"What!"

Jingyang City, Zhuque Avenue.

Gao Hongyun was heading to the government office while a young man dressed up suddenly walked up and said a few words against the curtain.

"It's true that the little one saw the bodies of five people in person. The prince's mansion spoke, saying that they failed to assassinate the concubine and were killed by the guards in the mansion."

Gao Hongyun's face turned pale and shouted to the sedan chairkeeper who was carrying the sedan chair: "Go back to Gao Mansion, no, go to the teaching office!"

After receiving the order, the sedan chair owner immediately changed directions and trotted all the way. After half a stick of incense, he arrived in front of the Jiaofangsi Gate.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Gao Hongyun quickly walked through the main entrance and went to the backyard.

At this time, Chaoyang was rising, and there were a group of singers in the Jiaofangsi. The dancer had just gotten up and was fetching water, washing and combing.

"Are there any distinguished guests coming to teach the Fangsi today? I'm sorry, Gao Youfu came so early."

The woman in red walked out of the corner, her face full of laziness.

"The Red Bird is still there?" Gao Hongyun grabbed the woman's wrist, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Gao Youfu, you've hurt me." The woman felt her wrists were as if they were wrapped in iron.

"I'm here!" A paper window on an empty room on the second floor opened, and a sound came out.

He hee looked at the open window, Gao Hongyun let go of the woman and stepped up the steps.

On the right side of the corridor on the second floor. In the first room, a middle-aged Confucian scholar was sitting on a red painted round stool and slowly drank tea, looking leisurely.

"The four singers around the little prince assassinated the concubine this morning. Do you know about this?" Gao Hongyun asked sternly, "Is it your order?"

"Will I be that stupid?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar picked up an empty cup and poured a cup of tea, pushed it across the table, and signaled Gao Hongyun to sit down.

"Then why did they do it?" Gao Hongyun was still vigilant.

He knew very well what kind of people Shadow Guard was.

"We underestimated the Princess Zhao Yuyan of the Great Rong Dynasty. They were caught when they were conveying the message. Anyway, they were all dead. According to the rules of the Shadow Guard, they would definitely die, so they naturally had to take the risk to achieve their goals. Unfortunately, they failed."

Gao Hongyun sat down, picked up the teacup and put it down, "They were dead, but I sent them to King Jing. Since Zhao Yuyan intervened, she would never give up."

After hesitating for a while, he said, "The situation is urgent, so it is better for us to start the matter in advance."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar shook his head, "No, we are not sure about the people in the border army yet, so we must not act rashly at this time."

"What if Zhao Yuyan wants to kill me?" Gao Hongyun sweated slightly on his forehead.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar showed disdainful eyes, "Gao Hongyun, you have lived a pampered life for years, and you have become afraid of death."

"Fear of death? Humph, I'm afraid that I will die, and everything I have worked hard to manage will be ruined." Gao Hongyun was stunned and retorted.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar smiled and did not mind, "You are indeed the best thing to die now. I have already thought of a countermeasure for you. You just need to find a scapegoat. At that time, you will at most be accused of bad employing people."

Gao Hongyun suddenly realized, and he was also so anxious that he was stunned.

When he got up, he looked at the woman in red downstairs through the window and sighed: "As the Lezheng of the Jiaofang Si, it is simply ulterior motive to choose these four women for this official."

"I will ask her to confess that she was a detailed work sent by Emperor Zhao Qi of Rong." There was no trace of pity in the middle-aged Confucian scholar's eyes.

"Miscellaneous, it's really a trick to kill two birds with one stone." Gao Hongyun laughed.

"Now, it's time to see King Jing. I'll find some way to coax that stupid guy. Before, he had bumped into Zhao Yuyan because of you."

Gao Hongyun nodded, "It seems that he can only lose money and eliminate disasters."

He stopped staying, so he hurried downstairs and returned to the government office.

