Chapter 179: Death by Order
When Zhao Hu said this, he wanted to make the decision for Zhao Bingye and drive her away. Lin Luoshi looked at the room full of people who were glaring at her, rolled her eyes, and said angrily: "Let's go, the General's Mansion has such a bad reputation now, I won't want to beg me to stay!" I wish I had anything to do with the General's Mansion. ”
Gu Jiuge was even more shocked when she heard this, she dared to guarantee that this was definitely not what Lin Luoshi would say. But the person in front of him is clearly Lin Luoshi.
"Get out!" Old Madam Zhao slapped the table fiercely and yelled at her.
Gu Jiuge's brain was like a mess now, and he had no ability to think at all, seeing that Lin Luoshi was about to leave, Mu Liang still stretched out his hand to stop him.
Lin Luoshi was blocked and was about to spill, but a pair of Shang Muliang's cold eyes were forced back as soon as the words came to his mouth. She saw that Mu Liang was born like a heavenly person, her heart moved, and she moved a little closer to Mu Liang.
She stared at the face full of sneers, looked at Mu Liang and said, "What did the prince stop me for?" I want to ......" The words stop here, and the tone is unclear and disgusting.
Mu Liang didn't even look at her, and gently helped Gu Jiuge to sit down.
Zhao Gao and others didn't understand what Mu Liang's move meant, and asked, "Lord Wang, why are you blocking it?" ”
Mu Liang said in a deep voice: "There are many strange things about this matter, she is a key person, and she must not leave." What's more, as soon as this incident happened, she was kicked out of the General's Mansion, which will only make the people guess more and more, which is not a good thing for the General's Mansion. ”
He was right, Zhao Gao and others were all stunned by Lin Luoshi's anger, but they didn't take this into account, but fortunately Mu Liang stopped him, otherwise it would be difficult to return Zhao Bingye's innocence.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao exhaled a sigh of fear with some fear, looked at the housekeeper and said: "Put the young lady under house arrest in Qingde Courtyard, and watch a few people, no one is allowed to approach, and she is not allowed to come out for half a step!" ”
When the housekeeper heard this, Lin Luoshi was a little panicked, struggling vigorously, and shouted: "Why do you detain me!" It was Zhao Bingye who killed someone himself, what's the use of you locking me up! ”
"Gagged, drag it out!" Zhao Gao was too lazy to listen to so much nonsense from her, and said impatiently. After struggling and tossing for a while, Lin Luoshi was dragged down.
Calm returned to the main hall, Gu Jiuge gradually eased up, she took a deep breath and asked, "Grandfather, when did sister-in-law start to become like this?" ”
Zhao Gao's heart ached when he heard this, he sighed heavily, and shook his head not to answer.
Or Zhao Qianqian said: "Her nature is like this, her humble and obedient appearance at the beginning was just pretending!" coaxed her brother to have a deep love for her, but now she is in prison for nothing! She almost gritted her teeth and finished speaking, which shows how much she hates Lin Luoshi.
Gu Jiuge frowned when he heard this, how could a person who could put life and death aside from the realm of such a thing do such a thing?
"Qian'er, then you say, when did she start showing her true colors?" Zhao Qianqian's anger was hard to dissipate, and Gu Jiuge had to follow her words and ask.
Zhao Qianqian also calmed down a little, thought for a moment, and then said: "Probably since the last accident and disappearance, after she woke up, she seemed to be a different person, not only beating and scolding her subordinates, being arrogant and mean, but also hinting many times that she wanted to take over the power of the family from my mother." But at that time, we all thought that she was frightened and didn't recover, who knew that something had happened. ”
After hearing this, Gu Jiuge had a plan in his heart, and he didn't ask anything more, got up and walked in front of Zhao Gao to stand still, and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, my cousin is frank and innocent, and the truth will definitely be revealed one day." ”
Zhao Gao sighed when he heard this, and said weakly: "But now that your cousin has been placed on death row, Your Majesty has made up his mind, how can the case be overturned?" ”
He has lived most of his life, and what kind of thing has never been encountered, who knows that he will end up here.
"I'll look it up." Gu Jiu Ge said in a low voice, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes. This time, it was obvious that someone came to the General's Mansion, no matter who it was, as long as Gu Jiuge found out, she would definitely not let go of the people who were plotting behind her.
Old Madam Zhao took Gu Jiuge's hand when she heard this, and said sadly: "There is nothing I and your grandfather can do about this matter, what can you do as a girl." Now that our general's mansion is in ruin, you don't want to get involved, lest you get involved in it. She burst into tears before she could finish her sentence, and after this incident, she also aged a lot, as if she had been sucked away from her anger at once.
Gu Jiuge shook his head and said, "I will definitely not let my cousin have an accident!" ”
This time, it is to bet everything, and she will also return Zhao Bingye's innocence.
But Gu Jiuge underestimated the power of the person behind him, and on the second day, a holy decree came from the palace. Mu Yao took care of the thoughts of everyone in the General's Mansion, and specially ordered Gu Shuyuan to come and read out the will.
