"Alas! His brother-in-law often exchanges letters with him, and they have a good relationship. Originally, this brother-in-law made a mistake, which was not a heinous crime, so there is no need to implicate Academician Fang. It is a pity that the dowry shop under the name of Mrs. Academician Fang
, the business there is involved in disputes with Huang Guanfen’s wife.”
When Zhang Hai said this, Gu Chengyu understood.
There is business between the two families, but the business is definitely not a legitimate business, or the origin of the business is improper.
No matter what it is, Fang Huai must have been implicated by his wife.
Maybe Fang Huai knew about it, so it wouldn't be unfair. And if he said he didn't know about it at all, it's definitely impossible.
Fang Huai came from a farming and studying family, and his family was relatively well-off. But it was certainly far from Zhongmingdingshi, and it was definitely possible to be tempted by those benefits.
Although Fang Huai has an upright appearance and a more upright temperament, as the saying goes, he knows people but doesn't know his heart.
Then Liao Cheng, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, isn't he the kind of person who looks upright? But what about inside?
Isn’t it full of calculations? The n of rights is not small at all.
Besides, after staying in official circles for a long time, how can anyone not be tempted by power and interests? People change!
After Gu Chengyu analyzed this matter, he became a little strange.
His relationship with Zhang Hai was not good enough to allow him to casually chat about the disputes between colleagues and superiors, not to mention that Fang Huai had not been dismissed from his post at this time!
"Xiaoguan is familiar with Lord Fang. He was Xiaguan's rural examination tutor before. Xiaguan sees that Lord Fang has an upright temperament, so I'm afraid his brother-in-law may have been involved in this matter."
Gu Chengyu picked up the nice words and said a few words. He must be in a state of distress now. There was no need for him to add insult to injury behind his back and make random remarks about his right and wrong.
"Well! I have served as an official in the Hanlin Academy with Bachelor Fang for many years, and I still know his character. But now that he has been implicated, it may not be easy for him to escape. Judging from the emperor's actions this time, he may have
I'm really angry. There was a lot of anger in the court today, and the officials related to the Hejian Mansion case must be severely punished."
Zhang Hai glanced at Gu Chengyu, with a rather solemn expression on his face.
Gu Chengyu nodded in understanding, didn't he? In order to clear the obstacles for the prince, the emperor would have to use the Hejian Mansion case to trigger the incident!
Otherwise, where would the emperor find such a good reason to sort out those messy party relationships?
"Then it depends on how deep the entanglement between Mr. Fang's wife and the Huang family is. I hope Mr. Fang can avert the danger!"
Gu Chengyu said this, but he was sure in his heart that the emperor would make such a big move. Even if it was just a small mistake, you would not be able to escape the consequences of losing your hat.
Then, he thought about the emperor's promise to him for promotion. If Fang Huai really lost his official title, wouldn't there be another vacancy in the Hanlin Academy?
It’s so sleepy that I’ve come to sleep on my pillow!
Cough! It doesn’t seem good to think so.
Fang Huai had a good impression on Gu Chengyu at first, but now he felt quite guilty.
Gu Chengyu sighed, and in Zhang Hai's opinion, it seemed as if he was feeling sorry for Mr. Fang.
But Gu Chengyu was wondering if he should find an opportunity to remind the emperor? Don't forget about his promotion.
"If Academician Fang cannot escape this disaster, then the position of Academician Attendant Lecturer will be vacant."
Zhang Hai looked at the expression on Gu Chengyu's face and said slowly.
"This shouldn't be serious, right? Maybe Mr. Fang is just a false alarm? The emperor may look at Mr. Fang for his hard work every day, and maybe he will be lenient."
Although Gu Chengyu has set his sights on the position of serving as bachelor's lecturer, he must not say this.
They are still sitting in their seats! If he said this behind his back, it might reach their ears.
But what does Zhang Hai mean by bringing this up now? Could it be that he is optimistic about himself, so he wants to give himself a warning?
After coming out of Zhang Hai's place, Gu Chengyu had just returned to the office when Qiu Yifan came over mysteriously.
"Jin Yu! I heard that Mr. Fang has been arrested and taken into Dali Temple. Officials from the Military and Horse Department have already gone to search the mansion."
This is what happened just now, and it has already spread throughout the Imperial Academy.
"What? So fast?"
Gu Chengyu didn't pretend to be unaware of this matter. After all, everyone knew something, and if he knew nothing about it, he would appear to be helpless and too ignorant.
Qiu Yifan nodded deeply, "Yes! I didn't expect Mr. Fang to be really implicated this time. Alas! It's a pity that Mr. Fang has been in the Hanlin Academy for so long. Maybe he can be upgraded and transferred in the next two years.
It is also possible to join the cabinet."
Qiu Yifan picked up the tea bowl and looked at Gu Chengyu with a somewhat complicated look.
Fang Huai was a member of the northern faction officials and had always been at odds with Xia Shoufu's southern faction.
If something happens to him this time, those southern officials will definitely add insult to injury, and it will be difficult for Fang Huai to stand up.
As soon as Fang Huai left, the seat of the lecturer became vacant.
He and Gu Chengyu were both ministers of the Hanlin Academy, and there were two other ministers, so they were one of the candidates for the bachelor's degree.
Needless to say, the qualifications of him and the other two ministers, after so many years, even if there is no credit, there is still hard work, right?
And how long has it been since Gu Chengyu was promoted? It’s impossible to be promoted again, right?
Therefore, Qiu Yifan was very interested in the position of serving as a lecturer, and he even thought that he was bound to get it.
His father-in-law was Bian Shengrong, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he had the eldest prince behind him.
This time the eldest prince was assassinated, and the emperor felt very distressed. In addition, the eldest prince was one of the most popular candidates as he was about to be appointed crown prince.
Thinking about it this way, he really has great hope for the position of bachelor's lecturer!
No, he had to go back and have a serious discussion with his father-in-law after leaving his job, and he couldn't let Gu Chengyu get in first.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted enthusiastically, but each had their own thoughts and tested each other.
Gu Chengyu sat in the carriage, rubbing his sore forehead, and ordered: "Go to Yuanxiang Tea House and enter through the corner door in the backyard."
He had a verbal confrontation with Qiu Yifan until he resigned, and he had to admit that Qiu Yifan was a scheming person.
Two of the three sentences are testing and clichés. These two steps are full of traps. The clichés are really strong!
"Yes, sir!"
Yuanxiang Teahouse is Gu Chengyu's property. There are many tea trees in his space, and the tea inside is the signature of Yuanxiang Teahouse.
Gu Chengyu also left a secret private room in the teahouse, which contained a secret passage. This was specially built by Gu Chengyu during the renovation.
"Then you mean to say that Mr. Gu agreed?" Yao Mengxian was a little surprised.
"Indeed! Now it's up to you. Sister Xian! Jin Yu has a calm temperament, and his ability goes without saying. And he is well-behaved, yet tactful. More importantly, he values friendship. If you betrothed to him,
I won’t worry about you having trouble in the future.” 11
