Chapter 145 You are the fastest when you promise, but forget it in the blink of an eye...
Although Song Pu was very confident that Emperor Xia's plan to deal with the aristocratic families would ultimately fail, he still gave him a reminder.
Emperor Xia was already very dissatisfied with the aristocratic families.
This is not a good sign. Although the aristocratic families are not afraid of the royal family, no one will benefit if they continue to confront each other like this.
Emperor Xia doesn't have many years left to live, so it seems we have to start pushing other things forward.
Song Pu thought secretly.
……
While Song Pu was thinking about how to deal with the situation, Song Yu brought Gu Xiu to the Heavenly Prison.
As soon as the Gu family met, Song Yu immediately wailed, "Master, you have suffered!"
"..."
Gu Heng's mouth twitched. If he was to talk about suffering, he had just been imprisoned and he didn't suffer much. After all, it was the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Justice was an official from Song Pu's faction. No one in this prison embarrassed him.
"You've come at the right time. There's something I need you to do!"
Gu Heng said without hesitation.
Who would have thought that as soon as he said this, he heard Gu Xiu say, "Dad, grandpa told us before we came here that no matter what you ask us to do, it's best for us to do nothing right now!"
"???"
Gu Heng was stunned.
The old father-in-law told his wife and children not to do anything?
If I really don't do this, I'm afraid that spending my whole life in jail would be the best outcome.
He said, "Listen to me, you can't believe what my father-in-law says. You can't just sit here and wait."
"Uh……"
Song Yu and Gu Xiu looked at each other in bewilderment. Their father (grandfather) said it was better to be still than to move, while their husband (father) said they absolutely could not do nothing...
Who should I listen to?
Gu Heng paid no attention to his wife and children's expressions. He continued, "That bastard Gu Yong must have been deceived by that beast Gu Jingzhi. He's now at Gu Jingzhi's farm outside the city. Send someone over there and dig deep into the ground to silence Gu Yong."
Gu Yong? Silencing?
Song Yu was stunned and asked, "Master, are you sure Gu Yong is in Gu Jingzhi's hands?"
"Is this true? If it wasn't in Gu Jingzhi's hands, how could he have obtained that confession?"
Gu Heng said bitterly, "If it weren't for that confession, how could I have ended up like this?"
"Dad, you said Gu Yong was deceived by Gu Jingzhi? How is that possible? Hasn't Gu Yong always been the most loyal to you? How could he believe Gu Jingzhi? Could it be that the confession was just a fabrication by them?"
"Yes, sir!"
Song Yu also looked at Gu Heng in confusion.
They all knew the people in charge of the Gu family, especially Gu Yong, who was the one doing all the dirty work. The Gu family trusted him... and his loyalty to the Gu family was beyond doubt.
"But what if that beast deceives us by claiming to be the eldest son of the Gu family?"
Gu Heng said bitterly.
The main reason why Gu Jingzhi was disliked by him was that Gu Jingzhi was not his blood relative at all.
But he couldn't publicize this matter. Even his wife and children were busy with it, just to avoid damaging his majestic image.
Song Yu was startled when he heard this, and muttered to himself, "Master, now that you mention it, it does seem possible!"
No matter how unloved this son is...he is still a son, right?
Gu Yong is just a servant of the Gu family. As long as Gu Jingzhi uses the name of Gu Heng and pretends that it is an order from his own master, there is a great possibility that Gu Yong will believe it.
"This damned little thief..."
Thinking of Gu Jingzhi's smug expression, Song Yu cursed with gritted teeth, then said to Gu Heng, "Don't worry, sir. When I get back, I'll have people search that little thief's farm outside the city and make sure he's dead without any evidence!"
Gu Jingzhi used Gu Yong's handwriting as evidence to accuse Gu Heng, but if Gu Yong was gone, they would naturally question whether the evidence in Gu Jingzhi's hands was false.
The purpose is to frame Gu Heng.
Although this approach is full of loopholes, all they want is... an excuse to question the evidence in Gu Jingzhi's hands!
As for the witnesses and victims who will soon arrive in Beijing...
With her father around, it was obviously not difficult to deal with them.
Gu Heng was stunned watching from the side. When he broke up with his grandfather just now, his mother Song Yu was the first to agree to his grandfather's words. But in the blink of an eye, how could she agree to her father to go to Gu Jingzhi's manor to kill people to silence them?
"Mom, but Grandpa..."
"Which is more important, your grandfather's words or your father's life?"
Gu Heng glared and really wanted to slap this unfilial son to death. I have been locked up in this prison, but you still only care about what your grandfather says?
Gu Xiu: "..."
Gu Heng's words made him dumbfounded.
My grandfather is recognized by both the government and the public as a shrewd and wise man. I think what he says is right, but if I do nothing and just wait for my father's judgment, it will be too painful.
In particular, Gu Jingzhi mainly relied on Gu Yong's confession to testify against Gu Heng. If Gu Yong was gone, then the handwriting could naturally be fake. If the handwriting was fake, then the witness and the victim could also be fake.
Third Assistant Manager...
It’s not like my grandfather has no one around, right?
At that time, as long as we use the power of the family appropriately, this matter will become simple.
After hearing what Gu Heng said, the mother and son had already forgotten Song Pu's advice.
If Song Pu knew that his daughter and grandson were a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. The reason he didn't suggest silencing them was to let Gu Yong be the one to take the blame in the end.
Now, they are rushing to find someone to take the blame for their father.
Fortunately, Song Pu didn’t know about the conversation between the three members of the Gu family, otherwise Song Pu might really have given up. This Gu family... don’t they have any brains?
……
Outside the Ministry of Justice Prison, Lin Feng was monitoring the Sky Prison.
After Song Yu and his mother left, he followed them all the way to Gu's house. He did not disappear into the night until dark.
Not long after, Lin Feng returned to Gu Jingzhi's house and went straight to the study.
Gu Jingzhi, who was reading a book, heard the noise and asked directly, "Is there any news from the Gu family?"
"Yes! Cousin, today Song Yu and her son first went to the Song family, and then went to the Heavenly Prison. I watched the Gu family for the entire afternoon, and nearly thirty people went out of the Gu family! They are all skilled in martial arts."
"Oh?"
Gu Jing was stunned and blurted out subconsciously: "Is Song Pu going to kill people to silence them?"
Murder? Silencing?
Whose mouth are you trying to silence?
Lin Feng was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized something and asked, "Cousin, are you saying that the Gu family wants to silence Gu Heng?"
"Of course!"
Gu Jingzhi chuckled softly and said, "These people are really arrogant. They think any problem can be solved by killing people!"
"Uh……"
After hearing this, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
