On the fate of rejecting the boss's confession [Quick Transmigration]

The information that Xiao Ruge got from Xu Maofu's study office was related to this Hu Dayuan. Although it was only a rough scan in an emergency, he still had an intuition that the person who had a secret letter with Xu Maofu had something to do with his father. Now that Xu Maofu couldn't go any further, Xiao Ruge immediately decided to ask Gu Shangchen to help him investigate this person, that is, the other person in the secret letter, Hu Dayuan.

He didn't expect that this person was in the capital, and he was also the richest man in the capital, so he was very surprised at the moment.

Gu Shangchen naturally knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, but he had to pretend that he didn't know anything and guided Xiao Ruge to discover the truth bit by bit. However, Xiao Ruge discovered another key character in the original text so quickly, but it was a surprise. Let him a little surprised.

Gu Shangchen agreed without hesitation, until two or three days later, he pretended to do a thorough search, and then Gu Shangchen told Xiao Ruge the information he "checked" during dinner that day.

"This Hu Dayuan is now the richest man in the capital. Almost all the tea shops in the capital are under his name, even the tea in the palace is provided by him. He is regarded as an imperial merchant. Secondly, he also runs various shops. What? Rare fabrics from the Western Regions, rouge and spices, etc., in short, belong to the wealthy."

There is no need to check these things, everyone in this capital knows everyone, Xiao Ruge also inquired clearly in the past three days, but what Gu Shangchen said immediately made him very concerned.

It turns out that Hu Dayuan was just a small tea merchant ten years ago, and he often traveled around to collect tea and bring it back to the capital. He once traveled thousands of miles to the country of Wu and brought back the famous tea from the country of Wu, but he didn’t know what it was. The reason is that just ten years ago, Hu Dayuan suddenly became rich overnight, opened many tea shops in the capital in a short period of time, and then opened various other shops, and even became an imperial merchant who supplied tea to the royal family. He became one of the top wealthy businessmen in the capital.

From this point of view, this matter is very strange.

Gu Shangchen deliberately and inadvertently said all the key points, such as "ten years ago" and "Wu Guo went to business", because Xiao Zhan's incident was ten years ago, and this ten-year time point is too sensitive and very sensitive. Coincidentally, it was Zhou State, which was close to Wu State on the border of Qi State, who had a war with Qi State ten years ago.

With Xiao Ruge's clever mind, Gu Shangchen really didn't need to say more, he already had some guesses in his heart, and after thanking Gu Shangchen, he didn't say anything more.

Gu Shangchen knew in his heart that he must do something, so he didn't say anything anymore, after all, Xiao Ruge was still on guard against him.

Sure enough, when the night was dark and the wind was high, Xiao Ruge, who was dressed in night clothes, rushed out of the small courtyard and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.What he didn't know was that the moment he disappeared, another black shadow followed him silently.

Gu Shangchen, who experienced ancient light kung fu for the first time, felt pretty good. It was much more enjoyable than he imagined. Fortunately, the martial arts given to him by the system were unfathomable. Even Xiao Ruge's strength was unaware. Gu Shangchen was quite satisfied, so So silently followed Xiao Ruge to Hu Dayuan's mansion.

Gu Shangchen watched Xiao Ruge's ghostly figure quickly rush into the huge Hu mansion, and then disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye. Gu Shangchen followed closely behind. Soon, Gu Shangchen saw Xiao Ruge sneaking into Hu Dayuan's house quietly. In the room, with a thought, Gu Shangchen jumped up and flew to the roof, and then, like the plot in a martial arts novel, he quietly lifted a few tiles and lay down on the roof to look down.

Xiao Ruge quietly sneaked into Hu Dayuan's bedroom, and soon saw Hu Dayuan sleeping like a dead pig on the bed. His fat body, big waist and round waist made him look like a dead pig. Xiao Ruge Ge recognized Hu Dayuan at a glance.

Grabbing the teacup on the table, Xiao Ruge poured the ice-cold tea unceremoniously, directly on the face of Hu Dayuan's big round plate. Hu Dayuan, who was in a deep sleep, immediately woke up from the dream with his limbs thumping. After he figured out what was going on, he found a gleaming sword on his neck full of flesh, and a dark figure was standing in front of the bed.

Immediately, Hu Dayuan was so frightened that he almost rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.

Xiao Ruge grabbed the fat Hu Dayuan and dragged him up, then pointed the cold sword point directly at Hu Dayuan's forehead and said in a cold voice, "Just say what I ask you, understand?"

"Obviously understand... Hero, please spare me, I will give you everything you want..." Hu Dayuan thought it was someone who robbed his house, and he was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff.

Xiao Ruge snorted impatiently, "Shut up."

"Do you know General Xiao Zhan Xiao ten years ago?" Xiao Ruge asked in a cold voice, but he didn't want the trembling Hu Dayuan's expression to change immediately, and his face like a big round plate immediately changed. In white, before Xiao Ruge could ask again, he was already shaking like a rattle.

"No, I don't know, I don't know anything, I don't know."

The sweat on Hu Dayuan's face protruded, as if he had hit the point he was most afraid of right away, and kept saying that he didn't know, but the more he reacted like this, the more Xiao Ruge was sure that he must know something, So he immediately snapped, "Do you know something! Say it, or I'll kill you if you don't!"

"Forgive me, hero, I really don't know anything, I don't know..." Hu Dayuan felt a sharp pain in his neck, as if a sharp sword tip had been pierced in, and he trembled even more immediately ,"I do not know anything."

