The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

However, to his disappointment, the visitor just shook his head.

"Master, there is no news!"

"waste!"

Gu Heng cursed angrily and said, "There are only four people on the other side. What about you? How many of you are there? You can't even keep a few people!"

"..."

The servant said, "Master, although the enemy is not numerous, they are all skilled fighters. We brothers have been chasing them all the way and have lost quite a few men! Besides..."

"Besides what?"

Gu Heng narrowed his eyes, thinking that these servants would find other excuses to cover up their incompetent behavior.

The servant said, "Master, according to the feedback from the brothers, it seems that Master Gu voluntarily followed those people away!"

"What? Did he know something?"

Gu Heng asked subconsciously.

As a person in charge in his hometown, Gu Yong almost took care of all his dirty work in order to gain his trust.

Gu Heng saw that Gu Yong was loyal and didn't want too many people to know about his affairs, so he gave all the dirty work to Gu Yong.

Until recently, he had a vague feeling as if an invisible big hand was pushing everything, and his situation was getting worse and worse, so he wanted to kill Gu Yong.

However, before this matter could be dealt with, it was interfered with by Gu Jingzhi's return to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yong ran away during this gap.

Could it be that he knew that I was not going to keep him?

Gu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "Have you found out who the people who took Gu Yong away are?"

"I'm not sure about the details, but it's very likely to be the internal security guards!"

"Inner guard?"

Gu Heng was startled and blurted out: "Gu Yong must not fall into the hands of the inner guards."

"Yes!"

The servant nodded and said, "But after leaving Jeju Prefecture, those people disappeared without a trace, and we have no way to investigate!"

"That's your incompetence!"

Gu Heng scolded.

The servant immediately stood there in silence, not daring to make a sound, for fear of angering Gu Heng.

Seeing his expression, Gu Heng thought for a moment and said, "If it's the inner guards, no matter how they disappear, they will eventually return to the capital. You must make arrangements now and closely monitor all the important roads leading into the capital. Don't let Gu Yong enter!"

"Also, send a message back to Jeju now. Be sure to deal with all the previous matters thoroughly. Make sure nothing can be found out here!"

"promise!"

The servant responded without thinking, and then hurriedly left Gu Heng's study.

After seeing the people leave, Gu Heng became silent.

He never expected that the person who took action was the internal guard.

But why did the internal security go to such great lengths to take action in his hometown? Did Zhao Zhongli and the person they detained exchange any words?

Do not!

This is impossible!

As soon as this thought came into his mind, Gu Heng subconsciously shook his head.

What happened to Zhao Zhongli has nothing to do with his hometown. Very few people know about it, so it is impossible for it to happen.

Of course, now that the internal security has intervened and taken Gu Yong away.

No matter what their reasons are, even if they come to the capital to celebrate his birthday, Gu Heng will never let them leave.

……

On the other side, Gu Jingzhi was also a little anxious.

Emperor Xia couldn't keep dragging it out, but Liu Sandao and the others didn't know what had gone wrong.

If it weren't for Gu Yong, it would have been much more difficult for him to succeed in his plan.

He was absent-mindedly flipping through the pages of the book, not knowing how much time had passed. He noticed that Tao'er, who was serving beside him, seemed a little anxious.

He looked quite hesitant.

"Are you...feeling unwell?" Gu Jingzhi frowned slightly.

"what?"

Tao'er screamed subconsciously, and then saw Gu Jingzhi looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"No! Master..."

"If you're tired, go back and rest. You don't have to wait on me all the time!"

Gu Jingzhi didn't suspect anything and just said something softly.

Tao'er cried out, then slowly walked towards the study. Just as her hand touched the door, she shrank back as if she had received an electric shock. She turned her head and looked at Gu Jingzhi: "Master..."

Tao'er gritted her teeth and said, "This slave has something to say to the master!"

Oh?

I have something to say...

Could it be the one he guessed?

Gu Jingzhi was slightly delighted, but said calmly, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Please redress my father's injustice, my Lord, and save the entire Jiang family!"

Tao'er suddenly knelt down on the ground.

coming!

Gu Jingzhi felt a little excited. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Looking at the women kneeling in a ball, Lian Qiao's peach-shaped body was clearly visible.

However, Gu Jingzhi had no time to think about anything else. Instead, he pretended to be confused and asked, "Your father? Wasn't his case concluded?"

"My Lord, my late father was framed. Not only him, but also Minister Guo!"

"nonsense!"

Gu Jingzhi feigned rebuke, "Your Majesty has personally inquired into this matter, how could it be an injustice?"

"But my lord, my father was wrongly accused, and I have evidence!"

"Evidence? What kind of evidence?"

Gu Jingzhi frowned.

"I don't have this evidence with me, but if my master agrees, I will give it to him!"

"This……"

Gu Jingzhi thought for a moment, then said, "You should stand up and talk first!"

Tao Er stood up cautiously after hearing this, then glanced at Gu Jingzhi. Gu Jingzhi asked, "You've been in my house for a while now. Why are you only thinking of redressing your father's grievances now?"

"This……"

Tao'er was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect Gu Jingzhi to ask this. She said, "I didn't dare to trouble you before. Besides, you held an important position in the Honglu Temple. This..."

How could she dare to tell Gu Jingzhi? She didn't know what kind of person Gu Jingzhi was before, so she didn't dare to easily reveal the fact that she had evidence.

If I hadn't heard from those people in the backyard these days that Gu Jingzhi was about to help them get justice, I'm afraid this matter would have been delayed for who knows how long.

She has been struggling these days, fearing that she has entrusted her trust to the wrong person.

But later she thought, in her life... as long as Gu Jingzhi was fine, it would be difficult for her to come into contact with other dignitaries.

Gu Jingzhi became a fourth-rank official within a year of joining the court, so his future prospects are definitely limitless.

In addition, he even knew those three strangers... Those three people were obviously from poor families. Even such people, Gu Jingzhi could keep them in his house and prepare to seek justice for them. Such a person should not have a bad character, right?

Gu Jingzhi didn't care about the truth of Tao'er's statement, as long as there was an explanation.

He thought for a moment and said, "Your father's case is quite complicated. This..."

"As long as my master can clear my father's name and save my people... Tao'er will be my slave and servant, and I'm willing to do anything!"

"..."

Gu Jingzhi's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily, "Become a slave? Aren't you one now?"

"Lord……"

When Tao'er heard this, her face flushed immediately and her eyes seemed to be able to shed tears.

Even the voice seems to have become more charming...

When Gu Jingzhi heard this, he was also stunned!
