Because so far, Gu Yanzhi has only visited about half of Prince Wu's Mansion.
The appearance shown before seemed to make anyone want to take a closer look at every corner.
Except for the side rooms that were inconvenient to enter, Gu Yan seemed to be planning to browse all the other places.
As a result, it suddenly stopped midway.
Seeing Gu Yan's leaving figure, Zhou He did not catch up. Instead, he turned to look at the remote garden, and the expression on his face became gloomy.
Turning around and walking quickly back to the study, Zhou He saw his father sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and concentrating. Zhou He couldn't help but said: "Father, Gu Yanzhi... I'm afraid you have guessed it."
"It's normal. As soon as the royal decree was issued, how could Gu Yan not think that his son's affairs were related to the palace? He is not stupid. Jiang Fan is not willing to take the blame for you, and the palace still uses Jiang Fan for the time being.
Then of course this matter can only be put on the surface, there is nothing to worry about."
Zhou Di didn't open his eyes and said very casually.
"But...will Gu Yanzhi do anything detrimental to me? After all, he is the guard of Heyang City, and he still has some capable people. Gu Haoran is his only son. If he is too stimulated,
It's too serious, so if you attack me regardless of the consequences, I can't hide in the palace forever, right?"
Zhou He said very tangledly.
"Are you afraid now? Why didn't you think about this when you killed Gu Haoran?"
Zhou Di looked at Zhou He and said.
"It's hard to think safely when you're so angry..."
Zhou He said helplessly.
"Okay, Gu Yanzhi is not alone. His son is dead and he has other relatives. He can't bring his entire nine clans to bear just because his son is dead, can he? If he really dares to do something to you, then
The first person who will not let him go is His Majesty."
Zhou Di waved his hand and said.
Zhou He thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case, so he felt relieved again.
However, he immediately felt a little aggrieved. As the prince of Prince Wu, he was still afraid of the possible revenge of a city guard, which greatly affected his self-esteem.
After giving a rather perfunctory salute to his father, Zhou He turned around and left Zhou Di's study.
He wanted to go to Zuixian Tower and meet Yun Qingqing.
Because in his opinion, Yun Qingqing was definitely in a state of panic at this time, and he had to go and comfort her.
At least tell Yun Qingqing that he took care of Gu Haoran's death so that Yun Qingqing doesn't have to worry anymore.
Although he knew very well that his father was right, the difference in status between Yun Qingqing and him meant that no matter how much he liked Yun Qingqing, he would never marry Yun Qingqing into the palace.
But for Zhou He, regardless of whether there is a future or not, right now, he doesn't want to cut off contact with Yun Qingqing.
At this time, Gu Yanzhi had already boarded the carriage waiting outside the main entrance of the palace.
He opened the curtains of the carriage carriage and took a deep look at Prince Wu's Mansion. Then he lowered the curtains again with an indifferent expression and said, "Let's go home."
The driver waved his whip, and the two horses pulling the cart stepped out at the same time.
In the carriage of the carriage, there was not only Gu Yanyan, but also another person sitting opposite Gu Yanyan.
This man was dressed in plain clothes, and his age was hard to tell. He seemed to be in his twenties, or in his thirties, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him being in his forties.
His appearance is extremely ordinary, and his overall temperament is also very ordinary.
If you throw it on the street, it will definitely be lost in the crowd in an instant, and it is impossible to attract anyone's attention.
"Uncle, how are you?"
As the carriage started to move, the man asked.
His voice was a little hoarse, and his throat seemed to be broken.
"The thing you gave me did react. Outside a remote garden of the palace, it seems... Haoran's body was buried there."
Gu Yan took out a blood-red ball from his arms and said in an extremely cold voice.
The ball is about the size of an egg, and there seems to be liquid flowing inside, making it quite mysterious.
"So... it really is the work of Prince Wu's Mansion?"
"Yes, both the words of King Wu Zhou Di and the reaction of Crown Prince Zhou He prove this. Haoran... was killed by Zhou He."
"Then uncle...what are you going to do?"
"How to do it? I can't do anything. That's King Wu and the royal family. I, the city guard, am just a dog raised by the royal family. If the dog's owner beat the dog's son to death, can the dog still bite the owner to death?
?”
Gu Yan's face was expressionless.
The person sitting opposite fell into silence.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a bit depressing. After a few minutes, the person sitting opposite suddenly said: "But there is only one owner of the dog. As for the dog owner's relatives... they are not actually the ones the dog must protect. So in some cases
, if it’s because you have a blood feud with the dog owner’s relatives, then finding an opportunity to bite the dog owner’s relatives to death… is also excusable, right?”
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a cold voice: "Opportunity? What opportunity? Relatives are relatives after all, and dogs are dogs after all. No matter how close you are to the owner, the owner will never treat the dog like a human being. What's more, the owner's
He doesn’t just have one dog, he has thousands of the same dogs.”
"With so many dogs competing for their owners' favor, the importance of each dog to the owner is actually very average. Sometimes, even if a few dogs die inexplicably, the owner will not care.
You will remember that throwing in a few bones occasionally is enough to make those dogs fight to their death."
"As for relatives... no matter how dirty and wary there are between relatives, and no matter how seemingly distant the relationship with the relatives, they are still relatives after all. They are always more important than dogs. What's more, relatives also represent the face of the owner.
How could the owner let his dog bully his relatives?"
The person sitting opposite leaned forward slightly and subconsciously lowered his voice.
He said: "Uncle, the owner of the dog is very wary of his relatives because he is worried that his relatives will break into his home and take away his property. Relatives are relatives, but they cannot be regarded as a real family. And the dog...
They are supposed to look after the family property for their owners, so dogs and relatives are naturally on opposite sides."
"In this case, if the owner thinks that his relatives really have such thoughts and starts to take action, what will happen if the dog responsible for guarding the house bites to death the relatives who want to come to rob the family property?"
Gu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he murmured: "What do you mean..."
"Uncle, don't forget, the owner of the dog...is not at home recently..."
