Chapter 499

When Gu Jinzhi came back from his uncle's house, he had been thinking deeply.

It is undoubtedly a conspiracy that the eldest brother is in deep trouble.

The people involved in this conspiracy are firstly uncle and elder brother, then the dead maid Shuijin and her brother-in-law, and the other is Shuntian Mansion Yinhou Changsheng.

And everything pointed to the uncle's position as chief assistant.

The emperor could die at any moment.

It is impossible to change the prince again.

All, the current crown prince Yan Ze will soon be the Supreme Being in the world.

Before the emperor died, he would probably ask Gu.Like the uncle, he must be one of the Tuogu ministers.

The so-called filial piety, "the father dies, the son does not change his way for three years."

Calculating in this way, the uncle will definitely be able to serve as the chief assistant for another three years.

Three years must be long and unbearable for the impatient prince; his mentor, Yuan Yuye, can't wait to take over, and the uncle's position of chief assistant needs to be given up as soon as possible.

In this way, the core of this storm is the crown prince!

Yuan Yuye was the one behind the scenes.

Gu Jinzhi couldn't sit still.

It was almost at Haizheng, and there was a curfew in the city, so I couldn't walk anymore.

Gu Jinzhi still called the maid Bifan: "Go to the outer courtyard, call Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun in, and say that I have something important to discuss with them."

Bi Fan said yes, and left in response.

Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun were a little cautious about entering the inner courtyard so late.Unlike Chen Dingwen, they don't often go to the inner courtyard.And now that it was late at night, it was even more disturbing.

These two are honest people.

Although Gu Jinzhi always acted decently and looked for them.It must be business.But the taboo towards the inner house still came to my mind.

Gu Jinzhi met them in the main hall.

In the main hall, there is a screen with red sandalwood branches on the branches of the rich and honored ruyi sparrows, blocking the view.

Gu Jinzhi sat behind the screen, his shadow was vague, and he couldn't see the two guards clearly.

In this way, everyone was relieved.

They came in and saluted Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi asked someone to move the grand master's chair for them to sit on, and asked the maid to serve tea.

After they sat down, the maid served tea.Gu Jinzhi's voice came slowly from behind the screen.

"...Before the prince said, there are Mongolian stragglers in Beijing. They are dead soldiers with high martial arts skills. Do you know where to find them again?" Gu Jinzhi asked Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun.

The two of them didn't know this, and were slightly surprised.Hastily dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer, they glanced at each other.

Gu Jinzhi's question is a bit taboo, because it is not something that can be said casually.Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun usually followed Zhu Zhongjun, with tight mouths.

King Luyang's rules.It is loyal and cautious.

Zhu Jiayun winked at Shi Cang and asked Shi Cang to come forward to answer.

Shi Cang stood up.Taking two steps forward, he replied: "Princess, those Mongolian dead soldiers of the prince were all found from the west. They didn't dare to walk in the capital blatantly. If they caught them, they would beheaded without interrogation."

"No." Gu Jinzhi's voice subsided slightly, and his majesty suddenly appeared, "The prince once went to see them overnight. The matter was settled before dawn. If the prince hadn't entered the palace, I would ask him face to face. You don't have to hide it. What is the prince?" Tell me everything."

Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun were silent again.

Why ask us when we tell you everything?

This is a clumsy lie, both Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun thought.

Gu Jinzhi didn't hurry to rush them either.

Zhu Jiayun had no choice but to step forward and asked: "Princess, what do you want to do with them? Master Chen and the prince may know, but the two subordinates don't know."

"I want to send someone to break into the prison in Shuntian Mansion. You don't have to kill people, just arrest them." Gu Jinzhi said, "Can you finish it before dawn?"

Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun's expressions changed slightly again.

Zhu Jiayun also stood up, stepped forward and stood side by side with Shicang.

I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle.

The concubine is giving them a hot potato, they don't want to pick it up, and they can't pick it up.

"Princess, do you want to save Prince Xiping?" Shi Cang asked directly.

They also heard about Gu Chenzhi's arrest.

This incident has spread throughout Beijing.

"No, I want the witness, the brother and sister-in-law of the deceased." Gu Jinzhi said, "I heard that the witness is also in prison today. Waiting for further interrogation tomorrow. After tomorrow, the witness can go home. In addition to the witness, I also I need the corpse of Prince Xipinghou’s case. Don’t worry about Prince Xiping, and don’t let him escape, leave him to the jailer. Burn the prison in Shuntian Mansion for me..."

Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun inhaled slightly.

Being so arrogant at the emperor's feet, if it is not found in the end, the crime may still be placed on Gu Yantao's head.

A woman is a disservice to others, Shi Cang thought to himself.

The prince is not at home, so he can't listen to her random ideas.

Otherwise, the prince will be implicated.

The prince always told them to be careful.

Now is the time of chaos, so don't wade into muddy waters.

Shicang always thinks of Zhu Zhongjun.

"Princess, my subordinates and others can't do it." Shi Cang replied again, adding a bit of toughness, "The lord always teaches his subordinates and others to behave with restraint. The case of Xipinghou's son will come to light sooner or later, Wangfei can rest assured. …”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the rustling voice behind the screen.

Gu Jinzhi got up and walked out from behind the screen.

