"You have no other meaning?" Gao Zeyu sneered, "Maybe, maybe you really have no other meaning. But there were rumors outside that you were the number one scholar and His Majesty remembered your father's old grudge.
You have been demoted to the rank of third flower. Do you think His Majesty is deaf and cannot hear these rumors?
You are a top-ranked recruit with a bright future, but you would throw away your official hat and resign just two or three days after joining the job. How could this happen? If you are really not interested in an official career, then why are you even interested in taking the exam? You said that outsiders believe you
Do you still believe the rumors from the outside? Do you think His Majesty believes what you say, or does he believe what has already happened?
If you are just an ordinary candidate, you can just resign and no one will take you seriously. But you are famous all over the world as a top scorer in four subjects and a new subject in the whirlpool of rumors. The more famous you are, the more famous you are.
, the impact of this resignation will be even greater. How will the people of the world view Your Majesty?
Because of your own selfishness, you have made His Majesty a joke! Especially when you caused such a thing during the 600th anniversary of the Jin Kingdom, how could you make His Majesty feel so embarrassed? You are so good at choosing a time, but you chose it at this period.
Do you dare to say that you are not seeking revenge and venting your personal anger?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present changed drastically, and they all realized that this was a fatal matter.
Yu Qing, who was in a good mood after just getting 30,000 taels of silver, was already confused.
He didn't take Pei Qingcheng's words seriously before, thinking that he would achieve nothing by resigning, and thought that Pei Qingcheng was purely trying to hinder him. Only then did he really realize what Pei Qingcheng meant when he said someone was building momentum and digging holes for him.
It was only then that he truly understood how the previous rumors could be called campaigning. He had no concept of this before.
Yu Qing did not expect that a well-discussed resignation with his junior uncle could lead to such a big deal, so he hesitated and said: "Master Cheng Pei of the Censor will not let me resign. How about I rush back to the Censor's Station to withdraw my resignation now?"
Gao Zeyu smacked his palms and said, "Your resignation has fallen into the hands of someone who is interested. It is evidence in black and white. As far as I know, someone has already taken your resignation to the palace to see your majesty and report you. Do you think your majesty has learned about it?"
Can I not be angry and let you go?"
Yu Qing frowned and was frightened.
Zhong Su stared at him and didn't know what to say. How could such a talented man act like a child?
Although he was angry, he was still calm at the critical moment and asked: "Master Gao came here in person, but what advice do you have?"
Gao Zeyu: "Advice is out of the question. Let's make some things clear. You usually give me a lot of things. If you are involved and fall into the hands of the imperial court, if you bite me out, wouldn't I be wronged?
?I happened to learn about this matter, so naturally I had to rush over to resolve it."
Zhong Su raised his hand and said: "How to resolve it, I would like to hear the details!"
Gao Zeyu looked at Yu Qing and said, "Cut! Draw a clear line with him. The matter is his alone. When the court investigates, you will know nothing. Try to distance yourself from the relationship to protect yourself."
Zhongsu pondered.
Du Fei and Butler Li looked at each other. Du Fei pointed at Yu Qing and asked, "What should he do?"
Gao Zeyu said in a deep voice: "What else do you want to do? Naturally, one person is responsible for the work. If he doesn't want to die, he can run away. He will bear all the responsibilities by himself."
Butler Li held up his hands and said anxiously: "Master Gao, is there no other way?"
Gao Zeyu: "If he wants to survive, he must hide first if there is any way, and save the person first before he can find a way to solve the problem. Otherwise, no one can save him when His Majesty is so angry!"
Yu Qing suddenly nodded and said: "Listen to Mr. Gao, everyone is responsible for the work. I don't want to bring trouble to the Zhong family. You just put everything on me, and I'm leaving!"
Zhong Su, Du Fei, and Butler Li all looked at him, but they all wanted to say something but stopped.
Yu Qing nodded to the three of them again, "I'm leaving!"
He didn't want to stay and be caught and interrogated. Once caught, the property he had worked so hard to save might be gone.
What made him wail in his heart was, was Linglongguan's feng shui bad? The three senior brothers were fugitives from the imperial court, and now he would also become a fugitive?
Gao Zeyu said: "In case there is a search on the way, for the sake of Mr. Zhong, I can help you leave. There is a group of yamen servants outside. I will pick out suitable yamen servant clothes for you to change into and personally take you out of the city.
He glanced at Zhong Su and the others again, "What do you think?"
Du Fei and Butler Li both nodded in approval.
Zhong Su thought about it for a while and said to Yu Qing: "The situation is unclear now, so it might be a good idea to go out first and have some buffer."
Yu Qing’s voice.
Zhong Su immediately turned to Gao Zeyu and said, "Master Gao, I'm sorry to bother you. Can you please allow me to tell him a few words in private?"
This is to let him avoid it, Gao Zeyu also knows the situation, "Okay, I will go by and ask someone to pick out suitable clothes for the yamen servants. You should try your best to hurry up, otherwise things will change!"
Zhong Su thanked him with his hands and tilted his head to indicate to Du Fei and Butler Li to send him off, with the intention of asking them to avoid it as well.
There were only two people left in the room, and Zhong Su suddenly sighed: "I really want to scold you, but the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to scold you. Ashheng, you are not stupid, I really
I don’t know why you did this, but I hope you can pass the test smoothly this time, otherwise you will miss my daughter for the rest of her life!"
Yu Qing also hesitated to speak, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back the truth about his resignation that he wanted to tell.
Just before Zhong Su entered the door, he wanted to find Zhong Su to confess.
