Chapter 23 Gu Changfeng and the others are gone
Yuan Jinpei! If she heard it correctly, it was clearly Yuan Jinpei's voice.
"Don't move yet!" Gu Qingchu hurriedly spoke, then picked up the fire fold and lit the candle, and saw that the apricot eyes of the person who came were slightly surprised: "Why is Lord Yuan here?" ”
Yuan Jinpei stared at Gu Qingchu with deep eyes, in order to facilitate her hands, she did not wear a hat, only brought a face towel to prevent inhalation of medicinal powder.
Against the backdrop of the flickering candlelight, Gu Qingchu's eyebrows and eyes were extremely soft, and his eyes and eyelashes trembled lightly, adding a touch of charm to the night.
Yuan Jinpei's ink eyes darkened for two points, and he quietly hooked his lips and said: "When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help." ”
"Ancestor, all the thieves have been taken, and with the help of two little brothers, our people are only slightly injured."
The fighting outside stopped, and the little guy came to report the situation, and he specially mentioned the two guards of the Tianwei Division, because they really helped a lot, and these two people protected everyone, and they stepped forward to block it to see who had a vacancy and where the people were going to be injured.
In this way, no one was seriously injured in the end of the fight, and the minor injuries were only a knife cut, and the wound was not deep and could quickly scab over.
"Got it, tie up the thief and throw it in the firewood room, and take turns guarding the rest to rest." Gu Qingchu ordered, she knew that the two little brothers were the people brought by Yuan Jinpei. The master sent by the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was captured by them before she could ask for her life, and the guards of the Tianwei Division were all strong in martial arts.
After explaining a few words to the little guy, beware of the gang of people pretending to be dizzy, Gu Qingchu stepped forward with a candle. Carefully remove the powder from the trap and rewrap it in the box.
"Alright, you can move." Gu Qingchu breathed a sigh of relief, he was almost injured by mistake just now.
Yuan Jinpei's night vision was different from ordinary people, as soon as he entered the door, he saw three black lines, he knew that there was a trap in the house, so he didn't move, waiting for Gu Qingchu to make a move, but he didn't expect the other party to be able to hold it.
Yuan Jinpei, who wanted to know what Gu Qingchu would do, was so interesting that he didn't speak, and finally the battle was settled outside, and he had to speak.
The candlelight drove away the darkness in the room, and Yuan Jinpei sat at the table, his eyes didn't leave Gu Qingchu's face the whole time.
Hongyan drunkenness did not bring Gu Qingchu any bad influence, and the poisonous effect was not revealed on her body for half a minute. Yuan Jinpei's previous expectations were all broken by Gu Qingchu one by one.
"The face of that day is painted" The words in his heart were said casually, Yuan Jinpei took a sip of tea to hide his emotions, and the moment the candlelight lit up, he was stunned when he saw Gu Qingchu.
Gu Qingchu was stunned, remembering that he was not wearing a hat, he touched his face and said lightly: "Well, it's a painting and playing." ”
Yuan Jinpei didn't dwell on this topic anymore, silently drank tea and stopped talking.
Gu Qingchu glanced at it twice, and seeing that Yuan Jinpei didn't mean to speak, she asked bluntly, "Didn't Lord Yuan go back to Beijing?" ”
"Lord Yuan returned to Beijing, I stayed, the scenery of Chaoge is beautiful, and people want to stay and want to play for a few more days." As the identity of the Qin Mission, he went back, and now he has no emperor's order, so he has this to say.
Gu Qingchu's eyes darkened when he heard this, Yuan Jinpei's stay in Chaoge would not be as simple as playing.
"How could Lord Yuan happen to be here tonight?" Gu Qingchu accentuated the pronunciation of the two words, and his suspicious attitude was obvious.
"I have a lot of friendship with Miss Gu, and when I learned that you were in trouble, I came over to help." Yuan Jinpei admitted that he came here on purpose, and emphasized the friendship.
The other party's straightforward attitude made Gu Qingchu suddenly a little speechless.
"Miss Gu, can you arrange a room for me, I'm a little tired from fighting for a while." Yuan Jinpei yawned and said naturally.
Gu Qingchu: ............
Compared with Yuan Jinpei, in terms of being kind-hearted, she can't wait for the dust.
That night, Yuan Jinpei stayed overnight in Zhuangzi, and returned to the city in Gu Qingchu's carriage the next day.
"Thank you Miss Gu for the next trip, and I'll visit you another day." After that, he jumped out of the carriage, and without waiting for Gu Qingchu to reply, he made a gesture and left.
