Chapter 220
Just as she was talking, the door curtain moved, Ling Zhen approached and said with a smile: "Our girl is worried, but no, she sent me to take a look."

Shen Jiangdong smiled and said, "I was talking about you going back yesterday, and your girl got angry." After speaking, he asked Gu Heng, "Liang Fen, what did Xu tell you? Why did you believe his nonsense? ?”

Gu Heng's body was paralyzed, only his head could move, so Shen Jiangdong looked at Fu Linchuan.Ling Zhen and Wu Zhenying also looked at Fu Linchuan. Gu Heng seemed to have calmed down a bit, and said in a hoarse voice: "He said that my father and Yu Yun are the same, and that he wrote an article before the Yu case to honor Mr. My father committed suicide in fear of crime. The Xie family concealed and falsified the date of my father's death, claiming that my father had long since passed away and was not the author of the article. The Xie family evaded this. He said he had evidence and asked me to take the blame for him—that we Through the middleman's account, he knows nothing about it."

Yan Mowei bowed her head when she heard the words, Lingzhen understood the last sentence first, "What do you mean you take the blame for him? Do you know if you really take the scapegoat for him, what kind of crime would it be, and will it harm your family?"

"So only I die..." Gu Heng said.

Wu Zhenying obviously couldn't understand, so he also looked at Fu Linchuan who was on the side. Fu Linchuan opened his mouth as if to say a vulgar word, then swallowed it, and said calmly: "He is just threatening you, there is no evidence for it."

Shen Jiangdong looked left and right, "What the hell... is this all about?"

Fu Linchuan lowered his head, as if he had made great determination, "Maybe I really shouldn't hide it, Liang Fen, your father never did this, never. Before the case of Yu Yunhe, there were some bad rumors in Jiangnan , implicated many scholars. When the case happened, your father was targeted by the government because someone had the same name and surname as your father, or the name had a similar pronunciation. The family will be affected, so..."

He suddenly couldn't continue when he said this, but Lingzhen, Wu Zhenying and Shen Jiangdong all looked at him, Fu Linchuan gritted his teeth and said: "So the Xie family forced your father to death, and lied that your father had died of illness, so it is impossible to write this arts."

Gu Heng's face was horrified when he heard the words, and he suddenly coughed loudly, with tears streaming down his face, and seemed to lose his voice again.

Yan Mowei held his hand tightly, and Fu Linchuan comforted him: "Maybe it's really my fault, I shouldn't hide it from you, but I don't think you should live because of hatred, Xie's parents died of a sudden illness later, this It's also retribution. At that time, only Sifang in Xie's family spoke for your father. After all, they were outnumbered, so Sifang cut off contact with Xie's family. But Liang Fen, I never thought that you would commit suicide because of this. Let me tell you, It is absolutely impossible for Xu Wenchang to have any evidence in his hands, because your father has never been involved in this case and has never written any essays."

Ling Zhen was extremely shocked when she heard this, Shen Jiangdong also found it inconceivable when she thought about it, but Gu Heng turned his face to the inside, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Lingzhen knew that she couldn't let Gu Heng think about it at this moment, so she said: "So Mr. Gu, if you have something to say, you have to say it. If you don't tell our girl, you should tell the two gentlemen. If you say it, Then Mr. Fu knows that Xu Si Nong is just biting, and you still have to pay for your life?"

Gu Heng asked angrily, "How is Miss Lin?"

Yan Mowei trembled, but no one answered.

The sun rose and reflected on the remaining snow on the roof tiles, and the snow melted in an instant.

Everyone calmly comforted Gu Heng, but in the end it was powerless comfort.Lingzhen and Shen Jiangdong frequently looked at Yan Mowei, obviously worried whether Xu Wenchang had noticed Yan Mowei's background.Why didn't Yan Mowei check?It's just that in front of Wu Zhenying and others, it's hard to speak directly.As the end of the year approaches, Ling Zhen can't stay for a long time, and after knowing that everyone is not in a hurry to return to Tonghe, she intends to leave Wu Zhai.

Wu Zhenying was still thinking about Zheng Yiqin, and said: "So what does this matter have to do with Zheng Yiqin?"

Fu Linchuan looked back at him, as if he was blaming him for not asking in front of Lingzhen, but Lingzhen, Wu Zhenying and Shen Jiangdong were all ignorant of the matter, Lingzhen said: "Our girls are also curious, and think that Mr. Lin Shiyi Not the kind of person who would cut off old friends easily, what is the reason for Lin and Zheng to stop seeing each other?"

Fu Linchuan saw that there was no way to avoid it, so he said: "Zheng Yiqin was in a high position at the time, even if he was unwilling to help, no one would blame him. But he just doesn't care. He shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't give advice for the Xie family. Anyway, Brother Xie lived in seclusion after his wife's death, so outsiders don't know that there is such a person, and then let the Xie family force brothers of the same clan to death."

