"Sir Bai, it's a little inappropriate to bother the Duke Protector based on this letter." Gongsun Nan felt a little embarrassed.
This Protector of the Country naturally refers to Yu Wennan. After Yu Wendong was exiled, the title of Protector of the Country was succeeded by Yu Wennan.
"What's wrong?" Bai Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "A letter from the northern border said that my third brother is still lying in bed, his life and death are unknown, and my nephew died tragically. The emperor said that no matter who it is, as long as there is suspicion,
Just deal with it strictly. Mr. Gongsun should have not forgotten it, right?"
Gongsun Nan's face froze, a little dumbfounded.
Dongfang Chen did tell him in front of the civil and military officials that he should be free to investigate. No matter who he was, he could put him in jail and interrogate him. Of course, he also knew that Dongfang Chen was hinting at him.
We must use our hands and feet to deal with the Yun family.
However, now that it was the Yuwen family's turn to be suspected, he did not dare to apply this pattern casually.
"Why, Master Gongsun wants to favor the Yuwen family? If Yuwennan runs away, our Bai family will not let it go." Bai Qinghong said coldly.
Bai family...
Gongsun Nan was excited and quickly made a decision.
Between the Bai family, an established family that has always stood firm, and the crumbling Yuwen family, of course he chose the Bai family. He believed that in the face of the evidence, the emperor would not blame him. Moreover, it was obvious that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Yuwen family.
No less than the Yun family.
Gongsun Nan had people wake up the officers and soldiers in the Yamen, and led them to the Protector's Mansion.
Bai Qinghong followed closely with people from Duke Ning's mansion.
"Open the door! Open the door!" Following Gongsun Nan's instructions, the officers and soldiers banged the door of Duke Ning's mansion.
"Who is it?" A moment later, an anxious inquiry came from the door, but the door did not open.
The people of the Yuwen family are now frightened, cautious and careful in everything they do, and are no longer as arrogant and domineering as before.
"I am Gongsun Nan. If I have anything to do with you, please contact the Lord Protector." Gongsun Nan took a step forward and answered loudly.
"Ah, Master Gongsun, it's so late, what can I do for you?" There was a hint of surprise and caution in the voice of the person inside.
"It's an emergency. Open the door quickly. You can't afford to miss me." Gongsun Nan replied coldly.
There was silence in the door for a moment, and then the man quickly said: "...Yes, sir, please wait a moment."
Next, the door creaked and was opened from the inside, revealing the face of a middle-aged male servant. Looking at the group of officers and soldiers outside, he was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
"Come in!" Gongsun Nan waved his hand, then strode in with the others, heading to Yu Wennan's room on a familiar road.
The valet guarding the door wanted to stop him, but the officers and soldiers pushed him away unceremoniously.
In fact, the Bai family members were following him, and he couldn't even pretend to be lost even if he wanted to.
All the way into the courtyard where Yu Wennan was, Gongsun Nan waved his hand, and two officers and soldiers came forward and started banging on the door again.
"Who is it?" came a little girl's voice from inside.
"Gongsun Nan, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, there is something urgent. Your master, please get up quickly." Gongsun Nan said loudly.
There was a burst of busy footsteps inside, and then Yu Wennan's voice: "Brother Gongsun, what's the matter? I want you to go there in person in the middle of the night..."
Following Yu Wennan's voice, the door was opened from the inside. Yu Wennan buttoned his clothes and walked out. When he saw a pair of officers and soldiers behind Gongsun Nan and people from the Bai family, he immediately froze.
