Chapter 326: Into the Middle

Tuoba and Gu Qingcheng walked back slowly. Vertex updates are the fastest

"The county lord of Anping is so excited, do you want to hold grievances for your eldest brother?"

Tuoba's tone was cold and impersonal.

Gu Tingcheng scolded fiercely, but when he really saw the king of Gaoyang, he coaxed him again, looking like a dog.

Even spoke with a hint of flattery:

"Your Highness, don't blame Allure for his impulsiveness, the eldest brother collaborates with the enemy and treason, the evidence is ironclad, and Allure does not dare to know the law and break the law."

"That's good."

Tuoba's tone was slightly warmer.

Liu Rushuang looked at the flattering Gu Qingcheng, and vomited blood with hatred.

This slut is really pretending to be a gesture!

Even Tuoba Ling began to suspect that Allure's attitude towards her son might really be her revenge against Gu Qing.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Gu Qing, who was scarred not far away, and couldn't bear it, and said softly:

"But Your Highness, killing people is not enough. You can't torture him like that. ”

Tuoba walked leisurely with his hands in his hands, seemingly helpless:

"Allure, it's not that this king is ruthless to your eldest brother, it's really a great crime of treason with the enemy, the crime is unforgivable, no heavy punishment, Gu Qing is not honest!"

As they spoke, they walked up to Gu Zhongnian and Liu Rushuang.

"Son, how can you treat Gu Qing like this, and cut off his tongue, he is the eldest brother of Allure!"

Tuoba Ling cried as he rushed over and grabbed Tuoba's chest clothes.

Looking at Gu Qing's tragic situation, he cried softly in front of Tuoba.

Tuoba helped Aunt Jiu up, and he couldn't help him.

"Aunt Nine should know that the son has always bent the law for personal gain, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

Even if he is the eldest brother of Allure, he can't ignore the laws of Great Wei. ”

He pretended to look at Gu Qing in the prison again, and sighed, very suffocating.

This king asked many times, but he refused to think that He collaborated with the enemy and treason.

It is estimated that it was also Rouran who promised him high-ranking officials and kindness, which made him fascinated.

Since he doesn't want to recruit, then he doesn't need to keep his tongue! ”

Gu Zhongnian was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and although he was still in prison, he knelt in front of Tuoba through the fence and sobbed:

"His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, my son, you are wronged!

It is impossible for him to do such a rebellious thing as treason.

Please raise your noble hand and investigate it carefully! ”

Liu Rushuang also shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, it was Gu Qingcheng who wronged Gu Qing, don't be blinded by her hypocrisy, she is a femme fatale!" ”

“…… Treat unjustly? ”

The corners of Tuoba's mouth pulled up a mocking sneer, looking a little careless.

Immediately, he said coldly:

"Gu Qingcheng will wronged her own eldest brother, the Nine Clans will be destroyed, and she will also be destroyed?

Liu Rushuang, you have repeatedly blamed the county lord of Anping, and you are still unrepentant when you die?

Gu Qing collaborated with the enemy and treason, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, you just wait for the nine clans to be destroyed! ”

"Your Highness, this is impossible...... My son, I have always followed the rules, and it is impossible to know the law and break the law! ”

Although Gu Zhongnian was unkind, he was kind to Gu Qing, the only son.

He didn't believe that his son, who followed the rules, would commit such a heinous crime.

"Before this king, I also had a few relationships with Gu Qing, and I really didn't believe it.

But the evidence is ironclad, and this king has to handle it impartially! ”

Tuoba looked helpless.

Zhuan Yi looked at Gu Tingcheng, and said with regret:

"Lord Anping, you are kind to your ancestors, and you are very valued by Your Majesty.

Of course, the king has always favored the county lord.

This king will remind you that if you can really prove that you are not surnamed Gu as you said before.

clarified that he has no blood relationship with Gu Qing, and should be able to avoid punishment. ”

“…… His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, if we are not related to Gu Qing by blood, do we really not need to be punished? Liu Rushuang asked with surprise and joy.

