Chapter 288: Gu Jing goes to see the prince...
"Gu Jingzhi, as an official appointed by the imperial court, are you going to disregard the law?"
"Even if we are sentenced to death, we must report it to the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. You are taking human life lightly, you..."
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Haven't you been beaten enough?"
Gu Jingzhi scratched his ears and said, "Do you know what the right to act at your own convenience is? This marquis has it in his hands... If I don't kill you, how can the people behind you come out?"
"Old Liu..."
"Tie all seven of them up and take them to Caishikou tomorrow. Gag them and don't give them a chance to speak. Chop them down at noon!"
……
next day!
The backyard of the government office.
"Hurry, just one more sip and it's all!"
Gu Jingzhi held a bowl and placed a spoon next to Chen Yu's mouth. Although many maids and servants were watching, Chen Yu still held the spoon with a happy face.
Seeing Chen Yu drink the soup, Gu Jingzhi scooped another spoonful, and Chen Yu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Husband, didn't you say this was the last bite? Why is there still so much? If I keep eating like this, I'll be fat in a few days!"
"You've been working so hard! Those two little guys really gave you a hard time yesterday!"
As he said this, he turned his gaze to the two little kids.
Although he said this, his eyes were full of love. These two little guys were the continuation of his and Chen Yu's lives.
Chen Yu also turned around and looked at the two children with tenderness on his face.
The couple did not shy away from the presence of servants and spoke whatever they thought. Tao'er and Jian'er felt very jealous when they saw this scene.
They are now Gu Jingzhi's concubines. Although they have never been treated harshly in the mansion, the two of them combined are still no match for Chen Yu, especially since Chen Yu has now given birth to a pair of children for Gu Jingzhi.
Chen Yao spent the whole morning in the backyard.
He was either talking to his wives and concubines, or busy holding children.
It was not until after noon when Mr. and Mrs. Lin came to the house that Gu Jingzhi calmed down. Seeing Gu Jingzhi holding two children in each hand, Mrs. Lin's eyes melted.
"Hey, my two little darlings, come and let me see them. I've missed you so much after not seeing you all night..."
"..."
Gu Jingzhi shook his head in amusement, then carefully placed the child in Mrs. Lin's hands.
"Grandma, please rest here for a while and have dinner at your house later. I have something to do and will be back soon!"
"Just mind your own business. You're just causing more trouble here anyway..."
"..."
Gu Jingzhi said that he was very melancholy!
After comforting his wife with a few words, he turned and left the house. Liu Sandao stood up immediately.
"grown ups!"
It turned out that he came here with Old Man Lin, but it was inconvenient for him to enter the backyard, so he sat at the stone table outside and waited.
Gu Jingzhi glanced at him and asked, "Is everything done?"
"Yes! All the murderers have been dealt with!"
"Okay! Then I should go to that mansion and take a look!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled faintly!
……
Compared to the harmonious and harmonious life at Gu Jingzhi's house, the prince's house was a bit messy!
For some unknown reason, the prince's concubine, Cong, had a miscarriage today.
This scene made the prince feel distressed. He didn't leave Cong's house for the whole morning. If the maids and servants were not careful in their service, they would be scolded!
When Gu Jingzhi arrived and asked to see him, the prince frowned and asked, "What is he doing here at this time?"
The two of them had a rift because of Cong. It wasn't a big deal originally, but the prince was proud of his status and never lost face, and Cong kept sticking to him and he couldn't get away.
What's more, Gu Jingzhi went out frequently, so the gap between the two of them had never been resolved.
As time went by, he forgot about it. Even though he knew that Gu Jingzhi's wife was about to give birth last night, he did not let anyone in the house say congratulations, mainly because there was no time.
After all, his beloved concubine had a miscarriage!
Other people gave birth to babies, but his child had a miscarriage. The comparison is so unpleasant!
However, Qiao Shuwan came in person once.
Now, hearing that Gu Jingzhi was coming, he was also a little surprised, but even so, his concubine...
He said, "Tell him that I'm busy today and can't meet him. I'll come to him in person another day!"
"But my lord, Marquis Xiling said that this matter concerns your future, this..."
future?
The prince was stunned for a moment, then his whole body trembled slightly. He asked anxiously, "Did he really say that?"
"Ok!"
The maid nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for? Go serve the tea first, I'll be there soon!"
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Cong, saying, "Qin'er, I have to go over first. You should take a good rest. Don't be too sad about the child. We will have one in the future!"
"Husband..."
Cong felt aggrieved, and even made sounds of clasps, while holding the prince's sleeves with both hands.
Although the prince felt distressed, he still patted the back of her hand and said, "You wait here for your husband. He will come over to accompany you after the matter is over!"
"Then my husband can come back earlier!"
Cong still spoke pitifully, and the prince nodded: "Don't worry..."
As soon as the prince left, the pitiful look on Cong's face immediately disappeared. She winked at her maid, and the maid nodded.
Cong got up from the bed.
……
Gu Jingzhi was drinking tea leisurely, and soon he heard footsteps, followed by the voice of the prince.
"I heard that Marquis Gu's wife gave birth to a pair of children last night! Marquis Gu is not at home enjoying family happiness right now, so how could he have time to come to my house?"
After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi immediately put down his teacup and looked towards the prince. He was about to bow, but when he saw the servant beside him, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, I learned something yesterday and wanted to share it with you. This..."
He looked at the servant, who immediately bowed and left.
After a while, seeing that everyone had left, the prince said, "Everyone has left, just say whatever you want to say!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled faintly: "Your Highness, have you heard that a group of criminals were beheaded at Caishikou in Ningzhou at noon today?"
The prince frowned and said, "Lord Gu, what do you want to say?"
His concubine just had a miscarriage, and Gu Jingzhi is here telling him to behead him. Doesn't he think this is unlucky enough?
Gu Jingzhi continued to smile and said, "Your Highness, since I'm here and have told you something that is crucial to your restoration... aren't you curious about the identities of these people?"
Identity?
A sudden realization dawned on the prince's mind, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Why, is there any news about her?"
Gu Jingzhi nodded, and said with a smile that was not a smile but meaningfully: "Not only do we have news about her, but we have also basically confirmed her whereabouts. As long as we verify the information provided by the criminal, we will have news by tomorrow morning at the latest!"
"Hurry, tell me..."
