Gu Xingyun's expression has been solemn since he came out of Wentian Pavilion.
After returning to Prince Hui's Mansion, he ordered Wei Feng to send people to Nanlizhuang Village, Sanqu Town, Jingyang County, to secretly capture the former housekeeper He Songfa. Then he sent someone to the West Market of the capital city and secretly brought Hao Jinping, the owner of Wushuang Pawn Shop, to the palace.
After Wei Feng took the order, Gu Xingyun had someone clear a room in the backyard of Yihuayuan where he lived and filled it with torture instruments.
Gu Xingyun's mood was very complicated at this time. He hoped that what Mr. Bingwen said was true. I'm a little scared, all of this is true. He asked someone to get a pot of strong wine and drank it down, trying to calm his panic.
"Your Majesty, Hao Jinping, the owner of Wushuang Pawn Shop, has been brought to the backyard." Wei Feng outside the house called across the room.
Gu Xingyun's hand holding the wine bottle tightened, then he raised his head and closed his eyes and drank the last sip of strong wine. When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with a chilling air.
Gu Xingyun came to the room filled with torture instruments.
Hao Jinping was so frightened that he almost died after seeing the room full of torture instruments. When he saw someone coming in, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Do you know who I am?"
Hao Jinping heard the unfamiliar voice and looked up tremblingly.
The lighting in this room was not very good, and the light inside was extremely dark, which made the instruments of torture look even more terrifying. Hao Jinping carefully recognized Gu Xingyun's face, but it didn't appear at all in his memory.
"I am the eldest son of Prince Hui's Mansion, and I am the Emperor's General Yunhui."
"General Yunhui, no, Crown Prince Gu. I don't know where the common people collided with the crown prince. I want to bring the common people here..." Hao Jinping's legs went weak after hearing this. He vaguely knew what was going on.
Gu Xingyun bent down and pinched his chin hard, looked at him with cold eyes and said: "I am not the gentle prince in the capital who is full of poems and songs. I am a general who licks blood at the tip of his sword. A person like you would have fought a battle." , tens of thousands will be killed.”
Hao Jinping's whole body had gone limp. He was still able to stand up straight now, all because Gu Xingyun pinched his chin and lifted him up. Therefore, when Gu Xingyun let go, his whole body collapsed to the ground.
"Have you seen this room full of torture instruments?" Gu Xingyun went around the room and touched the torture instruments one by one.
"I'm not very good at using these. However, I don't mind if I learn from you and use them all again. Or maybe you want to try the method that I'm best at. For example, how to pry open the enemy's mouth? "After Gu Xingyun finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Hao Jinping with murderous intent.
How could Hao Jinping be so frightened? Not only was he pampered and pampered in this capital city, he was also living a prosperous and smooth life. He has never experienced the torture used by the capital to treat criminals, let alone the torture used by enemy countries? He didn't even dare to think about it...
"General Yunhui. Whatever you want to know or what you want to do, just give your orders and the common people will definitely do it."
"What do you think this general needs to know?" Gu Xingyun stood in front of him, his hands behind his back, and asked him with a sneer on his lips.
"Yes, the only thing Cao Min did to apologize to Prince Hui's Palace was to accept the palace utensils stolen by He Songfa out of greed. But Cao Min really only took them and resold them, and did not instruct him to steal them. He was the one who took the things with him. Come here and beg me to take it." Hao Jinping knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to admit his mistake. "
"How long?"
"It's been almost ten years. After the first time he sold it to me, he came back several times two years later. In the past few years, the number has increased."
"How many items from the palace have I sold to you?"
"There are more than 80 pieces one after another." Hao Jinping gritted his teeth and told the truth.
Gu Xingyun snorted coldly.
"You are so brave." Gu Xingyun shouted sternly.
"It's the common people's fault. The common people are greedy for profit and are blinded by money. I beg General Yunhui to let the common people go. The common people exchange the money they have resold over the years." Hao Jinping was sternly shouted at by Gu Xingyun, and he began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Do you know that among the items you resell, there must be items given by the Emperor. If you sell the items given by the Emperor, you will be beheaded."
Hao Jinping was dumbfounded when he heard this. He had always thought that although he had resold the palace's utensils, his crime would not lead to death. Gu Xingyun's words gave him a fatal blow. He sold the things given by the emperor... Yes, He Songfa stole so many things. Who knows how many of them were rewarded by the emperor.
He was completely stunned. This time, he not only wanted to behead, but also wanted to destroy the whole family. Forget about his rotten wife, he just took in a charming concubine and a pair of lovely children...
"General Yunhui, general. Please save the common people, they are ignorant..." Hao Jinping's head banged.
"Ben will be able to give you a chance."
"The common people thank General Yunhui for saving his life." Hao Jinping was overjoyed when he heard that there was still room for negotiation. He wiped the snot and tears from his face and wiped them with his sleeve.
Gu Xingyun looked at him with disgust, took a step back and said, "As long as you follow me to confront He Songfa in front of the imperial court. I will keep your life safe, and you only need to pay some fine."
"Prince?" After hearing this, Hao Jinping's body that had just straightened up collapsed again. Does this require him to go to the emperor and tell him that he sold the gift given by the emperor...
"I'm going to give you a chance to plead guilty and make meritorious service. I'm not here to ask you whether you are willing or not." Gu Xingyun said in a calm voice, with cold eyes: "Either your whole family will be wiped out. Or if you report and meritorious service, I will intercede on your behalf."
"The common people are going to report and are willing to confront." Hao Jinping came to his senses. This was the only way to survive.
"Wait, then."
"yes."
