Chapter 200: Famine in the North
"Your husband knows your secret with Li Zhang, right?" The death of the prime minister's son-in-law is no coincidence.
"Yes, he said that he was going to divorce me that day, and I pretended to agree and poisoned him, and by the way, I also poisoned my master." Mrs. Lan's expression was already very calm at this time, and when she talked about these things again, she could already do it without changing her face and heartbeat.
"Slut, how can you kill my father and my brother together, you slut, I want you to die......"
Suddenly, a woman's voice appeared, saying that it was too late, and that this person had already come to Mrs. Lan.
Although Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian knew martial arts, they were unprepared for the appearance of this woman, so they watched the long sword enter Mrs. Lan's chest.
Poof, a mouthful of blood, stained the table red.
The woman with a hideous face in front of her and still wanting to have another sword is not someone else, but the prime minister's daughter.
Gu Chenghan pulled it away, Zhen Chutian covered Mrs. Lan's chest, and shouted loudly to the maid to find a doctor.
But it was too late.
Mrs. Lan died under the sword of the prime minister's concubine, and she was full of hatred for Gu Chenghan and the others, struggling like crazy, "I won't let you go, if it weren't for your family, it wouldn't be scattered, you say that my father is insatiable, and now that my father has passed away, how can you conclude that someone is not framing you!"
You are all the empress's people, and you know that my father doesn't want to support her, so you have murderous intentions, especially you Zhen Chutian, you are the lackey of Ji Zhuangyuan, and you are all careless of human life. The prime minister's daughter pointed at Gu Chenghan and gritted her teeth and said these baseless words.
But the rest maid in the house didn't know the truth and began to whisper, and even some people felt that what she said was right.
These people have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, and if the Prime Minister is such an insatiable person, how can they not find out.
But that's the case, if you don't say that the prime minister is a scheming person, he actually hid it from everyone.
Gu Chenghan frowned and looked at the yelling woman in front of her, and the people around her didn't dare to approach, after all, she was still holding a sword in her hand at this time, and if they got close to this posture in front of her and were injured again, it would be worth the loss.
Yu Linglong and the others also appeared when they heard the roar, and only when they saw her like this did they look at Gu Chenghan.
After seeing Gu Chenghan nodding, the white dragon envoy stepped forward without thinking about it, and in the blink of an eye, he unloaded the sword in the hand of the prime minister's daughter-in-law, and pressed it to the ground.
A woman, he didn't say that he had pity for the fragrance and cherished the jade, this action was a little too rude.
"Lord Bai, what is this doing, what did my lady do?" As soon as Fu Cheng appeared, he saw the white dragon envoy pressing his lady to the ground, and he was naturally distressed.
However, everyone in front of him was bigger than his official position, so he could only watch, but he didn't dare to touch the white dragon envoy.
You must know that although the White Dragon Envoy is good at listening, his martial arts are definitely beyond the reach of others, and he is worried about death by Fu Cheng now, for fear that he will directly cripple his own lady or something if he is not careful.
"Let go."
Seeing that Fu Cheng, a weak scholar, was about to fight with the White Dragon Envoy, he stepped forward to stop it.
Hearing Gu Chenghan's words, the White Dragon Envoy obediently let go.
After the prime minister's concubine was let go, she ran directly into the arms of the prime minister, "Husband, why are you also the mansion of the capital, even if he Gu Chenghan is a person from Tiandu Mansion, he can't be so arrogant, right?" ”
chattered for a long time, but Fu Cheng still didn't dare to squeak, just appeased his wife here.
Half a sound, and when she was almost done, Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian and motioned for her to deal with this woman.
In fact, Zhen Chutian, it's okay to fight and kill, but she is really not good at dealing with such a stinky and shameless woman, but now she is the only woman in this house, if she doesn't speak, if she changes to Yu Linglong and anyone else, it will seem a bit of a bully.
coughed and came to the woman who was crying, but Fu Cheng was also interested in seeing her coming, so he dodged away.
Seeing Zhen Chutian coming, the prime minister's daughter began to sprinkle, raising her hand to give her a slap, but she didn't want to be directly dodged by Zhen Chutian, her little arms and legs were almost like a chopstick in Zhen Chutian's hand.
"Ah, you let go of me." Zhen Chutian didn't have any strength in his hand, and this time the hand of the prime minister's daughter was about to be broken.
Seeing his own lady shouting heartbreakingly, Fu Cheng was distressed, and quickly stepped forward and bowed down to look at Gu Chenghan anxiously, "Lord Gu, my lady first lost her father and brother, and now the whole family is about to disperse, she is a little arrogant, but she is not guilty to death, right?" ”
When Fu Cheng said this, although he was begging for mercy, his eyes were full of hatred.
Gu Chenghan was a little impressed by Fu Cheng, but he didn't expect that he, a soft persimmon, would also have a day of resistance.
"Zhen is lighter, after all, she is a woman." Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian playfully.
Hearing this, Zhen Chutian looked over with a smile in his eyes, "Yes, my lord." ”
After that, the prime minister's daughter was released.
This time, she was wise and wise, holding her wrist, and then when she came to Fu Cheng, although she was full of resentment, she didn't dare to say a word at this time.
