A notice was issued from the imperial court, and soon the guards with swords posted it all over the walls in the streets and alleys.

What was written in the notice was nothing more than words such as saying that if you voluntarily offer a baby, the court will receive a generous reward.

It's nothing more than coercion and inducement.

When the people saw this, they were furious and fell into the ice cellar.

It's just a case of dead lips and cold teeth.

Now he is a baby. How many more people will die if Emperor Hui decides on another whim in the future?

In just a few days, people in Lin'an City were in panic, and the prince of the Duke's Mansion also became the target of ridicule.

"I thought he was a good person, but I never thought he was actually the lackey in the palace! He can do such a cruel thing! Bah!"

"Keep your voice down. Nowadays, most of the Royal Guards are listening to his orders. I heard that after receiving the imperial edict yesterday, they were searching door to door. They are valued by the emperor, so how can they care about our life and death? This kind of person has led a beast to do evil before. I

It’s not an exaggeration to think that he will go to hell now.”

The man wanted to scold again, but in the next moment he met the man's sarcastic eyes without any warmth. The man was dressed in black straight clothes, standing with his hands behind his back, his nose was straight, and he looked noble. The aura of the superior made him move down his legs.

He became weak and collapsed to the ground.

The surroundings were silent, and everyone was so scared that they lost their courage. How could anyone still have the guts to rush forward and fight Gu Huaizhi just now?

Gu Huai was followed by many imperial guardsmen, all of them fierce and fierce, just waiting for his order to dispatch.

However, he calmly brushed the folds of his clothes and started to leave. When everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they heard the man leave a faint word.

"Send to the Criminal Department."

"Your Majesty, please say goodbye!" The man's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was begging for mercy with snot and tears.

Gu Huaizhi paused and looked around the frightened crowd.

He pursed his thin lips tightly and let out a slight mocking sound. He turned his jade ring finger: "I work for the emperor, how can I allow you and other mere untouchables to pay attention to his orders? Let's go on, if anyone disrespects me again, he will be disrespectful to me.

Anyone who is insulted by the emperor will have their heads chopped off."

As he spoke, he smiled coldly, and his voice was not high, but it was breathless: "I want to see who else dares to talk too much and cause trouble."

Royal Forest Army: "Yes!"

Gu Huaizhi did not stay, but walked to the rice shop on Dongwu Street.

When the shopkeeper saw the visitor, his expression changed drastically. He could only try to control his emotions and go forward to greet the guests in person.

"The prince's visit to my humble home really flatters me."

Gu Huaizhi glanced at him. The shopkeeper had a forced smile on his lips. There was sweat on his forehead.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and said calmly: "The shopkeeper of Wudong Street was blessed with a daughter seven days ago. This is the news I received."

He is now in charge of the Royal Forest Army. Even though he has not explicitly held a position in the court, it is not an exaggeration to call himself an official.

The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned pale.

As if he couldn't care less about the pain, he knelt down on the ground with a bang. He kowtowed to Gu Huaizhi desperately: "Sir, I've been married for a long time. Now I'm 40 or 7, it's not easy.

I just had a daughter."

"My little life is worthless. If you want to kill me or chop me into pieces, you can just take it. I just ask you to let my daughter live."

"Please sir!"

Whatever happened to his daughter, she is also his flesh and blood.

He feels pain in his heart and should protect him for the rest of his life.

Gu Huaizhi acted as if he had not heard anything, and his expression remained unchanged. Before he could say anything more, the imperial guard behind him said with a cold face: "Bless the emperor, it is not in vain for her to come to this world. Hand over the child quickly, otherwise, we will punish her."

!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Huaizhi frowned.

Chang Su on the other side stepped forward and couldn't help but kick the imperial guard who interrupted.

The speed is so fast that the opponent cannot dodge.

The Imperial Guardsmen had no power to resist, their legs fell to the ground, and they were speechless in pain. Seeing this, the Imperial Guardsmen holding knives behind them were all on tenterhooks.

Chang Su's face was expressionless: "Master has never spoken, so I don't tolerate you talking too much."

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyelids and said in a light voice, disapprovingly: "You were assigned to me by the superiors. Who gave you the courage to climb on my head?"

Chang Su took a few steps closer to the man on the ground, clutching his belly and groaning.

How many of the imperial guards are really capable? They can be kicked away, so they are really weak.

He raised his hand: "Throw it out, don't disturb the master's eyes."

Gu Huaizhi didn't say anything to stop him. The guardsmen in special military uniforms behind him looked at each other, but there was no one who could stand up and said, "I obey."

After the whole shop became quite quiet, Gu Huaizhi looked at the middle-aged man who had been bleeding from his forehead with pity.

"At the feet of the Emperor, the Emperor's orders cannot be violated."

He smiled slightly: "Are you going to hand it over yourself, or should I order someone to search it? The people behind me are rough people. It would be a pity if I didn't control my strength well and Ling Qianjin lost an arm and a leg."

The shopkeeper froze. He raised his red eyes filled with hatred and stared at Gu Huaizhi.

But it couldn't be clearer that this matter cannot be avoided.

He couldn't afford to offend Gu Huaizhi, and he couldn't offend the man in the palace.

The rebellious will perish and the obedient will prosper.

It's a pity that he didn't have time to escape Lin'an with his family.

He swayed, lost his mind, and his voice was terribly hoarse. He just clenched his fists tightly and ordered the waiter next to him whose legs were shaking with fear: "Go and bring the girl."

Gu Huaizhi's expression was indifferent, as if he was satisfied with his knowledge. He stopped turning the jade ring finger and elegantly and calmly took out a bag of banknotes from his cuff. The amount was large, enough to cover the other person's lifetime expenses. He threw it away casually.

counter.

"The emperor will reward you for your meritorious service by ordering a thousand gold coins to rescue him."

Soon, Chang Su left the shop with the crying baby in his arms. The shopkeeper chased him out. His eyes were bloodshot. He held the shop door tightly, but he could only watch the group of people walk away.

"My condolences." The passers-by around them looked intolerable and stepped forward to persuade him.

"Oh, it's really miserable."

"Today I don't know what will happen tomorrow. When this shopkeeper got a daughter, he even laid out a running water mat for three days."

At this moment, someone stumbled over. The person's long hair was disheveled and he was wearing a mop on his head. She grabbed the shopkeeper and said, "Where's my daughter!"

"Wang Ren, this is the only daughter I have! Just this one!"

As she said that, she went to chase him.

Wang Ren smiled bleakly, with tears streaming down his face. He stopped his wife from bumping around, and just said in a low and numb voice: "If you want me to die, I have to die."

The wife hid her face and just cried: "You are a coward! How could you let her take Wanwan away? How old is she? She will die. She is going to die. Bah! What kind of king? He is not the emperor, he is a beast!

"

Wang Ren covered her mouth.

"do not talk."
