Lucky's Rebirth

Chapter 58

Gu Shangshu's residence is naturally not an ordinary family.Whether it's picking up criminals, subpoenaing witnesses, or looking for evidence, it's not an ordinary yamen servant who can come to the door, even if Yang is just a concubine, she is also a member of the Gu family.

It was just to find a piece of evidence, or summon a person, and four people came, Dali Temple Counselor Zhao Ke, the supervisor's palace guard, and two yamen servants, it can be said that they gave enough face, the face is for the Gu family, and Not for Gu Tai.

Zhao Ke is a councilor of Dali Temple, he can be regarded as a son of an official, he has the same background, and he is also a scholar. Hearing the rumors that Gu Tai doted on his concubine and killed his wife, he is quite contemptuous of Gu Tai, especially the wife who was reconciled with him was ostracized by his son. to connect to Gu's house, but Gu Yu Shangshu didn't say a word.

Based on these two points, the rumors have not only been confirmed, but also intensified and become more and more unbearable.

Regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world, a person who can't even manage his family well, what do you expect him to do? .

What is a concubine?A concubine is in business, and the wife is the hostess of the family. For one thing, driving the women out of the family is not just unclear?Who dares to use you?Can the court use it?

Doting on concubines and destroying wives is the next crime.

Before he came to see Gu Tai, Zhao Ke thought that Gu Tai might be a drunkard who was dazed by beauty, but when he saw Gu Tai, Gu Tai had clear eyes, a tall and straight figure, handsome facial features, and a refined appearance. A good scholar, his eyes are not cloudy, his footsteps are not empty, his body is not fat, and he really doesn't want to look too drunk.

Face can be inherited, but eyes can't lie.

Zhao Ke felt disgusted with Gu Tai in his heart, seeing Gu Tai walk into the hall, put down the teacup in his hand, and stood up from the chair, "Second Master Gu, consult Zhao Ke at Xia Dali Temple."

"Lord Zhao." Gu Tai felt uncomfortable for a moment when he heard Zhao Ke call him the Second Master Gu. Your Excellency", the former is his background, the latter is his achievement, and at his age, some people call him "Second Master Gu". A disgraceful way to quit officialdom.

Forget it, at this point, there is no turning back. Now, he only hopes that all the sacrifices will be rewarded enough.

Gu Tai took the initiative to erase the regret in his heart, ignoring the grudges in his heart.

Zhao Ke explained the purpose of coming here, and described the appearance of the longevity lock, "Although the appearance of this longevity lock is no different from other longevity locks, the prefect of Yang should leave a message before the catastrophe."

Gu Tai pretended to be ecstatic when he heard the news for the first time, and immediately dispatched his servants, "Go and ask Aunt Yang to look through her dowry to see if there is any longevity lock, if so, immediately bring it here."

He didn't say death, but deliberately said dowry, reminding Zhao Ke that Yang was married.

Zhao Ke can also understand, because there is a possibility that the longevity of the Yang family will be locked by Aunt Yang, but it is not absolutely possible, so they are divided into two groups, he comes to Gu's house, and someone on the other side has already gone to find the son of the Yang family , He said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not easy to show your face as a female family member. My colleagues have already invited the male from the Yang family to take him to Dali Temple."

No matter whose longevity is locked in the hands of their brothers and sisters, it is more justifiable for the men of the Yang family to come forward. If there are men, naturally there is no need for the female relatives to come forward. The Yang family came here to take the Longevity Lock.

Gu Tai used the movement of drinking tea to cover the movements on his face. For them, Yang's elder brother came forward, which has both advantages and disadvantages. It's easy, he's not yet naive, Gu Changhua obeys his advice, and he can get the Longevity Lock from his hands with a high degree of certainty. Regarding the matter of the Bai family, he knew that Gu Changhua's wings were already hardened. No, presumably he couldn't go past Yang's elder brother and pursue Gu Yang.

And when the fraud happened, they were afraid that Yang's brother would tell the truth stupidly, as long as his words were not dead, they would have a chance to turn things around.

What they need now is time, they need time here, and the Yang family also needs time, at least until tomorrow.

The two chatted together, Gu Tai was "confused" or biased on Yang's body, but it cannot be denied that his IQ is not low, even if his IQ is low, it is impossible to be admitted to Jinshi, plus he has been an official for many years and has extensive knowledge, The elegant conversation made Zhao Ke feel more favorable towards him. He felt that the unbearable remarks from the outside world were exaggerated. I don’t know if what he said was true, but obscenity, indulgence, greed, and confusion are really not related to him. .

Not long after, I saw a young servant rushing to report, knelt on the ground, trembling, "Report...Second...Second Master, Second Madam...I fell down the stairs."

At the side, Zhao Ke almost choked on the tea in his mouth, "Second Madam?"

As far as he knew, the upright second wife of the Gu family had already reconciled. He hadn't heard that the Gu family had a happy event and welcomed another one in. Could it be the "concubine" who was rumored to favor concubines and destroy wives? The waiter was called the second wife, and Gu Tai was charged with spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife. Not only was he not wronged, but it was too light.

No wonder Zhao Ke is too scary, it is really Gu Tai who is too deceitful, if a dude dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, it is not surprising, but when a middle-level official with a clear mind dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, he is still in front of an official In front of her face, when she calls a concubine her wife, it is not only a rare occasion in a hundred years, but it is also a red rain.

Doting on a concubine and destroying a wife, taking a concubine as a wife, is a big crime. If the crime is confirmed, it is enough to make a first-rank official lose his position.

"What's wrong with the second lady? Tell me quickly?" Gu Tai's expression at this time was not pretending, he thought Yang was just pretending to be sick, and before he arrived, Yang was so willing to pay, he rolled down the stairs. And it wasn't a minor injury, nor was it a scratch, otherwise why was this boy so scared.

