Chapter 237 Shocked
Li Hui was stunned for a moment and bowed, "Young Master, have you made a mistake? What kind of lotus pond fountain? That has nothing to do with me."
There was a trap in Gu Chang's words, and he deliberately praised the fountain and lotus pond for being very good, which led to Li Hui's initiative to admit it. Li Hui could not be fooled if he heard it.
"Do you still refuse to admit it? We all know. Qingning also said it. You gave Qingning an idea and made a fountain to surprise Dongweng. This is a good thing, what are you denying it?" Han Yong frowned.
Li Hui was stunned and thought to himself: Why did Gu Qingning tell this? Didn’t she promise me not to disclose this? Didn’t she know that this was harming me? No, Gu Qingning shouldn’t be so confused.
"It's really not me. How can I have that ability? What kind of fountain? I haven't seen it before." Li Hui bit to death.
Gu Chang frowned and his face darkened. Han Yong laughed and said, "Young Master, look, he is still denying it. He is very scheming."
Gu Chang shouted, "There is no need to be polite to him. Li Hui, it is useless to deny it. We already have a witness. You slave, you privately broke into the back house of the south house, breaking the rules of my Gu family and having ulterior motives. Don't you know that people are not allowed to enter and exit at will at will? What is your identity? Just a slave, how dare you do this? This is a transgression."
Li Hui knew it was this and felt extremely regretful. He didn't know why Gu Chang and the others knew about it, and something happened to him.
"Big Young Master, Mr. Han, I didn't break into the back house privately, you can't swear." Li Hui could only bite him to death.
"You don't cry until you see the coffin. You said that someone had witnessed it, but you still deny it. The eldest son, just go to Mingjietang for interrogation. This guy will not be willing to take any pain." Han Yong sneered.
Gu Chang nodded and said, "That's right. He broke his legs first, and then thought about his intentions. He took them down."
Several Nanzhai Guardians were standing aside to watch the fun, but they were a little stunned when they heard this. Li Huiping had a good relationship with these people, and she also learned some fists and feet from them. She was very familiar with them. She suddenly wanted to take him, but she couldn't make a turn.
"What are you still standing there? Haven't you heard the eldest son's order? Take down Li Hui, the slave." Han Yong shouted sternly.
The guards came to their senses and came forward to get Li Hui. But Gu Chang couldn't wait, so he stepped forward and grabbed Li Hui's arm and pulled it. Li Hui tried his best to break free from Gu Chang's palm.
Gu Chang was furious: "Can you resist?"
He reached out and grabbed Li Hui's clothes and pulled it hard. After hearing a stinging sound, Li Hui's linen robe was torn apart. The robe was pulled open, and several things in his arms fell to the ground.
A small string of copper coins, a ball of sweat towel, and a locust flower sachet sewn in coarse blue cloth are all carried with you. These are nothing, but among these items, a snow-white silk squid is falling, which is very eye-catching.
Han Yong saw it clearly and found it strange. He went forward and picked it up, opened the silk serpent and shouted immediately.
"Oh, it's amazing. This dog is actually...it's a damn thing. This is amazing."
Li Hui had been controlled by several guards, and Gu Chang also let go. Hearing Han Yong screaming, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Han Yong came forward without saying a word and grabbed Gu Chang and pulled him under the shade of the tree in the corner of the yard.
Gu Chang didn't understand his intention and said impatiently: "What are you doing? Are you saying it?"
Han Yong whispered: "Don't shout loudly, Master, look, what is this?"
Gu Chang looked at the silk parcel handed over by Han Yong and frowned, "Isn't it a silk parcel?"
Han Yong lowered his voice and said, "Oh, don't I know it's a silk parcel? How could that kid have this thing? This silk parcel is a woman's thing. You see clearly that the corner of the silk parcel is embroidered with characters."
When Gu Chang heard this, he looked carefully and saw two small characters embroidered in the corner of the silk parison: Qingning. He immediately shouted: "This is... this is Qingning's silk parison?"
Han Yong nodded slightly and looked at Gu Chang without saying a word.
Gu Chang said: "Why is Qingning's silk squid on this kid? Could it be..."
Han Yong said slowly: "Young Master, this slave is probably more than just a private tyrant. Maybe he did something to commit suicide to destroy the reputation of the Gu family. This matter is of great importance, and it is amazing."
Gu Chang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. My cousin's silk handkerchief was on Li Hui. What does this mean? The dog wanted a toad to eat swan meat and came up with Gu Qingning. What's so great? Wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the Gu family?
Gu Chang rushed to Li Hui with a blue face without saying a word, and raised his hand and slapped Li Hui twice. Li Hui's hands were caught by the guards and could not hide at all. The two slaps made Li Hui's cheeks so painful, the corners of his mouth were salty and blood was flowing out.
Li Hui was extremely angry and said angrily: "Young Master, what mistake did I make? I am not your servant of Gu family, how can you raise your hand and hit me?"
Gu Chang cursed angrily: "It's still a slight attack on you. When you report to your uncle, you will hang you alive. You dog slave, with these bad ideas, you dare to be arrogant on the head of my Gu family. You said, "What is this? Where did you come from?"
When Li Hui saw the silk handkerchief in Gu Chang's hand, he felt so clear that he couldn't speak for a moment.
When cleaning the silk squid, Li Hui saw the small words on the silk squid. But he didn't care at all. Who would have thought that this silk squid would be misunderstood by Gu Chang and the others, but he seemed unable to explain it. If Gu Qingning bandaged his wound, wouldn't he admit that he had privately entered the back garden of the Nanzhai? Moreover, wouldn't this also slander others?
