"Come on!"

Yin Shuo yelled, threw the dagger on the ground at the same time, and stepped back by himself.

The jailer outside heard the sound and rushed in, and saw Eunuch Chi lying in a pool of blood, he had long been silent.

"Gu Yi held a grudge against His Majesty, and actually killed Eunuch Chi, who came to see him off with good intentions! These villains should not be underestimated, and they will change if they are late. Hurry up and take them to the execution ground!"

Gu Yi pointed at Yin Shuo and cursed, "Yin Shuo, you killed the man, yet you blamed me! I am in prison, how can I kill Eunuch Chi standing outside the cell?"

The two insisted on their own words, and the jailers looked at this for a while and looked at that for a while, and couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.

Gu Xiang hurriedly said: "Don't be fooled by Yin Shuo, Eunuch Chi came to deliver an order to cancel today's beheading, it was Yin Shuo who had a grudge against my Marquis Gu's mansion that killed Eunuch Chi and pretended not to hear the order!"

The guards looked at Yin Shuo, who sneered, "Decree? Where is the decree?"

There was indeed no imperial decree next to Eunuch Chi's body, and what Gu Xiang said was oral, which made it difficult for the jailers to judge for a while.

Yin Shuo swept his eyebrows, "As the chief assistant of the court, I can't command you anymore, can I?"

"I don't dare to be humble!"

The jailers quickly lowered their heads, now who has the final say in the court, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and those who can compete with Yin Shuo, such as Mr. Ji, have already been dismissed from office.

The situation is stronger than people, even if Eunuch Chi was really killed by Yin Shuo, what can these little jailers do

Gu Huaijiang and others were escorted out of the prison. When they passed by Yin Shuo, Gu Huaijiang stood up. Everyone thought he was going to say something, but he suddenly stretched out his hand and clamped Yin Shuo's neck.

His movements were so quick that people forgot that he was still wearing heavy shackles.

"Master Gu!"

Before the jailer had time to draw his sword, Gu Huaijiang had already let go of his hand. Yin Shuo retreated in embarrassment and looked at him, only to hear Gu Huaijiang say: "This Marquis just wants to tell you that my disciples from the Marquis Gu's Mansion really want to kill people, so there is no need to sneak around. I The whole family of Gu Hou Mansion died not because of a crime, but because of being framed by traitors, if they really tried their best to survive, they could have rebelled back then."

He glanced at everyone indifferently, "Since there was no rebellion at the beginning, now no one is allowed to pour dirty water on my Gu Houfu."

With Gu Huaijiang's words, the balance in everyone's hearts suddenly tilted towards the people of Gu Hou's mansion, and they believed that Eunuch Chi was not killed by them.

Yin Shuo's face was frosty, "Take it away!"

Gu Jiuge said loudly to Yin Shuo: "To kill my father and son today, you did not hesitate to kill Eunuch Chi. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will no longer trust you because of this?"

Yin Shuo smiled cruelly, "Dead people can't speak, Your Majesty will never know the truth."

He pointed at the jailers, "Do you think they will speak for you? So what about you, you are so righteous and humble, and you are loved by others under your power. Now how many of those who love you will come to rescue you?"

He waved his hand coldly, the guards lowered their heads expressionlessly, and shut Gu Huaijiang and others into the prison van.

A row of six prison vans departed from the prison of Dali Temple and took them to Caishikou for beheading. There were crowds of people watching on the road, and one of the children sitting on the shoulders of an adult was particularly conspicuous.

Ji Chengfa patted his attendant on the head, and said angrily, "I knew Yin Shuo would not listen to Emperor Ning's will, did he want to rebel?"

The attendant who was slapped on the head looked innocent, and said patiently: "Rebellion is not enough, Emperor Ning's court cannot do without him. He is confident now, and when the time comes, he will use his three-inch tongue to defend himself. Fan, Emperor Ning won't do anything to him at all."

"Hmph, fortunately, my son is well prepared."

Ji Chengfa looked behind him, and there were some tall men standing here and there among the crowd. They were dressed in common people's clothes, and they bowed their heads inconspicuously in the crowd.

