“Now, it’s just the beginning.”

Looking directly into Yu's eyes, Gu Yanfei spoke very slowly, with the threat evident in his words.

“……” Yu’s eyes widened, unable to hide the panic in them.

She thought the current situation was already the worst moment in her life, but Gu Yanfei actually said that it was just the beginning? Yu wanted to speak, but her throat felt dry and tight.

Gu Yanfei sighed and said: "Next, you will..."

Yu's heart was in her throat. She waited for Gu Yanfei to continue speaking, but what she got was a long silence, an almost suffocating silence.

The other person's pupils that seemed to be soaked in cold water made Yu feel uneasy.

Gu Yanfei chuckled, casually brushed off a piece of fallen leaves from his shoulder, and gently pressed his chest with this action.

When facing Yu, she no longer felt the shackles and oppression that she once had.

"I just came to see the Madam, nothing else." Gu Yanfei turned around without any nostalgia and walked away, "I'll take my leave first."

Gu Yanfei only said half of his words and passed it over lightly, which made Yu even more uneasy.

She wanted to stop Gu Yanfei and let her finish what she was saying, but she felt a little reluctant to let go of her pride.

For Yu, asking her to bow her head to such a wild girl was more difficult than asking her to kneel down.

He Lie and several Jinyiwei looked at Gu Yanfei in astonishment. They didn't expect that the second Miss Gu was really just here to see the wife of the Duke of England.

Yu Chaoyun in the back hall stared at Gu Yanfei's receding back and couldn't help but think of the first time he saw her at the Shanglinyuan Hunting Ground, when he was high above everyone else, surrounded by girls from aristocratic families.

But now, I was locked up here like a bird in a cage, and Gu Yanfei didn't even bother to look at me.

Yu Chaoyun tried hard to suppress his surging emotions, hiding the resentment and resentment in his eyes, and sat still.

No, she still has a chance.

Yu Chaoyun repeatedly told herself to stay calm, as her cousin was there.

My cousin won't ignore her.

Thinking of Fang Mingfeng, a hint of repression and tenderness emerged in Yu Chaoyun's dark eyes. Her cousin was the person she desired the most but could not get.

Yu Chaoyun stood up, went over to support Yu, and whispered, "Don't worry, aunt. Uncle will come sooner or later..."

When she heard her niece mention the Duke of England, Yu was so angry that she blurted out without thinking: "I want to see the Duke of England!"

Yu was angry and resentful, her chest heaving violently, bloodshot eyes, and she felt uneasy in her heart, as if countless ants were gnawing at her: she could not wait any longer.

"He Lie, I am a married woman. The law does not punish married women. You Jinyiwei have no right to force me to stay here."

"I want to go back to the Duke's Mansion!"

"He Lie, the Emperor still respects our Duke Ying's Mansion. You are just a commander of the Jinyiwei, only a third-rank official. You are committing insubordination!"

Yu approached He Lie outside the hall, shouting and trying to overwhelm him with his momentum.

The Duke of Yingzhou's Mansion holds a large number of troops, and even the emperor of the time is wary of them.

Ten years ago, Duke Chengguo beheaded Yang Shineng, the commander of the Five Cities Army, in the street over a disagreement. The late emperor only appeased him by fining him a few months' salary and let him go.

However, He Lie remained unmoved, and sneered disdainfully: "You don't know whether to live or die."

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was indeed only of the third rank, but he was the emperor's confidant. He Lie was certainly not a fool to be able to sit in this position.

He knew very well in his heart: the Yu family was finished.

Even he knew how arrogant and overbearing those so-called noble families in the court were.

The aristocratic families headed by the Yuan family formed a group.

Although the nobles had military power, most of them stood by and watched how the dispute between the emperor and King Kang would end. After all, the emperor was old and frail, while King Kang was young and strong.

It’s hard to say what the future will be like.

Even a rough man like He Lie could see how difficult it was to be an emperor.

The emperor had long wanted to deal with the aristocratic families, but he had no legitimate reason to do so, so he had to find a way to do so before he could take advantage of the situation.

I really didn't expect that the Yu family would hand over the evidence themselves, and the whole capital city knew about it.

Now that public outrage has arisen, no one can protect the Yu family.

He Lie raised his hand and gestured, and the door of the hall closed again.

“Bang!”

The door almost fell on Yu's face.

"He Lie!"

Yu repeatedly called He Lie's name behind the door, but He Lie turned a deaf ear and just coldly ordered several Jinyiwei: "Search this house thoroughly."

"Check it carefully!"

He also said these two sentences to several members of the Yu family in the house.

"Yes, Commander!" The Jinyiwei responded in unison.

He Lie didn't care about the Yu family's reaction and quickly chased in the direction where Gu Yanfei left.

When they reached the ceremonial gate, Gao Yuan hurriedly ran over from the direction of the gate, clasped his fists towards He Lie and said, "Commander-in-chief, the prince of the Duke of Ying is outside and insists on breaking in."

