As the eldest son of the Gu family and Mrs. Gu were taken away by officials, the atmosphere of the entire Gu family changed. There was an air of death from the inside out.
The servants of the Gu family were all cautious, fearing that something would happen and make their master unhappy. When Gu Chengzhi was taken away from Mrs. Gu, there was no smile on his face anymore. When he went to ask Mr. Gu to come forward to save people, he was rejected.
, then his face became even more ugly.
Gu Qiancheng was not surprised at all when she learned that Mr. Gu was unwilling to come forward to intercede for his father and Mrs. Gu. She had known that Mr. Gu had always been so realistic.
Of course, some people in this group were secretly happy that something happened to the eldest master of the Gu family, such as the second master Gu and his second wife. However, they only felt secretly happy and did not dare to show it, for fear that the old master would know about it.
Mr. Gu really thinks too much. The old man of the Gu family has no mind to care about him now. Ever since he knew that Qiancheng had found out about Wu Yun's death, the old man of the Gu family has become very uneasy. Now that something happened to his eldest son and daughter-in-law,
The old man of the Gu family immediately thought that this was Gu Qiancheng's revenge...
If Gu Qiancheng found out, he would probably scream injustice. She wanted revenge, but before she could take action, the eldest son of the Gu family put her in jail. She really didn't do anything. At most, she borrowed money from Qin.
His Highness's influence allowed those two people to serve their sentences according to the law.
The evidence of the Gu family's eldest son's rape and murder of a slave was conclusive, and Mrs. Gu's crime of murder was also established. However, the slave who died was a prostitute. It was impossible for the Gu family's eldest son and Mrs. Gu to pay for their lives, and Gu Qiancheng could not find any evidence that could prove Wu Yun's death.
It was Mrs. Gu who killed her. She could only watch them helplessly. After the murder, she did not need to serve a heavy sentence. She only had to serve one year in prison.
The reason why the government imposed a one-year sentence was because His Highness Qin was paying attention to this case. Otherwise, according to the law, the Gu family insisted that the slave betrayed his master and did not obey orders. The eldest son of the Gu family could just pay some money and settle the matter.
of.
As for rape and murder? It can be said that it is a maid in the same room. The life of the servant belongs to the master. What does it mean if the male master wants to sleep with a maid?
"Sure enough, the same people have different fates." Gu Qiancheng has long known that beating a slave to death is not a severe punishment according to the law, but seeing a living life die in front of him, and the murderer only needs to spend a year in prison, Gu Qiancheng
Cheng still felt uncomfortable.
But what can I do if I feel uncomfortable?
The law is clearly written, and no matter how uncomfortable she is, she cannot interfere in government affairs.
The sentences for the eldest son of the Gu family and Mrs. Gu were quickly pronounced. After the verdict, Gu Chengzhi stopped running around and locked himself in the house.
Gu Qiancheng knew that Gu Chengzhi had been begging for help these days, begging Mrs. Gu's mother, begging for relatives from the Gu family, but...
No one, no one is willing to help.
Occasionally, there were two people who wanted to help out of sympathy, but as soon as they found out about the case and His Highness the Emperor Taisun intervened, no one dared to say anything more, and they all disappeared behind closed doors.
Before the Gu family was reduced to nobility, Gu Chengzhi never went out. Although he was disappointed, there was no such obvious sense of gap. Now that he went out to ask for help, he truly understood the warmth and warmth of human relationships.
Gu Chengzhi locked himself in the room, and only came out of the room all day and night. The servants who saw this scene said that Gu Chengzhi was scary when he came out of the room, his eyes were as red as a ghost, so
He looked as if he wanted to eat someone.
Gu Chengzhi looked scary just once. After that, Gu Chengzhi became a different person. He treated others very gently, and the fierceness in his eyes gradually faded away. He looked like a different person.
Gu Qiancheng met Gu Chengzhi later, and when he saw Gu Chengzhi in front of him who was gentle and calm without a trace of resentment, calling her big sister, Gu Qiancheng gave a mocking smile.
Hypocrite!
Gu Chengzhi has some brains, but it's a pity that he became sensible too late. Chenghuan and Chengyi have both grown up, but she?
It is even more impossible to take Gu Chengzhi seriously.
After the incident involving the eldest son of the Gu family, the entire Gu family has become much more peaceful. Gu Chengzhi has recently started studying, and the old man Gu has stopped taking care of things and lives in seclusion. No one knows what he is thinking.
The Gu family fell into the hands of Mr. Gu and his second wife as they wished. Gu Qiancheng did not take back the property given to the Gu family, and the Gu family could still maintain its original dignity.
Gu Qiancheng was very satisfied with the Gu family like this. She was about to arrange for someone to send Qianmeng to Jiangnan and then sort out the affairs of the Wu family. But at this time, the news came that Dou, the second wife of the eldest son of the Gu family, was pregnant.
After three months of pregnancy and the fetus was firmly in place, Mrs. Dou dared to speak out.
"You are so calm and composed. No wonder the Gu family's title was reduced, something happened to Mrs. Gu, and she was not seen to take charge of the overall situation. It turned out that she was raising a baby." I have to say that Gu Qiancheng admired the Dou family. Such a big thing happened.
, and he can still raise a baby safely, which shows that he is a well-calculated person.
"With you here, Miss Dou, there will be no more chaos in the house. Mrs. Dou knows what's important. She values that child." The servant heard what Gu Qiancheng said and saw that Gu Qiancheng was in a good mood, so he said a kind word for Mrs. Dou.
