Chapter 500: The Firearm Was Robbed
Qin Niang nodded, if she couldn't get out of bed and walk around at will now, she would have to go and see the excitement, after all, what Lin Dashao brought back from thousands of miles must be a good thing.
"I heard that there are a lot of fun gadgets, why don't you go and pick a few for me to relieve my boredom, I can't even get out of bed, I'm about to suffocate." Qin Niang pushed Gu Chen and said.
Gu Chen glanced at her helplessly, and knew that he had indeed suffocated her in the past few days, so he said, "Okay, I'll go show you." β
As soon as Gu Chen left, Qin Niang collapsed on the soft paddle again, staring at the roof with her eyes.
In her life, she has never been so bored as she is at this moment, Gu Chen is afraid that she will be tired, so she won't let her do it, and she won't let her do it, she will be stopped if she wants to read some books, saying that she hurts her eyes.
She ate and drank all day, and she was really stuffy in the house to the point of getting moldy.
After Min Duwei was sent to Dali Temple, he refused to confess at first, but Gu Qing, who was sent to the Duwei Mansion to find out the truth, soon returned.
"You say, Gao Lan is dead?" Gu Chen asked with his eyebrows twisted.
Gu Qing nodded: "Yes, Captain Min probably thought that you sent someone to kill that woman, so he ran to the door like crazy to attack you." β
Gu Chen knew that with the brainless virtue of Captain Min, if Gao Lan gave him some hints after the assassination, making him mistakenly think that he was the murderer he sent someone to do, and then, Gao Lan was seriously injured and died, and Captain Min would properly settle the account on his head.
"Has Captain Min been arraigned?" Gu Chen asked again.
Gu Qing nodded: "I mentioned it, but he didn't want to say anything, the people of the Min family were afraid that they were already crazy at this time, and they were looking for a way around, but after Dali Temple gave a conclusion, Lord Min was also an understanding person, and he immediately knew that his uncompetitive son was planted in the hands of a woman, and at the same time, he was very heartbroken, but also decisive enough, and the people of the Min family stopped making trouble." β
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, this Lord Min gave up this son so quickly, I have to say that this action is really decisive.
"Master, do you want to find out who assassinated Gao Lan?" Gu Qing asked again.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said: "No need, if you want me to die, there are only one or two people left and right in this capital, there is no need to check at all, and no matter whether Min Duwei is used or not, but he has made a mistake after all, and a person like this will never have a chance to be reactivated, so don't worry about him." β
Although he had worked with Min Duwei for so long, he still somewhat liked this person's ability.
But sometimes, what's the use of a person who has only the ability and no brains? He can be confused by a woman today and lose his way, and tomorrow he may be at the mercy of the enemy army to kill more people.
"Since the Min family has already abandoned him, I have only worked with him, and he still wants to kill me, why should I bother to go to him to trace the source Shuoben? That's it, Cheng'an has been out of the city for a few days, is there any news coming back? Gu Chen asked again.
Gu Qing shook his head: "I haven't received the news yet." β
As soon as the words fell, Gu Bai grabbed a pigeon and flashed in: "Master, the news came back from the Seventh Prince, someone robbed their firearms at night, they were ambushed, more than half of them were killed and wounded, and the group is now resting a hundred miles outside the city, they asked, should they go back to Beijing, or continue to stand by over there?" β
As he spoke, Gu Bai handed the note taken from the pigeon's feet to Gu Chen, Gu Chen unfolded it and glanced at it, and then ordered: "Let them go back to Beijing, it's useless to stay there." β
Gu Qing glanced at Gu Chen hesitantly and asked, "Master, the errand that the children of the Seven Emperors received at one time was messed up like this, and when he returns to Beijing, will His Majesty punish him?" β
Isn't the Seven Princes wronged?
Gu Chen tugged at the corners of his lips and said, "Even if you want to punish the crime, it's on the surface, so it's okay." β
In the whole plan, the emperor was naturally aware, so he should know that the batch that the Seventh Prince was responsible for transporting was not the latest style of firearms created in the iron bull iron shop, and even if it was robbed, it would not be of great use.
As for the subtle differences between the firearms used as bait and the firearms they really want to send to the border gates, I believe that those who are in a hurry to jump over the wall should not be able to see for a while.
"Then, the subordinates will retire." Gu Qing and Gu Bai saw that they had nothing to do, so they withdrew.
Everything, Gu Chen has already arranged, and the news that the third prince will return to Beijing soon spread back to the capital, I believe that the king of Changle County should not be able to sit still, he didn't have the time to check the difference between the firearms they robbed one by one.
Sure enough, the news that the Seven Princes had escorted firearms and was robbed reached the palace, and it caused a wave of people to impeach, some said that the Seven Princes were young and inexperienced, and could be dealt with with with them, and some said that the loss of firearms was very important, and if they were not disposed of, it would be difficult for the people to be angry.
In short, the civil servants began another round of verbal warfare.
However, Gu Chen was not interested in participating in these things, and just when these people were arguing, the Seventh Prince came back with the surviving escorts.
