"Oh? The background is not small? What should I say, do these people have nothing to rely on? This gambling house should not exist in the first place, but it dares to be so rampant? We have been ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince to hunt down assassins, whether they are high-ranking officials or dignitaries.
All civilians should cooperate. Even if they go to the noble houses of those aristocratic families, how can anyone dare to stop me from handling the case?"
Seeing that Jiang Shaohua wanted to say more, Gu Chengyu waved his hand, "Don't worry, Jiang Si Cheng, you are just following orders. If anyone dares to stop you, don't be polite. Take them down first. Such people must be in collusion with the Daxing thieves.
, harboring assassins is a serious crime of confiscating a family and annihilating a clan. If anyone blames you, I will bear the full responsibility and just ask them to come to me."
After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, regardless of Jiang Shaohua's ugly expression, he waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Seeing that Gu Chengyu had made up his mind, Jiang Shaohua knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he had to accept the order and leave.
He murmured in his heart that Lord Gu was indeed acting domineeringly. If anyone tried to stop him, it would be tantamount to colluding with Daxing's thieves. How arrogant was that?
Gu Chengyu looked at Jiang Shaohua's retreating back and called Ding Jiu, who was standing far away, to come over and said, "Send a few good men to keep an eye on this person secretly. If there is anything unusual, send someone back immediately to report it to me."
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Chengyu rubbed his smooth chin and sneered secretly in his heart. This Daxing plan was quite big, but he didn't know what subsequent methods he could not use.
In a few days, it will be the day when the vassal prince will enter the capital. I wonder if Prince Jing and Prince Gong will make any changes.
However, these two people may not be in the capital at the moment. Since they are eyeing the dragon throne, they have naturally begun to make arrangements long ago.
If we wait for the emperor's death before rushing to the capital, wouldn't it mean that the day lilies will be cold?
Zhou Yuancong was not in the same group as Daxing's men, so he didn't know who this person was working for. However, Gu Chengyu felt that behind this person was either Prince Jing or Prince Gong.
Thinking of these two vassal kings, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but turn his mind to Wu Wu. Wu Wu seemed to have really given up the world of mortals and dedicated himself to Buddha.
But Gu Chengyu felt that this was the other party's cover-up. Even though Wu Wu had let go of the past, it would not be the case that his father died and he was still indifferent and his expression remained unchanged.
Two years ago, the emperor thought about the bond between father and son, but he still showed mercy to Zhenwu. Could it be that Zhenwu didn't have any affection for the emperor? Even so, there is always some emotion, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Chengyu felt that he still had to send someone to monitor Wu. If Wu was hidden and waiting for opportunities to act, then he would be a little passive.
The third prince who was impulsive and irritable back then has now become calm like Prince Jing and Prince Gong.
Nancheng and Xicheng have been searched, and no suspects have been found. However, what Gu Chengyu is sure of is that these people must be hiding in the capital.
Gu Chengyu got on the carriage and closed his eyes in meditation.
After waiting for more than an hour, the sound of light footsteps came, and Gu Chengyu opened his eyes.
"Ming Mo! But there is a discovery?" Gu Chengyu recognized the footsteps of Ming Mo and Ming Yan, and it was impossible for Peng Fang and Jiang Shaohua to receive news so quickly.
"Sir! After careful search, we found three suspicious people among these beggars."
Ming Mo's voice sounded outside the carriage, and Gu Chengyu couldn't help but get up and get out of the carriage.
"Bring those three people up!"
Three beggars with ragged clothes and messy hair were brought over. But now they were being pushed to their knees on the ground, their arms were cut behind their backs, their bodies were also tied up, and a piece of rag was stuffed in their mouths.
"Tell me how you caught these three people!" Gu Chengyu turned to look behind the three people and saw that their nails were covered in dirt and their arms were also very slender.
He opened the palm of one of them and looked at it, then he got slightly closer to the other person. When he felt the other person's rapid and heavy breathing, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
The three beggars had a look of panic in their eyes, but they had rags stuffed in their mouths and were being held by officers, so they couldn't move.
"Reporting to your lord, when we asked the beggars to identify each other, the three of them ran away. Therefore, we arrested them."
Gu Chengyu turned to the front of the carriage with his hands behind his hands, and suddenly saw a little beggar poking his head at the base of the wall.
Gu Chengyu turned his head and looked at the dilapidated house on the right. He couldn't help but curl his lips and waved to the little beggar.
When the little beggar saw Gu Chengyu looking towards him, he hid back in fear. His big eyes flickered, and he did not dare to come forward.
When Ming Mo saw this, although he didn't know what his master meant, he also knew that the master had something to say to the child. So he prepared to step forward and bring the child over.
"Wait a minute! Don't scare him away!" Gu Chengyu stopped him quickly, remembering that there was a plate of plum blossom cakes warming on the fire in the car, so he asked Ming Mo to bring it over.
Looking at the cloth shoes with exposed toes on the little beggar's feet and the thin and tattered clothes on his body, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh.
Whether it is the prosperous capital city or Jiangnan, or the bitter cold land near the border, there is no shortage of homeless, hungry and cold poor people everywhere.
"Child, come here, I'm just asking you something. As long as you answer correctly, I'll give you this food."
Gu Chengyu smiled gently, waved to the little beggar, and shook the plate of plum blossom cakes in his hand.
In fact, little beggars are not afraid of life. For beggars like them, they have to face different people every day. If they are not thick-skinned, how can they get food and money?
But when the little beggar saw that this man was accompanied by so many official servants, his face was like a crown jewel, and he was dressed in luxurious clothes, his demeanor showed that he was not an ordinary person.
They, the little beggars, have long developed a pair of sharp eyes. They would never dare to come forward to beg for such a person. Otherwise, if they bump into a noble person, no one will say a word even if they are beaten to death.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu was smiling happily and showing no ill intentions, the little beggar quickly stepped forward.
"I pay my respects to you, my lord!" As soon as the little beggar walked up to Gu Chengyu, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Gu Chengyu smiled for a moment. He had already experienced the sufferings of the world at a young age, and he was somewhat clever.
"Get up! Do you always live in this broken house?" Gu Chengyu handed the plum blossom cake in his hand to the little beggar and motioned for him to take it.
"Sir! I usually live here. When I saw you here just now, I didn't dare to go back."
The little beggar was not polite. After taking the fragrant cake, he glanced at the fine porcelain plate that was as white as jade. He simply took off a piece of his tattered single clothes and wanted to pour the fragrant cake into his clothes and wrap it up.
Seeing this, Gu Chengyu waved her hands quickly, "Put it on quickly! In case you catch a cold, I'll give you this plate."
"Do you usually beg in this area, or do you often change places?"
