God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

A splendid mansion.

In the whole house, people who entered and exited were all dressed in mourning.

The atmosphere in the whole house was sad.

This place is the house of Lan Mingyu, a well-known spice merchant in Chang'an City.

backyard.

A middle-aged man in his fifties, with a sad face, stood on the steps with his hands behind his back.He was thin and his eyes were red and swollen.

It was Lan Mingyu.

Lan Mingyu turned his head, looked at the butler, and asked, "So, it's not just rumors from the people that it was Gao Yuanzhi who ordered Lian'er to be killed?"

The housekeeper said: "Someone saw it clearly that day. Although the supervisor and beheader was County Captain Du He, what Du He was holding was Gao Yuanzhi's official document. In other words, the person who killed the young master was actually Gao Yuanzhi."

Kakaka.

When Lan Mingyu heard this, he clenched his fists.

After a long while, he said coldly: "It's unreasonable...Gao Yuanzhi, thanks to me these years, I have treated him as a good friend, and sent him a lot of money and things every now and then. Unexpectedly, in order to get promoted, he would actually use my son as a knife. It's really unreasonable...Gao Yuanzhi, since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being different, you go down immediately and prepare...We have used all the relationships we have built in Chang'an City for so many years, this time, I want Gao Yuanzhi to die."

"Master, but Gao Yuanzhi is the distant nephew of Minister of the Ministry of Officials." The butler said in surprise.

"What about my nephew? Humph, Gao Yuanzhi is dead, we will immediately sell our property and leave Chang'an. What can Gao Shilian do to me? Besides, Gao Yuanzhi's dirty things over the years are all in our hands, so what about Gao Shilian Maybe come forward to protect Gao Yuanzhi." Lan Mingyu analyzed.

"Yes, sir, I'll do it now."

The butler hurriedly left.

……

The next day.

Royal Palace.

Tai Chi Temple.

Morning up.

Go up at first.

Then an official stood up immediately and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a report. I want to impeach Wannian County Magistrate Gao Yuanzhi. Gao Yuanzhi served as Wannian County Magistrate for twelve years. Accepting bribes, filling one's pockets, exploiting the common people, it's simply shocking, I have collected [-] crimes against Gao Yuanzhi, the first...the second..."

The official was well-prepared, even collected the crimes clearly, and stated them one by one in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Every crime of Gao Yuanzhi is shocking.

Let's just say that this guy has been an official for twelve years, and he has taken more than 40 concubines, which is surprising.Let's not talk about how many unjust, false and wrong cases this guy has committed and harmed the people.

As soon as the official finished speaking, another official stood up: "Your Majesty, I also have this report, and I also want to talk about He Gao Yuanzhi..."

"I want to impeach Gao Yuanzhi..."

"And the minister..."

All of a sudden, more than a dozen officials stood up and laid out Gao Yuanzhi's crimes one after another.

Li Er was very angry when he heard what Gao Yuanzhi did.

He slapped the table in front of him and said angrily: "It's really unreasonable, there are such heinous people in the mighty Chang'an City... I seem to remember that this Gao Yuanzhi is a relative of Gao Aiqing, right?"

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, Gao Yuanzhi is Gao Shangshu's distant nephew, and it was Gao Shangshu who recommended Gao Yuanzhi to serve as Wannian county magistrate."

Li Er frowned and asked, "Where is Gao Aiqing?"

He patrolled left and right, but did not see Gao Shilian's figure.

Zhao Yang said: "Your Majesty, early this morning, someone from Duke Xu's residence came to report that Mr. Gao is ill."

Li Er immediately understood.

He was a little skeptical just now, but Gao Shilian didn't show up, so it's probably true.

Li Er said in a deep voice: "The matter of Gao Yuanzhi will be investigated by the Ministry of Punishment. I will know the result within three days."

Li Daozong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up immediately, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the Ministry of Punishment will definitely investigate the matter tomorrow and give an explanation to His Majesty and the people of Chang'an City."

……

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Minister of the Criminal Ministry returned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and immediately dispatched people to investigate Gao Yuanzhi's actions over the past few years.

Ordinarily, it may not be possible to investigate a county magistrate in just two days, but Gao Yuanzhi is different. Now, many people in the court have begun to impeach him. These people have a lot of evidence of Gao Yuanzhi's crimes. It takes no effort to investigate everything.

Chapter 1170 The Real Purpose

Wannian County Government.

Du He sat on the rotating wooden chair with a relaxed and casual expression.

He looked at Gao Yuanzhi opposite him with a smile, and said, "Magistrate Gao, you don't look very happy. The first of the two things you entrusted to me is almost done. Look, kill me!" It is said that in the past few days, in my Wannian County, no one dares to bully the people in the street, the law and order are very good, and I have brought you a good reputation, you should How can you thank me?"

Gao Yuanzhi's face was ashen, he stared at Du He, and shouted: "Du He, you hurt me."

"Hey, magistrate Gao, you can't say that. When did I hurt you... You are my immediate boss. I did all this for you... Look, the people in Chang'an City are full of people now. , everyone is grateful to you, and they say that you are a good official in the world. Some people go to the county government to deliver rice and meat every day, all to commemorate you for killing Mr. Lan and eliminating harm for the people. Why do you look happy at all? ?” Du He asked strangely.

Gao Yuanzhi fought with his lips and asked, "Du He, I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges in the present, why do you want to punish me to death?"

Du He asked, "Want to know the answer?"

Gao Yuanzhi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Du He stood up, patted Gao Yuanzhi on the shoulder, and said, "If you want to blame, you can only blame you for overestimating your capabilities and wanting to deal with me to please your uncle. That's right, I was indeed deprived of the title of Duke Hu , became a commoner son-in-law, and even got a small rank of county lieutenant, but do you think you can really deal with me?"

Gao Yuanzhi was taken aback.

In an instant, he understood something.

Pointing at Du He, he said in surprise: "It turns out that you have always been polite to me since you came to the Wannian County Government. You pretended to be polite to me. You are not afraid of me at all?"

"Afraid of you? It's a joke... I have never seen such a storm. I led people to kill the Tubo prince, I killed the Dongying prince, and I led people to put down the Lu family's rebellion. With your high ambition, you can Make me afraid? Don't you think this is the funniest joke in the world?"

Gao Yuanzhi was dumbfounded.

Originally, he thought that he was the county magistrate, and with Gao Shilian as his backer, Du He would definitely be afraid of him.
