Chapter 293
,!
Unlike Gu Xi's reaction, He Ming was still alive and looked at Ning Huo's party casually.
Ning Qi did not have the same concentration as He Ming. He had been following Gu Xi before, and saw her entering and leaving the Gu Family Ancestral Hall several times, and the last time she even brought something in.
Of course, he did not ignore Wen Jun's fiery red figure.
The scholars in the entire academy knew that Wen Jun was definitely not a nosy person and would not easily break into other people's houses.
But he was obviously very anxious just now, and even forgot to say hello to Eunuch Liu and others.
Wen Jun’s abnormal reaction is hard not to doubt. Ning Qi was afraid that the assassin would really appear in the Gu family, and he was also involved with Wen Jun and others.
That way...
Ning Qi didn't dare to think down. He rushed in front of Ning Huo and pointed at the two men in black on the ground to change the topic.
"It's probably these two people. Assassins, aren't they all like this? Hurry up and ask for the question." He said, winking at Gu Xi without any trace.
Gu Xi was surprised by Ning Qi's performance. Generally, as a descendant of the Ning family, Ning Qi should stand in the Ning family camp. No matter what, he was able to suppress the Gu family and keep the Ning family first.
Fortunately, Ning Qi reminded him that Gu Xi pushed He Ming from the side and raised his eyebrows to the man in black on the ground.
He Ming also felt obediently and asked someone to wake up the two men in black on the spot, saying to the officers and soldiers: "If you really come after the assassin, then it must be these two people. They not only carry weapons, but also have a lot of medicines."
The leader then found that there were indeed two men in black on the ground outside the Gu family courtyard. But no matter how he looked, he felt that the real assassin was still hiding in the Gu family courtyard.
He didn't have time to associate with the person who was chasing the assassin first, and could not determine whether these two were real assassins. So he said: "The assassin we chased was not wearing black clothes. He has always been the same person, so these two..."
He Ming did not give the leader a chance to defend himself and said bluntly: "Are you these two people? You can interrogate them first. There are so many people sitting around the Gu family. Will there be no assassins appear in there?"
After saying that, He Ming stepped forward and kicked the two men in black who were still in chaos, and asked, "Are you the assassins who were hunted down and hid in the Gu family in panic? If you were not the assassins, why did you sneak into the Gu family?"
The two men in black struggled for a few times to sit up. They thought that only the Gu family was present, but after seeing a large number of people, they were all stunned.
What is this situation? Are they being plotted against?
No, their master was taken advantage of.
Thinking of this, the two of them had only one thought, which was to commit suicide by swallowing poison. They could not let their master be exposed in front of others because of their negligence in love.
Thinking of this, the two of them really tried to grit the medicine bag on their teeth.
Unfortunately, no matter how they grind their teeth, the so-called poison sac was not moving at all.
"You don't think that the thing on your teeth is still there, right? Don't worry, even if you are a dead soldier, you have to wait until you answer our questions before you can die. Don't waste your time." Gu Xi looked at the two people who seemed to be scared and said proudly.
As soon as Gu Xi said something, He Ming and Ning Qi were surprised. Such Gu Xi was really not the Gu Xi they knew in the past.
Even they didn't expect that the two men in black were dead soldiers, and they didn't expect that the two men had poison bags hidden in their mouths.
But Gu Xi all thought that he could still come forward to induce everyone at this time so that the officer and soldier leader would have no excuse to search the Gu family.
Eunuch Liu looked at Ning Huo who was pretending to be stupid, feeling the inexplicable haggardness of these coincidences. He cleared his throat and ordered the leader: "The Za Family is the special envoy sent by the emperor to reverse the case for the Gu Family. He is about to read the imperial edict in public. You are just coincidentally here, just be a witness."
After saying that, Eunuch Liu reached out to the eunuch who was following him, and the eunuch respectfully handed over the imperial edict that had been holding in his arms to Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu raised the bright yellow sacred silk with both hands and shouted loudly: "The imperial edict is here!"
The three father and son of the Gu family, as well as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lan family, did not expect such a reversal, and immediately knelt in front of Eunuch Liu.
Gu Xi looked at the Gu family who was kneeling devoutly and felt very strange. This was the first time she saw the ancients kneeling to receive the imperial edict with her own eyes. She felt inexplicably subtle and always felt that it was a bit funny.
He Ming quietly pulled Gu Xi's sleeve and unexpectedly found that she didn't forget to kneel down because of surprise. She really regarded herself as an outsider, but was just watching the fun.
Facing Gu Xi like this, He Ming found it both funny and helpless.
He kicked Gu Xi's leg, carefully pressed Gu Xi down, and whispered: "This is an imperial edict to the Gu family, you are also a member of the Gu family."
Uh ~
Gu Xi stopped getting up and knelt behind the Gu family in a daze, thinking that she didn't seem to be integrated into the role of the Gu family girl, and this must be corrected.
A holy book was finished when Gu Xi was traveling. Gu Xi did not understand those difficult-to-mouthed eight-legged essays. But she could guess some of them.
In the imperial edict, the emperor completely demoted the Gu family to a slave in the academy and could no longer interfere in anything in the academy. As for the advancement of the new academic reform, the emperor had chosen a more suitable person to take over. The emperor also said that no matter what the Gu family has in the future, outsiders have no right to take over. Even if the Gu family really rebelled.
In this way, the officers and soldiers who came after chasing the assassin would really not be able to search the Gu family anymore. Those students who sat quietly to protest would make it meaningless even if they sat through the ground around the Gu family.
Ning Huo was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and was shocked by this unexpected imperial edict.
From then on, even though the Gu family was still a slave, their status was even more noble than that of ordinary officials.
The emperor is declaring to the world that he wants to protect the Gu family and also shows his determination to advance the reform of the new school.
Ning Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the imperial edict. The Gu family got rid of the new learning reform and could live a peaceful life.
Now, he only needs to do his best to solve the Ning family's affairs.
He Ming was also surprised by this sudden imperial edict. But he was very happy. After the Gu family received this imperial edict, they could be safe and worry-free.
As for the matter of slaves, he would just think of another way.
Gu Shi and his son happily received the imperial edict and shouted long live to the mountain in the direction of the imperial city. Lan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law covered her mouth and whimpered, obviously crying with joy.
The Gu family, who suffered for several months due to the new school reform, was a blessing in disguise. They no longer had to be involved in political struggles or face difficulties from people from all walks of life.
The big drama surrounding the Gu family finally came to an end after Eunuch Liu read the imperial edict.
