The son-in-law is a thief

"What happened to the son-in-law?"

Seeing Gu Ruyang's flustered expression and flickering words, Zhaoyang was also a little nervous.

"Could it be that someone tampered with the horse just now?" Zhaoyang was also very worried, she turned her head and wanted to call the head of the horse supervisor to find out what happened.

"I'm fine!" Gu Ruyang took Zhaoyang's hand: "It's just a little hot, drink tea, drink tea."

Gu Ruyang poured herbal tea for herself, one cup after another, and only after drinking three cups in a row did she recover.

"Zhaoyang, don't worry." Gu Ruyang didn't forget to add a sentence.

"Ru Yang is like a child at this time." Zhao Yang said this for some reason, and seemed to feel a little abrupt again, and said: "The son-in-law's matter of hunting deer today was handled very properly."

Gu Ruyang looked at the white deer whose throat had been cut. Its feet were kicking vigorously in a dying struggle. Although this noble and beautiful creature did not do it by itself, it still could not escape the fate of being destroyed by human hands.

"If the princess only asks for my safety, who will have my safety?" Gu Ruyang pointed to Chen Yi who was beside the white deer. Sweating profusely, the sweat beads were mixed with raised dust, making him even more embarrassed.

"Here." Zhaoyang pointed to Zhang Zhize who was trembling, "He's safe too."

Gu Ruyang shook his head: "When his princess arrives later, I'm afraid it won't be safe. After all, his princess is not as gentle as my princess."

Zhaoyang just smiled but didn't answer. This person said this, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

The blood of the deer has been drained, and the deer is cooked. Since the deer meat is divided, as the most important part of this banquet, the deer will be presented to the emperor, and Qin Wuyong will personally share the reward with a knife. The person who handles the deer's ears is naturally Qin Wuyong , Then the deer noodles were rewarded to Zhaoyang, Gu Ruyang, and Prince Li'an, the flanks of the deer were given to the heirs of the emperor, and the tenderloin of the deer was distributed to the ministers. Among the ministers, Li Tuo was also seated, although this time It was the son-in-law, Chen Yi, who got the White Deer, but Li Tuo performed exceptionally and was Li Yan's son, so he gave him a seat with Li Yan.In the end, the remaining meat was distributed equally by Huang Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, to all the people present. Everyone thanked each other. The dinner just started, and the drums and music were played for a while. back door.

On the face of the royal family, prosperity is still maintained, but under the face, there is still a dark tide.

"Your Highness, there is one person missing from the Gu family."

It was a guard next to Qin Li'an who spoke, and his eyes never left the Gu family from the beginning of the whole banquet.

"Send someone to take a look." Li An said.

"The master and servant don't know what they are whispering." Chu Han raised his chin and pointed in the direction of Du Yong. Gu Ruyang had already left Zhaoyang and sat beside Du Yong. It seems to be whispering.

"What's the arrangement for the investigation of fire|powder?" Li An asked again.

"The preparations are ready, and it is up to Mr. Zheng to cooperate." Chu Han looked at Zheng Qi, slightly bowing his head.

"Your Highness, don't worry, everything will be done in half the time." Zheng Qi said and gestured to the guard in the distance, and the guard turned around and left the palace.

There was a sneer at the corner of Qin Li'an's mouth, he looked at Zhaoyang, and said in his heart: Eldest sister, you are against me everywhere, today I am determined to make you ugly.

On the opposite side of Qin Li'an, Gu Ruyang and Du Yong were also talking about the dark matter. Du Yong pretended to watch the dance, while Gu Ruyang cared about eating meat. It was exactly what Qin Li'an said, and the two were whispering Whispering.

"Uncle Du, are you ready?" Gu Ruyang was a little impatient.

"Okay, the arrangements have been made, isn't Hai Xing busy now?" Du Yong's expression was indifferent.

"Then why is there no movement?" Gu Ruyang looked at the north.

