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

Chapter 442 Returning to Tianxiang Pavilion

Hu Maoshen sat in the carriage, and entered through the back door of Tianxiang Pavilion in a secretive manner.

He was very surprised that Gu Chengyu came to him, he had some fate with Gu Chengyu, they only saved Hui'an last time, but the two never met.

He thought of what happened in the court today, and he understood why Gu Chengyu wanted him.

What a pity for Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing, especially the criminal evidence found in Wanfu, he naturally knew that it was the eldest prince who framed him, but he had no evidence!
He investigated the eldest prince for two years, but he didn't catch the eldest prince's handle.The last time Hoi An acted privately and risked being caught, the brochures he got back turned out to be fake.It caused them to rush around for several months for this fake list.

Gu Chengyu hurriedly took the carriage and went to Tianxiang Pavilion.He enters through the gate openly, and will find his flower mother grinning from ear to ear.

This is another son who is fascinated by her family's Xi Yan, especially the son who is not short of money.

"Ouch! Young Master Gu, what brought you here today? I haven't seen you for quite a while."

Mother Hua was still shaking her round fan, twisting her thick waist, and walked quickly towards Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu twitched the corners of his mouth. He just came here a few days ago and was slaughtered for more than 600 taels of silver.This mother Hua is really forgetful, and she even said that he came here often.

"The last time I heard Miss Xiyan's piano sound, after I went back, I just felt like I didn't think about eating and drinking. Today I want to come to discuss with the girl, I wonder if Miss Xiyan is here?"

When Mother Hua heard it, she pretended to be embarrassed and said: "This? You also know that Miss Xiyan usually doesn't see visitors."

Before Gu Chengyu could wait for Mama Hua to finish speaking, she hurriedly took out 100 taels of silver from her bosom, and stuffed it into Mama Hua's hand.

When Mama Hua saw the banknote, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyes.

Gu Chengyu seized the opportunity and said: "Mama Hua, please be flexible, I only delay Miss Xiyan for an hour, and leave after listening to the piano!"

Of course, Mother Hua would not let go of the money she got, and said quickly: "Look at what Young Master Gu said, if Miss Xiyan sees Young Master Gu coming, she will be so happy! She often tells me, Young Master Gu, you are her My bosom friend!"

Mama Hua did not lie when she said this. After Gu Chengyu left last time, Gui Nu told Mama Hua about Xiyan's affection for Gu Chengyu.

Mother Hua went to warn Xiyan, but Xiyan only said that it was hard to find a bosom friend, she had no other intentions, it was just a feeling of sympathy!
Mother Hua called a tortoise slave, and said a few words in the tortoise slave's ear, and then smiled and asked him to take Gu Chengyu to Xiyan's yard.

Gu Chengyu doesn't even need to guess, it's just to keep an eye on them, don't let Gu Chengyu do anything excessive!

Gu Chengyu followed Guinu into Xiyan's small courtyard, and Xiyan was standing in front of the main house to greet her.Seeing Gu Chengyu coming, he hurried up to greet him.

"Xiyan from my family has met Mr. Gu!" Xiyan made a face towards Gu Chengyu, and glanced at the turtle slave standing beside him.

Although Hu Maoqing has never been to this courtyard, it is not difficult to come in without revealing his identity.This back door is for receiving these court officials, otherwise the officials swaggered through the front door, wouldn't they give the officials a handle?

It is nonsense to say that there are no women in the official family.Some officials are fine with this, and in the backyard, there are several courtyards dedicated to receiving these court officials.

Xiyan sent Gui Nu to wait elsewhere, but Gu Nu refused, so Gu Chengyu took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it.And promise to just play the piano and not do excessive actions.

When Gui Nu sees Yin Zi, of course he doesn't care so much, as long as Xi Yan is still perfect, it doesn't matter if he is not around.A woman's perfect body has Shougongsha, once the body is broken, Shougongsha is gone.

Seeing the turtle slave walking away, he sat down in a pavilion a little far from the yard, Gu Chengyu hurriedly thanked Xi Yan.

"This time, I would like to thank you, girl! If it is useful in the future, I will define it next time!"

Gu Chengyu was sincerely grateful. After all, they had only met once, so it was reasonable to refuse to help him.

"My lord, you are welcome, there is only one hour, so you should go!"

Xiyan urged Gu Chengyu, she also heard about the case of imperial examination fraud, Gu Chengyu was so secretive when meeting people, maybe it was related to this matter.

In a matter of life and death, she just did a small favor, which is not worth mentioning.

Gu Chengyu nodded and walked towards a courtyard behind.

As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the courtyard, he saw Hoi An.Hui An nodded towards Gu Chengyu, and took him to the main room.

"My lord! Mr. Gu is here!"

"Lord Hu! Stay safe and sound!" Gu Chengyu entered the main room and saw Hu Maoshen in ordinary clothes.Hu Maoshen's clothes had changed a bit from last time, and looked extremely luxurious.

"Mr. Gu, it's been a long time since we last saw each other on the boat. At that time, Mr. Gu already guessed that I am the official of the imperial court, right?"

Hu Maoshen admires Gu Chengyu very much, he is both civil and military, cautious and calculating, very suitable for officialdom.

"Master Hu! I have asked Mr. Hu to meet here today. I must have guessed the purpose of my visit." Gu Chengyu didn't come here to catch up with him, and talked directly to the point.

Hu Maoshen still had a faint smile on his face. Last time, he felt that Gu Chengyu was very calm, but he didn't expect that this time, even Gu Chengyu was not exempt when his family and life were involved. Isn't it urgent?
"Mr. Gu! Since you are so forthright, then I know that I don't speak in secret. This time, I have nothing to do with the imperial examination fraud case. You may not know that after the court, the third prince and Lord Wan were impeached." , Mr. Song's notebooks are already piled up on the emperor's table. The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and no one dares to stroke the tiger's beard on the cusp of this storm."

Hu Maoshen knew that Gu Chengyu had saved Hoi An before, and felt sorry for such a talent as Gu Chengyu.

But he is really helpless, this time the imperial examination fraud case is over, even if he is dumped by the eldest prince, then he can only be dumb as Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering.

The eldest prince planted the bandit case to the third prince's lineage, and he himself was completely at ease.He investigated for two years, but he didn't give credit for it, and he still had to suffer with the emperor, but the eldest prince was still unscathed.

He is not reconciled, but so what?The eldest prince is a prince after all, he doesn't have conclusive evidence, so he dare not confess to the emperor.If he was charged with slandering the prince, it would be considered light to lose his hat.

A smile curled up on Gu Chengyu's lips, "Others don't dare, but you, Mr. Hu, dare! I invite Mr. Hu to come out, not to seek Mr. Hu's life-saving grace, but to negotiate a deal."

Hu Maoshen was a little embarrassed. Judging from the time on the boat, he and Hoi An's lives were saved.However, he was a little curious about what kind of deal Gu Chengyu could negotiate with him.

"Oh? Young Master Gu, come and listen to me!"

Gu Chengyu took out a confession from his arms and placed it in front of Hu Maoshen.

"Please take a look, my lord!"
