Liu Chu is a man with a good face, and he has been an official in the court for many years. After experiencing such humiliation, it is naturally impossible to give up. The last time he chose to leave just like that, it was entirely to sell the princess to save face in the future. After offending the princess, it is not easy to do things with the emperor, but the situation is different now. The princess has left the capital. For him, the princess is no longer a person who can threaten him, not to mention that the princess has already left the capital. If you leave, no one in this place will have the need to buy face.
"Mr. Liu, what does this mean? I'm serious about doing business, are you going to put me in jail just because of your words?"
"You are doing serious business, but if you don't cooperate with me in investigating the case, I can't find out the details of the matter and the truth. Naturally, I have to take action against you. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to deal with you."
Liu Chu had already thought about it. Even if these things had nothing to do with the person in front of him, the ten-day limit was coming soon. At that time, the female doctor and the charlatan were all near Lingyin Pavilion. There are no other suspicious places around here, only the Lingyin Pavilion is the most suspicious.
I have already investigated clearly. The emperor has long been dissatisfied with the people in Lingyin Pavilion. Even if I surrender this time, I can still solve the problem this time. The emperor has recently left for the princess. Depressedly, he should have solved this matter while the iron was hot. The emperor had no time to take care of this matter, so he had resolved it and promised to investigate the matter clearly within ten days.
"Master Liu, if you do this, it will reach the ears of the emperor, and I'm afraid there won't be any good results."
Gu Qiang still didn't want to be taken away by him so easily. At least now, she wanted to know what happened, whether she did it somewhere, and whether there were any loopholes that allowed him to catch her.
"I certainly have evidence. Why did the two people who played a decisive role in that matter once appear near your Lingyin Pavilion, and then after the incident, both of them disappeared without a trace? Although I have no way of confirming this, I think this matter must have something to do with you. After all, you are one of the owners of Lingyin Pavilion, and now that your brother is not here, the person with the biggest suspicion is you."
"It's unreasonable for Mr. Liu to say this. If you say this, those two people were setting up stalls on the street. Aren't all the people in the imperial city suspected? How can you just Catch me?"
"That's not what I meant, but since the matter has been investigated on you, you must cooperate with me and go back with me. If you have no suspicion, I will naturally not embarrass you, but if you If you refuse to go back with me, your suspicion will become even greater."
"Well, since Mr. Liu said this, it seems that I can't do it without coming with you. I have to say hello to the people in my store. During my absence, someone came to see me and said hello to me. It’s not good for people inside the store to give orders.”
Liu Chujie smiled and nodded. To be honest, whether he could come back was another matter. Liu Chuzheng was worried that there was no scapegoat for this matter, but he didn't expect that it was just right. At this time, he investigated and found that both of them were from Lingyin Pavilion. No matter what happens nearby, Gusu cannot escape this pot.
Gu Qiang had never known what kind of person this man named Liu Chu was before this, so he didn't know what kind of things he would face if he followed him this time. But Obviously, if I don't leave with him at this time, it will probably affect the other people in Lingyin Pavilion. Furthermore, the people in Shiyi and Qianqiu's hands may not be able to be hostile to the Minister of War. At this time, it is better to take it one step at a time. It is absolutely impossible to choose at this time and conflict with them. Otherwise, the next result may not be something that you can bear.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, Caomin will go with Mr. Liu now, but there is one thing that Mr. Liu has agreed to in advance. This time, Caomin will follow Mr. Liu just to cooperate with the investigation of the case, not to admit that he Please ask Mr. Liu to tell your men about the crime."
Gu Qiangming knew that if he went there this time, he might be beaten into a trap. He only hoped that his brother would be alert to the fact that he was caught quickly when he came back. After all, his brother was also the Minister of Rites. Without making any mistakes, Shen Zhongbai also There is no way to accuse the elder brother. As long as the elder brother can come back in time, he should not be wronged in the house of the Minister of War.
"You are just a commoner, do you dare to make any demands to me? Even now, I have no evidence to prove that this matter is related to you, but this does not mean that this matter has nothing to do with you. The matter has been investigated clearly. , if you are the mastermind behind this matter, I don’t think you have anything else to say.”
