"What do you mean by that?" The emperor sensed that Gu Gangqian wanted to say something.

"Father, aren't you curious? Why did other generals try their best to recover the lost territory, but as soon as General Guan left, the two sides reconciled? ”

"That's enough." The emperor interrupted Gu Gangqian in time, he didn't like his cleverness.

"Father, the emperor ......," Gu Gangqian still wanted to say.

"I said, enough is enough!" The emperor was furious.

He knew that Gu Gangqian wanted to say that it was very likely that Guan Qin Chao had reached some kind of agreement with the other party and became a traitor when he was fighting with the Star Wolf Clan on the border.

The emperor knew that such a matter was very serious and could happen, but now that one thing had not been dealt with, he had no way to investigate another matter.

And the most important thing now is that he must not be instigated to be resolute in his heart.

He must believe in Guan Qinchao, and he must not hurt the heart of the general who protects the country.

For a while, the hall was quiet, and the birds in the imperial garden could be clearly heard.

"Go back, I'm tired."

Gu Gangqian stopped struggling and left the palace.

Jiang Ruanyan, who was in the palace, soon heard the news, saying that the emperor had arrested the person back, but the person who was arrested, she never thought that it was Guan Qin Chao.

How is this possible, there must be something wrong, she wanted to go out to find Gu Shenyuan, but the guard at the door stopped her.

Bingyue followed her, "Don't mess around now. ”

Jiang Ruanyan was in a hurry, and she didn't want to be impulsive.

"However, it is impossible to think about this with his toes, General Guan did this, he is a general who protects the country, and he should have meritorious, how can he be wronged as soon as he returns to the capital?"

Jiang Ruanyan is the most reluctant to see good people wronged.

Bingyue forcibly pulled her back into the house,

"I know you don't want to, and I don't want to do this, but now the more you toss the emperor's side, the more chaotic it will be, if something goes wrong in the middle, Guan Qinchao will most likely be killed by us."

Jiang Ruanyan knew that this matter was not a joke.

Guan Qinchao has been arrested in the dungeon now, and she knows everyone about the Xiangyang Village case.

Although Guan Qinchao is only a suspect now, in the eyes of the uninformed people, it is very likely that the murderer is him.

If she continues to mess around, there is a real chance that she will kill an innocent person.

"So what do we do now?"

"You calm down and think about it, the emperor has asked him some questions today, but the emperor did not punish him, but just put him in a dungeon."

Bingyue guided Jiang Ruanyan and asked her to think more about better places.

"That proves that the emperor is still trying to find a way to save her, and as long as we wait quietly for the emperor's investigation during this time, he will definitely take care of Qin Chao's innocence."

Bingyue's analysis was very reasonable, Bai Ruoguan also nodded beside her, she didn't want Jiang Ruanyan to go out, after all, they were still mud bodhisattvas crossing the river now.

I can't do anything when I go out.

"The emperor is the emperor after all, he thinks more than us, she will definitely deal with this matter carefully, don't worry too much." Bai Ruoguan was also comforting on the side.

Although this did not play a role in appeasing, Jiang Ruanyan had to admit that she was doing a disservice when she went out now, so she could only return to the palace and sit obediently.

Late at night in Gu Gangqian's palace, he folded the secret letter he had just written.

Seeing this, the little eunuch next to him immediately took out a pigeon from the cage and handed it to him.

He himself tied the secret letter to the pigeon's feet, and watched the eunuch go to the door and release it.

The dove flew into the night sky, it flew over the palace walls, about the streets, and flew to the mansion on the outskirts of the city.

When they arrived at the house, the pigeon was trying to find a place to rest, and was not ready to land, when suddenly an arrow shot out of the ground and pierced its body.

The pigeon fell to the ground, fluttered twice, and died.

The men under Kureya stepped forward, picked up the dove from the ground, and handed him the letter.

Turning his head and pulling out the arrow, he threw the pigeon to the second child next to him, and asked him to hurry to the back kitchen to make a roast pigeon.

Kulieya opened the letter, and Gu Gangqian wrote to tell him that everything was ready.

Gu Shenyuan and Jiang Ruanyan had been imprisoned in the palace, and Guan Qin Chao, the strongest opponent of their Star Wolf Clan, had now become a prisoner and was imprisoned in the dungeon, guarded by people on the inner and outer floors.

He folded the paper and lit it on a candle next to him.

"Looks like our good days are coming soon."

In the next three days, after going to court every day, the first thing the emperor did when he returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall was to find the people below to ask, did Guan Qin Chao say anything in the dungeon?

However, the people below, the words they repeated every day were exactly the same as what Guan Qin Chao said in the main hall that day.

The emperor's heart became more and more anxious, and the people below searched for so long, but there was no news at all.

Another group of people came back and said that they had gone to Xihe Village, where General Guan had gone to investigate, and that General Guan Qinchao had indeed brought people to inquire on the night of the incident, but after asking, he had already left at the time of the incident.

