Chapter 526 Hard Bones
Chapter 526 Hard Bones
I saw a woman coming out with some armor and weapons, and throwing them on the ground.
Then, more people came with letters and account books that were "searched" from the General's Mansion.
Gu Qingyuan said, "This is the general's residence. Isn't it normal to have a few weapons here?"
The woman sneered and said, "How do you explain these letters? I've read them, and they all show General Gu and others plotting a rebellion."
She also held up the account book and pointed at several huge expenditures, questioning, "I'm afraid the General's Mansion won't be able to use up all this money in years. So where did it go? Could it be that General Gu used it to recruit soldiers and train his own people?"
Gu Qingyuan snatched the account book and found that all these things were completely fictitious, as if they were fabricated.
She tore up the account book in a few seconds. The woman looked at her and said, "Young Master Gu is indeed anxious, but the account book in your hand is just one of them."
Gu Qingyuan's haste to destroy the account book only served to solidify the accusation that the General's Mansion was guilty of treason, and she tore up the account book out of guilt.
Afterwards, the woman stopped talking to them and said, "Come here, bring General Gu back to the palace. As for the Gu family, seal it off first."
There was a wailing sound in the yard.
Gu Qingyuan stood in front of General Gu, his eyes firm, "You can't touch my mother."
"Young Master Gu, please don't stop us from doing our work."
The woman said coldly.
Then General Gu's voice sounded from behind Gu Qingyuan. She said to Gu Qingyuan, "If you haven't done it, then you haven't done it. I'll go with them to the palace. You stay at home."
For some reason, Gu Qingyuan felt her nose sore and she felt like crying.
General Gu easily pushed Gu Qingyuan away and stood out from behind her.
Her expression was serious as she said to the people who came to search the General's Mansion: "I can go with you, but you can't touch anyone in the General's Mansion."
Those people looked at each other and took General Gu out.
Outside, Xixi and Xiaonian saw General Gu being escorted out, and they hurriedly struggled to break free from the man driving the carriage.
The two people shouted in unison: "Grandma!"
General Gu was surprised why they came here. She originally thought that Gu Qingyuan came alone.
Xixi and Xiaonian wanted to get closer to General Gu, but were stopped by someone.
Xixi asked, "You bad guys, why do you want to arrest my grandma?"
"Oh, Miss Gu, we are just following orders. There is irrefutable evidence that General Gu is plotting treason, and I'm afraid you are also..."
Xixi blurted out: "Impossible, someone is obviously framing my grandma!"
She raised her face and continued, "Grandma, I remember now. I caught that Luo trying to sneak into your room and put something there. Later, he went out to meet other women and said that his plan almost succeeded. So I have a reasonable suspicion that she did all this!"
"Oh, is it worth taking a child's words seriously?"
The woman who was holding General Gu had people hold down Xixi and Xiaonian, and continued to lead General Gu towards the palace.
In fact, with General Gu's strength, she can completely break free from these people.
But now that everyone is watching, if she takes action, it will probably cause even more trouble.
Finally, General Gu looked back at the general's mansion and saw Gu Qingyuan standing at the door with a worried look on his face.
In this way, General Gu was brought into the palace, and the general's mansion was sealed and heavily guarded outside to prevent anyone from approaching.
Gu Qingyuan was extremely anxious at this time.
Xixi and Xiaonian ran to her side with tears on their faces.
"Wow, what should I do? Grandma has been taken away by them. Those bad guys will definitely bully her."
Gu Qingyuan calmed herself down and said to them, "Let's go home first."
After taking the two children back to the other house, Gu Qingyuan settled them down and left immediately.
She also wants to go to the palace now.
Not long after the general's mansion was sealed off, someone came here to search.
However, because they didn't find anything, those people went back.
At this time, after Wen Shubai learned about this, he saw the two children who had been crying. Thinking of what Gu Qingyuan had instructed, he went over to coax them.
The two children were sobbing. They didn't expect something like this to happen when they came back from the academy today.
In the main hall, General Gu was forced to kneel before the Sixth Princess.
The Sixth Princess raised her thin lips slightly, with a meaningful smile on her face, and asked, "General Gu, do you admit your guilt?"
General Gu said calmly, "I don't know what crime I have committed."
"Be bold!"
The Sixth Princess stood up and said, "I sent people to search the General's Mansion and found letters in which you and others discussed rebellion. We also found a large number of weapons in the General's Mansion. Doesn't this prove that you have evil intentions and want to rebel?"
General Gu raised his head and looked directly at the Sixth Princess.
"Today, His Majesty suddenly led people into the General's Mansion and directly searched my room and found these things. It seems that His Majesty's people are more familiar with the General's Mansion than I am."
"What do you mean? Are you trying to frame me?"
The Sixth Princess snorted coldly and had General Gu taken away.
"You're just being stubborn, huh? Then torture her. I want to see how tough she is."
Soon, General Gu was taken to the prison.
Not long after, Gu Qingyuan rushed into the palace from outside the palace.
"I want to see His Majesty!"
But the palace maids stopped her and wouldn't let her go in.
When the Sixth Princess heard the news that Gu Qingyuan had arrived, she ordered, "Don't let her in, and don't let anyone know that General Gu was tortured."
She had suffered at the hands of Gu Qingyuan before, and now she just wanted to play with her slowly.
But let’s destroy the general’s mansion first and then see what Gu Qingyuan will do.
There was a hint of amusement on the Sixth Princess's face.
In the prison at this time.
The whip with barbs on it fell on General Gu's body, and it was obvious that the executioner was beating General Gu with all his might.
General Gu's body was covered with whip marks, but he didn't say a word.
After a hundred lashes, the whip broke halfway through, and the executioner replaced it with another one.
"General Gu, you still refuse to confess?"
"Heh, why would you admit to something you didn't do?"
"You're really stubborn."
She took the pepper water and poured it on General Gu's wound. The pepper water caused a burning pain when it touched the wound.
After the Sixth Princess ascended the throne, she replaced everyone in the palace with her own people.
Now she ordered them to "take good care" of General Gu, and naturally the people in the prison dared not disobey.
"General Gu is a tough guy."
He didn't even make a sound after being whipped a hundred times.
"That's all for today."
Soon someone came out with a bucket and a bloody whip.
