Chapter 266 Testifying against Prefect Luo

One of the guards said indifferently: "What important thing do you have? Your Highness and the Crown Prince spent half the night interrogating the assassins for you last night. They should be resting now. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it later."

Tao Guang was worried about what might happen if he delayed further, so he thought it would be better to tell him earlier, so he hurriedly put on a smile and said: "No, it's really an important matter, and it's related to Prefect Luo. Please go and report it." , it’s okay if His Highness and the Crown Prince don’t want to see us after hearing this, you can just help bring the message to us, okay?”

Another guard advised in a low voice: "Look at how anxious they are, there may be something urgent, and it has something to do with Prefect Luo. I think it's better to go and report it, so as not to delay His Highness's affairs."

The guard heard the same thing before, and reluctantly responded: "Okay, you go back and wait for a while, I will report it."

Seeing that he agreed, Tao Guang was very happy and immediately said: "Okay, okay, thank you very much."

As soon as the door of the woodshed was closed, the two guards at the door looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that their plan was successful.

From the conversation between the two of them in the morning to the performance of one of them being impatient and the other trying to persuade them, everything was planned.

Acting requires a complete performance, so that the two of them can follow His Highness's plan.

"Go and tell Yun Qi quickly, I'll guard you here."

After receiving the news, Yun Qi reported the matter to Jamel Xiao and Gu Jing'an.

"Your Highness, our plan is going very smoothly. Just now Chen Feng came to report that Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie want to see you two, saying that they have something important to report, about Prefect Luo."

Both of them smiled when they heard this, and it seemed that this unexpected surprise had already arrived at the door.

"Let Chen Feng bring them here. Let's listen to what they have to say."

In just a moment, Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie arrived in front of Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan.

"Your Majesty, please see His Highness the Fifth Prince and Crown Prince Gu."

Jamel Xiao waved his hand, "No courtesy, I heard that you have something important to report, please tell me."

"Your Highness, I want to testify against someone today. He knew everything about what we did, and he also helped to cover up the wrong things I did."

Jamel Xiao chuckled when he heard this, and said with great interest: "Oh? Really? Who is so bold and has such great power?"

Tao Guang said his name almost without hesitation, "Qinan Prefect Luo Tao."

Jamel Xiao pretended to be surprised and said: "Really? If it is Governor Luo, he does have this ability. Mr. Zheng, do you know what Mr. Tao said?"

Zheng Haojie nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, Your Highness, I know this and can testify."

Jamel Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "Very good, now that we have witnesses, do you two adults have other evidence to prove what you just said? Mr. Luo is an official of the court after all, and the words of you two alone are not enough to cure the disease." His sin, you two should think about it carefully."

The two thought for a moment, and Tao Guang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Highness, I have evidence. Since I took the position of Qinnan Water Conservancy Envoy, I have been relying on the care of Prefect Luo. On the one hand, I am a relative of Prefect Luo, and on the other hand, I always respect Luo. Prefect. Regardless of whether it is money or treasures, anything of value will be sent to him. There is a box under the bed in the lower official's bedroom. There is an account book in it, which records in detail all the filial piety paid to Prefect Luo over the years. His Highness will send someone to search it. .”

When Tao Guang started talking, Zheng Haojie didn't think anything of it. When he mentioned the account books, Zheng Haojie's heart sank.

Zheng Haojie naturally knew Tao Guang's account book. It did record every filial piety to Luo Tao, but it also included the public funds they embezzled this time.

If the Fifth Prince and Prince Gu find out about this, their case of embezzling public funds will be confirmed.

"grown ups."

But Zheng Haojie couldn't speak directly in front of the two of them. He could only call out to Tao Guang, grab his arm, and wink at him desperately.

Tao Guang did not correlate the two things at all, and he did not understand Zheng Haojie's prompt at all.

Tao Guang didn't know why, so he threw away Zheng Haojie's hand, "Haojie, why are you holding me?"

Zheng Haojie looked helpless. He was really lucky to have a pig teammate like Tao Guang.

Zheng Haojie's performance was so obvious that Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan naturally noticed the clues.

Gu Jingan smiled and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Zheng? Why are you blinking all the time? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Zheng Haojie was very embarrassed when he heard this and quickly shook his head, "No, I'm fine. Thank you, Prince Gu, for your concern."

Jamel Xiao smiled when he heard this, "It's okay, Yun Qi, take someone to search Master Tao's bedroom and bring back the evidence."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yun Qi took the order and left. Zheng Haojie gave up his struggle when he saw that there was no way he could save himself.

"Two adults, I am very curious about something. Master Tao just said that you all rely on Prefect Luo to take care of you, so why do you want to identify him this time?"

Both of them were stunned when they heard this. Tao Guang hesitated for a long time and said nothing.

He couldn't say that he listened to the chat of the guards at the door this morning and confirmed that the person who came to assassinate them last night was sent by Prefect Luo, so he wanted to confess him, right?

At the critical moment, Zheng Haojie had to think quickly, "Your Highness, your Majesty and I almost died last night. This was the closest we were to death. At that moment, I wanted to understand one thing. This is what happens in this life." It's short, so you should do more good deeds, otherwise you will regret it before you die. At that time, the official was thinking that if we all died, no one would know about Prefect Luo's crime, wouldn't there be a bad guy at large? "

After hearing Zheng Haojie's words, Tao Guang had to sigh, he was still smart.

Tao Guang hurriedly took over and said, "Yes, Xiaguan felt the same way at the time. So when Haojie told Xiaguan, we had the same idea and immediately decided to bring him to justice and not let him There’s an opportunity to continue doing bad things.”

The two thought that their cooperation was perfect, but they didn't know that Jamel Xiao and Gu Jing'an were listening to them as if they were watching a show.

Gu Jing'an managed not to laugh out loud, "I see, people can think of so many things at the moment they are about to die? You suddenly realized your conscience before you died. It seems that this assassination has achieved something. Well."

Zheng Haojie always felt that Gu Jingan was mocking them, but this was the best reason he could think of now, and he couldn't care less.

At this moment, Yun Qi came back with a box.

"Your Highness, I have found the box that Lord Tao mentioned. However, the box is locked and needs a key to open it."
