"Sir, in this situation, the master is still waiting for us to rescue him. We should solve these things after we have successfully rescued her."
After listening to Shi Yi's words, Gu Huaian reluctantly calmed down, but the situation was already obvious. Liu Chu didn't want him to see his sister. Even if he brought all his people, he might not be able to. If it is worth the strength of the Ministry of War, this matter cannot be solved this way.
When Liu Chu brought Gu Qiang back to his house, he did not hide from other people, so Su Jin, who had just gone out, saw him at a glance. Because after all, he was someone he had met before, so Gu Qiang inevitably took a second look. Su Jin He is also a smart person. Even if a person can disguise himself, his eyes cannot change. Su Jin felt that those eyes were familiar at first, but then he realized that the person the master brought back this time, It was the female doctor who helped me last time.
Su Jin knew in his heart that if this female doctor told everything about what she did at that time, she would definitely not be able to escape her involvement. However, looking at her now dressed in men's clothing, if she was not a normal person, she would not recognize her. After finding out about their relationship, I didn't know what the female doctor wanted to do now, which made me feel a little panicked. ah,
"Master, have you confirmed that this person was the mastermind behind those two people at that time? But wasn't he the same consort before? What reason did he have to do such a thing? Didn't he also reject the royal marriage? ?”
Liu Chu's housekeeper didn't quite understand what was going on, but he had seen some of the world with his master. This time, the person the master brought back was indeed the person Shen Zhongbai wanted to give, Si Yin. The husband introduced by the princess.
If I remember correctly, the master should have taken action at that time and wanted to win over him. After all, the man in front of him had indeed been a quasi-consort for a long time.
Even if the engagement has been terminated now, it doesn't mean that this person is something they can afford to offend. After all, he is also the largest merchant in the capital. When the housekeeper saw this posture, he quickly wanted to remind his master, but the master didn't seem to have the least bit of trouble. He looked concerned, and was even very rude to the former consort, and was immediately thrown into the dungeon.
"Don't worry about this. Not to mention that he is no longer the consort. Even if he is the consort and does something that insults the royal family, the emperor will not let him go even if he really knows about it." The steward. After hearing this, although I was still a little worried, after all, I was just a servant, so I just had to listen to the master and it was not my turn to worry about other things.
Su Jin hid quietly outside the door. His original intention was to see what the situation was, so he secretly listened at the door, but he did not expect to hear the two of them talking about such an important matter.
"Furthermore, he had already offended the emperor when he broke off the engagement. You see so many things happened in Lingyin Pavilion later. Did the emperor mention it again? What's more, I didn't arrest him without any evidence. Looking at him, am I saying that the female doctor and the charlatan were all found near Lingyin Pavilion? There is only such a big place around, and the emperor has been staring at it. These two things have nothing to do with Lingyin Pavilion. Is it relevant? Besides, the emperor asked me to find out the real culprit within ten days, but now he has been trapped by the princess's affairs for so long. Even if I find someone to take the blame, the emperor has no intention of taking care of it. "
"Master, you mean that you don't know whether the former consort did these things, right?" The old housekeeper obviously understood what he meant. It seems that Gu Suran is just a scapegoat. That’s all.
"Yes, that's right, but as for this matter, as long as you don't say it, and I don't say it, since this crime has been placed on him, is it possible that he still has some excuse? He is no longer the consort, and the emperor should also Leave him alone."
"The master is right, but he still has to keep this matter a secret. Isn't there the Master of the Ministry of Rites beside Mr. Gusu?"
"What's the matter? Didn't Gu Huai'an do something to offend the emperor before? Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have given him the right to co-ordinate the six ministries and then took it back. When he came to me just now, didn't he? Have you been blocked by me? What we have to do now is to make that guy unable to bear the punishment of our criminal law and admit that he did both of these things, and we will be safe. "
Liu Chu had already arranged for his men to try out all kinds of punishments in the Ministry of War. It seemed that Gu Suran was already weak and he didn't know how long he could hold on.