Mrs. Dou has a very good reputation among the servants of the Gu family, and she always takes good care of the servants in Gu Qiancheng's house.
Just as Gu Qiancheng and the people around him were talking about Mrs. Dou, people outside came to report that Mrs. Dou had come to see Gu Qiancheng.
After all, Mrs. Dou was also the woman of Gu Qiancheng's father. She could only come to Gu Qiancheng to "visit" Gu Qiancheng, but Gu Qiancheng didn't take any money and stood up to greet her.
Although Mrs. Dou had not been married into the Gu family for a long time, she knew Gu Qiancheng's temper. She did not talk around Gu Qiancheng when she came here, but directly stated her purpose.
Mrs. Dou wanted to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to raise her baby.
She didn't say that the Gu family was not good, she just said that the atmosphere at home was depressing. She wanted to go outside the city to relax. She heard that Gu Qiancheng had several villages outside the city and wanted to live in one of them until she gave birth to a child.
Mr. Dou made nice words, but Gu Qiancheng knew very well what the actual situation was.
Mrs. Dou was afraid that Gu Chengzhi would attack her belly. During this period, Mrs. Dou was frightened by Gu Chengzhi's unusual behavior. The gentler Gu Chengzhi smiled, the more frightened Mrs. Dou became.
A teenage boy, who pretends to be an adult, should obviously hate the child in Dou's belly, but Gu Chengzhi doesn't show it at all, and even cares about it on weekdays.
Mrs. Dou felt that Gu Chengzhi was more and more terrifying and could not stay in the Gu family for a moment, so she begged Gu Qiancheng.
Although Gu Qiancheng didn't care about the Gu family's affairs, Gu Qiancheng knew everything about the Gu family's trivial matters. Gu Qiancheng didn't want anything to happen to the child in Dou E's belly, so he agreed after a moment's thought.
As for the old lady?
Gu Qiancheng didn't care, she believed Dou could convince the old man.
Two days later, Gu Qiancheng arranged for the Dou family to leave the city, and Gu Chengzhi even gave him a ride in person, which was a commendable performance.
As a result, Gu Qiancheng saw that the Gu family was gradually becoming empty. First, the Gu family's eldest father and Mrs. Gu, then the Dou family, and then Gu Qianmeng. The Gu family, which was originally a small population, seemed even more empty now.
Old Mrs. Gu just watched the huge Gu family wither away bit by bit, but there was nothing he could do...
The rise and fall of the Gu family has never been related to Gu Qiancheng. During this period, Gu Qiancheng has been busy taking over the power of the Wu family. The two parties are thousands of miles apart, making communication very troublesome. Gu Qiancheng considered going to Mobei in person, but he was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.
Qin Jiyan denied it.
"It's too dangerous for you to go to Mobei alone. I'll accompany you when the matter in the capital is settled." Gu Qiancheng's ability is indeed not weak, but don't forget that there is an Eternal Life Sect outside who is staring at Gu Qiancheng eagerly.
It was okay in the capital, and the Changsheng Sect would still be concerned about him, but if he left the capital, the Changsheng Sect might do something.
Gu Qiancheng thought about it. Her previous trip to the northwest would not have been so smooth without Tang Wanjin following her. If she were to go there again and be chased by the Eternal Life Sect, and then drag His Highness Qin to find her, then she would have committed a crime.
.
"How are you doing with your money?" Unable to leave, Gu Qiancheng had no choice but to pay attention to Qin Jiyan's business and see if he could help.
"The clues are broken and there is nothing in the moat." Although he spent a lot of manpower and material resources and ended up doing nothing, Qin Jiyan was not discouraged at all.
There are no clues in searching for silver, and what they are doing now is more of a matter of luck. Although it was a pity that they did not find any silver in the moat, it also ruled out the possibility that the other party would use the river water to transport the silver.
"What about the fake banknotes? Do you have any clues?" It's easy to hide things, but hard to find them. It's normal to not be able to find the whereabouts of the money for a while, and Gu Qiancheng is not surprised at all.
"Yes," Qin Jiyan obviously became more excited when talking about the counterfeit banknotes, "I sent people to Yanxi to find the purple gold earth mine you mentioned. The other party did dig the mine there, and then used special
The purification method makes the ink quality almost the same as the ink used by the royal family."
"Oh, so you have a clue?" Gu Qiancheng's eyes lit up, "Tell me quickly, where does the purple gold soil produced from that purple gold soil mine go? Where is it purified? How is it finally transported to the capital? Where is it?
Where did you stay? Where did you pass through? Can you find the person escorting you?"
Gu Qiancheng asked a series of questions, and Qin Jiyan wanted to laugh: "Are you interrogating the prisoners? Can you come one by one?"
"No, I know you've remembered it, so go ahead and tell me." Gu Qiancheng shook his head arrogantly, refusing to cooperate with Qin Jiyan's request for help.
"Okay, okay, I said, I said..." Qin Jiyan simply told Gu Qiancheng the clues he had recently found. After making sure that Gu Qiancheng remembered them all, he said: "Jin Yiwei has almost touched their stronghold. I
We've already been targeted, and we can take people to investigate in two days."
"Why does it take two days?" Gu Qiancheng asked puzzledly.
The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, so you can take action now to avoid long nights and endless dreams!
"Because...it's the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet in two days." Qin Jiyan raised his eyes slightly with a joking look on his face...
Want to force him to choose a concubine at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet?
dream!
