Chapter 99

"Remember... Remember." The man was already out of his wits. Only the man himself, Zhao Changyuan and an uneasy big girl hiding in the crowd knew the secret. Zhao Changyuan saw this guy sticking behind the girl all the way. After the girl drilled elsewhere, the man saw Gong Yueyue again. His eyes were indecent.

"What's your call? A Yang finger? Or... Strong King Kong finger? Teach me! Teach me! " Gong Yue asked him excitedly all the way.

The evil fire that he held in his stomach finally dissipated. He was very happy and recovered his bright smile: "neither. If you want to learn, I'll teach you in the evening. "

When he reached the yamen gate, he was about to take off his cloak and bring it to her, but he happened to meet Lord song.

Lord song was a typical Confucian official, who never dared to lose Etiquette: "Yo, isn't this general Zhao? I'm polite! "

People two rounds older than themselves have to be so servile to themselves. Zhao Changyuan is a little uncomfortable: "adults are exempted."

Lord song asked with a smile, "are you here to escort your wife?"

"Well, by the way, let's see where the Dongdu Xia is sacred."

"Oh, oh! Then don't stand here. It's windy outside. You might as well go to the court together. With your official authority, I'm afraid I can't suppress the arrogance of such thieves? " It's not that the thieves are arrogant, but that there are too many ordinary people supporting the thieves to be ignored. Lord song was under a lot of pressure this time. He was afraid that he would be cut by the emperor again.

"I don't think so..." Zhao Changyuan thought it was inappropriate.

Yue Yue pulled his sleeve: "Xianggong, it's so cold outside." My eyes are full of heartache.

Lord song quickly helped: "yes, you see, madam said so. Come in quickly."

"All right." How could he be willing to refuse his wife?

Pan Zhuqing bathed and changed clothes early in the morning, but she was too tired to wash away. So when he saw Zhao Changyuan being led into the court by Lord song, his surprise and unhappiness almost stagnated.

"Why is he here?" Pan Zhuqing grabbed Xue Jiu and pressed her throat.

Xue Jiu replied in a low voice: "it seems that it was invited by Lord song."

His anger made his bloodshot eyes more turbid: "the one surnamed song was afraid that someone pan couldn't cover it and brought all the live talismans."

Qi returns to Qi. He will never forget his superficial Kung Fu. He went forward to greet Zhao Changyuan, and then sat down again and waited for the opening of the hall.

He hates Zhao Changyuan, and Zhao Changyuan doesn't care for him either. Zhao Changyuan knew that he would not be a good man because he used innocent people to set up a snare to lure chivalrous men into arrest. Compared with him, pan haoshao doesn't know how many times he should be cute. It's better not to be an official than to be dirty.

So after the opening of the court, when the shabby old man Gu, who walked a little shaky, was escorted to the court by two yamen servants, Zhao Changyuan was angry and couldn't help glancing at Pan Zhuqing opposite.

The onlookers standing outside the door looked at the weak "Dongdu Xia" and said it was incredible. There was a lot of talk.

As soon as Lord song patted the startled wood, there was a complete silence: "who is kneeling under the hall? Give your name! "

Old man Gu straightened up his thin body and replied humbly: "villain Gu Zhongyi, from Luoyang."

Lord song nodded: "I ask you, where are you between Haishi and Zishi on June 23 this year?"

"If I returned to my Lord, I was at Liu Yuanwai's house." When old Gu finished his sentence, pan Zhuqing almost jumped up from his chair, and Zhao Changyuan was a little confused.

Lord song then asked, "what did you do in someone else's house so late? Faster than I can explain clearly! "

Pan Zhuqing grabbed the armrest of the armchair and sweated all over. He had a hunch that the old man might be up to something.

Sure enough, "the little one hurt the member and stole 1000 liang of silver from his family!" Old man Gu said this sentence in a formal manner, and everyone in the hall and outside the door burst into an uproar.

Lord song was completely ignorant. The old man didn't look like a murderer. It was strange for pan Zhuqing to catch him at the beginning. Now the situation has developed so far that his father-in-law and monk can't touch his mind: "that is to say, you admit that you did the theft case of Liu member's family?"

"It's small." Old Gu raised his head with pride in his eyes.

Lord song rubbed his eyebrows: "you still left a letter at that time. Do you remember the content of the letter?"

Old Gu spread his hand: "I don't remember. It's been too long. Don't try it, sir. The small one is Dongdu Xia. It's as true as a fake. " His voice became louder and louder. At last, there was an uproar outside the door.

Pan Zhuqing put out a sneer that was very difficult to detect. So far, we can only change the original plan. Old man Gu wants to be a folk hero, so he can do it.

Zhao Changyuan looked at the weak figure kneeling in the hall and couldn't help but be awed. He knew in his heart that the old man was using his life to repay the kindness of Dongdu Xia.

After a startled clap, he calmed down again. Lord song continued to ask, "since you admit that you are the Dongdu Xia, then you did it when louzhi County, Jiangling Prefecture, died at home a year ago. The murderer boldly left a book to call himself the Dongdu Xia?"

