It was not until two hours later that Gu Ning waited for Pei Anlin to arrive.
During the two hours of waiting, she already knew about Zeng Zhizhou's good deeds.
"I don't search other yards in Zeng Zhizhou, just go straight to the yard where I live. It seems that you are sure that there are rebel spies in the yard!" Gu Ning put his arms around his chest, Taohua's eyes were full of anger, and he stared round. Eyes, staring at Zeng Zhizhou, "Did you get accurate information, or...do you suspect that I have contact with the rebels?"
Hearing this, Zeng Zhizhou's back broke out in cold sweat again.
If it was before, he could still argue with Gu Ning, but when he thought of Pei Anlin who was coming, he didn't have any sophistry, so he said cautiously: "It's all the fault of the lower officials! Punishment, the lower officials all admit it!"
"No!" Gu Ning said decisively, "You haven't answered me yet? Where did you get the news from?"
Zeng Zhizhou thought of the answer a long time ago, but under Gu Ning's gaze, cold sweat inevitably broke out on his forehead: "The spy hides very deeply, and the people who enter the city are all registered in the relevant state. They have been checked one by one, Dudu county lord, none of the people you brought have checked the household registration, so the subordinate officials thought that the spy might have mixed into your team."
"The lives of all the people in Cangzhou are tied to the lower official. The lower official had to be cautious, so he wanted to look for you and search the team that accompanied you. Who knows that today, by chance, you went out, helpless. Under the circumstances, the lower officials can only kill first and play later."
As Zeng Zhizhou said, he fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop", "This official is really for the people of Cangzhou, and has absolutely no selfish intentions!"
Gu Ning snorted softly and was about to speak when he raised his eyes and saw Pei Anlin standing outside the door.
"Uncle!" She shouted in surprise, and quickly ran to Pei Anlin's side.
There was more cold sweat on Zeng Zhizhou's back, and his whole body became stiff. He didn't dare to raise his head to meet Pei Anlin's eyes.
Mrs. Zeng walked past him and cursed in a low voice: "Trash!"
"You..." Zeng Zhizhou raised his head immediately, and before he could speak, he felt Pei Anlin's sharp realization. The little flame that had just ignited in his heart was extinguished in an instant.
"I have met General Pei." Madam Zeng saluted Pei An.
Pei Anlin glanced at her a few times, and when she was feeling flustered, he slowly replied: "So it's Miss Tang, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as heroic as before."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zeng was taken aback for a moment, forgetting what she had planned to say.
How many years has it been?How many years has it been since I heard this "Miss Tang"?When she was in the capital, she was also in high spirits and bold enough to invite her little sisters to play polo together, but in Cangzhou, she became the hypocritical person she hated most back then.
Madam Zeng's eyes revealed a look of struggle, and soon, Zeng Zhizhou's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"See General Pei!" Zeng Zhizhou quickly walked in front of Pei Anlin, "plopped" again, and knelt in front of Pei Anlin, "This official is guilty, please punish him by General Pei!"
Pei Anlin frowned: "What is Mr. Zeng guilty of?"
Zeng Zhizhou said in a loud voice: "In order to find the spy of the rebel army, I even broke into the bedroom of the county magistrate without the county magistrate's consent. I know that the crime is serious, so I ask the general to punish me!"
His attitude was very humble, and his face was full of guilt and anxiety.
Pei Anlin frowned, and looked at Gu Ning subconsciously. When he touched Gu Ning's sly eyes, he paused, swallowed the sentence "he should be severely punished", and changed to another sentence: "It's just a small thing, Why heavy punishment?"
Gu Ning frowned: "But uncle, he broke into my bedroom without permission, so let's forget it!"
"In your opinion, how should you be punished?" Pei Anlin asked rhetorically.
Gu Ning squeezed his chin, and under Zeng Zhizhou's uneasy gaze, he said slowly: "Did Zeng Zhizhou find the rebel spies in my bedroom?"
"No." Zeng Zhizhou replied in a low voice.
"Since the rebel spy was never found in my bedroom, the spy must have fled elsewhere." Gu Ning said thoughtfully, "It's better to let someone search the whole Cangzhou."
"After all, they are spies from the rebel army. Maybe they have already collected the city defense map of Cangzhou, so they can't let it go so easily!" Gu Ning said firmly, "Be sure to find him!"
Zeng Zhizhou's expression changed drastically, and he was about to refuse, but Madam Zeng stepped on his hand severely. He let out a pain, covered his hands with a ferocious expression, and stared at Madam Zeng fiercely.
Madam Zeng cast a more fierce look than him.
Zeng Zhizhou was stunned for a moment, and in a moment of stupefaction, Pei Anlin said in a deep voice: "It is indeed necessary to search the entire city of Cangzhou. The big battle is imminent, and there must be no mistakes inside."
"Yes!" Zeng Zhizhou had no choice but to agree.
If he refuses again, he will look suspicious.
Out of the front hall, Zeng Zhizhou stared at Mrs. Zeng fiercely: "Why did you step on me just now? Don't you know..."
"My lord, no matter what secrets you have hidden, but if you dare to refuse the county magistrate's proposal just now, then don't try to keep the black gauze hat on your head!" Madam Zeng sneered, "Don't you know General Pei's secret?" Is it great?"
Hearing this, Zeng Zhizhou tightly squeezed his hands, wanting to refute Mrs. Zeng's words, but swallowed them back.
