Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 101 101. Care
The third prince Rong Ruiyuan looked at him gravely. Is the fourth brother going to show his fangs?
I don’t know who is against him this time. Could it be that the fourth brother is also involved?
As his younger brothers grow older, he has more and more competitors.

The next five, six, seven, or eight princes will also reach the age to enter the court. The forces behind them cannot be underestimated. Just thinking about it makes me feel even more depressed.

His father doted on his mother, but he was unwilling to make any promises. This was forcing him...

"Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense. Minister Gu's case has already been closed. Was this the emperor's will, or do you think he made the wrong decision?"

"Third brother, I didn't say that. I just raised my suspicion." Rong Ruibo looked at the main seat with a sincere face, "Father, I don't know where the military funds went, and they haven't been confiscated from the Gu family. Logically speaking, Minister Gu should be brought in for questioning.

After all, he has been involved in this, so it is impossible that he knows nothing.

I think we should call the Gu family back to the capital and torture them severely. There will definitely be some breakthrough."

The emperor glanced at the third prince. If it weren't for Concubine Liang's sake, he would also want to know where the lost silver was.

But after all, he is the son of the person he loves the most, so he still has to give him some face.

The silver that Gu Baijiang intercepted should have fallen into the third brother's private vault and could not escape from the royal family. That's why he did not investigate further.

But now the Gu family has been robbed and killed many times, and the third brother's people are still protecting them. He really has to think more about the deeper meaning behind this.

Could it be that the third brother hasn’t got the money yet?
Is the third brother so stupid as to leave such an important thing in Gu Baijiang's hands?
It was impossible to re-interrogate Gu Baijiang. The reason why he was treated leniently at that time was to give the third brother some face.

If he calls the person back now, what will happen even if he finds out during the trial? Not only will the third brother lose face, but he, the emperor, will also lose face.

He was unwilling to break this balance before deciding who would be the crown prince.

Several of the princes were born into aristocratic families, but Concubine Liang was of low birth and had no one to rely on. That was why he allowed the third prince to win over court officials and accumulate family wealth, so that he could also check and balance the other princes. Of course, he didn't want to make this matter too ugly.

"Alright, since Gu Baijiang is no longer a minister, there's no need to discuss this matter in court anymore. Order the local authorities to help solve the case and apprehend these scoundrels."

The eldest prince and the second prince looked at each other and turned their heads away.

Since the emperor had spoken about this matter, the ministers under him certainly did not dare to have any more questions. Soon, the court was distracted by other things, and no one stood up to say a word for the Gu family. People left and the tea got cold, and the truth was known here.

When the court was dismissed, the four brothers walked in front. After leaving the Council Gate, they went in their respective directions, like strangers.

The court officials walking behind them saw this scene and said nothing, but they all knew in their hearts that this peaceful day would soon be broken.

Liu Pingkang also received the news from Shangjing. He held the letter in silence for a long time before summoning all his brothers. "If the men in black attack again, just do your best."

All the escorts breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. As long as they were not forced to fight to the death, it would be fine.

It's really not worth it to take such a small salary.

"How has the Gu family been doing these days?" Liu Pingkang asked Ma Zhi, who was in charge of them. "It's been relatively peaceful these days. Madam Gu has been staying in the oxcart the whole time, so I don't know exactly how she's doing.

However, her three sons are quite filial and always serve her.

I seem to have been eating a lot of broth these days, and I stay up late every day, so I should be able to get through this stage. "Ma Zhi didn't make things difficult for the Gu family these days. Besides not wanting to cause trouble, he also did it for Gu Kaiyuan's sake.

"Then don't worry about their family affairs for now, keep an eye on the others and make sure nothing goes wrong.

The next section of the journey will be relatively peaceful, but it will take no more than ten days. Not only will the journey be difficult, but there may also be danger. During these days, you should also keep an eye out for any escort agencies passing by and try to follow them."

The escorts all agreed. Although they were only escorting prisoners, for those bandits, even the smallest mosquito was meat. Moreover, with such a large group, if they could catch a fat sheep, it would be enough for them to live a good life for a long time.

On the Gu family side
Gu Baijiang closed his eyes to rest, but in fact he was enduring the foul smell coming from the car.

Ever since Xu Huizhen was injured, she had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the carriage. In addition to the medicine she took every day and the rotting wounds on her body, you can imagine the mixed smells.

The eldest granddaughter and grandson hid behind the car, lifted the curtain at the back, and leaned against the small window to breathe fresh air.

Xu Yulan now regrets it very much. If she had known that her aunt was so difficult to serve, she should have walked below.

But the eldest sister-in-law was too cunning. She said that as the eldest sister-in-law, she should give in to her younger sister-in-law. Besides, their two children were already in the house, so she was helping to take care of her little nephew outside.

That's her own son, why does he need her to take care of him? Besides, Kaichen is also outside, and Liu Yun just moves her mouth and portrays herself as so noble.

"An Tong, come here and help me hold your grandmother. I'll help her clean up." The old lady had diarrhea again after drinking the water. Her father-in-law was watching beside her, so she really couldn't be lazy.

"I'm coming," Gu Antong didn't dare to say anything, but she would rather stay here than go out to scrub her feet.

It was windy and sunny outside, so she would rather hide inside, at least it wouldn't hurt her skin.

Hold your breath and help Xu Yulan take care of Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen has woken up at this moment, and the pain from the wound makes her groan from time to time.

Now, because of Xu Yulan's movement, the wound was inevitably pulled, "Can't you be a little gentler? You're hurting my wound."

"Mother, you know I'm clumsy and can't do those delicate jobs. Why don't you ask my eldest sister-in-law or my third sister-in-law to do it." Xu Yulan felt that this was a good opportunity. She would rather stay outside and have some peace and quiet than come to serve this old woman.

"What? You don't want to serve?" The sick person became even more sarcastic. Xu Huizhen felt that she was disliked by her daughter-in-law.

At that time, she was so good to Xu Yulan. She suppressed the eldest daughter-in-law and treated the third daughter-in-law in a coquettish way. However, she always treated Xu Yulan as her own daughter and never let her suffer any injustice.

Now I just want her to serve me for a few days, and she wants to find excuses to get out of it. How can she feel comfortable?
Besides, she was not stupid. She had been with Liu for more than ten years and knew her eldest daughter-in-law very well. If she expected her to take care of herself, she might suffer even more.

As for Bai, not to mention that she had never given him a good face before, she was now pregnant, and if she was not taken good care of, she couldn't say anything.
