Chapter 225: Imprisonment

"So I can be awarded the title because I am just right, because we Pingyang Hou are obedient, this is what we deserve." The white jade county lord raised his chin slightly and said, full of arrogance.

"Yes." Gu Banniang sighed softly, "It's not easy for you to live. As she spoke, she raised her head again, "However, it's not easy for me, it's not easy for everyone....."

"You don't have it, so, you don't deserve it, you lose this time, and you may take your life...."She approached, almost face to face with Gu Bainiang, and said in a cold voice that only the two of them could hear, "So, you shouldn't have fought with me in the first place"

"I don't have as much as you..."Gu Banniang also said in a low voice, a trace of the same sneer appeared on her lips, "However, I have one more than you, that is... Luck...."

The White Jade County Lord's eyes flickered, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Luck?" She said in a low voice, looking into the deep palace, "I forgot to tell you that the Empress Dowager has already sent someone to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of her decision on you....His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said..."

The corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and she said word by word in Gu Bainiang's ear, "It's all up to the mother." ”

Gu Bainiang smiled, she shook her head.

"That's not the luck I'm talking about..."She said, as she raised her foot and brushed past the county lord of Baiyu, "This, you will understand later...."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to count them, and uttered a strange phrase in her mouth that was the first year old.

The White Jade County Lord frowned.

"Or five years...."Gu Bainiang continued, looking sideways at her, "However, you are very likely to pay the price of a lifetime of hardship, I use this time to exchange you for a lifetime, you say, who is worthy and who is not?" ”

"It's really hard to die," the county lord of Baiyu sneered.

Gu Bainiang smiled, glanced at her again, and didn't need the eunuch to lead the way, and strode out by herself.

Huang Nei's attendant took the hot tea from the palace maid's hand, waved his hand, and the palace maids bowed their heads and retreated quietly.

This slightly smaller palace is the emperor's sympathy for the prince's hard work in watching the government, and specially let him use it for daily rest.

At this time, King Wenjun sat in front of the table, leaning back slightly on the chair, half-squinting his eyes.

Huang Neishou didn't dare to be disturbed, he knew that sitting in this court for half a day was not an easy job, those civil and military generals, all of them had knowledge, strategy and means, talking to these people, or listening to them, even if you are the Son of Heaven and have the power that the world says, if you are not careful, you will be led by their noses, so that your power can be used by them.

Huang Neishou stood aside carefully, thinking that he suddenly saw the woman, he couldn't help but be indignant, His Royal Highness is tired enough, but this woman is too ignorant to cause trouble, and she really knows people and faces, but it's okay to forget it, otherwise if you really enter the palace in the future, you don't know how much trouble you will cause, but you just blinded the prince......

He thought wildly in his heart, and he didn't know how long it was, when he saw the prince's figure move, he reached out to get the tea.

"Your Highness, it's cold, the old slave goes to change a glass..."Huang Nei said hurriedly.

"No.." King Wenjun had already picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, "In a blink of an eye, the sky is warm, and it hasn't been long since the last time...."

Huang Neishou subconsciously turned his head to look out the window, although it was spring, but the sky was still a little cold, last time? Last time?

King Wenjun's eyes also looked out of the window, slightly distracted.

"You go and say hello to the Criminal Department..."Wenjun Wang said suddenly.

Huang Neishou came back to his senses and didn't react for a while.

"Find a separate yard where you can monitor and listen to ....." King Wenjun continued, "However, one is not allowed to be tortured, two is not allowed to be humiliated, and three is not allowed to ......."

When he said this, he seemed to feel that what he said was a little verbose, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and a slight smile floated.

The smile flashed.

Huang Neishou blinked, although he knew in his heart what he said, he couldn't help but ask out loud, "Your Highness is talking about Gu Niangzi?" ”

King Wenjun looked at him.

"And he told them that he had commanded it." He said briefly.

Huang Neishou felt expected and unexpected, and his expression changed for a moment.

"Your Highness... Not angry? He couldn't help but ask again.

Since the last time I saw the woman, I haven't had a good face, and now this kind of thing has happened... Last time....

Huang Neishou had a flash of inspiration in his mind, it was the first month of the year, and it was still cold and snowy......

Hey, Huang couldn't help but raise his hand and gently slapped his face.

"To be angry? Angry? King Wenjun looked at him and asked with a frown.

