Chapter 96: Nobles Help Each Other
Watching Huachun fall in front of him, the memories of his past life flooded in. Gu Jiuge seemed to think of the scene where Huachun and the two were tortured to death, they also fell softly in front of him like this at the beginning, but Gu Jiuge at that time didn't even take a second look.
"Don't say that I didn't warn you, if something happens to the painting spring, all the people who do it today will be buried together." Gu Jiuge stood up, looked at everyone and said in a cool voice.
Although the woman knelt on the ground, her eyes were cold, exuding a fierce momentum that was difficult to approach.
Chen Shi saw the movement in his hand, and Fang Cai was really scared for a moment.
After relieving himself, Chen raised his hand and fell again, and said fiercely: "You are so capable, today I will take the lives of the two of them, what can you do?" ”
Gu Jiuge took a deep breath when he heard this, and was about to start a counterattack, but he heard a commotion at the door. This inexplicable movement attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and Chen also stopped his movements and looked out.
Just when everyone was curious, I saw a woman dressed in a generous and simple dress walking in slowly, her age looked similar to Chen's, but she was well maintained, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a Buddha fragrance Zen around her body.
Chen couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that people were coming, just thinking that she was the mother-in-law of an ordinary family.
"Who are you?" Chen asked coldly, his tone vicious and unkind.
The old woman stood still in front of Chen, Gu Jiuge slowly raised his head, and when he looked at it, he was completely stunned.
Was...... It turned out to be the flower mother who served the Queen Mother closely!
Mama Hua has served the Queen Mother for more than 50 years, and she can be said to be the closest person to the Queen Mother. Since the death of the Queen Mother three years ago, she invited herself to Huguo Temple to accompany the Queen Mother's tablet chanting, and she has not been out for three years, how can she come here today!
Gu Jiuge was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it.
Mama Hua suddenly lowered her head and crashed into Gu Jiuge's bright eyes like spring breeze. The woman's appearance is stunning, so beautiful that it is not as beautiful as it should be, even if she is insulted like this, her little face is still calm like a pool of lake water.
Seeing that Mama Hua didn't say anything, Chen became more and more impatient, pushed her hard, and asked, "Who are you!" ”
"Old Madam Gu, you are so bold, don't you want to live?" As soon as Mama Hua opened her mouth, she blamed and asked, Chen was stunned, and when she reacted, she was already angry.
"What a crazy woman, dare to run to the Prime Minister's Mansion to spread wild! I don't think it's you who doesn't want to live! Chen roared angrily, but before she could finish speaking, the whole person froze in place.
Because she saw eight guards in the armor of the Royal Forest walk in, each of them with a sword at their waist, a serious and gloomy expression on their faces, and an indispensable murderous and cold aura around them.
Seeing this, Chen finally realized that the old woman in front of him was not an ordinary person.
"The old slave has seen the county lord of Qinghe." In Chen's shocked gaze, Mama Hua slowly lowered her body, looked at Gu Jiuge and said respectfully.
She did standard court etiquette.
Seeing this, Fang Gu was frightened, and with a shake of her hands, she hurriedly let go of Gu Jiuge and hid behind Chen.
Gu Jiuge was free, but at the same time, he lost his support and fell to the ground. Eqiu hurriedly rushed forward, helped her to sit down on the chair beside her, and looked down, only to find that her dress was soaked in blood, and you can imagine how miserable the knee under her dress is now.
At that time, Gu Shuyuan also hurried over when he got the news, and he was also stunned when he saw Mama Hua, who had not been out for a long time.
"Mama Hua, why did you come to the house today?" Gu Shuyuan asked, and Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Jiuge sitting on a chair leaning on Huiqiu's arms, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked over.
"Ge'er, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Shuyuan's face was anxious, but Huiqiu was distressed and annoyed, hugging Gu Jiuge and crying, his throat was sour, and he couldn't say a word.
"It's good that Prime Minister Gu Cheng is here, just to be a witness." Mama Hua glanced at him, said lightly, and then turned her eyes to the Chen family and the others who were already stunned, and said coldly: "I didn't know that the people in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion were so bold, and the Qinghe County Lord who was personally appointed by the emperor was also insulted and beaten by you at will?" ”
In the end, it is an old lady who has been in the palace all her life, and her aura is so strong that people dare not ignore it.
Hearing Mama Hua's words, Gu Shuyuan was shocked and distressed, but he also knew that the Chen family and the others had made a big mistake today, and Mama Hua was here, so they must have been unable to escape.
Gu Shuyuan wanted to intercede for the Chen family, but suddenly heard Gu Jiuge snort, looking at her miserable little face, Gu Shuyuan was irrepressibly distressed, and swallowed all the words of intercession back and waited for the development of the situation without saying a word.
"The people in the house, those who did not do it, none of them could escape today. Those who didn't do it sat idly by, hateful and annoying, and those who did did it were even more guilty. Mama Hua said lightly: "Escort all these people to the courtyard, I will teach them what is respectful and humble, and teach them how to treat the county lord." ”
After Mama Hua finished speaking, she took the lead in walking to the door, and the eight guards stepped forward, the iron wall was hard, and they picked up a few people and pulled them into the courtyard.
