Chapter 563: Perfect (two shifts) (1/2)

Chapter 563 Perfect (two more)

The night was heavy, and Xiaokong took Liu Quan’s carriage back to Bishui Hutong.

The dark guard on the roof of the car, who was responsible for protecting him, also volleyed into the house.

”Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao!”

The first thing Xiao Jingkong enters the house is to call Jiaojiao, regardless of whether Gu Jiao is present or not.

Fortunately, Gu Jiao is still at home today.

She came to treat Uncle Zhao next door. In the evening, Uncle Zhao's grandson suddenly ran to the hospital, saying that Uncle Zhao had fallen and couldn't get up. Gu Jiao hurriedly put down the work at hand and rushed back.

Uncle Zhao’s fall was an accident. He sprained his right wrist and ankle. The pain was unbearable and unable to get up. Gu Jiao also checked other things while inspecting the injury for Uncle Zhao, but found that Uncle Zhao had high blood pressure.

is not serious, so Uncle Zhao doesn’t feel much on weekdays.

But if you wait until you have unbearable discomfort, the situation will be very serious.

Gu Jiao prescribed some blood pressure lowering drugs to Uncle Zhao after he treated the injury. As soon as she returned to the East Room, she heard Xiao Jingkong's voice.

Gu Jiao put down the medicine box and went out.

”Jiaojiao!”

Xiao Jingkong plunged into Gu Jiao's arms.

The five-year-old dumpling is no longer the only way to hug Gu Jiao's thigh when he first came here. He now stands on tiptoe and can barely reach Gu Jiao's waist.

Gu Jiao would usually bend down and directly let Xiaojingkong pounce into her arms.

When she did this action, she was not full of maternal tenderness like Yao's. She was actually a little stiff and her expression was too calm, but she wrapped her arms around the small clear space, and the landslide and tsunami were all blocked behind her. The sense of security is unmatched by any embrace.

Xiao Jingkong breathed Gu Jiao's breath with peace of mind, closed her eyes, and her heart calmed down: ”Jiaojiao.”

Gu Jiao rubbed his little head: ”Go to the palace?”

Gu Jiao heard what Yao said.

”Hmm!” Xiao Jingkong nodded, ”I'm going to see my aunt and brother!”

Gu Jiao took his little hand and walked to the backyard: ”Auntie and brother are okay?”

Xiao Jingkong said happily, ”Okay, they are all good! No, my little brother is not good.”

”What's wrong?” Gu Jiao asked.

Xiao Jingkong sighed: ”It seems that something has happened to his mother. I don't know what happened. I am worried for him.”

What happened to Princess Ning'an?

Gu Jiao paused: ”Then I will turn around to help you inquire.”

”Ok!”

The two came to the well, and Gu Jiao hit a bucket of water to wash his hands.

Fortunately, Xiao Jingkong is a cold-resistant child, not squeamish at all. In exchange, Qin Chuyu might have been crying out from the cold.

Gu Jiao also feels that the well water is really warm in winter, so she can take a bath directly.

It's just that the family won't let it.

After washing his hands and getting a small clearance, he went to punch. Gu Changqing taught him the boxing method. He practiced it every day, at least once, as many as three or four times, and never stopped.

Gu Jiao feels that to keep fit, once a day is enough, without having to work so hard.

Small clearance is not just for physical fitness, he has to protect Jiaojiao, and also, protect his chickens.

It doesn't hurt to practice more, Gu Jiao let him go.

At night, Gu Jiao learned about the emperor's assassination and coma.

The study room of Lao Jijiu next door, Gu Jiao, Xiao Heng, and Lao Jijiu are sitting on the mat next to the low table.

”I knew she would make a move, but I didn't expect it to be so...” Old Jijiu sighed.

They publicized the case of Xianleju, so that the whole world forced the emperor to investigate the case, gave the people an explanation, and then had Hua Xiyao's confession.

'S original intention was to force her to take action.

After all, a person can only reveal his flaws when he makes a shot.

Old Jijiu thoughtfully said: ”I thought that she would make bitter tactics and make your majesty feel soft. Or she would destroy the confession before your majesty saw the confession, and then send someone to assassinate Hua Xiyao. But what about her? Just stabbed your Majesty?”

”It was smashed.” Xiao Heng corrected.

”It's all the same.” Old Jijiu cleared his throat, ”Your Majesty is so pitiful.”

Xiao Heng: Your expression is obviously not like this.

Gu Jiao was thirsty and went to drink tea.

Xiao Heng took her cold tea without a trace, and exchanged the cup of hot tea he hadn’t used to her.

