Chapter 9: The Scapegoat

Gu Yanzhong looked at Fang Tianruo's shameless expression, and really wanted to kick him.

Lord Zhang lay on the ground for the first half of his life, his two arms were also attached to the ground, and he kept kowtowing to Fang Tianruo, and begged in his mouth: "Lord Fang, please go around me!" ”

"Knock, knock, knock." Master Zhang's forehead slammed evenly on the ground, and a small round lump was obviously red on his forehead, and he seemed to hit Gu Yanzhong's heart every time.

Gu Yanzhong clutched the document on his chest tightly with one hand, and the beam of the room with the other, exhaled deeply, and slowly spit it out.

His chest was like a big stone, and it was hard to breathe. He wanted to take the stone away, but he didn't know how.

Master Zhang was still kowtowing, his face was pale and pale, his forehead was sweating, and his body was trembling.

Gu Yanzhong saw helplessness in his eyes, and also saw the extreme panic in his heart.

Gu Yanzhong looked at him, and suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, feeling empty, and couldn't say why.

This kind of panic is like driving a small boat in the endless sea in the vast dark night, without modern navigation equipment, without a compass, not even the stars in the sky, and there are gusts of cold wind blowing on the sea, wave after wave.

It is possible to be overturned by a wave at any time, and it can be swept into the whirlpool and sink to the bottom of the sea at any time.

The only way to do this was to row, to keep rowing, but not knowing where to go.

Gu Yanzhong wanted to go down and help him up, but he also knew that he couldn't do it now.

He looked at Fang Tianruo again, his eyes were extremely arrogant, there was no pity at all, and he threw a contemptuous look at Lord Zhang from time to time.

Gu Yanzhong really wanted to jump down, slam the document in his face, and give him two loud slaps.

"Okay, okay, don't knock it off." Fang Tianruo said impatiently.

Master Zhang's face was a little soothed, and he seemed to see a glimmer of hope in his confusion, and he reached out and slowly grabbed Fang Tianruo's sleeve.

Fang Tianruo glanced at Lord Zhang, shook his sleeves fiercely, and said, "Lord Zhang, this document will be handed over to Lord Zeng tomorrow, and now that the document is lost, the entire Privy Council can't get out of it." ”

Gu Yanzhong said secretly in his heart: It's you, not the entire Privy Council.

Fang Tianruo grabbed Lord Zhang's collar and continued: "I'll give you two ways now, one is that you take the initiative to take this matter, saying that I asked you to give the documents to Master Zeng, and you accidentally lost it on the way." If you take this matter down, I will ask Master Zhang to intercede for you. ”

Gu Yanzhong shrugged his shoulders and thought: If you say something like this, the ghost won't believe it, and you will take it out to deceive people? Master Zhang, don't believe it, if you can really intercede, why doesn't he go himself, he wants you to go.

Fang Tianruo continued: "Second, you wrote a suicide note by yourself, saying that you were derelict in your duty and lost it, and committed suicide in fear of sin!" ”

"Suicide in fear of sin?!" Gu Yan's center tightened, his eyes subconsciously narrowed into a line, looking at Fang Tianruo.

"My lord, I still have a younger brother...... "Lord Zhang stretched out his hand to Fang Tianruo again.

Fang Tianruo held his hand and said, "If you bear it, my brother will ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing in the future." But if you don't take ......"

Fang Tianruo said, shook off Lord Zhang's hand fiercely, kicked on Lord Zhang's stomach and said, "Think about it yourself!" ”

"My lord......" Lord Zhang lay on the ground, turned over, and wanted to crawl over.

"Get out!" Fang Tianruo dropped another sentence, "Lord Zhang, you'd better take responsibility for things honestly." You'd better not have other crooked thoughts, even if you go up, you think about Lord Zhang, whether you will listen to you or mine. ”

Master Zhang propped his hands on the ground, and leaned on the wall next to him, slowly stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his head, and gently opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, the officials who were eavesdropping outside the door hurriedly dispersed.

He slowly returned to his seat with his heavy body propped up, his body had no strength at all, and beads of sweat like soybeans were on his forehead.

The officials all looked at Master Zhang, some shook their heads helplessly, some sighed deeply, and some looked at Fang Tianruo, wanting to say something, but stopped talking.

Fang Tianruo looked at the officials and scolded mercilessly: "What do you see, you don't want to live?" ”

Gu Yanzhong touched his chest and accidentally touched the jade pendant on his waist, the jade pendant knocked on the beam of the room, and he hurriedly grabbed the jade pendant.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of being shaken. This jade pendant was found by him in a piece of bones in a dry well, the owner of this jade pendant didn't know what to do with Fang Tianruo, he actually killed someone.

He held the jade pendant tightly, his eyes slowly moistened, and he said secretly in his heart: Is it that you can't even look at it, and you want to come out to seek justice for Lord Zhang.

Gu Yanzhong thought about it, tied the jade pendant around his waist, clenched his fists tightly, and looked at Fang Tianruo, his eyes revealing incomparable anger. If he could, he really wanted to kill such a scum with one punch.

