After listening to Gu Xingnuo's words, Emperor Xianzong almost fainted and wanted to kick Gu Xingnuo to death, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't even lift them. Emperor Xianzong took another step back, ready to scold Gu Xingnuo to death, but he opened his mouth and no sound came out.
Gu Xingnuo knelt on the ground and told the story. Then Young Master Gu stopped talking and looked as if he was ready to kill him or chop him up and let Emperor Xianzong deal with him as he pleased.
Xianzong was half lying on the couch. The air in the imperial study seemed to be too thin. He felt suffocated and opened his mouth to breathe, but he still felt very suffocated in his heart, and he wished he could cut open his chest.
Gu Xinglang is a medicine man. He was sent to Mo Wen by his biological mother in exchange for his father who died in the war? ! Gu Xinglang is innocent, but what about his daughter? What did his daughter do wrong? Xianzong raised his hands to cover his face. He married his daughter to Gu Xinglang. He married his own daughter to a medicine man! Xu killed her own son, and he killed his daughter. His Majesty Xianzong wanted to cry but had no tears.
Without the singing and dancing that never stopped all night, the imperial palace became too quiet after nightfall.
After a long time, Xianzong finally spoke: "You said Linglong knew about this?"
"Yes," Gu Xingnuo replied.
"Xu deserves to be killed!" Xianzong said again.
This time, Gu Xingnuo kept his head down and said nothing, telling the whole story. Young Master Gu wanted to gain some sympathy from Emperor Xianzong. It was shameless to do so, but for Gu Xinglang, Young Master Gu accepted the shamelessness.
"Everyone has been hiding things from me," Xianzong's voice became increasingly angry, and he said, "Now things are out of control. You've thought of me, but what have you been doing before?!"
Gu Xingnuo pleaded guilty and said, "I am guilty of the death penalty."
Emperor Xianzong really wanted to kill Gu Xingnuo, not just this one, but all the members of the Gu family from top to bottom. Emperor Xianzong staggered from the couch and began to walk around in the imperial study. This was not the time for him to kill people. With his daughter here, he couldn't kill any of the Gu family members. Now he had to think of a way to think about what to do next!
Gu Xingnuo looked at Emperor Xianzong walking in circles with his hands behind his back, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to find those people."
Xianzong sneered, "Find them out? That's easy for you to say. Fengjing City is so big, and the remnants of Zhao Qiu Ming have been caught until now, and some are still at large. You can just catch this group of people?!"
Gu Xingnuo said: "Your Majesty..."
"Shut up," Xianzong said, "Let me think about it."
Gu Xingnuo had no choice but to shut up again.
Xianzong paced back and forth anxiously for a long time, pointed his finger at Gu Xingnuo and said, "Linglong was able to save a man like Gu Ziyang from death, so I'm sure Linglong can also save the life of someone like Gu Xinglang."
Gu Xingnuo smiled bitterly and was moved in his heart. The emperor was not concerned about the whereabouts of the gang of criminals at the moment, but only cared about Gu Xinglang's life. It was pitiful to see the love of parents in the world, even the king of a country was no more than this.
"He can't die," Xianzong said to Gu Xingnuo, "If he dies, I won't be sad. I can find someone who is several times better than him for Linglong, but Linglong will be sad. This girl is too stubborn. She is not like me, nor like her mother!"
Xianzong has countless women around him. Empress Jiang is of a calm nature and can live a good life behind closed doors. Xianzong just can't understand where his daughter learned such a stubborn streak towards Gu Xinglang!
Gu Xingnuo kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong and said, "I thank Your Majesty for not killing Xinglang."
"Ha," Xianzong laughed and said, "I did it for Linglong!"
"Yes, I understand," Gu Xingnuo responded.
Xianzong shook his head and whispered, "As for Xinglang, do your best and leave it to fate." Gu Ziyang is not dead, but what's the point of living with one more breath than a dead person? Xianzong thought at this moment, if Gu Xinglang ends up becoming what Gu Ziyang is now, what will his daughter do? !
Xianzong's words of doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate suddenly made Young Master Gu feel sad. He knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, I regret it now."
Xianzong asked, "What do you regret?"
Young Master Gu said sadly, "I always thought that the fate of those fighting on the battlefield was unpredictable. If anything happened to me and his second brother, Xinglang would have to support the Gu family. So when Xinglang was young, I didn't dare to pamper him too much. I forced him to study and practice martial arts, and didn't let him live a day as he pleased. If I had known this earlier, I would have pampered him, spoiled him, and let him..." Young Master Gu burst into tears when he said this.
Xianzong was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, walked forward, stretched out his hand to pull Gu Xingnuo up from the ground, and said: "What's the point of regretting now?"
Gu Xingnuo raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
Emperor Xianzong sat back on the couch. If it was another emperor, being deceived by his daughter and ministers, he would be furious. Which emperor could tolerate such deception? But Emperor Xianzong was not a self-centered person, or he was not much like an emperor. At this moment, he was thinking about what to do with his daughter and Gu Xinglang, and he really didn't think about the fact that this group of people had deceived him together.
"How about locking up Xinglang first?" After thinking for a long time, Xianzong asked Gu Xingnuo, "If he can't go out, then what does all this murder and arson have to do with him?"
Gu Xingnuo shook his head and said, "If Xinglang doesn't go out, these people will remain dormant in the city. If they can't wait for an opportunity, they will definitely think of other ways. Your Majesty, this group of thugs is a cancer and cannot be left alive."
Xianzong said: "If Xinglang is allowed to walk around freely, how many more people will die in this city? You want to lure the snake out of its hole, but other people's lives are no longer lives? Yanruo, can you guarantee that when these murderers attack again, you can appear in time to save the victims?"
Gu Xingnuo shook his head, he couldn't.
Xianzong now began to dislike the fact that Fengjing City was too large. If it were a small city, he would send people to search house by house, comparing each person with the household registration documents, and this group of foreign criminals would surely not be able to escape. However, this was Fengjing City, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and this tactic was totally unfeasible.
Gu Xingnuo said: "I also don't understand why they chose Liu Shuban's family this time."
Xianzong took out a document from the imperial desk and threw it to Gu Xingnuo.
When Young Master Gu opened the document, he saw that it was the name list used to execute the Zhao family, and the name of Secretary Liu was the last one to be signed.
"The Ministry of Justice is short of staff, so this Liu Shuban was transferred to the Ministry of Justice to help handle Zhao Qiuming's case," Xianzong whispered, "These people are also trying to intimidate me."
Gu Xingnuo looked at the document and said, "Your Majesty, the officials involved in the Zhao Qiu Ming case may be their target."
Xianzong waved his hand and said, "I can order people to strictly protect these people, but Yan Ruo, who to kill is now decided by the gang of thugs. Can we be sure of success by guessing?"
