Red makeup against the world

Chapter 600 The plan to escape
The black carriage reached the side entrance of Duke Zhong's mansion, but instead of going in, it turned a corner and went directly to the back alley.

All the people living in the back alley are servants who work in Duke Zhong's mansion. The title of Duke Zhong has been handed down to the second generation, and the Wu family's line of children is growing day by day.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated small courtyard, let Gu Daopo get out of the carriage first, and the man escorted her to the courtyard.

After entering the room, a man came in after a while, and he brought some breakfast.The three filled their stomachs in silence, and Gu Daopo found that she could speak again.

She didn't dare to shout again, knowing that such tricks were useless in front of these two men.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked straight to the point.

The man who brought her said: "Don't worry, someone will tell you."

……

In the Beiya army, Wu Sheng wore bright armor and patrolled the imperial city twice before returning to sit down in the Yamen.

Xiaowei Luo came in and reported: "General Wu, Commander Wu asked you to come out of the office to discuss something urgent." Wu Sheng was surprised, Wu Zhengxiang had never come to him when he was in the office.

He took a leave of absence and arranged for a general on duty, and he left the Beiya.From a distance, Wu Zhengxiang looked down, walking back and forth in front of his black horse.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his unhappy expression, Wu Sheng asked with concern.

Wu Zhengxiang raised his head, his eyes turned red: "Brother, just follow me back home. There is something I need you to be a witness for me."

"Okay!" Wu Sheng didn't ask what was the matter, he agreed immediately, and the two rode back to the mansion.

As the two of them returned to the mansion, the last rays of the setting sun faded behind them, leaving only the colorful brocade-like clouds in the sky, dimming bit by bit.

Wu Zhengxiang took the lead, and the two went straight to the main courtyard.

Wu Sheng was wondering, when he entered the door, he found that even his father was there, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and asked, "Second brother, what happened?"

Mrs. Chen came out from the inner room, pointed at Wu Zhengxiang with both hands, and shouted: "What's wrong? Your wife is unconscious, are you going to blame me?"

Wu Sheng was startled, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, why did the siblings fall into a coma again? But the previous illness relapsed?"

Wu Zhengxiang nodded with a sad expression: "She's in a coma, but she's not sick." As he spoke, he looked at Chen Shi like a knife: "I didn't say she was in a coma, how did mother know?"

Chen's heart was guilty, and she said forcefully, "I live in the mansion for such a big matter, and I'm not deaf, so how could I not know about it!"

He glanced at Wu Zhengxiang: "You called your father and elder brother, what's the matter? Are you suspicious of me?"

"No hurry, there are still people who haven't arrived yet."

Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, sat down on the main seat, and drank tea slowly.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, Wu Lie coughed lightly, and asked Chun Shan to serve tea for everyone.

A while later, Lu Shi hurried over with her maid.Seeing a few people with unkind expressions, he thought of what he had heard during the day and sat down next to him.

She looked at Wu Sheng, and asked silently. Wu Sheng spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

Wu Zhengxiang still didn't speak, obviously he was still waiting for someone.

Another quarter of an hour later, Wu Chenghe and Wu Jiao rushed over.So far, all the Wu family members have arrived.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what was going on.

Wu Zhengxiang stood up, walked into the room and clapped his hands lightly, a few more people came in from the door, escorted Bai Shan and Gu Daopo to kneel down in the room, and Madam Zheng stood behind.

Wu Zhengxiang clasped his hands: "Father, today my son is making a big fuss because his mother did something that killed someone."

His words were like a thunderbolt, striking everyone's heads.

Wu Jiao was the first to stand up, and scolded: "Wu Zhengxiang, don't spit blood!"

Wu Zhengxiang responded calmly: "I have all the witnesses and evidences. I will know if there is any blood spitting."

Wu Chenghe pulled Wu Jiao back to his seat, seeing the situation, Wu Zhengxiang must have come prepared.How many iron cases have been handled by the commander of the dignified cavalry guards?At this time, it is better to be still than to move.

Chen's complexion has turned pale ever since she saw the ancient Taoist woman who was supposed to go away appear here, and her hands are tightly grasping the armrest of the seat, so tight that even the joints protrude, as if grasping the last piece of driftwood .

Mother He lowered her head, not daring to let others see the look of horror on her face.

Wu Lie took a panoramic view of the expressions of Chen's master and servant, and sighed in his heart. He was very sure that this matter must have something to do with Chen's.

Madam Zheng took a step forward and said, "I would like to report to the Duke, Master, Concubine, Young Master Wu, and Young Madam, please allow me to overstep."

Everyone mentioned it, except Mrs. Chen, who snorted coldly, and put the teacup heavily on the table to express her dissatisfaction.

Wu Lie said: "It's okay, just ask me."

Mother Zheng saluted: "Gu Taoist, let me ask you, what did you do when you entered the mansion three days ago?"

Gu Daopo replied: "Mother He asked me to come into the mansion, saying that the wife of your mansion has suffered from heart palpitations since the second son married his wife. Let me see if there is any evil spirit."

Mother Zheng said: "Mama He please come forward and answer."

Chen slapped the table fiercely: "Think of me as a dead person?" She dared to confront her confidant mother in front of her.

Madam Zheng repeated again: "Mama He please come forward and answer."

Wu Lie said: "Mother He, go forward and answer."

Mama He came out from behind Mrs. Chen with a pale face, and said: "It is true that I invited the Taoist nun to come to the mansion. The old slave is also very loyal. Seeing my wife restless at night, I am really worried." There is nothing wrong with this matter. To deny it, she brought Gu Daopo into the mansion, and many people saw it.

Mother Zheng asked again: "Did you do it in the mansion at midnight last night?"

Gu Daopo agreed.

"Whose birthday horoscope did you use?"

Gu Daopo shook her head: "I don't know who it belongs to. The poor nun figured out that someone in the mansion interfered with his wife's horoscope, and Mother He brought the person's birthday horoscope, hair and undergarments. The poor nun used this method. "

Hearing what she said, Mother He's face was as white as paper, and she hurriedly distinguished: "She's talking nonsense! It's obvious that she said that the second young lady's birth date is in trouble with the wife, how could she not know?"

Gu Daopo looked at her strangely: "So it belongs to the second young lady?" Then she broke free from the shackles of the old woman behind her, and stood up abruptly: "You hurt me! If I knew it belonged to the second young lady, how could I still do it?"

Mother He was trembling with anger: "Well, you old Taoist woman, you are merciless when taking money, this will turn your face and deny people, right?"

"Who in Beijing doesn't know that the Second Young Madam in the mansion is the Queen Mother's most beloved person! Tell me, did I have the guts to commit crimes knowingly? No matter how much money there is, I still have to spend it! "

This is the escape plan Gu Daopo came up with, anyway, only a few people knew about it, she was blinded by Mother He, and she refused to admit it.Those who don't know are not guilty, and they can always find a glimmer of life.
