Chapter 2951 Mutation, Death without Evidence [8]
Widow Xiao and Ji Zhenniang were both gossips. After hearing about these three imperial edicts, they immediately came to see Gu Jinli.
As soon as Ji Zhenniang saw her, she said: "Gu Xiaoyu, our Majesty is really powerful. I'm afraid Prince Wei is going to end this time. We won't be implicated by Prince Wei, right?"
Gu Jinli looked at her and said: "If you keep talking like this, you can kill yourself without Prince Wei being implicated. Learn more from Aunt Lan. Even if you are itchy, you still have to find a way out. The bird asks questions for itself.”
Ji Zhenniang was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she turned green with anger and looked at Widow Xiao: "Aunt Lan, you deliberately lagged a few steps behind me. It turns out you wanted me to ask first and be scolded by Gu Xiaoyu!"
Widow Xiao quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law Xie Cheng, please don't be angry. We are on the same team. You are the one in charge this time, and I will be the one next time. It's the same... Young man, don't care too much, care too much." , grows old quickly.”
Ji Zhenniang was so frightened that she quickly touched her face: "What, really? Do I have wrinkles?"
Widow Xiao ignored her and came over to ask Gu Jinli in a low voice: "Sanlang's wife, the prince is in charge of the country. His mother and concubine have some connections with your family. My aunt is really worried..."
If the prince ascends the throne, will he be the first to kill the Qin and Gu families?
Gu Jinli said: "I know my aunt is worried, so you guys should be careful these days, be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't be greedy for money. As long as we don't make mistakes, even His Majesty will have no chance to convict us."
As for longer-term worries, there is no need... Brother Qin is not a person who gives in at all times. If Wei Xiao loses, he will not be able to let Wei Lin ascend the throne, let alone let her family continue to live the life of the old Gu family.
After hearing this, Widow Xiao felt relieved and asked gossipingly: "Sanlang's wife, the eunuch will be tortured tomorrow. Do we want to watch the fun? This is a good opportunity for the children to open their eyes."
Haven't you been opening the children's eyes lately?
After hearing this, Ji Zhenniang started gossiping again and said, "Gu Xiaoyu, I also want to take Zhuzhu to broaden my horizons!"
Gu Jinli thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Wei Chang's punishment is related to humiliating the female family members of the Chu family. As the family members of the northwest military generals, we can go and have a look, but we can't run around or be too high-profile."
"We will definitely not run around or yell." Widow Xiao promised, and then remembered something she was afraid of: "Sanlang's wife, after His Majesty's three imperial edicts are issued, there won't be a fight, right? Prince Wei is not a vegetarian. He has so many soldiers and horses under his command."
What if the soldiers and horses under Prince Wei are impulsive and attack the city without authorization? It scares me to think about it.
"Don't worry, Auntie, Prince Wei is just impulsive, not mentally ill..." Well, when he said this, Gu Jinli choked for a moment, and then said firmly after a while: "Anyway, it's not the time to start a fight. If we really start a fight, we Nothing will happen, both parties will rush to protect us."
If you protect them, you can get the support of Qin and Luo's troops. Only fools would think of hurting them.
but……
Gu Jinli looked at them and said: "The power of His Majesty's imperial edict is still very strong, so in the next few days, things outside should become more and more troublesome. You should be careful what you say, and be careful when accepting New Year's gifts. If anyone If the New Year's gift from my family is inappropriate, come and ask me."
"You should also be careful of the ladies who come together at this time, and beware of acquaintances, otherwise they are very likely to be taken advantage of or harmed. Don't think that it is safe to get married and have children. There are many married women who are spoiled by beasts. Damn it, if something happens to the family members of the northwest generals, even if they really know how to fight... When you go back, tell your family what I said and let them be more careful."
Ji Zhenniang and Widow Xiao nodded quickly: "We will definitely explain this matter that is related to life and reputation."
