Chen Laowu is a night-sucking man. Although this job is not decent, because there are few people willing to do it, he earns a lot of money every month. However, there are many noble people in the capital, and he usually only goes out to work at night, and helps with household chores during the day, and his life is quite nourishing.
Before it was dark, he changed into the coarse old clothes that were hanging outside. Before he could go out, several men dressed as ordinary people broke in.
He was startled and was about to shout, when a burly man covered his mouth.
"Wuwuwu, what do you want to do?" He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and when he saw that these men had knives on them, he was afraid that he would make these men angry and dare not speak out.
"Jin Jiawei is handling the case, please cooperate." One of the men saw him quiet down, took out his token, and said to him, "His Royal Highness wants to see you."
"Prince, prince?" Chen Laowu was so shocked that his tongue was knotted, and he was even more afraid. Could it be that he said a few days ago that the daughter-in-law that the prince was going to marry must be a beautiful woman, and it spread to the prince's ears
After Chen Laowu appeased his family, changed his clothes and got into the carriage with Jin Jiawei, he found that his cousin was also in the carriage, who was a hawker selling bamboo shoots in the vegetable market.
"Cousin." Seeing Chen Laowu, the bamboo shoot hawker was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at him directly. He felt that he was arrested because he said in the afternoon that Xie Consort wore a green hat.
"Why were you arrested too?" Chen Laowu whispered, "I heard that these people outside are the servants of His Royal Highness?"
In the hearts of ordinary people, the prince is like a person from another world, mysterious and inviolable.
"Al-maybe it'll be fine." The bamboo shoot hawker trembled, "His Royal Highness fiancee is the daughter of General Hua. General Hua is so good, the prince who married his daughter must be a good person."
Chen Laowu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he nodded.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Jin Jiawei opened the carriage door. The two came out and saw that it was not the palace, and felt a little lost in their hearts.
Didn't it say that the princes lived in the palace
Although the two of them are illiterate, they also know that this is Dali Temple, and they are even more nervous. It turns out that if they gossip, they will be arrested at Dali Temple
The two tremblingly followed Jin Jiawei into the gate of Dali Temple. One Jin Jiawei seemed to see their nervousness and smiled: "Don't be afraid, we have sent someone to protect your family."
As soon as these words came out, they were even more afraid, how could even their family members be involved.
The hawker selling bamboo shoots could no longer control the fear in his heart, and knelt down in front of Jin Jiawei with a thud: "My lords, Caomin is wrong, and Caomin will never say that the scholar-in-law wears a cuckold in the future!"
"What green hat?" A man in a brocade robe walked in, followed by many people.
The hawker who bought bamboo shoots cried with snot and tears. When he looked up at the person who came in, he forgot to even cry. Why is there such a good-looking man in the world
He wiped the tears on his face a little embarrassed, always feeling that being too sloppy in front of such a person would be offensive.
The prince looked at the two dumbfounded people and said, "You are not prisoners. What are you doing on your knees? Get up."
The two of them didn't know who this man was, so they subconsciously chose to listen to him. They stood up obediently. Although someone brought them a stool, they didn't dare to sit.
"Just now you said that the scholar-in-law wears a green hat, what's the matter?" The prince sat down on the carved wooden chair and asked lazily.
"My lord, the little ones are just talking nonsense..."
"Tell me." The prince said with great interest, "Gu is very interested in this matter and will not pursue you."
"So that you know, this is His Royal Highness." The eunuch in the East Palace flicked his whisk and said in a high voice, "You can say what you know, but you can't hide it at all, understand?"
"Tai, Tai, Prince?" Chen Laowu's feet softened and he knelt down again.
My god, how could His Royal Highness look so good-looking
"Don't be nervous, Gu is just chatting with you." The prince asked the eunuch to help the two people sit down, stroked the beads on his wrists, and raised his chin: "Tell me."
Chen Laowu is not good at words, and hesitantly does not know what to say. Fortunately, the hawker who sells bamboo shoots has been dealing with the people in the market all the year round. Seeing that the prince is really interested in this matter, he starts talking immediately.
While he was talking, he observed the prince's expression. Seeing that the prince was not angry, but instead showed a smile, he suddenly understood, it seemed that the prince didn't like this scholar-consort
So he began to use the popular method of adding oil and jealousy in the market, to get a man in black out of the Princess Mansion.
"Interesting." The prince laughed twice, paused for a moment while playing with the bracelet, raised his hand and said, "Bring the man in black and let them recognize him."
Ah Da never imagined that there are people who can speak so much in the world.
Since he was locked in this cell, the prisoner has been talking non-stop, even when he was sleeping, he did not forget to say a few words in his sleep.
What made him even more incomprehensible was that the people in the cell next to him had no opinion.
"If my ancestors didn't do anything 30 years ago, I would be the eldest young master now."
He had heard this sentence at least twenty times.
"Ugh."
He had heard sighs at least fifty times.
"Brother, what did you do to come in?"
He asked this question at least ten times.
"Hey, I think you look a bit like the brother who came to visit Yun Han a few days ago." The prisoner knocked on the pillar of the cell and called Yun Han over, "Hey, look at this person, does he look good? Something like your long lost brother?"
Yun Han was so annoyed by this prisoner for a long time that he said without raising his head, "I have no brothers!"
"You can't say that. Your brother brought you food a few days ago." The prisoner sighed, "I would like to have a long-lost brother come to me."
Ah Da was shocked. When he pretended to be Brother Yun Han, he had made a disguise. How could this prisoner be able to see how similar he was
"Stop dreaming." A prisoner next to him teased, "You've been locked in for several months, has anyone visited you?"