Being called the second wife by Gu Tai, Zhao Ke was shocked again, and he, an outsider, is here, okay?

Well, Gu Tai is no longer a man in the officialdom. It is almost exposed that he loves his concubine and kills his wife. With a concubine as his wife, the impeachment of the censor will not be the turn of an unofficial and unemployed person, but he is not afraid of implicating the family and being impeached by the censor. Impeaching Gu Yu is not strict in governing the family?

"Young one, I didn't go into the inner courtyard, but I heard from the nanny inside that the second lady hurt her head and shed a lot of blood."

The little servant was lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head. Now who in the whole family doesn't know Yang's Gu Tai's darling, and now that something happened to his darling, all the servants in the garden just pushed him, a helpless little servant, as a funeral the hapless ghost.

Gu Tai was about to burst into tears, and immediately raised his foot and kicked over, "Don't ask the doctor yet."

The moment Gu Tai stepped out, the servant fell down, rolled back a few steps, and crawled up, "Young one, I'm going to call the doctor."

Zhao Ke thought he could still be called calm, and was stunned by the scene in front of him. Strictly speaking, apart from the title of second wife, Gu Tai's behavior was not wrong. In the case of him as an outsider, it is indeed not wrong, at best, he has had a dry addiction.

But he was wrong, knowing that there were outsiders, Gu Tai still acted like this, or he couldn't help it.

So far because of a concubine's gaffe, can't help but treat him like no one?

It seems that there is some basis for rumors outside that Yang is a vixen who fascinated the second master of the Gu family so much.

However, gossip is gossip, Zhao Ke still did not forget his mission, "Second Master Gu, I wonder if the longevity lock of the Yang family has been found?"

Gu Tai's eyes were a little bloodshot. Hearing this, he pulled a forced smile, "Master Zhao, you saw it too. Mrs. Yang might have been too excited to hear the news at first, so she rolled down the stairs. The servant came to report just now, and she didn't know what to do." I don’t know if Mrs. Yang has been found, or I’ll go to the inner house to ask? Or I’ll let the servants search for it.”

What Gu Tai said was full of sincerity, he asked his servants to look for it, Zhao Ke was naturally embarrassed to say that he used my people to look for it, that was not a search, it was a search, and when he searched someone's inner house, he only ransacked the house, or he Can invite imperial decree.

Zhao Ke didn't have this authority, and the emperor would not give him this authority to search the house of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Besides, he didn't think there was anything tricky in it. The longevity lock is there, and if it is not, it is not there. You can't delay it. In time, you can grow wings and fly, and you can neither fly back nor fly out.

There is no doubt about the matter, except that Yang's injury is too good, "Second Master Gu, the matter is very important. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, delaying the progress of the case, and to make Yang recover as soon as possible, why don't you invite some imperial physicians?"

Zhao Ke stared at Gu Tai's eyes.

Gu Tai didn't change his face, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhao."

He was flustered just now, but now he understands, probably Yang has expected this moment, ordinary injuries can't be covered at all, and he can only delay time by spending a lot of money.

When Zhao Ke went to invite the imperial physician, Gu Tai had already pretended to find a servant, and searched for Yang's dowry, but it turned out that there was none.

Zhao Ke was disappointed, so he could only send someone to Dali Temple to report the situation here, and the people who came back also brought the situation there. The longevity lock was released, and the longevity lock of another Liu family orphan had arrived smoothly.

Now that three are missing and one is missing, Zhao Ke definitely has a greater responsibility on himself.

Gu Tai had already figured out that Yang's fake show was real, but he didn't want it, Yang's blood would be so heavy, Gu Tai was placed on Yang's bed, her head was wrapped in thick gauze, The gauze was stained red, the lips were bloodless, and there were cut wounds on the face.

The waiter said carefully: "Second Madam fell from the second floor and knocked her head on the vase shelf next to the stairs, and then was hit on the head by the falling vase."

That's how it came to be.

"How do you serve me?" Gu Tai roared in a low voice.

The imperial doctor didn't bother to take care of the Gu family's housework. He had to figure out when Yang would wake up. He went forward and put his hand on Yang's wrist, which was wrapped in a handkerchief. eyelids.

A few needles were stuck in Yang's body, but Yang didn't respond, and then the imperial doctor shook his head.

"What's the problem?" Seeing the imperial physician's expression, Gu Tai turned pale with shock, but Gu Changhua didn't know what's going on here, so he just involved Yang.

"People don't have to worry." If he couldn't die, the imperial doctor stuck a few more needles in Yang's brain, but Yang didn't even move his fingers. "It's just that I don't know when I will wake up. It will take at least a day."

He shook his head because of this, after all, many people outside are waiting, do your best, the imperial physician wrote a prescription.

Gu Tai personally sent the imperial physician out of the inner house, while Zhao Ke was still waiting in the front hall. Seeing the imperial physician shaking his head and nodding at him, he knew what was going on inside. The nodding was because of Yang's situation, and the shaking of his head was because of the imperial physician's inability to wake up Yang immediately. .

"Master Gu, please wait for someone to wake up, and send someone to Dali Temple to say something." Since there is no trouble, and Yang's life is not in danger, he can only wait.

Gu Tai nodded, he sat in the front hall for a while, guessing that Zhao Ke had gone far, opened his eyes, got up, asked someone to prepare the car, left the Gu residence, and went straight to the Gu residence.

Since Yang paid such a high price, no matter what, he must let her open her eyes and see that things are as she wished.

Even if forced by death, Gu Changhua must give in.

Yang's actions intensified Gu Tai's determination.