His gaze did not fall on Gu Jiao, and his expression was very pale, as if it were just a casual gesture. He said: ”Your Majesty should have read the confession letter and chose not to believe her, and may even want to detain her. She Then he took the risk and took action against your Majesty. Two doubts, one, why doesn't your Majesty believe her? Second, there is a Dragon Shadow Guard next to your Majesty, how did she cross the Dragon Shadow Guard and attack your Majesty?”

Queen Xiao had never seen Long Yingwei's greatness, and couldn't imagine how fast they shot. No one could easily hurt her majesty under Long Yingwei's eyelids, and even if it was hurt, it was impossible to retreat all over.

”The first point I am puzzled.” Xiao Heng said.

Gu Jiao nodded.

She is too.

His Majesty loved Princess Ning'an so much, he suspected that she was a bit unreasonable with a confession letter.

Unless something else happened in the Yushufang at that time, your majesty's filter of affection for Princess Ning'an was suddenly broken.

Lao Jijiu stroked her gray beard and said: ”At the time, Princess Jing fell off too quickly, and I always felt that there was something between her and your Majesty that we had overlooked.”

Xiao Heng said: ”About the second doubt, I have a guess in my heart.”

Old Jijiu looked at him: ”You said.”

Xiao Heng analyzed: ”It is impossible for her to go past Long Yingwei and attack Your Majesty. She has either led Long Yingwei away or defeated Long Yingwei. She didn't know that Sun Ping would come to deliver the letter before, so Long Yingwei invited him in advance. The possibility of opening is unlikely.”

”So she can beat Long Yingwei?” Old Jijiu looked at Gu Jiao, ”Jiaojiao, can she martial arts?”

Gu Jiao took a sip of the hot tea that Xianggong handed over. Her belly was warm. She shook her head: ”I didn't find it.”

Lao Jijiu frowned: ”Is she a master who uses medicine to change her pulse like Jing Taifei, and conceal that she can martial arts?”

Gu Jiao said: ”If that is the case, her body will appear weak, she does not have this situation.”

Xiao Heng opened his mouth and said: ”You don’t have to know martial arts to deal with Long Yingwei. Everything in the world grows and fights against each other. Long Yingwei comes from the country of Yan. I think Yan country must have a way to deal with Long Yingwei.”

Several people thought of the forces behind the collusion with Xianleju.

They are doing so step by step, are they really afraid of a young master of Xianleju?

With the ability of the Queen Mother, is it difficult to make an order to abolish this princess?

The reason why he still wants to play scheming in his own rank is to a large extent to test the Yan Guo forces hiding in the dark.

Xiao Heng paused, and said, ”Hua Xiyao can no longer stay in the Criminal Ministry.”

The emperor of the confession letter could not identify the true and false, but the young master of Xianleju could see the flaws at a glance. After all, the confession was not Hua Xiyao's real experience at all, and the narrative tone was wrong, the only thing was the same. It is the handwriting, but when the first two points are falsified, it is not difficult to guess that the handwriting is also artificial.

The young master of Xianleju understands that Hua Xiyao has not betrayed her so far. However, it is not what it used to be. She has made such a big move and the risk she has taken is much greater than before. It is always a threat.

Xiao Heng did not feel distressed for Hua Xiyao's life, but Hua Xiyao was always one of the important witnesses to overthrow the young master of Xianleju.

After several people’s negotiation, Hua Xiyao was secretly sent to the hospital that night, and became neighbors next door with Mo Qianxue.

Hua Xiyao: ”...”

Mo Qianxue: ”...”

Gu Jiao planned to transfer the Dark Guard to look at Hua Xiyao, and Mo Qianxue hummed, “It doesn’t have to be so troublesome, I can see her firmly...the cartilage is scattered a little bit!”

Hua Xiyao: ”...”

After placing Hua Xiyao, several people evaluated the risk factors of the other related personnel. From youngest to largest, they were Empress Xiao, Emperor, and Xing Shangshu.

Empress Xiao is investigating this case. The less insider she knows, the safer she is. As long as her direction is wrong, it is what Princess Ning An wants. Once she realizes who the real culprit is, the situation becomes dangerous.

This is why Xiao Heng decided not to tell her the inside story for the time being.

The emperor is now in the hands of Princess Ning'an, and his personal safety is difficult to guarantee, but if he dies at this time, Ning'an's interests will stop there. Ning'an will not move him until the emperor’s value is drained. .

I don’t know how long this value can be squeezed.

Xing Shangshu may be the first to be attacked.

The next day, Dali Temple set about investigating the assassination of Emperor Sun Pingping. Xing Shangshu firmly claimed that Sun Ping was wronged and hoped that Dali Temple would give Sun Ping justice.

Xing Shangshu is a member of the second rank, unless his majesty personally decree to sentence him, otherwise Dali Temple really cannot be tortured.

But it's not a solution to consume it like this.

Just as the Dali Temple was struggling to find no conclusive evidence of the case, an officer of the Criminal Ministry came to Dali Temple and claimed that a suspect held by the Criminal Ministry had evidence of the case.

