Chapter 135 Liu Sandao returns to Beijing, Gu Jingzhi sets up a trap!
The study suddenly became quiet, and a strange and ambiguous atmosphere was looming.
After a while, Gu Jingzhi came back to his senses. He said, "Let's talk about this later. Didn't you say you had evidence to prove your father was wrongly accused? Where is the evidence?"
"what?"
Tao'er was slightly stunned and her expression became a little embarrassed.
She was ready to pay the price, but she didn't expect that Gu Jingzhi would directly ask for all the evidence after the conversation.
Thinking that she was born into a scholarly family and was a famous lady in the capital, she was later exiled to the Jiaofangsi and taught various skills.
Didn't Jian'er say that women like her, who have the air of books and the charming temperament that ordinary women don't have... are the most popular with men?
Why does it seem like my master has no interest at all?
Gu Jingzhi looked at Jiang Taoer who was slightly dazed and could not help but knocked on the table: "What are you thinking about?"
"Ah? No, no..."
Tao'er's face flushed red. She adjusted her expression slightly and said, "The things my father left behind are in our original house..."
Tao'er explained it in detail, and Gu Jingzhi nodded: "Okay, I understand. I still need to plan it out. I'll let you know when there's a result!"
"Yes, yes! Slave thanks the master!"
Taoer seemed very excited.
Gu Jingzhi shook his head imperceptibly.
Although there was no news from Liu Sandao, Jiang Taoer had made a breakthrough, which made his gloomy mood become a little smoother!
……
For the next three days, nothing happened in the court.
Gu Jingzhi didn't make any move. Emperor Xia thought that he probably had other ideas, so he didn't urge him or even summon him.
Gu Jingzhi investigated cases in the Dali Temple every day, and everything went on in an orderly manner.
Gu Heng, on the other hand, was feeling both happy and worried. He was happy because so many days had passed and everything in the capital was back to normal, and the thing he was most worried about had not happened.
What worried him was simple.
It was precisely because Gu Yong had not shown up that he felt uneasy. He even worried that one day this matter would suddenly be exposed.
Therefore, he has never stopped monitoring the capital city and beyond these days!
……
In a small farmyard near the outskirts of Beijing.
Liu Sandao and others were hiding secretly in there. They had been in the capital for a day, but as soon as they entered the capital, they keenly sensed a different smell.
Out of caution, Liu Sandao stopped moving forward and instead found a small farmyard to live in.
That day, the person who went out to get information came back, and Liu Sandao asked, "How is it? What's going on outside?"
"Sir, those people are still watching us. Although they seem to have relaxed their guard, they have secretly sent more people! I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to return!"
"What should we do? We can't stay outside all the time, otherwise we will be discovered sooner or later!" someone said with some concern.
"Damn it! It's so damn unlucky to have someone blocking the door at my doorstep!"
"..."
Liu Sandao thought for a moment and said, "We really can't just sit here and wait. So... Hutou, disguise yourself tomorrow and go back to the city to see the master!"
"I go?"
The man called Tiger Head was stunned.
Liu Sandao said: "That's right, you don't go out much on weekdays, so you are least likely to be discovered if you go!"
"Okay, boss. Tomorrow I will disguise myself and go to see Master Gu. But what should I say when I see Master Gu?"
"Tell the Master that we have returned to the capital with our men, but we cannot enter the city at the moment. Ask the Master if there is any other solution..."
"Huh? That's a good idea. We can't get in, but Lord Gu can get out. Then, as long as we see Lord Gu, all the problems will be solved!"
"Not bad!"
Another person laughed and said, "It's appropriate for Hutou to ask you, sir. Those people only dare to visit secretly, so they are probably not officials. Sir Gu is an official and a close minister to the emperor. Few people dare to offend him!"
"Yeah! That's right!"
Liu Sandao smiled and said, "When the time comes, go and come back quickly, but be careful not to expose yourself. Also, it's best not to dress the same way both ways to avoid suspicion!"
"Haha! After the boss went through this, he became more cautious!"
"It's better to be cautious. Have you forgotten how our other brothers died?"
"This……"
When they heard the other brothers, their eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Alright, don't be so gloomy. The vengeance of our brothers...sooner or later, the master will help us avenge them. For now, let's just do what the master has told us to do!"
……
The next morning, after being disguised as Hu Tou and getting on the official road, he returned to the capital city in a swaggering manner. After walking around the capital city for a few times, he felt that no one was following him, so he came to Gu Jingzhi's mansion.
Gu Jingzhi was overjoyed to learn that Hu Tou had arrived.
As soon as they met, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it going?"
"Sir, the matter has been settled. My boss is in a small farmyard outside the capital. There are spies everywhere near the capital, and the boss dare not return to the city!"
Eyeliner?
Gu Jingzhi had been staying in the capital and didn't know about this. He immediately asked, "Where are the brothers? Are they all okay?"
"When we left Jeju, we were discovered and four of our brothers were lost!" Hu Tou looked a little gloomy!
"Four..."
After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi felt unhappy.
Although he hadn't spoken much to these brothers, they had all worked diligently for the past few months. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, your lives won't be lost in vain. I'll definitely give you an explanation for this!"
"Thank you on behalf of my brothers!"
Hu Tou said with a hint of gratitude.
As soon as Gu Jingzhi arrived, he asked his brothers questions, which was very helpful to those who were working hard outside.
Even though they are just small people, it doesn't mean they don't have feelings.
After thanking Gu Jing, Hu Tou said, "The situation is urgent. My boss asked me to tell you that there are too many spies outside the city. I'm afraid it's not possible to bring people into the city now. I hope you can give me a solution!"
"Method……"
Gu Jingzhi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have a farm outside the city that I recently bought. When you return later, take my warrant and say that I sent you to take over the farm."
"Just be secretive and don't let anyone see you! I'll be taking a day off the day after tomorrow, so I'll go over there under the pretext of inspecting the manor..."
"Okay! I'll go back and tell my boss right away!"
"No rush, drink some water first, then take a rest and change into some clothes before going..."
