After a few turns in his mind, he finally understood, and he was shocked: "You are now a death row prisoner, and you will be beheaded the day after tomorrow, and you still hope to get out?" It's not wishful thinking. ”

Emperor Qinglong said that day, three days later, he will ask for beheading, now it is the second day, as soon as tomorrow passes, Gong Chengyan will be sent to the guillotine, not only that, but the palace family will also be beheaded all over the house, all men will be executed, and all women will be reduced to slaves.

"You don't care if I can get out or not, just give things out, and I will never treat you badly. It's just a letter, and the pendant will be yours, and if you go to the pawnshop to pawn it, you can at least exchange it for 100 gold. ”

The prison head's heart trembled fiercely, he had never seen a hundred gold in his life, it was a few thousand taels of silver, if he had those thousands of taels, he would still use it here to do this kind of mildew to send people to Huangquan?

Because of this errand, he has not yet married a daughter-in-law, but if he has that money, won't he be able to learn from those uncles with three wives and four concubines to ask someone to serve and serve in the future?

The prison boss gritted his teeth, and decided to go out with a ruthless heart, asking, "You just sent a letter?" Nothing else? ”

Gong Chengyan promised: "It's just a letter, as long as you send it out, this pendant will belong to you, and when I go out, I will give you another hundred gold." ”

And a hundred gold to get? The prison boss himself didn't know that his eyes were already shining with excitement, he looked at the jade pendant in Gong Chengyan's hand greedily, and said in a deep voice: "Nacheng, you will give me the pendant, and give me the letter, and I will send it to you tonight."

I'm going to take a big risk, you write me a note. Grant me another hundred gold, and if I do a good deed to let you out today, I will go to you with this article. ”

Gong Chengyan didn't think about it, and tore off a piece of cloth from his prison clothes. Biting his fingers, he wrote down an IOU and handed it to the prison chief, saying, "After the matter is done, you will come to me with this thing." ”

The prison chief was full of joy and carried the strip of cloth in his arms.

Gong Chengyan held the pendant in his hand, with obvious reluctance in his eyes, and he muttered: "Pei Xin, you leave me for a while, don't worry, I will find you back." Definitely. ”

Reluctantly, he handed the jade pendant to the prison chief, and then tore off a piece of cloth from the prison clothes, this time writing a little longer. It was densely red, and the prison head couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to see it, and he knew it. There are some things you can't know. If you know, it must be not far from death.

"Wait-" Gong Chengyan called the prison chief, "You can pass on another word for me, it's that Tsuji Niang, you just need to tell her one word." ”

The head of the prison thought about it, but it was just a sentence, and Tsuji Niang was on the other side of the cell, so it was not troublesome. And he walked over.

Gong Chengyan whispered in his ear, and the prison head nodded and said relieved. Wait until the latter has finished speaking, and then leave with his things.

After nightfall, Ling Yi sat at the head of the bed reading as usual, and the weaving fan walked in and said: "Guo Lao and Hou Ye have already entered the palace, and Zhang Tianhao has also entered the palace later, presumably the fake person will cry to death at this time, and now, all the evidence points to the palace family." ”

Ling Yi put down the book in his hand and muttered, "Once Gong Chengyan is convicted, everyone in the Gong family will not be able to escape. ”

The weaving fan was stunned, and he didn't think about it for a while.

Zhi Yu frowned and reminded: "Don't forget, Master Hou is the eldest son of the Gong family, once the Gong family is convicted, he will also be implicated." ”

Weaving Fan suddenly exclaimed: "What can I do then?" Isn't Hou Ye going to be beheaded too? I heard that all the men of the Gong family were going to be killed, and I only kept thinking about Gong Yunrui in my heart, but I forgot that Hou Ye was also a member of the Gong family. Miss, what can I do?

Master Hou has been helping us to go against Gong Chengyan, and the maid almost forgot that he was also the son of the palace family. ”

The weaving fan was anxious to cry, but Ling Yi's expression didn't look like he was very worried, he was puzzled and relieved, indeed, if the eldest lady was anxious to burn her eyebrows, it would be a big deal.

Ling Yi thought about it, and it was not too early to see the sky outside, so he said, "Tomorrow, let's go and see the situation tomorrow." ”

Weaving Fan squeezed her eyes at Zhiyu, with a smile in her eyes, she knew that the eldest lady still cared about Hou Ye, if it was someone else, her eldest lady would not be so kind.

On the second day, Ling Yi got up very early, and when Zhiyu entered the house with the washing water, the latter had already read half of the book.

"Why did the eldest lady get up so early, it's cold this day, she should wear more clothes." She put the thick fur on Ling Yi and prepared a face for her.

