Binh Duong Order

For the New Year’s Eve dinner, some people eat it nicely, while others eat it depressingly. Gu Cheng came late, making the whole family wait for him for half an hour.

After Gu Cheng came, he first saluted and then apologized. His fourth cousin, Gu Cheng, was already angry because of his involvement in the family. Seeing him so ignorant and making the whole family wait for a junior like him, he was even more angry. Called one place: "It's different after walking for a long time, and I have been in prison twice, and I am even more defiant."

Gu Cheng didn't reply, just accepted it quietly, even Gu Cheng's parents couldn't tell him anything, after all, Gu Cheng really brought trouble to the family.

"Okay." The old man still said: "How about Chinese New Year? Don't give me a nose that is not a nose, and a face that is not a face. Let's open the table."

After the old man spoke, the others couldn't say much, and they all started to eat with their heads down. Because of the incident in Gucheng, the whole family seemed depressed. They are not allowed to mention this matter in front of Gu Cheng, the big guy is angry, but because of the old man, he can only suppress it in his heart, how aggrieved and aggrieved this reunion dinner is.

The Gu family has a rule, they have to stay in the ancestral house during Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, so many people go back to the house after eating early out of sight and out of mind. This opportunity knocked on the door of the old man of the Gu family at night.

The old man is getting old, his health is not good, and he couldn't bear it. He was about to rest, but he heard a knock on the door. After asking, he knew it was Gu Cheng, so he asked his servants to open the door and let him in. After Gu Cheng came in, The old man sat down with his clothes on and asked him, "What's the matter for coming here so late?"

Who knew that Gu Cheng knelt down with a plop, knocked his head heavily, and asked the old man, "Grandpa, my grandson wants to ask you how you plan to deal with Mr. Zhao."

The old man didn't show his face, he gave the servant in the room a wink, and the servant retreated out sensibly, and closed the door, the old man said: "You don't care about this matter, after the new year is over, don't worry. Stay in prison for a few days, and the family will find a way to get you back."

"Do you still want to use money to help me get rid of the crime?" Gu Cheng said blatantly: "Is there any surplus in the family?"

"This is not something you should worry about as a child." The old man's words had hinted at anger, and he couldn't help coughing a few times when he said a word, and sat down with his heart on his chest. It's always easy to go wrong.

"I'm not a child anymore." Gu Cheng retorted: "Grandpa, I've already performed the crown ceremony, I'm not a child anymore, you should let go, and I should also take responsibility for my crimes."

"Take responsibility? Cough cough." The old man supported his heart, endured the faint pain in his heart, looked at the innocent and ridiculous Gu Cheng and asked him: "What responsibility can you take? How can you take responsibility? Can you go Did you kill Zhao Shijian with a knife? Or can you save the princess? If you are sensible, just listen to the family and don't make trouble." In the eyes of the old man, Gu Cheng is still the ignorant child throwing a tantrum.

"I won't kill Mr. Zhao. It's because I'm sorry for Mr. Zhao. I should apologize to him. As for the princess, the emperor doesn't want her to live. Even if I don't go this time, someone else from the Gu family will go, no matter who Go, it won't change the fact that the princess will die, this was originally used by the emperor to plot against our family, didn't you also quietly transport the silver from the border area because you found something wrong?"

"Who told you this?" Gu Cheng never told his family members about this, even if the old man guessed it vaguely, it was just a guess, and he didn't dare to tell others about this guess.

Gu Cheng knelt on the ground and smiled wryly: "Grandpa, the person who went with me was Yuan Man, the governor of the Imperial Film Division. I should have grown a bit after being by her side for so long. The third sister said, "You are afraid of a war at the border and your family will be implicated." I brought the money back, but I went to see the account books at home. Although there is a corridor in the Jinzhou area, but because of the frequent wars, I have already shared the account with my family. How much money I can have depends on whether Dang Nian is safe or not , such a place, there is no need to make a special trip for the money, and call the Four Seas Escort without any cover, as if it is for people to see."

"Grandpa, I want to ask you, Jinzhou was robbed, and Tai|an Bank in Ling'an was a thief. Did you really lose so much money?"

This is what Gu Cheng figured out later, Gu Cheng always thought that the family had lost a lot of money because of the death of the princess, and was very tight, but slowly, Young Master Gu discovered that it didn't seem to be the case.

For example, although some servants have been dismissed from the family, they are all rough envoys and servants who can be recruited anywhere. On the contrary, there are not a few maids, servants, and mothers who demand more monthly money. The shop is still under his own name, but it is just rented out, and it is his own business in the end.

If the family is really so difficult, how can there be money to manage it?Take yourself out for the New Year?How could Grandpa not let go, showing the posture of paying the entire Tai|An Bank, insisting on saving himself?

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Cheng carefully. This was the first time he faced his little grandson. Before, he always thought that Gu Cheng would be impulsive and impulsive, and he would embrace unrealistic justice. He realized that he had always underestimated him. The rest of the family had never noticed anything, but he found out that something was wrong. After all, the emperor was interested in Tai|An Qianzhuang, and he wanted to leave a way out for himself.