"How so? How could it be so fast! Old Madam Zhao sat down on the chair and muttered, "No, it hasn't been found out yet, how could Your Majesty order Ye'er to be executed!" ”
The rest of the people were also like being struck by lightning, Zhao Gao and Zhao Hu staggered a few steps and almost fell, these two men who stood up to the sky and the earth, withstood many enemy surprise attacks, but at this moment they were so vulnerable that they were vulnerable.
Gu Jiuge took a step forward, grabbed Gu Shuyuan's sleeve, and said, "Daddy, how can this be?" It's too fast! ”
Gu Shuyuan said sadly: "This morning, a number of officials jointly played, begging Your Majesty to execute Ye'er as soon as possible and give Hongying justice. The people also complained, and the trouble became bigger and bigger. There were even people gathered at the gate of the palace, begging His Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
When Gu Jiuge heard this, his hands were out of strength, and his head was terrible.
"How so?" She said to herself, it stands to reason that Hongying's death is just a trivial matter, but why did it cause such a big sensation?
"The death of the red tassel is not a pity, but the bad thing is that someone is behind it. This is no longer just a simple murder to pay for one's life, the one who committed the crime was Zhao Bingye, the little son of the General's Mansion, with a noble status, but the one who died was a nobody. The people were afraid that such a thing would happen to them, and finally had a chance to confront the powerful, plus someone was fanning the flames behind their backs and adding fuel to the fire, so they naturally would not let go of this opportunity. ”
Mu Liang helped Gu Jiuge, looked at her and whispered.
Gu Jiuge frowned, looked up at Mu Liang, and tears overflowed in his eyes.
Mu Liang was distressed, wiped away her tears, and continued to analyze: "If the imperial brother executes Zhao Bingye in accordance with the will of the people, the people will feel that they have also come back with justice. That's why they went to such great lengths to appeal the riots. ”
Gu Jiuge gritted his teeth when he heard this, "Why! Why do you want my cousin to bear this sin! ”
She clenched her hands into fists, and the feeling of powerlessness almost drove her to death. She thought that rebirth could protect everyone, but who knew that it was destiny that would be difficult to change?
"I'll go into the palace and ask Your Majesty."
Zhao Gao slowly stood up on the table and said calmly with his eyes. He has been fighting horses for half his life, full of meritorious deeds, even in the face of Mu Yao, he has never asked for anything. But now, for the sake of Zhao Bingye, he can give up anything.
"Dad, I'm with you!" Zhao Hu also stood up, the father and son glanced at each other, and then walked out without looking back.
The sun is warm outside, but this person's heart, why is it so cold.
Gu Jiuge also wanted to follow up with the palace, but was stopped by Mu Liang and said softly: "You can't be involved anymore." ”
"I can't sit idly by." Gu Jiuge shook his head and said, "My cousin is innocent, he shouldn't end his life like this." ”
"I know." Mu Liang replied softly, and then gently broke her clenched hands, and the skin on the palms of her hands was broken, as if she didn't feel it. Mu Liang lowered his head and held her hand and blew lightly.
"It's useless to beg. What we have to do is a secret investigation, and if you enter the palace like this, you will only startle the snake. ”
After listening to Mu Liang's words, Gu Jiuge also calmed down a little and began to think about the ins and outs. Now the main problem is still on Lin Luoshi, as long as she finds out why she framed Zhao Bingye like this, all the problems will be solved.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiuge turned his head and went to Lin Luoshi's Qingde Courtyard.
Let's say that when Zhao Gao and Zhao Hu entered the palace, the queen was accompanying Mu Yao in the imperial study. Today, Mu Yao ordered Zhao Bingye to be executed two days later, which was also an extremely difficult thing for him. But as Mu Liang analyzed, the people's grievances are great now, and if Zhao Bingye is not dealt with, it is inevitable that something will happen.
Thinking of this, Mu Yao became more and more upset, and swept all the twists and turns on the case to the ground.
"Your Majesty, General Zhao and General Zhao ask to see you." Wang Cheng came in to report, but before Mu Yao refused, Zhao Gao actually pushed the door directly and entered. The people at the door couldn't stop it, so Mu Yao raised his hand lightly and motioned for them to retreat.
Zhao Gao usually wore Mu Yao, he wore a tasseled hat, armor, and a sharp sword hanging from his waist. After the Da Yue Dynasty was stable, he hadn't dressed like this for many years.
Seeing him like this, Mu Yao could more or less guess his intention, and his brows furrowed more and more.
The queen is happy to see this result, if Zhao Qianqian was willing to comply with her marriage, she would not be like this now. If she can't get it, how can she let others get it!
"The old general entered the palace today, what happened?" With a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, the queen looked at Zhao Gao and asked.
When Zhao Gao heard this, he ignored him, but took Zhao Hu to kneel down, looked at Mu Yao and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to exchange the general's mansion for the life of his unfilial grandson Zhao Bingye!" ”
He bowed his head and placed the handsome seal firmly in front of him.
This move shows that he doesn't want anything.
Mu Yao was shocked, and looked at Zhao Gao's father and son in a daze, this was definitely not the result he wanted! The Zhao family has been defending the Great Yue Dynasty for generations, and apart from the two of them, Mu Yao couldn't think of anyone else who could take on this heavy responsibility.
"Old General Zhao, are you forcing me?" Mu Yao gritted his teeth and asked bitterly, his forehead was bruised, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
