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

Chapter 1199 Whose house did you go to?

Zhou Yuancong trembled his lips, fixed his eyes on the jade pendant, and did not answer.Gu Chengyu showed an expression of impatience, he took a few steps forward and approached Zhou Yuancong.

Now Zhou Yuancong could see it more clearly, he would naturally recognize this jade pendant, and he would never forget it.

He turned his gaze to Gu Chengyu, only to see that Gu Chengyu's face was as sinking as water, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes looking at him.

"Ask again, Master Zhou, have you thought it through carefully? Otherwise, I will be punished again." Gu Chengyu opened his thin lips lightly, and his voice was very gentle, but the content of these words made Zhou Yuan tremble. I shivered.

He stared closely at Gu Chengyu's eyes, but he still couldn't see any abnormal emotions from the other's eyes.It seems that Gu Chengyu's purpose is already very clear, and he will never tell him more news.

"Master Gu! For the sake of being officials in the same dynasty, let's have a good time! Otherwise, no matter how much you torture me, I won't say anything, so why waste your time?"

"Lord Zhou, this is not up to me, so don't embarrass me anymore." Gu Chengyu sighed, and then waved to the jailer who was ready beside him.

As soon as he walked out of this torture room, there was the sound of crackling whips behind him.

How could the whip not hurt?He touched the jade pendant hanging around his waist, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

It was not his original intention to threaten Zhou Yuancong, but he had to do so.Otherwise, if Zhou Yuancong could not survive the punishment, Prince Jing would have to expose him in advance, which would be very disadvantageous to him.

However, after he took a step forward, that trace of guilt was also suppressed in his heart.

Zhou Yuan never survived. Before rebelling, he should be prepared to be caught.Prince Jing himself did not show up, and sent Zhou Yuancong to take the lead, in order to fish in troubled waters.

To capture the thief, first capture the king. If the prince is held hostage first, then the rest will be a matter of course.If this plan cannot be successful, then as long as Zhou Yuancong is well controlled, he can still escape unscathed while hiding behind the scenes.

It's strange, Zhou Yuancong can only be blamed for being too stupid.This has always been the case in the officialdom. Conspiracies and schemes take turns to play. If you are not careful, you will become a pawn in the hands of others.

As soon as he walked out of the torture room, Gu Chengyu bumped into Xia Qing and Pang Gonggong head-on.

"Eunuch Pang still has something to do?" Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, this read the prince's handbook, shouldn't he be taken out of the prison immediately?

Pang Chu glanced at Xia Qing beside him, hesitant to speak.Although Xia Qing was dismissed from office, who knows what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks!
If the person is recalled to the court after a period of time, although the official cannot be restored to his original post, it is possible to be demoted by two ranks.

Thinking about it this way, for the time being, he can't offend this person.So Xia Qing said that he would wait for Gu Chengyu, and he agreed, but in fact, it was just a trivial matter!
"Master Gu, it was the old man who asked Eunuch Pang to wait for a while. I heard that this time Zhou Yuan rebelled, Mr. Gu did a lot of credit for protecting the crown prince. And the old man was able to wash away his grievances and walk out of this prison. Thanks to Mr. Gu for his kind words to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Gu Chengyu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he smiled slightly, cursing inwardly, what kind words?If the prince could listen to me, I would have asked the prince to get rid of you long ago.

"Your Majesty Xia is being polite. It is also because you have worked so hard and devoted yourself to the court. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks about his past affection, so he will show you a favor."

Gu Chengyu's complexion had already returned to normal at this moment, as if the previous anger did not exist at all, and he was still respectful and polite to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing smiled tearfully, "Master Gu, don't be modest, the old man is no longer the chief assistant, and I can't afford to be so respectful to Mr. Gu."

Seeing that Gu Chengyu's face quickly returned to normal, he secretly sighed in his heart, this son is really hard to deal with.

"Eunuch Pang, why didn't Your Highness release me? Since even Lord Xia has been cleared of all suspicions, why didn't you release me? Please also ask Lord Gu to say a few words in front of His Highness and let me go. Bar?"

The iron chain rattled, You Shaofeng grabbed the iron railing and begged Gu Chengyu.

He heard what Xia Qing said just now.He would ask Gu Chengyu for help, but he was in a hurry to go to the doctor.Now that he is in a very dire situation, how can he think about the meaning of Xia Qing's words?
Hearing the urgency in his tone, Gu Chengyu turned around to look, only to see that the opponent's body was covered with whip marks.A white middle coat has become rags, and the blood stains have rendered the white clothes red, which shows that he has also been punished in the past two days.

"What are you doing? Be honest, or you will be hung up and beaten again." A jailer hurriedly stepped forward and scolded.

"Eunuch Pang! Let's go now!" Xia Qing didn't even take a look at You Shaofeng, and urged Eunuch Pang to leave this place that he hated so much.

This person is useless, and it is not worth his troubles.What's more, the crown prince released him this time, maybe for some purpose, he had to go back and think carefully about the countermeasures.

After Gu Chengyu said goodbye to Eunuch Pang, he watched them walking towards the corner.When he was about to disappear around the corner, Xia Qing looked back at Gu Chengyu.

"Master Gu really has great talent and vision, how inferior this old man is!" Xia Qing didn't wait for Gu Chengyu to reply, and disappeared in a flash.

"If he wants to recruit, he will come and report to the officer." Gu Chengyu didn't take Xia Qing's words to heart, but sat down in the resting place of the jailer, listening to the muffled humming over there, he couldn't help feeling heavy in his heart.

Flesh and blood will naturally hurt.It is not easy to endure until now.

About an hour later, Gu Chengyu looked at the imperial physician who entered with a medicine box, turned around and left the prison.

There was still a pair of stalls waiting for him outside the palace. He turned his feet and thought about it, but he still didn't go to the East Palace.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Ming Mo was already waiting here.

"My lord! That Mr. Jiang really made a movement last night."

"Oh? Who did he go to meet with?" Gu Chengyu turned his head to look at Ming Mo. There should be something wrong with this Jiang Shaohua.

It's just that I don't know if it's a big fish, and this person is not that ordinary person.

"Late yesterday night, he first went back to the mansion, and then went to Master Zhu's mansion." After a pause, Ming Mo told Jiang Shaohua's activities last night.

Gu Chengyu had just climbed into the carriage, before he could sit still, he almost fell on the cushion.

"Which Master Zhu?" He supported the small table and sat down, his heart beating a little faster.

"It's Master Zhu Kuizhu!"

"Zhu Kui?" Gu Chengyu said unconsciously, and then fell silent.

After a while, he said: "Go and check Peng Fang's progress last night first."

"Yes! Lord Peng is waiting for you in that teahouse right now!" Ming Mo knew that the Lord must be a little confused at the moment. He has been with the Lord for many years, how could he not understand the temperament of the Lord?

Now that the adult is getting older, his temper is becoming more and more calm.No matter how sad and flustered he is, he will never show the slightest bit on his face.

That Zhu Kui was the left servant of the Ministry of War and Zhu Pang's biological father.And Zhu Pang is also your best friend.
