Chapter 25
Tiandu, Gufu.

At dusk, when it was time for dinner, Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan were sitting at the dining table. There were delicious dishes on the table. Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan were waiting for Gu Chengfeng.

Xu Qing'e looked up at the sky, frowned slightly with her slender eyebrows, and said, "It's been this time, why hasn't the master come back yet?"

Gu Qingyan sat at the side, her melon-seeded face was pale, her nose was straight, and she said softly: "Maybe there is some delay."

A look of worry appeared on Xu Qing'e's face, and she said: "I don't know why today, since the master left in the morning, I always feel uneasy, as if something is about to happen, and Da Lang is away with my grandfather again, in my heart Really worried."

"Don't worry, mother, big brother Jiren has his own auspiciousness, so nothing will happen. Father is in Tiandu, and there will be no accidents. Maybe something happens temporarily, and maybe he went out to drink with his colleagues." Gu Qingyan comforted from the side.

"I hope so." Xu Qing'e sighed softly, still looking worried.

"When father comes back later, let's heat up the food." Gu Qingyan said.

Xu Qing'e nodded and said nothing.

Gu Qingyan glanced at her mother's expression, in fact, she was also a little puzzled, in the morning Gu Chengfeng had already promised to come back for dinner tonight, it didn't make sense that he wasn't home yet at this time, it's very rare for him to have a drink with his colleagues temporarily , It's just what she said to comfort Xu Qing'e.

"Xiaoyu, take the food to the kitchen and heat it up." Xu Qing'e said.

"Yes, ma'am." The little maid who stood aside replied, and was about to take the food to the kitchen.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and then the door of the Gu Mansion was pushed open, and more than a dozen people forced their way in.

"What are you doing, you can't go in..." Zhang Bo, the porter, wanted to stop him, but he was already old, so he was pushed to the ground by one of them.

"What's going on?" Hearing the sound, Xu Qing'e and Gu Qingyan hurried out from the back room.

"Madam, they...they said they want to search our Gu's residence." Uncle Zhang, the concierge, looked a little flustered. These people couldn't help but say that they wanted to search the Gu's residence, and he couldn't stop them.

Xu Qing'e frowned. She stepped forward and helped Uncle Zhang up. The group of people who broke into Gu's residence were all wearing official uniforms, with long knives on their waists, and a mirror embroidered on their chests.

Seeing this outfit, Xu Qing'e's heart was suspended.

After all, Gu Chengfeng has been working in Tiandu for a long time. Under Xu Qing'e's ears and eyes, she is also quite clear about some important institutions in Daxia. The group of people in front of him wearing official uniforms with embroidered mirrors on their chests come from a department named "Mingjing Department" in Daxia. organization.

The Mingjing Division is as famous as the Jingtian Division, and they are the two most important institutions in Daxia. If the Jingtian Division is external, then the Mingjing Division is internal.

The duty of Jingtian Division is to supervise the world, while the duty of Mingjing Division is to supervise all officials. It can be said that the Mingjing Division is a sharp knife hanging over the heads of all the nobles and officials in Daxia.

In Daxia, from the princes and ministers, all kinds of dignitaries, down to the ninth-rank officials, and the small sesame officials, there is no one who is not afraid or afraid of the Mingjing Division.

The Mingjing Division means a bright mirror hanging high, and there will be a mirror embroidered in the center of the official uniform, which means that every official in Daxia can recognize their responsibilities, have a bright mirror hanging high in their hearts, and know what to do and what not to do. should do.

Once an official commits corruption and violates the law, the Department of Mirrors will be dispatched. Since the establishment of the Department of Mirrors in Da Xia, it is unknown how many ministers have been arrested and thrown into the prison of the Department of Mirrors. Their fate is extremely miserable, and their families may even be affected.

Once caught by Der Spiegel and imprisoned, no one can save him.

There was even a prince of Daxia who broke the law and was taken into prison by the Department of Mirrors and died there.

