"Then why did you flee?"
After Gu Shubai's words fell, the room was silent, and Baibu Yang's eyes were clouded with gray.
He seemed to be thinking of something unbearable in the past, gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "I got the one thousand taels of silver as promised, and came back to reward Brother Yun. Suddenly I heard about the assassination in the paddock, and the second prince has been detained. At that time, Brother Yun said this Things are not good, so I quickly packed up and left, and walked out of the courtyard..."
"The alley outside the courtyard is densely packed, and there are at least fifty masters fighting towards us with cold blades in their hands."
Although Baibu Yang and Qianliyun are masters of the rivers and lakes, one can imagine the danger of facing fifty well-trained killers.
He caressed the scar on his cheek, "This scar was injured by the killer's blade at that time. Fortunately, brother Yun was there, otherwise I would not have been cut on the cheek, but on the head."
Qian Liyun said: "At that time, I saw that brother Yang was defeated alone, so I simply ran away with him. It's a pity that the two of us are poor, and we only have one horse with us, so we couldn't escape the killer. In a hurry, we hid in a farm. I think the killer will definitely search far away, and I didn't expect us to dare to hide in a farm so close to the imperial capital."
"We did escape safely for a few days, but it's a pity that the imperial power is so powerful that there is no king in the world, and we were still discovered."
When Qian Liyun said this, he stood up and clasped his fists at the crowd, "My two brothers thank you, my son, for saving me, and thank you Lord Hou for taking me in. I will never forget the kindness of saving my life!"
Before everyone could speak, Baibu Yang suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to everyone.
"Master Gu, son. I know that I am an accomplice to killing the king, and I dare not defend myself, nor dare I ask for a pardon for my crime. But brother Yun is innocent. He just provided me with a place of residence out of a friend's morality. He has no knowledge of the inside story. Please Gu Houye be clear, this matter should be borne by the next one, it has nothing to do with Brother Yun!"
"Brother Yang, you..."
Qianli Yun said anxiously: "Why do you have to leave me alone? You and I met in the rivers and lakes, we became friends at a young age, and shared life and death together. Naturally, you and I will bear such a big event together!"
Baibu Yang said: "Brother Yun, stop talking! Lord Gu, as long as you can guarantee the safety of Brother Yun, I am willing to tell you everything you know. I know you want to find out the truth about His Majesty's murder. Although the people who came looking for me did not reveal their identities, I can recognize their characteristics!"
Gu Huaijiang only spoke when he heard this moment, "You two don't have to worry, the killer intends to kill you, and it is the safest choice for you to stay in Guhou's mansion. As long as you can help investigate the case and find the real culprit who assassinated His Majesty, you can make up for it However, this Marquis will protect your two lives."
The eyes of the two suddenly burst out with joy, "Master Hou is serious?"
"Benhou never tells lies."
Qian Liyun cupped his hands and said: "Although I am a savage in the Jianghu, I have heard of Gu Houye's reputation after living in the imperial capital for a long time. Gu Houye is a pillar of the court and a hero who guards the land. This thorough investigation of the case of His Majesty's murder is even more dedicated. We wait You can trust Lord Hou!"
He hurriedly said to Baibu Yang: "Brother Yang, tell me what you know!"
Baibu Yang nodded, "Okay, let me tell you. When those people came to see me, everyone was wearing official soap boots, and they said they wanted me to teach the nobles. Although I promised a thousand taels of silver Tempted, but not a stunned young man, casually accepting tasks from strangers. I followed them back secretly, and found that they disappeared around the First Prince's Mansion. At that time, I thought that the person they wanted me to teach was the First Prince .”
Gu Shubai frowned and said, "You mean, those who are the First Prince?"
Baibu Yang said with certainty: "Yes. They still have the badges of the Great Prince's Mansion on them. Although they are well hidden, they still missed a loophole on the way back, and I saw it clearly."
It turned out that the characteristic he was talking about was this waist card.
Gu Shubai did not answer for a long time, Gu Hanmo said: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Fu knew what Gu Shubai was thinking, she said: "Third Brother, when Eldest Brother and I went to see the Second Prince in the prison of the Clan Mansion, he said that Yin Shuo had recommended Baibu Yang to him. But now Baibu Yang said that the First Prince's people went to look for him, isn't that contradictory?"
"No, it's actually not contradictory."
Gu Shubai suddenly understood something, "The First Prince's people found out that Baibu Yang, a master archer, was in the imperial capital. He wanted to trick the Second Prince into looking for Baibu Yang, so he asked Yin Shuo to come forward and speak. As the second prince's brother-in-law, the second prince will naturally believe him a little bit, and this matter will be better accomplished."
