Guo Moruo heard the sound and looked towards Gu Chengyu. Although the other person deliberately lowered his voice, she could still tell that this person must be young.
"The little girl Guo Shi has met her benefactor."
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "Did your grandfather tell you the truth?"
Since he is called benefactor, he must know a lot about this matter. It seems that this woman is not as weak as she appears.
Also, the person that Mr. Guo can select and protect is not that ordinary person.
Gu Chengyu still admired Mr. Guo's wisdom. He must have known that his son would not listen to advice and insisted on going his own way, so he made preparations early.
Tonight, he will definitely not return without success.
"Since Miss Guo already knows the ins and outs of the matter, let's just say it frankly! What's the point of asking me to come over, Miss Guo?"
Guo Moruo seemed to be thinking about the Guo Mansion again, his expression was sad, and he was holding back tears.
"My benefactor has met my father before, right? I guess you didn't get any important clues except for the fraud case in my father's hands."
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard this. This girl knows a lot! Who told her this?
It couldn't be Guo Shi, because after Guo Shi was captured by him, he was handed over to Hu Maoshen and had no chance to contact his family. The only candidate was Old Mrs. Guo.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but become interested. He didn't know what important information Mr. Guo left behind.
"What the girl said is true."
Guo Moruo glanced at Gu Chengyu, then pursed his lips, "It's understandable to leave those clues to my benefactor, but the little girl has something to ask for. This is what my grandfather ordered before our siblings left."
Of course, Guo Moruo would not hand over those letters to this person easily. Their brother and sister were now helpless.
Although she couldn't leave the yard and had no way of knowing the family's current situation, there was no need to think about it. If her father did such a wrong thing, it would be very possible for the whole family to be executed.
Besides, her grandfather once told her that in the game of officialdom, who cares whether you are unjustly accused or if it is true? As long as it can pull you down, there is really no limit to what can be done.
Her father is involved in this, so he is naturally unavoidable. This time, she can only blame her father for being too eager for quick success and becoming a chess piece for others, or a chess piece that is thrown away after use. What's more, she blames her father for destroying his conscience and having no bottom line.
, ultimately harming others and yourself.
It's just that my family has been affected, and I don't know what happened to my mother and grandfather. I'm afraid they may never see each other again in this life.
Guo Moruo's face was pale and she clenched her hands. Her two younger brothers were Guo's hope. She had to protect her younger brothers when they grew up. Nothing would happen to them.
As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the house, he didn't see the other two babies. He thought they were asleep. This request must be to take care of their siblings, right?
Guo Shi's situation is different from that of Wan Xuenian and others. Wan Xuenian and others were wronged. If sufficient evidence is obtained, it is not impossible to reverse the case in the future.
In fact, the evidence is now conclusive, but the emperor is protecting it, and others are helpless. They can only wait for the future and look for opportunities.
Guo Shi's charges were real. His accusation that the two adults were involved in the fraud case was true, but he was not unjustly accused.
Therefore, Guo Moruo's request was definitely not to overturn the case, so the only thing left to do was to take care of their siblings. Gu Chengyu originally planned to send them to a place far away from the capital, so he kept his promise.
If you want to take something from the little girl's hand now, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble in the future.
"Girl, you might as well come and listen."
Guo Moruo was a little uneasy. She also knew that their siblings were a problem. Taking care of them was not just for words. They were the family members of the prisoners. If they wanted to live incognito, they would have to open a new account. This was a problem.
Besides, the crime of harboring the family members of criminal officials will always hang over our heads, lest anyone discover it in the future.
But she herself is still young, not to mention her two younger brothers. Even if they go to remote mountain cols in the future, it will be difficult to survive. One is that they have no household registration certificate and road guide, and the other is that they are easily bullied.
After thinking for a long time, she said, "Please ask my benefactor to take care of our siblings for ten years. It only takes ten years."
After ten years, Brother Lian will be old enough to be able to stand alone and support a family.
Of course Gu Chengyu was not surprised by this request, but ten years was too long. These three siblings were a big burden, so it was up to Guo Moruo to see if what he offered was worth it.
"This depends on Miss Guo's sincerity."
Guo Moruo said nothing and took out a letter from his arms. The new cover was blank and the seal was open. It seemed that this was written by Mr. Guo and was the last trump card left for the Guo family.
Mingmo stepped forward and took it from Guo Moruo, and then handed it to Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu took it and pulled the letter paper out of the envelope. The paper was very thin, so he opened it and read it quickly.
When Guo Moruo took the envelope from Gu Chengyu, she noticed Gu Chengyu's hands. They were a pair of white and slender hands. She was sure that this person was not a military commander, but rather a scholar.
The letter was written by Mrs. Guo. It described all the processes of Guo Shi's contact with the mysterious person, and also made some analysis. In the end, Mrs. Guo came to the conclusion that this person was probably the powerful Xia Qing.
Of course, there was no evidence to prove it. It was just a guess, but Gu Chengyu thought it was very possible. Finally, he wrote the most crucial paragraph at the end of the letter. Mr. Guo once met Xia Qing and the fourth prince in private.
That was two years ago. After that, Mrs. Guo sent people to check Xia Qing and the Fourth Prince to see if they had colluded.
But until his death, Mr. Guo did not find out the reason, but he had no doubts about his judgment.
That means the fourth prince and Xia Qing have been colluding together a long time ago.
The fourth prince did not leave the residence and only went to court for about one month a year. On the surface, it seemed that he had little contact with Xia Qing. However, this did not hinder Mr. Guo's judgment. He only never mentioned this matter to Guo Shi.
Of course he knew his son's nature, he was impulsive and greedy, but he was easily deceived, so Mr. Guo had kept it a secret until now.
Gu Chengyu put down the paper and his thoughts changed in his mind. He felt that Mr. Guo's judgment was correct or not. However, this could not be verified yet and would have to be carefully observed in the future.
Based on Xia Qing's private meeting with the fourth prince, it can be concluded that the relationship between the two is definitely not what it seems on the surface. But he does not believe that the two are close allies, grasshoppers on a rope.
How cunning is Xia Qing? Needless to say about the situation of the fourth prince, will Xia Qing fall in love with the fourth prince? Even if he wants to make a desperate move to obtain the power of Conglong, it is impossible for him to tie himself to the fourth prince's boat.
, these can be seen from his attitude.
Gu Chengyu had never met the fourth prince, so he could only guess in his mind. Anyway, there were only two possibilities.