It can be said that just the word Mingjingsi is enough to scare many officials in the Great Xia.

When Xu Qing'e saw people from the Department of Mirrors breaking into Gu's residence, she knew something must have happened to Gu Chengfeng.

"I don't know what you are doing?" Xu Qing'e asked pretending to be calm.

Gu Qingyan was tall and slender, standing beside Xu Qing'e, seeing her mother's serious expression, she also thought of it.

A total of 12 people came from the Mingjing Department on the opposite side. The leader was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. He was Liu Zheng's father, Liu Ningyuan.

Liu Ningyuan looked Xu Qing'e up and down a few times, and there was an inexplicable light in his eyes. Although Xu Qing'e was getting older, she still had a charming charm and a well-proportioned figure. Xu Qing'e also frowned, a little displeased when Liu Ningyuan looked at her like this.

After sizing up Xu Qing'e, Liu Ningyuan sized up Gu Qingyan a few more times, with a sneer on his face, and said, "Gu Chengfeng is really lucky to have such a pair of sons, wives and daughters, hehe."

Then, his face turned cold, he waved his palm, and shouted, "Search for me!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the news, the officials of the Department of Mirrors behind him immediately rushed to the inside of Gu's mansion, and started a violent search. The sound of ping-pong sounded from time to time. This group of people was extremely arrogant. broken.

"What are you doing?" Seeing this scene, Gu Qingyan frowned, her eyes widened, and she glared at Liu Ningyuan.

"Qingyan." Seeing this, Xu Qing'e's expression tightened, she quickly grabbed Gu Qingyan's hand, and pulled her back to her side.

"Humph."

Liu Ningyuan snorted coldly, rolled his eyes, and shouted: "Gu Chengfeng is so bold, corrupt and perverting the law, he dared to buy and sell officials, and he was taken down on the spot. Today's search of your Gu family is to see how ignorant Gu Chengfeng has been all these years. How much greedy conscience!"

Boom!

Liu Ningyuan's words hit Xu Qing'e's heart like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Buying and selling officials, no matter which dynasty or generation it is in, is a felony enough to kill someone!

Xu Qing'e's eyes darkened, her heart seemed to stop, her feet went limp, and she almost passed out.

"mother!"

Gu Qingyan's heart tightened suddenly, and she hurriedly supported Xu Qing'e's body that was about to collapse.

Then, she turned her head, glared at Liu Ningyuan, and said, "Impossible, my father would never do such a thing!"

Tiandu is the capital of Daxia, and Gu Chengfeng has worked in Tiandu for many years. Although he is only a seventh-rank official, he does have a lot of gray income, but it is just some small profits, which cannot reach the level of violating the laws of Daxia.

Besides, after being an official for so many years, Gu Chengfeng is still very clear about what can and cannot be done, what can and cannot be taken.

What's more, Gu Chengfeng was never a profit-seeking person, so Gu Qingyan didn't believe what Liu Ningyuan just said at all.

Liu Ningyuan sneered and said, "You still want to quibble? Gu Chengfeng was stolen and seized by us on the spot. It's not your decision whether to do it or not!"

As he said that, he ignored Gu Qingyan's gaze, and walked straight past Xu Qing'e. When he passed by, he glanced at Xu Qing'e's tall chest, and whispered in her ear: "Your nephew beat my son! It became a serious injury, which ruined most of my son's martial arts. Today, when I arrested your husband, it was a retaliation. When that Gu Chen comes back, I will also want him to be unable to eat, and the end will be the same as yours. Like a dead ghost husband!"

"If you want to save them, use you or your daughter in exchange."

After saying this, Liu Ningyuan sneered a few times and walked away.

Hearing this, Xu Qing'e's eyes went dark and she passed out.

"Mother, what's wrong with you, mother..." Gu Qingyan panicked and kept calling.

Liu Ningyuan turned his back to the two of them, listening to Gu Qingyan's call, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his face was extremely strong.