He already knew the martial arts level of the Dongling people through that martial arts competition, and he was really vulnerable. And the ones he brought are all the top experts in Beili, even if he can't stop Yin Shuo, these people can forcefully rob everyone in Guhou's residence.

"Huh."

Ji Chengfa sat high and looked far away, and suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd. The man was startled when he saw Ji Chengfa sitting on the shoulder of the lord, and slowly squeezed through the crowd to approach him.

"What is Mr. Ji here for?"

"What is Mr. Ning here for?"

Ning Xuan glanced at the crowd, and soon found those exceptionally tall people, and he knew it when he thought about it, "Mr. Ji, this is Chen Chuxiu, the old son of Chen Ge. What do you want to do count on us?" share."

Ji Chengfa curled his lips, stretched out his small hand and pointed in several directions in the crowd, "I'm afraid it's not just the two of you? Tell me, how many people do you have in total?"

Chen Chuxiu often heard Ning Xuan say that this kid was smart, and it was true when he saw it today, so he took his hand and made gestures in his palm twice.

Ji Chengfa's eyes lit up, "So many? You are all noble sons of Dong Ling, aren't you afraid of being beheaded if you do this kind of thing?"

If they could save everyone in Guhou's mansion by the right way, they would not be willing to take the risk.

Ning Xuan sighed helplessly, "Mr. Chen is a hero who is sad about the beauty pass, as for me... my wife is also sad about the beauty pass."

Yaoyue begged Chen Chuxiu hard, and Yin Jigui begged Kun Yuyang hard. If it wasn't for the five-month-old stomach, Kun Yuyang would have come to rob people in person.

Ning Xuan was determined not to let her take risks, so he discussed with Chen Chuxiu. The two had met many knight-errants while wandering in the flowers, and this time it finally came in handy.

Ji Chengfa bowed his hands to the two of them. He was sitting so high, and it seemed weird to look at the two of them who were sitting in the lower place, "You two are brave and courageous, I admire you. I will go to persuade Yin Shuo first, you all look at my eyes and act, If we can’t be persuaded, let’s use force again.”

"Young master, people are coming!"

The attendant reminded, Ji Chengfa waved his hands hurriedly, signaling Ning Xuan and the two to hide in the crowd, so as not to be discovered by Yin Shuo.

From a distance, Yin Shuo was seen riding on a tall horse, surrounded by heavy guards, followed by prison carts behind him, Gu Huaijiang first, Gu Jiuge and others followed in turn.

There were riots among the people, and some people were crying the name of "Master Gu".

Gu Jiuge and others searched among the crowd, wanting to see Gu Shubai and Yufu, but also afraid of seeing their figures, looking around, they found many familiar people in the crowd.

Gu Jiuge saw Yin Jiyu.

Her forehead was covered with white gauze, standing in the crowd, her gaze was always on Gu Jiuge, with tears in her eyes.

At this moment, Gu Jiuge seemed to see her in the past again, the one who hid alone under the dark willow tree during the Lantern Festival, so weak and helpless.

She was no longer weak, and the helplessness in her eyes at this moment burned his heart like fire and touched his heart. He frowned and shook his head at her, his lips moved slightly, repeating a mouth shape—

Yin Jiqian understood, those two words were "go back".

She shook her head firmly.

Now that she's here, she won't go back like this.

There was something hard hidden in the woman's wide sleeves, Yin Jiyu subconsciously stroked that place, her gaze became a little firmer.

Gu Jiuge was about to persuade her again, when she suddenly glanced into the distance, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The prisoner took his seat on the execution ground, and the prisoner was put on the execution platform. The attendants carried Ji Chengfa to find Yin Shuo, and suddenly saw a woman with a white gauze on her forehead hastily entered the execution ground.

"Isn't that Miss Yin?"

The attendant pointed to the direction where Yin Jixiu disappeared, and Ji Chengfa said, "It's Yin Shuo's younger sister, the one who likes Gu Jiuge?"

"That's right, she covered her forehead with white gauze because of the scar on her forehead. I can't see it wrong."

Ji Chengfa turned his head around, and said with a chuckle: "Then let's not go in, let's see the situation. We can delay it for a moment. It's too risky to rob people. It would be great if we can delay until Sister Yufu comes back."

