Those people had been sitting there without moving at all. It was obvious at a glance who they were sent to keep an eye on. For the sake of safety, how could Gu Qiang put a stall of a charlatan there? I could only walk over by myself, pretending to sigh at that position, and prepared to continue walking forward with a limp. Sure enough, when I reached a corner, my head was covered by several people.
"This knight dares to ask where to get rich? Is it money, or something else?"
After the rich people in Kyoto are kidnapped, most of them will ask this question first. Gu Qiang naturally cannot reveal that she has known their origins for a long time, and treats them as bandits, which may make them relax their vigilance even more. .
"Be honest, stop talking, and leave."
As expected, those people fell into the trap and walked forward with Gu Qiang, pushing and pushing them as if they were thrown into a carriage. However, due to the lightness of Gu Huai'an and Shi Yi, it would be difficult for them to catch up with the carriage. It's not difficult.
As soon as he took off his blindfold, Gu Qiang found that he was back in a familiar place. The place where he was imprisoned last time was almost exactly the same. It seemed that it was not that room, or it could only be the one next to it.
"Sir, we have caught the person you are talking about. He is lame and wearing green clothes. He happened to pass by that stall and looked thin and frail."
After Ms. Liu was locked up, this was the only information she could provide. How could Liu Chu let Ms. Liu squat there? He could only follow her description and let his men hide there. People like charlatans were extremely poor and should change their clothes less. Liu Chu inferred from this perspective that the charlatan would definitely come again. Show up there.
The line on the Lingyin Pavilion had been cut off, and Shen Zhongbai meant that he could no longer offend the Lingyin Pavilion, not to mention that the young master in the Lingyin Pavilion had a token sent by the emperor himself. Even if he looked down on Lingyin Pavilion, he couldn't look down on the emperor's token. If he wanted to investigate Lingyin Pavilion, he could only give up temporarily. But this time, he didn't expect that he would really find this charlatan.
"Then why don't you take me there quickly?"
When he came to the humid dungeon again, Gu Qiang was not as scared as the last time. When Liu Chu came over after a while, he probably didn't recognize his face. After all, he had been beaten by someone before.
"Master Liu, the last time the emperor told you that you knew very well that I have the emperor's token on me. If you let your people arrest me and put me on death row in your home for no reason next time, I really want to tell you. The emperor is here."
Liu Chu never thought that the person his men captured this time was Gu Su Ran. This Gu Su Ran was unlucky. It was true that he sent someone to beat him last time, and his legs and feet were still weak. It was natural, but why was it like this? Coincidentally, he happened to be wearing the same clothes as the charlatan that day, and he also passed by that stall
"Last time you said I had no evidence, what about this time? Why are you wearing almost the same clothes as that charlatan? And why are you lingering in front of that man's stall?"
Although Liu Chu is a military general, he is not stupid. He does not believe in groundless rumors or accidents? Since all the clues pointed to him both times, how could I let him go
"Mr. Liu, what place are you talking about? After I went out today, I just stayed on the roadside for a while, and then I was caught by your men. I didn't even have time to react. Could it be that I was still on the road? What did Bian do to make you misunderstand that I did something I shouldn’t have done?”
What Gu Qiang has to do now is to anger Liu Chu. Liu Chu doesn't dare to attack him easily, so he can only endure it if he is angry.
"If you plead guilty, you might be able to ask the emperor to let you live. After all, you still have a token in your hand. If you don't plead guilty, don't blame me for being punished."
"Master Liu didn't fight enough last time. Master Liu was demoted from the Minister of War to the Minister of War last time. Do you want to be demoted to a civilian this time? The emperor has also said that without evidence, you can't make a fuss out of thin air. If this matter reaches the ears of the Emperor again, wouldn’t all the trust Mr. Liu has in front of the Emperor be lost? "
Liu Chu was told by the people in front of him that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, but what Gu Suran said did make sense. Even his own men said that he was dressed in the same way as the charlatan that day, and even appeared in the same place. place, this is not conclusive evidence, but the person in front of him seems to have forgotten that he has a person in his hands who has seen the charlatan with his own eyes.
"Go to Madam Liu's yard, bring Madam Liu over, and ask her to identify whether the person who gave him the talisman that day is this person."
