Chapter 124: General Gu returns to the court

"Hefu is also on fire, don't check it well, I'm sorry for that fire." Mu Jinran blinked, and he knew the cause of the fire in Hefu like a mirror.

Gu Qingluo was stunned.

It turned out that Xuanyuan Ji had always had a fire in Gu's house, and he knew that she went to He's house to set a fire.

She was finally relieved: "Then, there are two Laos."

"Miss Gu, let's take care of the baby with peace of mind, there will be good news tomorrow."

"Hmm."

Mu Jinran left, Gu Qingluo looked at the boundless night and let out a long mouthful of turbid breath in his chest.

It's time for the He family to fall......

This fire tonight is the burning fire that He Feng added for himself!

And as soon as Xuanyuan Ji intervened, he directly exempted her from the next hardship. She just needs to wait at home for good news now.

"Lord Ling, General Gu will be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow at the latest, don't worry too much, our people have been protecting." Qingluan came over and stuffed Gu Qingluo with a hot soup woman.

"Well, it's almost over." Gu Qingluo smiled slightly.

If Mu Jinchen and the He family are brought down, the fate of the Gu family will be reversed, right?

————

The two generals' mansions were burned at the feet of the Son of Heaven overnight, and the entire capital was shaken.

Emperor Jing was furious and ordered Xuanyuan Ji and Mu Jinran to investigate thoroughly overnight.

When he heard that he had searched for physical evidence from He's house, Emperor Jing jumped to his feet in anger and asked He Feng, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" He Feng was forced to kneel on the cold floor in front of the emperor, and he still couldn't figure out who had stored fire oil in his house to frame him.

"Are you wronged? Could it be that the oil was put in your house by Lord Liu and King Chen?" Emperor Jing scolded angrily.

It's not a disaster for his wife and children, not to mention that the Gu family hasn't been convicted yet!

If there was a casualty in the Gu family last night, how would he explain to the Gu family's father and son? How to stabilize Gu Jiajun's heart?

"The minister doesn't know who put the oil in it." He Feng cautiously glanced at Xuanyuan Ji.

He and He Qinru did a clean job, and there was no fire oil left at home. Those two barrels of incriminating evidence were put by Gu Qingluo!

But he had no proof......

He can't say that he watched the Gu family catch fire last night and didn't save it, right?

"General He and Miss He Er were not at home when the fire broke out last night, where did you go in the middle of the night?" Xuanyuan asked lazily.

He even changed into a comfortable sitting position on the vermilion lacquer chair given by the Imperial Gift!

The whole world can be treated like this, and dare to be so arrogant in front of the emperor, he is the only one who is Xuanyuanji!

He Feng loves and hates this monstrous power, when will he become a peak ruler like Xuanyuan Ji?

"Qin Ru misses her mother, I want to accompany her out of the city to her mother's old residence to see, but I saw the house on fire halfway, so I hurriedly turned back." He Feng said.

"Heh......

Xuanyuan Ji smiled softly, his cold laughter full of the king's contempt, "That's not what He Qinru said."

He Feng's face changed greatly, and he stammered when he spoke: "She, maybe she didn't dare to mention her mother to outsiders......

"She did." Xuanyuan said.

He Feng: .........

Mentioned?

So what did He Qinru say?

"She said ......" Xuanyuan put out the end meaningfully, but didn't say the second half of the sentence.

He Feng's heart hung in his throat, and he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to give Xuanyuan Ji two fists. ….

But he didn't dare!

He could only hold back and wait for an answer.

"Alright, if the confessions of your father and daughter do not match, it means that you are lying." Xuanyuan Ji stood up from the vermilion lacquer chair and bowed slightly to Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, the physical evidence was collected from the He family, please ask the Emperor to take a clear look."

Emperor Jing's temples jumped suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "He Feng, did you really do it?"

"Don't dare! If the minister set it on fire, how could he burn down his own mansion?" He Feng secretly complained in his heart, which one of the thousands of knives hid fire oil in his house?

Maybe it's to cover it up?" Lord Liu whispered.

"Lord Liu!" He Feng roared angrily.

Master Liu shrunk his neck and said, "Wechen will talk about things......

"Your Majesty, the fire in Hefu was discovered in a timely manner, and there was no loss. But the Gu family almost died." Mu Jinran came to report on the work in a timely manner.

Emperor Jing's heartstrings tightened when he heard this: "Is Old Madam Gu injured?"

"Miss Gu worked hard to protect her family, and she commanded properly, so no one was injured. However, the Gu family burned down five rooms, and the property that has been sorted out now has been lost nearly 1,000 taels." Mu Jinran handed over the list.

Emperor Jing took it and looked at it again, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that people are fine!" I will compensate for the loss of money."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Jinran owes himself, "The old lady of the Gu Mansion asks the emperor to thoroughly investigate the arsonist and repay the family justice."

"I'm investigating."

Emperor Jing stroked his beard and walked back and forth, and the twelve Yu Mingzhu covered his gaze so clearly that it was difficult to speculate.

He Feng knelt on the ground and repeated again and again that he didn't do it.

Mu Jinran asked, "General He may prove that the fire was not yours and put it at home?"

"This ......" He Feng thought for a moment and said, "The minister knows who put it there."

"Who?"

Emperor Jing stopped and asked.

Lord Liu's heart jumped violently, for fear that He Feng would say that he had released it.

The oil was searched by his people, but there were people from Xuanyuan Ji who were also present at the time!

"It was Gu Qingluo who arranged for the people of Baimei Villa to do it." He Feng gritted his teeth and said.

"Gu Qingluo?" Emperor Jing twisted his eyebrows and asked the commander in charge of guarding the Gu family, "Did Gu Qingluo leave the mansion last night?"

"Not really." The commander replied, "Miss Gu has been directing people to put out fires in the mansion, and until King Lin arrived, Miss Gu was still in the mansion."

Mu Jinran said, "Yes."

"She can be in the mansion and command the people of Baimei Villa." He Feng said.

This time, he must drag Baimei Villa in!

"But the fire in Gu's Mansion is even bigger, Miss Gu can't burn down her own house, right?" Lord Liu was speechless.

The ladies of the Gu family were so frightened that they cried wolf, and many neighbors heard it!

In contrast, it is more likely that He Feng set fire to cover up the crime himself!

"If that is the case, it is quite possible that General He will set the fire himself." Mu Jinran smiled, elegant and extravagant. Clear eyes, no desire, no desire.

Emperor Jing likes his indifferent fame and fortune as a beautiful man the most, and his mood has changed when he sees him.

He stroked his beard and said, "King Lin's words are right. He Feng, you can't get to the point after arguing, and if you can't come up with strong evidence, I will condemn you."

"Your Majesty!" He Feng was shocked and panicked, and directly performed a "pupil earthquake".

At this moment, Gonggong Xu came to report in a panic: "Your Majesty, General Gu has rushed back!"

"So fast?"

Emperor Jing and He Feng blurted out at the same time.

One is happy, the other is surprised.

Gonggong Xu felt the emperor's joy and said with a smile: "General Gu traveled day and night, and he went directly to the palace without even returning home."

"Please come in!" Emperor Jing said as he personally greeted him.

He Feng was so jealous that he was about to deform!

They are all generals from Dongzhou, and he has never been treated like this......

But it doesn't matter, as soon as Gu An returns to the court, the arson case seems to be insignificant. As long as the big crime of Gu An's rebellion is confirmed, the entire Gu Mansion will be finished!.
