"Sister Da Ya was sold to Mr. Liu's house in Songjiang Prefecture. Mr. Liu's only daughter has made a good marriage and will be married to the capital in three or two years." Caiwei told everything she knew. The more I talked, the more uncomfortable I became, and my tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"Okay, stop crying. Is such a small thing worth shedding so many tears?" Gu Jingzhi said angrily, "Let Ping An go find Manager Jiang later, he will take care of it."
Caiwei looked at Gu Jingzhi gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.
Gu Jingzhi stretched out his hand, "Where is the letter?"
Caiwei stopped her tears, took out the red lacquered and carved box from the space, and handed it to him.
Gu Jingzhi opened the box and put the letters on the bed. He rummaged a few times and found the letter without any surprise. The envelope read: Sincerely, my brother Ruzhou.
In the letter, Gu Huainan recalled the friendship between the two from childhood to adulthood, expressed his longing for Zuo Ruzhou, and finally asked him to take care of Prince Xian who was traveling in the south.
Caiwei looked around and couldn't see anything wrong, so she said doubtfully: "Second Master, there is no mention of rebellion in this letter!"
Gu Jingzhi taught her: "Don't just look at things on the surface, you have to delve into the inner twists and turns." After a pause, he continued: "Prince Xian is traveling on the surface, but secretly is smuggling and connecting. They have a The arsenal secretly produced a large number of weapons, and the prince was escorted all the way back to the capital."
Caiwei understood and nodded: "So your father has indeed committed the crime of rebellion. But there is one thing that doesn't make sense. How did Prince Xian get hold of the letters between officials."
"Prince Xian has a group of talented people under him who copied the letters. The officials received all the copies. What is in this box is my own handwriting." Gu Jingzhi patiently explained to her.
"Then Prince Xian will put people at the post office, where letters are mailed." Just copying is not enough, you have to have the opportunity to replace the letters.
"Our place is called Yi Chuan, and it is inevitable to arrange manpower. However, my father and General Zuo do not communicate through Yi Chuan." Gu Jingzhi said while looking through other letters.
Caiwei was shocked: "Second Master, do you mean that there are people from Prince Xian around your father?"
Gu Jingzhi nodded and recalled the past, "In the last life, my father refused to admit that he wrote the letter, and my grandfather did not believe that the letter was written by his father. In order to prove his innocence and for my Gu family, he hit the pillar in the Jinluan Palace and died." The voice was low and sad.
He added: "My father is not good at literature or martial arts, and has a cowardly character. Since he wrote a letter and still refused to admit it while being punished at the Dali Temple, it means that this letter was not written by my father."
Caiwei agreed with Gu Jingzhi's words, "Prince Xian must have bribed someone who is very trusted around your father. Not only is he familiar with his handwriting, but he also needs to have your father's handwriting in hand. Only by comparing it can the imitation be authentic."
"Jiang Ji." Gu Jingzhi gritted his teeth and spit out two words.
Gu Huainan had two schoolboys who grew up with him. When they grew up, they valued them very highly. One was Jiang Qi and the other was Jiang Ji.
Jiang Qi is the general manager, and he is in charge of all matters inside and outside the palace. Jiang Ji was responsible for Gu Huainan's personal affairs and also took care of his personal daily life.
Although Caiwei believed her master's words, she still had questions, "Didn't Jiang Ji grow up with the Marquis? How could he betray him?"
Gu Jingzhi snorted disdainfully and said, "Money and silk are touching people's hearts. Pingshun also grew up with me, and he still wants to kill me."
There were dozens of boxes of treasures in Caiwei's space, so she automatically ignored the words "money and silk" and cast a sympathetic look at Gu Jingzhi. He was really a father and son, and they had similar fates, both were betrayed by those close to them.
"I guess my good aunt can also participate in it!" Gu Jingzhi said again.
Caiwei sighed and said: "Just now I thought you were as pitiful as your father because you were betrayed by the book boy who grew up together. Now I sympathize with your father even more. He was plotted by someone who has been sleeping with him for many years. It's really pitiful. Got it!"
Gu Jingzhi rolled his eyes at her and said in his heart: "Then you don't know that I am not only harmed by the person next to me, but also that there is no good person in the same bed."
Ping An came in with a food box and interrupted the conversation between the two, "Second Master, there is the spicy fish stew you like to eat." Since the master had eaten this dish made by Cai Wei at Zhuangzi in the north of the city, Ping An and Ping An ate outside. At that time, I thought about it many times, but I didn't expect that Yao Zhenxing's family could also make it, but I had to let the second master eat more.
Place four dishes on the table. In addition to stewed fish, there is also fried meat, fried fungus and cabbage, fried shredded potatoes, and a large bowl of egg soup. There are not many green vegetables in winter, only cabbage, potatoes and various dried vegetables are easy to store, and these are almost every day.
Ping An stood aside to help the master prepare the dishes. Gu Jingzhi waved his hand, "Ping An, you don't need to wait on me. There is something you need to talk to Manager Jiang tomorrow."
Pingan lowered her hands and listened, "Caiwei's sister is called Daya..." Caiwei quickly continued: "My real name is Han Caijing. She was sold to Mr. Liu's house in Songjiang Prefecture. It is said that his daughter is engaged and her husband's family is from the capital."
When Gu Jingzhi saw Caiwei stop, he continued, "Ask Manager Jiang to redeem the person as soon as possible!"
Ping An glanced at Caiwei and felt very unconvinced. How could such a little girl win the eyes of the second master if she has a figure but no figure and no looks? She was bored in the house, so she took her to Xianwangye Village for a stroll, instead of taking her childhood playmate with her, and now he had to help her sister redeem herself, which was really irritating.
But he replied obediently: "Okay, Second Master, I will do it tomorrow." Suddenly he remembered that San Niu from Yao Zhenxing's family had just asked him to ask Miss Caiwei if they could play together tomorrow, so he told San Niu .
Caiwei couldn't help but smile. Sanniu was a child, and she was an old aunt. She had nothing to do but coax the child to pass the time, so she agreed.
Gu Jingzhi said first, "How old are you for playing?" Caiwei was scolded, and Ping An was happy and surprised. Unexpectedly, the second master then said: "We can only play for a while in the morning, and we will go back to the house in the afternoon."
After Ping An passed the message and went out, Caiwei packed up the letter, put it back in the space, and went to the table to eat.
Gu Jingzhi frowned after taking a bite of the stewed fish and stopped moving his chopsticks. Caiwei also took a bite and said, "It's too fishy. Second Master wants to eat it. I'll make it for you tomorrow." After the two of them finished eating, they cleaned up and rested. After a while he went to bed.
