Chapter 212 Adultery
"My lords, you guys are all responsible businessmen." The coachman tremblingly walked to the front and showed the token of the Zhao family, "This batch of wine must be shipped to the shop as soon as possible, otherwise, you guys will be killed." wages will be deducted.”

Gu Jinnian glanced at it, but still did not let him go.

"Open the wine jar!" Repeating these words, seeing that the coachman and the guards were hesitant, he waved his hand directly, causing a row of guards behind him to step forward and forcefully brushed away the guards standing beside the ox cart.

When the guards raised the wind lantern, they saw that the word "Zhao" on the seal of the wine jar was particularly conspicuous.

"Are you from the winery under the name of the Marquis of Wu'an?" Gu Jinnian asked.

The coachman nodded blankly, thinking that they should let them go.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jinnian ordered someone to pick up the front jar of wine and throw it on the ground.

Just hearing the sound of "cracking", the wine jar was broken into pieces, and the sweet wine flowed along the white snow.

"Why are you doing this!" the coachman protested, and the Zhao family's guards also protested, almost drawing their swords to confront the guards.

But I heard Gu Jinnian say: "I have received news that a batch of stolen money has flowed into Jinling City recently. The Criminal Department is searching the whole city. Everyone and everything that enters Jinling City at night must be interrogated!"

The coachman was ignorant of what he heard, and he just nodded his head, expressing that he would cooperate with them.

The Zhao family's guards also put away their swords, and they took the initiative to go over and open the wine jars one by one.

However, when the mellow smell became stronger and the wine jar was completely opened, they were dumbfounded.

Why are there golden bars in their wine jars?

Before they could figure it out, Gu Jinnian dismounted and picked up a gold bar. When he saw a pattern-like mark engraved on the bottom of the gold bar, his eyes lit up.

"The Zhao family hid the stolen money privately, let me take them and this cart of wine to the Ministry of Criminal Justice!" Gu Jinnian shouted angrily.

He was very excited in his heart, God really helped him.

He seemed to see that the Zhao family was about to collapse. If the Zhao family were gone, it would be much easier for him to deal with Gu Jincheng next time. Don't worry, they will collude again.

When Gu Jinnian took them away, the island in the middle of the lake was not peaceful.

Concubine Zhao Gui was detained in a remote courtyard, waiting to be sent to the nunnery tomorrow morning.

Hua Nu came to see her.

"You are the only one who remembers me at this time!" Concubine Zhao happily got up from the haystack, "How is it? Did His Majesty change his mind and ask you to pick me up?"

Hua Nu stood motionless, only looking at her coldly.

After a while, he said with a sarcasm: "My concubine, why don't you understand that when His Majesty said that he would send you to a nunnery in another country, he already gave up on you."

"Your life is useless!"

Concubine Zhao was slightly surprised, and straightened her messy temple hair, "Why do you talk to me like this, aren't you the most loyal all along?"

"Loyalty?" Hua Nu turned his head away in disdain, and sighed: "Your Majesty, you are really not a sensible person, only when you are in the limelight, will you meet loyal people."

"Look, what have you become now? Who else do you think will come to show your loyalty?"

Hua Nu laughed out loud as he said that.

Concubine Zhao looked at him incredulously, and cursed: "So you are the same as them, I really raised you such a white-eyed wolf for nothing!"

"The servant is not a loyal person." Hua Nu continued, "It's only your fault, your mother is too confused."

"What's more..."

"What's more?" Concubine Zhao was eager to know.

Hua Nu lowered his eyes slowly, "Your Majesty, you will know soon."

He went over and took off the valuable hairpin from Concubine Zhao Gui's head, twisted her arm, and took off the jade bracelet, the pain made Concubine Zhao scream.

"My concubine, my servant advises you, remember to keep your eyes open in the future. But, I'm afraid you won't have this chance." Then, Hua Nu turned and left mercilessly, and slammed the dilapidated carved wooden door shut.

Concubine Zhao chased after him furiously, "You perfidious, be careful, return my things!"

However, as soon as she stepped out of the threshold with one foot, she was stopped by the guards guarding the door, and no matter how she called, it was useless.

Hua Nu breathed a sigh of relief, and came to the Cuihua Courtyard where the palace people lived.

All the eunuchs undressed and bathed, and he also undressed and bathed.

However, when the clothes on his body were taken off and other people's eyes swept over him, there were very surprised shouts from the yard.

Hua Nu seemed to realize that he quickly put on his clothes and fled in a hurry before everyone recovered from the horror.

*
It was late at night, and Gu Jincheng hurried to the place where Emperor Changde was staying, claiming that he had found the murderer who killed Gu Linlang, and wanted to see Emperor Changde overnight.

There was a slight smile in his warm eyes, just now, Ben Lei had obtained all the evidence against him from the Zhao family.

Some of them were provided by Zhao Zhen on his own initiative. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen's hatred for his brother had reached such a level.