Liu Chu naturally did not dare to execute her until he was sure, but what was certain was that the injuries on Gu Qiang were indeed from his last blow. This lame charlatan was probably not him, but Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If it were really him, wouldn't he just let the prisoner go casually
Liu Chu turned his head and looked at Gu Qiang who was lying on the ground, "Mr. Gusu, please rest assured that I will not torture you until I get the exact evidence this time. I am just interrogating the prisoner. Even if Even if I report it to the emperor, the emperor will not punish me."
"The common people would like to ask Mr. Liu, on what basis do you rely on to arrest me?"
"Mrs. Liu's men and Mrs. Liu herself have admitted that the charlatan that day was wearing a green gown and set up a stall near the Lingyin Pavilion. How could it be such a coincidence? What my Mrs. Liu said All the words correspond so closely to Mr. Gusu. Last time I was making unreasonable inferences without evidence, but this time I am not."
"Mr. Liu, you must have forgotten that the injury on your lower leg was a gift from Mr. Liu. Before that, when Mr. Liu's wife went out on the street, I was still in good health."
Seeing that Liu Chu was about to take the bait, Gu Qiang wanted to provoke him even more. Calculating the time, her brother should be here soon. At this time, she couldn't let Liu Chu have it easy.
"Whether he is Mr. Gusu or not, we will know naturally when my wife comes over and takes a look."
Just a short while after Gu Qiang and the others went out, Chu Junyou also came to Lingyin Pavilion. The purpose was for no other reason than to follow Shen Zhongbai's order and come over to see how Gu Qiang's body was recovering. However, Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I met the black-faced god Feng Yao. It seemed that he really disliked me, and I didn't know why. I had never offended him.
"Um... I wonder if it would be convenient for me to meet the second young master of the Gusu family?"
"It's inconvenient. He just went out and won't be back until night."
Feng Yao still had a cold and indifferent attitude, but now that Chu Junyou was here, he might be able to take advantage of it. He could also help them pass a message to Shen Zhongbai, which would save them a lot of trouble.
"Really? That's not the time to come down."
Just when Chu Junyou was about to go out, Gu Huaian suddenly ran in. Under Shen Qianshan's eyes, he naturally did not ignore Chu Junyou who was about to go out.
"Aran was taken away again. This Liu Chu has gone too far. Even though he was demoted to the rank of Minister of War, he still hasn't restrained himself. You go with me. This time, you must have a good argument with him."
Gu Huaian's face was full of worry, and of course he was also anxious. After all, after being arrested and sent to the death row of the Ministry of War, he couldn't see what was going on with his sister. How could he not be anxious
"Okay, don't worry, I'll pack up and go with you."
Gu Huaian turned around, as if he had just seen Chu Junyou, "Mr. Chu, I'm so sorry, the two of us have important things to deal with now. If you want to eat and drink at Lingyin Pavilion, the account will be recorded at It's all about my head. We have things to do now, so we can't entertain you."
Chu Junyou obviously hasn't figured out what happened. It seems like something terrible has happened. It's really not appropriate for him to stay here. He should go back to the lake area first and put this place to rest. It would be better if we tell Chengdu everything about our situation.
"You two don't have to be polite. In that case, I will go back first."
Gu Huaian took Gu Suran's token and went to Liu Chu's house first. After all, he didn't have his things in his hands. If everyone delayed for one more second, Qian'er might have an accident. He should have gone early. One o'clock passed.
But now that Chu Junyou has arrived and Liu Chu has arrested Gu Qiang, Shen Zhongbai will definitely be able to get the news from Chu Junyou. As long as the news reaches Shen Zhongbai's ears, he will have achieved the desired effect. .
"Answer, Mrs. Liu has been brought here. Take a look..." The guards around Liu Chu were also a little embarrassed. Mrs. Liu had been locked in that room for too long, and the current situation did seem a bit indecent. He looked so disheveled, not to mention there were other people nearby.
"How did it get like this?" Although Liu Chu frowned, he didn't forget what he was doing now. The most important thing now was actually whether the person in front of him was telling his fortune at that time. He was the one who provided the talisman.
"Ms. Liu, take a closer look. Did the person in front of you give you those talismans that curse others that day?"
Liu Chu could indeed see that the deceased's mental state was no longer very good, and he seemed to be in a state of confusion. For a moment, he didn't even know what to do.
