The little boy was so frightened that he cried loudly, and was led by his wife by the hand and walked back to the servant's room.
At the time, he thought it was a servant teaching his child a lesson and didn't take it seriously. But now that he thinks about it, isn't the child about the same age as Xiao Yao?
"Oh no! That child!" He climbed out of bed, put his clothes on his body, and rushed out the door.
Ming Yan didn't stop him. He knew what Ding Liu had missed as soon as he saw the situation. Without further ado, it was better to let Ding Liu do business first.
You will definitely be punished when you come back, alas!
Gu Chengyu was thinking about it in the room. There was another troublesome person in this matter, and that was Hua Lian.
He couldn't keep people locked up all the time. He was in trouble. If he married Hua Lian and was found by those people, then Hua Lian would be framed by them even if she was perfect before marriage.
Once Hua Lian gets married, the matter will not be explained clearly. Even if Hua Lian's husband-in-law testifies, it cannot be compared to the fear of human words. Moreover, if there are too many people talking about it, maybe her husband-in-law will also become suspicious.
What's more, my husband can also be bribed, so relying on this as evidence is very unreliable.
But the fact that he saved Hua Lian would be criticized at any time. He couldn't keep Hua Lian in prison for the rest of his life, right?
Gu Chengyu wiped his face. Do you want to change Hua Lian's face?
As soon as this thought came out, Gu Chengyu himself laughed. There was no plastic surgery in this dynasty, so he himself would have random thoughts.
However, he felt that he could delay it for a few days until Xiao Yao's matter was resolved, and then marry Hua Lian far away! Marry far away, and we would never have contact with each other until we die.
He didn't believe that the Dayan Dynasty was so big that Hua Lian could be found by someone who was interested.
Gu Chengyu forgot about Hua Lian and wondered if he could find Xiao Yao.
Two hours later, Ming Yan came to report again.
"Sir! Ding Liu came to report that the young boy is no longer in the other courtyard."
Ming Yan felt a little uneasy, Ding Liu would definitely not be able to escape punishment this time. Xiao Yao was originally in the yard, but they missed Xiao Yao and even alerted him.
It seems that Ding Liu and the others were snooping outside Prince Jing's Mansion, and Prince Jing's Mansion has already gotten the news.
Gu Chengyu was silent for a while before putting down the book in his hand. According to Mingmo's opinion, Xiaoyao must have been in a separate courtyard.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
"Yes! When Ding Liu went to investigate for the first time, he saw a child about the same age as Xiao Yao in the yard. But at that time, a woman was holding him and claiming to be the child's mother. The child did not object.
He didn’t take it to heart.”
"When the child asked him later, he remembered this. When he went to look at the other courtyard, the child was no longer in that room. He wanted to look for him in the other courtyard, but he didn't want to be discovered.
Injured."
Speaking of this, Ming Yan glanced at Gu Chengyu and found that Gu Chengyu looked very unhappy.
"Is the injury serious?"
Gu Chengyu was indeed a little angry. Not only did Prince Jing arrest Xiao Yao, but he also sent people to ambush him in other courtyards, injuring his people.
"Ding Liu's kung fu was good. He was not seriously injured. He was just stabbed in the shoulder with a sword."
Ming Yan was also worried about Ding Liu. Fortunately, Ding Liu's kung fu was good, otherwise there would be two questions about whether he would come back this time.
Gu Chengyu suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "How many people were there at that time?"
"It is said that there are five people, and they are all top-notch players."
Gu Chenyu snorted coldly: "Huh! Five people? That's really merciful, otherwise Ding Liu's skills would definitely make it impossible to come back."
It's not that Ding Liu's kung fu is not good, Ding Liu is the best among the Ding generation except Ming Mo and Ming Yan.
Ding Liu's temperament is also quite clever, and he has always been the leader of the Ding generation.
But if one person is dealing with five good fighters at the same time, if the opponent shows no mercy, it will definitely take more than just one stab.
"Let him live a good life and cultivate himself. The rewards from before will still be there." Gu Chengyu never treats his own people badly.
Even if Ding Liu was negligent in doing things this time, Ding Liu was also injured, which was a lesson learned.
As for whether he can be reused by himself in the future, it depends on his performance.
Ming Yan then put his heart back in his stomach. He knew that his master had always been kind-hearted. But when his master became cruel, he showed no mercy.
Besides, this matter is not trivial. This is a confrontation in officialdom. If you make a wrong step, you don’t know what consequences the master will suffer.
"Yes! Ding Liu is kneeling outside to apologize!"
Only then did Ming Yan dare to tell Gu Chengyu about Ding Liu kneeling outside. He was also afraid that his master would be angry and make Ding Liu angry.
"Let everyone outside Prince Jing's palace withdraw! Let him kneel for two hours. This incident has taught him a lesson. He must be more cautious in doing things in the future. Not only must he be meticulous, but he must also cherish his own life. Don't do anything.
Acting recklessly.”
This Ding Liu still had some winks, and Gu Chengyu couldn't help but nodded. After a good training, he would be able to be entrusted with important tasks.
In the future, there will be many things that are inconvenient for him to do and can only be done by Ding Liu and Li Zhuang. These people naturally need to be able to take charge of their own affairs, and he does not want to follow them to clean up the mess.
"Yes!" Ming Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The Lord must not care about it. It seems that the Lord is still very optimistic about Ding Liu.
"So what are you going to do with Xiao Yao? Isn't it too easy for them to withdraw all the people?"
Ming Yan knew that His Excellency was no longer prepared to monitor Prince Jing's Mansion, but if he just withdrew like this, wouldn't all his previous efforts have been in vain? He was still unwilling to do so.
"We have been exposed, what is the use of monitoring Prince Jing's Mansion anymore? Don't withdraw Gu Changbai's people, just protect his life!"
Gu Chengyu remembered his father's previous instructions. For his father's sake, it was not difficult to send two people to protect Gu Changbai.
As for Xiaoyao, he is an innocent child.
"Send someone to look at the wheel marks in that other courtyard to see where the people were sent. Remember, be careful and don't make these people anxious, otherwise you will also suffer a loss. If you are reluctant, then come back.
!”
Gu Chengyu had some guesses that Xiao Yao might have been sent to Prince Jing's Mansion.
Either to blackmail him or to remove Xiao Yao so as not to leave any evidence.
Based on his understanding of Prince Jing, the former is better.
What he is hesitating about now is whether he should go to Prince Jing's Mansion to rescue Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao was innocent and suffered an unreasonable disaster. Speaking of a child, he really couldn't bear it.
It's just that the crown prince is about to be established. It's not a good thing for him to have a close relationship with Prince Jing.
During this period, there must be many people monitoring the princes' homes.
If someone saw him going to Prince Jing's Mansion, they might think that he had a close relationship with Prince Jing and that he had become a member of Prince Jing's party.
After thinking about it, he decided to visit Prince Jing's Mansion at night.
All I can say is that he tried his best. If he really couldn't save Xiaoyao, then he would be completely benevolent and righteous.
After making up his mind, Gu Chengyu said to Ming Yan: "Send someone to investigate as soon as possible and report to me immediately when you come back." 11
