Chapter 168

  Gu Qingyun showed a puzzled expression: "This is also what I can't figure out."

Gu Qingyun didn't know the reason for this, and it seemed that it would not work to find out the opponent's identity from this aspect. It's not like Chu Xiaoyun didn't think about it, the fake Gu Qingyun was afraid of revealing his identity, and if his bloodbath of the Gu family's guards was leaked, it would also lead to a fatal disaster. But judging from the ability of the assassin dispatched by the other party to assassinate Gu Qingyun, if he doesn't want to suffer in prison, it may be inevitable to reveal his identity, but there should be no hindrance to his escape.

After all, why did that fake Gu Qingyun willingly endure the torture in prison and leave without revealing his identity? If it wasn't for the "friend" Zhuang Di that Gu Qingyun made to frame him, I don't know how many deeds the fake Gu Qingyun would have done in these years by borrowing the power of the Gu family. What secrets are hidden in this?

In addition, Chu Xiaoyun also thought, if the real Gu Qingyun faced Zhuang Di's framing, would the Gu family also stand still and have no resistance?

Thinking of Zhuang Di, Chu Xiaoyun's heart skipped a beat. As for the Gu family's practice of not resisting after Gu Qingyun was imprisoned, Chu Xiaoyun has been puzzled. Could it be that the Gu family also has some hidden secrets? Now facing Gu Qingyun, Chu Xiaoyun wanted to ask for clarification. It's just that what Zhuang Di did to Gu Qingyun as a friend is really hard to say. Chu Xiaoyun rehearsed back and forth in his heart until he found the most suitable way of expression before hesitantly asking.

"...Mr. Gu, I would like to ask, what do you think of Zhuang Di? Zhuang Di is so cruel to you? Why does the Gu family have no resistance?" The friendship between Zhuang Di and

Gu Qingyun is in Hejing County. It was originally a good reputation, but it fell to such a point later, which really made many literati sigh.

When Zhou Ying heard this question, she felt as if she wanted to escape. Only then did Chu Xiaoyun realize that she thought of Gu Qingyun's feelings, but forgot that there was another person involved at the scene. Gu Qingyun probably sensed his wife's emotions, grabbed Zhou Ying's hand the moment she wanted to escape, and shook his head.

"My lady is not at fault at all. If you don't want to hear, go to rest next door. If you want to find out, then stay." Gu Qingyun took Zhou Ying's hand and said, "Chu Butou's inquiry is to seek the truth. Madam, you don't need to have a psychological burden."

After Zhou Ying's emotions passed, she stayed behind under her husband's comfort.

Gu Qingyun fell into the memory and said: "I have known him for a long time, and we have been like-minded before. He is also a very talented and transparent person. If I hadn't learned from you what happened after being replaced, I would have I always thought we were shaped like Boya Ziqi..."

Gu Qingyun stopped here.

"Master Gu?" Chu Xiaoyun looked at him strangely.

Gu Qingyun stopped laughing at himself and said: "It turned out to be him."

Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled: "Who?"

Gu Qingyun snorted and laughed: "The person who rescued me from that boy and locked me up in Qingzhou Mansion, It should be Zhuang Di. Otherwise, how could I even have my favorite Biluochun."

"Huh?" Chu Xiaoyun was really surprised. Wei Chengyi, who was at the side, didn't know the previous circumstances of the case, so he was always in a fog. Seeing Chu Xiaoyun's reaction like this, he couldn't help but look sideways.

"This...then..." Chu Xiaoyun couldn't figure it out either.

Calculating the time, when Gu Qingyun was released, it was the time when Zhuang Di's incident was exposed and he fled in a panic. Originally, Zhuang Di planned to take away Gu Qingyun's wife and framed him, so that the county magistrate and others of his faction tried every means to report the death sentence to the Ministry of Punishment. Wasn't it just to put him to death and cover up his evil deed of occupying his friend's wife? If the report failed, tortured Gu Qingyun in prison would be worse than death. There was a great intention to torture him to death in prison, but how could he release the real Gu Qingyun when he was too busy to take care of himself?

