one begs you, you help me this time, and the little one will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life."
Maybe he really wanted to get the answer before he died, so Pu Shang directly said the next life.
Chen Guangrong on the side naturally understood what Gongsun Jian said, and was very grateful to Gongsun Jian for saving face in front of outsiders, although this outsider was a dying person, but Gongsun Jian's behavior of saving face for him showed that he still had a bit of status in Gongsun Jian's heart.
Therefore, seeing Pu Shang begging for himself, Chen Guangrong did not hesitate, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, I promise to find out this matter for you." ”
After all, he was also very curious about this kind of thing, and he had long wanted to check it out.
And now, with Gongsun Jian's orders, he can not only check things, but also be lazy.
After all, after the investigation, it is basically time to release the ya.
The reason why Chen Guangrong was confident that he would be able to find out before the release of the government was because people like them had a lot of experience in investigating cases.
Although it is said that investigating adultery is not investigating the case, the time to collect all kinds of evidence will be much shorter than the time required for the case.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Guangrong has the confidence to find out the matter before he releases the government.
After arranging things properly, Gongsun Jian returned to his room and prepared to wait for the release of the ya.
It's just that as soon as Gongsun Jian sat down, Gu Qing on the side ran over.
It's time for questions!
"Ask!" Sighing, Gongsun Jian said helplessly.
As soon as Gu Qing's calf ran, Gongsun Jian understood what he was going to do.
Seeing Gongsun Jian say this, Gu Qing over there was a little embarrassed, after all, he came here to ask questions.
But after all, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "My lord, how did you find out that this Pu Shang is the murderer?" ”
Gu Qing asked such a crucial question as soon as he came, and Gongsun Jian was quite pleased with this.
After thinking about it for a while, Gongsun Jian said with a smile: "You will understand this later." ”
Gu Qing almost vomited blood.
What does it mean to understand later?
Isn't it just to see that he is so easy to deceive and want to fool him?
"My lord, you won't cheat Pu Shang out, will you?" Gu Qing asked with a suspicious expression.
After all, it is not a top secret thing to see that Pu Shang is the murderer, and besides, Pu Shang has been arrested, so what is the need for Gongsun Jian to hide?
Therefore, Gu Qing suspected that Gongsun Jian actually didn't see that Pu Shang was the murderer at all, and the reason why he was arrested in the end was because Gongsun Jian tricked Pu Shang out.
And the most important thing is that Gongsun Jian has never produced any evidence, and the reason why Pu Shang was arrested seems to be because Pu Shang himself confessed his guilt.
It is precisely because of this that Gu Qing now has great doubts about Gongsun Jian's non-answer.
"Whatever you think, I don't care."
Shrugging his shoulders, Gongsun Jian said indifferently.
After all, the case has been interrogated, even if he did deceive Pu Shang, it will not change the facts at all.
Pu Shang, the murderer, should be arrested, and he still has to be arrested.
Seeing Gongsun Jian's appearance, the more Gu Qing believed his guess.
Immediately, he was not afraid of whether Gongsun Jian was angry just now, and directly asked the next question.
"My lord, why are you helping that Pu Shang?"
Gongsun Jian glanced at Gu Qing a little strangely, originally he thought that Gu Qing felt that he was fooling him, so he didn't continue to ask?
But he never expected this Gu Qing's curiosity to be so strong, and he still asked himself cheekily.
Helpless, Gongsun Jian could only speak: "Look at him pitiful." ”
Gongsun Jian's words did not fool Gu Qing, after all, Pu Shang is indeed pitiful enough, and in Gongsun Jian's heart, this Pu Shang is very likely to have killed a very good brother.
Because, Gongsun Jian felt that this Lu Chen might have been misunderstood.
After all, a young man in his twenties has no family.
If Lu Chen's family is poor, it will be forgotten, but the problem is that Lu Chen's family is richer than many people, after all, just a room of books is worth hundreds of taels of silver.
It would be strange if he didn't have any money.
It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Jian guessed that there were probably two reasons why Lu Chen did not get married.
One is that Lu Chen feels that he is still young, and the other is that Lu Chen himself is not a woman.
As soon as the first thought came to mind, Gongsun Jian dispelled it.
After all, Da Zhou is not like his previous life, it is normal for Da Zhou to get married in his teens.
And like Gongsun Jian, who is in his twenties, he hasn't married yet, which is very strange.
Gongsun Jian also wants to find a wife. It's a pity that he has no money, and others don't dare to marry him.
You must know that Gongsun Jian is very famous in the Great Zhou, and basically those who know him understand that Gongsun Jian resisted the decree and refused to marry, offending the emperor.
Although many people feel admiration for Gongsun Jian, this admiration is admiration for Gongsun Jian's ability.
Therefore, no one dared to push their daughter into the fire pit of Gongsun Jian.
It is precisely because of this that at the age of twenty-three, no one dared to marry Gongsun Jian, who was a great official from the sixth rank and looked promising on the surface.
Whenever he thought of this, Gongsun Jian complained a little about the emperor in the capital.
Because of him, he is still an innocent big boy in Da Zhou.
It's like in the previous life, I had already tasted all kinds of red lips.
