Chapter 370 This officer has committed so much crime that he even used shackles
The emperor's imperial edict was finally delivered to Di Luo. Di Luo became proud, stood in front of Ji Miaoxian and said: "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"
Ji Miaoxian told the attendants in the mansion: "Hold the imperial edict from our family and follow the searchers so that the late emperor, the Holy One and the ancestors can see how Zi Xiaoxiao took advantage of the Duke's absence to insult the female family members of the Duke's Palace.
of."
Di Luo stared at her and said, "Let me see how long you can laugh."
The mansion suddenly became chaotic, but fortunately, with the shock of several imperial edicts, the people led by Di Luo did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Aunt Su said worriedly: "In the many years since the Zhenguo Palace has been established, when has this kind of thing happened to us? Old lady, do you know what Yu'er did?"
The old lady's expression wasn't too good either, and she said, "It's not that Yu'er did anything. I'm just afraid of being punished. There's no reason to worry."
Sun Caiwei couldn't help but feel a little scared when she looked at the mess in the house, and there was a faint danger of the house being raided.
The faces of several women were not good-looking. Ji Miaoxian said: "Mother, aunt, you should believe that your husband will not put the Duke's palace in danger."
This sentence seemed to give a few people reassurance.
The old lady said: "You are right, Yu'er has always been steady."
Aunt Su suddenly started crying and whispered: "Qiong'er, what should I do with Qiong'er? She's outside and hasn't come back yet."
When the old lady heard this, her palms became sweaty.
Ji Miaoxian said: "My sister-in-law is in our shop. She will definitely hide if she hears the news. It's a good thing she's not here now."
Ji Miaoxian said this just to appease everyone. Everyone knew that Gu Qiong's temperament had changed a lot in the past six months, but they didn't know how far this change could carry her.
There was a cry from behind, and Sun Caiwei turned around to see Liuying being dragged out by several officers and soldiers.
Sun Caiwei said: "This is my dowry maid, why did you take her away?"
Di Luo said: "What is Mrs. Side afraid of? She is just a maid. If she is innocent, she will be returned naturally."
Sun Caiwei suddenly thought of what had just happened. Although Liu Ying cried out in fear, she did not ask her for help.
Thinking of what the old lady said just now, "If you're afraid of being punished, there's no reason to worry." She still didn't understand what else she didn't understand.
Sun Caiwei's heartache that she hadn't had for a long time relapsed. She fell to the ground under the strange looks of the women in the Gu family, clutching her heart and shaking her head.
Even so, the old lady still said: "Hurry up and call Dr. Leng to come over and treat her."
Sun Caiwei couldn't control her tears and said, "I didn't, I don't know."
Ji Miaoxian came over and said, "Don't be impatient. If it wasn't you, just relax."
The news of the raid on the Zhenguo Palace quickly reached Gu Qiong's ears. Gu Qiong instantly panicked and said, "I want to go home."
The shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion said: "Third Miss, you can't go home! I don't know what the young master has committed to cause the house to be searched. If it is a serious crime of being imprisoned together, if you go home at this time, you will be throwing yourself into a trap."
Gu Qiong was confused and said: "No, brother, she has a sense of propriety and will not make big mistakes. I can't leave my family behind at this time, they must be worried about me too."
At this time, Xiao Xingzhi, dressed in servant clothes, came to find her and said, "Sister Gu, come and hide with me."
Gu Qiong shook his head and asked: "What kind of crime can lead to a search for the government? The Zhenguo Palace is a family of first-class lords. My father has made great achievements in war, and my brother has also made great achievements many times."
Xiao Xingzhi said: "I heard some rumors, and all the officials came together to list Gu Yu's ten crimes. They knelt in front of Fengtian Hall and asked the Holy One for a thorough investigation."
Gu Qiong was so frightened that he trembled all over and said, "This is impossible. My brother has always been cautious in his words and deeds. How could he be listed with so many crimes?"
Xiao Xingzhi probably knew that Gu Yu insisted on implementing the land equalization system and offended the family, which led to the disaster. However, the situation was urgent and he could not elaborate on it with Gu Qiong.
Xiao Xingzhi said hurriedly: "Sister Gu, the Zhenguo Palace is now closed for inspection. Once you are found to be absent, you will be taken back. The shop under Gu's name will soon be targeted. Come with me."
, I’ll take you to hide for a while.”
Gu Qiong said: "I can't leave, I want to advance and retreat together with my family."
Xiao Xingzhi stamped his feet anxiously and warned her: "You are the only one outside the Gu family now! If something happens, I can at least leave you outside to think of a way. When the storm subsides, you have to find a way to fish out the Gu family.
Come."
Gu Qiong asked: "Would it hurt you?"
Xiao Xingzhi said: "My friendship with Gu Yu is not going to lead to any harm!"
Gu Qiong cried and changed clothes with the Linlang Pavilion clerk, and followed Xiao Xingzhi to escape through the secret door of Linlang Pavilion.
When Concubine Zhao in the palace found out that Gu's residence was being searched, she immediately took off her hairpin and knelt down at Qianqing Gate to intercede for Gu Yu.
----------------------------------------
Before Gu Yu was arrested, he had just learned that a farmer in Changzhong County believed the rumors spread by the squire and resisted the government officials and soldiers who came to count the population.
I don't know what kind of conflict they had, but the farmer died in the hands of the soldiers.
Gu Yu sighed and said quietly: "What was supposed to come has come."
Tang Xiandao: "Now that a life has been caused, young master, what should we do?"
Gu Yudao: "If I am caught, Magistrate Tang will not slack off in measuring the land and checking the population. If something happens to me, I can communicate with Magistrate Gao in Yunlu County to discuss it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers from Kyoto came over ferociously to arrest Gu Yu.
Looking at the shackles in the hands of the officers and soldiers, Gu Yu sneered and said, "What a crime I have committed, even using shackles."
Zhang Duwei, who came with the troops, said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Mr. Gu, please!"
Gu Yu sighed heavily, raised her hands, and asked Captain Zhang to handcuff her hands and feet.
Tang Xian, who had always been honest and dull, couldn't bear to see this scene. He begged Captain Zhang: "Captain, please wait for a while."
Soon, Tang Xian came over with a hundred taels of silver notes and a bag of broken silver, and quietly stuffed them into Captain Zhang's hands.
This is all his savings, the silver reward from the imperial court for passing the Jinshi examination, the salary from serving as county magistrate for the past six months, and Gu Yu's recent rewards, all are here.
He was not good at doing this kind of bribery, so he trembled and said: "Captain Zhang, please do yourself a favor and look after Young Master Gu more often along the way."
Gu Yu saw it in his eyes, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.
But Captain Zhang was a fifth-grade military attaché in Kyoto, so how could he take this little money seriously?
Lieutenant Zhang looked at the more than one hundred taels of silver with disgust.
I don't know how carefully this poor county magistrate treasured this small amount of money, and the veil containing the broken silver became burred.
Gu Yu warned him at the right moment: "It is better for Lieutenant Zhang to accept it. When I return to Kyoto this time, no one can say what the outcome will be."
This is considered a threat to Captain Zhang.
Thinking about Gu Yu's father Zhen Guo Gong, he naturally had to sell this face to Gu Yu and accepted Tang Xian's money.
In Tang Xian's fear, Gu Yu got on the carriage escorting her.
