The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

"However, Master Shen, I am really curious, why did Gao Xun become your enemy? He has not been in Chang'an for long, when did you have any enmity?" Ling Jingyun asked.

There should be very few people who know about Gao Xun's love for Zhao Zhang. After all, it happened many years ago. If Pan Chen didn't accidentally discover it, maybe he wouldn't be able to know the reason why the other party hates him.

He smiled and laughed at himself: "I can't help it, maybe my boss is too good-looking, and his ability is too strong, he is jealous of me!"

Ling Jingyun's expression twitched, he took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "Let's just assume that's the case. Mr. Shen has to be careful these days. The Gao family is not an ordinary small family. He wants to plot against you. There are ways."

"Thank you for the reminder..." The carriage stopped, and Shen Jia lifted the curtain to look out, and said, "We're here, Master Ling can get out of the carriage."

Ling Jingyun jumped out of the car and walked straight towards Shengjia. Following the imperial guards escorted the emperor into the palace, when he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Zhangping retreated to the left and right, and Ling Jingyun told him the news he had found, but compared to Shen Jia Ling Jingyun's attitude is much more serious now.

Zhao Zhang was silent for a moment after hearing this, but did not immediately make a decision, but called Du Fucheng in, and asked him, "Have all the people from Taimiao been arrested?"

"Yes, the old slave has already been interrogated by the Punishment Department before, three people committed suicide, and there are two hard bones." Du Fu deliberately felt sorry for him, feeling that he had not done things well, and caught a glimpse of Ling Jingyun's irrelevant attitude Standing at the side, bent down and said: "Your Majesty, the methods of the Punishment Department are still a bit weak, why not hand it over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation."

Ling Jingyun rolled his eyes back at him, but he didn't refuse either.

Zhao Zhang waved his hand, "No need, bring someone here, I will ask him personally."

Du Fucheng hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the identities of those two are. What if I offend Long Ti?"

Zhao Zhang was noncommittal about this, "They are all imprisoned in the Punishment Division, how can those two offend me? The Punishment Division's methods are indeed too gentle."

Du Fucheng hurriedly explained: "It's not that...the old slave will be brought here."

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the sound of footsteps came from outside the imperial study room. There were quite a few people coming. The father-in-law of the Punishment Division personally escorted the prisoner to return to his order, accompanied by a hundred imperial guards , A three-tier guard post was set up outside the imperial study.

Zhao Zhang didn't pay attention to these arrangements. He stared at the two young men dressed as servants kneeling on the ground for a while, and asked, "Are they real eunuchs?"

"Yes, we have verified their authenticity. These two entered the palace eight years ago and were sent to the Taimiao as handymen four years ago. I didn't expect that they were spies from the Gao family." Du Fucheng said according to the information he found. out.

"Eight years ago...was early enough. At that time, the imperial sister had not yet married into the Gao family, and it was normal for the palace to have masters cultivated by the Gao family. But why were they dispatched to the Taimiao four years ago?"

"Your Majesty, forgot? That year when you first boarded the Great Treasure, the Taimiao had... a shortage of manpower, so a group of people were transferred from the palace. I think these people came here by mistake. I didn't expect the Gao family It is actually useful for their day."

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence. No wonder Gao Xun dared to make such an arrangement." Zhao Zhang couldn't help admiring the direct descendants carefully cultivated by this aristocratic family.

"To be able to remain loyal to the Lord for many years in the palace, it can be seen that they are all cultivated according to the dead." Zhao Zhang walked up to the two men, lowered his head and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Both of them lowered their heads and said nothing, it can be seen that they are going to fight to the end.

Zhao Zhang sighed, "It's a pity." He waved his hand, and told Ling Jingyun: "Take them to Gaofu, meet Gao Xun first, and then you take these two people to Hexi, I want Gao's Let me explain!"

"What should I ask when I see Mr. Gao?"

