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

Chapter 590
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt that his previous life was very peaceful, and there was no doubt about it.From this point of view, if there is anything wrong, it should be why they came to the capital, which is very important.

"Tell me in detail about their coming to the capital." Gu Chengyu soaked his body in hot water, feeling very comfortable.

His hair is long, and he usually washes his hair with homemade soap, and then changes the water after washing.

The wooden barrel for bathing is also specially made, and there is a cork underneath, so there is no need to carry the water after taking a bath, which saves a lot of trouble.

"There is something strange about this. They have been in the capital for more than half a month, but their purpose is unknown. If it is really just to find the eldest granddaughter, the younger one thinks it is unlikely. Their family is not good, so the one who boarded the boat I don’t know if I can afford the money. But they came to the capital by boat, and they still have money to stay in the inn.”

Gu Chengyu thought about it in his heart, even though his family was poor, he couldn't just say that he didn't even have money for the boat trip, maybe it was saved over the years.

However, it is farther from Yingnan Mansion to the capital than from Jingyuan Mansion to the capital, and it costs at least ten taels of silver per person.

Children are also counted the same way as adults, seven or eight years old will be charged six or seven taels. Based on this calculation, Gu Changbai and the others will have to spend three to forty taels by boat.

How can a poor farmer have so much savings?Even if there is, you may not be willing to take it out and take the boat.

Besides, if you come out to find the granddaughter who was sold, you don't need to drag your family to the capital. What can you do with the little baby?It will only be a drag.

And it's even more unbelievable to bring the second aunt with her.

"Let's not talk about it. Before they came, a major event happened at home. It is said that the youngest son of the eldest son of the second old man had an emergency, and he left in just one night. He was buried hastily overnight, and even the villager The neighbors were very surprised, they had seen this little baby playing in the village before!"

Gu Chengyu felt very suspicious after hearing what Ming Mo said.What kind of emergency was it that went away so quickly?
"Go ahead!" Gu Chengyu put aside this doubt for the time being, and planned to analyze it later.

"It's true that the magistrate of Yingnan Prefecture caught up with Huazi. It happened on the day Xiaowa had an emergency. The second old man brought his family all the way to the capital to find him the day after Xiaowa had an emergency. Here comes the kiss."

"I had people follow my second uncle before, but did I see them meet someone special?"

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he felt that there were several suspicious things in it.

"My lord! Not yet!" Ming Mo replied respectfully.

Gu Chengyu felt that the water was a bit cold, so he had to get out of the water.While wiping the water droplets on his body, he thought about the weirdness of this incident.

"Has anyone in the neighborhood seen the child's body?"

He suddenly thought of the child who died. Generally, if a child dies young, they must be extremely sad.Not to mention how long the body will be kept, but there is no reason to bury it overnight.

Of course, unless one is infected with an infectious disease, people are eager to be buried.

"Fei Ge's biography didn't describe it in such detail, it just said that the neighbors didn't know about it."

Seeing that Gu Chengyu was wearing a white inner garment and a robe over his shoulders, Ming Mo hurried forward to take the cloth towel and wiped Gu Chengyu's hair.

"In that case, it is very likely that I have never seen it."

Gu Chengyu analyzed in this way, and at the same time connected these doubts together in his mind.

He has to prepare for the next step, and the people in Yingnan Mansion are still waiting for his instructions.

First, the little baby died strangely, saying that he had an emergency, and was buried in the middle of the night, and the neighbors didn't see it.

Since the neighbors were very surprised when they found out, it means that they didn't hear any sound from the second uncle's house, such as crying, the night before.It's impossible not to be sad when the baby in the family is gone, right?
Second, it was a coincidence that the magistrate caught the time of patting Huazi, and it was the same day as Xiaowa's death. Such a coincidence cannot but make people think.

Thirdly, why did Gu Changbai bring his granddaughter and second aunt when he came to the capital to look for his granddaughter?Wouldn't it be better to entrust these two people to the care of the second son?

If the above doubts are connected in series, then the hidden truth can be clarified.

After sending Ming Mo back to rest, he lay on the bed and thought about it over and over again.

The only possibility that can be thought of is that there is someone behind Gu Changbai, and that person is still cautious in doing things, closely linked.

Starting from catching Pai Huazi, this is a game, and the ultimate goal is to give Gu Changbai and the others a legitimate reason to come to the capital.

Then what are you doing in Beijing?Of course it was for him.Among the Gu family, he is the only official in the court.

The other tribesmen are not even merchants, so there is no need to calculate.

It's not that he is self-righteous, since Gu Changbai has come to his door, the goal is obvious.

Gu Chengyu sat up suddenly thinking of this, could the child be tied up by the people behind Gu Changbai?The purpose was to threaten Gu Changbai and the others and make them more obedient.

Otherwise, it can't explain that Gu Changbai and the others came to the capital, but they are still so poor and poor.

In order to get Gu Changbai to approach him, those people didn't give Gu Changbai any money, probably with the idea of ​​living in his house!
Because the first time Gu Changbai came to him, he said he wanted to live in his house.

Gu Chengyu pondered for a while, and felt that he still needed to find out about the matter of patting Hanako.

After all, the timing was too coincidental, and Pai Hanako might be able to find out something.

He got up, put on his clothes, and went to the inner study.Prepare to grind the ink, write the instructions on paper, and ask Mingmo Feige to pass the letter on tomorrow.

Like Gu Chengyu, who has not fallen asleep yet, is Xia Qing, the chief assistant of the dynasty.

As soon as he came back from the palace, he immediately summoned his staff and some trusted officials to discuss the matter in the study.It's just that half a day has passed, and now it's the second quarter of Youzheng, and these people didn't even think of any good way.

"My lord! I think that the emperor doesn't mean what you think!" Staff member Zhang Xiansheng thought for a long time before saying to Xia Qing.

Seeing Xia Qing turn around and look at him, he went on to say: "My lord! At present, there is no one in the court who can compete with you. The emperor still needs your help to stabilize the court, and there may be no one to replace you for the time being." your thoughts."

Now that Lord Xia is powerful and powerful in the court, the emperor has no perfect plan, and it is absolutely impossible to move Lord Xia. This is what they have analyzed before.

Xia Qing also calmed down now. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he should be worrying unnecessarily.Even if the emperor wants to touch him, it's not now.

"Yes! My lord, I think Mr. Zhang is right, so you don't have to worry too much. At present, the most important thing is to solve the issue of border salary first."
