Chapter 41 Don't eat soft
Gu You found that his movements had been restricted overnight. He used to be able to walk around Southern Wu Prefecture and even go to other counties just by saying hello. However, now there are four sergeants guarding him outside the guest room where he lives at any time and anywhere.
A trip to Shuangfeng Town has become a luxury.
In the past two months, Liu Xuanji or Taoist Priest Yuan would come to see him if someone informed him, but now it is difficult to even meet them.
He panicked and realized that things might have happened again, but he had no way of knowing what changes had taken place outside.
Facing the four sergeants who were guarding him, he yelled, threatened, tempted, and even begged, but to no avail. He was just four pieces of wood and couldn't even say a word.
He was put under house arrest in a guest room until the end of June when an old acquaintance and former boss, Yang Jian, the former judge of Jiedu Prefecture, arrived.
Yang Jian looked at Gu You, but Gu You showed no signs of weakness and kept cheering him up. In turn, he glared at Yang Jian: "You defected to Nanwu Prefecture?"
Yang Jiandao: "The imperial court dismissed me from my official position without any reason, and still doesn't allow me to find another job? You don't understand my affairs, and you don't need to discuss it here. Tell me, do you know what's going on outside?"
Gu You snorted and didn't answer.
Yang Jiandao: "Duan Yinsheng, the leader of the Black Mountain Kingdom, failed to retreat last month and passed away."
Gu You sneered: "That's good news!"
Yang Jiandao: "It is indeed good news for Jiedu Mansion. Xian Yuxiang has been hesitant to wait and see. That's why. Now that Duan Yinsheng has passed away, Xian Yuxiang's biggest fear is gone. He is already ready to make a move, but when he makes a move
, but did not consider your safety, and you became an outcast."
Gu You turned around and said, "Are the traitors and traitors also here to be lobbyists?"
Yang Jiandao: "You say that I am a rebellious minister, but I say that Yang Zhao and Xian Yuxiang are a treacherous minister who has brought harm to the country. He is ruthlessly plundering for the sake of flattery. And if you join the army, you are an accomplice who destroys the people."
Gu You glared at Yang Jian, and after a moment he said, "You can use your words as much as you like. I'm in your hands now. You can kill or cut him into pieces as you please!"
Yang Jandao: "Since I came to see you, I want to tell you that you have a way to survive now, and it depends on whether you are willing to take it. I'm afraid you don't know how many people in Nanwu Prefecture want to kill you. Why? Because you want to start from
Everyone is taking money out of their pockets. I might as well tell you frankly that Yang once suggested to Chang Shi that in order to calm the public anger, he should lend you your head, but Chang Shi did not adopt it."
Gu You said disdainfully: "You didn't adopt it? Then why should I be detained here?"
Yang Jandao: "That's to save your life!"
Gu You still sneered: "If that's the case, why don't you let me go?"
Yang Jandao: "Duan Yin is alive and dead, Xianyu Xiang has become more and more unscrupulous. He captured our people in Yizhou..."
Gu You laughed and said, "It's so satisfying!"
Yang Jiandao: "...Originally we wanted to trade you with Xian Yuxiang, but your benefactor refused, leaving no room for us."
Gu You's breath stagnated, and then he said: "You are just talking nonsense, but it is so difficult for me to believe it!"
Yang Jandao: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Xian Yuxiang said that you were an official of the imperial court. He thought that we really didn't dare to kill you, so after catching our people, he felt like he had found a treasure and wanted to blackmail us for it.
Is this something Tangtang Jiedu did? This is a bandit!"
Gu Youdao: "Jiedu is right. Killing me is an open rebellion. I'll give you a hundred thousand courages, but you can't even lay a finger on me! As for your captors - do you have any reason to argue with the rebellious officials and traitors?
?Don’t even think about trading me for someone else, Jiedu did the right thing, trading me, Gu You, for a thief, that would be a humiliation for me!”
The room suddenly became silent. After a long time, Yang Jianfang said: "I never realized before that you, Gu Canjun, have such great strengths. You are indeed respectable and worthy. There are indeed very few people like you. It would be a pity to kill them. Why not, you
Promise one thing and we'll let you go, how about that?"
Gu You looked at Yang Jian without saying anything, and Yang Jian said: "I know that you have an irreversible friendship with Sun Muyou of Jiedu Mansion. We are going to send people to Yizhou to rescue the trapped people. Write a letter to Sun Muyou and let him know.
He is so cooperative, once you are rescued, we will let you go..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu You looked up to the sky and smiled: "Haha, Yang, you really look down on Gu. Are you asking Gu to harm your friends for yourself? It's just wishful thinking!"
Yang Jian's face immediately darkened: "Do you really want to die?"
Gu You said: "I join the army from Zizhou and am an official of the imperial court. You try to kill one of them!"
Faced with this kind of meat, Yang Jian had nothing to do. With a wave of his hand, several sergeants came in and tied up Gu You. Gu You still wanted to struggle, but he had not yet broken through the golden elixir, and was casually taken care of by Yang Jian, who was in the late golden elixir stage.
At one point, without moving a single inch, he was taken to the judicial prison.
Yang Jian came to see Gu Zuo, told Gu Zuo what had happened, and sighed: "I didn't expect that this person actually doesn't eat soft food. I can only try hard food to see if he can eat it. Chang Shi gives the order."
Gu Zuo nodded and told Liu Xuanji next to him: "You, the judge, give it a try."
Liu Xuanji did not dare to say anything and went down immediately. The relevant torture instruments had been prepared long ago. They were originally intended to be used to deal with those people in Lingnan who were not convinced of the "Wang Transformation" of Huaixian Pavilion. However, they were not used, but they were launched today.
Seeing that Gu Zuo's face was not good, Yang Jian comforted him: "No one would have thought that we had already ordered that Yizhou is a place of disputes and monks from the Huaixian Pavilion are not allowed to go there. Who knew that Shen Hongfu would go there privately just to give Lingyuan
Regarding Taoist Priest's purchase of gold sand...Taoist Priest Lingyuan has rushed to Zhongnan Mountain and plans to ask the Chongxuan Department to come forward. I believe there will be good news."
Gu Zuo shook his head and said: "Xianyu Xiang didn't even see Taoist Master Lingyuan come to the door in person. He made it clear that if he didn't give accommodation, Fellow Daoist Shen would be in danger! You don't know that Chongxuan Department is so pissy right now. Fellow Daoist Shen is not from Chongxuan Department after all.
, they are still talking about whether they care or not... We can’t wait any longer, we have to take action and save people immediately! Let Mr. Luo come quickly!"
Luo Jun came in response to the call, and Gu Zuo asked: "How are you preparing?"
Luo Jundao: "Yang Sanfa and Xue Dingtu took the initiative to ask for a fight. I personally led the team, and Lu Ban and Yin Shu led others to respond."
Gu Zuodao: "I'm afraid you alone won't be enough. If Li Mi and He Luguang show up, you won't be able to stop them. Where is Taoist Kusang?"
Luo Jun said: "You still need to ask about that guy? He's in Dongxi."
Gu Zuodao said: "Take him with you and support him at the critical moment. He is a man who can fight with Lishui Sanniang for an hour."
Luo Jun nodded: "After we find Kusang, we will set off."
Gu Zuo warned: "Leave quietly at night. Before that, it would be best if you can get Gu You's letter. If you can't get it..."
