Chapter 1028: Just one person
The prince hurried to the East Palace, and as soon as he saw Gu Chengyu, he hurriedly asked, "Lord Gu, but there is a result?" β
Gu Chengyu hurriedly gave a salute, "Return to Your Highness!" This is the confession of five of them, and please look at it Your Highness! β
The prince didn't wait for Pang Chu to step forward, so he took it personally.
He picked up the paper and looked at it at a glance, but the more he looked at it, the tighter his brow became.
But in a moment, the prince slapped the confession in his hand on the bookcase, "It's just unreasonable! β
The prince was so furious that Pang Chu was taken aback. Then he stood aside and trembled, even breathing as slowly as he could.
"Humph! This Daxing thief has broken into our Dayan is not a young man, and Chang Yuan, who guards Yu and Guan, is still unaware? If you want to go to our Dayan territory, but you have to pass two checkpoints, does Ren Xiuguang of this Yumen Pass know nothing? It's ridiculous. β
The crown prince was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, since these spies have been here for many years, will there be any collusion between officials in the court and Daxing?
"Your Highness, please stop your anger! These dead men didn't know much, they only knew that someone would answer them when they came. If it weren't for one of them being their little boss and knowing more than they did, we wouldn't even be able to ask about this. It's a pity that this person's status is not high, and other things are not for him to ask. β
Gu Chengyu was not surprised when he saw that the prince was angry. After all, someone broke into his couch and dared to blatantly assassinate himself, who could not be worried and afraid?
If there are still people in Daxing who stay in the capital and plan to assassinate the prince again, then the prince's life is indeed worrying.
"Then the address mentioned by this person, you immediately send someone to search it, but there is probably no one there at the moment. After all, they have been startled, how can those people stay where they are and wait for us to search? β
This little boss is the person who is directly in contact with the mastermind behind the scenes, but he has to wait for the other party to leave him a password before he can contact the other party.
According to what the little leader said, every time he saw the mastermind behind the scenes, the location was different, and Gu Chengyu expected that these people would change their residences every once in a while so as not to be discovered.
Moreover, these people are very suspicious, and after saying that they can't see the little leader, they will immediately change their residence. As for why it is so troublesome, if you don't find a place to meet in a teahouse, it is probably because you are afraid of being seen.
If you are used to hiding in the shadows, why are you afraid of being seen? Unless they are in the capital, they are worried that they will run into acquaintances. Or rather, someone has seen their faces.
Gu Chengyu thought about it, and suddenly thought of the diagram master who had been rescued before. This person's status should not be low, so could it be that this person is in the capital now, or even the mastermind of the plan to assassinate the prince this time?
Thinking about it like this, Gu Chengyu also had eyebrows. He thought of Xia Qing who was locked in prison, and couldn't help but glance at the prince, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
After these people saw this person, they would immediately change their residence, and at this moment, most of the courtyard at the foot of this southern city was empty. However, Xia Guan has a quick way, and he can't say that he can catch the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible. β
Gu Chengyu's attitude was respectful, and the expression on his face was very calm.
"Oh? Master Gu, come quickly! The prince's eyes lit up, of course it was good to catch someone as soon as possible.
"Your Highness has to borrow this method!"
The corners of Gu Chengyu's lips hooked slightly, for this candidate, he was thoughtful. It can not only test the prince's mind, but also solve the matter, and there are many benefits, which are simply counted in one fell swoop.
"Do you want some good hands to help you out? This Manchu civil and military attachΓ©, only you need, all for your use! It doesn't matter how many products it is, you just have to speak. β
The prince believes in Gu Chengyu's ability, as long as Gu Chengyu is willing to spare no effort to do things for him, he will naturally ask people to give people and silver to silver.
Gu Chengyu shook his head, then stretched out a finger, "Only one person!" β
The prince was a little puzzled and didn't know who it was.
"It's that Xia Qing!"
The prince's stunned gaze came, and when he saw that Gu Chengyu was calm, it didn't seem like he wanted to declare a personal vendetta, so he nodded slowly.
......
At the beginning of the unitary period, when Gu Chengyu came out of the East Palace, night had completely fallen.
Riding the carriage to South Street, Gu Chengyu lifted the curtain and looked out. At the time of national mourning, the people were not allowed to marry for 100 days, and they were not allowed to enjoy the joy of silk and bamboo and a large feast.
Even the famous green buildings in the capital have closed, and only a few dim lanterns are left in front of the door swaying in the wind.
"Go home!"
Mingmo couldn't help but hesitate when she heard the clear voice coming.
"My lord! Didn't you just say that you wanted to find out if Master Peng had gained anything? Mingmo was afraid that Gu Chengyu would forget, so she reminded her.
"Don't worry, most of the time today is in vain!" Gu Chengyu pulled the linen large-sleeved crewneck shirt on his body, looking slightly tired.
I haven't had a good rest for two days and two nights, and today I took advantage of my position to go home and take a break.
Besides, he has important things to do. It's not that he underestimated Peng Fang and Jiang Shaohua, these two people won't gain anything.
"Jiang Shaohua, what's going on?" Thinking of Jiang Shaohua, this is an important person, and he can't be taken lightly.
"Not yet!"
"Now is not yet the time, send more men with him in the evening. Whoever he sees, he must send someone to follow him and report it to me. β
It's hard to move during the day, but it's the best time to do it at night. Even if Jiang Shaohua wants to contact anyone, he can only pick it at night.
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Chengyu took a sip of the tea bowl on the table, thinking about the next plan in his heart.
The senior brother is far away at the border pass, and the obituary of the emperor's death has not yet reached the border pass, but he has already sent someone to deliver the letter day and night.
It's just that the border is too far away from the capital, and I'm afraid it will take two days to get it. Such a long distance is not even possible to reach the book of flying pigeons.
At present, the most important thing is to let the senior brother pay attention to the changes in the border pass, and the chief general guarding the border pass is not without suspicion. The war was about to break out, Yin Kun was a weak scholar, and he didn't know much about marching and fighting, and Gu Chengyu was also afraid that something would happen.
"My lord! You see, there is a person in front of the house, it seems to be Miss Liu! Mingmo saw a slender figure under the lantern in front of the corner gate, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was Liu Su'er.
Gu Chengyu frowned when he heard this, and then remembered that he had received Liu Su'er's incriminating evidence, and at this time, the other party was afraid that he was a little uneasy in his heart.
Today, I was busy catching the assassin, and I didn't leave a letter for the other party. I guess I couldn't bear it, so I came to myself to find out my true purpose.
Liu Su'er pinched the corner of her clothes, feeling a little apprehensive. She also knew that during the state funeral, Gu Chengyu, as a court official, should be very busy.
It's just that Gu Chengyu's attitude was unclear when she left last time, and the incriminating evidence in her hand was taken away by Gu Chengyu, how could she feel at ease?
After thinking about it, I still couldn't rest assured, so I decided to investigate.