Ling Zhen probed, "You mean that Zheng Yiqin not only stood by and watched, but Zheng Yiqin suggested to Xie's family that Xie's family forced Mr. Gu's father to change the date of death to avoid this matter?"

Fu Linchuan nodded.

Lingzhen went back to Nannei and relayed Fu Linchuan's words to Siqing and Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi had a bad opinion of Zheng Yiqin earlier, but now he looked at Siqing, with the meaning of "I'm right".Siqing ignored it, thinking that if you hadn't recruited Zheng Yiqin to come to the imperial capital, he would not have committed assassination.

Siqing was full of thoughts, thinking that there are relatives who are more vicious than the Ye family in the world, and they can survive on the blood of their relatives.But Fu Linchuan has no relationship with Xie's family, but he single-handedly brought up Gu Heng and concealed the truth for Xie's family. He didn't want Gu Heng to live in hatred since childhood, just like Fu Linchuan never told her that she was abandoned in the wilderness. As an orphan, Fu Linchuan always told her that "parents have their own difficulties".And what is Ye Xiufeng's difficulty?If she was just abandoned, she would not be so resentful towards the Ye family.

Si Qing couldn't help but sighed.In any case, Fu Linchuan did his best for the son and daughter he had adopted. He didn't tell Gu Heng the past, intending to think for him, but unintentionally prompted Xu Wenchang to successfully threaten Gu Heng.

The next day when Shen Jiangdong arrived at the Wuzhai, only Uncle Lu and Gu Heng were there, because he was afraid of walking around too often and causing suspicion from others, Lin Zhizhong, his wife and others stayed at Xie's house and did not come to the Wuzhai.This day Gu Heng got better, Wu and Fu then went to the residence of Lin Zhizhong and his wife to inform him.

Just as Lu Shu was about to speak, Wu Zhenying, Fu Linchuan, Lin Zhizhong and his wife came back together. Xie Yan heard that Gu Heng woke up and did not go to work, so he asked for leave to see him.Everyone entered the inner room, although Mrs. Lin was haggard, she still said first: "It's pretty good, what can't you worry about. Once you let go, what will your wife do?"

Lin Zhizhong said: "It's so dangerous this time, luckily it's okay. Liang Fen is the same, if you don't say anything, make up your own mind."

Wu Zhenying said: "He has to regret it, he still took poison. Your sister is right, you just lost your head and thought of taking poison."

Xie Yan worried: "Did he, Xu Zhihe, say something to you?"

Shen Jiangdong glanced at Lin Zhizhong and his wife, fearing that the mention of the Xu family and Lin Bofu would make him sad, so he said: "You are looking for death, you are really dead, leaving this orphan and widow, harming the family forever. Also, The queen has to chop Xu Wenchang with a knife."

Everyone was chattering, and Gu Heng didn't know who to answer for a while, "I... who shall I answer first?"

Wu Zhenying also pushed Fu Linchuan, "Why don't you speak?"

Fu Linchuan, who had been silent all this time, choked out a sentence, "You are the only one who will fight to the death!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, Yan Mowei said: "That's exactly what Uncle said!"

Everyone's conversation diluted the sad and sad atmosphere just now, and Shen Jiangdong also deliberately changed the subject and said: "You and Lao Cheng are old acquaintances, and Lao Cheng didn't offend you, right? It would be too unkind of you to do this. I really lost my life in his realm, how do you ask him to explain to the queen? Also, you really have to thank him, if he didn't make a quick decision to force the poison out of you that day, you might really die. If you die Now, what about your wife alone? Then Lao Cheng still has a daughter to raise, if you lose your life, it’s not like trying to trap him to death. "

Gu Heng explained: "I really don't know where I was imprisoned. The prison of the Jinwu Guard seems to be the same as other places." He thought for a while and asked, "How did you find out..."

Shen Jiangdong looked at Xie Yan, "I don't know about this, I only found out when Mr. Xie came to the door."

Xie Yan sighed, and Mrs. Lin said: "At first, it was the clerks in your pharmacy who found out that something was wrong. They saw you returning to the imperial capital, but they didn't know where you went. Even Mr. Lu didn't know about your return to the capital. Inquiring about you seems to have been arrested... During those few days, people were being arrested everywhere in Beijing, people were in panic, and Mr. Lu was ill, so your buddy called Xie's family."

Xie Yan interjected: "I inquired around, because too many people were arrested, and the prisons were scattered. Later, I went all the way to the Jinwu Guard. I thought I would never see you, but who knew I met Duke Jia."