There is a glimmer of hope.

Tuoba pondered for a moment, and then pondered:

"This blood relationship, for example, Gu Qingcheng is not Gu Zhongnian's biological daughter, she picked it up.

Then she and Gu Qing actually have nothing to do with each other, so she can be extrajudicial and avoid being implicated. ”

Liu Rushuang knew that she would die if she confessed her guilt, and after knowing that Gu Qing had committed this great crime of destroying the nine clans, she had already thought about it thousands of times.

If the nine clans were all implicated by Gu Qing, she had to tell Gu Qing's true identity and hoped that the nine clans would not be implicated.

In this way, Gu Qing has nothing to do with the surname Gu and the surname Liu.

Her daughter and mother will not be punished.

So far, it can only be like this, leaving aside the relationship between his family and Gu Qing.

Let's see if we can save my daughter and mother.

Liu Rushuang knelt in front of Tuoba with a snap and said mournfully:

"His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, Gu Qing is not the biological son of Gu Zhongnian and the prisoner's wife, the prisoner's wife wants to go to Your Majesty and report Gu Qing's true identity to Your Majesty."

As soon as Liu Rushuang's voice fell, before Tuoba could speak, Gu Zhongnian was already across the fence and asked Liu Rushuang in shock:

"Qing'er is not my son? What real identity, Liu Rushuang, what nonsense are you talking about?! ”

Liu Rushuang faced the stunned Gu Zhongnian, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.

His face was very embarrassed.

"Humph! Gu Qing is not your son? ”

Tuoba was condescending, looking at Liu Rushuang who was kneeling on the ground.

Sharply said:

"You cunning woman, in order to get rid of Zhu Lian, you actually came up with the bad idea that Gu Qing is not your biological son, do you think this king is so fooled?!"

"His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, the prisoner swears by the life of the nine clans, Gu Qing is really not our son, and the prisoner is willing to clarify in front of His Majesty."

Liu Rushuang kowtowed again, and raised her hand to curse.

Gu Zhongnian looked through the fence and stared at Liu Rushuang.

I hope that Liu Rushuang is just a lie made up for the sake of the Nine Clans from being punished.

can see Liu Rushuang's expression, but it doesn't seem to be fake.

Gu Zhongnian immediately felt like he was struck by lightning.

was so angry that he desperately shook the fence and questioned Liu Rushuang:

"You, you, you poisonous woman, are you hiding something from me, or are you not recognizing your son for fear of being implicated?!"

Tuoba shouted fiercely:

"Liu Rushuang, you are really a cunning and treacherous woman. For fear of revival, he didn't even recognize his own son.

Dare to ask to see Your Majesty, you are really a fool to think of this king!

It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and you want to try the various torture instruments of the prison again! ”

Liu Rushuang continued to kowtow and said:

"Your Highness, please calm the wrath of thunder, what the sinner said is the truth.

The sinner gave birth to a daughter back then, and at that time, Gu Zhongnian went to the palace to curry favor with Wang Bijun.

When a sinner gives birth, he is not around at all, and he does not know whether a sinner woman gives birth to a man or a woman.

The sinner had already given birth to a daughter back then, and if she had another daughter and entered the Gu Mansion, there would be little hope.

Therefore, he stole the dragon and turned the phoenix, and exchanged his daughter for someone else's son, and that son was Gu Qing! ”

Gu Qingcheng pursed his lips and said leisurely:

"Your Highness, don't listen to Liu Rushuang's cunning woman's nonsense.

She wanted to exonerate them and avoid reprimanding.

Gu Qing is not their son, who believes it? ”

Liu Rushuang couldn't wait to pounce and swallow Gu Qingcheng alive in one bite.

At this moment, he can't fight her.

She patted Tuoba on the chest again and said:

"Your Highness, it's true, my son, it's really a drop.

I can still name the person who dropped the bag, Gu Qing's biological parents.

