After more than ten days in the border valley, Geng Zhen was basically able to walk around on the ground, he really couldn't stand it, pestered his mother and Heping, so that he could find a few palanquin drivers from the border town and carry him back.

Then change the carriage and return to Ning County. Geng Xiaofan had already finished dealing with the errand of the Western Governor's Mansion and returned to Fuyang.

Geng Zhen was anxious to understand the case, but found that there had been a major "personnel" change in the Governor's Mansion.

Guo Ting is sick and has submitted his resignation to the court. For the time being, the government affairs are handled by Governor Shi Tangheng.

Tang Heng has been busy and dizzy these days, and he was overjoyed to see Geng Zhen, so he quickly took Shuai Yin out.

"What are you doing for me? What can I do like this? What about Tian Dan? Geng Zhen understands that if Guo Ting can't act, then he should indeed come according to his rank. But first, he was seriously ill and had not recovered, and secondly, the imperial court did not have a clear will. Therefore, he can't and dare not take this job.

"My lord doesn't know, Tian Dan has escorted Chang'an, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back alive."

"Ahh What did he do? Geng Zhen was even more surprised.

"Collusion with Hun bandits, smuggling military horses, mutilating innocents, hey! There are more crimes! Tang Heng hurriedly beckoned Geng Zhen to sit down, ready to talk to him slowly.

"It's all too shou-sama's decision?" Geng Zhen was a little tired from the "long journey", but he couldn't help but be curious and sat down.

"Yes! It's all about Lord Zun's decision. ”

"Oh! Did Tian Dan confess? ”

"Recruited, so much evidence, witnesses, how can he not recruit? It's just that I didn't expect him to be so insidious and vicious. If it weren't for Ling Zun's personal trial, I'm afraid everyone would still be in the dark. General Guo was also so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick. Ay! You don't know, Miss Guo too, ......" Tang Heng explained carefully.

"What's wrong with Miss Guo? By the way, what about her? Geng Zhen was a little excited when he heard the news of Guo Yuan.

"Hey! I don't know why, I had a big quarrel with General Guo and ran away from home! This kid is really, how can he lose his temper at this juncture and ignore his father! Tang Heng sighed.

"Running away from home?" Geng Zhen was taken aback, "What about Juchu?" ”

Ju Chu Gongzi followed Miss Guo away. By the way, he left you a box before leaving. Tang Heng quickly got up and went to the house to take out a delicate small wooden box.

Geng Zhen was puzzled, and opened it gently, but there was only one item inside, a string of red concentric knots! It was the one I saw on the street that day.

This is not what Ju Chu left for himself, it should be left by Guo Yuan.

Geng Zhen grabbed the concentric knot, feeling a tingling in his heart. Guo Yuan must have a heart for herself, but how can she accept her? Moreover, Geng Zhen felt from the bottom of her heart that she should be with Ju Chu.

"Oh! Master Tian, I want to go back to Fuyang with my mother to live in Fuyang for a few days to recuperate. You're in for now. Geng Zhen was a little confused in his heart, which was not what he thought. It seems that these can only be answered from Daddy.

After a few polite words with Tang Heng, Geng Zhen returned to Fuyang with his mother.

When Geng Xiaofan saw his son, he held back his tears, smiled, and pulled him into the study.

"The body can stand it! Knowing that you have a lot to ask, if you don't tell you, I'm afraid you won't have a good rest. Just ask! Geng Xiaofan poured his son a glass of water and sat down gently beside him.

"I want to know, how did you know we were in the border village." Geng Zhen really didn't know where to start.

"Heping should have told you, we found a box in that well."

"I know, I opened it, I only touched it and it seemed to be all bamboo slips, bamboo chips, accounts, what are they all recorded?"

"I remember all the black-hearted transactions He Liu has made for Tian Dan over the years."

"Tian Dan? Isn't it Guo Ting? Geng Zhen was a little surprised.

"Isn't Guo Ting behind Tiandan?"

"In this way, Tian Dan took all the blame for Guo Ting!" Geng Zhen understood.

"Anyway, he can't survive, and taking the blame for Guo Ting will only benefit him."

"Then let Guo Ting go like that?" Geng Zhen guessed his father's plans.

"He's already like that, if he doesn't let go, what else can he do? Moreover, after all, it was Guo Yuan who saved you this time. I can't help but return the favor. Geng Xiaofan replied calmly.

"Daddy! That's different! Guo Yuan is Guo Yuan, Guo Ting is Guo Ting! You can't do that kind of debt repayment from the father! Geng Zhen was a little unhappy.

"This is a very complicated matter, involving a case of killing the door ten years ago, but unfortunately, Tian Dan bit his tongue by himself, and the case cannot be retried, so it can only be doubted."

"You mean, Ju Chu's case! In fact, I have long suspected that it is Guo Ting behind it. But I don't know his motive for committing the crime, and I have no evidence. ”

"The motive is simple, it's nothing more than money!"

"Money? You mean, Guo Ting covets the money at home? Geng Zhen felt a little incredible.

"When the family moved north, they sold all their possessions, so when Juke arrived in Shanggu, he must have a lot of treasures in his hands. It's a pity that he met Guo Ting. At that time, Guo Ting was only a centurion, and Tian Dan was by his side at that time. If our guess is correct, the mastermind behind it is Guo Ting. It's just that he has been behind the scenes, and we don't have clear evidence. ”

That is to say, Guo Ting or Tian Dan colluded with the Huns to pretend to be enemies at home and did a case of extermination. Guo Ting and Tian Dan keep the treasures of the house for themselves? Geng Zhen speculated.

"Hmmm! Not only that, Ju Ke fought his way out of the siege under the cover of Bian Yang and escaped. What would you do if you were Güco? Geng Xiaofan asked.

"I, I'll find out all this and get revenge!"

"How would you check?"

"I, I will, I'll go find the Bian family first! In any case, I have to give the Bian family an explanation first! Geng Zhen felt a little enlightened in this question and answer.

"Therefore, Guo Ting and the others can't let Ju Ke live to meet the Bian family. Therefore, Ju Ke's later whereabouts must have been leaked by Guo Ting to his enemies. After Ju Ke's death, Guo Ting spread rumors that he was unkind and unjust, ignored his brothers, and provoked hatred between his family and the Bian family. Geng Xiaofan analyzed carefully, "That's not right!" In this case, why did Guo Ting still take Ju Chu in? ”

"Maybe it's because of a clear conscience, or maybe it's to hold the enemy in your own hands, isn't this the method that Guo Ting commonly uses?"

"I don't know if Ju Chu knows these circumstances, if he knows that his father-in-law is his father-killing enemy, I really don't know what he should do!" Geng Zhen sighed.

"He didn't know, at least not sure. You should have seen his skills, and he was willing to condescend to Guo's mansion, perhaps just to find out about these. Otherwise, when he found the box in the well, he would not have concealed it. He is indeed suspicious, and he is doing everything possible to find evidence. But he made a mistake that most men make. ”

"He's in love with someone he shouldn't love!" Geng Zhen blurted out that he was really worried about the future of Ju Chu and Guo Yuan at this time.
