Chapter 172: Asking for a face
Yanzhou is a big city, since the beginning of this year, since the deep winter, which day does not freeze to death one or two people, the corpse is scooped up in the river, or because of a stumble, or suicide, there are all kinds of reasons, this is not a big deal, everyone is just talking about two sentences on weekdays.
But this time it was different.
It's Gu Pingzhong who died!
Since the trial in the court that day, almost overnight, the eldest master of the Gu family in Tingyi Lane instructed people to set fires, killing many people, but he escaped from prison by selfish means, and pushed the blame on his younger brother, and the news spread all over the streets and alleys.
According to folk rumors, there is no need for the Yamen to judge the case with physical evidence, as long as there is a mouth, the matter can be decided.
What's more, Gu Pingzhong was given an army by Ji Qingling in the hall, and he was slapped so much that he didn't even dare to let go of a fart, in the eyes of outsiders, it is simply his own judgment, and he doesn't need anyone to guide him, so everyone knows it, he has already been a "vicious" and another "evildoer" on the left, and he has asked his ancestors for eight generations hundreds of times.
This time, a male corpse was picked up in the Dongjian River, and someone who did good things immediately reported it to the yamen.
The deceased was dressed in luxurious clothes, and it didn't take much effort to lock up a few families, and when he asked everywhere, sure enough, the Gu family master in Tingyi Lane went out yesterday evening, and he didn't go home again, and the family was hesitating whether to report to the official.
Songjie replied to the words he had inquired about, and said: "I did an autopsy, and said that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river." ”
Ji Qingling couldn't help but glance at Gu Yanzhang.
The other party was also looking at her, looking very calm.
"Not suicide." Gu Yanzhang said.
Certainly not suicide.
Ji Qingling has seen Gu Pingzhong twice, one is when he first entered Yanzhou City, and he visited his uncle in the clan as a nephew and daughter-in-law, and the other was in the hall two days ago, the two of them were at loggerheads, and each wanted to cover the black pot on each other's heads.
The first time, the next time, Gu Pingzhong gave her a deep impression, the other party is deep-minded, quick to respond, and very tolerant, such a person, even if he encounters a big accident, he will never give up his life easily.
I also planned to be more cautious in the future, lest the other party relieve himself and make any evil moves, who knew that he would die so simply!
Ji Qingling was a little stunned, she thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Fifth brother, did Gu Pingzhong offend someone?" ”
Gu Yanzhang nodded and said, "I offended a priest in the state government." ”
He told Ji Qingling about his discovery in the archives and his actions in the state government.
"I didn't go to the state office today, just to give him time to clean up, lest the man and dog jump off the wall in a hurry." Gu Yanzhang said.
There was a dragon in the house, and it was warm, he was not afraid of the cold, and at this time he was only wearing a thin cloth shirt, and he was still holding a book in his hand, because it was Ji Qingling who was talking, and his tone was very gentle.
He put down the scroll in his hand, leaned forward, and asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice, "Qingling, are you...... Are you afraid? ”
Ji Qingling was still thinking about the matter of the Abbot in his mind, and when he heard him say this at the moment, he was a little strange, and raised his head and asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”
"If I hadn't said that and done that yesterday...... He won't die today......"
There was no fear when arranging, and there was no panic when acting, but at this moment, facing this little girl at home, Gu Yanzhang was born in his heart.
I didn't think it was like that, but now that I think about it from beginning to end, my own actions are no different from those villains who play conspiracy, sneaky, insidious and cunning.
Could Qingling be afraid of such a self......
There was blood on his hands......
He held his breath and looked at the person opposite, his heart going up and down.
To his surprise, Ji Qingling's face became very surprised, and he asked rhetorically: "If you don't let him die, do you want us to die?" ”
Gu Yanzhang was stunned.
Ji Qingling pursed her lips and said, "Fifth brother, if it weren't for your luck that day, if you met Zhou Dianzhi, there is a chance that you have ascended to heaven, and I am left alone to deal with that seventh uncle, I can't handle it!" ”
She thought about it, and said with some indignation: "It's more than innocent to die!" Cheap him!! After a pause, he said, "Fifth brother, he swallowed all the houses and properties of those people, but we have no evidence, he is a hundred dead, but what about those innocent people?" What should we do with all the possessions he swallowed? ”
Involuntarily, Gu Yanzhang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he involuntarily asked, "Qingling, don't you think my methods are dirty?" ”
"To deal with the young people, do you still have to choose a means?" Ji Qingling glanced at him, with a face full of "Are you stupid for me", and said, "Naturally, how convenient it is!" ”
"Fifth brother, why did you suddenly become forward-looking, not atmospheric at all!"
Ji Qingling said, with three points of ridicule in his tone.
was disgusted by the little girl......
Gu Yanzhang's heart was very complicated, sweet and sour, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.
Ji Qinglingfu asked again: "Fifth brother, what about the Gu family's industry?" ”
"The yamen will handle it themselves." Gu Yanzhang said, "It's just that Yang Pingzhang is not here, I think that Zheng Tong's judgment is really a little weak, I'm afraid that I can't suppress this group of officials." ”
He also said: "The yamen cleaned up the property in Tingyi Lane, and I don't know whose belly is fat...... but the suffering of those who are afflicted by fire......"
Ji Qingling thought for a while, and was really a little unhappy, and said: "It's really annoying, it's just that it's not in its place, it's not doing anything, but there is nothing to do with them, but there is nothing to ......do with them."
"Don't worry, wait, there will always be a day when it will fall."
Saying this, Gu Yanzhang's face became a little cold.
He looked at Ji Qingling's slightly frowning brows, and couldn't help but be afraid.
If it weren't for the cleverness and cleverness of this little girl in his own family, if he hadn't come back in time, Anzhi would have happened.
Just thinking about it makes him shudder.
It's a pity that I'm not an official.
It's a pity that I'm too weak.
In the past, I only comforted myself, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, take your time, there will always be a day when you get up.
But this world is always so impermanent.
It's so hard to survive in the world, and no one will wait for you to slow up.
If you meet good people, they will help you and help you, but there are also bad people who will harm you and practice you.
It's better to get up a little faster, a little faster.
While thinking about it, he couldn't help but take a closer look at his sweetheart.
It was rare that there was no snow on this day, and the sun was already hanging in the middle of the day, shining on the snow all over the ground, reflecting the courtyard and the house were bright.
The little girl's face is faintly flushed, the bridge of her nose is straight, her eyes are smart and lovely, and her lips are like the two most pink impatiens petals in spring.
She should be happy, comfortable, and shouldn't be bothered by such messy things.
Just want to see her laugh......
Gu Yanzhang's heart moved, and he leaned over and kissed Ji Qingling's cheek gently, and after kissing it, he didn't retreat, but whispered into her ear: "I didn't pay attention to it, and I actually said that I looked forward and backward...... Or is it not looking ahead? ”
Ji Qingling let out an "ah", stretched out his hand to cover his face, his cheeks were slightly red, the corners of his mouth were involuntarily hooked, he smacked him with a smile, and said, "It's shameless!" ”
