The first thousand and twenty seven chapters are their masters
Zhou Yuan was never surprised that Gu Chengyu spoke so kindly to him, but he was also a dying man, so he simply stopped talking.
He naturally knows Gu Chengyu very well. It can be said that all officials working in the capital today know Gu Chengyu.
Originally, his master wanted to win him over, but it was a pity that Gu Chengyu was not willing to use him. Now that he was caught by Gu Chengyu, it only meant that his skills were inferior to others.
"Master Gu, why are you here to ridicule me? If I fall into your hands, I know that I have no way to survive. It doesn't matter whether I say it or not. It's better to just end it and still be a man."
Zhou Yuancong looked at Gu Chengyu with a somewhat complicated expression. If he had known that Gu Chengyu was so alert, he should not have assassinated him. At least he could have saved his life.
When the master achieves great things in the future, like him and other heroes who have served the dragon, are they still afraid that their future will be lost?
But it was too late to regret it now. Zhou Yuancong closed his eyes, and the pain in his body made him unable to think about anything else.
Gu Chengyu sneered and said, "Is this the end? Can Zhou Yuan ever have such an awakening? It's simply nonsense."
Who in this world would be loyal to his master? Apart from those dead warriors who have been instilled with concepts since childhood, who could put life and death aside?
The dead men were not all willing to die. Aren't they hung up by the antidote? Zhou Yuancong was afraid that something had fallen into that person's hands, right?
Gu Chengyu thought of Zhou Yuancong's family members. The Zhou family's heirs were now missing. Zhou Yuan had never assassinated him. Didn't he consider his heirs?
This just shows that those heirs are not in Zhou Yuancong's hands. Perhaps he was forced to do so, or perhaps he wanted to gain credit so that his heirs could escape from misery earlier. Therefore, it is not enough for the other party to assassinate him instead of hiding.
Strange.
"You know very well why Mr. Zhou assassinated me." Gu Chengyu snorted coldly and looked at Zhou Yuancong's sudden gaze, not taking it seriously at all.
Then he waved to the two government officials and said, "Put this person in a cell first. Is there anyone who can go find the imperial doctor?"
"Replying to your lord, we have already sent someone to ask for them. Do you want to interrogate those assassins now?" Of course, someone who can be the head of the prison has eyes. He has already sent people to ask for the imperial doctor, and it is almost time to arrive.
"Yes! I'll come as soon as I go." Gu Chengyu nodded and glanced at the cell leader and the other jailer. It seemed that he couldn't say more to Zhou Yuancong.
After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he walked out. The cell boss and jailer were a little confused. Didn't he just say that the assassins were going to be interrogated?
But after a while, the prison guard suddenly realized. After leaving for a while, didn’t he just want to go to the toilet?
Looking at Gu Chengyu's leaving figure, he couldn't help but curl his lips. This scholar is really hypocritical. He can't even say that he wants to go to the toilet, and he has to hide it.
Gu Chengyu walked towards the other end of the cell, where was the latrine.
As soon as he entered the latrine, Gu Chengyu listened for a while and saw nothing happened, then he stepped into the space.
He found the Four Treasures of the Study in the space, tore off a corner of a piece of paper, and started writing with a brush.
By the time Gu Chengyu came out, the imperial doctor had already arrived.
He strolled up to the imperial physician. Imperial Physician Jiang, who was squatting to apply medicine to Zhou Yuancong, immediately stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to Mr. Gu!"
Gu Chengyu nodded, "No need to be polite! How is his injury? The prince said that you should try your best to treat him and not let him die. And you should come here at this time every day. No matter how expensive the medicinal materials are, you can just prescribe them."
"
Doctor Jiang glanced at Zhou Congyuan, who was covered with scars. Naturally, he knew this man. He heard that Qian'er had come to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince.
Very few of the people who entered this prison needed medical treatment from their imperial doctors. One type was cleared of suspicion and returned to his official position; the other type was hanging on for his life, hoping that he could be of some use if he kept it.
This Zhou Yuancong must be of the latter type, but the imperial doctor would not ask. Knowing too much is not a good thing.
Seeing that the cell leader was still guarding here, Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes and said, "Single out one person for interrogation first, and follow the process just now. If you want to confess, come and report. I will be here to guard you."
"Yes, sir!" The cell leader took another jailer to interrogate him. Gu Chengyu turned around and looked at the other two jailers patrolling the prison. Seeing that they were still patrolling here, he knew it was not a good time.
"Master Gu, this wound has been treated with medicine. I will prescribe another prescription to warm and nourish the body."
Gu Chengyu nodded, "Excuse me, Doctor Jiang."
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Dr. Jiang quickly bowed and then began to write the prescription.
When Gu Chengyu saw Zhou Yuancong closing his eyes and concentrating, he looked back, then stepped forward and lightly kicked him.
Zhou Yuancong opened his eyes and looked at Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu deliberately approached him and said with a smile, "Master Zhou, we are each our own masters. We have offended many people today. It is really a helpless act."
Then he quickly stuffed the note into Zhou Yuancong's hand. Zhou Yuancong was obviously stunned, but he then squeezed the note in his hand and hid it in his sleeve.
"Hmph! Why are you being so hypocritical, Mr. Gu? Since you have caught me, I can only blame Zhou for being inferior to others. As I said, whether you want to kill or behead, you have to do whatever you want."
Zhou Yuancong was a little confused, what did Gu Chengyu mean? What exactly was written on the note?
"It seems that Mr. Zhou has not suffered enough today. Waiting for tomorrow, I just don't know if Mr. Zhou can still be so stubborn."
Gu Chengyu sneered, and Imperial Physician Jiang glanced at Zhou Yuancong, thinking that if he was tortured every day, no matter how precious medicinal materials he used to hang himself, there would be no time to make up for the shortfall in his body.
It seems that he will have to take strong medicine tomorrow, but he cannot let this person die, otherwise he cannot bear the blame from the prince.
"Pop!" "Pap!"
The rhythmic sound of whipping sounded in the cell again. Doctor Jiang hurriedly wrote down the prescription and then left.
Gu Chengyu waved to a jailer and asked him to follow him to the Tai Hospital to get medicine, and he left the cell where Zhou Yuancong was.
After the cell door was re-locked, Zhou Yuancong glanced at the patrolling jailer and turned over slightly despite the pain. Using the cover of the straw on the ground, he quickly unfolded the note in his hand.
"If you don't do it, your heirs will be safe!" Zhou Yuancong's eyes widened, and then he stuffed the note into his mouth and swallowed it with difficulty.
What does this mean? Are Gu Chengyu and his master a team? But why didn't his master tell him that if he knew they were a team, why would he bother to assassinate the other party?
From this moment on, Zhou Yuan's mind felt as if paste had been poured into it, and he couldn't stir it up.
He thought for a moment, no! This is impossible.
In the evening, the clouds on the horizon were falling rapidly, and another day was about to pass. The prince was kneeling in the Chengqian Palace to keep vigil.
"Your Highness! Lord Gu, please see me!" Pang Chu whispered in the prince's ear.
The prince was shocked when he heard this, "Let him wait in the East Palace!"
