Chapter 223: Confrontation
Chapter 223: Confrontation
"Human witnesses? Where's the witness?" Gu Bainiang also asked coldly, "Dare to slander and bite me....."
"Slander and bite?" The servant sneered and lowered his voice, "They are all servants of your own family, and there is also a personal witness from Mrs. Zhong of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, these people are not strangers who don't know and slander you indiscriminately, Miss Gu, you know it, and you still know it better....."
"Pingyang Hou Mansion?" Gu Bainiang's voice suddenly increased, her voice was high-pitched, only allowing the onlookers at the door to hear it clearly, and there was a buzz of discussion.
Suddenly hearing her shout, the messenger was shocked and immediately understood, and his face was even more ugly.
"Miss Gu, this kind of trick is useless for our criminal department....." He flicked his chains, "Since you don't want to leave, then don't blame us for being polite....."
In front of everyone, he was chained and taken away, No matter how guilty he is, his reputation in the future will be over, the slaves trembled and almost stood unsteadily, Gu Bainiang's face was cold, but his expression was calm.
This girl is really bold enough! In the past, people trembled when they saw them, let alone retort the conversation, the servants thought to themselves, and when they looked at this girl again, not only was there no panic on their faces, but there seemed to be a flash of eagerness... That's right, eagerly..
Fervent? Is there anyone in the world who is looking forward to the arrest of these servants?
"Take it away!" The lead officer shook off this ridiculous thought, couldn't help but be impatient, waved his hand and ordered.
The wolf-like servants broke off in unison, frightening the crowd outside the door.
"Wait!" Suddenly there was a louder cry outside the door.
Here, Pingyang Hou and Zhu Chunyang talked for a moment, and were about to get up to say goodbye, but they heard a rush of footsteps, and a man in soap clothes with a somewhat embarrassed expression appeared at the door.
This is a prominent figure in the errand service, and he is also Zhu Chunming's godgrandson, relying on the backstage godfather and the top boss godfather, acting as a blessing and arrogant, but it looks difficult to hide his panic at this time.
In fact, many people have unconsciously revealed this kind of demeanor recently, which made Zhu Chunyang angry for no reason.
He asked with a cold face, "Have you all been caught?" ”
"No....", the officer said dryly.
“?” Zhu Chunyang frowned and asked, looking at the man coldly, "Then what are you doing here?" ”
"Grandpa, it's not that the little ones are incompetent...."The messenger hurriedly explained, "Yes... It was the palace that passed the Yi decree....I want the Gu family to enter the palace...."He looked at Zhu Chunyang's instantly gloomy face, and hurriedly rushed to save the situation, "However, the other people have brought back...."
The main owner ran away, and the remaining small fish and shrimp were counted, and Zhu Chunyang's face sank like the bottom of the pot.
Zhu Yang, who was guarding filial piety at home, also got the news at the same time, and was immediately furious.
"The evidence is ironclad, isn't there a king law in the heavens?" He shouted waving his hand.
When the people around heard it, they were stunned, and it was really commendable to hear the words Wang Fa from the mouth of the master of their own family.
"My father has done his best for His Majesty to shelter from the wind and rain for so many years, how many things he has done for him, how much infamy he has borne, and now that the bones are not cold, someone is going to cover up the suspect, this is to make the courtiers of the world feel cold" Zhu Yang beat his chest and paused, his eyes were red and he cried and shouted, "I want to enter the palace, I want to enter the palace to face the saint"
Just when the outside world is in an uproar, the palace is always majestic and calm, as unfathomable as a lake.
After busy with a bunch of political affairs, King Wenjun stood up and walked to the big window, although the weather was cold, but it was not as unbearable as the winter, the window was wide open, the location of this palace was good and the sight was open, it was refreshing to look at it, which was also the reason why the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty chose this place as the palace of diligence.
"His Royal Highness is still thoughtful and sent the forbidden army, otherwise, we waiters don't know what to do with those lawless boys...."Huang Neishou walked over from the side silently and said in a low voice.
King Wenjun didn't say anything, his face was calm, and his gaze kept falling on the empty hall.
"But, Your Highness, let's go and say hello to Your Majesty, I heard that Lord Xiao Zhu has already knelt outside the palace gate....." A little worry flashed on Huang Nei's face, and he whispered again.
The sensitive and suspicious Emperor Longqing always has a mind that is difficult for ordinary people to guess, since entering the East Palace and accompanying the future Son of Heaven, Huang Neishou has become more and more deeply experienced.
Outsiders seem to have chosen this prince himself, and he is indeed entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but in fact, every step and every line of the prince is careful to walk on thin ice, but it is still difficult to avoid unwarranted disasters, such as this year's New Year, according to the convention of the emperor who does not go to court for a year, at this time anyway, he must take time to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials, and a celebrant casually asked when the prince should accept the congratulations of the hundred officials, this sentence is actually no big problem, since there is a prince, and watch the government for a long time, It is completely in line with etiquette to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials.
