Xianzong cleared his throat, calmed himself down, and said to Su Yi: "Don't be afraid, they are just a few petty thieves, nothing will happen to them."
Young Master Su... Is His Majesty comforting him, or comforting himself? With Princess Linglong here, would a few petty thieves really cause such a big commotion?
Xianzong thought about it and felt that just sitting there was not a good idea, so he ordered someone, "Call the imperial physician." Taking advantage of this opportunity, let the imperial physician come and check Su Yi's condition so that he can have an idea of Su Yi's physical condition.
When Gu Xinglang rushed into the front courtyard of the Ministry of Punishment, the courtyard had already been surrounded by imperial guards.
The general of the Imperial Guards who led the team saw Gu Xinglang entering the courtyard and said, "There are people screaming in the dungeon."
Gu Xinglang glanced at the general and quickly walked to the dungeon entrance. As soon as he stood in front of the door, a faint sound came out of the dungeon, which sounded like the howling of a wounded animal.
The general of the imperial guards said, "The princess has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
Gu Xinglang said in a deep voice: "The seven people we just arrested today have committed crimes. You wait outside."
The general saw Gu Xinglang was about to walk into the dungeon, so he reached out and grabbed Gu Xinglang's arm, but failed to stop him. The general looked at his empty hands in shock. His strength was among the best among the generals in Fengjing City, but he was not able to withstand a single blow in front of Gu Xinglang? !
Not long after Gu Xinglang entered the dungeon, Gu Xingnuo arrived with Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei, as well as a team of palace guards. When the general told him that Gu Xinglang had already entered the dungeon, Young Master Gu stood at the entrance of the dungeon with a gloomy face.
Xiao Zhuang said, "Master, shall we go in too?"
The howling sounds were still faintly coming from the dungeon. Everyone knew that the dungeons were filled with humans, so the howling sounds like those of a wounded animal made everyone shudder with fear.
Xiao Wei was startled when he heard the voice and asked Gu Xingnuo in a low voice: "Could it be the medicine man?"
Gu Xingnuo patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder and said to everyone, "Don't go down, we'll wait outside."
Xiao Zhuang became anxious when he heard what Gu Xingnuo said, "What about the Prince Consort?"
Xiao Wei also said, "Master, the Prince Consort has gone in!"
The general of the imperial guards..., he doesn't worry about the princess's life or death, but only about the prince consort?
Gu Xingnuo shook his head and said, "With the princess here, he will be fine."
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei looked at each other and fell silent. They couldn't let the princess protect her husband while also having to protect them, right?
Gu Xinglang ran down the long stairs and reached the first floor of the dungeon. There were five rows of cells here, most of which were empty. The few imprisoned in them were palace servants and eunuchs who had made mistakes. When they heard Gu Xinglang's footsteps coming in, these frightened eunuchs rushed to the cell door, knocking on it and shouting for help.
Gu Xinglang didn't have time to pay attention to these people at the moment. He hurried to the entrance to the second floor of the dungeon. After pushing the door open and going down a few steps, he saw a corpse lying there. Judging from his clothes, he was a eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment.
Gu Xinglang stood on the steps for a while. The long and narrow steps extended all the way underground. The wind blew from underground, carrying a strong smell of blood.
"ah--"
This time it was a woman's scream coming from underground.
You can't bring weapons into the palace, so Gu Xinglang didn't have a sword on him at the moment. He clenched his fists and continued to walk down. The smell of blood in the damp air made Young Master Gu inexplicably excited.
Walking down the last step, Gu Xinglang saw the little woman whom Yu Xiaoxiao called a little goblin.
The young lady saw Gu Xinglang, held up her newly arranged hair bun with her hand, smiled at Gu Xinglang, bent her knees and bowed, and said softly: "My Lord, I am here to pay my respects."
Gu Xinglang looked around. There was no Yu Xiaoxiao's figure, but there were at least seventeen or eighteen corpses on the ground. Blood was all over the floor, and there were large patches of blood splattered on the walls. Even the iron bars of the prison door were not spared.
The old lady who kowtowed to Gu Xinglang and expressed gratitude with tears last night walked out of a cell, dragging a prisoner from the Ministry of Punishment in her hand. It seemed that she was an official in the court.
"My Lord, please save me!" When the prisoner saw Gu Xinglang, he struggled desperately in the old woman's hands and shouted for help to Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang said coldly to the young woman: "Even if you kill all the people in the Ministry of Punishment, you can't escape from the Ministry of Punishment."
The young woman smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, my Lord. You should just worry about yourself."
The old woman dragged the prisoner to Gu Xinglang, grinned at him, and suddenly pushed the prisoner against the prison door.
Gu Xinglang rushed forward to save the criminal official.
When the young woman saw Gu Xinglang taking action, she flew forward and slapped Gu Xinglang with a palm, raising a ball of black powder in her hand.
Gu Xinglang caught a glimpse of the black powder and thought it was bad. He dodged to the side, but he managed to grab the sleeve of the prisoner but failed to save him. The prisoner's head hit the iron fence hard, his brain burst, and he died on the spot.
Gu Xinglang was half covered in blood and white brain matter.
The old woman threw away the body of the criminal official, laughed, and also struck Gu Xinglang with a palm.
Gu Xinglang took a few steps back, knocked open a cell door, and retreated into this cell. He reached out to wipe the blood off his face, which was still warm. He twisted his fingers and half of his fingers were stained red.
The young woman and the old woman rushed into the cell. The smaller the cell, the less space Gu Xinglang could hide in, and the greater their chances of catching Gu Xinglang. This made the two women, one old and one young, happy. Although the situation had changed and they were discovered and caught by Princess Linglong too early, the order from the higher-ups was to get Gu Xinglang. Wasn't this a good opportunity for them to complete their mission?
Gu Xinglang licked his lips. After the blood entered his mouth, it tasted like nectar.
"My Lord, I'm sorry for my crime," the young woman said as she raised her hand and slapped Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang still dodged sideways, his movements were extremely fast, like a phantom.
The young woman was stunned when her attack missed. How could Gu Xinglang, the general on horseback, have such good physical skills?
Gu Xinglang raised his head and looked at the two women in front of him.
The old woman saw Gu Xinglang's red eyes at this time, and she had a bad feeling, but she also felt that Gu Xinglang was reacting out of anger and shame.
The little woman flipped her hand and slapped again. This time, there was a pitch-black spider in her palm, as big as half her palm.
"Don't harm his life!" When the old woman saw the poisonous spider used by the young woman, she shouted at her.
But the little woman screamed at this moment.
The old woman was stunned. She saw a flash before her eyes and her accomplice fell to the ground. When she looked closely again, she found that the young woman's wrist had become limp and was bleeding. The wrist bone was gone!
