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

Chapter 443
Hu Maoshen was a little surprised, he didn't know what was in it, so he opened the paper and read it.

He was shocked just after reading the beginning. Is this a confession?It was still Guo Shi's confession, how did Gu Chengyu get the confession?Why did Guo Shi overthrow the previous statement and give such a confession to Gu Chengyu?
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, "Did you catch Guo Shi?"

Gu Chengyu shook his head, "I didn't catch him, I saved him."

Hu Maoshen read these words carefully.It was almost the same as his guess, but Guo Shi would actually explain to Gu Chengyu?

"You tortured him? Otherwise, how could he explain this to you? You said you saved him, who is going to kill him? The eldest prince?" The only person Hu Maoshen thought would silence him was the eldest prince.

He heard that Guo Shi was from Xia Qing, but he never believed it.If it's someone from the First Prince, then it makes sense.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and punched him, shouldn't it be regarded as torture?

"Of course the First Prince wanted to kill him. My people rescued him and hid him. As for the confession, Mr. Hu doesn't care how he got it. How about it? I'm still sincere, right?"

Gu Chengyu has always known that if you are useful, others will help you.Those who can help you regardless of the rewards are the closest people.

Guo Shi put down the confession and glanced at Gu Chengyu.Although he was very moved, this confession alone was not enough.

"You also know that Guo Shi has falsely accused the two adults before. Now that the confession is retracted, do you think the emperor will believe it? Dali Temple will believe it? Unless you can still produce some evidence, otherwise, these efforts are all in vain."

Guo Shi picked up the tea bowl, he would be a fool if he didn't get excited about such a great political achievement.However, is this achievement easy to get?Don't fail to steal fish, but make a fuss.

"Of course I have more than this bit of evidence. This is just a touchstone. Master Hu, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I will present the evidence. There are nothing more than two key figures here, one is the spy of Wanfu, and the other is It's the staff who imitated the handwriting. With these two people, if you follow the clues, you will surely get a lot of criminal evidence."

Gu Chengyu didn't have these two people in his hands, but he didn't feel guilty at all when he said it.He has already sent people to arrest them, even if the first prince hides these two people tightly and digs three feet into the ground, he will still find them out.

"Oh? It seems that Mr. Gu has already made complete preparations, but have you ever thought about it, if Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing were in prison and identified the list of bribes while you were running around outside, I am afraid that I will not be able to show it to you by then. evidence, Dali Temple Minister will present their confession to the emperor."

Hu Maoshen had some admiration for Gu Chengyu, and it was not easy to collect three personal certificates in a short period of time.As far as he knew, Gu Chengyu was just a peasant.

Hu Maoqing continued: "As far as I know, Dali Temple Minister Kuang Zhaoying has already asked for the list of candidates for the general examination, especially the list of candidates for the general examination, and he will not let it go. Although I can't get it yet to the list, but I have received some news that Mr. Gu's ranking in the general examination is among the best."

Hu Maoshen is not in a hurry right now, Gu Chengyu should be in a hurry.Gu Chengyu must still have a backhand in his hands, and it would be great if he could get more useful information.

Gu Chengyu was a little silent, he didn't tell the adults behind Guo Shi, and he didn't say anything in the confession.Even if this matter is written out, it has little to do with this case, but it has something to do with the court dispute, and he doesn't want to give this secret to Hu Maoshen yet.

"I just don't know where the eldest prince's remaining silver is hidden. If we know, it will be very beneficial to the case." Hu Maoshen couldn't help probing Gu Chengyu, maybe Gu Chengyu knew where the silver was hidden.

The last time Hoi An went to the Eldest Prince's other courtyard, he had already startled the snake.Now that other courtyard is empty, there are only some decorations in the other courtyard, the eldest prince occasionally goes to the other courtyard to live for a while.It is very difficult to find the hiding place of the silver.

This Gu Chengyu really doesn't know, he didn't pay attention to the eldest prince's affairs before.If it hadn't been for An Ye's intrusion into the eldest prince's other courtyard, he might not even be able to see the eldest prince's face.

Gu Chengyu shook his head, "I don't know, Mr. Hu, don't just think about picking up the ready-made ones. I still have some things to arrange, and Mr. Hu just says whether to cooperate. If my lord is not sincere, then I can only find someone else. "

Gu Chengyu didn't have time to play bureaucratic talk with him, time was running out, and he had to go back to his house to explain something to Mingmo and the others.

Hu Maoshen also knew that Gu Chengyu was in a hurry, and he was not the only official in the Supervision Institute.If he hadn't had some friendship with Gu Chengyu before, Gu Chengyu would not have approached him.

"I've taken over this matter, but I'm afraid I can't do it this time if I want to bring down the eldest prince. I can only let him take the lead. However, if the two adults in the prison are beaten into tricks, I still have to Make some preparations, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

Hu Maoshen thought about it, 20 taels of silver is a lot.The emperor will definitely be suspicious of the eldest prince, as long as he presents part of the evidence, even if there is no complete list and no money is found, the emperor will believe him somewhat.

Since ancient times, who is not suspicious of emperors?As long as the emperor lets go of his authority, he will be able to show his skills, and he will not be as timid as before when checking.

It's just that the two adults in the prison are used to living a life of gold and jade, and they don't know how long they can last.

Gu Chengyu knew that Hu Maoshen's heart had been moved for a long time, and he would not let go of this opportunity, but he just wanted to get some news from him!

"If that's the case, please leave it to Mr. Hu. As for those two adults, Mr. Hu doesn't have to worry, I have my own way."

Gu Chengyu had already thought about it, the two of them would definitely deny such a serious crime, even if tortured, it would last for two days.He will visit Dali Temple at night tonight, and explain the stakes in it, and the two of them can persist for two or three days.

Two or three days are enough, and now as long as those two people are caught, it is not difficult to come up with a confession.

The people in Dali Temple probably won't catch the candidates today, maybe they will have to wait a day or two before losing their patience.Moreover, the candidates for the examination must be approved by the emperor. This is the emperor's disciple.As long as you pass the palace examination, you can be awarded an official.

The emperor will not agree to Kuang Zhaoying acting recklessly, the most precious thing he has now is time.

After negotiating with Hu Maoshen and agreeing to deliver the witness card within the day, Gu Chengyu hurried to Xiyan's courtyard.

"Thank you for today's matter, girl!" Gu Chengyu sat at the table, listening to Xiyan play the piano.

"My lord, you don't need to say thank you, just a few trivial things. I heard that there will be fraud in the trial, but will it implicate you, lord?"

Xiyan observed Gu Chengyu's expression, and saw that he was very calm, and wondered if he had thought of a countermeasure.

Xi Yan often comes into contact with officials and has a wide range of vision. She is worried that Gu Chengyu will also be implicated. After all, Gu Chengyu is the leader of the provincial examination, and his grades in the examination should not be bad.
