[Two hundred and fifty] Gu's death
Chen Youzhi became more and more angry, his face flushed, and he was extremely angry: "What is even more shameful is that after all the bad deeds, this person actually pretended to uphold justice for Brother Lu and won the followers and loves of scholars all over the world. He had known for a long time that the late emperor and your father wanted to conspire to design a wrongful harm to the Lu family, but he pretended not to know, and gave alms and frivolous food in his false righteousness, but secretly added fuel to the fire, causing all the old friends to die in that man-made disaster. Afterwards, he quietly gave those who had a glimmer of life to escape... It can be said that it was extremely sinister!"
After hearing these words, everyone felt frightened and the coldness broke through their bones.
Jiang Chengjia stared straight, feeling shocked: "The truth of that time... is so ridiculous?"
Ning Nanyou no longer knew what to say. At this moment, he lowered his head weakly, and the light in his eyes became dim and scattered.
Dou Yueshan said angrily: "I didn't expect... His Majesty the Emperor looked like he was kind and self-reliant on the surface, but he was indeed such a villain behind his back?"
Chen Youzhi took a deep breath: "The emperor and Ning Zheng are birds of a feather, and they are just as disgusting. However, he pretended too well, and almost no one in the world knew about the evil things he did. If I hadn't been digging deep for many years with a trace of intuition, I wouldn't have known his true face."
Ning Nanyou was silent for a while and suddenly burst into laughter.
Chen Youzhi looked at him, and saw his dejected look, frowned, endured the pain in his heart, and said, "The Lord Jun should have planned to ask the emperor for peace after completely overthrowing Deng's family, discuss with him the plan to deal with the Regent Huai Palace... right?"
He hit the young man's heart and stabbed him hard there: "If I hadn't come to tell you today, you might have written a secret message to the emperor after returning from Liangzhou, right?"
Ning Nanyou smiled faintly and said bitterly: "Sir, I really understand me... Yes, I do think so. If it weren't for Mr. telling me about this, I really plan to make a secret peace with the emperor."
Chen Youzhi relaxed his breath and nodded, "Fortunately, I came not too late. I stopped the plan of the Lord... Otherwise, once Lord gave the emperor a trump card, this person would definitely make secret plans and frame you. If at that time... then I will die thousands of times and will no longer have the shame to go downstairs to see my old friend."
Ning Nanyouyi sat on the cushion, his whole body was already in a shaky state. He said in a daze: "I made you laugh. I don't know what I have been investigating over the years. I didn't know at all that there were other promoters behind the scenes of the bloody case, and I thought that my father and the late emperor were the culprits."
He was very depressed and murmured to himself: "Do you think I... is stupid? You even want to cooperate with that thief, and you almost missed the big thing."
Jiang Chengjia looked at him in a voice, and her heart felt like a cracked pain. But due to Master Chen, she could not get close to him immediately. She wanted to hug him immediately, hugged him tightly, and comforted him, telling him that he had done well enough. Emperor Wei pretended so well that he almost hid people all over the world, and even she didn't know that these bloody and dark things had happened. She looked at the young man hanging his head very low, and her whole body seemed to have been pulled away from his vitality, and she was so angry that she was depressed.
Chen Youzhi said: "It's not your fault, my child. Even I have been investigating for so many years and deliberately putting countless spies in the palace to discover this matter. Back then, after the Chang Mengjun case, didn't the emperor help you secretly investigate the truth of the case? You were so young at that time, and the emperor gave up the face of the Eastern Palace to help you. No wonder you think he was still concerned about the friendship between teachers and students for Brother Lu. Who would have thought that... the emperor was so careful and he was such a thing."
He tried his best to comfort Ning Nanyou, hoping to relieve him, but the young man in front of him could not listen.
Chen Youzhi said again: "I know that it is difficult for the king to accept this matter for a while. If you are ready, I have more important things to continue to talk to you."
Ning Nanyou sat silently without responding. Jiang Chengjia looked at him and couldn't bear it, so he said to Chen Youzhi: "Master... This is the time when you are reunited by teachers and students. I shouldn't have interrupted, but... what you said today is too shocked and complicated. Can you allow the Lord to take a moment to take a rest and discuss the next thing?"
Chen Youzhi was stunned and looked at Ning Nanyou hesitantly, and was a little panicked for a moment. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the young man like this, but he knew that he could only stay here for one night. After one night, he had to rush back to Changshan Marquis' Mansion immediately. He might be discovered by Ning Nankun and Ning Zheng a little later. So, he wanted to say everything he knew as soon as possible.
Just as the old master was considering Jiang Chengjia's words and hesitating whether to continue speaking, he heard Ning Nanyou barely support his body and said weakly: "A Luo, don't be rude to the Master."