Gu Qingchu looked at Yuan Jinpei's back and was slightly distracted, no matter what the other party's purpose was, there would always be a day when it would be revealed, she would solve the matter in front of her first, and she couldn't mess up because of Yuan Jinpei's appearance.
It's time to make an example.
*
Above the public court, Gu Changfeng, Gu Changlin, and Gu Changwei knelt in prison clothes, and Gu Qingchu was Ning Lianghou was exempted from kneeling when he saw the emperor, so he gave a seat to sit aside.
The three people kneeling in the public hall trembled, they couldn't say a word, and before the adults could open their mouths to interrogate the three of them, Gu Qingchu on the side had already presented the evidence one by one.
That group of thugs usually looks fierce, obviously not hard-boned, and they were recruited after three or two punishments, which is a human witness. The knife carried by the thug was the weapon that Gu Changfeng asked the blacksmith to fight a few days ago.
Because Gu Qingchu's small house has a matching knife, some families in the city have followed suit and began to match the small family with a knife, and the same is true for Gu Changfeng.
This batch of knives had just been beaten, just in time for such an opportunity, Gu Changfeng asked the thugs to rush at Gu Qingchu's villa with the knives, he thought that he was unexpected, and with the help of Lord Shangshu, he could make Gu Qingchu die a tragic death, but he didn't want to be caught.
There are human and material evidence, and there is no argument.
After listening to the county decree that the autumn queen would be beheaded, the three of them fainted in the court one after another.
Gu Qingchu was an official of the imperial court, and the crimes of Gu Changfeng and others were added to the first degree, and the criminal law of the Great Xia Dynasty was very strict, and those who attempted murder were imprisoned for 20 years. If the victim is an official of the imperial court, he will be beheaded by death.
After returning to the mansion from the imperial court, within a moment, the wives and children of Gu Changfeng's three people came over to plead, not daring to say that Gu Qingchu spared them, only begging to spare their lives.
Now they are walking on the street, it can be said that everyone shouts and beats, Ning Lianghou woke up after being poisoned for thirty years, and he made meritorious contributions to the Great Xia Dynasty, they all heard that Ning Lianghou had studied the poison to deal with the Southern Barbarians.
Such a good official, it is too much for these villains to murder Ning Lianghou's life for the sake of gold, silver and jewelry.
The people were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to drive these three families out of Chaoge City.
Gu Qingchu finally pleaded for mercy, and the three were sentenced to 20 years in prison.
It's not Gu Qingchu's bad intentions, this is the last value of the three people, she needs a personality. As Gu Qingchu expected, there was a good heart outside about Ning Liang.
These three people have been pampered for many years, and they can't stand the harsh conditions in prison at all, and they may not survive until they die of illness in prison after 20 years.
Of course, at that time, it had nothing to do with her, anyway, now that she is "generously forgiven", the people of Chaoge see it in their eyes.
Seeing that the house of the three Gu Changfeng brothers collapsed, the people of the Gu clan came to the Gonghou Mansion to discuss the election of a new patriarch, and the meaning in and out of the words was that Gu Qingchu came to be the leader.
Of course Gu Qingchu was unwilling, she even wanted to dissolve the kinship relationship with these people, but unfortunately due to the ancient environment, she could only think about it in her heart.
In the end, Gu Wuzhi became the patriarch, this was Gu Wuzhi who came to ask for it himself, and he said to Gu Qingchu that he wanted to try it and see if he could do it well.
Gu Qingchu happily agreed, after the three white-eyed wolves came out of the clan, she didn't value these clansmen at all, the clansmen were still quite knowledgeable, and she couldn't tolerate jumping up and down.
Since Gu Wuzhi is willing, let him take care of it, which can be regarded as an experience.
Gu Wuzhi's change Gu Qingchu saw it in his eyes, and he was a little relieved in his heart, it was crooked before, and now it is good to correct it.
At the beginning, Gu Wuzhi wanted to sell his daughter, Gu Qingchu simply hated iron and steel, and later learned that he was selling his daughter, but in fact, he asked Gu Wanran to be an embroidery girl and go to the show to work.
At that time, Gu Wuzhi was gambling on the red eye, so it was not considered to be selling his daughter, and the young lady of the Prince's Mansion had no reason to do the work.
This is also the reason why Gu Wuzhi was later exempted from a heavy punishment, if he really had the intention of selling his daughter, Gu Qingchu would probably let Gu Wuzhi be abolished, the tiger poison still does not eat children, and really pushed his daughter into the fire pit, such a person is also a scourge to stand up.
