Chapter 139: Making trouble...
"Right now, the capital is about to be in turmoil. You'd better stay hidden! Don't return to the capital at this time!"
After putting away the manuscripts, Gu Jingzhi gave some silent instructions.
Liu Sandao thought for a moment and said, "But you are now serving as the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, and such a major case has occurred. You are in need of people. If we stay here..."
"That's nothing!"
Gu Jingzhi waved his hand and said, "Although you are in the capital, it will be easier for me to employ you. However, you have been with the diplomatic corps and have just returned to the capital when such a major case broke out. The people in the capital are not fools..."
The power of the aristocratic family is simply beyond the ability of Liu Sandao and his brothers to withstand.
If it were confirmed that they were involved, and the enemy launched a frenzied revenge, their families would...
No matter what, Liu Sandao and others are working for him, so their basic safety must be guaranteed.
Liu Sandao had been in the capital and knew some of the darkness there. Seeing that Gu Jingzhi was willing to protect them, he nodded silently.
They are just small people, and if they are not careful, their families may be implicated.
Seeing that Liu Sandao no longer insisted, Gu Jingzhi said, "I will report this matter to the court tomorrow. My actions today will definitely not be hidden from others. You can't stay in this manor any longer!"
Liu Sandao agreed and said directly, "Then, sir, is there anything you want us to do for you?"
Gu Jingzhi shook his head: "For now, you should stay still and don't move. Just leave this manor and avoid being visited by others!"
"What about Gu Yong?"
As the main suspect and criminal in this case, Gu Yong's importance in the case is self-evident.
But Gu Yong cannot be left to the care of other people in the manor. If they leave, they can't let Gu Yong starve to death here, right?
Gu Jingzhi laughed when he heard this and said, "Hu Tou came to take over this manor yesterday as a servant of our manor. Let him bear with it for a while and continue to pretend to be a servant of our manor!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Sandao immediately smiled and said, "That's a good idea!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled and nodded, then said, "After leaving the village, find a place to stay for a while, and then return to the capital!"
"Okay sir!"
Liu Sandao also knew that if they went back now, they would probably not only be unable to help, but would also implicate their own families.
However, if Gu Jingzhi can get things done well, all these dangers will be reduced to a minimum.
Gu Jingzhi stayed at the farm until the afternoon. As the sun set, he slowly returned to the capital.
Although he came to the manor mainly to trap Gu Yong, he couldn't ignore the property on the manor. After all, the manor was his now.
After Gu Jingzhi and others returned to the capital, it was already dark. After dinner, he asked Lin Feng to go to the Inner Guard Palace, and then went to the study and waited patiently for Tianshu to come.
After about an hour, Tianshu arrived at Gu Jingzhi's residence.
After Lin Feng led him into the study, Tian Shu asked Gu Jingzhi as soon as he saw him, "Master Gu hurriedly sent someone to call me here, but has there been any progress on that matter?"
"exactly……"
Gu Jingzhi handed the handwritten letter from Gu Yong to Tianshu: "Master Tianshu, please read this. This is the handwritten letter from the criminal Gu Yong. He has confessed everything he did."
"Oh? Sir Gu has finished the interrogation?"
Tianshu took the letter curiously. If what was written there was true, then Gu Jingzhi's efficiency was too fast, right?
"Did Lord Gu resort to some trick?"
"Master Tianshu, please don't forget who I am!"
Gu Jingzhi said with a smile.
"..."
Tianshu's mouth twitched.
He suddenly remembered that it seemed that Gu Jingzhi was Gu Heng's eldest son. Although he was not favored by Gu Heng, the servants of the Gu family knew something about him, but his identity was not fake.
If Gu Heng knew that Gu Jingzhi had used his eldest son's name to uncover all the secrets of the Gu family, he might have gone crazy with rage.
Also, Gu Jingzhi is really cruel!
With the crimes committed by the Gu family, if he is not executed, it will not be enough to appease the public anger, but he is still the son of the Gu family after all!
Tianshu thought in his mind, but his eyes were fixed on the handwriting.
a long time……
He put down his handwritten letter and said with a wry smile, "I never thought that such a great founding noble would do so many immoral things. What I never expected was that Gu Heng, a great Earl, would let his servants get hold of him."
Tianshu shook his head helplessly.
Isn't Gu Heng too careless?
After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi just smiled softly. Gu Heng was already under someone's control, so how could this be the case?
"Master Tianshu, I invite you to my house today because I need your inner guards' help with this matter!"
He didn't have the mood to complain about Gu Heng at the moment, so he asked the internal security for help.
Tianshu was stunned and said, "You already have the right to make memorials, and reviewing cases is your job as the Dali Temple. If there are any problems, you can directly mobilize the Dali Temple's yamen runners. Why do you need the help of my inner guards?"
"This case involves a wide range of people. Gu Heng is a founding nobleman and is related to the Song family by marriage. He will definitely use this as an opportunity to bring the case to the Ministry of Justice and even convene the three courts for a joint trial!"
"I'm the eldest son of the Gu family. Song Pu will definitely use this as an excuse to exclude me from the core of this case. Once they take over the case, all the certifications and victims involved will be..."
Tianshu was stunned when he heard this.
Yes, he had forgotten about this.
If Song Puzhen took the opportunity to kick Gu Jingzhi out of the core of the case, and then submitted a petition requesting a joint trial by the three courts, then this case would basically be reduced from a big matter to a small matter!
Gu Jingzhi said, "Now that we have all the materials and evidence, I'm going to start writing a memorial to Your Majesty. But once we open this case, we won't have much time!"
"So Lord Gu means to have the internal security guards protect the victims and witnesses mentioned in this letter?"
"Not only that, the best way is to bring them all to the capital. I will suggest that the Inner Guards protect these certificates. By then, the facts and evidence will be there. Even if Song Pu wants to cover up for them, it will be useless."
"Alright! I'll have someone send a message to the palace later to inform His Majesty of this matter. When will Lord Gu submit his report?"
"That depends on the Inner Guards. How long will it take to protect these victims and their certifications?"
Tianshu immediately smiled and said, "The Tianji Department of the Internal Guard has the power to monitor local areas. By mobilizing the entire Jizhou Prefecture Internal Guard, these people can be under the control of the Internal Guard in three days at most."
"Also, I am sending the Kaiyang tribe out of the capital and heading for Jeju. We will gallop all the way and the round trip will only take half a month."
"Okay! Then I will submit my report in three days!"
As long as the witnesses and the victims are under the control of the internal security, this matter can be started directly.
Presumably, all the immoral things that Gu Yong did... Gu Heng couldn't possibly know every one of them, right?
