Chapter 408: Staying in the Gu Mansion
This matter is indeed where Jiang Wanxiu feels sorry for Song Yuanxi.
She was bent on poisoning Moteng at that time, and she didn't think much about how much impact this matter would have on Song Yuanxi's reputation.
Now that she is accused by Ye Yao'er, Jiang Wanxiu has not refuted it.
It's not appropriate to do this thing yourself, it's inappropriate, and it doesn't matter if you are scolded by the relatives of the prince, you should admit it.
There is no such thing as perfection, and there are always some things that are not well considered.
So after so many things happened, Song Yuanxi still never wavered in her love for her, Jiang Wanxiu was deeply grateful to him from the bottom of her heart, and she also hoped that she could do something for him.
"Ye Yao'er, shut up." Song Yuanxi's eyebrows sank.
Seeing Song Yuanxi's maintenance, Ye Yao'er became even more angry in her heart, and said without words, "Jiang Wanxiu, aren't you going to marry the third prince?" Didn't you climb high branches to become the princess? Why not? If you had been the third princess at that time, you would have become a prisoner long ago! Hum! ”
In the next second, Song Yuanxi's index finger swished on Ye Yao'er's neck, and his narrow eyes were dyed with anger, "Ye Yao'er, you don't want your tongue to get in the way?" There will be a next time, and it will not be as simple as a point. ”
Ye Yao'er opened her mouth in vain, but she couldn't make a sound.
A pair of watery eyes were aggrieved with teary eyes, and they wanted to cry.
"Shizi, Yao'er is not sensible, don't be like her, Shizifei, Yao'er has nothing to say, my brother's mistake has made amends for you." Ye Shilin sighed, looking like he had a headache.
Ye Qingling smiled lightly, "Yao'er has always liked her cousin, and she is indignant about her cousin's room, but she is still for her cousin, not that she has any bad intentions, cousin-in-law, please look at her age and don't know the importance of her words, open the net, Brother Shilin and I will teach her well." ”
"What about being young? It's okay to insult people at a young age? An Shuhui said angrily.
If it weren't for Song Yuanxi just now, she would have rushed up and quarreled.
Jiang Wanxiu pursed her lips, "It's okay, it's just a few words, and I'm not so bad that I can't hear it." ”
Seeing this, Ye Shilin reached out to untie Ye Yao'er's dumb acupoint, but when he clicked it, he didn't respond.
"What's going on?" Ye Shilin was stunned for a moment, and then swished twice, but still didn't untie it.
Ye Qingling was helpless, "Brother Shilin, my cousin's acupoint technique is an original lock vein, only my cousin can solve it, and others can't solve it......"
Song Yuanxi glanced at Ye Yao'er and said indifferently, "Four hours, the acupoint will solve itself." ”
Ye Yao'er suddenly burst into tears.
It's morning, four hours, and it's getting dark.
Ye Shilin didn't insist on letting Song Yuan Xi solve the acupoint, and smiled generously, "It's just right, let her taste the bitterness, so as not to be so stubborn all the time." I can't help her, the old man is too pampered, and he is used to being arrogant, which makes you laugh. ”
Although he is a martial artist, he resolves contradictions in a few words, and also closes the relationship, and is an eight-sided and exquisite character.
"How did this Tao Ziyou hit the hands of the son?" Ye Shilin diverted the topic and glanced at Tao Ziyou.
Tao Ziyou was already trembling with fright, and almost fainted.
God, he actually wants to arrest the prince and the princess, who doesn't know that since the last rescue, now the Manchu Dynasty is the most noble of the prince and the princess.
Ye Qingling said with a smile, "The prefect said that we were assassins and wanted to arrest us, and he also said that he himself was the law of the southern kingdom, which opened my eyes." ”
"The prince, the princess, the lower official knows that he is wrong!" Tao Ziyou knelt on the ground with a puff, his pale face was no longer the previous command.
"I didn't expect the Governor of Zongzhou to be so bold, but I misunderstood." Ye Shilin responded with a smile, turned around and looked at Tao Ziyou coldly, "Come on, take Tao Ziyou down." ”
Tao Ziyou cried and mourned, "General Ye spares his life, I really don't know that this is the carriage of the prince......"
