Chapter 307
"What will happen to Ah Qin, what will happen to him." Gu Yanfei's voice was calm and unwavering, like cutting ice and jade, revealing an almost cold calm.
The talisman in the purse was drawn by Gu Yanfei yesterday, and he told Lu Si to give it to the son of the Hua family with his own hands, and asked the other party to admit that he is Hua Xi.
As the saying goes, "what you say follows the law".
Wei Jiaoniang's eyes were shining, she poured tea for Gu Yanfei herself, and respected Gu Yanfei silently.
The two smiled tacitly.
People on the street entered the tea shop one after another, and you and I talked about the incident just now:
"The person who just fell off the horse seems to have been sent to the hospital in front."
"That young master seems to be suffering from a high fever, and his body is still convulsing, as if he was insane... It is said that he is about to die. It is really pitiful. He is young. I heard that he just got married today."
The tea guests sighed endlessly, and the more they talked, the more lively they became.
"Yes, yes." Another plump middle-aged woman came in from behind, chatting happily with the tea drinkers in front, "Dr. Man cast a spell."
"Also say..."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman showed a strange and complicated expression, hesitated to speak, as if she didn't know what to say.
Immediately, another young woman tugged on her sleeve curiously and asked, "Sister, what else did Dr. Wan say?"
The middle-aged woman was still a little hesitant, another old man who had just entered the tea shop said for her: "The people in Wancaotang said that it was the second girl Gu who did it."
There was silence in the tea shop.
All the tea drinkers around heard it, and they were all dumbfounded, some couldn't believe their ears.
"How is it possible?" The young woman subconsciously raised her voice, "Miss Gu Er is a kind-hearted little fairy who has saved many children."
"What I said is true!" The old man was angry, and said angrily, "I heard it with my own ears just now, and it was the second girl Gu. If you don't believe me, you can go to Wancaotang to say hello."
These words naturally reached the ears of Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang.
The two looked at each other in astonishment, and the teacups in their hands stopped in mid-air.
"..." Gu Yanfei showed a rare stunned look on his small face, and raised his willow eyebrows.
Now it's interesting.
Nonsense! Wei Jiaoniang was so angry that her face turned blue, and she almost patted the table, but Gu Yanfei quickly pressed her wrist.
Wei Jiaoniang couldn't help turning her head to look at Gu Yanfei, her black and white eyes seemed to be able to speak, she said indignantly: Who is talking nonsense!
Gu Yanfei shook her head, curled her lips into a smile, revealing a pair of shallow dimples on her lips, her eyes were as calm as water, signaling Wei Jiaoniang to be calm and calm.
The tea drinkers in the tea shop became more lively and energetic as they talked.
"It doesn't make sense." The young woman still didn't believe it, "How did the people in Wancaotang know that it was Miss Gu who cast a sorcery on that young master?"
Several tea guests nearby also thought it was reasonable, and said one after another: "Yes, empty talk and white teeth, there is no evidence."
"It can't be a personal illness, let's say it was caused by the second girl Gu."
"Who doesn't know that the second girl Gu has a benevolent heart and has saved countless people, just like the reincarnation of Guanyin!" The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up, showing a look of reverence, and she praised Gu Yanfei again and again, "She must not It will hurt people!"
"I don't know what the owner of Wancaotang has in mind. It must be that Miss Gu used sorcery to harm people!"
"Hmph!" the old man said with a sneer and twisting his beard, "If you say that you have saved countless people, the owner of Wancaotang has also saved countless people. The miraculous medicine Penicillium Powder of Wancaotang was developed by the owner himself."
"My grandson's arm bones were broken due to a fall, and he had a persistent high fever. He went to several medical clinics but failed. Later, he was cured with the magic medicine of Wancaotang."
"The owner of Wancaotang has such abilities, so he must be very knowledgeable. He must not be talking nonsense!"
Speaking of the owner of Wancaotang, the old man's wrinkled old face was full of gratitude.
"The owner?" Wei Jiaoniang grasped the key words, and while holding the teapot, asked Gu Yanfei in a low voice, "Yanfei, do you know who the owner of Wancaotang is? Why is he talking nonsense!"
"Gu Yunxiu." Gu Yanfei said three words firmly.
What? ! Wei Jiaoniang was stunned again, blinked slowly, slipped her hand, and almost dropped the teapot.
Gu Yanfei took the teapot from Wei Jiaoniang's hands smoothly, and added barley tea to both of them. The unique burnt aroma of barley tea radiated with the heat.
Gu Yanfei drank tea leisurely and looked in the direction of Wancaotang.
The so-called "penicillium powder" sold by this medical center is clearly the penicillin that was recorded in the "Taizu Handbook". clearly.
Gu Yanfei naturally learned about these things from Chu Yi.
