Chapter 57: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth

If the Criminal Department is in charge of the national punishment and the review of criminal names, then the Tu Ling Division is responsible for the inspection and search, and together with the Dali Temple for reviewing major cases, they constitute the "Three Laws Division" in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, for the Tu Ling Division, the people have long been rumored, pointing out that although it controls the national law together with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple on the surface, it is secretly a special supervision agency around the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty, not only responsible for the investigation of all the most secret incidents, but also engaged in related intelligence work.

And all those who are included in the Spirit Slaughter Division must go through layers of selection, and they must undergo severe tests, and the selected people are all elite talents who are one in a hundred. Each chief secretary is directly appointed by the emperor, except for the emperor and the chief secretary, all the affairs of the Tu Ling Division have no right to be controlled by outsiders, even if he is the prince of Gao Heng, he cannot interfere more.

It is precisely because of the confusing opinions of the people that the Tu Ling Division has been shrouded in a layer of mystery.

"Cen Changsi, I know that your Spirit Tu Division has always been resolute in doing things, but is it inappropriate to rush to the Gu Mansion to arrest people like this?" Gao Heng coldly glanced at the officers and soldiers around him, and said expressionlessly in front of Gu Hanqing, "I don't know, I thought that Cen Changsi was going to take this king away with him." ”

Cen Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and motioned to the surrounding officers and soldiers to take two steps back, and then said unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness King Yan has misunderstood, our Slaughtering Spirit Division has always had a basis to follow and a law to follow to arrest people, and this time I just want to invite Young Master Gu to sit in the Slaughtering Spirit Division and ask a few words, and there is no other malicious intent." ”

"Really?" Gao Heng's eyes rolled, "Since Chief Cen just said that the arson case in the Heavenly Prison of the Criminal Department a few days ago was related to this young master Gu next to this king, can I ask Chief Cen what is the connection?"

Cen Feng looked at Gao Heng, whose eyes were dark, and said calmly: "Originally, it was inconvenient to disclose to the outside world what the Tu Ling Division had done, and the cases investigated, but now that His Royal Highness King Yan asked, it would be okay for the lower officials to tell one or two." ”

As he spoke, he stopped his gaze on Gu Hanqing, who had a stern expression, his gaze was like a torch.

"Master Gu didn't say a word since just now, wouldn't it be because he had already expected that something bad would come to the door?"

"Flying disasters are naturally unguardable. Gu Hanqing turned his face and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Gu Mou originally thought that as long as the clouds and the wind were light, he would be able to stay on one side unharmed, but it seems that the world is indeed unpredictable." But fortunately, Gu didn't do anything extralegal, and he had a clear conscience, so why say more?"

"I hope that Young Master Gu, you really have a clear conscience. Cen Feng nodded meaningfully and continued, "Presumably Young Master Gu should know someone named Gu Chen, right?"

Gu Hanqing's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a little surprised to hear this name, frowning slightly.

"He's my second uncle. However, I have always suspected that he had something to do with the death of his late father and has not been in contact with him for a long time......"

"I don't care what happens between you. Cen Feng raised his hand to interrupt Gu Hanqing's words, "As long as Young Master Gu admits that he is a member of your Gu family, as long as I know that you are all surnamed Gu, it will be enough." For the rest of the things, please ask Young Master Gu to go to the Soul Slaughter Division to explain in detail. ”

"What does Lord Cen mean is that this case of the Criminal Department is related to my second uncle?"

Gu Hanqing subconsciously moved a few steps forward, looking surprised, but also showing a hint of solemnity.

After he went to the prince's invitation a few days ago, he was slow to take a stand, thinking that this was the prince's anger at him, but now he suddenly involved their Gu family, who still has a grudge against him. Then I am afraid that this matter will not be as simple as a warning from a dragonfly.

"It's relevant. Cen Feng straightened his expression and looked up at Gao Heng, "But because of the importance of the matter, in addition, the lower officials can't reveal more, and please don't blame His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"Cen Changsi really cherishes words like gold. Gao Heng snorted, his sharp gaze slowly condensed into a thorn, "Young Master Gu is a friend of this king, and I know his personality very well, if anyone wants to distort right and wrong, turn black and white upside down, and want to take this opportunity to impose some trumped-up crimes on him, then when the time comes, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Although Gao Heng was calm on the surface, he couldn't help but worry in his heart. Tu Lingsi has never been a place for good men and women to enter, even if Gu Hanqing's trip is not dangerous, but Tu Lingsi dares to come to the door to "invite people", he must have a favorable clue in his hand, and it is not easy to get out of the way.

And Cen Feng in front of him was alert and tight-lipped, it was impossible to find out the case from his mouth, and the incident was sudden, Gao Heng couldn't figure out any clues at the moment, and he couldn't think of a rescue strategy in time.

"Your Highness, rest assured. Cen Feng resolutely met Gao Heng's gaze, but he couldn't help but be forced to retreat by the momentum in his eyes, so he could only restrain his expression and said, "Our Spirit Slaughter Division wants to be fair in law enforcement, and we will never let innocent people be wronged, and of course, we will not let any traitor go." ”

Seeing Cen Feng's gaze fall on him, Gu Hanqing smiled indifferently, walked to Gao Heng's side and comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, I haven't done anything, they can't help me." It's just that I didn't expect to say goodbye to the old days, and today the old friends have just reunited, and they have encountered such troubles. ”

"Of course I believe you haven't done it, but there are a lot of people I don't believe. Gao Heng glanced at Cen Feng, leaned into Gu Hanqing's ear and whispered, "Remember, say more and make more mistakes, act carefully, and I will find a way for the rest." ”

Gu Hanqing nodded gratefully, looking at Gao Heng's serious and persistent eyes, something that had been blocked in his heart seemed to turn into wind in an instant, making him feel bright and transparent.

The footsteps that were reluctant to move forward stepped on the soft snow, leaving deep and shallow footprints. In such a bleak and lonely snowy day, although he didn't know what kind of test awaited him ahead, at least before that, he cleared the doubts and grudges in his heart. So at this moment, even if I am in shackles for no reason, I feel more at ease because I have an old friend standing next to me who can be relied on.

"Your Highness. Before leaving the gate, Gu Hanqing suddenly stopped, "Don't let Jin Zhi know that we have met, and don't let him know about me, take good care of her." ”

"I will. ”

Gao Heng looked at him deeply, and finally nodded, but a long sadness rippled in his heart uncomfortably.

Gu Hanqing is now deep in the tiger's den, and he does not forget to worry about Cheng Jinzhi, his feelings for Cheng Jinzhi are still the same after a long period of silence and pain, maybe compared to himself, it is already better.

He watched Gu Hanqing go away at the moment, but he was powerless to rescue him, and when he went to face Cheng Jinzhi the next moment, he would have to experience something more sad than powerlessness, that is, it was out of reach.