Of course, this is not to say that Gongsun Jian is not close to women now, but because he has no money now, otherwise, he would have gone to Chunfeng Pavilion for a visit.
And Lu Chen is different, Lu Chen is rich, but he has always been not close to women, Gongsun Jian suspects that he is likely to have some kind of complex psychology like Zhang Xiaobao.
Although Pu Shang is in his forties, looking at other appearances, if you dress up seriously, you can be regarded as a mature and attractive uncle.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Chen, who lost his parents since he was a child, may have some kind of transcendent feelings for Pu Shang.
After all, a young man in his twenties and an uncle in his forties, the two can be called brothers, which is very unusual.
Especially Lu Chen is richer than Pu Shang, plus Lu Chen likes to read on weekdays, whether it is family background or conversation temperament, he is much higher than Pu Shang, a small vendor.
Therefore, if you want to say that the two of them have nothing to do with each other, you don't believe it when you kill Gongsun Jian.
It is precisely because of this that Pu Shang said that his wife had an affair with Lu Chen, and Gongsun Jian didn't believe it at all.
"My lord, would you be so kind?"
Just when Gongsun Jian was thinking nonsense, Gu Qing over there began to look at him with suspicious eyes.
Gu Qing's words made Gongsun Jian jump out of deep thought, glaring at him fiercely, Gongsun Jian said a little unhappily: "Brother Gu, I feel that there is something wrong with the meaning of your words?" ”
Gu Qing naturally understood where Gongsun Jian said that his words were wrong, but just now he just accidentally said what was in his heart.
At this time, seeing that Gongsun Jian was angry, he quickly laughed twice and said, "My lord, you should have heard it wrong just now, right?" ”
"Did you hear it wrong?" Gongsun Jian glanced at Gu Qing with suspicion, and then said, "Then you repeat it again, I'll hear if I heard it wrong." ”
Hearing Gongsun say this, Gongsun Gu Qing thought to himself that he had finally fooled you.
Therefore, he hurriedly said with a smile: "My lord, what I just said is that you are really a kind person. ”
For Gu Qing's words, of course Gongsun Jian would not believe it.
After all, he was not deaf, he naturally heard what Gu Qing said just now, and, most importantly, even if he didn't hear it clearly just now, Gu Qing's words could make Gongsun Jian understand that Gu Qing definitely said bad things about him just now.
After all, Gongsun Jian didn't say what Gu Qing said just now, and Gu Qing himself exposed his words.
Although it was the opposite of what he said just now, as long as he was a person with a little urgency, he could guess what Gu Qing was talking about just now.
Fortunately, Gongsun Jian didn't want to continue to entangle with Gu Qing, otherwise, Gu Qing would definitely understand what revenge from Gongsun was called.
At this time, more than half an hour had passed since Chen Guangrong went to investigate, and Gongsun Jian originally thought that he would not be able to find out today, but just as Gongsun Jian was about to let go to eat with Wei Peng, Chen Guangrong ran back out of breath.
"My lord, the matter has been clarified." After Chen Guangrong entered the door, he said to Gongsun Jian breathlessly.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gongsun Jian first nodded at him, and then said to Gu Qing: "Brother Gu, go and pour a cup of tea for Lao Chen." ”
"Yes, my lord." Although he was depressed in his heart, Gu Qing still nodded and took it.
After all, he had just made Gongsun Jian angry, although it seemed that he had fooled Gongsun Jian, but Gu Qing was still very apprehensive in his heart.
So even if he was asked to pour tea for Chen Guangrong, he could only pinch his nose and do it.
On the other side, Chen Guangrong saw that Gongsun Jian's first sentence was that he had worked hard, and his heart was particularly moved.
Especially seeing that Gongsun Jian was very intimate and asked Gu Qing to pour him a cup of tea, no matter how hard-hearted Chen Guangrong was, he was warmed by Gongsun Jian's double love at this time.
"My lord, I'm not hard, these are just small things." Chen Guangrong said with tears in his eyes and was extremely moved.
"Hey, what's the trivial matter" Gongsun Jian pretended to be very angry, and then said: "In my opinion, none of our criminal divisions do small things, they are all people who do big things. Therefore, a hard sentence can't represent my mood at all. ”
"My lord, do you really think so?" Chen Guangrong asked movingly.
"What do you mean I really see it that way, I've always seen it that way. If Da Zhou doesn't have our criminal department, then what kind of peace and security do you want? Therefore, I think that the reason why Da Zhou can become stronger and stronger is that our criminal department plays an important role in this. ”
"Yes, your Excellency, you're right." Seeing Gongsun Jian say this, Chen Guangrong also knew that he was too excited.
Seeing that he reacted, Gongsun Jian stopped talking about this issue, and hurriedly asked Chen Guangrong how the matter was investigated.
"Adult, after investigation, the villain found that Lu Chen seems to really have a problem." Chen Guangrong hurriedly told the truth he had investigated.
"Oh?" Gongsun Jian was very surprised by Chen Guangrong's answer, after all, he thought Lu Chen was innocent just now, but now when he heard Chen Guangrong's words, Gongsun Jian couldn't help but have some doubts, could he have guessed wrong.
