Chapter 45 The Right and the Wrong

After hearing Si Qing's words, Cheng Yingzhou still said: "Your Highness's words, I don't quite understand."

Siqing suddenly smiled, "I see, you go down."

At night, Gu Liangfen took the letter from Siqing and went to the South Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to find the official surnamed Huang. The official surnamed Huang lowered the brim of his hat and said softly: "I have been removed from the Ministry of Criminal Justice today. If you don't come again, I will I don’t even know what to say. Come with me.”

Gu Liangfen was skeptical, secretly clenched the hilt of his sword, and walked the streets and alleys with the hall official surnamed Huang from a secluded place, all the way to the east of the city.

Gu Liangfen asked: "Isn't Wenchang Palace in front?"

Huang surnamed Tang Guan said: "The South Prison of the Ministry of Punishment can't be closed. Some of them have been transferred to the Wucheng Bingmasi Prison, and some are patrolling the Fifth Battalion. Come with me."

The two walked to a house, and the hall official surnamed Huang came forward to negotiate with the guards, beckoning for Gu Liangfen to follow.

"This is not patrolling the Fifth Battalion." Gu Liangfen had doubts.

The Tang official surnamed Huang said: "It's too eye-catching to go directly to the Fifth Battalion for patrolling and arresting. There is a corridor to pass through here."

The two entered the courtyard, the courtyard was quiet, and there was indeed a corridor on the left.Walking along the corridor, it turned out to be a darkroom.

Gu Liangfen asked: "Authentic?"

The hall official surnamed Huang said: "You just come with me."

The two entered the tunnel from the darkroom, walked two steps, and saw many cells, but they were all empty.

The hall official surnamed Huang opened a door and gave Gu Liangfen a key: "People are inside, you go quickly, I am here to watch the wind. Remember, you only have time for a cup of tea, and there may be patrolling guards coming over later."

"It's not about finding a death row prisoner from the Southern Prison of the Ministry of Punishment to replace him. What if we get here..."

"I have my own way, you go quickly."

Gu Liangfen had no choice but to turn around and go in. Unexpectedly, he had just walked a few steps, when the door opened by the hall official surnamed Huang suddenly heard the sound of locking.When Gu Liangfen turned his head, there was no one outside.

It was nearly midnight, and the moonlight was excellent.It was very quiet in Qingxi Garden, Siqing was standing by the pool alone looking at the moon.

Ling Zhen came over and asked, "Miss, are you still asleep?"

Siqing asked, "What do you want to say?"

Ling Zhen said: "Girl...you can't do that well, can you?"

Si Qing said: "You don't know, my brother likes to tear me down when he's a kid, now there is such a good opportunity for me to take revenge, how can I let it go?"

"But this is really..." Ling Zhen couldn't help but said, "It's really..."

Si Qing sighed: "I also did this to cut off his thoughts completely, and also for his own good."

Ling Zhen said: "If it's for Mr. Gu's benefit, why don't you tell him directly?"

"I told him that he would definitely not listen to me," Siqing said helplessly, "I can't find someone to tie him up so that he can't go out, right?"

"What's the difference between you doing this and finding someone to tie him up?" Lingzhen asked.

Siqing sighed, "My good sister, you are really my Omen star. By the way, what time is it now? You can go to Lao Cheng to send a message."

Cheng Yingzhou had originally agreed with Gu Liangfen that if it happened, he would leave a mark on the wall near Wenchang Palace in the east of the city.Unexpectedly, at nightfall and at the appointed hour, Gu Liangfen's mark did not appear.

Cheng Yingzhou anxiously returned to the Habayashi Guardhouse near Wenchang Palace. The night guard at the guardhouse bowed and reported, "My lord, a girl has left you a letter."

Cheng Yingzhou opened the letter, his complexion changed drastically, and he strode towards the back of the guard.

Gu Liangfen was imprisoned in an unknown dungeon for no reason, and he tried the key given to him by the hall official surnamed Huang, but it didn't work, so he quickly figured out where there might be omissions.He thought to himself that it was unlikely that Cheng Yingzhou would betray him—the person Si Qing dared to bring out to meet Wu Zhenying was undoubtedly her own cronies.Then the biggest possibility is that Siqing set a trap and traps herself.