"Say no!" Xiao Ruge yelled eagerly, "How did General Xiao die? What was the truth back then? Who killed him!"

Xiao Ruge's voice was heavier than his voice, and it's no wonder that he was so impatient. This was a knot that had been in his heart for more than ten years, and besides, he was only eighteen or nine years old now, and his impulsiveness was completely understandable.

Gu Shangchen on the roof could see clearly, but he didn't intend to stop him. He understood Xiao Ruge's mood and understood his behavior, but if he continued to ask, he might not be able to ask anything.

Seeing that the blood on Hu Dayuan's neck was flowing more and more, fortunately at this moment, Hu Dayuan finally couldn't stand the threat of death and tremblingly said, "I really don't know, it was all ordered by the Duke, and it was the Lord who made it I said."

Xiao Ruge's eyes darkened, he grabbed Hu Dayuan's collar and said harshly, "What did he ask you to do?"

"He...he...he asked me...to talk about seeing General Xiao meet two people alone in Hurengou."

"Who did you meet? What's the purpose?" Xiao Ruge's eyes were red, as if he wanted to swallow Hu Dayuan.All nerves jumped to the extreme, as if he would know the whole truth in the next second, but this Hu Dayuan shook his head like chaff, "I don't know."

Afterwards, no matter how Xiao Ruge threatened or forced Hu Dayuan to ask, he just didn't know the answer. The huge sense of disappointment made Xiao Ruge feel unstoppable. Back to the original point, if you want to know the truth back then, you still have to go to Duke Xu Maofu.

But after thinking about it, it can be regarded as a little progress, Xiao Ruge finally left Hu Dayuan and left the Hu Mansion, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared before.

Until this time, Gu Shangchen, who was hidden on the roof, appeared in the room without a sound. Hu Dayuan, who was scared to death just now, just took a breath, and found another standing in the room in the next second. The man in black thought that the one just now came back again, but why did he come back? This must have come to take his life.

Hu Dayuan was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and knocked at Gu Shangchen indiscriminately. His head like a big round plate was big enough, and he knocked his forehead on the ground, crying while knocking, "Hero, please forgive me! I don’t know, I don’t know anything, I beg you, hero, I will give you everything you want..."

Gu Shangchen only thought it was funny, and after he had had enough, he leaned over slightly, and then said to him in a gloomy voice, "You can't tell anyone what happened tonight, especially Xu Maofu, do you understand?"

Hu Dayuan lay on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. After listening to it, he was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly replied, "I understand..."

"If a third person knows what happened tonight..." Gu Shangchen intentionally elongated his voice, and then whispered in his ear, "Your fate will be like this cup."

As soon as Gu Shangchen finished speaking, as soon as the internal force of this world was mobilized, the hard porcelain cup shattered into powder with a little force, and then it was scattered in front of Hu Dayuan's eyes as soon as he loosened his hands. He nodded quickly, for fear that Gu Shangchen would smash him into pieces if he got upset.

When he stopped, there was already a dead silence in the room, and Hu Dayuan collapsed on the ground, his face was pale and pale with fright.

Gu Shangchen returned to the prime minister's mansion calmly, and went to the other courtyard early the next morning as usual, and found that Xiao Ruge looked a little sad, but he knew the reason in his heart but did not reveal it. The death was related to Xu Maofu, and even suspected that Xu Maofu was the one who killed his father.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Xiao Ruge directly suspects that Xu Maofu is the real murderer who killed his father, because he is his father's confidant, he has enough strength, and he has more opportunities than anyone else. It was the result of his father's death.

The more Xiao Ruge thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible, but now he has scared the snake away, and his father was personally sentenced by the emperor to be executed, and now everyone who knows Xiao Zhan keeps it secret, and dare not even mention it. Said to reverse the case for him.

So he can only search by himself, and now the only way to understand what happened back then is to enter the archives of Dali Temple and find the dossiers of Xiao Zhan's collaboration with the enemy and treason, the only way to find it there.

However, places like Dali Temple are even more heavily guarded, hundreds of times stricter than the Duke's Mansion. Said this way is absolutely not feasible.

However, what Xiao Ruge didn't expect was that the stupid son of the prime minister's family once again sent him an opportunity without reservation, trusting him wholeheartedly and treating him as the most trusted friend, really without reservation.

Cough... Gu Shangchen suddenly revealed to him that he has a very good relationship with the crown prince, and the crown prince also trusts him very much. He just happened to have a case that required him to go to Dali Temple to check the files, so he planned to take Xiao Ruge with him, and specially expressed to him , he took the prince's handbook.

Once again, Xiao Ruge never believed that it was a coincidence when he was offered a pillow just as he was about to sleep, but there was no trace of abnormality on Gu Shangchen's face.

And he just needed it, so in the end he could only keep his doubts in his heart again.But looking at this person's full of trust, Xiao Ruge always felt a little bit sorry. On the one hand, he felt that he was a little stupid, on the other hand, he was suspicious, and at the same time, he felt guilty because of his own use. It was extremely complicated.

In fact, Gu Shangchen just asked the prince for help with the father of a confidante, and the prince really trusted him, and knew that he had many confidante, so he readily agreed to his request.

Gu Shangchen had made all the preparations. There was indeed such a confidante among Ye Jinzhao's confidantes. His father was in prison, and his family was in a brothel and was redeemed by Ye Jinzhao. To avoid being scolded, the prince grew up with him, and the two of them were like friends, so they agreed to him decisively.

As for him being so stupid that he completely turned out his own background and showed Xiao Ruge that he was a fool, Gu Shangchen was also very helpless.
