"To change your name, you need a household registration form. How did you do that when you were born into a peasant family and were a Jinshi at the end of the previous dynasty?"
Guo Silang was shocked and asked curiously.
At this moment, Wei Taiwei's face turned ashen. Looking at Gu Shaoyu, he really wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death. However, the swords of the Huben Army were pointed at him. He was afraid that he would be chopped into meat paste before he could even reach Gu Shaoyu.
Afterwards, Gu Shaoyu continued to speak calmly.
"Speaking of which, your Wei family, oh no, Zhou family also has some bloodlines that like to occupy other people's positions, otherwise how could there be a Madam Wei and Princess Fu in succession? They all climbed up by stepping on the corpses of others, completely disregarding their face. Now it seems that they have inherited your true teachings."
"Because Zhou Chuanbing once married Wei, who was from Lingzhou."
No one in the Wei family knew about these things at all. To hear Gu Shaoyu talk about them, it seemed like a fairy tale. So Wei Jiaheng, who was still able to move, looked at his grandfather with surprise and asked.
"Grandfather, is your last name really Zhou?"
His words were also what the other members of the Wei family wanted to ask. Although they had also gained a lot of benefits over the years as the Taiwei Mansion rose and fell, they had always claimed to be an honest family and the light of the humble family. But now it seemed that their life experience was stolen, and it was no wonder that there would be a series of disgusting practices later.
General Wei's life story was exposed in public, which was like salt rubbed into the wound. Now people looked at him not only as a traitor, but also as an ungrateful traitor who usurped the throne. The disdainful and contemptuous looks made him seem to return to the Zhou family, the farming family he once was.
As a result, the evil anger that had been pent up in his chest suddenly surged up, and then his eyes turned black and he was about to fall to the ground unconscious.
Guo Silang never expected that this Wei Taiwei, who looked like a decent man, actually had such a secret, so he was dizzy and had to catch the one who should be caught.
All members of the Wei family were arrested one by one.
As for Wei Taiwei, Wei Mingxian and Wei Jiaheng, as the main culprits in the case of the crown prince's restoration of the country in the previous dynasty, they were naturally detained and interrogated in solitary confinement.
At this point, more than a dozen prison vans left the Taiwei Mansion, and the Wei family, which was powerful and could be considered a prominent family, was wiped out, and even the married daughters and nieces of the Wei family were all implicated!
This naturally included Madam Wei, everyone in the Western Garden, and Princess Fu.
If Prince Fu was not the king's uncle and Prince Fu's son was not of royal blood, they would have been implicated as well. Therefore, the mother and daughter who were planning to kill sister-in-law Liu and Ping'er yesterday, now met in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
They never dreamed that retribution would come so quickly, so cruelly and so severely.
When they saw and heard the cold floor, the messy cell, and the wailing of countless Wei family members around them, the two men finally woke up from their dream and began to cry out that they were wronged.
It's a pity that there is no one in this world that they can rely on anymore. What awaits them is only a list of crimes and the final punishment.
After dealing with the crown prince of the previous dynasty and the Wei family, Gu Shaoyu stopped and went back to the palace.
However, his brutal methods quietly spread to the ears of the major mansions and common people in Sui'an City. The people here were not from Cezhou, who were used to the decadence and prosperity, so those who heard it were terrified.
Therefore, everyone thought that they must be respectful when they meet people from the General's Mansion in the future, otherwise if Gu Shaoyu took revenge, they would be dead.
At this moment, Du Jingyi didn't know that because of her husband's "reputation", she would be a character who could not be messed with in the noble circle in the future. Even the royal family members greeted her with a smile and were particularly polite.
Of course, this is all later.
When night fell again, the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion were filled with a sense of decadence, as if the end was near.
The Seventh Prince’s mansion was in a mess.
The Seventh Prince's wife and the Zhao family were captured by the Queen's people in the name of regicide. They were dragged away, so naturally a lot of traces were left behind. At this moment, the Seventh Prince was in a state of unrest, sitting in the yard trembling, and was helpless.
He was not a smart man to begin with. Now the news coming from the palace was that the imperial concubine had killed the emperor and attempted to assassinate the queen. Under such circumstances, she was naturally sentenced to death, and all the forces cultivated by the imperial concubine in the palace were also eliminated. At this moment, he didn't know what to do or what not to do.
He wanted to find his fourth brother to discuss something, but he couldn't even get out of the door.
The entrance was guarded by guards, so there was no way to escape.
Not only was he miserable, the Fourth Prince's mansion was not much better. For the entire day, no news had been received. The entrance was also heavily guarded, and those sent to guard it were all the Crown Prince's men. Even if he used the prince's majesty, it was useless.
He was so angry that he smashed things in the mansion for a while to vent his anger. Finally, he placed all his hopes on the Dingping Marquis Mansion. He and they were originally people in the same boat, so for their benefit, he had to solve the current problem.
There is martial law everywhere in Sui'an City.
The original deputy generals of the Gyeonggi Division were detained by the prince's order. If they disobeyed, they would be punished for treason, which was a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan. Therefore, even if those people were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to say anything.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The more than 200,000 Tiger and Leopard Army surrounded Sui'an City, as if they had put an iron armor on the imperial city. No one could enter or leave freely, which prevented a lot of trouble.
The people in the City Defense Department are all the prince's subordinates. They have been turned back to protect the East Palace and the Imperial City together with the Royal Guards, so there is no shortage of manpower.
In the imperial palace, where the coffin is kept.
The Crown Prince and Queen Guo were both dressed in plain mourning and looked haggard. They had been guarding here for a day and a night. When Gu Shaoyu, Guo Silang and others who had just returned from fighting outside came in, the Crown Prince immediately asked.
"Is everything settled?"
"Your Highness, the forces cultivated by the previous prince have all been eradicated and controlled. Fu Yanhui is dead, the entire Wei family has been imprisoned, and the Left Assistant Minister of Jin unfortunately died in the fight. All the others who participated in this incident are now under arrest and are awaiting the disposal of Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen!"
After hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Guo Xiang, who was standing nearby, also spoke in a comforting tone.
"As expected of a descendant of the Gu family, you are able to protect the royal family's peace at critical moments!"
"Your Excellency, you are too kind. The Crown Prince is destined by heaven. I am only following heaven's will and being loyal to Daxing!"
In a word, he actually shirked a lot of credit for his own achievements. At this moment, the prince still needs to rely on Gu Shaoyu, so naturally he should give him more credit! (End of this chapter)