"Are you here to Xingshi to inquire about crimes?" The old man admitted that Gu Cheng killed Zhao Yi to save him for the sake of family harmony, and asked him to find the envoy because he was in prison. Disaster, as for this time, in addition to not expecting Zhao Shijian to bite him, there is also the fact that the Gu family needs this handle for the emperor, so that the emperor will not shift his mind to other people, and the rest of the Gu family need Gu Xiao The young master came to prevent disaster.

The old man didn't know how much Gu Cheng knew, but his appearance still made the old man not sure what he was going to do.

"No." Gu Cheng knocked his head heavily on the ground: "I beg you to let me atone for my sin."

Gu Cheng straightened up, staring firmly into the old man's eyes, his eyes were resolute and resolute, with a calmness and courage that the old man had never seen before: "Grandpa, you give up on me, let me die."

Gu Cheng's words undoubtedly hit the old man's ears like a thunderbolt, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong: "What?"

The old man patted the table and stood up, but because he stood too hard, he didn't get up much, his eyes went blank, and he sat down again, holding the table tightly with his hands, the knuckles of his fingertips turned white, and he pushed it up in one breath, his chest was blocked. Uncomfortable, I can only gulp down my breath.

"Grandpa, you give up on me and let me die."

Young Master Gu repeated again, this is the best way he can think of, neither need to drag his family down because of him, nor need to be a villain who dares to do what he dares not to be, this is his choice, he chooses Use your own death to defend the justice in your heart.

"Grandpa, when you save me, give me the evidence that you bribed the officials. I will confess these crimes together, so that the family members will not be implicated." Those who committed this crime should be borne by themselves.

As soon as Gu Cheng finished speaking, the old man slapped Gu Cheng on the face, which swelled up half of Gu Cheng's face and spit out half a mouthful of blood. It can be seen how hard the beating was. The old man looked at him generously. He looked dead, trembling with anger, and the finger pointing at him couldn't stop trembling.

An old man fell down with all his strength. This slap made him feel worse than Gu Cheng, his chest was getting more and more congested, and he could only speak when he got better, but at this moment, he couldn't speak steadily: "Okay - okay -" Does this disloyal and unfilial thing know what he is talking about?Plead guilty?Is it because you want to be a hero?

"Do you know how much effort the family has put in to keep you?" The old man said anxiously, "Now you are telling me that you are going to plead guilty?"

"I know." Gu Cheng replied, "It is precisely because I know that I should shoulder my own responsibility and protect the Gu family."

The old man looked at Gu Cheng with a fearless face, felt relieved, and felt a headache, but he couldn't tell him his real plan, after all, he was unwilling to make him a living target, and Gu Cheng was stubborn, so it didn't make sense It's useless to scold or beat him, and the old man is also afraid that he will do something messy on the spur of the moment.

The old man rubbed the center of his brows, feeling really uncomfortable. He probably needed to take medicine. He wanted to coax the person back first, and then he said with a trembling tone: "I see, you go down first, let me Think about it carefully." Coax people back first, let people watch closely, delay for a while, talk about later, later.

How would you know, after hearing the old man's answer, Gu Cheng kowtowed again: "Grandpa, if you don't give it to me, I'll find it myself."

"What do you want to do?" The old man had a bad feeling.

Gu Cheng kowtowed three times in a row, stood up, opened the door, and under the unclean eyes of the servants, he took out a long whistle and blew it, like a long song that a bird suddenly remembered, followed by , Gu Cheng saw four men in black flying in front of his eyes, knocked out the servants neatly, gagged their mouths and tied them up, then followed Gu Cheng into the old lady's room and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

The old man was obviously stunned by this sudden turn of events, and when he came to his senses, he slapped the table furiously, and said cruel words, but his breath was unstable, and he lost his strength: "Presumptuous! Gu Cheng! What do you want to do? Deceive the master!" Ancestor! Come here!" But because of the pain all over his body, he lost his strength, his whole body was sore and limp, and his feet were even weaker. He showed the aura of an elder but couldn't do anything, only trembling from the anger.

"Stop shouting, the family is under the control of the people I brought." Gu Cheng replied: "Grandpa, if you don't want to give it to me, I can only find it myself. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. When I am convicted, I will release you."

These people were borrowed from Yuan Man by Gu Cheng, but Yuan Man didn't ask why, he just said that he left from Yu Ying Division, and only brought Hulu and Li Boyan out, so he gave him a letter, asking him to go to Yu Ying Division to find Chang Ce, Ask Chang Ce to help him, these men in black are all from Yuyingsi.

What Gu Cheng thought was that he would talk to his grandpa first, if he could convince his grandpa that would be the best, if not - he could only use his own method.