Raising her sleeves and sitting down, Mama Hua looked at the people who were sitting in a group with cold eyes.
The Chen family, the Jiang mother and daughter who fanned the flames, and the Li mother and daughter who watched the excitement, none of them escaped.
"I am the mother of the prime minister, how dare you do this to me?" Although Chen was already scared in his heart, he still stiffened his neck and said stiffly.
Hearing this, Mama Hua suddenly laughed: "It's good that you are a good father-in-law, but do you have a grade?" Has she been named a lady by the emperor? ”
Chen's face turned pale when he heard this, he twisted his body, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Even if I don't have a decree to give the seal!" I am the grandmother of this girl, today is just a lesson for the disobedient granddaughter, where did I do wrong! ”
Anyway, Chen insisted that he was an elder, and it was natural to teach his granddaughter a lesson.
"That's right!" Unexpectedly, Mama Hua actually stroked her palms and agreed.
But before Chen and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, Mama Hua opened her mouth again: "It's naturally okay for you to teach your granddaughter a lesson, but the county lord of Qinghe now has a title, she is the county lord first, and then your granddaughter, you are a tasteless and classless woman who dares to beat the county lord, if you say it is bigger, this is a capital crime!" ”
As soon as Mama Hua's voice fell, Chen fell straight to the ground, speechless.
"Who the hell are you? If you come to our prime minister's house in such a hurry and say that you want to punish our sins, your tone will be too big! Gu Qinglai was a non-believer, so he stood up and pointed at Mama Hua and asked angrily.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her knee socket and fell to her knees. She looked back angrily, but it was the guards with knives.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but you just need to know that if I inform Your Majesty about this, then you will really be doomed." Hua Mama sneered and said: "It was you who hurt the county lord first, I just acted according to the rules, if you have a complaint, don't shout in front of me, people are old, and they can't hear the ghost crying wolf." ”
"Since you are the county lord of Qinghe who is punished by family law, then I also invite you to taste the taste of family law." Mama Hua chuckled, and then gave the guards a look.
Seeing this, those guards immediately understood, escorted a few people to their knees, and picked up the rattan that Fang Cai Chen used to beat and scold Gu Jiuge, and greeted them at once. One after another, as Mama Hua said, no one can run.
Seeing such a battle, Chen was already trembling with fright, and retreated again and again. She is just a prestige in the Prime Minister's Mansion on weekdays, and she doesn't dare to leave this mansion. Seeing Mama Hua like this at this time, her mind was already blank with fright.
"Old Madam Gu, please rest assured, you are Xiangye's mother-in-law, and you are old, so it is naturally impossible to punish you in public like this. But you did something wrong today, so you can honestly kneel here. ”
Mama Hua's voice sounded in her ears, and Chen screamed in fright and almost passed out.
"But you have to be clear that you are not kneeling down to the county lord of Qinghe, and you don't have to talk nonsense in the future, so as not to ruin the reputation of the county lord." Mama Hua suddenly approached her and whispered in her ear.
Chen forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, his eyes widened angrily, but he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
The courtyard was already full of screams, Li and Gu Qingxue were fine, each of them only took ten beats and then escaped. But Jiang's mother and daughter, Fang Gu and others suffered hardship, they were beaten and bruised all over their bodies, but they were still pressed by two guards, and they couldn't break free.
These are all people who go to the battlefield with swords, and their arms are like iron arms, and they hurt when they grasp them with both hands.
After a while, seeing that several people were a little unable to hold on, Mama Hua waved her hand and motioned for them to stop.
"If you don't die after the fight, continue to kneel here, and you will watch here."
After explaining, Mama Hua asked Gu Shuyuan to send Gu Jiuge and the others back to Yingge Xiaoyuan.
Gu Jiuge is now injured and injured, if he is not properly diagnosed and treated, it will be troublesome if he leaves the root of the disease in the future.
"Mama Hua, although my mother is at fault for today's incident, she is old after all, and now she is only afraid that it will be inappropriate to be punished like this." After settling Gu Jiuge, Gu Shuyuan found Mama Hua and said in a deep voice.
On one side is his most beloved daughter, and on the other side is his own mother, and he is now in a dilemma. Just now, he didn't stop Mama Hua because he also wanted to take this opportunity to let a few people learn a lesson and seek justice for Gu Jiuge. But now that I think about it, the Chen family is so old, and today he is punished like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to settle the old suspicions with Gu Jiuge in the future.
If that were the case, wouldn't he be even more embarrassed?
"What Xiangye said is that I am just entrusted by others to be loyal to people, and now that the county lord of Qinghe is no longer in the way, it is naturally up to Xiangye to deal with those people." Hearing this, Mama Hua bowed slightly and said with a smile.
"Entrusted?" Gu Shuyuan was puzzled and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Mama Hua shook her head and said, "This is not easy to reveal, Xiangye should go and see the old lady, I still have something to say to the county lord of Qinghe." ”
Gu Shuyuan didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, nodded and left.
