The man was annoyed and angry: "Who harms, harms ...... Hmph, you are all lackeys who support Ning Lianghou, not good people! ”

"If your mouth is not clean, it's better to plug it." Yuan Jinpei got up, and the guard quickly stepped forward and forced the socks he had just taken out back into the man's mouth.

"If Miss Gu doesn't mind, how about letting me interrogate?" Yuan Jinpei proposed.

The Assassin's weakness was too obvious to be interrogated early in the morning.

"I'm sorry for the trouble." Gu Qingchu thanked him.

With Gu Qingchu's consent, Yuan Jinpei took the person to the alley where he lived before, and Huang Er, who was caught last time, was also interrogated there.

When other officials go out of Beijing, they either inspect the people's situation or travel in the mountains and rivers, but only the Tianwei Division always has to set up a house in a place to be used as a cell for interrogating and detaining prisoners, and the characteristics are distinct.

Because of the temporary situation of this assassin, the return trip to Beijing was postponed for a day, and on the second day, Gu Qingchu finished breakfast, and the guards of the Tianwei Division came to Qiyuan Pavilion to say that his family was invited.

Chengmo Pavilion

Last night, Yuan Jinpei did not interrogate in person, but only told the guards the "direction of action", and his subordinates handed over the transcript early this morning.

"He has been interrogated, his name is Zhou Ran, and the people from Xuzhou ............"

The assassin's name was Zhou Ran, and his uncle was a military general stationed in Qingzhou that year, when Gu Qingchu led the Gu family army to fight against the Southern Barbarians, according to the order of the imperial court, Zhou Ran's uncle led the garrison to join the Gu family army to fight against the Southern Barbarian army together.

Zhou Ran said that Ning Lianghou was a treacherous villain, deliberately let his uncle lead the soldiers in front, let them die, and did not come for reinforcements, and finally his uncle became a defeated general and died on the battlefield, and Ning Lianghou had a great achievement.

The Zhou family thought that Ning Lianghou's credit was obtained by selling the lives of his comrades, so Zhou Ran would have a contempt for Ning Lianghou.

This time, he heard the news that Ning Lianghou had woken up, and came to avenge his uncle without telling his family, and she wanted to pay for his dead uncle and those soldiers who died in vain.

"In the battle outside Huainan that year, there were indeed heavy casualties." Yuan Jinpei said quietly, it was also from that scene that Gu Qingchu led the army all the way.

Gu Qing was speechless after hearing this, according to the memory in his mind, there was absolutely no such thing. Looking at Yuan Jinpei's expression again, I don't know if he believes it or not.

"I'm going to see him." Gu Qingchu wants to figure it out, she doesn't carry the pot for no reason.

followed Yuan Jinpei and Gu Qingchu to his original residence in the alley.

It is true that there are no people living here, I don't know if it is to conform to the temperament of the cell, as soon as I enter the courtyard, it is full of gloomy meaning, it is the summer when the trees are green, but the two trees in the courtyard have yellow leaves and withered, miserable.

When he entered the room, he felt a cold and damp breath, and in the center Zhou Ran hung on the beam with a rope tied to his wrist, and the person was awake, he lowered his head and his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression was uneasy.

Gu Qingchu looked up and down, except for some dark circles under his eyes, Zhou Ran's underwear was loose and folded to expose his chest, and there were no scars on his body.

The interrogation methods of the Tianwei Division...... Could it be an internal injury?

"I've said what I should say, what more do you ask! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! ”

Zhou Ran's angry voice made Gu Qingchu deny the idea of internal injuries before.

"What's your uncle's name?"

Hearing Gu Qingchu's voice, Zhou Ran raised his head and opened his eyes suddenly, and then his face turned red, he wanted to shut up and not answer, but when he received Yuan Jinpei's threatening gaze, he grinded his teeth and said helplessly: "Zhou Renfang"

Zhou Renfang, Gu Qingchu's lips opened slightly and whispered like a memory, and Zhou Ran was stunned again, thinking about how much his face turned pale last night, and he looked down at the ground silently.

Gu Qingchu clenched her left hand into a fist and slapped the palm of her right hand, and she remembered.

