Chapter 702: Hunted and killed
"This time it's thanks to the fisherman, otherwise you would have been injured, and I don't know if you would have been able to make it to the shore. Besides, even if we can swim ashore, those people won't let us go. ”
Gu Chengyu sighed, this time it was really dangerous. Although his martial arts skills are good, his two fists are difficult to defeat his four hands, and there are many people, and he always has the strength to be exhausted and careless.
"You don't really plan to take this boat back to the capital, do you?" Lu Chen looked at the vast river, and he also felt a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.
They had already changed two boats before, each of which was a small fishing boat, and it was very aggrieved to stay in such a small place.
In addition, he was injured and fell into the water before, which was already uncomfortable. I had a high fever before, but now I've retreated.
It's just that he's been vomiting since the morning until now. At present, the body has not fully recovered, and even seasickness has come to the door.
"You haven't sat enough on a fishing boat? I can't take it anymore. ”
The three of them huddled in the small fishing boat, the fishing boat in front of them, and when they got on the boat, the fisherman also caught a lot of fish.
The fishy smell almost made them faint, and even Gu Chengyu couldn't bear it.
"There are times when you can't stand it, I thought you were happy!"
When Lu Chen heard that he finally didn't have to shrink in the fishing boat anymore, he put his heart down.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, but it is not that he can't endure hardships. Only this time is different after all, they have escaped death in the past few days, and he has also suffered a lot.
Gu Chengyu glanced at Lu Chen's fair and broad back, and silently looked away.
"If you weren't too aggressive, we wouldn't have to go back to the capital so gloomy."
They got Liao Cheng's incriminating evidence from Qu Huaiyun before, but they didn't expect this to be a big fish.
There are many businessmen and officials who have a close relationship with Liao Cheng, and two high-ranking officials in the capital are also involved.
Gu Chengyu felt that this matter was not trivial, even if Lu Chen had officials of the same vein in Hejian Mansion, the grade of those people was not higher than Liao Cheng.
Lu Chen is indeed a member of the Marquis Zhan Yuan's Mansion, but the power of the Zhan Yuanhou Mansion is far away in the capital, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip!
Gu Chengyu felt that the matter was big and there were too many people involved, and it would definitely be difficult to handle it on their own.
It would be better to write a letter back to the capital to move the rescue soldiers, so that although his credit is smaller, it is the safest.
After all, he didn't come to Hejian Mansion for these things, he was afraid that the emperor would think that his hand was too long.
If the ability grows too fast, the emperor's suspicion will be heavier.
If you write a recital, I'm afraid that before it reaches the emperor's hands, you will let those treacherous and cunning people stop it.
Gu Chengyu felt that when he returned to the capital this time, he must persuade the emperor to immediately implement the secret fold.
In this way, if such a thing happens in the future, he can ask the emperor.
Who knew that Lu Chen was a little anxious, he felt that if he didn't take Liao Cheng first, it might be too late in a few days.
In order to follow the vine, Lu Chen carried Gu Chengyu behind his back, and the officials in the same vein as Hejian Mansion began to plot, and these Gu Chengyu knew.
But he didn't expect that Lu Chen wouldn't listen to his advice at all, and he actually wanted to unite with Hejian Mansion to sentence Yilan Pavilion and the forces behind it, and take down Liao Cheng first.
How sensitive are the noses of those officials? As soon as they realized that something was wrong, in order to save their lives, they immediately attacked Lu Chen.
He and Lu Chen came to Hejian Mansion together, so naturally they became the target of those people.
"If I don't arrest Liao Cheng first, Xia Shoufu will definitely solve Liao Cheng first before us."
Lu Chen was a little unconvinced, Liao Cheng was very important. This person has a close relationship with Xia Qing, especially in the past two years, Liao Cheng has done a lot of things for Xia Qing.
Gu Chengyu sneered, "Do you still think that Liao Cheng is really the same as Xia Qing?" ”
Lu Chen's eyes froze, "What do you mean?" ”
"I'm afraid he would have already voted for another master, but that's just my guess."
Gu Chengyu waved his hand, he said so, but in his heart, he decided that Liao Cheng must have taken refuge with some prince.
Of course, Gu Chengyu's opinion is also after some analysis.
If it was really for Xia Qing, then Liao Cheng would not be so high-profile.
And Qu's is his ally, but Liao Cheng regards Qu's as a stepping stone, which shows that Liao Cheng has two hearts.
Liao Cheng bears the name of Xia Qing, but he does things for the prince behind his back.
If this matter is transmitted back to Xia Qing's ears, it is estimated that the first person who will not let Liao Cheng go is Xia Qing.
So he has already written a letter to ask Ming Yan to send him back to the capital, and the only person he can rely on at present is the senior brother.
As long as this matter is revealed to Xia Qing, with Xia Qing's temperament, he will definitely intervene in this matter.
Liao Cheng betrayed him, how could he swallow this breath?
He also asked the senior brother to report the matter to the emperor, as long as the emperor sent someone to investigate thoroughly, this matter would definitely bring benefits to himself.
Maybe he can still involve Xia Qing, even if he can't do anything about Xia Qing, he can add some blockage to Xia Qing, he is still willing.
Besides, he still had some of the evidence in his hands. Some of them he has already picked and asked Mingmo to bring back to the capital together, and for him, the goal has been achieved, and it should end here.
He won't interfere later, and the emperor won't allow him to interfere.
Of course, Lu Chen also has some evidence in his hands. As for who he will hand it over, that's not what Gu Chengyu cares about.
He agreed with Lu Chen at that time, one person and half, and no one could take anyone's credit.
Lu Chen agreed, which made Gu Chengyu quite satisfied. Lu Chen did a good job in this matter, and he didn't want to take the opportunity to take the credit alone.
This is also the reason why he is so polite to Lu Chen now, otherwise he doesn't care if Lu Chen is in pain or not, and what kind of medicine he will give.
"And who is the person behind him?"
Lu Chen was thoughtful, in fact, his people had already found out that Liao Cheng had a relationship with a mysterious person in Beijing.
Although I haven't found out who it is, that person is definitely not Xia Qing.
But to his surprise, Gu Chengyu was also aware of it.
No wonder Gu Chengyu was promoted so quickly, and it was not without reason. How can such a thoughtful and cautious person be unknown in officialdom?
It's a pity! Gu Chengyu was born in a peasant family and has no connections in officialdom.
He didn't have anyone to use in his hands, otherwise Gu Chengyu would really be able to bring this treasure map back to the capital.
Gu Chengyu shook his head, "I don't know, this Liao Cheng should have just taken refuge in that person." You haven't figured out who he's been in close contact with, right? Then I won't know. ”
Lu Chen was silent, he asked himself, if he didn't have a family, he wouldn't have thought of these things with his brain alone.
"But are you really going to leave like that? Our treasure map hasn't arrived yet, so let's go back to the capital? ”
Lu Chen suddenly thought that the treasure map had not yet arrived, so they returned to the capital like this, and they were a little unwilling after all!