"Isn't it the Xushi action you told me? It's not until Youshi, and there is still more than an hour. You should eat well." Du Yong said and picked up a vegetable heart in Gu Ruyang's evening: "Eat more vegetables and less meat. .”

"I'm 21, my uncle." Gu Ruyang threw the food back into Du Yong's bowl.

Du Yong drank a glass of wine, turned his head and said to Gu Ruyang: "You can talk about this matter. When you arranged it in Taiping Island, you said it was just going through the motions and raising your face. It's nothing important. Why are you so nervous now?"

Gu Ruyang looked in Zhaoyang's direction, Zhaoyang was playing pot throwing with her younger brothers and sisters, Li Yan was also waiting on the side with the arrow barrel, Gu Ruyang frowned and said: "Anyway, what happened before Don't worry, it's urgent now."

Du Yong filled Gu Ruyang's glass with wine, put it heavily in front of her, and said with a smile: "It's useless to be in a hurry, the arranged Xu time is Xu time, and you can't wait a moment longer."

Gu Ruyang drank the wine into his stomach, and choked out one word out of all the words in his heart: "Okay."

Throwing down the good word, Gu Ruyang got up and hurriedly walked towards Zhaoyang.

Qin Wuyong also drank wine quietly. This lonely middle-aged man could not find any comfort in such an occasion. He was not like those young people who had endless desires, and he did not feel a little bit about Zhaoyang's marriage. Even when Gu Ruyang came here, he didn't see the bright future of Nian Guicheng. Although he still had hope in his heart, most of them were still helpless about the life he couldn't choose.

"Your Majesty, are you tired?" Xiang Yang saw Qin Wuyong's emotions, at least there was no more brilliance in those aging eyes.

"Tired." Qin Wuyong just played with the wine glass.

"Let's rest when you're tired." Bowing to the sheep, he said, "I'll make arrangements for this old servant."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Yang Fuchen shook his head and walked forward. The old guy cleared his throat and was about to speak, but saw a forest guard rushing in. The guard walked in front of the hall and knelt down to Qin Wuyong, saying: " Report to Your Majesty, a spy has been caught in the palace!"

"Hey, who is this so bold that they all ran into the palace to be presumptuous." Zheng Qi said loudly, and then asked Li Tuo: "General Li, you are just trying to grab a deer. One slipped in."

Li Tuo's face was ugly, he said to the guard: "Put him down, I will go to interrogate right away."

"Father, why don't you take him up for trial." Qin Li'an said to Emperor Guangxiao: "I also want to see who is so bold that he dares to come to my Longevity Palace to make troubles on the big day when the eldest sister returns home."

"The minister is also curious." Zheng Qi said.

"I'm also curious." The official minister and the left and right servants also said in unison.

"I thought it was against the rules and it was the responsibility of the Habayashi Guard to arrest the spies, so I asked General Li to go and interrogate him. After the interrogation, I will give an explanation to His Majesty and the courtiers." Huang Yuan also joined in.

Qin Wuyong slapped the wine glass in his hand on the table, his face darkened: "I haven't said anything yet, you guys have a lot of opinions."

He asked the guard again: "Tell me about the situation, who is the spy? How did he get in?"

The guard clasped his hands and replied: "This person is a woman who entered the palace with His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

When Gu Ruyang heard that this was a woman, but also entered the palace with him, it wasn’t Gu Haixing who was not present, who else could it be, Gu Ruyang walked up to the palace and said to the guard: “I’m afraid I misunderstood, that My bodyguard, Gu Haixing."

The guards were also upright, and asked Gu Ruyang's identity regardless of Gu Ruyang's identity, "As the consort's personal guard, why did he climb onto the roof of Yong'an Hall?"

Chu Han took advantage of the situation and said, "Wanshigang has sent so many treasures, I'm afraid they are not coveting the golden tiles on His Majesty's roof?"

"To be serious, starfish is also a sea girl. I haven't seen anything in the world. I'm afraid I got lost in the palace. Going up to the roof is probably just looking for a way. It's nothing to make a fuss about." Du Yong also got up and said.