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun was shocked again. Could it be that Zhuang Di has always known about the real and fake Gu Qingyun? ! He looked at Gu Qingyun in astonishment.

Gu Qingyun let out a long sigh: "I have known Zhuang Di for many years, and we have a good understanding between each other. He is also a very smart and quick-thinking person. Maybe he has already recognized that boy as a counterfeit." Gu

Qingyun Turning to Zhou Ying, looking at her tenderly, he gave her reassurance first: "My lady, don't think too much, I just want to ascertain the truth. That day... that day, the day Zhuang Di told you to leave the Gu family, was he looking for you?" What's the excuse?"

Husband doesn't mind being cheated by Zhuang Di before, and he still feels sorry for himself, Zhou Ying's inner burden can be said to be healed a lot. She recalled the scene at that time and said: "He used the excuse of sending the invitation card for the Plum Garden Plum Appreciation Conference to that counterfeit, and tricked that guy out, so I got a chance to escape, but I never thought..." It was a wolf The nest entered the tiger's mouth again.

Thinking about the past, Zhou Ying had mixed feelings in her heart, and for a moment she didn't know whether it was better to leave at the beginning or not to leave.

"Living is the most important thing, don't you think we are together again now?" Gu Qingyun should have seen what his wife was thinking, and comforted his wife by holding her hand tightly.

Seeing that his wife was relieved, she asked again, " Did that guy agree to go?"

Gu Qingyun listened and nodded: "That's it, Zhuang Di knew that guy was a counterfeit."

Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

Gu Qingyun said: "The literati in Hejing County are also divided into The two factions often hold various poetry meetings to compete with each other. There are two famous poetry meetings in winter, one is the Plum Appreciation Conference and the other is the Snow Appreciation Conference. It is a gathering of local literati admiring the snow and watching the plum blossoms, reciting poems and matching each other, painting and calligraphy, and fighting each other for writing."

"The owner of the Plum Garden and I and Zhuang Di each belong to the same faction. How can outsiders be invited to participate in this kind of poetry conference inside the faction. Not only have Zhuang Di and I never participated in the Plum Garden Plum Appreciation Conference, but everyone in the Snow Garden Sect Maybe participate in the Meiyuan Plum Appreciation Conference. Similarly, it is impossible for the owner of the Plum Garden to post a post to Zhuang Di, inviting us to participate in the Plum Appreciation Conference in the Plum Garden. Why would Zhuang Di ask me to go to the Plum Appreciation Conference? Want to come to him The action should be just the last test of that counterfeit."

Gu Qingyun sighed unacceptably at this point: "But I don't know, since Zhuang Di has tried many times and knows that the other party is a counterfeit, he also sent me out of the house. The other party was rescued in a cage, why did he treat Ah Ying and me like this!"

Gu Qingyun's puzzlement was also Chu Xiaoyun's puzzlement. But when Gu Qingyun told about this love affair, Chu Xiaoyun remembered the fact that Zhuang Di's ancestral home was originally Gyeongju. And the people who rescued Gu Qingyun from the group of killers who robbed and killed him then placed Gu Qingyun in Gyeongju, which seems to indicate that the group of people who rescued Gu Qingyun had some kind of connection with Gyeongju.

If it is said that Zhuang Di did that, it is reasonable for him to transfer the real Gu Qingyun to his own territory in Gyeongju. Judging from the killer who killed the servant who was guarding Gu Qingyun's stronghold, only Zhuang Di, who is backed by King Yan, can deal with such power.

From this point of view, everything makes sense and makes sense.

But what is unreasonable is that, as Gu Qingyun said, since he would rescue the real Gu Qingyun, why did he go to deceive Zhou Ying? ! It is said that a friend's wife should not be bullied, Zhuang Di's actions can be said to be against human relations, and both humans and gods are angry. Why are these two contradictory approaches?

