Chapter One Hundred and Nine
Zhao was taken aback by the posture of that group of people, and then thought of the rumors in the village this morning, so he guessed that this group of officials had come to trouble the East Courtyard, but they just came along the main gate and went wrong.
"Did the poor masters make a mistake? What you're looking for should be someone related to Gu Jiang's clan, right? Those people live in the East Courtyard, right over there. Our West Courtyard is honest and has never done anything! Zhao hurriedly smiled.
The leading official said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and call Gu Sibei out!" ”
Zhao was shocked: "How can it be Gu Sibei?" Shouldn't the poor master be looking for Gu Siyan? ”
"Who do I need to talk nonsense with you?" The official said impatiently, "Hurry up and call Gu Sibei out, Niu Er has been recruited, and Gu Sibei asked him to do it." ”
It turned out that the fourth brother was poisoned? The Zhao family couldn't say anything about Gu Sibei's good job now, and he was annoyed to death in his heart! The boss told him that he couldn't hurt people's lives, and that bastard didn't listen and had to be poisoned, so it's okay, everyone in their West Courtyard was affected!
The Zhao family was stunned, standing there motionless, and the people in the yamen were impatient to wait, so they pushed the door directly in.
Qiao Shi heard the movement outside and came out to take a look, and was also startled: "What are these officials here for?" ”
"What about Gu Sibei? Call him out! Yesterday, our county lady held a birthday banquet, and a cart of chrysanthemums sent by your Gu family was poisonous, and we caught the poisoned person, Niu Er in our county government. That Niu Er said that Gu Sibei of your family asked him to poison him, and the medicine was also given to him by Gu Sibei, and we were about to catch Gu Sibei and go back to ask. ”
Qiao Shi hurriedly said: "Official, this is all a misunderstanding!" The fourth child in our family has always been well-behaved and obedient, and he will never do such a thing, this must be a frame-up! It must be Gu Siyan and his daughter-in-law who poisoned people, didn't want to admit their guilt, and deliberately dragged my son! ”
"Is it really brought back to the yamen, and you will know it as soon as you ask? If he really didn't do anything, can we adults still wronged him? This time, it was our county lady who was killed! The official said viciously.
"Husband...... Madame ...... "Qiao's legs and feet were weak, and he almost fainted. She didn't care who died, but she really didn't expect Gu Sibei to harm Mrs. County Ling! This killed the lady of the county, even if the yamen can't find evidence, I'm afraid that I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go!
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to support Qiao.
Several brothers in the West Courtyard also hurriedly walked out when they heard the voice, Gu Sibei felt bad when he saw this scene, but he still pretended to be calm.
The official asked, "Who is Gu Sibei among you?" ”
At this time, none of the three brothers dared to go out and admit it, Qiao Shi looked at his three sons, his mind turned a few times, and he almost said that Gu Sibei was gone. But now it's Gu Sixi who is not there, and he ran away early in the morning, and it has nothing to do with the guy named Niu Er, even if he wants to climb, he can't climb. What's more, although she is partial to Gu Sibei, Gu Sixi has always made her happy, and she is also her second favorite, this palm and back of her hand are full of meat, where is she willing to let Gu Sixi take the blame?
Although Gu Sidong is not as sweet as Gu Sixi, as the eldest son, he is more stable and capable, and his daughter-in-law is a good hand in the family, so the old family can't have an accident. As for the third child, she is usually silent, although her daughter-in-law has a sweet mouth but does not like to work, and the couple's shop is not running well......
Qiao's heart was ruthless, and he walked over and pulled Gu Sinan out: "These officials are looking for you, you can go with them first." Don't worry, my mother believes that you haven't done anything like that, and you will be fine. ”
Gu Sinan was stunned, but he didn't react. And Gu Sidong was also stunned, he never thought that his mother would drag the third brother, who had always been quiet and unassertive, out to apologize for the fourth brother. Sure enough, it was right for the second brother to run away at the beginning, but the fourth brother's methods were ruthless, and his mother was unprincipled in favor of the fourth brother.
Seeing this, Sun was about to go crazy: "Mother, what are you doing?" This is the third child in our family! His name is Gu Sinan, and he is not called Gu Si ...... at all."
"Shut up! I know you can't bear to be your own man, but you can't let other brothers accompany him unlucky, can you? Qiao interrupted her, "It's to blame him for his carelessness in making friends on weekdays and meeting people who maliciously climb him." But as long as he hadn't done it, he would have come back safely! ”
Seeing this, Sun wanted to pull Gu Sibei again: "Obviously he is the ......"
The Li family hurriedly dragged his man away, not giving the Sun family a chance to approach: "Fourth brother and sister, I know you are in a hurry, but you can't pull our family San Lang to take the blame, right?" ”
Gu Sinan reacted at this time, looked at Qiao's and said in disbelief: "Mother, am I really your son?" ”
Qiao Shi turned his face uncomfortably: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Of course you are my son, and just because you are my son, I hope you can clarify yourself sooner. ”
"Mother-"
Sun still wanted to speak, but was dragged in by Li's arm, Qiao gestured to Zhao with his eyes, although Zhao had an uneasy conscience, he still helped Li drag Sun down together.
