His tone was low and his words were ambiguous.
asshole!
Gu Qing bit her lip and said nothing in silence.
At the same time, there was a rustling sound outside the wall.
“Here it comes!”
Gu Qing put aside his previous temper and stared at the brick on the wall.
After a moment, the brick was pulled out, and a hand stretched out from the other side of the wall. The letter was taken away with extremely fast movements, and everything was restored to its original state.
After everyone had completely left, Gu Qing said to Chen Zhizhou, "You can go back now, but be careful and avoid everyone."
"no problem!"
Chen Zhizhou is a martial arts expert, and these are nothing to him.
The two of them slipped back into the yard quietly.
"When did you start raising pigeons?"
Chen Zhizhou watched her take out a snow-white pigeon from the cage under the eaves and asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing smiled mysteriously and threw it upwards gently.
The white dove flew straight out of the yard as if it had been trained thousands of times.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Qing blinked at him and said in suspense: "You will know in a moment."
…
As the night deepened, a dark cloud suddenly floated over the sky above Chen Mansion, covering the bright moon hanging high in the sky.
The strong wind blew, howling and making people feel numb.
Suddenly, a beam of fire shot up into the sky, and accompanied by heavy, noisy footsteps, a crowd appeared outside the courtyard wall behind the Chen Mansion.
"Sir, they are there!"
The man who had previously come into contact with Pei'er led the officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple and immediately noticed the two sneaky figures about to jump into the mansion.
"Catch them!"
The leading officer gave the order in a cold voice.
The subordinates behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded the two black shadows.
"Look, sir, I'm not wrong!"
The man smiled flatteringly.
The officer ignored him with a stern face and said to his men, "Take the man away."
"You dare!"
The captured woman opened her mouth coldly, with a fierce aura and a look of disdain looking down on everyone.
"I advise you to let us go, or I'll make sure you're in big trouble when we get to Dali Temple!"
"You are delusional."
The officers and soldiers looked sarcastic and said, "As suspects, you two refused to cooperate with the Dali Temple's investigation and instead sneaked out in secret. What was your intention?"
"Thank goodness I'm not letting you go to jail! How dare you speak so brazenly? Do you want to get a good beating first?"
"you……"
The woman's face turned pale.
"What happened?"
A question from behind interrupted their argument.
Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou were seen walking in front, followed by the Dali Temple officials who were guarding the front yard.
"Princess? Prince Mu? What's going on with you? Why were you detained for no reason?"
Gu Qing pretended to be panicked, his face full of surprise.
When the officers and soldiers who had just been making subtle sarcasm heard her words, confusion appeared in their eyes.
Aren’t the people he arrested the third young master and young mistress of the Gu family?
The princess and Prince Mu?
At this moment, he only felt his scalp tightening, and he didn't even have the courage to look back at the two of them.
"Hmph, what else can I say! I heard about you and learned that you were imprisoned in the mansion, so I thought of coming to see you. My brother was worried about me and came along too. Who would have thought that as soon as I arrived at your backyard, I would be detained by such a group of people, and they kept saying that they would take me to jail!"
"This princess has never encountered anything like this in the past ten years. This is simply outrageous!"
Mu Xin echoed Gu Qing's sentiments, clamoring for an explanation from the Dali Temple Minister.
"Let's go now. This princess wants to see if the Dali Temple has lost its law and how the Dali Temple Minister actually manages things!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man who filed the complaint turned around and tried to run away, but was stopped by Chen Zhizhou, who had remained silent.
Chen Zhizhou grabbed him by the collar and threw him heavily to the ground.
"Princess, please calm down. It's my fault for not recognizing a great man and offending you..."
The officers and soldiers were speechless after offending this young lady. They caught a glimpse of the man holding his chest and crying out in pain, and immediately blamed everything on him.
"It's him!"
"It's all because of this bastard! He lied to us, saying that Master Chen and Madam Chen had sneaked out of the house without permission, attempting to destroy the evidence. That's why we offended you two!"
As he said this, he was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped the man in the face, swinging it in a circle and giving him several big slaps.
The man was beaten so hard that several of his teeth fell out, his mouth was full of blood, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
He couldn't figure it out until his death. The news that was spread was clearly not like that. Didn't it say that Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou went out? But why did the two people come out of the mansion, and it was the Mu family's son and princess who were caught?
Mu Xin said coldly, but still didn't let go.
So, in the middle of the night, Lord Zhu, the Minister of Dali Temple, crawled out of bed for the second time and sat in the hall with a sleepy face.
"Master Zhu has such great authority! If you don't give me an explanation today, no one will be able to escape unscathed!"
Mu Xin has always been spoiled by his family. In addition, due to his noble status, no one dares to provoke him easily, and he has developed a fearless character.
Now all that’s left is to point at Lord Zhu’s nose and scold him.
Lord Zhu looked at the prince and princess in the hall and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. The remaining sleepiness he felt was completely gone.
"What on earth is going on here?"
He frowned and silently asked the master beside him.
The lawyer came over and whispered the whole story in detail.
"idiot!"
Lord Zhu cursed inwardly, but he put on a flattering smile and spoke soft words.
Mu Xin didn't buy his words at all. She still had a cold face and snorted coldly at the chair that Lord Zhu had sent.
"I heard that you've been dragging your feet on this Chen family case. Today, with this princess here, you should conduct a thorough investigation. If there's anything wrong, this princess will have my brother report you!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Lord Zhu agreed repeatedly, not daring to raise any questions, and ordered someone to bring the Cui couple over that night.
Chen Zhizhou's eyes moved back and forth between Mu Xin and Lord Zhu, and he seemed confused.
It seems that Mu Xin has no idea about Mr. Zhu's real identity?
She made things difficult for him in every way. If she wasn't acting, then it meant that Mu Hou or Mu Zheng had never told her.
…
As the first rays of dawn rose, the Cui couple, Gouzi and his mother, and Widow Wang were summoned in together.
The outside of the yamen was filled with people watching the show, pointing and talking at the people inside, and the chattering was so noisy that it was annoying.
"What's going on?"
"Court is being held so early in the morning. Is there something important going on?"
The people were excited and couldn't wait.
Lord Zhu slammed the gavel in annoyance before starting the main topic.
Without waiting for the Cui couple to speak, Gu Qing spoke first, explaining the clues he had discovered in the past two days and pointing out the strange places one by one.
Gou Zi and his mother also nodded in cooperation and came forward to testify.