However, things are really happening now. If the Zhong family is implicated, once the Zhong family is arrested, I am afraid that they may not be able to keep the true and false Ash Heng's secret. If the court investigates, Linglongguan will be implicated.
After hesitation, I decided to see if I could pass this level.
If you can't get through, there is no need to implicate Linglongguan and Ashheng.
If you have passed this level, it will not be too late to wait for an opportunity to inform you. Anyway, things have already happened like this.
"Uncle Zhong, I'm sorry. If there is a chance in the future, I will give you an explanation." Yu Qing said with shame.
Zhong Su sighed: "I hope that one day. I am chatting with you privately because I want to tell you that I don't believe a word of what those officials say. Just like your father, he would rather live in seclusion for many years without contacting him."
Heng, the most trustworthy person is ourselves. If we want to protect ourselves, we still have to rely on ourselves and cannot place all our hopes on others."
Yu Qing was stunned, "Uncle Zhong has a better way?"
Zhong Su: "In the current situation, there is only one person in the entire capital who can keep us safe. If she takes action, those who want to kill you will not dare to embarrass you anymore. If the opinions of the two factions in the imperial court are unified, Your Majesty will be alone.
I have no choice but to give up!"
"who?"
“The Commander-in-Chief of Sinan Mansion, Earth Mother!”
“Ah, if there is a faction, she should be the one who wants to kill me. How can she help us?”
“Have you forgotten the treasure map?”
"Treasure map?" Yu Qing was stunned again and asked suspiciously: "Where did you get the treasure map?"
This time it was Zhong Su's turn to be stunned, "Is it possible that your father didn't tell you about the origin of that half of the picture?"
Yu Qing suddenly realized it and was frightened. He quickly asked: "Is the half of the picture I gave you to Uncle Zhong a treasure map?"
Zhong Su was speechless and choked for a while, and couldn't help scratching his beard, "What happened to your father? How could he not even tell you such an important matter? What on earth did he want to do? Did he want you to get away? That's not right.
, if I want you to get away, why do you have to come to Beijing to take the exam?"
After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out. He waved his hand. There was no time. He kept the story short and hurriedly explained the origin of the treasure map that was divided into two parts.
Yu Qing's eyes kept blinking when he heard this, and he was cursing in his mind that Ash Heng was sick. He had such a valuable treasure and went to Beijing to take the exam. Isn't it easy to help the people with endless money? You can be a great philanthropist.
!
He was simply speechless.
However, I understood what Zhong Su meant and tried to ask: "Do you want to dedicate the treasure map to Mother Earth?"
Zhong Su: “This is what can really move her.”
"No..." Yu Qing was a little confused and smoothed his tongue, "Uncle, why don't we run away together as a family. You see, with the treasure map, as long as you find the blessed land of the Immortal Family and the property of the Zhong Family,
Just give it up, you don’t have to worry about missing your daughter, right?”
His idea was that as long as he ran away with the treasure map, the Zhong family would have no way out. It would be great if the Zhong family could tell the true and false story about Ash Heng and let the Zhong family and Ash Heng get married smoothly.
Zhong Su was shocked by his words, and felt as if he was shocked.
He suddenly understood why Ajizhang didn't tell his son the truth about the treasure map. He was a traitor!
Completely contrary to the philosophy that Ajiezhang adhered to throughout his life.
Suddenly, I also realized the answer to the relationship behind why Ajizhang did not entrust his son.
No wonder he could do such an unreliable thing, Zhong Su murmured in his heart, this guy dare not want to practice Ajiezhang's ideas at all!
However, he was relieved. Before, he was worried that he would not be able to persuade this guy to hand over the treasure map to the Sinan Mansion, because this was Ajizhang's firm objection.
Immediately rejected Yu Qing's opinion and shouted: "What nonsense, are you risking your life for a treasure map that you don't know why? How can a person with a family run away? No one in our family can run fast..."
After he said this, Yu Qing understood what he meant.
When the Zhong Mansion presents treasures, it will inevitably face the question: since there are treasures, why are they presented now? Maybe Zhong Su is suspected of being involved in the matter of the ancient tomb.
If this is the case, then it is not a sacrifice of treasures, but a conspiracy with Ajiezhang to steal treasures.
So when Zhongsu presented the treasure, he said that he didn't know, and that he, Yu Qing, told him and gave it to him just before he ran away. Because he was sorry that the Zhong family let the Zhong family use it to protect themselves, if Yu Qing was caught in the future
Now, you have to bite the bullet and take the responsibility on yourself.
It is definitely no problem for the Zhong family to rely on the merits of offering treasures to protect themselves. This is encouraged by the Sinan Mansion.
In the final analysis, it was you, Yu Qing, who caused the incident. When a disaster is imminent, it is up to him, Yu Qing, to shoulder all the responsibilities.
At least one of the two can be saved.
Of course, this is just a preliminary preparation. We will not do this unless it is absolutely necessary, and we will not hand over such a valuable treasure easily.
Yu Qing didn’t want to hand over the treasure map, but after thinking about it, Zhong Su couldn’t give him the treasure map at this time. The key was that there was no time to bother him now.
I had no choice but to agree.
As soon as Gao Zeyu arrived, Yu Qing changed into the clothes of a servant and followed Gao Zeyu quietly through the back door.
Zhong Su did not go to see him off, but sent Du Fei and Butler Li, who missed his old master, to go.
He stood alone at the gate of the east courtyard and watched for a while. After the figure disappeared, he murmured to himself, "If Gao is not kind, don't blame me if people from your father's faction can't save your life..."
