Gu Chengyu thought for a while and wrote a reply to Zhu Pang. He did not explain the transaction with Hu Maoshen in the letter. The aristocratic families are complicated, and there is no guarantee that the letter will be read by the adults in the family. If the news is leaked, wouldn't it be wrong?
More gain than loss?
"Sir!" Ming Yan came in from the outside with a happy face. As soon as Gu Chengyu saw it, he knew that the matter was done.
"Did anyone get caught?"
Ming Yan nodded, "We caught him. He has been kidnapped. It just so happened that our people finally waited until a maid left the house and disguised herself as a maid and entered the eldest prince's house. This person actually lived in the eldest prince's guest room.
Inside, he was already under guard. It was better to follow the girl who delivered the food in and find out where he was."
Ming Yan only said a few words, but Gu Chengyu heard something dangerous from them.
"Okay! After this incident is over, there will be rewards!"
When Ming Yan heard this, his face lit up with joy. The young master had always been generous. He was not happy for himself, but because everyone had received a silver reward, so they could work harder for the young master.
"Sir, should we interrogate that staff member?"
"Let's go!" After catching the aide, Gu Chengyu finally let go of his heart. He was afraid of delaying Hu Maoshen's affairs. Although he had made two preparations, it was safer to take Hu Maoshen's path.
He suddenly thought that Ming Mo hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know what was going on with Guo Mansion.
"Master, it's in this room." Ming Yan took Gu Chengyu to a small courtyard in the backyard, where the aide was imprisoned by Ding Jiu and the others.
Gu Chengyu still put on the green-faced fang mask and entered the room. The black cloth from the eyes of the staff member had been removed, but the cloth was still stuffed in his mouth.
When Ding Jiu saw the young master coming, he stepped forward and saluted without saying anything. Then he turned around and pulled the cloth from the mouth of the staff member.
The staff member thought he had guessed that someone had been arrested, so he glanced at Gu Chengyu and said nothing.
Gu Chengyu took a look at the other person and found that this person was much more difficult to deal with than Guo Shi. This person was around forty, with two small mustaches on his mouth, and he was relatively calm at the moment.
"Mr. Shi, I must have brought you here. You should know our intention." Gu Chengyu still said in a low and hoarse voice.
Shi Bojun closed his eyes and spoke after a long while, "Don't waste your time. I won't tell you. My wife and children are still in the hands of the eldest prince."
Gu Chengyu took a deep breath, that's it. In fact, it would be safer for the eldest prince to kill Shibo County. Why not do it? Maybe this person still has some use to him.
Faced with such a tough guy, even if he was tortured, he would probably not say anything. Shibo County was robbed, and when he saw him, he didn't ask who he was from, and he didn't care about his situation. He dealt with him casually.
The appearance made Gu Chengyu unable to do anything.
Do we really need to use mantra powder this time? But this powder has a time limit. After three hours, the powder will lose its effectiveness.
"Where is your family being imprisoned? Can you rest assured if it is in the hands of the eldest prince? I think you understand the eldest prince's character. If you die and there is no use value, then there is no need for your family to exist.
.”
Although this tactic of threatening family members is despicable enough, it has proven successful time and time again. The ancients had a strong sense of family and valued their heirs more.
Shi Bojun raised his eyelids and seemed a little shaken. After a while, he returned to his calm state.
"As soon as you captured Guo Shi, he sent my family away. I don't know where they are. The eldest prince has promised me that as long as I don't betray him, he will treat me well even if I die.
Wife and children.”
Gu Chengyu felt that this person was much smarter than Guo Shi, and as soon as he was caught, he was sure that they were the ones who kidnapped Guo Shi.
Gu Chengyu frowned. Not long after they kidnapped Guo Shi, they monitored the eldest prince's mansion. If Shi Bojun's wife and children lived in the eldest prince's mansion, then maybe the people sent by Ming Yan would know about Shi Bo.
The whereabouts of the county's wife and children.
"Did your wife and children live in the eldest prince's residence before?"
Since staff members have to be available at any time, they usually live in the master's house, or not far from the master's house, so that they can discuss important matters with the master's family at any time.
"There is a Moon Gate next to the eldest prince's residence, and there is a small courtyard on the other side. Our family lives in that small courtyard."
Shi Bojun was a little hopeful. He looked at Gu Chengyu nervously.
Gu Chengyu finally saw a nervous expression on his face, which meant that he was not unwilling to speak, but he must not believe the eldest prince's promise. The main reason was to ensure the safety of his family, so that this person could write a confession.
Gu Chengyu looked at Ming Yan, Ming Yan nodded, and then went out. Gu Chengyu had asked them to keep an eye on the eldest prince's mansion. They must have seen the carriages coming in and out of the eldest prince's mansion, even those in the yard next door.
.
Ming Yan turned around and left the room, presumably to ask the person who was sent there.
Shi Bojun looked Gu Chengyu up and down. He was wondering whether this person could save his family? His family was in the hands of the eldest prince, so of course he was worried. If the eldest prince hadn't kept him useful, he would have killed him long ago.
Haven't you fallen in love with his ability to imitate other people's handwriting?
To say that we cannot keep him, we need to forge some evidence or letters. In order to eradicate the root cause, his wife and children will definitely not survive. However, I don’t know if I can believe the person in front of me.
"If you want me to explain these things, you have to show me my sincerity. I'll talk about it after I see my wife and children." He had already planned to send his wife and children back to his hometown after meeting his family. His wife and children didn't know that he
If these people were officials of the imperial court and wanted him to retract his confession, they would naturally not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
This was all he could do, and after this skill was exposed, he knew that one day he would get into trouble.
Gu Chengyu saw that he had made it clear that he did not want to talk before meeting his family, and would not interrogate him anymore. He planned to hand him over to Hu Maoshen directly. Anyway, he had already guessed about the eldest prince, and the staff might not know.
The whereabouts of the silver.
After Ming Yan rescued his wife and children, he packed them all up and gave them to Hu Maoshen. He had provided enough witnesses, and the next step was to record the confessions, and he had no intention of intervening.
As long as Hu Maoshen presents evidence and witnesses, the rest of the matter will have nothing to do with him.
Gu Chengyu had done so much, but he didn't expect to get any benefits from this matter. He had already told Hu Maoshen not to accuse him, just to mention his own merits. He has no foundation, and when the time comes the eldest prince will know that he is
Anyone who interferes with his good deeds may have the intention of killing him.
He didn't want to make enemies for himself before going to court.
"Sir! Song Shujing also fainted, what should I do?"
Kuang Zhaoying knew that nothing could be found out today. Naturally, these two people refused to admit to such a big crime. It seemed that they had to start from that list.
He looked at the lights around him and saw that it was getting late. He planned to ask the emperor for instructions early tomorrow morning to search all the candidates.