"Mr. Du, don't you want to turn a big thing into a small thing?" Chu Han turned to Qin Wuyong again and said, "Your Majesty, please be cautious when it comes to royal matters."

Qin Wuyong looked at Zhaoyang: "Yi'an, what do you think?"

Zhao Yang walked up to Gu Ruyang, nodded to her son-in-law, she said to Qin Wuyong, "I believe in the son-in-law."

"Okay." Qin Wuyong waved his hand and said, "Li Tuo, let him go."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Zheng Qi stepped forward again.

"Father, please think twice about your safety!" Li An also stepped forward and said.

"Since the princess believes in the son-in-law, the result of the trial or not will be the same. Why don't you take the girl out and ask in front of everyone why she is on the roof of the Palace of Longevity." Chu Han also joined the participants. line of words.

"Report-"

There was a wave of unrest and another wave, Qin Wuyong hadn't heard the approval of His Highness's ministers, but saw a captain of the navy rushing towards the hall with a flag in his hand, he rushed to the front of the hall and knelt down to Qin Wuyong again, With a lot of foreshadowing, he said directly: "Report Your Majesty, our army found gun|powder on Gu Ruyang's boat!"

"Gu Ruyang is the lord of Wanshigang, the princess' son-in-law, don't you just talk about it, do you have evidence?" Zheng Qi asked his subordinate.

"Now our army is confronting Gu Jiafan at Wu'an Port. If our army is allowed to board the ship, we will be able to find gun|powder." The school captain looked confident.

Qin Wuyong looked at another farce in front of him, let out a heavy breath, locked his eyes on Li Qin'an, and asked, "Li'an, what's going on?"

Qin Li'an gave Zheng Qi a wink, and Zheng Qi answered, "Return to Your Majesty, the ship from Wanshi Port is docked at Wu'an Port. I have repeatedly expressed my desire to board the ship but was rejected by him. Zheng suspects that there are ghosts on board, so let me do it." The admiral of the navy sent people to search secretly, and found that there was gun|powder hidden in the ship."

Du Yong laughed twice and said: "Even if there is gun|powder, it is still on my ship and has never been in port. What does it have to do with Lord Qi?"

"To eat the king's salary, to take care of the king's worries, I naturally have to care about what you put on this boat!" Zheng Qi took it for granted: "My Qi family has been loyal and good for generations, and your Majesty's safety is no big or small, as long as the things on this boat are important to me. The impact on my safety is related to me, Zheng Qi!"

"Zhaoyang, do you know about this matter." What Zheng Qi said was not unreasonable, Qin Wuyong threw the question to Zhaoyang again.

"I don't know." Zhaoyang replied frankly.

"Ruyang, is what Mr. Zheng said true?" Zhaoyang's eyes fell on Gu Ruyang. She saw that Li'an's party spoke convincingly, but she must believe in Gu Ruyang, as long as Gu Ruyang said no. , that is no.

Gu Ruyang also looked at Zhaoyang, with a troubled expression on her face, she didn't even dare to look at Zhaoyang more.

"Is it true?" Zhaoyang asked again. Seeing Gu Ruyang's expression, she already knew what Zheng Qi and Chu Han said was true. Gu Ruyang's boat must have gunpowder. Zhaoyang doesn't know what the medicine is used for, and she also believes that other than Gu Ruyang and Du Yong don't know either. The only thing Zhaoyang can be sure of is that Gu Ruyang will never do anything that is not beneficial to her.

"Yes." Gu Ruyang replied.

"Then I'm curious. Dare I ask Mr. Gu why he brought gunpowder to Wu'an Port?" Zheng Qi said, pointing to the outside of the hall again: "Here comes the question again, did the woman climbed onto the roof just now for real?" Are you lost in the palace or do you have another plan?"

"General Li Tuo, why don't you bring him up for interrogation in front of His Majesty?" Qin Li'an said.