Wei Jiaoniang was still immersed in the shock brought by the news, and muttered in her mouth: "It's actually Gu Yunxie."
When the two were whispering, the tea customers in the tea shop were still arguing endlessly. Some people thought that the owner of Wancaotang was telling the truth, and more people thought that the second girl Gu was kind and could not harm others.
Neither party can convince the other.
"Whether this matter has anything to do with Miss Gu or not, we'll just have to wait and see." Another old woman came in from outside the tea shop and interjected enthusiastically, "I just came from Wancaotang, the one who fell from the horse The young master's life is in danger, his parents said they would go to the Gu mansion to seek justice from the second girl Gu."
"That's great!" A plainly dressed scholar in blue next to him echoed, "It's right and wrong, just confront it face to face!"
"They still have the face to confront you?" Wei Jiaoniang lowered her voice and said to Gu Yanfei, looking at the gate of Ten Thousand Grass Hall, almost laughing, her eyes were cold.
She finally knew how shameless this shameless person was.
Their son's life is his life, but Ah Qin's life is not his life? !
Ah Qin has been delicate since she was a child, and grew up under the pampering of her parents and elder brother. The past fifteen years have been smooth and smooth, and she has never suffered such a serious crime!
There seemed to be a fire burning in Wei Jiaoniang's heart, every time she thought of Lu Qin lying weak and unconscious on the bed, she couldn't bear it, she hated the despicable Hua family, and complained that the second wife Lu was really confused.
There was more noise in the tea shop.
Several tea drinkers around also felt that what the scholar said was reasonable, and they all nodded, thinking that they should be confronted.
The scholar in blue wanted to say something more, but happened to see a young scholar following behind the old woman, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Han, you are here! We have been waiting for you for a while."
Han Shusheng walked quickly to the table where the blue-clothed scholar and the others were sitting, cupped his hands, showed a forced smile, and said, "My little brother is late."
The scholar in blue looked him up and down, and couldn't help but said, "Brother Han, why do you look so lost?"
After Han Shusheng sat down, he took a sip of tea and said with a complicated expression: "Just now I went to Wancaotang..."
The scholars at the same table looked at each other, feeling strange: their classmate, who usually keeps a deaf ear to the outside world and only reads sage books, unexpectedly went to Ten Thousand Herbal Hall to watch the excitement today.
Han Shusheng took another sip of tea, and continued in a difficult tone: "I just heard the owner of Wancaotang say that the second girl Gu is the daughter of Gu Ce, Marquis of Xian Dingyuan."
Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, there was an instant uproar in the tea shop.
Not only the few scholars at the same table were shocked, but even the other tea guests around were also shocked.
For a while, words such as "Gu Ce", "Yangzhou", "Nanyue", "surrender the enemy" and so on rang out one after another in the tea shop.
Han Shusheng drank several cups of tea in a row, his eyes gradually darkened, and a heavy shadow flashed across.
After the emperor ascended the throne last year, he ordered the establishment of Enke. The Qiu Wei of last autumn and the Chun Wei of this spring are both Enke.
The imperial examinations are held every three years, and Enke is something that can be met but not sought after. His family is poor. In order to keep up with Enke, he came to the capital before the Chinese New Year and temporarily lived in a temple. He had heard a lot of rumors about Miss Gu before, so he still admired her for her righteous deeds.
He didn't know until today that the second girl Gu that everyone praised was actually the daughter of Gu Ce!
"Brother Han, what else did you hear in Ten Thousand Grass Hall?" The blue-clothed scholar calmed down and asked.
Han Shusheng, who was a bit flashy, came back to his senses and betrothed the young master Hua who fell from the horse to the third girl from the Lu family. The ins and outs of the curse were roughly explained.
"How unreasonable!" The blue-clothed scholar slapped the table heavily, and said with righteous indignation, "This second girl, Gu, is openly harming people just because her friend is unwilling to marry. This is at the feet of the emperor, and it is too lawless." .”
"Lawless, really lawless!"
The blue-clothed scholar's gentle face was flushed with anger, and several veins popped out on his forehead.
The other two scholars at the same table were also full of righteous indignation.
They are all scholars, and they hate bullying men and women the most in their lives.
Han Shusheng sneered, and said mockingly: "Like a father, like a daughter, Gu Ce's daughter really deserves to be his daughter, ruthless!"
The young woman who was full of praise for Miss Gu Er just now couldn't believe it, so she went directly to Scholar Han and said, "Is what you said true? Miss Gu Er is really Gu Ce's daughter..."
"It's true!" Han Shusheng's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, his expression was solemn, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He sat upright on the bench, one hand on the table clenched into a fist, and his thin body was as tight as a fully drawn bowstring.
