Ming Mo was about to knock on the door to wake up Gu Chengyu, but as soon as he reached the door, he heard Gu Chengyu calling him, and he immediately responded, turned around and left the yard.
It seems that the adults stayed up all night again last night!
Gu Chengyu did not go to the East Palace to resume his life. Now that the assassination case has not progressed, it would be useless for him to go to the East Palace.
The jailer guarding the gate of Dali Temple yawned violently while leaning on the gate. Seeing the man's lack of energy, another man quickly laughed and said: "Did you go out to be a thief in the middle of the night? Are you so sleepy?"
They only had to watch the second half of the night and rest in the squad room for the first half of the night. This person was just laughing at him!
"I played cards with Liang Da yesterday. You can't blame me for not coming!" The man tried hard to open his eyes, trying to stay awake, but his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds and he couldn't lift them up at all.
"Hey! During the national mourning period, you actually dare to play cards?"
After the man next to him finished speaking, he stopped talking. When the jailer heard the national mourning, he immediately sobered up a little. When he opened his eyes slightly, he was so frightened that he was out of his mind.
"Please forgive me, Master Gu. I will never dare to gamble again in my next humble position." He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Gu Chengyu three times, and begged for mercy in his mouth.
Gambling is strictly prohibited during the national mourning period. How can he survive if Lord Gu knows about this? It's not like he didn't see Lord Gu's ruthlessness yesterday. He would never dare to look down on the other party just because he has a tender face.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but have a dark look on his face, "Open the door, I want to interrogate the criminal!"
"Please Lord Gu, please show me your noble hand and spare my humble position. I must treat my humble position like a cow and a horse to repay Lord Gu for his great kindness!"
The man was still begging for mercy, and Gu Chengyu looked at the other jailer who was trembling with fear.
"Ah! I'll open the door right now!" Shakingly, he took out the key from his waist and opened the big lock.
Gu Chengyu ignored the jailer who was still kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and went straight into the prison. As he walked, Gu Chengyu was still thinking, is he so scary? Why can these two people be so scared? He is obviously as gentle as jade.
Is a warm man good?
What on earth tempered him to look like this? Alas! It was life! Life tortured him like a butchered dog, and he still wanted to treat life like his first love.
Instructing the two of them not to come in, he walked towards the prison.
Xia Qing heard the sound of the door opening and immediately turned his head to look over. When he saw it was Gu Chengyu, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he snorted coldly and turned his head away.
Gu Chengyu was about to walk forward, but didn't want to hear voices coming from outside.
Gu Chengyu could only hear the jailer who opened the door for him outside saying flatteringly: "Why are Eunuch Pang here so early in the morning? I will open the door for you right now!"
"Humph! It's almost three o'clock in the morning, and it's not too early for our family to arrive. Here is the prince's handwriting, so as not to embarrass you!"
A high-pitched and feminine voice sounded next, with full arrogance in her tone.
"Oh! If you don't do things for His Highness, how can you come to our place?"
"However, after all, this is a humble duty, Eunuch Pang, this is offending!"
Pang Chu? The owner of this voice is definitely Pang Chu. Gu Chengyu will remember it correctly. Pang Chu can appear here, and he must be doing things with the prince.
Gu Chengyu turned to look at Xia Qing, his eyes were deep and bottomless, and Pang Chu was afraid that he was here for him.
"I wonder which prisoner Pang Eunuch wants to interrogate?" one of the jailers asked tentatively.
"Arrest? Our family doesn't dare to raise this hand. This is a prison. Non-officials of Dali Temple are not allowed to interrogate criminals. Don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will be caught. Our family will not get better, and you can't be alone.
."
Pang Chu's face turned pale. With these insignificant things, no wonder he could only guard the gate of Tianlao here.
"Yes, yes! Eunuch Pang is right."
"Huh!" Pang Chu flicked his sleeves and walked ahead with his head held high.
Then Gu Chengyu heard the sound of the chain being opened again, and two footsteps approaching from far away, approaching Gu Chengyu.
As soon as Pang Chu appeared at the corner with a jailer, he heard the clear and soft voice of a young man coming from inside.
"It's Eunuch Pang here!"
Pang Chu couldn't help but look up at the young man standing in the cell, and saw that although he was wearing a linen shirt with a round collar and large sleeves, the filial piety clothes were not official robes.
Her hair was tied up with a jade crown, and the crown belt hung on her chest. She held one hand behind her back and had a pure smile on her face.
Pang Chu was startled for a moment, and couldn't help but admire in his heart. It is often said that a Taoist woman should be pretty and filial, but today he realized that this also applies to men.
"Oh! It turns out to be Mr. Gu. Why did Mr. Gu come so early? But he wants to interrogate a criminal?" Pang Chu looked surprised and saluted to Gu Chengyu.
"Exactly! I am very surprised to meet Eunuch Pang here." Gu Chengyu slightly raised the corners of his lips, so early? Who said it was almost three hours a day?
"We have been ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince to release Mr. Xia." After Pang Chu said this, he looked at Gu Chengyu cautiously. Xia Qing was Gu Chengyu's political enemy, and he would definitely be angry if he found out.
I don’t know what the prince was thinking, but he wanted to let Xia Qing go. After all, the emperor only died because Xia Qing recommended Taoist Tianji. The prince did this, I’m afraid it would be hard to explain to the courtiers!
But he is just a slave, how can he discuss the government affairs arbitrarily? He just needs to do what His Highness has told him to do.
"freed?"
Sure enough, Pang Chu saw Gu Chengyu's face darken, with a bit of disbelief and anger on his face.
"Ahem! This is His Highness's intention. He said that because of Mr. Xia's hard work and achievements in the past, he is allowed to return home for the time being. However, it is natural that he cannot be reinstated."
Gu Chengyu suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Qing, and saw that Xia Qing's expression was also quite surprised. However, after just a moment, a proud smile broke out on his face.
Gu Chengyu looked at Xia Qing intently for a while, ignored Pang Chu, and walked towards Zhou Yuancong's cell without saying a word.
"I want to interrogate Zhou Yuancong!"
The two jailers felt that the atmosphere was a bit stagnant. From the cold tone, they knew that Mr. Gu must have a bad expression without even looking. They quickly opened Zhou Yuan from the cell where he was, and they took him out one on the left and the other on the right.
Although Zhou Yuancong had been diagnosed and treated yesterday, how could he recover so quickly from such a serious injury?
It was only one night, and Zhou Yuan was feeling a little dazed from the pain. He couldn't faint completely because of the pain. He just felt like there were ants burrowing into the wound.
He was tied to the wooden frame again, and he couldn't help but tremble a little.
He had truly felt the pain yesterday, and he had to suffer it again today. The firm belief in his heart could not help but be shaken.
Hearing the sound of Pang Chu reading the prince's edict, Gu Chengyu snorted coldly and said coldly to Zhou Yuancong: "Master Zhou, look at me, did you think clearly last night? Do you want to confess today?
Woolen cloth?"
Zhou Yuancong opened his eyes when he heard Gu Chengyu's voice. When he saw Gu Chengyu playing with a jade pendant hanging on his waist, his eyes widened and his body began to tremble even more.
