Drunk House Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Visiting (one more)

Xie Lin didn't expect his father to take such a big case, and he also took him along with His Majesty to let him exercise with him. After a busy night, he took a nap in the morning when his father entered the palace, and after waking up, he took the time to visit Zhou Gu at Duke Huguo's mansion.

Zhou Gu was sitting on the bed, looking at the information about the mansions of the major families in Southern Chu that people had collected.

Since he has decided to travel to Southern Chu, he naturally wants to learn about Southern Chu in advance. Now that Su Rong is in the capital, and the ranking has not yet been released, he is not in a hurry to leave. He planned to take advantage of the recovery period to find out the great families and clans of Southern Chu, especially the Nangong family, Ye family, and Southern Chu clan.

Hearing that Xie Lin was coming, Zhou Gu asked people to remove all these things and hide them immediately, so he half-lyed and waited for Xie Lin to enter the house.

Xie Lin didn't get on well with Zhou Gu in the past, and he didn't come to his Shuanglin Garden very often. Now when he walked in, he saw the empty grape trellis, smashed it, thought that he didn't eat it this year, and next year he will eat the grapes from Zhou Gu's yard.

Entering the room, he saw Zhou Gu lying on the bed, pale, bloodless, and very weak. He looked at him and sighed, "I heard that you almost died from the burn yesterday. How is it? Did you burn your head? Can your head still function now?"

Zhou Gu said bluntly: "Designation is easier to use than your head."

When Xie Lin heard this, he immediately understood that the head probably wasn't burned out. He sat down, looked at Zhou Gu and said, "Who would have thought that it would be so dangerous for you to investigate a case and come back from the Great Buddha Temple early in the morning? You caught up with me."

Seeing that Zhou Gu was silent, he asked again: "Who the **** is this? Why is it so scary? I heard they came after you? They didn't even kill the two monks, but a large number of dead men surrounded you and wanted to kill you? Did you offend anyone? Or did you do something that made people have to put you to death?"

"I only dealt with Jiang Sheng and offended the eldest prince when I was in Jiangning County." Zhou Gu saw that he really cared about him very much, and didn't mind talking to him a few more words, "As for others, I don't know. If you kill me and make the Duke Protector's Mansion mourn, what consequences will it cause, and shake the court, maybe."

Xie Lin was stunned, and immediately sat up straight, "Don't tell me, I haven't thought of this. Yes, if something happens to you, how can the old Duke and Princess Sheng'an stand it? If they fall, the pillars of the Duke's Mansion will be gone, and you will be left. I didn't say that your elder brother is not as good as you. If something happens to you, the entire Duke's Mansion will collapse. Is it?"

He was extremely grateful and said: "I heard it was thanks to Su Rong."

He looked at Zhou Gu, "This Su Rong is really amazing."

Not only was he able to predict things like a god, ordering people to chase after Zhou Gu to rescue him, but also he was able to cut through hundreds of miles of thorns and thorns in the starry night, and came to the Duke Huguo's mansion, and gave him a prescription to reduce fever in an emergency. Even Xu Taiyi, the head of the Taiyuan Hospital, and the doctors of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall couldn't get rid of the enthusiasm, but she did it, why is she so capable.

He really didn't see it before, he really didn't show his face.

Zhou Gu nodded.

Xie Lin looked at Zhou Gu, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Su Rong followed Ye Guixue to the Great Buddha Temple to pay homage to the Buddha, and happened to meet you and He Zheng to investigate the case. She and Ye Guixue..."

Zhou Gu was silent.

Xie Lin understood and scratched his head, "Ye Guixue is the second son of Nanchu Yexiangfu, and Su Rong is the princess of Nanchu, they..."

Zhou Gu stopped him, "What are you looking for me today?"

Xie Lin stopped talking immediately, "I came to see you."

"Now that you've seen it too, you can go." Zhou Gu pushed people away.

Xie Lin: "..."

He just sat down for a while, Zhou Gu kicked him out, did he just say something he didn't want to hear? He immediately said: "In addition to coming to see you, I also learned about the case with you. You know, my father was arrested by His Majesty to investigate the case, and I was also brought along."

He pointed to his dark circles, "I didn't sleep last night."

Zhou Gu saw that he talked about investigating the case with interest, so he stopped chasing him, but talked about the case with him.

