When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 74 Two Things Happened on New Year's Eve
On New Year's Eve, when every household was decorating its houses with lights and lanterns to welcome the new year, something happened in Jiangzhou City and the northern border.

Prince Li, who was ordered to guard the northern frontier, joined forces with the Northern Rong and Northern Man armies to launch a surprise attack on the border on New Year's Eve in order to fight back. He was injured by the enemy. When the news reached the capital, some ministers suggested that he return to the capital to recuperate.

In order not to discourage people's hearts, Emperor Xiao Junmo had to agree to recall his cousin Prince Li Xiao Junlin, who had made countless military achievements since he was thirteen years old, back to the capital.

Situ Haoran looked at his senior brother, whose arm was scraped open, and curled his lips, "This injury is so severe that even a doctor like me from the Divine Doctor Valley can't cure it.

Senior Brother, do you want to prepare the coffin in advance? I will notify my parents to come to the funeral."

"Sure." Xiao Junlin looked at him with a half-smile and said coldly, "I'll have someone make a custom coffin based on your body shape."

"Junior brother, go back and prepare yourself. You will be in bed in a few days. You can't let Master and Master's wife come here in vain."

Situ Haoran gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for being so generous. You deserve not to have children."

After saying that, he stood up and ran, because someone had already picked up a 40-meter-long sword from the side and was ready to chop people. A cold voice came from behind: "Brother, don't run!"

Situ Haoran: "If you don't run, you're a fool. I'm not like you. I've been learning Kung Fu from my martial arts geek father since I was a child. If I'm caught by you, I still have a way to survive."

The fact that he could not have children had become a pain that Prince Li Xiao Junlin could not bear to mention.

After Situ Haoran knew about this, he jumped on the line of death from time to time. Relying on the set of Qinggong skills he learned from his mother, the Medical Immortal, in elementary school, he successfully escaped from the hands of his senior brother who was highly skilled in martial arts.

Xiao Junlin thought of the mother and sons who disappeared in his general's mansion again. He raised his hand and touched his chest. He didn't know why he was always worried about these five people.

"Should I send someone to find out who she is and where she went..."

On New Year's Eve, there were a few more prisoners in the Jiangzhou City government prison.

Gu Hua, who was invited in overnight, looked at the two people who were being tortured, covered in blood and howling in pain, without blinking an eye.

"Why don't you tell me who sent you to deliver the poisoned food to the prison for them to eat?" Who would want to come to the prison to try a case on New Year's Eve? Magistrate Tian asked with a face as black as ink.

At the trial scene, Gao Jinhu and the group that assassinated Gu Hua were staring angrily at the person being tortured across the prison bars.

If the jailer had not appeared in time and stopped them from eating the good wine and food that were sent to them, they would have become corpses by now.

The man being tortured seemed unable to bear it any longer, and with blood foaming from his mouth, he finally uttered two names.

"The Caoqing Gang's leader Zhou Quan colluded with my master's concubine Gao Yulan to do this."

"You're talking nonsense!" Before anyone else could speak, Gao Jinhu, who had wanted to kill the two people who brought in the poisoned wine and food, now had an even more ferocious look on his face, "It can't be her."

Gu Hua saw one of the men being tortured, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his scarred face, "Is it just because she is your sister?"

"Don't forget who gave her to Zhou Quan to play with, and then successfully became the second in command of the Caoqing Gang.

Although by chance our master took her as a concubine and she lived a good life, this does not mean that she did not hate you brothers for giving her away for fun.

Besides, you are in jail now. It is not normal for her to want to team up with her ex-lover to kill you because she thinks you are a shameful brother. "Both Gu Hua and the majority of the prisoners in the jail did not believe the words of the tortured man. But if he still said this after being tortured like this, there would probably be no other gains if we continue to interrogate him.

Gu Hua and Prefect Tian looked at each other, and then began to interrogate Ma Cunde, who was sent from Guangning County Prison years ago, to see whether he was involved in the case of hiring people from the Caoqing Gang to murder the Gu couple and their bodyguards.

Ma Cunde, who was originally brought here, still wanted to be stubborn, but when he walked in and saw the two bloody men being dragged out, his eyes trembled like an earthquake, and the fear in his eyes could not be hidden even if he wanted to.

Turning his head to see the bloodstains left by the walking, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

Prefect Tian originally wanted to ask Ma Cunde whether he would confess or not, just to go through the formalities, but Gu Hua stopped him with a look and signaled to the officer who was executing the prisoner nearby.

"Ahem!" Magistrate Tian, ​​who had been an official for many years, understood immediately. He coughed lightly, looked at the officer holding the bloody instrument, and ordered, "Use torture."

"My Lord, my Lord, my Lord." When Ma Cunde heard that he was going to be tortured, his whole body trembled and he spoke incoherently: "Whatever your Lord wants to know, I will tell you. I only ask that you don't torture me."

Prefect Tian sat solemnly on the official chair brought by the yamen runners and asked sternly: "Do you admit that you embezzled money from your master's shop?"

Ma Cunde raised his head slightly and nodded, looking angrily at Gu Hua who was standing next to Prefect Tian. The other party just smiled and looked at the executioner who was walking not far from Ma Cunde and seemed ready to take action at any time.

After Ma Cunde shivered, perhaps still feeling angry, he never dared to look up at anyone again.

"Sir, I recognize you."

Prefect Tian nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, just admit it, and I won't have to torture you."

If Ma Cunde dared to speak, his mouth would definitely be full of fragrance. If he was not afraid of being tortured, he would have confessed so readily.

"In the account book provided by Young Master Gu, there are records of you and Gu Mingsheng from the fifth branch of the Gu family colluding to privately embezzle the property of the sixth branch of the Gu family."

"Pah." Magistrate Tian slammed the gavel he had brought with him and asked, "But it's true."

"This..." Ma Cunde was stunned for a moment, and had not yet decided whether he should admit to the crime or not.

However, when he saw the torturer nearby, he shook the bloody whip in his hand and felt that he was guilty anyway and would definitely be imprisoned and punished.

Thinking it would be better not to endure another bloody torture before going to jail, he hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and confessed his former accomplices.

"Yes, it was the Fifth Master of the Gu Family who found me many years ago and asked me to be their assistant in the Sixth Branch of the Gu Family, whose business was gradually growing, and to help them embezzle the Sixth Branch's property."

Prefect Tian and Gu Hua looked at each other, and this time it was Gu Hua who asked, "Which ones are you referring to?"

When Ma Cunde saw that it was Gu Hua who asked the question, he didn't want to answer.

But seeing Gu Hua coming over and taking the bloody whip from the officer's hand, putting it into a bucket of water mixed with salt, and then taking it out and slapping it...

He knew that his arms were no match for his thighs, and if he didn't tell the truth, the whip would surely fall on him. Ma Cunde, who was not strong, still told the truth, "It was Master Gu Wu, and... and the Gu family..."
