Text Chapter 1828: A Bastard

Haotian Palace, Hao Defang wandered among the pavilions and towers after hearing the news.

Guangtian Palace, Guangling Gong stood on the mountain forest path for a long time without saying a word after hearing the news.

In the land of purgatory, Yang Qing contacted Miao Yi as soon as he heard the news and asked if he did it.

Although Yang Qing was in purgatory, there were people from the Six Paths outside, so he would not be completely ignorant of the news outside.

There was nothing to hide from him about this matter, and Miao Yi admitted that he did it.

Yang Qing was speechless. When he discussed this matter at the beginning, he couldn't come up with any good solution for a while. He didn't expect Miao Yi to go directly to the Gengzi Territory General Mansion to visit him. He only heard about this after Miao Yi retreated. He guessed that Miao Yi retreated under the pressure of the Eastern Army. Considering that he had already retreated, he didn't ask much. After all, he was much more self-sufficient now. Who would have thought that Miao Yi would not be honest when retreating, and threw out a trump card, and actually got people out of the Gengzi Territory General Mansion like this, he was also convinced by Miao Yi.

The incident had already happened, so he couldn't say much to Miao Yi. He just reminded him helplessly: Sir, since you have already appeared in public, you shouldn't do this right away. It's hard for those who are interested not to think of you. At least wait for a while before taking action.

Miao Yi: What can I do if you suspect me of something without any evidence?

Yang Qing: I'm afraid the matter is not as simple as you think. For someone like King Ying, do some things require evidence? This time, the entire Eastern Army was implicated in the blockade and search. It's not a personal grudge in the past. The matter has become so serious that King Ying has to give an explanation to the people below. The Xiahou family is not so easy to bite. He is likely to use you as a scapegoat this time, which is different from the past. You must be careful this time.

When he said this, Miao Yi's mood sank: According to what you said, don't I have to move to another place to avoid the limelight?

Yang Qing: There is no need to avoid it. Yuexing Palace is a relatively safe place. No matter how hard Ying Jiuguang tries, he will not go to Yuexing Palace to mess around. Yuexing Palace Master Li Hua is not easy to mess with. If Li Hua comes out, Ying Jiuguang himself will have a headache. Of course, this is just my guess, but you must be careful now. Once there is an abnormal situation around you, it is very likely that Ying Jiuguang is targeting you. Don't be careless! If necessary, I would rather hide in the Dutong Mansion. If someone makes trouble in the netherworld, I will find a reason to ask the guards to come to the abbot. Under the interference of the guards, the Xiahou family will find a way to make the Ying family's people withdraw, and the crisis will naturally be resolved.

Miao Yi nodded silently and secretly wrote down this explanation...

At the court meeting in the heaven, Ying Jiuguang, who had not participated in the court meeting for many years, finally showed up, but did not enter the court. He knelt on the main steps outside the Qiankun Palace with his bare arms and carrying a thorn on his back, asking for forgiveness!

He sent a large number of troops and lost the Emperor's concubine on his own territory. He must give an explanation for this. He can use others to take the blame, but he can't not show up this time. Showing up is very dangerous. He might as well give Qingzhu enough face. The dignified King of Heaven came here to ask for forgiveness. This move is cruel enough. The ministers have been forced to this point. It is a bit unreasonable for Qingzhu to touch him again.

Except for the Xiahou family, all the people in the court were collectively pleading for Ying Jiuguang. As a result, Qingzhu waved his sleeves and left with a sentence: Let him kneel for three days to reflect on himself first!

After the court was dismissed, the ministers came out and offered condolences when they passed by, whether they were sincere or not.

Only Xiahou Ling came out and stood in front of Ying Jiuguang and snorted, "King Ying, why do you have to do this?" There was something in his words.

Those who understand understood it, and they were referring to why Ying Jiuguang had to be the first to jump out and make things difficult for the Xiahou family.

As a son, Ying Wuman was angry and said in a deep voice: "Heavenly Man, please respect yourself!"

Xiahou Ling glanced at him disdainfully and left with a flick of his sleeves.

How could the Ying family ignore Ying Jiuguang's kneeling? Ying Jiuguang really knelt for three days. Ying Luohuan soon came to the Imperial Garden and saw her daughter Zhan Ruyi. She almost knelt down to her daughter. What could Zhan Ruyi do but to ask Qingzhu.

Qingzhu was found in Xijing Garden. As soon as they met, Zhan Ruyi knelt directly in front of Qingzhu and pleaded for Ying Jiuguang.

Qingzhu really wanted to teach Ying Jiuguang a lesson this time. There was no chance to settle the account of the past. How could he let it go easily this time? However, Qingzhu refused to agree to Zhan Ruyi and knelt down. If it was another concubine, Qingzhu might not pay attention. For this Tianfei, Qingzhu really pitied her. All the love was concentrated on her. He really didn't want to see her suffer any grievances.

So Ying Jiuguang knelt for less than a day, and the decree of heaven was issued, confiscating Ying Jiuguang's salary for a thousand years.

This punishment is not light, Ying Jiuguang's salary for a thousand years is not a small number, but it is not a big number for Ying Jiuguang, and he finally left the Heavenly Palace safely.

