Chapter 133 to Beijing

Hearing Peng Yizhen's arrangement, Cao and Gu Bainiang wept and thanked them again.

Peng Yizhen is an old friend they have made in Xianren County, they have experienced the Zhou shopkeeper incident together, and now they run a pharmacy together, and they are more like relatives than relatives emotionally.

Gu Bainiang thought that her brother died because he was infected with a plague in prison, and the disaster of prison in this life reappeared, and the plague was naturally inevitable, so it was better to take Peng Yizhu, a miracle doctor.

"Then there's Uncle Law." She said that at the moment of major events, she is no longer polite.

Since it was decided that the sooner the departure, the better, Peng Yizhen immediately went back to clean up, ordered the pharmacy to close temporarily, and wrote a letter asking the little girl to send her home to pick up her family as soon as she opened the city gate.

The parting was imminent, but the mother and daughter had no tears, Cao took the servant woman to pack some luggage, and Gu Eighteen Niang quickly wrote a letter to Xin Chaoyang, asking him to take care of his mother.

The tragedy of her brother's imprisonment has really reappeared, will the tragedy of the Cao family also reappear, one of her hearts can't wait to be divided into two parts, and she can't let go of it over there, and her heart is full of pain.

Not to mention the reaction of Gu Changchun and others, which made her heart fall into an ice cave, even if they were kind, she would never dare to entrust the Cao family to them, and took the Cao family to Beijing, first, she really couldn't be distracted to take care of it, and second, she was afraid that Gu Changchun would really want to exclude her brother, and there was no one at home, not even someone to protect each other.

The only thing that can be relied on and can be believed is to believe in Chaoyang, at least, for now, she is still worthy of believing in Chaoyang's help, compared to family affection, now interests are the reason why she Gu Bainiang believes the most.

She also wrote a contract to renew the contract for one year, and signed it.

"Mother, if they really want to exclude their brother from the clan and can't compete with each other, let them get rid of all three of our family." Gu Banniang finally said quietly.

Cao nodded, stroked his daughter's head, and said hello.

When it was dark, two carriages quietly drove out of the gate of Cao's house, and hurried away along the empty and foggy street.

When they came to the gate, a servant stopped them by the roadside.

"Gu Niangzi, this is our young master's letter."

Gu Bainiang stretched out her hand from the window to take it, the carriage did not stop, galloped past the small girl, she opened the letter, but found that there was only a blank piece of paper, she finally felt that the boulder in her heart was slightly loosened, and her eyes full of red silk finally closed, leaning against the shaking car wall.

At this time, Xin Chaoling hurriedly broke into Xin Chaoyang's study, and the first thing he did was to throw a ball of paper on the ground.

Xin Chaoyang was lying sideways on the long collapse, facing inward, his long black hair pouring like a waterfall.

"I said brother, you can still sleep" He stepped on the paper ball, jumped in front of Xin Chaoyang, and shouted, "Something is a big thing, something is a big thing"

"Noisy" believes in Chaoyang's lazy way, and people still don't move.

"Brother, Gu Xie Yuan has been sent to prison," Xin Chaoling shouted.

"I know." Xin Chaoyang hummed, turned around slightly, and lay flat, his eyes still closed.

"That....then....what about Gu Niangzi?" Xin Chaoling stammered.

The reaction of the eldest brother in front of him was too unexpected for him.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." Xin Chaoyang replied lightly, raised his hand, and covered his face with the sleeves of his wide white gauze.

Xin Chaoling stood in place, feeling that he had a lot to say, and felt that he didn't need to say a word, so he kicked the paper ball under his feet sullenly, exhaled heavily, and sat down on the circle chair in front of the bookcase, only to see a pile of paper with three or four words written on the table.

Some write "peace of mind", some write "don't read" and so on.

"Is this going to be written?" Xin Chao Ling muttered, pulled his hand aside, and suddenly saw a contract with bright red fingerprints.

"Gu Niangzi" he jumped up with the contract, "Gu Niangzi sent it when he was there?" ”

"Last night." Xin Chaoyang's voice from under his sleeve was a little muffled.

It turned out that Gu Niangzi had already told her brother for the first time, and Xin Chaoling collapsed, no wonder she was not surprised at all by the news she brought.

"Gu Niangzi asked you to do it? Even the contract was written in advance? I said brother, I've heard that this Gu Xie Yuan is a big disobedient thing, and it won't make a good ..... for the nine clans." He couldn't help but ask.

"No, just take care of her mother." Xin Chaoyang said lightly, his posture unchanged.

