After the ceremony, the Ministry of Works was idle, but the Ministry of Rites was even busier. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, Gu Qinghuan is a rookie in the court, although he has Dong Yehong's help and guidance, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the chaos, and the people in the Ministry of Rites are even more difficult to get along with.

Therefore, he prefers to run errands abroad, even if he follows the squire every day to entertain envoys and foreign guests, and is tired of running back and forth, he is also happy.

On the 23rd, the Ministry of Rites arranged a guard of honor for carriages and horses, and went to the post house to pick up the envoys of Southern Chu into the palace to congratulate, and the etiquette regulations were perfect, and the back and forth were guarded by the Imperial Forest Army. All this was arranged by Gu Qinghuan himself, he was careful and didn't dare to make any mistakes.

However, halfway through the guard, the envoy was killed by the driver, and the assassin fled.

This news immediately spread to the court, and Chen Jingxing waited for the reception of the envoy to his great disaster, and the right secretary Yang Longxing participated in his dereliction of duty and neglected to pay attention to the subtleties, resulting in the murder of the envoy and causing a crisis in diplomatic relations.

So he was removed from his post and imprisoned, waiting for the case to be confirmed, but no matter what the outcome, he could not escape the serious crime.

Unless you catch the assassin and find out the truth behind the scenes.

He, the new head of the Ministry of Rites, had not done enough ten days before he was imprisoned.

……

On the day of the rest, Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qingfeng were cultivating and hoeing in Nancheng, and they didn't know until Gu Qingning rushed over to tell them the news.

Gu Qingxuan packed up and rushed back to the inner city with his children, he asked Gu Qingning to appease Gu Qingfeng at home, and he went to Dong Yehong to ask the truth.

After Gu Qingxuan left, Jiang Hechuan and Jiang Xiange came, and their mother and daughter also knew about it, and brought the Gu family the details of the time when the envoy was killed.

According to what Jiang Hechuan heard from the Imperial Forest Army, the Imperial Forest Army was replaced with a new second lieutenant two days ago, that is, Han Shen, who was demoted before, and there was an eyeliner that Han Shen had dealings with the Lu family.

And the group of Imperial Forest Army that was responsible for guarding the envoys of Southern Chu today was the group commanded by Han Shen.

The charioteer's retinue for the envoys had all been verified by the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Rites, and it was difficult for dangerous people to approach the VIPs, but it was extremely easy for the Assassin to pretend to be a chauffeur to assassinate, and it was too strange that so many Imperial Guards were present afterwards to allow the Assassin to escape.

Gu Qingning agreed with their views very much, and speculated that some of them were responsible for deliberately implicating the guilt on Gu Qinghuan, if this was the case, that person must be Lu Yuanzhi.

As they discussed, they heard an unusually loud mourning in the distance, which ordinary people would not normally have.

The wind blew, and a few white flowers blew into the Gu Mansion.

Gu Qingning was worried, and when he saw this unlucky thing, he said in annoyance: "Which family is the funeral today?

Jiang Xiange, Jiang Hechuan and Gu Qingfeng looked at each other, a little unspeakable, and in the end, Jiang Xiange took her arm, asked her to sit down, and said, "Qingning, today is the day of the Lu family's funeral......"

She suddenly woke up, yes, how did she forget? It's been a month...... It's the day of his funeral......

The two brothers of the Lu family were buried at the same time today......

And Qinghuan happened to have an accident today......

Gu Qingning was stunned, his heart was shocked, and he became panicked, "I have a very bad premonition...... Qinghuan is afraid of accidents in prison......"

Gu Qingfeng was surprised and asked, "Sister, how come?"

Gu Qingning thought about it carefully and said, "Lu Yuanzhi, that old fox! He will definitely not just harm Qinghuan to be imprisoned and wait for investigation! Otherwise, when it is found out afterwards, it will be very difficult for him to succeed, what he wants is ...... Qinghuan is dead! It is very likely that ...... Do it today......"

"Ahh

was stopped by Gu Qingning: "No, I can't be sure about this, and even if it's true, I'm afraid Lu Yuanzhi has already arranged it in prison, just waiting for us to go!"

"Then we can't ignore my brother! No, I have to go, sister, don't worry, I have martial arts, go and investigate first, if there is a trap, I won't do it easily, unless someone poisons my brother......"

Gu Qingning's heart roared, and he had no idea for a while.

