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

Chapter 1189

The crown prince rushed to the East Palace in a hurry, and when he saw Gu Chengyu, he quickly asked: "Master Gu, but there is a result?"

Gu Chengyu hurriedly gave a salute, "Report to Your Highness! This is the confession of five of them, please read it!"

The prince didn't wait for Pang Chu to come forward, and took it over himself.

He picked up the paper and looked at ten lines at a glance, but the more he looked, the tighter his frown became.

After a while, the prince slapped the confession in his hand on the desk, "It's simply unreasonable!"

The prince was so angry that Pang Chu was taken aback.Then he stood aside tremblingly, and even slowed down his breathing as much as possible.

"Hmph! It's been a long time since the Daxing thief broke into our Dayan, and Chang Yuan, who guards the Yuhe Pass, didn't even notice it? If he wants to enter our Dayan territory, he has to go through two checkpoints. Ren Xiuguang from Yumen Pass also doesn't know anything? It's just ridiculous."

The prince was so angry that his chest heaved violently. Since these spies have been here for many years, will there be any officials in the court colluding with Daxing?
"Your Highness, please calm down! These dead men don't know much, they only know that there will be someone to meet them when they come this time. If it wasn't for one of them being their little leader who knew more than them, we wouldn't even be able to ask these questions. It's a pity that this person's status is not high, and other matters are beyond his control."

Gu Chengyu was not surprised to see the prince was furious.After all, someone broke into his bed and even dared to assassinate him blatantly. Who would not be worried and afraid?
If there are still people in Daxing staying in the capital, planning to assassinate the prince again, then the prince's life is indeed in danger.

"Then the address that this person mentioned, you should send someone to search it immediately, but there is probably no one there at the moment. After all, they have already made a fuss, so how can those people stay where they are and wait for us to search?"

This little boss is the person who directly contacts the mastermind behind the scenes, but he has to wait for the other party to leave him a password before he can contact the other party.

According to the little boss, the locations of the masterminds are different every time they meet. Gu Chengyu expected that these people would change their residence after a while to avoid being discovered.

Furthermore, these people are very suspicious, and they may change their residence immediately after meeting the little boss.As for why it is so troublesome, if you don't find a teahouse or other place to meet, it is probably because you are afraid of being seen.

Now that you are used to hiding in the dark, why are you afraid of being seen?Unless they are in the capital, they are worried about running into acquaintances.In other words, someone has seen their true faces.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the Tushi who was rescued before.This person's status should not be low, so could this person be in the capital now, or even the mastermind of this plan to assassinate the prince?
Thinking about it this way, Gu Chengyu also had an idea.He thought of Xia Qing who was in prison, and couldn't help but glanced at the prince, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"After these people have seen this person, they will immediately change their residences. At this moment, the courtyard at the foot of the South City is probably empty. However, the lower official has a quick way. It may be possible to catch the mastermind as soon as possible."

Gu Chengyu's attitude was respectful, with a very calm expression on his face.

"Oh? Mr. Gu, come quickly!" The prince's eyes lit up, it is of course good to catch him as soon as possible.

"I have to borrow someone from His Highness to use this method!"

The corners of Gu Chengyu's lips curled up slightly. He had considered this candidate carefully.It can not only test the prince's mind, but also solve the matter, and there are many benefits, it can be achieved in one fell swoop.

"Do you want some good help? This civil and military officer of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as you need it, you can use it! It doesn't matter how high you are, just open your mouth."

The crown prince believed in Gu Chengyu's ability, as long as Gu Chengyu was willing to spare no effort to do things for him, he would naturally ask for people to give and money for money.

Gu Chengyu shook his head, then stretched out a finger, "Just one person!"

The prince was a little confused, not knowing who it was.

"It's that Xia Qing!"

The crown prince looked over in astonishment, seeing that Gu Chengyu was acting calmly, and he didn't seem to want to avenge his own personal revenge, so he nodded slowly.

At the beginning of Youshi, when Gu Chengyu left the East Palace, night had already completely fallen.

Going to South Street in a carriage, Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain and looked out.Because of the time of national mourning, the people are not allowed to marry for a hundred days, and they are not allowed to enjoy the joy of silk and bamboo and hold large banquets.

Even the famous brothels in the capital have closed down, and there are only a few dim lanterns swaying in the wind in front of the gates.

"Go home!"

Ming Mo couldn't help hesitating when he heard the clear voice.

"My lord! Didn't you just say that you want to find out if there is any harvest from Mr. Peng?" Ming Mo reminded Gu Chengyu that he would forget.

"Don't worry, most of today's work will be in vain!" Gu Chengyu tugged on the linen long-sleeved T-shirt with a slightly tired expression.

I haven't had a good rest for two days and two nights in a row, so I took advantage of my position today to go back to my residence for a short rest.

Besides, he had important things to do.It's not that he underestimated Peng Fang and Jiang Shaohua, these two people won't gain anything.

"Jiang Shaohua, is there any change?" Thinking of Jiang Shaohua, this is an important person and cannot be taken lightly.

"Not yet!"

"It's not yet time, send more people to follow him at night. No matter who he sees, he must send people to follow and report to me."

It is not easy to act during the day, and the best time is at night.Even if Jiang Shaohua wants to contact someone, he can only choose at night.

"Yes, my lord!"

Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, thinking about the next plan in his mind.

Eldest brother is far away at the border, and the obituary of the emperor's death has not yet arrived at the border, but he has already sent someone to deliver the letter day and night.

It's just that the border gate is too far away from the capital, so it may take two days to deliver it.Such a long distance, even the flying pigeons can't reach it.

The most important thing at the moment is to let the senior brother pay attention to the changes at the border, and the chief guard guarding the border is not without suspicion.The war is about to break out, Yin Kun is a frail scholar who doesn't know much about marching and fighting, and Gu Chengyu is also afraid that something will happen.

"My lord! Look, there is a person in front of the mansion gate, it seems to be Miss Liu!" Ming Mo saw a slender figure under the lantern in front of the corner gate, and he took a closer look, only to realize that it was Liu Su'er.

Gu Chengyu frowned when he heard the words, and then remembered that he had accepted Liu Su'er's criminal evidence. At this moment, the other party might feel a little uneasy.

I was busy catching the assassin today, so I didn't leave a letter to him.I probably couldn't bear it anymore, so I came to find myself, wanting to find out my real purpose.

Liu Su'er pinched the corner of her clothes, feeling a little apprehensive.She also knew that during the national funeral, Gu Chengyu, as an official of the court, should be very busy.

It's just that when Gu Chengyu left last time, her attitude was unclear, and the evidence in her hands was taken away by Gu Chengyu, how could she feel at ease?

After thinking about it, I still couldn't feel relieved, so I decided to come and find out.
