Chapter 2: The Demon Book Case
Although he was very anxious, Guo Zhiyuan seemed very calm on the surface, and bowed slightly to the crying women: "Let a few aunts be frightened, everything in the family has me, I will definitely rescue my father, please let a few aunts ...... relieved", said and turned to Wang Xi behind him and said sharply: "Wang Xi, don't you ask a few aunts to go back to the room to rest!" Wang Xi responded, trotted away with the crying women.
As soon as a few crying and crying female dependents left, the chaotic scene finally calmed down completely, Guo Zhiyuan nodded at Guo Jingzhong and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhong, you come to the study with me!" After speaking, he strode towards the inner courtyard.
Guo Jingzhong was still a little stunned for a while, he was really a little unbelievable about Guo Zhiyuan's sudden change, he was calm and decisive, and he turned a family crisis into an invisible in a moment, is this still the straw bale young master before? And Guo Zhiyuan has always called him "old dog", when did he become so polite? Guo Jingzhong shook his head vigorously and muttered, "Why did the young master suddenly change his sex?" Could it really be that God has opened his eyes? If the lord knew, I don't know how happy I would be! ......" hurriedly chased after him.
Guo Zhiyuan was thinking hard about how to save his cheap father as he walked, and he was familiar with history, so he naturally knew how tricky this "demon book case" was. The "Demon Book Case" is known in history as one of the four strange cases of the Ming Dynasty, originating from a book called "Continuing the Worries and Dangers", because the book disclosed that the Wanli Emperor's favorite Zheng Guifei premeditated to contact more than a dozen important ministers in the court, including Shen Yiyi, the head of the cabinet, to try to depose the crown prince, so it was called the "Demon Book", and the appearance of this book made the Wanli Emperor, who had the intention of changing the prince but had to give up because of the strong opposition of the Chinese official group of the dynasty, was very angry, and ordered Dongchang, Jinyiwei and the five cities to patrol the whole city of Yamen to search for the initiator of the "Demon Book", The people involved in this case have fallen into bad luck, so that everyone inside and outside the court is in danger, lest they be implicated.
To put it bluntly, the "Demon Book Case" is a party dispute incident between various factions in the DPRK and China because of the struggle for the crown prince, and a big event like this involving the battle for the throne is a big taboo no matter which dynasty it is, and if it is involved, it is nine deaths and one life, and it is not easy to save this cheap father who wants to save himself!
Guo Zhiyuan grabbed his hair hard, whenever he encountered something tricky, he would involuntarily make this action, after some calm thinking, Guo Zhiyuan also sorted out some clues, for the sake of today, it is better to go to the prison first to see the situation of his cheap dad, how dark the prison of Jinyiwei is known to the world, if the cheap dad has been tortured to death, then everything will really be over.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly turned his head sharply and said to Guo Jingzhong urgently: "Uncle Zhong, you have always been in charge of the family's property, how much money do you have on hand now?" ……”。
Guo Jingzhong sighed in his heart when he heard this, this young master should not be cute again, at this time, he still wants money to spend time and wine, so he hurriedly covered the money bag and said vigilantly: "Young master, the master has confessed, I can't just give you money ......."
Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seemed that his previous credit was really bad, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhong, you misunderstood, now that my father is in prison, I naturally want to rescue him, you also know that money can make ghosts grind, I want to save my father naturally need to be fixed, how can I do it without money?" And if my father can't get out, his money must be left to me, but if my father can't come out, what's the use of asking for money? …………”。
Guo Jingzhong's face was a little pale, and he took out a few crumpled silver tickets from the money bag and handed them to Guo Zhiyuan with some hesitation, Guo Zhiyuan clicked, there were only more than nine hundred taels of silver tickets in total, so he frowned and said, "Is that all?" ……”。
"The lord has always been honest, and the expenses in the house are not small, but now there is only so much cash that can be taken out, and then there are ......some real estate such as land deeds and land deeds," Guo Jingzhong said with a bitter face.
Guo Zhiyuan nodded, it seems that his cheap dad is indeed incorruptible, you must know that in the modern times before he crossed, those deputy ministerial-level senior officials who were investigated and punished, the embezzled money was often tens of millions of dollars, which also made Guo Zhiyuan have a little more respect for his cheap father, nodded, folded the silver ticket into his arms, explained a few words to Guo Jingzhong, and asked him to take care of the family affairs, and then strode out.
Guo Zhiyuan didn't have much clue about how to rescue Guo Zhengyu, Guo Zhengyu must have been wronged, but the "Demon Book Case" was originally a suspicious case, and the history books did not say who was the initiator of this "Demon Book Case", so although Guo Zhiyuan had the advantage of crossing, he couldn't think of any clever plan for a while, and the top priority was to visit Guo Zhengyu in prison first, confirm that his life was not in danger, and then slowly think of a way.
Since ancient times, prisons have been the most gloomy place, the high blue-gray prison walls, and the black prison doors with heavy iron edges, all give people an extremely depressing feeling, especially the golden raccoon pattern on the door that is lifelike as if it wants to choose people to eat, which is even more terrifying!
Before Guo Zhiyuan could get closer, the two guards at the door pointed at him viciously and shouted, "Stop! This is a prison place, and idlers avoid it! ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan knew that the king of Hades was easy to find, but the little ghost was difficult to deal with, so he walked over unhurriedly, and smiled at one of the jailers who looked like the head of the cell: "This lord, I am here to visit my father, and please make it convenient!" ……”。
The cell head is just a small official who doesn't even have a grade, and he is not qualified to be called an "adult", but who doesn't like to be complimented, so Guo Zhiyuan's "adult" makes the cell head really useful, and his face is a little pale, but he naturally can't pretend to him because of Guo Zhiyuan's "adult", and still put on a businesslike face and scolded: "The people who are locked up here are all court felons, how can you see it if you want to see it?" If you don't leave, I'll arrest you together!" ……”。
However, the careful Guo Zhiyuan noticed that the fingers of the cell head rubbed slightly, and immediately understood, took out a silver ticket from his arms and quietly stuffed it into the hand of the cell head with his hand, the cell head glanced at it quickly, and rolled it up like magic, and the silver ticket disappeared, it seems that he is a veteran of collecting black money.
After receiving the money, the cell leader's face finally looked better, and he said in a long tone: "It's not easy to see your filial piety, what's your father's name?" ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan reported Guo Zhengyu's name, and the cell leader's face changed, and he pressed the saber on his waist, pointed at Guo Zhiyuan and shouted: "Guo Zhengyu is an important criminal in the "Demon Book Case", and the boss specially confessed that no one is allowed to visit!" You leave quickly, or don't blame me for being unkind! ……”。
