The remaining members of the Yu family?! The expressions of the two Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding the door changed slightly, and their expressions turned solemn.
After the downfall of the Yu family, their entire household was raided. The masterminds behind the plot, such as Yu Si and Shangqing, were sentenced to be executed without reprieve. All members of the Yu family in the capital city were apprehended, and the Emperor even ordered the imperial guards to search for other Yu clan members in Yuzhou. It can be foreseen that the entire Yu clan will likely be exiled to the borderlands.
If there were still remnants of the Yu family wandering outside, it would be due to the Embroidered Uniform Guards’ negligence.
The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guard was about to go in and report when he saw a tall figure walk out from the other side of the door. However, his eyes were half-closed, and he had a powerful aura.
“What remaining member of the Yu family?” The person said it coldly. His words were concise, but every word seemed to carry the power of thunder.
The two Embroidered Uniform Guards guarding the door hurriedly bowed to the person and said, “Commander He.”
Thump, thump! Gu Xiao’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster as he looked at He Lie, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, in front of him.
He swallowed and tried his best to stabilize his emotions. He cupped his fists and bowed. “Greetings, Commander He.”
Another Embroidered Uniform Guard walked out from behind He Lie and whispered into his ear.
He Lie raised his thick eyebrows. When he looked at Gu Xiao again, his eyes darkened, as if he had only really seen Gu Xiao at this moment.
“Gu Xiao.” He Lie said Gu Xiao’s name and asked directly, “You said that Gu Yuan is hiding a remnant of the Yu family? Do you know what kind of crime it is to falsely accuse an official of the imperial court?”
Gu Xiao’s heart raced uncontrollably again. He told himself that the Embroidered Uniform Guards were the Emperor’s spies and were well-informed. It wasn’t rare for them to know that he was Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao said seriously, “Commander He, everything I said is true. As far as I know, Yu Si still has a mistress escaping outside.”
As he spoke, his burning gaze was fixed on He Lie. His heart was in his throat, and he almost forgot to breathe.
The coachman beside him was also in an uncomfortable situation. He was in a panic and felt that all the pedestrians on the street were looking at them. Their gazes seemed to be thorny.
“Oh?” He Lie said calmly and looked at Gu Xiao without batting an eyelid. Even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows didn’t move, and he didn’t show his emotions.
Indeed, Yu Si had a favored mistress in the capital and was pregnant. However, the Embroidered Uniform Guards had almost dug three feet into the capital and still couldn’t find her.
Gu Xiao thought that He Lie didn’t believe him and quickly said, “I also know that Yu Si’s mistress gave birth to a son.”
“Commander He, the mother and son are hiding in the originally planned Marquis Mansion on Yuan’an Street. Please hurry up and search so that others won’t take the opportunity to escape.”
He Lie narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Xiao at the bottom of the stairs. He held the saber by his waist tightly with one hand and didn’t immediately express his stance.
He was already taller and more powerful than Gu Xiao. At this moment, he stood on the stone steps as if a towering mountain was standing in front of him. Just his existence gave Gu Xiao an invisible pressure.
Cold sweat broke out on Gu Xiao’s forehead.
If the Embroidered Uniform Guards were afraid of the Eldest Prince and were unwilling to act rashly, they could completely pretend that this had never happened.
Gu Xiao took a deep breath and raised his voice, repeating the excuse he had prepared long ago. “Emperor Taizu said that anyone who reports with their real name will definitely be caught. If they are caught, they will be investigated. If they are investigated, they will definitely be punished.”
His loud voice resounded almost halfway down the street, and most of the passersby heard it.
He came to the Embroidered Uniform Guards today to report with his real name. If the Embroidered Uniform Guards didn’t accept it, it would go against Emperor Taizu’s original intention of establishing the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
“Or do the Embroidered Uniform Guards not dare to investigate?!”
Gu Xiao said word by word. His last sentence was equivalent to pushing He Lie forward. He was just short of saying that the other party, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, was afraid of Gu Yuan or playing favorites.
He Lie looked down at Gu Xiao and narrowed his sharp eyes. A dangerous aura was released invisibly.
The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guard at the side was good at reading someone’s body language. They took half a step forward and issued a warning on behalf of their commander. Every word was like a knife. “Gu Xiao, Emperor Taizu stated that if you falsely accuse someone, you will be flogged 50 times and be conscripted into the army for three years!”
Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could come to the North Town Bureau to shout without evidence!
Gu Xiao felt a little guilty, but he didn’t avoid his gaze. He raised his head and said, “I’m not falsely accusing anyone.”
“That person is in the Gu Mansion now. Commander He just has to bring people to the Gu Mansion to search!”
He Lie stared at Gu Xiao for a long time. His gaze was so cold that Gu Xiao’s neck broke out in cold sweat..
