"Brother, I promise he won't kill anyone, please brother..." Mr. Gu was so angry that his veins bulged, but thinking that his son still needed the name of the Duke of Guo to save him, he suppressed the anger in his heart and begged Gu Gu in a low voice, but Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Gu Guogong before he finished speaking.
"Brother, be careful what you say." Mr. Gu respected his elder brother, but when it came to his only son, he did not tolerate his brother's slander. The third lady even shouted angrily: "My son did not kill anyone."
Gu Qiancheng sighed softly, washed her hands and ate under the service of the maid, but she was thinking about how she would get out of the Gu family if her third uncle's line was no longer needed.
When he heard the news, Mr. Gu Sanye was completely stunned. He couldn't accept this fact at all. How could his son kill someone
"My nephew killed someone, and I will not protect him and pay for his life." Gu Guogong said it lightly, but he didn't know how hurtful these words were.
"Third brother, let me tell you, these are my father's words. My father said that the matter of acceptance is too big, and the deceased is the legitimate second son of Xian Qihou. If our Gu family uses power to suppress others, the empress and the fifth prince in the palace will It’s difficult to do. But don’t worry, my father promised to have someone take care of Chengyi secretly after the case is decided... "
For the third master and the third wife, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. When the third wife heard the news, she fell over and her tears did not stop after she woke up: "Master, Chengyi... Chengyi, how could they kill someone? It must be the government I'm wrong, I don't believe it, I don't believe Chengyi can kill people."
Although the third wife took charge of the house and replaced her with a new batch of maids, she felt that no matter how well trained the maids were, they were not as good as Mother Sun. Except for Mother Sun, there was no one in the house she could trust, not even Mrs. Zhao, who she asked to take charge of the yard.
"Madam, stop Madam quickly."
Like wounded beasts, Third Master Gu and Third Lady Gu stared fiercely at Duke Gu and roared: "My son did not kill anyone."
"Master... please save Chengyi. Chengyi is only twelve years old. He is still a child. How could he kill someone? Master, aren't you in the Ministry of Punishment? Please let someone investigate again. Our Chengyi will not kill anyone." "Yes." The third lady burst into tears, crying hard: "Master, let's go and beg the old man to come forward and save Chengyi. Chengyi will not kill anyone."
She is not young, and due to the dislike of her by Duke Gu and Mrs. Gu, if the old man does not protect her, she will be married off soon.
"Third brother, the pure will become pure themselves, and the dirty will become foul. The government will not let a bad person go, nor will it wrong a good person. You are working in the Ministry of Punishment yourself, don't you know this truth?" Gu Guogong looked upright and serious. Face reprimanded Mr. Gu: "Third son, the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty. Don't be stupid and do things that will embarrass the queen in the palace."
As soon as Gu Guogong saw Mr. Gu, he reprimanded him: "Third brother, you are getting more and more shameful. Your son has committed murder, and your wife is restless. Don't you think the Gu family has been embarrassed enough?"
Her son was her lifeblood, and at this time she couldn't care less about her image and face.
Gu Guogong thought he had lost face in front of Mr. Gu because of what happened last time. Now that he got the chance, he would naturally want to get it back.
Gu Chengyi is the most promising child among the grandchildren of the Gu family, and has always been the pride of Uncle Gu. But this morning, he was told that the child he had high hopes for committed murder and killed his classmate in an extremely cruel way. Now he has been imprisoned and will be sentenced soon.
When the third lady spoke, people rushed out...
Mr. Gu was afraid that something might happen to the third lady, so he tried his best to chase her. He saw the third lady being stopped by a slave in the outer courtyard, and the gloomy-looking Duke Gu.
"Third brother, what are you doing? Don't mess around." Gu Guogong was frightened by the cruelty of Mr. Gu, and moved the old man out in a cowardly manner.
Third Master Gu looked at Gu Guogong in disbelief: "Brother, Chengyi is your nephew."
Even if the evidence is conclusive, the third lady does not believe that her son will kill someone.
At this time, Gu Qiancheng finally understood why the otherworldly fairy Lin Daiyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" lamented: "Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, frost, and sword force each other hard."
Tears welled up in Uncle Gu San's eyes: "The deceased was the legitimate second son of Marquis Xian Qi. Marquis Xian Qi has spoken and will never spare the murderer lightly."
While Gu Qiancheng was worried about his future, Gu Sanshu was also worried about his son...
"Hmph... Whether there is a murder or not, the government will make its own decision. How can you allow a woman like you to talk nonsense?" Gu Guogong looked at Mr. Gu with disdain: "Third brother, watch your younger siblings. Don't let her go out and talk nonsense. It will be embarrassing. The Gu family’s face.”
All the evidence points to Chengyi, but the scariest thing is that Gu Chengyi himself doesn't know whether he killed anyone because he was drunk.
When Sun's mother was here, she would definitely come in and remind her to stop writing to avoid hurting her eyes, but now
Gu Sanye's only son, Gu Chengyi, is twelve years old this year and studying at the prestigious Donglin Academy in the capital. Although he is not very talented, he is diligent and eager to learn. It is inevitable that he will win the exam one day.
The circumstances of the case were extremely unfavorable to Chengyi. There were only traces of Chengyi and the deceased at the scene. When he was discovered, Chengyi still had the murder weapon in his hand, which was inserted right into the heart of the deceased.
After Gu Sanshu came to his senses, he stumbled out and ran out to find out the details of the case from the government. At the same time, he went to jail to see his son.
Gu Guogong made it clear that he would not care about Gu Chengyi's life or death.
"Ah..." The third lady shouted in pain, "How could this happen? How could this happen? How could Chengyi kill someone? I don't believe it. I don't believe it. This must be slander. I'm going to sue them. I'm going to sue them." "
Of course, with her current reputation and Mrs. Gu's dislike for her, she would never find a good family for her. In all likelihood, she would be married to a remote place, where she would never come back and die of old age.
"I don't believe that Chengyi kills people, but the human and physical evidence are conclusive." Uncle Gu looked like he had aged dozens of years in an instant, with gray hair growing on his temples: "Even Chengyi himself doesn't know whether he killed the person or not." .”
"Madam..." Mr. Gu was shocked and hurriedly followed him out. But after running around for a day, and with his only son involved in a murder case, Mr. Gu was exhausted both physically and mentally. How could he keep up with the third lady
"It's useless." Uncle Gu shook his head heavily: "The evidence is very unfavorable to Chengyi. If it can't be proved that Chengyi did not kill anyone, it will be useless for anyone to come forward. At that time, the eldest son of the Feng family and Mr. Jing were both there. Donglin Academy wanted to Reputation will not let the murderer go unpunished.”
If Mrs. Gu had not been grounded, the Second Madam and the Third Madam were in power, and without Mama Sun taking care of her, she would not even be able to eat a hot meal in the backyard controlled by Mrs. Gu.
After copying the last word, Gu Qiancheng rubbed his sore wrist and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside the courtyard...
