    Chapter 205 Get rich Get rich

    Ye Wuhen was originally imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. After nightfall, a mysterious master suddenly sneaked in secretly, injured the yamen officer and rescued him.When the emperor heard the news, Long Yan was furious and ordered the Jinglu Department and the Criminal Department to jointly investigate and arrest the person.

    Du Lingchun took the people out after receiving the order, but he hasn't come back yet.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that he was indeed a master if he could rob a prison single-handedly and successfully rescue people.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the guards were too novices.

    He looked at Shi Qianqiu: "Master, don't you want your disciple to accompany you?"

    Obviously, not everyone can tolerate Gongsun Zhuoyu's sticky temper like Du Lingchun. Shi Qianqiu refused: "No need."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu sighed: "Okay, then I won't disturb Master's practice."

    It was dark at night. After taking a bath, Gongsun Zhuoyu lay on the bed and thought about the case.If I take the yamen servants directly to the Hong family tomorrow to inquire, I don't know if they will be blocked. And judging from the cryptic appearance of the servants, I'm afraid they won't be able to find out anything.

    It's really tricky.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu turned over in the quilt.I thought to myself that I didn't know which evil spirit had killed someone. He just forgot about the killing and threw the body into Jingzhao Mansion. He had the ability to throw it into the emperor's dragon bed.

    Du Lingchun didn't come back until midnight.

    He was harassed by Gongsun Zhuoyu and made a lot of noise last night, which made him feel uncomfortable.After returning to the house, he took off his outer clothes and sat down by the bed as usual. However, before the maid could ask about Gongsun Zhuoyu's whereabouts, his waist suddenly tightened, his eyes spun around, and he fell into the soft quilt.

    "Company."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu just hid under the quilt and deliberately kept silent, but now he showed up.He pressed Du Lingchun under him and asked aloud: "Why are you coming back now?"

    Du Lingchun guessed it was him and didn't struggle. He supported his head with his hands and raised the ends of his slender eyes slightly: "Why, don't you, Jing Zhaoyin, not know about the imperial court's felons being robbed?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded: "I heard, have you caught him?"

    Du Lingchun said: "People have been ordered to seal the city gate. Ye Wuhen is seriously injured, and his hands and feet are shackled. He can't run far... But there is no rush. Let him be free for a few days."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu nuzzled into his arms: "Why?"

    Du Lingchun thought that Gongsun Zhuoyu was usually a smart person, but how could he act stupidly at critical moments.She flicked the tip of his nose with her slender fingertips, and said with a half-smile, "Then Ye Wuhen escaped from the prison of the Criminal Department. Do you think Minister Hong can get away with it?"

    Du Lingchun still remembered Hong Wentao's threat to Gongsun Zhuoyu a few days ago, but he was just waiting for an opportunity.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu thought the same thing and smiled happily: "The company is still smart."

    Du Lingchun thought you were just stupid.When he saw Gongsun Zhuoyu looking at him with a smile, he unconsciously softened his voice, lightly traced the side of his face with his fingertips, and then asked: "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu pressed his forehead, nose to nose: "I'll wait for you to come back and sleep together."

    When Du Lingchun heard this, he glanced at the sky and saw that it was already late at night and late at night. He got up from the bed and said, "Then I'll take a bath first."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was lying on the bed obediently. Hearing this, he pulled up the quilt and patted the seat next to him: "Go to the company, I'll wait for you."

    #唷巷shy#

    Du Lingchun: "..."

    Du Lingchun wondered why he hadn't realized that Gongsun Zhuoyu was such a... contradictory person before?She likes to be shy and extremely thick-skinned.After taking a shower, he lay down on the bed, feeling a little cool with the water vapor on his body, but he was warmed up soon after.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu hugged him and was about to go to bed when someone suddenly grabbed him on the face.He opened his eyes and saw that Du Lingchun was leaning his head, looking at him with interest, his hair was scattered, and his eyebrows were becoming more and more indistinguishable.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu touched his face: "What's wrong?"

    Du Lingchun didn't know what he was thinking of. He couldn't help but curled his lips and said in a cool tone: "I want to see how thick-skinned our newly appointed Lord Jing Zhaoyin is. He worked so hard to provide information. YouI was only willing to reward him with a penny."

    Rumors spread quickly, and now many people know that the clerk at the Silk Satin Shop went to the government to report the crime, but only got a penny reward, which almost made people laugh.

    Although Gongsun Zhuoyu pointed out that the copper coin was a token that could be used to report any grievances in the future, but presumably not many people believed it except the silly clerk.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu really blushed this time and whispered: "You have to use your money wisely."

    He also plans to buy a house in the capital.

    Du Lingchun scolded him: "You're worthless!"

    How could he treat Gongsun Zhuoyu so harshly? He would pick up every penny and find himself if he lost it.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu wondered why Du Lingchun was becoming more and more fierce and not at all as gentle as before.

    #QAQ Sure enough, if you get it, you won’t be cherished#

    Gongsun Zhuoyu hugged Du Lingchun's waist under the quilt and looked at him eagerly: "Sir, do you not like me anymore? If you don't like me, just say it. I am not a stalker..."

