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

Chapter 217 It's Dead Again
Looking at this scene, it seems that something bad has happened.Although Gu Chengyu is still young, he is a foreigner after all, and if that girl was bumped into by him, he might be really ashamed and angry to death!

The boy asked Gu Chengyu to carry it all the way down, and was a little out of breath, "Cough! Cough! Mr. Gu, the little one was almost strangled to death by Mr. Gu!"

Gu Chengyu smiled awkwardly, "Follow the matter urgently! Brother, take care of me!" Because he was in a hurry, he ran over with the servant's collar.

After the little fellow caught his breath, he asked, "Why is Mr. Gu walking so fast with the little one? Maybe some sister was wronged and came here to cry! However, Mr. Gu is really strong." Ah! You can run so fast with a small one!"

The servant will think about it, and then he thinks that it should be the girl who is serving the master, who has suffered some grievances, and then came here to cry, after all, there is almost no one here at night!
Gu Chengyu didn't say the reason, but only urged the little servant to lead him to another road!

When Gu Chengyu and the others returned to the flower hall, the banquet was coming to an end. Ye Zhiqiu complained why Gu Chengyu had been gone for so long. He was still young, could not drink alcohol, and was not good at speaking, so it would be boring to just sit like this!

"I feel sick to my stomach, I came late, don't worry! It will be over soon!" Gu Chengyu saw that everyone was almost drunk, and everyone didn't know each other very well, so he probably wouldn't go back until he was drunk!He glanced at Wang Tongzhi who was sitting at the head of Jiang Zhifu. He didn't find a chance tonight. It seems that he will visit tomorrow in person!

"Master!" Yu Guanshi hurried in from outside the flower hall, bowed his head and said something in Jiang Zhifu's ear, Jiang Zhifu frowned, and then stood up.

"Everyone! There are still some things in the mansion, let's talk about it another day! Steward Yu, you send them out!" Jiang Zhifu hurriedly left after finishing speaking.

"Young masters! Please follow me!"

Gu Chengyu looked thoughtfully at the place where Jiang Zhifu left in a hurry, what could be so anxious?He suddenly thought of the girl he met just now, could it be related to her?But can such a girl alarm Jiang Zhifu?This is a matter of the inner house, and the wife in charge is in charge, so why is Prefect Jiang so anxious?
Anyway, this has nothing to do with Gu Chengyu, he followed the candidates in front and walked out of the flower hall.However, when they walked outside the flower hall, they found that there were many people around the small lake on the right. They were holding lanterns. If you can't catch it, let the people on the shore go down to find it!
Such a big movement, even if Gu Chengyu and the others stayed in the flower hall, they could still hear it, no wonder Jiang Zhifu immediately arranged for someone to send them away!
Gu Chengyu's heart skipped a beat, he thought of that girl, wouldn't that girl throw herself into the lake?I hope it is not what he thinks, if it is true, then he will commit a crime, he just wanted to avoid right and wrong, but he did not expect that the ancient woman Zhenlie, maybe she was insulted and really committed suicide by jumping into the lake!
Gu Chengyu was a little dazed, and looked there a few times, but the people by the lake shouted, making him think that the woman probably jumped into the lake!
Gu Chengyu felt a little uncomfortable. The woman was a little pitiful. In fact, even if he saved her, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but it was a life!
"Huh? I don't know what happened there?" Ye Zhiqiu whispered in Gu Chengyu's ear.

All of a sudden, someone shouted, "I got it! I got it!"

The lake is not far from here, and there is enough light there, everyone looked over there one after another, and it turned out that it was a person who was fished up?
Immediately, the examinees in front all started whispering, "How could this be dead?"

"Shhh! Don't talk nonsense, the big family has a lot of right and wrong!"

Steward Yu in the front felt that it was not good for everyone to see this scene, so he hurriedly quickened his pace, wanting to send the candidates out quickly.

Which big family doesn't kill a subordinate?There are not a few servants of officials and eunuchs who have been betrayed and beaten to death. It is not a problem for the steward to kill a servant. However, the person who died this time is a bit special, so I called the master to go over. The most important thing is Yes, that girl died in the outer courtyard!
"Ma'am!" Steward Yu was leading the way, but suddenly saw Mrs. Yu rushing over from the inner courtyard.The inner courtyard has already been locked, because the person died in the outer courtyard, so I first notified the master of the matter, and then unlocked the inner courtyard of Tong Zhi, unexpectedly I ran into it.

Mrs. Yu is an elder, and when meeting these juniors, there are so many people, it is impossible to spread any rumors, but Manager Yu felt a little embarrassed, he glanced at Gu Chengyu who was standing behind the crowd, and stood forward, It happened to cover Gu Chengyu's figure.

"Students have met the magistrate's wife!" Since the candidates met, they had no choice but to salute.

"It turns out that the master hosted a banquet for the students, so there is no need to be polite. I have something at home today, and I have neglected everyone. I hope you will forgive me! As for the affairs in the house, please don't make random guesses!"

Gu Chengyu just took a quick glance at Yu Shi. Yu Shi looks a bit dignified, but he speaks with a haughty expression. To be able to say such words, he must not have taken these students seriously.

In the Dayan Dynasty, the servants who signed the deed of selling their lives followed the master's family whether they lived or died. If they met a good master and worked well, they would naturally survive. If they met a cruel one, they could only be counted as themselves Unlucky, but these are all in private, and on the surface they have found the wrong place to sell.

For things like just now, it can be said that the girl didn't do her job well, and she jumped into the lake because she couldn't think about it. Even if the censor wants to participate in their book, there is no evidence, isn't it?At most, it can be labeled as a lax house and not a family of good deeds.

"Steward Yu! Send them out!" Mrs. Yu waved her hand while pinching her handkerchief. A group of students who are not even a scholar, the master still wants to entertain guests?

"Yes! Ma'am!" Steward Yu stood there, thinking that Shi was gone, and then turned around. If Yu Shi saw Gu Chengyu, it would be a catastrophe.

When Steward Yu thought of such a situation, he felt a headache. When his wife was in her mother's house, she was raised very arrogantly by the family. Marrying the master is also considered a second marriage. This happened many years ago. The wife had been in trouble for a long time, even the master I don't care about my future.

But the master is a man of success, so what if he is Yu's companion?The head of the family is always the master!Naturally, he could only listen to the master.

But Mrs. Yu didn't move. Who is patient to watch dead people this late at night?It would be better if such a girl died!

Seeing that Yu Shi didn't seem to plan to go to the lake, Guanshi Yu was miserable, so he could only call the students to go out, while blocking Gu Chengyu with his body as much as possible.

Yu suddenly remembered that the person in charge of the case this time was an eight-year-old child prodigy, and she wanted to meet him.

"Wait! I heard that the head of the case this time is an eight-year-old kid, but who is it?" Yu's line of sight was blocked by Manager Yu, so he asked.
