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

Chapter 440
"I am the one who saved your life. You are already a dead person in the eyes of the eldest prince. They are looking for you everywhere. If you are not dead, they will not give up. I think you know it in your heart, so don't take chances. Even if You are not afraid of death, so what about your family? Just watch! If you can't find you in a while, the First Prince will send someone to arrest your family and threaten you."

Gu Chengyu felt that he was very unsuitable for interrogation, but Guo Shi was still haggling and hadn't recognized the reality.

Guo Shi was silent, who is not afraid of death?Of course he is afraid of death, he not only wants to live for himself, but also wants to protect his family.

He believed what the masked man said, only after he woke up so quickly did he realize that he was so stupid that he was used by the First Prince and His Excellency.But now, they want to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Since they are not benevolent, don't blame him for being unrighteous.

Guo Shi had a hideous expression on his face, but then he came to his senses. What good would it do for him to identify the First Prince and the others?
At least he is dead, his parents, wife and children are still alive.If he was stabbed to the emperor, his family would suffer the same fate as the Wan clan.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that this was a dead end.

He regrets it now, he didn't expect that not only did he not get promoted, but he would also lose his current black hat, fearing that it might even cost his life.

"What's the benefit of me helping you identify the eldest prince? I will lose my current official position, and maybe my family will be implicated."

After speaking, Guo Shi remained silent.The body that was still curled up in pain just now lay motionless on the ground.

Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, but Guo Shi's mind is clear now.

What Guo Shi said was not bad, Guo Shi took this step, no matter whether he advanced or retreated, it was a dead end.

If the emperor knew the truth, he would not let him go, and even his family would be harmed.

If he helped the eldest prince to conceal it, at most he would die alone, and his family would still be alive.

It is difficult to impress a person who has a will to die.

"Master Guo! Do you think this matter will settle down after you die? Don't forget, what is the purpose of the master behind you? Is he the same purpose as the First Prince? Master Guo is too naive. gone."

Gu Chengyu decided to try harder, he was really reluctant to part with the truth medicine powder.Guo Shi looked determined at the moment, but it was actually easy to conquer.

"Sooner or later, this incident will come to light. I'm afraid that person will not only deal with the third prince, but also the eldest prince. At that time, even if you die, you will die in vain. Your Guo family's fate will be no different from that of the Wanfu. "

Gu Chengyu is not alarmist, the people behind Guo Shi must have big plans, maybe Song Shujing and the eldest prince are also pawns in his hands.

Guo Shi suddenly realized that what the masked man said was true.Sure enough, court battles have always been bloodless.

This all stems from his greed. In order to get promoted, he abandoned his conscience. How could he still think of his original intention of becoming an official in the imperial examination?
Guo Shi figured it out, since the masked man said so, there might be a way to protect his family.

"I can tell you the whole story, and I can also sign the confession. However, I have a condition. If you can do it, it's easy to do; if you can't, I will retract the confession in court, and you can do nothing to me No."

Guo Shi's description at the moment is a bit embarrassing, the official mansion on his body is wrinkled, and his body is still covered with mud, which was stained by rolling on the ground just now.

He looked tired, he didn't know whether it was because of the tossing just now, or because he knew that he was going to die soon.

"If you want me to save the lives of your family members, I can't promise you. You also know that this is a serious crime of copying your family and exterminating your family. You framed the court's officials and the prince. If the emperor knows it, even if you are torn into pieces, you will be killed." Not enough to appease the anger in his heart."

Guo Shi became excited when he heard the words. He just wanted to save the lives of his family. Could it be that the masked man couldn't do anything?
He struggled to sit up and looked at Gu Chengyu angrily.Isn't the purpose of this masked man just to bring down the First Prince?Or maybe they want to save Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing.

"Since you want me to help Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing reverse the case, and you don't want to pay any price, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Gu Chengyu sneered when he heard the words, "Master Guo, don't worry! Although I can't save the lives of your entire family, I can still save one or two heirs."

When Guo Shi heard this, he thought of his youngest son who was just born. The eldest son is already in his twenties, has been married for two years, and has no heirs yet.

But he often travels outside, and almost all the sons of the family know him, so the eldest son cannot be kept.

The third child was born just now, from the concubine's Liu family, not yet full moon, and no one except the mansion recognized him.If you find a replacement, you will definitely survive. You don't want to be rich and powerful, you just need to leave incense for the Guo family safely.

Gu Chengyu heard the dark room being opened, followed by the sound of footsteps. Hearing the breathing and footsteps, it should be Ming Yan.

He hurried to the entrance of the cave, Mingyan didn't cover his face, and Guo had to hand it over to Hu Maoqing, he didn't want to get involved.

The eldest prince is deeply favored by the emperor, even if the emperor knows that the money belongs to the eldest prince, he may not punish the eldest prince unless the eldest prince wants to rebel.

Entering the entrance, I saw Ming Yan as expected.Ming Yan was startled when he saw the mask Gu Chengyu was wearing, and took a closer look, isn't this the mask that the young master bought at the Lantern Festival last time?

Gu Chengyu put his index finger on his mouth, and Ming Yan immediately understood that he wanted to cover his face, but he had already prepared it.

Gu Chengyu lowered his voice, and told him to go back to get a pen and paper, and to write a confession to Guo Shi.

When he returned to the darkroom, Guo Shi glanced at him and made another request.

"I have a letter. You give this letter to my father. He knows what to do. I don't have many children. For the sake of my usefulness, I hope you can help me keep a few more. In addition, give them Find a place far away from the capital, give them some money, and live incognito.”

It was very difficult for Guo Shi to make this decision. He was thinking about the candidate to leave. His eldest son was taught by him personally, but he had to give up, so why would he be willing?
There is also his second daughter, who is only 12 years old this year, and his wife is trying to propose marriage these days.

His parents are old, and his father was an official worshiped by the Minister of the Household Department, and many clansmen were officials in the court.

His Guo family's ancestors were officials and eunuchs, and the glory of the family in the past will be destroyed. He is Guo's sinner!
He regretted it at the beginning, it was because of his obsession.His father once said that he was too eager for quick success and joined the faction too early.

But he sneered, always thinking that the eldest prince was the candidate for the crown prince in the emperor's heart, so he started to act unscrupulously.But he forgot that today's country still belongs to the emperor, not the eldest prince.

The officialdom is changing rapidly, today there are a lot of brocade robes in front of the mansion, and tomorrow there will be few people.

He sighed deeply, suppressed the grief in his heart, and said hoarsely: "Let's write a confession!"
