Chapter 395: That’s it?
"You, you, you..." Lu Zhu was so angry that his face turned pale, "I won't talk to you about these nonsense. This box..."
The thief kneeling on the ground rolled his eyes and said, "I found it in Gu Shen's study! Besides this, there was another box! But I was almost discovered at that time, so I took one and ran away."
Lu Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up! You, a little thief, can't be trusted! And even if it is true, so what? It must have been found in Gu Han's room six years ago... The master didn't throw it away!"
Gu Han sneered: "Haha, when the poison was found in my room, we asked Abbot Puzhi to identify it. Later, Abbot Puzhi scattered the box of medicine into the stream in my house."
That is running water, so a small box of medicine will be diluted immediately if sprinkled into it, and will not harm the water source.
"So, this wasn't found in my room, but somewhere else! This is the evidence he used to frame me!"
The prefectural governor Song, who was at the top, said, "Captain Lu, take a team of people to the study of the Ningguo Marquis's mansion and guard it. If the Ningguo Marquis is at home, go to the study together to search. If he is not there, ask Madam Gu to have someone look for him."
"As for Miss Green Bamboo, you stay here for now."
After saying this, Prefect Song looked at Gu Han with some reproach.
What a fool!
Even if you really want to sue Gu Shen, you have to secretly serve him the complaint first, and then search him suddenly before it will work.
Wouldn't shouting this out in public be giving Gu Shen time to react?
However, this cannot be blamed on him, after all, it happened too suddenly.
If Gu Han didn't stop it, the evidence would be taken away.
The yamen runners received the order and went out immediately.
The prefect of the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a third-rank official with enormous power, and he could search any official noble of the third rank or below.
......
There was a carriage parked not far from the yamen. It was the carriage that the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion sent to send Luzhu.
The coachman was leaning against the cart and taking a nap.
At this time, an ordinary-looking man in cloth walked over and patted the groom: "Something happened at the government office."
The groom opened his eyes impatiently: "What happened? What does it have to do with me? Do you know where I come from? Go away, get out of here!"
The cloth-clothed man said, "I heard that a thief found a small blue box in the Ningguo Marquis's mansion, and a man named Gu Han is suing him for murdering his own son! Now the yamen runners are coming to search his study."
The groom was startled: "What did you say? Go!"
As he said this, he cracked the whip hard and rode out on his horse.
What is murder of a parent? The groom was confused, but the point was: his master was sued, and the evidence was a blue box...
The clever groom realized that this was a big deal, so he decided to inform the master first, no matter what.
......
Today is the Flower Goddess Festival, and the Ningguo Marquis Mansion is filled with women from various families.
Gu Shen didn't want to offend them, so he invited three or five friends to have a drink in a restaurant.
At this moment, his personal servant ran in and whispered in his ear, "Master, I heard that the yamen runners are coming to search your study."
"How outrageous!" Gu Shen got angry when he heard it and slammed the table hard.
His friends all looked at him.
The servant turned pale and said anxiously, "Anyway... what's the blue box... I don't know what's in it. It was groom Sun who asked me to come and tell you."
Blue box?
Could it be that...
Gu Shen's face changed, and he immediately reacted and said to his friends, "Sorry, I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
He went downstairs, got on the carriage, and drove home while listening to the coachman talking about what happened in the hall.
After listening to the general idea, Gu Shen guessed the whole story.
When he heard the word Gu Han, his face darkened.
Soon, Gu Shen returned home. Fortunately, the yamen runners had not arrived yet.
He hurried into the study, closed the door, moved the chair away first, then came to the antique shelf and gently turned a vase in the middle.
There was a small crypt under his chair.
In the past, the floor tiles would open when I turned the bottle, but now they won’t open no matter how hard I turn them.
"Why?" Gu Shen's eyes widened. He was busy spinning bottles, picking at floor tiles, and doing all kinds of things.
At this time, the party in the garden where the party was held was about to end.
A maid walked up to Madam Shen and whispered something.
Madam Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and she secretly tugged at the eldest princess' sleeve.
The princess burped immediately: "I feel a little dizzy, I want to find a place to sleep..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. The big Buddha was finally tired!
Mei smiled and said, "Then Princess, please follow me to the guest room to rest!"
The princess nodded and said, "Come on, come on... Let's go and have a rest..."
The women present were all confused. Since the princess was drunk, of course she had to rest. What were they going to rest for?
But since the princess had spoken, it would be inappropriate for me to leave first, so I had to see her off before leaving.
Princess Fushun stumbled forward, holding the hands of her maid and nanny. Even though she was drunk, she could run very fast.
Many of the female relatives could no longer catch up with her.
Mei almost tripped over her feet: "Your Highness, we've gone the wrong way, this is not the way..."
The maid who was supporting the princess glared at her and said, "The princess is drunk and has a bad temper. She can go wherever she wants."
The eldest princess stumbled towards Gu Shen's study.
At this moment, Gu Shen was sweating with anxiety, and was still struggling with the floor tiles and the vase: "Why can't I open them... What's going on!"
At this moment, he suddenly felt his legs go weak and he fell to the ground with a thud.
He broke the vase out of his hand.
A bonsai tree next to it also fell down.
With a slight "boom" sound, the floor tiles actually opened.
Gu Shen was overjoyed and ran over to find the small blue box. He had to hide or destroy the thing first!
At this time, the eldest princess and her entourage also came to the outside of the study.
Gu Shen's servant was standing outside the room. When he saw a group of women coming over, he was so frightened that his heart jumped into his throat. His master was still in the room, suspected to be doing something shameful...
Mei said anxiously: "Your Highness... please come this way!"
He wanted to take the eldest princess and other female relatives away from this land.
At this time, the calls of cuckoos were heard from somewhere not far away.
"Okay, okay..." The eldest princess smiled, but she stumbled and with a bang, she drunkenly bumped into the door of the study.
With a "boom", the study door opened.
Gu Shen had just dug out the small blue box, but when he turned around, the door was kicked open and he saw a group of people standing outside.
The Princess, Old Madam Shen and others saw Gu Shen standing in front of the desk with an exquisite blue box in his hand.
When Gu Shen saw the person who suddenly appeared, his face changed and he subconsciously hid the box in his hand behind him.
"This..." The noble lady who came with the princess looked at Gu Shen standing there and curled her lips in disappointment.
They felt something was wrong on the way, the princess was walking around as if she had a purpose.
They thought they would run into a scene of someone catching someone cheating, but...that was it?
Mei was also confused and couldn't react for a moment. She always felt that the atmosphere was weird.
At this time, a group of yamen runners came over and asked, "Is Lord Gu at home?"
