Chapter 214 Unconscious
Taking advantage of this flood, the Jiangnan officialdom was purged.
Sheng Yanhua became the rope tied to the grasshopper's legs, and no one who was involved with him could escape.
The more obedient ones had already taken off their official robes and hats, knelt in front of Gu Jiusi and cried bitterly, slapped themselves dozens of times like pigs, and then expressed their regrets, cursing their superiors for forcing them to do what they did and the difficulties they had in going with the flow.
Relying on their backers in Beijing, they are strong-willed and tough-talking. Even if they are tied up and escorted to Beijing, they still curse and shout that they are framed!
However, those who could shout like this were all important officials in Jiangnan. Those with slightly lower status were not qualified to be locked in a prison car and escorted to Beijing from thousands of miles away with great difficulty.
Gu Jiusi stood in front of a row of cages, listening to the various insults with interest.
There were many voices cursing him, and some of them were extremely harsh!
For example: Gu Jiusi has no descendants, Gu Jiusi is cut into pieces, Gu Jiusi dies without a burial place...
Of course, it also implicated the Gu family’s ancestors for eighteen generations, causing the former high-ranking officials in prison uniforms to miss them countless times in turn!
"Alas, back then, these people were also very talented. I'm sure their rankings in the imperial examinations would not be worse than mine. Why are the swear words so poor and lacking in originality nowadays?"
Gu Jiusi looked regretful: "It seems that we should not eat too much food, nor be too greedy for money, otherwise, no matter how outstanding the young men on the list were, they will become fat pigs, only able to make these monotonous grunts!"
Xu Shixian stood beside him, not even giving him a glance: "If you have the guts, go home and tell your brother who's the top scholar. If you say anything more in front of me, I'll just treat it as bullshit!"
"Hey, Master Xu, you are the top scholar in the imperial examination, why are you speaking so vulgarly now?"
Xu Shixian snorted coldly: "It is written in the book that those who keep company with ink will become black!"
"You scolded me?!" Gu Jiusi jumped up and down: "I said, people like you who are good at studying, why do you like to scold people in a roundabout way? How despicable and vulgar!"
Xu Shixian strode away and said, "Go tell this to your brother who is the top scholar!"
"Do you think I don't dare? Tsk!" Gu Jiusi shook his sleeves, turned his head, and was stunned on the spot!
Gu Shian showed him his eight teeth: "Brother, you have really improved after these days of training!"
Gu Jiusi immediately ran over with a sad face: "I was just teasing that idiot Xu, brother please don't... don't..."
"What else?" Gu Shian glanced at him and said, "Brother, you are the governor now, you should be confident. What you said is not wrong. You are good at studying, but if you don't have a heart for the people and are greedy for wealth and power, you are worse than a pig that can be killed and eaten!"
Gu Jiusi instantly perked up: "As expected of my brother, he is a thousand times stronger than Xu Shixian!"
Ahri was at the back, playing with the dagger, and couldn't help but burst out laughing!
She was used to listening to Gu Shian fooling people, and every time he would leave people stunned. Even if they wanted to refute, they couldn't find the words!
But Gu Jiusi was undoubtedly the most cooperative. No matter what Gu Shian said, Gu Jiusi always nodded in approval!
How can this be called being the big brother?
In her family, only the youngest brothers and sisters are so obedient!
"Bang!"
Gu Shian turned his head.
"Ahri!"
Ali fainted!
Fortunately, Gu Shian was quick to support the person, otherwise, with the large amount of gravel on the road, Ali would have definitely hit his head and bled!
Gu Jiusi opened his hands, looking panicked: "What's wrong? What happened? I didn't say anything wrong!"
Xu Shixian heard the noise and ran over. When he saw the situation, he shouted loudly: "Hurry, help them get on the carriage and go back to the city!"
Because they were escorting prisoners back to Beijing, all those present were men.
Gu Shian gritted his teeth, took off his long gown, wrapped it around his hands, picked up Ali, and carried him into the carriage.
"go!"
The carriage drove out quickly and rushed towards the city gate.
"Do not kill me!"
"My brothers and sisters will avenge me!"
"Don't steal my snake!"
Ahri kept mumbling in coma, his brows were furrowed, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands were waving around from time to time, as if an invisible ghost was approaching him!
Gu Shian was both anxious and distressed. In his eyes, Ali had always been strong and competitive, even flamboyant and fierce. She was so skilled that he had never seen her suffer a loss!
That was the time when I was trying to save him from the flood and injured my arm.
But such a spirited person was now lying in his arms. Even though he was not mentally alert, he was still crying and shouting with a look of fear!
"Hurry up, go back to Liuyuan! Go and ask the best doctor in Wuzhou!" Gu Shian lifted the curtain and roared.
"Don't worry, Lord He Dao. We have already sent someone on horseback to return to the city first." The driver replied quickly.
Xu Shixian sat on the shaft of the cart and waved his hand.
A sergeant on horseback caught up with the carriage and asked, "Master Xu, what do you want?"
"Go to the general's grandfather and tell him that the general asked Young Master Tang to save his life!"
After Xu Shixian gave the order, the soldiers kicked their horses and rushed forward.
"Lord He Dao, the young master of the Tang family once saved the general's grandfather. Inviting him to Liuyuan will be a great help!" Xu Shixian turned his head and explained to Gu Shian.
Gu Shian was in a state of confusion and nodded hastily.
He has been accustomed to planning since he was a child, and never does anything without preparation, so he can always be calm and measured in front of others.
But for Ahri, this calmness was never used!
When the carriage approached the city gate, Xu Shixian stood tall on the shaft, holding the order in one hand and shouting, "Governor's order, let us go quickly!"
Nowadays, everywhere in Jiangnan, no one dares to say a word when seeing the governor's token!
The guards at the city gate hurriedly dispersed the crowd. The carriage passed by the crowd, causing several people to exclaim!
"Is something going to happen again?" Soldier A patted his chest.
It’s not that he is timid, it’s just that there are too many things going on recently!
It is common to see officials who are still in court during the day being locked up and escorted out of the city in the middle of the night!
"Shut up your crow mouth. The governor's notice to reassure the people has been posted. What else can happen?" Soldier B guarding the city secretly swallowed his saliva and glared at his companion!
The side door of the pomegranate garden had been opened long ago, the door guard removed, and the carriage drove straight in and did not stop until it reached the inner house!
"What happened? Who was injured? The girl is waiting in the room, anxiously!" Nanny Zhu had been waiting in the open space for a long time. When she saw the carriage stop, she asked hurriedly.
Xu Shixian didn't have time to answer, he lifted the curtain, and Gu Shian rushed out holding Ali:
"lead the way!"
"Hey, Second Young Master, come this way!" Nanny Zhu saw that Gu Shi'an was holding someone in his arms, with that person's face leaning against him, but Gu Shi'an's hands were tangled with clothes. She immediately realized that the person in his arms was a girl!
She quickly led the group to the courtyard next to Ruyi Courtyard and trotted, "The young lady has ordered that it be next door to hers. If there is anything, she can know about it sooner."
