In the dark, damp dungeon, Zheng Wufu struggled hard, the cloth was strangled in his mouth, the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood, and the sound of "woo woo ahhh

Losing the fixation of the wine vat, Mrs. Su's remaining half of her body squirmed on the ground, "waste ......"

The waste in her mouth is her godless daughter Su Xunji in front of her, Su Xunji has been leaning against the corner with her eyes open, eating and laughing, like a fool.

Droplets of water fell and hit the ear drums of the two of them like exploding fireworks.

No one came to torture them, they couldn't guess who would tie them up, and the silence was like rattan snaking up from the soles of their feet, tangling around them, and finally leaving them with all the grass and trees.

Sioux House.

The lamp oil was boiled out, the maid stood under the porch sleepy, the waste paper on the case in front of Su Nanchen was piled up one by one, Gu Mingchao was nervous, and poured a mouthful of tea into his mouth.

There was no reply to the letter sent to Chen Liu and Fuyang a few days ago, and the urgent letter seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no response at all.

The eight hundred miles sent to Yandu this time were urgent, Su Nanchen stayed awake all night, and from time to time he had to pull Gu Mingchao to discuss, Gu Mingchao was afraid that he would answer wrongly all of a sudden, so he always carried tea leaves around him, and chewed two pieces when he was sleepy.

"My lord, my lord! Something happened again! ”

The frightened screams of the little guy made Su Nanchen suddenly erupt, got up to overturn the case, and shouted: "Something happened!" What's going on? ”

Gu Mingchao breathed a sigh of relief, Su Nanchen's appearance just showed that this person was extremely anxious in his heart, as long as there was a piece of driftwood now, he could pick it up. The original "lonely city closed" trapped the chess players.

Gu Mingchao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, adults. Let him speak slowly. ”

The little guy cowered and lay on the ground, "My lord, Xie Songzhao is gone......"

Gu Mingchao's eyes were dark, his head suddenly throbbed, he got up too quickly and his body was not stable, and what came out of his throat was not a sound, but a hoarse ghost scream, "Isn't he in prison?" You can't even look at each other?! ”

After a crackling sound, his reason returned, his fingers stiffened, bent slightly twice, turned his head to Su Nanchen and smiled bitterly: "My lord...... Let's start searching the city, now! First the second lady, Mrs., and Zheng Beijia, now even Xie Songzhao is gone, my lord ......"

Su Nanchen stared into his eyes and said, "I searched the city before, but I found nothing. ”

Gu Mingchao's mind was already starting to faint, and he couldn't wait to go up and knock him over with a punch, gritted his teeth and pinched his fingers and said, "My lord, what if Xie Songzhao leaves the city?" Must he have been kidnapped? There was a guard by his side before, and he had disappeared since the morning he got married, how could he be sure that he was not going to move the rescuers? ”

Su Nanchen got up and walked down, "Gu Mingchao, I'm also in a hurry, but I searched the city before, and I didn't even find a ghost." ”

Gu Mingchao wanted to swallow the breath in his chest, choking his eyes with swelling pain, "My lord, he is out of the city, all your words are in vain." If he dies in this city, then do you say, will Yandu want a better scapegoat? Xie Songzhao's cousin Xie Haonan is now stationed in northern Xinjiang and is Zuo Shuai. You said, if you want to appease the Xie family, what will the prince do? ”

Su Nanchen listened to his words step by step, unmoved, "Gu Mingchao, my daughter is now the fifth grade Zhaoxun in the prince's east palace, and I am now a relative of the emperor, you say, the prince ......"

