Chapter 2 The Demon Book Case

Although he was very anxious, Guo Zhiyuan seemed very calm on the surface. He bowed to the crying female relatives and bowed slightly and said, "I have frightened my aunts. If I have me at home, I will definitely rescue my father. Please feel relieved..." As he said that, he turned around and said sternly to Wang Xi behind him: "Wang Xi, why don't you invite some aunts to go back to your room to rest!" Wang Xi responded and trotted away with the crying female relatives.

As soon as several crying female relatives left, the chaotic scene finally calmed down. Guo Zhiyuan nodded to Guo Jingzhong and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhong, come with me to the study!" After that, he strode towards the inner courtyard.

Guo Jingzhong was still a little stunned for a moment, and was really unbelievable about Guo Zhiyuan's sudden change. He was calm and decisive in his actions, and in a moment he turned into a crisis of home. Is this the foolish young master the past? Moreover, Guo Zhiyuan always called him "old dog". When did he become so polite? Guo Jingzhong shook his head hard and murmured to himself: "Why did the young master suddenly change his sexual desire? Is it really God opened his eyes? If the master knew, how happy he should be!..." He hurriedly chased after him.

While walking, Guo Zhiyuan was thinking hard about how to save his father. He was familiar with history and naturally knew how difficult this "demon book case" was. The "demon book case" was known in history as one of the four strange cases of the Ming Dynasty. It originated from a book "Continuing Worry and Dangers". Because it disclosed that Emperor Wanli's favorite Concubine Zheng planned to contact the cabinet chief Shen Yiguan and other dozen important officials in the court, attempting to depose the crown prince, it was called "demon book". The appearance of this book made Emperor Wanli, who had already wanted to change the crown prince but had to give up because of the strong opposition of the Chinese official group of the court, was very angry and ordered the Dongchang, Jinyiwei and the Five City Police Office to search for the initiator of the "demon book" in the city. The people involved in the case were in great trouble, making everyone inside and outside the court, for fear of being involved.

To put it bluntly, the "Demon Book Case" is a party struggle between various factions in the court for the position of crown prince. Such major events involving the throne are taboos in any dynasty. If involved, it will be a life-threatening death. It is not easy to save your cheap father!

Guo Zhiyuan grabbed his hair hard, and whenever he encountered something difficult, he would involuntarily make this move. After some calm thinking, Guo Zhiyuan also clarified some clues. For the sake of the current plan, he would go to prison to see the situation of his cheap father. The Jinyiwei's prison is so dark that everyone knows. If the cheap father has been tortured until he dies, everything will be done.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly turned his head suddenly and said to Guo Jingzhong anxiously: "Uncle Zhong, you have always been in charge of the property in the family. How much money is there at hand now?..."

Guo Jingzhong felt a little nervous when he heard this. This young master shouldn't have been cute again. At this time, he still wanted money to spend money, so he hurriedly covered his wallet and said vigilantly: "Young master, what the master has told me, I can't give you money at will..."

Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that his credit was extremely poor before. He hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhong, you misunderstood. Now that my father is in prison, I naturally have to save him. You also know the reason why having money can make the devil push. If I want to save my father, I naturally need to take care of it. How can I have no money? And if my father can't get it out, his money will definitely be left to me, but if my father can't get it out, what's the use of me if I want money?……………”

Guo Jingzhong's expression was slightly cleared, and hesitated to take out a few wrinkled silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Guo Zhiyuan. Guo Zhiyuan pointed at it, and there were only more than 900 taels of silver notes in total, then frowned and said, "Is this the only one?..."

"The master has always been honest and the mansion has a lot of expenses. Now there is only so much cash you can afford. Then there are real estate such as land deeds, land deeds, etc...." Guo Jingzhong said with a bitter face.

Guo Zhiyuan nodded. It seemed that his cheap father was indeed honest. You should know that in the modern era before he traveled through time, those senior officials at the deputy ministerial level who were investigated and punished had embezzled money for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. This also made Guo Zhiyuan feel a little more respect for his cheap father. He nodded, folded the silver notes and put them in his arms, and explained to Guo Jingzhong a few words, asking him to take care of his family affairs, and then he made a big move out.

Guo Zhiyuan has no idea about how to rescue Guo Zhengyu. Guo Zhengyu must have been wronged, but the "demon book case" is a mystery, and the historical books do not mention who was the initiator of this "demon book case". Therefore, although Guo Zhiyuan has the advantage of time travel, he could not think of any clever plan for a while. The most urgent thing is to visit Guo Zhengyu first, confirm that he is not in danger of his life, and then slowly think of a solution.

Prisons have been the most gloomy place since ancient times. The high blue-gray prison walls and the thick black prison gate with iron edges all give people an extremely depressing feeling, especially the golden pattern with vivid fangs on the door that seemed to be trying to choose someone, which made people even more shocking!

Before Guo Zhiyuan could approach, the two guards at the door pointed at him fiercely and shouted sternly: "Stop! This is the main prison area, and idle people avoid it!".

Guo Zhiyuan knew the reason why the King of Hell was easy to find and the little ghost was difficult to deal with. He walked over calmly and bowed to one of the prison guards who looked like a prisoner and said with a grudge: "Sir, I'm here to visit my father, please let me do it for convenience!"

The prison head was just a minor official who didn't even have the grade. He was not qualified to be called "Master", but who doesn't like to be praised? Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan's "Master" made the prison head really enjoy, and his face cleared a little. However, he naturally could not have pretended to be dissatisfied with Guo Zhiyuan's "Master" and still looked stern, and scolded: "The people here are all serious offenders in the court, so how can you see them whenever you want? If you don't leave, I will arrest you together!..."

However, the careful Guo Zhiyuan noticed that the head's fingers were rubbed slightly twice, and immediately understood. He took out a silver note from his arms and covered it with his hands and quietly stuffed it into the head's hand. The head glanced at it quickly, and when he rolled it in a roll of it like a magic trick, the silver note disappeared. It seemed that he was a veteran who collected black money.

After collecting the money, the prison head's face finally looked a little better, and he said in a long tone: "It's not easy to see your filial piety. What's your father's name?"

Guo Zhiyuan reported Guo Zhengyu's name, and the prisoner's expression changed. He pressed the sword on his waist and pointed at Guo Zhiyuan and shouted: "Guo Zhengyu is an important criminal in the "Demon Book Case". The boss specifically told me that no one is allowed to visit! You leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!..."
