Chapter 155 Wanted Criminal
There are only Rong Qi and Rong Xing left in the entire family, so it is normal that they are not very good at communicating with others.
Gu Feixue was very curious as to why the Rong family was the only branch left of the Shennong clan, but since this was someone else's family affair, she naturally couldn't ask too much.
What Gu Feixue didn't know was that the reason why the Shennong tribe had so few people was not natural, but because they had experienced something unusual back then.
The residence of the Sixth Prince in the capital.
"Report! Master, our people have captured a carrier pigeon in the Prince's residence!"
Yuchi She's expression froze, and he immediately asked:
"Is it the homing pigeon bred by the prince?"
I only heard the next person shaking his head and saying:
"No, it's a carrier pigeon I've never seen before. It seems to be flying from the north."
"Our people caught the pigeon in a net and didn't hurt it. The pigeon even had something stuck to its feet."
Yuchi Shuo narrowed his eyes, then waved his hand and asked someone to present the things.
"What's this?"
There was no information on the letter paper, but three paintings instead.
The painting was not like an ordinary landscape painting, but a style that Yuchi She had never seen before.
The first one seemed to be a group of people surrounding a carriage, the second one was a little man with a cloud on his head and a weapon in the cloud. The third one was even stranger, it actually had a lantern.
What do these three paintings mean?
Yuchi She subconsciously felt that there was some important information in this painting, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue.
At this time, his subordinates suddenly came to report.
"Master, the Prime Minister requests an audience."
Yuchi She showed impatience when he heard this. What was he doing here?
Hasn’t the other party been searching for the Gu family in the capital these days?
Thinking that the two sides could still cooperate, Yuchi She put the paintings into his sleeves, and then asked someone to invite Prime Minister Wei in.
"Prime Minister, I haven't seen you for a few days. I hope you are well."
The two exchanged a few polite pleasantries before getting down to business.
"What is the matter with the Prime Minister coming today?"
After saying this, Yuchi She saw a hint of displeasure on the face of the prime minister opposite him.
"Sixth Prince, my men have been detained at a secret gate in the capital. Are you aware of this?"
Yuchi She widened his eyes and shook his head:
"I don't know, but what happened?"
He said so on the surface, but secretly cursed the other person in his heart.
A few days ago, Prime Minister Wei's men broke into the secret gate garrison in the capital, trying to find out about the Gu family, but were detained by his secret gate men.
Not to mention the other party's excessive behavior, this behavior clearly shows that they do not trust him and think that he is intentionally concealing the news about the Gu family.
This capital city is not Wei Zhongxian's territory.
No matter what, Yuchi She is still a prince, so naturally he will not let him go.
However, Yuchi She did not expect that he would be found so soon. He thought he could be detained for a few more days.
Seeing Yuchi She's expression, the Prime Minister did not intend to pretend with him.
"Sixth Prince! We are in the same boat. If you haven't investigated the whereabouts of the Gu family these days, I have reason to suspect that you already knew about their whereabouts!"
"I lost forty elite soldiers in Jiangzhou, and that is also your loss, Sixth Prince!"
After hearing this, Yuchi She finally understood. He wondered why this old man was so impatient this time.
It turned out that he had no one under his command, and he had detained two of them at this critical moment.
"Prime Minister, please be patient. You have truly misunderstood me. If I had any information, I would have told you immediately. Why would I hide it?"
"As for the people who detained the Prime Minister, they were ignorant men. I will let them go now."
This old guy has gained a lot of benefits by taking advantage of his convenience over the years, but he is becoming less and less aware of his own weight and dares to break into his secret door privately.
If the other party did not possess the murderous aura of witchcraft and the two sides did not have a thin layer of blood relationship, he would not cooperate with him. An official like Gu Lang is obviously easier to control.
It was rumored that the mother of the sixth prince was the prime minister's sister, but only a few people knew that his mother was the concubine of the prime minister's eldest brother. The real daughter of the prime minister's mansion had committed suicide before entering the palace for the selection.
His mother's identity was fake, so his relationship with this fake uncle was naturally not that strong.
The other party thought he was untrustworthy and did not even consider whether he was trustworthy. He first plotted something evil in Liangcheng, and his secret door had not been discovered in the past few years.
This time he secretly sent people to assassinate the Gu family, even though the Gu family was no longer in the court and could not pose any threat to the prime minister.
But the other party killed them all. There must be something fishy about this. It might be related to the fact that the Prime Minister's men have been wandering around Liangcheng in recent years.
These thoughts flashed through Yuchi She's mind, but the smile on his face became more intimate.
Although Prime Minister Wei looked down on the Sixth Prince, for the sake of his plan, he had to play along with him and they had a very pleasant conversation.
In the following time, the two did not mention the Prime Minister's men breaking into the secret door at all, as if this incident had never happened.
After the prime minister left, when the servants came forward to ask what to do with the intercepted carrier pigeon, Yuchi She remembered the three paintings in his sleeve.
When he opened it again, some important information suddenly flashed by.
I remembered what the Prime Minister had just said, that he lost forty death warriors in Jiangzhou.
Then he looked at the first painting for a moment, and sure enough, his guess was right.
This first painting actually depicts the scene of the Prime Minister's assassins besieging the Gu family!
Yuchi She counted them and found that there were exactly forty black figures.
The carriage surrounded inside was obviously the one belonging to the Gu family. According to the information sent by the people at the secret door, the entire Gu family went to the governor's mansion to attend the Luming Banquet.
In the end, they returned halfway, and Gu Tingchuan and Gu Lang were injured and went to the pharmacy for treatment.
In this painting, there are mountains, forests, and carriages. It is obvious that the Gu family was assassinated by the prime minister's men who were ambushing in the mountains.
He knew nothing about the Prime Minister's assassination of the Gu family from the beginning to the end, and he had no idea why.
This was later when the Gu family's affairs in Jiangzhou were exposed and the Prime Minister took the initiative to inform him, and he only learned about this.
He also learned that the governor and prime minister of Jiangzhou were interested in communicating with each other.
And now this carrier pigeon flying to the Prince's Mansion has tied to its feet the image of the assassination that no one else could know about. What does this mean?
This means that the person who painted the picture is most likely related to the Gu family.
The other party is either someone arranged by Yuchi Shuo in Jiangzhou, or the Gu family itself!
As for the second picture, Yuchi She still couldn't understand what the weapon in the cloud meant.
But this is no longer important. Knowing that the content of the letter is related to the Gu family, Yuchi She made a decision in his heart.
Afterwards, Yuchi She had the letter rolled up again, tied to the pigeon's feet, and quietly released it back to Yuchi Shuo's residence.
The carrier pigeon circled in the air, seemed to have identified the direction, and flew towards the villa where Yuchi Shuo was.
At the same time, the Gu family was also passing through Linzhou smoothly and arrived at the pass of Beizhou.
However, shocking news came from Jiangzhou.
Gu Tingchuan, the top scorer in the Jiangzhou imperial examination, became a wanted criminal by the government. Portraits of his family members were posted on government bulletin boards of all sizes in Jiangzhou, causing a great earthquake in the entire Jiangzhou student community.
This news spread like wildfire and soon reached Liangcheng.