"No need, just let him know before he dies." Zhao Zhang's words made everyone at the scene shudder. Ling Jingyun expected that Gao Xun would not end well, but after all, he is the son of the Gao family. Take him down, and make a decision after informing the Gao family?"

As far as he knew, the Gao family had only one descendant left, and he was an amazing and talented person since he was a child, and his family loved him. If Gao Xun was killed, the Gao family would definitely make trouble.

"No need, you go to the Gao family this time, and by the way, declare a decree for me. The Gao family does not have to have a son inherit the title."

"Where is the eldest princess?"

"Take the eldest princess to send Gao Xun off for the last time." Zhao Zhang just finished speaking, when there was noise outside, and Du Fucheng trotted out to see what happened.

Those who dare to break into the imperial study can be counted on the palm of one hand!

"I want to see the emperor, why are you stopping me?" The eldest princess aggressively pushed away the two guards who stopped her.

Song Bingyang stood in front of her in person, and said sternly: "Your Highness, the emperor told you that no one is allowed to enter. If you want to see the emperor, you can be notified after your humiliation, but it must not be done at this time."

"Where is the dog slave who dares to stop me, and go to pass it on now. If the emperor doesn't see me, you don't even ask. Don't you take me seriously?"

"I don't dare to be humble! But the emperor did explain..."

The eldest princess pulled out the accessories of the imperial guards, put them on Song Bingyang's neck, and asked ferociously, "Will you let me go?"

Du Fucheng came out and saw this scene, and hurried over to stop him, "Hey, Your Royal Highness, what are you doing? Why are you angry with Little General Song?" He hurriedly moved the sword away, and Song Bingyang Pushing aside, is it right for Princess Chao, "Your lord has a lot, don't be as knowledgeable as a rough man like him!"

The eldest princess repeated: "I want to see the emperor!"

"That's right, it's not a gift for the emperor to see you when you come, but it's really not a coincidence. The emperor went to the Taimiao and came back to blow the wind, and he felt a little uncomfortable. In addition, someone in the Taimiao actually planned to offend Tianwei. The emperor was furious. Go and investigate the person behind the scenes, coincidentally, you also recognize this person, why don't you take a trip with Jin Yiwei!"

"What... what do you mean? What is the person behind the scenes? What does it have to do with me?"

"You will know when you go." As he said, Du Fucheng arranged for people to "escort" the eldest princess to the Gaofu, Ling Jingyun also took the two criminals with her, and when she walked out of the palace gate, the eldest princess was terrified. The second time was to completely offend the emperor.

She didn't know what Gao Xun did, but everything Gao Xun did was because of her, and she must not just watch the emperor send Gao Xun down.

When they arrived at the Gao Mansion, Ling Jingyun didn't even knock on the door, and directly broke into the mansion with Jin Yiwei, the eldest princess was so angry that she yelled at Ling Jingyun!

The atmosphere in the Gao Mansion was a little strange, after Jin Yiwei broke in, no one came to stop him, and all the servants in the mansion knelt aside obediently, as if they had expected this.

Ling Jingyun arrested a servant and asked, "Where is your son?"

"Slave... I don't know, I'm just a rough servant who sprinkles water and sweeps the floor."

Ling Jingyun asked several people in succession, but none of them knew where Gao Xun was. He turned around and asked Jin Yiwei who was in charge of following him: "Did you see Gao Xun return to the mansion with your own eyes?"

"My lord, we watched Mr. Gao's carriage enter the mansion with our own eyes. When we came back from the Taimiao, Mr. Gao's carriage followed the team all the way."

"Did you stop during the period?"

The man thought for a while and replied: "Twice, Mr. Gao sent someone to go to the carriage of King Bei Chen, and once Mr. Gao got out of the carriage and came out of Gong. It didn't take long before and after."

"Not good!" Ling Jingyun realized that Gao Xun might not be in Chang'an anymore.

Sure enough, when they rushed into the main courtyard, all they caught was a substitute wearing Gao Xun's clothes, and Gao Xun himself had already run away.