He naturally knew Pei Anlin's abilities, and it was precisely because of this that he refused to refuse after Pei Anlin spoke, but what Mrs. Zeng said made him feel uncomfortable.
He stepped forward quickly and grabbed Mrs. Zeng's wrist: "You and I are both grasshoppers on the same rope. If you dare to betray me... then don't think about it!"
Mrs. Zeng shook his hand away fiercely, and wiped the veil on her wrist in disgust: "Speak, talk, don't touch me with your dirty hands that have touched countless women! If there is another time !"
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she waved her fist at Zeng Zhizhou: "I'll let you go to the government office with a bag on your head!"
"You!" Zeng Zhizhou was extremely angry, but because of Mrs. Zeng's words, he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth, and threw down a sentence bitterly, "Witch! Shrew!"
In the front yard, Yue Ming, Yue Rong, and Chun Yu walked out, keeping a close eye on every corner to ensure that the conversation of Gu Ning and the three would not be heard by others.
"What are you guys doing?" Pei Anlin took a look at Xie Yan's attire, not hiding the disgust in his eyes, "Shouldn't you be in Sichuan at this time? You will do everything the emperor ordered you to do." gone?"
Facing Pei Anlin, Xie Yan's calm mind was a little erratic, and he replied with a guilty conscience: "It's done."
Hearing this, Pei Anlin narrowed his eyes: "Is it really done?"
"Oh!" Gu Ning said, interrupting Pei Anlin's questioning, "Uncle! This Zeng Zhizhou is weird! He is probably from Chu Yunyi! Today he deliberately asked me to go out just to search my yard! I don't know where he heard the news!"
"He suspects you?" Because of Gu Ning's words, Pei Anlin immediately became vigilant.
Gu Ning nodded: "I saw his actions, I'm afraid that he suspects that our Pei family has a connection with the rebels in Shu."
Speaking of this, Gu Ning frowned and said, "Uncle, did you expose yourself?"
Pei Anlin just paused for a moment, then shook his head: "If I was exposed, their methods would not be so gentle. Presumably they are just worried that our Pei family is colluding with the rebels, so they came to search and wanted to find some clues."
"Then I'm relieved." Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed again, "Today Zeng Zhizhou went through such a toss, but he won't lose money by stealing chickens. You should be more careful when you ask people to search, and he must be searched. If the secret dealings with Chu Yunyi are found out, then the emperor will definitely not spare him! After you get rid of this person, you don’t have to worry about someone’s black hands when you are commanding at the front line.”
Pei Anlin heard Gu Ning's words, because the sourness that Gu Ning and Xie Yan were inseparable instantly dissipated, he rubbed Gu Ning's head, and said with a smile: "It's not in vain that I love you so much."
……
The capital thousands of miles away.
"It's windy today, let the palace people prepare their clothes so that you and Cheng'er won't catch cold." Chu Yunyi carefully put a light coat on Gu Qingqiu's body, looking at Gu Qingqiu and the child in her arms , eyes full of tenderness.
Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes and showed a shy smile: "Your Highness, so many people are watching."
The surrounding palace people hurriedly lowered their heads to hide the astonishment on their faces. Even though it was not the first time that His Royal Highness treated the Crown Princess so tenderly, they still couldn't help being surprised. Obviously, just a month ago, His Highness still shouted Wanting to abolish the concubine, why did the two become inseparable overnight?Even Xu Fengyi, who was the favorite of His Highness the Crown Prince, was sent out of the palace by the Crown Princess for a reason.
Such a strange change is really frightening.
Gu Qingqiu sent away the gentle Chu Yunyi, the smile on his face completely disappeared.
She gently put the child in the cradle, looking at the peonies in full bloom outside the window, a stern look flashed across her eyes.
"Take care of Cheng'er." Gu Qingqiu said softly, "I'm going out for a while."
Hearing this, Ban Xia suddenly raised her head: "Crown Princess, where are you going again?"
"His Royal Highness's attitude towards you has changed, why do you need to take risks?" Ban Xia hurriedly said, "You can't be stupid!"
Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "A man's love is not reliable, only Cheng'er...Cheng'er is my hope!"
After saying this, her eyes became fierce, and under Ban Xia's panicked eyes, she strode out of the main hall.
Ban Xia hugged the child, staring blankly at her figure going away, a kind of panic enveloped her whole body at this moment.
She knew that Gu Qingqiu was determined to get rid of Chu Yunyi!
Wearing the clothes of the most common maid, Gu Qingqiu walked into the most common house.
Such houses are everywhere in the capital, and they are not at all eye-catching.
Gu Qingqiu was outside the door, knocked five times, and finally the wooden door opened.
The maid who opened the door saw Gu Qingqiu, she was so excited that she burst into tears: "You are finally here!"
If she stays in this yard any longer, she will go crazy!
Gu Qingqiu nodded in disbelief, then walked towards the door.
At the stone table in the front yard, a man covered in black stood up and said hoarsely, "Have you made a decision?"
During the two hours of waiting, she already knew about Zeng Zhizhou's good deeds.
"I don't search other yards in Zeng Zhizhou, just go straight to the yard where I live. It seems that you are sure that there are rebel spies in the yard!" Gu Ning put his arms around his chest, Taohua's eyes were full of anger, and he stared round.
