Chapter 277: Confession
"I am the one who saved your life, you are already a dead man in the eyes of the eldest prince. They're looking for you everywhere, and if you don't die, they won't stop. I think you know that in your own heart, but don't leave it to chance. Even if you're not afraid of death, what about your family? Look at it! Soon, as long as you can't find you, the eldest prince will send someone to arrest your family and threaten you. β
Gu Chengyu felt that he was very unsuitable for interrogation, and Guo Shi was grinding and chirping, and he hadn't recognized the reality yet.
Guo Shi was silent, who is not afraid of death? Of course, he was afraid of death, and he not only wanted to live himself, but also wanted to protect his family.
He believed what the masked man said, and when he woke up like this, he realized that he was stupid before, and this was used by the great prince and adults. And now, they want to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Since they are unkind, don't blame him for being unjust.
Guo Shi's face was hideous, but then his mind cleared up, what good did he do to identify the eldest prince?
At least he is dead, and his parents, wife and children are still alive. If he is stabbed to the emperor, then his family will also end up in the same fate as the Wan family.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was a dead end.
He regrets it now, but he didn't expect that not only did he not get promoted, but he also lost his current black gauze hat, and he was afraid that he would even take his life.
"What's the benefit of me helping you identify the eldest prince? I'm going to lose my current position, and maybe my family. β
After speaking, Guo Shi was silent. The body that was curled up in pain just now lay on the ground motionless.
Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, this Guo Shi's mind was sober at this moment.
Guo Shi is not bad, Guo Shi has taken this step, whether it is advancing or retreating, it is a dead end.
If the emperor knew the truth, he would not let him go, and even his family would be harmed.
If you help the eldest prince hide it, at most he will die alone, and his family will still be alive and well.
A person who has a will to die is difficult to impress him.
"Lord Guo! Do you think that when you die, this matter will be settled? Don't you forget, what is the purpose of the master behind you, and is he the same as the purpose of the great prince? Lord Guo is too naΓ―ve. β
Gu Chengyu decided to try harder, he was really reluctant to say the truth powder. Guo Shi looks determined at this time, but it is actually very easy to overcome.
"This matter will break out sooner or later, and that person may not only have to solve the third prince, but he will not let the eldest prince go. When the time comes, you will die in vain, and your Guo family's fate will be no different from Wanfu. β
Gu Chengyu is not alarmist, the people behind Guo Shi must have a lot of plans, maybe Song Shujing and the eldest prince are also chess pieces in his hands.
Guo Shi suddenly realized that what the mask man said was true. Sure enough, the court battles have always been bloodless.
This all stems from his greed, in order to be promoted, he abandoned his conscience, how can he still think of the original intention of being an official in the imperial examination?
Guo Shi figured it out, since this masked man said so, there might be a way to protect his family.
"I can tell you what happened, and I can sign the confession. However, I have one condition, if you can do it, if you can't, I will retract my confession in court, and you can't help me. β
Guo Shi's description at this time was a little embarrassing, the official mansion on his body was wrinkled, and his body was covered with mud, which was stained by rolling on the ground just now.
He looked tired, not knowing if it was because of the toss just now, or because he knew that his life was going to be short.
"If you want me to save your family's life, I can't promise you. You also know that you are a big crime of raiding your family and exterminating your family, framing the court officials, and framing the prince. The emperor knows, even if he dismantles you, it will not be enough to calm the anger in his heart. β
Guo Shi became excited when he heard this, he just wanted to save his family's life, could it be that the masked man had no choice?
He struggled to sit up, his eyes looking at Gu Chengyu with resentment. Isn't the purpose of this masked man to bring down the great prince? Or want to save Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing.
"Since you want me to help Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing overturn the case, and you don't want to pay any price, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
Gu Chengyu sneered when he heard this, "Master Guo, don't worry! I can't save the life of your whole house, but I can keep one or two heirs. β
When Guo Shi heard this, he remembered his newborn youngest son, whose eldest son was already in his twenties, and he had been married for two years and had no heirs.
But he often walks outside, almost all the sons of the family know him, and the eldest son can't keep it.
The third child has just been born, and he is from the concubine Liu, and he is not yet a month, and no one recognizes him except for the house. If you find a replacement, you will definitely survive, not to seek wealth and wealth, but to leave incense for Guo's family safely.
Gu Chengyu heard that the dark room was opened, and then a footstep came, listening to the breathing and footsteps, it should be Ming Yan coming.
He hurried to the entrance of the cave, Ming Yan didn't cover his face, Guo had to hand it over to Hu Maoqing, he didn't want to be involved.
The eldest prince is deeply favored by the emperor, even if the emperor knows that the silver belongs to the eldest prince, he will not necessarily have a big punishment for the eldest prince, unless the eldest prince wants to rebel.
When I entered the entrance, I saw that it was a Ming Yan. Ming Yan was startled when she saw the mask Gu Chengyu was wearing, and took a closer look, wasn't this the mask that Gongzi bought at the Lantern Festival last time?
Gu Chengyu put his index finger in his mouth, and Ming Yan immediately understood, knowing that he wanted to cover his face, in fact, he had already prepared it.
Gu Chengyu lowered his voice and asked him to go back and get a pen and paper to write a confession for Guo Shi.
When he returned to the dark room, Guo Shi glanced at him and made another request.
"I'll write a letter, and you give it to my father, and he knows what to do. I don't have many heirs, and for the sake of me being useful, I hope you can help me keep a few more. In addition, find them a place away from the capital, give them some silver, and live incognito. β
Guo Shi made this decision very difficult, he was thinking about the candidate to leave, his eldest son was taught by him personally, but he had to give up, how could he be willing?
and his second daughter, who is only twelve years old this year, and his wife is talking about kissing these days.
His parents are already old, his father used to be an official to worship the head of the household, and there are many people in the clan who are officials in the court.
His Guo ancestor is an official eunuch, and the glory of the former family will be ruined, he is the sinner of the Guo family!
He regretted not being at the beginning, it was all his ghost. My father once said that he was too eager for quick success and joined the faction too early.
But he scoffed, always thinking that the eldest prince was the emperor's candidate for the prince, so he began to be unscrupulous. But he forgot that the current country is still the emperor, not the prince.
Officialdom is changing rapidly, and there are many brocade robes in front of the house today, and you will be able to do it tomorrow.
He sighed deeply, suppressed the grief in his heart, and said hoarsely: "Write a confession!" β
