Although Gu Chengen temporarily left Beijing, it does not mean that the Criminal Department is under the full control of Guo Mingshun.

In the Criminal Department, there are naturally people who are still in the Criminal Department.

Therefore, when Du Jiang took the servant into the criminal department, everything went very smoothly.

Of course, Guo Mingshun's first reaction when he saw the servant was incredible.

Because he knew that as the only witness who could identify Gu Jinli, Mrs. Yin would definitely hide him well.

However, unexpectedly, this person not only fell into the hands of Qi Hao, but also honestly signed and signed the truth.

Although Guo Mingshun was very puzzled by this, he couldn't make small moves for the time being, and he could only admit that Yin Er's injury had nothing to do with Gu Jinli.

After reporting the results to the palace, Gu Jinli could recuperate with peace of mind.

As for who wants to assassinate Yin Er, anyway, the murder weapon is still in the Criminal Department, if Mrs. Yin wants to investigate, then let him start from the dagger!

In the Yixin courtyard, Shuang'er cautiously looked at Yin Suwan, who had a cold face, and whispered, "Princess, Baozhu...... What should we do with Baozhu's corpse? ”

Yin Suwan sent Shuang'er twice to inform Qi Hao, but Qi Hao insisted on refusing to come.

She knew his temper, but she didn't expect him to be more serious with her this time.

Clenching her fists to death, Yin Suwan said after a while: "Throw it away from the mass grave and feed the dogs!" ”

Shuang'er imagined that Baozhu's corpse would be bitten to pieces by wild dogs, and his flesh and blood were blurred, so he couldn't help but tremble and asked, "What about ......it?" What should I do with the three maids that the prince asked Steward Zhou to newly select? ”

"Just find a reason to leave!" Yin Suwan waved her hand, and her eyes were full of anger that was about to erupt.

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Worried that he would accidentally get into trouble, Shuang'er nodded again and again, and then hurriedly retreated.

The slender nails squeezed hard at the tabletop, and with a "click", the nails broke in response.

Yin Suwan looked at the blood pouring out of the broken nails, gritted her teeth and said, "Qi Hao......"

Her countenance was distorted. The sound also seemed to come from hell, and it was scary.

Her eyes fell through the window in the direction of the Fleur Temple, and the hatred in her eyes was even stronger.

At this time, in the Yulu Courtyard, Mrs. Yu, who almost vomited out bile early in the morning, was asking the doctor to take the pulse.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my master? I've been throwing up for days. Feixue stood aside, saw the doctor withdraw his hand, and said worriedly.

The doctor stroked his small beard and pretended to ponder, not in a hurry to answer.

Seeing this, Madam Yu suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

She pinched her handkerchief. He looked flustered and said, "Doctor, if you have anything to say, don't scare me!" ”

The doctor nodded and said, "Madame, don't worry, it's not a big deal." ”

"Recently, the weather has become colder, and most of the things my wife eats are cold foods, and too much cold has accumulated in her stomach, which hurts her stomach." Picking up the brush, the doctor wrote the prescription on the paper and said, "The villain will prescribe a few pairs of medicine to Mrs., just regulate it a little." ”

Lady Yu let out a long sigh of relief. Unconsciously stroked his chest, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”

After checking the pulse, the doctor carried the medicine box, saluted Mrs. Yu, and then prepared to leave.

"Feixue, go and send the doctor." If it was according to the past, how could a person like Madam Yu with eyes on the top of her head be so polite?

However, this time is different.

After all, the doctor came to see her, and since her vomiting was only due to a bad stomach, then she naturally went to a major heart disease.

in this world. The person who can't be offended the most is the doctor.

Because people grow up eating whole grains, where is there anyone who doesn't get sick?

So, the doctor will definitely use it.

If you offend the doctor, you may not even know how to die!

"Yes, master." Feixue nodded and sent the doctor out of the gate of Gyokuro-in.

Seeing that there was no one around, the two of them went to a hidden place on the side.

"How? Is the master happy? Blizzard lowered her voice and asked.

