Chapter 178: Fishing for People
Gongsun Yan was angry, but there was nothing he could do, he pointed at Lu Tong with his finger, wanting to scold him a few words, but he endured it again, thinking: "I'll put up with you for the time being, don't make the relationship stiff, don't even do Su Qin's imprisonment, it won't be worth the loss." β
Chen Zhi saw that Gongsun Yan and Lu Tong had a dispute, and wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he gave up with interest.
He didn't have a good impression of Su Qin from the first sight, three years ago in Quwo City, when he saw Su Qin for the first time, he felt that he was clever and eloquent, so that his brother Chen Xu didn't even listen to his cousin's opinion.
Since then, Chen Zhi has been dissatisfied with Su Qin, and he has also become resentful of his brother Chen Xu. Later, Chen Xu became the state minister of Wei, but he did not reuse Chen Zhi for a long time, so he switched to Chu in a fit of anger and became a doctor with a high official rank.
Last year, Chen Zhi went to the Qin State and met Gongsun Yanhou, the smell was similar, and the two became good friends, so this time Gongsun Yan went to the Zhou royal family, and Chen Zhi also came with him for a long time.
Now, Su Qin has fallen into the hands of his friend Gongsun Yan, and it seems that he is worried about his life, Chen Zhi gloated in his heart, he was happy that Su Qin had this fate.
However, he and Su Qin didn't have any deep hatred, so there was no need to add fuel to the fire. Seeing that it was not appropriate to help anyone, Chen Zhi simply watched coldly and said nothing.
Lu Tong looked at Gongsun Yan and found that he was so refuted by himself that he had nothing to say, and his heart was triumphant: "Your Gongsun Yan still can't listen to me, in Luoyang, or I, Lu Tong, talk and count, where can it be your turn to be Gongsun Yan?" β
Lu Tong's eyes rolled, and he had a new idea, he thought: "Your Gongsun Yan is in a hurry to execute Su Qin, why should I be your tool to realize your wish." This person has a close relationship with Xu Gao, the richest man in Luoyang, and he ruined my fortune plan last time, and this time he can use Su Qin to recover his losses. β
He shook his head and had a bad plan in his heart: "If you threaten Xu Gao with Su Qin's crime of fornicating in the office, let him ransom people with money, and don't give more than a thousand gold, he will never let people go." That Xu Gao really didn't give a ransom, and it was not too late to kill Su Qin and give Gongsun Yan a favor. β
Lu Tong felt that the new idea was very wonderful, he could make a profit without killing Su Qin, and he could also benefit by killing Su Qin. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Gongsun Yan looked at Lu Tong and smiled, and he wanted to kill Su Qin but couldn't, his heart was furious, he glared at Su Qin fiercely, and scolded: "Let your child stay for a few more days, my Gongsun Yan will definitely take your life." β
LΓΌ Tong ordered the guards to escort Su Qin to the prison of Si Kou's Mansion and wait for Zhou Tianzi's order to dispose of it. The guards pushed Su Qin, walked from the back door of the palace to the outside of the palace, and went all the way to Si Kou's mansion.
At this time, it was already dusk, and Wu Jing was still waiting for Su Qin by the moat outside the palace, and after waiting for a long time, there was no trace of Su Qin, and Wu Jing also became restless.
He really wanted to leave. But the master had an order to follow Su Qin. Wu Jing is a loyal person who strictly implements his master's instructions, so he has been waiting with anxiety.
Later, I finally saw movement at the back door of the palace, but when I looked at it, I couldn't help but be shocked:
I saw Su Qin being tied up with five flowers and escorted out by the guards. Wu Jing also thought that Su Qin would be rewarded by Zhou Tianzi, and no matter how bad he was, he would return in vain, who would have expected him to suffer such a miserable experience.
Wu Jing thought to himself: "The master asked me to be Su Qin's entourage, I can't just leave him behind, I still quietly follow those guards to see where they are going?" β
Wu Jing followed the guards, and when he saw that they escorted Su Qin to Sikou's Mansion, he understood: Su Qin was put in prison.
