Chapter 138 Search
(second update)
Gu Bai did not speak any further. It was not until Emperor Tianshun nodded that he respectfully retreated, then left with great strides and returned to the Jinyiwei to mobilize his troops.
The Minister of Justice received Liu Xiang's eyes and said he left the palace and went back to take people to Liu's mansion.
The two men met at the Liu family and went to the yard of Mrs. Liu Si's backyard together.
After plundering, there was no evidence.
When the Minister of Justice heard the notice from his subordinates, he was relieved silently.
Gu Bai frowned, what the hell is that woman doing?
The search was almost done, and the tense expression of the Minister of Justice had already melted away. He pinched his cuffs to make a decision, but he saw an Jinyiwei suddenly carrying someone out.
"Sir, my subordinates found this woman in the prime minister's wood room. She was originally a second-class maid serving the Fourth Lady." The Jinyiwei spoke respectfully at Gu Bai.
The Jinyiwei was ordered to search the Fourth Lady's yard at the beginning. On the way, he noticed a maid's suspicious behavior, so he followed him and followed him to a woodshed. He saw a person hidden inside. After asking, he realized that the maid was originally a maid next to the Fourth Lady.
The maid's hands and feet were tied up, and the stuff that was stuffed in her mouth had been taken off. She saw Liu Xiang in the crowd and knelt on the ground with a thud, crying: "Prince, the eldest lady is going to kill someone. You should save me quickly. I don't want to die!"
Liu He looked embarrassed, but he could not execute someone like he was dealing with Chu Hong. He said coldly: "Nonsense! The eldest lady has always been lenient to others. You must have made a mistake and she will punish you. Besides, if she really wants to kill you, can you still live now?"
When Chu Yu saw that Liu Xiang didn't believe it, he suddenly thought of what Chu Hong said during his lifetime. He was disheartened for a moment. The fourth wife left and no one in the prime minister's house could protect them.
"I... I have evidence to prove that the eldest lady wants to kill me." Chu Yu suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at her and waited for her to continue talking.
Liu Xiang clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he stared at Chu Yu, as if she dared to say something she shouldn't have said, he would kill her.
Chu Yu noticed the threat in his eyes and shivered in fear, but suddenly his face turned fierce: "Prince, you killed Chu Hong, do you still want to continue killing people to silence me now?"
The air seemed to condense into ice in an instant.
A hidden weapon slashed through the air, and the sound of a nail stabbed Chu Yu's chest.
Gu Bai noticed the danger and slapped Chu Yu away, but still hit the vital point.
Chu Yu didn't expect death to come so quickly. She opened her mouth and pointed at Liu Xiang: "Fourth Lady...Fourth Lady and her family work hard for you...framed others... Seeing that the matter was revealed...but you...but you...re going to kill us to silence you...Fourth Lady will definitely not let you go!"
After Chu Yu finished speaking, he tilted his head and fainted.
Gu Bai knelt down on one knee to support the person. When he heard this, he raised his eyes and stared at Liu He with a sharp and compulsive gaze. The corners of his lips slowly curled: "It seems that it's not just the Fang family who has doubts."
Liu He: "..."
He clenched his fists, and almost vomited blood when he heard Gu Baiming's shaking intentions.
Gu Bai asked the Jinyiwei to take Chu Yu's body back. He immediately went to the palace to ask for instructions and personally interrogated the Fang family.
Emperor Tianshun immediately approved the report.
When the Jinyiwei took people to the Ministry of Justice to recommend people, eight people in the Fang family were imprisoned, including Mr. Fang, Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Shao, all died in prison.
The case was interrupted and confusing.
Liu Xiang even went into the palace and knelt in the imperial study room and cried and told someone that he had framed the Liu family, otherwise how could he have just pointed out someone to him and Fang's family was killed.
Gu Bai: "..." If he hadn't known Nalan Jing's plan before he knew that Chu Yu had confessed to the involvement of the Fang family and Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang would have killed someone to silence him, and he would have suspected the cause of the Fang family's death.
As Nalan Jing expected, Liu He would definitely sacrifice a small Fang family to protect the Liu family.
Liu Xiang took action in advance to end the Fang family, which was better than letting them fall into Gu Bai's hands and go to the imperial prison, which involved more unfavorable things to the Liu family. Now there is no evidence in the hands of the Jinyiwei. It is so naive to try to convict Liu Xiang based on just a few words from a second-class maid!
However, their purpose was not to destroy the Liu family through this incident, but to lead the snake out of the hole.
Fang Wenjing is that snake.
Emperor Tianshun originally wanted to question Liu Xiang, but when he heard his cry and the arguments between the ministers, he could only comfort him for a while and asked the Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate and return the Liu Xiang family to the name of innocence.
Gu Bai knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Fang family is dead, but Fang Wenjing is still on the run. His subordinates ask for an order and offer a high reward for the resentful criminal of the fourth prince in various places - Mrs. Liu Si!"
"..." Liu He was so angry that he stared at him again, then quickly lowered his fierce eyes and lowered his face.
"..." All the ministers admired the commander of the Jinyiwei. The Liu family had been in power for many years. This was the first time they saw someone who was not afraid of death who dared to touch Liu Xiang's rebellious scales again and again.
They could imagine that once the notice was announced to the world, the father-in-law Li's daughter-in-law would be unable to hide the scandal of Mrs. Liu Si.
The Liu family is concerned about face, so how could they let this happen?
Just at this moment, two sounds sounded at the door.
"Empress Dowager, Empress is here!"
"Princess Nanwu is here!"
“…”
The sound fell and the sound of rapid steps came. Everyone saw the queen mother who came in first, while the queen supported her arm.
"Emperor, the Liu family is the Ai family's mother's family and his maternal ancestors' clan. Does Your Majesty really want the Liu family to become the laughing stock of the world?" The empress dowager entered the imperial study and could not hide her anger.
Everyone was shocked, but they did not look at the empress dowager and the queen, and their eyes fell on the woman behind them.
They saw the eldest princess's stunning appearance that had been cold and dusty for ten years, and they all knelt down: "I'll pay homage to the Chief Princess Regent of Nanwu!"
"I'll pay homage to Princess Regent Nanwu!"
“…”
The sounds of shocking sounds made the Empress Dowager and the Queen's faces extremely embarrassed.
No matter how valuable their identities are, they are not as good as Gu Yunan in the eyes of court officials.
This is not the most slap in the face. What makes them even more depressed is Emperor Tianshun's attitude...
Emperor Tianshun's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the eldest princess, and his annoyed expression suddenly disappeared. He walked down from the dragon throne, passed directly over the empress dowager and the queen, walked to the princess, and said intimately: "Sister Emperor, who is disturbing you from entering the palace? Hurry up, prepare the chair for the eldest princess to sit..."
He reached out to support the eldest princess. The eldest princess left his hand and bowed to him before walking to the side where the eunuch had already raised the chair and she sat down.
Emperor Tianshun also thought of the disagreement, and was left with his hands away and shook his face. The expression on his face did not change. His eyes were stuck to the eldest princess, and his face was full of smiles from the inside when he saw his relatives.
