Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 159
At night, a small boat that can only accommodate four people is rowed from a tributary of the inner city river to under an arch bridge that has been in disrepair. Where did the debris come from.

Xu Ye used the penny to push aside the obstacle, reached under the arch, turned the bow of the boat horizontally, and asked Luo Xing to use another penny to push away the water plants on the right side.As the tall and thick weeds were pushed away layer by layer, a dark hole appeared in front of their eyes.Xu Ye propped the boat into the cave, but did not light the lamp, relying on his consciousness to distinguish the direction.

Gradually, some dim light spots appeared in front of them, and they were slowly moving towards a certain direction. Xu Ye supported the boat and slowly approached, and she could roughly see the structure of this dark canal in the dim light.

There are traces of man-made excavation, but also natural formation, without any rules at all, very rough and hasty.Occasionally, one or two artificial holes full of attachments appeared on the top of the head. She guessed that they should be the abandoned wells of some people, or the place where the sewage was dumped.

As the light spot got closer, Cheng Fu found that it was a floating tank, wrapped in a strong rain cloth, dragged by a "water ghost" to a certain direction, and the light spot was tied to the top of the head by the "water ghost" oil lamp.

The quantity of this batch was very large, and they waited for a long time before the last "water ghost" passed by.

"What are they?" Cheng Fu was curious.

"Pearls, spices, slaves, gemstones, forbidden drugs...anyone who is heavily taxed and not allowed to enter the customs may leave here." Xu Ye continued to push forward.

There are many branches in the culvert, criss-crossing, and it is easy to get lost. If you accidentally fall into a deeper underground cave, there is almost no possibility of survival.They didn't have any fixed direction, but the more they looked in, the more people they saw, and even a crude pier appeared.

When others saw them wearing bamboo hats, they thought they had committed some crime and wanted to escape, so they didn't suspect it.

This is the tacit understanding between the people who make a living from this dark canal.

"It looks like it's been a long time, but the government doesn't know?" Cheng Fu was a little puzzled when he stepped ashore and stepped into the carriage.

The distribution of the culverts is too wide, and they don't belong to anyone or any force. Everyone uses them together. It's incredible that they can be hidden under the eyes of the Jingding Yamen for so many years.Unless the people in the government know, and this channel is also beneficial to them, so they all tacitly know it.

Fortunately, it is not a time of war, otherwise the existence of the underground canal would put the entire capital in danger.

"That's what you think." Xu Ye said.

"However, you can't go there without me leading the way." The culvert is a blind spot for security, and anything can happen in it.It is not uncommon for gangs to fight for supplies.

The little girl obediently agreed, anyway, she didn't intend to engage in illegal activities.

Duke Liang's Mansion
Zhu Ting lost her child, and Liang Guogong's government clearly favored Gu Changxi. Zhu's family members who originally wanted to stay in Gu's family as rice worms moved away quickly like the plague. Like sugar cane that has been squeezed to the last drop of water.

Now she seems to be walking freely, but she is surrounded by people arranged by Gu Zheng. Those women are powerful and meticulous, without any gaps.If she dared to take a step towards Changle Yuan, they would dare to drag her back to the house.

She thought that the reason why she was not detained was probably because she still bears the title of Mrs. Liang Guogong.

The old mother in the house once told her that it was Gu Changxi who originally had a marriage contract with Prince Rui. Gu Changxi thought that Prince Rui was a cripple at the time, and had a private affair with Xi Hengyun early on, so he refused to marry Prince Rui desperately.

Liang Guogong was reluctant to get married to the royal family, and he didn't want to wrong the daughter who was raised in his hands, so he didn't hesitate to let Chen Mengling divorce, and he didn't hesitate to lean on Concubine Zhu Xian. That's why the marriage with Zhu's family came about like this .

Zhu Ting did not overestimate Gu Changxi's mind, but underestimated Gu Changxi's position in Gu Zheng's mind.Whenever the night is quiet, recalling the past few years in the Gu family, thinking of Aunt Tang and Gu Yanya, and thinking of the situation of Cheng Han and Cheng Fu's siblings, she finally understands how stupid she is.

