"Not bad!" Gu Qi nodded slowly and looked at Cu Liang approvingly: "You still see things clearly!"
"Centurion Chen recommended Centurion Chu out of bad intentions." Chu Liang shook his head and said, "Centurion Chu is kind to him, but he regards Centurion Chu as his enemy and uses small tricks at every turn. This time, he is giving Chu Centurion There’s a permanent set!”
"Yes." Gu Qi said: "The two of them don't get along, and I know that."
"So Centurion Chen's words are not credible." Xu Liang said: "In my opinion, the Mei Second Courtyard, where Centurion Chu is not around, is indeed not as elite as the Mei First Courtyard. This case still has to be put on the Mei First Courtyard, and it must be pressed hard. Once pressed, they are still very powerful.”
"Okay, go and tell Chen Donghai that they will catch the murderer within three days, otherwise he will be questioned!" Gu Qi said in a deep voice.
Chu Liang cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"
Gu Qi raised his head and looked at Yang Zongwen: "Xiao Yang, what do you have to say?"
"I don't agree with Brother Chu." Yang Zongwen shook his head and said: "Centurion Chen recommended Chu Centurion out of bad intentions, but it is also true. We all know that Centurion Chen is a dog who protects food the most. If he can Once the case is solved, we will definitely do everything possible to get it, instead of pushing it out like this now. They are really not sure, and there is no point in forcing them."
Gu Qi said in a deep voice: "So, we can only let Chu Li solve this case?"
Yang Zongwen nodded slowly: "I know Centurion Chu's ability best. No one can solve this kind of case. Only Centurion Chu has a glimmer of hope. There is no need to let Centurion Chen waste time, just invite Centurion Chu back. That’s serious!”
"The key now is not to invite Centurion Chu back!" Xu Liang snorted.
Yang Zongwen said: "I think Commander Gu came to visit in person, and Centurion Chu must have come out to meet him."
"I'm here in person?" Gu Qi snorted, shook his head and said, "He's so proud!"
Yang Zongwen said hurriedly: "Commander Gu, now is not the time to talk about face. If you have face in front of Centurion Chu, you have no face in front of the emperor!"
"I would rather lose face in front of the emperor than lose face in front of Chu Li!" Gu Qi said coldly.
Yang Zongwen sighed and shook his head.
Xu Liang said: "This Centurion Chu is really going too far. He wants to force Commander Gu to bow his head!"
Yang Zongwen sighed: "Centurion Chu is arrogant and arrogant, relying on his talents and arrogance. There is nothing he can do about it. He can't come out of seclusion now. What can be done to him?"
"Hmph!" Gu Qi sneered: "I will meet the emperor in person and ask him to order him to investigate the case. Let's see if he obeys the order or not!"
Xu Liang said hurriedly: "Is this going to cause a big fuss?"
"I'm not afraid of causing trouble, and I can't suppress him if I don't believe it!" Gu Qi snorted: "Since Chen Donghai can't investigate the case, then don't let him investigate the case. I will enter the palace now!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Xu Liang glanced at Yang Zongwen.
Yang Zongwen shook his head helplessly.
At this point, things were out of his control, beyond his imagination.
He didn't expect Gu Qi to be so willful and not care that the emperor would look down on him. He would rashly ask the emperor for such a trivial matter. Even the prince would not dare to be so casual. The emperor has so many things to do every day, how can he have the time to deal with such trivial matters.
When he begged the emperor like this, the emperor would certainly look down on him. He could not suppress a subordinate and had no skills in controlling people, but it also made the emperor know that the centurion's rebelliousness was really not a good thing and a lose-lose approach.
Gu Qi acted very quickly, and the forbidden palace was also vigorous and resolute.
An hour later, two Xuanyi Forbidden Palace guards came to the outside of Prince An's Mansion and shouted: "The Emperor has a decree. Chu Li, the manager of Prince An's Mansion, will accept the decree!"
His voice was like a loud bell, resounding throughout Prince An's Mansion, and everyone could hear it clearly.
The door of Prince An's Mansion opened quickly, and a dozen or so gorgeous maids came out first, while several guards quickly spread out white blankets.
"Princess, come!" a guard shouted.
Xiao Shi wore a white shirt, revealing her beautiful face, and walked out of the palace calmly, with a perfect demeanor.
Xue Ningyu and Song Liuying curled out behind her, looking dignified and beautiful.
The three women stepped on the white carpet and stood at the foot of the steps of the palace. They bowed to the two guards of the Forbidden Palace and stood quietly.
Xiao Shi's beautiful face is like carved from a piece of white jade, crystal clear and warm, with flowing brilliance. Xue Ningyu and Song Liuying are graceful and elegant, with extraordinary beauty.
"Where is Chu Li?" a Forbidden Palace guard shouted.
He is a burly middle-aged man with a solemn face. Seeing that Chu Li did not appear, he frowned and said, "Does he want to resist the decree?"
"This superior officer, Chief Chu, is not in the palace and cannot receive orders." Xiao Shi said lightly.
"Not in the palace?" Another guard of the Forbidden Palace said solemnly: "Princess Xiao, you cannot lie before the imperial decree, but it is the crime of exterminating the family!"
He is a thin old man, wearing a mysterious suit, which has turned white after washing, as if his life is not going well.
But the Forbidden Palace guard never needs to worry about money, so it can only be due to his simple nature.
Xiao Shi said: "Absence means absence. What can be deceived? Besides, it is also an honor to have an imperial edict issued. If he is here, how can he miss it?"
"Are you really not here?" the old guard of the forbidden palace said solemnly.
Xiao Shi frowned and looked at him, a little impatiently: "Are you done? Let's do this. You send a team of people over, surround the palace, and search everywhere. If you find him, then take him." he!"
"Haha, Princess Xiao, of course it's not like this." The old Forbidden Palace guard smiled.
The middle-aged Forbidden Palace guard said in a deep voice: "Princess Xiao, are you showing off to us?"
"It doesn't matter if I look at your face!" Xiao Shi said angrily: "If you declare the imperial edict, just declare the imperial edict. What are you talking about? Now that Mr. Chu is not here, do you still want to declare the edict?"
"Forget it, let's read it out, and the princess will hand it over as well." The old man said with a smile.
He is old and has a cool temper. He knows Xiao Shi's temper and temperament very well. He is really not afraid of heaven and earth. She is not inferior to women. More importantly, she has a strong foundation. As a young lady from the Duke's Palace, no matter how much trouble she makes, the Emperor will not be afraid of her. No blame.
Xiao Shi said angrily: "I can't even see his person, how can I hand it over?"
"Don't Mr. Chu return home?"
"He went out to find a place to retreat, saying he wanted to stay away from worldly affairs." Xiao Shi said: "Just to hide from the trivial matters of the government, how can we find him!"
"Hmm..." The two of them hesitated.
The middle-aged Forbidden Palace guard's face was ashen. He had never seen such a domineering person. He didn't look good on the two of them and refused impatiently. It was really disgusting, but there was nothing he could do about her!
The old Forbidden Palace guard smiled and said: "Anyway, since we are here, of course we can't go back without reading it out, so let's announce it first."
"It's up to you." Xiao Shi said impatiently: "If you want to announce it, announce it quickly."
"Okay." The old Forbidden Palace guard unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and said loudly: "I have ordered Chu Li, the centurion of the Secret Guard Mansion, to immediately investigate the case of the Feng family's murder. The murderer will be arrested within ten days. Delay!"
After saying this, he handed the imperial edict to Xiao Shi. (To be continued.)
