Chapter 301 There is nothing greater than heartbreak!
Chapter 301 There is no greater sorrow than death in the heart!
Hangzhou, Gujia, Yuyuan.
As the New Year approaches, the Gu family is decorated with lights and colorful colors, making it a festive New Year.
But in the Gu family's main hall, Gu Qingshan, Gu Yifan and more than ten core figures with young Gu Yifan were solemn.
Although Wang Lin's anti-corruption campaign was limited to the officialdom and stopped at the officials, and he made a promise on the same day that he did not expand to the high ranks of the gentry and the salt merchants.
But the more this happens, the salt merchants in Jiangnan and states are even more frightened. They don’t know when the butcher’s knife will fall and damage the family.
Farming and reading to pass on family members is just the sign of famous families.
How can thousands or even more than ten thousand great families last for a hundred or thousands of years without their livelihoods other than studying?
Therefore, in the plaque of the righteousness of the gentry, there are many unknown sins and filth hidden.
It is even said that in the complicated cases of Qian Zhongshu and others, there are more or less shadows of the prominent family in Jiangnan.
It can even be said that under the heinous sins, the Jiangnan prominent clan played a disgraceful role.
There are those who are in harmony with the flow and the defilement, there are those who are in harmony with each other, and there are also those who are accomplices of tigers.
As long as Wang Lin wants to do it, no one can escape.
Even though the Yuyuan where the head of the Gu family currently lives was still the house of Xue Yu, a Confucian businessman in Jiangnan, five years ago.
The Gu family came here with clever tricks under the banner of Qian Zhongshu.
Gu Qingshan pondered: "Now the Bohai County Prince inspected Liangzhe, which is called Shuangcai, but I really don't know what I mean. My Gu family, during Wang Lin's stay in Jiangnan, all studied behind closed doors and were strictly prohibited from going out to avoid causing trouble.
”
"Stop those messy business operations first."
Gu Yifan sighed softly: "Father, the disaster has actually come and I can't even hide it."
Everyone in the Gu family was shocked.
"Uncle San wants to handle old cases, the first thing that is to bear is a case involving my Gu family... The Prince of Bohai County was not allowed, so Uncle San was furious and abandoned his official position and left."
Originally, at this critical moment, Gu Qingchuan was valued for Wang Lin and acted as the governor of Hangzhou. This could provide cover for the Gu family, but...
In the second wife of the Gu family, Gu Zhiyong said angrily: "This villain! He actually led the disaster to his own family. It's simply outrageous! Brother, you should drive this thief out of the family!"
The other rooms also angrily despised Gu Qingchuan.
Gu Qingchuan is the concubine's son of Gu Qingshan's house, Xingsan.
Gu Qingshan slowly stood up and said calmly: "What kind of temperament of Gu Qingchuan, don't you know? You drove him out of the family? Haha, he is asking for it now!"
"He is now alone, selfless and fearless, and frugal. His family is just a ties and burden to him, that's all!"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingchuan wore a cloth robe and a bun, his face calmed down and entered with a high expression.
Gu Zhiyong said disgustedly: "Gu Qingchuan, what are you doing?"
"I'm here... saying goodbye to you. From today on, I'll announce my separation from the Gu family. Whether it's life or death, it has nothing to do with the Gu family!"
"I am selfless in my heart, with the country in my heart, and with the common people. If you don't do evil things in your daily life, why would you be anxious now?"
Gu Qingchuan stood in the hall and sneered: "Don't expect someone to turn a blind eye, and someone will never abuse his power! Since the prince of Bohai has different words and deeds, he will not eliminate evil and has a great intention to abuse the power, even if he resigns from his official position!
But someone had decided, and he went to Beijing again, beat the drum of the sound of the sound of the heavens!
I want to use my own sword to stab the vast sky of the wealthy families of Jiangnan, so that the world can see how many sins and bones are covered under the high-sounding Jiangnan family!"
Gu Qingshan frowned: "Lao San, why are you here?"
Gu Zhiyong was furious and stood up and spat: "Gu Qingchuan, you are such an unfamiliar wolf! The family supports you as an official, but you want to stab the knife into the family? What are you going to meet your ancestors? Such a traitor is so ruthless and unfilial.
Something!”
Gu Qingchuan said coldly: "Someone doesn't take any money for the family's wealth! Although someone comes from Gu's family, he has great righteousness, loyal to the country and the common people. He disdains that you seem hypocritical on the surface and have a lot of thieves and prostitutes!"
Gu Qingshan sighed: "Last brother, the Gu family is going to be destroyed, how can you survive?"
Gu Zhi was trembling with courage: "Gu Qingchuan! What are you? My Gu family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. It lasted for hundreds of years. Have you ever done any evil things? You put shit on your own head, and you... are still worthy of death!"
"A famous family? I'll ask you all, the former master of Yuyuan, Xue Yu's family, is here now?"
Gu Qingchuan was stern: "Gu Zhiyong, your two sons, Gu Tao, Gu Peng, domineering the people's daughter, using young children as anal dogs, committing serious crimes such as murder, human trafficking, and trafficking in singular salt, which has caused the entire Gu family, you still have
He is known as a famous family?"
"People are doing it, God is watching! God has eyes, and those who do evil will never hide! This time, even if Wang Lin is open to you, but the public is full of grievances, do you still want to get away with it?"
The more Gu Qingchuan said, the more excited he became.
As a general magistrate in the past, he was actually a decoration of the Hangzhou government office, and Xue Guanru never let him touch the key points.
As for the Gu family affairs, he was even more involuntary.
