Song Shifang cried for a long time, took a lot of effort, and fell asleep again after a while.

Gu Huanyi wiped away her tears, got up and went to the hospital to call Mama Miao to ask Lang Zhong to come over and see her mother.

Mama Miao was guarding outside the courtyard, and said worriedly: "Miss, these people from the capital have just searched their homes, how is this good......

Gu Huan thought of the prophecy in the letter, saying that the Gu family had been convicted of the felony of failing to resist the enemy, and these people must be searching for incriminating evidence.

"Don't worry about the outside affairs, you go and ask Lang Zhong to help me take care of my mother carefully, and I'll go to the holy envoy."

Back in his mother's room, Gu Huanyi picked up the family's industrial documents, seals and prophecy letters, avoided the crowds, and walked alone to the rockery in the backyard.

There is a loose stone cave in the rockery, which contains the "treasures" she has collected since childhood.

Now that the house is full of outsiders, she thought about it, only this place is safe, so she took out the "treasures" in the hole, packed these important documents in a box, and put them in.

After putting these away, she went back to the room to wash her face, and after cheering up, she planned to go to the front hall to find Li Congxin, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, to reason.

She didn't know what she could do, but she couldn't sit back and wait for her family to be convicted.

In the front hall of the General's Mansion, the mourning hall has been removed, and Song Ping, the housekeeper in the front yard of the Gu Mansion, Song An, the housekeeper in the backyard, and Lord Yin of Liangzhou, are all standing in the hall listening to Li Congxin's orders.

Li Congxin saw Gu Huanyi coming from outside, closed the book in his hand, and said to a few people in the hall simply: "It's getting late today, and this son is tired of hurrying, so let's order it first." From tomorrow onwards, come back and listen to the commands. ”

A few people were about to go down, but Gu Huanyi stretched out his hand to stop him.

She asked Li Congxin and said, "Since the son of the world is here to arrange the funeral of my father and brother, how do you plan to arrange it, why can't you let me listen to it too?" ”

Li Congxin waved his hand at Qi Fu Yin, and Qi Fu Yin walked straight away regardless of the obstacle.

Song Ping and Song An were servants of the Gu family after all, and they were still waiting in the hall with their heads bowed.

Li Congxin said: "Miss Gu hasn't eaten yet, right?" Why don't you dine with me, and I'll tell you what you want to know. ”

Although Gu Huanyi knew that most of the people were going to condemn the Gu family, but at the moment, she couldn't offend people to death, so she had to fight for it, so she changed her expression and said: "It's me who was negligent, Uncle An, go and prepare the meal, and take care of it along with the hundreds of strong men from the capital." ”

For the funeral in the house, the banquet was ready-made, and the kitchen quickly sent the dishes over, and Gu Huanyi personally led Li Congxin to the banquet hall for dinner.

Li Congxin said that if he wanted to eat, he really ate.

He sat down calmly, ate the meal slowly, and saw that Gu Huanyi didn't move his chopsticks, so he said: "If Miss Gu wants to take up the Gu family's business, she must learn to cherish herself, and if she doesn't have a full stomach, how can she do things?" ”

Gu Huanyi knew that what he said was reasonable, but her family had suffered such a catastrophe, and she was really hard to swallow these days.

Li Congxin tasted the food on the table, and motioned to the maid on the side to send a cup of soup in front of him to Gu Huanyi: "If you can't eat it, you can drink some soup, the bamboo chicken soup in your mansion is not bad, no worse than the cook in my Ming Palace." ”

Xu is a coincidence, Li Congxin picked Gu Huanyi's favorite dish.

She picked up a small bowl and drank a few sips, the hot soup was in her stomach, and the people were also lively.

She sighed and said: "I have been picky when I was a child, and it is the most difficult to raise, and the cook in the house was invited by my father from the capital for a lot of money. ”

Gu Huanyi thought of her father who had pampered her like a pearl since she was a child, and tears rose again.

She forcibly calmed down and said: "I grew up in Liangzhou since I was a child, and I have never traveled far from home. My father was stationed on the frontier, and except for a few times when he went to Beijing to report on his work, he rarely left Liangzhou. But our father and daughter are in Liangzhou together, and there are not many days when we meet. My father lived in the barracks all day and often did not return home for months. On weekdays, he either led the troops out of the customs to practice, or swept away bandits and cracked down on gangsters, or went to Tiantun to help the people sow spring and harvest in autumn. I sometimes lose my temper with my father, blaming him for ignoring my family, but he won't say nice things to coax me, but just tell me that the Gu family has guarded the border for generations, and he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the family and the country. He taught me to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, he told me about the righteousness of my family and country, he taught me to ride a horse and dance a sword, and said that even if there is only one daughter left in the Gu family, I must be loyal to my duty, and I must not retreat half a step......"

Gu Huanyi couldn't help it, and cried: "My father is such a loyal minister, after sacrificing his life for the country, you want to punish him...... That's why ......"

Li Congxin had already put down the dishes and chopsticks, he waved his hand to order the attendants around him to retreat, and then walked to the seat next to Gu Huanyi and sat down.

He sighed and asked, "Who said I was going to punish him?" ”

Gu Huanyi still had tears in his eyes, but he couldn't help but look at Li Congxin with wide eyes, and stammered and asked, "Then, what are you searching my house for......"

Li Congxin pursed his lips helplessly and said, "Before I left Beijing, someone impeached your father for embezzling public funds to repair the Tianhu Dam, which led to the destruction of the flash flood army, and I have to find evidence to refute these accusations." ”

"My dad won't be greedy for ink! My family is not short of money! Gu Huan said angrily.

Although the Gu family is a family of generals, and the martial artists have little money, the Song family is noble, Gu Huanyi's maternal grandmother is the daughter of the richest man in the capital, when the Song family married in Liangzhou, her mother was worried that she would suffer, and the dowry given was enough for them to eat and wear for several generations, why should General Gu be greedy for ink?

Li Congxin smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, so don't be angry, eat first, the soup is going to be cold." ”

Gu Huanyi was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably felt that Li Congxin's appearance was a bit like coaxing her.

She thoughtfully took two more sips of the soup and asked tentatively, "Why does the son believe in my father?" As far as I know, our Gu family didn't have any contact with the Ming Wangfu before......"

Li Congxin replied softly and said, "Yes, there is no contact." ”

"So why help us?" Gu Huanyi asked.

She couldn't believe Li Congxin, since she got the prophetic letter from her mother, Gu Huanyi felt that she was wrapped in a huge conspiracy.

Li Congxin has nothing to do and is diligent, either a traitor or a thief!

Li Congxin turned his head to look at Gu Huanyi, and the two looked at each other.

Gu Huanyi held his breath under his direct gaze, but stubbornly did not take his eyes away, waiting for his answer.

In the end, Li Congxin first looked away, returned to his seat, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Kuang Fu justice, what's wrong?" ”

Gu Huanyi was suddenly a little moved, whether Li Congxin was true or false, but at least at this moment, he believed that what the Gu family had done was a righteous act, and he also believed that it was a righteous act to help the Gu family.

Gu Huanyi stood up cautiously, and seriously made a formal salute to Li Congxin, and said, "The little girl thanked the son." ”
