Chapter 45 - Gu Shizi
As soon as Bingwen arrived at Wentian Pavilion, Qian An reminded him by ear that the people above had waited for three hours and hadn’t eaten lunch.
Bingwen touched his stomach, and then he remembered that he didn’t seem to have eaten…
Bingwen went upstairs, and Sang Yi looked at him with life-saving eyes. It has been serving for three hours, and I don’t know how many pots of tea have been brewed. The guest is not embarrassed, he is embarrassed as a book boy…
Bingwen waved Sang away, gave the people in front of him a salute, and said apologetically, “There are some things to deal with these two days. You have to wait for a long time. Bingwen apologizes again.”
“You don’t need to be too polite, but Mr. Bingwen is worth waiting for.”
The speaker’s voice is steady and capable, and Bingwen observes that his body is stern and his appearance is dignified. A pair of eyebrows are like paint, and his eyes are like torches. His chest is wide and wide, and he has a might that is invincible to ten thousand men. Inexplicably respected.
“I heard that your Excellency hasn’t had lunch yet. It just so happens that I’m useless. Why don’t you go to Yinweizhai and eat and talk.”
“Alright.” The man nodded when he heard the words, got up and went downstairs first.
Bingwen took him to Yinweizhai, and Xiao Er saw him coming and led him directly to the Spring Breeze Room.
Now this drink restaurant is already owned by the Hou’s mansion, and the Spring Breeze Room is not open to the public anymore, and is only left to the Hou’s mansion and Wentian Pavilion. Now Bingwen comes here to eat with a bill, which is very convenient.
After the wine and food were ready and the two had a drink, Bingwen asked, “I don’t know what your question is.”
“I am Gu Xingyun, the son of King Hui.”
When Bingwen heard his identity, he was about to salute and was stopped.
“Master Bingwen, listen to me and finish.”
Bingwen didn’t insist, and listened to him continue.
“You must also know that Prince Hui suddenly died of a sudden illness more than three months ago.”
Bingwen nodded, indicating that he knew.
“I came back from the battle in Lingnan City, and it has been more than two months since I rushed back. It was the end of the year when I came back. According to my mother-in-law’s account, my father’s death was very strange at that time, and there was only one side concubine Wei Yuanyuan at the scene. After Wang passed away, she said that she had obeyed the lord’s oral order to let his son Gu Duanfei inherit the throne, and asked Tian Yuchen, the advisor of the palace, to present the lord’s handwriting. fingerprinted.”
Bingwen also felt that something was wrong when he heard this.
Gu Xingyun saw Bingwen’s expression and knew what he was thinking, and then said: “My mother and concubine also raised doubts at the time, and she resisted all opinions and asked for an autopsy. The wounds were not poisoned, so I had to cover the coffin and bury the body. The Wei side concubine sternly asked my mother-in-law to open the prince’s coffin with an unwarranted crime and examine the prince’s body. What should I do? Everyone in the palace agreed, forcing my mother and wife to commit suicide Please go to the ancestral hall to eat fast food and recite the Buddha, and don’t take half a step out of the ancestral hall again.”
“Gu Shizi, I’m selling news, not investigating cases…” Bingwen raised his forehead, looking embarrassed.
“Yes, I know that it is indeed embarrassing for Mr. Bingwen, but I really have no choice. The emperor has decreed that Gu Duanfei will inherit the throne and canonize Duan. The body was buried in the sealed ground. It is rumored in Beijing that Young Master Bingwen knows everything, but Xingyun asks Young Master Bingwen to help. I know the rules of the son, and if the truth can be found out, I am willing to pay one million taels of gold and one private seal. Pieces.” Gu Xingyun bowed after speaking, and solemnly entrusted him.
Bingwen really had a headache, and Gu Xingyun’s conditions were too tempting. However, he was not sure that he would be able to solve such a case. If it fails, the consequences will be Duan Wangfu’s counterattack.
“Xingyun implore the son to help.” Gu Xingyun bowed again.
“Gu Shizi, please allow me a few days to think about it. In a few days, whether I agree or not, I will send someone to the palace to pass on your message.”
“Xingyun is waiting for the good news of Prince Bingwen.”
Gu Xingyun said goodbye and left, leaving Bingwen alone to lose his appetite for the delicious food on the table. Reluctantly ate some snacks, drank two pots of Lanqiao Fengyue, and thought for a quarter of an hour, Bingwen got up and returned to Wentian Pavilion.
Go up to the second floor and instruct Sang Yi to grind.
He began to write to Xia Chu.
The first content is to tell him that all the four sons have been found, so don’t worry about proper placement. The second is to tell him that Yinweizhai has been sent to the Hou residence by the Fourth Highness, and now Houye has sent someone to take care of it. The third is that Cai Wenyong has been taken to the capital and handed over to Lu Mingxi for disposal. Fourth, in the past half a month, he has screened and listed the price of the news of the person he asked for.
Later, he was stunned again, holding a pen, wondering if he should tell him about Gu Shizi.
He called Su Qianan up again and asked him, “Do you think the young master will solve the case?”
“Yes.” Su Qianan replied instantly.
“Is it alright if 3 months have passed?”
“Okay.” Su Qianan replied instantly.
“It’s okay not to be there?”
“What can’t you do, young master?” Su Qianan asked instantly.
Bingwen was teased by him, and for a while he really didn’t know how to answer.
He waved his hand and let him go.
After thinking about it, Fu added the whole story of Gu Shizi at the end of the letter.
After the ink was dry, Bingwen put away the letter and returned to the yard with Sang Yi.
He found another secluded corner and called Bian Hao to send the letter out.
