Chapter 229: Thorough Investigation
"Your Highness, the leader of the soldiers and horses in the eastern suburbs who escaped has been captured." Lin Wei led a group of secret guards of the Fierce King's Mansion to run for two days in a row, and finally gained something.
At that time, Luo Mingrang, who came to deliver the news to Gu Huanli, was also in the house.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but cheer up, thinking that the one Lin Xiao was talking about was the woman in red that Lu Mingrang wanted to arrest before, and it was because of this woman that she offended Shen Xixu by mistake.
"Let's take it to the secret prison of the Criminal Department first." Gu Huanli ordered, and then cooperated with Luo Mingrang to go to the secret prison of the Criminal Department.
Originally, he was in a hurry to go out to do business, but he never thought that he would see Shen Xixu who came in a hurry as soon as he left the room.
"Uncle Huang, I heard that Ah Xuan and their family ......" Shen Xixu said his intention as soon as he saw Gu Huanli, but in the middle of his words, he was diverted by the person who slowly appeared behind him.
This person is the only one who has offended Shen Xixu for the first time, even if he turns to ashes, she can recognize it.
As soon as he saw Luo Mingrang, Shen Xixu's face instantly flashed with anger, and then he asked her angrily: "Why are you?" What are you doing here? ”
Gu Huanli heard about Luo Mingrang and Shen Xixu's legendary experience in the eastern suburbs early on.
Gu Huanli knows his niece's temperament better than anyone else, don't look at Luo Mingrang, who usually doesn't even pay attention to him, His Royal Highness the Fierce King, but this time he offended Shen Xixu, and he could only ask for more blessings.
This time, Luo Mingrang recognized Shen Xixu, and when he saw her appear, no matter what attitude she had towards herself, he only stepped forward and saluted her respectfully: "See His Royal Highness the County Lord." ”
If it were usual, Shen Xixu might not blame the person in front of him for his respectful attitude, but this person is Luo Mingrang, so there is no such thing.
"The county lord can't afford Lord Luo's gift, and I ask Lord Luo not to break the county lord." Shen Xixu responded angrily to Luo Mingrang.
Luo Mingrang got up immediately when he heard this, and said in his mouth, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the County Lord."
Shen Xixu was speechless, daring to love him, did he think he wanted him to be flat? Sure enough, the arrogant man is still so unrepentant no matter how many times he is given a chance.
"You!" Shen Xixu was about to punish Luo Mingrang for not knowing what to do, but Gu Huanli suddenly stepped forward and crossed between the two: "Ah Xu is enough, this king and Lord Luo still have important matters, so I won't accompany you to mess around." ”
Gu Huanli originally didn't want to meddle in the affairs between these two people, but at the moment, instead of laughing with Shen Xixu, it was important to find out the evidence of King Chang's crime as soon as possible and bring him down in one fell swoop.
But Gu Huanli persuaded Shen Xixu to stop in this way, so she was not convinced:
"Uncle Huang, what did you say? I'm your niece, how can you tell him that I'm messing around? Do you know how he treated me in the eastern suburbs before? ”
Gu Huanli also ignored it: "Ah Xu, as a royal child, you should be broad-minded." ”
Yes, seeing that Gu Huanli's attitude was clearly about to give way to Luo Ming, Shen Xixu was suddenly annoyed: "Uncle Huang~"
But no matter how coquettish she is, it will be useless to treat a person like Gu Huanli who is like a rock, I saw that he turned around and was about to leave without saying a word: "You have time to solve your own private affairs." ”
Gu Huanli walked away as she spoke, and Luo Mingrang followed closely behind, but Shen Xixu was indignant in her heart, and she remembered that her true purpose of coming to the palace today had not yet been achieved.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Xixu followed Gu Huanli and Luo Mingrang without saying a word.
"Uncle Huang, you wait for me." Shen Xixu caught up, and Gu Huanli couldn't help frowning when he saw her: "What are you doing here?" ”
Shen Xixu didn't care whether Gu Huanli was willing to follow him or not, so he just walked beside him and asked, "I came here today to ask Uncle Huang, what's going on in Ah Xuan's mansion?" ”
"Since you're asking about her, why don't you just ask her? Come to this king to do something. Gu Huanli responded indifferently.
Shen Xixu sighed helplessly: "It's not all you and your mother, you must keep a distance between me and Ah Xuan, otherwise I would have rushed to the Lu Mansion a long time ago." ”
In the eyes of Gu Huanli and Shen Xixu, this may be a common sentence, but when it reaches Luo Mingrang's ears, it is like a shocking gossip, which really makes people doubt the relationship between Shen Xixu and Lu Xuan.
But fortunately, Luo Mingrang is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in things, so it is just a matter of listening to this kind of talk, and he is too lazy to ask.
"So what's going on in Ah Xuan's mansion, does Uncle Huang know? I heard that his uncle and cousin both died, and the entire mansion was reduced to rubble overnight, and it seems that this matter is related to King Chang? Shen Xixu inquired at Gu Huanli.
When he mentioned King Chang, Gu Huanli hurriedly signaled her to silence her, this is not more than the palace, there are many people, and it is inevitable that saying such things will be true.
