Chapter 415: Raiding the House
This is no longer just a matter of collusion between officials and businessmen.
Less than an hour after Gu Chen entered the palace, the palace sent people to Gao's mansion to raid the house, and it was the emperor's guards who came, and the Gao family and his wife were also taken away directly, and as for the Gao family's family members, they were all taken into custody.
When Qin Niang got the news, the Gao family had already copied almost everything, and it was said that the officials who had seen in the morning were only a small part, and after the guards searched inside and out, they carried a number of firearms and explosives out.
When the Gao family was taken away, the Gao family also accused Gu Chen of bullying the monarch from time to time, but in fact, Qin Niang was not missing at all, maybe she was in her own mansion, shouting to see Your Majesty and ask to search Gu's house.
However, no one paid any attention to him at all.
When Qiu Xue came back and talked about it with great enthusiasm, she didn't forget to learn the appearance of the tall man at that time, which made everyone in the room laugh.
"Miss, that tall man shouted in front of so many people regardless of his image, presumably people with a heart also heard it, if His Majesty really sent someone to the mansion to see and found that you were staying in the mansion well, what would you do? In any case, the crime of deceitful is not a small crime. After Qiu Tao smiled, she asked worriedly.
"This must have been planned by Gu Chen, don't worry about it." For this point, Qin Niang's heart is still very determined, Gu Chen never does risky things, since he dares to make things bigger, he is not afraid that things will not end.
When everyone heard this, they also put their hearts down, and thought about it, although Gu Chen was a little crazy, he was still very stable in doing things.
At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and Gu Chen had also returned.
"I heard that Gaofu is very lively today." As soon as Qin Niang saw him, she couldn't help but gossip, "Qiu Xue roughly told me just now, but after all, she was peeking outside, where is it so clear that you are in it." β
Qiu Xue on the side pulled the corners of her mouth, and said in her heart, when her young lady saw her uncle, she didn't hesitate to take her out and step on her, sure enough, if you have the opposite sex, you have no humanity.
However, she is also very interested, since the husband and wife want to be affectionate, they don't have to be an eyesore here.
The maids all consciously withdrew, and closed the door for them very intimately.
"I remember you didn't gossip before, why do you want to know now?" Gu Chen picked up the matching knife, put it on the tea table, hugged her waist, lowered his eyes to look at her face, and the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile, "Are you looking for a topic to chat with me?" β
Qin Niang tugged at his shirt and looked up at him: "You and I are husband and wife, shouldn't there be anything to talk about between husband and wife?" Tell me about the situation in Gaofu, I heard that a lot of firearms and gunpowder were found? β
For this, Qin Niang is still quite frightened.
After all, a small person like the Gao family, even if they were backed by the King of Changle County, she didn't expect that they would dare to hide such a large number of weapons and gunpowder in the mansion of this capital city, thanks to the search for it, if not, who knows what they plan to do with those things.
"Yes, that's so large that it can almost blow up the entire capital." Gu Chen tugged at the corners of his lips, to be honest, he originally just used an excuse to go to the Gao family to search, thinking that he would always be able to find so many things, but he didn't expect to be able to search so much.
From this point of view, this King of Changle County really trusts this Gao family.
Now that the Gao family has fallen, presumably the king of Changle County has also hurt a lot of vitality.
"So, when are you going to let me be 'found'?" Qin Niang asked.
She has been missing for a day and a night, and now that the Gao family has finished copying, she will not be allowed to show her face again, I am afraid that I will not know what it will be like when I turn back.
"Oh, about this, I have already made it clear to Your Majesty, at first the Gao family did want to kidnap you, but you were found by me last night, in order not to startle the snake, so I made such a fuss, Your Majesty was not angry, and praised me for doing a good job." After speaking, he glanced at her, with a look of "why don't you come to praise me".
Qin Niang was speechless, is this emperor too good to speak.
But think about it, today is the poorest emperor in history, as long as anyone can give him money to do things for the country, he will give him a lot of tolerance, not to mention, Gu Chen's matter is actually for the emperor to remove hidden dangers, if he hadn't searched for such a large amount of gunpowder and weapons from the Gao family, I am afraid that he would not know when someone bombarded the palace gate.
"In other words, I can go out in the open now?" Qin Niang asked more uncertainly.
Gu Chen nodded.
"So, how are you going to explain it to the outside? With the same set that I told Your Majesty? "The words of Lord Gao's accusation before, those onlookers who ate melons have heard it, and I don't know how it will be spread at this time.