"That's it?" Xin Chaoling asked with a glare.

Xin Chaoyang lowered his sleeves and opened his eyes, with a slight redness in his eyes, showing that he had not slept last night.

"And what do you think there are?" He asked, slowly sitting up.

Xin Chao Ling smiled, he really didn't ......

He shook the contract in his hand, and said with a bit of deep and solemnity: "Then my brother will accept it, this is not good, it seems that we are falling into the well....."

Xin Chaoyang smiled, stood up, and the maids outside the house rushed in, one put on a thin satin cashmere robe with him, the other tied his hair carefully with him, and the other held warm tea.

"Good sister, give me a drink." Xin Chaoling took the hand of a pretty maid and pointed at his throat, "It's going to smoke." ”

The pretty maid grinned, and really went to pour him a cup of tea, and fed him with her own hands.

"Brother, although I don't understand business, I also know that we don't know how to send charcoal in the fire..... at this time, we should never mention any ......conditions," Xin Chaoling stretched out his hand to hold the pretty maid's waist, and then said vaguely.

"I took it to put her at ease." Xin Chaoyang said, fastened his gray cloak, and strode out.

"Peace of mind?" Xin Chaoling was a little puzzled, watched Xin Chaoyang leave, and hurriedly let go of the pretty maid, "Brother, where are you going?" ”

There was no one outside the door.

Gu Changchun and the others walked into the house with a tired face, and everyone who had not slept all night hula came up, asking what was going on.

Gu Changchun waved his hand, signaling everyone to be calm, sat down by himself, and drank three cups of hot tea in one go before he eased up.

"Here's the way it is....." He began to speak in a hoarse voice, but his voice was much calmer than it had been yesterday when he had received the news.

Sure enough, the government is well-informed, and the news is a day ahead of them, and the origin of the matter starts from last year ago, because the Tanzhou prefect impeached the Tanzhou political envoy for corruption and bribery, which was originally a very small matter, but it became more and more intense because of the two big people involved behind it.

The prefect of Tanzhou is a student of Li Shifang, a cabinet scholar, and the political envoy of Tanzhou is the nephew of Zhu Chunming, the first assistant.

Everyone thought that the matter was over, but during the Chinese New Year this year, the prefect of Tanzhou was taken away from the New Year's banquet by a wolf-like messenger sent by Dali Temple.

"Why?" The room full of people listened attentively, and they only thought it was better than the storyteller in the teahouse.

Gu Changchun glanced meaningfully at everyone in the room, and slowly spit out a few words.

"Embezzlement and disaster food."

The room was in an uproar.

Gu Changchun took another sip of tea and continued to speak.

At the end of last year, that is, after the case of the political envoy of Tanzhou was concluded, Liuyang County ordered a paper to impeach the family of the Tanzhou prefect for replacing the disaster control grain with old moldy grain to obtain huge profits.....

Does this mean that a dog eats a pinch of hair, or the world is as black as a crow, or is it fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter?

"Grandpa...."Someone interrupted Gu Changchun with a confused expression, "....This has something to do with Brother Hai?" ”

Gu Changchun glanced at him and twisted his sparse beard.

"This matter is not over here, Dali Temple continued to investigate, and found that someone in Tanzhou had already reported the matter, but it was covered up by the teacher of the Tanzhou prefect, Li Daxue, so the emperor was furious, and ordered the criminal department to thoroughly investigate Li Daxue....." He said slowly, "Criminal Department, do you know whose world it is? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Although most of the clansmen have never set foot in officialdom, they have some understanding of Zhu Dashoufu, who is like thunder in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they immediately understand.

"....I heard that because of General Ye's business, Lord Li pointed at Lord Zhu and scolded other thieves....."

"But no, for the sake of General Ye, Lord Li also went to the fold of impeaching Lord Zhu to death...."

"I see, it's over, Lord Zhu is worried that he can't catch his pigtails, so he took the initiative to send it to the door...."

"But, grandpa, does this still have something to do with Gu Hai? Gu Hai is a small student, and he can't embezzle disaster food, and he can't protect corrupt officials for personal gain..."

"Master Li is the chief examiner of the exam." Gu Changchun sighed and said, "Therefore, His Majesty gave him face, and only after the palace examination was over, did he order him to be imprisoned, but before that, everyone had already heard the rumors, and Brother Hai didn't know what was going on, but on the day the Criminal Department arrested people, they went to Master Li's house, and several young students got into trouble with the people from the Criminal Department and said something that shouldn't be said..."