Gu Mingchao interrupted him strongly, "Su Nanchen, make a face, Su Zhaoxun is not favored in the palace, don't you know, this kind of royal relatives, just use it to deceive others, ...... me Let's open the skylight and say something. ”

Su Nanchen smiled: "Okay, open the skylight and say something, let's talk about it, why do you have to find Xie Songzhao?" ”

Gu Mingchao's expression gradually calmed down as he watched him, but the anxiety on his face did not decrease by half, "My lord, the Xie family has been loyal and good for generations, Xie Heng is the only one left in Xie Songzhao's lineage, if he dies, the prince will be ...... to this cousin What do you say, my lord? ”

After leaving three points, Su Nanchen staggered half a step and looked out of the door, "Dead people cannot be surpassed, the prince needs the Xie family, and I, Su Nanchen, have no effect on him." Just because the royal majesty is not strict and connives, these two items are enough for the prince to take me to the knife......"

Gu Mingchao was almost sure that Xie Songzhao should have been transferred by Su Nanchen, and Guihong didn't dare to leave Xie Songzhao for half a step, so he didn't receive the news, and Yoda had been by his side all the time, so he had no time to take care of him. This almost called Su Nanchen to give it.

Gu Mingchao thought of this, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, "My lord, in my opinion, Xie Songzhao must also be found out after digging three feet into the ground, he is a crucial move in our game of chess." ”

This problem was kicked into Su Nanchen's hands, Su Nanchen's face stiffened, and he swallowed, "This official will ask someone to find it, you can rest assured ......"

Gu Mingchao said yes, and Su Nanchen suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, "Ming Dynasty, are you selfish about this?" ”

Gu Mingchao pretended to be nervous and said, "My lord...... This, this, alas...... I am naturally selfish, and this Xie Songzhao has always controlled my lifeline...... I, naturally I don't want him to ......"

Su Nanchen grabbed his hand and shook it slightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, with this official here, I can't turn the sky out of the sky if I forgive him." ”

Gu Mingchao immediately shook off his hand gratefully, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, my lord!" ”

The smile on Gu Mingchao's face hung all the time, and it wasn't until he returned to the mansion he bought in Guiyang that his face fell, and Yoda followed behind him and didn't dare to make a sound.

Gu Mingchao sat down and spat out, "It's my fault for this, I didn't arrange for you to guard him." ”

Yoda stumbled and said, "Childe, if you go down to take care of Master Hou, then you ...... What to do? ”

Gu Mingchao was angry in his heart, not at others, but at himself, hearing him say this, his heart became even more uncomfortable, "Yoda, me and Xie Songzhao, can't you tell which is more important?" ”

Yoda looked at him stunned, "Childe, you are the same as Master Hou...... They are all the masters of the Hou Mansion. ”

This time it was Gu Mingchao's turn to be surprised, deep down in his heart, he always felt that he was a guest, and he never regarded the Hou Mansion as his home, but when he was away from home, he felt more like family to Xie Songzhao.

Gu Mingchao rubbed the corners of his forehead and sighed, "Okay, I know, you are outside, I'll deduce it and see if there are any mistakes." ”

Yoda stood on his heels and added: "Childe, you must not say this in the future, especially with Hou Ye, Hou Ye really treats you as a family member." You call this ...... Foolishness! That's right, it's self-indulgence! ”

Gu Mingchao couldn't cry or laugh, "Okay, okay, I know." Remember, don't let people come close. No one can do it in half an hour, not even a little maid. After thinking about it, he said, "If it's about Master Hou, come in and call me directly." ”

After Yoda went out, Gu Mingchao's face slowly cooled again, and he walked behind the screen and pushed away the floor tiles, a strong musty smell came out of the black and slimy cellar, and the candle in his hand was almost extinguished, Gu Mingchao stretched out his hand to protect it.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Mingchao raised his feet and walked down.

Walking through the cold, damp and slippery dark passage, Gu Mingchao pushed open a door, and the faint sound of struggle was like a mosquito fly.

