Chapter 734: Disappearance
But Zhang Salamander knew that Gu Zaixing was not dead at all, and he was living incognito in the Gu family's farm on the outskirts of Beijing......
Gu Zaixing is indeed not dead, his family spent a lot of money to bribe the guards of the prison of the Criminal Department, and secretly exchanged him out of the prison with the corpse of a fallen beggar
In ancient prisons, this kind of method of Li Dai Taostiff is simply common, and there are countless rich and powerful people who rely on it to escape. In front of this kind of thing, you have to keep your mouth shut, and once you stab it out, no matter who you can't eat, you have to walk around. Especially for a princely family like the Gu family, all the things in the east window will inevitably become the focus of attention, and at that time, the Danshu iron coupon will not be able to protect them.
The Gu family has a clear understanding of this, but Gu Chenggu is already sorry for his four sons, and he can no longer watch his eldest son and eldest grandson being beheaded...... In fact, Gu Zaixing was imprisoned, and Gu Chengcheng pleaded guilty, and expressed his willingness to exchange his title and official position for the life of his eldest grandson. was dismissed by Zhu Di as a prince for breaking the law and being guilty of the same crime as the common people, but he didn't give him this face.
On the surface, this incident is that the emperor is killing chickens and monkeys to deter the children of the powerful, but in fact, Zhu Di is still angry about Gu Cheng's refusal to help him rebel back then. It is only because Gu Cheng has guarded Guizhou for 40 years before and after that he has an irreplaceable and important role in stabilizing the border that he has not fallen behind. This time, he insisted on killing Gu Cheng's grandson, and he also meant to punish him.
Gu Cheng was enraged by the emperor, he had already killed his four sons because of Zhu Di, and he couldn't imagine that Zhu Di would kill his grandson again. At his behest, Gu Xingzu and his uncle Gu Liang began to try to rescue Gu Zaixing. Especially Gu Xingzu, in the years when his father was executed and his grandfather did not return, it was always the eldest brother Gu Zaixing who protected him, so that he could survive those difficult days. Therefore, in Gu Xingzu's heart, the eldest brother is his most important person, and he has to save him even if he wants to save him
But the Gu family is honest, because of Gu Cheng's uncooperative attitude when he was in Jingjing, he was somewhat marginalized in the elite circle in the capital. Gu Xingzu's personality is also very strict and old-fashioned, and he will never make friends with some people of the three religions and nine streams, at this time, he really wants to use these people, and he can't find where the Buddha's feet are if he wants to hold on to the Buddha's feet temporarily. He could only turn to his best friend Zhang Salamander for help.
Zhang Ergongzi was born in the most glorious, dazzling, and powerful Guogong Mansion in the Yongle Dynasty, but he was uninhibited and fishy, and had a relationship with both black and white in the capital. When Gu Xingzu found him, he didn't have any bad intentions, but he was very enthusiastic about being in Zhang Luo for his friends. Although he didn't use his line later, Gu Xingzu's sixth uncle got the matter done, but Gu Xingzu was still very grateful to Zhang Salamander, and of course he didn't forget to tell him not to talk nonsense.
Zhang Salamander naturally swore to heaven that he would never leak the news, so Gu Xingzu put his mind at ease. After that, Zhang Salamander also asked Gu Xingzu where his eldest brother had gone now. Gu Xingzu looked flustered for a moment, and then said that the old man sent the eldest brother to Guizhou, where the emperor was far away, and those tribal leaders only recognized his grandfather and did not recognize the Ming Emperor, and the eldest brother was very safe.
Originally, this matter was in the past, but the relationship between the two was too close, and later Zhang Salamander now Gu Xingzu acted a little mysterious, and every once in a while, he would go out of the city to live in his manor. Zhang Salamander originally thought that Gu Xingzu was raising a small one outside behind his wife's back, and in the spirit of mischief, people stared at Gu Xingzu's tip, but it turned out that what was hiding in Gujiazhuang was not a jade-faced girl, but Gu Zaixing, who should live with the savages in Guizhou......
At that time, I don't know what kind of psychology Zhang Salamander didn't break this matter, but his eyes when he looked at Gu Xingzu couldn't help but change, especially after Gu Xingzu inherited the title, Zhang Salamander felt more like a strange commodity. Instead of reminding Gu Xingzu to change his eldest brother's place, he sent someone to keep an eye on Gu Jiazhuang, so as not to prevent Gu Zaixing from disappearing from his sight.
That day, Zhang Salamander told Wang Xian that he had Gu Xingzu's handle, which was what he was referring to. He actually thought of using Gu Zaixing's matter to blackmail Gu Xingzu, but he also knew that once he broke this matter, then the friends of the two would also do it, so he didn't want to be this kind of lack of morality unless it was absolutely necessary. Now listening to Wang Ning's meaning, this old thing seems to have some good ideas, Zhang Salamander hurriedly bowed his body and poured him wine, nodded and said again and again: "Indeed, the King of Han is too heavy on Xiao Gu Shien, I just rely on old friendships, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it." He said with a flattering smile: "Please also ask my uncle to teach me." ”
"Hmm." Wang Ning smiled faintly and said, "Virtuous nephew, people can't just think about relying on themselves, but also learn to borrow strength." You take him to a place and make sure that the results are immediate
"Where is such a god?" Zhang Salamander said, and without waiting for Wang Ning to speak, he suddenly said, "You mean, Qingshou Temple?" ”
"Hehe, that's good." Wang Ning showed a teachable look in his eyes, and said, "I just went there and figured it out." If you can't convince him, you might as well take him to try your luck. ”
"Master Dao Yan will help speak?" Zhang Salamander was pleasantly surprised.