I see, this unlucky kid....

"Well, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words," everyone asked carefully.

Young people are enthusiastic, and it is their chief examiner who is arrested, which can also be called a teacher, it is inevitable that they will be a little impulsive, this is not a major matter of disobedience, at most it can be reprimanded, right? No mistakes in many words

"I don't know about that." Gu Changchun said, his face was a little solemn, he remembered the expressions of those adults when they spoke, and had an ominous premonition, "The person sent by Shen'an should be coming, listen to what he says, these officialdom people are the most accustomed to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and it is already very face-saving to tell me so much..."

Thinking of the attitude of those adults when they saw him last night, it was obviously different from the attitude when the news of Gu Yuzhong's champion came a few days ago.

It's all this Hai Ge'er and her sister, who don't seem to do things with brains, and don't look at the people who are facing the place, so they beat them blindly like a hammer, not to mention themselves, but also to affect their family

"If the matter is really serious, let him be expelled from the clan, no matter what, he can't be affected by the clan, and the good future of Yu'er" He slapped down the chair heavily and stood up, "Go and see what the Cao family and that girl do?" Let them be honest these days, and stop causing trouble for me, especially take care of that girl..."

When such a big thing happened to Gu Hai, everyone was staring at the door of his house, so everyone already knew about the two cars going out early in the morning.

"Grandpa, that girl seems to have entered Beijing, and she left before dawn." Someone said.

“？” Gu Changchun was stunned, and immediately looked indignant, "Look, look, are there any of us in this eye?" Do what you want, so wanton, it's no wonder if nothing happens."

Three days later, the letter from Gu Changchun's eldest son in the capital arrived, and after reading the letter, Gu Changchun jumped up from the chair in shock, and his face became pale.

"It's over, it's over, it's over.," he said over and over again.

At this time, Gu Bainiang had already sat in the house of her own uncle in the capital, and after listening to the narration of this important minister of the court, she only felt dizzy, and her mind flashed these words repeatedly.

It's over, it's over, it's over......

"Li Shifang is dead." Gu Shen'an said, looking at the little girl sitting in front of her, the shock of hearing that her family had come to report it still remained on her face.

"Then brother, he...."Gu Bainiang asked softly.

Her expression was very calm, except that her face was a little haggard than ordinary people, which in Gu Shen'an's opinion was also because she was sleepless and hurried.

This little girl Gu Shen'an has never seen it before, and her name is that she has heard it twice this year, and her general impression is that she has no father to discipline a rough girl who doesn't know the general situation.

But when I saw it today, his posture was elegant, his demeanor was dignified, and what was even more surprising was the calmness.

Seeing that her age is a few years younger than Luo'er, she only got the news that her brother jumped over the dragon gate, and suddenly heard that the dragon fell for nine days, this joyful and sad ups and downs, even people who have been stumbling for half their lives can't stand it, and it's hard for her that this little girl can still support herself to come to the capital single.

"That...."Gu Shen'an made a gesture lightly, and when he was done, he remembered that this little girl was not a person in the officialdom, nor a person in the capital, nor was she a student who cared about family affairs, state affairs, and everything in the world.....

"That Lord Zhu..."Gu Bainiang said, "What about it?" Just because my brother defended his main exam teacher and fulfilled his duty as a disciple, he couldn't even die with him? ”

I just said it again, and the little girl already understood, Gu Shen'an nodded, yes, if it were another woman, I was afraid that I wouldn't know anything else except crying at this time.

"Since the General Ye incident, the impeached Lord Zhu's post is like a snowflake, and several of his ministers have been pulled down by various reasons, Lord Zhu has endured it for a long time, this time he wants to kill the chicken to show the monkey a deterrent shock, so Li Shifang is dead." Gu Shen'an said a little more patiently, "And Brother Hai, originally there was nothing to do, but he was just taught some lessons, and he was vigilant, at most, he was left by the officials and not used, but just a few days ago, after the news of Lord Li's death sentence came down, he submitted a petition..."

Gu Hai has no official position yet, so he can't go to the fold, but as a tribute, he can go to the petition.

"The words are sharp, pointing directly at Lord Zhu...."Gu Shen'an said, looking at Gu Ba Niang, his expression was gloomy, and the meaning was self-evident, "He asked someone to hand me a letter, and asked for a family tree, just to not affect his relatives..."

said that it would not affect his relatives, but what he asked his relatives not to embarrass his mother and sister, and by doing so, he obviously had already made plans to die.
