Chapter 49 Reactions from various families
But at this moment, Fang Huaiyuan was rarely in a trance, staring at the figure of Prefect Liang walking away with a grim expression, as if he was thinking about something important.
After a while, his face grew increasingly gloomy, and then, without a word, he suddenly lifted his feet and quickly walked out of Qionghua Pavilion, leaving Gu Tianqiao standing there in shock. It wasn't until a moment later that Gu Tianqiao finally woke up from his dream and hurriedly gave chase.
After the strangers had left, Qin Fang frowned and said with some concern, "I'm afraid this Lord Liang has come with ill intentions!"
"I'll go find out who's behind this. I never thought a small family like the Gu family would be so involved that it would implicate the governor of a whole state!"
Wei Yuan also had a heavy expression on his face at this time. According to common sense, as long as they came forward to speak, the local officials would usually give them some face considering the family power they relied on.
What's more, this time several families spoke out together, but Magistrate Liang still took the people away without mercy and with a resolute attitude. If you say that there is no secret here, it is simply deceiving yourself!
"Fourth uncle, please think of a solution. Yunzhou is just an ordinary person who has not yet entered the body of literary energy. Lord Liang came with ill intentions. I am afraid that if it is too late, Yunzhou will fall into their hands!" Wei Yu's eyes were full of anxiety, and he looked at his fourth uncle for help.
"I'll go ahead and ask my elders to say hello. At the very least, we can't let Mr. Gu be treated unfairly in there!" Su Xun bowed to everyone, then left in a hurry.
"Uncle San, you have to help with this matter too. I was the one who dragged Yunzhou here today. The Gu family is obviously trying to frame Yunzhou!"
Qi Heng grabbed Qi Junshan's arm and began to beg. To be honest, today's incident was caused by him. If he hadn't wanted to show off in front of Su Xun, Gu Yunzhou would not have shown up to save the situation, and he would not have been targeted by Gu Tianqiao. Thinking of this, he felt even more regretful.
"You little brat, this isn't something you can get involved in. Don't worry, your friend is lucky and has the support of the Su, Wei, and Qin families. Even if Governor Liang is arrogant, he wouldn't dare to play dirty tricks in public. I'm afraid he'll resort to some shameful and despicable tactics!"
Qi Junshan raised his hand and knocked on his nephew's head. The difficulty of this matter now lies in finding out who is behind the scenes. Just relying on a small Gu family is not enough to make a prefect offend several major families.
"I'll have the guys in the pavilion investigate. Today, our Qionghua Pavilion has received a great benefit from Mr. Gu, so I'll consider it as repaying his kindness!"
Hua Erniang spoke at the right time. Qionghua Pavilions were spread all over Beichen, and the servants there were all highly skilled. As a favorite destination for scholars and literati in the county, it was naturally easy to obtain various information. Hua Erniang's statement undoubtedly successfully resolved a major problem.
If it were someone else, even if they could find out the relevant information, it would definitely take much longer than one or two days.
After everyone had discussed the matter, they each went their separate ways and began to take action. This situation was probably unexpected even for the Gu family. The person who had initially seemed like an ant and could be easily wiped out in their eyes had suddenly become so difficult to deal with that so many people were vying for him.
After Gu Yunzhou was forcibly escorted to the yamen, he was thrown into the gloomy, terrifying, and dark prison without any delay.
There is rarely any sunlight here all year round, and the air is filled with a nauseating strong musty smell and a faint smell of blood.
Those ferocious-looking yamen runners mercilessly pushed Gu Yunzhou into a small and cramped cell, then slammed the door shut and walked away without even looking back.
Gu Yunzhou calmed down and slowly looked around. He saw a dilapidated wooden bed in the corner, the bedding on it still so black that it was difficult to recognize its original color.
In the corner of the other side, there was a toilet that emitted a pungent stench. Apart from that, the entire cell was empty.
Helplessly, Gu Yunzhou had to move to the wall and find a slightly cleaner place to sit down. It was not until today that he truly realized that without strength, everything was just empty talk.
In his previous life, Gu Yunzhou had always lived on the peaceful and orderly Blue Planet. The country there had an extremely strict and complete legal system, where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and society was stable and harmonious.
However, when he came to this world called Tianxing Continent, he truly and deeply felt what it meant to be completely different.
Here, there is a tense atmosphere of fierce fighting with foreign races at all times; men of letters and poets are highly respected and their status is extremely high; and everything depends entirely on personal strength to determine the right to speak.
Only now did Gu Yunzhou truly experience this. He knew that if he didn't change his comfortable mindset, inherited from his past life, and continued to examine and handle problems in this way, he might not even know how he lost his life.
Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he began to think about how to deal with this difficult situation next.
It was obvious that all his previous calculations had now come to nothing. He could easily guess that since the Gu family had dared to report the case to the authorities, his eligibility to participate in the provincial examination had undoubtedly been completely revoked.
In this case, if one wants to quickly improve one's own strength in a short period of time, the only feasible way is to use the power of cultural treasures and integrate cultural energy into the body.
However, cultural treasures are rare. Usually, only those who come from prominent families and are extremely talented have the opportunity to own one.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, they could only rely on participating in the provincial examinations to secure that tiny chance of inducing literary energy. For someone like him, without a powerful background and living at the bottom of society, the thought of obtaining a cultural treasure that could draw in qi, a rare treasure even among the aristocracy, was simply a fantasy!
Suddenly, Gu Yunzhou's eyes lit up, and he remembered a book he had accidentally read some time ago. The book mentioned a possibility, but for thousands of years, there were very few people who could accomplish it, so over time it was gradually forgotten.
While he was thinking, time passed by. Strangely, Prefect Liang, who had originally acted tough, did not interrogate Gu Yunzhou, but seemed to have forgotten him.