"You'll know when you go." Wang Ning pretended to smile mysteriously.
"Okay, I got it." Zhang Salamander nodded, and when he saw that he had asked in vain, he stopped asking.
"Anyway, if you can pull the Marquis of Zhenyuan over, our deck of cards will be easy to play." Wang Ning took a sip of wine and said quietly: "The two major governor's mansions plus your right guard of the government army, such a huge force, whoever falls will win, even if we want to sell ourselves, we have to sell it for a good price, right?" ”
"It's still uncle's shrewdness," Zhang Salamander listened to his blood boiling, and excitedly poured wine for Wang Ning: "The little nephew is sure that only the uncle's horse is Zhan, let's live and die together, and share wealth and prosperity." ”
"Okay" Wang Ning nodded, and also burst out with some pride, clinking glasses with him and said: "Life and death together, wealth and prosperity together"
Coming out of Wang Ning's place, it was already past noon, and Zhang Salamander rushed to the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion with the strength of wine, wanting to take Gu Xingzu together with one go. Who knew that as soon as he entered the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he saw that the family members in the house were all solemn and hurried, that is, he was too familiar with Gu Xingzu, and coming to his house was the same as going back to his own house, otherwise it would be a problem whether the family in the house could let him in.
Without notifying, he went straight into the main hall of the Hou Mansion, and saw Gu Xingzu's two uncles Gu Yong and Gu Liang sitting on the right seat.
Gu Xingzu sat on the chair below, saw Zhang Salamander coming, and motioned for him to sit down next to him with his eyes. After Zhang Salamander sat down, he felt that there was a little more awkwardness in the originally tense atmosphere. Seeing that Gu Yong and Gu Liang didn't speak, he touched his nose and whispered to Gu Xingzu: "Isn't it time for me to come?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Xingzu nodded slightly, and said with anxiety on his face: "Something happened at home." ”
"Since Xingzu has guests, then we will go back first." At this time, Gu Yong stood up, and Gu Qing on the side also hurriedly got up. I only heard Gu Yong say: "Everyone wants to find a way to do that, but do it quietly and quietly." ”
Gu Yong said and glanced deeply at Zhang Salamander, who smiled obediently: "I haven't heard anything, I don't know anything, you just treat me as if I haven't been here." ”
"Hehe, Brother Salamander, don't be weird," Gu Qing squeezed out a smile and said, "You and Xingzu are brothers and sisters, how can we not trust you?" That being said, until his brothers left, there was no mention of what had happened to him.
After sending off the two uncles, Gu Xingzu and Zhang Salamander went for a walk in the back garden. Pots of budding chrysanthemums have been placed in the back garden. Seeing these flower pots, Zhang Salamander remembered something, patted the back of his head and said: "It looks like September, and the season of chrysanthemum and crab eating is coming." ”
"You still have this leisure and leisure," Gu Xingzu was born with deep and low facial features, with a dark green robe, and he was like a melancholy prince. "I saw the autumn colors in this garden, but I only thought of the bleak scene of the autumn wind rising and sweeping away the fallen leaves."
"How can there be real autumn in Beijing," Zhang Salamander said with a smile: "I grew up in Beijing when I was a child, and autumn there is amazing. He lowered his voice and said, "What's going on?" ”
"This ......" If it was before, Gu Xingzu would definitely tell his good friend directly, but after becoming the Marquis of Zhenyuan and becoming the governor of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, he acted much more steadily than before, and he hesitated for a while and didn't know what to tell him.
"People say that if you are rich, don't forget each other. It's good that you have forgotten your brother when you become a marquis. Zhang Salamander snorted dissatisfiedly: "It's inconvenient to say it, forget it, I'll also leave, so as to save you something." ”
"Didn't I say I wouldn't sue you?" Gu Xingzu hurriedly grabbed him and said with a wry smile: "You have to let me think about it." ”
"Then what do you say, what do you have to say, we still have to think so much?" Zhang Salamander stood still.
"Hey, well, my eldest brother isn't actually dead, you know that." When Gu Xingzu said this, he couldn't help but look around, and saw that there was no one in the garden, so he was relieved.
"Yes." Zhang Salamander nodded and said, "At that time, I also helped you dredge guò, but your sixth uncle is still very capable, so he got this done first." After a pause, he asked, "By the way, how is our eldest brother doing in Guizhou?" ”
"He's missing." Gu Xingzu sighed, his worry overflowing.
"Oh?" Zhang Salamander was shocked and said, "When is it?" ”
"Disappeared last night." Gu Xingzu sighed again.
"So fast?" Zhang Salamander's eyes widened, as if he really thought that the eldest brother of the Gu family was still in Guizhou.
"Actually......" Gu Xingzu hesitated, and said honestly: "My eldest brother is not in Guizhou......"
"And where is he?" Zhang Salamander felt a little guilty in his heart, compared to Xiao Gu's honesty to himself, he still calculated him, which was really not interesting.
"In Gujiazhuang." Gu Xingzu said.