The attendant said: "According to the letter sent back the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness and his party will definitely be able to arrive in Lin'an before noon today. I'm afraid the manpower we arranged will not be needed. Why should Yin Shuo act arbitrarily when His Highness is here?"

"At noon..."

Ji Chengfa put up the awning with his hands, raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's still early, it's still two full hours before noon. Preparations still need to be done. If the people in Guhou's mansion lose a hair, I'll be there in the future." How is Sister Yufu still messing around with you?"

The attendant couldn't help smiling, "Young master is more thoughtful."

"I'm Yin Shoufu's younger sister, let me in."

The location of the execution ground close to the beheading platform was heavily guarded by elites. Yin Jixie walked over carelessly, but the guard hesitated and said, "Please wait a moment, Miss Yin, let us go in and report—"

"What's the matter? Miss Ben went in to have a word with my brother. What are you talking about? Get out of the way!"

Yin Jixie pushed away the guard who stood in front of the god, and the man was about to draw his sword, but was pushed down by the person beside him, "Forget it, we can't afford to offend the people of the Yin family, don't be too many!" It's over."

Yin Jiyu felt a sweat in her heart, and was relieved when she saw that no one came up to chase after her.

She went around to the back of the surveillance platform, pretending to talk to Yin Shuo, and no one else doubted her when they saw her.

"Let the executioner go up and execute immediately."

Yin Shuo stood at the top, pulled out the command arrow and threw it down, the little official next to him was stunned, "Master Chief Assistant, it's not yet noon, so it's not appropriate to execute so early?"

Now that the execution is not executed, after a while the palace will definitely send another person to deliver the decree when they know the news, then Eunuch Chi will be killed in vain.

Yin Shuo never did anything with long nights and dreams. He looked at the little official coldly, "I said the execution will be executed immediately, so I need to explain to you?"

The little official was stunned for a moment, bent down helplessly to pick up the command arrow, and cast his gaze at the six executioners. The executioner behind Gu Huaijiang raised the knife first—

Ji Chengfa raised his hand, ready to signal his subordinates at any time, Ning Xuan and Chen Chuxiu tensed up.

In the corner at the other end, the woman covered in white veil frowned, and waved her hand in the direction of the execution platform, several silver lights flew out from her hands.

"Zheng—"

The executioner's knife suddenly fell and hit him at his feet.

Someone knocked down his knife with a hidden weapon!

Yin Shuo frowned and was about to stand up when he felt something cold pressing against his neck, and a familiar voice behind him said coldly, "Don't move, or I'll kill you."

Ji Chengfa, Ning Xuan and others outside the execution ground saw this scene, and stopped their next actions in an instant. Everyone's blood was boiling with enthusiasm. They never expected that a mere weak woman like Yin Jixiu would do what they most wanted to do!

"Put down the knife!"

The guarding soldiers immediately stepped forward and surrounded his brother and sister, Yin Ji said: "Kill me, Yin Shuo will not survive. I want you to release Gu Hou Ye and the others immediately, otherwise I will kill him now." !"

"Yin Jizhen, the execution ground is not a place for you to mess around, go back!"

Yin Shuo didn't turn his head back, his neck suddenly felt pain, Yin Jixiu cut his neck with a dagger, and blood flowed out.

This was her silent answer.

Seeing this, the soldiers retreated immediately, for fear that she would really kill Yin Shuo.

It was his own sister who held Yin Shuo hostage, no matter how many methods these soldiers had, they would not dare to kill Yin Jigui without Yin Shuo's order.

Even if Yin Shuo gave the order, there was still an old prime minister.

The scene suddenly reached a stalemate. Yin Shuo never thought that she, who has always been timid and soft, would do such a thing. He smiled softly, "Okay, if you want to kill me, then kill me. Everyone obeys orders, no matter whether I am the official or not." Dead or alive, immediate execution must not be wrong!"

The situation is so critical and changing rapidly that he cannot wait for a moment.

Even with his own life as a bet, he can't lose!

"You dare?!"

Yin Jiqian's dagger went a little deeper, Yin Shuo gritted his teeth, "Execution!"

