Chapter 21: Never
The same question, the little phoenix who walked not far also asked: "Brother Gu, are we going to the heavenly prison to save people?" ”
"Go to save people, but don't go to prison." Gu Changming looked at her worried expression, smiled and raised his hand to touch her soft earlobe, "The two of us went to the prison like this, not to save people, but to send them to death." ”
Little Phoenix didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be more worried: "Do we have any other better way?" ”
"All the methods are thought up by people, and there will still be some of them." Gu Changming had no intention of leaving the Liu family at all, and took the little phoenix to the front yard.
The little phoenix suddenly asked, "What kind of sound is this?" ”
"Situ An is interrogating the suspect." Gu Changming knew very well why Situ An didn't bring the suspect back, there were too many people, and he brought it back to the palace, but it was inconvenient to do it. Now that the Liu family has no master, he has become the master here, so he didn't take Liu Zhuxuan, who has been reduced to a prisoner, and Liu Zhuxue, who was expelled from the door, in his eyes.
has such an arrogant appearance, only after he has been dormant in front of the Queen Mother all these years.
"Isn't that tantamount to unbridled?" Although the little phoenix didn't see it with her own eyes, she felt pain all over her body just by hearing the sound. If she was caught by such a ruthless person when she was still in Qikunmen, she probably wouldn't have survived.
"He's greedy." Gu Changming said with a straight face, Situ An wanted to dig out more clues from these people. Even if these people can't endure the torture and have confessed, they still feel that it is not enough, and they can dig deeper again. This has become a dead cycle, after all, there are only a limited number of things that can be confessed, but the human body can't bear it for long.
Gu Changming saw that someone was dragged out motionless, and the blood stains were dragged out all the way, and someone followed behind and kept washing the ground with clean water. He was in a trance, and his heart, which he thought was untouched at all, sank deeper.
"Is that man dead?" Except for the peach heart and buttons, the little phoenix doesn't remember the other accomplices very well. It was a young man, the younger he was, the more stubborn he became, thinking that his tone could be very tight. Of course, the dead are the ones who are the best at keeping secrets.
"Situ An is a little excessive." Gu Changming approached quickly, and the two people guarding the door should recognize him when they saw him. Situ An only left his closest cronies down, and he didn't dare to offend, so he politely asked him to wait outside the door for a while, and went back to Lord Ming Situ first.
Gu Changming looked up, this room was originally the main hall of the Liu family, Liu Zhiyuan's hospitality here, the inside was very spacious and bright, but now it was used as such a dark and shady act.
As soon as Situ An heard him coming, he immediately put down the work in his hand, wiped his fingers and walked out: "Young Master Changming, there are still some small problems here that have not been solved, don't be too anxious." ”
"Let me go to see the Queen Mother." Gu Changming didn't give him more time to think about it, "My father fainted in the prison and was unconscious, I want the Queen Mother to let me in." ”
Situ An was suddenly embarrassed: "Isn't this that you haven't tried Liu Zhuxuan yet?" ”
"There are all human and material evidence, and he is the one who needs no interrogation." Gu Changming looked at him expressionlessly, not giving him any chance to refuse, "I must be reduced to the queen mother, otherwise what happened recently in the Liu family will soon spread all over the streets and alleys." ”
When Situ An heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "You dare! ”
It was obviously the credit of giving it away, but when it came to Gu Changming's mouth, it became a weakness! Situ An didn't understand it, his emotions were almost uncontrollable, and he realized that something was wrong when he said a word, and it was too late to change his words.
"I may not have to be such a desperate person for my own sake, but for my father's sake, I will spare all my might." Gu Changming said word by word, "When I see the Queen Mother, I will explain to her old man, don't bother you." ”
"Then how to count the Liu family's mess!" Situ An peeked at him and saw that he didn't mean to return his anger, so he was a little relieved, and his tone had softened, "We've been busy together until this moment, and we can't give up all our efforts." ”
Gu Changming sneered, and said it was us again, this is to put the two of them in the same position, in the same boat, so that he had better not cross the river and tear down the bridge in advance. He only thought that Situ An was discussed: "I want to go to the prison to see my father who is in danger, and the Queen Mother also has the feeling of licking the calf, so she will definitely agree." ”
"Then I'll take you into the palace first. Here are a few of my cronies. Situ An glanced in a certain direction outside the door intentionally or unintentionally, "A few of your companions are not as good as your martial arts, if someone is looking for trouble with them, you can take care of them in advance." ”
Gu Changming understood the threat in his words again, even if there was no external trouble, Situ An's subordinates here could also take action against Guozi and Liu Zhuxue. One of them is a weak woman, and the other is seriously injured, where can they withstand such a siege.
Situ An's little pride was all written on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and he couldn't hide it.
"I hired a master to protect me, even if the person who came had the same martial arts as me, he couldn't win against this person." Gu Changming is also telling the truth, if he and Situ An don't have to earn a life-and-death situation, most of them can have a draw, within five or six hundred moves, it is not good to say who loses and who wins.
Situ An knew very well that he was thoughtful, and this step by step was all expected. So he pulled the hand towel on the table, and hatefully wiped all the ten fingers and the blood stains in the nails: "In this case, what is Changming Gongzi still waiting for, let's go." ”
As soon as Gu Changming took a step, Situ An pointed to the little phoenix behind him: "If you want to enter the palace, I am already very embarrassed, and it is absolutely impossible to take this one." ”
"We have to go together." Gu Changming directly pushed his question back, "The Queen Mother will be willing to see her." ”
Situ An didn't dare to say, what kind of nonsense is this, I don't know where the little girl from the market came out, the Queen Mother is willing to see her! The queen mother didn't even bother to take a look at the emperor's concubines, did Gu Changming know it.
