Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

That group of people were all dead, and Gu Shaoyu also let Prince Rong go.

When King Rong's 20,000 troops heard the loud noise, they hesitated to move forward.

The main generals were negotiating with Prince Rong, and the generals behind them were only deputy generals, and they did not dare to rush up without authorization.

The garrison troops in Zizhou watched the elder flying the kite from afar and cheered loudly.

But what about that loud explosion?

Prince Rong was released by Gu Shaoyu, and due to inertia, he stumbled forward a few steps.

He ran back to the explosion site and saw his son torn into pieces. He then looked at the generals and guards who had died tragically. He sighed and tears fell.

Nanxing and Hongying kept their eyes on him. If he dared to order the army to fight, they would kill Prince Rong first!

Unexpectedly, Prince Rong stood up, walked up to Gu Shaoyu, and said, "Please trouble Elder Gu to wait for me for three days. I will make arrangements and will follow you back to the capital to plead guilty and await your majesty's decision."

Gu Shaoyu nodded and watched him stagger away.

The chief steward was puzzled. Seeing Shao Yu return intact, he asked anxiously, "Lord, why did you let him go? Did you reach an agreement with him?"

Gu Shaoyu nodded: "It's settled! Prince Rong will issue an imperial decree to recall the frontline troops, and he will follow me back to the capital to plead guilty."

Everyone found it unbelievable. Was Lord Gu too amazing?

Is this settled?

Conquer King Rong's troops without fighting?

Hongying, Nanxing and others all thought that Prince Rong was frightened by the clay jar thunder.

Gu Shaoyu asked someone to send a message to Xie Yu and Ling Xun, saying that the mission in Zizhou had been successfully completed and they should pack their luggage and prepare to return to Beijing.

Xie Yu and Ling Xun arrived quickly. They were very curious about what happened at the scene: "Will Prince Rong really go back with us in three days?"

"meeting!"

"why?"

"Because he had no intention of rebelling." Gu Shaoyu explained the on-site negotiations to the two.

Prince Rong came with those people, and it looked like he was the leader, but how could he hide it from the shrewd Gu Shaoyu.

"Prince Rong was exhausted, his eyes were helpless, and the others all had burning eyes, waiting to arrest me.

He did not mention the content of the negotiations at the beginning, but directly scolded me and His Majesty, and called for people to kill me, which was to remind me that he did not want to negotiate. "

Logically speaking, when the two armies were facing each other, if Prince Rong captured Gu Shaoyu alive, it would not only boost morale but also restrain the imperial court.

On the contrary, killing Gu Shaoyu would not do any good to Prince Rong. Instead, it would arouse the anger of His Majesty and the imperial army. An army in despair will surely win, and killing the enemy will be more courageous.

Therefore, Gu Shaoyu judged that it was not Prince Rong's intention to raise an army this time, but someone forced him to do so.

Sure enough, when Gu Shaoyu took him away and escaped, he told Gu Shaoyu that among the three generals, one was named Wei Anxiong, who was Wei Jingzhong's nephew.

When everyone listened to Gu Shaoyu's analysis, there was only one word in their minds: admiration!

Two days later, Gu Shaoyu received news that Prince Rong's army was retreating.

Three days later, Prince Rong came to Zizhou wearing prisoner clothes to look for Gu Shaoyu.

"Lord Gu, I am ready. Please put on the shackles!"

He stretched out his hands and asked Gu Shaoyu to put shackles on him.

Gu Shaoyu saw that his hair and beard had turned white in three days. He was wearing prison clothes, with a calm look and a gentle manner.

Then he said: "Prince Rong sincerely pleads guilty, so this court does not need to stick to the formalities!"

There is no need to put on shackles.

Along with Prince Rong came Wei Shuyun, Shen Su, and Jin Feng, who were tied up. Prince Rong said, "These three people said that they were ordered by Wei Jingzhong to kill you. I had them tied up and handed them over to the elder for disposal."

Gu Shaoyu, Qin County Magistrate (acting prefect), Xie Yu, and Ling Xun must undergo a preliminary review before returning to the capital.

The court was immediately opened and Prince Rong, Wei Shuyun, Shen Su and Jin Feng were interrogated separately.

