When a dog is beaten, it depends on the owner. So if the dog bites someone, who will be held accountable?

Of course, you also need to find the owner.

This is the predicament that King Yong is currently in.

My own dog bit someone and ran away without a trace after the bite. It was only natural that the bitten person would blame Yong Wang.

King Yong could not argue. The body of the deceased was still in the mortuary of Jingzhao Mansion. King Yong sent someone to inquire about the details of the case. He found shoe prints on the face of the deceased and that Manager Liu had indeed left the city on the night of the crime.

, the time coincided perfectly. After the incident, Manager Liu was nowhere to be seen and disappeared inexplicably.

King Yong was comparing his feelings with his own. With so much evidence in front of him, if he were a bad commander in Jingzhao Mansion, he would probably also focus on Manager Liu as the suspect.

"It's so earth-shaking that we have to dig three feet into the ground to dig out Liu Shengqian!"

In Prince Yong's Mansion, Li Lin's eyes were red and he was roaring hysterically.

The death of a refugee is nothing to King Yong. A human life is like a piece of grass, let alone a refugee. In the eyes of the powerful, a refugee is no longer a human being, but a new species, a half-human, half-ghost species, worse than a piece of grass.

lowly.

But when things got serious, tens of thousands of refugees knelt outside the city gate, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai all took over the case, and the court and the people were in an uproar. At this time, the death of refugees was not a simple matter.

The murderer must be found, and King Yong must bear the responsibility. If the situation is not handled well, the emperor may severely punish King Yong due to the pressure of public opinion from both the government and the public. He may be stripped of his royal title and demoted to a commoner.

So after the incident got serious, Prince Yong's Mansion immediately sent out all the detectives and all the available personnel in the Prince's Mansion to search the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, making sure to find Manager Liu.

After several days of searching in Chang'an City with no results, the royal palace's people immediately left the city and searched the prefectures and counties around Chang'an City. They found that all the land occupied by King Yong had farms in various places, and those farms did not escape the royal palace's pursuit.

King Yong frantically searched for Manager Liu, but the wind direction in the court changed day by day, and the evil wind became stronger and stronger.

Three days later, when the people in the palace were still trying to track down Manager Liu, Shangshu ordered Gu Qing to speak.

The people are outraged, who can ignore it? The case of the refugee's death is under the joint trial of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai. The prince committed the same crime as the common people, and Prince Yong Li Lin was asked to appear in court. In order to find out the case, the three divisions can search Prince Yong's palace and look for evidence.

.

The situation finally escalated again.

…………

Inside the palace of Prince Gu Qing.

In the early morning, birds chirped and insects chirped in the backyard. Early in the morning, I heard birds outside the house chirping non-stop on the branches of the cherry blossom tree.

Gu Qing yawned sleepily, then turned over lazily, murmuring: "I must invent a slingshot, and kill those damn birds today..."

Next to Gu Qing lay Zhang Huaiyu. Zhang Huaiyu only wore a red bellyband. His white lotus-like jade arms lay across Gu Qing's chest, and a slender beautiful leg was also placed on his thigh. The two of them were entangled in a strange posture.

Zhang Huaiyu usually has a cold image and should be kept away from strangers, but her sleeping posture is completely different from her image. She is very dishonest when sleeping, walking in a wide open and closed way. Gu Qing was kicked unconsciously by her several times.

Get out of bed.

With a cry of pain, Zhang Huaiyu also woke up and said dissatisfiedly: "Husband, you are pressing my hair."

Gu Qing raised his arms, and Zhang Huaiyu combed his waterfall-like hair, and stood up. When he sat up, his eyes were all white, and Gu Qing felt an impulse in his lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but put his arms around her waist.

Zhang Huaiyu pushed his hand away and said angrily: "That's enough for you. You went crazy last night and still couldn't get enough for most of the night. You only slept for two hours and you have to..."

"Madam's beauty and figure are all the same, and her posture and strength are the same color. It makes me linger, and I know the taste after eating the marrow..." Gu Qing said with a malicious smile.

"My husband is the king of the county, and the great responsibility of the world rests on one shoulder. It is better to be more restrained in this kind of thing. If my husband breaks my body, I will be criticized by thousands of people. If my husband really wants to help the king, I will go and think about it tonight."

Let's sleep together. By the way, Princess Huaijin and Princess Wanchun will also come in soon, and then my husband will be able to gallop forward."

Gu Qing sighed: "Do you think I am having sex with you without restraint just to fulfill my own selfish desires? Do you think I am as happy doing this as you imagined?"

Zhang Huaiyu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I can't even imagine your happiness."

"Madam, you are wrong. I did it to help madam get pregnant as soon as possible."

Zhang Huaiyu was stunned: "Child?"

"Yes, conceiving a child is a big deal. If you are not pregnant with the child, Sisi and Huai Jin Wanchun, who is about to come in, will be under a lot of pressure. If you are pregnant with the child, and the Gu family has their eldest son, everyone will feel at ease.

.”

"Everyone?"

"Everyone, not only the concubines in the backyard, but also many generals of the Anxi Army..." Gu Qing sighed: "The Anxi Army has become a country of its own, and the generals under my command are actually very concerned about the issue of the Gu family's heir. I have a legitimate son, general

Only then can we feel at ease, there will be a successor to the Anxi Army's coach, the morale of the army will be stable, and the generals will be able to fight for me with confidence."

Zhang Huaiyu sighed leisurely: "It's really hard for you to find such a high and serious reason for the matter of bed..."

"Madam misunderstood..."

Zhang Huaiyu snorted, gritted his teeth and said: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, in short... Come on, I'll make you satisfied. In the future, there will be more women in the family, so you won't be afraid of being squeezed dry."