"When the Southern Barbarians came to Qingzhou Chixia, it was a critical time for me to develop an antidote, and your uncle was belligerent, thinking that I was cowardly and delaying time to find a way out. He led his troops to kill the enemy without my consent, and was captured by the Southern Barbarians, who demanded that I open the city gates, otherwise I would kill 3,000 soldiers, including your uncle.

On the last day of the stalemate between the two armies, your uncle and others fought back desperately at night, and the enemy was so numerous that they finally died under the sword.

Your uncle has violated the military order by leading the troops privately, but I didn't report it because he had the backbone to be a traitor and he was killed and everyone pleaded for mercy, so I didn't report it, but only regarded it as a normal battle between the two armies and died.

Otherwise, your family would have been affected by your uncle by now! I kindly let the Zhou family live, and now they are still here to assassinate me?! ”

According to the military law at that time, Zhou Renfang, who did not listen to the orders of his superiors, sent troops to defeat and became prisoners, and killed thousands of soldiers, his family members would also be disciplined.

At that time, the rest of the generals interceded for Zhou Renfang, and the dead were Zhou Renfang's personal soldiers, and the willingness to follow Zhou Renfang was not forced by his military orders, Gu Qingchu did not delve into it.

"Impossible! I won't believe your rhetoric! Zhou Ran shook his head, the hatred that their family had remembered for thirty years could not be an oolong.

Gu Qingchu lucked his luck and resisted the urge to slap the person in front of him to death and asked, "Who told you that I hurt your uncle?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Ran didn't say anything, Yuan Jinpei narrowed his eyes and said, "Toast and don't eat and drink?" ”

Zhou Ran's breath was obviously confused when he heard this, and he pursed his lips and said: "It's my uncle's personal servant, Zhang Heng, who is now a housekeeper in my house." ”

"I am not the only one who knows about your uncle, many generals know, everyone is willing to help Zhou Renfang hide it because of the old feelings, if you don't believe it, I can confront the housekeeper after returning to Beijing, if you don't believe it, I can find the generals who were present at the time, and listen to what they have to say."

Gu Qingchu is upright, she is not afraid of shadows.

A trace of confusion flashed in Zhou Ran's eyes, what the hell is going on?

This hatred is not dared to be preached by their family, as the housekeeper said, no one will believe it, and they will be accused of slandering Ning Lianghou, and they can't even ask for justice in their hearts.

And now it's all fake?

And also

"Are you Ning Lianghou?!"

The shocking information came one after another, and Zhou Ran was dizzy.

Gu Qingchu did not answer this question.

"Tomorrow you go back to Shengjing with me, I want to see what the honest butler means." After leaving such a sentence, Gu Qingchu came out of the cell.

The two people who came out of the courtyard walked side by side, Yuan Jinpei turned his head and said, "Miss Gu, I believe in you." ”

Gu Qingchu smiled back: "Thank you Lord Yuan for your trust." ”

Under the banyan tree next to the street, the breeze blows, and the atmosphere of men and women facing each other is beautiful and peaceful. It's a pity that it's just an appearance, and it was quickly broken by two women passing by chatting.

"That's it, I found eight girls from our yard to play yesterday, it's interesting......" The two flower girls said and laughed.

Among them, the flower girl in purple clothes pointed to the door of the room, which was Yuan Jinpei's "cell"

Gu Qingchu looked at the two girls walking away, and looked at Yuan Jinpei's eyes with a very story.

The warm smile on Yuan Jinpei's face was still the same, but the hand holding the fan was obviously stiff. "I can explain."

"Lord Yuan, there is no need to explain, I believe you are not such a person." Gu Qingchu replied the same words to Yuan Jinpei, but his rolling eyes didn't look like that.

Yuan Jinpei: "No, I have to explain. ”

Gu Qingchu: "No, I believe in Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Jinpei: "I'll explain. ”

Gu Qingchu: "I really don't need to, I really believe you." ”

Yuan Jinpei gritted his teeth: "I want to explain!" ”

Gu Qingchu smiled lightly: "Okay, you say." ”
