Chapter 263 The truth comes out
Arrows with open flames shot through the air and hit the carriage directly.
Qi Shiliu, who was driving the car, pulled out his sword to block the rocket, quickly took out two projectiles from his arms, and threw them at the walls on both sides of the alley. They exploded with a "bang", and a thick fog filled the air, and the people who were ambushing on the wall inhaled The poisonous smoke fell down one after another.
Su Wan opened the curtain and took a look at the white smoke rising from the wall: "Sixteen, go and see who it is."
"Yes." Qi Shiliu climbed up with a vigorous posture.
Pick up the person hanging on the wall and throw it down directly.
Gu Huaizhi looked through it and determined that these people were just ordinary hired guards.
Su Wan pulled out the arrow from the quiver, checked the arrowhead, and found that it was smeared with poison.
He couldn't help but sneered, "Liu, this is making it impossible for us to come back."
At this time, Mo Yuan drove a carriage and arrived.
"Master, Liu Mao did not come out from the Changxing Palace. His subordinates sent people to guard the door. Liu Rongran has been caught. What do you plan to do with him?"
"Detain them for interrogation." Gu Huaizhi glanced at the guards on the ground: "Send these people to King Changxing."
"Yes." Mo Yuan carried the person to the car.
Qi Shiliu followed to help.
Mo Yuan returned to Changxing Prince's Mansion.
Su Wan thought of Gu Yunzhen: "What will King Changxing do to the Liu family?"
She was worried that she would relent.
"How he treats Mrs. Liu is his business. Mrs. Liu is guilty of my fault, and the outcome has been decided." Gu Huaizhi's eyes were dark, and there was no way he would let Mrs. Liu go.
Su Wan felt relieved: "Let's not wait until the new year to return to Dazhou. Let's start tomorrow, right? The second brother and third sister are studying in seclusion with Mr. Jiang. Only my mother is alone in the capital, so she will be lonely."
What she was most worried about was that Mrs. Liu would act like a monster and send people to Dazhou to attack Gu's mother.
Although there are people protecting Gu's mother, Liu's methods are so cunning that she is afraid that she will be unable to prevent her.
"Okay." Gu Huaizhi responded.
——
Changxing Palace.
In the gloomy dark prison, the walls were covered with torture instruments, stained with blood.
Xu Chou and Liu were imprisoned in a secret prison.
King Changxing stood at the door and heard a suppressed groan of pain coming from inside. There was no emotion on his face. The orange firelight imprinted on his face, unable to remove the layer of ice covering his face.
A small square window was opened on the door panel, and he could clearly see that Xu Chou's body was covered with deep and shallow blood marks from the whip, and his mouth was so hard that he couldn't pry it out.
Ms. Liu fell to the ground, her face pale, and one of her little fingers was cut off.
"Your Majesty." The guard stepped forward and asked, "What are your orders?"
King Changxing muttered: "Separately interrogate the two people."
The guard was surprised, and without asking any questions, he went in and ordered the executioners inside to separate the people.
After a while, the guards dragged Xu Chou out.
Xu Qiu gasped to relieve the pain, his head was covered in cold sweat, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his eyes filled with hatred were staring at Gu Qingsong at the door.
With a "clang" sound, Xu Chou was imprisoned in a secret cell next door.
Gu Qingsong waited for two quarters of an hour before entering Xu Chou's interrogation room.
Xu Qiu's hands were hung up by iron chains, and there was no intact part of his body. The guard held a red-hot iron in his hand and was about to press it on his chest. When he saw Gu Qingsong coming in, he immediately stood aside.
"Your Majesty."
Gu Qingsong waved his hand and motioned for them to step back.
Xu Chou bulged his eyes and glared at Gu Qingsong fiercely.
"Xu Chou." Gu Qingsong's eyes fell on his face. There was a fake scar on the bridge of his nose. Even he couldn't tell which part of this face was different from his: "Ms. Liu can't bear the punishment. You already recruited them all seven years ago..."
He paused deliberately and observed Xu Qiu carefully. His pupils tightened and he suddenly became nervous.
Gu Qingsong said calmly: "I will give you a chance. If you tell the truth, if Mrs. Liu did not lie to me, I will help you."
Xu Chou stared at Gu Qingsong closely, trying to get clues from his face. Did Liu tell everything? What was explained? Have you explained Zhen'er's matter? Or maybe Liu didn't say anything and Gu Qingsong was deceiving him?
Gu Qingsong's face suddenly turned cold, and he said harshly: "If she is still trying to deceive this king, I will send you to the underworld to keep her company."
Xu Qiu tried his best to stay calm and slowly analyzed Gu Qingsong's words. Mrs. Liu, a woman who is greedy for life and afraid of death, will definitely not reveal Gu Yunzhen's life experience!
No one knows better than him that Gu Qingsong doesn't like Liu at all and has not touched her for so many years. If Mrs. Liu had an affair with him, Gu Qingsong would only feel that the man's dignity was damaged.
The fact that Gu Yunzhen was not his son made the situation particularly serious. Gu Qingsong knew Gu Yunzhen's life experience and would not interrogate him so calmly. He would have stabbed them both to death on the spot, so why bother to extract a confession?
Mrs. Liu knew very well that she could say anything, but this matter could only rot in her stomach.
