Drunk House Chapter 243

The government doctor will come soon.

He carried the medicine box and went into the dark prison to see Guangzhen.

Guang really wanted to die, and he obviously knew medical skills. He bit the deadly artery at the base of his tongue, but the old Hu Guogong shot quickly, and he only bitten half, but even so, there was only one breath left.

The government doctor shook his head at the old Huguo Gong, "Old Duke, it's hopeless."

The old Duke was furious. He didn't expect this monk to have a lot of backbone, and he would rather die than confess.

King Ruian didn't expect that someone would bite his tongue and commit suicide right under the noses of him and the old Huguogong. For ordinary people, suicide requires courage. This monk has a lot of courage and is strong enough.

He stopped looking at Guangzhen, and said to Wangsu: "Tell me, who does he usually associate with? Especially people from Beijing, please explain carefully."

Wang Su was shocked and saddened by Guang Zhen's cruelty to him, and he was incoherent for a while, "Junior Brother, he is in charge of the Discipline Hall, and he is very strict. I don't know who I have special contacts with Beijing, the people in Beijing..."

He found that at this moment, his understanding of Guangzhen was completely subversive, "Junior brother has strict discipline and has many ordinary affairs. Although the poor monk and him are brothers of the same school, the poor monk also has a lot of affairs. He rarely talks in private. Although we meet and talk every day, it is also for temple affairs..."

"My king will give you time. You should think about it carefully. What's unusual about this recent light? You are both senior brothers and Buddhist disciples. You grew up together and have been with him for many years. You can always find something wrong with him." King Rui'an said.

Forgetting the custom and hearing the words, he paused, "Since a month ago, there was indeed something wrong with the younger brother, and he was often in a trance. But when I asked him, he only said that he was not feeling well recently, he didn't have a good rest, and he couldn't sleep peacefully at night."

"A month ago, did anyone see him?"

Guangzhen shook his head, "The poor monk never noticed."

King Rui'an stopped asking, and looked at the old protector.

The old Huguo didn't ask any more questions, and signaled King Rui'an to go out, so the two went out of the dark prison together, and the dark prison was closed again. The old Huguo said publicly: "My lord, let's go to the Great Buddha Temple! Find out who Guangzhen has been in contact with, and then check what he used. What's unusual. Also, the Great Buddha Temple is a monk, so we need to investigate again."

King Ruian nodded, "This king also thinks the same way. I will take the real corpse to the Great Buddha Temple. If you forget the customs, let's stay in the Duke Huguo's mansion!"

After he finished speaking, he approached the old Huguogong and lowered his voice, "This king always feels that there is something wrong with being oblivious to the customs. I am afraid that there are false statements. Wait for Zhou Gu to rest and let him interrogate again. Since he brought people back, he has a set of interrogation skills."

Old Huguogong nodded, "I know."

Ruian King said again: "There is also the second son Ning, he is the eldest prince's brother-in-law, although he approached Wang Su, but from what Wang Su revealed, he has never committed a crime, so it is not a crime. How do you think we should deal with it?"

"Leave him alone for the time being. He hasn't violated the law, and there's nothing he can do about it." The old Huguo said, "If we find out more, we'll interrogate him."

King Ruian also had this intention, nodded, and left the Duke Protector's Mansion.

After sending King Rui'an out of the mansion, the old Huguogong went to Zhou Gu's yard, saw Princess Sheng'an and others sitting in the painting hall outside, talking in a low voice, he asked: "How is Gu Geer?"

"When I came back, I said a few words and fell asleep. The medicine is almost ready, so I have to wake him up to drink the medicine." Princess Sheng'an said.

Old Huguogong nodded and sat down, "Thanks to that little girl's intelligence, she expected Brother Gu to have an accident on the way back to Beijing, so she sent someone to chase him fifty miles away and rescue him, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

He had already heard what King Ruian had said. Zhou Gu spoke in detail in front of the emperor. King Ruian could hear clearly. When he knew that Zhou Gu had returned, he went back to the courtyard without mentioning it to him, so he told him the story in detail.

Princess Sheng An nodded, "We were also talking about this just now. Our Duke Huguo owes Su Rong once."

For Su Rong who made Zhou Gu's favorite, and came to divorce her, Princess Sheng'an understood her, but after all, she was her grandson. Seeing how uncomfortable Zhou Gu was, she couldn't let go of Su Rong.

But unexpectedly, Su Rong and Ye Guixue went to the Great Buddha Temple and stayed there for a while. If they didn't return to Beijing, she couldn't chase them. Especially when Zhou Gu investigated the case and heard that they bumped into each other, she was helpless.

