"Senior brother, if I am caught in prison, please look after my second sister's family and my classmates and friends."
Although Gu Chengyu already had a plan in mind, he might really have to go to this prison.
His parents are no longer in the capital, so they should not be affected for the time being. The only ones in the capital are his second sister and the others. He is afraid that someone will take advantage of his absence and do something bad to them.
Yin Kun glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? How old are you? How long will it take to live in the future! What does such a small thing mean? I'm going to find out your ranking in the examination. Maybe we are all worrying in vain, so don't think about it.
"
Yin Kun looked at the young man in front of him. He seemed to be confident all along. Even though the danger was imminent at the moment, he was still calm and calm.
His teacher's vision is good. If this young disciple can escape this disaster, he will surely win a place in the court in the near future.
"Senior brother, I'll go back first." When Gu Chengyu planned to go back to interrogate Guo, the Hu family should have received a reply.
"Well! I will inform you if you get the rank in the examination. Your second senior brother and your third senior brother." Yin Kun wanted to say something, but he was a little depressed.
They have been in court for a while. If they were serious, they would definitely send someone to give them a message. So far, there has been no movement, so I don’t know what they think.
Gu Chengyu hurried back to the house. As soon as he returned to the house, Ming Mo came to report that the Hu House had given a reply. Mr. Hu agreed to the local negotiation proposed by the young master, and the Wu House also sent someone to deliver a message saying that Gu Chengyu should go.
A trip to Wu Mansion.
Gu Chengyu thought for a moment and decided to interrogate Guo Shi first, and then go to Tianxiang Pavilion.
"Go and write a reply to the Wu Mansion, saying that I have something to do and I won't be in the manor again. I'll wait two hours before going back. Where is Guo Shi?"
"I'm being locked up in the darkroom!" Ming Mo took the order and was about to send someone to the Wu Mansion to give him a message.
Gu Chengyu nodded and ordered Ming Yan to be called.
Gu Chengyu passed the pond in the outer courtyard, came to the rockery in the garden, and entered the hole in the rockery. He looked around and saw no one, so he touched the mechanism on the rockery.
Only a slight rumbling sound was heard, and a tunnel opening was opened on the ground of the rockery. Gu Chengyu walked down the stairs, and the stone slab above automatically closed when Gu Chengyu walked down.
The space below is large, and torches are burning on the surrounding walls, illuminating the dark room as if it were daylight.
Guo Shi was tied behind his back and still on the ground, with a piece of black cloth covering his eyes and a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth. When he heard someone coming in, he became a little excited.
He sat up straight and made a purring sound.
When Li Zhuang heard someone coming in, he quickly hid aside with two of his subordinates. Then, when he saw that it was Gu Chengyu who came in, he came out to greet Gu Chengyu.
"I've met the master!" After Guo Shi was brought back, Li Zhuang led his men to guard him.
Gu Chengyu nodded and motioned to Li Zhuang and the others to put on their black veils. He then put on the mask he had just brought in before coming in. This was a mask with a green face and fangs, which Gu Chengyu bought at the Lantern Festival last time.
Gu Chengyu asked Li Zhuang and the others to take out what was in Guo Shi's mouth, and took away the blindfold at the same time.
Guo Shi was blinded by the bright light in front of him. As soon as his mouth was free, he quickly said: "Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"
Guo Shi wasn't sure what the purpose of these people was, but he knew that they probably didn't want to kill him, and they would have killed him long ago.
He remembered that there was a killer on the carriage who wanted to kill him, but he was saved by two men in black. Then he was knocked unconscious by the two men and was taken to an unknown place.
Guo Shi tried to open his eyes, but his vision was blurry.
Only three men could be seen, two of them were tall and tall, wearing black veils on their faces. Their faces were invisible. There was a slightly thinner man in front of them, but he wore a mask with green faces and fangs.
Gu Chengyu lowered his voice and said hoarsely: "Master Guo, you should be grateful that my people saved your life, otherwise you would have been dead by now."
After a while, Guo Shi could see the person in front of him clearly, but unfortunately his face was covered, so he didn't know who sent him.
"I would also like to thank several brave men for their life-saving grace. However, what does the strong man mean by arresting me? I am an official of the imperial court, and imprisoning an official of the imperial court is a capital crime."
Gu Chengyu sneered, "Master Guo's heart is too big, do you believe it? As long as he leaves this place, Master Guo will die without a burial place.
Guo Shi's face turned pale. He had just woken up and had been thinking about who wanted to kill him.
The eldest prince should trust him, otherwise he would not entrust this matter to him. As for your lord, if you still want him to stay with the eldest prince to handle matters, you will not kill him.
Could it be the third prince? But the third prince is already under house arrest. How can he still have this ability? As long as he is under house arrest, not even a bird can enter the third prince's house.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but scold Guo Shi in his heart for being such an idiot for not even thinking about who wanted to kill him.
"Master Guo, you know who you are working for, but if you tell me exactly what you know, I can save your life. Otherwise, do you think the eldest prince and your real master can keep you?"
Life?"
Gu Chengyu had long known that there were two groups of people trying to kill Guo Shi, which meant that Guo Shi was working for two masters at the same time. Did he think he was a sparrow? He was too stupid to be a double agent.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." When Guo Shi heard Gu Chengyu pull out his old information, he felt frightened and his back became wet.
Gu Chengyu wanted to roll his eyes. If he hadn't been reluctant to part with the mantra powder, he would have sprinkled it on him long ago. Would he still have ink marks on him?
It's just a small bottle, and he hasn't gathered enough medicinal materials yet. If he could refine it himself, wouldn't it be against the will of heaven?
It's a pity that the medicinal materials of mantra powder are second-level elixirs in the world of cultivation, which are not available in this secular world.
Gu Chengyu winked at Li Zhuang. Since he was still having sweet dreams, let's give him some color and see if it was his fists or his words that were tough.
Li Zhuang nodded, stepped forward and punched Guo Shi in the stomach. Guo Shi wailed, fell to the ground, and curled up together, thinking he was in too much pain.
Li Zhuang curled his lips, Guo Shi was a weak scholar, and he must have been unable to withstand his iron fist. With just one punch, he looked like he was going to die.
Gu Chengyu signaled to stop, but Guo Shi couldn't help but hit him. A punch would make him obedient.
"Master Guo, if you might as well invite me, don't blame me for being rude. Where did you get those letters? Did the eldest prince instruct you to do this? Why was Lord Song also involved? Do you think the eldest prince would let it go?
Have they passed you? Those killers were sent by the eldest prince, and the master behind you also wants to kill you quickly. You are already an abandoned son."
Guo Shi had cold sweat breaking out on his head, his stomach ached with cramps, and his heart was in turmoil. Who was this person? Why did he know that the eldest prince had instigated him?
He endured the pain and spoke intermittently, "Who are you? How do you know that I am working for the eldest prince?"
