famous eldest daughter

Chapter 124 Dark Line
When the news of Lu Jiuzheng's violent death in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment spread, Gu Yuqing was standing by the fish pond in the mansion, leaning on the railing, holding a small bowl of fish food in his hand.

After hearing the news from Ruyi, Gu Yuqing's hand holding the green-white jade bowl couldn't help but trembled. As soon as she lost her mind, the jade bowl fell into the water.

Immediately there was a splash of water one foot high, startled the koi in the pond to flee, and the pond was in chaos, but then the fish food floated to the surface, the koi that were running away were tempted by the food, as if they had forgotten the scare just now Usually, they rush towards the fish food to grab it.

Suddenly, the fish food was surrounded by layers and layers of fish.

Gu Yuqing looked at the suddenly changing bathtub with a playful smile in his eyes.

It was originally just a straightforward corruption case, but now Lu Jiuzheng's violent death in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment has taken the case to a deeper level.

It is inevitable that the emperor will be furious.

Where is the Prison Prison? It is the most strict prison in the country. Someone actually killed Lu Jiuzheng here who was about to be executed. This not only cost Lu Jiuzheng his life, but also the face of the royal court.

How could the emperor not be angry?

The result of the outrage was that Xiao Duo was ordered to immediately re-hear the case, and the daring madman must be found out based on the clues in the prison.

If this person is not questioned and beheaded in public, how will the emperor regain his face!

What's more, Lu Jiuzheng was sentenced to be executed in the city after three days of interrogation, but there are still people who think that he lived too long. Does this person hate Lu Jiuzheng or are he afraid that he will do something unspeakable again?

Once there is doubt in the heart, the doubt is like a spring seed, which gradually takes root in the emperor's heart and sprouts. It only needs proper watering to grow into a towering tree. The day when this big tree takes shape is the day when Prince Duan will die. day.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Yuqing told Ruyi: "Let Aunt Huang find a way to meet the concubine and give this to her." After saying that, he took out a piece of rice paper filled with hairpin flowers in small regular script from his sleeve and folded it The square and square shape is handed over to Ruyi.

Ruyi accepted the order and left in response.

Watching Ruyi leave, Gu Yuqing leaned against the railing and looked up through the dense criss-crossing leaves, looking at the blue sky cut into pieces by the leaves.

It is blue and clear, as if it has been washed.

Sunlight passed through the dense leaves and fell into Gu Yuqing's eyes. Gu Yuqing couldn't help but squint.

It is said that being anxious leads to chaos. Prince Duan must be regretting it right now.

Gu Yuqing's guess was correct. Behind the large pear wood desk, Prince Duan was slumped in the chair, his eyes were closed and his face was dark.

There were several officials in court uniforms standing in a row on the ground, all of them silent and afraid to show their anger.

He was still wearing court clothes, so it was obvious that he came straight over as soon as he came to court.

"Your Majesty..." Someone couldn't help the solemn air and opened his mouth to speak. He hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse like that of an old woman.

Prince Duan frowned and opened his eyes with a bang. He raised his hand and smashed out the bowl of tea at his hand. Immediately, the scattered porcelain pieces flew onto the soap-faced official boots of the officials. The timid ones were immediately frightened. Get a thrill.

"Trash!" Prince Duan gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't any of you win the right to preside over this case, and yet Xiao Duo took it away again?"

After the words fell, no one dared to answer the question. Even breathing, everyone tried to be as silent as possible, fearing that they might accidentally offend Prince Duan.

On this side, Prince Duan directed all his remorseful anger towards several colleagues. On the other side, Xiao Yu sat under the grape trellis in his garden and listened to Mingluo's detailed report.

In fact, when Gu Yuqing interrogated Lu Jiuzheng in prison, Xiao Duo was not the only one who eavesdropped, but there was also a prison guard.

An inconspicuous guard was Xiao Yu's secret agent in the prison of the Criminal Department.

After Gu Yuqing and Xiao Duo left, the guard took a break during the shift and met Ming Lu in private by going to the pub to drink.

The conversation between Gu Yuqing and Lu Jiuzheng was relayed by Ming Lu verbatim. Xiao Yu listened, his eyes were full of murderous aura, his handsome face was ashen, and his clenched fists were fiercely aimed at the stone table beside him. One smash.

He is a person with excellent martial arts skills. With this unreserved force, the stone table made of marble was smashed by him and cracked into several fine lines.

The veins on the back of his hands were prominent, and the muscles on his cheekbones were pulsing with anger inside.

The Gusu family in Qibei, the family of the most powerful and brave generals in this dynasty, did not expect to be wiped out by such a dirty deal.

Several generations of loyalty...

It was pity that hundreds of people in the Gusu family had died. Xiao Yu remembered that at the time of the incident, the eldest son of the youngest son of the old general in Gusu had just been born less than a hundred days ago.

It was as if a thousand-jin boulder was pressing down on his heart, which made Xiao Yu's chest so tight that he couldn't breathe.

If the child were alive, he would probably be as old as the Ninth Prince at this time.With a deep sigh and a long silence, Xiao Yu said, "Go to South Vietnam yourself."

Ming Lu was startled when he heard this, "Your Highness, do you want to activate the hidden line in South Vietnam now?"

Xiao Yu said with a green face: "Isn't the murder of the old general Gusu's family worthy of my king's use of South Vietnam's hidden line?"

Because the anger in his chest was still coming back, Xiao Yu spoke in a loud voice.

Ming Lu immediately explained, "Your Highness, that's not what I mean. What I want to say is that you have spent several years building a hidden line in South Vietnam. In fact..."

Xiao Yu waved his hand to interrupt Ming Lu's words, and said without any doubt: "I know what you mean, but I know that General Gusu was harmed by such a traitor. If I can't do my best to avenge him, my conscience will be uneasy. .”

Half of this imperial court was conquered by the Gusu family.

The other half is due to the Gu family.

Now the Gu Su family was wiped out, and the Gu family was in ruins because of Gu Su Yan's sudden death... Looking at the entire court, there were no capable generals, they were just talk on paper.

The old general of Gusu did leave behind many disciples, but unfortunately... they were suppressed by Prince Duan in recent years and were not able to thrive at all.

This time for Zhaoxue, the old general of Gusu, not only because he liked Gu Yuqing, but also for the righteousness in his heart, for a generation of loyal martyrs, and for his own conscience.

Ming Lu said no more, and immediately turned around and went straight to the stables. He took a large maroon horse named "Lightning", whipped it, and galloped away from Kyoto and headed south.

He was running so fast that he didn't even notice that an inconspicuous carriage passed by him on the way. The person sitting in the carriage was Lu Jiuzheng, who was supposed to be in the death penalty department.

At that time, when Prince Duan's secret guard went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to assassinate Lu Jiuzheng, Lu Jiuzheng was sitting opposite his cell with disheveled hair, watching the secret guard kill a death row prisoner Xiao Duo used to pretend to be him, blood spattered more than a foot high .

At that moment, he believed Gu Yuqing's words.