Gu Liangfen was not searched when he was locked up, and there was no guard in this dungeon, so he took out the silver needle he carried with him and began to pick the lock.After snapping off two silver needles, the lock was finally pried open.Gu Liangfen got up and patted the ashes and was about to slip away when suddenly footsteps came.He hurriedly tried to close the lock as if nothing happened, but two silver needles broke in the keyhole just now, and the lock could not be closed for a while.

Gu Liangfen was in a hurry when Cheng Yingzhou's voice came, "Mr. Gu?!"

Gu Liangfen was still holding the pried lock in his hand, he forced his head up and smiled unnaturally: "Commander Cheng is here, that... this lock..."

"It's really Mr. Gu." Cheng Yingzhou didn't notice the problem with the lock, and asked, "Is Mr. Gu okay?"

Gu Liangfen replied, "I'm fine," Fu smiled, "Or was she seen through? The arrangement was so careful... She must have started the layout before Commander Cheng came to the restaurant to meet me."

Cheng Yingzhou didn't know how to answer the words for a while, Gu Liangfen said again: "I still want to thank you tonight. I will find another way about Uncle Fu. You also persuade her, don't have to fold yourself in. Then you..."

Cheng Yingzhou said: "Okay, then I will take Mr. Gu out."

Gu Liangfen originally wanted to ask what Cheng Yingzhou would do if Siqing pursued Cheng Yingzhou.But after thinking about it, if Ruo Siqing insisted on accusing Cheng Yingzhou of cheating, there was nothing she could do, so she sighed softly.

Gu Liangfen bid farewell to Cheng Yingzhou near Wenchang Palace, and went back to the martial residence in the south of the city.Uncle Lu saw it and asked: "How is it? Where is the person?"

"It didn't work," Gu Liangfen said, "Uncle Lu, please go to the reception house and ask Old Man Wu to come back."

Wu Zhenying came very quickly, as soon as he entered, Gu Liangfen laughed and said, "Siqing saw through."

Wu Zhenying quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"I was seen through by her," Gu Liangfen said. "I originally thought that Commander Cheng would not be able to hide from her for long, so I would have a better chance of succeeding if I act quickly. Who knew that she had already set up a trap, waiting for me to sneak in. , and gave me a hard time."

Wu Zhenying sighed, "What should we do now?"

Gu Liangfen said helplessly: "I don't know either, you can't go and hold Duan Wang's family hostage?"

When Cheng Yingzhou came to meet Si Qing early the next morning, the atmosphere was very dignified, and Si Qing said coldly: "You are so old-fashioned, I have an idea for you, you two just rush into the South Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and rob the prison. Anyway, you He is good at skills, and he is not bad, those people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice can stop the two of you?"

Ling Zhen hurriedly said softly at the side: "Girl, don't talk nonsense."

Cheng Yingzhou bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Siqing said helplessly, "I know, but you still feel in your heart that you did the right thing."

"I dare not." Cheng Yingzhou said hastily.

"If you don't dare, then make a rule," Siqing said, "Next time you dare to act behind my back, you will go back to the Shenji camp outside the city and don't come back."

Cheng Yingzhou had no choice but to agree.

Si Qing suddenly asked: "I can't figure it out, this matter is my private matter, why did you risk your life to help me take this risk?"

Cheng Yingzhou didn't answer, Siqing sighed and said, "Go ahead, Jingwei must not relax recently."

The past few days have been extremely long, and there is still no news from King Duan at night, so Ling Zhen asked Si Qing: "Your Highness has already talked about this, why is Prince Duan still not letting go?"

"He was afraid that some of the people sent by the King of Anping would have Ding Fan's eyeliner. Once they were released, it would be detrimental to the court."

"Even if they are released, they will be carefully reviewed?"

"Do you think the Ministry of Criminal Justice can easily interrogate Dingfan's well-trained spies among the people? Besides, how careful is it? Is it careful to find out that Uncle Fu is the fish that slipped through the net in the case of Yu Yunhe?"

"Ah?" Lingzhen was startled, "Then you still support the release, so let Mr. Gu replace Mr. Fu."

Si Qing said: "Even if everyone is killed this time, Dingfan will still use other methods to cast new eyeliner on the imperial capital. It's better to let it go, let's keep an eye on it."

Ling Zhen thought for a while and asked: "This idea is very good, why didn't you tell Prince Duan?"

Siqing asked back, "Who will follow?"

