Gu Huanian looked at the stern-faced and burly guard standing in front of him, not knowing what expression to make.

Jiang Nansheng said in a cold voice, "It's okay. I don't blame those who don't know. I am currently the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."

Dali Temple Shaoqing? !

Gu Huanian had never known this before and his eyes widened in shock.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinchu looked up at Jiang Nansheng and secretly calculated in his heart that according to the time in his previous life, he still had eight months before he went to take up his post at the Dali Temple.

He did not mention this matter when we met last night, and the imperial examination cheating case seemed to have nothing to do with the Dali Temple.

She withdrew her gaze from Jiang Nansheng and looked behind him, as if she was looking for someone.

Jiang Nansheng raised his foot and took a step slightly to the side. From Gu Jinchu's perspective, he had blocked the main room door tightly.

Under the official hat, his face was as white as jade. He stepped from the Hanlin Academy into the Dali Temple. The change of identity made him, who was as gentle as jade, seem to be hiding a hint of sharpness.

The Dali Temple Shaoqing was two levels higher than him in official rank. Gu Huanian asked respectfully beside Jiang Nansheng, "I wonder why Lord Jiang came to the Gu family?"

When Gu Huanian learned about Jiang Nansheng's official position, he was full of doubts.

Most of the cases handled by the Dali Temple were death penalty cases transferred from the Ministry of Justice, or reviews of difficult cases, or major cases assigned by the emperor.

No matter which one it is, what does it have to do with the Gu family.

He couldn't help but look at his brother beside him, thinking that if there was a problem, it might be because something went wrong with Hui Ge's pediatric exam.

When Gu Huaqing saw his younger brother looking at him, he looked particularly strange and even began to become uneasy.

When Gu Yan heard Jiang Nansheng's name, she stood up from the kang by the window and looked at him and Gu Jinchu with a scrutinizing look.

He ran over a few steps, tilted his head, looked unwilling, and said angrily:

"What else could it be? Are you here to support Gu Jinchu? What can the Dali Temple do? Zheng caused my mother to have a miscarriage, and so many people saw it!"

Gu Huanian was so frightened that cold sweats ran down his face. His clothes on his back were soaked. He shouted angrily, "Shut up! Hurry up and drag the fourth young lady away."

As she spoke, she bent her back even lower beside Jiang Nansheng, "Master Jiang, my daughter is still young. I hope you won't bother with a girl like her."

Jiang Nansheng lowered his eyes and looked at him, the expression on his face was hard to read, "No wonder Lord Gu has been the director of Guanglu Temple for eight years. He can't even teach his own children well, how can he be responsible for such an important task?"

The women of the Gu family did not understand the deeper meaning of these words, but Gu Huanian and Gu Jinhui knew that the Gu family's future as officials in the court was probably bleak.

Gu Yan threw away the maids and ran to Gu Jinchu and screamed, "Gu Jinchu, how dare you say that you have never sent anything to Jiang Nansheng? You can fool others but you can't fool me!"

Gu Jinchu looked at her blankly, "Fourth sister, do you know what price your father and brother paid for your nonsense? But what did anyone say in front of you?"

"Gu Jinchu, stop pretending. Bai Wei beside you..."

Hearing the name Bai Wei, Gu Jinchu's face changed, and he pulled Gu Yan over to question her, "Bai Wei? Gu Yan, are you on good terms with Bai Wei?"

Gu Yan looked up at Gu Jinchu, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with a somewhat crazy dark light, and she said with a firm look:

"Why, are you scared now? Bai Wei used to like coming to Ting Yuxuan and told her a lot of things..."

It is true that Bai Wei likes to show off, but she did not reveal too much about Gu Jinchu.

I just vaguely guessed that Gu Jinchu once liked a man, and given her personality, she would definitely take action.

This action was also to test Gu Jinchu. Apparently she guessed right, the man was Jiang Nansheng.

Zheng killed her offspring, and Gu Jinchu hooked up with a man outside her family. They behaved improperly and had no shame. They, mother and daughter, should be despised by everyone in Shengjing!

Gu Jinchu let go of Gu Yan, with too many emotions in his eyes, and shook his head and said, "Fourth sister is really stubborn, and I can't help you."

Everyone in the hall was initially surprised by Jiang Nansheng's demeanor. When the Fifth Master of the Jiang Family saw him today, he found that he was indeed as handsome as the rumors said.

He has not yet recovered from his position as the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple.

At this time, several men in flying fish suits came in from outside. The man in the lead was particularly tall.

Qin Lang drew out the Longquan Sword from his waist, and a cold light flashed before the eyes of everyone in the hall. "Master Jiang, the spies are right there, why are you being so polite to them!"

"Come here, tie her up and take her to the Dali Temple!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Several men wearing flying fish uniforms and wearing swords at their waists walked up and picked up the terrified Gu Yan in their hands.

After Qin Lang took out his Longquan Sword, the Gu family members stood there in a daze. When they saw Gu Yan being caught, they instantly let out screams of fear.

"Ah! My daughter, my husband, please save her!" Li Xianglian crawled down from the kang, looking at these Jinyiwei, she was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Gu Huaqing and Zhou, along with their two children, hid far away in a corner of the main hall with their mouths tightly shut.

If the windows were not open and the doors were not guarded by guards with swords, they would have fled long ago.

Gu Li, who was sitting at the top, had a wrinkled face that turned pale as paper with fear and she kept swallowing her saliva. Except for the years when her husband passed away, she had never faced such a thrilling scene.

Zheng Liu, Zheng and Wu sat steadily in their chairs. What was happening before their eyes had no effect on them.

They took a sip of the teacup in their hands and looked at the scene in front of them calmly.

When Gu Huanian saw Sister Yan being caught in someone's hand, he was so scared that he couldn't even cry. If Sister Yan was dragged out of the Gu family like this, her reputation would be ruined.

Then, apart from cutting her hair and becoming a nun, she had no other choice but to end her life with Bai Ling.

It was only then that he discovered that the leader of the Jinyiwei was Qin Lang, whom he had met several times.

Gu Huanian hurried forward and asked, "General Qin, no, Lord Qin, how could I, a girl who never leaves the house, offend your Jinyiwei?"

Li Xianglian raised her head when she heard Qin Lang's name, and saw the Zheng family members who had come in from outside the main hall.

Several men standing behind Zheng suddenly realized what was going on.

Why were they, mother and daughter, locked up in Tingyuxuan? And why did the maids and guards in and outside the courtyard disappear after she cried out in abdominal pain?

She fell into the trap set by the Zheng family.

It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Zheng is really cruel!

Today is her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, and she was so cruel as to play such a game.

Looking at Zheng who was sitting steadily in the chair, he asked, "Zheng, just because you are jealous of me, do you want to let the Gu family be buried with you?"

Li Xianglian and her daughter were released by Gu Jinchu. As for why Jiang Nansheng and Qin Lang came, she did not know in advance.

But in this situation, the fault naturally cannot be borne by the mother.

"Madam Ru, Bai Wei is a spy from the Fuso people. Fourth sister just admitted that she has a close relationship with the Japanese. The adults are here to catch the spy, so what are you afraid of?"

After that, he bowed to Jiang Nansheng and said, "Since the Junior Official of the Dali Temple is here, can you help me settle this family affair?"
