The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 873
"It's thanks to the fisherman this time, otherwise you were injured, and I don't know if you would be able to swim to the shore. Besides, even if you can swim to the shore, those people will not let us go."

Gu Chengyu sighed, this time it was really dangerous.Although I have good martial arts skills, I can't beat four hands with two fists. There are too many people, and I will always be exhausted and careless.

"You don't really plan to take this boat back to the capital, do you?" Lu Chen looked at the vast river, and he also felt lucky to survive the catastrophe.

They have changed two boats before, each of which is a small fishing boat, and it is very embarrassing to stay in such a small place.

In addition, he was injured and fell into the water before, so he was already uncomfortable.I had a high fever a while ago, but today it has subsided a little.

It's just that he's been throwing up since morning.At present, the body has not fully recovered, and even seasickness has come to the door.

"Haven't you had enough of the fishing boats? I can't bear it."

The three of them huddled in the small fishing boat. When they boarded the fishing boat in front, the fisherman had caught a lot of fish.

The fishy smell almost fainted them, and even Gu Chengyu couldn't take it anymore.

"There are times when you can't stand it, and I thought you were happy with it!"

When Lu Chen heard that he finally didn't need to huddle in the fishing boat anymore, he was relieved.

He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, but it's not that he can't bear hardships.It's just that this time is different after all, they have narrowly escaped death in the past few days, and he has also suffered a lot.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Lu Chen's fair and generous back, and silently looked away.

"If you weren't too aggressive, we wouldn't have to go back to the capital in such a desperate manner."

They got Liao Cheng's criminal evidence from Qu Huaiyun before, but they didn't expect it to be a big fish.

There are many merchants and officials who are closely related to Liao Cheng, including two high-ranking officials in the capital.

Gu Chengyu felt that this matter was no small matter, even if Lu Chen had officials of the same line in Hejian Mansion, those people's grades were no higher than Liao Cheng's.

Lu Chen is indeed from Zhan Yuanhou's mansion, but the power of Zhan Yuanhou's mansion is far away in the capital, beyond his reach!

Gu Chengyu felt that this was a big matter, and there were too many people involved, and it would definitely be difficult to handle it with them alone.

It would be better to write a letter back to the capital to move the rescuers. In this way, although his contribution is smaller, it is the safest way.

After all, he didn't come to Hejian Mansion for these things, he was afraid that the emperor would think that his hand was stretched too far.

If the ability grows too fast, the emperor will become more suspicious.

If it is writing a memorial, I am afraid that those old and cunning people will stop it before it reaches the emperor's hands.

Gu Chengyu felt that when he returned to the capital this time, he must persuade the emperor to implement the secret book immediately.

In this way, if such a thing happens again in the future, he can ask the emperor for instructions.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen was a little impatient. He felt that if Liao Cheng was not captured first, it might be too late in a few days.

In order to follow the clues, Lu Chen carried Gu Chengyu behind his back, and officials from the same line as the Hejian Mansion began to plan, and Gu Chengyu knew about it.

But he didn't expect that Lu Chen would not listen to his advice at all, and wanted to cooperate with Hejian Mansion to judge Yi Lanting and the forces behind him, and take Liao Cheng down first.

How sensitive are those officials' noses?As soon as they realized something was wrong, they immediately attacked Lu Chen in order to save their own lives.

He and Lu Chen came to Hejian Mansion together, so they naturally became the targets of those people.

"If I don't arrest Liao Cheng first, Xia Shoufu will definitely finish Liao Cheng before us."

Lu Chen was a little unconvinced, Liao Cheng was very important.This person has a fairly close relationship with Xia Qing, especially in the past two years, Liao Cheng has done a lot of things for Xia Qing.

Gu Chengyu sneered, "Do you still think that Liao Cheng is really on the same side as Xia Qing?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid he has already voted for Mingzhu, but this is just my guess."

Gu Chengyu waved his hand, he said so, but in his heart he believed that Liao Cheng must have taken refuge in some prince.

Of course, Gu Chengyu thought so after some analysis.

If it was really for Xia Qing, then Liao Cheng couldn't be so high-profile.

And Qu's is his ally, but Liao Cheng regards Qu's as a stepping stone, which shows that Liao Cheng has two hearts.

Liao Cheng bore Xia Qing's name, but secretly worked for the prince.

If this matter came back to Xia Qing's ears, Xia Qing would probably be the first to not let Liao Cheng go.

So he has already written to ask Ming Yan to send it back to the capital, and the only person he can rely on at the moment is the elder brother.

As long as this matter is disclosed to Xia Qing, with Xia Qing's temperament, he will definitely intervene in this matter.

Liao Cheng betrayed him, how could he swallow this breath?

He also asked his elder brother to report this matter to the emperor, as long as the emperor sends someone to investigate thoroughly, this matter will definitely bring him benefits.

Maybe Xia Qing could be involved, even if he couldn't do anything about Xia Qing, he would still be willing to add some obstacles to Xia Qing.

Besides, he still has some of the evidence in his hands.He had picked and picked a part of it for Ming Mo to bring back to the capital together. For him, the purpose of this matter had been achieved, so it should stop here.

He will not intervene in the future, and the emperor will not allow him to intervene.

Of course, Lu Chen also had some evidence in his hands.As for who he will hand it over to, that's not what Gu Chengyu cares about.

He had agreed with Lu Chen at the time that each of them would get half of it, and no one could take the credit from the other.

Lu Chen fully agreed, which made Gu Chengyu quite satisfied.Lu Chen was quite generous about this matter, and didn't want to take the opportunity to take the credit for himself.

This is also the reason why he is so polite to Lu Chen now, otherwise he wouldn't care if Lu Chen was in pain or not, and would give him some medicine.

"Then who is behind him?"

Lu Chen was thoughtful. In fact, his people had already found out that Liao Cheng was in contact with a mysterious figure in Beijing.

Although I haven't found out who it is, that person is definitely not Xia Qing.

But what surprised him was that Gu Chengyu was also aware of it.

No wonder Gu Chengyu was promoted so quickly, and it was not without reason.How could such a thoughtful and cautious person be unknown in the officialdom?

What a pity!Gu Chengyu was born in a farming family and has no official connections.

He didn't have anyone to use, otherwise Gu Chengyu would really be able to bring this treasure map back to the capital.

Gu Chengyu shook his head, "I don't know, this Liao Cheng should have joined that person not long ago. You probably haven't found out who he has close contacts with, right? Then I won't know."

Lu Chen was silent. He asked himself, if he didn't have a family, he wouldn't be able to think of these things with his brain alone.

"However, are you really planning to leave like this? We haven't got the treasure map, so we just go back to the capital?"

It suddenly occurred to Lu Chen that the treasure map had not yet been obtained, and they just returned to the capital like this, after all, they were a little unwilling!
