The remnants of the Yu family? ! The expressions of the two Jin Yiwei who were guarding the gate changed slightly, and their expressions became serious.

After the Yu family was convicted, the whole family of the Yu family was confiscated, Yu Si, Shangqing and other masterminds were sentenced to death, all the Yu family members in the capital were taken into custody, and the emperor ordered Jin Yiwei to go to Yuzhou to arrest other members of the Yu family. Yes, the Yu family and the entire family may all be sent to the frontier.

If there are still remnants of the Yu family fleeing outside, then Jin Yiwei is negligent.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei was about to go in to report, but saw a tall and straight figure just coming out from the other side of the gate, his eyes were half-closed, and he had an aura of power without anger.

"What remnants of the Yu family?" The visitor said coldly, his words were concise, but each word seemed to carry the power of a thunderbolt.

The two Jinyi guards guarding the gate hurriedly saluted the visitor and said, "Commander He."

Pounding! Gu Xiao couldn't help but her heart beat faster, she looked at He Lie, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, who was directly in front of her.

He swallowed his saliva, tried hard to stabilize his emotions, and saluted with fists together: "I have seen Commander He."

Another Jin Yiwei walked out from behind He Lie, and whispered a few words into He Lie's ear.

He Lie raised his thick eyebrows, and when he looked at Gu Xiao again, his eyes darkened a little, as if he had only really seen Gu Xiao at this moment.

"Gu Xiao," He Lie said Gu Xiao's name in one word, and asked straightforwardly, "You said that Gu Yuan harbored the remnants of the Yu family? Do you know what crime it is to falsely accuse the imperial court?"

Gu Xiao's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably again, and he told himself in his heart: Jin Yiwei is the emperor's eyeliner, well-informed, and it's not uncommon to know him as Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao said solemnly: "Commander He, everything I said is true. As far as I know, Yu Si still has an outer room fleeing outside."

While he was speaking, his burning eyes were fixed on He Lie, his heart was in his throat, and he almost forgot to breathe.

The coachman next to him was also sitting on pins and needles, panicked, and felt that all the pedestrians on the street were looking at them, and their eyes seemed to be thorny.

"Oh?" He Lie said indifferently, looking at Gu Xiao calmly, without even moving the corners of his eyes and brows, showing neither emotion nor anger.

Indeed, Yu Si had a favored concubine in the capital, and she was pregnant, but Jin Yiwei almost dug the entire capital three feet into the ground, and couldn't find anyone.

Gu Xiao thought that He Lie didn't believe it, and hurriedly said like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "I also know that Yu Si's outer room gave birth to a son."

"Commander He, their mother and son are now hiding in Yuan'an Street's original Dingyuanhou's Mansion, please go and search quickly, so as not to make people look for opportunities and run away."

He Lie squinted his eyes, staring at Gu Xiao at the bottom of the steps, tightly holding the saber at his waist with one hand, and didn't express his opinion immediately.

He was already taller and mightier than Gu Xiao, but now he was standing on the stone steps, as if a majestic mountain stood in front of him, but his presence would give Gu Xiao an invisible pressure.

"..." Gu Xiao's forehead faintly seeped cold sweat.

If Jin Yiwei was concerned about the eldest prince and was unwilling to act rashly, he could completely pretend that this incident never happened.

Gu Xiao took a deep breath, raised her voice, and repeated the speech she had prepared a long time ago: "The Emperor Taizu has something to say, all real-name reports must be accepted, and those who are answered must be investigated, and those who are investigated must be resolved."

His loud voice resounded almost half the street, and most of the passers-by heard it.

He came to Jinyiwei today to report with his real name. If Jinyiwei didn't answer, it would be against the original intention of Taizu to establish Jinyiwei.

"Or, Jin Yiwei didn't dare to investigate?!"

Gu Xiao said word by word, the last sentence was tantamount to pushing He Lie up, and he almost said that the commander of the other party's dignified Jin Yiwei was afraid of Gu Yuan or was playing favoritism.

He Lie looked down at Gu Xiao, narrowed his sharp eyes, and released a dangerous breath invisible.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei next to him observed the words and expressions, stepped forward half a step, and issued a warning on behalf of his own commander, and the words were like a knife: "Gu Xiao, the emperor Taizu Yiyun, if you deliberately make a false accusation, you will be punished for fifty years and three years in the army." !"

It's not that cats and dogs can come to Beizhen Fusi without any evidence to make a fuss!

Gu Xiao felt a little guilty in her heart, but she still didn't avoid her gaze, and said with her neck raised, "I didn't make a false accusation."

"He's in Gu's mansion now, Commander He just needs to take someone to Gu's mansion to search!"

He Lie stared at Gu Xiao for a long time, his gaze was cold, until Gu Xiao's neck was covered with cold sweat.