But now the discomfort and lack of energy are all replaced by gratitude. In any case, Su Rong realized this in advance and sent someone to chase after him and save Zhou Gu.

The old Hu Guogong sighed, "Brother Gu still needs to practice!"

Princess Sheng'an was not convinced, "What he lacks is not experience, but manpower. You assigned him only a hundred guards, and he took ten of them out of the city. The rest of them have dispersed to investigate the case, and some people went to Nanchu to check Ye Xiangfu and Ye Guixue. Even if he knew that returning to Beijing would be dangerous, wouldn't he come back? He rushed to the capital immediately. It can only be said that the people behind are watching too closely."

The old protector raised his beard, "It takes money to raise the Jingwei. Their brothers, except for the eldest son, must be treated equally. If a bowl of water is not leveled, the descendants will cause trouble in the inner courtyard. If everyone's guards are increased to two hundred, the expenses will be paid by the grandpa. How much money will they get every month?"

All the wives in the mansion are present, and he is not afraid to say it in front of his daughters-in-law. Anyway, he has always been a bowl of water.

Princess Sheng'an gave the old Hu Guogong a hard look, and spoke for Zhou Gu, "You said that, but you have high hopes for Brother Gu, and the burden on his shoulders, can it be the same as others? The treatment can't be lifted, but the burden is heavy."

All the wives glanced at each other. Seeing that the old couple, the in-laws, were about to quarrel, they couldn't answer for a while. After all, they can't express their position on behalf of their sons, saying that they will all increase guards, and they can't express their position that they will only increase guards for Zhou Gu. After all, from childhood to adulthood, the descendants of Duke Huguo's mansion, except for the eldest son, are treated the same regardless of their concubines. This has always been the rule. If the rules are broken now, then the next generation will also break the rules, and the cost of money will be too high. Even if the Duke Hu's family has a big business, they can't afford the huge expenses of the children and grandchildren for many years.

It's hard to talk about other wives, but the Duke's wife can say: "Father, mother, you two should not argue over this matter. It's my daughter-in-law's fault. My daughter-in-law didn't expect that someone would have the guts to intercept and kill Brother Gu within a hundred miles of the capital, and they won't stop dying. The daughter-in-law will discuss with the eldest son and Qingya. If they agree, the daughter-in-law will divide the dowry between the two of them in advance, and add guards to Brother Gu. Grandpa, you didn't break the rules of our house."

After all, her dowry is her personal property, and it was divided among her sons. No one can say anything, and it is understandable.

The old Huguogong couldn't say anything for a while, "Let's talk about it after Brother Gu wakes up!"

Princess Sheng'an agrees with Mrs. Guo's words, "I think this is good. The rest of the people are not in danger. You don't need to supplement the guards. If he is in danger, let's talk about the matter. That's the way it should be. Money is more important than human life? As a mother, you can certainly contribute."

She can also use the name of Mrs. Guogong to secretly use her private house to help her little grandson, not to mention that she is eccentric, everyone has eccentric eyes, and no one can control her even if she loves Zhou Gu.

Mrs. Guo nodded, "Father and mother are absolutely right, let's discuss this matter after Brother Gu wakes up!"

The wives naturally have no objection. The reason why there has been no major conflict within the Duke's Mansion is that the old Huguogong, the head of the family, has a very flat bowl of water. As for Princess Sheng'an, although she loves Zhou Gu the most, other grandchildren are not neglected, and Zhou Gu himself has never been stingy with his aunts and brothers. Over the years, every time he got something from the prince, he brought it back to the mansion, and everyone had a share. I also need to subsidize Zhou Gu, after all, the wives who marry into the Duke's Mansion are all ladies of the family, with good family status, rich dowry, and many private houses.

While talking, the kitchen boiled the medicine, and someone brought it over.

Princess Sheng'an took the medicine bowl, "Don't go in any of you, let's go, I'll send it to Brother Gu."

Guogong's wife was helpless, "Mother, how can I let you come to feed the medicine? You are a grandmother, serving the younger generation, what can Gu Geer do? Let the daughter-in-law come!"

"Don't worry about it, I'm happy." The eldest princess Sheng'an went in with a medicine bowl.

Mrs. Guo had no choice but to sigh inwardly, and followed in. With the mother-in-law around, most of the time, she, the mother, has to stand aside.

The old Hu Guogong muttered dissatisfiedly, "I didn't treat me so wholeheartedly."

All the wives were silent, as if they didn't hear what the old man said.