He exhaled deeply, breathed directly into his dantian, and slowly exhaled little by little, and his whole body slowly relaxed.

He closed his eyes and repeated in his mind like a repeater telling himself, calm, calm......

Gu Yanzhong calmed down for a while, and began to analyze this matter in his heart, what should be done.

Every time he encounters something he doesn't know how to do, he always filters it through his mind from beginning to end.

Then, in this case, those things must be done, those things can be done later, and those things have found a solution.

Gu Yan Center has affirmed that this document must be taken out and innocent people cannot be implicated. Anyway, he provoked this matter, and he couldn't let Master Zhang be wronged.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, is it not too late to take revenge on Fang Tianruo now, this matter can be slowed down.

But how to take it out? And he doesn't implicate himself, but also proves the innocence of Master Zhang, and there is no score in Gu Yan's center. In the past, I only thought about how to steal it, but I didn't think about how to return it.

The result of Fang Tianruo asking Master Zhang to take the initiative to bear the matter suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt like he had suddenly been grabbed by something, and he felt an indescribable guilt.

When he opened his eyes, Fang Tianruo was still pacing back and forth in the room, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gu Yanzhong's right fingers lightly tapped on the beam, his eyes staring at Fang Tianruo, patiently waiting for the opportunity to escape.

Now, the first thing to do is not to let Master Zhang take the initiative to bear the consequences.

He kept staring at Lord Zhang, feeling uneasy in his heart, he was not sure that during this period of time, Lord Zhang would not, suddenly, go and tell Zeng Bu and bear the consequences.

His heart began to be chaotic again, but he also knew that what could he do if it was chaotic?

Wait and wait!

Gu Yan's center was in a hurry, and he felt like he was on pins and needles, and every minute that passed seemed like he was in endless torment.

He was sweating profusely from his back and breathing unevenly, and he tried not to be so nervous.

Actually, if it was his own business, he wouldn't be so nervous.

The point is, he doesn't know what Master Zhang thinks.

If Master Zhang really has something wrong because of this incident, he is afraid that he will not be able to feel at ease in his life.

So, he absolutely couldn't let that happen.

He stared at Master Zhang deadly, and secretly decided in his heart that if he really had to go out and take the initiative to bear the consequences, he would definitely not care about anything, jump directly from the beam, and say that the document was stolen by himself. One person does things and one person does it!

Time passed like this, minute by minute, everyone went home one after another, and only the huge house remained, Fang Tianruo in the inner room, Master Zhang in the outer room, and of course, Gu Yanzhong on the beams.

Fang Tianruo stretched, pinched his arm, walked to the outhouse, patted it, and sat on the stool.

Master Zhang's face, which was like a white piece of paper, was slapped by him, and it quickly turned red.

Only then did Master Zhang come back to his senses and look at Fang Tianruo, Fang Tianruo said lightly: "Go back early, accompany your brother more, maybe, you will be in prison tomorrow." ”

After Fang Tianruo finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Gu Yanzhong saw through the window that Fang Tianruo's back was already far away, he hurriedly jumped down from the beam of the room, jumped over, like a flying arrow, swished, and jumped out of the window.

At this moment, the big stone in his heart also fell. He suddenly felt the thrill of escaping from prison, and his whole body felt like he was about to fly.

He quickly came out of the backyard over the wall and walked in through the front door. Master Zhang was still sitting there.

From Master Zhang's body, he saw the shadow of Master Zhao.

"Master Zhang, why are you still here so late!" Gu Yanzhong asked.

Master Zhang's eyes were red and swollen, his voice was choked, and he wanted to say something, but he felt that something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

He stood up, and before he could stand firmly, he sat down in his chair again.

Gu Yanzhong hurriedly went over to help him up and said, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Master Zhang lowered his head, shook his head, and a crystal tear fell.

Gu Yanzhong saw despair and reluctance in his eyes.

He suddenly grabbed Gu Yanzhong's hand, knelt on the ground and said, "I know that you know Zhang Dan, and you have a different relationship with Master Zhang. The lower official has something to ask you, please help me. ”

He grabbed Gu Yanzhong tightly, and Gu Yanzhong felt on his arm that his hand was about to sink into his flesh.

"My lord, you get up first, and then you get up!" Gu Yanzhong pulled him up hard, he dragged Gu Yanzhong, and Gu Yanzhong felt that his arm was about to be broken by him.

"If you don't promise me, I won't get up." Master Zhang said and grabbed Gu Yanzhong again.

Gu Yanzhong looked at another deep imprint on the back of his hand, the area around the imprint was red, and there was a trace of shallow blood in the place where Master Zhang's hand touched the back of his hand.

With so much effort, this guy is difficult, let me take him to sue Fang Tianruo, if this is the case, I will definitely join forces with you and knock him down with one blow.

Gu Yanzhong dragged it hard again, and was dragged back by him, saying, "I promise you, promise you, you get up first and then talk about it, my arm is about to be broken by you." ”