The doctor nodded and whispered, "Well, nine times out of ten, you can't be wrong." ”

After hearing this, Feixue became a little anxious, "Don't be nine out of ten, is there or not?" ”

The doctor's tone became affirmative this time, "The old man has been diagnosing the pulse for many years, and he has never missed it. ”

"Looking at Madame's pulse, the fetus should be less than a month old, but this vomiting reaction is too early, which may also be related to personal physique."

"Good!" Feixue's face was overjoyed, she took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, and asked uneasily: "The fetal medicine I told you, can you add it to the prescription?" ”

The doctor put away the money and said, "The old man did what the girl ordered." ”

"Well, remember, this matter should not be publicized, otherwise you should know the consequences!" Feixue glared at the doctor, and her tone suddenly hardened.

"Yes, yes, the old man knows." The doctor was in dire need of money, so he started to do this thing that violated medical ethics, and hurriedly answered, and he slipped out the back door.

Blizzard thought that it would not be long before her mission would be completed.

When the time comes, she will be able to leave the palace and go back to the countryside to live a happy life with Brother Erniu, and the steps towards Yulu Courtyard can't help but be brisk.

"Da Da Da", the carriage to Jiyang did not stop all night.

After learning that there were only less than twenty miles left from Jiyang, Gu Chengen ordered to rest on the spot.

"Master, there's a letter from Jingzhong." When Gu Chengen was drinking water, the entourage handed him a secret letter.

After Gu Chengen read it quickly, his expression was indistinguishable.

Seeing that he was not in a good mood, the attendant asked, "Master, could it be that Xuan Shizi didn't rescue the second young lady?" ”

Gu Chengen shook his palm, and the secret letter instantly turned into powder under the power of his palm.

Shaking his head, Gu Chengen looked into the distance with a faint gaze. Said slowly: "Ah Li is now out of the prison of the Criminal Department, but ...... The person who took the lead in saving her was Qi Hao, not Chen Zexuan. ”

"Lord Ning?" When the attendant heard this, he was very surprised.

Gu Chengen took a deep breath, the smile on the corner of his lips was both helpless and a hint of jealousy, "Yes, who would have thought that it would be him?" ”

After learning that Gu Jinli was arrested yesterday, he really wanted to put on his wings and fly back to save her.

However, in desperation, he could only seek help from others.

At that time, he thought that no matter who it was, as long as he could save Gu Jinli.

But when he knew that it was really Qi Hao who saved Gu Jinli, his heart began to feel uncomfortable again.

It's not that he doesn't want Gu Jinli to be saved, but the person he doesn't want to save Gu Jinli in his heart is Qi Hao......

There is no way, it seems that anyone can, only Qi Hao can't.

Perhaps, in his subconscious, Qi Hao was the only one who had the ability to take Gu Jinli away from him.

Whether it is body or mind, Qi Hao is a powerful rival in love......

That's right, although Gu Jinli is his sister, in his eyes, Qi Hao is a rival in love.

"Master, it's good that the second young lady is rescued, as for who saved it...... It doesn't matter, does it? The attendant looked at the faint unhappiness floating between Gu Chengen's eyebrows, worried that he had delayed this important matter for Gu Jinli's matter, and persuaded in a low voice: "The emperor asked you to come to Jiyang, in fact, on the bright side, this is also a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions." ”

"Although the bandits in Jiyang are ferocious, as long as we eradicate those thieves who don't know the height of the sky, then when you go back, not only the emperor, but even those who make stumbling blocks for the Gu family behind their backs will be impressed by you!"

Gu Chengen pursed his lips and said after a while: "Let's go." ”

Over the years, he has tried his best to gain a firm foothold in the court, although he is ostensibly relying on the identity of the prime minister's son-in-law, in fact, no one knows how much he has paid behind his back.

The reason why he worked so hard was for the Gu family at first, but when he met Gu Jinli, his mind changed.

Those glory, those halos, he no longer only won for the Gu family, but wanted to show all his pride to Gu Jinli.

He wanted her to know that he was a good man.

Although, as a half-brother......

It's just that in front of Qi Hao, he always seems to be easily compared......

The attendant nodded, and motioned for the coachman to lead the carriage over.