With a glance from Gu Huanli, Shen Xixu understood the mistake in her words, and quickly reined in, but she still couldn't hide her curiosity.
Seeing that Shen Xixu was always staring at him intently, Gu Huanli whispered: "This matter is indeed as you know. ”
Hearing this, Shen Xixu suddenly looked nervous: "Huh? What about Ah Xuan, is she okay? ”
Shen Xixu didn't know the relationship between the two families of the Lu family, only that it was Lu Xuan's cousin who had the accident, so when she heard Gu Huanli's answer, her first reaction was to worry about Lu Xuan.
Seeing this, Gu Huanli hurriedly reassured Shen Xixu: "This matter can't affect Lu Xuan, you don't have to worry." ”
Shen Xixu was confused at any time, but since Gu Huanli said so, she had no choice but to give up, and then muttered in a low voice:
"I don't know where Ah Xuan offended King Chang, she slandered her by raising soldiers and horses without permission, but this time she even did something to kill people and set fires, it seems that I really want to show Your Majesty and teach him a good lesson."
Shen Xixu was originally just talking and playing, Gu Huanli had always understood her temperament, so naturally she didn't object.
On the contrary, it was Luo Mingrang, who was traveling with him, and when he heard Shen Xixu's words, he instantly became anxious: "His Royal Highness the county lord must not." ”
Shen Xixu felt inexplicable, what did she do and what did she have to do with this annoying person?
Originally, he said it casually, but since it was something that Luo Ming did not allow, Shen Xixu had to fight against him to the end.
"When does the county lord need to listen to your opinion? If you say you won't let it, you won't let it, the county lord wants to go to His Majesty. Shen Xixu said and walked in the direction of the palace.
Seeing this, Luo Mingrang hurriedly pulled her back: "His Royal Highness the county lord stays, this matter is very important, the fierce king has his own decision, and please don't add to the chaos with His Royal Highness the county lord." ”
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Shen Xixu couldn't hold back Luo Ming's full stomach opinion.
"You say the county lord is causing chaos?" Shen Xixu questioned Luo Mingrang in disbelief, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw that he was even holding himself.
This feeling of being offended, Shen Xixu can be regarded as the first time to feel it on the same person several times, she couldn't bear it anymore, and shook Luo Mingrang's hand away: "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the county lord." ”
With that, Shen Xixu immediately followed behind Gu Huanli and walked away.
Luo Mingrang couldn't see her path clearly, and asked lightly: "Isn't His Royal Highness the County Lord going to enter the palace?" Entering the palace does not seem to be in this direction. ”
In fact, although Shen Xixu is a little willful, she can still distinguish between right and wrong in front of the big thing, although she doesn't want to listen to Luo Mingrang's words, but since everyone has said that this matter is very important, and Gu Huanli has her own decision, then she can't really make trouble, right?
It was precisely with this consideration that Shen Xixu let go of the idea of going to Emperor Liang Qin to complain, and changed directions instead, but she didn't think that Luo Ming would let this guy even let her get down the steps, she simply felt that she owed this person in her previous life.
Gu Huanli walked in front alone, just listening to the voice, he felt that these two people were very interesting, originally heard Lu Xuan mention Shen Xixu's attitude towards Luo Mingrang, he also thought that these two people were incompatible, but when he saw them today, it was more like a happy enemy.
Seeing that Luo Mingrang didn't save face for Shen Xixu at all, Gu Huanli had no choice but to come forward: "Okay, it's important to do business, you two don't fight anymore, it's better to be more restrained in the public." ”
Having said that, but this road is clearly so remote that not even a bird can be seen, Shen Xixu really doesn't know what kind of big thing can wronged His Royal Highness the Fierce King to walk such a rugged and desolate path.
However, there will be no danger in following Gu Huanli, and Shen Xixu didn't ask much, since he followed, he would go with him to see his so-called important things.
With such thoughts, Shen Xixu followed behind the two of them with a confused face all the way, and it was not until the door of the prison of the Criminal Department that Gu Huanli stopped.
"It's scary and it's not clean, so you can stay here and wait." Gu Huanli instructed Shen Xixu.
As the county lord of Pingchuan, Shen Xixu has been pampered since she was a child, and I am afraid that she has never been to such a dirty and messy place, and it is really inappropriate to appear here as her.
Besides, since Gu Huanli brought someone over, he would definitely be tortured when he was interrogated later.
Although he has always been a murderous and unblinking image to the outside world, in front of Shen Xixu, he still doesn't want to show his brutal and terrifying side.
But Shen Xixu is obviously not such an obedient person, he followed him, and if he didn't go in to see what was going on, wouldn't it be in vain to go this way?
Shen Xixu didn't want to think about it, so he rejected Gu Huanli: "It doesn't matter if it's weird or unclean, you can all get in, why can't I enter?" ”
After that, without waiting for Gu Huanli to leave, Shen Xixu had already gone straight inside.
Gu Huanli glanced at Luo Mingrang beside him helplessly, and had no choice but to follow in.
But the scene inside really made Shen Xixu regret his decision without thinking-
Although he knew that this was the prison of the Criminal Department, Shen Xixu had been mentally prepared early in the morning, but he was still frightened.