She really wanted to ask, is there no one in this world who can do nothing to Gu Changxi?Anyway, I am also a member of the Zhu family, so why should Concubine Zhu Xian let her go?
It's a pity that no one will give her answers to these questions.

Frost House

Caiqin rushed into An Mingzhu's boudoir, first sent out the little maid who was on duty at night, then closed the door and walked to the dressing table, and said to An Mingzhu who was taking off her headdress, "Miss, this servant found a scandal, what should I do?" , The slave girl ran too fast, didn't pay attention to whether she was noticed by others, will the slave girl be silenced?" She began to cry as she spoke.

An Mingzhu was puzzled, "Tell me carefully."

Caiqin wiped away her tears, "This servant saw the young master and... doing that shit with Miss Gu's family..."

"What?" An Mingzhu thought she heard it wrong, "How could this be? Brother..." She subconsciously slapped Caiqin, "Don't talk nonsense, if it gets out, brother's future will be ruined. "Her chest heaved and she gasped for breath from nervousness.

Caiqin held her swollen face, not daring to cry, "Miss, if that one stays at home for a day, you have to let her go."

An Mingzhu looked at her warily, "What do you want to say?"

"The servant girl just said that she closed the door to deal with it, and there will be no bad news. The young master is useful to the Gu family, and the old lady must protect his reputation." Besides, if there is a mistake in An Shengmao, the An family must come to the capital. .

"You evil slave, you actually have such thoughts." An Mingzhu raised her hand and slapped her again.

……

Early the next morning, Gao Sheng arrived at Cheng's house and met Cheng Fu and Xu Ye for dinner.

Hearing what happened in Gu's family last night, Cheng Fu wished she was deaf, but luckily her appetite was not affected.

An Mingzhu scolded Caiqin for a bad idea, but turned around and ordered someone to quietly go to the Changle Courtyard to keep an eye on her, and then she took Caiqin to invite the old lady.The next thing was that Gu Changxi and An Shengmao were dragged off the bed when they were burning firewood.

The family is not peaceful, Mrs. Gu has not left the capital in recent years, and she has aged a lot, but her unsmiling appearance is still the same as before.In the past, she was special to Gu Yanyun brothers and sisters, and her partiality was real, but now all that remains is powerlessness.

Gu Changxi spoke uprightly, saying that a man who is unmarried and a woman who is not married, and staying in his own home, is nothing evil, so why should everyone know about it.The old lady slapped her hard, she didn't dare to resist, and instead hated An Mingzhu who was complaining, especially when she sensitively caught the other's fleeting calculations.

An Mingzhu had been standing by the old lady's side the whole time, but she didn't expect that Gu Changxi would suddenly attack her.

Gu Changxi suddenly pulled out a woman's hairpin, rushed to An Mingzhu, and pierced her in the face without hesitation.An Mingzhu was caught off guard, and a deep and long gash was cut on the left side of her cheek, bleeding profusely immediately.

After Gu Changxi succeeded, she was pulled away by the women, laughed and scolded her for taking herself too seriously, and said that they were brought to the Gu family to be raised to pave the way for the children of the Gu family.She sleeps An Shengmao because she thinks highly of him, she is the dignified daughter of Duke Liang's mansion, so many sons and daughters of the Gu family have gone and died, only she and her brother Gu Yanyun are still standing.

An Mingzhu was so excited that she passed away.

Gu Zheng was socializing that night, and when he learned of the accident at home, he rushed back immediately. He saw Gu Changxi humiliating An Shengmao who was kneeling on the ground and Duan Shiyi who was at a loss, and the old lady looked helpless.

Knowing that if this continues, Duke Liang's mansion will be destroyed, Gu Zheng immediately made up his mind to have Gu Changxi tied up, and he will be sent out as soon as the city gate opens at dawn, and handed over to Gu Yanyun at Jincheng Pass.In the future, when she realizes her mistake, she settles down and gets married directly there without going back to Beijing.

