Chapter 12: The Greater Good

What secrets is the Liu family hiding, and it needs to be so active to guard a useless Liu Zhuxuan. Gu Changming was thinking, did Liu Zhuxue know this secret?

Tao Xin thought about saying two cruel words, and spurted blood arrows from his mouth, and there was no pain in his whole body: "Gu Gongzi is really not a person who pities fragrant and cherishes jade, I heard people say that you are a frosty and ruthless person in the past, and today it seems that it is really not bad." ”

"Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, you also depend on the object, you are an opponent, you want to put me to death, if I show mercy to your subordinates, I will let myself be sent to death." Gu Changming was unmoved, and looked at Taoxin calmly, "Every word of truth that the button says, I don't think you look like a person who can tell the truth." ”

"What if I'm willing to have a long talk with Gu Gongzi in private?" Taoxin endured the sharp pain in her chest and reluctantly squeezed out a smile.

"I think there are a lot of you, I'm afraid that my side has more than enough heart and strength, and I will hand it over to other people who are more willing to receive this credit, I don't know what you think?" Gu Changming knew very well that it was impossible for him to bring so many people to the mansion of Old Imperial Physician Wen, that place was currently quiet and peaceful, and no one wanted to destroy it.

Among so many people, sooner or later one is willing to confess, so it is better to push the boat down the river and send the favor out.

"You can ignore the other crimes, whether Liu Zhiyuan was killed by you or not, you can not say, whether Fang Yuan was killed by you or not, you can also keep your mouth shut. Just pretending to be an official position given by the emperor himself, your impersonation is already a capital crime. Gu Changming took a big step back, looking at Taoxin's eyes was equivalent to looking at a dead man, "I believe that this person will interrogate you well and tell me what I want to know." ”

Taoxin's eyes widened in disbelief, Gu Changming had no intention of staying, and turned around and left with the little phoenix. In the backyard of Liufu, the fire has not yet been extinguished, and no one in the place can move, if it is burned out, will they all be burned to death in the sea of fire.

"Gu Gongzi, have you given up seeking answers! Isn't everyone saying that if you study this way, you will never stop if you don't find your purpose! The more Taoxin thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she roared out with the last bit of strength she had accumulated in her body.

"Of course I have a way of knowing." Gu Changming also hesitated when he saw the little phoenix, "Phoenix, she just wants to delay time." ”

"Brother Gu, could they be sent by Qu Jingshan?" The little phoenix asked thoughtlessly.

"When you were in Qikun Gate, did you hear of these people? Buttons, hearts. Gu Changming actually had similar doubts, "It's not like an unknown person, think about it carefully." ”

"I haven't heard of it at all, I haven't been away from Qi Kun Sect for a long time, and if I have a plan here, I can't be completely unaware. But their appearance was too weird, if it wasn't for Qi Kunmen, I really couldn't think of anyone else who would use such a method. ”

Little Phoenix pondered for a moment and replied, "Qu Jingshan doesn't tell me everything, maybe it's his secret." ”

"The technique is somewhat similar, but I have seen the arrangement of Qi Kunmen, and it will not be like the restraint of directly placing ten people in one place. Even the people who came to arrest you back in the first place only sent a total of three people. I don't feel like Liu Zhuxuan will be more difficult to control than you. Gu Changming stood in front of the Liufu and didn't go out.

"Who does Big Brother Gu want to take over?" The little phoenix suddenly understood, "Situ An? ”

"At the moment, he really looks like the best person to take over. Although something like that happened in the family and my father was sent to prison again, he accepted my love last time, if he can keep it a secret for me and make meritorious contributions, why not. Gu Changming saw that Situ An had a sense of crisis around the Queen Mother early in the morning, since the incident of the Nine Emperor Princes, Situ An has always been looking for the best way out for himself, and retreating to the emperor's side is probably a shortcut in his eyes.

Little Phoenix wanted to ask how to contact Situ An, but saw Gu Changming walking straight towards the opposite street. Before he could walk in front of him, the little old man who seemed to have been setting up a stall there for a long time put down his work and came over, listening respectfully to him with his hands down. She had just stepped out of one foot, and it was quickly retracted.

Even she didn't know how much Gu Changming could do in Kaifeng Mansion, she only knew that she could completely trust this person, even in the days when she was hunted down.

The little old man should have listened to Gu Changming's advice, and he didn't even want his own stall, so he left with a jump. Gu Changming carried one hand behind his back and slowly walked back.

Little Phoenix didn't ask a word, just smiled at him.

"We followed Mr. Dai's advice and continued to stay at Liu's house. I feel that Mr. Dai's intuition is good, and the Liu family is indeed a safe place. Gu Changming strode into the threshold, the people who were imprisoned inside ran away, and the guards were all beaten to the ground, what else was unsafe, "Situ An should come quickly, I'm a little hungry, it's better to find something to eat to pad your hunger." ”

Little Phoenix found a ready-made meal in the stove room and brought it out as soon as it was hot: "They have good food, there are fish and meat, and I have just tasted the craftsmanship and can get by." ”

Gu Changming took it and looked down: "You ate it like this, aren't you afraid that someone will poison you?" ”

"Didn't I say it last time, our current physique has been adjusted by the Gu Mother, even if it is poisoned, most of it can withstand it." Little Phoenix said it easily, but in fact she was very careful, every dish had been tested with her own method, and it was absolutely safe before she dared to bring it out to Gu Changming to eat. ”

"It seems that I have to go back to southern Xinjiang once when I have time, thank you Gu Mu for leaving us these, I have benefited a lot." Gu Changming picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it in his mouth, and soon ate the second and third bites.

