Chapter 109: Evidence of Guilt
οΌ
Gu Chengyu sighed helplessly, turned around and entered the house again. It's not that I'm curious about the evidence of that act, but because there must be evidence against the teacher Liang Zhirui.
If it weren't for the teacher, he would have gone long ago.
"Girl, forget it!" Seeing that Gu Chengyu refused to help, Uncle Qin hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
If the evidence is taken out, but Master Gu is unwilling to avenge them and takes the evidence away, what should I do?
After all, it is related to Master Gu's teacher, who is close to Master Gu. What's more, Liang Zhirui is still the prince's teacher, and his status is very respectful, how can they fight each other?
Liu Su'er didn't hear Uncle Qin's advice, she laboriously moved the wooden pedal on the side of the kang, Gu Chengyu took a special look, there were floor tiles under the pedal, and there was nothing abnormal in it.
However, he knew that there must be something else under that floor tile.
Liu Su'er ran to the dresser in the house and took out a very thin silver hairpin from the box.
If it weren't for this silver hairpin, it would not be easy to remove that floor tile. As soon as he moved away, Gu Chengyu found a yellow oil-paper bag lying in it.
Liu Su'er took out the oiled paper bag and carefully placed it on the table.
At that time, my grandfather not only put a lot of silver tickets in the swaddling clothes of the little girl, but also left a few letters. There is also a private seal of the grandfather, and a list of court officials who have fornicated with foreign countries. β
Liu Su'er opened the oil paper bag in her hand and explained to Gu Chengyu.
She didn't hide it from Gu Chengyu, just like those gamblers in the gambling house, she wanted to gamble. The worst result is just Fanghua's early death, but as long as Gu Chengyu still has a conscience, he will not kill them.
She mustered up the courage to come to the capital, and she wanted to seek justice for her family, even if she had to pay the price of her life.
Since learning about her background ten years ago, she has been ready to sacrifice for her family at any time.
Over the years, Mother Tan has raised her according to the rules of the family daughter, and even invited two nurturing grandmothers for her, in order not to fall into their Xue family's name.
As a Xue woman, you must not retreat because you are greedy for life and afraid of death!
Gu Chengyu set his eyes on a small roster that was revealed from the oiled paper bag, this was the list collected by Xue Haozhen's father and son back then, but I didn't know if it was true or not.
Liu Su'er took out the letter and pushed it in front of Gu Chengyu.
"Lord Gu, please take a look!"
Gu Chengyu didn't stretch out his hand, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You trust this official so much?" Aren't you afraid that the official will destroy all this incriminating evidence? β
Liu Su'er's pale face bloomed into a bright smile, "The little girl has no foundation, if Lord Gu really wants to destroy the evidence, or even wants to kill people, the little girl and Mother Tan have no way to resist." It was also after careful consideration that Lord Gu was selected at the beginning, and I believe in my own judgment, Lord Gu is a good official, and he is a good person. β
Liu Su'er's eyes were clear and pure, which suddenly made Gu Chengyu a little uncomfortable. He seemed to see his selfish and indifferent self in the eyes of the other party.
But in just an instant, Gu Chengyu returned to normal. Everyone's life is different, he just does things according to his own heart.
What if he is selfish? Life is only a few decades in the world, when you live for yourself, where does so much righteousness come from?
Besides, doesn't Liu Suer have unscrupulous means? Didn't he also use a trick to stop his carriage and try to approach him?
Therefore, the other party just has a pair of eyes that are good at deception.
However, after the other party knew about the relationship between him and Liang Zhirui, he even put all the evidence in front of him. I really don't know if the other party is naΓ―ve enough to be stupid, or if she is too confident in her own judgment?
Gu Chengyu nodded, noncommittal.
If these evidences are really unfavorable to Liang Zhirui, then he may really take these evidences, he is not a saint after all.
But after taking it, he will naturally find out the truth of the year.
Without reading the letter, he opened the list first.
I saw that the person who was the leader was Liang Zhirui. He settled down and continued to look down, but the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
There are actually not many names on this list, only sixteen. After a while, Gu Chengyu finished reading the list.
Although the number of words is not much, Gu Chengyu still feels incredible. There were as many as 16 officials in the court who colluded with foreign countries, and many of them were high-ranking officials.
These officials have six to two ranks, including Beijing officials and exiled officials. And these officials have now dispersed to various places.
Gu Chengyu also saw a few acquaintances among them, Yang Shiqi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Liang Shaowei, the Marquis of Anhe Houfu, and Mao Jinyuan, the right attendant of the Household Department......
These are all Beijing officials, and isn't Liang Shaowei the teacher's relatives? The two haven't come out with five suits yet!
That's right, the teacher is also listed in the first place in this list, and it is not unusual to think that Liang Shaowei is listed among them.
It's just that the official positions of these people are not low, what are the collaborators and traitors to the country? It's incredible.
Gu Chengyu suddenly thought that this was a list more than ten years ago, if at least half of the people in these lists were true, then how far would the number of people in the court spread now?
Needless to say, the number of people is definitely increasing year by year, and those people will not give up and continue to recruit ministers from the DPRK and China, Gu Chengyu suddenly felt shuddered. Perhaps without his knowledge, there are many officials around him who collude with Daxing.
Just a moment later, Gu Chengyu put the list back in its place, and the authenticity of this list is still up for debate.
Then he picked up one of the letters and looked at the end of the letter, which was written by Xue Haozhen.
"On the tenth day of April in the 49th year of Dayan, Weichen accidentally discovered that a group of officials led by Liang Zhirui had colluded with Wei Dan, the prince of Daxing. Wechen was terrified and didn't want to believe it.
Liang Zhirui has been an official in the same dynasty as this official for many years, and his temperament is well known. He is a good official who is honest and upright, and who truly works for the well-being of the people, how can this person be a traitor who fornicates with foreign countries? It's incredible. For this reason, Wechen decided to secretly collect evidence.
Wechen has been paying close attention to the movements of Liang Zhirui and other officials, and finally gained a harvest on the eighth day of December in the 50th year of Dayan. On the same day, a letter from Liang Zhirui in collusion with Wei Dan was intercepted.
At that time, the war at the border was about to start, and this letter actually contained the deployment of the troops assigned by the Holy Lord for the war, as well as a detailed explanation of the generals who went to meet the battle.
Wechen didn't want to believe that Liang Zhirui would do such a thing, but the facts were in front of him, so Wechen had to believe it.
Even if he is heartbroken, Weichen must hand over this evidence to the emperor, otherwise Weichen will lose his trust in the emperor.
The other few letters are letters exchanged between officials of the DPRK and China in collusion with Daxing, and the emperor is also invited to take a look! β
When Gu Chengyu saw this, he couldn't help but turn pale.
