Chapter Twenty-Four: Reminiscences of the Dead
But seeing that the woman didn't even dare to look up at him, and it didn't look like she was lying, he suddenly became interested in it.
What do you mean by that? You speak slowly. ”
The woman's hand holding the corner of her clothes paused, as if she was a little hesitant, but Shen Xitang, who was staying on the side, couldn't help it: "My lord, you must not believe his words, they are all in a group!" ”
Hearing the familiar voice, the woman looked back and saw that it was the woman, and her heart suddenly became angry.
I didn't care about being afraid, and I explained everything along the way like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"The adult is this woman, she keeps telling right and wrong along the way, framing that family, and causing an official to be punished!"
As for how the officials were punished, she was not there at the time, she did not witness the whole process, and she was not very clear, so she did not dare to talk about the specific situation.
Lin Xiaofeng, who was on the side, nodded and confirmed what she said: "It's true, Zhang Dazhu is still the board I watched." ”
After listening to her description, Fang Huaining's face was not unexciting.
His gaze fell on Lu Niantian next to him again.
"Tell me about it."
Although the confessions of the two men were viewed from different angles, there was no difference in the general content.
Fang Huaining already had the answer in his heart.
"What does Lord Liu think of this case?" He didn't make up his own mind, lest Liu Feng reverse right and wrong at that time, but threw the problem back to him.
"If what these two people said is true, then they were really wronged before."
Liu Feng reluctantly squeezed out these words from between his teeth, "Fortunately, the prince reminded him in time, and the lower officials did not cause a big disaster, I am really grateful." ”
"Lord Liu is polite, let's close the case." Fang Huaining looked at Gu Yanqing, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
After Liu Feng announced the results, he glanced at Shen Xitang and said secretly.
This woman is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, but she can't be allowed to talk nonsense in front of Fang Huaining.
Now that Gu Yanqing has lost power, his father is already active in the capital, and I believe that news will come in the near future.
If this Fang Huaining returned to the capital and said something that should not be said, let alone returning to Beijing, it is not certain whether he can save his life.
"Send the witnesses back, so that they can be taken care of." As he spoke, Liu Feng glanced at Xi Er behind him and gave him a look.
Xi Er understood and quickly took the person down.
When Shen Xitang was struggling, he covered her mouth without a trace and didn't let her babble.
Just as Gu Yanqing and his family were about to return to the cell, Fang Huaining opened his mouth to stay: "Gu Shoufu stays." ”
Fang Huaining stood up with a chair, walked towards Gu Yanqing, smiled with his eyebrows, and bowed: "I didn't expect to see Shoufu here, it's fate, it's better to let Lord Liu arrange it, this son of the world will rest here for a few days, recuperate his body, and catch up with Shoufu by the way." ”
Gu Yanqing dodged his salute sideways, and his eyes fell on Fang Huaining, as if he wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd: "Gu Mou is already a criminal minister, and he deserves this gift from His Royal Highness, Gu Shoufu was only called in the past, and now he can't count it, His Highness don't call it again." ”
"Then let's call you Brother Gu."
Fang Huaining said to himself, without the slightest intention of asking for his opinion: "Liu Feng, you go and arrange Gu Shoufu's wing next to this son." ”
Liu Feng clenched his fists, what does Fang Huaining mean by this, let him arrange a room for the prisoner!
Seeing that he didn't move, Fang Huaining's face turned cold: "What? Didn't what this son said work? ”
Liu Feng gritted his teeth, unwillingly unwilling and had to suppress his anger: "It works, the lower officials will let people arrange it." ”
"This is Mrs. Gu, right?"
When Fang Huaining faced Gu Yanqing and Liu Feng, he had a completely different attitude: "Sure enough, it is the posture of heaven and man, and it is not a good match for Brother Gu's talented and beautiful appearance!" ”
Shen Jin'an was not familiar with him, and he didn't know what to say, so he just smiled implicitly, stood quietly aside, and kept muttering in his heart.
What is this Fang Huaining, how does it look a little different from the rumors.
That's too self-cooked, isn't it?
"Is it okay for His Highness to call Gu?"
Although he had not dealt with this person, Gu Yanqing knew it too.
To be able to live in the capital until now, he is not as harmless as he appears on the surface.
"I said that I was catching up with Brother Gu, why don't you talk while walking?"
Seeing that Liu Feng still wanted to keep up, he immediately asked: "Lord Liu must have a lot of official business, so you don't have to be by the side of this son, just take care of yourself." ”
Liu Feng paused, he couldn't hear that he was in the way, and looked at Gu Yanqing's back hatefully.
Why? Where is Gu Yanqing so good, attracting so many big people?
In the past, the saint was extremely convinced of his words, and today Fang Huaining also favored him, breaking the consistent principle.
Why the hell!
"It's just that I've heard about Brother Gu's deeds before, and when I see it today, I can't help but be nosy."
Fang Huaining took a sip of tea, his eyes flashed, and his face was faintly worried: "Brother Gu won't be angry just because of this matter, right?" ”
Gu Yanqing didn't make a clear statement, his brows furrowed slightly, and he just said vaguely: "Your Highness is happy." ”
However, Shen Jin'an looked at this Fang Huaining, a little strange.
His face was pale and tinged with a hint of blackness, which was not a symptom of an ordinary illness.
She looked at Gu Yanqing's face again, although it was still morbidly pale, it was already much better than before.
"Fang Shizi, the little woman dares to ask, is Shizi looking for a few medicinal herbs?"
This is something that Liu Feng accidentally said before.
Shen Jin'an had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and now seeing that this Fang Huaining has a relatively mild temper, it seems that there is no big problem for the time being, and it is worth cooperating.
Moreover, when they first arrived here, I am afraid that they will have to stay here for a while, Liu Feng may not be willing to give up on today's affairs, if he has the heart to retaliate, this road is even more dangerous, if you fight hard, you can still earn a way for the children to live, and ...... Gu Yanqing.
He is also going to return to the capital after all, and when the time comes, one more ally will also have multiple ways to retreat.
"Oh, how does Mrs. Gu know? Could it be that there is news about these medicinal herbs? ”
Originally, she was interested in Gu Yanqing, but now this Mrs. Gu took the initiative to talk, which made Fang Huaining a little surprised.
"There is no news of these medicines, but seeing that Shizi seems to be sick for a long time, the little woman knows a little about medical skills, so she feels curious."
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she said that she was curious, but even if she didn't diagnose the pulse, she could be sure that Fang Huaining's disease could definitely be cured by herself.
Gu Yanqing frowned, knowing in her heart what she was planning, and faintly disagreed. He shook his head at Shen Jin'an, not wanting her to get involved in this matter, the relationship between the Duke of Protector and the imperial court is complicated, and it cannot be explained in one or two sentences.
"Trust me." Shen Jin'an held his hand, unusually firm.
She knew that Gu Yanqing was worried about her, but for the sake of the child, she had to do it.
What's more, she has faith in herself.
Gu Yanqing saw that her attitude was firm, and he held her hand back, invisibly giving her strength.
Forget it, let her go, if Fang Huaining is in trouble, he can protect it.
