Ci Jinzhi Chapter 206

  Gu Changbo was pushed outside the Meridian Gate with eighty imperial staff!

  Generally speaking, a court staff of thirty to fifty is quite a lot, and a court staff of eighty is just for killing people.

  When Concubine Shu heard the wind, she ran to see Emperor Xingyuan.

  At this time, Emperor Xingyuan had returned to Qianqing Palace.

   "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, please see me—"

  Concubine Shu pushed away the maid and rushed in, her hair was messed up while running, and she knelt down in front of Emperor Xingyuan in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, please keep someone under your staff!"

  She didn't ask her brother what mistake he made, the time was urgent, and she didn't give her time to figure it out. All she had to do was to save her brother's life first. Only when people are alive can they talk about other things.

  Emperor Xingyuan's face was cold: "Send Concubine Shu back to Hanfu Palace."

  Two servants came over to help Concubine Shu.

"I won't go!" Concubine Shu pushed away to pull her palace man, and walked a few steps forward on her knees, "Your Majesty, Uncle Guchang accompanied you to fight in the north and south, and he was loyal. I beg you to remember the old love." , spare his life..."

  Sun Yan, who was in charge of the prison sentence, returned and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, Uncle Gu Chang couldn't bear the imperial rod, so he has already gone..."

  If Concubine Shu was struck by lightning, she seemed to be unable to accept this fact, and it took a while to react, and she let out a heart-piercing cry.

  Emperor Xingyuan ordered the palace servants with a cold face: "Send Concubine Shu back to the bedroom."

   "Your Majesty, why on earth..." Concubine Shu cried miserably, met Emperor Xing Yuan's dark eyes, and shivered.

   After being so dazed, he was dragged out of the Qianqing Palace by the palace guards.

  After the room became quiet, Emperor Xing Yuan closed his eyes, feeling indescribable.

   Saddened by the death of the empress, but also happy to kill the man who killed his wife, and saddened that the monarch and ministers have come to this point.

  Before the news of Uncle Guchang's death spread, Emperor Xingyuan sent He Qingxiao into the palace to give an explanation.

   "Bo Gu Chang said that it was a Jinlin guard named Zhou Tong who revealed the queen's whereabouts to him. Do you know this person?"

   "Zhou Tong was originally stationed in Wanyang, and he entered Beijing early last year..." He Qingxiao talked about Zhou Tong's origin.

  Emperor Xingyuan's face sank like water: "I didn't expect that Jinlin Guard would be so unreliable. Qingxiao, you must clean up the interior, and there should be no more people like Zhou Tong."

  In fact, Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of Jinlinwei's internal military and legal discipline. But this week Tong was transferred to the capital before He Qingxiao took charge of Beizhen Fusi. It can be seen that Jinlinwei had internal problems. Compared with Nanzhen Fushi, Emperor Xingyuan trusted He Qingxiao more.

   "As for this week's news—"

   "Report to Your Majesty, Zhou Tong is dead."

  Emperor Xing Yuan froze fiercely, waiting for He Qingxiao to continue.

   "Last August, Zhou Tong died suddenly in his sleep. His wife, Bai Shi, was overwhelmed with grief and died of illness in the same month."

  Emperor Xingyuan's eyes flickered slightly: "Qingxiao knows a lot about Zhou Tong."

  He Qingxiao said calmly: "Zhou Tong was on duty in Beizhen Fusi, and I went to offer my condolences. In addition, he passed away suddenly in his prime, so I deliberately got to know him and was deeply impressed."

  Emperor Xingyuan nodded when he heard the words: "So, Zhou Tong and his wife are no longer alive, so do they have children?"

   "There is a daughter left, she is sixteen years old, and she lives in the home of Elder Sister Zhou Tong..."

  Hearing He Qingxiao talk about the situation in Elder Sister Zhou Tong's home, Emperor Xing Yuan suppressed his murderous intentions.

  Xinxin died because of Zhou Tong's informant, he will not let Zhou's family go. Since the Zhou family has only one daughter left, and the status quo is maintained, everything will wait until the child is found.

