Chapter 447: Tied up

Check the ledger.
In the past few years, the industry under the name of Master Gu has indeed increased a lot.
But these increased industries have been added one after another, scattered in various time periods.
No large amounts of unidentified industries or huge sums of money appeared on the ledger.
Of course, there is another situation where the huge sums of money that are greedy for ink are not accounted for.
Gu Jiu stared at Gu Quan, "Are you sure all the properties under the master's name are registered on the ledger?"
"Small sure."
Gu Jiu didn't give up, "Master, did he raise his room outside?"
The butler Gu Quan shook his head repeatedly, like a rattle, "Master definitely didn't raise the outer room outside. The small one can guarantee it."
Gu Jiu continued to ask, "Master, did you ever get back a large sum of gold and silver in one go?"
The steward Gu Quan asked: "I don't know if the second aunt's grandmother said a lot, how much is a lot?"
Gu Jiu snorted, "More than ten thousand taels."
Gu Quan thought for a while, "There have been two or three times. Each time it was more than ten thousand taels."
"When did this happen?"
Gu Quan said three times.
Gu Jiu frowned, time and disaster relief matched.
Is Master Gu really greedy for disaster relief food?
The butler Gu Quan obviously thought of this, and he hurriedly defended Master Gu, "If the master is really greedy for disaster relief food, he will never get back only one to two thousand taels. So much food, once sold, it is more than ten thousand or twenty thousand. , There are one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand."
Gu Jiu asked, "Where did the master hide the silver? How much did he hide secretly?"
"This this this..."
"What, this, this, what are you still hesitating about at this time? Don't you want to know whether the master is greedy for ink relief food?"
Gu Jiu's eyes stared, Gu Quan was short of breath and took out the key to open the cabinet.
Mr. Gu did not hide much cash, only two to three thousand taels.
There are a lot of silver bills, and several boxes of silver bills add up to 450,000 taels.
However, the silver bills are new and old, not like they are taken back all at once. It's more like accumulated over the years.
On this point, butler Gu Quan can also testify.
"Second-aunt grandma, you must believe that the master is innocent. The master can never extend his hand to the disaster relief food. This matter must be caused by Master Ma. Now something has happened, Master Ma has also disappeared, and it must be his refuge. Who did it, concocted the evidence to wrong the master."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Then send someone to check Master Ma. If a person is alive, even if he is missing, it is impossible to leave no trace."
"Oh, how should you investigate? Do you want to report to the official?" Gu Quan asked in a low voice.
Gu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Reporters are also OK to show innocence. I will also send someone to investigate Master Ma privately. I hope he is still alive."
"what?"
The steward Gu Quan was frightened.
Gu Jiu sneered coldly, "For such a big case, death is nothing. You are good at constraining the servants of your house, and you can't make trouble again."
"Small obey orders."
Gu Jiu left the study, planning to visit Father Gu.
Elder Gu was still drinking, but he didn't let his concubine accompany him.
He was not surprised when he saw Gu Jiu.
"I heard early in the morning that you came back for your father's business. Your father is an idiot. He has long told him to be cautious when working as a errand, but he just doesn't listen. It's a foolish idiot to treat the old man's words as deceit. "
Gu Jiu sat down at the wine table and said, "In the morning, the old man drank it. Do you want your body?"
Old man Gu laughed and said, "The old man has lived for several decades, and he has enough money. To live a life, eat and drink. How can you live this life if you can't eat and drink as much as you want. Don't worry, the old man will not die for a while. The prescription you prescribed , The old man always takes it on time."
Gu Jiu was angry, "Master, you are ruining your body."
"Don't care about the old man's body, let's go back to your father."
Gu Jiu's eyebrows moved slightly, "The old man knew that my father would have an accident?"
"Huh!" Old man Gu looked upset, "The old man reminded him when your father was promoted to the household assistant, but he didn't listen. Do you really think that the household assistant's seat is better than the capital Yin? It's really stupid."