Wu Jing hurriedly turned the horse's head and drove the car towards Su Qin's residence, he wanted to report the news to Su Qin's family as soon as possible.
When he arrived at Su Qin's residence, Wu Jing jumped out of the carriage and rushed into the courtyard. At this time, Su Dai and the others had already returned home, and Su's father had not left yet.
Wu Jing stumbled to tell Su Qin's family what he had seen. When Father Su heard it, it was like five thunderbolts, and he screamed, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning and he fell in the small courtyard.
Su Dai and others helped Su's father, pinched his acupoint, and hurriedly rescued Su's father.
Father Su opened his eyes, and his first reaction was to grab Su Dai's hand tightly, and asked anxiously: "Dai'er, you guys quickly think of a way to save your brother Qin'er, even if he is prodigal, he will not die of a crime." β
Everyone talked about it for a while, and Su Dai analyzed the most: "My brother entered the palace with a loyal heart, even if Zhou Tianzi doesn't like to listen to his advice, he will not be imprisoned, because after all, my brother is just a grass people, and he is not worthy of Zhou Tianzi's anger." β
He paused and said solemnly: "I think that when things have evolved to such a situation, someone must have framed them, it may be that my brother offended some important person in the palace, and was lured to the palace by others, and was arrested for a crime." β
Su Dai analyzed this, so he turned his head and asked Wu Jingdao: "You have been by my brother's side during this time, bother you to think about it, has he offended anyone?" β
Wu Jing scratched his head, thought for a long time, and replied: "Mr. Su rarely interacts with outsiders, and the person he interacts with is only my master. It's too late for my master to thank him, so how can he frame him? I can't really remember it for a while. β
Su Dai heard Wu Jing talk about Xu Gao, so he didn't get angry, and said in his heart: "It's not that your master Xu Gao has repeatedly disturbed my brother, so that he can let go of his quiet life, but he has caused trouble." You're in a hurry to defend your master! β
Su Dai asked Wu Jingdao coldly again: "Then think about whether your master Xu Gao has offended anyone recently, maybe my brother has also been implicated." β
Wu Jing stroked his chin with his hand, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "My master has made too many friends, and there should be a lot of enemies." If you want to talk about the recent major event, it may be the time when the fake Heavenly Master Wenqing was exposed. β
Wu Jing said truthfully: "Wenqing was introduced by Lu Tong, a Chinese scholar in the palace, and later after their deception was exposed, Lu Tong secretly ran away. β
When Su Dai heard this, he scolded angrily: "My brother offended Lu Tong, the favorite Zhongshu in the palace, because he helped your master Xu Gao, so he was lured to the palace to frame him." Do you really not understand or do you not understand! β
Wu Jing's reaction was not as fast as Su Dai's, he could quickly figure out the way of the matter, he was actually still confused, he stared at the ring, and complained to Su Dai: "If you have something to say, why do you scold people for no reason." β
Su Dai looked at Wu Jing and didn't want to talk nonsense with Wu Jing anymore, so he asked Wu Jing to drive quickly and take himself to see Xu Gao. Wu Jing was very neat in doing these jobs, and he hurriedly went to the courtyard to tidy up the car. Father Su and Ning Jun also went with Su Dai, and Su Dai nodded and agreed.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and Su Dai and the others didn't even have time to eat dinner, so they hurried to Xu's mansion.
The gatehouse of the Xu Mansion saw Su Dai and the others, and asked them to wait at the gate of the mansion for a while, so that they could go to the master. Su Dai pushed open the gatehouse, let Wu Jing lead the way, and went straight to the place where Xu Gao often had dinner.
Wu Jing led Su Dai and the others to the southwest of Xu's mansion, where there was a large courtyard with high walls, Su Dai was so anxious that he couldn't pass through, and rushed straight into the courtyard.
He ran to the big room in the middle of the main room, pushed open the door and looked, and saw Xu Gao holding a woman in his arms, talking about wine, the woman was sitting in Xu Gao's arms, holding a glass of wine in her hand, and feeding it to Xu Gao's mouth.
Xu Gao stroked the woman's arms, a man and a woman laughed while eating.