"By the way, Miss Gu must be Gu Ce's daughter." The old man next to him said angrily, "Not long ago, I heard that Gu's daughter was going to reverse Gu Ce's case. I thought it was just a rumor. Now it seems that this case There is no storm, no waves!”
"What?!" Han Shusheng lost his voice in disbelief, "To vindicate Gu Ce?!"
"Because of Gu Ce's fault alone, tens of thousands of innocent people died in Yangzhou. For this reason, my Dajing not only paid compensation, but also cut off the waters of Huangshuiyang to South Vietnam, in exchange for the peace between the two countries."
"Gu Ce is Dajing's sinner!"
"Even if you beat him to ashes, it's hard to get rid of his crime!" Han Shusheng gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but slapped the table angrily.
Several classmates exchanged a look, and the blue-clothed scholar said kindly, "Brother Han, I'm sorry."
A middle-aged tea drinker next to him realized something, and asked casually: "From the accent of this little brother Han, he seems to be from Yangzhou?"
"I'm from Tailing City, Yangzhou." Han Shusheng's voice became more difficult, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Several classmates at the same table showed sympathy.
They also know that Han Shusheng's home is in Tailing City. Nine years ago, when the South Vietnamese army raided Yangzhou, Han Shusheng was studying in Bailu Academy, so he escaped the catastrophe, and all his family members died in Tailing City. No one survived.
Han Shusheng's eye circles became even redder, like blood and fire, he raised his head and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, revealing a bit of indescribable grief and indignation.
Nine years ago, before he left home to go to the academy in the first month of the lunar year, his parents, brother, sister-in-law and younger siblings still talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and the whole family was happy.
But in just three months, Tailing City and even the surrounding villages and towns were empty. His parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and younger siblings all died, and he became a rootless duckweed. Under five years old!
That year, after the South Vietnamese retreated, he also went back to Tailing City once, and the whole village was completely empty.
Everyone is dead!
Everyone he knew was dead!
A turbulent emotion like a sea wave suddenly covered and submerged his whole body...
He was full of anger and sorrow, and his teeth were clenched.
If Gu Ce was still alive, he really wanted to eat his flesh and blood, but Gu Ce died nine years ago, his body was incomplete...
When they heard that Han Shusheng's home was in Tailing City, everyone suddenly realized, and immediately guessed that most of the relatives of this scholar died in the war nine years ago.
Everyone cast sympathetic eyes on Han Shusheng.
The blue-clothed scholar patted Han Shusheng on the shoulder, and said, "This Second Miss Gu is just a mere little girl. She reversed the case if she wanted to. The most important thing is to look at the meaning of the court."
Others also joined in.
Until a yin and yang voice suddenly sounded: "There is a saying, there are people in the court who are easy to handle, and there is someone in the court for the second girl Gu."
Everyone couldn't help looking at the owner of the voice, a middle-aged tea drinker with a square face.
"Who?" Someone blurted out, "Could it be the Duke of Wei? I heard that Miss Gu Er saved Duke Wei's life!"
"Wrong, wrong!" The middle-aged tea drinker shook his head with a sneer.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he said, "It's the First Prince."
"Eldest prince?! How is this possible!" The blue-clothed scholar thought it was impossible, "Back then, it was because of Gu Cezhi's fault that the elder prince went to South Vietnam to be a hostage for eight years!"
The person who hates Gu Ce the most should be the First Prince.
"Then you don't know." The middle-aged tea guest took a sip of tea and said slowly, "This daughter of the Gu family is very skilled, she has fascinated the eldest prince, she is the eldest prince's darling, darling! "
"In order to please her, the First Prince even went to Wuliang Temple to pay homage to Gu Ce's memorial tablet a while ago!"
Everyone was shocked again.
In the tea shop, it was quiet for a while, and a depressive atmosphere filled the air.
"..." Gu Yanfei quietly looked at the few scholars at that table, his pupils gradually became darker.
When the wind blew, the few strands of blue hair on her cheeks were blown up by the wind, and a few strands brushed her snow-white and flawless cheeks scatteredly, covering her whole body with a layer of sadness.
Gu Ce's notoriety has lasted for two lifetimes. Everyone scolded him as a sinner of the Dajing Dynasty and wished that he would never be reborn forever.
In her last life, she couldn't protect herself, she was helpless, she could only listen to others scolding him, accusing him, belittling him...
"Snapped!"
Wei Jiaoniang slapped the table heavily, pointed at those scholars and reprimanded, "Bookworm, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Thanks to all of you who have read so many books, you can only follow what others say. I think the more you read, the more confused you become!"
"People like you have been admitted to Jinshi, and they will go to local officials in the future, that is, they will make some unjust, false and wrong cases, harming others and themselves!"
Wei Jiaoniang heard her grandfather Wei Guogong talk about the battle nine years ago.
