When Gu Qi left, the atmosphere in the imperial study, which was not relaxed, became more and more dead and silent in an instant.

The emperor was still holding the dossier in his hand, his eyes fell on the teacup that he had just drunk, and after a while, he asked the person behind him, "...... What do you think? ”

Behind him, Father-in-law Chang smiled and shook his head, "The old slave thinks that Gu Gongzi is right, it's just a Jianghu sect, the employer pays the money, and they work hard." This is the third son of the Fu family, the old slave has also heard of it, and he has never seen anything real done on weekdays, but there are many people who have offended...... Perhaps, this time it really offended people......"

The emperor shook his head, and turned back to dislike Chang Gonggong's loneliness, "I have always said that you are an old thing, you should go out and take a look...... You don't. This photo studio is not something that everyone can afford...... That kid offends ordinary people on weekdays, which one can afford to invite a photo studio? Don't say that the silver is invited, even if you listen, you may not have heard what a photo studio is. ”

Chang Gonggong had a good temper, Maitreya Buddha smiled, stepped forward to change hot tea for the emperor, and said, "That's it...... But the old slave is lonely and unheard...... It's just that didn't the Criminal Department hand over the chapter before, saying that dozens of people sued the third son of the Fu family on the same day...... Perhaps, it's really offended, and the big guy may invite the photo studio with money. ”

The emperor groaned, what he said made sense. It's just that I always feel that something is not quite right in this matter, frowning and not speaking, and my expression looks a little grim.

Father-in-law Chang looked sideways slightly, and after a while, he cautiously tentatively said, "Your Majesty, did you say it would be the Shi family...... I heard that a few days ago, Fu Sangongzi was molesting the eldest lady and Miss Tan on the street, so he was beaten by Miss Tan, and he made a lot of trouble because of this, and even Xie Xiaogongzi got involved...... You say, could it be that the family is not ...... angry?" he said, lifting his eyelids.

The emperor looked at the dossier in his hand and said nothing with a calm face.

The ambergris rose, the smoke was swirling, the emperor did not speak with a gloomy face, and after a while, as if relieved, he denied, "It won't be the Shi family." Taifu has always been upright, and the Shi family is a bright and upright person, and he will never behave like this. ”

In the corner where the emperor couldn't see, Chang Gonggong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his slightly open eyes narrowed again, like Maitreya Buddha, "Yes, it won't be the Shi family." It's the old slave who is confused......"

The Emperor waved his hand, "Go down." ”

"Yes......" Father-in-law Chang retreated, bowed his head and exited the imperial study all the way, standing outside the door before slowly exhaling a breath, and for a while, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Seeing this, the little eunuch waiting outside the door stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong with you?" But...... But accidentally made a mistake and was punished by His Majesty? ”

Grandpa Chang shook his head as if he was very tired, a little weak, "It's okay, let's go...... Later, when you go in and serve him, remember, don't care about anything, and don't listen to anything......"

Although the little eunuch didn't know what his master meant, he obediently remained silent and didn't ask, only nodded and said okay.

Father-in-law Chang knew that these words sounded easy and simple, but it was difficult to do them, after all, ...... I haven't done it all my life.

……

Gu quit the palace and went all the way to the eastern suburbs. The renovation work of the mansion in the eastern suburbs is nearing completion, and he needs to check it himself.

Who knows, before the carriage left the gate of the east city, it was blocked. Lin Yuan got out of the car and asked, and came back not long after, "Childe, the city gate was blocked, saying that the Shi family was picking up people, but the coachman accidentally hit an old woman...... Even His Royal Highness King Rui is here, do we want to come forward and say hello? ”

"Pick up someone?" What kind of person even treats Gu Yansheng so cautiously? He thought for a moment, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, "I'll go over and take a look." You take care of the carriage and come back when it is here. ”

Not long after leaving, I saw that there were many people surrounded by the three layers in front of me, Gu Ci couldn't get in, and I didn't know how Lin Yuan broke through the encirclement and asked about those news, and Gu Ci couldn't do anything to crowd people.

In the end, I had to take out the waist card of the Criminal Department and walked in under the excuse of the Criminal Department's case.

Just a few steps away from the city gate, there were indeed a few carriages of the Shi family, and the carriages were all parked on the side of the road, and only one was in the middle of the road, which was obviously the carriage that Lin Yuan said had hit someone.

Mrs. Shi was also there, frowning slightly and looking a little nervous. Shi Huan stood on the side of the carriage with his back to here, the wheel was leaning on an old woman, her hair was gray, humming and crying out in pain, the vegetable basket on the side knocked over the ground, and a few vegetables that were still carrying soil rolled aside.

Pian Yu squatted in front of her, blocking Gu Ci's sight, and it was difficult to judge what the situation was for a while.

He stepped forward, greeted Mrs. Shi, who was closest to him, and lowered his head slightly and asked, "Madam." What's going on? Is there a place where juniors can help? ”

"Master Gu." As soon as she greeted her, Mrs. Shi was about to curtsy.

Although he is young, he is a student of Taifu, and his daughter's senior brother, according to his seniority, it is not Mrs. Shi's turn to salute, but he is now a serious servant of the Criminal Department, and when he reaches this level, he can afford Mrs. Shi's curtsy.

But she was stopped by Gu Ci when she raised her hand, "You are her mother, how can you accept your courtesy." ”

He called himself a junior, smiled modestly and respectfully, and then said, "If Huanhuan sees me receiving this gift, I'm afraid it will annoy me for a long time." Some affectionate titles, without hiding their thoughts, spread out generously in front of each other's mothers.

It was a surprise.

"That kid is spoiled." Speaking of her daughter, there was a softness that couldn't be concealed between her eyebrows, and Mrs. Shi looked not far away and didn't seem to notice Shi Huan here, so she said, "The coachman hit an old lady and injured her leg, and it just so happened that Pian Yu was also there. It's in the way of Master Gu...... I'm really sorry. Go get busy, it's okay here. ”

Even though Gu Ci posed as a junior, Mrs. Shi still used honorifics when talking to the other party. As he spoke, his brows furrowed subconsciously, and he stretched his neck to look, but he was worried that his words would not only not help, but would add to the chaos.

"It doesn't matter. I'll go over and see, and you'll be fine. As he spoke, he walked behind Shi Huan and called, "Huanhuan." ”

Shi Huan turned around, but he was surprised, "How can Senior Brother come?" ”

"Just passing by." As he spoke, Gu Ci quietly glanced at the old woman who was humming on the ground, and then raised his eyes to look at Gu Yansheng, exchanging a look of mutual understanding.