"I couldn't sleep, I was lying uncomfortable, so I got up." Ling Yi said slowly. After wiping his hands and washing his face, he sat down in front of the dressing table and combed his hair.

Zhi Yu took the comb, first asked what kind of hair to comb, and then said: "Now that Princess Haining has been imprisoned, if the eldest lady wants to see the Hou Ye, it is better to go directly to the Hou Mansion." ”

Ling Yi thought in her heart, she had only been to the Hou Mansion once, and the last time she was unconscious, and she was in a hurry when she left, so she didn't have time to take a look at the situation in the mansion, she was also curious in her heart, so she said: "Let the weaving fan send a post first, and we will go over when we come back." ”

The weaving fan followed and walked in, bringing a room of wind, shivering with cold, quickly closed the door, walked to Ling Yi's side and said, "The eldest lady is going, why bother handing over the post, but it seems to be raw." ”

Zhi Yu disagreed: "Of course this post has to be sent, if the person is not there, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing if the eldest lady went, don't stand still, hurry up and send the post, go early and return early, if it is someone in the house, then we can go to the Hou Mansion immediately." ”

The weaving fan was right to think about it, and smiled and blessed: "Then the maid went." ”

The Hou Mansion is too close, and the weaving fan came back not long after, "The Hou Ye is in the house, the maid said that the eldest lady is going to visit the house, and the Hou Ye directly sent someone to send the maid back, and now the carriage is waiting outside." ”

Ling Yi had already packed up, and he didn't have anything to take, so he didn't delay and went out directly to the Hou Mansion to take the carriage of the Hou Mansion to the Hou Mansion.

Gong Xiru took advantage of this gap to have all the stoves and stoves for tea and snacks, and when Ling Yi arrived, there was nothing missing, and the temperature of the tea was just right.

"This is the first time you've come to me, and if it weren't for the cold outside, I'd like to take you for a walk."

Ling Yi rubbed her hands and stomped her feet, waiting to enter the house. I felt that it was too warm in the house, so I took off the fur outside, and Gong Xiru handed her the hand stove. Ling Yi held the stove in his hand and said: "It's not cold, the warmth I wear on my body makes my hands and feet cold, besides, this is not the first time I've come, didn't I rest here last time." ”

Gong Xiru smiled: "I came back with you last time, and you are unconscious at all." Since it's not too cold, I'll take you for a walk. ”

Zhi Yu hurriedly put the cloak he had just taken off on Ling Yi, and Gong Xiru led the way in front. The two of them walked slowly through the front door to the backyard.

"Have you figured out what to do?" Ling Yi asked suddenly.

The corners of Gong Xiru's mouth raised unconsciously, "The countermeasures have already been thought of, if the emperor really orders the house to be raided, all the men will be killed." That's it for me. It's also more beneficial. ”

After finishing speaking, he felt that what he said was too cruel, and couldn't help asking: "Do you think I'm too cold-blooded, after all, it's my own father and brother and mother, and I don't have any sympathy?" ”

Ling Yi smiled: "I'm not a naïve daughter, this world is like this, sometimes, a brother can't be worth a friend, you must do things for a reason." I won't say anything more, though. I'm afraid this thing will change, anyway, you just need to be prepared. ”

The smile on the corner of Gong Xiru's mouth became more obvious, "I knew you would say that, you came here on purpose today, it's Dan-"

"You still have fish." Ling Yi suddenly smiled and pointed to a pool.

Gong Xiru could only swallow the words before he finished speaking, and said helplessly: "Now I regret it a little, and I will let people fish out these fish to cook and eat in the afternoon." "Lest a few fish disturb him.

"Why?" Ling Yi saw that there was still fish food on the edge of the pool, so he grabbed a handful and threw it in, watching the fish happily grab food, and said: "This winter, these fish are not afraid of the cold, they are the survival of the fittest, if they are not fit, they will either freeze to death, or they can only lie dormant in the hole." ”

Gong Xiru nodded: "Since they are dormant, it is really easy for me to catch them." ”

The little guy hurriedly ran over, and Gong Sheng hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Why are you so panicked?" ”

"It's the second young master who is here, he looks very anxious, and the little one doesn't dare to delay, so he hurried to report."

Gong Sheng knew what Gong Yunrui was doing, so he sent the little servant back, came to Gong Xiru's side and said, "Master Hou, the second young master is here, I'm afraid it's here to talk about that." ”

Ling Yi turned around, "Since someone is here, then I'll go back, it's good if you have an idea in your heart, and I'll rest assured." ”

Gong Xiru smiled again: "Don't rush back, if you have nothing to do, I'll send you back after you stay and eat, I have found a new cook, the craftsmanship is excellent, you can try it and see if you like it." ”

Ling Yi didn't know why, her eyebrows raised, and she asked with a smile, "What if you don't like it?" ”

"If you don't like it, I'll keep him for something." Gong Xiru said naturally.