The two talked for a while about the case, and mentioned the two monks, Guangzhen committed suicide by biting his tongue.

Xie Lindao: "Can you come with me to the dark prison of your house, and we can interrogate Wangsu together?"

"Go by yourself! I want to recuperate." Zhou Gu waved his hand, "I'll let someone take you there."

Xie Lin saw his pale face, obviously looking unsuitable for hard work, nodded, stood up, "Okay, I'll go to the interrogation myself."

Zhou Gu called a person and asked him to take Xie Lin there.

Xie Lin took two steps and asked, "Where is Ziye beside you?"

"Lying on the bed to recuperate, his injury is also relatively serious." Zhou Gu said.

Xie Lin nodded, muttered "It's strange that I have to see him.", turned and left.

After Xie Lin left, Zhou Gu took out what he had just half-read, and continued to read.

Xie Lin was taken by someone to the prison in the Duke's Mansion, where Wangsu was tied to a pillar. The great monk was skinny and tender, obviously he had never suffered any crimes, but now that he has suffered, he is very depressed.

Seeing someone coming, Wang Su looked up and saw that it was Xie Lin, he also recognized it, and said: "Amitabha, thank you little prince."

Xie Lin nodded, "Master Wangsu."

He is the heir of the Rui'an Palace. Although he has a bit of a dandyism, he is not much.

He stood in front of Wang Su, stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked: "Master Wang Su, Master Guangzhen died because of you, don't you feel any guilt?"

Wangsu was taken aback for a moment.

Without waiting for him to speak, Xie Lin said again: "Let me guess, who can have such a great ability to buy the chief disciple of the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, even the prince, mother and concubine, I'm afraid you can't do it, because you are a smart person, and you know that it is not a good thing to meddle in the prince to seize power. Unlike what you said, she is currently in the Nanping Marquis Mansion, so she must be in the capital."

Wang Su's expression remained unchanged, and he said again, "Amitabha."

He said helplessly: "Young Lord Xie, just based on guesswork, you can conclude that the poor monk is harming people. No matter what the poor monk says, the prince doesn't believe it, the old Hu Guogong doesn't believe it, and the little prince Xie doesn't seem to believe it either. What else can the poor monk say?"

Xie Lin shook his head, "No, Master Wangsu, you still have something to say."

He leaned close to Wang Su, put it in his ear, and whispered to him: "You know, my mother and concubine have a heart for Buddha, and she loves worshiping Buddha the most. She goes to the Great Buddha Temple once a year, and every time she drags me to accompany him. I don't like to sit on a futon and worship Buddha with her, so I always sneak out and run all over the temple. The scene of the Great Buddha Temple, I can see when my mother and concubine find out that I am missing and send someone to look for me, so I can rush back to my room and pretend to be unwell."

He recalled: "About three years ago, I saw Master Wangsu and a woman hugging each other on Wangyue Peak. They cried for a long time. The man was wearing a palace costume..."

Wangsu's blood flowed backwards, and his whole body became stiff for a moment.

Xie Lin didn't seem to see his expression, and continued to say: "The distance is too far, I can't hear what she said, and I can't see the specific appearance of the woman. I can only vaguely see the woman in palace attire. I was very curious. When I returned to the Great Buddha Temple, I secretly observed it by myself. Hey, guess what? It really helped me find that person very quickly. Because that person sat with my mother and concubine.

Wang Su's face was pale, and he was speechless for a while.

Xie Lin took a step back and looked at Wangsu, "I have no other advantages as a person, except that I know that curiosity killed cats. Even if I am the little prince of Rui'an Palace, I must never touch things that cannot be touched. Otherwise, I won't know how I died. What's more, I am a three-legged cat, and I can't protect myself at all. So, I didn't tell anyone about it, not even my mother and concubine."

He looked at Wang Su, "Master Wang Su, now His Majesty has handed over your case to my father, and I was also dragged by my father and His Majesty to investigate this case. Naturally, I want to make meritorious service. After all, His Majesty must see my ability, so that I can be reused after my scientific examination is passed into the court, right?"

He twirled his fingers, "So, are you going to confess it yourself, or should I follow the man in the palace to investigate you? If you really ask me to investigate, no matter whether the person has anything to do with it, they will all be involved. Maybe when you want to protect it, you won't be able to protect it."