Jiang Hechuan said: "Qingning, Qingfeng, don't worry, my uncle will immediately arrange for someone to investigate the situation in the prison of the Criminal Department, so you don't need to break into the prison to rob the prison, you should find out first." ”

Gu Qingning asked: "Uncle also has eyeliner in the prison of the Criminal Department?"

Jiang Hechuan nodded and said to them, "Don't worry, wait first." Then he rode away in a carriage.

……

Listening to the sound outside, Jiang Xiange looked at Gu Qingning, "Qingning, why don't you go out and have a look?" ”

She hesitated, then turned her head to look at Gu Qingfeng, "That Qingfeng, you stay at home, waiting for Uncle Jiang's news." ”

Gu Qingfeng nodded, "Okay, sister, go ahead." ”

They went out and walked on Chang'an Street, following the increasingly clear voice, stepping on the white flowers to chase the mighty procession.

Walking to the north city gate, they stopped, and watched the funeral procession of the Lu family carrying two coffins forward, and it was Lu Yuansi and Chengshuo County Lord who held the spirit card in the front to send the funeral.

Gu Qingning looked at the plain white sky and said in a low voice: "I don't know if it's more heartbreaking to watch Lu Yuanze go out of the funeral, or more heartbreaking when I see her holding his spirit card...... Sometimes, I really don't understand myself, whether I'm pretending to be affectionate or if they're pretending to be ruthless......"

Jiang Xiange grabbed her shoulders and comforted: "Don't be so Qingning, just send him off for the last time......

"He sent him away, but what about her?" her gaze followed Chen Juntong away.

Jiang Xiange was puzzled, only patted her on the shoulder and led her back: "Qingning, have you found out? Lu Yuanzhi didn't come to his son's funeral, where do you think he should be at this time?"

Gu Qingning faced the other direction, looked up at the sky, and walked forward, feeling more and more bad in his heart: "I don't know, this is indeed very strange......

I'm afraid he's already in prison at the Ministry of Punishment!

Jiang Xiange held her hand and said nervously, "What about Uncle Gu? He hasn't come back for so long, is he still with Dong Shangshu? should we go to him?"

Gu Qingning shook his head and said: "No need to look for it, my father didn't go to see Dong Shangshu at all, today is the day of rest, Dong Shangshu doesn't need to go to the court, how can he know about the envoy......s?

Jiang Xiange was even more puzzled: "Why did Uncle do this?

As he thought about it more and more, Gu Qingning's eyes swelled with waves, "Yes, Uncle Jiang should also know his plans......

"My father also knows?Qingning!What are you trying to do?Will Uncle Gu be in danger?Oh, will Qinghuan be in danger?" Jiang Xiange was a little anxious.

Gu Qingning rolled his eyes, and unconsciously his eyes were slightly red: "It's okay, don't worry, my father has his own arrangements, of course Qinghuan won't have an accident......"

Jiang Xiange still felt faintly uneasy: "Then what should we do?"

Gu Qingning said: "Xiange, you go back to my house first, accompany Qingfeng, and wait for the news, I will go to understand the situation." ”

She tried to speak as easily as possible, but what she said was a depression that even she couldn't bear, she had her own intuition, and everything that came suddenly was ......

But she can't ignore Qinghuan.

Jiang Xiange listened to her words and rushed back to the house.

Gu Qingning found a carriage, hurried to Yin's mansion, handed over the name card and asked to see Yin Shaochu, but the first thing he said after seeing Yin Shaochu was to ask him to lead her to see Yin Qixiu.

Yin Shaochu told her that Yin Qixiu went out early in the morning today, and he didn't know where he went. Among the three brothers, only Yin Qixiu did not get married, so it was inevitable to play with **.

She told Yin Shaochu about Gu Qinghuan and asked him to find Yin Qixiu. I want Yin Qixiu to help guard against changes in the prison. She also knew that it might be too late, but she still wanted to give it a try......

Yin Shaochu agreed to her, and then she left the Yin Mansion and rushed home, wanting to see if Gu Qingxuan had any news, but after going back, she saw Jiang Xiange alone.

Jiang Xiange said that she couldn't find Gu Qingfeng when she returned to Gu's mansion, and when she asked Uncle Tang, he also said that he didn't know when Gu Qingfeng went out, let alone where he went.

Gu Qingning immediately went out again and rushed to the Zhenguo Princess's Mansion.
