Chapter twenty five
Seeing that Chen Ju was a little hesitant, Guo Zhiyuan took the courage to pretend to be upright and said, "The factory is worried that the boy will anger the emperor by talking nonsense. The factory can rest assured. The boy is not a fool. Don't you know that the emperor is going to be beheaded? If the boy just wants to clear my father's grievances, he just needs to ask the factory princess to hold three trials tomorrow. Is my father wronged and determined to see the emperor? Why should I take this risk to meet the emperor? Because this demon book case has been delayed for one day, it will hurt my Ming Dynasty more. If I can retain some vitality for my Ming Dynasty, why should I cherish this life!..."
Chen Ju was really moved. Guo Zhiyuan could risk his head to face the saint for the truth of the demon book case. So what if he had to do with him? He trembled with excitement and pointed Guo Zhiyuan loudly: "Okay! What a pity for this life! If all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty have the mind of yours, why worry about my Ming Dynasty not going up! Just for your innocent heart, the family will help you this time! Tomorrow afternoon, the Emperor of Life will convene important officials in the court in Qixiang Palace to discuss the case of the demon book. I will ask Emperor of Life to summon you to the palace to meet the saint tomorrow. As for whether you can seize the opportunity, it depends on yourself!..."
Seeing Chen Ju so excited, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel ashamed of fooling him into thinking that respectable old man. The reason why he took the risk to meet Sheng was naturally not because of the righteous reasons he mentioned earlier, but because of a reason.
Although he was ready to use Feng Shengguang as a scapegoat to cover up the truth of the evil book case, how to hinder the investigator's eyes at this scapegoat without any trace is a problem. In history, Feng Shengguang was arrested for more than ten days. At that time, Guo Zhengyu had been beaten to the point of being different from human beings, and the Donglin Party members were almost hit and were seriously injured. Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan robbed time because he was not trying to change history, but promoted history.
At this time, some readers must have said that he would tell Chen Ju directly, wouldn’t it be together to ask Chen Ju to search for Feng Shengguang’s home? But don’t forget that people have preconceived ideas. If Guo Zhiyuan directly told Chen Ju that Feng Shengguang was the culprit of the demon book case, you can arrest him. Chen Ju would definitely think that this must be a trick you, a kid. Even if Chen Ju believes it, Shen Yiguan and others will definitely not believe it. They have to make a big fuss. After such trouble, time has been delayed, so Guo Zhiyuan had to go directly to meet Wanli and convince this big boss. Even if others are suspicious, they would not dare to say anything else. So this is the most direct and effective way.
In addition, Guo Zhiyuan has a selfish feeling, that is, since he has traveled to this era, he naturally needs to make some achievements. Wanli has been in power for nearly twenty years. Whether he can make a fortune in this era depends largely on how this big boss has the impression of him. He can take this opportunity to show his face and make a name for him. In the future, it will be much easier to get along. If you seek wealth and honor in danger, Guo Zhiyuan naturally wants to have a chance.
Although he had his own little Jiujiu, Guo Zhiyuan sincerely respected Chen Ju at this time, bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you, the factory owner, to fulfill his wishes! You will never let the factory owner down!"
Chen Ju looked at Guo Zhiyuan with relief and waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow, the Miscellaneous Family will preside over the three trials, but it cannot be taken care of. You should act carefully. Long live the anger. Even the Miscellaneous Family cannot protect you. You can wait at home tomorrow. If the Master is accurate, the Miscellaneous Family will send someone to call you into the palace to meet the Majesty. You go down first..."
As soon as Guo Zhiyuan left, Li Ying immediately came out and hurriedly said to Chen Ju: "Does the factory really believe that child's sweet words? You must not!"
"Shut up! I have my own sense of responsibility!" Chen Ju shouted fiercely, Li Ying was so scared that his legs shook, he knelt down quickly, and said repeatedly: "The factory owner forgives his crimes, the factory owner forgives his crimes!" Chen Ju then glanced at Li Ying with his squint eyes and said quietly: "Li Ying, you have been by the Za Family for more than ten years, Za Family treats you like a father and son. Do you think you have been to Concubine Zheng's palace frequently recently? Za Family has not been confused yet! Za Family is old, you have your thoughts, I don't blame you..."
Speaking of this, Chen Ju suddenly changed his tone and said in a stern manner: "But if you miss the news about today, don't blame me for not being missed with the old love!"
Li Ying's body trembled, and he didn't dare to argue, but his head was like pounding garlic, and he pounded on the ground, saying tremblingly: "Damn the little one! Damn the little one!" Until his head was bleeding, Chen Ju waved his hand gently and said: "Forget it, I've been serving the family for many years, and I'll leave this time. If there is another next time, I'll peel your skin carefully! I'm tired, so you can step down first..."
Guo Zhiyuan didn't fall asleep all night, and tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about how to deal with the Wanli Emperor tomorrow. He got up early the next morning, paced in the yard anxiously, and sent Wang Xi to the entrance of the alley to guard him, so that he would come back to report when he saw someone from the palace. After all, this was going to see the emperor, and it would be fake to say that he was not nervous.
"Here, here!" Wang Xi finally ran in panting. Guo Zhiyuan was happy and quickly tidied up his clothes to greet him. It was Zhang Cheng who came. Guo Zhiyuan was disappointed and glared at Wang Xi, the rash ghost, but he was not easy to show his face to Zhang Cheng. After all, Zhang Cheng was doing his best to help him with his business. He patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, come into the house first to have a tea break before talking..."
Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Zhiyuan with contempt. Guo Zhiyuan didn't ask whether the matter was done or not, but asked him to go in and have a tea break first. There were not many masters who were polite to the servants. It seemed that he was really following the right person. He quickly waved his hand and said, "It is a blessing for villains to be able to do things for the young master. How can he work hard? Fortunately, he has not been humiliated and things have been done properly..."
It turned out that Zhang Cheng, as Guo Zhiyuan's instructions, collected some evidence of the extortion of others by Xu Shengguang, and found several dilapidated houses to scare Xu Shengguang. Xu Shengguang was so scared that he fled from the capital with his family overnight. At this time, he should have escaped from Tongzhou. Zhang Cheng made some arrangements at Xu Shengguang's home and then came back to repay Guo Zhiyuan.
This was the first good news Guo Zhiyuan heard today. He praised Zhang Cheng and gave him another fifty taels of silver bills, asking him to go back and rest first. He waited for several hours in anxiety. These hours were too difficult. Guo Zhiyuan was almost crazy when he waited. Did Emperor Wanli not agree to Chen Ju's request and did not want to see him, an unknown man, and his wishful thinking would be completely lost!