Before Gu Chengen got into the car, he only heard a "whoosh", and several arrow feathers pierced the sky and shot towards this side from all directions.

"Master, be careful!" While dodging the cold arrows that were approaching in front of him, the attendant waved the sword in his hand to resist.

"Woo hoo woo hoop", and immediately after, dozens of masked men also came out of the woods.

Some of them have meteor hammers in their hands. Some were holding maces, some were holding nine-ring broadswords, and some were holding modest long whips or sharp swords.

Looking at their outfits, they must be bandits.

Is...... Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

The other party said that there were thirty-five or six people, and the people on Gu Chengen's side were almost forty people.

In terms of numbers, they are evenly matched.

But in terms of strength, the bandits in Jiyang are very famous and cannot be underestimated.

On the battlefield, momentum is important.

Therefore, the attendant shouted: "Bold thief, those who know each other quickly restrain their hands!" ”

The person at the head is slender, half of his face is covered by a face scarf, and he can't see his appearance, but his eyes are very smart, and his voice is also crisp and pleasant: "Tied up?" Dream on! ”

"Dog officer, take your life!"

When the words fell, he took the lead in waving a long whip and swept towards Gu Chengen, while the other thieves also fought with Gu Chengen's men and horses.

Gu Chengen narrowed his eyes, and when the man's long whip was about to sweep to his chest, he flew away, pulled out the soft sword at his waist, and fought with him.

One with a long whip, one with a sharp sword.

One is dressed in red with patches of flowers, and the other is dressed in blue.

The two figures, every move and style are merciless.

Step by step, move to kill.

Gu Chengen was already holding back a breath in his heart, just so that he could vent.

With a twist of the sword in his hand, he made a false move, and stabbed the sword towards the face of the bandit leader.

"It's a good peaceful life, but since you're bent on looking for death, then I'll give you a ride!"

The bandit leader couldn't dodge, so he could only raise his breath and turn over, so the sword only slashed his side face.

After he landed, not only did the face towel fall to the ground, but even the hairband on his head was cut off by Gu Chengen's sword qi.

Three thousand ink hair fluttered in the wind, revealing a delicate face without losing a touch of heroism.

Gu Chengen hooked his lips and sneered: "It turned out to be a woman!" ”

The woman subconsciously touched her face, realizing that she had exposed her identity, her beautiful eyes glared, she raised her whip and hit Gu Chengen with her head and face, and scolded in her mouth: "What's wrong with the woman?" Does the old lady eat your rice, or drink your cold water? ”

"Dog officer, I'll kill you!" I don't know if it was because of the exposure of her identity and anger, or if the officials and bandits were old enemies, in short, the long whip in the woman's hand was lightning fast, like a thunderstorm. One by one, "popping" fell.

Gu Chengen's light skills are excellent, and he can always dodge the whip in time before it hits the ground.

As a result, the woman became even more annoyed, "Bastard! ”

"Insulting the court officials, your courage is really not small!" It's also strange to say, if this is something that can be done in the past, Gu Chengen will not talk nonsense.

What's more, you are still facing a group of bandits?

However, after this fight, it may be that he has a frustration attack, or it may be that he has not met an opponent whose martial arts are comparable to him for a long time. In short, his mood that had just been bored was much better in an instant.

"Heh, if the old lady is not bold, how dare she come to kill you, a dog official!" The woman took a sip of Gu Chengen, and the whip in her hand became even more ruthless.

This woman's appearance is not bad, and her age looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but Gu Chengen couldn't help frowning when she heard the woman say a "lady" and a "dog official", "The mountain and wild women are really vulgar!" ”

"Grandma's!" After hearing this, the anger in the apricot eyes became even stronger, and she reached out and groped in her arms, "Boom", and then several poison darts shot towards Gu Chengen's chest.

Gu Chengen snorted coldly, and did not dodge, but kicked the poison dart to the side.

"Ahh , with a miserable scream, I saw that the poison dart just pierced the arm of a small bandit who was fighting with his entourage.

The little bandit was not very old, and he seemed to be an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

"Bang", when he was injured, Gu Chengen's entourage took the opportunity to kick him to the ground.

