He couldn't bear to live a stable life here, and he couldn't bear to worry about losing his head.
But, can he refuse?
Anyone who dares to reject the people of Lao Zhu's family will die if they refuse.
Gu Chen was so worried that he scratched his head and ears, but Zheng Shiyuan didn't understand his original intention.
"Don't worry about having no friends in the future. In life, there will always be a time to say goodbye. There is no need to miss each other. When we meet again, we can have a good time over wine."
From the moment he came to Zhuang Lang, when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince seeing him off, he knew that Mr. Gu would definitely be able to go back, and that was indeed the case.
"Old Zheng, don't you feel sad that you were not called back?"
This is an authentic ancient man who only wants to contribute to the world and leave his name in history. Is it possible that he is willing to stay here forever?
"To be honest." Zheng Shiyuan sighed: "I didn't want to when I first came here, but now Zhuang Lang has changed his appearance, and my sweat has flowed on this land."
"I fell in love with this place. It is comfortable, comfortable and peaceful. I am in my mid-forties this year, but I can no longer stand the torment in prison."
There's nothing wrong with being ordinary, not to mention that he doesn't trust leaving this place to other county magistrates.
I'm afraid that the people who finally got better off will suffer again.
Gu Chen: "...Oh."
You can't bear the punishment of prison, but I can bear it?
Oh, yes, I'm young and I deserve it.
Haven't some experts said this before?
Young people should endure more hardships so that they can have great potential in the future.
He has been thinking about a question, do the children of the Zhuan family endure hardship?
Harmful!
Do you still remember the girl from the Lu family whom Gu Chen once rescued in Dingyuan County?
She and Zheng Shili saw each other right, and they made a good marriage.
Now that his son has been born, Gu Chen looks forward to it.
After so many years, my wife is ready to give birth to a second child. When the time comes, she will give birth to a younger brother, and then find a strong martial arts master for the boy.
Well, if anyone dares to bully his own girl, my son can go up and beat him up.
Perfect!
Liao Yongzhong is very happy. He has been here for four years.
Do you know how he lived these five years and how miserable he was?
No women, no wine, no brocade and silk.
There is only endless digging in the ground, endless mud to carry, endless grass to cut, and a simple diet, and wearing clothes that are not very comfortable.
Many times, he thought he had really become a farmer.
It's fine now. As long as I return to the capital, all this will happen again.
Even if the emperor wants to kill him, he can at least let him enjoy it for two more years, right?
"Brother Gu, tell me, what position will His Majesty give you when you return this time?"
While Liao Yongzhong was happy, he did not forget to think about Gu Chen.
Gu Chen glanced at him and asked, "What position does the Marquis think I will have?"
Lao Liao is a military general with a simple temper. He can call himself "careful of his brothers".
But I couldn't really call him Brother Liao. Being so close to the Lord would easily lead to a short life.
"Now that there is no censor in the court, I guess I should still be the censor, right?"
Having said this, Liao Yongzhong sighed with some sympathy.
"Being a censor is also quite dangerous, but it's much better than generals like us."
"Look at Ding Yu and Zhu Liangzu, which one has no merit? It's not..."
Nothing more, more or less related to Hu Weiyong's crime of treason.
Treason is a capital crime, and death is not a pity.
Then Zhu Liangzu, wasn't it just because he was greedy for some money that he was whipped to death?
Even if he is going to die, he cannot be given a decent way to die.
Poison wine, white silk, dagger.
Which one doesn’t work?
Before he finished speaking, Gu Chen's face darkened instantly.
"Master Hou! Haven't you had enough of the lessons learned in the past few years?"
"You have to be careful with your words and actions, otherwise even the Lord of Hell will not be able to save your head."
What a stupid thing to say. Fortunately, that little Anzi was sent by him today to give out the handwritten version of "Hundred Family Surnames" to the county officials.
Otherwise, if he hears it, tell Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu may not know what he thinks.
how?
Are you not convinced by our handling?
In this case, you should get out of here and accompany them.
"Why are you so careful?" Old Liao was stunned: "This place is far away from the capital, and there are only two of us in the house."
If he didn't say it, if he didn't say it himself, how could the emperor know?
Seeing that he spoke so freely, Gu Chen became even more determined.
I can't get too close to Lao Liao, lest I get dragged into trouble later.
