Chapter 356 Someone else
"The two girls go, if something happens, how can I feel at ease?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, they go in in front of so many people, unless Uncle Liu Guo really doesn't want face or wants to provoke public anger, otherwise, he will never dare to touch them." Jun Hao persuaded, "Besides, what if it's a trap? Want to lure the emperor forward? Didn't the emperor fall into their tricks?"

"Then you let me just sit and wait like this? The one who disappeared is my brother, and the person who took the risk is my person. How can you make me feel at ease?" Li Tianxiao gritted his teeth and growled.

"Don't worry, your majesty, I have already informed General Chi. The emperor thinks it's better for you to come forward, or for General Chi to come forward?" , Snatch the person out, just say any reason, just say that the beloved daughter is ignorant, General Chi loves the daughter dearly, and the matter is over.

But once the emperor passed by, the nature of the matter was different.

Li Tianxiao also heard it, and after a while, his body went limp, and he slumped on the dragon chair: "You send someone to guard the gate of the uncle's mansion. If there is any abnormality, don't let the two of them have an accident."

Jun Hao nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, nothing will happen."

"Also, send more people to find Yu Gufeng, he is a fine man, it is impossible for something to happen without leaving clues." Now he hopes that Uncle Liu Guo tied up Yu Gufeng in a fit of anger, I'm afraid, it's not Uncle Liu Guo, who is the worst.

An unknown opponent in the dark is more disturbing than a confrontation in the open.

On the other side, Chu Qing and Chi Jiaohu followed Steward Liu into the uncle's mansion, and went straight to the lobby.

Chi Jiaohu was still wearing her wedding gown, just for the convenience of walking, all the phoenix crowns and pearl hairpins on her head were pulled out, and she was holding a flower gun in her hand. The cold air around her made Butler Liu feel uneasy.

I'm afraid that uncle Guo really did something, it's hard to handle at this juncture.

Uncle Liu Guo came late, he is much older than the last time Chu Qing saw him.

With a calm expression, he leaned on a cane.

Seeing him, Steward Liu rushed up to meet him and helped him to sit on the main seat.

Uncle Liu Guo looked at Chu Qing expressionlessly, and when he saw Chi Jiaohu again, he frowned: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Guo, Second Master Yu is gone. The students wanted to ask about it. Uncle Guo saw him today." Naturally, Chu Qing couldn't really say that Uncle Guo had tied up Yu Zufeng.

First, they have no evidence; second, if Liu Guojiu wants to sue them for slander, it will be counterproductive.

Uncle Liu Guo was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Do you think this old man tied him up?"

Chu Qing smiled: "Of course I don't dare, the students just came to ask a question or two."

"Since it is an inquiry, the old man said: I have never seen it." Uncle Liu Guo stood up directly, probably in a bad mood, with a gloomy and haggard face, and stared at Chu Qing urgently, his eyes seemed to be poisonous. Light.

From the very beginning, Chu Qing kept her eyes on Uncle Liu Guo. Seeing his hand holding the cane, the veins on the back of his hand were violent. It didn't seem like he was lying, but he was obviously angry because of their arrival.

But she was not sure if Uncle Liu Guo was acting.

"Why, don't you believe me?" Uncle Liu Guo sneered, "If the old man arrests someone, he will also arrest you. Is it useful for Yu Er to arrest him? Could it be used to threaten the emperor?"

He's not that stupid.

Chi Jiaohu on the side stepped forward directly: "Since Uncle Guo thinks it's not you, why don't we search it?"

Uncle Liu Guo: "Why? If you want to search for Uncle Guo, come here with the emperor's imperial decree and bring the people from Dali Temple. As long as there is evidence to prove that Yu Kuifeng is in the mansion, I will let you search. If you find it, I will directly I will go to Dali Temple with you, whether it is to kill or pass, the old man will not say anything."

Chi Jiaohu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Qing.

Chu Qing fixedly looked at Uncle Liu Guo: "Since Uncle Guo has said so, then so be it."

Uncle Liu Guo didn't expect the other party to give in so easily, and said coldly, "Seeing off the guests."

Chu Qing shook her head: "Since you're here, why don't you offer incense to Mrs. Liu, uncle Guo won't even allow this?"

Uncle Liu Guo lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Qing for a long time before walking out slowly: "Let's go."

Chi Jiaohu was anxious, thinking that Uncle Liu Guo must have done it, besides Uncle Liu and Empress Dowager Liu, who else in the entire capital would have a grudge against the emperor?
Chu lightly shook his head.

After hearing about Yu Kuifeng's accident earlier, the first thing she suspected was Uncle Liu Guo.

But when she really saw Uncle Liu Guo, she began to hesitate.

No matter how anxious Chi Jiaohu was, she also knew that this matter could not be sloppy, so she could only bear with it and followed Chu Qing to the small Buddhist hall.

After Chu Qing went in, she really did obeisance, and after burning incense, she left with Chi Jiaohu.

As soon as Chi Jiaohu left the country's uncle's residence, he met General Chi's men, and a group of people came up to meet him. Chi Jiaohu was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Master Yu, why did you come out?"

Chu Qing took Chi Jiaohu into the carriage, and after entering, her complexion became serious: "I'm afraid... it wasn't Liu Guojiu's people who tied him up this time."