Ling Yi paused, and said as he walked back: "You still have something to do, just go and get busy, I'll take a look at the mansion and go back, I still have something to do in the afternoon." ”

"Skipping dinner?" Gong Xiru asked unrelentingly.

"I won't eat it, and I'll eat it again next time I have a chance. It's going to be a busy day. ”

Gong Xiru was faintly lost in her heart, "It's okay, there are always opportunities." ”

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the front hall, they saw Gong Yunrui coming in a hurry.

Ling Yi was blessed and said to Gong Xiru: "Then I'll go back." ”

After leaving the Hou Mansion, the weaving fan was puzzled: "Miss, why don't you stay for dinner, Master Hou will definitely not snub Miss for the sake of Gong Yunrui." ”

Ling Yi got into the carriage and said with a slight smile: "How do you know that he will definitely not be in the mansion this afternoon." ”

"If you're not in the house, is the Hou Ye going out? Why didn't the maid hear Gong Sheng mention it. Weaving Fan was puzzled, Gong Sheng was now a person with her, and she also specially asked the latter to tell her about Hou Ye's plans and arrangements. But she didn't hear that Hou Ye had something to do in the afternoon.

Seeing that Ling Yi was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, Zhi Yu quietly explained: "You just saw Gong Yunrui go to the Hou Mansion, it must be for the Gong family, this matter is not only the Gong family, there is another person, don't forget." ”

Weaving Fan was stunned, and then suddenly, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "The eldest lady really thinks long-term, how can I think of this kind of thing, only my sister can guess the eldest lady's thoughts." ”

Zhi Yu smiled: "Where did I guess, the eldest lady clearly said just now, but there is something to be busy in the afternoon." ”

*

Gong Xiru asked Gong Sheng to send Ling Yi's master and servant out, and he led Gong Yunrui into the house.

Gong Yunrui's eyes kept moving with Ling Yi, knowing that the latter disappeared at the gate, but he didn't glance at him, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and his tone was abnormal: "Big brother is so blessed, Miss Ling has come to the house with her, and it is really the person who has become the Hou Ye, it is different." ”

Gong Xiru's face was unhappy and said: "Miss Ling has something to do with me, don't compare her with those cheesy daughters." ”

Gong Yunrui scolded secretly in his heart, and said: "I don't care about her relationship with her eldest brother, but if the eldest brother doesn't ask about her father anymore, then you, the marquis, won't be able to do it for long." ”

"Zhang Tianhao has defected again?" Gong Xiru asked directly.

As soon as Zhang Tianhao Gong Yunrui was mentioned, he became angry and scolded: "That's not a human thing, but I regretted it again, and I also participated in my father's book in front of the emperor."

Now all the evidence points to my father, big brother, I don't care what gap there is between you and your father, this time, it is the time when our family is unanimous with the outside world.

If something happens to my father, you and I can't live, you should also know that the emperor has ordered that my father be beheaded at noon tomorrow, and all the men in the palace family will also be beheaded. ”

Gong Xiru comforted him lightly: "I am the eldest son of the Gong family, and I will definitely not stand by and watch this matter, but what else can I do now?" ”

Gong Yunrui took out a square cloth, "This is sent by my father, it is clearly written on it, eldest brother, I can't complete this matter alone, you have to help me, only our brothers can solve this crisis with one heart." ”

Gong Xiru looked at the blood book on the strip of cloth, and after a while, he said coldly: "Father actually wants to exonerate himself in this way?" ”

Gong Yunrui couldn't figure out what he meant for a while, and said tentatively: "Big brother, is he worried about Miss Ling?" You can rest assured that her relationship with that family is not so friendly, and her willingness is not even weaker than ours. ”

Gong Xiru was silent for a moment before saying, "I know, you go back first to do something else, and I will enter the palace." ”

Gong Yunrui laughed at this time, and arched his hand: "Big brother, everything depends on you, then I'll go and do something else first, big brother, you hurry up and go to the palace, you can't delay." ”

After Gong Xiru sent him away, he did not rush into the palace, but sat down to drink tea.

"You say, do I go or not?" He asked Gong Shengdao.

Gong Sheng lowered his head and said: "Master Hou should decide by himself, but the little one also wants to say more, Miss Ling also said just now, I'm afraid that this hibernating animal, it is not easy to find that dormant hole." (To be continued.) )