Everything was just as Gu Shaoyu had inferred. Prince Rong was old and had no intention of rebelling. It was Prince Rong's son Zhou Fengzhi who wanted to start a rebellion.

Zhou Fengzhi was deceived by Wei Jingzhong, who said that the prince was weak and sickly and would not live long, and that His Majesty had vomited blood several times, so he hoped to support Zhou Fengzhi to ascend the throne.

Zhou Fengzhi and Wei Jingzhong had been in private contact for a long time, but Prince Rong was unaware of it.

He was an idle prince, used to a comfortable life. He only liked to travel and play. Ever since Zhou Fengzhi requested to be named the crown prince, he no longer asked about the affairs of the mansion.

He was the last one to know about the rebellion in the palace.

He was so angry that he cursed Zhou Fengzhi for being confused and having his head in his crotch. He called the Wei family traitors and had long been rebellious. The rebellious son actually colluded with the traitors and deserved to die.

Zhou Fengzhi was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he imprisoned him and the princess in the dungeon.

If Gu Shaoyu had not wanted to meet with Prince Rong and negotiate with him this time, he would still be imprisoned in the palace.

Magistrate Qin wrote down the crimes that Prince Rong confessed to and asked him to sign it.

"Mr. Gu is so amazing. She is truly my lifelong role model." County Magistrate Qin was so impressed by Gu Shaoyu that stars appeared in his eyes.

Gu Shaoyu glanced at him, and County Magistrate Qin immediately suppressed the emotion on his face and bowed to him respectfully.

Next, Wei Shuyun, Shen Su and Jin Feng were brought in for questioning.

Wei Shuyun's interrogation was not smooth. He refused to admit whether he had instructed the five major grain merchants to raise prices or tricked Prince Rong into killing Gu Shaoyu.

Shen Su was Princess Yurong's lover and also her counselor. Gu Shaoyu only said one thing to him: "Ding Fengqi has been confiscated and imprisoned. It was you who led the way. If you return to the capital, the princess will not let you go. You will die miserably."

Shen Su realized that he had been watched all the way and would definitely die if he returned. He kowtowed desperately: "Master, please spare my life, Lord?"

Gu Shaoyu said: "That depends on whether you have enough bargaining chips to negotiate with this pavilion."

"Can I tell you the whole story?"

"No need, Jin Feng has confessed."

Shen Su was sweating profusely. He didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die!

"Tell me everything you know. Don't try to hide it, because I have someone watching you all the time."

Shen Su held his head and wailed, his mind going blank in panic.

He couldn't think of anything to say. He couldn't afford to offend the princess or the minister.

Gu Shaoyu saw that he was really panicking, so he said, "Let's start with how many concubines like Ding Fengqi the princess has."

Shen Su was extremely resistant, but if she said all this, there would be no way out.

But there is no way out if I don't say it.

no choice!

He didn't know much. He only knew that there was a man named Lin Haohao in Yejian and that the person he came to see this time was Ding Fengqi. He didn't know anything else.

Princess Yurong did not completely believe him.

He said with a sad face: "I, the guilty minister, don't know anything else."

"Then let's talk about the princess's pleasure boats..."

"Those pleasure boats are for the emperor, and are also where Duke Cheng'en, no, Wei Jingzhong, has secret meetings with others."

……

Shen Su cried and said, "I was originally a fellow Jinshi, but I became the princess's servant... and she didn't trust me at first, but she started to trust me after she woke up from the water."

In the past, the Roudan Princess would come and go at will when the boss called her, and she would handle all confidential matters herself, so how could she let them touch her secrets?

The princess fell into the water and didn't know what happened. After waking up, when she saw him for the first time, she blurted out: "Prince, I'm back..."

She hugged him and cried, but he didn't know what it meant. He was not a prince at all!

However, the princess began to use him from that day on.

Gu Shaoyu glanced at Shen Su a few times.

He has a slender figure and elegant demeanor. He wears a sky-blue brocade robe, a belt of the same color with mutton-fat white jade around his waist, and a jade crown on his head.

Whether it's appearance or temperament, he looks like one person——

Gu Chengyan!
