Chapter 46 The Right and the Wrong

"What did I do?" Gu Liangfen said angrily, "Tell me clearly, what exactly did I do, to labor you to condescend to come here angrily holding a dagger, asking me to hold you hostage?"

Siqing put away her dagger and looked sideways at Gu Liangfen, and said flatly, "Since you didn't do it, then it's fine. I thought you'd come up with another good idea today just because of a flash of light in your head." .”

Gu Liangfen said: "You are simply incomprehensible!"

Wu Zhenying hurriedly persuaded: "If you have anything to say, come in and say it."

Brothers and sisters Wu Zhenying and Gu Liangfen entered the house, and Gu Liangfen asked, "What's the matter? I have to ask clearly, otherwise what will you do if you label me indiscriminately later?"

Siqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you didn't do it, it's better not to know."

Gu Liangfen said lightly: "I know you have an idea about Uncle Fu, but I oppose your approach."

"You know?" Si Qing asked, "Du Sizhong and Xu Wenchang told you in a hurry?"

Gu Liangfen suddenly stood up, "Will you speak human language well today?"

Wu Zhenying hurriedly smoothed things over, "You two should be quiet, why are you arguing when you meet?"

"She was holding a dagger as soon as she entered the door..."

"From the time I entered the door to the present, how many times have you talked about me holding the dagger? Do you want to break it all over again?"

"Can you be reasonable? Don't you know what you have done since yesterday?"

"I know what I did. If you are so irritable today because of what happened last night, do you mean that I have to apologize to you first?"

"Yes! That's what I mean! Uncle Fu's matter is not yours alone. Why are you so arbitrary and don't listen to dissuasion!"

"Okay, okay," Wu Zhenying stopped the two of them from arguing, "I said that you two brothers and sisters, when you were young, you just liked to argue, but now that you're both married and established businesses, why are you still the same as when you were young? Forget about it."

Siqing said: "Uncle Wu, no matter what, Uncle Fu's matter is our brother's and sister's matter, and you should not be implicated. I really had no other way before, and I came to you because I wanted to be prepared. But now I... ..."

"But you still have nothing to do now," Gu Liangfen interrupted, "Your way of cutting off the wrists of a strong man is no way at all."

"My solution is not a solution, the solution is to go to Mr. Xu Wenchang?" Siqing raised her eyebrows.

Gu Liangfen said helplessly: "It was he who came to look for me! I didn't look for him! I'm not stupid. Xu Wenchang opened his mouth and wanted to make a big fuss, but you and Duan Wang have already made a big fuss about this matter. If you make a big fuss again It can’t be settled, of course I won’t listen to Xu’s nonsense.”

Siqing asked, "How much do you think he knows about Uncle Fu?"

Gu Liangfen said: "I'm not sure how much he knows, but it's definitely not much, and there is no evidence."

"What about Yao Yuantu, governor of Zhejiang?" Siqing asked suddenly.

Gu Liangfen's complexion changed, "Yao Yuantu must have helped Uncle Fu a lot about what happened back then, so he naturally knows a lot about it."

Siqing suddenly took out a booklet from her sleeve and threw it to Gu Liangfen.Gu Liangfen asked again: "What is this?"

Siqing said, "Yao Yuantu's memorial."

"Why are you here?"

"Before entering the cabinet, I was detained by someone."

Gu Liangfen couldn't help but sneered, "Do you know, Xu Wenchang said that you're a high-ranking person who doesn't care about politics'—" Gu Liangfen raised his booklet and shook it, "Sure enough, you don't care about politics, you are really amazing."

Si Qing didn't care and said: "Brother, I can live well to this day, you don't feel lucky for me, but you manage so leniently?"

Gu Liangfen said: "Since this matter should not be a big deal, and Yao Yuantu is a high-ranking official, why did he still make a statement?"

Si Qing said: "He doesn't approve of killing people directly, nor does he agree with releasing people lightly."

Gu Liangfen took a rough look at the booklet, then handed it to Wu Zhenying and said, "Those who want to come to court to oppose the release of people are mostly the same as Yao Yuantu. They are worried that if these people are released, there will be spies from Dingfan hidden in them. According to me, since it is not good What's wrong with releasing people and quietly rescuing Uncle Fu?"

Si Qing said: "Yao Yuantu is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, how could he know that the matter should not be a big deal? He wrote this book, besides the love of old friends, there should be other reasons."

Gu Liangfen murmured: "I heard that he was a student of the He family back then, and the He family had a quarrel with King Duan. King Duan did not agree to release him, so Yao Yuantu came out to fight against King Duan?"

Si Qing said: "That's right. But there is another layer to it. After He Shizhi became seriously ill and became an official, King Duan recommended his cousin He Shouzhi to be the post of Liang Dao in Jiangxi. Not long after that, Shen Yuanxi——Jia Guogong was in Hunan. Something happened to Gan."

Wu Zhenying read the excerpt and returned it to Siqing, sighing softly: "Xuan Bin once suspected that there was something wrong with He Shouzhi, but I heard that nothing was found out."

Siqing nodded and said, "He is a shrewd man."

"Wait a minute," Gu Liangfen said softly, "Whether Prince Duan and the He family are on good terms or not?"

"That's the problem, I can't figure it out at this point," Siqing said, "And Yao Yuantu is also involved, and he knows about Uncle Fu's past, maybe he has evidence in his hand."

"so what?"

"That's why I don't know the situation between King Duan and the He family. Yao Yuan's sketch may be to fight against King Duan, or to test and cover up the relationship between King Duan and the He family."

