The sound was like a huge stone hammer hitting everyone hard, hitting everyone's heart.
The sound of rain suddenly became louder, and the big raindrops hit the eaves and dripped down to form a rain curtain. The biting wind blew the rain in, chilling it to the bones.
But Gu Changan didn't feel the chill to her bones. When she heard the sound of horses outside, she seemed to realize something.
At the door of the Su family, I saw a white figure.
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, he disappeared into the misty rain and walked in so gracefully.
Gu Changan was stunned for a while, and his heartbeat seemed to have dropped a beat.
She didn't know what to say.
But when he appeared here, the other two people in the hall had different expressions. Su Heng's expression was surprised, while Gu Yuan was already turning blue and white.
Why did Yun Heng come out halfway!
But this did not change the outcome. Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Why is the Imperial Master so free to come and watch me take my daughter back?"
Yun Heng smiled indifferently.
He said: "Don't worry about this now, we still have business to do."
"Business?" Gu Yuan frowned and said, "What kind of tricks are you playing? I tell you, no matter what happens today, I will definitely take Gu Changan away!"
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we won't stop you from taking her away." Yun Heng stood there, as good as ever, with a calm expression on his face, without any hint of happiness or anger.
Likewise, Gu Yuan couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Yunheng Gourd.
Gu Changan couldn't help but glance at Yun Heng.
"What are you talking about? What's the business?" Gu Yuan said impatiently. Anyway, no matter what Yun Heng said, he couldn't really ignore Gu Changan, it was just an excuse!
Seeing that Gu Yuan was no longer anxious, Yun Heng said without talking nonsense, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, several more figures walked in from the Su family.
Gu Changan's sharp eyes immediately saw Feng Ya leading the way clearly, and she saw him holding an umbrella for the people behind him with a very respectful attitude. She was about to find out who could make Feng Ya respectful.
I saw a clear bright yellow.
Gu Changan was dumbfounded. Watching Feng Ya and the others get closer, he knew that the person following Feng Ya was a eunuch from the palace.
It turns out that what Feng Ya respects is not people, but the imperial edict!
But what is the imperial edict coming at this time?
Gu Changan was puzzled.
After the eunuch entered the lobby, he looked at Gu Yuan with a smile on his face and said, "Master Gu Marquis has really made the Sa family easy to find. I didn't see you when I went to the Gu family. It turned out that I came to the Su family."
Gu Yuan was shocked and said: "Looking for me?"
He immediately realized that this matter was not simple. The only thing that had anything to do with him recently was embezzlement of military pay.
But the blame has obviously been placed on the Liang family, so what does it have to do with him!
"Don't be surprised, Lord Marquis. I waited with my father-in-law at Gu's house for a long time but couldn't wait for Lord Marquis. After checking, I found out that Lord Marquis was at Su's house, so I took it upon myself to bring my father-in-law over."
Yun Heng said right next to him.
Gu Yuan glared at Yun Heng fiercely.
I already understood in my heart that this imperial edict must have something to do with Yun Heng.
"My father-in-law has worked hard all the way here, but I have some important things to do right now. Can you please go back to the Marquis' Mansion for a short rest?" Gu Yuan understood that what was written in the imperial edict was definitely not good, so he would never let it go.
The eunuch read it at Su's house.
The eunuch glanced sideways at Gu Yuan, held the imperial edict with his orchid fingers, and said coldly: "I'm afraid this is no longer up to the Marquis."
Gu Yuan's expression changed.
The eunuch ignored Gu Yuan, opened the imperial edict in his hand, and immediately read out: "I am deeply worried about the embezzlement of military pay. Although the culprit has been caught, it is unacceptable that Gu Hou, as the commander of an army, allowed his subordinates to behave so badly.
I know that I am really responsible for negligence and must be punished! I will be punished with fifty military sticks and will be banned from entering the court for half a year. The military sticks will be supervised and enforced by the Imperial Guard!"
The last word "execute" was like a sharp arrow piercing his heart. Gu Yuan staggered back a step, "How is this possible..."
The eunuch put away the imperial edict, turned to look at Yun Heng, and said respectfully: "The rest of the matter will be left to the Imperial Master, and the Sa family will go back to resume their duties first."
He was originally here to read out the imperial edict, but after reading out these things, it had nothing to do with him. The eunuch left in a very hurry, and it seemed that he was also rushing back to the palace.
Yun Heng then looked at Gu Yuan leisurely and said, "Mr. Gu has also heard the content of the imperial edict just now. I don't need to say more about what's going to happen next. Please."
Gu Yuan's body was trembling, and he pointed at Yun Heng, who was out of breath, "You...Yun Heng, please remember this. I will never forget today's shame!"
"We're always here for you." Yun Heng was dressed in white, extremely elegant.
Su Heng really didn't expect that things would suddenly change like this, and he didn't know what Yun Heng said to His Majesty, but there was a sudden imperial edict to punish Gu Yuan!
He couldn't hide the gloating expression on his face, "Gu Yuan, you can escape death penalty, but you can't avoid living punishment! You deserve it!"
Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Su Heng, don't be too proud. Even if I am punished today, I must take Gu Changan away!" Then, his eyes with a knife in his mouth fell on Gu Changan who was standing aside.
What he said was indeed correct. Gu Changan narrowed his eyes.
Him being punished is completely different from Su Lianran and Gu Xujie.
Therefore, the handle is still in Gu Yuan's hand.
But when things have progressed to this point, Gu Yuan is no longer afraid even if he holds Su Lianran's hand.
"Okay, I'll go back with you." Gu Changan nodded.
Su Heng quickly took Gu Changan's hand, "Chang'an, you can't do this! If you go back with him, he will definitely try his best..."
Gu Changan smiled and shook his head, then leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.
"What did you say...can you really..." Su Heng looked at Gu Changan in surprise.
"Believe me, uncle."
The girl's eyes were soft and firm.
Su Heng's expression gradually calmed down. After being in contact with Gu Chang'an for so long, he knew that Gu Chang'an was definitely not someone who just talked nonsense. Since she said that, she must have some reliance on her.
But when he really wanted to let Gu Changan go back home, he was worried that that ghost place was full of dangers. So what if Gu Changan was isolated and helpless there...
But the girl's firm eyes couldn't help him refuse, so in the end he could only nod helplessly, "I understand, I'll just do it as you wish."
After receiving Su Heng's approval, Gu Changan turned his head and looked at Yun Heng, "I don't think it would be possible for the Marquis to be executed in this Su family, otherwise the blood would be splattered all over the ground and the land of our Su family would be polluted."
Yun Heng glanced at the girl incomprehensibly and said with a smile: "Of course I can't. I have already chosen a perfect execution place for the Marquis."
Gu Yuan's expression was extremely grim, and he glared at Yun Heng, but this look was completely ignored by Yun Heng.
