Chapter 341: No More Concealment
The death of Ji Lao and Chang Lao one after another made Ying Lao and Kong Lao very devastated, and the two of them didn't fall asleep all night, and they didn't squint their eyes until the morning when the sky was white, and they each squinted under the persuasion of their subordinates, but this sleep didn't last long, and Qi Mo took Luo Hui and others to see the two.
Since Emperor Qinglong handed over this matter to him, Qi Mo also has to take things seriously, at least he can't leave a handle on people, and now there are more people hiding in the shadows and wanting to see his jokes.
"Two old ancestors, I heard that Elder Chang went back to Teng Shuge with the two of you last night, but why was he found dead in the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night?
Did the two ancestors still have anything to hide about this matter? β
Eagle Elder and Kong Lao didn't know that this matter had been handed over to Qi Mo to investigate, and the two looked at Luo Hui behind them in confusion, as if they were waiting for an explanation.
Luo Hui hurriedly explained: "The Fourth Highness heard about Teng Shuge's incident, and he specially asked the emperor to investigate this matter for the grievances of the two dead ancestors, and also asked the two ancestors to cooperate with the Fourth Highness, catch the murderer as soon as possible, and avenge Ji Lao and Chang Lao as soon as possible." β
Ying Lao and Kong Lao both knew Qi Mo because of Gong Xiru, and they also knew that his current identity was the Fourth Highness, and it was precisely because of this that the words in their hearts could not be said, although they were also unhappy for Ji Lao and Chang Lao, and felt wronged, but their mouths just couldn't be opened, and they couldn't say it or couldn't say it, even if the situation was special.
"Lord Luo, have you searched the courtyards of Elder Ji and Elder Chang carefully? Is there anything missing? Qi Mo asked lightly.
Luo Hui immediately understood, and hurriedly arched his hand: "The Fourth Highness reminded me." Xia Guan remembered that there seemed to be a few utility rooms that had not been searched, and the weather was hot, so His Royal Highness rested in the house first. Let the official look for it again, and if there are any clues, he will definitely report to His Highness as soon as possible. β
This is a person who knows the times, Qi Mo snorted, and after Luo Hui left with everyone, he smiled and saluted to Elder Ying and Elder Kong: "Ancestors, you know me." Nagahiko's friend. β
Eagle Elder and Kong Lao stood up in panic and returned the salute.
"Your Royal Highness, this is tormenting our two old men, and we used to be clumsy and rude. I hope that Your Highness is not strange, Your Highness, please take a seat. Eagle Elder pointed to the upper position.
Qi Mo smiled indifferently: "You used to call me Xiao Mo, but now you can also call me Xiao Mo, the two of you are elders." I should bow to me. The two old ancestors should sit down quickly.
In fact, I came this time just to catch the murderer with my own hands, in the past, your ancestors were very kind to me, treating me as if I was my own grandson, I have always been grateful in my heart, and I also hope to be able to capture the murderer and avenge Ji Lao and Chang Lao.
It's justβ" Qi Mo pondered for a moment, his eyes sweeping in front of the two of them. Finally, he said: "I know, the two ancestors know who the murderer is." I just don't want to say it, but I know what you're worried about, because Nagahiko told me everything. β
Eagle Elder and Kong Lao were shocked on their faces, and Eagle Elder was even trembling with his hands, obviously frightened.
"Your Highness - what Your Highness said, we, we two old men, could not understand." Eagle Elder didn't dare to look at Qi Mo's eyes, and his hands were unconsciously crossed, looking a little uneasy.
Kong Lao immediately echoed: "Yes, Your Highness, how do we know who the murderer is, if we know, can we not avenge the second and third brothers, if Your Highness wants us to cooperate with others, my eldest brother and I will definitely not refuse, but in this matter, we really don't know how to answer." β
Qi Mo also knew that they would not admit it so easily, as Gong Xiru said, the panic back then, he said it for more than 20 years, and over the years, the fake Gong Chengyan had already gained a firm foothold in the court, and he was also quite appreciated by his father.
If the truth is revealed at this time, the whole palace family will suffer, and within a short night, the palace family will be completely destroyed.
He continued to persuade sincerely: "Changyan has long known that Bi Hetang's people are not his real father, but he hasn't told you for so many years.
But this incident can no longer tolerate the two ancestors. Since the fake palace Chengyan dares to kill Ji Lao and Chang Lao, he will definitely do something to the two of you.
He is ambitious, don't you know, he wants to get rid of all the people in the Gong family, and then take everything in the Gong family for himself. β
Eagle Elder and Kong Lao both looked at Qi Mo in astonishment, they thought that no one knew about this matter except for the four of them and Gong Chengyan, but what about the result-
Thinking of Gong Xiru's child, he rarely laughs on weekdays, they still think it is because of his temperament, now it seems that if he had known about this matter a long time ago, who would he have told him about his grievances for so many years, no wonder the child is young and old, and when he knows such a thing, can he not be sad in his heart.
The eagle's chest rose and fell, and his breathing gradually became rapid.