Gu Hanmo also felt reasonable, "It seems that this matter is still led by the eldest prince, and Yin Shuo took the opportunity to act as an accomplice to achieve his goal."
Gu Huaijiang waved his hand, "Which of the two of them is the mastermind and who is the accomplice remains to be investigated. We already have witnesses, and now the most important thing is physical evidence. Baibuyang, the lotus arrow is also what you said has the waist of the eldest prince's mansion." Did the card holder give it to you?"
Baibu Yang cupped his hands and said: "They gave it to me. But it was not given when I first met me, but when I left the second prince's mansion on the first day. I think they thought that after I taught the second prince , you will definitely understand that the second prince has no talent in martial arts, and he can't learn it well at all, then I will accept it if you give me the lotus arrow."
Gu Huaijiang stood up from his seat, and everyone stood up together.
He said: "The two of you stay in the Hou's mansion and don't go anywhere, let the guards in the mansion protect the two of them, and prevent the other party from rushing into the mansion to assassinate. This case will be solved soon, and now there is only one thing missing. "
"what?"
Qi An suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard and said: "Master Hou, Lin Shaoqing from the Investigation Bureau of Dali Temple has invited Master Hou to talk about something important."
The corner of Gu Huaijiang's mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile.
He had never smiled since he knew His Majesty had passed away, so it was rare for him to smile today, and everyone was very surprised.
Could it be that what he said is in Lin Shaoqing's hands
…
"What? How could people be robbed? Who robbed them?"
The eldest prince was furious, and the most important witness, Baibu Yang, was robbed, just like taking off the last layer of cotton clothes on him.
He was trembling all over, so naked, it seemed that anyone could stab him.
His subordinates had scars all over their body, and reported back with swollen eyes: "Who else can report to the eldest prince? Apart from the people from Guhou's mansion, who else would dare to oppose the first prince's mansion now?"
"Gu Huaijiang, it's Gu Huaijiang again! When this prince sits on the dragon seat, he will be the first to chop off his head!"
The first prince smashed all the objects on the table to the ground, and the sound of shattering porcelain scared all the maids serving in the corridor to their knees, trembling.
He scolded angrily: "Does he really want to get Ning Chengzhi out of prison to inherit the throne? Is there anything I can't compare to that idiot? Except that I don't have a good mother with a noble background, how can I not compare to him?! He Do you think Ning Chengzhi will be a wise king? Impossible!"
Bearing his anger, the subordinates thought over and over again: "Your Highness, don't be angry, the most urgent thing is to discuss a countermeasure with Prime Minister Yin. If Gu Houye uses Baibu Yang as an adult certificate in front of the courtiers, it will be very detrimental to His Highness." ah!"
"Hmph, Yin Shuo has become more and more incapable of handling things recently. He couldn't keep Danyang under control, and even his own sister ran away! I didn't think so before, but the more I look at him now, the more useless he becomes!"
The eldest prince complained, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he was. In the end, he still sent someone to the prime minister's mansion, "Come on, go to the prime minister's mansion and ask Prime Minister Yin to come over, and say that the prince has something important to discuss with him!"
"Your Highness, do you think Lord Gu will keep Baibu Yang and his wife in the mansion?"
"How does this prince know?!"
The eldest prince growled impatiently, and suddenly understood the meaning of his subordinates, "You mean, you can't silence them in the farm outside the city, so you want to silence them in the city?"
He frowned again, "How is it possible? Gu's army is all elite, you can't succeed outside the city, there are Gu's troops patrolling the streets and alleys in the city, you can do it?"
The subordinate said: "We can't, we can ask Prime Minister Yin to send someone to help! Even if we risk our lives, we will kill Baibu Yang and the two, keeping them is a great harm to His Highness!"
The eldest prince said happily: "Okay! When Yin Shuo comes, I will tell him immediately. Now you send someone to watch outside Guhou's mansion. If you see Baibu Yang and the others coming out, immediately follow up and report back!"
In the prime minister's mansion, Yin Shuo got the news that Baibu Yang and his two were kidnapped almost at the same time.
He nodded with a smile, "It's really quick, Gu Shubai's actions are really quick and neat, no wonder Gu Huaijiang relies on him so much."
The servant stood by the door, "Eldest Young Master, the Eldest Prince invites you to the mansion, are you going?"
Yin Shuo got up with a smile, straightened his clothes, "I've been ready to go out for a long time, but—not to the First Prince's Mansion."