Zhuang Di, a person whose portrait was already very clear in Chu Xiaoyun's eyes, suddenly became hazy again. Did he want to harm Gu Qingyun or save Gu Qingyun? What is his real purpose? With such an analysis, things seem to be more confusing.

However, Zhuang Di is not here, what he thinks, they have no way of knowing, everything can only be speculation. However, Chu Xiaoyun remembered the things that had been bothering him.

"Young master Gu, facing Zhuang Di's frame-up. Does the Gu family have the strength to resist? Will they not resist because of..." The relationship between imperial power and King Yan.

Chu Xiaoyun thought of Wei Chengyi at the side, and thought that this was in the palace, so he didn't dare to ask the last half of the sentence.

Gu Qingyun glanced at Chu Xiaoyun: "Being betrayed by a friend is another frame. Although Gu is a businessman, he also has the character of a literati, so naturally he will not sit still." "

Then why do you think the Gu family let that "you" fall into the trap ?" How about not doing any rescue? Can you analyze the reason?"

Gu Qingyun pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know why my parents made such a choice. But my Gu family is loyal to the emperor, and it is impossible to be influenced by the matter of King Yan Swaying. There can only be one reason for such a situation, and that is the idea of ​​the imposter. He said that he has the handle of the prefect of Gyeongju, and he presumably knows that the application for the death penalty reported to the Ministry of Punishment by the county government will not be passed, and he will not die. And then my parents, he should have come up with some way to convince my parents. As for the reason, I'm sorry for my ignorance, I really can't think of it now. But when you return to Hejing County, you can ask my parents face to face "

Many of Chu Xiaoyun's questions were actually just a fluke mentality, and he didn't expect Gu Qingyun to be able to answer them all. But Gu Qingyun not only answered, but also analyzed clearly. This person's thinking ability is really admirable, no wonder he can develop the Gu family's industry to this point.

Seeing that Chu Xiaoyun remained silent for a long time, Gu Qingyun asked, "Chu Butou, do you have anything else to ask?"

Gu Qingyun pulled out the silver needle in his head, which was equivalent to a serious illness. Now that he has just regained his sanity, he really shouldn't bother him too much. But Chu Xiaoyun still had a doubt, so he had to ask again: "There is one last question. Deng Xing's younger brother Deng Fei said that the fake Gu Qingyun told the family members of the guards who guarded you to death that their corpses They were all thrown into Pingjiang by those robbers, and their bodies were destroyed, is that true?"

After Chu Xiaoyun finished speaking, he immediately added: "Deng Fei has been looking for the body of his brother Deng Xing. Since his brother passed away, he has been floating on the Pingjiang River... I promised him to help him find clues, but I found nothing. .Now you are awake..."

Gu Qingyun had no choice but to recall the tragic fight again, restraining his grief, holding back his tears and said: "It was also a drought back then, the Pingjiang River was shallow, and the boats were crowded, if so Destroying the corpse and destroying the traces will definitely be discovered. I think that group of killers are so well-organized, they should not make this mistake. The corpse of my guard should still be near Lichuan Cliff." Chu Xiaoyun stood up and bowed to Gu Qingyun

: "Thank you Mr. Gu for your cooperation. You just woke up, and you need to rest more. I have waited for a long time, so I will leave first. If you think of any medicine to disturb Mr. Gu in the future, I hope you will forgive me.

" After recovering, what are your plans?"

Gu Qingyun thought for a while: "Maybe I will stay in the capital for the time being, my wife told me that the people from the Huguo Racecourse have arrived in the capital, and the first batch of horses have been cultivated and are urgently needed to be slaughtered. Take care of the matter of these horses. As for my family in Hejing County, naturally we can't startle the snakes, lest they harm my parents. Chief Chu, what's your opinion?"

Chu Xiaoyun said: "Then it's better to give Mr. Gu a I will write another letter as a token, and then I will take it back and explain the truth to your father."

Gu Qingyun said: "That's fine."

"Then Mr. Gu, you rest first, and I will come and get it later."

