Chapter 296: Sacrifice Relatives for the Sake of Justice
Perhaps influenced by the integrity of these officials, the people who had kept their doors closed could not help but open them.
Some of them took hoes from home, and some picked up weapons from the ground and joined the battle.
He was shouting while beating.
"I swear to live and die with the prince."
More and more officials and people joined in.
The tremendous momentum and cohesion caused the rebels to retreat step by step, and they soon dispersed and retreated.
At this moment, Chen Hechuan caught Gu Nansheng who was trying to escape.
Next, it was Luo Ziqian and the others’ turn to perform.
He moved quickly and soon dressed up as Gu Wei'ang's confidant. He rode on a horse, shouting all the way, and headed towards the direction of Yong'an Hou.
Gu Jingchun and Ye Wenxi took the other 30% of the troops and all the staff of Tianjing Trading Company, each holding two torches, and quickly surrounded the imperial city.
Behind them was a scarecrow that was quickly erected.
They were densely packed, all holding torches, and there were so many of them that it seemed they could light up half of the night.
Gu Jingchun and Ye Wenxi met up, and they both looked quietly in the direction of the imperial city.
Only after seeing the signal of success did the two men breathe a sigh of relief and immediately led their men towards the palace.
And at this time in the palace.
All the people are tied together.
When Gu Wei'ang saw King Rui trembling with fear, he immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap and started cursing.
"Chen Hechuan, you despicable and sinister villain!"
"It's shameful that they would resort to such despicable means!"
“Hahaha, like father like son, you really have the same black heart as Shen Wanshan. Dacheng will be finished sooner or later if it falls into the hands of someone like you.”
Shen Hechuan chuckled.
"oh?"
"Then do you think that this kingdom will not end if it falls into the hands of this fool beside you?"
Gu Weiang choked and turned his head away, but he continued to curse.
Chen Hechuan couldn't help but scratch his ears.
"It's different without a penis. Even the way he speaks is becoming more and more like a woman!"
Killing someone and breaking his heart, Gu Wei'ang immediately became furious, his face flushed, and he rushed forward angrily, but was held back tightly by the person behind him.
It was at this time that Gu Jingchun hurried over.
When she saw Chen Hechuan, she first looked him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was fine.
When Gu Weiang saw Gu Jingchun, he immediately started cursing.
"Gu Jingchun, you unfilial daughter, actually teamed up with him to deal with your father, you are such a bastard."
Gu Jingchun came back to his senses and frowned immediately after seeing Gu Weiang.
"How come he's still alive?"
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Hechuan with dissatisfaction.
Shen Hechuan was silent for a moment.
Gu Jingchun also understood Shen Hechuan's thoughts.
Perhaps he thought that Gu Weiang was his biological father after all, so he was afraid that she would be sad, so he spared his life.
However, after experiencing all kinds of pain in her previous life, she no longer had any feelings for anyone in the Yong'an Marquis family.
Naturally, I don't care about their life or death.
In Gu Jingchun's opinion, not killing them with his own hands was the greatest tolerance he could show them.
When Gu Weiang heard this, he immediately became furious.
"Gu Jingchun, you bastard, listen to what you are saying.
I am your father, and you actually wanted to kill me. I should have killed you in the beginning..."
But Gu Jingchun didn't pay any attention to her words. Instead, he looked at Chen Hechuan and spoke.
"I know you're doing this for my own good, but without his head, how can we deal with the remaining 40,000 elite soldiers?"
Gu Wei'ang paused, his face turned pale in an instant, and he immediately opened his mouth to curse again.
At this moment, "whoosh" a long arrow flew out of the air and hit Gu Wei'ang directly in the chest.
The sudden movement made all the guards around Shen Hechuan alert at the first moment.
At this critical moment, Chen Hechuan turned around and quickly blocked Gu Jingchun behind him, looking vigilantly in the direction where the arrow was shot.
Gu Wei'ang slowly lowered his head, looked at the arrow in his chest in disbelief, and slowly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then he opened his eyes and fell down in disbelief.
And in his last sight, a man in black slowly descended from the roof.
The hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind, finally revealing his resolute and cold face.
Gu Wei'ang looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face and the bloody mouth, and slowly uttered two words.
“…and…standing…
The man slowly landed on the ground and knelt down under everyone's vigilant gaze.
"I, Gu Erli, came to protect the emperor and came to apologize for being late."
Shen Hechuan looked at the kneeling person and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Gu Erli?"
"Gu Wei'ang's eldest son?"
Gu Erli nodded.
"Your Highness, it is me."
Shen Hechuan couldn't help but stare at him.
"You should be at the border right now. What's your crime for returning to the capital without a reason?"
Chen Hechuan's cold questioning was so powerful that no one else could raise their heads.
But Gu Erli was not afraid at all. He still kept his back straight and explained in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"The reason I hurried back to Tiandu was because I heard that my father had done something wrong and was planning a rebellion. I hurried back to stop him, but I was still a step too late."
He said this with a look of regret on his face.
"However, I know that my father's actions are a heinous crime, so I will personally understand my father and let Your Highness understand my loyalty to you."
"Oh--"
Shen Hechuan snorted coldly.
This man looks cold and hard, but I didn't expect that he can talk.
"What about the second reason?"
Gu Erli looked up upon hearing this, revealing a pair of eyes full of determination.
"The second reason is that I discovered some movement on the border. Da Qi has even sent people to sneak into Da Cheng several times."
"I have submitted petitions many times, but they have all fallen on deaf ears.
"I suspect something happened to the memorial on the way and I'm afraid it might have been detained. That's why I came back in person to deliver it to avoid any delays."
As he spoke, he took out a memorial from his pocket, held it high above his head, and presented it to Shen Hechuan.
Chen Hechuan took the memorial but did not open it.
"I will submit this memorial to my father as soon as possible. Although you have made great contributions in assassinating the Marquis of Yong'an, due to special circumstances, I still want to imprison you. Do you have any objections?"
Gu Erli shook his head.
"I have no objection, but the enemy may invade at any time at the border. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. I need to return as soon as possible."
"Of course, if Your Majesty feels that I am no longer able to handle this important task, please send someone over as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the enemy discovers that the border is deserted, it may cause unnecessary chaos."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan couldn't help but sneer.
Threat, this is a naked threat!!