For a moment, Gu Xiao almost wanted to retreat, but He Lie said flatly, "Okay!"

His word is the final word.

Gu Xiao felt relieved, the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably, her eyes were burning.

As soon as He Lie gave an order, the Jinyi Guards under his command immediately took action, but in just a short cup of tea, a team of about 20 people set off from Beizhen Fusi, and Gu Xiao naturally accompanied him.

The place where Jin Yiwei passed by was imposing, with fresh clothes and angry horses, all passers-by, carriages and horses all avoided, and there was quite an atmosphere of jitteriness.

After a stick of incense, the group arrived at Gu's Mansion on Yuan'an Street under the suspicious eyes of passers-by. The red lacquer gate of Gu's Mansion was knocked heavily by Jin Yiwei.

"Boom boom boom!"

The concierge shouted "Here we come" and hurried over to open the door. He was stunned to see that it was Jin Yiwei.

One of the guards in Jinyi said majestically: "Our commander has something important to see Gu Qianhu!"

Although the Jin Yiwei's attitude was not bad, the porter who came to answer the door was still a little uneasy. After all, Jin Yiwei's prestige was known to everyone in the capital, and everyone knew that Jin Yiwei's visit was probably not good.

The concierge stammered slightly: "My lord, our uncle is having a banquet in the small garden."

A woman's feet were a little soft, but she ran to the northwest immediately, intending to report to Gu Yuan.

He Lie left a few Jinyi guards outside the mansion, and led a dozen people into the high threshold, not paying attention to the people outside the mansion who heard the news and came to see the excitement.

"Commander He, let me lead you there." Gu Xiao volunteered with some urgency, and squeezed up from behind the crowd.

It wasn't until this moment that the concierge of the Gu family realized that Gu Xiao was there.

Under the guidance of Gu Xiao, a group of guards in Jinyi walked towards the small garden with strides, and there was a chilling air in their steps.

Wherever he passed, it seemed as if a bitter cold wind was whistling past, and the servants of Gu's mansion were all in fear, not knowing what happened to provoke Jin Yiwei to come to the door.

Gu Xiao naturally noticed the uneasiness of these servants, and when he thought of being expelled by the guards before, he felt angry.

He strode forward with his head held high, impatiently waiting for Gu Yuan's face to change.

In the water pavilion in the small garden, it was still lively, Fan Beiran, Lu Si, Yue Jun and others did not leave, they were still drinking, punching and joking.

Even seeing Jin Yiwei's arrival, these people were quite calm.

They knew He Lie, and He Lie also knew many of them. Although these young masters were not the eldest sons or heirs of the family, they were not unknown people. The twelve guards serve, and several of them are well-known playboys.

Gu Yuan stood up gracefully, and cupped his hands at He Lie: "Commander He."

His expression and posture are quite relaxed, even in the face of the fearsome Jin Yiwei Commander, he can talk and laugh with ease, as if the person standing in front of him is just an ordinary person.

He Lie straight to the point and explained the purpose of coming: "Gu Qianhu, someone reported that your house is hiding the remnants of the Yu family."

As he said that, He Lie looked at Gu Xiao who was a few steps away, "The whistleblower is Ling's cousin."

Inside the water pavilion, there was silence for a while, and all the young masters looked at each other, all startled.

Before Gu Yuan could speak, Lu Ruo questioned Gu Xiao first: "Gu Xiao, what are you talking about about the remnants of the Yu family for no reason, just to get revenge on A Yuan for driving you out just now?!"

Lu Ru snorted coldly, and put down the wine glass in his hand heavily.

Everyone's contemptuous gazes shot at Gu Xiao like knives, Gu Xiao didn't care, but raised his chin even higher.

"Revenge?" He Lie raised his eyebrows in doubt.

The person who explained was Fan Beiran: "Just now we had a good drink, Gu Xiao suddenly visited without warning and came to make trouble, so A Yuan was kicked out. You came so fast, it must be because he left here and went Let’s go to Beizhen Fusi. Hmph, isn’t this revenge?!”

"I didn't take revenge!" Gu Xiao raised his chin and said loudly, "I'm telling the truth. There are clearly babies crying in this mansion, but my elder brother categorically denies it. He insists that it's meowing. I see him It’s just a guilty conscience.”

"Besides, I've asked the old servants in the mansion, and many people have heard the baby's night cry in the past half a month."

"Commander He, hurry up and order someone to search, and don't let anyone run away!" Gu Xiao said eagerly.

The maids and women next to her couldn't help but show apprehension.

Many of them have also heard about babies crying at night, so they couldn't help swallowing: Could it be that what the second young master said is true?

The air in the water pavilion became somewhat stagnant.

"Gu Qianhu," He Lie cupped his hands, and his tone was not salty, "I asked my cousin to report in real name, Jin Yiwei is also a businessman."