As soon as the Seven Princes returned, they went to the emperor to plead guilty, asking the emperor to punish him, and those officials who originally wanted to impeach the Seven Princes suddenly had no place for the prepared words in advance. 135 Chinese
In order to make an appearance, the emperor ordered people to beat the seven princes and thirty boards, and they were grounded for a month, and they were not allowed to leave their bedrooms for half a step without a call.
But some people seemed to think that this disposition seemed to be too light, and they still wanted to say something, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they were blocked by the emperor, and those Song Xi parties reluctantly closed their mouths.
In the ups and downs of the court, the third prince Song Yu was finally about to arrive in the capital.
At this moment, Jiang Guifei, who was locked up in the cold palace, was injured with a firearm in the middle of the night, and for this reason, the entire Tai Hospital was in chaos again.
Although Jiang Guifei was beaten into the cold palace by the emperor, after all, she was the emperor's woman, even if she was temporarily beaten into the cold palace, but those imperial doctors did not dare to slack off.
After all, in this deep palace compound, the honor and favor are not something that can be seen at a glance, today in the cold palace, who knows when the emperor will think of this noble person again, and take her out of the cold palace again?
The fifth prince handed a sign to the palace the next day, asking to enter the palace to see Jiang Guifei, and the emperor agreed.
Since the day of beating the Five Princes, the Emperor listened to the words in Yuehualou, and the Emperor looked at him horizontally and vertically, and as soon as the Five Princes' Mansion was built, he mercilessly drove him to the Five Princes' Mansion outside the palace to live.
Moreover, he was ordered not to enter the palace without a summons, and he was grounded indefinitely.
As soon as the fifth prince entered the palace, he rushed directly to Concubine Jiang's Chuxiu Palace, and howled as soon as he entered the door: "Mother, mother, the son is not filial, it's too lateββ"
He cried all the way into the dormitory almost from outside the palace gate.
The guards guarding outside the palace gate couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths when they saw this, others didn't know, and thought that he was here to mourn, not to visit the sick, and people were not dead yet, and it was too unlucky to be howled by him like this.
It's none of their business, though.
The guards stood outside the door deaf, as if they hadn't heard anything.
The five princes rushed all the way into the inner hall, Jiang Guifei's personal grandmother heard the cry of the five princes, and immediately frowned, and when someone rushed in, she couldn't help but interrupt him: "Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, Niangniang has just suffered some minor injuries, what do you want to do with such crying and howling?" β
She almost didn't directly reprimand him for being unorthodox.
"Where is my mother's injury?" The fifth prince stopped crying and asked blankly.
The old lady almost couldn't help but roll her eyes, she didn't know where the injury was, and she dared to cry and run in like this, if the emperor saw it, he should be disciplined again.
However, after all, this is the child she watched grow up, she was just displeased, and she could only say patiently: "Niangniang just injured her arm, the imperial doctor has already seen it, and there is no worry about her life, but it will hurt more if she is injured by the firecracker, Niangniang is hurting at this time, Fifth Highness, you are quiet." β
Only then did the fifth prince realize his gaffe just now, wiped his tears embarrassedly, glanced at the old lady gratefully, and then raised his feet and entered Jiang Guifei's bedroom.
As the old grandmother said, Jiang Guifei did only hurt her arm, and she did not hurt the vital point, so it is good to raise it for a while.
It's just that Jiang Guifei is a pampered woman after all, and a hole was suddenly pierced on that white jade arm, and that look is really scary, for this reason, Jiang Guifei has fainted several times, and keeps grabbing the imperial doctor to ask if there will be a scar in the future.
The imperial doctor is really embarrassed, such a scar is inevitable, but looking at Jiang Guifei's appearance, if they directly told her that there would be a scar, presumably she would not let them leave this Chuxiu Palace, and then they had to look for death and life in front of them from time to time, and it was a headache to cry and cry.
So, the courtyard said that he was willing to go to the Lin Mansion for her to ask Lin Shao if he had any special ointment that could remove scars, if not, he asked Lin Shao to study and study the scar as much as possible, so that Jiang Guifei finally let them go.
At this moment, he was humming, when he heard the sound of the fifth prince crying and howling, and his mood couldn't help but become more irritable.
Why are other people's sons quite brainy, why did she give birth to such a heartless child, if he hadn't been talking nonsense outside last time, she wouldn't have been implicated and relegated to the cold palace by the emperor to think about it.
To put it nicely, she thought about it, but she understood that their Jiang family was finished, and she didn't know if she would be able to come out in this life.
Fortunately, God helped her after all, allowing her to move out of the cold palace with this injury.
As long as she is let out of the cold palace, everything can still be saved.
No one knew what the fifth prince said to Jiang Guifei after entering the Chuxiu Palace, and when he came out of the Chuxiu Palace again, the guards guarding outside obviously felt that there seemed to be something different about the five princes.
But I can't say what the difference is.
After the fifth prince left Concubine Jiang, he went to the imperial study to find the emperor.