Huang Neishou smiled, reached out again and slapped his face lightly.

"The old slave is talkative," he smiled, "the old slave is going to go... Properly arranged...."

He spoke slowly and withdrew.

King Wenjun watched his figure disappear, was slightly stunned, let go of the teacup in his hand, picked up the scroll on the side and looked at it.

The next day, after the visit of the fierce and vicious criminal department officer, the person who probed the brain from time to time to inquire about the news found that the front of the Gu family was sealed, which meant that the Gu family, like other people suspected of being implicated in the capital, was seized by the criminal department, and the news quickly spread.

"Oops, noos, no." The third prince of Baoding Hou walked into the door of the house with an anxious face, didn't care about taking off the cloak on his body, waved his hand and stepped forward with a smile.

Gu Luo'er came out of the house when she heard the sound.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Brother Hai is still in prison..."The third prince of Baoding Hou said in a low voice.

Gu Luo'er's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What about Eighteen Niang?" She asked in a trembling voice, "Are you in prison too?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

The third prince of Baoding shook his head, and thoughtfully reached out to help her sit down, "Don't worry...."

"Say it quickly" Gu Luo'er stood up suddenly, grabbed his arm, if it weren't for the thick clothes, his fingers would have been pinched into his flesh.

"Because it's a woman's dependent, there's no prison ....." The third prince of Baoding Hou frowned, sensing the pain, but did not speak, after all, this kind of thing is a big deal for the Gu family, and if the family is implicated, Gu Luo'er's reaction is also very normal.

He reached out to hold Gu Luo'er's hand and gently patted her to soothe her emotions.

"What's wrong with the lady? The female dependents should be..."Gu Luo'er shook off her husband's hand and said angrily, her eyes full of disappointment.

Needless to say, she must have been specially taken care of..... this damn woman can still be treated like this at this time

Gu Luo'er's hands clasped together.

"Actually, it won't have to be okay..."The third prince of Baoding Hou comforted his wife again and said in a low voice.

Gu Luo'er raised her head suddenly, looking at him with a somewhat hideous expression.

The third prince of Baoding Hou couldn't help but be stunned, and his speech was a little stumbling.

“… Pending trial....Hai Ge'er people are clear to us, and everyone is clear... He is a gentleman, a gentleman has no selfish interests but for the great good, and what he asks for is the law to give judgment, and not for someone to do the right thing for heaven....." The third prince of Baoding Hou said in a low voice, "So, being imprisoned now is just forced by the situation... It would be nice to ask clearly....you don't have to worry...."

I'm not worried, I'm not worried, Gu Luo'er shouted this sentence fiercely and repeatedly in her heart.

"As for Sister Eighteen...."

When her husband's words came into her ears, Gu Luo'er's eyes froze, and she moved her lips without making a sound.

“… After all, she was implicated in the bandit's sister..... the court's intention was to use her to lure the bandit's sister to appear, and then make a decision..."The third prince of Baoding said in a low voice, "So she was held in solitary confinement...."

"How long?" Gu Luo'er asked with a little urgency.

"This..."The third prince of Baoding Hou looked dark and sighed softly.

A year, two years, or a lifetime...... Who can say for sure?

"We will definitely be interrogated and questioned in the next few days, don't be afraid when the time comes, just say ....." The third prince of Baoding Hou said in a low voice.

"Yes, I know." Gu Luo'er pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling with unconcealable excitement.

I will definitely say it well, and I will never hide it

Cases like this are not uncommon in the capital, and the people who handle the case are already familiar with how to go through the various procedural steps, but for every family and family involved in the case, it is undoubtedly a shocking thunder, and the Jiankang Gu family, who has just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly became gloomy again.

Seeing Gu Luo'er open the curtain and come in, the women in the room who were talking in a low voice with a panicked look on their faces all stopped.

"Cousin.." Everyone greeted each other in unison.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, and the sisters who used to play together have changed into women's clothes, but marrying another woman's wife is not as simple as spilling water, and the interests of the mother's family are directly related to their fate in their husband's family.

"..... a few of us, we all came into contact with that bandit that day..."Gu Luo'er glanced around at them and said.

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that time had gone back, and a little amazement appeared on the faces of the women, that day they had a short encounter with Gu Bainiang for the first time, and the shock brought by it had not disappeared until this time, and it would last a lifetime.

