In the next few days, experts affiliated with the Golden Abacus Bank were wandering around Gu Ming's house. They suspected that Gu Ming had hidden Pipi from the underworld. However, according to the investigation, Gu Ming did not hide Pipi, but instead hid it in the inner room. Got a yellow flower girl.
From the perspective of changing identities, the scholar who has been in prison should have never touched any girl's house. Gu Ming's wife and concubine are both middle-aged women. It is reasonable for Gu Ming, who has just changed his identity, to behave this way.
Xiaoqing informed the banker about Gu Ming's identity. Therefore, Yinke just lets the experts wander outside without taking any actual action
That day, Pippi was slightly injured by Zhongshan. When he ran away to a dead end, he saw a girl, so he and the girl changed their identities, and then fled to Gu Ming to recuperate.
Because of his identity, Gu Ming has been protecting Pippi and helping Pippi make arrangements. In the near future, there will be a surprise attack on Chang'an in the underworld. Under that surprise attack, the underworld will rescue Zhu Wu, the credit swordsman, and will go on a killing spree in Chang'an to warn the royal family that the affairs of the Jianghu must be decided by the Jianghu people themselves. If the royal family wants to participate, the whole country will be affected. People are bound to be panicked
Mrs. Gu heard outside that her husband Gu Ming was hiding a young girl at home, and couldn't help but come to persuade Gu Ming. She said hesitantly: "If your husband likes young women, just marry them back as a concubine. Why do you need to sneak around and leave her alone?" What's the reason? You are now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a third-rank official. It is disrespectful to the state and disrespectful to be laughed at for something like this."
Gu Ming looked at his wife, with a kind look on his face, and said seriously: "I have wives who are already the happiest people in the world, how can they do such boring things."
"But¡¡"
"There is a thief hiding in the backyard, and I am dealing with him. Madam, please don't ask, it is a state matter."
Mrs. Gu was shocked. Every time when state affairs were involved, a woman's intervention would inevitably arouse Gu Ming's thunderous wrath. But this time, Gu Ming's face turned out to be gentle, and his tone was as gentle and considerate as when they first met, as if he was a different person.
"My husband has changed."
"Is it getting better or worse?"
"It's getting better."
"Hahaha!" Gu Ming laughed happily: "That's not very good. In the future, I will be in charge of the household department and manage the world's wealth. I am determined to be a good official. A good official is naturally a good person. A good person is of course He is a good husband and a good father.¡±
Mrs. Gu was shocked. Gu Ming had spent a lot of money to achieve the position of Minister of Household Affairs. He would naturally make money like Feng Xueyan. How could he be motivated to be a good official?
A few days ago, he was still in the land of flowers and willows, entertaining his colleagues and did not return for several days.
It¡¯s only been a few days, is he going to be a good husband?
Mrs. Gu couldn't figure it out, but she couldn't contradict her husband. She saluted, but was stopped by Gu Ming when she was about to leave. Gu Ming handed a piece of paper to Mrs. Gu and said softly: "Madam suffered from cold during childbirth, every day During the rainy season, the joints of the limbs are bound to hurt. Yesterday, I happened to be traveling with the royal physician and asked for a prescription. You can find someone to take the medicine to see if it can alleviate the old disease."
"Gu Ming has not been to the fourth lady's room since she came in, let alone greeted her. The wife was so moved by such a change that she cried.
Gu Ming saw Mrs. Gu with tears in her eyes, walked over and took her into his arms.
"I will be a good husband in the future. By the way, the fourth lady came to me specifically a few days ago to say bad things and mentioned some disgraceful things about her natal family. Keeping such a woman in the Gu family will be a disaster after all. I am writing a letter of enshrinement. You do the rest.¡±
"Yes, husband."
"Stay back, I'm going to the backyard to conduct state affairs."
Gu Ming came to the backyard and saw Pippi hiding here. Pippi¡¯s face was in tatters, her body was rotten in many places, and the smell was terrible.
"Why doesn't the prescription work? Why can't I recover?"
Pipi shouted angrily, and Gu Ming spread his hands: "You are the best doctor, the best doctor. You asked me to get the prescription. After the medicine was brought back, you also checked it yourself. Why didn't it work?" , then you have to guess.¡±
Pippi is not an idiot. When he heard these words, he knew that things had changed. Gu Ming, who was complimenting him, changed his tone, so Pippi said sharply: "Don't forget, you are not the real Gu Ming. It was I who made you become Gu Ming. Since I can turn you into Gu Ming, I can also turn you into Gu Ming." Take you back."
"I know, but I really want to be this Gu Ming for the rest of my life, an upright official who will be remembered for generations, and a good husband. When I was a scholar, I was talented, but I was lonely. My parents died young. I came to Kyoto with my second uncle on my back. , after many hardships, finallyI ended up with such a tragic end. I was in pain and cried all my tears. Now that God has given me a second chance, I will not give up. "
"In that case, then you just listen to me."
"I used to think so, but you treated me as a tool and asked me to help you arrange the rebellion. You acted unscrupulously and then turned around and left. And I, even if I am still Gu Ming, after this incident, I If you still commit the crime of killing the nine tribes, your head will fall off."
"I can change your identity for you."
"No, I like this Gu family. They have a wife, a child, a concubine, servants who respect me, and a space where I can display my talents. I don't want to be someone else anymore. So, I thought of a better way. "
"What?"
"If I kill you, I will always be Gu Ming."
"Even if I am extremely weak, I will not die in the hands of a powerless scholar like you."
"No, don't underestimate a scholar, and don't underestimate knowledge. When I was in prison, I always thought viciously, if I get out, how could I kill Gu Ming? The only way is to poison, and direct poisoning is the worst policy. Combining multiple parties and letting the poison invade unknowingly is the best strategy, don¡¯t get dizzy, just listen to what I have to say.¡±
Pippi understood that incense, food, and the spices that Gu Ming gave him to mask the smell, combined with his medicine, turned into poison.
"These poisons are for literati. If you are not injured, they will definitely be harmless to you. You were injured because God gave me a chance. Alas, I still haven't heard the end. This is the last time I will be a bad person. From now on, I am a good official, a good husband, and a good father. I will live forever and let future generations remember my name and my achievements. It doesn¡¯t matter what my previous name was. My dream will continue. That¡¯s enough. I really want to Share these feelings with you seriously, after all, you are the only one who knows that I am not Gu Ming. Alas, farewell, my benefactor."
After Gu Ming came out, he lit the house with fire. The fire burned bigger and bigger. The servants came in panic, but Gu Ming was very calm and said seriously: "There is no wind today. If we dig ditches around the fire, we can't burn the house." It will be extinguished naturally after it is completely burned. When cleaning up, if there are any bones, crush them and scatter them with the wind!"
Who is in the fire? Gu Ming didn't say anything, and the servants didn't dare to ask.
This fire burned one person to death, but also reborn another person. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