"Madam, sit down and move yourself..."

Half an hour later, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the two of them were lying side by side, panting, both looking satisfied.

Raising his hand lazily, Zhang Huaiyu pinched him hard and said: "Where did you learn so many tricks? Did Sisi teach you about turning the Eiffel Tower over and over? Where is the Eiffel Tower?

?”

Gu Qing gasped and said: "A tower in a remote and mysterious place, built by barbarian hozens."

"I'll quickly choose a day to let Huai Jin in. She likes to make noises. You can make troubles with her in the future."

Gu Qing smacked his lips, and when he thought that Zhang Huaijin was once his third brother, he felt a little uncomfortable...

After resting for a long time, with the sun already rising, Zhang Huaiyu stood up and dressed lazily, glared at him with a charming look, and said: "Don't be so unrestrained in the future, your body is important, I really squeeze you out."

Once you do it, think about how many people are pointing at you to make great achievements."

After dressing up, Zhang Huaiyu opened the door with a slightly conceited step. The maids outside the door were already waiting in the corridor. When Zhang Huaiyu left the house, the maids immediately brought hot water and soap locust to help her wash up.

Gu Qing was still lying naked on the bed. He took out a small handkerchief from somewhere and kept shaking it towards Zhang Huaiyu.

"Uncle, come and play again when you have time..."

…………

The murder case of the refugee finally came to light.

In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Heng looked through the files in his hand with a livid face, his expression full of gloom.

"I only found out about this after all the official documents from the three divisions' joint trial were sent to the official office. Is my palace blocked by Gu Qing?" Li Heng said angrily.

The eunuch next to him, Yu Chaoen, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this case was decided by the Secretary of State, Prince Gu, alone. The order issued did not go through the three provinces at all, nor did he submit a memorial to Your Majesty. Instead, the order was sent directly to

Third Division, the court officials of the Third Division have followed orders."

Li Heng slammed the table and said angrily: "They are all rebellious ministers! They are all just wallflowers! Do you think I am the emperor without power?"

Yu Chaoen said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, calm down. There are still many civil and military ministers in the court who care for Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the true orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty. Gu Qing is just a sycophant who is greedy for power and will be unpopular sooner or later."

Li Heng said coldly: "What happened to the murder case in Prince Yong's Mansion? Was it a frame-up?"

"This case did happen. The body of the refugee is still in the mortuary of Jingzhao Mansion. The body has been disemboweled and examined. It is true that he was murdered. However, it has not been determined whether he was involved with the steward of Prince Yong's Mansion."

"Why should the blame be placed on King Yong when there is no final conclusion? It is clearly Gu Qing's conspiracy. He is going to attack the royal family members!"

Li Heng's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Chao'en, please pass on my decree. There are many suspicious things about this case. The three departments should not make rash conclusions. The death of the refugee should not be suspected in Yongwang Mansion. It is better to place the refugee outside the city."

Look for other clues in the camp."

Yu Chaoen responded hurriedly.

After Yu Chaoen resigned, Li Bi quietly entered the palace.

Without time to pay his respects, Li Mi approached Li Heng and said softly: "Your Majesty, the new governor of Longyou, Pugu Huai'en, has been ordered to lead 30,000 elite troops to King Qin in Beijing. The army has now arrived in Longzhou."

Li Heng was overjoyed: "Pugu Huai'en is indeed a loyal and upright minister. I will reward him heavily."

After a pause, Li Heng said again: "Where are the Jiedushi envoys of the other vassal towns?"

Li Bi said softly: "Hexi Jiedushi envoy Qu Huan also led his troops to march, but the Hexi army was not marching quickly and has only reached Lanzhou so far. Qu Huan seemed to be hesitant and unsteady in fighting. Beiting Jiedu envoy Li

Gong led 20,000 troops to set off, but due to the long journey, they have not yet entered Yumen Pass. As for Xian Yu Zhongtong, the Jiedushi envoy of Jiannan Road... The Shu army on Jiannan Road still stayed put. Xian Yu Zhongtong ignored King Qin's secret order. This person has obviously joined Gu Qing

.”

Li Heng gritted his teeth and said: "I'm a traitor! The Supreme Emperor should not have awarded the governor of Jiannan Road to an old man like Xianyu Zhongtong in the first place. Xianyu Zhongtong was recommended by Yang Guozhong. How can we trust him?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Heng suddenly asked: "Where is Gao Xianzhi now?"

"After Tongguan fell and Chang'an was occupied by the rebels, Gao Xianzhi was dismissed from all official positions by the Supreme Emperor. Now he is in Chang'an and is at home."

Li Hengdao: "Gao Xianzhi was re-appointed, and his deputy general Feng Changqing was sent to pass on the decree. Xian Yu Zhongtong was dismissed from his post as the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, and was appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs. He was granted the title of Marquis of Wuling County, with 300 households in the city, and ten

Gao Xianzhi succeeded Wan Jin, the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, and granted Chang Qing the title of deputy envoy. He ordered Xianyu Zhongtong to quickly hand over the affairs and go to Beijing to take office."

Li Mi took the edict.

Li Heng lowered his voice and said: "The secret decree tells Gao Xianzhi to enter Shu as soon as possible and take office. He will immediately mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road to go to Beijing to serve the king. He must be quick!"

…………

The three divisions of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai received Li Heng's order and stated that they could not frame the royal family members, and that suspicions of refugee murders should be locked in the refugee camps outside the city.

The content of the decree was vague, but the officials of the three divisions were all veterans who had been through the court affairs for a long time. They understood Li Heng's meaning at a glance. It was clearly to protect King Yong and to get King Yong off the hook.
To be continued...