It's been 20 years, and every day, they are afraid that they want to find their biological son! ”

"Do you have any credentials? If you say half a lie, the king will immediately skin you! ”

Tuoba glared at Liu Rushuang fiercely.

"His Royal Highness the King of Gaoyang, when the sinner woman sees His Majesty, the sinner will repay herself." Liu Rushuang said timidly.

Seeing that Liu Rushuang said it clearly, Gu Zhongnian couldn't help but suddenly languishe.

“…… How is it possible, my son, to be fake? ”

Gu Zhongnian was suddenly unacceptable and stunned.

"So, I, I don't even have a son?"

Tuoba groaned slightly.

"The Nine Clans have been destroyed, and there are indeed too many unjust souls. Well, for the sake of the virtue of a good life in heaven, this king will lead you to your majesty. ”

After a pause, he said awe-inspiringly:

"If you have half a false word, this king will personally skin you and behead your nine clans!"

"If a sinner has half a lie, she will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell and not die well."

Liu Rushuang and pitiful gambling curses.

"Son, no matter what, please investigate carefully and thoroughly, Aunt Nine believes that Gu Qing is really wronged, and he will never collaborate with the enemy and commit treason."

Tuoba Ling knelt weakly to Tuoba and cried and pleaded.

Tuoba Ling was originally reluctant to leave Bixia Palace for half a step in the past few days, except for training the guards.

I just felt that Gu Qing was too stumbling to commit treason with the enemy, so I had to run out of the palace to see Gu Qing.

Everyone couldn't help but be moved when they saw that Tuoba Ling was so affectionate and righteous.

Tuoba lifted Tuoba up again.

"It's rare that Aunt Nine still believes in and has such mercy on the dying person. It's really moving! ”

Tuoba said as he glanced at Gu Qing in the cell.

After a pause, he looked at Tuoba Ling helplessly:

"But Aunt Jiu, Gu Qing's collaboration with the enemy and treason has been ironclad, so you don't have to be sad for this kind of person anymore!"

Gu Qing couldn't help but be moved when he saw Tuoba Ling believing in himself so much at this moment, and he didn't hesitate to kneel down for Tuoba for himself.

Gu Zhongnian was both disheartened and angry.

I was lucky enough to think about whether Liu Rushuang made up a lie for the sake of the Nine Clans to get out.

So he followed them into the palace with mixed feelings.

The emperor received them in the imperial study, and at the same time came with the emperor, as well as Feng Zuo Zhaoyi.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi, who has been haunted by ghosts recently, has heard that Liu Rushuang was convicted of murder by blaming Gu Qingcheng for murder.

I am afraid that she will be tortured to extract a confession, and she will confess what happened many years ago.

was already nervous, and now he listened to the report of the close servant Meizi, and His Majesty personally interrogated Liu Rushuang in the imperial study.

I was even more frightened.

What is it that needs to be interrogated by His Majesty himself?

Could it be that she was going to denounce herself in front of His Majesty?

She was so scared that she couldn't sit still anymore.

Quickly asked Meizi to touch up her pale face and put a thick layer of fat powder.

I pressed back the wrinkles that I had struggled to crawl out.

With the support of the palace people, he came uninvited and rushed to the imperial study.

Tuoba Tao only thought that Lu Zuo Zhaoyi was curious for a while, and saw that since she had already come, he asked her to come in and sit down and listen together.

Tuoba Tao was furious when he saw Gu Zhongnian, and he slapped the dragon case:

"Gu Zhongnian, you are so bold that you not only conspired with that poisonous woman to kill Wang Xiaolian's family.

Now that you have instigated your son to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, are you impatient?! ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian, even if you borrow a day to be brave for the sinner, the sinner will not dare to let his son do such a rebellious thing of the Nine Clans!"

Gu Zhongnian kowtowed like pounding onions.

Tuoba Tao shouted again:

"Now the evidence is conclusive, even if you didn't instigate Gu Qing, but Gu Qing is your biological son, you can't escape the fate of being punished.