He Lie frowned and said coldly without any emotion: "Stop it."

They, the Jinyiwei, only obey the emperor and are not afraid of the Duke of Ying's Mansion.

Gao Yuan took the order and left, walking as fast as the wind.

Gu Yanfei smiled without saying anything and continued walking forward leisurely.

There was a loud commotion in front of the house's gate, and an unhappy young male voice was heard in the middle:

"Get out of the way, I want to go in!"

Fang Mingfeng, dressed in a sky blue robe, was confronting several Jinyiwei, and the air was full of gunpowder.

There were many people gathered in the alley outside the house, including men, women, old and young, all with worried looks and red eyes.

When Gu Yanfei and He Lie walked to the gate, everyone looked over, including Fang Mingfeng.

"Gu..." Fang Mingfeng looked at Gu Yanfei with complicated eyes. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by an excited female voice.

"Second Miss Gu!" A middle-aged woman rushed forward quickly, rubbing her hands, and asked cautiously at Gu Yanfei, "Have you seen my Shuanzi? He has a mole on his forehead and three white eyes..."

The middle-aged woman's voice trembled slightly, showing her worry for her son and awe for Gu Yanfei, the goddess.

The people who had been waiting eagerly swarmed over and pushed Fang Mingfeng away like the sea.

Most of the people present had lost their children. Rather than the emperor's personal trial, they wanted to know the safety of their children, so they all came over one after another.

But there were Jinyiwei guarding outside the house. They were afraid of the Jinyiwei's majesty and did not dare to ask. They could only wait here.

Gu Yanfei looked at He Lie beside him.

He Lie was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "Second Miss Gu, those children looked a little weak, and some were injured, so I asked someone to invite a doctor to come and take a look at them first."

"Moreover, they are the victims in this case, and we have to get their confession first before we can release them." He Lie said patiently.

Even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen a pig run.

Gu Yanfei also understood that the Jinyiwei might still have some details to interrogate these children. He turned to the middle-aged woman and smiled, comforting her: "Don't worry, the children are all fine."

When she smiled, she was pure and beautiful, like a spring breeze. The slender girl formed a sharp contrast with the tall and cold Jinyiwei around her.

The middle-aged woman and other people also heard what He Lie said, but compared to the notorious Jinyiwei, they naturally preferred to believe Gu Yanfei's words.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help crying and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you Miss Gu!"

She wished she could go back and set up a longevity tablet for Gu Yanfei, wishing her a long and healthy life.

Gu Yanfei looked around at the other people in the back and said loudly, "Everyone, don't worry. Commander He will have people take good care of those children."

He Lie made a promise in public: "After the Jinyiwei finishes questioning, everyone can go to the Northern Pacification Office to pick up the people tomorrow."

Normally, He Lie, as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, would not explain so much to the people. But now he has to support Gu Yanfei, so naturally he has to do this matter beautifully.

These words were spoken loudly and spread throughout the entire Wutong Lane, which was equivalent to giving the people present a reassurance.

They choked up and thanked Gu Yanfei and He Lie again with sincere words.

More and more people were walking along the streets outside from Wutong Lane. Many passers-by saw Jinyiwei Feng's mansion from afar, and saw a lot of people outside the mansion, so they ran over excitedly to watch the fun and to find out what had happened.

The people who had lost their children were now grateful to the emperor. They told him everything and also mentioned that the emperor was currently trying the suspect in the case at Chengtian Gate.

Some people also spoke admiringly about how the Second Miss Gu removed the poisonous insect for the eldest princess and punished the evil Taoist Shangqing, praising her as if she were a deity who had descended to earth.

The crowd watching was immediately shocked, thinking that this case was truly horrifying.

What’s more, the suspect is actually the head of the Yu family, a prominent family that has existed for hundreds of years.

Everyone knows that the Geng family was once a top-notch family and was very prominent. In the previous dynasty, there was even a joke that the Yu family and the royal family shared the world, and that emperors of every generation had the blood of the Yu family.

The people surrounding Yu's house gradually dispersed, and more and more people rushed to Chengtian Gate to see what was going on.

One person spreads it to ten, ten spread it to a hundred, a hundred spreads it to a thousand...

However, within just one or two hours, the entire capital was in an uproar.

For a time, almost everyone in Beijing was paying attention to the progress of this matter.

The same is true for Prince Kang Chuyou.

He was sitting in the Qingjiang Tower on Chang'an West Street. From his private seat on the second floor, he could only see the sea of ​​people from Chang'an Right Gate to Chengtian Gate.

He frowned, raised his head and drank two glasses of wine in a row, emitting a gloomy and unhappy aura.

As soon as the drum for reporting the incident was struck, Chu You immediately left his house and came to Qingjiang Tower. From time to time, someone came to report the whole incident to him.

Chu You also waited and watched from the beginning, but now his heart has sunk to the bottom...