Old Gu stretched his chin and tilted his head: "I only admit that it's Dongdu Xia. I don't remember other things for too long."

Lord song was so angry with his slightly arrogant attitude that he grabbed the punishment sign in the sign box, held it in his hand, pointed at him and said, "don't you remember? Do you think if you don't remember a sentence, I have nothing to do with you? No, you should use some punishment. It seems that your memory is not good. "

As soon as his voice fell, he found that Zhao Changyuan was turning his head and squinting at him. His expression made him completely unable to understand. He grabbed the punishment sign in his hand and threw it. If he didn't throw it, he thought again and again and put the punishment sign back into the sign box. Zhao Changyuan relaxed his complexion and turned back.

"I'll let you go for a while to avoid the pain of skin and flesh at your age. However, I can tell you that Dongdu Xia has committed crimes many times. Both the technique and handwriting are made by the same person. If you're really a Dongdu Xia, I'll show you to the imperial court. You can't escape your capital crime! " I really couldn't bear to see innocent people die unjustly, but old Gu was stubborn, so Lord song had to put the ugly words in front, hoping to sober him up“ The last time I ask you, are you Dongdu Xia? "

"It's the grass people!" Gu Zhongyi looked up and answered with a smile.

A few days ago, Gu Zhongyi's daughter came to visit him with her future husband. The young man was noble and beautiful, and treated his daughter like a pearl. He thought Gu Zhongyi was poor and helpless all his life. He had only such a daughter. After more than ten years of hardship, he was almost ruined by the beast surnamed Liu. In times of suffering, there was no family member or friend around to lend a helping hand to their father and daughter. Only Dongdu Xia, a man who has not even shown his face, provides charcoal for their father and daughter in the snow. In exchange for his daughter's happiness.

Gu Zhongyi didn't want to take the blame for his benefactor. Only yesterday, pan Zhuqing asked him to publicly accuse Dongdu Xia of being a boon in prison. After thinking about it, he finally understood that his arrest was used as a bait to lure the benefactor. The government wanted to kill Dongdu Xia! It's enough for him to take care of loyalty and righteousness and be unable to repay kindness. How can he be the kind of beast that retaliates for kindness and kills his benefactor? In that case, he might as well give up his crippled life for the Dongdu Xia and let him benefit more weak people.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhongyi looked more determined, as if his humble life had become brilliant and bright at the moment. He raised his chin and looked proudly at the Lords sitting in the hall for the first time.

Everyone looks at him differently. There are pan Zhuqing's indifference, song adult's helplessness, constables' contempt and surprise, and another, a handsome man he has never seen, with Gu Zhongyi's eyes full of admiration he most wants to see at the moment.

Lord song hung his head powerlessly: "OK! Master! "

The martial master came forward to listen to the order: "the lower officer is here."

Lord song was lying at the table, but the kneeling man in front of the hall ordered the master: "draw up the crime and let him sign the pledge!"

The master was ordered: "yes."

Gong Yueyue and Du ruotong hide in the background of the court and have seen the whole process clearly.

"This matter can be put aside for a while..." his answer tightened her heart. It seems that what he wants to say is not trivial.

"What's the matter? Just say something. " She turned over and sat face to face with him on her knees.

"Madam, you also know that Gu Zhongyi must want to repay his kindness, so he will admit that he is Dongdu Xia in the court."

She had almost guessed his mind, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared: "well, I understand. So what? "

He didn't give up and said, "I don't have the heart to let such a good man die unjustly, and I don't want to arrest Dongdu Xia who gave me grace..."

The temperature on her face instantly freezes: "so?"

He didn't dare look at her face: "I think... I'm going to take the blame for him." Then he looked up and saw her frozen expression“ Lady, don't be angry. I'll be fine. I... "

Without giving him a chance to finish, she directly interrupted him: "do you want to say that you have a death free gold medal, so you have two lives to squander?"

"That's not what I mean... Are you angry?" Knowing that something bad was going on, he reached out to touch her face.

She raised her hand to block his: "what do you think? Have you ever thought about what your parents' reputation will do if you bear this crime? " What about her? What about their future children?

"But that's a human life, lady." He tried to make a last ditch effort for the poor old man.

"Well, since you measure it like this, if I go on, I'll be gong Yueyue cold-blooded. Go and take the blame. No one in Luoyang is more like Dongdu Xia than you. You don't have to worry that others will doubt you. " With that, she quickly got out of bed, grabbed the pillow and wanted to go, but he held her in his arms.

"Lady... Don't be angry... I'm just discussing with you, aren't I?"

She stopped struggling, calmed down and turned back to face him: "OK, do you want to listen to me?"

"Yes." He nodded in affirmation.

She looked into his eyes and said slowly, "in my mind, the life of anyone in the world is less important than you. You can say I'm selfish and cold-blooded, I admit it. So you have to ask me for advice. I can tell you clearly that I don't agree. "