Lingzhen suddenly realized, "You asked Lu Chu and the others to go to the military guards of the government, so that you can fight secretly with Dingfan in the future?"

Si Qing said: "That's right, although the two years of war have gone smoothly, we can't let up. The king of Anping County and the British Duke are not in harmony in the front, and we are not in harmony with King Duan in the rear. Ding Fan has been repeatedly defeated in the front war Frustrated, there is no guarantee that they will not have other thoughts in the dark. We have to be prepared, and if we want to follow this time, we must have our people to follow."

Ling Zhen asked softly: "You don't want King Duan to know about the guards of the government army, and you don't want King Duan to intervene?"

"That's right," Siqing nodded, "King Duan recommended He Shouzhi, and something happened to Shen Yuanxi out of nowhere. Who knows if King Duan got mixed up with the He family? I can't trust anyone except ourselves. Said As for the guard of the government army, it would be great if the Jiang family sister was here."

Ling Zhen sighed: "Uncle's whereabouts are still unknown, the entire territory of Hunan and Jiangxi has been restored, so I don't know..."

Just as he was talking, Yun Chu hurried in and said, "It's not good, it's not good, Prince Duan is gone!"

Siqing quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Yun Chu said: "Prince Duan's son was kidnapped by gangsters, and his companions were either beaten to death or knocked out. Princess Duan heard this and fainted from anxiety. King Duan sent someone to see His Highness, saying that he would Jingwei help find someone."

Siqing hurriedly said, "Call Lao Cheng."

After Lingzhen went away for a while, she found Cheng Yingzhou.Before Cheng Yingzhou saluted, Siqing said: "I ask you, did my brother say anything when you released him last night?"

Seeing her solemn expression, Cheng Yingzhou thought for a while and said, "Mr. Gu didn't say anything."

"Didn't he say to tell me to wait, or to retaliate?"

"No, absolutely not."

Siqing's complexion changed drastically, "No, it's not like his style of doing things."

Cheng Yingzhou said: "Mr. Gu just said one thing... about Mr. Fu's matter, he will find another way."

"Think of another way?" Siqing's complexion changed drastically, "Well, think of another way! Lingzhen told Tang Peng to fully cooperate with Prince Duan in finding the whereabouts of Eleven."

Lingzhen tentatively asked: "Isn't it more appropriate for General Cheng to go?"

Siqing shook her head, "Old Cheng is going to Guanfang, I have to go to Wuzhai in the south of the city."

This time Siqing went to the Wu Zhai to familiarize herself with the way, the house is not big, there are three rooms on the front, two inverted gray rooms and two wing rooms.Siqing entered the back door of Wu Zhai, and as soon as she got out of the car, she happened to see her elder brother Gu Heng coming out to welcome her.

Gu Liangfen crossed his arms and said lazily: "Long time no see?"

Before everyone could react, Siqing suddenly strode forward, holding a short blade, but the hilt pointed at Gu Liangfen, "Come on, come on, hold me hostage! You held me hostage today, let alone letting Uncle Fu go, even if you let Uncle Fu go!" No one dares to stop the rampage of the Imperial Capital! Why are you still standing there! Hold me hostage!"

Gu Liangfen was puzzled, and backed away, "Is there something wrong with your mind? Yesterday, you made trouble with me and I haven't settled with you yet? Why are you here out of nowhere today!"

At this time, both Xiachu and Cheng Yingzhou understood that Siqing thought that Gu Liangfen had kidnapped Prince Duan's son, and wanted to hold Prince Duan loose.

Cheng Yingzhou was at the side when the two of them met last time, so Cheng Yingzhou had some understanding of how the two of them talked.But Cheng Yingzhou didn't expect that the two brothers and sisters would be on edge as soon as they met this time, and he didn't know whether to persuade them or not.

At this time Wu Zhenying heard the movement and came out, and said with a smile, "Siqing is here? What's the matter?"

Siqing didn't know if Wu Zhenying helped Gu Liangfen kidnap Prince Duan's son, so she said vaguely, "Ask him."

"Ask me?" Gu Liangfen took another step back, "How do I know? Uncle, let's not talk about what happened yesterday. When we met just now, she held a dagger and insisted on letting me hold her hostage! Tell me, What's the point of this?"

Before Wu Zhenying could react, Siqing stared at Gu Liangfen, feeling that he was not pretending, so she asked, "You really didn't do it?"
