A group of people came to the government office.
The attendants helped Lord Yan get out of the car, and Eunuch Cao followed closely behind.
Qi Hou led everyone to the auditorium.
Gu Zhenbei had just left and the white banners at the government office had not yet been taken down.
Eunuch Cao was puzzled: "Who died in the mansion?"
Qi Hou turned around, glanced at the two of them, lowered his eyelids and said, "You will know after you go in."
As soon as the door of the auditorium was opened, light shone in instantly, like a sudden brightness in the dark night.
As Lord Yan stepped into the room, he saw the tablet placed in the middle.
Written on it were three big characters: Gu Zhenbei.
Eunuch Cao was also shocked: "What on earth is going on?"
...
...
Why didn't anyone tell him in advance?
Lord Yan looked around, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
He didn't believe that Gu Zhenbei was dead.
He raised his voice and said: "If General Gu fakes his death, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor!
If General Gu appeared at this moment, I would pretend that I had never seen what is before my eyes. ”
Eunuch Cao looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that the upright Yan Li would actually cover up for others.
"Sir Governor, there is no need to test me. My father is indeed dead.
Someone from Beijing came to commit the crime. My father was injured in the abdomen and died of poisoning. ”
Gu Shijie's arm was still wrapped in a piece of sackcloth.
He pointed to the clay pot next to the memorial tablet.
"The pottery jar contains his ashes."
Yan Li was also a little confused at this moment. The sadness in Gu Shijie's eyes did not seem fake.
What's more, the white banners in the city would take more than half an hour to prepare.
Lord Yan closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Master Gu, please accept my condolences."
"Please allow me to burn a stick of incense to General Gu."
Gu Shijie ordered people to prepare incense.
After Lord Yan finished offering incense, he said in a deep voice, "I thought that you would be vindicated one day, but I didn't expect you to die in the hands of a villain."
"Has the murderer been caught?"
Gu Shijie said hoarsely: "I caught him. He is Zheng Shuyu, the former riverbank commander. He divorced his first wife's family, the He family."
Gu Shijie did not hide anything and told the whole story of He's sudden entry into the city and her plan to poison and kill people.
Lord Yan was shocked and asked, "All the members of the He family are dead? What can we find out from the interrogation?"
Gu Shijie said: "The He family said that it was Elder Zhang who ordered them to assassinate the deposed crown prince, but they got the wrong person."
Lord Yan: "Then the deposed crown prince..."
Gu Shijie shook his head: "Nothing, just a dazed look.
My grandmother was worried that something might happen to him, so she ordered someone to look after him. ”
When Eunuch Cao heard that Gu Zhenbei had died, he was originally happy.
But he didn't expect that it was actually ordered by Lord Zhang, and Gu Shijie also told Yan Li to listen.
This is bad.
How is he going to report back to Beijing?
Lord Yan did not back down either: “I have come all the way to the border just to deliver the deposed crown prince’s message.
There is absolutely no reason to refuse the order. ”
As soon as Lord Yan finished speaking, Madam Gu walked into the auditorium.
"I will accept the order on behalf of my grandson."
Xiao Jingzhou was demoted to a commoner, but Madam Gu's words did not disrespect the royal dignity.
Eunuch Cao said, "That won't do. Your Majesty has made a solemn promise that the deposed Crown Prince must personally receive the order."
Madam Gu said, "I am the biological mother of Empress Xiaoxian. Am I not as good as a commoner like the deposed crown prince?"
Eunuch Cao was suddenly speechless.
Empress Xiaoxian and Your Majesty met when they were young.
His Majesty ascended the throne and treated Madam Gu like his own mother.
Eunuch Cao couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
He looked at Lord Yan, and an idea flashed through his mind.
Things are different now. Although the Gu family is valued by His Majesty, they are still suffering in the north.
He said, "The old lady is wrong."
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and has long since left the rural world.
I'm afraid what you said is inappropriate. ”
The implication is that Madam Gu regards herself as the emperor's mother-in-law.
Madam Gu smiled and said, "So that's how it is?"
"Then I'll trouble you, sir, to ask His Majesty if he still remembers the promise and the decree he wrote in person.
If he can't remember, tell him that the token is still in my hands. ”
Lord Yan also realized that Madam Gu was not going to back down.
He received the emperor's order and was about to leave Zhiyi City and return to the capital to report.
After the two left.
Gu Shijie asked, "Grandmother, why don't you let His Highness receive the order?"
Madam Gu said, "Who dares to disobey your majesty's order?"
"What's more, they are father and son."
If the prince ascends the throne in the future and this matter is dug up, it would be considered disloyalty and unfilial.
She couldn't let the child left behind by her daughter suffer such injustice again.
Madam Gu clenched the cane in her hand and had other plans in mind.
The two returned to the backyard, and Xiao Jingzhou hurried back from the general's mansion.
After Lu Chen informed Xiao Jingzhou that someone was coming from the capital, he rushed to the general's residence, but he came to nothing.
By the time he reacted, he returned to the government office but did not see the person who delivered the imperial edict.
Xiao Jingzhou was not stupid. He guessed that someone wanted to get rid of him.
The only person who had the brains and the ability to accomplish this was his grandmother.
The old lady handed the imperial edict to him and patted his hands.
"You have an idea of what to do."
"I'm old now, this is the only thing I can do for you."
"From now on you'll have to rely on yourself."
After saying that, the old lady asked Gu Shijie to help her back to the house.
Xiao Jingzhou waited for a moment and glanced at Lu Chen: "Withhold the snacks for half a year."
"Ah?" Lu Chen looked pale.
His toffee, jelly, and hawthorn slices.
Potato chips, spicy strips, and chicken bones.
Just left him like that.
Lu Chen still wanted to save the situation, but when he saw Xiao Jingzhou's expression, he couldn't say anything.
He could only lower his head and look at the ground.
…
21st century.
Jiang Zhenyu performs the final step on the makeup box, wiping it clean and polishing it.
She handed over the makeup box and signed to complete the restoration work.
She thought that the matter was over, and Han Zhenzhen could not use any tricks to use her as a stepping stone to advance in the circle.
But she still underestimated the bad nature of human beings.
When she received the call from the quality inspection staff, she was completely numb.
“Why wasn’t there any problem when I handed it in?”
"Three quality inspectors signed, could it be fake?"
The staff member paused, and before hanging up the phone, asked her to go to the city museum.
Jiang Zhenyu had no choice. Her own reputation was a small matter, but she couldn't ruin Master Gu's reputation.
Her senior brothers and sisters are still working in the circle.
What's more, she is upright and has nothing to fear; not all dirty water can be thrown at her.
When she arrived at the museum, Director Qin and several leaders were all sitting in the restoration room.
Director Qin said earnestly: "Xiao Jiang, you can't just ignore my opinion and not take the restoration of cultural relics seriously."
Jiang Zhenyu ignored him and looked at Deputy Director Zhang: "What's the problem with the makeup box?"
Deputy Director Zhang handed her a pair of gloves and said, "Look for yourself."
Jiang Zhenyu put on gloves and checked the repaired area.
She put down her makeup box and sneered, "Are you treating man-made damage as a repair failure?"
Director Qin slammed the table and pointed at Jiang Zhenyu, saying, "Xiao Jiang, watch your attitude when you speak!"
Before Jiang Zhenyu could speak, the door of the restoration room was pushed open.
The person outside the door said coldly: "Have you asked me before bullying her?"