"Ms. Liu and I met seven years ago. She said that I looked similar to her lover, and she helped me several times. She was beautiful, gentle and considerate, and helped me solve my problems. It was hard not to be attracted to her. At that time, I I didn't know that she was married, I only knew that she died of a man. Later I found out that she was the woman of the dignified King Changxing. I was afraid and retreated, but she was unwilling to let me go and kept me in captivity if she dared to escape. You have to find ways to deal with me and maintain this shady relationship."
"She went to see me yesterday and told me what happened between her and you, and begged me to play you and stir up a father-son relationship between you and Gu Huaizhi. As long as I succeeded, she would give me my freedom. I was so excited for a moment. Agree." Xu Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that Gu Huaizhi was very alert and quickly discovered something was wrong with me, so he had nothing more to do than this."
Gu Qingsong frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
Xu Qiu was too calm. The fact that he had an affair with Liu and pretended to be him had already been revealed before he was put in a secret prison. He said before that Liu had confessed everything, and Xu Qiu was obviously very nervous.
After observing him later, he suddenly became very calm and took the initiative to confess.
What's more, he had an affair with Mrs. Liu. Even if he escaped, Mrs. Liu would not dare to do anything to him in a big way. Qin Luo went to investigate and found that over the years, the Liu family had not arranged for anyone to keep an eye on Xu Chou. He had many opportunities to escape, but he did not escape.
When his identity was first exposed, Xu Chou was still defending the Liu family, as if he had some leverage in the Liu family. If Xu Chou loves Mrs. Liu, and he just said that Mrs. Liu confessed, according to normal psychology, Xu Chou should have refuted it, or tried his best to ignore Mrs. Liu, saying that he forced her to do so.
There must be something important that he has overlooked.
Suddenly, Gu Qingsong thought that Xu Chou and Liu had known each other for seven years.
seven years...
At that time, he and Liu were not married yet.
Later, it was because Liu was pregnant...
Gu Qingsong's face was ashen and he wanted to deny this absurd idea, but once he had this idea, he couldn't suppress his excitement. After all, Gu Yunzhen was born one month early, and Liu lied to him that he was born prematurely. If you think about it, there is a trace!
He picked up the red-hot iron in the guard's hand and pressed it on Xu Chou's chest, with a gloomy look: "Xu Chou, I said that if you tell the truth, I will make your family happy. You didn't seize the opportunity, don't blame me. Cruel and vicious."
Xu Chou howled miserably, and upon hearing Gu Qingsong's words, panic flashed in his eyes.
Gu Qingsong caught it and felt as if there was a piece of ice in his heart.
No need to say more, he already knew it in his heart.
"Kill." Gu Qingsong dropped the iron and walked out of the secret cell.
At this time, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, Doctor Su's people have sent a group of people to ambush them halfway to assassinate them."
Gu Qingsong's eyes were sharp, how could he not understand?
The Liu family sent people to assassinate Gu Huai and silence him!
"Bring it here." Gu Qingsong dropped these words and went to Liu's darkroom.
Mrs. Liu curled up in pain, her clothes were soaked by the cold water, and the cold wind made her tremble.
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Liu opened her eyes. The moment she saw Gu Qingsong, her eyes burst into light, igniting a touch of life. Is Gu Qingsong still willing to come because Gu Yunzhen begged for mercy and was willing to spare her life?
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. Zhen'er cannot live without her mother. I am willing to spend the rest of my life trying to atone for my mistakes and pray for my sister and Huaizhi." Suddenly, Mrs. Liu A flash of inspiration flashed, and he stretched out a hand to grab the hem of Gu Qingsong's robe: "Your Majesty, I can go to Dazhou and explain to my sister clearly that I was the one who took you away in confusion. You have always been thinking about them and have not given up. Your wife abandons your son, please ask her to forgive you..."
Gu Qingsong resisted the urge to kill her with a sword, and said coldly: "Liu, whose child is Yun Zhen? Do you still need me to tell you?" He squatted down, grabbed her chin with his hand, and forcefully The big ones seemed to be crushed into pieces: "Xu Chou has confessed everything, and you still want to trick me into raising bastards for you?"
Ms. Liu was horrified, her eyes filled with fear, and she opened her mouth to explain. A group of guards carried the unconscious guard in, threw him on the ground, and poured cold water on him to wake him up.
When she saw these people, she was frightened out of her wits.
These people fell into the hands of Gu Qingsong. Could it be that the assassination of Gu Huaizhi was not successful?
"The king...the prince..."
Gu Qingsong wanted to cut this woman into pieces with a thousand knives!
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be separated from his wife.
His wife and children suffered greatly, and his youngest son died in infancy.
He prayed for a bastard and sought famous doctors everywhere!
Gu Qingsong almost squeezed it out through the gap between his teeth: "If you have anything else to deceive me, I will tell you today. If you don't tell the truth, Yun Zhen and the Liu family will all go down to keep you company!"
Mrs. Liu's neck seemed to be strangled, and she made a roaring sound in her throat. She grabbed Gu Qingsong's wrist and said painfully: "Don't...don't kill them. I...I said...I...we have no relationship as husband and wife." Really, I...I lied to you...ah..."
Gu Qingsong threw Ms. Liu to the ground, looked at the guard who had woken up with a scared face, and gnashed his teeth and said: "You cut her into pieces with a thousand cuts, a total of three thousand cuts. If one less cut caused her to die early, you will do it for her." Got it.”
