Chapter 36: Return to Beijing
“.......”
Gu Mingyuan was stunned, and after a long pause, he said, "Don't make trouble, lady, ..... today There's still something important to do. ”
He froze where he was, not daring to move.
Su Yanyue turned his face over, and after looking at it for a while, Gu Mingyuan was so nervous that sweat flowed out.
"Lie to you, I'm a good wife, I won't stop you from doing things, look at you scared."
She turned away, her smiling face showing a hint of stiffness, and her hand was pinched on the wooden armrest on the couch, almost crushing.
Gu Mingyuan escaped and hurriedly got out of bed and got dressed.
But he was in a hurry, Su Yiyue took the initiative to dress him in desperation, and then saw the scar on his knee and asked him to sit down.
Her slightly cool fingers touched the uneven scar, and Gu Mingyuan's heart trembled, a little nervous.
"Ah Yue, don't look at it, this scar shouldn't go away."
Su Yiyue was still full of doubts, "But how could you fall so badly after you fell before, you have injuries on both knees, and you are almost injured to the bone." ”
She raised her head and said distressedly, "Did it hurt at that time?" ”
Gu Mingyuan looked at her for a long time, and said with a light smile: "It hurts." ”
It's distressing.
Su Yiyue saw that he had sadness on his face, so she kissed him on the knee, and then hugged her husband, "It doesn't hurt, I'm not afraid." ”
Gu Mingyuan closed his eyes and enjoyed this embrace.
She didn't waste time, and after dressing him, Gu Mingyuan took her out of the window.
"Why don't you go through the front door?"
Gu Mingyuan suddenly smiled sinisterly, "Isn't that kid the number one assassin in the world?" Then see if he can catch up. ”
"Huh?" Su Yiyue felt hanging, "This stinky boy may have been waiting outside." ”
"Then I don't care."
The two went around to other places and led people to arrest Zhang Chun and his party one by one.
When he finally came to Zhang's mansion, Zhang Chun stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the sun above his head, silent.
Gu Mingyuan looked over, stopped and said, "Master Zhang, how is this sun different from usual?" ”
When Zhang Chun heard his voice, he knew that the darkest day of his life was coming.
"It's no different, it's just that you're bored."
He sat on the ground with a smile, different from the usual shelf, but at this time he was casual, "Master Gu seems to have the evidence." ”
"Otherwise, how dare you arrest a political envoy."
Gu Mingyuan also spoke softly, and the two of them chatted like this.
Zhang Chun asked, "So, you came to arrest me, what evidence do you have?" ”
"Come and arrest you, the evidence has naturally been handed to the imperial court, and it is also Your Majesty's intention, as for what the evidence is, it seems that there is no need for this official to tell you."
Zhang Chun was stunned and said, "Okay, young and promising, I just don't know if you will end up like me in the future." ”
"If you don't have greed in your heart, you won't end up today."
After Su Yiyue finished speaking, Zhang Chun smiled, "Greedy? Do you think I'm greedy? Hahaha...... It seems that you don't have much evidence, but that's fine, I want to see how Lord Gu looks deflated. ”
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Chun said with a smile: "Master Gu, have you ever thought about how I can keep such a large sum of gold from others?" Did the people who inspected Gao Wen's verdict really not find it? Why did Gao Wen ignore this gold when he colluded with foreign thieves? ”
This is also something that Gu Mingyuan has always wondered about, "So Lord Zhang's implication is to cooperate with His Majesty?" ”
"Nope." Zhang Chun stood up, "Because even if you find out, it's useless, I still won't be able to live, so I plan to die." ”
He suddenly picked up the dagger and stabbed him in the heart.
"Stop him!"
Su Yuyue led people forward, but unfortunately it was too late.
She examined the corpse, then looked at Gu Mingyuan and said, "I'm already dead, I'm afraid I have taken poison before." ”
"Then bring his body back with you."
"Yes."
Gu Mingyuan's words kept circling in his mind, so who was the one who shielded him from hiding the gold back then? Why is it useless to find out? Who is behind the scenes?
What's going on with all this?
After they disposed of Zhang Chun's body, they took people to the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, and quickly dismantled the ancestral hall, loaded several carts of gold, and the amount was also the same as that of the year.
It seems that Zhang Chun didn't spend a penny, and at the same time, he didn't transfer his position, there must be some special reason why he kept these disasters.
"Your Excellency!"
Yun Jue rushed in and said, "Someone is looking for you outside." ”
"Who is it?"
Gu Mingyuan stepped forward, and Yun Jue said, "It's the person who told us about the mark on the gold before." ”
Su Yuyue was a little worried, "Can you trust it?" ”
Yun Jue didn't know, but Gu Mingyuan still decided to go for a while, "Ah Yue, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go and see what this person has to say." ”
"Okay."
Su Yiyue didn't stop it, because Gu Mingyuan's current ability was about the same as her, and there should be no surprises when she thought about it.
After Gu Mingyuan got the answer, he came to the door, and the man arched his hand to him, "See Master Gu." ”
"What's the matter with me?"
"My lord wants to give you this letter."