Li Hui was angry, and a stubborn aura rose from his heart. The more this time, he refused to surrender.
"Haha, you want to know, but I won't tell you." Li Hui sneered as the blood on the corner of his mouth.
"Dog guy, look for a fight." Gu Chang raised his kick and kicked Li Hui in the stomach. Li Hui groaned, and his face turned pale in pain.
"Blow me hard, until he surrenders. If he refuses to surrender, he will be beaten to death." Gu Chang shouted loudly.
The guard dragged Li Hui to the side. Although he had a good relationship, he had a good impression of Li Hui. However, no one dared to disobey the order of the master's family, so he had to do so. They pressed Li Hui to the ground and took the stick to prepare for the action.
At this moment, someone coughed heavily at the entrance of the hall and said in a deep voice: "Who is making noise here? I can't sleep well?"
Everyone turned to look, but Gu Qian stood at the door of the hall, frowned and looked unkind.
Gu Chang walked over quickly and shouted: "Uncle..."
But Gu Qian waved his hand and interrupted him, saying lightly: "Why did the eldest son come to Nan's house early in the morning? Is there anything wrong?"
Gu Chang hurriedly said, "Uncle Uncle doesn't know yet. There is a brave dog slave by your side, that is Li Hui. Do you know what he did? Look, this is the silk parcel I found in his arms. Uncle Uncle See whose silk parcel it is. This dog slave is lawless and should be severely punished."
Gu Qian reached out to take the square silk handkerchief, glanced at it, put it into his sleeve. There was no strange expression on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Young Master, where is this?"
Gu Chang was stunned and said in surprise: "This is the Nanzhai, why did Uncle ask this?"
"Since I know it's a Nan's house, why did the eldest son come to the Nan's house to take charge of me? Otherwise, I will report to the head of the family and ask the eldest son to move to the Nan's house to take charge of me. What do you think?" Gu Qian said slowly.
Gu Chang was stunned and speechless for a moment. Of course, he could hear Gu Qian's implicit meaning, and the meaning was obvious. The owner of the Nanzhai was Gu Qian, and he was not qualified to make decisions for him here.
No one has ever said such or similar things in front of Gu Chang, so he was a little shocked and panicked. Besides, Gu Qian, who has always been gentle, is not the way his uncle spoke, and today he will scold himself in public.
But Gu Qian's words were not finished yet, and the words that shocked him were still behind.
"Gu Chang, you can go and ask you, Ah Weng, and your grandfather. Even they have never acted like you in my Nanzhai. Then Li Hui is from my Nanzhai. No matter what mistakes he made, I should deal with them, not you. Do you understand this principle?"
Gu Chang was just a young man who was just in his twentieth year. In addition, he was the eldest son of the Gu family. In the Gu family, no one violated his behavior and speaking. But this developed a habit of arrogance. Gu Chang thought that in the Gu family, he had to listen to him except the head of the family and the young head of the Gu family. Even in the southern house, he did not think there was any difference between him and the northern house.
But his actions were exactly taboos. The current head of the Gu family is Gu Chun and Gu Yan's lineage. However, the Gu family in Wujun is not owned by their lineage. The Gu family in Wujun is a whole, composed of the Gu family's houses far and near. It forms a community of interests with blood as the bond.
Gu Qian and his late cousin Gu Yuezhi's lineage are not weak. The ancestor Gu Rong was also the leader of the Jiangnan gentry and served as the Shizhong. He was also the head of the Gu family. Gu Rong's nephew Gu He led all the ministers in the court and served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat. The head of the Gu family came to Gu He's lineage.
Therefore, like other major families in Wujun, the Gu family, takes the interests of the family as the starting point to coordinate internal relations. With blood ties, the common interests formed by the common interests are planned by the portal and the interests. This is a basic consensus.
At this time, the Gu family in Wujun, like other Jiangnan families, was suppressed by the northern overseas clans, lost an important position in the court and had already shown signs of decline. There were actually no outstanding figures in the northern and southern clans. The young head Gu Yan was just a prefect. The reason why he could continue to be passed down as the head of the family was somewhat because of Gu Qian's humility and Gu Yuezhi's son Gu Kaizhi's unintentional towards family affairs and court official positions.
Gu Kaizhi is a famous scholar, and he has a good relationship with many famous scholars in the Jin Dynasty. Whether it is the Wang family of Langya, Xie family of Chen County, Wang family of Taiyuan, etc., the powerful figures among the overseas Chinese clans, they all highly respect Gu Kaizhi's painting skills. Gu Kaizhi is also their guest.
Unfortunately, Gu Kaizhi was obsessed with painting skills and was not concerned about other things. He had no thoughts about official positions and family matters. Otherwise, Gu Kaizhi would have a place in the court. Then the Gu family's situation would not be like this now.
A junior like Gu Chang did not understand these principles at all, nor did he understand the subtle relationships within the family. He thought he was the eldest grandson of the head of the family and could inherit the position of the head of the family like the throne in the future, and he had the final say in the Gu family. In fact, even if his grandfather Gu Chun came, he would not beat and scold him in the south house, because although Gu Qian was not the head of the family, his status in the Gu family was extremely special.
Gu Qian's face was cold, and he could not tolerate Gu Chang being so presumptuous. In fact, he understood the reason when he saw the scarf. But the more he did, the more he could not make Gu Chang so presumptuous. If Li Hui was really brave and dared to hook up with his granddaughter, it would have made him disappear in secret, rather than so much publicity.
It can even be said that Gu Chang did this obviously embarrass himself, with intentional suspicion.