"Mother, don't touch her. If I can't come back this time, the lady and a few children will be handed over to you to take care of, you have to treat them well, I will watch from underground. ”
Gu Sinan said this very seriously, which startled Qiao's family.
Qiao Shi hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" You'll be back safe. ”
Gu Sinan said again: "Even if I come back safely, you are not my mother anymore, I will not recognize you again, and I will not listen to you again in the future, anyway, you will no longer be my son." ”
Qiao's felt uncomfortable when she heard this, it was the first time she met this son who had never been silent and refuted so badly that she didn't even recognize her as a mother. Although she did go too far this time, the fourth child is also his younger brother, isn't she? As an older brother, he should love his younger brother, right?
Qiao Shi wanted to say something, but when he saw Gu Sibei's eyes, he didn't say anything after all. Now the more you talk about it, the easier it is to be exposed, so it's better to let the official take the third child away as soon as possible.
Qiao's family, Gu Sibei and the others were fooled, and Gu Sidong didn't dare to make a noise, but those yacha were not stupid, and immediately waved their hands and said, "Take all three of them away!" ”
Now Qiao's was very surprised: "What does this mean, official?" Didn't Fang just take my youngest son? How do you ...... now?"
"Originally, it was for Gu Sibei, we checked before we came, Gu Sixi left Songyue County a long time ago, and it has nothing to do with this matter. As for the old lady's remaining three sons, they all look very similar, and the old lady is confused, so we have to take all three of them away to investigate. ”
Gu Sibei was dissatisfied: "How can the poor master arrest people casually? ”
"What's casual? Who knows if you've discussed it together to poison someone? Take it all away! ”
Seeing that the official really planned to escort all three of their brothers away, the Qiao family and the Li family and the Zhao family who had just come out hurriedly went to stop them. However, even if the three of them cried, made trouble, and hanged themselves, they didn't dare to cry anymore when they saw the officials draw their swords.
Although Gu Sibei pretended to be calm, he knew that once he went to the Yamen, everything would be over, and although the physical evidence had been destroyed by him early in the morning, it took him so long to contact Niu Er, and Niu Er had already touched him thoroughly, and he would have no chance of winning if he confronted him in court.
The Li family was very clear about Gu Sibei's affairs, and he knew this in his heart, and when the official escorted the three Gu brothers out of the door, he suddenly pounced on Gu Sinan.
"Fourth brother, you can admit it, this is all your idea, and it has nothing to do with our husband, right?"
Gu Sinan's face was blank, as if he hadn't heard anything. The Li family didn't care about this, she didn't say it to Gu Sinan in the first place, she was waiting for Qiao's choice.
Qiao's was a little hesitant, she wanted Gu Sinan to go over instead of Gu Sibei, because she felt that Gu Sinan had not done it, maybe there was a way to escape, although the chance was slim, but she could still deceive herself. But if she wanted to open her mouth directly and let Gu Sinan die, she wouldn't be able to do it even if she was eccentric for a while.
"Fourth brother, I beg you, save your third brother! He had never been very smart, how could he be involved in such a thing? He has always been the most filial, and he never makes his mother sad! Li Shi howled again, "Your third brother has always been in poor health, how can you get to a place like the county government?" ”
Qiao's suddenly, yes, when the children were young, she felt the most distressed about the fourth child. Even if Gu Sixi could already speak sweetly at that time, she still felt sorry for Gu Sibei, who was the weakest in her body. She gave birth to four sons in one child, the first three are about the same age, only Gu Sibei is a big circle smaller than the other three brothers, even if he grows up, he is the thinnest, which has always made her feel distressed, for fear that this child will not be raised when she will go.
This child, who has always worried her the most when she was a child, is the most reassuring to her when she grows up, because he is very smart. Most of the decisions he made for their family were correct, and it didn't matter if there were occasional mistakes, she never minded, thinking to herself who hasn't made a few mistakes in her life? If she hadn't missed at the beginning, Gu Siyan would not have had a chance to be born.
But she didn't expect Gu Sibei to miss this time, he poisoned people and was actually recruited. She didn't think it was Gu Sibei's fault, she felt that it was all Jiang Xuehe's fault, if it wasn't for Jiang Xuehe's impermeable defense, then Gu Sibei would have been able to do it himself without having to buy others, and he wouldn't have been caught.
Gu Sibei's body is so weak, how can he go to the Yamen? If you get struck, how do you get through? What if I get locked up and don't get used to the cold? The third child is different, the third child has always been rough and thick-skinned, and he is the strongest of the four brothers.
"Fourth, you ......" Qiao Shi gritted his teeth, "you will admit it." ”
Gu Sinan just pretended that he hadn't heard anything, what did they have to do with him when they called the fourth child? He just admitted that he was Gu Sibei's official who didn't believe it, and now if he wants him to admit his guilt, will the official believe it directly? Can you still make up your mind and not take away the real Gu Sibei for interrogation?
Besides, although he has no opinions, he is not stupid enough to really confess his sins.