It's just a matter of waiting for the nine clans to be punished, the laws of the Great Wei are strict, do you want to have any miracles of survival when you come this time? ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know if this rebel is crazy to do such a scourge to the Nine Clans."

Gu Zhongnian cried on his knees.

Tuoba Ling also came over and knelt in front of the emperor and cried:

"Father, it is impossible for Gu Qing to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, Father must investigate thoroughly, and Gu Qing cannot be wronged!"

"Ling'er, whether Gu Qing collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, there is evidence to prove it, how do you know that he has no treason!" Tuoba Tao said unhappily.

Drink again:

"Get back to your seats, don't make trouble!"

"Father, I beg you, Ling'er guarantees with her life, Gu Qing will never collaborate with the enemy and commit treason."

"Life guarantee, is your life guaranteed for others at will?!" The emperor was even more displeased.

Tuoba Ling was in a hurry, and blurted out:

"Ling'er and Gu Qing have made a private agreement for life, if he collaborates with the enemy and treason, Ling'er is also guilty of the same crime!"

This daughter is becoming more and more disregarded for the appearance of the princess.

If she hadn't been abused before, she would have been severely punished for her nonsense this time!

"Nonsense, it's getting worse and worse! Come! Tuoba Tao shouted loudly, "Pull Princess Shanggu back and sit down, otherwise Gu Qing will be killed immediately!" ”

The Praetorian Guards immediately came over to help Tuoba Ling back to his seat.

Tuoba Ling heard his father's words and pleaded again, and immediately killed Gu Qing.

For a while, I had to purse my mouth tightly and wait to see what happened.

"Your Majesty, whether Gu Qing really committed a heinous crime, I believe that Your Majesty is wise and brave, and he will not be wronged."

Liu Rushuang kowtowed to the emperor and cried.

He glanced at Gu Qingcheng resentfully, and kowtowed to His Majesty again:

"Gu Qing is actually not our son, at best, he is just our adopted son.

But we are willing to accept punishment and be implicated in the mistakes of not raising our parents.

But Gu Qing is not our son, it was the sinner who stole the dragon and the phoenix and secretly exchanged the son of someone else's family, so that there was such a bad retribution.

Our clansmen have nothing to do with Gu Qing, they are really wronged and innocent when they are implicated. ”

"Hahaha...... Gu Qing, isn't it your son? ”

Tuoba Tao laughed angrily.

felt that Liu Rushuang had told a big joke.

It's like he's a child!

"Liu Rushuang, are you a three-year-old child? You know what you're thinking!

Think that clarifying the mother-son relationship with Gu Qing will save your family from being punished?

It's a dream! ”

"Your Majesty, the sinner really doesn't want the Nine Clans to punish her, because Gu Qing is really not the biological son of the sinner and Gu Zhongnian.

If our people are implicated, it will be really wronged. ”

Liu Rushuang kowtowed desperately.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, Lu Zuo Zhaoyi interjected, with a compassionate expression:

"As the saying goes, a man is going to die, and his words are good.

Liu Rushuang is already a capital crime, if Gu Qing is really not Liu Rushuang's biological son,

Her clansmen, who were implicated by Gu Qing, were really wronged. ”

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi doesn't know which of what Liu Rushuang said is true or false, but since she dares to speak conclusively in front of His Majesty, she can help her, and she will always think of her own good.

Liu Rushuang cast a grateful glance at Lu Zuo Zhaoyi.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi finally helped her speak at a critical time.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi just wanted her to remember her feelings.

Tuoba Tao glanced at Lu Zuo Zhaoyi dissatisfied, feeling that she shouldn't interject.

Then, he glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was sitting quietly.

After a moment's silence, he finally nodded.

"Okay, for the sake of the county lord of Anping who may also be implicated, I will let you talk about it.

If there is half a lie, don't blame me for making your life worse than death! ”

"The sinner first bows to Your Majesty for the grace of heaven." Liu Rushuang kowtowed again.

Then, 1510, she told the story of how she stole the dragon and turned the phoenix, for fear that others would not believe it......
