After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

It turned out to be Dingbeihou's Mansion, so Su Xiaomu was not surprised.

"Thank you. In the past, I thought that I might have the ability to withstand the wind and rain that poured in like mine, so I always relied on my own strength, but I forgot that there is a saying that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. In this world, there are always people who are more powerful than me, let alone those who hold positions of power. It is easier to crush others to death."

Su Xiaomu also leaned against the wall of the carriage to rest like Gu Jingcheng.

Gu Jingcheng quietly looked at her profile, and couldn't help but think in his heart that although the martial arts of the people trained around him were good, they were all better than the people who could not Ding Beihou's Mansion.

Asking his own people to protect Su Xiaomu, Gu Jingcheng always felt a little worried.

If anything involved Su Xiaomu, he would have to be 12 energized.

After all, as long as Su Xiaomu is not careful, Su Xiaomu may be involved in danger, and he has never been able to bear the consequences of Su Xiaomu's accident.

Fortunately, today's matter was resolved safely, Su Xiaomu is now standing in front of him safely, nothing bad happened.

"Your cooperation with Shen Xiyan, I have never asked what it is, but you must remember that you promised me that you will not hurt Hasimu."

Su Xiaomu heard the name Shen Xiyan from Gu Jingcheng again, and she had to remind Gu Jingcheng again.

In fact, for Su Xiaomu, the third prince is a pit of fire that he cannot jump into, and that Mr. Shen is also not a good guy.

"I remember, I remember every word you said."

After a brief rest in the suburbs of Beijing, Gu Jingcheng accompanied Su Xiaomu to see the fruit tree seedlings she planted in the field.

Lin Yuemei is a vicious person, Su Xiaomu originally thought that they tricked him into coming here as a cover, and probably nothing really happened to the fruit saplings, but he really didn't expect that Lin Yuemei really wanted her life and her money.

The fruit saplings are all dead, not only the roots are black, but all the fruit saplings have lost their way of life, lying on the ground, the general distress is not enough to describe Su Xiaomu's mood at the moment.

Seeing Tian Li's appearance and Su Xiaomu's uncontrollable heartbroken expression at this moment, Gu Jingcheng knew what she was thinking.

Su Xiaomu was not a drinker at first, but every time she drank the fruit wine she made herself, Su Xiaomu was always willing to drink two more glasses, and occasionally got drunk.

Gu Jingcheng had almost no chance to see Su Xiaomu unconscious, except when she was drunk.

"I asked Zhou Lin to send you a new batch of fruit seedlings. It's still spring. After careful calculation, these new fruit seedlings should not miss you too much. It just so happens that you have other business to do in your hands?"

Gu Jingcheng thought of Fucheng, Su Xiaomu's fruit seedlings were supplied by Zhou Lin's family.

"It's really not that I'm hypocritical, I can't listen to what you say, but I know when to do business. Originally, there was a big business that pointed to this fruit wine. Now the matter of fruit wine has changed. I don't know for a while. I don't have time to start that business."

Lou Qi sells the fruit wine she made in Fucheng to the palace, Su Xiaomu doesn't know if Lou Qi has used his businessman's name to get through this route?

If I want to be an imperial merchant and sell wine to improve my status as a merchant, the fruit sapling is a crucial step.

Su Xiaomu was not sad, but sighed one after another in his heart, feeling extremely complicated.

After returning to the capital, Gu Jingcheng first sent Su Xiaomu back to rest.

Then tell Gu Ruonan to let her not go to the martial arts gym these days, and rest at home for a while if she has nothing to do, and then go after the wind has passed.

Gu Jingcheng did not hide the difficulties that Gu Ruonan had to face at home these days. He was never the kind of adult who would let his children grow up in a warm environment. Their Gu family was in the capital. Although it was not enough for everyone to take it seriously, many people had already started targeting Gu Jingcheng.

Regarding Lin Yuemei's matter, Prince An was not the only one who hated them.

Therefore, as the only junior in the family, Gu Ruonan is also a woman, so she must take good care of her safety.

Gu Ruonan is no better than Su Xiaomu, Gu Jingcheng doesn't have so much time and energy to spend on her.

After making arrangements for the two girls in the family, Gu Jingcheng did not forget to tell Shunde and Shunyi to protect Su Xiaomu's safety no matter what.

Dingbei Houfu dungeon.

The dungeon is extremely dark and dank.

There is no light in it, it is pitch black, and you can't see the sky or the ground, let alone see yourself.

Rats, cockroaches, and all kinds of dark and damp creatures crawled around in such extreme darkness.

When Gu Jingcheng raised his legs to go in, he could only hear the chirping of bugs and mice.

Of course, if you walk in a prison cell with windows and look up in the bright moonlight outside, you can still vaguely see cockroaches building nests on the beams, mice digging holes in the corners, and centipedes crawling along the cracks in the walls.

In such an environment as a prison cell, even the person with the hardest bones can only survive for seven days at most, and it is still under the condition of not being tortured.

Of course, Gu Jingcheng didn't think that the spy caught this time was such a tough person.

The killers were all dead, but the spy from Prince An's Mansion that Lou Qi had sent over was being pinned on a wooden stake, waiting to be interrogated by Gu Jingcheng.

The spy was arrested for two days, and he had already been severely repaired.

His body was covered with signs of being whipped, his clothes were torn, and his body was covered in blood. He looked miserable, as if he had only one breath left.

Gu Jingcheng picked up the leather whip that was placed next to it. The whip had barbs, and it would scrape blood and flesh off people's bodies. The spy was treated like this for two days. Now that he sees this whip again, he doesn't need Gu Jingcheng to whip it. His legs were already trembling with fright, his lips and teeth were already trembling, and he didn't know how to speak.

"I said...all of me..."

"what!"

Gu Jingcheng raised his hand and whipped the spies fiercely, causing the spies to let out another scream before they could say a word.

He passed out from the pain, but when the jailer poured a basin of salt water on him, he immediately woke up again.

When he woke up this time, the spy's face was even paler.

And he was so angry that he looked like he was really about to die.

"What do you want to say?" Gu Jingcheng indifferently raised the spy's chin with the handle of the whip, and the words that came out of his mouth were as cold as ice, "After you think about it, if I don't like to hear it, you won't just be waiting for the whip."