Young Master Gu doesn't know why Grandpa insists on protecting him. If it is because he loves him, if he doesn't know good or bad, this kind of love is not what Gu Cheng wants, and Gu Cheng also feels that he is not that important. He shouldn't bring down the whole family for his own sake. He is not worth it. Without his burden, the family may be a little more relaxed, and he should bear the consequences of his own planting.

The people in the family want to protect him, he thought about it, the best way is to trap them, they are trapped, even if they want to help themselves, they can't get out, so they can't do anything up.

The old man's nose was almost crooked with anger, he really didn't expect that Gu Cheng could do this, but he could only watch helplessly, his whole body twitched with anger, only feeling that his blood flowed backwards.

The four men in black rummaged through the old man, and sure enough they found the evidence from the hidden compartment under the bed. Gu Cheng took the evidence and saluted the old man, "Grandpa, grandson is gone, take care."

"Gu Cheng!" The old man was about to die of anger, coughed, feeling a bit fishy and sweet, no matter what, he swallowed it first, called Gu Cheng, the old man said angrily: "Are you stupid! I told you The family will use methods! Why do you have to die in such a hurry!" The words of the old man Gu almost lost all strength, most of them were breathless, drifting out, after all, he looked at the grown-up child, although there were some Take advantage of it, but how can you just watch him die!

"Grandpa." Gu Cheng's eyes were a little red. He knew that he must be angry with Grandpa for doing this, but he had no choice but to do so. His existence was like a bottomless pit. If he doesn't want to harm the family, he can only fill in his own hole. He can't rely on the family all the time, he has to do something.

In fact, he is also reluctant, who would be willing to die, but: "I can find out that there is a problem in the family because I am in it, but if you save me and leak money, how long do you think it will take the emperor to figure it out?" ?”

From Shen Shuxing's matter, Gu Cheng understood that the emperor is very powerful, and now he let it go, just because there are more important things, when the emperor comes back to his senses, he wants to deal with the Gu family, what should they do?Even Shen Shuxing's end was so miserable, how could the Gu family be any better?

Taking advantage of the fact that the loss can be stopped in time, if you don't do anything, do you really have to wait until the Gu family is hollowed out?How long can he hide things that he can figure out?Is it time to continue to spend money to prevent disasters?Or is it that the emperor cut the weeds and eradicated them once and for all?

The old man Gu was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that Gu Cheng would even think of this layer. The old man Gu saw something else in Gu Cheng. He was shocked, relieved, and sad. He remembered that Gu Cheng was a Very simple and innocent child, right and wrong, right and wrong, good and evil, straightforward, one-sided, but since when did he understand these twists and turns?

Gu Cheng cherished a big gift to Mrs. Gu: "Grandpa, you used to protect me. I was very ignorant and caused you trouble. This time, let me protect you once. Grandpa, take care."

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

The old man Gu looked at Gu Cheng's back and saw the perseverance and determination. The old man suddenly realized that his little grandson had grown up and was already a man of indomitable spirit. He coughed twice, and when he took it off again, he only saw blood on his hands, closed his eyes, and passed out directly.

Zhao Shijian was in his shabby house, eating a New Year’s Eve dinner alone, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, Zhao Shijian asked who it was, but no one answered, he opened the door and saw that Gu Cheng was covered with Standing outside the door with a snowy body, holding a box in his hand, he said, "Lord Zhao, I surrender myself."

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Cheng commuted his sentence for bribery of officials and was sentenced to death. He thought of surrendering himself and repented, and voluntarily handed in evidence to help the court eliminate corrupt officials. Yongzhou, on the road after the year.

When Young Master Gu knew about it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed at himself. He never thought that his long-cherished dream of serving the army and defending the country would come true in such a way.

While in prison, the Gu family never came to see Young Master Gu again, but Zhao Shijian came here to say goodbye. Young Master, this result now shows that your life should not die, it is God's will, so I have nothing to say, you are more promising than my son, live well and protect your family and country."

Young Master Gu lowered his head and said sincerely: "Lord Zhao, I'm sorry." Besides this, Young Master Gu really didn't know what else he could say.

"It's ok."

Young Master Gu looked up at Zhao Shijian in surprise, he thought that Zhao Shijian would never forgive him in this life.

There were tears in Zhao Shijian's eyes, how much sadness and relief were contained in the three words, even Zhao Shijian himself didn't know, it wasn't that he didn't hate or resent, this young man really proved that he deserves a change Given the opportunity, he did everything he said, and he himself did everything he could do. With such a result, no matter whether he is satisfied or not, he can only stop here.

He was ready to fight the Gu family to the death, but when Gu Cheng came looking for him with those things, it was difficult for Zhao Shijian to tell what mood he was in at that moment. Persistence gave rise to doubts, and the old man, who was nearly seventy years old and ready to do everything, felt tired for the first time.

After saying these three words, Zhao Shijian didn't say anything, took his luggage and left. The lonely and helpless back of this old man was always reflected in Gu Cheng's mind, but after this farewell, even if he left in the future Gu Cheng had deliberately looked for him, but he had never seen him again.