"How dare he?" Jin Yiwei has been handling the case for a long time, but he has never seen such a noble boy who does not play cards according to common sense.

Ling Jingyun wiped out the fake, and snorted coldly: "I must know that the matter was exposed. If I don't run, I will definitely die. If I run, I still have a chance."

"But if he ran away, did he completely disregard the Gao family's life?"

"How do you know this?" Ling Jingyun was in a bad mood. After the eldest princess came in and saw the corpse on the ground, she threw herself on the corpse and cried in a heartbroken state. Then she even pulled out the hairpin and stabbed Ling Jingyun, "I want you life for a life!"

Naturally, Ling Jingyun would not be hurt by a woman, but he looked at the expression of the eldest princess, and found something terrible, no wonder, no wonder the emperor asked them to bring the eldest princess to meet Gao Xun for the last time, this is guesswork Is the eldest princess thinking about it?

Ling Jingyun laughed viciously, grabbed the eldest princess's hand and said, "Why does your highness want to pay for this mission?"

"You killed Gao Xun, but you actually killed him! Where did you have the guts? Don't think Jin Yiwei is lawless!"

"The eldest princess was joking. Jin Yiwei will only obey orders. The emperor wants to kill people. Can you organize them?"

"Impossible! How could the emperor kill Gao Xun? The Gao family is a hero. How can the Gao family kill them if they say they want to?" The eldest princess retorted angrily.

"Then you have to ask Gao Xun what he has done. Now the Gao family can't protect themselves...By the way, let's see what the people on the ground look like before you talk about it. Princess Royal, as you did just now, is a little rude." Ling Jingyun always It's because he is not afraid of offending people, and he knows who can offend and who can't. The eldest princess has no weight in front of the emperor, so there is no need to support her at this time.

When the eldest princess found out that the corpse on the ground was not Gao Xun, she wept with joy, even dull people could see what was on her mind.

"Gao Xun has fled. This envoy wants to go back and report to the emperor in person. The eldest princess should also invite me."

After entering the palace, Zhao Zhang heard that Gao Xun had escaped, and laughed angrily: "Very well, Gao Xun is really smart, the matter of the Taimiao has not been made public, I can't even convict him, he is really calculating! "

"I can mobilize the Jin Yiwei to look for him, presumably he hasn't escaped far."

Zhao Zhang rubbed the paperweight on the table, trying to substitute himself into Gao Xun. If he were Gao Xun, where would he be going and what would he want to do?

Shen Jia, who received the news and entered the palace, heard that Gao Xun had run away, and her first reaction was: "He must still be in the city."

"Why?" Ling Jingyun was puzzled, why didn't they hurry away and wait to be arrested after everyone ran away?

"Although I have little acquaintance with him, I can infer from these few things that Gao Xun is a conceited person with a shrewd mind. Chang'an is the safest place at the moment. Moreover, he hasn't seen me being killed. If you look like you've been convicted, you won't be willing to leave."

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Shen, someone else robbed Mr. Gao's wife, this hates deeply."

Shen Jiayun glanced at Zhao Zhang and smiled meaningfully, "Didn't you just rob his wife!"

Ling Jingyun was stunned for a moment, then his face became strange and unpredictable, then he lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I will immediately send people to search for Gao Xun's whereabouts in the city!"

"Here's an order to close the gates of the city immediately and notify the Jinwu Guard and Shuntian Mansion to search for the assassin in the whole city. The assassin kidnapped the son of the Gao family, so everyone should be careful not to hurt Mr. Gao." The corners of Zhao Zhang's mouth turned up, showing a sneer .

"As for the matter of going to Hexi, you'd better go there yourself, and leave this place to Lu Zhen. I promoted Lu Zhen to Jinyiwei Thousand Households, so he can enter and leave the palace."

Lu Zhen and Lu Baihu were not at the scene. Ling Jingyun took the order for him. At the same time, he began to be on guard against Lu Zhen in his heart, so that the emperor would remember it in his heart. Have to guard against!
