The farmer has a mall

Chapter 76 Hand over Gu Nanyan

Gu Yao returned to the General's Mansion early in the morning, but after an hour, he entered the palace with a cold face and a pale face.

He was already prepared for the fact that King Ning sent the imperial army to surround the General's Mansion.

But it never occurred to him that he, the righteous master, couldn't even enter the house.

One of the guards had served as a soldier under him and told him about the situation in the mansion.

Knowing that his family members were safe for the time being, Gu Yao went to see King Ning aggressively.

King Ning was nearly forty years old and had no beard. His years of arrogance and extravagance made his body fatter.

He sat on the dragon chair, squinting his eyes and looking down at Gu Yao.

"The general's mansion was attacked by assassins after you left. Gu Qing has been fighting abroad all year round and has made great military exploits for our country of Jianan. How can this king stand by and watch? The reason for sending troops to guard is for the safety of everyone in the mansion."

King Ning's voice was a little shrill, and his tone of yin and yang was more like being strangled by the neck.

"The old man would like to thank the prince for his kindness."

There was anger in Gu Yao's voice.

King Ning didn't care, he took a sip of the wine glass in his hand calmly.

"It's just that Deputy General Wang is too conscientious, even the old man is not allowed to enter, which is too much."

According to the rules, the prince can raise [-] private soldiers when he becomes the queen. This Deputy General Wang is the leader of King Ning's private soldiers.

King Ning chuckled, and said indifferently: "The assassin is still in the mansion and has not been found. As a meritorious minister, how can the general put himself in danger? Wang Ting is also thinking about your safety."

"However, this king has something to ask the old general."

King Ning's smiling face suddenly darkened.

"My brother-in-law went out of the city yesterday to greet the general in triumph. I don't know when he made the general angry, so he beheaded him on the spot!"

Yu Luo grabbed the jug on the table and threw it at Gu Yao's head.

Gu Yao leaned sideways to dodge slightly, originally he couldn't hold back his anger, but seeing King Ning's bulging veins, he felt relieved instead.

Sure enough, his good grandson was the most powerful, and grabbed King Ning's seven inches in one fell swoop.

King Ning was able to get to where he is today, he has no ability at all, it is all thanks to the support of Prime Minister Fang.

Fang Junhe has been an official for decades, he is very good at making money, and his followers are unknown.

Every three years in the imperial examination, there must be his students among the top two.

Although many of them were removed by King Sheng, nearly half of the people in the court are still Fang Junhe's faction.

And although Fang Tong is not from his concubine, he is from Fang Junhe's most beloved concubine, and he has always been favored.

What's more, Fang Tong is a trickster, even Princess Ning is extremely pampered to him.

The reason why she sent him out of the city yesterday was that Princess Ning felt that the emperor was among them, and she wanted her younger brother to do a little work with her, so that it would be more justifiable when she was rewarded in the future.

Unexpectedly, Gu Nanyan wiped his neck with a knife during this trip.

Concubine Ning was very sad, she cried and passed out when the corpse was brought into the palace yesterday, and she was ill after waking up, neither eating nor drinking.

When Prime Minister Fang heard the news, he spit out a mouthful of old blood.

He and Gu Yao have always been at odds, and even more so in court.

Hearing reports from his subordinates that a commoner woman killed his son, and hearing that this woman was Gu Yao's granddaughter who had been missing for three years, he was even more furious.

He entered the palace early in the morning and put pressure on King Ning to force Gu Yao to hand over the murderer.

"General Gu was wise for the first time. I didn't expect such a vicious woman to appear in his family. This king also knows that the general can't bear to attack his descendants, so he will hand her over to this king."

Although King Ning couldn't understand how a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken killed Fang Tong who had practiced martial arts since childhood.

But this is not important, what is important is that Fang Jun congratulates the important person, he just needs to hand over the person to him.

How could Gu Yao be willing, he still felt that his granddaughter let out a sigh of relief for him, and it was too late to be happy.

"The prince's words made the old minister puzzled. Fang Tong couldn't hold the knife steadily and wiped his neck. How could he rely on a little girl."

That Fang Tong had brought the blame on himself, even if Sister Nan didn't make a move, he wouldn't let him go.

King Ning was already irritable, but now that Gu Yao was against him everywhere, he was already impatient.