That kind of hearty expression of anger is perhaps harder and more painful than a hearty expression of joy.

“.. Yes, who would have thought that he would have such a day..."Gu Xi'er opened his mouth and said, "I knew that I should have killed it at that time"

She married the old businessman, no matter how she looked at it, she was a little cheesy, and she was no longer as bright as when she was a girl.

Gu Luo'er glanced at her with a little disgust, but didn't answer her words.

“.. Don't talk about the past.." Gu Luo'er continued, her eyes swept over the sisters, and she turned the jade ring on her hand, "The government is about to come to inquire, and when the time comes, everyone has to tell the truth.....

"Say, we know?"

"It's just, just when I see him, I don't even see what he looks like..."

The sisters whispered.

"Say? At that time, it was obvious that the relationship between the thief and the eighteenth mother was not ordinary..."Gu Luo'er said slowly, "Everyone can see that Lang You's concubine intends to ......"

As soon as these words came out, the women in the room looked at them in amazement.

"Cousin.. You said? Someone asked with a moment's hesitation.

Gu Luo'er looked sharply at the person who spoke, "Am I not right?" Didn't you see how that kid took care of Eighteen Niang at that time? We just said a word about her, and that kid wanted to beat us..... we were girls who had not been out of the cabinet before, so it was inconvenient to speculate about these things, but now, don't you understand? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Our Gu family has been in trouble for the past two years.." Gu Luo'er's tone slowed down, and she said slowly, "I can't stand the toss anymore... So, it's time for the strong man to break his wrist and the gecko's tail....their family has done such a rebellious thing, and they should take responsibility for it... We must not drag our Gu family into the abyss."

The room was even quieter, and the women looked at each other or lowered their heads, apparently weighing their minds.

"Cousin, it's not right for you to say that..."Gu Xi'er said suddenly.

Gu Luo'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she finally turned her gaze away, "Oh, what's wrong with me?" ”

"I think, whether there is such a thing as you said or not, even if there is, we must not say that at this time." Gu Xi'er said, pulling the slightly wrinkled cuffs.

"You know?" Gu Luo'er's face was displeased, and she frowned and glared at her.

"I don't know much, but I know how to be close to each other, and I won't say anything about it first, but I don't add fuel to the fire" Gu Xi'er said, looking at Gu Luo'er, "Cousin, Eighteen Niang's family is unlucky, is it good for us?" ”

"You also know that she's bad luck and it's not good for us." Gu Luo'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you know that they are offended? Attacking and killing a member of the first product to hide the bandits as a colleague is a capital crime, is it because their family has a bad relationship, do they want our entire family to be buried together? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Gu Xi'er was trembling by her drinking, Nuo Nuo let out a few sounds, and lowered her head.

"Whether we testify or not, her family's guilt is inescapable, you don't understand, I just tell you, this matter is bound to get bigger and bigger, and the more you investigate, the more it is involved...."Gu Luo'er said coldly, her eyes swept over these women one by one, and she sat down with a flick of her sleeves, "You.. Think about it."

The room fell into silence again.

"Cousin.." Someone spoke, she pursed her lips, her voice trembling a little, but she didn't hesitate, "I don't understand this... But.. I still think... Can't and shouldn't do it....."

Gu Luo'er's face froze, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her, and before she could speak, someone spoke again.

"Yes.. Cousin, I don't think I should do this..."

"That's right, that person is the guy of Eighteen Niang... and not a slave..."

"That's right, I also took the money from the Eighteen Niang Pharmacy to gamble...."

One after another, the women spoke, and Gu Luo'er's face became more and more ugly.

"You," she stood up angrily, biting her lip and looking at the women.

"Cousin," the women all looked at her, their eyes shining, "this is the truth, don't be mistaken, it won't do you any good to hurt everyone when the time comes......"

Gu Luo'er was furious, and the hand in front of her trembled slightly.

"Okay.." Her gaze swept over everyone, with a somewhat sarcastic sneer, "I, Gu Luo'er, am not the same as before, and what I said will not count.....

This is the people who used to say that no one dared to say the west, and no one dared to say that it was smelly, and this is the people who used to scramble to tie themselves up.....

"Whatever you want, I hope you don't cry and beg me in the future" Gu Luo'er sneered and walked away.