"Isn't it enough to have a dream?" The prisoner touched the beads on his neck and snorted coldly, "You all be polite to me, my ancestors were wider."
Everyone burst into laughter, not knowing whether it was a joke or whether they thought the prisoner's words were ridiculous.
Ah Da looked at the jade beads on the prisoner's neck and frowned.
At this moment, he saw several people coming in from outside. Not knowing what these people said to the jailer, they walked straight over here.
"You, come out." These people pointed at him and opened the door.
good chance!
Ah Da was about to run away without even thinking about it. Who knew that these people seemed to be lazy, but in fact they came prepared, and immediately tied him up.
"Sure enough, he's a trainee, and his ability to escape is good." The man who tied him sneered and dragged him out.
These people are masters!
Ah Da was shocked, these people came prepared, has his identity been exposed
After walking around, after round and round, Ah Da was taken to a room that was exquisitely furnished and even lit with a faint incense.
He sniffed, the incense he had smelled in the main study at home, and it was said to be very precious.
There are countless guards lurking around the house, and there should be a very distinguished person in the house.
He looked up at the man sitting on top, but didn't speak.
The prince raised his chin and motioned Chen Laowu to recognize the person: "Look, but this person?"
"Yes, it's him. He came out from the side door of the princess' mansion in the evening. He looked mysterious. At first glance, he was not a serious man." Chen Laowu said excitedly, "It's already curfew time in the evening, serious. How can people go out at that time?"
"Okay, reward." The prince rubbed the bracelet, leaned on the chair, and asked Dali Temple to bring back the bamboo shoot hawker and Chen Laowu, then looked at Ah Da lazily, "Tell me, what are you from the princess' mansion? people?"
Ah Da was silent, he glanced at Chen Laowu with killing intent in his eyes.
"What do you see others doing?" The prince's eyes turned cold. "Did you know about the assassins who infiltrated the Dali Temple last night?"
Ada remained silent.
"Gu likes people who have a temper." The prince was not angry, he turned to Pei Jihuai and said, "Come on, write a confession for this person."
Pei Jihuai took out a pen and paper.
Prince: "Are you the one who thanked the concubine?"
Ada was silent.
Prince: "Did Xie Consort send you to kill Xie Yao?"
Ada was unmoved.
The prince asked some more questions, but Ada didn't say anything.
"Do you remember it clearly?" The prince put on his hands and turned his head to look at Pei Jihuai.
"Back to His Royal Highness, it has been recorded." Pei Jihuai dried the ink on the paper and handed it to the prince.
After the prince read it, he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I know that the concubine Xie hides evil intentions and is unfaithful to the royal family."
"I didn't say anything!" Ah Da shouted angrily, "You are confounding right and wrong."
"What?" The prince raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So you can talk?"
Ah Da's heart choked with blood.
"As the saying goes, silence means acquiescence. If you didn't refute what Gu just said, it means that Gu's guess is fine." The prince returned the confession record to Pei Jihuai.
"You framed good people!" Ah Da growled.
"Gu framed Xie Consort, what does it have to do with you, what are you angry about?" The prince suddenly realized, "Gu also forgot, you are his subordinate, so naturally you want to complain for him."
"I have nothing to do with the Princess Mansion."
"Of course you have nothing to do with the Princess Mansion, because you have a relationship with the Xie family." The prince slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, "I don't care what you want to do, but this place in the capital is not a place for you to play tricks!"
Ah Da snorted coldly, "You framed Zhongliang."
"Gu is the prince." The prince stood up. "What Gu says is what you say. You said that Xie Consort is Zhongliang, who admitted it?"
"Gu said that Xie Concubine has hidden evil intentions, then he must have a problem."
"His Royal Highness is right!" said the eunuch Jia of the East Palace, "Xie Consort Xie has a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, so there is a problem at first sight."
Eunuch B: "In order to get rid of the crime, even my own daughter is not spared. It's really vicious. The tiger's poison does not eat its children, and it is even worse than a beast."
Eunuch C: "The private killer, he is trying to rebel!"
"Look, the eyes of the masses are sharp." The prince tutted, "It can be seen that Gu has not wronged him."
Ada: "..."
He had never seen such a brazen person.
"The matter has been clarified, and I don't bother to waste time here." The prince said to Pei Jihuai, "Put this person in custody for a long time. If he accidentally dies, then it must be that the concubine Xie wants to kill and silence, then his crime can be reinstated. One more."
"Yes!" Pei Jihuai responded without hesitation, as if he had no opinion on the prince's behavior.
"Prince, aren't you afraid of getting retribution for handling the case so hastily?" Ah Da looked at the back of the prince's departure angrily, wishing to tear a piece of meat from the prince's body.
"Gu is upholding justice and has a clear conscience. Even if there is retribution, it should fall on the concubine Xie, so what does it have to do with Gu?" The prince smiled, "Don't worry, Gu has dealt with so many people, who has been wronged? ?"
Ah Da was shocked. Although he was in the south all the year round, he had also heard rumors about the prince.
It is said that the prince has a very strange temper, and sometimes when he gets angry, he will not save anyone half face. What's even more evil is that anyone who was made troubled by him was found to have major problems in the end.
"For the sake of your loyalty, Gu decided to lock Xie Concubine in early, so as to round up your master-servant friendship." The prince raised his eyebrows, "Don't thank Gu too much."
Ada: "..."
Why didn't a lightning strike kill him
The author has something to say: Prince: Gu has always been caring.
Ada: Get out!