"Whether you have anything to say is up to the civilians themselves. Master Liu only needs to investigate clearly whether the person you arrested is right or wrong."
Gu Qiang doesn't know what her current situation is, but the only thing that is certain is that the matter this time is not as easy to solve as the last time. After all, Shen Siyin was by his side last time, and she is by her side this time. There is really no one who can help me.
I originally thought that maybe if I kept stalling like this, I could wait until my brother came back. At least he was still on an equal footing with the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War never dared not to give him face, but my brother didn't know what was going on. , Liu Chu was urging him urgently, and if he insisted on arguing with him, it might not be easy for his brother to deal with it. Gu Qiang thought about it for a while, and decided to leave with him.
"If Mr. Liu insists on letting me go with you, I will go there immediately."
Gu Qiang knew that there would never be any good results after going this time, but now, he could only take one step at a time.
Eleven was afraid that something would go wrong, so he hurried to find Gu Huaian. Gu Huaian had been studying the matter of forging silver needles recently. He was afraid that after Qingping left, he would not be able to control Qian'er's body by himself. Because of its toxicity, I thought of getting a pair of silver needles like Qingping's.
Most of Qingping's silver needles were made to order by craftsmen, so he didn't dare to be careless in this matter. He even went out of his way to find the best craftsmen in the city to help him. If there was anything wrong with him, let him Qian'er suffered for no reason. She didn't expect that such a thing would happen in Lingyin Pavilion within such a short period of time since she left.
"Young Master, you'd better go back and take a look. Something happened with the master, and he was taken away by Liu Chu just now."
Eleven hurriedly ran over to find Gu Huaian. After hearing the news, Gu Huaian became anxious. Liu Chu had such courage. He was just a minister of the Ministry of War and dared to interrogate him privately. It was a bit too ungrateful. Well, what's more, he chose to go there when he was not there, knowing clearly that if he were there, he would never be able to take people away so easily. Although he no longer has the power to co-manage the six departments, he still doesn't It means that he, who is on an equal footing with him, can bully his own people under his nose. He is a mere minister of the Ministry of War, but he has not yet taken it seriously.
"Come on, take me there right now."
Gu Huaian didn't even have time to explain what he had in his hands, and hurriedly followed Eleven to the Sixth Department. However, he didn't expect that Liu Chu was so courageous that he didn't even bring Gu Qiang to the prison where the Sixth Department belonged. Instead, he took Gu Qiang to the prison. The son was imprisoned in an unknown prison somewhere. If he was in a prison in the Sixth Department, he would have the right to interrogate the person. It seemed that Liu Chu knew this in his heart and deliberately chose to take the person away when he was not there.
"It's okay, young master. I just asked Qianqiu to follow him. As long as we contact Qianqiu, we will know exactly where the master is now."
Fortunately, Shi Yi was more cautious in doing things. Although Gu Qiang had just told him not to act rashly, he still asked Qian Qiu to follow him. Fortunately, he had such an idea, otherwise he would not be able to find Qian'er at this time. I'm afraid I'll be anxious again.
After Gu Huaian learned about this matter, he did not dare to delay. The person who took Gu Qiang away this time was the Minister of the Ministry of War. Because of his special status, he could indeed set up a private prison under his own hands, but he had no way to do so without permission. To break into their family's prison, all that can be done now is to threaten Liu Chu and never let him do anything to his sister.
Gu Huaian hurried to the residence of the Minister of War, but Liu Chu gave him a slap on the wrist.
"Didn't you tell your master that the Minister of Rites came to see you?"
Gu Huaian felt that the attitude of the two guards at the door of the Ministry of War was very different. After all, he was also a court official and had never been punished. How come it was the turn of the guards at the door to blow their beards and stare at him
"Master Gu, my master has already said that he will not see any guests today. Also, he asked his subordinates to tell you that there are some things that have nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites. Please ask the Ministry of Rites not to interfere."
Gu Huaian was rejected at Liu Chu's door, and he almost pulled out the sword from Eleven's waist and stabbed the two soldiers, but Eleven was relatively calm and stopped Gu Huaian.