"So it's time for a flat-headed person to be oppressed by you? Such a dog officer should be arrested. An Shuhui said angrily.
Ye Shilin smiled, "Don't worry, this girl, General Ben will not tolerate it." ”
"General Ye, for the sake of me arresting them to meet you, you spare me, General Ye ......" Tao Ziyou was anxious and begged for mercy.
Ye Shilin's face sank, "When did General Ben let you arrest someone, you are tyrannical in my name, and the crime will be added to one degree." Take it down. ”
"General Ye, you can't do this, I'm ......" Tao Ziyou was about to speak, but he was already gagged by the soldiers on both sides, and only whimpering remained.
"The lower officials greeted the late arrival, and asked a few nobles to forgive their sins." Among the squires who came to greet him, a middle-aged man with a rich figure and a kind smile greeted him.
It is De Yuanbo - Gu Haoqing.
is also a nobleman, Gu Haoqing has a good reputation in the imperial court, every time there is a natural or man-made disaster, he will actively donate food, and he has been commended by the emperor many times, and he is a well-known good man in the court and the opposition.
"Uncle doesn't have to be polite." Ye Shilin and the airway.
Gu Haoqing bowed down and said: "It's rare that the prince and General Ye have come to Zongzhou, the inn in Zongzhou is only afraid that it can't meet the minds of a few people, although the Earl's Mansion of the lower officials is not worth mentioning, but it is cleaner than the inn, thanks to the inscription on the Holy Lord, it is a little extravagant, if a few nobles appreciate their faces, they are eager to come to the Earl's Mansion to settle down."
Gu Haoqing didn't expect to meet Shizi today.
He originally planned to tie up with Ye Shilin, but as soon as the third prince had an accident, Nan Liye and King Mo didn't dare to serve, so he had to find a backer in the neutral party.
It just so happened that the Dragon and Tiger Army passed through Zongzhou, which was a rare opportunity, Gu Haoqing had already explained to his only son, he must please Miss Ye well, and he must entertain General Ye well.
It was a pure accident to meet the son, but the identity of the son is so noble, so it is natural to invite him.
"Uncle has this intention, then I will be disrespectful." Ye Shilin said with a smile, he is a very face-saving person, Gu Haoqing greeted him so enthusiastically and praised him, with his character of being good at putting on a show, it was exactly what he wanted.
Gu Haoqing was overjoyed, "The general's willingness to appreciate his face really makes our Gu Mansion shine!" ”
"Shizi, what about you?" Ye Shilin asked casually.
He knew that with Song Yuanxi's character of rejecting people thousands of miles away, he would definitely not go to the Gu Mansion.
But I didn't expect Song Yuanxi to nod, "Together." ”
"It's rare to meet Brother Shilin here, everyone lives together, and they can be close to each other." Ye Qingling said with a smile.
Gu Haoqing suddenly chuckled in his heart, and had a bad premonition, but his face was smiling extremely brightly, "The prince is willing to appreciate the light, my Gu family will definitely welcome it, a few please, the banquet has been prepared, please!" ”
"Uncle bothered." Jiang Wanxiu pursed her lips and smiled.
Gu Haoqing said again and again: "Yes, it is the blessing of our Gu family to be able to serve several nobles." ”
In the eyes and discussions of the people of Zongzhou, the group entered the Gu Mansion.
"Oh my God, even the prefect has been arrested, and even General Ye is so polite, who is in the carriage?"
"Didn't you hear, that's the son of the world, the son of the emperor who saved him, this Gu Haoqing is also a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and the prince of the world actually went to his house to settle down, this is an honor that many lords can't imagine......"
In fact, Gu Haoqing is really unwilling to deal with Song Yuanxi in his heart now.
Song Yuanxi is now presiding over the trial of the case of the three princes, and he has a weak heart.
The Gu Mansion was built magnificently, and the people in the mansion had been waiting for a long time.
To greet such a distinguished guest, he is polite and does not dare to slack off.