Dali Temple hurriedly called people to the interrogation room.

Xing Shangshu is also there.

Xing Shangshu never expected that the person who came would be Li Shilang.

Li Shilang was arrested for investigating the case of Xianleju, and he carried a life on him. There was not enough evidence to reverse the case for him, so he was temporarily taken into custody in the Criminal Ministry.

Xing Shangshu had a plan in his heart, and he would let Li Shilang out when he defeated Xianleju.

”Two adults.” Li Shilang bowed his hands to the two of them.

Dali Temple Qing said: ”No need to be polite, I heard that Shi Lang Li holds clues to this case.”

”That's right.” Li Shilang looked to the ground in front of him without squinting his eyes, and said, ”Actually, the lower official knows who the chief envoy behind him is.”

”Oh?”

”Sun Ping is just a sharp blade, and the real murderer is someone else. He is...” Li Shilang said that there was a sudden pause.

Xing Shangshu's heart was filled with an ominous premonition.

Li Shi Lang turned his mind and said: ”Master Xing, I'm sorry, I have let down your cultivation of the lower officials in the past few years, but the lower officials really can't keep it for you!”

Xing Shangshu looked at him incredulously: ”Li Shilang!”

Li Shilang did not go to see him, but took a few letters in his arms and handed them to Dali Temple Qing: ”These are the evidences that Master Xing and the Sun Ping brothers went privately. Sun Ping's cousin Sun Jian was once a gangster. When he was traveling, he encountered several robbers. Sun Jian had a grudge against the gang, so he beat the gang. Unexpectedly, this happened to Master Xing, and Master Xing brought the two brothers into the Criminal Department to serve as a government servant. Sun Ping is still honest, but Sun Jian has some inferiority and does not change. Xing Da has repaid his gambling debts several times. These are Sun Jian's IOUs and regrets.

Not long ago, Master Xing gave Sun Ping a large sum of money and asked Sun Ping to do a great deal for him. The one who was under the official was overheard from outside the duty room. Master Xing told him that this matter was of great importance, and he must be kept tight-lipped about Sun Jian. The subordinates also heard Sun Ping say that if I can't come back, ask the doctor to take care of my cousin for me. Although my cousin has taken a good bet, he has been making changes and has been making changes for a long time. ”

Dali Temple Qing asked: ”Why didn't you say it earlier?”

Li Shilang said bitterly: ”We are the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and we often have to investigate some confidential cases. I thought Sun Ping was sent out to investigate a major case that might lead to murder. That's not what I should do. I didn't. Going to my heart. It was this morning when I heard the servant outside the cell say that your majesty was assassinated and that the murderer was Sun Ping, so I remembered this.”

The most heartbreaking thing is never the enemy's swords and guns, but the cold arrows of the same robe.

”Why did you do this?”

”My lord, isn't what I said is true?”

is true, but not the whole truth.

Xing Shangshu did ask Sun Ping to do something for him, and gave Sun Ping a few silver notes, but he was just taking care of his family for a dead servant.

The officer was retaliated to death by the murderer while investigating a homicide. Xing Shangshu always felt guilty and felt that he had failed to protect his subordinates.

I don’t know that this happened before Sun Ping had time to send out the banknotes.

Sure enough, people are unlucky enough to drink water between their teeth.

Dali Temple looked at Xing Shangshu with a complicated expression, and said to Li Shilang: “So, the culprit behind Sun Pingxing’s assassination of His Majesty is Xing Shangshu?”

Li Shilang said: ”Xing Shangshu was the one who instigated Sun Ping, but he was not the culprit behind the assassination of His Majesty, and Xing Shangshu was just doing things for others.”

As soon as this remark came out, not only Xing Shangshu's eyes were filled with surprise, but even the Dali Temple Qing was shocked.

Dali Temple Qing said seriously: ”Is there a hidden story? Who is the culprit behind the scenes!”

Li Shilang closed his eyes sadly, as if he had made a huge decision, and said: ”It's the queen mother!”

Xing Shangshu punched Li Shilang to the ground!

……

Li Shilang submitted part of the letter written by the Queen Mother to Xing Shangshu. It is not a letter written by the Queen Mother, but this is also easy to understand. In order to be afraid of falling behind, how can a shrewd person like the Queen Mother have his own handwriting?

She can't even use the handwriting of people around her.

But if each letter is burned with candle fire, the phoenix seal of Empress Dowager will appear on the paper.

The content of the letter is confirmed. These years, Xing Shangshu has been working on the plank road between the emperor and the empress dowager. The last letter was seven days ago. The empress dowager said that she had endured the emperor for a long time, and the emperor had been against her for many years. I couldn't do her hard, so I started to confuse him with filial piety.
