Chapter 168 You Don’t Understand the Joy of Arguing…
fragrance?
Could it be Chen Yu?
Gu Jingzhi shook his head.
It seems that Chen Yu didn't use rouge or powder or anything like that.
Seeing Gu Jingzhi shaking his head, Tao'er asked with a fierce face: "Master, did you go out to have fun last night?"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched, and he reached out to press her little head and pushed her away: "Go away, go away, what are you talking about, the Chen family is eager to kill me, and what fragrance, it must be your hallucinations from not sleeping all night!"
Hallucination?
Tao'er was a little confused. Was it really because she hadn't slept all night and was hallucinating?
Gu Jingzhi took advantage of the girl's confusion and walked slowly to the bed. Jian'er came over with a smile and helped Gu Jingzhi take off his outer robe.
Sensing a faint fragrance being inhaled into his nose, he just smiled mysteriously and hung Gu Jingzhi's outer robe aside.
After taking off his outer robe, Gu Jingzhi dived into bed.
This night was simply too tiring. Even though he was a peak Dark Realm warrior, his physique was almost drained. And this woman, Chen Yu...
Excellent!
Seeing that Gu Jingzhi had already crawled into the bed, Tao'er took two steps forward and said in a daze: "This is not an illusion..."
Seeing the girl's dazed look, Jian'er stepped forward and pulled her back: "Alright, I just smelled it, the master doesn't have any smell. Let's go down and rest!"
Having said that, without waiting for Tao'er to react, she pulled her away.
After watching his two maids leave, Gu Jingzhi lifted the quilt, grabbed his clothes and smelled them.
Emmm...
It does have a nice scent!
……
After sleeping until noon, Gu Jingzhi got up and stretched.
After getting dressed and washing up, Jian'er came over and said softly, "Master, the Jiang official just came and said he has something important to discuss with you!"
"Find me?"
Gu Jingzhi's heart moved, and he probably knew what was going on. He said, "Go and call him over!"
"promise!"
Jian'er bowed slightly and then stepped out.
Not long after, Jiang Feng followed Jian'er to Gu Jingzhi's residence. Seeing Jiang Feng's arrival, he said directly: "Jian'er said you have something to report?"
"Yes, my Lord!"
Jiang Feng bowed and said, "The Jingzhao Yinfu just sent someone to pass on a message, saying that you must appear in court after noon!"
Ah……
Gu Jingzhi was so happy that his heart was filled with joy. Chen Ru actually went to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
As for the Jingzhao Yin, it was naturally just a formality.
The rank of Jingzhao Yin was equal to his, and since the Dali Temple was in charge of reviewing cases throughout the country, Jingzhao Yin naturally had no qualifications to try him.
This is just a formality.
If he pleads guilty, the case will naturally be transferred to the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. If he denies, it will naturally be submitted to a higher-level department, which is the Ministry of Justice.
Gu Jingzhi waved his sleeves and said, "I already know about this matter. You can go down first!"
Jiang Feng bowed slightly, then slowly retreated.
As soon as he left, Tao'er ran out and said, "Master, why did the Jingzhao Yinfu ask you to come before the court? What happened?"
Jian'er also looked at Gu Jingzhi with her beautiful eyes, with some worry in them.
Although she was just a courtesan before, compared to Taoer, she was not as simple as people thought.
The hint of fragrance that Gu Jingzhi brought with him when he came back, the banquet he attended at Chen's house last night, and the interrogation by Jingzhao Yin today... It would be a lie to say that all these are unrelated!
Could it be that my master is in trouble?
Gu Jingzhi glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "It's just some official business, nothing serious!"
"Ow..."
Tao'er cried out and didn't say anything else, but Jian'er's doubts became even stronger.
This discussion of official business... how could there be a trial? And what Jiang Guanjia said just now...
Go to court at the specified time.
This is not a matter of official business. The Jingzhao Yin is on the same level as the master. Even if it is to discuss official business, he has to be invited!
This attitude is not like that!
Jingzhao Yin Li Moxue came from a noble family and was from the same clan as Li Chun.
It is now widely rumored that the reason why Li Chun, the Minister of Justice, was demoted was due to his own master. This means that the two families have an irreconcilable conflict.
Nothing will happen to the master, right?
Gu Jingzhi had no idea what the courtesan maid was thinking. After a simple lunch, he got up and prepared to go to Jingzhao Yin.
"Lord……"
Jian'er suddenly called out, and Gu Jingzhi turned around: "What's the matter?"
"No, no..."
Jian'er shook her head and finally said, "Master, please come back soon after you finish your work!"
After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi suddenly understood. It seemed that this girl had guessed something!
He smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
……
After Gu Jingzhi arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, he saw Chen Ru sitting aside in the hall, Chen Yu kneeling on the ground, and several people dressed like servants standing behind Chen Ru.
They were the same people who had followed in to catch the adulterer in the morning!
Gu Jingzhi walked into the lobby with a smile on his face. He didn't look at Chen Yu, but instead looked at Chen Ru with a smile.
"Patriarch Chen arrived early. It seems he can't wait to send me to jail!"
"Humph!"
Chen Ru snorted coldly and said, "This clan leader is not as lazy as Lord Gu. He has been waiting for an hour!"
"An hour?"
He subconsciously looked towards Chen Yu, only to see that the girl was kneeling on the ground, her legs trembling.
Thinking of the tenderness of last night, Gu Jingzhi felt a pain in his heart.
"Patriarch Chen is so arrogant! He sits here, yet he makes a weak woman kneel for an hour. It really opens my eyes!"
Gu Jingzhi said this with some sarcasm.
Chen Ru immediately exploded, pointing at Gu Jingzhi and cursing, "Isn't that all because of you?"
Gu Jingzhi spread his hands and said, "Since this is for me, why would you embarrass a woman?"
As he said this, he reached out and helped Chen Yu up. Looking at her pale face and the sweat on her forehead, he couldn't help but feel more distressed. He turned his head to look at Chen Ru.
"According to my understanding, this woman is the granddaughter of Patriarch Chen. I never expected that such a noble family would treat their own family members so harshly. Sigh..."
"The sages all said that self-cultivation is the key to managing one's family and governing the country. Seeing how Patriarch Chen is treating his younger generation so harshly, the family is failing in their duties! A family of scholars, one who inherits poetry and rituals..."
"Tsk tsk..."
Gu Jingzhi exclaimed in amazement: "It seems that the reputation is not worthy of it!"
Chen Ru roared in rage, "For a woman like this who has lost her chastity and brought disgrace upon our family, I, the clan leader, have shown leniency by not dragging her to the pig cage. What's the harm in kneeling for an hour?"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
"Patriarch Chen is a ruthless, shameless, and cruel man. I am truly no match for such a beast!"
"Gu Jingzhi, how dare you insult this clan leader? How outrageous!"
"How about this, my officer, if I let you down?"
Gu Jingzhi said disdainfully: "You are just an old bastard, I gave you some color, but you opened a dyeing factory? But you dyed your own heart black first!"
"you……"
Chen Ru was furious. He swung his sleeves and said, "You can act arrogantly as much as you want. I'll see how arrogant you can be when the case is brought to court..."
