Chapter 68: Profiteers
was already determined to frame him, and after Lu Qiuzhi was arrested, he didn't even try it, and took out the investigation evidence and directly convicted and locked up.
With the announcement of the next day, the next thing is to wait.
Lu Qiuzhi had a prosperous life some time ago, and he made a lot of money and fame.
Whether it is the position of the next principal of the academy, or the courtship of the county and Lu Qiuzhi's full acceptance of interests, any of these points are worthy of the vigilance of other families.
But just when everyone thought that Lu Qiuzhi was submissive to the imperial court, and the magistrate wanted to use Lu Qiuzhi to further control the academy, Lu Qiuzhi was arrested, not only arrested, but also beheaded the day after tomorrow.
The sudden change made several major families and monks puzzled for a while, and they didn't know how much water was mixed in this question.
"My lord, the people of the Xie family are here."
Hearing this, Gu Jiu and Zhixian raised their heads together, and sure enough, they were going to come.
"Let him wait a moment, and Lord Ben will pass."
Gu Jiu stood up and looked at the gradually disappearing figure of Zhixian, and a sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart - anyway, Lu Qiuzhi was going to die sooner or later, so he might as well kill him in advance, so as not to have too many dreams at night!
Different from the dungeon that Gu Jiu imagined, although there was no sense of blood here, even the blood stains were pitiful, and under the suppression of several major families, the county had not been able to catch any useful people in the past few years.
There were seven or eight people imprisoned outside the dungeon, and I think some of them had done something like stealing chickens and dogs. Walking further in, I vaguely saw Lu Qiuzhi's figure after a long while.
faded off the brocade clothes, ripped off the bundle of hair, and wore prison clothes, the hair was scattered, and there was no trace of the former scenery.
Hearing the movement, Lu Qiuzhi raised his head, and when he saw Gu Jiu, his originally unwavering eyes immediately brightened.
"Xiao Jiu, are you here to save your uncle? Don't worry, as long as you take Uncle out, Uncle can give you whatever you want! ”
Lu Qiuzhi's eyes were eager, looking at Gu Jiu as if he had seen the hope of life. He was unimpressed when he was brought in, thinking that someone would help him out soon.
But after a long time, let alone come to save him, there is no one to bring him food!
Feeling the rare hunger, Lu Qiuzhi "woke up" from the excitement of becoming the principal immediately. Before the county magistrate, he was showing goodwill to him, obviously wanting to get rid of him!
And the reason why no one came to save him at the moment was nothing more than that he had been too close to the magistrate before, which made other forces misunderstand something.
I thought I was really going to explain here, but I didn't expect Gu Jiu to come here suddenly, and now as long as I can go out, I will definitely be able to explain it to everyone!
"Shh~"
Gu Jiu made a silent movement, cautiously took out the cell door key from his arms, and opened the cell door in Lu Qiuzhi's expectant eyes.
With a bang, the chain opened, and before the chain could hit the ground, Lu Qiuzhi couldn't wait to squeeze out of the gap.
"Uncle Lu."
"Huh? Woo! ”
Lu Qiuzhi was just about to turn around when he covered his mouth and nose with a soft cloth mixed with medicine, and he passed out after two breaths.
"You're going to kill him right away?"
Hearing the movement, Gu Jiu raised his head suddenly: "Shaobaisi? Shouldn't you be with the prefectural magistrate right now? ”
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the body of the guard behind Shao Baisi who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Gu Jiu couldn't help but think of the incident by the lake last time, could this person be a light skill in the novel? Why is there no sound at all when I walk?
"It's the head of the Xie family who came to find the county order, not me."
"And you're here to save him?"
"Yes and no."
Gu Jiu looked at Shao Baisi and suddenly felt that this person was so strange, and seeing that the other party had no intention of coming, he took out a ball of white cloth from his cuffs.
Shao Baisi stood aside and watched in shock as Gu Jiu wrapped the white cloth around and around it, tying Lu Qiuzhi firmly to the dungeon pole.
How did she pull out such a big ball of white thread from her cuffs!
It doesn't look like it can fit so much!
After tying it up, Gu Jiu checked it again, and after making sure that no matter how hard Lu Qiuzhi struggled, he would not fall into a particularly obvious or fatal wound, he picked up the remaining white cloth on the ground and decisively covered the other party's mouth and nose.
Within a few seconds, Lu Qiuzhi woke up due to lack of oxygen.
Panicking and struggling will accelerate the consumption of oxygen, and after a while, Lu Qiuzhi will be suffocated to death.
"I can't see it, you little girl kills people, so decisively."
Shao Baisi stood aside, looked at Gu Jiu and quipped.
Gu Jiujie's hand did not pause at all, his tone was flat, and his voice was so stable that he couldn't tell that he had just killed someone.
"Shouldn't the young boy know the reason better than I do?"
"Fights that don't aim to kill each other are flirting."
"From the moment the decision was implemented, Lu Qiuzhi and I could only live one."
After putting away the white cloth, Gu Jiu dragged Lu Qiuzhi back to the cell, relocked it, and restored everything to the way it was at the beginning.
Turning his head, he looked at Shao Baiji.
"Thank you, young man, for making it happen."
Out of the dungeon, looking at the bright daylight, Gu Jiu returned the same way in a good mood.