But in the past few days, he has read the case files and found that the numerous crimes committed by various families in Jiangnan are really incredible!
Even if it is the Gu family, it involves more than ten lives.
In Gu Qingchuan's eyes, this is almost an unforgivable sin.
Therefore, while he left his official position, he also packed his bags, and there were only a few old clothes and two volumes of books, and he wanted to break up with the Gu family completely.
He could not continue to live in Yuyuan.
As long as he thinks of Xue Yu's family who died tragically, he can't sleep at night and gets angry!
Gu Qingchuan left with his sleeves.
Gu Zhiyong also angrily took the other rooms to leave on his own, and the party ended in a bad mood.
Gu Yifan looked at Gu Qingshan and said lightly: "Father, if the third uncle really wants to go to the capital to beat the drum and sue the great gentry in Jiangnan, the consequences will be unimaginable. Why not let my son persuade him again."
Gu Qingshan's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a long time before saying, "No one can persuade the third brother. He is stubborn by nature, but how could he know that this high-ranking clan is mixed with good and bad, and if he wants to completely abide by the rules, it is almost a dream.
”
"Gu Zhiyong's two bastard sons are evil and are not ignorant of their father, but they are really... they will touch their whole body. Once disaster strikes Xiao Wall, it will drag down the entire Gu family."
"If thousands of people were only able to produce in the fields, my Gu family would have been defeated long ago."
"No need to persuade him. If he really goes to the capital, this time..." A hint of heartache flashed through Gu Qingshan's eyes: "How can the families in Jiangnan let him go? He can't leave Hangzhou City."
Gu Yifan sighed quietly.
He remembered Gu Qingchuan's wife and children who died tragically.
And now, if Gu Qingchuan still insists on his own, he will not be able to live long.
...
Gu Qingchuan carried a simple bag and held an oil-paper umbrella, and walked out of the south gate of Hangzhou City with his head held high.
Outside the south gate is the wharf.
Several canal ships and transport ships were quietly moored on the shore.
Gu Qingchuan's face was calm and he walked straight.
Suddenly, a group of men in black came out and swung their swords to attack Gu Qingchuan without saying a word.
Gu Qingchuan seemed to have expected it, calmly and fearlessly, still moving, slowly closed his eyes.
...
The Tiger God Guard under Yan Qing's command rescued Gu Qingchuan in time.
Wang Lin and Zhu Shuzhen stood on the Tian Mo at the distance. Seeing Gu Qingchuan in the fight without fear, the group of men in black were killed like thunder by the Tiger God Guard on the spot. The cloth robe he was wearing was splashed on
He was covered in blood, but he was unmoved.
Wang Lin sighed lightly: "Master, this Lord Gu is really an alternative person. Just the skill of qi cultivation that collapses in front of Mount Tai and is indifferent is enough to shame scholars all over the world."
Zhu Shuzhen said calmly, "I heard that Lord Gu's wife and children died in a bad life. If it were ordinary people, he would have been discouraged or gone to extremes. But he still does not regret it. He would rather break than bend. His tenacity in his heart has been rare throughout history.
.”
"Let's go and see him." Wang Lin walked forward.
Wang Lin looked at Gu Qingchuan deeply, and Gu Qingchuan looked back calmly.
Wang Lin actually read a hint of determination from his eyes.
"Where will Lord Gu go?"
"What do you have to do with the prince?"
Wang Lin's mouth twitched: "Mr. Gu, you know that you are going to the capital to attack the drums and sue the major families in Jiangnan, and they will not let you go, but do you still want to go?"
"I can save you once, but... if you can't get to the capital, listen to Gu's advice. A gentleman will eliminate evil for ten years, so why should he be in a hurry for a while?"
Gu Qingchuan inserted the oil-paper umbrella diagonally behind him and said calmly: "Thank you for your care. I can't know that I can't reach the capital or even leave Hangzhou. But I still want to go. Where is the way, why are you afraid of life and death?"
"Last time I went to the capital, I saw the body of a wife and children on the bank of the river when I returned. This time, I even thought of death."
"I thought that the biggest evil person in this world was a corrupt official like Qian Zhongshu, who would harm the country and the people... and the most conscientious person in this world was our scholars who read the books of sages... Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, and live for the people.
Establish your destiny, inherit your unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages!"
"However..." Gu Qingchuan said to the sky and said in a grief: "A scholar is useless! Even if he becomes an official, he is still a useless person. Seeing countless bones and souls entangled in his ears, he is still powerless! This was the case in the past, and it is the same now.
!”
"And in this world, if the prince of Bohai is in a high position and holds the power, he cannot ask for the people, seek justice for the people, and show his attention to the people. I don't know where the right path in this world will exist, and the common people on earth
How else can there be a way out?!"
"I have the intention to kill all the evils in the world, but I can't help but turn them back. I know that even if I attacked Dengwengu, it would be useless. I think about it again and again. It would be better to die if I live in this world without seeing it."
Gu Qingchuan's eyes were filled with sadness.
There is nothing more sorrow than death in the heart.
Wang Lin was speechless and choked.
This kind of brother is certainly respectable, but he is really obsessed with it.
He deliberately told the news publicly, claiming that he would go to the capital to attack the drum, and then he acted openly, which was nothing more than suicide and the desire to die.
Wang Lin sighed: "Since Lord Gu is not afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?"
"Since Lord Gu is so jealous of evil, why not go to Yangzhou with the orphan, please see if the orphan is what you think, a person who is so indulging in evil and obedient!"
I've been too busy lately... I'll recover after these two days.