But because of this sentence, the celebrant rolled up and left the next day, ostensibly looking for a big disrespectful mistake, but what the truth is, it is enough to make the discerning courtiers know that the emperor is annoyed, thinking that the courtiers can't wait to let themselves go, and the country is replaced by a new person.
In those days, what was the prince's mentality, Huang Neishou didn't dare to snoop, but he himself couldn't sleep for several nights in a row.
Fortunately, that time was someone else's action, and the prince could be said to be innocently implicated, but this time, the prince personally came forward to invite the queen mother and ordered the forbidden army to accompany him, and the most important thing is that the incident involved this time is related to the death of Zhu Chunming, which was ordered by the emperor to investigate thoroughly and not allow anyone to interfere....
How could this Gu Niangzi cause such a ** annoyance, Huang Neishou was dissatisfied with Gu Eighteen Niang for the first time, what was she thinking? Obviously, such a cautious and intelligent person, how could he do such a foolish thing, is it true that he is arrogant because of the happy event?
Sure enough, the face is red.....
"Yes." King Wenjun just responded lightly, his voice was still unwavering, and he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations.
His gaze fell outside, and he could faintly see a group of people passing through the corridor and heading towards the palace to the west, where was the queen mother's bedroom.
This is the second time to enter the most noble place of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a trace of indescribable taste flashed on Gu Banniang's slightly lowered face.
Here, all the time, nothing and nothing do not make you feel that the supremacy of imperial power wants an invisible mountain, suppressing everyone in it, once you touch its majesty, there is no other way to go except death.
This feeling of life and death is really uncomfortable, here you will always feel like an ant, useless in fighting, and destined to be like this.
This kind of place, don't come to it for the third time..... Gu Bainiang repeated this sentence in her heart.
After a short journey, it seems that I have walked for a lifetime, and finally arrived at the palace of the Queen Mother, and there are already many people in the palace who are standing, sitting or kneeling, basically acquaintances.
Seeing Gu Bainiang walking in, the eyes of the white jade county lord could kill her.
"Gu Xiang, do you know that bandit?" The Queen Mother asked in a cold voice.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall immediately froze.
"Yes." Gu Banniang lowered her head and replied, her voice without the slightest hesitation.
Her gaze swept over the four or five servants kneeling on the side of the main hall, those were the former servants of her family, and Mrs. Zhong was standing with her back straight.
Seeing that she answered so happily and crisply, the Queen Mother was slightly stunned, and her expression eased slightly.
"Gu Xiang, tell me in detail, is this a misunderstanding?" She asked in a deep voice.
"Mother." The county lord of Baiyu frowned lightly and said, "There is still a misunderstanding, she has admitted it, and she is involved with that bandit..."
"According to what the county lord said, everyone who knows the bandits is implicated?" Gu Banniang raised her head and snorted coldly, and said lightly, "The thief Zhu Jiayizi in the mouth of the county lord has made friends in Beijing, and he knows countless people, so are they all involved?" ”
"Presumptuous" Bai Yujun saw that the woman standing at the bottom of the stairs suddenly raised her head, and actually looked at herself, and refuted herself on the spot in front of the Queen Mother, adding a little consternation to her anger.
This was the fourth time they had met, and she clearly found that the girl's attitude had completely changed, although they were not familiar with each other in the first place, but now it seemed that they were strangers as if they had met for the first time.
"Did the lord of this county ask you? The royal palace and noble court, how can you open your mouth wantonly" The county lord of Baiyu raised his eyebrows and shouted, the humiliation she has suffered these days is something she has never experienced in her life, and it is all thanks to this cheap maid.
"The county lord is so majestic." Gu Banniang smiled coldly and said, "Dare to ask the Queen Mother, do you have anything to ask you?" The Queen Mother was asking me, and before I could answer, the county lord spoke, isn't it more reckless?"
"You" The White Jade County Lord was furious, looking at this woman in disbelief.
Everyone in the hall was also stunned, but as soon as the two of them met, as soon as they spoke, they immediately swords, looking at the two people who were holding each other, their status was just like the position they were standing in now, high and low, but the momentum was unexpectedly up and down.
"Niangniang, did you see that?" The county lord of Baiyu turned around angrily and said to the queen mother, "Look how arrogant she is, dare to roar in front of you....."
"I am arrogant, dare to ask the county lord, a noble lord, and an example of virtuous and virtuous ladies in the world, but because of selfish interests, I instructed my servants to slander and frame my family, what is such an act?" Gu Banniang raised her eyebrows and asked.
Of course, everyone will not say it like this, just wait for the gentle questioning and answering to prove it.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother opened her mouth and said two words, and the scene became like this: You attack me and fight each other.
The Queen Mother was also slightly stunned, looking at the two people in front of her, and she didn't react to what was going on for a while.