Three days later, the Prime Minister's Mansion should investigate and deal with it, and the people who should leave will leave, especially when the Prime Minister's daughter and daughter left, she didn't forget to look at Zhen Chutian viciously, "You wait for me, don't leave a handle when you return to the capital, otherwise my wife and I will definitely take your life." ”
After that, the prime minister's concubine threw up her sleeves and left the prime minister's mansion with an angry face.
Fu Cheng said to Gu Chenghan Fu Fufu, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Lord Gu, you don't support Ji Zhuangyuan, why do you have to participate?" ”
"Fu Cheng, you have too much to say." Gu Chenghan's originally smiling face became eerie because of Fu Cheng's words.
At this time, Fu Cheng didn't dare to say much, bowed his head and left directly.
After the group left, Zhen Chutian breathed a sigh of relief, whether this was also the end.
Zhen Chutian couldn't wait to leave, she didn't want to stay in Lizhou anymore, this place made her feel breathless.
At this time, a group of people appeared at the gate of the house, and the clothes should be from Dali Temple in the capital, but Gu Chenghan didn't understand why someone from Dali Temple would take over.
The real culprit of the Prime Minister's Mansion was caught, and now there are only those gold, silver and jewels left, and it is understandable to be pulled back to the capital, but it stands to reason that it shouldn't be the household department to do this?
Without thinking about it, the people of Dali Temple had already gathered at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone was scattered in two columns, and one person came out at the end, not someone else or Li Qing.
The happiest person to see Li Qing was naturally Zhen Chutian, thinking of the days when they were together in Fulai County, she was quite nostalgic.
"Li Qing?" Zhen Chutian shouted his name and stepped forward, and he looked very good when he smiled.
Li Qing nodded to her, but she was not as close as before, but saluted Gu Chenghan respectfully, "Weichen has seen Master Gu." ”
"Li Qing, when did you become so polite to me?" Gu Chenghan had already discovered that Li Qing was different from before, and at this time he was just more sure.
Seeing that Li Qing was so indifferent, Zhen Chutian didn't know what to say, so he could only stand there dumbly, but Gu Chenghan seemed to be unable to stand her being snubbed, and didn't pay attention to Li Qing and directly bypassed her and came to Zhen Chutian, looking at her gently, "Are you okay?" ”
"No, it's fine." Zhen Chutian smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Li Qing.
At this time, Li Qing still had that cold face, compared to him in Fulai County who always helped Zhen Chutian, they were simply two people.
Zhen Chutian was a little flustered, but he recovered quickly and stayed in front of Gu Chenghan obediently.
Li Qing saw that Gu Chenghan didn't speak, nor did he say anything about gold, silver and jewelry, so he beckoned, and the guards of Dali Temple behind him stepped forward directly and handed the letter to him.
"My lord, this is a letter from the capital, and we will bring back all the items from the Prime Minister's Mansion." Li Qing's glance fell in Zhen Chutian's eyes, but it was very ironic.
It's just been a few days since I saw him, so why did he become so rusty?
Although Zhen Chutian is a smart person, but the person opposite suddenly says that she will change, she doesn't dare to make up her mind, after all, she was a very familiar person at the beginning, and now she doesn't want to speculate many times, because she knows that trust cannot be doubted.
"Really? The empress didn't write to me, what should I do? Gu Chenghan looked at Li Qing helplessly.
Knowing that Gu Chenghan was deliberately making things difficult, Li Qing was not in a hurry, and directly opened the letter, "Here." ”
Gu Chenghan knew that Li Qing had come prepared, but he was deliberately trying to test one or two.
Seeing that he was so anxious and unsympathetic, Gu Chenghan seemed to understand something, and Zhen Chutian, who was pretending to be stupid, was even more clear at this time.
Gu Chenghan looked at the letter unhurriedly, as if he was not in a hurry at all, he looked at it word by word, but it was just a few lines, but he read it for a quarter of an hour.
Li Qing was a little anxious, "My lord." ”
"What's the hurry? Are you in a hurry to go back and receive credit? What benefits did those pedantic dead old men give you, let you stand on their side, didn't you support Zhen Chutian at the beginning? She was recommended to me by you. ”
Although Gu Chenghan was not on the empress's side at this time, he didn't want Li Qing's team, because he knew that sooner or later the empress would eliminate those who were always making trouble behind her back, and those old pedantry would go to the end.
In fact, whether it was in contact with the empress or Ji Zhuangyuan and others, Gu Chenghan had already deeply sensed this, he just didn't want to get involved, he didn't want to be anyone's pawn, just like Zhen Chutian.
Although everyone knows that Zhen Chutian is stained with the empress's light, and even everyone says that she is the empress's person, she knows very well that she is not the empress's person, she just got the empress's new policy.
Li Qing's face was a little unbearable when Gu Chenghan said this, his handsome face was red and white for a while, but years of experience had made him grow a lot, and this micro-expression was fleeting, and he quickly recovered like this.
Respectfully bowed to Gu Chenghan, "Lord Gu is too worried, as a person from Dali Temple, he naturally obeys the instructions from above, and I have to do whatever Dali Temple asks me to do." ”
