Concubine Hui looked down at the nails coated with impatiens juice, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and the corners of her mouth pulled a little smile: "My son is right, Gu Lingyu is no longer Gu Lingyu if he leaves the Gu family, besides, this kind of person must not stay by his side, he can even betray his loved ones, how can he really assist you?"

King Ning bowed his head and echoed: "What the mother concubine said is that the sons and daughters also think so!"

Concubine Hui remembered something, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "But he knows a lot of things about us, how are I going to deal with it?"

King Ning snorted lightly, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "If he knows that this king can still spare his life, if not, don't blame this king for being ruthless and send him to the Yellow Spring!"

The mother and son were very cold-blooded in their words, and they seemed to have forgotten their eagerness when they asked for help!

"King Jin is no longer a threat, King Qu will definitely die, and now my son is the most likely candidate to inherit the crown prince!" Concubine Hui felt excited when she talked about this, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, all these years of fighting were finally not in vain.

King Ning was not as optimistic as Concubine Hui, and frowned: "But the beggar in Changxin Palace has been very loved by his father recently, and there are rumors in the palace..." ”

"Hugh wants to talk nonsense, how can a lowly person cross you!" Concubine Hui interrupted King Ning's words sharply and scolded: "Comparing yourself to him is simply lowering your status. ”

King Ning didn't dare to refute, and Nuo Nuo lowered his head and said yes.

Concubine Hui frowned when she looked at it, and said in a softened tone: "He didn't have any foundation in the harem in the previous dynasty, and now that he is crowned a prince, it is the emperor's mercy, if he still dares to think about the position of the prince, don't blame this palace for not accommodating him!"

A beggar-like person dares to go against her son three or four times, and she tolerates it but does not mean conniving!

King Ning listened to Concubine Hui's words, his maternal grandfather was in charge of the guards of the Inner Nine Cities, and it was easy to kill him, a prince who had no power, no power, and no name.

Peng Zhan went all the way back to the General's Mansion and came to the Mohe Garden, where he saw his sister who was quietly copying scriptures, and said with a smile: "You are so idle here in the whole of Kyoto." ”

The matter of the Gu family shook Kyoto, and now it has spread all over the streets and alleys, but I am afraid that without ten days and a half months, the turmoil will not be able to subside!

Peng Mo raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Peng Zhan, who was dressed in court clothes, standing at the door, got up and asked with a chuckle, "What does the eldest brother mean by this?"

Peng Zhan sat down by himself, poured two cups of tea, took a sip, and said, "The Gu family attempted to rebel." ”

"Yes. Peng Mo sat opposite Peng Zhan, heard the words lightly, picked up the teacup and held it in his hand, watching the tea leaves in the cup rise and fall.

Peng Zhan looked at Peng Mo so calmly, and couldn't help asking, "Sister is not surprised?"

Peng Mo looked at Peng Zhan with watery eyes, and asked softly: "Why are you surprised by what you expected?"

Peng Zhan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "The Gu family rebelled, you already expected it?"

Peng Mo hooked his lips and smiled, explaining: "King Qu is all the hope of the Gu family, how can Gu Xian and Gu Qian sit idly by, let alone Concubine Xian regards her son as her life!"

Peng Zhan couldn't keep up with his sister's thinking, scratched his head and said, "And then?"

"At the banquet of the envoy receiving the wind, the evidence of King Qu's poisoning is conclusive, the emperor will not, and he will not dare to cover up, and the Gu family is desperate, so they can only fight against the other and fight for a life!"

Peng Mo paused as he spoke, frowning slightly: "It's a pity, the children of the Gu family are all civil officials, if there are one or two military attachés, they will not be defeated!"

Peng Zhan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "You said, today the emperor summoned me to the palace and disposed of Gu Xian and Concubine Xian in front of me, is there any intention to beat me?"

"Naturally, there is. Peng Mo smiled sarcastically, the hand holding the cup tightened a little, and said coldly: "Big brother doesn't have to worry about this matter, the affairs of the Gu family have already caused turmoil in the imperial court, if the emperor attacks the general's mansion again at this time, I am afraid that this great yong will embark on the road of overturning!"

Dayong has few generals, without her brothers, neighboring countries are attacking, who does the emperor send to defend against the enemy?

Peng Zhan nodded, what my sister said is right, the head of the civil official has been broken, and if it is a military attaché, then this great mediocrity is really at the end of the road.

Here, Peng Hao came to the front of the Chengenhou Mansion, looked at the round thing covered by a blood-stained white cloth, frowned and asked, "This is it?"

Hearing this, Lao Yang, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion of Cheng'en, stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said, "Exactly, this morning got up, and this head was hung in front of the door of the Hou Mansion. ”

Peng Hao nodded, and glanced sideways at the official who was following him.

The official stepped forward very clearly, lifted the white cloth, and a bloodstained face was revealed in front of the person.

The surrounding onlookers all shouted in surprise when they saw this scene, and the bombardment of discussions came and went.

"Didn't the Chengenhou Mansion offend people and humiliate them by hanging this person's head?"

"Quite possibly, if not who would have bothered to do so. ”

"Oh, there are people hanging at the door of this mansion, but Chengenhou Mansion is the first one!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion will be unlucky this year!"