Gu Jiu tried to ask: "From the perspective of the old man, what is the ins and outs of the father's case this time?"
Father Gu shook his head, "It's hard to tell. It's a very current period now."
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, "Father's case, is the meaning of the drunkard really in the Ning Palace?"
"It may be, it may not be." Mr. Gu said vaguely.
Gu Jiu was worried, "So it's me who hurt my father."
Elder Gu shook his head repeatedly, "You can't think like that. Your father is destined to have such a catastrophe, so he will use his means, not this year or next year, and sooner or later he will smash his head.
It's okay to stumble now, your father's case won't decide the crown prince. If your Majesty really picked King Ning, he would not change his mind just because of your father's case. In the same way, if your Majesty did not choose King Ning, he would not re-elect King Ning just because your father was law-abiding. "
Gu Jiu nodded, this is the reason.
"I can't be sure who is calculating all of this behind the scenes. I feel that it is possible for anyone. Knowing that his father's case can't hinder King Ning and Young Master Zhao, it happened to come again like this. It's weird. Could it be directed at me? Go to the project outside the South Car Gate?"
Elder Gu reminded: "Since you feel this is strange, you must be careful. Be cautious in everything."
"I listen to the old man, he must take care of his body."
Elder Gu waved his hand and didn't care at all, "Don't worry, the old man is not yet dead."
Gu Jiu said: "The people in the mansion are worried, and the wife is not up to the matter at all. It is all up to the Hu's sister-in-law. When necessary, the old man should also stand up and be sure."
Father Gu laughed and said, "Not as serious as you think. Dafang's family is okay. If there is no accident in Dafang, the house will not be messy. Don't worry about it."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I will arrange for someone to investigate the disappearance of Master Ma. I will send someone to tell me when I get the news."
"Go, go. You are all busy people, don't waste time with the old man."
Gu Jiu reminded Mr. Gu to take care of his body again before getting up and leaving.
Gu Shan and Hu sent her out together.
Hu said: "Your sixth brother went to Dali Temple to visit his master. It's time to come back to see the time. Second aunt's grandmother might as well stay for lunch and wait for your sixth brother to return."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "No! I have to go back to the palace to arrange the next thing. Sister-in-law and the fourth sister, don't worry, your father's affairs seem dangerous and will be resolved sooner or later. Soon my father will be able to return home safely."
"Really?" Gu Shan cried with joy, "Thank you second sister, that's great."
No wonder Gu Shan is so excited.
She and the second-hand concubine of the Zhuguo Gongfu have made a marriage, and the wedding will be next spring.
Master Gu goes to jail, if she is convicted, she is afraid that this marriage will fail.
Starting from yesterday, she wanted to comfort the collapsed Xie, while worrying about Master Gu and her own marriage.
One night there was a fire bubble in my mouth, and the fire was burning with pain.
Others comforted her with ten and a hundred sentences, saying that Master Gu would definitely return safely, and they couldn't compare to Gu Jiu's comforting sentence.
Gu Jiu took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears for Gu Shan, "Sister four, don't cry, everything will be fine. Please ask my sister-in-law in the palace."
"I should do it all. My second aunt's hard-working grandmother took a trip and didn't eat any food. I really can't afford it.
"Sister-in-law, don't be polite with me. After this time is over, I will come to the banquet of sister-in-law.
"That's a deal."
Gu Jiu got on the carriage at the second gate and set off for the palace.
Wake up early in the morning, and until now, Gu Jiu is a little groggy.
Coupled with the sway of the carriage, Gu Jiu was a little drowsy.
The carriage passed through the lively market, listening to the noise outside the carriage, Gu Jiu had no idea what tonight.
"Shocking horse! Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, a roar burst in the ear, deafening.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage speeded up, shaking left and right.
Gu Jiu instantly woke up from his drowsiness.
"Madam, hold on, the horse is frightened."