The executioner behind Gu Huaijiang lifted the knife again, and Gu Jiuge and others who were tied to the execution platform stared at the big knife, with a cold light shining in mid-air.

Gu Jiuge and Gu Hanmo, who were closest to Gu Huaijiang, jumped up at the same time, and they used their bodies to block Gu Huaijiang's back. Almost at the same time, there was another clang.

The executioner's knife was hit by a hidden weapon again, this time he was prepared, the big knife in his hand was not shot down to the ground, but was hit in the wrong direction and slashed on Gu Hanmo's arm.

In an instant, blood gushed out, and the people waiting outside the execution ground finally couldn't wait anymore. Ji Chengfa waved his arms, and the masters under his command ran towards the execution platform in an instant.

"Yin Shuo, what are you doing?!"

A familiar voice sounded from the outside, and Ji Chengfa immediately frantically waved his hands and crossed in mid-air. The dozens of people in the crowd who were rushing towards the execution platform retreated back to their original positions like a tide.

Everyone looked around the execution ground, and saw two bright and yellow ceremonial guards driving side by side, Ning Chengzhi stood outside the sedan chair and jumped towards Yin Shuo.

"I have already decreed to cancel today's beheading, what are you doing?!"

Ji Chengfa had already seen the other guard of honor of Beili, and kept patting the attendant's face excitedly, "Come over, Sister Yufu has finally arrived!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

The child's voice was full of joy, Yin Shuo's eyes dimmed instantly, and he fell on the bright yellow ceremonial guard of unfamiliar shape.

He still lost.

Ji Chengfa excitedly opened the car curtain, changed his expression instantly, put down the car curtain, and turned to look at Ning Chengzhi angrily.

Ning Chengzhi didn't see anything strange in him because of his guilty conscience, he only said vaguely: "Put the criminals back to the Dali Temple prison first, and take both brothers and sisters back to the palace!"

"Emperor Ning."

Chen Jingxing, who was at the side, said: "The people in Guhou's Mansion were injured. Our Highness means to send them back to the Marquis' Mansion for resettlement. Our Highness will also stay in Guhou's Mansion."

"What?!"

Ning Chengzhi was hastily dragged out of the palace by them, and he felt that he had lost face. At this moment, the prince of Beili was still sitting in the sedan chair without speaking, not even showing his face, and asked Chen Jingxing to tell him that he would stay in Guhou's mansion.

Is he trying to slap himself in the face

Chen Jingxing glanced at him, "Emperor Ning violated our agreement and saw the blood when our Highness was on an envoy, which is already a great disrespect to me, Bei Li. Why, is it possible that Emperor Ning is not even asking for such a small thing now?" Do you want to refuse too?"

Everyone's eyes fell on this place, and the common people also looked at their king, Ning Chengzhi blushed slightly, "Okay, okay, according to you, if you have something to say, go back to the palace and talk about it."

After finishing speaking, he gave Yin Shuo a bitter look, then turned around and got into the sedan chair.

Everyone in Guhou's mansion was untied and sent back to the mansion, Yin Jixie put down the knife in a daze, and was immediately escorted by the soldiers beside her, "Miss Yin, please."

Yin Shuo glanced at her, "You've grown up, it's because I, the older brother, didn't care enough about you, and I didn't realize it at all."

Yin Jizhen did not show any weakness, "There are still many things that the eldest brother has not discovered."

The people in the execution ground gradually dispersed, and Ning Chengzhi went out of the palace to rescue everyone in Guhou's mansion, which undoubtedly became the latest topic of conversation in the imperial capital.

What made people even more curious was the Prince Beili who made Ning Chengzhi so ashamed, the mysterious figure who had never shown his face while sitting in the sedan chair. Ning Chengzhi can be so fearful without showing his face, and the case of the Guhou Mansion, which has been entangled for a long time, can be temporarily calmed down with a single sentence.

The woman covered in white gauze in the corner retreated quietly into the alley, suddenly bumped into someone behind her, turned her head and saw Ji Chengfa was smiling maliciously, just in time to wait for her.

"Sister Yufu, the sedan chair is actually empty, you are too courageous!"
