Half an hour later, Zhu Lingsu returned to the room alone, and there were still a few guards at the door.

As for Zhang Fuquan, who privately let Gu Changgong and Zhu Lingsu have a tryst, and a few other subordinates, they were ordered by Gu Zhenyu to take dozens of boards each.

Gu Changgong looked at Zhang Fuquan and several of them limping, and was helped in by other subordinates, and was immediately shocked, and asked Gu Zhenyu: "Dad, why are you beating them?" I'm going in! ”

Gu Zhenyu glared at him, looked at Zhang Fuquan lightly, and said, "Fuquan, thank you for the young master's reward!" ”

"Thank you, young master!" Zhang Fuquan knelt down with several subordinates behind him and shouted in unison.

Gu Changgong was angry, glared at Gu Zhenyu and asked, "Dad, why are you angry with them?" Something is coming at me in the future. ”

After speaking, he turned around, knelt down in front of Zhang Fuquan with a plop, and said, "Uncle Fuquan, I'm sorry for you. ”

Zhang Fuquan hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Young Master, get up quickly." The master is not angry with us, I know in my heart, young master, we were wrong. If you don't get up, your Uncle Fuquan won't be able to live. ”

Gu Zhenyu said softly at this time: "I heard it!" Changgong, thanks to the fact that you have been reading books for so many years, you have not yet understood the truth. ”

Gu Changgong straightened up, faced Gu Zhenyu, and said solemnly: "Since I was sensible, Uncle Fuquan has been in our family, for so many years, he has been better to me than you have been to me, you are not invisible, I understand everything else, only one thing I don't understand, Gu Zhenyu, where do you come from such a hard-hearted heart?" ”

Gu Zhenyu was stunned when he heard this, and Zhang Fuquan, who was kneeling on the ground, was also shocked, and hurriedly said: "Young master, why do you say that about the master?" Go down, all of you. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the rest of the people to stand down.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhenyu raised his hand to stop him: "No one is allowed to leave!" Now, what face do I need? Fuquan, let him pour out all the swear words today. Let me show you what kind of precious son I, the hard-hearted Prince Duan, have raised. ”

Zhang Fuquan saw that Gu Changgong took a step forward and was about to speak, so he immediately grabbed his sleeve and pleaded: "Young master, I beg you, you can say a few words." ”

Gu Changgong squatted down, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Uncle Fuquan, let me finish speaking." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, looked at Gu Zhenyu and said, "Dad, I know that I didn't keep my word just now, and I even wanted to sneak Su'er out of here, even now, I want to take Su'er away." You know why? Because I don't believe in you, I never believed in you! ”

When he said this, he suddenly raised his voice and said in an angry tone: "Dad, you are insidious and vicious, you are ruthless, I don't think you have the courage to admit this, but I can see and hear, I was born in Prince Duan's Mansion, I feel ashamed!" ”

"Anything else?" Hearing this, Gu Zhenyu asked lazily.

"Also, but I won't say it!" Gu Changgong turned around indignantly.

"Say it, don't hold back!"

"Say no more!"

"If you don't say it, I'm going to say it!" Gu Zhenyu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "You also call me Dad, can you sit down and listen?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Fuquan, who lowered his head, and said, "Fuquan, you also sit down." Let all the others go down, and go to the account room, and receive twenty denarii to heal their wounds. Tell them to bring me a pot of strong tea. ”

"Yes!" The people immediately responded.

"Go ahead, Uncle Fuquan will be taken care of by me." Gu Changgong helped the limping Zhang Fuquan to sit on the chair next to him, and let the two subordinates leave.

Gu Zhenyu narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Changgong, you said that I was insidious and vicious, right?" I'm telling you, you're right. But let's not talk about this today, I will tell you slowly in the future, and today we will first talk about what is called iron-hearted. Why hard-hearted? ”

When Gu Changgong heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Dad, I really feel very surprised that you can admit this." At least, you're a real villain. ”

Gu Zhenyu snorted and said, "Do you think that if I beat them, I will be called hard-hearted?" ”

Gu Changgong replied: "Your hard-hearted heart is more than that. I don't want to mention it again! ”

Gu Zhenyu said: "Okay, at least it can be said to be one of them, let's talk about this matter, I hope you draw inferences, do you think that what Fuquan said just now was to admit his mistakes, and he was willing to be punished, was it a heartfelt word, or a face-saving word?" ”

"I don't know." Gu Changgong pursed his lips and said.

Gu Zhenyu glanced at Zhang Fuquan and said firmly: "I know, what he said is from his heart." Because he has experienced pain, he has experienced life and death, so he understands your father's difficulties! Our Duan's Mansion has been in turmoil for decades, and there have been three catastrophes on the verge of extinction alone, the first time you were still young, the second time I hid it from you, and now it is the third time. The first two times, we gritted our teeth and survived. He knows this best! Think about it, if someone breaks your father's hands and feet, won't your father's heart hurt at all? If your father didn't have a little bit of hard heart, would he be able to survive? ”

When Zhang Fuquan heard this, he nodded again and again and agreed: "The master is right!" ”

Gu Zhenyu sighed and said faintly: "Changgong, you have almost everything you want in your life, you don't understand the difficulties in the world, this is not your fault." This is because your father spoils you, and in your father's circle, it is famous for being good to his subordinates, not to mention that I didn't take Fuquan as an outsider, you should always know this, right? ”

Gu Changgong said a little perfunctorily: "It's good that my father is a scholar!" ”

Gu Zhenyu paused and continued: "Think about it again, have I ever moved a finger of Fuquan over the years? No! But why did I hit him today? Because he is soft-hearted, you are the one who makes him soft-hearted. He knew that I didn't want to scold you, let alone beat you, so he relented. Moreover, he also knows that with what you have done, coupled with his soft-heartedness, our Duan Prince's Mansion will definitely let people kill a chicken and dog. I want to ask you, what kind of heart do you have when you watch so many relatives die for you? ”

When Gu Changgong heard this, he was silent before replying: "I have always been unwilling for my father to mix in the officialdom again, we can find a clean land, cultivate our own land, and live a free life." Wouldn't that be better? ”

"Hehehehe......" Gu Zhenyu laughed when he heard it, and said, "Clean land? Do you want to learn from Tao Yuanming? Hum! That's your choice, your father is not as good as your life, he has no choice but to hold on! Do you think you can't get off just by getting on a thief ship? For example, the little girl you brought back, if it was to Tao Yuanming's house, then they would only have to wash their necks and wait to be beheaded! But when it comes to Prince Duan's Mansion, which makes you feel ashamed, it's different, especially if you have a father who is willing to be a real villain. At this point, which saint and gentleman do you expect to come out and save the lives of the two of you? ”

"You mean, to save the two of us?" Gu Changgong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Gu Zhenyu in disbelief.

Gu Zhenyu said with a serious face: "If you continue to mess around like this, you won't even be saved." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changgong picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Gu Zhenyu in person.

Gu Zhenyu lifted the lid of the bowl, took a shallow sip, and finally smiled.

Gu Changgong also figured it out, it turned out that his father had worked hard for himself and Zhu Lingsu!

In the evening, Gu Zhenyu lay on the recliner leisurely, and Aunt Liu, who was sitting on the side staring at a book, yawned and said a little sleepily: "Master, can you explain this matter tomorrow?" I wish it was dawn now. ”

Gu Zhenyu said faintly: "Zhu Lingsu stays in our house for a while, and the knife is close to our neck, you just don't know how powerful things are, don't talk nonsense, quickly carry it!" ”
