Chapter 356: Do You Trust Him
Lord Han?
Han Shiyan's heart was shocked, and he turned his head to meet Gu Shiwei's inquiring gaze.
He shook his head and said decisively, "It's not my father, my father is only a mortal, how can he have a protΓ©gΓ©?" β
Although Gu Shiwei guessed that the Lord Han in Tao Ran's mouth should refer to Han Jingyan's father, Uncle Han, who is also one of the current Three Princes.
But Han Shiyan, you must say that your father can't do it in such a tone, is it really okay?
Tao Ran on the side saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and then he suddenly remembered that Han Shiyan was also surnamed Han, he cleared his throat, and couldn't help but ease the atmosphere and said:
"Hahahaha, in fact, he doesn't mention Lord Han much, isn't this that you have to ask me to pull out the general from the dwarf, so I just said one?"
"Besides, it doesn't matter if your dad doesn't have the ability! He's a princess! also made good bamboo shoots and gave birth to your ......"
Tao Ran's voice became smaller and smaller...... In the end, in Han Shiyan's cold gaze, it was all swallowed into his stomach, and there was no sound at all.
Gu Shiwei was a little speechless when he heard this, and he felt a trace of pity for the Dayong official family inexplicably in his heart.
If he could hear the voices of the guards around him, he would not be angry immediately......
There is a long life inside, and there is a strange Tao Ran outside.
But......
Gu Shiwei complained in his heart, but he didn't fully believe Tao Ran's words, who knew that the person behind the scenes kept his life, didn't he want him to mislead her to have a banquet with Han Shi and disturb the audio-visual?
Tao Ran saw that Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan were silent, picked up the teapot on the table and took a big sip into his mouth.
This action was too rude, and it stood out in the quiet room, Tao Ran felt embarrassed, and explained a little curtly, "Maybe this pill has residual poison, and I feel very thirsty." β
"My lords, I am much older than you, and my children are as old as you. I swear that it will be thundered by heaven and cut off my grandchildren! β
"I was born in the mountains, and my family only had a few thin fields, and my sister starved to death because of famine. And my little brother, when A-Niang was pregnant with him, he ate grass and gnawed leaves every day, and he was born green...... It's still like moss in the gutter. β
"I was born with a lot of strength and ate a lot. I didn't have anything to eat at home, so I went to the martial arts hall to be a stick, what did I do? It's just that those rich sons and brothers have to have a fight when they fight, they can't hurt them, but they can fight against each other, and they can't cause trouble if they are killed. β
"God knows how big the fire was in my ancestral grave, and how many people my ancestors begged step by step, and I became the little leader of the escort tax silver."
Tao Ran said with some embarrassment, "I have suffered hardships, and I know that it is not easy for me to get to where I am today, how can I risk cutting off my head to steal any tax silver for the sake of Laoshizi's tax silver?" β
"That's an official thing, even if I have the life to take it, then I won't have a life to spend it! I swear I didn't steal the money. β
Gu Shi's eyes moved, and his eyes looked deeply at Tao Ran in front of him, "You don't have it, but Jiang Xun does." β
"Our men found a lost ingot of gold and a painting from his house. A piece of paper on which a poem was written. β
Han Shiyan on the side listened, his fingers moved slightly.
What Gu Shiwei said before was that he found an ingot of gold in Jiang Xun's house and Ou Song's "Watching the Eagle", and there was no paper at all.
"What kind of poem?" Tao Ran asked curiously.
Gu Shiwei shook his head, and quietly touched his sleeve pocket, but said, "The case is related, and it cannot be disclosed at will, this is crucial evidence." Jiang Xun Xu was indebted in his heart, so he left this puzzle that allowed him to correct what he had done. β
"I thought we could get more puzzle clues from you, but unfortunately ......"
As she spoke, she stood up, and then looked at the twenty-three feigned death pills on the table, which were neatly arranged.
"So Lord Tao was able to rise to prominence after being demoted, and directly did this capital inspection, is it because he offered medicine to the official family? It was indeed a fire on your ancestral grave, and you have to kneel down to thank your ancestors for their blessings. β
Tao Ran listened, but was a little dissatisfied.
"Lord Gu doesn't like what he said, the Imperial City Division and the Imperial Historical Observatory supervise the civil and military officials, if you want to find out what Tao was promoted, is there any shady deal, it's not easier than opening your mouth to eat."
"If this prescription Tao is offered, he has too many medical people to test the medicine, where can I use it here to try one by one?"
"The palace is full of nobles, Tao has eight guts, my ancestor knelt his knees in the underworld, and I don't dare to hand over a remnant recipe casually, in case something goes wrong with eating, let alone a smooth progress, the bones of the ancestors will run out and raise!"
"After I was demoted, I relied on suppressing bandits on the canal, killing them one by one."
"As for entering this palace, as soon as you inquire, you will know that thanks to the old father-in-law's matchmaking, you have this opportunity. Tao sat up straight, that is, the official asked me, and I answered like this. β
Gu Shiwei listened, stood up and arched his hand at Tao Ran.
"They are all military attachΓ©s, so I don't have to be polite to adults. Even if it's not for Jiang Xun, adults think about their own lives, please tell me what details you recall, otherwise ......"
Gu Shiwei pointed to the fake death pill on the table, "Otherwise, this fake death will become a real death." β
Tao Ran's expression froze, and he nodded at Gu Shiwei, "This is nature." β
As he spoke, as if he was very thirsty, he picked up the teapot on the table and drank it again.
After taking a big sip, he grinned and walked to the door and opened the door to see off the guests.
Gu Shiwei glanced at Han Shiyan and walked towards the door.
At this time, the courtyard suddenly returned to normal, the white flags and lanterns that had been hung up before had been removed, and those filial sons and grandsons who wore linen and filial piety were even more gone.
Only Steward Wang was left standing there quietly with his head bowed.
Gu Shi glanced at him lightly, grabbed Han Shiyan's arm, and took him directly onto the beam.
She ran on the roof for a while, but then she turned a corner and went around to the corner gate of the back garden of the Tao Mansion.
The corner door was tightly closed, and the peach blossoms that came out of the wall had already been thanked by this time, giving birth to layers of green leaves. At this time, the sun was already in the west, and the sun was hitting the leaves, which looked like copper plating.
The back alley is quiet, not to mention people, not even cats.
Han Shiyan rubbed his arm that was almost broken, and looked at Gu Shiwei, who was standing diagonally against the wall, "You don't believe Tao Ran's words?" β
Gu Shiwei pursed her lips, her throat was a little itchy, and she hurriedly took out a pear paste candy from her sleeve pocket, tilted her head and threw it into her mouth.
"Who knows? There are several faces in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, where we can see it casually. β
Although Tao Ran's words are all right, it just happens to clear his suspicions. But do you know that the person behind the curtain didn't deliberately spare his life to confuse the public and let him deliberately mislead us? β
"After all, the deputy commander of the palace is not a cat or dog that can be killed casually! The disobedient chickens were killed, and the obedient monkeys were not allowed to stay. β
