Chapter 350: Light and Darkness
"Qinghe Gang?" Gao Heng jumped between his eyebrows when he heard this, and there was a complicated and surprised look floating in his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, isn't your second uncle Gu Chen the leader of the Qinghe Gang back then?"
"That's right, I didn't expect that the person who attacked me yesterday would have such a relationship with my second uncle. www.biquge.info Gu Hanqing nodded with a serious expression, "Since the mastermind of the disaster relief officer's silver case last year pointed directly at my second uncle, with the robbery of the prison of the Criminal Department, this person has disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and almost no one has found his trace again. ”
"I originally thought that most of the Qinghe Gang, except for your second uncle, had already died because of the old official money case, and there should be very few people left. Unexpectedly, this person named Xiao Yuan was still alive in the world, and now he is still used by the prince. ”
Gao Heng said as he raised his hand to lift the corner of the curtain and glanced out, seeing that Shen Jun had not left the house yet, he gently lowered the curtain again.
"Since he is safe and sound now, and he is still doing things for the prince, does it mean... The reason why my second uncle was made the mastermind of the case back then, and was chased and killed everywhere by the public, was this person betrayed?"
"Quite possibly. Gao Heng nodded darkly, "This can explain why he has been able to survive so far without incident, and he still worked hard for the prince to capture the golden branch." ”
As he spoke, he furrowed his eyebrows again, and said with a questioning expression, "But are you sure that the person who told you his identity was not for the purpose of coveting this money, or was he sent by the prince to play tricks?"
"To hide from His Highness, for the sake of these ten thousand taels of gold, there are indeed many people who have provided me with false information and tried to defraud me of this money, or deliberately tried to confuse the public and lead me to the wrong path. ”
Gu Hanqing breathed a sigh of relief to relieve the pain caused by the knife wound on his arm, and then his expression was faint.
"But rest assured, Your Highness. I may still have doubts and doubts about other people, but this person and I have known each other since childhood, and his family was generously helped by my father in times of crisis, and he has always had a good relationship with my Gu family, so he has no reason to lie to me. And this person, even if His Highness has never seen it, he must be familiar with the family behind him. ”
"The family behind him?"
Gao Heng raised his eyes thoughtfully when he heard this, muttered for a moment, and suddenly tightened his pupils and sank.
"Could it be that you're talking about, Yuyin Villa?"
"Yes, as Your Highness expected. Gu Hanqing said calmly, "Their young owner has just arrived in the capital in the past two days, and after hearing the reward order issued by me, he made a special visit to the palace at noon today, and informed me of this matter by the way." Of course, he didn't take a penny of that gold, but I owe him a favor.
"Since it is their young owner, it should be worth believing. ”
Gao Heng said meaningfully, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart that this person was not Xu Ruyan, who was also from the Jade Seal Villa.
"Why? Listening to His Highness's words, there seem to be people in this Jade Yin Villa who His Highness doesn't want to believe. ”
"No, I'm just out of caution, so I'll just say more.
Hearing Gu Hanqing's sudden question, Gao Heng's eyes trembled slightly, and he deliberately avoided his gaze and changed the topic.
"By the way, although we know the identity of this man now, we don't know where he is hiding. Since he has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for a long time, it is not easy to find him. Unless ......"
"It seems that Your Highness and I have thought of one place. ”
Looking at Gao Heng's deep eyes, Gu Hanqing's eyes flashed lightly, and he already understood it in his heart.
"My second uncle is still in the Spirit Slayer Division, and I think he might be able to help us. ”
"Well, if it was really this Xiao Yuan who betrayed your second uncle at the beginning, he must have hated this person now. Similarly, if Xiao Yuan knew that your second uncle had broken free from the cage, he would definitely not be at ease. ”
"What does Your Highness mean to lure the snake out of the hole and use my second uncle to lure out this Xiao Yuan?"
"Specifically, I have to respect the opinion of Cen Feng, the head of the Soul Slaughter Division, he has helped me, and I don't want to trap him in injustice. Anyway, let's go to the Spirit Slayer first. ”
As soon as Gao Heng's words fell, he saw that Shen Jun and his party had walked out of Ruoshui Juzhong quickly, and he left Gu Hanqing, who was weak, in the carriage, and then got up and stepped out of the carriage.
In Gao Heng's heart, nothing at this moment is more important than the safety of Cheng Jinzhi and the fetus in her womb.
Now that the prince is pressing step by step, Princess Yuanxi and Yuan Peng, the two brothers and sisters, are nowhere to be found, although he has never thought of giving up, but in his heart
In fact, he was ready to enter the palace in person to confess his guilt to Emperor Zhou.
But he also knows very well that the prince has a cunning and ruthless personality, even if he really does what he wants, Cheng Jinzhi may not return to his side safely.
As a last resort, he didn't want to make a risky move at all, and he took this step to bring about his own destruction.
If he could find Cheng Jinzhi's whereabouts before tomorrow night, how could he be willing to sacrifice the trust and status he had worked so hard to accumulate in Emperor Zhou's heart over the years, as well as the respect and glory of the Yan Palace, and be defeated without a fight.
Like the past he didn't want to look back on when he was a child, he was trampled under the feet of the prince and queen again?
As long as he is convicted by Emperor Zhou for this case this time, the prince will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue him.
What awaits him and Yan Wangfu next is probably a real catastrophe.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have carefully searched for it, King Heng and Princess Yuanxi are indeed no longer in the mansion. ”
"Got it. Gao Heng nodded solemnly, "Since they left in a carriage, under this blue sky and white sun, the goal should be obvious." In this way, you take a few people who are skilled in martial arts along the road to inquire about their whereabouts, and if you catch them, be sure to stop them for me and take them back to the inn. As for here, you also send two people to guard here, and when the previous group of followers come back, tell them that as soon as there is the whereabouts of King Heng and the princess, you will immediately send people to chase them. ”
However, just as Gao Heng's words fell, he saw a guard from the Yan Wang's Mansion hurrying from not far away.
As soon as he saw him, Gao Heng hurriedly stepped forward with a look of surprise on his face.
"Why are you the only one coming back?"
"Back to His Highness, the others were still chasing the princess's carriage, and the subordinates came back to tell His Highness that when their carriage passed by Changmen Street, King Heng got off halfway and entered a teahouse. The subordinate and another person waited in the teahouse for a long time and didn't see him come out, so they went in and searched carefully, unexpectedly......"
The guard said nervously, bowed his head with self-reproach, and before he finished speaking, he saw Gao Heng's eyebrows slightly raised, and he said in a cold tone.
"He's gone, isn't he?"
