Chapter 390 Where Are the Reinforcements?
"Master." Jin Hua's voice came from the door.

Gu Jingcheng frowned slightly, glanced at Ding Chengren, and said lightly, "Come in."

Jinhua pushed the door open and entered, stepped forward with a respectful expression and said in a low voice, "Master, the steward Ming who is beside Mr. Si is here."

"Mingming? What is he here for?" Gu Jingcheng asked. There must be no mistakes in the matter of soldiers and horses. If the reinforcements do not arrive for a long time, it will be even more difficult to take down the capital city. Could it be that Si Chen has repented?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Gu Jingcheng's mind.

"Ming Guanshi said that Master Si Chen wants to see Qiu Huai." Jin Hua lowered his eyes and said in a straightforward manner.

"Qiuhuai?" Gu Jingcheng pondered for a moment, then asked in a steady voice, "Is Qiuhuai still in the mansion?"

"Yes! According to the master's order, he is being held in the firewood room, and he is about to be sent back to the other courtyard in the capital at night." Jinhua said in a serious manner.

"Leave him first, and tell Minglang that I'll go see him later." Gu Jingcheng rolled his eyes and said loudly.

"Yes, this subordinate will go now!" Jin Hua left with his hands clasped.

After his subordinates left, Ding Chengren looked at the solemn Gu Jingcheng, "Master thinks there is something wrong with Si Chen?"

He didn't know much about Si Chen, he only heard that he was a businessman from Nanzhao, and he wanted to come here to find someone. Coincidentally, he heard that a Nanzhao envoy had also come to the palace recently. It is obviously not a simple matter to appear so frequently in the land of the Li Dynasty, and there must be something else.

"I suspect that this Qiu Huai has something to hide, otherwise Si Chen would not suddenly ask for someone." Gu Jingcheng looked determined.

"Since that's the case, why don't master torture him to extract a confession? No matter how tough his mouth is, he can't be tougher than a soldering iron!" Ding Chengren narrowed his eyes, with a stern look on his face.

Gu Jingcheng focused his gaze, pursed his lips and remained silent.

"You go to torture Qiuhuai first, and I'll go see Minglang." Gu Jingcheng said calmly.

"Yes!" Ding Chengren responded, turned and left.

—— Xiyuan side hall

Minglang stood by the window and waited for Gu Jingcheng, while Jinhua stood at the door without saying a word.

He looked a little impatient, he thought that Gu Jingcheng would let someone take Qiu Huai away immediately, but he didn't expect him to save it. It seems that the master is right, Gu Jingcheng is by no means completely brainless.

"Ming Guanshi, come late at night, why?"

Before seeing him, but smelling him first, Gu Jingcheng pushed open the door, walked in with big strides, looked at Minglang with a smile and said.

Minglang leaned slightly, and saluted politely, "Master Gu, I've been bothering you late at night, my master still has something to ask Master Qiu, I hope you can hand him over to me."

Minglang stepped forward and handed over the letter written by Si Chen. The content of the letter was exactly the same as what Minglang said.

Gu Jingcheng nodded with a smile, put away the envelope calmly, with an apology on his face, "It's okay, but unfortunately this Qiuhuai has been sent back to another courtyard by my subordinates, after all, it belongs to the current empress. Biological father, it is really inappropriate to stay here."

As soon as the words came out, the room was silent, but Gu Jingcheng looked at him as if he didn't notice, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

Mingming's face darkened, he looked at Gu Jingcheng with burning eyes, and his voice became cold, "It seems that Mr. Gu is not planning to hand him over? Remind your lord, these [-] troops are not so easy to get. "

Minglang's words were unceremonious, even a little threatening. Jinhua who was standing at the door frowned and wanted to step forward but was stopped by Gu Jingcheng's eyes.

He chuckled, "It's a misunderstanding of Manager Ming. Qiuhuai is indeed not in the mansion. If you don't believe me, you can search it! But I can guarantee that tomorrow, I will send him to your mansion in a proper manner!"

What Gu Jingcheng said was serious, the two of them were discussing the whereabouts of the person imprisoned by the order of the emperor without any restraint.

"Waiting for the good news." Mingming stared at him for a moment, then cupped his hands, "I will go back and report the truth to my lord."

"Director Ming, go slowly." Gu Jingcheng was always smiling, and his expression did not change in the slightest because of Ming Lang's words.

"Farewell!"

When Jinhua sent him away, Gu Jingcheng's smile disappeared instantly, and he walked towards the woodshed.

Standing at the door, there was a painful muffled sound mixed with Ding Chengren's scolding and cursing from outside the house.

Gu Jingcheng raised his foot and walked in with a blank expression. Inside, Qiu Li was bound hands and feet and knelt in the middle of a pile of firewood. His face was covered with bruises. He looked at the two of them with a terrified expression and kept shaking his head.

"How? Can you recruit?" Gu Jingcheng looked at Ding Chengren, his dark pupils were indifferent, without any emotion.

"He insisted that he didn't know anything." Ding Chengren threw down the torture instrument in his hand, stared at him and spoke.

He hadn't done it himself for a long time, and now he was a little struggling, panting and looking at Qiu Huai, who was stubborn and stubborn.

Gu Jingcheng squatted down slowly, looked at the man in front of him, and smiled sinisterly, "Tell me, about 18 years ago, is there anything you haven't explained yet?"

Gu Jingcheng hit Qiu Huai's heart every word.

His pupils dilated slightly, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he shook his head desperately.

Gu Jingcheng glanced at Ding Chengren, the latter stepped forward to remove the cotton cloth from his mouth, and said with a straight face, "If you don't say it now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to say it in the future. Do you choose to die or live?"

Ding Chengren's words made Qiu Huai's emotions break down even more. He shook his head desperately, and said in a crying voice, "I really don't know what you are talking about. I have said everything I know. I really don't know anything about the rest. knew"

Qiu Huai crawled to Gu Jingcheng's side and wanted him to let him go, but was kicked away by the latter.

"Ouch!" Qiu Huai fell to the ground on his back, grinning in pain.

Gu Jingcheng stepped on his chest with a cold voice, "Qiuhuai, if you are here today, if you tell everything obediently, I will save your life. If you leave this door tomorrow, There is only one dead end!"

Not knowing if Gu Jingcheng's words had an effect, Qiu Huai fell silent, got up tremblingly, and looked aside with a complicated expression.

"How about it, do you choose to say it or not?" Gu Jingcheng said lightly, as if he didn't see the tangled look on his face.

"I" seemed hard to say, Qiu Huai buried his head even lower.

"Master Qiu, could it be that the woman's death has something to do with you?" Gu Jingcheng stared at him, pretending to be indifferent.

"It has nothing to do with me!" Qiu Huai suddenly looked at him excitedly and said loudly, as if thinking of something terrible, he said to himself, "No, I didn't kill what didn't concern me. She herself"

Gu Jingcheng frowned. Seeing him like this, he knew that what happened back then must have something to do with him, and threatened in a low voice, "If you don't tell me what happened back then, no one can protect you. That person yesterday was the woman in the painting Brother, if you are taken away by him, do you think you still have a way out?"