However, Zhan Ruyi's behavior angered Xiahou Chengyu again, and he called Zhan Ruyi to scold him, saying a lot of things about the harem not being able to interfere in politics, and forced Zhan Ruyi to kneel in the Tianpin Palace, asking Zhan Ruyi to kneel for the time that Ying Jiuguang had not knelt for.

However, after kneeling for less than half a day, Qingzhu sneaked in again, and found an excuse to help Zhan Ruyi out of the siege, which made Xiahou Chengyu so angry that he smashed a lot of things behind him.

The Gengzi Domain Governor's Office was also in chaos. The cold-faced judge Gao Guan personally led the right-wing troops to investigate the case. He established his authority as soon as he arrived and killed dozens of people on the charge of malfeasance. This frightened everyone in the Gengzi Domain, and Yan Su, who was among them, was frightened to the point of trepidation. She had naturally heard of Gao Guan's name for a long time and was already feeling guilty. How could she not be afraid when Gao Guan personally came?

After that, Gaoguan, who smelled of blood, strode into the main hall and sat down high. With another order, he captured all the guards and horses responsible for protecting Concubine Qin and put them in prison. Then he took the list of Gengzi Domain and wrote. A bunch of names were circled and thrown out, and they were brought in for interrogation one by one.

When Yan Su arrived, Gao Guan's questions were sharp and precise. He caught the flaw in Yan Su's words in just a few seconds and broke through Yan Su's defense. When Gao Guan said, "If you follow the truth, you will be exempted from the death penalty." Under pressure, Yan Su knelt down and told what happened.

After the order was issued here, the supervisors from Yishen Territory immediately dispatched and secretly controlled Fang Aolin for interrogation. With Yan Su's confession, Fang Aolin could not withstand the interrogation and killed four of his subordinates who had silenced him. Things also came out.

A few days later, dragging a black cloak with a high crown and a cold face, he strode into the Heavenly Palace and entered the Star Hall to present the case to Master Qing face to face.

There were only Qingzhu and Shangguan Qing in the hall. After listening to the report, Qingzhu said: "So, this couple doesn't know the true identity of the murderer?"

Gao Guandao: "They probably didn't know. They were just used to send the murderer into the Dutong Mansion. They didn't know the process of the murderer's crime. However, the murderer's intention was basically clear. He wanted to take the opportunity to control the two of them for future use, so I didn’t touch the two of them for the time being, and didn’t alert anyone else. I gave the two of them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Once the murderer contacts them, the right department will know immediately. "

Qingzhu narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's interesting, could it be Niu Youde who did it?"

Gao Guan: "It should be possible. Even Fang Aolin feels that Niu Youde did it, but there is no conclusive evidence and it is impossible to be sure."

"The monkey boy is very capable!" Master Qing muttered.

Gao Guan: "Your Majesty, do you want to arrest Niu Youde and put him on trial?"

Qingzhu pondered for a moment, sat behind the case and waved his hand, "Forget it, just keep an eye on the couple. If it is really found out that Niu Youde did it, don't make it public. I have my own plan here. It’s hard for you to travel back and forth, so go back and rest first.”

"Yes!" Gao Guan accepted the order and resigned.

Master Qing also slowly stood up and walked out from behind the case. He watched Gao Guan disappear and nodded with appreciation: "Gao Guan's ability to do things is quite good. The Eastern Army has not been able to figure it out until now." , we have figured out the basics here.”

Shangguan Qing, who was accompanying us behind, said with a smile: "It's just that his methods were a bit ruthless. He killed dozens of people from the Eastern Army without trial. The Eastern Army had some objections."

Qingzhu snorted, "Don't be soft-hearted when it's time to establish your authority. Gao Guan did this right. Ying Jiuguang still can't explain it. What can you say?"

After walking a few steps in the empty hall, he suddenly laughed seemingly self-deprecatingly, "If it's really that monkey boy who did it, Chengyu really has some capable people under his command!"

Shangguan Qing flattered, "It can only be said that the empress picked up your majesty's leak."

Master Qing snorted coldly: "You are so courageous that you dare to attack my concubine. It seems that you really think that I am not worthy of his loyalty. You are just a bastard!"

Shangguan Qing remained silent, it was hard to answer this...

Black Dragon Pond, a planet covered by strange trees like a net, goes deep into the black market beneath the surface, and digs out huge tunnels, densely woven in the ground like spider webs, where passers-by pass by without showing their true faces, and monsters and ghosts are mixed together. In the tunnel, a shop with different lintels and decorations appears every now and then. The door is closed, and those in need push the door in. After entering, the door is closed again, making it difficult to see the transactions inside.

In a closed door that had not yet hung a sign, Xu Tangran was leading a group of people to look around the store upstairs and downstairs.

After looking over it carefully and returning to the main hall, Xu Tangran, who was looking around, said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. From today on, we have a foothold in the black market here. With a place under our own control, we can rest and so on." No need to worry all the time.”

He was indeed in a good mood. He had already taken care of the things he had come here to do, and he had tried his best to get a shop here, so he could finally explain to the adults when he went back.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. When several people looked back, they saw that someone had opened the door and entered without invitation. A scantily-clad woman from the Ming tribe was the one who was responsible for meeting them when they first came here.

"Miss Jingjing, why are you here?" Xu Tangran greeted her happily.

The woman from the Shu tribe, known as Jingjing, said calmly: "Mr. Xu, our elders have invited you." (To be continued.)
