Fengluo Pingyang

Prison prison.

Gu Feng brought several subordinates from Dali Temple to come overnight, and then pushed the others away. He grabbed a follower who had been following him with his head bowed and pushed him forward, and raised his chin impatiently.

"I only give you time for a stick of incense, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Xu Ruxin staggered and fell forward, grabbed the wooden bars of the cell, and looked at the man in a mess locked inside.

Xu Zheng, Marquis of Guang'an, saw the clothes of Gu Feng and others, and recognized them as officials of Dali Temple.The initial panic passed, and now everything was a foregone conclusion, and he calmed down instead.

Xu Ruxin saw his gaze sweeping over him without stopping for a moment, his lips trembled, and he called out hoarsely, "Father."

Marquis Guang'an shook his body, and looked at Xu Ruxin in surprise.

"Ruxin? Are you Ruxin?" Marquis Guang'an rushed over and grabbed Xu Ruxin's hand, "How did you come in? You, why are you dressed like this?" Marquis Guang'an looked at the official uniform of Dali Temple on his body After thinking for a moment, his eyes widened suddenly, "Ruxin, do you have a way to rescue me? Do you have friendship with Dali Siqing?!"

Seeing his appearance, Xu Ruxin couldn't utter a single word that came out of his mouth. The pressure on his chest was heavy and heavy.

Gu Feng didn't look like it, and knocked Xu Ruxin impatiently with the hilt of his sword: "Xu Shizi, the time for this stick of incense is very precious, I don't have time for you to hurt the spring and the autumn here."

Xu Ruxin managed to stop coughing, and looked at Guang'anhou steadfastly. He was still looking at him expectantly, with fear and pleading on his face.

Xu Ruxin only felt that the soreness in his heart had spread to his whole body, and he was already paralyzed, but he couldn't feel anything anymore.

"Father, this is the emperor's decree to deal with it strictly. I can't save you." Xu Ruxin said.

The Marquis of Guang'an let go of Xu Ruxin's hand, slipped and fell to the ground, his whole body was dejected.

Xu Ruxin squatted down slowly, looking at this haggard and cowardly man.

"Father, the Marquis of Guang'an's Mansion has collapsed because of your actions." Xu Ruxin stretched his hand in, but after all he didn't know how to place it, and finally retracted, "I'm already wearing a crime. I'm here today , there is only one question I want to ask my father."

Marquis Guang'an looked up at him.

"Father, why did you treat me and mother like this?!" Xu Ruxin clenched his palms tightly, "When you were happy in Fengliu City, when you sent a letter asking me for supplies, what did you think of me? Have you ever thought that I will be extremely difficult because of this?! Have you ever thought about how I can raise the huge sum of money you want?! Have you ever thought that you have done such a rebellious thing, Both my mother and I will be implicated by you?!"

Gu Feng stood behind, folded his arms, and frowned at the father and son.

The Marquis of Guang'an trembled and fell on the ground, hesitating for a while, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"In my heart, my father has always been the invincible general." Xu Ruxin looked at him for a while, but couldn't wait for an answer after all.He lowered his eyelashes in disappointment, stood up slowly, and looked down at the man on the ground,

"So I obeyed your words and never asked a question, because I firmly believe that everything you do is the most correct. Just like that time when you withstood the pressure inside and outside the court, took all the responsibilities on your body, broke the ax Shen Zhoudi took one hundred thousand soldiers to the northwest to meet the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of Xirong, and finally triumphed. At that time, you were the most omnipotent hero in my mind. But now, that hero is dead. "

Xu Ruxin took two steps back slowly, looking at the mottled wall with a pale face.

"Maybe a few years ago, that person died."

"Ruxin, Xin'er, I, I'm sorry for you." Marquis Guang'an was already sobbing.

Gu Feng looked outside, he had already paid for the prison guards of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and now he had no time to cry for these two people. He didn't expect Xu Ruxin to come to see the Marquis of Guang'an because of this kind of thing. What a waste of his energy.

"Okay, you've said your words and expressed your feelings, it's time to go back and fulfill your promise, Xu Shizi, please." Gu Feng grabbed Xu Ruxin with one hand, and dragged him to the outside.

Seeing Xu Ruxin walking out, Guang'an Hou jumped up suddenly, grabbed the cell door and said loudly: "Xin'er, Xin'er, Daddy is sorry for you! Daddy is sorry for you!"

Xu Ruxin stumbled, his eyes were sore and swollen, but they were dry and unable to shed tears.

"Let's go!" Gu Feng was impatient to read this again, and pushed Xu Ruxin out of the prison.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment hurried over after receiving the news, and bumped into Gu Feng and his party at the prison door.

"This... Mr. Gu's late night visit to the Prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice seems a bit out of order..."

"Whispering." Gu Feng glared at him, and dragged Xu Ruxin out in big strides.The servant of the Ministry of Justice who was pushed aside really wanted to cry. The emperor knew that he was timid, so why did he send him to work with this devil? !