Xu Yousi's voice came from outside, and there was the panting of the coachman.
Gu Jiu clutched the frame tightly and hit her body all at once, killing her in pain.
Qingmei yelled twice, hit her head on the car, and passed out.
Outside the carriage, crying, shouting, screaming, panicking...
The whole market was completely messed up because of the sudden appearance of a horse.
The ground shakes.
Like an earthquake.
Dozens of startled horses ran wildly in the market, causing chaos like purgatory on earth.
Gu Jiu was frightened.
How could there be so many startled horses in the capital market? It happened that she was on the way back to the palace.
Although she did not want to make this guess, it was clear that it was aimed at her.
These shocking horses were all directed at her.
The screams of people have gone.
The carriage has left the market, and is rushing out of the city.
The carriage was too fast, and an obstacle caused the carriage to crash.
The carriage overturned, and the horse fell to the ground and was wailing.
Gu Jiu's eyes were blurred, and her sight was blocked.
Something, warm and sticky.
Wiping his face, is it bleeding?
Many people rushed towards the carriage.
who is it?
Who is the person here?
Gu Jiu tried to open his eyes wide, trying to remember this picture.
However, the memory was finally fixed on a pair of leather boots. When she tried to look up along the boots, her body could no longer support her, and she passed out completely.
...
Martial law was imposed in the capital, and there were no pedestrians on the road after the evening.
Only Xiuyiwei and Wucheng Soldiers and Masi patrolled the sub-regions to ensure security in the capital.
Somewhere in the south of the city, the innermost is a small house, which looks very inconspicuous.
Only when I walked in and passed through the back door did I find that this building had a cave.
Gu Jiu was dizzy and seemed to be awake, but he couldn't open his eyes, and he was confused.
As if someone was talking in the ear.
"Be sure to cure her! If there is a problem, you will all know the consequences."
"Don't worry, the madam is just traumatic."
"...Wake her up as soon as possible."
"Why doesn't she wake up yet?"
Who is it, who is speaking in her ear.
Is it Liu Zhao?
Why didn't I hear Yu Ge'er's cry.
Yu Ge'er likes to cry so much, she must be unavoidable.
One morning, sunlight passed through the window and fell into the bedroom.
Countless dust flew under the light.
Gu Jiu finally woke up.
She didn't move or opened her eyes, she pretended that she was still in a coma, even her breathing remained the same.
It may be difficult for others to pretend to be unconscious.
For Gu Jiu, who used the hospital as her home in her previous life, pretending to be unconscious is simply her talent. She recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first.
She kept a long breath, felt the movement around her, and made sure that there was no other person in the room before she opened her eyes.
This is not a palace!
At first glance, she judged that this was not any place she was familiar with.
However, the layout of this bedroom was even more luxurious than her bedroom in the palace.
On the ground, there are authentic Persian carpets worth a lot of money.
On the wall, there are paintings left by everyone thousands of years ago.
The incense burner is made of antiques from the previous dynasty, maybe it is a gift from the gods.
Even the bed on which she lay is of great craftsmanship. The exquisite carvings are really rare.
Not to mention gauze accounts, fur quilts, all of which are rare and valuable.
Did she go to the den of the nouveau riche?
If she was not sure that the body was still her own, she thought she had crossed again.
Crunch!
The door opened from the outside.
Gu Jiu lay motionless, closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
The door opened, and more sunlight came in, with a hint of warmth.
Who is here?
The steps on the carpet are very light, but very decisive.
The visitor stood in front of the bed and stared at her.
She suddenly felt as if she was being spotted by a poisonous snake.
This is a man.
The strong masculine breath makes it impossible to ignore.
"Since Madam is awake, why doesn't she open her eyes? Madam has been in a coma for so many days, isn't she hungry?"
Was discovered.
Gu Jiu opened his eyes and looked at the incoming person, "It turned out to be you!"
