Chapter Seventy-One: Dangerous Moves
Two days later, there was news in the palace that Emperor Zhou had transferred the robbery case of the criminal department handled by Tu Lingsi to Dali Temple for trial in the court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Tu Lingsi was responsible for the arrest and arrest of the case, but now he has been in charge of this case for a long time, but he has been like a flower in a fog, neither convicting Gu Hanqing, nor submitting any strong ironclad evidence about this case, which makes people wonder, and can't help but guess that Cen Feng and Tu Lingsi are suspected of favoritism and fraud.
Therefore, under the side knocks and alarmist words of Xiao Yu, the secretary of Dali Temple, and several other ministers, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and his own attention to the case, Emperor Zhou was forced to hand over the right to try the case because of Emperor Zhou's tactful order.
And Xiao Yu's sudden appearance made the matter take a turn for the worse, which Cen Feng, Gao Heng and others did not expect.
Almost all the ministers in the court thought that Xiao Yu had come forward because of the long-standing conflict between Dali Temple and Tu Lingsi, and wanted to rub Cen Feng's sharpness. But in Gao Heng's view, what is brewing behind this matter is another conspiracy that is unknown to another group of people.
Handing over Gu Hanqing to Dali Temple is not only a change in form, but also means that he will really be in a quagmire this time, and his life will be in danger. Moreover, not only him, but even the entire Gu family may fall into an unprecedented desperate situation.
The prince finally couldn't hold his breath anymore. ā
In the study of the South Garden of the Royal Palace, when Cheng Jinzhi heard the news, her first reaction was to say this sentence both angrily and eagerly.
And her second reaction was to look at Gao Heng anxiously, her eyes were full of helplessness and worry, and she asked a question for a while.
"What should we do?"
"Yes, third brother, this matter is in trouble now. Gao Xun slapped his thigh and stood up from the chair, "As soon as Xiao Gu enters Dali Temple, in order to settle the case as soon as possible, they will definitely torture him to extract a confession, unscrupulous means, we have to think of a way quickly." ā
When Cheng Jinzhi heard Gao Xun's words, he thought of Gu Hanqing's tragic situation of falling into prison and being tortured, and his face couldn't help but become even more ugly.
In her heart, Gu Hanqing has always been a special and important existence in her life, and now that she heard that he was in a life-and-death situation, Cheng Jinzhi's only thought at the moment was to hope that he could get rid of the shackles and be safe.
"Today's ministers in the court must have thought that Xiao Yu was openly asking for someone to his father because of the mustard between him and Cen Feng, and because he was fighting for power with Tu Lingsi. Gao Hengjian frowned, "During the whole process, the prince just watched coldly, without saying a word, but Cheng Yan helped Cen Feng argue a few times without pain, as if he intended to show his godfather's obligations for his righteous son. ā
Gao Xun also couldn't wait to say at this time: "But everyone knows that Xiao Gu is the righteous son of Lord Cheng, and it is already very good that his father does not suspect that he is implicated, the more he says this, the more his father will hand over Xiao Gu to Dali Temple in order to avoid suspicion." ā
"The sixth brother is right, this move is attacking the west, presumably this is also Cheng Yan's purpose. When Gao Heng said this, he raised his eyes slightly: "Xiao Yu and Cheng Yan are old friends in private, and Xiao Yu is a person who is eager for quick success, as long as Cheng Yan pouts a few times intentionally or unintentionally, uses Cen Feng to make some radical methods, or makes up a reason for his love son, he will naturally not refuse." ā
"You're really sure it's me... Is that old man controlling all this behind his back?" Cheng Jinzhi's pupils contracted extremely quickly, as if he didn't want to hear a positive answer, "He really... Are you really in league with the prince?"
"Jin Zhi, isn't this the conclusion you and the third brother came to together?" Gao Xun tilted his head and said suspiciously, "Although I also think it's incredible, but listening to what the third brother said, coupled with what Cheng Gongzi said before, what Master Cheng did did really make people feel very awkward, it's like... It seems that there is a feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here. ā
After listening to Gao Xun's words, Cheng Jinzhi did not take over the conversation, but lowered his eyes and sighed heavily.
The prince regarded Gao Heng as a thorn in his side, and he couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly, and now she was shocked to learn that Cheng Yan was likely to be the prince's accomplice, if everything was true, then she, as Princess Yan, was destined to be inseparable from the Cheng family in this life.
Even though she had long been disheartened by the Cheng family, at least nominally, it was still an existence that was named "her mother's family", but now when the truth was half-floating on the surface, when Cheng Yan's sinister mask was about to be torn off, she still felt a chill in her committal senses.
Was he really doing all this?
Why on earth did he do this?
At this moment, Cheng Jinzhi hopes that everything is his guess wrong.
And Gao Heng naturally saw the sadness in Cheng Jinzhi's heart, he put his hand on Cheng Jinzhi's head and stroked it gently, the soft light in his eyes flickered, and when he saw her shaking her head and softly saying that it was okay, he turned his face and returned to a serious state.
"Besides, I think that they are so eager to transfer Hanqing to Dali Temple, not just to convict him. Even if Han Qing and the entire Gu family are convicted, for the crown prince, at most they will find a scapegoat and eliminate a friend by my side, which is probably not what they really want. ā
Gao Xun's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he quickly reacted: "Then third brother, you mean, the person that the eldest brother wants to deal with will not be ......."
The corners of Gao Heng's mouth flashed a few sneers, and his deep eyes were as thick as sticky ink in an instant.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be me. ā
"What? Then we can't afford to sit still here!"
Gao Xun blushed and jumped to his feet in a hurry. And Cheng Jinzhi on the side couldn't help clenching her fists nervously, as if someone was hitting the tip of her heart with a hammer, and the aftermath spread out one after another, making her whole body tremble slightly.
One is the love of the past, the other is the dependence of this life, for her, the loss of either of these two people will be unbearable pain in her life.
"The sixth brother is right, instead of guessing aimlessly here, it is better to gamble. Gao Heng's eyes were fierce, "The top priority now is to rescue Han Qing first and ensure that he can escape with his whole body." Although we can't do anything about the prince, it just so happens that all the spearheads are pointed at Cheng Yan, so we might as well start with him. ā
Gao Heng said, a cold frost rolled in his eyes: "With the way of others, he will also treat his body." ā
Gao Xun was puzzled: "How can this be repaid?"
At this time, Cheng Jinzhi, who had been beside him without saying a word, suddenly raised his head, the cold light in his eyes was stagnant, and his face sank like water.
"Since he is so ruthless, and does not hesitate to frame his own righteous son in order to achieve his goal, then let him taste what it is like to lose someone whom he values so much. ā
