However, the sound of fighting did not last long and stopped.
Gu Xiao moved quickly and directly interrogated several men in black. The other men could not withstand the pressure and confessed to Magistrate Gan at once.
Gu Xiao led people to capture Magistrate Gan overnight.
Because it was so sudden, Magistrate Gan was not prepared at all. Not only did he not escape, but even his family was still there.
Prefect Gan was arrested.
Gu Qingying didn't ask about these matters. She didn't care much about the court affairs.
I came to Qingcheng just to solve Gu Xiao's troubles.
On the carriage back.
Gu Xiao was still recalling the scene where people in Qingcheng lined the streets to say goodbye.
Just thinking about this scene makes me feel happy.
He looked at Gu Qingying with a smile and said: "Qingying, you think everyone still likes me! When we left, the people were very reluctant to leave us!"
Gu Qingying rolled her eyes at Gu Xiao and said, "Brother, please stop talking. How many times have you said it? Just talking about this matter, I have something important to tell you. You should know that I
The purpose of coming back is this!"
Gu Xiao had some guesses in his mind.
I could only sigh and say: "I understand what you are thinking. No matter what you want to do, I will support you! Do you want me to follow you to Beiliang Kingdom?"
In fact, he was a little reluctant to leave Tianyuan Kingdom.
After all, it is a bit uncomfortable for a native of Tianyuan country to suddenly leave.
Gu Qingying said seriously: "You, Jingyi and your children must come with me. If you don't leave, you will definitely have no chance in the future."
Finally, he added: "You know what he is like."
Of course he was referring to Li Cangjue.
Gu Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable.
Said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if Jingyi and I stay, he won't do anything to us!"
Gu Qingying was afraid that Gu Xiao would think so.
He said more seriously: "Dad and I are worried. What if he puts you under house arrest, or takes away the leverage you and Jingyi used to threaten me? Brother, I know you are reluctant to let go of Tianyuan Kingdom, but is this the time to be reluctant to let go?"
She was still a little angry when she said these words.
No matter what, I felt that Gu Xiao was a little confused.
Gu Xiao was just talking.
Although I had a little thought in my heart, I still felt a little guilty when I saw that Gu Qingying was really angry.
He comforted her awkwardly: "Sister, don't be angry! I actually didn't mean that!"
Gu Qingying was too lazy to argue with Gu Xiao and said seriously: "I have made it clear to Jingyi. Jingyi agrees to follow me and we will leave after returning to the imperial city."
By the way, she wanted to enter the palace to see the emperor.
Talk to the emperor personally about this matter.
When Gu Xiao heard Li Jingyi agreed, he immediately became active: "Are you sure you want to take us away? Are you going to leave as soon as you return to the imperial city?"
Gu Qingying and the others were gone for a few days.
On the road, I met the officers and soldiers who came to support me.
The officers and soldiers could only follow him back to the imperial city.
Gu Xiao returns.
Many people are eyeing the General's Mansion again.
Gu Qingying was delayed for almost a month before going out this time.
The weather is gradually getting hotter.
Li Jingyi pestered Gu Qingying about suppressing bandits.
Gu Qingying didn't mention the bloody side.
But some interesting points were added with added detail.
Li Jingyi listened with great interest.
After Gu Xiao sent Lin Jiang and the others to the Yamen, he returned to the General's Mansion to bathe and change clothes. He wanted to enter the palace to see the emperor.
Gu Qingying also wanted to go with him.
On the way back, the brother and sister had already discussed it.
Both of them decided to go to the emperor to explain themselves when they came back.
Resign!
Gu Xiao decided to find the emperor and tell him about it.
On the way into the palace, I met Li Cangjue.
Gu Qingying didn't even spare a glance to Li Cangjue.
This made Li Cang extremely unhappy.
He directly asked Shunzi behind him: "Is she so unwilling to see me?"
Shunzi just comforted Li Cangjue in a low voice.
When the emperor heard that Gu Xiao and Gu Qingying were both here, he immediately summoned only the two of them.
Even Li Cangjue was not allowed in and could only wait outside the imperial study room.
As soon as Gu Qingying entered the room, she looked around the room.
I found that the imperial study room was the same as before, unchanged.
The emperor is old.
This is the most sincere thought in Gu Qingying's heart.
The emperor is really much older than before she left.
The two brothers and sister saluted.
The emperor asked the two of them to sit down and talk.
Then the father-in-law who was waiting for him also went out.
There were only three people left in the room.
The emperor looked at Gu Qingying with complicated eyes: "Is your father doing well in Beiliang Kingdom?"
After asking this question, the emperor felt that he had said the wrong thing.
Then he said: "You see, I said something wrong abruptly. Your father has a distinguished status in Beiliang Kingdom and must be living a good life!"
Gu Qingying's tone was very calm and she respected the emperor.
This is an old man who deserves her respect.
"My father doesn't have a distinguished status in Beiliang Kingdom. It's just that he never likes to have contact with outsiders. He plays chess with my uncle at home all day long and lives a life without fighting against the world!"
She understood what the emperor meant when he said his status was noble.
Relying on his father's reputation as a general.
Even if he goes to Beiliang Kingdom, he will still be respected by Emperor Wanyan.
Naturally, status becomes noble.
But the fact was not what the emperor thought, and Gu Qingying felt it was necessary to clarify.
The emperor looked at Gu Xiao and said, "You were wronged this time. I only found out later that he only gave you one hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people."
Fortunately, Gu Xiao was fine.
Otherwise, he will really feel guilty for the rest of his life.
He even had no face to face General Gu.
Gu Xiao was holding back some words in his heart and thought it would be better to speak them out.
"Also, Your Majesty, do you have any idea about the candidate for the crown prince?"
The emperor was surprised and didn't understand why Gu Xiao asked suddenly.
But he still said seriously: "I don't have a clue about the choice of crown prince. You also know that there have been a lot of fights in the court recently, among my sons! None of them are restless and ambitious."
Gu Xiao didn't understand: "It's up to the emperor to decide on the establishment of a prince. Whoever is more suitable for Tianyuan Kingdom will of course be chosen."
The emperor asked back: "Then who do you think is more suitable?"
He became less and less optimistic about Li Cangjue.
But he also knew that it would be very easy for Li Cangjue to become the emperor.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about the military power Li Cangjue holds.
Gu Qingying didn't want Gu Xiao to express too many opinions on this matter.
He sighed deliberately and said: "My father asked me to bring a message to the emperor!"
The emperor motioned for Gu Qingying to continue speaking.
Gu Qingying looked seriously into the emperor's eyes and said: "My father said that he has been in the army for decades and is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of you, the emperor, and worthy of the people of Tianyuan Kingdom, but he has only failed my mother, my brother and me.
"
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety.
General Gu asked her to say these words just to arouse the emperor's guilt.
Sure enough, strong guilt appeared on the emperor's face.
The emperor let out a long sigh and said with a heavy heart: "Your father has indeed not let down the people of Tianyuan Kingdom. It is the people of Tianyuan Kingdom who owe him."
If the Tianyuan Kingdom did not have General Gu, I am afraid that the Tianyuan Kingdom would no longer exist.