Gu Mingchao walked slowly, and suddenly tripped over something slimy under his feet, Gu Mingchao lowered the candle, looked at it by the candlelight, and said, "Mrs. Su, why are you on the ground?" ”

Mrs. Su suddenly heard Gu Mingchao's voice and was furious, "Gu Mingchao! You and Xie Songzhao are a nest of snakes and rats! In cahoots! Tar someone with the same brush! ”

Gu Mingchao didn't bother to pay attention to her, "That's right, we are - it's not that a family doesn't enter the door." ”

Mrs. Su wanted to grab his teaching with her hand, and after calling for a long time, she finally remembered again that she had no hands left, and suddenly a series of words that Gu Ming didn't understand erupted in her throat, but it was just a trapped beast fighting, and it was useless.

Gu Mingchao said: "How do you think that this is blocked and can be heard outside?" ”

Mrs. Su was debunked and slowly shut down, Han didn't hear it before, but now that Gu Mingchao came in, she still wanted to try, Gu Mingchao sneered, "Mrs. Su, your life is in vain." ”

Mrs. Su's eyes were red, and she hit him fiercely, but it was a pity that the person who was half-cut was imitating the worm wriggling even when he moved, Gu Mingchao no longer stayed, and squinted to find Zheng Wushi by candlelight.

Zheng Wuxian saw that he wanted to get up, but he hadn't eaten for a long time, and his hands and feet were weak, and he looked at Gu Mingchao's jaw trembling again and again.

Gu Mingchao squatted in front of him, "Zheng Beijia, don't you want to talk about it, what did you tell Xie Songzhao last time you went to prison?" ”

Zheng Wuxian swallowed his saliva, where is this cold and said, now I am lucky to survive, and after I go out, tell Yandu about this, this is really beneficial.

Gu Mingchao pulled out the dagger from his boots, "Zheng Beijia, do you think life is important or these words are important?" ”

Zheng Wuxian tried to move him with affection, "Hou Ye, Xie Hou Ye said that the person he believes in the most is you, and you stabbed him in the back like this...... I'm afraid that the world will despise it. ”

Gu Mingchao said with a smile: "Full of warmth and lust, without us to let these people in the world eat and clothe, where do they have the leisure and leisure to point fingers at others?" ”

Zheng had nothing to refute, so he had to force himself and said, "Master Hou, you are like this...... Isn't it just a house slave with three surnames? ”

Gu Mingchao looked at him fixedly, "Three family slaves? Zheng Beijia, I'm afraid you haven't studied well. Ben Hou is asking you, in prison, Xie Songzhao, what did I tell you! ”

word by word, as if he was going to dismantle Zheng Wufu, looking around at the darkness around him, Zheng Wushi felt that he could do it.

Gu Mingchao put the dagger against Zheng Wuxian's neck and said, "Zheng Don't drive, don't you really say it?" Let Guiyang County fall into the hands of this thief, are you really willing? How innocent are the people? As he spoke, he looked back at Mrs. Su who was trembling on the ground and said, "Mrs. Su, tell me, isn't this a nest of snakes and rats?" Isn't it a mess? Isn't it a raccoon dog? ”

Zheng Wushi met with Xie Songzhao's "hint" last time gradually blurred, and he gradually couldn't remember what Xie Songzhao said, why did he think at that time that Xie Songzhao wanted him to go to Gu Mingchao?

Gu Mingchao pursed his lips and looked at him, impatiently putting more force on his hand, "Don't drive ...... Zheng"

Zheng Wushi was stabbed back to his senses by the pain of the dagger piercing his skin, "Master Hou...... Master Hou! I say! I say! ”

Gu Mingchao's hand loosened his strength and said, "Say it." ”

Zheng Wuxian considered his words, "Master Hou still believed in you at that time, and he asked me to come to you." Complicit in your big things. ”

Gu Mingchao smiled: "What's the big deal?" ”

Zheng Wushi experienced the feeling of stretching out his head and stabbing his head, and when he heard Gu Mingchao speak, he said in a sloppy manner: "Su Nanchen rebelled, I can't stand it, I hope I can borrow Xie Houye's to make a living for the people of Guiyang County." ”
