Shaoqing of Dali Temple passed Zhao Qiuming and Gu Chen in his mind, Zhao Xiangzheng was out of luck, and Gu Shuai just had an extra 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. If he must offend one person, that person can only be Zhao Xiang. Lord.
"Master Guan, have you made up your mind?" Gu Xinglang asked, with a faint anger in his voice.
"Gu Zhuangren is in Tianjing," Shaoqing of Dali Temple could only say to Gu Xinglang, "Does the concubine want to pick up the person in person?"
Gu Xinglang looked at Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple said: "The guards of the concubine can send you to the Heavenly Prison." Shaoqing of Dali Temple felt that he could no longer give in, so Gu Xinglang personally went to pick up people from the Heavenly Prison and followed him to send them to Gu Xing In Lang's hands, this will be a different matter in the future. When he sent someone off, that is, he admitted that Zhao Qiuming and Dali Siqing had arrested the wrong person, so he ordered the release, and Gu Xinglang went to the prison to pick him up. Can a fourth-rank criminal officer wrestle his arms with a third-rank general, the consort of the dynasty? This is powerlessness, not his fault.
"Someone," Gu Xinglang rushed out the door.
Several guards specially called by Jing Mo's subordinates from Gu's residence walked into the side hall, with their hands on their waist knives, all of them looking menacing.
"Let's go to the Heavenly Prison," Gu Xinglang said.
The two guards answered yes, and stepped forward to lift the reclining chair where Gu Xinglang was sitting.
The others were still staring at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. They heard the nonsense that the old boy said to the third young master just now. From the guards' hearing, this man was trying to make things difficult for the third young master.
"Thank you, Lord Guan," Gu Xinglang said thanks to Shaoqing of Dali Temple when he was about to leave. Although his expression and voice were stiff, his etiquette was not bad.
Dali Temple Shaoqing wanted to return the salute to Gu Xinglang.
The two guards who carried the reclining chair didn't seem to see Lord Guan get up, so they quickly carried Gu Xinglang and walked out. This is also in the capital. If this is in the army, who would dare to talk so much nonsense to the third young master? The guards stared fiercely at Shaoqing of Dali Temple. In fact, they were very uncomfortable. They had had enough of the feeling of being bullied by dogs in the past year.
"Third Young Master, shall we go directly to the Heavenly Prison?" After leaving the side hall, a guard asked Gu Xinglang.
"Well," Gu Xinglang said, "Hurry up and pick up Xiaozhuang, we still have things to do."
"Yes." Several guards responded to Gu Xinglang and walked along the long corridor to the Heavenly Prison.
In a flower stand outside the corridor, when Gu Xinglang passed by, there was a whimper that sounded like the wind, but was more mournful than the wind. Gu Xinglang was busy looking sideways at the flower terrace, but the voice stopped abruptly. With the light behind his back, Gu Xinglang could only see a clump of dwarf bamboos that had withered and yellowed branches and leaves, but grew densely.
"Third Young Master?" The guard walking beside Gu Xinglang asked quickly when he saw Gu Xinglang staring at the flower terrace.
At this moment, a raccoon cat sprang out of the flower stand and ran out of the courtyard as if it were escaping for its life.
It turned out to be a cat, Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "It's alright, let's go to the Heavenly Prison."
The guards continued on their way.
In the night, neither Gu Xinglang nor the guards saw that the raccoon cat that escaped left a trail of blood. This was an injured cat.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple sat in the side hall and walked out of the side hall after listening to the footsteps of Gu Xinglang and his group.
Several yamen officers from Dali Temple gathered around together, and one of them said, "Master Guan, are you just letting the concubine take people away?"
Shaoqing of Dali Temple said: "That is the bodyguard beside the princess. The concubine must take people away, and this official can't do anything about it."
"Where is your lord?"
Dali Temple Shaoqing shook his head and sighed.
The eldest one of the class heads said, "Sir, that person is the princess' bodyguard, who are the man and woman who were arrested with him? Are they all from the princess? A palace servant with a good appearance to serve you?"
Dali Temple Shaoqing smiled bitterly: "I also asked the concubine, and he said he didn't know."
"I don't know?" a class leader called out: "These three people stayed together, and the concubine didn't know, so he sent us away?"
"Okay," Shaoqing of Dali Temple waved his hand at the head of the yamen class and said, "Your Excellency is now unable to protect himself. This matter is asked by the sage or the peak, let's talk about it."
"What if no one asks?"
Shaoqing of Dali Temple sighed: "Then let's pretend this never happened."
A gust of wind whistled from west to east, shaking the two lanterns under the corridor violently. The swaying light and shadow mixed with the pale moonlight, creating various strange and twisted black shadows in the corridor and courtyard.
With the strong autumn wind, a bloody smell also entered the noses of these people who were very familiar with the smell of blood.
"Who?" Several yamen officers drew their knives almost at the same time.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple carefully sniffed the smell of blood blown by the wind, pointed his finger to the flower terrace with dwarf bamboo growing under the corridor, and said, "There."
A few class leaders ran to the flower stand, shouting loudly at first, and seeing that the people inside didn't respond, they used their knives to chop up the staggered dwarf bamboo bushes.
"Woo-"
A whimper came from among the dwarf bamboo bushes.
Several yamen officers, including the Dali Temple Shaoqing standing under the corridor, were all taken aback by the sound. This sound did not sound like a human voice. What wild things did they enter in Dali Temple
"What, come out!" A squad leader slashed at the direction where the sound came from with a knife.
One hand reached out from the dwarf bamboo bushes and grabbed the knife of the head of the class.
Seeing that it was manned, several class leaders shouted loudly to let the people hiding in the dwarf bamboo bushes come out.
"Something's wrong!" The head of the yamen clerk who was grabbed by the knife screamed at this moment.
A thin person stood up from the dwarf bamboo at this time. As this person stood, the smell of blood was so strong that it almost made the people in Dali Temple who had seen human blood nauseous.
"Ghost!" The head of the yamen, who was facing this man, immediately exclaimed.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple turned around and wanted to escape, but his legs were weak and he fell into the corridor.
Several yamen guards with martial arts skills all collapsed near the flowerbed in a moment, their bodies were mutilated, their stomachs were ruptured, and their internal organs were exposed, as if they had been bitten and gnawed by a fierce beast.
Dali Temple Shaoqing crawled on the ground and shouted for help, but a black shadow reflected on the ground covered the back of Dali Temple Shaoqing's hand in the blink of an eye. Shaoqing of Dali Temple turned around, and the man standing behind him was tall but skinny. It was a human being, but rather a skeleton wrapped in human skin. The skeleton had its mouth wide open, and blood was splattered between its lips and teeth. Shaoqing of Dali Temple was hot, and in shock, Master Guan became incontinent.
"You, what are you, who are you?!" After exhausting all his strength, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple shouted at the man.
The man still screamed "woo", and both feet stepped on Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the smell of carrion spread into Shaoqing's nose.