The young man looked at Chen Youzhi, endured the many discomforts in his heart, bowed respectfully and said: "Sir, please continue to say it, I can persist."
Chen Youzhi stared at him, nodded deeply, and continued: "This... there is another thing... I might have to trouble Mrs. Hou to bring the young Zhuying Guard beside you. Because what I want to say next is closely related to him."
Jiang Chengjia was stunned and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in a daze. He frowned involuntarily and asked tentatively: "What the Master wants to say...is it the truth of Mrs. Gu's death?"
Chen Youzhi nodded and affirmed her guess: "Yes. It's exactly this."
Jiang Chengjia trembled, lowered her eyes, her face became more depressed. She turned her eyes and thought for a moment, and replied softly: "Okay, I understand. Please wait for the master, and I will bring him here."
She then stood up and went to the outside of the screen. The little sentry guarding the door saw her at this moment, completely changed her previous attitude, opened the door for her respectfully, and said politely: "Madam, go slowly."
At this moment, the little sentry only realized A Xiu's true identity, and a sense of respect suddenly arose in his heart. Naturally, he did not dare to be as contemptuous and rude as before.
Jiang Chengjia nodded, stepped out the door, sneaked into the darkness alone, and ran to the wing where Zhuying lived. After about a cup of tea, she led Zhuying back to the house and took him into the screen.
Chen Youzhi's eyes kept spinning on Zhuying's body, as if he couldn't see enough, looking at him up and down. For a moment, the eyes that had already faded their redness surged up again and became wet.
He took a deep breath, brewed and shouted, "Native, you have suffered over the years."
Zhuying was surprised when he heard his words calling him, and immediately looked at Jiang Chengjia, his eyes full of questions.
The girl patted his shoulder and explained to him: "This is your father's old friend. Mr. Shen, Chen Youzhi, you should call him Uncle."
Zhuying was stunned and panicked at Chen Youzhi's eyes, and thousands of words surged in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it. Finally, he shouted in a depressed voice: "Chen, Uncle Shi..."
Chen Youzhi nodded frequently, with tears in his eyes, and said happily: "It's great, very good... Fortunately, a trace of Brother Lu's bloodline is still preserved in the world, which is also a little comfort for me."
After saying this, he immediately turned his head to face the girl, stood up, saluted and bowed to her solemnly, and said, "I thank you Mrs. Hou for saving my nephew for the life-saving grace! I thank you very much!"
He finished his voice and wanted to bow his head and bow. Jiang Chengjia was so scared that he quickly supported him and said in a hurry: "Mr. Shen, be kind... This is a coincidence, which means that Master Lu is protecting him in heaven... so that Zhuying can survive safely and grow up healthily. In fact, I... I didn't do anything, and I would never dare to bow to you like such a big gift."
Master Chen looked at the girl with gratitude: "Although it is a coincidence, if I had not had the kindness of the Shui Pavilion to save me, my nephew would not have the same life as I am. Please accept my husband's greeting. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."
He insisted on thanking her, but Jiang Chengjia could not stop her and looked at Ning Nanyou for help. Unexpectedly, the man nodded at her and signaled her to accept Mr. Shen's greeting. So Jiang Chengjia froze awkwardly and was very uneasy to accept Chen Youzhi's bow.
Chen Youzhi's courtesy was extremely polite, and he knocked deeply on the ground, and it took a long time to get up. Jiang Chengjia immediately bowed to him and bowed.
The two of them returned to their positions. Jiang Chengjia pulled Zhuying and sat down together, and the four of them sat around the desk and sat in a circle.
Chen Youzhi said: "It's been so many years since I saw my original face, and I'm really ashamed."
"At that time, Mrs. Gu was kidnapped by the bandits and left Wuling... It's a pity. Now I think about it, it's really a pity. Brother Lu lost his wife and son, and his life was a messy defeat during that period, which makes people feel distressed. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have lost his mind. He believed the words of the Nanyang Princess, was anxious to find the king and the lord, and accidentally fell into the trap set by the Regent King Huai and the late emperor..."
"Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu's death was also a carefully planned conspiracy. The culprit of this conspiracy was the head of the Fu family who had been with Mrs. Gu since childhood, the former Sikong - Fu Bo."
Jiang Chengjia said in surprise: "Mrs. Gu, did he really die at the hands of Fu Bo?"
Chen Youzhi heard her words and asked, "It seems that Mrs. Hou has also noticed this matter over the years?"
Jiang Chengjia looked up and nodded, "I and the Lord accidentally discovered... Fu Bo once asked the corrupt official Song Zong to slaughter a village in private. A couple in this village had something to do with the group of horse bandits who kidnapped Mrs. Gu back then, which implicated the people in the entire village and caused many innocent people to die."