Shen Jiangdong smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to have an accident. I thought that you would at least tell your uncle if you had any difficulties, but who knew that you would even hide it from your uncle. Mr. Xie said that you were arrested, and I was shocked. I didn't think so. It was a misunderstanding. When Lao Cheng searched the file, your name was not there. Who knew that the transcriber wrote your last name wrong! Just to be on the safe side, we wanted to take a look. So Lao Cheng asked someone to clear the place first, and then we I went to look for you, who knew that for a short while there was no one around, you committed suicide. We went in, and you were already unconscious. Tell me, what do you think, and you want to take poison!"

Gu Heng was still immersed in the thoughts just now, and explained slowly: "I was only afraid... I was afraid that Xu Wenchang would harm his family..."

Shen Jiangdong asked: "So? That's why you were arrested because of your will to die? Then you might as well think about it, what will your wife think in the future if you make your own way? If you really die, how do you think the queen will react? ?”

Gu Heng didn't mention anything else, just said: "At that time, I was on the edge of a horn, no matter how I thought about it, it was a dead end... I wanted to hang myself, and there was no beam in the prison; thinking about hitting the wall, the movement was too loud, so I might not be able to die. I had no choice but to take the poison. It was so easy for no one to stare at me for a moment, I don’t know the situation outside, so it’s just..."

Lin Zhizhong said quietly: "So, Liang asked you to commit suicide because he, Xu Wenchang, threatened you?"

Gu Heng said: "Yes. The fourth brother didn't go to Xu Wenchang after knowing what happened to me, but he saved my life."

Shen Jiangdong said with a smile: "Your buddies know that you are not on good terms with him, but who doesn't know about him. One thing, I'm curious, is there any relationship between his surname Xu and Xiao Xu of Kang Wang's mansion?" contacts."

"Honestly, I don't think so," Gu Heng said, "Aside from making money, he has no guts, most likely he was just being used."

Shen Jiangdong said: "You repay your grievance with virtue."

Lin Zhizhong and his wife didn't speak, Xie Yan said: "As long as you're fine, as long as you're fine. We've been unconscious for such a long time, we're all afraid that you won't wake up."

Wu Zhenying disliked this bad luck, so he asked again: "Does the surname Xu know about your sister? Did you threaten you with this?"

Gu Heng took a peek at Yan Mowei and sensed a flaw, "He doesn't know, but Uncle, I'm really afraid that he will find out something."

Shen Jiangdong also realized that Gu Heng was trying his best to avoid Yan Mowei's background, so he came to smooth things over and said, "The empress is not afraid, what are you afraid of? If the empress is really worried about this, then you and Mr. Fu have to disappear from the world in order to be let go." Don't worry, the queen, don't you think so?"

It was Xie Yan who was most terrified at the moment. He suddenly knew so many secret things, and he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while.After Gu Heng said so many words in one breath, his complexion became extremely ugly again.Because Xie Yan had to be on duty, he left first, and Lin Zhizhong and his wife also left.

Gu Heng and Fu Linchuan didn't speak. After a long time, Gu Heng asked, "Why do Brother Lin and his wife look so ugly?"

Wu Zhenying said: "Your complexion is ugly." After speaking, he finally sighed, "Miss Lin has an accident."

Gu Heng was startled, Wu Zhenying sighed: "It's really a crime."

Gu Heng was puzzled, and Yan Mo said: "Because Miss Lin refused to reconcile with Xu's family, after the incident happened in Xu's family, she committed suicide. Without your good luck, people are gone."

Gu Heng was shocked, and Fu Linchuan took the opportunity to say: "The living should live well, Liang Fen, the past is all over, isn't it?"

Shen Jiangdong knew that once the topic returned to Gu Heng's biological father, Gu Heng would find it difficult to extricate himself, so he turned to Fu Linchuan and said, "Mr. Fu, did the queen still want to kill Tang Peng that night?"

Fu Linchuan said: "She hasn't made up her mind."

Shen Jiangdong sighed, but Fu Linchuan didn't ask why.Instead, Wu Zhenying remembered something, "That day Siqing said...Meng Guangshi? Who is this person?"

Shen Jiangdong's complexion changed drastically, and he stood up, "Why does Uncle ask this?"

Wu Zhenying said: "It seems that this person really has something to do... Let me tell you something, before Xu Wenchang was arrested, I sneaked into his mansion, trying to mislead him. In his study, I accidentally saw him writing When he was investigating Meng Guang. That night after many guards rushed in, Siqing mentioned this name, which I think is a bit wrong."

"Xu Wenchang is investigating Meng Guangshi?!" Shen Jiangdong's facial features were a little distorted, "He actually..." He looked at Yan Mowei anxiously. Although Yan Mowei knew the details of Meng Guangshi, he didn't know who Meng Guangshi was. When investigating the cause of Empress Xianhe's death, she was accused of conspiracy and died of treason. Seeing that Shen Jiangdong was terrified, she felt baffled.