Kong Lao's face was anxious, and he hurriedly patted the latter on the back: "Big brother - big brother, don't worry, Xiao Mo is not an outsider, he has been in the relationship with Changyan for so many years, he knows that it is not in the way." β
Qi Mo was also worried: "Yes, old ancestor, if I wanted to say it, I would have told my father a long time ago, I know how powerful this matter is, don't worry, I and Changyan are connected, not only that, but this time, you have to cooperate with me, catch the real murderer, and avenge Ji Lao and Chang Lao." β
Eagle Lao easily relieved himself, leaned on the back of the chair weakly and panted, his eyes were full of sadness, "Yude's child, if it weren't for that accident, he would be now-
I also had no choice but to do so at that time, my father handed over the Gong family to me, and I couldn't let the Gong family stop sending it to meβ"
Kong Lao sighed and comforted: "Don't blame the eldest brother for this matter, if it weren't for my stinky boy who didn't fight, and the second brother and third brother didn't have a son, you don't have to endure the pain of losing your son at the same time, but you also have to plan that incident, it's not the eldest brother's fault." β
He looked at Qi Mo again and said: "Even if we admit this matter, but if we catch him, he will definitely shake out the secret of the Gong family, and when the time comes, how about it be good to get a fish to die and break the net, if so, it is better for the two of us to let him kill it, Changyan is already an adult, as long as Fusheng gives birth to a grandson, the palace family will still be Changyan." β
Qi Mo's brows furrowed slightly, this is also the most tricky thing, it is really difficult to catch Gong Chengyan without revealing the secret of his fake identity.
"Don't worry, two old ancestors, this matter will be left to me and Changyan to solve, and we will have our own way to lower him. It's just a pretend, what's the big deal. β
Eagle Elder sighed: "If he didn't have a bad heart, how could we treat him like this, over the years, gradually we have also become aware of his ambitions, he has wanted to harm Changyan more than once, I thought that he would not be able to be merciful to him." β
"I understand-" Qi Mo comfortingly took Elder Ying's hand, his eyes flashing with shrewdness: "So in this matter, I need the cooperation of the two ancestors." β
Both of them looked at him, and the old fox of the eagle asked suspiciously: "Is there really a way?" What do you want us to do? β
Qi Mo whispered like this in the ears of the two. After the three of them finished talking, he swaggered out.
Luo Hui was already waiting outside, and when he saw the latter coming out, he immediately greeted him, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Back to His Royal Highness, the lower officials re-searched the two courtyards, but found no useful clues. β
Qi Mo waved his hand, "Let's go, go back, there's nothing to be busy with today." β
"Go back now?" How long has it been? He hadn't spoken to the two men in the room yet. What's more, time is so urgent, how can you be leisurely at this time. Luo Hui only thought that Zhu Mo didn't understand these at all, so he still persuaded: "Why don't we go to the Ling Mansion and the Hou Mansion to ask and see if we can find other clues." β
Qi Mo looked at him lightly: "Are you questioning my ability to do things?" β
Luo Hui was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed his head and arched his hand: "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials have no such intentions, the Fourth Highness is wise and martial, presumably he has already heard useful news from Ying Lao and Kong Lao, this Ling Mansion and Hou Mansion have also been to many times, there is no need to waste time and go again." β
Qi Mo grinned, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Even if you have eyesight, it is impossible for the Ling Mansion and the Hou Mansion, and if you go, it will be in vain, it's just a waste of time." β
"Yes, yes, what His Royal Highness said is extremely true, it is that the lower officials are too stupid, and they didn't expect to go up at that point." Luo Hui complimented with a smile.
Not long after the group left, Ying Lao walked out of Teng Shuge on crutches, and Kong Lao hurriedly followed behind, "Big brother, do you really want to go?" Thereβwhat if that beast does it to you again? Let me go. β
"What are you going to do, I'll go, I don't believe he can strangle me to death." Elder Eagle said with some anger, and the crutches clattered on the ground.
Soon someone came with a sedan chair, and he sat on it and said: "You just stay in the house, I just want to ask him face to face, for so many years, our palace family has treated him well, why does he want to take revenge, if he doesn't make a bad heart, I will treat him as a son, but-"
Kong Lao couldn't resist him, so he could only comfort: "Big brother, don't be angry with that kind of person, it's your own when you're angry, but it makes him happy." β
Eagle Lao waved his hand and told the palanquin man to hurry up.
Gong Chengyan paced back and forth in the room with a gloomy face, Princess Haining was comfortably drinking tea with a teacup, while Gong Yunrui said expressionlessly: "Your Highness asked someone to pass the word, saying that Qi Mo must lose face in front of the world." β
"How easy it is to lose face, now once Qi Mo is in charge of this matter, our goal will not be achieved." Gong Chengyan said angrily.
Princess Haining laughed: "Father is in a hurry, isn't it still confused over there, I let people follow secretly, Qi Mo is also a trickster, where is the ability, he can't break any of the evidence we left." β
The little guy entered the house at this time and reported: "Master, the eagle elder of Teng Shuge is here." β
Gong Chengyan finally showed a sneer on his face: "It's finally here, I waited for him to be silent all morning, and I thought those two old things would have to swallow their anger." (To be continued.) )
