The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1173
Before Gu Chengyu could speak, she went on to say: "So, please Master Gu to find out the truth, wash away Xue's grievances, and return Master Liang's innocence!"

"Young lady is eloquent!" Gu Chengyu's eyes sparkled, but his expression remained calm, which made Liu Su'er a little uncertain.

According to the information they found before, Mr. Gu is one year younger than her.But the other party looked like an old man who had been immersed in the officialdom for a long time, making it difficult to find out the truth.

Gu Chengyu got up, pulled the door latch, and stepped out.

Liu Su'er couldn't help being surprised, "Master Gu?"

Gu Chengyu didn't turn his head back, "You just stay here, if something happens, I will send someone to look for you!"

Watching the slender figure disappear from sight, Liu Su'er couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground.

She knew that Gu Chengyu had agreed.

Zhang Yang and others who were waiting in the courtyard saw Gu Chengyu leaving the house, and hurriedly waited aside respectfully.

Zhang Yang sneaked a glance at Gu Chengyu out of the corner of his eye, then looked at Liu Su'er who was sitting on the ground, who was about to cry, and couldn't help but look a little weird.

"My lord, my villain saw Young Master Wanqian just now!" Ming Yan saw his master and hurried forward to report.

Although this is a trivial matter, adults have said, don't underestimate these trivial matters, sometimes these small matters can also become the key to success or failure.

"Oh! Wan Qian lives in Nancheng, so it's not surprising to see him here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chengyu looked up at the sky.It's about the beginning of Mao Shichu, so you go out so early?
Whether it is a workshop or a shop, the doors have not yet opened, so where is Wan Qian going so early?

"Is he alone? When you saw him, was there anything unusual about him?" Gu Chengyu was afraid that there was something wrong with the shop or workshop, so he asked more.

"Young Master Wan Qian has no one else around. He walked very fast. Just as the villain was about to call him, he flashed into an alley to the west and disappeared immediately."

At first, Mingyan thought it was his own eyesight, but after thinking about it, he was very sure that this person should be Young Master Wanqian.

Gu Wanqian often goes to Gu's residence, so Mingyan is very familiar with him.You can recognize it just by looking at the back, so it is absolutely impossible to admit your mistake.

"However, the villain is still a little puzzled. Master Wanqian is dressed very plainly." Ming Yan thought of Gu Wanqian's muslin double-breasted gown, and couldn't help but feel strange.

The master treats Young Master Wanqian very well, and now Gu Wanqian's annual salary is no less than 300 taels of silver.Not to mention the rewards during festivals and festivals, even on weekdays, adults often help.

Gu Wanqian hadn't dressed so plainly for three or four years, that's why Mingyan was so curious.

Gu Chengyu was also very puzzled, "Sujing? What do you say?"

Ming Yan touched her head, and suddenly became a little uncertain.

"It's a black cotton shirt. The villain took a quick look at it just now, and I don't know if I read it wrong."

Gu Chengyu frowned, it's quite normal if he misunderstood.After all, the sky is still a little dark at the moment, so there must be some confusion. In addition, Gu Wanqian left too fast, so it is understandable to be wrong.

But regardless of the clothes, Gu Wanqian appeared here so early, this is the strangest place, this place is not in the same direction as workshops and shops.

"How is the search going? Is there any movement on the other two sides?" Gu Chengyu kept the matter of Gu Wanqian in his heart for the time being, and asked about the current search.

From the search two hours ago to the present, there is still nothing.

"Nothing has been found yet. There is news from the other two sides just now, and there is nothing unusual for the time being. My lord, this area is about to be searched, and only the southernmost part is left. Who is your lord going to send?"

Since no results were found here, most of those people are hiding there.It's just that fish and dragons are mixed there, if these people hide separately, it will be difficult to search.

Although people have been sent to patrol there before, but so far there has been no abnormal news.

"I don't worry about sending someone else, let's go right away! We've already made a fuss, but there is still no movement over there. It seems that those people are quite calm. Let's leave it to these officials! Maybe they can't find out. What's the matter. What is the origin of that person just now? But it has something to do with the assassin?"

Gu Chengyu pondered for a while, and felt that it would be safer to go there in person.As for the man, he asked like this, but he already understood in his heart that Yue had little to do with the assassin.

"Returning to my lord, this person is actually a bandit. I have been asking Tianfu to commit crimes before. Some time ago, the prefect of Wentianfu sent people to wipe out the cottage. As the leader of the bandit, this person is not weak in martial arts. He escaped during this campaign. , All the way to the capital. According to his account, there are many lives in his hands."

Ming Yan felt that this person actually only had some brute strength, and in terms of martial arts, he was still a little behind him, let alone an adult.

Just like that, the government of Wentian Mansion failed to catch him.But their kung fu was taught by adults to teach them the secrets of kung fu, so naturally they are no better than them.

"Did you ask him why he came to the capital?" Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of something, and asked Ming Yan.

"I asked. He said that when he was suppressed, he was a little panicked. But after he came to the capital, he felt that the people in the capital were rich and there were many wealthy businessmen. If he could spend some time, he would recruit some of his subordinates and tie up those people. A wealthy businessman will definitely be able to squeeze out a lot of money."

Speaking of this, Ming Yan also felt that this person was a bit out of his mind.

In terms of prosperity, Jiangnan is not much better than the capital.The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, there are many aristocratic families in the capital, and hundreds of civil and military officials gather here. If you want to commit a crime here, wouldn't that be your own death?

If you run into someone with a strong backstage, when those aristocratic families send out family slayers, even ten heads of that person are not enough to cut off.

"Want to come to the capital to continue to make a living?" Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, then sneered.

"You ask Mingmo to check the details of this person carefully, and send someone to ask Tianfu for verification. Since he is a fugitive, the government over there must have this person's portrait and name. Report this person's movements in Wentianfu to me , the sooner the better!"

Gu Chengyu felt that what this person said just now was absolutely true, but the other party's identity as a bandit should not be faked.It's just that I don't know what I came to the capital for.

Ming Yan suddenly looked serious, "Yes!"

Gu Wanqian dodged an alley, then turned a few turns, observed behind him secretly, and made sure that no one was following him, and then hurried south.

Seeing the dilapidated eaves in front of him, and the little beggars rushing out with broken bowls, he was relieved immediately.

He didn't dare to ride in a carriage, it was too eye-catching to get here.

When the little beggars saw a man walking towards him, he was dressed plainly and wore a crumpled cross-collared gown. He looked like a poor scholar.So they didn't go forward to ask for money, and ran quickly to the way the man came.