"What's going on?" In the carriage, General Chi was also there, and he brought people here as soon as he got the news.

However, it is inconvenient to make a big fanfare, so he did not show up.

Chu Qing: "I was also anxious before, but now that I think about it, the letter is wrong. It mentioned three murder cases, and one case will be solved within a day. Otherwise, I will take something from Second Young Master Yu. The other party's tone Too arrogant and willful, but this is too different from Liu Guojiu today, no one under Liu Guojiu dares to do this, this is one of them."

General Chi and Chi Jiaohu were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered that when Chu Qing didn't break up with Uncle Liu, he was the first person under Uncle Liu, and Uncle Liu always had someone stronger than Chu Qing around him. , and will not trust her anymore, so this kind of competition that is obviously losing is not something that Uncle Liu can do.

But is Uncle Liu Guo in this state, is it possible?
General Chi couldn't help worrying, it would be even worse if it wasn't for Uncle Liu: "What's the second?"

Chu Qing: "I saw that the hem of Uncle Liu Guo's robe was stained with a lot of incense ash, and the sandalwood fragrance on his body was also extremely strong. I went to the small Buddhist hall and saw Mrs. Liu's memorial tablet behind the screen. There is a soft couch. The censer is also stained with a thick layer of new ash, probably because Uncle Liu Guo has been in the small Buddhist hall before."

"What does this mean?" General Chi asked puzzled.

"The general may not know that there has been a misunderstanding between Mrs. Liu and Uncle Liu these years, and Mrs. Liu was indirectly killed by the Empress Dowager Liu. What Mrs. Liu hates the most is what Uncle Liu has done for Mrs. Liu these years. Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Guojiu to do this in front of Mrs. Liu.” With several possibilities in front of him, Liu Guojiu’s suspicion is much smaller.

Chi Jiaohu's eyes were red: "Who else could it be if it wasn't Uncle Liu Guo? Who else could kill Gu Feng?"

Chu Qing also couldn't figure it out, now that Empress Dowager Liu is imprisoned in Kunning Palace, who else would want to oppose the emperor?

Or is it just for yourself this time?

But except for Uncle Liu Guo, she really didn't offend anyone so much that someone put so much effort into harming her in this way.

What's more, saying that it was harming her, she didn't lose anything in this way.

It's more like using Yu Banfeng and her hand to target... the emperor?
Chu Qing had a headache, and looked at the worried General Chi and Chi Jiaohu: "Don't worry, I will bring Mr. Yu back safely." She cupped her hands, knowing that time was running out, and asked the carriage to put her in the palace for the nearest One way, he got on his horse directly and headed towards the palace at a high speed.

Li Tianxiao got the news as soon as Chu Qing entered the palace, and directly issued a few orders to allow the other party to enter the palace on horseback. Chu Qing arrived at the imperial study room unimpeded.

Turning over and getting off the horse, after entering, he found that not only Li Tianxiao, but also Jun Hao and Lang Feng were there.

Chu Qing didn't say much, and said directly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Uncle Liu Guo did not do this." She repeated the previous explanation to General Chi, spread out the letter, and handed it to Li Tianxiao.

After Li Tianxiao and the others read it, hearing the confident tone in the letter, he frowned deeply: "But besides Uncle Liu Guo, who else could it be?"

Chu Qing rubbed his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, I have a bold guess."

"Huh?" Several people looked at Chu Qing.

"I suspect this matter... It is more likely that Empress Dowager Liu will bypass Uncle Liu to do it." Chu Qing took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Why do you think so?" Li Tianxiao was stunned for a while, puzzled.

Jun Hao also asked: "That's right, the old temptress is now imprisoned in Kunning Palace, and she can't get out at all. Most of the affairs in the court these years have been intervened by Uncle Liu, and Uncle Liu's people are now restrained by the emperor. How else would she make a move?"

Chu Qing: "But there has been a falling out between them. Although Liu Guojiu is still stubbornly resisting for the sake of the Liu family, the emperor must not forget that because of Liu Deqian's matter, the Empress Dowager Liu has long since distrusted Liu Guojiu. "

The three of them were startled, and fell silent inexplicably: "..."

Chu Qing continued: "What's more, after so many years, with Queen Mother Liu's vicious temperament, if I don't believe her, I really didn't leave any escape for myself." No more resistance?
I didn't think it before, but now, it's too abnormal.

"What do you mean?" The three of them were inexplicably surprised by Chu Qing's reminder.

Something flashed through Li Tianxiao's mind, but the thought passed quickly and he was not caught.

Chu Qingdao: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the men in black who suddenly appeared to rob people on the day Liu Deqian was executed? Those people had strange skills, obviously they were not Liu Guojiu's people, they were more likely to help the Empress Dowager Liu, but those people Who is it? How did Empress Dowager Liu contact her?"

Chu Qing's words sounded like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears.

Li Tianxiao frowned: "You mean, Empress Dowager Liu can still communicate with the outside world?"

Chu Qing hummed: "No guarantee, but she has been in power in the palace for so many years, it is impossible for her to have people who are really useless by her side." The ones who changed were also people from the palace, so there was no guarantee that they would not be bribed.
