318 Whistleblowing(1/2)
The remnants of the Yu family?! The two Jinyiwei guards guarding the gate changed their faces slightly and their expressions became solemn.
After the Yu family was punished, the entire Yu family was raided, Yu Si, Shangqing and other masterminds were sentenced to beheading, and all the Yu family members in the capital were detained. The emperor also ordered the Jinyiwei to go to Yuzhou to arrest other Yu clan members. It can be foreseeable that the entire Yu clan would probably be exiled to the frontier.
If there are still remnants of the Yu family wandering away, then it would be the Jinyiwei who is dereliction of duty.
The square-faced Jinyiwei was about to go in and report, but he saw a tall and tall figure walking out from the other side of the gate. His eyes were half-closed, and he had a momentum of not being angry but not being angry.
"What are the evil spirits of the Yu family?" The visitor said coldly, his words were concise, but every word seemed to carry the power of thunder.
Two gate guards hurriedly saluted to the people coming, "Commander He."
Beat! Gu Xiao's heart beat faster and he looked at He Lie, the commander of the Jinyiwei in front of him.
He swallowed, tried hard to stabilize his emotions, and bowed: "I have met Commander He."
Another Jinyiwei walked out from behind He Lie and said a few words to He Lie.
He Lie raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Gu Xiao again, his eyes darkened, as if he had only really seen Gu Xiao at this moment.
"Gu Xiao," He Lie said Gu Xiao's name in one sentence and asked directly, "You said Gu Yuan hid the remnants of the Yu family? Do you know what the crime is for falsely accusing the imperial court of appointing an official?"
Gu Xiao's heartbeat accelerated out of control again, and told himself: The Jinyiwei is the emperor's eyeliner, well-informed, and it is not rare to know that he is Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao said seriously: "Commander He, everything I say is true. As far as I know, Yu Si also has an outdoor room and flees."
While he was speaking, his burning eyes stared at He Lie tightly, his heart raising it to his throat, and he almost forgot to breathe.
The coachman next to him was also feeling anxious and anxious. He felt that all the pedestrians on the street were looking at them, and their eyes seemed to be thorny.
"Oh?" He Lie said lightly, looking at Gu Xiao calmly, without even moving his eyes and eyebrows, without showing his emotions.
Indeed, Yu Si had a favored outdoor room in the capital and was pregnant. However, the Jinyiwei dug almost three feet into the entire capital, but he could not find anyone.
Gu Xiao thought He Lie didn't believe it, and quickly said like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "I also know that Yu Si gave birth to a son in the outer room."
"Commander He, the mother and son are now hiding in the original Dingyuan Marquis Mansion on Yuan'an Street. You also asked the adults to go and search quickly, so as not to let people run away if they seek opportunities."
He Lie narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Xiao below the steps. He held the sword on his waist tightly with one hand, without expressing his opinion immediately.
He was taller and mighty than Gu Xiao, and now he stood on the stone steps, as if a towering mountain was standing in front of him. However, his existence would put Gu Xiao invisible pressure.
"..." Cold sweat faintly emerged from Gu Xiao's forehead.
If the Jinyiwei was concerned about the eldest prince and was unwilling to act rashly, it would be considered that this incident had never happened.
Gu Xiao took a deep breath, raised his voice, and repeated the speech he had prepared long ago: "Emperor Taizu has a word, and any real-name report must be accepted, any investigation must be investigated, and any investigation must be concluded."
His loud voice almost ran through half the street, and most of the pedestrians passing by heard it.
He came to the Jinyiwei today to report it with his real name. If the Jinyiwei does not answer, it would be contrary to Taizu's original intention of founding the Jinyiwei.
"Or, the Jinyiwei dare not check it?"
Gu Xiao said word by word, that the last sentence was equivalent to urging He Lie up, just saying that the other party's dignified commander of the Jinyiwei was afraid of Gu Yuan or was favoritism.
He Lie looked down at Gu Xiao, narrowed his sharp eyes, and a dangerous aura was released invisibly.
The square-faced Jinyiwei next to him observed his expression and stepped forward a half-step, and issued a warning on behalf of his own commander, every word was like a knife: "Gu Xiao, Emperor Taizu also said that if he falsely accused him, he would be punished for fifty knots and be exiled for three years!"
Not even any cat or dog can come to the North Town Fushi without any evidence to clamor!
Gu Xiao felt a little weak, but he still didn't avoid his sight and raised his neck and said, "I didn't make a false accusation."
"The person is now in Gu's Mansion. Commander He just needs to take people to Gu's Mansion to search!"
He Lie stared at Gu Xiao for a long time, his eyes sharply, and a large amount of cold sweat oozed from behind Gu Xiao's neck.
For a moment, Gu Xiao almost wanted to retreat, but He Lie said lightly: "Okay!"
His word is the final word.
Gu Xiao felt relieved, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, his eyes burning.
With He Lie's order, the Jinyiwei under his command immediately took action. However, in just a cup of tea, a team of about twenty people set out from the Beizhen Fushi, and Gu Xiao naturally followed him.
The Jinyiwei passed by was a tremendous momentum, with fresh clothes and angry horses, and those passers-by, carriages and horses all avoided it, and there was a kind of panic atmosphere.
After a stick of incense, the group arrived at the Gu Mansion on Yuan'an Street in a striking and suspicious gaze of passers-by. The red-lacquered gate of Gu Mansion was knocked heavily by the Jinyiwei.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The concierge was shouting "Here" and hurried over to open the door. He was shocked when he saw that the person who came was the Jinyiwei.
One of the Jinyiwei said majestic: "Who is our commander who has something important to meet Gu Qianhu!"
