Chapter 264 Panic

Now the entire imperial guards will obey Ling Fengxun's orders.

His order can shake the entire capital.

It can also be seen that Ling Fengxun takes the death of Doctor Gu very seriously.

Old Master Gu's eyes are full of emotion.

"Prince, I kowtow to you. Thank you for making the decision for me!"

The only one in the Gu family who inherited the old master's inheritance is the eldest son, Gu Qin.

The old man attaches great importance to this eldest son. Whether at home or outside, he has a very good reputation. He is filial to his parents

at home and values ​​his wife and children. He is a rare good husband and father among the officials.

Ling Fengxun exerted force to hold Gu Laoxie who was about to continue to salute, and stopped him from saluting.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

Gu Laoxun was very moved, "I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse."

Ling Fengxun heard suppressed crying from the side.

A young woman was kneeling beside the corpse with two half-grown children in her arms, crying bitterly.

One of the two boys looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, and the other was a little younger. They also kept crying while looking at the corpse.

Although the woman's appearance was not outstanding, she had a good temperament.

At first glance, she was also a lady from a wealthy family.

The two children were also very sensible and followed their mother to salute Ling Fengxun.

Ling Fengxun felt a bit of sympathy when he saw this scene.

Old Gu introduced them, "Prince, this is my daughter-in-law Rongyue, and these are my two grandsons Tinger and Fenger."

The woman turned around while kneeling and kowtowed to Ling Fengxun.

"Please, Prince, catch the murderer and avenge my old man!"

A little further away, many concubines and relatives of the Gu family were kneeling.

The Gu family was also a big family. Today, the head of the family was in trouble, and everyone in the mansion came to pay their respects. Most of the people in the Gu family showed a sad look on their faces.

Ling Fengxun nodded slightly: "I will definitely do my best."

The woman's voice was a little choked, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Ling Fengxun comforted her: "Madam Gu, please be patient and obey."

The search troops were everywhere, with Gu Mansion as the center.

The real judge Gu Wen, who was hiding nearby, was so scared when he saw this scene that his face turned pale.

The coachman was guarding the door and saw that his master's face had lost all color.

He whispered: "Master, do you want me to go back and inform Madam and tell the family that you are not dead?"

Gu Wen suddenly raised his head.

He had not slept all night, and his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

"If I tell my family, how will I explain it?"

The reason why people did not doubt that the substitute corpse was not him was because the other party was wearing his clothes and carrying his keepsake.

Even if most of the body was burnt, some external traces could still be seen.

He ran back now and said that he was not dead, then who was the dead person?

In that case, the fact that he left the Gu Mansion in the middle of the night would be known to everyone.

"Besides, if those killers knew that I was not dead, they would definitely come to kill me again. I escaped once, but can I escape the second time?"

The key point is that he did not even know who would kill him.

At this time, he saw many guards starting to clear the streets and walking towards this side in an orderly manner.

Whenever those people passed by a shop, they would rush in quickly, and then search carefully and thoroughly, door to door, and were about to reach the inn here.

Gu Wen's face turned even paler in an instant.

"Hurry up, we can't stay here!"

The coachman was a little confused: "Master, where are we going?"

Gu Wen stood at the door with a very tangled face.

He suddenly found that he had nowhere to go.

He didn't know how these guards would deal with him if they found out that he was the dead doctor Gu.

The only thing he knew was that if he was brought in front of Ling Fengxun now, he would definitely die.

Ling Fengxun would never allow a person with a questionable identity to appear in the Prince of Xian's Mansion. It was only a matter of time before he was exposed.

Moreover, he even suspected that Ling Fengxun had known his secrets, and that he had arranged the assassins. Now there was only one place where he could hide.

"Go to Prince Yu's Mansion!"

Find Concubine Hui

He immediately went downstairs, got back on the carriage, and ran back the same way he had left Concubine Hui's place.

It was already bright.

Concubine Hui was even startled to see him suddenly appear in her room.

Gu came in through the secret door that the two of them had specially opened, and did not go through the main door, so he was not seen by other people in the mansion.

"What are you doing back?"

Concubine Hui immediately became nervous. She looked outside and found that the maid had not come yet, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wanyi, something happened, someone wants to kill me!"

Concubine Hui's face changed in an instant, and she looked at him in disbelief: "Who wants to kill you?"

Doctor Gu shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, but it is very likely that the Regent King has discovered something, so he wants to kill me!"

Now he was panicking.

People were searching for him everywhere outside, and he would definitely die if caught.

Concubine Hui's expression was not very good either: "But you stay with me, what if someone sees you..."

"Now there are Regent King's people everywhere outside, and I will be dead as soon as I show up. Now in the eyes of outsiders, I am already a dead man, and I have nowhere to go. Wanyi, you must help me"

Doctor Gu pleaded.

However, although he had a pleading tone, there was a bit of darkness in his eyes.

If Concubine Hui didn't help, he would certainly threaten her. After all, he held a crucial handle on the other party. If he died, he would definitely drag her to be buried with him.

Concubine Hui obviously understood what he meant.

She lowered her eyes slightly, bit her lip and said, "Then you hide here first, and the rest will be discussed after the storm has passed."

The development of the situation was really beyond the expectations of the two.

The two originally planned to arrange people to create chaos in the palace at the full moon banquet.

Then Concubine Hui would personally steal a child of Ling Fengxun.

In this way, if the Regent King didn't want his child to get into trouble, he would definitely agree to their request.

As long as Ling Fengyan is under control, the throne of Beiling Kingdom will be within reach.

However, such a simple plan is so difficult to implement, and various twists and turns have occurred in the process.

Now even Doctor Gu has been forced to "die".

The murderer is not even known.

Concubine Hui thought about it and suddenly said, "There is a dark room in this mansion. You hide there for the time being. After the matter is over, I will think of other ways."

What she didn't know was that when it was getting dark, the three assassins who went to Gu's mansion last night to assassinate Doctor Gu also appeared in Prince Yu's mansion.

The three people who were kneeling in front of Ling Changyu had sharp eyes and bowed their hands and said, "Your Highness, I am glad to have fulfilled your mission!"