"Father, the ones who killed Lin Lang were Lord Zhao and Concubine Yun." Gu Jincheng clasped his hands together, and then he recounted the past of Zhao Chu and Miss Yun to Emperor Changde.

Then, he talked about how Gu Linlang broke through the adultery between Zhao Chu and Yun Xiaomei by accident, but was murdered to silence her, and then she explained the process of framing her.

Zhao Chu was tied up and his hair was messed up.

After Emperor Changde heard this, he was furious and sent someone to call Miss Yun over.

After Xiaomei Yun came and went here anxiously, she was met with a strong slap from Emperor Changde.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that you are here so late and so lively!" Gu Shiyin led Feng Xihe to and fro here, Feng Xihe yawned and looked at the scene here with great interest.

After them, Concubine Zhang De and other concubines also rushed over.

"Your Majesty, listen to my concubine!" Tears welled up in Yun Xiaomei's eyes. Seeing that the matter had come to this point, she could no longer deny it, so she simply knelt down in front of Emperor Changde.

"Your Majesty, my concubine and Zhao Houye are in love with each other, now, my concubine only asks you to let us both die together.

Emperor Changde's complexion became even more serious, a small concubine was so bold as to ask to live and die with his lover.

Even if it was death, he would never let the two of them die together.

"Father, I implore these two murderers to be severely punished, so that Lin Lang's dead soul can rest in peace." Gu Jincheng restrained his face and slowly retreated to one side. Now, he pushed Zhao Chu and Yun Xiaomei out, and he was a A good brother who advocates justice for his sister.

Emperor Changde lowered his eyes, waved his hand, and signaled Gu Jincheng to keep quiet.

Afterwards, Emperor Changde put his hands on his forehead, and his heart was full of anger and sadness. In just one day, so many things happened, and his two concubines were also involved.He was really exhausted.

Feng Xihe silently glanced at Gu Jincheng, thinking, Gu Jincheng's move also shows that he has nothing to do with the Zhao family.

But how could she let Gu Jincheng get what she wanted?

Emperor Changde seemed to be very angry.He held his chest and coughed several times. The eunuch beside him hurried over to help him pat his back.

"Zhao Aiqing, although today is different from the past, I had high hopes for you, but I never expected that you would carry me behind your back..." His fingers trembled slightly, and he pointed at Zhao Chu.

Zhao Chu saw that little sister Yun was going to drag her to die together, and thought to himself, this bitch, even now, still won't let him go.

"Your Majesty, I know my mistake." After a while, Zhao Chu kowtowed his head to the ground, his voice was sincere, "It is true that I and Mistress Yun are old acquaintances, but I think I have nothing to do to Mistress Yun."

"However, she met the Empress Dowager through Anle County Lord, and after being appreciated by the Empress Dowager, she actually entered the palace... I know that I shouldn't have any unreasonable thoughts about the concubines in the harem, but the empress is obsessed with it!"

His eyes were full of pain, Xiaomei Yun felt as if she was hit by a bolt from the blue.

"Zhao Chu, have you forgotten your promise to me?" Yun Xiaomei felt that she had fallen to the bottom. She looked at Zhao Chu and shook her head vigorously.

Zhao Chu's expression was slightly confused, he asked in confusion: "What promise? I don't know what your mother is talking about?"

Feng Xihe asked with a smile: "Miss Yunpin, are you still deceiving yourself and others? Master Zhao has already said that it was you who were greedy for vanity that abandoned him and entered the palace."

Concubine Zhang De was very sorry and said: "Sister Yunpin, you are really confused! But, when I get along with you on weekdays, I think you are a calm person, so how could you do such dirty things. "

"Tell me carefully, is there any hidden secret in it? For example, what kind of heart did you have when you entered the palace..."

Gu Jincheng saw that Concubine Zhang De was deliberately guiding him, so he couldn't help saying: "Empress De, the biggest secret of Empress Yun has been revealed, don't you think it's not enough?"

Not enough, of course not enough.Concubine Zhang De glanced at Gu Jincheng, thinking.

However, after Miss Yun looked at Zhao Chu in great disappointment, she shook her head stubbornly, and continued according to Zhao Chu's words, "Your Majesty, all mistakes are the fault of my concubine. Please don't blame Lord Zhao!"

When Emperor Changde heard this, he almost couldn't get a mouthful of old blood. On weekdays, he knew Xiaomei Yun to a certain extent, and he still had affection for her in his heart.

If Miss Yun really seduced Zhao Chu, she would never admit it so happily.

His sharp eyes stared at Zhao Chu, which made Zhao Chu feel numb.

Before Zhao Chu could react, Emperor Changde had already pulled out an iron sword and stabbed at Zhao Chu.

Zhao Chu couldn't avoid it and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Yun Xiaomei's pupils suddenly dilated, she walked over on her knees, hugged Emperor Changde's legs, and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, I will kill my concubine. I only beg you to give Marquis Zhao a way out!"

"A way to survive?" Emperor Changde snorted coldly, "Okay, I will abolish him today!"