Gu Mingyuan looked at the fact that the person also had a jackal tattoo on his arm, and remembered that Su Yiyue had said that the person who had purchased medicinal materials before and made the Disease Reduction Division be emptied also had a jackal tattoo.
They are the same people.
Gu Mingyuan took it in a deep voice, but when he opened it, he found that there was only one sentence written on it.
If the people you believe in are hypocrites, will you still hold fast to your heart? ’
Gu Mingyuan crushed the paper and said, "Does he know what my heart is?" Let him not be clever about himself. ”
The man was a little stunned, Gu Mingyuan didn't pay attention to it, and left the Zhang Mansion with someone after going back.
But what exactly did he mean, 'The people around you are hypocrites'?
After dealing with these things, Gu Mingyuan received a holy decree to escort this cadre back to the capital, and after the new Jiangnan political envoy entered Jiangnan, they took people back to the capital.
Then on the way back, there were officials and people to send each other, Gu Mingyuan's trip to Jiangnan attracted much attention, not to mention the pressure on a group of corrupt officials.
After Su Yiyue returned to the capital, she deliberately went around to another place, bought a gold bracelet, and went home happily.
When they returned to Beijing, their father-in-law Gu Song rushed back to the coast because of the salt matter, and now only her mother-in-law Tang is at home, if she gives her some small gifts, maybe she can be spared......
As soon as she entered the door, the housekeeper was stunned, "Young lady? ”
Su Yiyue nodded, "Well, I'm back!" ”
The butler suddenly exclaimed, "Young lady..... The young lady is back!! ”
At one point of this, several mothers-in-law suddenly came to the side, and they carried her to the ancestral hall together, and Su Yiyue didn't know what the situation was at all.
"Where are you taking me? What about the mother? I....... What exactly do you want to do? ”
didn't get a response, Su Yiyue saw Tang coming over, and her mother-in-law also let her go, she twisted her wrist and said:
"Mother...... It's ......."
Tang ignored her, raised his hand and said, "Let the female doctor come over." ”
"Yes."
Su Yiyue was taken aback, "Mother, I'm not sick, I don't need to ask a doctor, right?" ”
"Shut up."
Tang's murder, Su Yiyue decisively shut up.
The female doctor is a middle-aged woman, who came to the Gu family a year ago to treat the female dependents, she took the pulse for a while, and said, "Madam, young lady...... He is in good health and is fine. ”
Su Yiyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Let me say, I'm not sick, I'm safe." ”
Tang's face did not get better, and he said angrily: "How can you have nothing, you have been in Jiangnan for so long, there should be something wrong." ”
Su Yiyue was confused, "Mother...... So should I have something? ”
The mother-in-law reminded: "Young lady, the female doctor is specially to show you the happy pulse. ”
Su Yiyue was stunned for a moment, so what Tang said should be something, in fact, it meant her stomach?
"Ancestor of the Gu family, you see that I have worked very hard for so long, but this stinky girl is not angry, it has been more than a year, and there is no movement at all......"
The Tang family has been complaining to the ancestral tablet, Su Yuyue took this opportunity to leave secretly, but unfortunately before she reached the door, she was pulled back by the Tang family who suddenly turned back.
"Where are you going? Still want to hide? Get on my knees. ”
Su Yiyue knelt on the futon in frustration and listened to Tang's continued preaching, "You haven't been pregnant for so long, when will my master and I be able to hold our grandson!" You must know that Ming Yuan is a single heirloom of three generations, do you know what kind of responsibility you shoulder? ”
"Know ......"
"Know if you're not going to hurry up? Just let me give you a hurry? Do you know what people out there say about me? Why don't you think about it for me? ”
Su Yiyue weakly took out the gold bracelet and said, "Mother, I know it's wrong, this is my apology, and I will work harder in the future." ”
"Apologize, do you think I will forgive you if I accept your gift? Because of your business, the pressure put on me from outside is priceless, and no matter what you give me this time, I will definitely not ......"
She looked down at the golden bracelet and swallowed back what she had just said.
Su Yuyue said: "Mother, do you really not want it?" This is ten out of ten gold, which is precious. ”
"Don't, no, how could I be confused by your gadgets, the master has sent me a lot before......"
"Well, then I'll take back ......."
"Wait!" Tang snatched it away, "You actually dare to bribe me!" Still in front of the ancestors? I confiscated this thing on behalf of my ancestors. ”
She quietly turned around and took a bite, then turned back satisfied.
"But although the situation is serious now, for the sake of you just coming back from Jiangnan, I will spare you for the time being, go back quickly."
Su Yuyue hurriedly said, "Thank you, mother." ”
With that, she ran out.
Tang shook his head helplessly, looking at the gold bracelet in his hand, his eyes glowed with gold, but looking at so many ancestors ranked, he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"Ancestors, I'm not greedy for this gadget, I'm just sorry for the child who is tired all the way, don't think about it, I'm really not because of this."
But the ancestral tablet couldn't speak, and after a silent silence, she decisively picked up the bracelet and kissed it, "No matter, who doesn't love money, I've been very poor lately." ”
