Binh Duong Order

When Gu Cheng came out of the teahouse, another layer of snow had fallen on the streets of Ling'an, but it still couldn't cover the bustle of the streets. The New Year was approaching, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people who were doing New Year's goods. Looking at this scene of life, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the servants of the family drove the carriage over, Gu Cheng got into the carriage, sat in the carriage and walked home, thinking in his heart, he really should go and see Miss Su, You can't bring people back, so just leave them alone, right?

The family was not there, so Gu Cheng went to find the housekeeper at home. The third sister always ordered the housekeeper to do things when she wanted to resettle someone. Gu Cheng wanted to ask the housekeeper where the third sister put Miss Su, but the housekeeper said no. Knowing that there was someone named Su Luoyuan, Gu Cheng was startled, thought of something, changed his name and asked again, and sure enough he knew someone named Xiao Ling.

Said that she was in the tent, Gu Cheng was surprised to know that she was still in the mansion, and wanted to see her, the housekeeper originally wanted someone to call Xiaoling over, but Gu Cheng wanted to go and have a look, so he asked the housekeeper He led him there, and asked about Su Luoyuan's recent situation, the steward told him: "Originally, Xiaoling was brought back by the third lady and ordered to be housed. Because she was brought from outside, she didn't dare to be put in the inner courtyard, so she just let her She was doing some cleaning work in the outer courtyard, and later, Mama Xu from the kitchen praised her for her hard work, cleverness and kindness, so she sent a message to send her to work in the kitchen."

"Xu's mother saw that she was clever, quick to learn, quick to do things, willing to endure hardships, and thoughtful. She was also happy to take her to do things like shopping, and she liked to let her inspect the things brought in from outside. Goods inspection."

"Later, there was an accident at home, and some unsightly peddlers were sent to the house, and she found out. The dealer was shameless and wanted to play a rogue. Fortunately, Xiaoling was clever and left all the receipts, saying that he was going to arrest him. In the courtroom, the businessman was afraid of causing a lawsuit, so he begged her to say that he could exchange the goods for her, but Xiaoling refused, and asked the nursing home to guard him, and invited the slaves to make a decision. If this is not trustworthy, we will naturally not fight with him There are many exchanges, but the family was in chaos at the time, and I really couldn't concentrate on dealing with this little shrimp. In the end, it was just that the things were missing, and he had to pay double the money, so let's forget about it."

"At that time, the servant saw that Xiao Ling was doing everything well, so he sent her to the accountant's office. She started with chores and learned slowly."

Gu Cheng frowned when he heard this, he originally thought that the third sister would give Miss Su some property and shops, so that Miss Su could spend the rest of her life in Ling'an carefree?Why is it such an arrangement?Su Luoyuan is the daughter of General Su, and General Su is a hero, how can he let the daughter of a hero be a servant in his family?Gu Cheng felt that the third sister did not do a thorough job this time.

While the two of them were talking, they had already reached the account room, but there were too many people in the account room, so there was too much chatter. The butler asked Gu Cheng to sit in the side room where the master usually checked the accounts, and asked the servants to call Xiao Ling in his own name. Come here, Gu Cheng thought the same, Miss Su's identity is really not easy for too many people to know, so she waited obediently.

After a while, Su Luoyuan followed the servants over. Su Luoyuan first met the butler at the door, and after paying respects, she led the person into the room, and retreated to the door to guard, standing sideways, while paying attention to the housekeeper. Listening to the movement in the room, while looking at the situation outside, Su Luoyuan understood what was going on when she saw Gu Cheng, and before the housekeeper reminded her, she respectfully and solemnly saluted: "The servant pays respects to the young master." .”

Her kneeling was so natural that it made Gu Cheng feel uncomfortable. She stood up and walked over all of a sudden. She didn't want to help her, but she simply squatted down and discussed, "Miss Su, you don't have to do this, hurry up." Get up." Gu Cheng knew her identity, and it was already embarrassing for her to be a servant at home, and she really couldn't bear such a big gift at the moment.

Su Luoyuan slightly raised her eyes to look at Gu Cheng, lowered her eyes again, stood up as said, Gu Cheng greeted her to sit down, Su Luoyuan said: "Young master, I am a servant of the mansion now, so I should have a Looks like a servant."

Speaking of this, Gu Cheng was really embarrassed: "I thought that my third sister would live a good life in your farm shop, but I didn't expect that she would let you work as a servant in the mansion. I'm really sorry. I'll look for it later. The third sister said, let her let you go."

Su Luoyuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help but look at Young Master Gu with affection, no wonder Miss Gu Jun was so guarded against herself, she put herself in her eyelids Looking from under the hood, she really should be on guard. As for this young master, she doesn't even have to resort to tricks to deceive him.

"Young master, I'm worrying too much. I begged Miss San to take me in." Fortunately, I don't have to lie to others now: "I have no skills, even if I am rich and powerful, I can't keep it, so I begged Miss San to take me in." The government should learn some skills, since it is learning skills, there is no reason to be picky, naturally it is right to take it step by step." Saying some nice witty words, how can it be considered a lie?