The grandfather said that there were many doubts about Gu Ce's surrender to the enemy back then, and the late emperor was afraid of the nobles, so he could have used Gu Ce's incident to demonstrate to other nobles, but the late emperor did not do so, but lightly revealed it, and did not even give it to the emperor. Gu Ce set a clear charge.
If something goes wrong, there must be something strange.
According to him, nine out of ten times out of ten, the first emperor had a guilty conscience.
All the scholars at that table looked towards Wei Jiaoniang.
The blue-clothed scholar frowned tightly, first in anger, then in disdain, and snorted coldly: "I don't know why, but there are still people who want to defend Gu Ce, a sinner who surrendered to the enemy!"
"We men, don't argue with a woman who doesn't know right from wrong." Another scholar interjected.
A few students wanted to comfort Han Shusheng, but they saw Han Shusheng standing up suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, his resolute expression seemed to have made up his mind.
"Brother Han!" The blue-clothed scholar looked at Han Shusheng worriedly, for fear that he would be stimulated by something.
"I'm going to sue!" Shusheng Han took a deep breath, and said word by word, "For my family members who died!"
Gu Ce is dead, and he can neither question him nor watch him being tortured with his own eyes.
But there is one thing that he can do now!
He must not just watch Gu Ce, a sinner who deserved to go to the 18th floor of hell, be rehabilitated!
Otherwise, what's the use of him reading so many books? !
"Wait!" The blue-clothed scholar got up quickly, and said to Shang Han's firm eyes, "I'll go with you!"
"Let's sue the imperial court together!"
"His Royal Highness wants to risk the displeasure of the world to rehabilitate Gu Ce, how can we sit idly by!"
Several other scholars at the same table also stood up out of righteous indignation, echoed one after another, and even several scholars at the next table also said that they would go with them, and some people said that they would call their classmates to come together, which seemed to be echoed by everyone.
As if these scholars hadn't seen Wei Jiaoniang, they surrounded Han Shusheng and left, all of them excited and bright.
The other tea drinkers in the tea shop were stunned. They never expected that things would develop in this direction. Immediately afterwards, there was an uproar in the tea shop again, and an extremely excited emotion filled the air.
It does not make sense? ! Wei Jiaoniang frowned her heroic thick eyebrows, her eyes darkened.
She got up abruptly, and said anxiously: "Yan Fei, I'll go back and find my grandfather!"
Wei Jiaoniang also knew the seriousness, she was angry with scholars, and when these scholars got together, the matter would make a big fuss, and I'm afraid it would cause a storm in the court.
This matter had nothing to do with Gu Yanfei, it was he who dragged Lu Qin into the water to help Lu Qin, and he had an inescapable responsibility.
Besides, it was clearly the Hua family who wanted to harm someone, but now the villain is the first to sue!
She had to find her grandfather quickly, she couldn't sit still and let herself and Gu Yanfei fall into a passive situation!
The more Wei Jiaoniang thought about it, the more anxious she got on the horse. Gu Yanfei looked at her, thought for a while, and finally did not stop her.
"Yan Fei, see you later." Wei Jiao Niang hurriedly rode away.
And Gu Yanfei drank the barley tea in the cup slowly, and after giving the tea money, she led her bloody horse towards Wancaotang.
Outside Wancaotang, the passers-by who were onlookers dispersed a little bit, and there were still more than a dozen people looking around.
On the street, passers-by watched the excitement here, and gathered around curiously, asking what happened here.
These noisy noises did not reach Gu Yanfei's ears at all.
Gu Yanfei stopped outside the gate, turned her head and looked into Wancao Hall, and caught Gu Yunxie standing out from the crowd in the front hall at a glance. Gu Yunxie comforted Mrs. Hua and Master Hua with a serious face.
"..." Gu Yunxie frowned, as if feeling something, turned his head to look in Gu Yanfei's direction accurately, and the eyes of the two quietly intersected in midair.
The eyes of both of them are very calm, like a pool of stagnant water, just looking at each other quietly, as if they are weighing each other, silently sticking together.
Gu Yanfei raised the corners of her lips, and smiled at Gu Yunwei.
The sunlight filtered through the layers of branches and leaves above, and fell on her face. When the wind blew, the light and shadow swayed and danced on her small face, making her smile more and more vivid.
This smile was too bright and vivid, but in Gu Yunxie's eyes, it was not very comfortable.
It's that look again! The kind of eyes that seemed to be looking at her, but didn't seem to be looking at her at all.
The smile on the corners of Gu Yanfei's lips deepened, she didn't care about Gu Yunxie's reaction at all, what she was looking at was the luck around Gu Yunxie.
It has only been two days since I saw them, and the black air mixed in the golden golden air has become more and more entangled with each other, and the strands of black air are like a spider web entwining the golden air.