"Master Marquis, trouble comes from your mouth. If you believe me, keep your mouth shut from now on. If you shouldn't say anything, you can't say it no matter whether there is anyone or not, and you absolutely can't show it at all."
"Today you think no one is watching, so you talk nonsense behind others. Tomorrow you dare to talk nonsense in front of others. This habit is fatal."
"Don't be greedy, remember the word integrity. Don't take a penny that you shouldn't take, no, not even half a penny."
"do you know?"
Prosperity, wealth, dignity and dignity are not as important as saving one's life!
"knew."
Seeing that he was so serious, Liao Yongzhong realized the seriousness of the matter and covered his mouth with his hand, saying that he would never say anything again.
Do you know how many people died in this Hu Weiyong case?
More than fifteen thousand people!
Gu Chen knew that this matter was not over at all. These more than 10,000 people were just appetizers for Lao Zhu. Who knew whether Lao Liao would be involved.
However, since he had a good relationship with Yang Xian in the past, he should not be charged with this crime.
For the sake of him accompanying her and working in Zhuang Lang for five years.
Gu Chen reminded: "After you go back, you must take good care of the children of your clan. It is okay to spend a lot of time, drink, have fun and have fun."
"You are a hero of the founding of the country. Your Majesty won't say anything if you enjoy yourself a little."
"But the laws of the country must not be touched. As long as they are touched, don't think about asking for mercy. Quickly kill the relatives for justice. Never plead for mercy for the children."
"The Marquis is a smart man. When the critical moment comes, he must know what to choose. This official can only say so much. In addition..."
"After returning to the capital, if I am really still the censor, there will be no need for us to interact with each other. Please don't call me Brother Gu anymore."
"No, even if we are not censors, we don't want to have any contact with each other anymore. We can just nod when we meet in the court or on the long street."
After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand, no longer looking at Lao Liao's injured expression. He did not dislike Lao Liao as a military commander.
He just cherished his life and did not dare to be a brother with the Lord.
Liao Yongzhong was a little sad. Brother Gu had cut off the relationship with him too quickly, right?
But he also understood that this was a last resort. He had to keep his tail between his legs in Zhuang Lang, let alone under the emperor's nose.
"Brother Gu, I will always remember the time we spent together. Our friendship is not in our interactions, but in our hearts."
After spending a long time with a scholar like Gu Chen, Lao Liao also learned to speak nice words.
"Don't worry, Brother Gu. If you are really beheaded by His Majesty in the future, as long as His Majesty doesn't kill your whole family, I will definitely help you take care of your younger siblings and Ning Yatou."
"During the Qingming Festival, paper money will definitely not be stingy..."
At first, Gu Chen was satisfied with what he heard, but the more he heard it, the more something was wrong. When he realized what he was doing, he went up to Lao Liao and held him down, then punched him.
"...Fuck you, who cares about you taking care of my wife and daughter?"
Does he need it?
Besides, it’s not certain who will die first?
"Brother Gu, where are you thinking? I died a long time ago. I have to ask you to take care of my family. Don't hit me. If you hit me again, you will have to fight back... Don't hit me..."
"Misunderstand……"
In a real fight, Gu Chen would definitely not be able to defeat Lao Liao, but Lao Liao was a military general and his hands were neither light nor heavy, so he was afraid of being damaged by him.
It was really bad. Even if I felt guilty, I couldn't explain it to His Highness.
Misunderstand?
If he believed it, he would not be a man.
Gu Chen didn't care, he just hit the thick spots. This guy was really a bitch, he couldn't help but teach him a lesson.
After the beating was enough, the two lay side by side on the ground. After a long time, Liao Yongzhong said.
"Master Gu, in the future you must take care of me in the court."
He changed his title to show that he also agreed with Gu Chen's idea.
Gu Chen's nose was slightly sore and he said in an invisible voice.
"Brother Liao, you also value me."
This was the first time he called Brother Liao, and it was also the last time.
From now on, whether it is a blessing or a curse is all your own business and has nothing to do with the other party.
After Gu An finished his work, it was already dusk.
When he came back, he saw that his wife had packed her things, but there were only a few baggage.
He couldn't help but be a little confused: "Master, when we came here, there were more than a dozen cars. Now that we are leaving, we only need to bring this few things?"
In addition to clothes and clothes, a car is not enough to pull it.