With a flash of cold light, the woman's pupils shrank, and she gave up the entanglement with Gu Chengen, and then a flying body pounced on the child, "Little Liuzi!" ”

"Poof", the sword that should have been stabbed in the child's chest was stabbed into the woman's lower abdomen.

Blood poured out of the wound, staining the patch with the small flowers.

"Sister Fang, Sister Fang! Woo woo......" Seeing that the woman was bleeding, Xiao Liuzi was so frightened that he also cried in his voice, and turned his head to the five big and three thick men on the side and shouted: "Brother Dog, Sister Fang is injured!" ”

The man, who was called "Brother Dog", picked up the meteor hammer in his hand and knocked the two guards to the ground, and then tripped the entourage who had stabbed the woman to the ground with a leg sweep.

The round eyes glared angrily, his dark and thick eyebrows rose up, and his dark face was dyed with a trace of murderous aura, "If you dare to hurt my big boss, I will destroy you little bitch!" ”

"Bang", as he finished speaking, the meteor hammer slammed into the back of the squire.

"Sister Fang, how are you?" Xiao Liuzi helped the woman up and said nervously.

Seeing that Gu Chengen was about to come over again with a sword, the woman threw a few smoke bombs at Gu Chengen while holding Xiao Liuzi in her arms, and said loudly: "Brother Dog, withdraw!" ”

"Grandma's!" Brother Gouzi has always been the only master's fate, although he still wanted to stay for another three hundred rounds of the battle, but he still obeyed her, and also dropped a few smoke bombs, and said to the other bandits: "Brothers, go!" ”

"Bang bang!" , several explosions in succession, and in an instant, the entire forest was filled with smoke, and you couldn't see your five fingers.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

This smoke bomb contained a pungent poisonous gas, Gu Chengen and everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, and couldn't help coughing.

It took a while for the pesky smoke to clear.

The entourage who had been hit by a meteor hammer struggled to get up from the ground, he had followed Gu Chengen for many years, and he was rarely in a passive beating.

Therefore, holding his injured waist, he said with an unsightly face: "Master, my subordinates will arrest those thieves and dismantle them!" ”

Gu Chengen knew that his entourage had always been a high-minded and arrogant person, glanced at his waist that couldn't stand upright, and said coldly: "Don't worry, you will enter Jiyang soon, and you won't be in a hurry to clean them up for a while!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he said again: "Count the number of people and get on the road!" ”

The entourage gritted his teeth unwillingly, suppressed his anger and said, "Yes, master! ”

Soon, the number of people was counted.

Five of Gu Chengen's men were injured and three were killed.

And the other person. Three people were injured and two were killed.

Judging from the number of casualties, it is really a group of powerful bandits, no wonder even the old emperor was alarmed.

Gu Chengen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There must be more than just such a person in the other party's hands, Yun Peng, this time you must not take it lightly." ”

Yue Yunpeng nodded and said in a muffled voice: "My subordinates know." ”

Gu Chengen said "um", then got into the carriage and set off again.

In Taifu's mansion, Guo Mingshun said unhurriedly while blowing the hot tea in the cup: "Brother Yin." Now that it's over, don't be angry anymore. ”

"If you are angry, why should you punish yourself with the mistakes of others?"

After that, he sniffed the tea pleasantly.

"Hmph, Brother Guo doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks!" When Mrs. Yin heard this, his already ugly face was even more gloomy.

Slapping the table heavily, he said angrily: "If it hadn't been for the kid Qi Hao killed halfway, Gu Jinxiu would have been in the eighteenth layer of hell a long time ago!" ”

"Damn, really hateful!"

Guo Mingshun took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Brother Yin, today Prince Ning sent someone to clear Gu Jinxiu's charges. ”

"Do you still want to investigate the person who hurt Yin Ergongzi behind his back?"

"Heh, the person who hurt Lin'er is obviously Gu Jinxiu, but in order to exonerate her, Qi Hao did not hesitate to lie that there was something wrong with the dagger, and he really did everything!" Mrs. Yin's old eyes flashed with a sharp touch, and he sneered: "Over the years, the reason why I have unswervingly supported Qi Hao is that I have taken a fancy to his imperial domineering and decisive wisdom. ”

"I've always thought he was a big deal, but now it seems that I'm blind!"

