Rudonghai

Chapter 224
Taking advantage of the servant's absence, Gu Xuanyi was stopped by the nurse again when he was planning to go out to see Mr. Gu, and found that the nurse had all changed into new faces, so he secretly thought it was not good.

It's a pity that everything was too late, the servants eroded the Gu family bit by bit, replaced the nursing home with his own people, found the wrong place to sell the women in the warehouse, and replaced them with their own women.

The entire Gu family is in the hands of the servant, and Gu Xuanyi can't resist!
His eyes were red and he wanted to fight this guy, but it's a pity that a literati has no strength to restrain a chicken, and his legs can't walk. Can he head-to-head with those strong men?

In the end, apart from being injured all over his body, Gu Xuanyi was played with like a cat catching a mouse for a long time, and after being hungry for two days, he finally calmed down.

At least the servants have taboos and dare not go too far, so as not to make outsiders suspicious.

Others only knew that Master Gu and Gu Xuanyi fell ill one after another because they couldn't bear the blow because of Gu Yunyan's sudden and unexpected death.

Gu Xuanyi is arrogant and doesn't get along well with his colleagues, so naturally no one came to visit him.

Master Gu only relied on his face, and later he fawned on the daughter of An Guohou's mansion. Now that An Guohou is unlucky, who would dare to have anything to do with him?

The nodding acquaintances on weekdays are such as snakes and scorpions, and those who are a little friendly are hesitant to come to the door in person, but they just sent the servants to deliver some medicinal materials and supplements.

No one came to disturb him, the servant seemed to be the master of the Gu family, secretly eating meat every day, surrounded by beauties, living a very comfortable life.

Poor Mr. Gu is drugged every day and eats nothing but porridge. Gu Xuanyi has difficulty moving. He is afraid that he will cause trouble, so he is only given one meal a day, and it is only vegetarian dishes. There are no meat dishes. , I was weak all over, I just couldn't die from starvation, and I couldn't find trouble with the servant anymore.

The Gu Mansion is still considered a wealthy family. Gu Xuanyi grew up with rich clothes and fine food. He has always stretched out his clothes to eat and opened his mouth. It all went into the belly of the servants around me, where was the time to be hungry?
Now that he has suffered a seedling, Gu Xuanyi is so hungry that he tosses and turns at night, and his medicine has been stopped. Now he doesn't feel anything in his legs, and he can't exert any strength. He looks like a useless person, making his life worse than death.

But trapped in this small area of ​​Gu's mansion, he had no choice but to live or die.The servant took Gu Xuanyi very closely, he had served this man for many years, and he knew very well what kind of temperament his young master had.

After being humiliated, Gu Xuanyi was afraid that he wanted to seek death, or he might seek help in another way.No matter which one it was, it wasn't what the boy wanted to see, so he left four strong men around the High Heaven Pavilion to guard him.

The two of them worked shifts day and night every day, and they couldn't ask Gu Xuanyi to leave their noses for a moment.

Gu Xuanyi wanted to seek death several times, but was stopped by the strong man and humiliated wantonly.Gradually, his face became numb, and he felt like a living dead, starving every day, unable to sleep well, unable to walk, more desperate than death.

He thought of Yan Zixin and Gu Yunxiao, if he could tell one of them, he would be able to save himself from this pit of fire.

With great difficulty, Gu Xuanyi secretly slipped a hidden piece of high-quality jade pendant to the dumb old man who poured out Yexiang, along with a piece of letter paper, and asked him to send it to Yan's family, and if it didn't work, then send it to Xiao's residence.

The dumb old man had his door closed at Yan's house, but Yan Zixin was not there, so the concierge naturally wouldn't let the Gu family in.

He couldn't, because he had been favored by the Gu family, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the Taifu's mansion, but was stopped by Xiao Jiawei.

This incident alarmed Xiao Xilin, he waited for Gu Yunxiao to fall asleep, and then took the letter from Xiao Jiawei. It was written in Gu Xuanyi's scribbled handwriting, obviously written in a hurry in a panic.

It's a poem, I'm afraid Gu Xuanyi was worried about being discovered by the servant, so he pretended to write it as a poem to ask for help.The boy only knew a few big characters, and the poems and songs were nonsense. Even if he couldn't send them out, he could push them clean and get himself out.

After reading it, Xiao Xilin's face was cold: "Send that old man away, just say that I read the letterhead. Burn this thing, it's an eyesore."

Xiao Er agreed, threw the letter into the brazier, and watched it burn to ashes.

The dumb old man thought that the Tai Tuo would go to Gu's house soon to rescue the young master after sending out the letter paper, so he kowtowed three times before leaving.

"He is a loving and loyal servant, don't let him go back home." Xiao Xilin left behind these words, turned around and left.

Xiao Er made a gesture, and the other Xiao Jiawei knocked the old man unconscious, sent him all the way to the south of the Yangtze River and threw it to Yan Zhengnan.The Gu family was kind to the old man, and the old man took the risk of delivering the letter as a repayment, so there was no need to go back to the Gu family to continue suffering.

If it was discovered that Gu Xuanyi delivered the letter, if the boy would not do anything to him, he would be detrimental to the dumb old man.At that time, Mr. Gu's family will not plead for a servant.

It's a pity that the dumb old man died because of such a master.