Thinking of the hardships of Jincheng Pass, Gu Changxi felt that it was no different from being exiled, so she cried and asked Gu Zheng why he treated her like this, why he didn't love her anymore, did he want to recognize Changyan...

Gu Zheng held her in tears, saying that if she didn't do this, she would die sooner or later.Gu Changxi didn't believe it, and felt that Gu Zheng just didn't want her anymore. He was sure that Gu Zheng sent her away because the Cheng brothers and sisters were promising now and wanted to recognize them back, so as not to hurt the siblings.

Gu Changxi scolded all night, but was finally sent out of the city.

"Is there anyone following her..." Cheng Fu was curious.

"No, but it's not that hard to catch up to him just after we left."

Cheng Fu smiled, "You said that if Zhu Ting knows about this and she has a chance to go out of the city again, what will happen to Gu Changxi?"

"Gu Zheng sent someone to escort him, I'm afraid the Duke's wife will be hard to get." Gao Sheng pondered.

"That's her business." She didn't intend to provide any help to Zhu Ting, after all, Zhu Ting was not a good guy.

After Gao Sheng went out to make arrangements, the little girl realized that Xu Ye hadn't eaten all the time, and he didn't move until she moved the chopsticks.The two ate their breakfast quietly, and then walked around the garden holding hands to digest food.

"The Caiqin next to An Mingzhu is a bit interesting." She guessed that she should have been bought by Gu Yanya long ago.

"There is Xi Hengyun at Jincheng Pass." Xu Ye reminded.

Cheng Fu raised his eyebrows, remembering the farce between Gu Changxi and Xi Hengyun in the early years, and said with a smile: "Second brother arranged it very carefully."

With Gu Changxi's current situation, it's not impossible to make peace with Xi Hengyun.If Gu Changyu found out about this, would Gu Changyu feel like he was shooting himself in the foot?After all, Gu Changxi has ended up like this today, and she has contributed a lot.

"You will break his plan if you release Zhu Ting." Zhu Ting and Gu Changxi have a deep blood feud, and they will never die.

Cheng Fu muttered, "I just can't bear it, how could she still have the nerve to scold me?" Knowing from Gao Sheng that Gu Changxi still blamed her situation on completely irrelevant people, all the past events that she didn't want to think about came up in her head up.

Xu Ye hugged her into his arms to comfort her, "Your second brother will understand you." If Gu Changxi fell into Cheng Fu's hands, he would die from Zhu Ting, and if he fell into Gu Yanya's hands, he would die from Gu Changyu.The person holding the butcher knife is different, but the result is the same.

A few days later, people passing Liang Guogong's mansion found that Gu's family had suddenly hung up white curtains, and it was quiet inside, not sure who was dead.But paper can't cover the fire, and the funeral has to be done, so everyone soon knew that the person who died was Gu Changxi, the former wife of Duke Pei.As for the cause of death, the Gu family only said that they had a heart attack and walked away in a dream.

"They're all sick, and the funeral is in the hands of Princess Haoyue and the clan." Gao Sheng recalled seeing Zhou Fangyan's state, she wasn't sad at all, and when he observed carefully, he found that she was quite happy.

Gu Changxi passed away, and not many people came to mourn. Even her own sister, Gu Changyu, after learning that Gu Zheng wanted to send Gu Changxi to Jincheng Pass, not only refused to go back to her natal home to see her off for the last time, but even sent people to the place where Gu Changxi was going to be buried. Cemetery spilled dung.

"Where is Zhu Ting?" Cheng Fu was a little curious about this person's ending.

"I ran away, and was captured by Duke Liang, and now I'm locked in Zhuangzi. I guess this will be like this for the rest of my life." Gao Sheng felt that Zhu Ting was very sad.

"The Princess Haoyue won't let her be killed or rested, saying that it will affect the reputation of the family."

The Zhou family wanted their son-in-law to be transferred back to the capital to be reunited with their daughter, so they naturally didn't want to spread the rumors about Duke Liang's scandal.Zhu Ting is his third wife, if they break up again, Gu Zheng will not only be a joke in the capital, but also a joke in Dai Viet as a whole.