He waved his hand and said: "So many people have seen it, it's useless for Gu Qing to talk too much, I advise you to hand over the person obediently, don't drag the general's family and others."

These words are a threat, the General's Mansion is now in the hands of King Ning, so he is naturally confident.

Gu Yao knew that what he said was deceiving him, after all, even Cui Yanping, who was the closest, hadn't seen Sister Nan make a move.

So he snorted coldly: "Since the lord said that someone saw the old man's granddaughter murder with his own eyes, why don't you invite them here and let the old man ask clearly."

"So what if someone testifies against you?" King Ning said with narrowed eyes.

Gu Yao cheerfully stroked his beard: "If someone testifies and there are real evidence, this general will definitely not protect my good grandson."

He was calm on the face, but actually there was some drumming in his heart.

In the situation at that time, it stands to reason that no one could see it except Mrs. Liu who was standing behind Nan Jie'er.

unless……

As if to confirm his thoughts, Ning Dynasty waved his hand, and saw two imperial guards leading one person into the hall.

The man was dragged in, his body was bloody and his legs were limp and drooping on the ground.

Her hair was clumped together with blood, blocking her eyes, making it impossible to see her face clearly.

Gu Yao frowned, stepped forward and parted his hair.

That bloody face was obviously Xu Shun who was driving Gu Nanyan's car!
Gu Yao's face was livid, not only because Xu Shun was a member of his Northern Army, but also because King Ning was able to arrest someone from the heavily guarded army, it seemed that he was a spy.

What he was even more worried about was that, from the angle Xu Shun stood at that time, it was indeed possible to see Sister Nan make a move.

"The general should recognize who this person is."

Seeing that Gu Yao's expression was solemn, and he was not as relaxed as before, King Ning finally let out a breath of anger.

"This person is a lieutenant general of your Northern Suppressing Army, and you will not doubt his words." He proudly picked up his glass and drank it down.

Gu Yao's face was heavy and he didn't make a sound.

The people under the Ning Dynasty winked, and saw that the man brought a basin of water and splashed it on Xu Shun's face.

Xu Shun was choked and coughed weakly.

He raised his head in a daze, and saw Gu Yao in armor standing beside him, and couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Xu Shun, repeat what you said last night carefully in front of General Gu." King Ning looked at Gu Yao calmly with a smile on his lips.

Xu Shun also looked up, and saw that Gu Yao, who was usually mild-mannered, was full of frost at this moment, and couldn't help but flinch a little.

His timid appearance fell into King Ning's eyes, which made him feel even more comfortable.

The Zhenbei Army has always been tough, and Gu Yao even wrote in the military regulations that a good man bleeds and does not shed tears. Now that such a soft bone has appeared, it is really a slap in the face.

Seeing that Xu Shun was angry for him, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You don't have to be afraid, General Gu is not the kind of person who covers up his relatives regardless of right and wrong, as long as you tell the truth, I forgive you. crime."

Only then did Xu Shun raise his head, his ungrown body trembled into a ball.

Gu Yao sighed, seeing him like this, he couldn't bear to blame him anymore.

After all, he is only a child of thirteen or fourteen years old, one year younger than Sister Nan, so how can he survive the torture that adults cannot bear.

Xu Shun swallowed, and said weakly: "The villain can tell the truth, but there is a condition for the villain."

King Ning didn't expect him to say that, and his brows, which were not so thick, frowned.

"What conditions?"

Xu Shun glanced at Gu Yao again, seemed to be frightened by his aura, trembled again, and quickly retracted his gaze with guilt.

"The villain implores the prince to invite Mr. Fang here."

This Mr. Fang is naturally referring to Prime Minister Fang Fang Junhe.

"What you said is yours, why invite Prime Minister Fang to do it?"

King Ning seemed very impatient, and took another sip of wine to suppress his irritability.

"Master Fang promised the villain back then that as long as I tell the truth, he will let the villain go back to his hometown, and he will also give me a settling allowance..."

These words are afraid that King Ning will regret it later and refuse to admit it.

Violence flashed across King Ning's face, he turned his head and thought, if Prime Minister Fang was also present, one more witness would save Gu Yao from cheating. After thinking for a moment, he asked someone to invite Fang Jun to congratulate him.