“...。 ”

Lao Yang listened to all kinds of discussions, his face was very ugly, and he commanded a few family members and said: "In front of the Hou Mansion, where can they be noisy and presumptuous, go and drive people away." ”

The named family member hurriedly nodded "yes" and went to drive away the onlookers.

Peng Hao looked at the head, frowned and asked, "Steward Yang, do you recognize this head?"

Lao Yang nodded and said, "This person is the wanted suspect, Ping'an." ”

Peng Hao asked again: "Then do you know who hangs this head in front of the mansion?"

"The old slave doesn't know. Lao Yang shook his head.

was talking, and a small room came out of the door, and said respectfully: "Third Prince Peng, our prince is invited." ”

Peng Hao nodded, turned around and ordered, "You stay here to make a record." ”

The officials nodded yes.

Peng Hao looked at the little guy: "Lead the way ahead." ”

The little guy bowed his head and walked towards the house, and Peng Hao followed.

In the garden, in the pavilion, Wei Yingran set up tea and snacks, sat leisurely, saw Peng Hao, and said with a smile: "It's hard for Peng Sangongzi to take a trip." ”

Peng Hao walked into the pavilion, lifted his robe and sat down, and said with a smile: "The prince is polite, the prince invited me to come, but there is a clue to say?"

Wei Yingran's hand pouring tea paused, recovered in an instant, poured tea with a relaxed expression, pushed a cup of tea to Peng Hao's hand, and said with a smile: "For clues, this son still has to ask Peng Sangongzi." As he spoke, he picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked, "It is said that the heads of the people hanging outside the gate of the house are safe?"

Peng Hao nodded with a smile: "I heard Steward Yang say that it was safe, I don't know why this head was hung in front of the Hou Mansion? Who hung it, and what was the purpose of the murderer?"

"Third Prince Peng doesn't know?" Wei Yingran raised his eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly cold.

"What does the prince think I should know?" Peng Hao asked with a smile.

Wei Yingran chuckled, shook his head and said, "Since we don't know, let's guess the murderer's mind!"

Peng Hao pulled his lips, looked at Wei Yingran and said, "Interesting, listen up!"

"Ping'an is the guard next to this son, inexplicably pulled into the homicide, missing for a few days, and now he is killed, but the head is hanging in front of the Hou Mansion, this son thinks... ”

"Slow!" Peng Hao raised his hand to interrupt Wei Yingran's words, frowned, and said, "Listening to the words of the prince, I have doubts in my heart, I wonder if the prince can solve the doubts?"

Wei Yingran didn't feel unhappy because he was interrupted, but said with a smile: "Third Prince Peng asked lightly." ”

"Shizi just said the word inexplicable, missing?" Peng Hao raised his eyebrows: "As far as I know, Ping An is the biggest suspect in the homicide case, and Jing Zhaoyin has been recorded through investigation, and it is not as inexplicably involved as Shizi said, and Shizi said that he got missing, and Ping An knew that the case was exposed, and he just fled." ”

"The prince said that a fugitive is so innocent, but does he mean to cover up? Or is it that Ping An is just acting on orders, and there is someone else behind the murder?"

Wei Yingran listened to the hidden meaning in Peng Hao's words, the smile on his face faded a lot, and looked at Peng Hao's eyes with a deep depth: "Peng Sangongzi's speculation, this son doesn't dare to respond." ”

"Is it speculation?" Peng Hao smiled and said, "Then let's go back to the topic, who does the prince think Ping'an was killed? Who hangs him in front of the mansion? What is the purpose of the murderer?"

He just wants to disgust Wei Yingran, so that he doesn't dare to say anything, and he doesn't dare to argue if he is reasonable!

Looking at Wei Yingran's increasingly ugly face, Peng Hao said in his heart: Jin Xiuchen, I breathed a sigh of relief for you, see how you thank me?

After a moment, Wei Yingran replied: "I don't know in this world. ”

"Since the prince has no clues to provide, I will take my leave first. Peng Hao got up with a smile and walked out of the pavilion with his feet raised.

Wei Yingran looked at Peng Hao's back, and his hands were squeezed tighter and tighter, as if he was about to crush the quilt in his palm.

Siyan walked out of the bushes behind the gazebo, looked at Peng Hao's stiff back from a distance, and said with a light smile: "What a third son of Peng, his wonderful eloquence is breathtaking!"

After a while, Wei Yingran regained his composure and asked lightly: "What's the matter?" The autumn hunt is approaching, and it is necessary to wait for everything." ”

Siyan pinched a bite of the crisp on the table, and said with a light smile: "The prince doesn't have to worry, the little girl will do it without revealing it!"

"Because of the Gu family's affairs, what you asked the emperor for may be postponed!"

Siyan took a sip of tea, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Shizi does this agree with this plan?"

"Conspiracy and trickery, this king has always scoffed!" Wei Yingran said lightly, stroked his clothes, and left the pavilion.

"You're not using conspiracy and trickery?" After Siyan finished speaking, she looked at Wei Yingran's back and stiffened significantly, smiled with satisfaction, and got up to leave.

After lunch, Peng Mo disguised himself and went out of the house, changed two carriages, and after detouring several streets, he came to the house under the name of Jin Xiuchen, which was uninhabited every day, and she used it to place the Wu family.

In the courtyard, Wu sat under the eaves of the porch, quietly looking at the sky in a daze.

She's been here for a few days, but she hasn't seen anyone who saved her, and I don't know why he saved her!