The candlelight cast a dense light on her face.

She looked serious, with a bit of sullenness.

Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun involuntarily took two steps back and lowered their heads.

A scent lingered slowly, and as she approached, the two guards felt panicked.

Gu Jinzhi walked to Shi Cang's side.

Shi Cang quickly lowered his head.

"How long have you been by the prince's side?" Gu Jinzhi asked Shi Cang.

"Ten years!" Shi Cang said.After finishing speaking, he himself was also taken aback for a while, unknowingly, he had been following the prince for a full ten years.During these ten years, the prince took him with him no matter where he went.Protect the prince with you.

He is one of the prince's most trusted guards.

Today, he is already one of the four deputy commanders of the palace guards.

This time when he went to Beijing, the prince was very afraid that Tan You's people would take the opportunity to sneak attack, so he brought him along with Zhu Jiayun, Chen Dingwen and others.

Otherwise, Shicang must stay in Luzhou.

"...In the past ten years, have you ever seen me act recklessly?" Gu Jinzhi asked Shi Cang, "Have you ever seen the prince refute my words?"

Shi Cang was slightly taken aback.

Aside from the concubine, it is indeed her strength to act calmly.And the prince loves her very much, not only the people in Luzhou Palace know this.The whole world knows it.

The king of Luyang loves his wife as much as his life.

Shicang, who has been by Wang Ye's side for ten years, is the clearest.

"You are the prince's favorite general, and I appreciate your talent." Gu Jinzhi's tone slowed down, "I don't want to be against you. If you keep forgetting, besides the prince, who else is the master of this palace?" .Our small temple can't accommodate your big Buddha."

"Princess, before dawn, my subordinates and others will definitely finish what you ordered." Zhu Jiayun who was silent at the side said suddenly.

He was afraid that if he continued talking, the concubine and Shi Cang would really have a conflict.

The prince loves the princess very much.Everyone knows this.

When the prince came back, the princess sued Shicang for being disrespectful.Even if Shicang is no longer capable, the prince will not be able to keep him.

Shicang has been with the prince for a long time, but he doesn't understand the style.He could never understand why the prince obeyed the princess in everything and offered her as a treasure.

Zhu Jiayun understood.He also has a wife.

He listened to Wang Hao's tone, she had made up her mind, and persuasion was useless.Therefore, I wish Jiayun to agree.

Gu Jinzhi turned his face and glanced at Zhu Jiayun.He smiled and said, "It's getting late, hurry up and get it done."

Zhu Jiayun said yes.

"When it's done, come in and tell me no matter what time it is." Gu Jinzhi said again.

Zhu Jiayun said yes again.Seeing that Shi Cang wanted to say something, he stepped on Shi Cang's foot hard without showing any signs.

Shicang gasped in pain, and looked at Zhu Jiayun angrily.

Seeing that Zhu Jiayun was winking at him, Shi Cang understood in his heart and stopped talking.

The two left the main courtyard.

After giving orders to Shi Cang and Zhu Jiayun, Gu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

She went back to the back room.

Tongtong was already asleep, and wet nurse Liu was taking care of her.

Gu Jinzhi came in and said to Nurse Liu, "Go to bed too."

Nurse Liu said yes, and withdrew.

Gu Jinzhi looked at the chiming clock, and it was almost midnight.

Zhu Zhongjun will not be coming back tonight.He did not come back, indicating that the emperor has not closed his eyes.The crown prince wants to deal with Gu Yantao before the emperor closes his eyes. Therefore, the elder brother's case cannot be delayed, it can only be faster.

The elder brother may be tortured and beaten in prison.When it comes to framing people, torture is just an appearance, and they don't care what to ask, anyway, the charges have already been fabricated.This is how Zhu Zhongjun dealt with Tan You not long ago, and now the retribution is on Gu Jinzhi's elder brother.

The eldest brother is so weak, he may not be able to withstand torture.

Today, my aunt, in front of all the guests and Brother Xuan, said to Gu Jinzhi: "Don't worry for now, wait until your uncle leaves the palace and then figure out a solution."

It will be too late to think of a solution after the uncle leaves the palace.At that time, the eldest brother was beaten half to death, the evidence was fabricated, and the witnesses were protected. It was too late.

Hou Changsheng, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, has been bribed, there is no doubt about it, don't take chances. .

The uncle's disciples said that Hou Changsheng was loyal.This is nothing more than self-comfort and shirk responsibility when they can't find a solution.

Gu Jinzhi freshened up and went to bed with loose hair.

Tongtong in the bed slept peacefully.

But Gu Jinzhi couldn't sleep.

She was worried about her eldest brother and Zhu Zhongjun in the palace, her heart was up and down, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

The chiming clock is ticking.

Gu Jinzhi heard the bell ringing from Zichu, to Zizheng, then to Chouchu, Chouzheng, and then to Yinchu and Yinzheng.She looked at the roof of the tent embroidered with auspicious red luan, with far-reaching eyes.

Just after Yinzheng three quarters, Gu Jinzhi heard a knock on the courtyard door.

She got up all at once.

The lady on duty had already gone to answer the door.

Gu Jinzhi called Dai He, the maid on duty who was sleeping outside: "Go and see, is it the prince who is back, or Lord Shi and the guards?"