…
The matter of the three imperial edicts also reached the ears of the generals under Wei Xiao. Although they did not gather troops to attack the city, the generals and thousands of households were very angry and gathered in Wei Changling's military tent to make a fuss. .
Qianhu Zhoulin said: "General Wei, our prince has been so unjustly accused, are we, the subordinates, just hiding here and watching him suffer?! Still treating him as his biological uncle? Ah, those people outside can really praise that person, If you really regard the prince as your biological son, you will take advantage of the prince’s bad reputation to take away the throne!”
boom!
Wei Changling slapped the table angrily: "Zhou Lin, if you don't keep your mouth shut, I will deal with you immediately!"
What took away the throne? Now is the time to say this?
"This is the truth. Who among all the Wei family's military officials doesn't know? Why don't I tell you?" Zhou Lin also had a very bad temper. After being scolded, he was very unconvinced and pointed at Wei Changling and said: "Wei Changling, I I call you general, do you really think of yourself as a master? When I followed my father and brother to fight on the battlefield with the old Duke and the Crown Prince, you were still playing in the mud in the servants' room of the Duke's mansion!"
Yes, many of the generals who supported Wei Xiao had followed Wei Xiao's grandfather and father. Although their official ranks were at different levels, their qualifications were quite high.
When Wei Changling heard Zhou Lin's words, his face became gloomy and he shouted: "Zhou Qianhu bumped into the officer and violated military law. He will be dragged out immediately and beaten with ten army sticks!"
Zhou Lin was extremely angry: "Wei Changling, how dare you hit me..."
"Idiot like you, if you don't give me a severe beating, I'm afraid you will kill the second young master!" Wei Changling ordered his soldiers: "Drag him down, beat him, and let's talk about it after the beating!"
"Yes." The soldiers came over to arrest Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin drew his knife and tried to resist.
Wei Changling looked at him with a sinister look and said: "Zhou Lin, if you dare to commit murder here, I will not only kill you on the spot, but also thoroughly investigate whether all the soldiers and horses under your command have betrayed the Second Young Master?! "
After hearing this, General Cao hurriedly came up to persuade Zhou Lin: "Xiao Lin, you are wrong about this... go out and be punished first."
This man was also a domestic slave of Duke Wei, but in terms of age and qualifications, he was more powerful than Zhou Lin. He even saved Zhou Lin's life on the battlefield, so Zhou Lin listened to him very much.
After thinking about it, he threw away his saber, followed the soldiers out, and received ten army sticks outside the account.
After Zhou Lin was escorted back to the account, Wei Changling took out a letter written by Wei Xiao and handed it to his colleagues present: "He has arranged the letter for the second young master. Please follow the second young master's instructions." and it shall be done.”
"Second Young Master, a letter has arrived!" After hearing this, the generals were overjoyed and hurriedly took the letter and circulated it one by one.
After they had read it almost, Wei Changling said: "This letter was just written last night. The second young master will not sit still and wait for death, so you can rest assured."
Although Wei Xiao was in jail, he had someone in jail, so he could easily write letters and send them out of the city using a letter eagle.
The generals said: "Don't worry, as long as the communication between the Second Young Master and us is not broken, we will be relieved!"
but……
Lieutenant General Gan said: "Our second young master conquered this country with his life, but he actually wants to get rid of the second young master with just the lies of a group of dead soldiers. We can't let him succeed, we have to show something."
They all agreed that Sun Liang and others were the dead soldiers raised by Wei Qi, specifically to wrong the second son.
Then he said: "Why don't we go to the city gate and stand for a while to let our second master Wei know that although the second master has lost his father, he is not easy to bully. He had better restrain himself and don't think about killing our second master." , snatch the things from the eldest son’s house!”
After hearing this, Wei Changling hesitated.
Just as he was hesitating, the voice of a scout suddenly came from outside the account: "Report! General Wei, the Wu family has brought a group of generals from the Chu Dynasty to the city gate, shouting that the murderer will be severely punished and justice will be given to the Chu family."
