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

Chapter 410
"Chengyu, when are you going back?" Sun Xian asked suddenly.

Gu Chengyu pondered for a while, "I haven't made a plan yet, it may take two days."

"Then I have to go back first, I miss Xiao Baozi." Sun Xian was actually not ashamed to say that, he still missed his wife.

"Brother Ziyuan, who is Little Baozi?" Zhu Pang asked curiously.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled when he thought of Xiao Baozi.

"That's his son, it's fun! Chengyu gave him this nickname, and I think it's very appropriate." Ye Zhiqiu is not married yet, so he likes round little buns very much.

"I see!"

Gu Chengyu remembered that Zhu Pang and Zheng Lun were about the same age, they were both 19 years old this year, but they were not married yet.

Because Zhu Pang didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law to take care of himself, he was always very resistant to talking about marriage.However, last year, regardless of his objection, his father appointed him the eldest daughter of Kong Jin, the Imperial College sacrificial wine.

As for Zheng Lun, the elders in his family wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but his father refused.The second wife of their family wanted to tell Zheng Lun about her niece from her mother's family, which made him very angry.

The natal family of the second wife of the Hou Mansion is also considered prominent, and it is a scholarly family in Yingnan Mansion, a well-known family.It's just that she was talking about the concubine of her family's concubine. Why isn't Zheng Lun's father angry?
This is clearly a humiliation, the fourth master is a concubine, but his son is a concubine.Besides, among the two sons, he valued Zheng Lun the most. How could he tell him to marry a concubine and ruin his future?
This was the most fierce resistance of Zheng Lun's father, insisting that he wait until Zheng Lun was admitted to Jinshi.

Gu Chengyu would know this, because Zheng Lun told him once when he was drunk.There are many right and wrong in a big family, and the concubine is not valued in the family.Because of this, Zheng Lun was repeatedly despised in the Hou Mansion, and he suffered a lot of grievances from childhood to adulthood.

"Brother Sun, let's go back first! If you don't go back, my second sister will come to ask me about my crimes!" Gu Chengyu came back to his senses, and joked to Sun Xian.

Sun Xian didn't refute, just smiled.

Ming Yan stood in the courtyard outside and looked towards the East Wing. Gu Chengyu happened to see it and knew he had something to report.

"You guys are hanging out here, I have something to do, come over later." After finishing speaking, Gu Chengyu stood up and walked towards the door.

Ming Yan silently followed Gu Chengyu back to the main room, and as soon as he entered the room, he reported the information he found to Gu Chengyu.

"Young master! I went out to investigate just now, and there are indeed many hidden guards around our Zhuangzi. I estimate that this area is under the control of the eldest prince."

Gu Chengyu frowned, then he might have to live in Zhuangzi for a few more days.

"Be smart, don't let those hidden guards find out, keep an eye on me for the past two days, those people didn't notice you, right?"

Ming Yan quickly shook her head, "You are very careful, you probably didn't notice it."

Gu Chengyu nodded, he was relieved that Ming Yan was smarter than Ming Mo when it came to inquiring about news.

"Then keep watching and ask Mingmo to keep an eye on Hoi An for me, in case he secretly meets with his companions, and don't let those hidden guards find us."

Hoi An had a brochure in his hand, Gu Chengyu was afraid that Hoi An would not be able to hold back, so he wanted to secretly hand the brochure to his companion and hand it in.Therefore, it is very important to take care of Hoi An.

"The young master is kind, and Hoi An is a big trouble. What he did will not hurt the young master!" Ming Yan became worried. He had heard before that the master of Hoi An was working for the emperor. Won't his son be implicated?
"At that time, there was no good way. You can't just hand over people like this, right? Everyone has been saved, and it's useless to regret it now."

Gu Chengyu shook his head, thinking that he hadn't entered the court yet, but the court battle had opened a big net to him, and it was really hard to guard against.

Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu went back together in the afternoon. Zhu Pang was very single and felt that there was no one to control him in the village, so he didn't see the steward sent by Jian's family to look for him, so he refused to leave.

Deng Lun felt that Gu Chengyu's place was pure, and he didn't want to go back home.So, the two discussed and planned to live in Gu Chengyu's Zhuangzi for two days.It's a beautiful name, stay with him, afraid that he will be lonely.

As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Chengyu was reading a book in the study.

Ming Yan hurried over from outside, "My lord! I found out that the hidden guards around me had changed, so I followed them to the other courtyard. It turned out that there was a lot of movement in the other courtyard, and they were moving things."

"Oh? Did you see something?" Gu Chengyu put down his book and looked at Ming Mo.

"It's a box, a lot of boxes, and some of them have seals on them. The little ones saw them carry them out of the other courtyard with their own eyes. However, the little ones couldn't see clearly what was written on the seals, so they didn't dare to get too close. .Those people don’t know light kungfu, but their martial arts are not bad. Thinking about it, it’s better to be careful.”

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Well done, be careful in everything."

Then, he remembered those boxes, "Are there other things besides the boxes?"

"When I went there, I only saw boxes. However, there were several carriages beside me." Ming Yan thought about it, and then remembered the carriage parked at the door.

Gu Chengyu pondered, this carriage must have carried these boxes and sent them elsewhere.What is it that needs to be shipped out at night?Could it be that there is no light?There is still a seal on the box, and the seal seems to be affixed only when the dart is placed.

Suddenly, Gu Chengyu remembered the Wumen Escort Bureau they found two years ago when they returned to Beijing.At that time, they took the darts, and those darts were some big boxes.Although he didn't see what was in the box at the time, Gu Chengyu guessed that it was mostly silver.

Could the box in the First Prince's Courtyard be escorted by the Wumen Escorts?Didn't Master Han reveal to him at that time that he could be introduced to his master?If his master was the eldest prince, then this matter would make sense.

Is it true that Hoi An went to the other courtyard of the First Prince just to find a brochure?No, maybe it has something to do with the silver.

And two years ago, what Hoi An followed Hu Mao to investigate was the bandit case, so could the money be the dirty money stolen by the bandits?

When he returned to Beijing two years ago, the eldest prince complained of illness, the timing was very coincidental.Could it be to avoid the limelight?Because at that time Hu Maoqing had already found out about him, right?
Gu Chengyu's teeth suddenly turned cold. Those merchants who passed by were all Dayan's people. Could it be that the eldest prince really ordered to kill these innocent people for money?
It's just that these are his speculations, maybe things are not what he thinks at all.He took a deep breath, maybe what the teacher said was right, Dayan was really corrupt inside.

According to what Ming Yan said, the eldest prince must want to transfer that batch of money.Maybe they will all evacuate tonight, after all, the First Prince has announced to return to Beijing on another day.

I just don’t know, if there is really silver in those boxes, what is the silver used for?Could it be.
Gu Chengyu was terrified when he thought about it carefully, but later felt that it was impossible.Since the eldest prince is so favored, he probably wouldn't do this.

He sighed slightly, but he was still not in court, he had received too little news, and there were many clues that could not be connected together.

　Thanks to the bearded grandfather and q sour and soft p for their rewards!