Even though the Jinyiwei's attitude was pretty good, the gatekeeper who came to the door was still a little restless. After all, the reputation of Jinyiwei is well known in the capital. Anyone knows that Jinyiwei will most likely be fine if it is not good for everyone to come to the door.
The concierge stuttered a little, "Sir, our uncle is in the small garden to have a banquet."
An old woman was a little weak, but she immediately ran to the northwest, intending to report to Gu Yuan.
He Lie left a few Jinyiwei outside the mansion, and took more than a dozen people to the high threshold, not caring about the people outside the mansion who came to watch the fun.
"Commander He, I'll take you there." Gu Xiao volunteered with some urgency and squeezed up from behind the crowd.
It was not until this moment that the Gu family's concierge discovered that Gu Xiao was there too.
Under Gu Xiao's guidance, a group of Jinyiwei walked towards the small garden like an enclave. As he walked, he felt a solemn and murderous aura.
Wherever they passed, it seemed like a biting cold wind was howling by. The servants of Gu's house were worried, not knowing what happened to the Jinyiwei.
Gu Xiao naturally noticed the uneasiness of these servants. When he remembered the fact that he was expelled by the guards before, he felt anger.
He walked forward with his head held high, unable to wait to see Gu Yuan change his face.
The water pavilion in the small garden was still lively. Fan Beiran, the road seemed to be like, Yue Jun and others were not leaving, and they were still drinking and playing, chatting and making fun of each other.
Even after seeing the arrival of the Jinyiwei, these people were quite calm.
They knew He Lie, and He Lie also recognized many of them. Although these young men were not the eldest sons and heirs in the family, they were not unknown people. Some of them were in the army, including the Five City Military Commanders, and the Twelve Guards. Some of them were famous playboys.
Gu Yuan stood up generously and bowed to He Lie: "Commander He."
His expression and posture were quite relaxed. Even when facing the terrifying commander of the Jinyiwei, he was still chatting and laughing, as if only an ordinary person was standing in front of him.
He Lie made a clear idea of his purpose: "Gu Qianhu, someone reported that your mansion was hiding the remnants of the Yu family."
As he said that, He Lie looked at Gu Xiao a few steps away, "The whistleblower is Ling's cousin."
The water pavilion was quiet, and the young men looked at each other, all of them were stunned.
Before Gu Yuan could speak, Lu Si took the lead and questioned Gu Xiao: "Gu Xiao, you have inexplicably linked to the remnants of the Yu family, just to get revenge on A Yuan and drove you out just now?!"
Lu Si snorted coldly and put down the wine glass in his hand heavily.
Everyone's contemptuous eyes shot at Gu Xiao like a knife. Gu Xiao didn't care, but instead raised his chin higher.
"Revenge?" He Lie raised his eyebrows in confusion.
The person who explained was Fan Beiran: "We drank well just now, but Gu Xiao suddenly came to make trouble without complaints and asked A Yuan to drive him out. You came so quickly, probably because he left here and went to the Beizhen Fushi. Humph, isn't this revenge?!"
"I didn't take revenge!" Gu Xiao raised his chin and said loudly, "I'm telling the truth. There are clearly babies crying in this mansion, but my elder brother denies it, insisting that it's a cat's cry, and I think he's guilty."
"Also, I've asked the old servants in the mansion. In the past half month, many people have heard the baby's night cry."
"Commander He, please order someone to search quickly. Don't let someone run away!" Gu Xiao said anxiously.
The maids and mothers next to them couldn't help but look nervous.
Many of them also heard about the cry of babies at night, so they couldn't help but swallow: Could it be that what the second young master said is true?
The air in the water cabinet became a little stagnant.
"Gu Qianhu," He Lie bowed his hand, his tone was neither salty nor light, "I asked my cousin to report it with his real name, and the Jinyiwei was also in charge of official business."
It means that the Jinyiwei has no intention of targeting the Gu family.
Gu Yuan glanced at Gu Xiao lightly, his handsome face was calm and he said to He Lie readily: "Then check it."
"However, there are two sisters and a widowed uncle in the mansion. Please don't be ashamed of the women."
He Lie naturally knew who Gu Yuan’s sister was. Fang Zheng’s face suddenly added a little smile and promised: “Don’t worry, Gu Qianhu will not disturb the two girls in your mansion and the uncle Ling.”
He Lieyuan wanted to say "Second Girl", but after saying halfway, he changed his mouth.
"Please," Gu Yuan said calmly, and ordered Wutong to find a few managers to lead the way for the Jinyiwei.
He Lie just waved his hand casually, and the dozen Jinyiwei who were accompanying him scattered and carefully trained to divide it into several groups to start searching the mansion.
This incident spread throughout the mansion in an instant. The servants, maids and mothers in the mansion were all trembling and worried.
If the Jinyiwei really found the remnants of the Yu family, it would be a prisoner of the court. I am afraid that the Gu family would inevitably end up being confiscated and exiled, and their servants would not have any good endings.
The mansion was covered with a faint shadow.
The young men in the water pavilion were still smiling.
The road seemed to be nothing, and He Lie sat down with a scattered guest. He smiled and ordered someone to serve tea. He teased Gu Yuan, "A Yuan, you don't have a golden house, are you?"
Gu Yuan: “…”
"Oh, with A Yuan's unconfused personality?" Fan Beiran shook his head sighing and sang and said to Lu Si, "Did you forget? Last time we went to listen to the song, and the courtesan lady was kind enough to pour wine for him, and he almost broke the arm!"
"I really don't know how to cherish the fragrance and beauty!"