"Is that so?" Young Master Gu did not expect this.

"Is such that."

Young Master Gu thinks about it, she is right, Ling Ando is unreasonable, she is a little girl, if she is out alone, she is really easy to be targeted by others, now she is in her own home, with family protection, she can be safe , Tsk, why did you go out and come back, and still haven't learned anything about Yuanman?It's because I didn't think well.

"That's good, that's good." Young Master Gu said with a smile: "Yuan Man misses you very much, and even asked me about you. Now that I know you are safe, I don't disgrace my mission, but why don't you use yours?" Real name?" When Gu Cheng asked just now, the butler said that he didn't know such a person, which really surprised him.

Su Luoyuan replied: "It's not good to come out to do things with a name that is too obvious." That's what Su Luoyuan said, but Su Luoyuan always felt that the name Su Luoyuan was given to her daughter by General Su, and she—— Let's assume that General Su's daughter died at the age of six.

After all, Su Rin's crime was to punish the Nine Clans. Su Luoyuan had been dismissed a long time ago. If she refused to admit it, others would not be able to forcibly press her head. She couldn't make it up against her. That little girl died, and she I still have to live well.

Gu Cheng nodded, and he silently wrote down in his heart that he really didn't think thoroughly, and said to Su Luoyuan: "If you have any troubles, just send someone to me, and I will definitely help if I can. "

Su Luoyuan saluted: "Thank you very much then." It's just that I agree, and I absolutely dare not go looking for it, otherwise I am afraid that if I go looking for it at this moment, I will be kicked out of the Gu family the next moment.

Gu Cheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the housekeeper outside the door: "Young master, the old man sent someone to look for you, saying that he would like to invite you to the front hall for something important."

"Then I'll go there first." Gu Cheng got up and said goodbye to Su Luoyuan: "If you have something to do, just let someone come to me."

Su Luoyuan nodded, she behaved well and didn't send anyone out, and regardless of whether Gu Cheng saw it, she still saluted Gu Cheng obediently, and only went out when the people had gone far away. The snow floated down loosely, and when she caught it with her hand, it melted as soon as it touched her palm. Su Luoyuan suddenly smiled, a relaxed and comfortable smile, her smiling face wrapped in the white breath she exhaled, not like It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, like the first melting of spring snow.

She remembered how she answered when Yuanman gave her a choice. She replied at that time: "Miu Yingsi, the shadow should not be able to see the light? I have been unable to see the light for too long in my life. From now on, I want to bask in the sun."

Su Luoyuan walked into the tent step by step, stepping on the porcelain with every step, and she was also happy in her heart, it was really good to be able to see the sun.

Gu Cheng had just arrived at the front hall, and besides his own family, he saw someone he never wanted to see again in this life, Zhao Yi's father, Qianling An Jingzhao Yin Zhao Shijian, Zhao Shijian was almost seventy, since his death After losing his son, he suffered a serious illness, and his illness never recovered, so he retired from Jing Zhaoyin's seat and took a job in Dali Temple.

You want to ask who is Zhao Yi?Didn't Young Master Gu go to prison just because he killed this person?Seeing Zhao Shijian now, Young Master Gu's first reaction was what does this person want to do?What's more, the look in this person's eyes makes him want to be skinned and boned.

In the end, when he saw Gu Cheng, the old man of the Gu family asked Zhao Shijian, "Master Zhao, my family Gu Cheng has already called, may I ask you to come over? You also named someone by name to see him? What's the matter?"

Zhao Shijian didn't even look at the old man, and only ordered to the person he had brought: "The prisoner, Gucheng, has to come out after the time limit. He has not returned after the time limit. He is now arrested and brought to justice. He will be convicted after trial in Dali Temple."

"What?" Before Gu Cheng could react, Zhao Shijian's men put chains on Gu Cheng. After Zhao Shijian arrested him, he left without giving Gu Cheng a chance to argue. Holding a cane, the servant girl asked as she walked, "Master Zhao, Caomin remembers that the emperor's edict is clearly written, let my little grandson go on a journey, and find the envoy of Ran and Qin, and he will be his emissary." Make up for the mistakes, and offset the merits and demerits."

"That's right." Zhao Shijian said: "The merits and demerits are equal, and the Princess and Princess were killed, and your Gu family was also held accountable. What kind of merit is this?"

"Master Zhao, that's not what you said originally, but what went wrong? Please, Master Zhao, be accommodating and give the grassroots a few days' grace. I'll give you an explanation after I figure out the cause and effect." The old man staggered a little, almost Falling down, fortunately there were many servants around him, so there was no danger. Gu Cheng saw it, and was more anxious than being escorted away. He kept confirming the situation of the old man, and he was relieved when he knew that he was fine.