"Okay, okay, count the favors I owe you. I am responsible for bringing you over, and as for whether the Queen Mother wants to see you or not, I can't decide. "Situ An has added another life to his hands, it is too easy for the suspect to die, but it is not so simple to find out the evidence of the crime. He was a little envious of the Bao Heizi who was sitting in Kaifeng Mansion, how to try the prisoner, without torture tools, without coercion and temptation, the first trial was approved.
In the words of the emperor, there is no living person who cannot be judged by Heizi. Even the queen mother especially admired Bao Heizi because of the case of the tanuki replacing the prince with the prince, no matter what happened, she would give three points of face first.
Since this Gu Changming is capable, why don't you go to Bao Heizi to intercede, but you have to embarrass him!
Situ An walked out with his head stuffy, thinking about it, he felt that it was right, Bao Heizi didn't need to ask for credit, and he didn't need the emperor to look at him differently, and he really needed a decent credit too much.
For this alone, his backbone is not as straight as Bao Heizi's.
Gu Changming didn't care about Situ An's fluctuating emotions in his heart, he only wanted the purpose, he just wanted to see the Queen Mother and ask for favors.
Situ An didn't expect that it would be so easy to see the Queen Mother, just passed the word in, and in less than half a pillar of incense, the Queen Mother announced that Gu Changming would enter the palace, and even the little phoenix beside him would not be stopped, and if the Queen Mother didn't speak, who would embarrass Gu Changming.
He stood where he was, and I don't know who whispered something in his ear, asking Lord Situ if he wanted to go with him. Situ An's stomach was full of fire at the man, he scolded for more than a dozen sentences, and turned his head to leave. Since he lost a city in front of Gu Changming, it is better to take advantage of the time when he meets the Queen Mother in front of him and go back to Liufu to continue the interrogation, not afraid that he will not be able to ask his eyebrows.
The little phoenix doesn't seem to have officially entered the palace to see the big guys, although he is calm on the surface, the small drum in his heart is pounding non-stop. Her right hand was warm, but Gu Changming noticed her uneasiness and held her hand.
Strange to say, Gu Changming walks in the wind, her eyes do not squint, the appropriate benefits of the warmth of her hand iron her heart properly and comfortably, and her heart speed quickly returned to normal.
"Don't you have any doubts, this time you can solve them all together." Gu Changming's voice was very low, and he deliberately said it to her alone.
The little phoenix was stunned, probably turning her brain twice, before she realized what she was trying to solve. It must be the part about her life experience, Gu Changming considered that the Queen Mother was also one of the insiders, so he simply took it with him to solve it.
She was moved but not uneasy in her heart, and also whispered: "Find a way to rescue your father first, I'm not in a hurry here." ”
"Why don't you worry, if you miss this village, you may not have this store." Gu Changming suddenly stopped, and the little phoenix didn't have time to stop, and almost hit his back.
The two waited for the female official to come out to announce before they could enter the palace to see the queen mother.
Gu Changming explained again: "No matter what happens, don't open your mouth first." If the Queen Mother asks you, you will answer truthfully. ”
Where did the little phoenix still have any objections, and hurriedly nodded in agreement. When the female officer heard the conversation between the two, she smiled and said, "Gu Gongzi is really polite, and this girl doesn't have to worry too much." The Queen Mother is approachable and easy to get along with, as long as you don't talk nonsense and break the rules, it's okay. ”
Gu Changming walked in slowly, it was not long since he last saw the Queen Mother. The queen mother's appearance is even more haggard, her hair is originally black and white, and her eyes are almost completely white, and when she squints at people, she looks even older. Her gaze slowly swept over Gu Changming's side and stopped at the little phoenix.
In an instant, the huge palace, more than a dozen people present, silent, almost even a needle on the ground was clearly visible.
"Is this the one you brought?" The Queen Mother asked in a dumb voice.
"Yes, bring it to the Queen Mother." Gu Changming didn't need the Queen Mother to ask too clearly, the answer was all in his mouth.
"Let her come over some, and then come over to show the mourners." The Queen Mother beckoned to the little phoenix, and the female official next to her was afraid that the little phoenix would be timid when she entered the palace for the first time, which made the Queen Mother unhappy and almost came forward to drag people.
However, the little phoenix was indeed generous, walked in front of the queen mother with a light gait, and saluted.
Although it is not the etiquette in the palace, the proportions are enough.
The Queen Mother seemed to be very satisfied with her attitude, took her hand, and asked her to turn her face and take a closer look. Then he asked: "Do you know why your father was sent to the prison by the emperor in a fit of anger this time?" ”
"For what shouldn't be said." Gu Changming didn't mention the biological mother of the third princess at all, the concubine who died early.
The Queen Mother snorted, still holding the little phoenix's hand: "She's not." ”
"Is the Queen Mother sure?" Gu Changming actually asked like this, but the Queen Mother was not angry, but sighed softly.
Silence reigned in the palace again, until the Queen Mother spoke again.
"Ruyi was born, and the mourning family was the first person to see her in addition to her biological mother and stable mother. When they were born, the mother and daughter were not very similar, but Ruyi had a red mole here, which was the most eye-catching sign. The Queen Mother turned over the little phoenix's wrist, and the skin on the inside of the wrist was like snow, and there was no trace.