Not long after, a team of yamen runners, like wolves and tigers, rushed into the Jiaofangsi and took the woman in red away.

On this side, Gao Hongyun ordered his servants to go back to the Gao Mansion, carry several large boxes back to the government office, and take the silver borrowed by the officials to the royal mansion together.

At the gate of the royal palace, he met Xue Shi who was rushing toward him.

Xue Shi has a straight temper. He has never liked Gao Hongyun and is not good at hiding his joys and angers.

They barely met each other, and took a donkey face and followed the door into the palace.

On the wide ground in front of the bedroom, the two met Liu Jun who was doing carpenter work.

"Prince, the old minister will die!"

Before Liu Jun could look up, Gao Hongyun knelt on the ground with a pounce, crying loudly.

"You did a good thing!" Liu Jun walked up, kicked Gao Hongyun over the ground, and kicked several times, "Killing Cai, I favor you so much, how dare you ambush the assassin beside me, Xue Shi, chopped this old thief for me and threw it out to feed the dog."

When Xue Shi heard this, he was happy and pulled out his waist and was about to cut it out.

Gao Hongyun was so scared that she was no longer looking at her face and kept shouting, "Prince, you are wronged. The servant has taken down Le Zheng from the Jiafangsi. It was the four women she selected for the servant. It was not the servant's intention..."

"slow!"

Liu Jun stopped Xue Shi. He didn't really want to kill Gao Hongyun, but his straightness really wanted to kill people.

After holding back his waist knife, Xue Shi turned into a donkey face again.

"Prince, the lower lord has always been loyal to the prince. The prince knows that the lower lord is also used by a traitor. The woman has admitted that she is a detailed work sent by the current emperor."

Gao Hongyun was delighted and thought to himself whether Liu Jun was Liu Jun or was it as easy to deceive as before.

"Is this really the case?" Liu Jun narrowed his eyes. Gao Hongyun's words surprised him a little. If it were the former little prince, he would probably believe it.

"It's true, the woman admitted it personally. If the prince doesn't believe it, he can interrogate it himself." Gao Hongyun swore.

Getting up from the ground, he waved to the servant behind him.

Thirty large boxes were placed on the ground. The boxes were opened and silver flashed, and the boxes were filled with silver.

"Prince, these ten boxes are 100,000 taels of silver that the officials ordered to lend to all officials. The remaining twenty boxes are accumulated by the officials over the years." Gao Hongyun looked painful.

"Didn't you tell me that there is no money?" Liu Jun snorted coldly.

Gao Hongyun hurriedly explained, "There was no such a lot of money at that time, but after returning, the officials thought that the prince's affairs were the affairs of the prince. The prince was short of money now, so how could the prince be left alone? So in the past two days, he sold his land and shops, and used some antiques of calligraphy and paintings. He specially collected 200,000 taels of silver to honor the prince and also atone for the prince's sins."

"Hahaha... Gao Youfu is determined and is solving my urgent needs. Since Gao Youfu was harmed by a traitor, I will plead for you in front of the concubine." Liu Jun grabbed the silver in the box and played with it, feeling very happy. He has been worried about the silver, and 300,000 taels are enough for him to take a while.

"Thank you for your trust, the old minister will be careful in the future and will never make any mistakes." Gao Hongyun was determined and swore.

"Well, you go back first, so as not to let the concubine catch up. I will make plans after I plead with the concubine." Liu Jun waved his hand and stopped talking.

Gao Hongyun bowed repeatedly, took a few steps slowly before leading the servant away.

"Why did the prince stop the last general just now? Wouldn't it be great to kill him by taking advantage of this matter?" Xue Shi stinked his face.

"How can I find the place where the wolf pack is killed? Besides, he has a scapegoat now." Liu Jun threw the silver into the box and turned around to continue his carpenter work. "From now on, strengthen the garrison in Jingyang City, and transfer some capable garrisons to guard the royal palace, and stare at Gao Hongyun."