"You don't have to worry about this, I have already told Jing Zhaoyin and asked him to explain that Master Gao has now been sent to the prison, and the charges have been listed for him, and his life will not be saved, as for those family members, it depends on how His Majesty sentences." Zilang literature
The rest of the things are not in his hands, "However, since the tree of the Gao family has fallen, then we should find a way to find out the hidden dangers of our actions." β
As long as he thought of the boxes of crossbows in the Gao family, and the purpose of the person who captured Qin Niang was to let her draw the picture of the crossbow, he knew that there was a spy around him.
If this spy is not caught, I am afraid that things like this will continue to happen in the future.
"Yes, I actually wanted to tell you when I first came back to this question, those people let me draw pictures after they arrested me, and besides, there seem to be more top craftsmen around them, and the picture I originally drew for him deliberately left some flaws, and the other party was able to see it in such a short time, you say, who will this person be?"
"Also, the thing I drew for you is obviously so secret, and it stands to reason that few people know, but the other party knows very well that I painted it, so he arrested me directly, you say, who knows that I drew that picture?"
She didn't ask about this question in detail, and after handing over the map to Gu Chen, she didn't ask about it, so much so that Gu Chen said that she would take her to meet the cartographer in person, and the matter of the face-to-face communication between the two was shelved because of all kinds of things happening.
So, I know exactly who this picture is who she painted, and who is it.
"In addition to the cartographer, there is Lin Yao and me, and the other one is the craftsman who is responsible for building the repeater." Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and carefully ruled out in his heart, Lin Yao grew up with him since he was a child, and it was impossible for him to betray him.
All that was left was the cartographer and the craftsman.
The cartographer is now a half-dead person, and the cup on his body was still removed by Lin Yao, although it is good, but he can no longer make drawings now, so he has no reason to betray them.
As for the craftsman, he has been with them for many years, and his wife and family are all in the capital, even if he wants to betray them, he has to think about his relatives.
So, it's really hard to say who betrayed them.
"Since there is no object of suspicion, it is better for us to set up a bureau to lure out this inner ghost, so as not to make such a thing happen again next time."
Qin Niang said thoughtfully, "Before people find out, everyone is suspicious, so this plan can't be known to anyone except you and me, and Lin Yao is no exception." β
She specifically pointed out Lin Yao, not because she had any opinions about Lin Yao, but because she felt that before the truth was clarified, in order to ensure the secrecy of the plan, it was better not to let more people know.
"What do you think?" Gu Chen hugged her, sat on the soft couch beside her, pinched the tip of her nose and asked.
Qin Niang smiled like the hairy ball curled up in the corner, which made Gu Chen's heart itch, his throat rolled, and just as he was about to open his mouth, Qin Niang covered his mouth with her hand: "You better don't speak, I'm afraid that as soon as you open your mouth, I can't help but want to kick you out." β
Husband and wife, how could she not understand his reaction just now?
If the image in his mind was allowed to spread, she was afraid that she would not be able to get out of bed again tomorrow morning.
She didn't want to run back to her parents' house for something like this.
Gu Chen stretched out his tongue and licked it on her palm, and then laughed like a cat that had stolen something, Qin Niang subconsciously retracted her hand, and glanced at him angrily, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
She didn't know before that Gu Chen could have no lower limit if he didn't have a face.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you, what are you going to do to lure the snake out of the hole?" Gu Chen put her hand back in her hand and asked, "I would like to hear Mrs. Gao's opinion." β
Qin Niang was sitting precariously and hooked her fingers at him, Gu Chen raised her eyebrows and put her ears up, and after a while, he smiled at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, reached out and pinched her face, and praised: "It is worthy of the woman that my Gu Chen fancies, she is smart." β
"Then I'll paint it now, and you can change this outfit first." Qin Niang stood up, pointed to his clothes, and said with disgust on her face.
Since Gu Chen became a military attachΓ©, most of the clothes he wore were strong suits, and the color looked very old, and there was no fresh energy that a young man should have.
Gu Chen raised his hand to look at himself, then looked at the back of the little woman who quickly slipped away, and shook his head helplessly.
In just a few days, the case of the Gao family has already had a result, the emperor personally judged, the Gao family and his wife were sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, thinking that the county lord of Qinghe did not know the inside story, and the disaster did not affect the three generations, and the remaining eight clans could not be implicated.
And the rest of the Gao family, the men were assigned to the army, the women were demoted to slaves, within a few days, the Gao family gate that was originally still high was sealed in an instant, and those who married out of the Gao family, because they were afraid of being implicated, so they were all taken back, for a while, the Gao family gate was sealed A large number of Gao women, the love shadow was really indescribably spectacular.
As for the Li family, Qin Niang only heard about it later.
