Chapter 137: Cheating Gu Yong, the best actor is online!
Zhuangzi was in a separate room.
Gu Jingzhi looked at a man who was about forty years old. The man had a pair of triangular eyes and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
Gu Yong!
The head of the Gu family whom Gu Heng relies on most.
"Master Gu, you are too careless and too reckless. For a little land, you actually dared to break the dike and release the water, directly destroying three villages. This is thousands of lives!"
"If Father hadn't arranged this matter in time, I'm afraid the entire Gu family would be gone!"
"Ok?"
A hint of suspicion flashed across Gu Yong's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said in a gloomy tone, "Young Master, what are you talking about? And...where is the master?"
"Do you think father dares to come see you at this time?"
Gu Jingzhi scolded calmly, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
Although this old man came here with Liu Sandao and the others, he didn't seem to trust Gu Jingzhi at all. It seemed that some of the Gu family's confidants knew that Gu Jingzhi was not well-received.
He said calmly, "Master Gu, do you not trust me, the eldest son, or what?"
"How dare you, how dare you..."
Gu Yong said with a forced smile, "Although I have been promoted by the master to be the head of the Gu family, I am still a servant. How dare I act rashly in front of the master?"
Ah……
Gu Jingzhi sneered inwardly, then said, "All the way back, you were intercepted and chased by the Internal Guards everywhere. Why do you think they wanted to capture you so blatantly?"
Gu Jingzhi set the trap without making any noise.
When he asked Liu Sandao and others to go to Jizhou Prefecture to take Gu Yong away, he had already made plans.
They tricked him away in the name of Gu Heng and said that everything he had done would be exposed.
If the Gu family pursues him openly, he can directly slander Gu Heng and say that his purpose is to silence him. If the Gu family dares not reveal their identity, he can say that the people of the Gu family are internal guards.
In short, no matter what, he must be brought to the capital.
Gu Jingzhi will interrogate Gu Yong as the eldest son of the Gu family.
If the identities of Liu Sandao and the others were exposed, Gu Jingzhi would naturally be the first to cut off Gu Yong's escape route. Of course, if they were not exposed, then they would naturally follow the original plan.
When he heard the word "internal guard", Gu Yong's pupils shrank.
The inner guards were directly under the emperor's command, and now that they had come personally to arrest him, it naturally meant that the emperor had already set his sights on the entire Gu family.
Seeing that he seemed to believe it, Gu Jingzhi continued, "After all, my Gu family and the Song family are relatives. As soon as the inner guards made a move, my father noticed something was wrong, so he had no choice but to arrange for someone to take you away!"
"I understand what you are saying, sir! But why did you come to the capital?"
"Master Gu, haven't you ever heard the saying 'the darkest part is the darkest part'?"
"Darkness under the lamp?"
Gu Yong was a little confused.
Gu Jingzhi said calmly, "The so-called darkness under the lamp means that the place closest to the lamp is the darkest..."
As he spoke, he pointed to a lighted lamp in the room.
Gu Yong looked at it and found that it was indeed darker than other places. Being a smart man, he knew Gu Jingzhi's intention at a glance.
But he was still very suspicious and asked, "Why is it the eldest son who came here?"
"Hmph, you think I want to come?"
Gu Jingzhi snorted coldly: "This young master rarely goes out, and outsiders don't know me. It's the least likely for me to come forward and be noticed. If it were the third brother, you would try..."
"Uh……"
Although Gu Yong didn't dare to believe it completely, he could agree with Gu Jingzhi's statement.
Gu Jingzhi sighed softly, "You've done a lot for your father and the Gu family. Now that something like this has happened, I absolutely cannot let you fall into the hands of others."
"But if the internal security forces fail to produce any results, someone in the court will naturally file a petition to impeach my father, and then my father will be in a passive position!"
"They dared to act at this time, I'm afraid they have a lot of information! Father trusts you, so most of the things are unknown to him. That's why he asked you to come to Beijing this time, just to get to know what has happened in our hometown over the years!"
"Young Master, isn't it true that the less you know, the more it appears that the Master is not involved in the affairs of our hometown?"
There was still doubt in Gu Yong's words.
Gu Jingzhi glanced at him coldly and said, "Father, as the head of the Gu family, do you think that anything happening in our hometown has nothing to do with you?"
"The enemy has the initiative, and the inner guards have appeared. If father doesn't even know what's going on, how can he defend himself before the emperor?"
Oh!
The purpose of this is to make excuses in front of the emperor!
That's true.
If the master doesn't know the details of the matter, it would be easy for others to take advantage of it. If the words don't match up, it would be a crime.
However, he still didn't completely believe Gu Jingzhi, and continued, "Master, although the situation is urgent right now, this matter is of great importance. I still want to see you!"
"Don't even think about it. Father definitely can't come to see you at this critical moment. He's a noble man, and the inner guards are omnipresent. It's better to stay still now!"
"But small..."
"As the eldest son of the Gu family, could I possibly harm the Gu family?"
"I dare not think so..."
Gu Yong smiled awkwardly.
He really wasn't afraid that Gu Jingzhi would harm the Gu family, but just because you don't harm the Gu family doesn't mean you won't harm me.
The principle of "when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked"... How could those who do the dirty work not understand this?
Gu Jingzhi gave him a cold look, then pulled out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yong, saying icily, "Father knew you would hold back, so he wrote you a letter. He said you would understand after reading it!"
"Oh?"
Gu Yong's eyes lit up. He quickly grabbed the letter with both hands and opened it to read.
After a while, he smiled and said, "If you had taken out the master's handwritten letter earlier, I wouldn't have ended up like this. I hope you will forgive me..."
As he said this, he pretended to bow.
Gu Jingzhi had a sour face and said in a gloomy tone, "I just wanted to see how sincere the Gu family's head is to our Gu family. Now I see that the head is really a cautious person! No wonder my father values him so much..."
He snorted coldly as he spoke.
This letter is naturally fake.
This was a letter he had someone imitate Gu Heng's handwriting.
The content...
Of course it's also made up.
The gist of it was to ask him to explain things clearly and that he would never harm his life. He also implicitly expressed that he knew that he had recorded some of the Gu family's past events and put them somewhere else.
As long as he cooperates this time, she will let her go after the storm has passed, and will ensure that he will be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life.
In fact, these words were just tests from Gu Jingzhi.
As Gu Heng's white glove, Gu Yong would naturally be aware of his future fate, so it was impossible for him not to make any preparations.
Gu Jingzhi wrote a simulated couple in the letter, but no matter how smart Gu Yong was, if he had something to hide, he would subconsciously choose to believe it.
Seeing that Gu Yong really believed it, Gu Jingzhi immediately said with a serious expression:
"Now that you've read the letter, can you tell me now?"
