Chapter 181 Confidants are in great trouble
Gao Zheng's reaction was expected by Gu Chuyu, and the taste of being betrayed was uncomfortable
Gu Chuyu walked to the hall and sat down, picked up the teacup, and asked indifferently: "How is it, are you still satisfied with his words?" ”
"It's nonsense, it's nonsense!" Gao Zheng reprimanded angrily, holding the booklet and arching his hand, "My lord, this is obviously someone who wants to fall into injustice, and I hope that my lord will learn from it." ”
"In your opinion, who wrote this document?"
Gao Zheng lowered his head and shook it, "I don't know what I do." ”
"Xuanzhou Tongzhi Gao Jingshu." Gu Chuyu gave him the answer, but Gao Zheng must have known this answer in his heart.
"Gao Jingshu, a white-eyed wolf, he didn't take care of him over the years, but he actually bit back!" Gao Zheng bowed down again, and said sincerely and seriously, "Gao Jingshu has ill intentions, he must have wanted to frame his humble position, so he made up these words, but adults must not believe it." ”
"If you are the same person, you should know in your heart now, what words are useful and what words are useless."
Gao Zheng maintained a saluting posture and buried his head, "I don't understand what adults mean. ”
"What would you do if you were to assume that it was true?"
Gao Zheng looked at Gu Chuyu in a panic, anxious: "Adult, don't trust the villain...... adult"
"The truth or falsity of the document does not matter to the original appearance, its usefulness lies in helping the original appearance to remove a serious problem." The corners of Gu Chuyu's lips rose slightly, "If the Ming Japanese Prime Minister makes it public, then the Ministry of Officials will be in the pocket of the Prime Minister." ”
Gao Zheng's face turned pale when he heard the words "confidant".
Since the fall of the Ministry of Industry, he has been careful not to make a mistake, thinking that if he settles down, he will be able to coexist in harmony with the Prime Minister, and not tear each other's faces, but he did not expect the Prime Minister to still regard him as a thorn in his side......
Gu Xiang not only was not afraid of him, but he even said that he wanted to take his life so bluntly and lightly.
"What is the purpose of keeping the documents in this picture, you know in your heart, if this image were you, you would not say some nonsense, what kind of false accusations, what nonsense...... Do these matter? Gu Chuyu said expressionlessly, glanced at Gao Zheng, and said in a low tone, "What you should say is something that can make Benxiang sanitize his heart." ”
Gao Zheng raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Humble duty...... I don't know what the prime minister wants to hear......"
"Your Majesty has a palace maid named Du Juan by her side, their family has been relieved by the eldest princess, and the eldest princess is loyal, so how about you, a colt?"
Gao Zheng was stunned. The document about the cuckoo was not written on it, because although he gave the painting to Gao Jingshu, he never mentioned how the painting got off the dragon boat. Now that Gu Xiang can mention the person Du Juan, it shows that he knows more than the content of the document.
"Didn't she be executed by His Majesty because of poor custody?"
"Who said that dead people can't speak, the female assassin last night had already committed suicide, didn't she say that she was a member of the Drifting Fire Gang?"
Gao Zheng knelt down with a "bang", and said in a panic: "My lord, the assassin's business really has nothing to do with the humble position." ”
"So what does it matter to you?"
Gao Zheng lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "Order the cuckoo to steal the painting, hand it over to Gao Jingshu, and let him try to put it in the Li Mansion." He looked at Gu Chuyu again, "My lord, this is the only thing that the lowly job does, the lowly position does not know about the assassin's affairs, it must be Gao Jingshu's idea, the lowly official has heard him say that he wants to buy the people of the Flowing Fire Gang to help him put out paintings, presumably the assassin is also hired by him from the Flowing Fire Gang." ”
Gao Zheng opened the document and looked at it again, and was very resentful: "Gao Jingshu actually put all the sins on the head of the lowly position, and did not mention that he participated in it, it is really despicable, and he wants to help him seek the position of prefect because of his lowly position." ”
Gu Chuyu said slowly: "It's just a theft case, you don't need to put in a book, a fellow knower, as long as one person is in charge of the law, the case can be closed." ”
When Gao Zheng heard this, he immediately knelt up straight, "Prime Minister, in the past, I was humble and did not do my best to oppose the adult, and I hope that the adult can ignore the past suspicion and spare the humble position this time." ”
"Regardless of the previous suspicions, the four words are too light, but you are a good official, and you can't find a person who can replace you for a while, so it doesn't hurt to give you a chance." Gu Chuyu pointed to the document in his hand, "His writing is unsatisfactory, you can rewrite one, so that the book can be treasured." ”
Gao Zheng knew what Gu Chuyu's intentions were. Gao Jing wrote this document as a complaint, and when he wrote it, it was called confession, which would be the handle he was pinched in by Gu Xiang, but having a handle is better than not dying......
Gu Chuyu summoned the attendant to offer a pen and paper, waited for a stick of incense, and waited for Gao Zheng to put down the pen.
Gao Zheng didn't wait for Gu Chuyu's reminder, he had already pressed his handprint at the registration place, and presented a paper full of words with both hands.
When Gu Chuyu glanced at him, Gao Zheng turned to him and kowtowed slowly, "From now on, the lowly will lead the ministers to be loyal to the Prime Minister, but the orders of the adults will be obeyed, and there will be no dissent." ”
"Get up."
"Master Xie." Gao Zheng stood up, still keeping his head down, and it wasn't until Gu Chuyu looked at him that he raised his head and smiled at Gu Chuyu to show his sincerity.
"I'm glad you can do that." Gu Chuyu said politely, and then the corners of his lips rose, and he said, "In the future, if you have different intentions, it doesn't matter, I will kill you first, and then announce your handwritten letter to the world." ”
Gao Zheng lowered his head in horror, not daring to look at Gu again, he only felt Gu Xiang's smile...... Hiding a knife.
After Gu Chuyu let Gao Zheng leave, Wei Shuying pushed open the door of the apse and came out, shaking the folding fan, and laughing: "Didn't he rely on himself to be a colt and want to walk sideways in the middle of the court, now it's okay, the crab's foot was cut by you, and I'm afraid I will have to climb in the future." ”
Wei Shuying closed the folding fan again and knocked on Gu Chuyu's shoulder, "You have a good idea, I heard that the royal family around the eldest princess is extremely supportive of him, if you kill him, the eldest princess and they will inevitably go to His Majesty to twitter, it is better to take him for their own use, in this way, won't the officials and the eldest princess listen to you?" ”
Gu Chuyu glanced at Wei Shuying, "Don't write your stuff yet." ”
"It's just imitating the handwriting of a palace maid, it's a small meaning, and you won't miss Brother Mei's errand."
Xuanzhou Mansion.
Li Qingqing and Mrs. Li came to Yamen early in the morning to visit Governor Li's mansion. Mei Xiaoren didn't disturb their family talking, and waited outside the prison alone.
Li Qingqing came out of it first, and pulled Mei Xiaoren to the side to the corner to talk.
"Brother Mei, the maidservant who assassinated the prime minister was not an old man in the house, but a housekeeper who just bought it last month." Li Qingqing thought for a while and said, "There are two others who entered the mansion with her, one has been driven out of the mansion by my mother before, and the remaining one has disappeared recently, I suspect that they are a gang, and they are the ones who blame my father." ”
Mei Xiaoren asked: "What is the name of the missing maidservant, is there a portrait?" ”
"It's called Qingying, and it has the same Qingzi as my name, I remember her." Li Qingqing said again, "When the portrait is returned, I will ask the people in the house to draw it for you." ”