  Emperor Xingyuan knew very well that not everyone wanted his son with the queen to be found.

   "Those people in Guchangbo's mansion in the south are secretly arrested, and they must not leak the news. On the other side of the valley, send people to guard first..."

   After saying this, Emperor Xing Yuan was silent for a while, and asked He Qingxiao: "Qingxiao, do you think that child is still in Wanyang?"

   "I don't know." He Qingxiao said.

   "I think he will come to the capital." Emperor Xing Yuan expressed his guess, keeping his gaze on He Qingxiao's face.

  He Qingxiao's eyes were somewhat surprised.

   "Perhaps—" Emperor Xingyuan pondered for a long time, and fixedly looked at the young man in front of him, "Could he be Mr. Songling!"

  He Qingxiao's expression was startled, and he lowered his eyes slightly.

Emperor Xingyuan obviously didn't care about He Qingxiao's answer, and he analyzed himself: "Miss Kou said that Mr. Songling should be a young man, which matches the child's age. Mr. Songling knows a lot about the queen. And being so close to the empress, who else could it be if not that child?"

  He Qingxiao lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, not talking too much.

   "Qingxiao, leave other matters to someone reliable. You stay in the capital and try your best to find Mr. Song Ling, even if you dig three feet, let me find him."

   "The humble minister leads the decree."

   "Wait." Emperor Xing Yuan called to He Qingxiao who was about to leave, "Go and see Miss Kou again and see if there are any new clues."

"yes."

   During the secret meeting between the monarch and his ministers, Gu Changbo's body was sent back to Guchangbo's mansion.

   Mrs. Uncle Guchang received a report from a servant that someone had come to the palace and asked her to pick up her uncle. She still felt strange, but she realized something was wrong when she saw the serious-looking servant and Jin Linwei.

   "Uncle, he—" Could it be that Ze'er was punished again?

The servant took a look at Mrs. Gu Changbo, and explained the reason why Gu Changbo was imprisoned by the court stick: "When Gu Changbo was drinking with Jinshang, he lost his manners and called Jinshang's name in the wine, and got the court stick... Gu Changbo couldn't bear the stick. Hit, already gone..."

   "Go—" Mrs. Gu Changbo looked around with a pale face, and saw a shelf behind the servant, which was covered with a dark quilt.

   "Uncle, uncle!" She rushed over, lifted the corner of the quilt and saw Uncle Gu Chang's twisted and painful face, and passed out with a howl.

  Guchangbo Mansion was thrown into chaos by the sudden bad news.

  Dai Ze was found by his servants while listening to books in a teahouse.

   "Senior, something happened at home, go back quickly!"

   "What's the matter? I haven't finished reading the book yet." Daize didn't want to leave.

  He ran out to listen to the book because his father was summoned into the palace again today. It was because of him that he was called into the palace a few times before, so he probably won't be able to escape this time.

   Dai Ze thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what trouble he had caused recently, but it was better to avoid it.

  The servant wiped away his tears: "My son, don't waste time, the uncle has gone..."

   "What did you say?" Daize grabbed the servant, raised his hand and slapped him across the face, "Whether the **** can talk, whether he can go or not—"

   "My son, the uncle is gone, I can't bear it in the palace and the imperial staff is gone!" the servant cried.

  Daize froze for a moment, then ran away.

  In the teahouse behind him, the voice of the storyteller came faintly: "The Monkey King—"

   "Father!" Daize rolled from his horse and rushed into the house.

   What came into view was the crying mother, and the motionless father who had changed into a shroud.

   "Father, father, wake up—" Dai Ze burst into tears.

  Gu Changbo received the court rod outside the Meridian Gate, but he couldn't hide it from the officials on duty, and it soon spread to the yamen of various ministries.

  In comparison, King Qing knew about it later, it was a letter sent by Guchangbo's mansion.

  He hurried to Guchangbo's mansion, grabbed Dai Ze and asked, "Cousin, what is going on?"