"Old Mrs. Gu." Zhao Shijian came to the door of Gu's house and said, "I am also responsible. You should not embarrass me. Please stay." After speaking, he escorted Gu Cheng into the prison van, and walked people leisurely like a parade I took it back to Dali Temple, and the pedestrians on the street pointed and whispered. Gu Cheng experienced such a scene once. The last time was because he killed Zhao Yi. Gu Cheng was sitting in the prison car with his toes high Angry, he felt that he was a hero who killed harm for the people.

But this time, Gu Cheng leaned on the prison car and watched the grandfather who was chasing behind the prison car in the snow. Wronged.

Gu Cheng was handcuffed and imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple. Gu Cheng leaned on the prison door and looked at Zhao Shijian's face of being a villain. Apart from resentment, his heart was filled with contempt: "Zhao Shijian Jian, it’s a pity that you are an official of the court, and you are using your power for personal gain? Are you worthy of the official robe you are wearing?”

Along the way, Young Master Gu has seen too many good officials who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, so looking at Zhao Shijian now, he only feels that his appearance is hideous and extremely absurd.

The people under his command left after locking the door, Zhao Shijian looked at Gu Cheng's angry look, and smiled: "Young Master Gu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm just acting in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Great Realm. If you haven't returned within the time limit, I will arrest you and bring you to justice. It's all the same. Don't worry, Young Master Gu. I'm not the one who will interrogate you next. I will go to beat the drum of injustice, and I want to sue your Gu family for bribing court officials, corrupting the law, ransoming 120 catties of copper, and even more than a thousand taels of gold and silver for buying off officials, what a big deal your Gu family is?"

"You said so much money, can your Gu family still have the ability to save you this time? Can you still save you? Is it hard to protect yourself?"

Gu Cheng was stunned, he didn't know what Zhao Shijian said, he only knew that his family saved him, but he didn't know how they saved him, let alone, he didn't know at all , To save yourself, you actually spent so much money?

It's just - looking at Zhao Shijian who is a bit crazy, Gu Cheng didn't understand: "Your son is a disaster for the common people, heinous crimes, I killed him to do justice for the heavens." If he can't manage his son well, he doesn't have the face to blame others.

"I know." Zhao Shijian said: "My son is spoiled by the family, especially my mother, who has suffered all his life and finally enjoyed his old age peacefully. It is rare to have a young child in the family. Naturally, he is doted on. I know him If it's wrong, I will take care of it, I will teach it, even if it breaks his leg, I will teach him! I know, he deserves to die! But, that's my son! That's the only son in my life!"

Zhao Shijian's words expressed how much heartbreak he felt as a parent. He really didn't know what Zhao Yi did, did he really stand by and watch?I beat and scolded, and I paid for what should be paid, but what?Whenever something happened, the mother would quarrel with him, if something happened, the son would cry with him, if something happened, he would feel sorry for his wife, what could he do?My son, do I want to kill him with my own hands?

After listening to Zhao Shijian's words, Gu Cheng was indescribably shocked for a moment, that's right, it was a shock. At first, he only thought that Zhao Yi was a villain, and he should eliminate harm for the people, but what should Zhao Yi's relatives do? , Young Master Gu never thought of it.

"That's because my wife gave up her life and kept her son. Even though he has everything wrong, has he ever provoked you? How could it be your turn to do it?"

This is something that Gu Cheng never thought about, Zhao Yi never provoked him, instead, he took the initiative to provoke Zhao Yi for the sake of convenience, but, he was doing justice for the heavens?isn't it?

No, it's not, the former Young Master Gu didn't understand, but now the Young Master Gu understands very well. He made up a high-sounding reason and called himself a hero, but what?He is not a hero, let alone Li Yidao, he is just trying to satisfy his unnecessary fantasies and vanity. In reality, he is timid and cowardly. Otherwise, why would he dare not touch Mu Fanchen?Because he knew very well that he couldn't offend Mu Fanchen.

Gu Cheng saw Zhao Yi in Zhao Shijian's old face, and saw Zhao Yi's appearance when he died. He suddenly thought, didn't he also hurt the old man in front of him?Is he also Zhao Yi in another sense?

Gu Cheng has never been so clear, facing his mistakes directly, in front of the people he hurt, all his excuses become ridiculous, and all his excuses seem pale.

At this moment, the boy clearly understood that he was not a hero, never was.

"Are you scared?" Zhao Shijian looked at Gu Cheng whose eyes were gradually trembling, and asked, "If you want to do it, you have to bear the consequences. Your family bought this life for you with real money. After all, you have to pay it back." Yes, since you think my son is heinous and you are doing justice for the heavens, then now it seems that your Gu family violated the laws of Dajing, and it is okay for me to act impartially now."

Gu Cheng was also thinking, was he really ready to take responsibility for what he did when he faced the prison without fear back then?No, it seems that what he has in his arms is only the idea that he feels that he is so powerful and that his name will last forever. He seems to be using other people's lives to praise himself, and he is self-righteous and self-righteous.

"Pay money for debts, and pay for murder." Zhao Shijian said, "Young man, my son's life has been paid. Now, it's your turn."
