"May I ask what exactly happened? Why did General Pei come to the Nine Princes' Mansion in person?"
Gu Qiang looked at the unkind appearance of the person in front of her and quickly grabbed Gu Huai'an, who was on the side. Gu Huai'an, on the other hand, was firm and composed, as if it was a normal thing, he put on the coat he had put aside and pushed it away. The door came out.
"Master Gu, I'm sorry. Today I came to arrest you on the emperor's order. There is an imperial edict from the emperor here."
Pei Jie is indeed not a good person. At least when he held the imperial edict in his hand, he didn't think about saving any face for the people in front of him. What's more, the edict was written clearly. Gu Huaian was a loser this time. It's a big deal, murdering the emperor is not an ordinary matter.
"Since Mr. Pei has an imperial edict in his hand, please tell Mr. Pei what crime I have committed. Could you please come and arrest me personally?"
Gu Huaian looked at the driver, and he had already made a guess in his mind. During the recent period, there had been no movement in the palace. Maybe there was something really wrong, but they couldn't find any evidence to prove it. Even if he was convicted, he still had to stay calm, and at least not let them discover anything was wrong first.
"I wonder if such a big crime of murdering the emperor is enough?" Pei Jie felt a little dissatisfied. If he had been an ordinary person and held the imperial edict in his hand, he would have arrested someone long ago, but he didn't The man in front of him remained calm, as if he, the person with the evidence, had lost his mind.
"Master Pei, in the absence of evidence, I advise you not to say such things easily. Is it already written in the emperor's imperial edict that the evidence is conclusive that I am planning to murder the emperor?"
Gu Huaian acted very calm, but Gu Qiang on the side had already started to panic. Who knows what happened during this period, and no one can say what will happen. In this case , how dare she act rashly? Could it be that Shen Qiangwei in the palace suddenly changed her mind and confessed all of them
But if this is really the case, the man who is showing off his power in front of me today should not be the only one who came to arrest his brother. Why did he come here to arrest him
"I don't have evidence, but that doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't have evidence. Since it's already been announced at the train station, let me go there to go to the prison. If you have any grievances, he can ask the prince to appeal for you."
After Pei Jie took part of the military power in his hands, he actually began to become more and more arrogant. Although he didn't know why the emperor suddenly believed in him so much, the person who held the military power was different. At least he looked down on him before. In front of those people of his own, he was quite impressive.
"If this is the case, then I will go there with you, and take a look at what kind of evidence there is to prove that I am plotting to murder the emperor."
Gu Qiang couldn't see any emotional fluctuations on Gu Huaian's face at all, and he didn't know whether the current situation was something they had discussed in advance, but it was obvious that the person in front of him was here to cause trouble today, but he himself He is a commoner without identity. He can't say anything at this time. At most, he can only help inform the news. The most important thing now is to find someone to tell Shen Qianshan about this matter as soon as possible.
Gu Huaian was taken away by Pei Jie like this. Although he held the imperial edict in his hand, no one saw what was written in the edict from the beginning to the end. Gu Qiang could be regarded as keeping an eye on it. , asking Qi Bai to follow him secretly, at least to prove that Pei Jie really took his brother to the sky prison, instead of just locking him up in some other place.
Gu Qiang didn't have time to arrange anything, so he put down the things in his hands and rushed out. At this time, Shen Qianshan should still be arranging some accommodation for Modo and the others in Lingyin Pavilion. Although he was anxious about this matter , but there is no need to worry about my brother's matter. Once something like this is caught, all of them will capsize together if they suffer losses.
Shen Qianshan was actually startled when he saw Gu Qiang running over in a hurry. At this time, Modo and Shen Qianshan were standing in the hall, thinking about how big a place should be arranged for them to have activities. , Gu Qiang didn't feel at all calm after experiencing such a scene just now, and he quickly wanted to grab Shen Qianshan's sleeve and run out.
Although Shen Qianshan didn't know what happened, but when he saw Gu Qiang's panicked look, he knew in his heart that something must have happened that they couldn't solve, so they became so anxious. Although Modo also felt a little inexplicable, he could also see that they must have encountered some difficult problem that's why they were so anxious. Shen Qianshan had helped him so much now, and he was not good at it. What happened to such a trivial matter? Gusu Liang had quick eyes and quick hands. When he saw Gu Qiang coming in, he didn't look for him, but went straight to drag Shen Qianshan. This meant that he probably couldn't help with this matter. Since they Now that the two of them have left, I have to deal with the things here.
"Sir, don't be anxious. Our prince should have some important matters to deal with. He will be back soon after finishing the matters over there. If you have any other specific requests, you can tell me now and I will be back. I will convey it to the prince in detail when the time comes."
Modo looked at the person in front of him up and down, frowned slightly, and didn't know what he was thinking. After all, Gusu Liang had dealt with him before, and for some reason, he always There was a feeling of fear that the person in front of him would recognize him, but he was afraid of what would happen. Modo looked Gusu Liang up and down for a while, and then slowly said, "Have you and I met somewhere before? Why did I see it?" "You look so familiar?" Although Modo is already in his forties, he still has a good memory. He will probably remember the people who have left a deep impression on him, but the person in front of him has been standing there since just now. Shen Qianshan seemed to be a little familiar with him, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"Many years ago, in foreign territory, I had a business relationship with my husband. Perhaps it was at that time that my husband remembered my appearance."
Gusu Liangya didn't say much. Modo still remembers his face, which means that the things he did at that time really left an impression on him, but now that he sees this result, he really I don't want the person in front of me to remember what happened between the two of them, and maybe everything will be messed up now.
"Is that so? No wonder." Modo didn't think much about it. After all, at this time, the most important thing is to deal with everyone's whereabouts. He is not that curious about other things. In front of his relatives This person has done business with me before, so he should know some of his rules, and I should feel more at ease when communicating with him.
"What happened? Why are you so anxious?" Shen Qianshan looked at the out-of-breath expressions of the people in front of him and had an idea in his mind. Something must have happened that they couldn't solve, but in front of him... The man was running so fast that he could hardly speak, and it was with great difficulty that he was replaced.
"My brother was captured by Pei Jie, saying he was plotting to kill the emperor. He still had Shen Zhongbai's imperial edict in his hand. I don't know what happened. But what I said at that time didn't count. I really had no other choice. There is no other way, so I can only run to you quickly."
After Gu Qiang finished saying this, he continued to breathe heavily. No one expected that such a thing would happen so suddenly, and they had clearly planned it at the time. Even if the incident really happened, it would not be just a matter of time. Leave your brother alone, right
"No, no, is there anything missing in what you just said?"
Shen Qianshan always felt that something was not quite right. He always felt that something was missing. They really thought about it several times and confirmed that there would not be any big problems before putting it into practice. The current result was something they had not thought of before.
Gu Qiang finally stabilized her emotions. After thinking about it carefully, she carefully repeated what Pei Jie said after entering the door. Under such circumstances, Gu Qiang's entire spirit was at a high level. Nervous, there should be nothing missing, and Gu Qiang can completely confirm that what he just said should be the fact of what just happened.
"Don't worry. There's a lot wrong with this matter. Have you sent anyone to follow them?" Shen Qianshan realized this matter belatedly. Although Pei Jie didn't have any deep grudges with them. , but it doesn't mean that he really won't frame them. Apart from anything else, at least now everyone must be sure that what Pei Jie is holding is a genuine imperial edict and not a prop to frame Gu Huai'an.
"I asked Qi Bai to follow them as soon as they left. If there was really any problem, he should have returned to the palace by now. We can confirm where my brother was taken when we go back now. "