It means that Jin Yiwei didn't mean to target the Gu family either.

Gu Yuan glanced at Gu Xiao indifferently, his handsome face was calm and unwavering, and he said to He Lie straightforwardly: "Then investigate."

"However, there are two younger sisters and a widowed aunt in the mansion, so please don't worry about the female relatives."

He Lie naturally knew who Gu Yuan's biological sister was, and Fang Zheng smiled a little on his face, and promised, "Gu Qianhu, don't worry, I won't disturb the two... two girls in your house and Aunt Ling's... .”

He Lie originally wanted to say "Second Girl", but he changed his words abruptly in the middle of the sentence.

"Please." Gu Yuan said calmly, and ordered Wutong to find some stewards to lead Jin Yiwei.

He Lie just waved his hand casually, and the dozen or so Jinyi guards who accompanied him scattered in all directions, divided into several groups well-trained and began to search the mansion.

This incident spread throughout the whole family in an instant, the servants, maidservants, and women in the family were all trembling, and their hearts were up and down.

If Jin Yiwei really found the remnants of the Yu family, it would be harboring criminals ordered by the court. I am afraid that the Gu family will inevitably end up in exile, and their servants will have no good end.

The mansion was shrouded in a faint shadow from top to bottom.

All the young masters in the water pavilion were still talking and laughing at Yanyan.

The road didn't seem to be seen at all, and he invited He Lie to sit down, and ordered tea with a smile, and teased Gu Yuan by the way: "A Yuan, you don't have a golden house to hide your beauty, do you?"

Gu Yuan: "..."

"Hey, with Ah Yuan's incomprehensible temperament?" Fan Beiran shook his head sighing, and sang together with Lu Ru, "Have you forgotten? We went to listen to a little song last time, and the oiran lady poured wine for him kindly. He almost broke his arm!"

"I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!"

It's not a big deal for the young masters to watch the excitement, so you and I started to tease Gu Yuan.

No one asked Gu Xiao to sit down, so he could only stand there in a daze, watching them drink, watch them chat, watch them continue to throw pots... the anger in his heart rose little by little.

Don't worry, there will be a time when Gu Yuan will cry in the future! Gu Xiao collected himself, thought to himself, the corners of his mouth curled up again.

Fan Beiran drank another glass of wine and seemed to be smiling, but in fact his eyes were on Gu Xiao all the time, and he felt a little uneasy: Gu Xiao went to the Jinyiwei to report, if it was proved to be a false accusation, he would be punished fifty times and expelled into the army for three years. Since Gu Xiao dared to do this, he might have set up some tricks and left behind.

Fan Beiran exchanged glances with Lu Si and the others indiscriminately.

It took more than half an hour for Jin Yiwei to search, and only returned to Shui Pavilion in twos and threes to report.

"Commander," Ni Zongqi, who led the team, clasped his fists at He Lie and said, "The subordinates have searched the entire mansion, and no suspicious person has been found."

It was impossible to dig three feet into the ground in half an hour, so Jin Yiwei just searched it roughly, checked the personnel of the Gu Mansion, and generally found nothing wrong.

The maids and women were relieved.

He Lie looked at Gu Xiao sharply and dangerously, Gu Xiao was stunned by his gaze, and hurriedly said, "Wait!"

"Commander He, I heard it again!" Gu Xiao quickly walked a few steps towards the window on the west side of the water pavilion, her eyes were unusually bright, and she looked out the window, "I heard the baby crying again."

All Jin Yiwei held their breath and held their voices.

Those sons and brothers also subconsciously kept silent.

Inside the water pavilion, there was silence.

"Wow! Wow..."

In the "russling" sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves outside the window, there were a few babies crying, only two or three times intermittently.

After that, the crying stopped, only the colorful flowers and trees in the garden were swaying gently in the wind.

Surrounded by silence, the atmosphere is dignified and silent, and the air seems heavy.

"It's over there." Gu Xiao raised his hand through the open window, pointing to a rockery across the pond, "The cry just now should have come from there."

He Lie looked at Mr. Ni and asked with his eyes. Mr. Ni shook his head, meaning that they found nothing when they searched this small garden just now.

He Lie turned his head and asked Gu Yuan again: "Is there a secret room in your residence?"

"No."

"have!

Two different answers sounded at the same time.

The one who shook his head was Gu Yuan, and the one who nodded was Gu Xiao.

All eyes flocked to Gu Xiao.

"Brother, don't hide it anymore." Gu Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he sighed, "It's not a secret that there is a secret room in the mansion. You know it, and I know it too. Hey, brother, you are the one who brought the remnants of the Yu family Hide it in the secret room."

Gu Xiao raised his arm again and pointed in the direction of the rockery, and said forcefully, "The secret room is in the rockery."

