Ying Xuan met Gu Chengyu who was walking quickly. Judging from his dress and bookish attitude, he thought it must be Gu Chengyu.
"Stop! But Gu Chengyu?"
Gu Chengyu stood not far away from a few people, "That's right!"
When Ying Xuan saw that he had admitted, he quickly called for people to arrest Gu Chengyu.
When Jiang Shaohua saw that Ying Xuan ordered the people to take out all the chains, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Wait a minute! This thing is no longer needed. Gu Chengyu is still under review. It is not appropriate to use this."
Ying Xuan glanced at Jiang Shaohua and felt very strange. Could it be that there was someone behind Gu Chengyu?
However, this is common in official circles. Since the Shangguan has spoken, there is no need for him to be such a villain.
Gu Chengyu looked at Jiang Shaohua. He had never seen this man before, and he didn't know who ordered him to take such good care of him.
Two soldiers grabbed Gu Chengyu's arms and took him aside. Gu Chengyu watched coldly as these people searched everywhere. The women in the mansion were frightened and screamed, while the concierge was trembling with fear.
Li Zhuang and the others stood aside in silence. The search did not take long, only more than half an hour. In fact, Gu Chengyu and the others had already hidden all the valuables, and there was nothing to search in the house.
Finally, more than a hundred soldiers returned to the front yard. Gu Chengyu noticed with sharp eyes that some soldiers had a bulge in their chests. "Two adults, I have found no evidence related to the fraud case in my humble position."
Ying Xuan nodded, "Master Jiang, in this case, is this person imprisoned in Dali Temple or not?"
Gu Chengyu was taken away by people from the Military and Horse Division. He was very cooperative and did not complain, which made Ying Xuan and others very surprised. They had never seen such a calm prisoner. Is he sure that he would be fine after entering the cell?
The doors of the two houses next door were closed, and no one came out to see such a big movement.
Gu Chengyu had written the letter a long time ago and left it with Ming Mo. When his second sister knew the news, she would definitely come to the house to find him. She would understand after reading the letter.
Sitting on the haystack in the prison, Gu Chengyu did not expect that he had just watched others lying in there last night, and today it would be his turn.
However, this time it was not a prison cell, but an ordinary cell. When he came in, he had already seen that compared to the guards in the prison cell, the guards in this cell could be said to be very lax.
There was a musty smell in the prison, and Gu Chengyu even saw a rat running around the corner. Two people had just been locked up in the next two cells. Gu Chengyu looked at their clothes and found that they should be candidates like him.
"Why are you arresting us? I didn't cheat. It's unfair!"
Gu Chengyu rubbed his temples. This man had been shouting about injustice since he was arrested. It was almost half a stick of incense now. He started shouting loudly after a while, which made Gu Chengyu's head hurt.
Gu Chengyu wanted to persuade him to save his energy, but he cried out that he was thirsty. The guards guarding them would not give him water.
"What are you arguing about? If you make any more noise, you will be punished." The officer couldn't bear the sound of the devil's voice piercing his head and scolded him fiercely.
"I have been wronged, and I want to see you sir. I am a disciple of the emperor, and I will be an official after passing the palace examination. Do you dare to torture me?" The man did not speak at first. He must have been frightened by the guards just now.
Who would have thought, not long after, he actually said this. Gu Chengyu even suspected that he was stupid in studying. Those who could enter this cell were all with shallow foundations. Those sons of aristocratic families would not come in at all. Most of them were doing searches in the house.
At that time, the suspicion was cleared.
After they entered here, if they could prove their innocence, they would naturally be able to take part in the palace examination. But they were afraid that they would not be able to get out after they entered.
Gu Chengyu thought about it, hoping that Hu Maoqing would move faster. No one would want to come in this damn cell. Thinking that he would have to stay for at least two days, Gu Chengyu felt that he was hopeless.
In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't know that the emperor had asked him about it that morning, and Kuang Zhaoying was going to ask him a few questions and go through the motions before letting him go. There was no way, the emperor praised him for his well-written article, and you still said he was cheating.
Isn't it a slap in the emperor's face?
Originally, he wanted to be like those sons of aristocratic families, and just ask a few questions in the mansion without being escorted back to prison. However, Gu Chengyu was the number one after all, and if he was not arrested, it would be difficult to convince the public.
After a while, the cell door opened again, and Gu Chengyu saw Min Feng being locked up in the cell opposite. He was a little surprised. Isn't Kuang Zhaoying afraid of offending Xia Qing?
Min Feng didn't feel strange at all when he saw Gu Chengyu. He already knew the ranking of the test, and Gu Chengyu was the first. However, Min Feng came in just for a show, and he would be let out in less than a day.
Yin Kun was very worried when he knew that Gu Chengyu was in prison. As soon as he came down from court, he sent someone to Dali Temple to clear up the relationship and save Gu Chengyu from suffering.
Although Gu Chengyu said there was a way and he would be out in two days, he was still worried that Gu Chengyu would be tortured in prison.
"Senior Brother Sun, it's bad! Chengyu has been arrested and put in jail." Ye Zhiqiu had already heard that only three of the top twenty candidates were not arrested, while the others were all put in cells.
Word had spread on the street. Gu Chengyu had a very good reputation before, and the news of his arrest spread quickly.
Sun Xian did not go out on the street early this morning. He went to Gu Chengyu's house yesterday. Gu Chengyu also told him that his senior brother would help. Unexpectedly, he heard the news of being arrested today.
Gu Wan was playing in the yard with her little bun. When she heard the news, she almost fainted.
"What did you say? Xiaobao was caught? How could it be? Didn't he tell me before that he would only retake the exam once at most?"
Gu Wan still finds it unbelievable. She still doesn't understand the darkness in the officialdom. She only firmly believes that Xiaobao will not cheat. Therefore, she did not think about this matter too seriously before.
When she thought of Xiaobao going to prison, Gu Wan felt that the sky was about to collapse. She burst into tears and began to feel at a loss.
"Brother Xian, don't you know a few officials' children? Why don't you go and beg them for mercy! Nothing can happen to Xiaobao!"
Siblings who have been together for more than ten years, even when they were young, they envied her brother for being favored by his parents, but she always remembered Xiaobao's kindness to her.
Now that Xiaobao was in jail, she had to find a way to save him no matter what. Gu Wan hated the imperial examination for the first time in her heart. If Xiaobao had not participated in the imperial examination and thought about becoming an official, he would not have caused today's disaster.
Sun Xian smiled bitterly, and he would go back and save him if he could. But it was useless to beg anyone for this matter. As for Zhu Pang and the others, if they had a way, Gu Chengyu would not be captured.
Sun Xian thought of Gu Chengyu's senior brothers and the others, thinking that it was better to go than not to go, and just hoped that they could help.
"Then you take out everything at home and ask for help. How can you do it without money?"
"Hey!" Gu Wan didn't even have time to wipe the tears on her face, and hurried into the main room, planning to take out all the money at home.