From Gu Qingyun's residence When he came out, Wei Chengyi sighed: "It is said that this Confucian businessman of Gu Qingyun's generation is as rich as a country, and it is really worth seeing once. He has been insane for five years, and when he woke up, he can still think so quickly and speak well. According to it. When I only heard his name, I still wondered how he managed such a large family business at such a young age, but now I understand." "

Indeed." This is also Chu Xiaoyun's opinion, "Young master Gu is indeed a strange man one."

After Wei Chengyi sighed with emotion, he asked: "Since the matter has become a mess, what is Brother Chu's plan now?"

Chu Xiaoyun thought for a while: "Since such an urgent matter happened, I naturally have to return to Hejing County immediately and explain to Mr. Wei. All of this. Stop that impostor, and don't let him run away."

Wei Chengyi also felt that this should be the case at the moment, so he nodded.

Chu Xiaoyun spoke earnestly to Wei Cheng and said: "Brother Ji and Master Xie of your six sects are not here, so Mr. Gu Qingyun has to trouble you to worry about it. The importance of Gu Qingyun's identity is self-evident. I hope Brother Wei will protect him well."

Wei Chengyi patted his chest and said, "Brother Chu, don't worry, there will be no one in the forbidden area of ​​the palace that I can't protect."

Chu Xiaoyun naturally nodded trustingly Smile.

After finishing his business, Chu Xiaoyun naturally wanted to go back to the quiet garden of the side hall of Kunning Palace where Su Wen lived temporarily. Originally, he planned to wait until the Lantern Festival to celebrate his son's first birthday before leaving, but now it seems that this little wish cannot be realized.

Standing outside the palace gate of Jingyuan, waves of guilt welled up in Chu Xiaoyun's heart.

Chu Xiaoyun returned to Jingyuan, briefly explained the current situation with Su Wen, and informed that the situation had changed, and he would return to Hejing County soon, so he could not spend Lantern Festival with them to celebrate his son's first birthday.

After being separated for several months, we will face parting soon after meeting again. Su Wen was naturally sad, but he knew that Chu Xiaoyun was a member of the yamen, and he couldn't help himself to make decisions about official affairs, so he could only force him to help pack his luggage, and cherish the night when he could get along with each other.

The two chatted and talked about their son, while packing their bags. There was a rushing sound from the outer hall, and the two of them were wondering, when the maid in charge of Jingyuan came in hurriedly and said, "Chu catcher, Mr. Su, the father-in-law next to His Majesty is here to deliver the order, please hurry to the lobby to receive the order."

Hearing that the eunuch came to tell them the emperor's will, both Chu Xiaoyun and Su Wen were taken aback, and quickly came back to their senses under the urging of the maid in charge. The two immediately put down the things in their hands, and rushed to the lobby together with the maid in charge. Along the way, Chu Xiaoyun was full of apprehension, he was the one on the top of Dacheng. He didn't expect that he still had a name with the emperor, and he didn't know why the emperor passed the decree to him at this moment. But he soon figured it out, apart from Gu Qingyun and Hu Ren's secret organization in Dacheng, it wouldn't be anything else.

So a little peace of mind.

As soon as he finished sorting out his thoughts, the corridor turned a corner, and the main hall was in front of him. Just outside the door came the high-spirited voice of the eunuch who came to deliver the order: "Chu Xiaoyun accepts the order." Chu Xiaoyun led

Su Wenhe All the maids and eunuchs in Jingyuan knelt down to receive the order: "Chu Xiaoyun accepts the order."

The eunuch passed the order and said: "The emperor ordered, Chu Xiaoyun will have an audience in the imperial study immediately."

Unexpectedly, the emperor wanted to see himself, and there was someone who had received the order before. After mental preparation, Chu Xiaoyun calmed down much faster this time. He received the decree and was about to follow the eunuch who passed the decree, when the maid in charge glanced aside out of the corner of her eye and thanked the eunuch who passed the decree. Only then did he think of the human relations in the palace.

As a newcomer, I really don't understand these etiquettes. Fortunately, the maids and eunuchs in charge of Jingyuan are very dedicated, and even these details are considered for him.