    #really not#

    Du Lingchun didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the hand that was holding his waist. He didn't know what to say for a moment, thinking why he got involved in this for no reason.He pulled Gongsun Zhuoyu with some embarrassment: "Nonsense, I have been thinking about some random things all day long."

    The more he pulled me, the tighter Gongsun Zhuoyu’s hug became. Tears welled up in his eyes: “Do you not like me anymore?”

    Du Lingchun was so strangled that he couldn't breathe and had given up struggling.He thought he was already sensitive and suspicious enough, but it turned out that Gongsun Zhuoyu was even more sensitive than he was.However, he could not be beaten or scolded, he could only be coaxed and worshiped by his ancestors.

    Du Lingchun said to him helplessly: "Don't act like a little girl."

    He shouldn't have been so cruel to Gongsun Zhuoyu, he was just causing trouble for himself.

    Hearing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu placed a hot kiss on his neck, gently licked and teased him with the tip of his tongue, and then gradually moved up and bit his earlobe: "Is the company wrong?"

    Du Lingchun trembled when he bit him, his ears were hot, red and congested with blood. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "...wrong."

    If you admit your mistake, just admit it, you are not an outsider anyway.Du Lingchun was ruthless in his external tactics, but he was flexible and flexible towards Gongsun Zhuoyu.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu liked the way he was helpless against him. His warm palms slowly came down, and he pressed Du Lingchun's waist through his clothes. After a moment, he asked in a low voice: "How was Si Gong born? How?"Every inch of it is in my heart.”

    He was not shy at all and said whatever came to his mind.When Gongsun Zhuoyu first saw Du Lingchun, he felt that everything about him was just right.The yin and yang look is also lovable.

    Du Lingchun covered his mouth, unable to resist.I thought that Gongsun Zhuoyu was really born to be romantic. Those who knew said he was simple-minded, but those who didn't knew thought he was a veteran who had experienced love for many years.

    Du Lingchun whispered: "Of course I was born by my mother. I'm not ashamed. I won't go to bed soon."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't continue to act like a monster. He said "oh" and closed his eyes obediently and fell asleep.

    The next morning, Du Lingchun went out to court.Gongsun Zhuoyu woke up in confusion and turned over out of habit, only to find something papery next to his face. He looked at it carefully and saw a thick stack of banknotes next to his pillow.Sitting up from the bed,

    what happens?!

    Gongsun Zhuoyu looked around and found that no one was in the room. He looked at the pile of scattered banknotes and wondered if they were given by Du Lingchun, right?

    He hesitantly stretched out his hand, collected the banknotes and counted them, and found that there were at least seven or eight thousand taels. After a long silence, he fell down and rolled on the bed with joy.

    It’s going! It’s going!

    If I had known, I would have followed Du Lingchun all my life. He had been a corrupt official for several years, and the money he got from corruption was not as much as the fractions that others throw around. It was really a waste of his life.

    Du Lingchun didn't go far. He stood outside the corridor and looked in through the crack of the window. He saw Gongsun Zhuoyu rolling around on the bed like a cat having fun. He slightly curled his lips and looked away in a good mood..

    This is only right. The person he likes, Du Lingchun, naturally wants to enjoy all the glory and wealth. How can he be short of money?

    Du Lingchun shook his crimson sleeves and said to Wu Yue, "Let's go."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was so happy inside that he didn't even want to go to the government office. He rolled from one end of the bed to the other, and then from the other end of the bed, holding the pile of banknotes as if he was holding a big baby..

    The system was watching in the dark, feeling that he was humping around on the bed like a maggot, so it couldn't help but show up and fly over, patted his head with its wings and reminded: "Dear, you must stick to your heart and don't be fooled.Beguiled by money!”

    Gongsun Zhuoyu was so overwhelmed by the banknote that he didn't even hear what it said clearly. He took the time to glance at it: "Ah? What did you say?"

    The system threatened: "If you don't handle the case, I will call you."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu froze when he heard this, and immediately jumped up from the bed as if his butt was on fire: "No, no, no! Go right away, go right now!"

    In order to hunt down Ye Wuhen, Minister Hong left the house early in the morning before dawn.Therefore, when Gongsun Zhuoyu took the government servants to the Hong Mansion, the only person he saw was Mr. Hong's mother, Mrs. Hong.

    "I wonder if the old lady has heard that there was a murder case in the capital recently. A woman was killed mysteriously. After many investigations, I found out that the dead woman was named Siyun. She was a maid in the house. She took the liberty to come to the door.Don’t blame me yet.”

    Mrs. Hong loves her grandson the most. Hong Wentao was caught and beaten by Gongsun Zhuoyu a few days ago. Naturally, she didn't have a good face. She sat on the high seat and said in a cold tone: "I am a woman, and I don't usually have enough time."When I leave the house, I naturally don't know about the rumors from outside. Besides, there are many maids in the house, so I really don't know who you are talking about, and I'm afraid that your trip will be in vain."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu thought to himself that this old lady didn't look like a good person: "I am investigating the case according to His Majesty's order, and I would like to ask the old lady to make it convenient for me to check it at the house."