The little phoenix knew that he ate Xiang Siwen on weekdays, but he had never seen chopsticks fall so quickly, so he just thought that he was hungry: "Brother Gu, there are two vegetarian dishes in it, I will also take them out together, you eat slowly." ”

Gu Changming slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said with a loud smile: "These dishes are very good, very good." ”

The little phoenix hesitated, and hurriedly lowered his head and ate a few bites, these dishes are home-cooked dishes, and the taste is at most able to eat, but it really can't reach what he said very well.

Gu Changming saw her doubts, and reminded her without hiding them: "These dishes are definitely not the taste of Kaifeng dishes. ”

The little phoenix really got through at one point, and took a few more bites into his mouth: "It's not the taste of Central Plains cuisine, there should be spices added to it, I feel very fragrant when I first eat two bites, and I feel a little greasy after eating too much." ”

"That person pretended to be Liu Zhuxuan so similar, I thought it was a person with similar craftsmanship at first. In fact, we just happened to meet such a ingenious technique, and there could be a few people in the world. Gu Changming prompted again, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"The man's disguise is made of inches." Little Phoenix almost said that the impostor was Cun Xi, but after thinking about it, Cun Xiao was someone they knew, so face-to-face, no matter how good the craftsmanship was and how similar the learning was, it was easier to expose flaws.

You want a complete stranger so that you don't get suspicious.

"Even the accent is so similar, I should ask Guozi where he got his ability to learn to speak, maybe it's also a clue." After Gu Changming finished analyzing, he ate all the food in the bowl, and the little phoenix took the initiative to stand up and wash the bowl.

When Situ An arrived, he came alone with great interest, and saw that one of the two was sitting leisurely drinking tea, and the other was washing the dishes and chopsticks and wiping his hands. Gu Wuduo had a big incident, and he naturally got the news early. Gu Changming sent a message, he thought that what he would see was an embarrassment like a lost dog, and the favor he owed last time was almost the same if he repaid it.

I never thought that these two people not only did not look like they were chased by the Criminal Division to flee for their lives, but they were more like the little couple in their own house, making a few delicious side dishes and drinking two glasses of wine. For Gu Changming, he is convinced, even if the Gu family is in the middle of the road, he will never dare to abandon it, but will step up the contact.

Once the Gu family turns over, he will be able to obtain greater benefits.

As for Gu Wuduo, who was put in prison by the emperor, Situ An was even less worried. If Gu Wuduo would die in the prison, the entire court would become a joke. For Gu Wuduo, it's just a difference between a few more days and a few days less.

"Changming Gongzi." Once Situ An thought clearly, the smile on his face piled up even more, and he beckoned in, "Don't worry, I'm here alone, if you need reinforcements, you can be on call." ”

"There are eight people lying in the backyard, and there is still a fire in the firewood room in the backyard that has not been extinguished, if the wind turns and burns outward, Liufu will soon be able to burn most of it, and there is no way to save it." Gu Changming put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a slight smile.

I saw that Situ An's chair was not hot, and he rushed out with a snort.

Seeing the embarrassed back, the little phoenix almost couldn't straighten up with a smile: "Why does he trust you so much now, he doesn't doubt anything you say, what if it was a lie to him?" ”

"If it was a lie to him, he had nothing to lose." Gu Changming told the little phoenix to close the door of the stove room, "It's safe here for the time being, it's cleaned up, there is no smell, you can also sit down and rest for a while." ”

The little phoenix sat directly opposite him, made himself a cup of tea, and just drank half a cup, there seemed to be a lot of people outside, noisily rushing straight to the backyard. Then the movement was even louder, some people were fighting fires, some people were moving heavy objects, and all kinds of sounds were intertwined, but Gu Changming listened and half-closed his eyes.

Little Phoenix doesn't have an absolute sense of trust in Situ An, this person has always been two-faced, and if he betrays them in exchange for credit, it's impossible to say. So one of her tendons tensed until someone knocked politely on the door.

"Changming Gongzi, they are all in the backyard, the fire is basically controlled, no one was injured and burned to death in the fire, but the eight people outside the firewood room were not lightly injured, and most of them were burned by the smoke and fire, and most of them passed out." Situ An's tone was tantamount to putting himself in a slightly lower position than Gu Changming, "Didn't you say that they committed something, and they were all descendants of the Liu family?" ”

"It's not a subordinate, it's a lurker, it's a dangerous element lurking in Kaifeng Mansion." Gu Changming said word by word, "Not only did they kill Fang Yuanyuan, but they may even take Liu Zhiyuan's case to do it." ”

Situ An clearly gasped through the door and said, "Are there any real evidence for these?" ”

"Liu Zhuxuan, who took office not long ago, is a fake, the real eldest son of the Liu family has always been locked up in the dark room of his firewood room, that is, the place where you put out the fire just now, you can go down and take a look at the dark room, life is very difficult, and I finally see the light of day again." Gu Changming motioned for the little phoenix to reopen the door of the stove room.

Situ An stood outside the door, his face seemed to have overturned the dye of the drawing, purple and red, and all the colors were complete.