Gu Xuanyi looked forward and looked forward again and again, but he didn't look forward to the dumb old man coming back, nor did he look forward to the rescue soldiers, but only hoped that the angry servant would come.

"I didn't expect Mr. Gu to have other thoughts and send the letter out. It's a pity that the Yan family threatened that they would not let the Gu family take a step forward. Master Taifu didn't have a good impression of the Gu family. After all, the Gu family was lukewarm to the third girl back then. , You can’t even come back here when you leave the house, Master Qiu has written it down, how can you repay your hatred with virtue and send someone to rescue you?”

Gu Xuanyi listened, and his heart felt cold. The dumb servant did send out the letter, but in the end, no one was willing to come to rescue him?
"Madam Gu left in a hurry, and she didn't take the dowry with her. Now that she's been exiled for three thousand miles, I'm afraid I won't come back in this life, but it's cheaper for me. I bought two big houses in the south of the Yangtze River for those things. It is enough to live comfortably for the first half of my life. Originally, because I was a master and servant, I thought I could serve you forever. Now that you are so disobedient, I'm afraid I can't stay."

The servant waved his hand, and two tall and strong guards came forward. Gu Xuanyi couldn't help but be terrified: "What, what do you want to do, kill the master? If someone finds out, you can't escape from the capital. Not to mention living happily in Jiangnan!"

"No one will know, my lord, do you think I didn't have a perfect plan?" The boy was still a little uneasy. Yan's family is straight-hearted, because Gu Xuanyi bullied Yan Zixin, so he blocked people from the door. If you really know, you will definitely send someone over to rescue Gu Xuanyi.

On the contrary, it was Master Taifu, but the servant was not sure.Xiao Xilin didn't like Gu's house because of Gu Yunxiao, but he ignored the letter after receiving it, because he wanted to use the servant's hand to vent his anger on Gu Yunxiao, and didn't want to dirty his hands.

After the matter is completed, will Master Taifu really allow him to escape from Beijing safely and live a good life in Jiangnan?
The boy was really not sure, he instinctively didn't worry about the literati of the Yan family, but was afraid of the unfathomable Taifu Xiao.

But if he didn't do anything to Gu Xuanyi, he was afraid that Taifu Xiao would not sit idly by and force him to do anything he said.

Instead of doing this, why not let the Tai Tuo think about it, maybe he will spare his life?
After making up his mind, the servant pointed viciously at Gu Xuanyi and said, "Be careful, don't let people see the clues."

The strong man complied, and knocked Gu Xuanyi unconscious with a knife in one hand, and made him lie flat on the bed.

Another person prepared a basin of cold water and brought dozens of sheets of thin rice paper from the table.He moistened the rice paper, covered it on Gu Xuanyi's face, prepared another sheet, and pasted it layer by layer, patiently.

Just in case, he posted a full twenty layers before stopping.

Gu Xuanyi's body twitched, gradually calmed down, and there was no more sound.

The strong man grinned: "Boss, it's done."

He was originally a prison guard, but he was squeezed out by the nephew of the government office. He found a mistake and dismissed him, but the methods he learned in the prison did not fail at all. To kill Gu Xuanyi, this kind of surreptitious method is the most appropriate.

"Okay, lift the man up and throw him into the lake. Don't forget to push the chair out, and your feet will be messy, causing the young master to stumble and fall into the lake. We couldn't save him." He looked at another person and said: "You are a new face, and you will report to the official later, what should I do, don't I need to say more?"

"Yes, Boss." With a Chinese face, he looked upright, and only those who were familiar with him knew how ruthless he was.It was precisely because this face made people feel relieved and made it extremely easy for him to win.

He tugged at his robe, looking messy, took a few breaths, made his face pale, and ran back and forth in the yard a few times, sweating profusely, and then went out and went straight to the government office up.

The boy was satisfied with seeing it, this person is very smart, he can handle things, he can rest assured.

The rest of the people looked at it and murmured to themselves: "It's really deceiving people and not worth their lives."

The strong man panicked and went to the official office to report the letter, and the official messenger rushed to Gu's mansion soon.Seeing the mess by the lake, Gu Xuanyi was lying on the ground, his face was as white as paper, he was already out of breath.

Wu Zuo took a closer look and decided that he had indeed stumbled and fell into the lake and drowned. The government hastily recorded it, and because Gu Xuanyi was an official ordered by the court, he specially wrote a note and presented it to the emperor.

It's just an inconspicuous civil servant, so the emperor naturally didn't take it seriously, but his surname was Gu, so he paid a little attention: "Xiguan, Mrs. Taifu is also surnamed Gu, what is the relationship with this person?"

"It's the elder brother born to the same mother. It's just that Mr. Tai Tuo didn't tell Mrs. Xiao about the drowning of this lord."

The emperor nodded. Gu Yunxiao was pregnant and weak due to poisoning. It really shouldn't be the time to tell her about her brother's drowning: "Since he is Madam Xiao's elder brother, then transfer some money from my private treasury." , the funeral should be properly handled."

Xiguan has always been the emperor's confidant, and before the master asks about it, he should inquire about everything he should know: "Back to the emperor, Mr. Gu fell ill because of the accidental death of the second girl. I'm afraid he can't get up and preside over Mr. Gu's funeral. The servants below are loyal, and they have chosen a geomantic treasure a long time ago, but it is thousands of miles away."