    Mrs. Hong crossed the rosary beads in her hand without raising her eyes: "There are women in the house, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his eyebrows: "In that case, I am not inconvenient to disturb you. However, Master Hong and I are also colleagues. I heard that the young master in the house fell ill and passed away, so I wanted to go to his funeral and burn a stick of incense."

    He has said so, and it will inevitably seem unkind to continue to block him.After hearing this, Mrs. Hong opened her eyes. Although her eyes were old, they were full of sparkle. She thought she was a powerful person when she was young. She slowly stopped her movements and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your kindness. Come and bring Gongsun."Sir, go to the mourning hall."

    The old lady seemed to have a lot of power in the house. The servants in the room didn't even dare to raise their heads. After hearing this, someone immediately came out and bowed slightly to Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Please come with the servants, sir."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu knew in his heart that the old lady was looking for someone to keep an eye on him, but he pretended not to know it. As the maid left the main hall, he felt more and more that there was a ghost in the house.

    The young master of the Hong family has not yet left the dojo. The Taoist priest is chanting sutras for salvation outside, his voice is low and ghostly.There is a sacred table in the center of the room, and the young master's spiritual tablet is enshrined on it.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced at the maid: "Your young master has been buried?"

    The maid nodded: "It should have been buried a long time ago, but the old lady couldn't bear to part with it. The coffin stayed there for a while, and it was only buried ten days ago."

    Otherwise, the corpse will stink if it is released again.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu suddenly understood. He walked into the mourning hall, put on the incense sticks, and then asked the maid: "Can I look around?"

    The maid looked hesitant, obviously unable to make the decision: "This..."

    Seeing her young age, Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that she was just a little girl and could not be coaxed more easily: "I just walk around and don't do anything. Besides, if you are following me, I might be able to set fire to the flood."The family’s house?”

    The maid was amused by what he said, and after reacting, she quickly suppressed her smile and said with some embarrassment: "Master, don't go too far. If you let the old lady know, I'm afraid I will be punished."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled and said: "Of course not, thank you girl."

    The maid had probably never seen such a handsome and elegant official, and she blushed with embarrassment.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu had already begun to inspect the mourning hall. He found that there was an inner room on the left, separated by a screen, and the wall was covered with prayer flags. He couldn't help but ask aloud: "What is this?"

    The maid explained: "This is a prayer flag to pray for blessings, to protect the young master from the sufferings of hell as soon as possible. The Taoist priests said that it must be hung for forty-nine days before it can be taken down."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu said oh and looked at the ground in the corner. He didn't know what he found and frowned.He stepped forward and took a look, only to see two vague dark marks on the floor tiles. The edges were slightly yellow and there were flies crawling on them.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu lay on the ground, got closer and smelled it, and smelled a very slight sour smell, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

    The maid was shocked when she saw him lying on the ground for no reason: "Master Gongsun, you..."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu reacted, yelled, and quickly got up from the ground: "I just saw a mouse running over, and I wanted to see if there was a mouse hole."

    The maid hid her face and smiled, thinking he was interesting: "Sir, you are joking, why is there a mouse hole here?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu asked her casually: "If there is no mouse hole, is there anyone there?"

    For example...a corpse kneeling in the corner?

    Because he had been kneeling in this mourning hall for a long time, with his knees touching the ground, the corpse fluid gradually seeped into the gaps between the stone bricks, and could not be cleaned away no matter how hard he cleaned.

    The mourning hall was silent, probably because the coffin had been parked there, and a faint smell of corpses lingered for a long time.Dozens of Taoist priests chanted obscure scriptures outside, and the whole life sang out the ghostly and gloomy feeling of the night.

    "call……"

    A gust of wind suddenly blew into the house. The prayer flags hanging on the wall were blown loudly, and the curtains also danced with the wind.

    The maid subconsciously turned around and saw a woman kneeling in the corner through the semi-permeable gauze curtain, with the corners of her mouth torn to both sides, looking at her with a pair of eyes, smiling eerily.

    The scream reached his throat and was suppressed again.The maid covered her mouth with her hands and was so scared that she lost her mind. However, when she looked closely, she saw that the corner was empty and there was nothing there.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't know why, so he called her: "Girl? Girl?"

    "Ah?" The maid reacted, looked at him subconsciously, put down her hand with a pale face, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her head: "Sir... what are your orders?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu said: "Nothing, I just want to ask if there is a maid named Siyun in your house. Do you know her?"

    The maid's expression became even more grim, and she forced a smile: "Sir, this servant has always only served the old lady. The affairs of the embroidery room are under the control of Mother Shen. I have never heard of Siyun."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu looked at her with burning eyes: "I never told you that Siyun is the embroiderer. Since you haven't heard of it, how do you know that she is the embroiderer?"

    The maid then realized that she had let slip her words, and she subconsciously took a step back, unable to speak.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu stared at her closely.