He Lie made a gesture to President Ni, and President Ni immediately understood, and led seven or eight Jinyi guards towards the rockery with great momentum.

The maids and women in the water pavilion looked towards the rockery one by one, their hearts were beating wildly and their hearts were restless.

This time, Jin Yiwei moved very quickly, and after a while, President Ni came back in a hurry and said solemnly: "Commander, a secret room was found on the other side of the rockery."

"And, there was crying from inside."

Saying that, Ni Zongqi glanced at Gu Yuan with complicated eyes.

There was silence again.

Gu Xiao next to him raised the corners of his lips even higher, straightened his back, and looked at Gu Yuan provocatively.

He Lie stood up, dusted off his robe, and said to Gu Yuan, "Then... go and have a look?"

"Please." Gu Yuan stood up in a calm manner, with no surprise or anger on his face.

The other young masters also got up one after another, their faces a little dignified.

They knew Gu Yuan well, and judging by his appearance, it was obvious that they really didn't know that there was a secret room in the mansion.

That alone is unsettling.

No one is a fool, this is clearly a game set up by Gu Xiao!

A group of people surrounded Gu Yuan and He Lie out of the water pavilion, bypassed the pond, and walked towards the rockery.

There was a chilling atmosphere in the air, like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

"Commander, Gu Qianhu, this way." Ni Zongqi led everyone into the fake cave, until they came to a small dark door, "The door of this secret room is very hidden, and it is difficult for the subordinates to wait." It took a while to find out.”

This door is less than seven feet high, and it is dark inside, and it does not know where it extends...

"Whoa - whoa -"

From the depths of the secret room, there were intermittent crying sounds, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, hoarse, the voice was slightly distorted through the narrow passage of the secret room, and it sounded a little scary.

There is clearly something hidden in this secret room.

He Lie's eyes gradually sank.

"This subordinate found the oil lamp!" Another Jin Yiwei with a diamond-shaped face hurried over with two oil lamps.

He Lie ordered: "Go down and have a look."

Naturally, such a small matter did not require He Lie to do it himself, Ni Zongqi led three or four guards in brocade clothes and carried oil lamps down the stairs.

Everyone else stood outside and waited.

Fan Beiran, Lu Si, Yue Jun and others surrounded Gu Yuan, silently expressing their attitude.

Their eyes all glanced at Gu Xiao, their eyes were as cold as a sharp sword.

The wind with the fragrance of flowers is blowing towards me, but at this moment, it makes people feel short of breath and a little suffocated.

Gu Yuan stared fixedly at the secret room directly in front of him with faintly flickering lights, and stood with his hands behind his back.

So far, there is nothing he can't understand.

Since the family separated last month, outsiders definitely had no chance to hide in the mansion, that is to say, this person had already hidden here before the separation.

Is it the Yu family?

Nine times out of ten.

So, is it the second uncle or Mrs. Tai who harbored them?

Also, why did that person hide from the Yu family?

The case of the Yu family has been settled, and it is a foregone conclusion. There is absolutely no possibility of a reversal. With the behavior of the second uncle and the old lady, it is not possible to take such a big risk.

unless……

Gu Yuan's thoughts flashed, his eyes gradually darkened, and his face was stern and calm, making it hard to see happiness or anger.

"A Yuan, this secret room in your house is really rough." Fan Beiran opened the folding fan in his hand smartly, and said casually, "I heard from my grandfather that the best secret room in the capital belongs to Prince Ning's Mansion. "

"The Nanning Palace was built by Li Yue, a corrupt official in the former dynasty. In order to hide his financial reports, Li Yue built the secret room extremely concealed, and the mechanism was even more complicated. When Li Yue was ordered by the former emperor to search his house, it is said that the imperial army ransacked the entire house. It took ten days to find seven secret rooms."

"I've heard of it too." Lu Si said, "It's said that the secret room of King Ning's Mansion is not only hidden, but also very well sealed. Even if you hide inside, people outside can't hear you even if you shout out loud."

"At that time, the bodies of two thieves were found in one of the secret rooms. The commander of the Imperial Guard who was in charge of the search guessed that the thieves had locked himself in it by accident, and it turned out to be a disaster!" Mr. Fei Liu sighed.

Yue Jun patted Gu Yuan's shoulder, and suggested solemnly: "A Yuan, you'd better check all this mansion some other day, in case there is any secret room hiding some unknown corpse, how unlucky it is! "

A few people made jokes and seemed to be chatting, but they were actually telling Gu Yuan in another way that they were all on his side, and at the same time reminded Jin Yiwei that the person hiding in the secret room might have sneaked in by himself.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly there was the sound of something being smashed in the secret room, and Zongqi Ni's scolding voice: "Take it down!"

These two words made everyone outside change their faces.
