() When it comes to the people of the entire Chenji County, there are so many people, there will always be people who will tell the truth and the false, how to distinguish who is true and who is false, and it is not excluded that Gu Ziyuan arranged for the county citizens to say a unified confession in advance, and the emperor was still skeptical when he thought about it.

Gu Zongtang's face was secretly proud, and he was about to open his mouth to add fuel to the fire and break the emperor's doubts, but he didn't want to be preempted.

Song Yuyu stood up and respectfully reported to the emperor: "My lord, the minister can also testify for Gu County's order." ”

"Let's talk about it." The emperor is also strange, how did Song Yuyu and Gu Ziyuan get on the bridge, aren't these two people having nothing to do with each other.

Song Yuyu said word by word: "Recently, the minister has occasionally been riddled with incurable diseases, and he needs to take freshly picked and boiled mountain herbs, so he asked a close friend of the doctor to go with me to collect medicine. ”

Although he didn't really see the truth of the matter, he also had evidence that he had been to Chenji County, and his position in the imperial court was extraordinary, so the emperor had reason to believe that he would not lie.

As for Gu Zongtang, even if he knew that Song Yuyu had already returned to the capital, it was impossible to debunk Song Yuyu, otherwise Song Yuyu would announce his injury and lead the emperor to search, which would be a defeat for both sides, and Gu Zongtang would not be able to do such a thing that was unfavorable to himself.

Therefore, seeing Song Yuyu come forward to "testify", and the emperor seemed to believe it a little, Gu Zongtang could only grit his teeth with hatred, this Song Yuyu was simply a cunning stinky fox, and every time he framed Gu Ziyuan's plan, he would disrupt it.

Then, the official who usually had some friendship with Song Yuyu also spoke for him: "Your Majesty, although the people of Chenji County are fierce and the land is barren, the mountains and forests in the suburbs are deep and there are a lot of rare herbs and good medicines, and it is indeed a resort for collecting medicines. ”

The officials who spoke had traveled far and wide, and what they said was even more credible.

The emperor thought about it again and again, and finally nodded and believed Gu Ziyuan's words for the time being, but the truth of the matter could not be said to be, so he told Gu Ziyuan that he could only stay in the palace first and wait until the matter was revealed, and then draw conclusions.

was taken to a side courtyard in the palace to settle down, Gu Ziyuan did not relax in his heart.

And Song Yuyu quickly came to the door and told Gu Ziyuan: "I have to come forward to help you this time, you don't need to worry about it, just when we are general."

You can be friends, you will stay in the palace recently, and Gu Zongtang will not dare to do anything to you under the emperor's nose, but will be more peaceful. ”

Gu Ziyuan nodded and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful that he may do things in Chenji County, don't let him succeed." ”

"Now there is also the current prince who is hostile to you, you must resist this person, if he finds a reason to come to see you, although he will not be able to blatantly hurt you, but you must also be careful to deal with it." Song Yuyu can only say this, and no matter how much it is, it is not convenient at this moment.

Gu Ziyuan knew what he was thinking, so he said, "You go back first, I'm afraid that the wall in the palace has ears, so it's inconvenient to say more." ”

"Okay, take care of yourself." Song Yuyu said.

Gu Ziyuan remembered something and stopped him again: "By the way, Rong'er, don't let her worry too much for the time being, tell her that I'm fine, and I will be able to go out to find her soon." ”

At this time, Bai Rong chased to the capital and knew that Gu Ziyuan must have been brought into the palace, so she chose to settle in the inn where she lived during Gu Ziyuan's imperial examination, while worrying about his safety.

"Ziyuan, how are you now, are you okay?" She stood by the window of the tall building, looking worriedly at the red walls and green tiles of the imperial city, and only felt that the entire palace was like a huge cage.

Some people go in and never come out again.

What's more, Gu Ziyuan is still in the quagmire now, I don't know if he can get out smoothly, and I don't know what means the people against him will use to embarrass him, I just hope that he can solve it and be safe and sound.

I sat in a daze until the night, when there was a sudden knock on the door, Bai Rong suddenly came back to his senses, and heard a voice outside the door asking: "Is it Bai Girl?" ”

Does this person know who she is?

Bai Rong didn't answer his question, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you and what's the matter?" ”

"There's a letter here, and I've left it at the door." There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the man seemed to have left.

Bai Rong didn't rush out, and waited for a while to make sure that no one was waiting outside the door before opening the crack in the door, and really saw a letter lying on the ground outside the door, she reached out and took it in and closed the door tightly.

Opening the letter, Bai Rong was slightly surprised: "It's Song Yuyu." ”

She knew that there must be news about Gu Ziyuan, carefully read the content of the letter, and knew some things that happened in the court, she breathed a sigh of relief and buried the letter in her chest: "Great, Ziyuan, he's okay now."

。 ”

And Gu Ziyuan did not kill people indiscriminately, if the emperor was clear, as long as the truth of the matter was clear, Gu Ziyuan must be innocent.

She cherished the two clay figurines that Gu Ziyuan gave her from the package, and sent her thoughts with things, and she traced them with her hands, as if she was touching his face.

Ziyuan, you must come back, I will wait for you.

Downstairs, the secret guard who had finished delivering the letter returned to his master's side.

Song Yuyu asked, "Is the letter delivered?" ”

"I watched as the white girl took the letter." The Dark Guard affirmed.

Song Yuyu looked up again at the lighted window of the inn, looked away and whispered, "Let's go." ”

He wanted to tell her personally, but when he thought that she was just Gu Ziyuan in her eyes, he sighed at his uselessness, because he still couldn't face Bai Rong who liked others like that.

It's just that, in fact, it's good for everyone not to meet.

In the Jinluan Palace, between the bead curtains and jade shadows, the emperor was teaching the concubine to write on the edge of the desk, and an official walked in from outside the door and whispered to report, so the emperor withdrew the concubine and asked the official: "How is the matter of Gu County's order investigated?" ”

The official bowed his head and reported: "Your Majesty, I have taken someone to check clearly, Gu Ziyuan did not kill innocents indiscriminately, let alone kill people maliciously, the deceased Zhaoyuan is a gangster with a bad reputation, the people of the county all hold grudges and spurn this person, this person has done all the bad things, and it is not a pity to die." ”

He added: "Xia Guan also asked the people of Chenji County, and everyone said that Gu Ziyuan was a rare good official who benefited the people. ”

The emperor pondered for a long time: "In this case, what Song Aiqing said at the time was true, and Gu County's order did not kill the wrong person, but did a good thing to eliminate harm for the people, so pass the order, Gu County's order has merit in eliminating harm, let him go." ”

"Yes, the lower official will report it." The officials outside the bead curtain immediately bowed and retreated.

The emperor thought of Gu Ziyuan's face, which was somewhat similar to the king of Chu, and couldn't help but have mixed thoughts in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? He also ignored his concubines. The concubine beside her was sneering and asked with concern.

The Emperor sighed, "It's just some old things. ”