Gu Haoqing has a son named Gu Dongxiang, who is a son-in-law in his twenties, and he is very attentive to Ye Yao'er.
"Zongzhou's painting screen river is a must, a few adults rarely come to Zongzhou, can you enjoy the scenery?" Gu Haoqing said enthusiastically, and suddenly his voice paused, "General Ye is passing through Zongzhou, but I don't know if Lord Shizi wants to go on a business trip?" If there is official business, the lower officials do not dare to disturb. ”
Jiang Wanxiu's thin lips pursed slightly, it seemed that the arrival of herself and others made Gu Haoqing very uneasy, so she began to investigate.
"Uncle is polite, we just played casually, and happened to pass by, as for this painting screen river view, I must go to see it when I have time, so I won't arrange it for Uncle Lao." Jiang Wanxiu said lightly.
Gu Haoqing nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, if the princess is sent, just give orders." ”
The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.
Ye Qingling and the Ye brothers and sisters renewed, and Jiang Wanxiu and Song Yuanxi also returned to the courtyard that Gu Haoqing had carefully prepared for them.
"I didn't expect to arrive at the Gu family so smoothly, if Gu Haoqing hadn't planned to talk to Ye Shilin, he would definitely not dare to invite the prince to stay if he just met us." Jiang Wanxiu seemed to be smiling.
Song Yuanxi's cold and arrogant temper, ordinary people really don't dare to have a relationship with him.
An Shuhui said: "I didn't expect that Ye Yao'er to have such a temper, it's really flattering, but Ye Shilin is quite polite...... Fortunately, I entered the Bofu, what should I do next? ”
This time, they came to investigate the evidence of Gu Haoqing's collusion with Nan Rongran.
Gu Haoqing used to be a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and at that time he took the line of Concubine Yue, and resigned more than ten years ago and returned to Zongzhou, and hung up a local vacant position.
If you can find out the corruption loopholes when he was an official before, you can also find a crime to take him down first.
When the time comes, I will investigate the case of the third prince, and I don't believe that he can bear the punishment.
But if you don't have to arrest someone directly, no.
"I have checked the accounts of the household department, and after Gu Haoqing's three relatively large project ......"
Mo Zixuan's face was not very optimistic, "I didn't find any problems with the accounts. ”
An Shuhui nodded and said, "My father gave me all the case files that Gu Haoqing handled when he was in office, and I didn't find anything wrong......
"Tonight, I'll visit Bofu at night." Song Yuanxi said.
"Shizi be careful, you can only start from here." Jiang Wanxiu nodded and said, "Shuhui and Zixuan should have a good time in the mountains and rivers, so as not to make them suspicious." I went to chat with Mrs. Gu and tried to be tempted. ”
"Okay."
……
"Sister Ling'er, why does my cousin defend Jiang Wanxiu so much? I'm. Just that kind of person, also worthy? ”
Ye Yao'er finally solved the acupoint and said angrily.
Ye Qingling smiled lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, Jiang Wanxiu is now a beautiful lady in the south of the country, how much do you misunderstand her......
In just a few words, he told Jiang Wanxiu all the news.
The night was getting dark.
Jiang Wanxiu knocked on the chess pieces idly, looking at the chessboard, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
"Smack." Bai Zi fell on the plate and broke the game.
Jiang Wanxiu was shocked by this voice, raised her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, "The prince is back." ”
"Why are you so engrossed? Gu Haoqing is not as thoughtful as you put so much thought into it. Song Yuanxi sat down opposite her, her eyebrows raised slightly.
"Nothing." Jiang Wanxiu looked at Song Yuanxi with a smile, "What clues did the prince find?" ”
Song Yuanxi shook his head slightly, "No, Gu Haoqing is very cautious, and he didn't find any tokens and letters exchanged with Nan Rongran in the secret room of the study, including account books." ”
"Then when he was a waiter in the Ministry of Works, he didn't have any account books for corrupt transactions with those officials?" Jiang Wanxiu frowned.
This guy is worthy of Nan Rongran's biggest reliance in the local area, and he is very tricky.