This winter, the capital is destined to be restless.

The Marquis of Guang'an raised his self-respect, and Xu Ruxin was greedy for ink. The evidence for these two crimes was conclusive.During the founding of the country, two of the twelve aristocratic families had been eradicated within a year, and the remaining ten aristocratic families were somewhat chaotic and bewildered without a leader.

Originally, this case ended here, the emperor had achieved his goal, and the court was still stable. He could have laid out his plans slowly, and thought about how to take the next move so that he could stand aloft and invincible place.

However, the ignorant Shaoqing of Dali Temple managed to pull out the emperor's uncle, King Jiajun. This was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a pot of hot oil, and the whole capital boiled over it.

"You bastard! You bastard!" The emperor swept the memorial in hand to the ground and still couldn't help it, he picked up the teacup and smashed it to pieces.The servant knelt on the ground tremblingly, only talking to appease the emperor.

"Get out! Bring Marquis Shenwu to me!" The emperor shouted angrily, "Tie Gu Feng to me too!"

The servant hurriedly went down to spread the message, but no one dared to tie Gu Feng, and only announced the two people the emperor wanted to see into the palace.

Ling Ji went to the imperial study room first, and was the first to face the wrath of the Ninety-Five Supreme.

"Look at what you have done!" The emperor threw all the memorials in front of Lingji.

Lingji opened it calmly, one part was to impeach Jiajun King, one part was to intercede for Jiajun King, and the other part was to expose the violation of laws and regulations by other royal family members, which was very exciting.

But it was a rascal for the emperor to get angry at him.

He only cooperated with Gu Feng in Cui Runuo's case, this time it was Gu Feng's disobedience to the holy will that caused such chaos, what's wrong with him?Recently, he didn't ask about political affairs at all, and just wandered around with Fang Yuesheng.

Ling Ji knew what the emperor meant.He hasn't completely disintegrated the noble family, so he doesn't want to touch those princes and princes at this moment.Not to mention that the forces of all parties are intricate and complicated, and it affects the whole body. Take a step back and say that they still have a relationship with the emperor. As long as they don't touch the emperor's bottom line, he certainly doesn't want to attack these people.

But now Gu Feng forced him to do something, which made the emperor very angry.The matter was started by Gu Feng, and how it will be fermented later is beyond anyone's control.Just now, in addition to the impeached King Jia, several other county kings have also been exposed for various crimes, including a prince.

The emperor called him over to teach him a lesson. Did he want him to take over this mess?

Ling Ji looked at the nose and the heart with his eyes, and put the emperor's teachings in his left ear and out his right ear, just as if the wind in his ears was all over his head.

When Gu Feng arrived in Shaoqing, the emperor was not so polite to him, instead of throwing a teacup on the spot with a trivial memorial.

Gu Feng let the tea bowl hit his body and then fell to the ground, but just knelt and remained motionless.

"Forgive me for being dull, I don't know why the emperor is so angry." Gu Feng said.

"How dare you say that!" the emperor said angrily, "If you hadn't pulled out King Jiajun, why would I be so passive?!"

"The prince of Jiajun corrupted Mo's official money, even bought and sold official positions, and intervened in the lawsuit. These are all facts with solid evidence. How can I be talking about it?"

Seeing that Gu Feng dared to speak so eloquently, the emperor wished that this inconvenient thing would be dragged out and beheaded immediately.

However, Gu Feng continued: "The emperor asked me to sit on the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple. I must do my duty faithfully so as to live up to the entrustment of the Holy Majesty. The duty of the minister is to investigate the case. People should be punished as they should be. It is not the duty of ministers to look forward and backward to balance the forces of all parties. If ministers were such people, the emperor would not arrange ministers in Dali Temple."

No matter how angry the emperor was, he had to admit that what Gu Feng said was right on his mind.If it weren't for Gu Feng's temperament of insisting on Qingshan and not letting go, of course he would not put him in Dali Temple and take care of him a lot.Dali Temple is not a pool of clear water, he just needs such a person to rectify Dali Temple.

But now he has caused him a lot of trouble without caring, which is really beyond reason and expected.

The emperor looked coldly at Ling Ji, who was watching the excitement, and said sadly: "Gu Qing is right, it is the duty of an official to take responsibility for each. Marquis Shenwu, what do you think about this?"

"I think Master Gu and the Emperor are right." Ling Ji said.

The emperor was furious: "Stop pretending to me! I ask you what are your plans for the current situation?!"

Can I leave it alone?Ling Ji cursed, but looking at the emperor's expression, he knew that he would not be able to escape this thankless job.

"I believe that this matter involves a lot of people, so we should proceed with caution and take a long-term view." Ling Ji bowed and said.

The emperor waved his hand like a donkey: "I know that Ling Aiqing is a man of propriety, so I will leave this matter to Ling Aiqing. These matters must be properly resolved before the end of the new year. I don't want to have a bad year! "
