Chapter 169: Liar
Entering the dungeon, Gao Shenghan ordered to light a few more torches, and carefully looked at the King of Qi, who was not impressed.
Behind the iron fence lay a man on a single wooden bed, emaciated but heroic, dressed in brown homespun clothes, with slightly worn and dirty cuffs.
In such a situation of inconvenient transportation and underdeveloped information, there are still people who can recognize King Qi and catch him, Gao Shenghan has to admire. If it weren't for Father-in-law Deng confirming the identity of this person, she really wanted to ask: Who are you?
This imperial uncle, who was not recognized by his nephew emperor, was sleeping, or simply closed his eyes because he didn't want to see anyone.
Just looking at the face, although the beard has not been trimmed for a while, I have to say that this is a beautiful uncle with clear facial features and a long body. The genes of the royal family have always been not bad, and the concubines are beautiful enough, and it is naturally difficult for the descendants to see where they go. Gao Shenghan even admired such a tasteful and charming uncle.
It's a pity that under the premise that the other party is making a bad move to cut off his money and food, and is likely to want to kill himself so that he can replace him, no matter how much goodwill he has, he has also deteriorated.
Gao Shenghan sat down on the only chair in the room. There was a wolfskin mattress on the chair, but she still felt cold in this place where she didn't know how many meters underground.
Suddenly I regretted that I didn't wear two more clothes down.
"I don't know if my good aunt and cousins and nephews have settled in place." She spoke slowly.
Gonggong Deng understood the holy will, bowed slightly and replied: "Back to the emperor, the big guys are all on the back road, and they will enter Beijing in a few days." "The king of Qi is going to commit a crime, General Wang did not dare to relax, and took the first step to take the hidden mountain road to bring people back, and the family members and staff of the king of Qi were escorted and guarded by a large army behind, and there were about six or seven days away.
"Oh? It's good news, I will be able to reunite with Uncle Huang soon. After slanting the fence, he glanced at it, "When the time comes, the family will go on the road together, so that they can take care of each other." Gao Shenghan smiled and called affectionately, "Are you right?" Uncle Huang. β
King Qi fell asleep and did not react. There wasn't even a hint of movement in the eyelids.
Gao Shenghan said with regret: "It's a pity that my little nephew is only three years old, delicate and frail, don't fall ill on the road." β
King Qi still didn't react. Gao Sheng laughed coldly, "Uncle Huang doesn't know yet, right?" Our army checked the checkpoints of passing travelers and caught 24 villager travelers walking with three or four-year-old children, all of them were detained, and your good servants were invited to identify them. You know what? β
A cruel smile appeared on her lips, and her plump lips slowly spat out the words: "In addition to the twenty children in the neighborhood of the township chief who are confirming that they are innocent and taken away by their families, the origin of the remaining four children is very interesting!" Do you want to hear it? β
didn't look at the other party's reaction, and said to himself: "These four children also have something to do with Uncle Huang. One is a child bought by your family, who is said to be a playmate for Xiao Shizi; One is the son of your servant, who is held by his aunt's roommate; There's another one that your doorman picked up halfway through. The remaining oneβ"
Gao Shenghan deliberately paused, seeing that the other party still had no reaction, and he didn't even move his ears, he secretly hated in his heart, but he also had to admire this person's stoicism, if it weren't for this crooked beating to break his selfishness, he would have lived ten or eight years - no, maybe not ten or eight years, if he has a good business, three or five years later, he may be the one who becomes a prisoner! So he didn't dare to be soft-hearted in the slightest, and gave him a cold blow:
"Although the child has been hungry for a few days, his face is yellow and thin, and his body is dressed in general, but he should not hide a piece of mutton fat jade pendant close to his body! If I remember correctly, then the jade pendant should be engraved with the word Shengshi? Brother Sheng, Gao Yongsheng? β
King Qi finally slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Sen Ran. The cold glow in his eyes is Gao Shenghan, who is used to seeing all kinds of eyes, and he can't help but feel a little cool in his back. It's just that being bold by nature and being in a high position for a long time has made her forget to be afraid. She is no longer the Wuxia Amon who couldn't figure out the situation when she first came.
"I think it's a mistake in the communication below, maybe Brother Sheng'er's jade pendant was stolen. Uncle Huang might as well relax, and he will definitely be able to reunite with his family at that time. I still have something to do, so I won't disturb Uncle Huang's tranquility. Gao Shenghan smiled slightly, greeted politely, and got up to say goodbye.
"I beg the emperor to tell me, who is that minion?" King Qi spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse and dark, with a voiced voice, he should have suffered from the wind cold.
Gao Shenghan's footsteps paused slightly, he didn't turn around, and threw down a name lightly: "Sun Mao." "Leave quickly.
Sun Mao, the second steward of the outer courtyard of the Qi Palace, a fugitive. It is said to be one of King Qi's right-hand men.
Out of the dungeon, turning back to the ground, basking in the warm and even slightly warm sun, Gao Shenghan let out a long breath, and his depressed mood improved slightly.
Gonggong Deng followed the emperor to an open place in the imperial garden, and no one approached the front and back, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Your Majesty, the slave has no idea." β
Gao Shenghan smiled, "But that Sun Mao? β
"It's not." Gonggong Deng leaned closer with his stomach shy, and asked in a small voice: "How does the emperor know about Xiao Shizi...... Ahem, the grandson of the traitor, was taken away? "Every time the Wang family sent someone to report this, he waited with him, and he also knew how much the emperor heard, the three-year-old baby was indeed arrested with the princess of Qi and the princess, where did the emperor know that it was fake? What is it that there is no matter how to set up a card on the road to find out twenty-four children!
Deng Gonggong's brain was excited. "Could it be that you are lying to him?"
Gao Shenghan smiled proudly. "The real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, the virtual is the real, the virtual is the real, it is more convincing!"
That little baby is a fake, she just reads novels and thinks too much, as for the jade pendant, where is the emperor when every clan child is born, there is no indication at all! And most of the big families will wear jade pendants and jade rings for children who value them, and there are generally special marks, combined with the fact that the men of the Qi Wang family who were arrested all have jade pendants on their bodies, and it is not surprising that Xiaodouding also has a piece.
Gao Shenghan was half right this time. King Qi did make arrangements for each of his relatives before dismissing everyone in the mansion, and Xiao Shizi was indeed handed over to the loyal servants to take away, but unfortunately he was only twenty miles out of the city and was intercepted by Xiao Qiang and others. At that time, the king of Qi had been separated from his family for several days to supervise the battle in front, and he did not know about it.
He really believed.
After thinking about it all night, the next day, the king of Qi asked to see the emperor.
