"What does Your Majesty plan to do with the old man?" At this moment, Gao Pei asked with a dead face.

"Don't worry!" Han Xiao gave Gao Pei a reassuring look and said, "Your Majesty has no intention of executing Gao Shangshu, but Gao Shangshu's career is only afraid that it will come to an end!" ”

Although Zhang Lingyang did not instruct, Han Xiao still guessed Zhang Lingyang's mind for the dispute.

It is said that the Heavenly Family is the most ruthless, but no matter what, Gao Pei is the maternal grandfather of the second prince Zhao Han, and Zhang Lingyang will not kill him.

At most, it is to confiscate some of Gao Pei's family property and let him become a leader.

Gao Pei's fate should be quite good, and the other officials of the Three Law Divisions, especially the officials on duty today, are afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed.

After all, Zhang Lingyang had already spoken before and put all the people who humiliated the Shen family to death.

And the end is even more miserable, I am afraid that it is Li Guangtai, who is still safe and sound.

As the imperial history of Zuodu, Li Guangtai knew that the Shen family was Zhang Lingyang's woman, but in order to bring down Gao Pei, he pretended to be 'sick', and then left the yamen of the criminal department in a hurry, ignoring the affairs of the Shen family.

It can be seen how panicked Zhang Lingyang is in his heart?

There is also Zheng Yongji, who is tactful and thinks he is watching the fire from the other side, but he is afraid that it will not end well in the end.

The reason why Zhang Lingyang has not moved them now is because now is a critical time for tax reform, and Zhang Lingyang needs them to face the local gentry.

Once the reform has achieved results, I am afraid that the fate of Zheng Yongji, Li Guangtai and others will not be very good.

Of course, all of the above is just Han Xiao's speculation.

As for whether Zhang Lingyang will move Zheng Yongji and others, when and how will he move? Everything is still unknown.

However, with Han Xiao's understanding of Zhang Lingyang, I am afraid that the fate of Zheng Yongji and others will not be very good.

"Can Commander Han do the old man a favor?" Having realized his fate, Gao Pei begged Han Xiao.

Although Gao Pei has been down, but in the end it is the grandfather of the second prince, Han Xiao will not deliberately make things difficult, seeing Gao Pei begging at this moment, he said: "Gao Shangshu, please speak, as long as the lower officials can do it, they must do their best!" ”

"Can the old man meet the dog?" Gao Pei said.

"Yes!" Han Xiao nodded, turned around and gave a look to a brocade guard captain outside the cell.

The captain of the Jinyi guard understood, turned around and hurriedly left the prison......

Half an hour later, Gao Pei's son, Gao Guifei's eldest brother Gao Jian, came to Jinyiwei Prison.

"Father!" As soon as he saw Gao Pei's figure, Gao Jian ran over quickly, knelt down in front of Gao Pei, his eyes were red and swollen, and said, "Father is okay, right?" ”

"Nothing!" Gao Pei shook his head and asked, "How is the family?" Are you still safe? ”

"Rest assured, father, everything is safe at home!" Takami said while crying: "As soon as I knew that my father was imprisoned, my mother was going to enter the palace to ask to see my sister. But now it is getting late, the palace is only allowed to go out and not enter, and early tomorrow morning, my mother will enter the palace to see my sister, I believe that as long as my sister pleads with His Majesty, my father will be safe. ”

"Useless!" Gao Pei sighed and said, "The old man has made a mistake, and no matter who intercedes, it can't be undone." When you go back, tell your mother that she must not go into the palace to see your sister.

Seeing your sister in the palace, in fact, she is not living well, don't trouble her about my affairs!

Also, if your sister learns of her father's imprisonment, try to prevent her from interceding with His Majesty. Now that she has His Majesty's mercy in the palace, her life is better, once she angers His Majesty, I am afraid that the future will be even more difficult! ”

Gao Pei understood that with his downfall, his daughter Gao Guifei's status in the palace would definitely decline.

With her temper and temperament, she is afraid that she will not be able to swallow this breath.

But if she still has any disputes with other concubines at this time, once she angers His Majesty, I am afraid that no one will bless her.

Even, she doesn't even have the power to raise the second prince.

There are many concubines in the harem, but there are only a few princes by their side, once the second prince is taken away by other concubines to raise, I am afraid that the noble concubine will go crazy.

That's why Gao Pei said so.

After talking about the noble concubine, Gao Pei said again: "You go home now, and after totaling all the property in the family, all of them will be handed over to Your Majesty."

In this way, the Gao family has a glimmer of life! ”

Although Han Xiao said that His Majesty had no intention of killing Gao Pei before, Gao Pei still made a foolproof choice just in case.

Come to think of it, for the sake of the second prince's face, His Majesty will not deliberately embarrass the Gao family.

As for Gao Pei himself?

Gao Pei understands that as long as he has one day to live, he is a thorn in His Majesty's heart.

Therefore, Gao Pei had already thought about his own place before......

The next day, the jailer of Jinyi Wei Prison suddenly reported to Han Xiaoyu: "My lord, the prisoner Gao Pei died suddenly in prison!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Han Xiao suddenly became calm.

At this moment, although His Majesty was angry with Gao Pei, he did not have the idea of executing Gao Pei in his heart, and when he heard the news, Han Xiao dared to hesitate, and hurriedly got up and walked in the direction of the edict......

When he came to the Imperial Prison, Han Xiao saw that Gao Pei was hanging on a white silk, obviously committing suicide.

"What the are you all doing? Can't stand a prisoner? Han Xiao was extremely angry at the moment, and scolded endlessly.

Although he was scolding, Han Xiao did not pause in his hand.

Coming to the cell where Gao Pei lived, Han Xiao carefully checked the scars on Gao Pei's body.

In the end, it was discovered that Gao Pei actually died by suicide.

The reason why he is so determined, Han Xiao has been a Jinyi guard for so many years, is it still unclear whether he commits suicide and kills him?

"After Gao Jian came yesterday, what did Gao Pei say to him?" Han Xiao asked the jailer.

The jailer of Jinyiwei was obviously also professionally trained, and he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and told Han Xiao everything he saw and heard yesterday.

As soon as he heard it, yesterday Gao Pei saw that Gao Pei was clearly telling his last words, and Han Xiao became more and more sure in his heart that Gao Pei died of suicide!

As for his killing, not to mention that Jinyiwei's edict is not so easy to break into, and not to say that the scars on Gao Pei's body are very obvious suicide.

What's more, Gao Pei's political enemies have no reason to assassinate Gao Pei.

That's why Han Xiao is so determined.

After figuring out what was going on, he didn't dare to hesitate, and after determining that Gao Pei had died by suicide, Han Xiao hurriedly entered the palace to see Zhang Lingyang.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he didn't want to be stopped by Sun Sheng: "Concubine Li is inside, Commander Han should come back in a few hours!" ”

Han Xiao said anxiously: "Father-in-law Sun, this official really has an urgent matter to meet Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing that Sun Sheng was still blocked, Han smiled and said, "Father-in-law Sun, Gao Shangshu died in the edict!" ”
