Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

However, no matter how good Qi Sheng was at seeing through the situation and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and how he had climbed up from being a commoner to where he is today, there was still one thing he did not understand: how on earth did Lou Junze survive in such a desperate situation?

Qi Sheng said softly but firmly: "Huai'an dare not refuse, otherwise once the news of the murder of Zhenbei Hou spreads, no one can escape the situation of being attacked by the world. We still have the evidence of the contact at that time. It was originally to prevent someone from abandoning the donkey after it has done its job, but we didn't expect a sudden palace coup. In addition, we sent people to Kyoto. We have served the prime minister, and now he has ascended the throne. It is not good to ignore these old ministers, and he and the prince are mortal enemies..."

……

As expected, he had contacted Huai'an and plotted to murder the Marquis of Zhenbei, the man who had colluded with the Prime Minister.

off screen,

Washing the inkstone made my face green.

Kuishan smashed the table.

Qianli was shaking with anger.

Zhou Wenshu's arms were shaking so much that no one could pay attention to them.

Everyone listened attentively to what Qi Sheng thought was a secret conspiracy.

Lou Junze: "You can start arresting people now!"

Those who had been waiting anxiously rushed out, each of them taking out their most skilled weapon.

……

The Qi Mansion five streets away was quite restless tonight. The lights in each house were bright, and the masters were walking back and forth in a hurry.

An important piece of news began to spread in the mansion, that is, the butler confessed something serious about the master, and the news was passed back that everyone was asked to run with the important things.

Some believed it, some didn’t, some were panicked, some were calm, and some thought it was impossible.

On the main road out of the mansion, Old Madam Qi was holding a small box tightly in her arms, supported by her maids and servants, and was going to the carriage that had been driven to the outer courtyard with her little grandchildren.

As she was walking quickly, something tripped the old lady's feet and she suddenly fell down. Several maids grabbed her arms and pulled her hard to support her. Although she did not fall, her box rolled to the door leading to the outer courtyard.

She hurried to pick it up, but a pair of black boots embroidered with gold-thread cloud patterns and mountains and rivers were already on top of the box.

"What is the old lady's treasure?" asked Lou Junze.

Several people looked up in astonishment and found Lou Junze standing at the door connecting the inner and outer courtyards. Several generals had just stopped after walking in, and in the outer courtyard outside, rows of guards with knives and chains were rushing in. As soon as the shouting sounded, the servants and guards were pressed to the ground.

Lou Junze's eyes were dangerous.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"This, this is..."

"..."

He loosened his foot.

Just as Old Madam Qi was about to go forward to pick it up, Qianli stepped forward, cut off the lock of the box with a knife, and pried open the box with the tip of the knife.

There were more than a dozen seals, a pair of tiger talismans, and half a box of letters inside.

Even though Old Madam Qi had lived in the rear palace all her life, she knew what this box of seals meant, not to mention the tiger talisman that was rumored to have been lost in the northern border after the death of Marquis Zhenbei.

This is the life and property that his son Qi Sheng entrusted to him with numerous instructions for safekeeping.

It’s a matter of life and death now.

Madam Qi was so frightened that she fell to her knees.

Qianli had already opened a letter in the box. He could barely read a few words under the blazing torchlight. It said the Prime Minister's secret order to eliminate the Marquis of Zhenbei, the six sons of the Gu family, and the secret military order of Huai'an and Wucheng.

The sudden collapse of the Gu family was due to the sudden death of Marquis Zhenbei, the blind command of the central army that killed the five sons of the Gu family, and the sudden appearance of Huai'an troops in the northern border to confiscate the family's property. Who didn't know about this?

Now the secret letter contacting Huai'an appeared in Lord Qi's mansion, and there is also this box of private seals and tiger talismans. What do these represent? These are all ironclad physical evidence.

It turns out that Qi Sheng was the one who plotted to murder General Gu, Marquis of Zhenbei.

"Oh my God!"

Old Madam Qi couldn't catch her breath and this time she really fainted.

Several officials and adults shook their heads and began to greet him angrily.

Qianli has already led the criminal guards to put chains on everyone in the inner courtyard. All of them are locked tightly. It doesn't matter whether you are unconscious or not, you will be locked up.

This night,

People were being arrested everywhere and Wucheng was in a panic.

The boy who stumbled back from Yangqiao Hutong met his sixth brother at the intersection.

An elite soldier led the way, riding a white horse, blood dripping from the tip of his sword; a man wore a soft brocade robe, holding his sleeves, his brows and eyes frosted.

Someone caught up with Lou Junze and reported: "Your Highness..."

Gu Qi: “…”

Gu Qi didn't hear clearly what the man behind him said, but the two words "Your Highness" exploded in his ears like a thunderbolt in a clear sky.

The young man Gu Qi stared at him blankly, stared at Lou Junze blankly, holding the dagger in his hand.