After Su Jin heard the news outside the door, he obviously didn't dare to believe his ears. He originally thought that his affairs would be exposed because of this person, but he didn't expect that this person was actually caught by the master. A scapegoat, and he is also the second young master of Lingyin Pavilion.
In fact, if you say this, you shouldn't care about anything anymore, but you have to. After helping yourself before, you should still help him.
Su Jin is not bad in the first place, what's more, she actually just wants to live peacefully in this house, and does not want to hurt anyone. If Mrs. Liu had not intended to harm herself at that time, she would not have ended up like that, so In the final analysis, I can't blame myself for one thing, but now that I see Gu Suran in this state, I still want to help her inexplicably.
Su Jin secretly went to the dungeon when no one was around. The young man who was caught in the meantime had already been whipped into shape. The punishments of the Ministry of War were different. They were always selective when they beat people. They beat them on all four limbs. They knew clearly that there was less flesh there and the beating was particularly painful, but they had no intention of letting them go. Gu Qiang was beaten until she almost breathed her last breath, but she still insisted and refused to admit the so-called crime.
is not that right? Who would be willing to be accused of such a crime out of nowhere? However, Su Jin could see clearly that the person in front of him should be the mysterious female doctor who had been by his side at that time. In the final analysis, he did not accuse her unjustly, but the master's intention was to make him a scapegoat. , there is no way to hide even if you want to.
"Hey, are you okay? Are you still alive?" Su Jin stepped forward and asked subconsciously.
It's just that Gu Qiang almost didn't have any strength to open her eyes, but luckily, before she left to explain the matter, Eleven left the soft armor he had been wearing to herself, but who would have thought that this Liu Chu Dao is also a cruel person, and he actually beat him on all four limbs. However, the way he is now, his skin and flesh are injured, and his spleen is not injured. He can still survive, but he doesn't know how long he can last.
"Who are you?"
Gu Qiang actually recognized the person at a glance as Su Jin, but in his current situation, he had taken advantage of her at the time, so it would be better not to drag her down now.
"Do you really not know me?"
Gu Qiang shook her head with all her strength, "Girl, I really don't know you, but in this situation, you'd better not come over, lest your master think you are my accomplice."
Gu Qiang smiled bitterly. To be honest, the fact that Su Jin came to this place to see him probably meant that Su Jin recognized him. She originally only knew that Su Jin was a smart person, but she never thought that she was smarter than she thought. He is so much smarter that he can recognize his true identity with just a pair of eyes.
"It's a good thing that you don't know me, but I still have to tell you something. The master didn't want you to admit this matter in the first place. He just wanted to find a random person to take the blame. If you are outside If you know any friends, do you need me to notify them to come and save you?"
Su Jin also knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person. When he heard Liu Chu speak just now, he had already heard it. Now the person imprisoned here knew Gu Huaian, the Minister of Rites, and she had already known that this Lingyin The shopkeeper of the pavilion is actually not an ordinary person.
"It's true." Gu Qiang sighed helplessly. In fact, he already knew it. From the beginning to now, except for the location where the two mysterious people appeared, there was almost nothing he did. Loophole, until now I have not figured out why Liu Chu knew that this matter was related to him recently.
It seems that these are not important now. He is just because no one can take the blame for him. He is afraid that he cannot find someone who can take the blame within the time specified by Shen Zhongbai, so he takes the one with the greatest suspicion. Just do it yourself.
"If you want to help me, please ask someone to go to Lingyin Pavilion and tell Mr. Gu what you just heard. Mr. Gu will definitely think of a way to save me."
"Is Mr. Gu the same Mr. Gu who was driven away by my master just now? It seemed that he had been here just now, but he was driven away after a few words by my master, saying that he was a member of the Ministry of Rites and had no right to intervene. Are you sure he can help you with other people's affairs?" Gu Qiang never thought that Liu Chu would have such a skill. It seems that he was determined to take the blame on himself.
"It doesn't matter. Help me tell Mr. Gu what I just said. If you have those words, Mr. Gu should be able to save me."
Gu Qiang knew very well that Shen Qianshan still didn't know when he would come back, and the only one who could help him was his brother.
