Logically speaking, Xu He should have been taken away by Jin Yiwei for questioning at this time.
But Guo Zhu said to two of his men: "You send the prince-in-law back home. If anything happens, I will ask the prince-in-law to come and ask questions tomorrow!"
Yu Ji and everyone were stunned when they heard this.
Especially when Yu Ji heard this and shouted: "Commander Guo, are you wrong? Xu He is also a person involved, why don't you take him away and question him! I won't go either. I will hand the brochure to the palace tomorrow and personally Report this to the emperor!"
Guo Zhumude glanced at him emotionally and said coldly: "I am following His Majesty's holy orders. If you want to leave, then please do so!"
Yu Ji's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this.
Your Majesty already knew about this so soon?
He also asked Guo Zhu to take everyone away, leaving Xu He alone. Obviously, he already knew that Xu He was innocent.
Then what I just said about Xu He like a clown, wasn't it just a joke?
Thinking of this, Yu Ji's entire face was filled with nervousness, and his body was like sieving chaff. He was escorted away by two Jin Yiwei men.
After everyone left, Guo Zhu said casually to Xu He: "Yu Ji is an idiot. There must be someone behind him. Tell me, you read the files and transfers left by Huguang Xingdu Division today. Did you notice anything?"
In fact, Guo Zhu just asked casually. After all, the time was too short, and he had no expectations at all.
Unexpectedly, Xu He actually smiled slightly and said: "I really found something fishy!"
Hearing this, Guo Zhu looked Xu He up and down and said, "I said, why don't you come to my Jinyi Guard? I think you can investigate the case very quickly!"
Xu He smiled slightly: "Come on, according to what you said, I almost lost my life tonight if I broke up with them. If I really want to go to your Jin Yiwei, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well!"
Guo Zhu chuckled: "Do you have any guesses about the person who attacked you?"
After thinking for a while, Xu He shook his head: "No!"
"Where are the weapons? Did the opponent use a bow and arrow? This is no ordinary thief!"
Xu He waved to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao ran over and said, "Consort!"
"Can you figure out the direction of the bows and arrows of those men in black tonight?"
Liu Biao shook his head: "Everything was cleaned up when they left! We didn't have time to dig into it, it was so dark that we couldn't see anything clearly, but this bow is definitely not an ordinary hunting bow, and the sound made by the bowstring is not as loud as that of a hunting bow." soft!"
Guo Zhu looked at Liu Biao and asked, "Who is he?"
"The boss of the princess's house, Liu Biao, if it hadn't been for him tonight, I wouldn't have been able to stand in front of you with all my strength."
Liu Biao heard this and said quickly: "The prince-in-law is a good person and a good minister. How can those rats harm him! I'm just doing my duty!"
Xu He comforted him and asked him to go back and rest.
Guo Zhu looked at Xu He with great interest and said: "You are not afraid of meat and vegetables. You even get along well with eunuchs."
Xu He heard the words and said seriously: "People are afraid of the imperial guards like tigers, and when they see you, Commander Guo, their bodies are like chaff, but am I afraid?"
Hearing this, Guo Zhu also became interested: "Why aren't you afraid?"
"If I haven't done anything wrong, why should I be afraid of you?"
"Second, the few Jinyi guards I know, you and Commander Dong Rui, are all men loyal to the country. It's too late for me to respect you, so why should I be afraid?"
Well, when Xu He said these two words, Guo Zhu was speechless.
Xu He continued: "Eunuchs are also human beings. Sima Qian is still an eunuch. Who among us can look down on Tai Shigong?"
"Eunuchs have been demonized for thousands of years by the civil servants who have the right to speak!"
"In the late Tang Dynasty, eunuchs were eunuchs and all officials were good people?"
Guo Zhu tasted the meaning of Xu He's words and said with great interest: "Your idea is quite fresh!"
Then he looked at Liu Biao and said, "He is from the Nei Cao Army, right? There are many capable people in the Nei Cao Army. If you can really control eunuchs, then they can indeed protect you."
"A capable person?" When Xu He heard these two words, he immediately thought of Lao Zheng.
This old eunuch is so mysterious.
He was said to be at the Queen's side, but he never saw Lao Zheng around Queen Xie several times when he entered the palace.
…
The two of them had a conversation, and Guo Zhu said: "You should go back first, tomorrow morning, haha, you will be busy!"
Sure enough, early the next morning, the burning of the former military governor's mansion shocked the government and the public.
This is the first government office to be burned to rubble since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all sent people to the scene to have a look.
After returning home, they each wrote their own investigation reports.
And one of the parties involved in this matter, Xu He, was sitting in Xu Song's house and recounting everything that happened yesterday.
Xu Song said: "Guo Zhu asked you to show force and break the situation with force. This must be His Majesty's intention."
"The situation in Huguang is very delicate now."
"The people from Nanzhen Fusi went to Zhongxiang, but they couldn't find anything wrong."
"As for the rebels who entered Sichuan, they were carefully prepared by the various guards and chieftains in Sichuan, and then they changed their teams and returned to Huguang!"
Xu He was shocked and asked: "When did it happen?"
"Three days ago!"
Xu He heard this and said directly: "That's for sure, the target of the rebels is Huguang!"
"The reason they went to Sichuan was to divert the imperial troops to Yunyang Prefecture on the border between Huguang and Shaanxi, and to prevent the troops from Shengbutang in the south of Huguang from making any rash moves! To prevent them from going south!"
Xu Song nodded: "The problem now is that there must be a problem near Zhongxiang!"
"And the imperial court turned a blind eye to the true situation in Huguang!"
Xu He nodded: "So your Majesty can't wait any longer. It doesn't matter if the thief can't be found. He still doesn't know his situation. This is a taboo for military strategists!"
Xu Song nodded: "You said someone ambushed you last night. Who do you think these people are?"
"They shouldn't be from the former military governor's office! No, they shouldn't be Yu Ji's group!"
"You mean, there are more than one group of people staring at you, or at the former military governor's mansion!"
"Um!"
"Don't worry about these things for now. The most important thing is to find out the situation in Huguang. Everything has been burned, but there must be some clues left!"
Xu He nodded, Yongzhou is a starting point, but it is not enough!
Suddenly, Xu He said: "Uncle, I'm going out!"
"Where to go?"
"I'm going to Wang Xuedao's home to have a look!"
Xu Song frowned: "Wang Xuedao?"
"My guess is that Wang Xuedao is the one who handles everything. After experiencing so many cases of corruption and perversion of the law in the department, he should also be afraid of being silenced one day. There is no telling what useful information he might be able to leave behind!"
Xu Song nodded: "As soon as possible, even if His Majesty doesn't hurry, I always feel that something big is going to happen!"
Xu He nodded and left.
Returning to the princess mansion, unexpectedly Luo Qingxiao was standing in front of the mansion waiting.
Xu He opened the carriage curtain and said, "What's the matter?"
When Luo Qingxiao saw Xu He, he ran forward excitedly: "Consort, I heard that the Governor's Mansion was burned down. Have you taken care of my matter?"
Xu He smiled bitterly: "You probably have to wait a little longer. It was already done, but it was all burned out!"
When Luo Qingxiao heard this, the color on his face suddenly disappeared!