Gu Liangfen thought for a while and said: "So you doubt Yao Yuantu's character, and worry that he doesn't care about Uncle Fu's life or death, but is just testing the situation in the imperial capital. If Uncle Fu is rescued rashly, Yao Yuantu may make trouble and kill Uncle Fu?"

"That's right," Siqing nodded, "Do you think Yao Yuantu has any character in matters related to his official career?"

"You can't just look down on him just because he is a student of the He family, after all..."

"I know, after all, he helped Uncle Fu back then. If he doesn't hurt Uncle Fu in the future, I won't trouble him either. But now, we don't know what Yao Yuantu thinks, we can't risk Uncle Fu's life."

Wu Zhenying thought for a while and said, "I think what Siqing said makes sense. Neither Liang Fen nor I thought that this matter is so deeply involved."

"Switch out Uncle Fu quietly, and then prevent Yao Yuantu from seeing Uncle Fu again. Wouldn't that be the end of it? How else can Yao Yuantu know so much?" Gu Liangfen asked.

Siqing asked, "What if Yao Yuantu and the others are already targeting Uncle Fu?"

"Why did he focus on Uncle Fu?" Gu Liangfen was puzzled.

Si Qing had no choice but to say: "Do you know who concocted Yu Yun and Yi Prison?"

Gu Liangfen said: "I know, it's an old man who respects the king."

Siqing asked again: "What is the relationship between Old King Jing and King Duan?"

Gu Liangfen thought for a while and said, "...Alliance?"

Si Qing said anxiously: "Then if Yu Yun and the fish that slipped through the net are involved in this matter now, what will be the consequences?"

Gu Liangfen's complexion changed drastically, "Will it get worse and worse, and there is no way to end it?"

Siqing said, "That's right!"

"But this is just your guess. Yao Yuantu may not use Uncle Fu's past as a bargaining chip."

"Then do you dare to bet? That's Uncle Fu's life!"

Gu Liangfen finally fell silent.

Wu Zhenying said softly: "But Siqing, if you don't leave yourself a way out, even if you rescue Uncle Fu, if something happens to you, he will only suffer for the rest of his life."

Siqing finally smiled, and the smile was fleeting, "Uncle, I have thought about what you said. But the current dilemma must be solved first, and we will talk about the future."

"Then have you ever thought about how you will deal with yourself if you force King Duan to let go and let people go, and a bunch of Dingfan spies will come out from the imperial capital and ruin the overall situation?" Gu Liangfen asked.

Siqing said: "Brother, you really care about the country and the people."

"You answer my question first." Gu Liangfen insisted.

Si Qing suddenly said: "Are you forcing me to tell the whole story? Well, then I will say a few more words, this matter has turned around."

Gu Liangfen asked, "What's the turning point?"

Si Qing said softly: "Someone has kidnapped Prince Duan's son."

"Feelings, you came here in a rage and suspected that I had kidnapped Prince Duan?" Gu Liangfen said angrily, "Am I that stupid?"

"Yesterday you said, 'We can't hold Duan Wang's family hostage'." Wu Zhenying raised his eyebrows.

Si Qing stared at her closely, and Gu Liangfen said helplessly, "Uncle, don't turn around and sell me! I was talking nonsense."

Si Qing said: "Speaking nonsense, talking nonsense? And today Prince Duan's son really had an accident, what a coincidence!"

Gu Liangfen said: "Isn't it impossible for things to become big? The son of Prince Duan was kidnapped, wouldn't things become more and more troublesome? How could there be a turning point?"

Si Qing said: "Since you didn't do it, who said that the person who kidnapped Prince Duan's son was to force Prince Duan to let go of Uncle Fu's matter?"

"You want to muddle the water and use other things to trip up Prince Duan so that he can't escape?" Gu Liangfen asked sideways.

"Basically," Si Qing said, "This is the rest of the routine played by Duan Wang, and I just want to use his own way to treat him."

Gu Liangfen listened to Si Qing's words, thought for a while, and said softly: "I don't need to do anything for now, but if the matter really reaches the point where it cannot be resolved, I will use the most extreme method to save people."

Si Qing said: "Uncle's family business is not small in Gyeonggi, brother also has a family, I hope things don't reach that point. Uncle Wu——"

Wu Zhenying asked, "What's wrong?"

Siqing said: "Now that we have finished talking, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Wu Zhenying said, "Looking for someone?"

Siqing nodded, and Gu Liangfen said: "Since Prince Duan was kidnapped secretly, this matter will definitely not be brought to light. We have a lot of connections in the dark places of the capital, so it should be easier to find someone than Jingwei."

Siqing said: "Thank you. If there is any news, I'd better contact Lao Cheng."

Wu Zhenying said: "We can save it, you must be more careful."

Siqing got up and gave Wu Zhenying a deep bow, Gu Liangfen suddenly said, "You're just running around outside like this, no one cares?"

Siqing said, "What's none of your business?"

"You only bring these few people, if something happens, who will be to blame?"

"Worried about my safety? You don't need to worry about it. You should worry about yourself first, maybe Xu Wenchang will trouble you tomorrow."

"Who is worried about your safety? I am worried that your whereabouts will be exposed and cause us trouble."

"I will arrange my whereabouts myself, and you don't need to take care of it!"

"Okay, okay," Wu Zhenying saw that the two were about to quarrel again, and quickly said, "Stop arguing, it's getting late, Siqing, be careful yourself."

Siqing pulled her back together as a gesture of respect, and gave her elder brother a look, then Fang left the Wuzhai with her servants and headed towards the east of the city.

"Don't go back to Nannei yet," Siqing sat in the car and fiddled with the Ying Luo hanging inside the car, and softly instructed Xia Chu, "Since they're all out, let's go around and then go to Duan Wang's Mansion."