In the dungeon, after Gu Jiu left, Shao Baisi looked at Lu Qiuzhi, who had lost his breath, shook his head and chuckled.
It's really a rough little girl, if you just suffocated to death, you can save it.
……
"Miss Yu, if there is anything urgent, Lord Yu will tell you, Your Highness was ordered to go to Qi City, and now it is time to leave, and the ministers are still waiting at the city gate to see each other."
"If Miss Yu doesn't have anything urgent, let's go back first. At the same time, please also ask Miss Yu to clean up her clothes, so as not to let outsiders see the joke. ”
Hearing Shen Xianyue's voice, Yu Jiuli frowned fiercely, what is there to be proud of, Your Highness just doesn't know your true face!
When I tell Your Highness everything you have done, you will be finished!
Originally, she wanted to wait a little longer, and wait until the prince's birthday banquet to say, but those aunts were more ruthless than the other, and the people in the house were not good things.
As the saying goes: it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. She has become accustomed to the days when she is dressed to reach out for food and open her mouth, and she is sought after and stammered, how can she be grateful to Dade when she has a bite to eat like before.
"Your Highness, what the courtiers want to say is exactly what Xiao Beiyue is talking about!"
"That's right." Shen Xianyue smiled, looked at Gu Qingze and said, "Then I probably know what is going on, Your Highness's peach blossom debts are really a lot, Your Highness listens slowly, the courtiers are waiting for Your Highness at the city gate." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Gu Qingze to react, he left directly.
Looking at the prince with his eyebrows twisted, Yu Jiuli felt a trace of joy in his heart, and he really thought who he was, daring to leave directly in front of the prince.
But then Yu Jiuli was dumbfounded: "Let go of Miss Ben, Your Highness, Your Highness!" That Xiao Beiyue is not a good thing, Your Highness, don't be deceived! ”
All that responded to her was Gu Qingze's back and the pointing of the people beside her.
Gu Qingze is such a sleek person, how could he let himself fall into a bad opinion, Shen Xianyue went to the city gate by herself first, and was inevitably asked by others about the reason.
Now is the critical moment, if someone with a heart hears that he is in vain for the sake of the king's order, then he will not die unjustly!
Seeing this, Yu Jiuli wanted to step forward and fight for himself, took a sharp breath, closed his eyes and heart, and raised his legs to rush up to stop a soldier behind.
Thinking that she is also the young lady of the Yu family now, it is impossible for a lowly soldier to ignore herself.
Yu Jiuli thought very well, but she ignored one point, all the ladies in the palace have little eunuchs, but the most respected, even comparable to the ministers of the court, is the big eunuch next to the emperor.
As expected, the soldier not only didn't stop, but also pushed her because Yu Jiuli stopped his progress.
After waiting for the prince's people, Yu Jiuli, who was crawling on the ground with a disgraced face, immediately became the target of the people's fingers, and several of the prince's admirers even walked up to Yu Jiuli to scold her.
It's not that they are chivalrous, it's just that Yu Jiuli is not favored at first glance.
"Your Highness?"
Shen Xianyue rode very fast, but when she was about to reach the city gate, Gu Qingze still arrived.
Hearing the sound, Shen Xianyue controlled the horse and slowly stopped.
"Your Highness is pretty fast."
"Huh, you can ride fast, the main hall is a little later, I'm afraid you're going to Qicheng."
Shen Xianyue turned her head and said nonchalantly: "That's also His Highness's fault, His Highness has too many suitors, and there are always two or three people who don't know how important they are jumping in front of the courtiers." ”
"Haha, you! Rest assured, there won't be any more. ”
While speaking, the group had already arrived at the city gate, and Gu Qingze found Yu Zhengtian in the crowd of congratulations.
"The adults are worried about the court, and they should also take some time out from time to time to care for their children."
"This ...... The officials are ignorant and don't know what His Highness is referring to? ”
Gu Qingze didn't look at it, but looked at Shen Xianyue.
Shen Xianyue: ...... Oh, man. Do you still want to make this young valley master a bad guy?
"Untidy clothes, blocking horses in public, don't you want to force this palace to marry her?" Seeing that Shen Xianyue didn't speak, Gu Qingze had no choice but to speak by himself.
"This ...... Xia Guan must teach her well when she goes back! ”
After the episode, the army continued to move forward, and Shen Xianyue knew very well that Yu Jiuli would not survive tonight.
Yu Zhengtian would not let her continue to live at all.
Qicheng and Shangjing are not a day, even if they ride a horse, they can't be reached in a day, and when they rested in the evening, Shen Xianyue unconsciously remembered the face of "Ghost Three Knives" again.
Cutting away the three knife marks, Gu Qingze has some similarities with him.
As soon as this concept came out, Shen Xianyue's mind suddenly became extremely clear.
If, if Gu Qingze is really the child of the "Ghost Three Blades", then it can perfectly explain why the "Ghost Three Knives" found Gu Qingze and why they helped him.
That Gu Qingze was able to catch the abyss, maybe it was also because of the "ghost three knives".
How did the "Ghost Three Knives" find Lin Guifei? Or is Gu Qingze not Lin Guifei's biological child at all?!
"What do you think?"
Gu Qingze walked over with a bag of pastries and asked.
Shen Xianyue raised her head and hesitated: "The courtiers are worried that the grain in Qicheng is now in a shortage again. ”
