Chapter 131 Contributing or wanting to be robbed of credit?
Gu Mian turned his head and looked around, and whispered, "Jing Yao, you don't want to die! Emperor Liang is arresting you!"
Liang Jingyao frowned and said: "There hasn't been a day in these years when he didn't catch me. It was just in the dark before, but now he has put it on the table! I heard that you were manipulated by Emperor Liang, so I came to take a look.
But it’s such a mess outside, it seems like I’m late!”
Gu Mian had no choice but to tell Liang Jingyao the whole truth, "Yes, Emperor Liang forced us to hand you over, otherwise, we will kill everyone! But don't worry, my father, my grandfather, and I are discussing countermeasures."
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "No countermeasures are of any use. Just hand me over. The Gu family cannot be thrown away!"
Gu Hao stood up with tears in his eyes and knelt down in front of Liang Jingyao, "Absolutely not! If something happens to you, what's the use of the Gu family being here? The late emperor will die in peace!"
The more Gu Mian listened, the more confused he became. What does this have to do with the late emperor who has been dead for so many years?
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Gu Hao did not answer Gu Mian's words, he just kept kneeling on the ground and kowtow.
Liang Jingyao couldn't stand it anymore and forcefully pulled Gu Hao up and said: "Mr. Gu, I am very grateful to you for remembering the late emperor's words all these years, but I am not really going to die. This is just a delaying tactic. It is more important to save the Gu family first.
, I promise that nothing will happen to me!"
"Alas!" Gu Hao lamented. If the Gu family died in his hands for a hundred years, he would not have the face to meet his ancestors when he went underground, but he could not live up to the kindness of the late emperor!
After much thought, Gu Hao decided to take a gamble and asked, "Okay! But what should we tell the people outside?"
Liang Jingyao thought for a while and said, "Is that Xiao Dezi outside? Just tell him that I am hiding in the Duke's Mansion in Jingcheng City and ask them to find me there!"
Gu Mian asked anxiously: "What about me? I'll go with you! I don't want you to take risks alone!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "After I follow Xiao Dezi into the palace, Ah Mian, you will drive a carriage and wait for me at Shilipo outside the city gate."
Gu Mian was worried. There was still such a long distance from the palace gate to the city gate. Anything could happen!
He insisted: "No, I'll wait outside the palace gate!"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said: "It's too conspicuous outside the palace gate. I can't trouble your Gu family anymore. Zhanhu will come over in a while with a carriage from the Zhenguo Palace. You go to the side door and wait. He will take you to Shilipo!"
"
Gu Mian felt very strange, why did Liang Jingyao stick to the Zhen Guo Duke's house? Wasn't Zhen Guo Gong's house confiscated? Now he lives in the eldest prince's other courtyard!
He asked in confusion: "The Duke of Zhen's house has been ransacked, is it really useful to let him take the blame?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said: "It didn't work before, but it's very useful now! Because the second prince died, Emperor Liang only had one son left, the eldest prince. Maybe Zhennan Palace will start to gain power again! So I have to provoke him.
, In this way, if Emperor Liang wants to re-activate King Zhennan in the future, he will give up the idea as soon as he thinks about what happened tonight!"
Gu Mian finally understood the reason. On these issues, he had to admit that Liang Jingyao thought further than himself!
"Okay, then be careful, I'll wait at the side door later!"
Liang Jingyao nodded, jumped out of the window and left. As the window was blown shut by the wind outside, it seemed as if Liang Jingyao had never been in the large study room.
Gu Hao put the small box back in its place, walked to the door, and said, "Come out with me!"
Gu Mian clenched his fists and said, "Okay!"
In the front hall of the Gu family, Xiao Dezi leaned on the Taishi chair, with contempt and arrogance on his face. Looking at the servants and other masters of the Gu family running around, Xiao Dezi raised the corners of his mouth and made a thin voice: "I want to run away."
?There’s no way out! I’ll catch them all and beat them hard!”
At this time, Gu Hao hurried over. He had heard everything Xiao Dezi said about his success!
Before today, whenever any new product came out, he would never forget to give one to Xiao Dezi. Every time during the New Year and holidays, he would prepare as many gifts as possible for Xiao Dezi's birthday!
Unexpectedly, when a disaster was approaching, Xiao Dezi not only failed to say a few good words in front of Emperor Liang, but now he was still showing off his power in his palace!
This is simply too much!
Gu Hao walked up to Xiao Dezi with a dark face. In fact, he was the royal merchant of a century-old family and did not need to salute an eunuch. However, Xiao Dezi was a close person of Emperor Liang. For the benefit of the family, he would not bow to an eunuch every time he saw him.
He bowed politely to Xiao Dezi, but now he was not willing to give Xiao Dezi face anymore!
"I only know that Liang Jingyao often goes to see Duke Zhen Guo, and he won't tell me the details. You have searched my house ten times, right? Is anyone here? Eunuch De should know that the emperor is still waiting in the palace.
It’s here! I suggest you go to the Zhenguo Duke’s Mansion to look for it!”
Xiao Dezi clearly felt that Gu Hao was being rude, so he snorted coldly and scolded: "How presumptuous! Come here, push these three people to the ground and beat them hard! Until they tell the truth!"
Gu Mian was young and energetic, and could not bear such cowardice. While pushing away the imperial guard who was approaching, he shouted angrily: "Why? Didn't you say that as long as we tell what we know, you will let the Gu family go? You eunuch
, you can’t believe what you say!”
Xiao Dezi's eyes were red with anger. He hated being called a eunuch!
He snatched the stick from the guard on the side and shouted angrily: "You haven't eaten yet? Hold him down, I must smash his mouth today!"
The imperial guards listened to the order and all gathered around to grab Gu Mian's hands and feet. Gu Mian could not resist alone and was finally pinned to the ground.
Xiao Dezi laughed loudly, "It's really like a dog! So what if it bites? I'll smash your mouth first, and then break your legs. I'll see how arrogant you are!"
As he said that, Xiao Dezi raised his stick high and brought it down heavily on Gu Mian's face, once, twice, three times...
Gu Mian couldn't avoid it. He felt that the bridge of his nose was about to be broken, his eyes were beaten so hard that he couldn't open them, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and the teeth inside began to loosen. Even if Xiao Dezi's strength was not as strong as those who practiced martial arts.
Royal Forest Army, but I can’t bear to keep fighting!
If the fight continues like this, I will really have to answer here!
Gu Mian gritted his teeth and pushed his forehead against the stick, causing the stick to snap into two pieces.
"Eunuch De, if you spend your time here beating me, even if you beat me to death, you will have accomplished nothing. But if you capture Jing Yao, you will have done a great service in front of the emperor! Do you believe it? If you capture Jing Yao
If I beat you to death, my father will go to the palace immediately and tell the emperor Jing Yao's whereabouts. Then our Gu family will still be able to escape the death penalty, but you have completely offended the entire Gu family, and we have robbed you of the credit!"
