750, just count
On this day, Gu Qianxue was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, but she saw Xu Guangxuan running back in a hurry.
Xu Guangxuan was on night duty with Yao Zhen and Zuo Gang in the prison in Guandong City. Since he was transferred to day duty, he has been safe and sound, but it is rare to see him so reckless.
Qianxue stopped dancing her sword, "Guangxuan, did something happen in the prison?"
Xu Guangxuan took a deep breath to adjust his breath, and then said, "Go back to the princess, something big happened! Someone brought a man to recognize relatives today."
"Recognize relatives?" Qianxue was puzzled.
Xu Guangxuan said, "Yes, the man said he was Marshal Zhao's own son. When the marshal dismissed him from the backyard, one of Tong Fang was pregnant. After leaving, he found out that Tong Fang never married and raised the child alone. Grown up."
Gu Qianxue couldn't believe it when she heard it.
According to what Marshal Zhao said, Marshal Zhao sent troops to crusade before Lanzhi gave birth, how could he have time to have sex with others
But come to think of it, maybe it's true? After all, Marshal Zhao grew up in an era when men were superior to women and women were inferior, and one wife had multiple concubines. Even Gu Qianxue didn't believe that Marshal Zhao guarded himself like a jade and would not touch other women except his disfigured lover.
"How old is that man and what does he look like?" Qian Xue asked.
"Over thirty, no matter in appearance or figure, he is very similar to Marshal Zhao." Xu Guangxuan replied.
Gu Qianxue was silent.
Chu Yan stepped forward, "Princess, what should I do?"
"It's difficult!" Qianxue was also very contradictory, "I can't make a judgment, what if he is really the illegitimate son of my grandfather living abroad? But even so, the timing of this illegitimate child's appearance is too coincidental, why is my grandfather 'crazy'? , he came out?"
Chu Yan sneered, "This matter is actually easy to handle."
Qianxue was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Is it right to kill people directly?"
Chuyan raised her eyebrows.
Qianxue shook her head, "You are becoming more and more like a cruel person." But suddenly remembered that he was like this, Chuyan was like this, even Lu Weilou was like this, but she didn't know why there were so many radicals around her.
Chu Yan knew that the princess would not take this method, so she sighed helplessly.
"Guangxuan, who brought this man here to recognize relatives, and where does this man live with the marshal's former concubine?" Qianxue asked.
"Go back to the princess and live in the yamen." Xu Guangxuan replied.
Qianxue raised her eyebrows, "Really? If so, I won't believe him if he is real." But so what if you don't believe it, if the evidence is convincing, the fake can become true.
"You reply to continue to be on duty. If you have time, tell grandpa." Qianxue smiled sweetly, with a sinister smile on her delicate face, "let grandpa neither admit nor deny."
Xu Guangxuan said, "Yes, Princess, the subordinates will go back first."
With Gu Qianxue's approval, Xu Guangxuan left.
Chu Yandao, "Master, why don't you admit it or deny it?"
"If you deny it, let's not talk about whether grandpa will reveal his secrets, just say, wouldn't it be a good thing for the other party?" Qianxue lightly pointed towards the direction of Nancheng, where Zhao's army was stationed.
The first smoke is clear.
"Let them tear it apart, we just need to strike a balance, until the two sides kill each other and lose both sides, we will make a move again, there is a chance of winning." Gu Qianxue resumed her martial arts practice.
Chu Yan also restrained her thoughts, and continued to correct Gu Qianxue's movements and teach new moves.
Same time, another place.
Some people are not as open-minded as Gu Qianxue.
"General Zhang," Xue Xufeng strode into the general's mansion, cupped his hands at Zhang Mowu, but his expression was extremely flustered, "Have you heard what happened in the prison just now?"
At this time, Zhang Mowu was also discussing this matter with several confidants.
There is a familiar face in the confidant, it is none other than Luo Xiong.
"Master Xue came just in time." Zhang Mowu's face was ashen, but he still forced a smile, pretending to be righteous, "We are discussing this matter, although the marshal is like this... But thinking of the marshal, Zhang is also very relieved. "
Xue Xufeng sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "Yes, God is kind to Marshal Zhao, but it's a pity that Marshal Zhao went astray."
After discussing for a while, the confidantes were sent out by Zhang Mowu.
"Master Xue," Zhang Mowu couldn't hold back the calmness on his face after closing the door, "Do you know what is Zhao Situ's background?"
Xue Xufeng said, "I don't know, but no matter what his background is, he cannot be Marshal Zhao's son."
Zhang Mowu also nodded viciously—it was a joke, if Marshal Zhao had a son, the position of Marshal might be hereditary, even if it wasn't hereditary, the benefits would be greatly reduced in his hands.
Xue Xufeng naturally saw Zhang Mowu's careful thinking, and smiled treacherously, "Then Zhao Situ is probably just a puppet found by the prince." Just like Zhang Mowu was to Prime Minister Pei.
Xue Xufeng didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"What should we do?" Zhang Mowu asked.
"I've sent someone to investigate, of course, don't wait around," Xue Xufeng pointed at the closed door, which was the direction where his confidants left, "It's time to test your loyalty and ability, are you right?"
Zhang Mowu also nodded in understanding.
The peaceful Kanto City is actually tense and full of gunpowder.
In a flash, two days passed.
Just after nightfall, Xue Xufeng had just returned to the house where he was staying to prepare for dinner, when someone came to report, "Master Xue, there is a person outside the door asking to see him, claiming to be your housekeeper named Ma Wenli, and he is still holding your token."
Xue Xufeng was taken aback, okay, why did Steward Ma come to Guandong City? "Let him in quickly." I didn't have any thoughts about eating, and I became anxious.
Ma Wenli looked as old as ten years old, fell to his knees when he saw Xue Xufeng, and cried with a low head.
Xue Xufeng hurriedly drove the servants out, closed the door himself, and walked quickly to Ma Wenli, "Butler Ma, what happened?" There was a hint of joy in his heart, "It's Madam... died of illness?"
Butler Ma shook his head, "It's not Madam, it's Young Master..."
Xue Xufeng was startled, and immediately grabbed Steward Ma by the collar, "What did you say, can you say it again?"
Butler Ma cried even more bitterly, "It's the young master... The servants from the side courtyard took the young master out to play, and suddenly a group of people came and snatched the young master away..."
"Did you report to the police?" Xue Xufeng roared out.
Steward Ma's heart hurts—how to report to the official? Aunt Qiao and Master Zixuan in the side courtyard are not well-known. If they really report to the officials, can Xiang Pei bear it
"You don't need to report to the official, young master, he...he..." He was speechless.
Xue Xufeng's heart sank, and he pushed Steward Ma away, "What's wrong with Zixuan, tell me!"
"Master, he... was killed." Steward Ma lay on the ground, crying so hard that he couldn't get up.
Xue Xufeng only felt his eyes go dark, and he sat on the ground slumped.
Of course, he also knew that even reporting to the officials would not help. People cannot be brought back to life after death, and they might be able to pull out the side courtyard. "Where's the murderer? Has the murderer been found?"
Steward Ma raised his head, "At that time, someone from that group dropped something, and that thing was... from the prime minister's residence!"