His tone was full of mockery, and he shook his head and said, "A person who doesn't even care about loyalty to the party for the sake of women." Why does the old man swear allegiance to him? ”

Guo Mingshun put down the teacup and pretended to comfort: "Brother Yin, you can't say that." ”

"Although Lord Ning said that what he did this time was a bit excessive, but no matter what, the two of you are both sons-in-law, if you make too much trouble, I'm afraid you won't be able to get over your face, right?"

"Face?" When Mrs. Yin heard this, the old man's face turned red with anger: "Yesterday in the prison, if he had taken care of the old man's face, would he have confronted the old man in front of so many people?" Will you give the old man that kick? ”

While speaking, Mrs. Yin's emotions became excited again, and the abdomen that had been kicked by Qi Hao yesterday seemed to ache faintly again.

"That's it, let's not mention Lord Ning." Guo Mingshun saw that it was almost time to sow discord, so he stopped the topic.

Pouring a cup of tea for Mrs. Yin, he smiled and said, "Brother Yin, in fact, you hate the Gu family, and you don't necessarily have to attack Gu Jinxiu to relieve your hatred." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Yin held the teacup, listening to Guo Mingshun as if he had something to say, and said urgently: "Brother Guo, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Guo Mingshun hooked his lips and smiled gloomily: "Wasn't Grand Prince Gu sent by the Holy Lord to Jiyang to eliminate bandits?" Think about it, what if he died in the line of duty, at the hands of bandits? ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Mrs. Yin immediately understood what Guo Mingshun meant, stretched out his thumb, and praised him, "Brother Guo's plan is really wonderful!" ”

"Hey, Brother Yin has a good reputation." Guo Mingshun waved his hand modestly, and then changed his words, "But...... I don't think it's a good time to get your hands dirty. ”

"Why?" Hearing Guo Mingyi say this, the joy on Mrs. Yin's face instantly froze.

"Brother Yin, Gu Chengen only set off yesterday, and he will arrive today at the earliest. If we send someone to Jiyang now, we will arrive tomorrow at the earliest. Guo Mingyi smiled and said slowly: "If Gu Chengen is attacked and killed tomorrow." Even if our people are in the name of bandits, they will definitely alarm the emperor. ”

"Once the Gu family is suspicious, the emperor will definitely investigate thoroughly."

"On the contrary, if he is assassinated again on the way back to Beijing to suppress the bandits, then the rest of the party is not cleared, Gu Chengen is dead, and he must have a reputation for negative grace!"

After a pause, he added: "Of course, during the suppression of bandits, if Gu Chengen is really killed by the bandits, there is no need for us to do it, and the Gu family will not be able to push the blame on us, this is the best!" ”

"Good!" Mrs. Yin applauded vigorously, looking at Guo Mingshun's eyes full of admiration, "Brother Guo's plan is excellent, everything is according to Brother Guo's wishes!" ”

Guo Mingshun waved his hand and said sincerely: "Brother Yin and I have been friends for many years, and I feel uncomfortable watching Brother Yin worry about this matter all day long." ”

"Alas, as long as I can get rid of the big trouble for Brother Yin, I will be of some use."

"Brother Guo, what are you talking about?" When Mrs. Yin heard this, she was very moved: "If it weren't for Brother Guo, I guess I wouldn't know what stupid things I would do!" ”

"After so many years in officialdom, it is my blessing to have an old friend like Brother Guo who treats me sincerely."

Guo Mingshun sneered in his heart, and echoed: "Hey, it's my blessing to be able to get acquainted with Brother Yin." ”

There was a "bang", and just as the two looked at each other and smiled, there was the sound of something falling to the ground at the door.

Guo Mingshun's eyes flashed, and he rushed out with an arrow step.

Squinting his old eyes, he glanced back at Mrs. Yin, and then looked at Yin Zike, who was pale, with a gloomy gaze.

Yin Zike clenched his fists, his expression was indescribably shocked, and under his feet was a crooked flower pot.