According to the distance calculation, Guan Qinchao and his team are also very likely to go to Xiangyang Village to commit murder on the way back, and then rush back to the capital.

Gu Gangqian knew that it was time for him to make a move.

In the evening of that day, he also came to the dungeon, and Lord Ye of the Criminal Department hurriedly came out to meet him, "Meet Your Highness." ”

"Lord Ye, please get up quickly." He enthusiastically stepped forward to help the old man with gray sideburns up.

"Lord Ye has really worked hard today, just after the matter of Jiang Ruanyan and others, I didn't expect to send General Guan in immediately, it's really trickier than a tricky."

Gu Gangqian took out his usual gesture of condolence, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, this is what the lower officials should do." ”

Gu Gangqian showed concern, "It's just that I heard that today's interrogation has not progressed, and my father is very anxious." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lord Ye thought that Gu Gangqian's coming today was the emperor's intention, and he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

"The lower official also wants to share the emperor's worries, and he interrogates him every day, but it is General Guan's retelling, every time it is the same, and the details are not the same, the lower official really can't find the slightest loophole."

He was also in a quandary.

And judging from his usual work experience, if he has asked so many times and has not made any mistakes in the details, it is very likely that he is really not the murderer.

It's just that there is only one suspect sent in now, and the emperor is keeping an eye on it, so he can only ask Qin Chao one by one.

But the answer is always the same.

"Alas, it's no wonder, after all, Guan Qin Chao is a person who has been fighting for a long time, and he has seen the scene of corpses all over the field, Lord Ye, how can he be afraid of your little trick?"

Gu Gangqian smiled weirdly, he was hinting to Lord Ye that he shouldn't interrogate so kindly, and he should use it when it was time to torture.

"This ......" Lord Ye was in trouble.

"Xia Guan thinks that General Guan is only the identity of a suspect now, and there is no conclusive evidence, not to mention that he is a general who protects the country, Xia Guan does not dare to ...... rashly"

Gu Gangqian suddenly laughed, "Lord Ye is really thoughtful. ”

His taunt made Lord Ye next to him break out in a cold sweat.

"I'm afraid you haven't forgotten that every piece of evidence recovered by the Praetorian Guards before pointed to the team he led, isn't this evidence conclusive enough?"

Gu Gangqian knew very well in his heart that these officials were all on Guan Qinchao's side, and of course they helped him maintain it as much as possible.

But three days had passed, and there had been no progress, and he needed to remind them.

It is impossible to save Guan Qinchao's life if it drags on like this, not to mention that they think this is playing at home?

If he keeps putting it off, will he forget about it? It's a joke.

He's still waiting to sit on the throne, but he doesn't have time to play like this.

"And Lord Ye may not know very well how General Guan fought against the Star Wolf Clan on the border."

He told the story to Lord Ye.

"The Star Wolf Clan has always been a ruthless people, they are vulgar and barbaric, of course it is not easy to fight with such people, but our General Guan is not a vegetarian."

The smile on Gu Gangqian's face seemed to be proud that they had such a general, but he didn't think so in his heart.

"To fight against such a fierce nation, Guan Qin Chao must also show extraordinary courage, so after he collects prisoners every time, guess what will happen?"

He deliberately left this suspense to Lord Ye.

Lord Ye replied tentatively, "Do you treat them as coolies?" ”

Gu Gangqian smiled and shook his head, these civil officials just thought everything was so beautiful and romantic.

"He will take those captives to the clearing, and kill them one by one in front of everyone in the Star Wolf Clan!"

Lord Ye was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

"Not only that, but when he storms the city and plunders the pond to regain the lost territory, he will also gather all the people of the Star Wolf Clan in the territory and burn them alive."

Gu Gangqian told Lord Ye the story word by word, and Lord Ye's heart was pulled together.

How could General Guan do this?

"But, but the emperor said that Tianlun would treat the captives preferentially."

Gu Gangqian smiled.

"General Guan does this, naturally he also has his considerations, so many prisoners surviving on the border will consume a lot of military food, then our soldiers will not have enough to eat."

He began to help Guan Qin Chao speak.

"Besides, it's also a disaster for these people to stay, when will they become spies and secretly send information to the Star Wolf Clan, then it's not our family who suffers?"

Although he had said so much, Lord Ye was still frowning.

Gu Gangqian knew that these people's minds could not tolerate such inhumane things.

He found the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said to Lord Ye.

"So I'm thinking, a person with such cruel means, just rely on Lord Ye's patient interrogation, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything, I'm afraid he still needs to add something else to him."

When he left the dungeon that night, Gu Gangqian remembered that the entanglement in Lord Ye's eyes had turned into hatred.

He didn't care about the lives of those Star Wolf Clan people, he only cared about whether this Lord Ye was reluctant to do it.

Soon, however, the sound of whipping from the dungeon proved that his ploy had worked again.
