Chapter 145: Various Methods (II)
Zheng Yunyin felt very aggrieved, you know, he is not one of those discardable little minions, he is a dignified and upright criminal department scholar!
He has been in officialdom for so many years, and he has always treated others as outcasts, and he didn't expect that he would be treated as an outcast one day. ãåâåâģå°â芊âģįķēW xQqã
"King Wei is really unreliable, for such a person to be the enemy of the crown prince, it is really a miscalculation!"
In fact, even Zheng Yunyin himself didn't realize that he was already afraid of Gao Ming at this moment, but this is also a normal thing, after all, Gao Ming's "achievements" during this period of time are too prominent.
As the "uncrowned king" in the court, the officials have always been nostrils to the sky, and no one is afraid, but once they are clever, they are all like defeated roosters, and they are all low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes.
The reason is very simple, because in less than two months, four Yanguan were ruined because of their opposition to Gao Ming, and they withdrew from the political stage of the Tang Dynasty, and the worst one was killed on the spot outside the hall, not only lost his reputation, but also lost his life.
What's even more terrifying is that Gao Ming's reputation has not been affected by this, but has been rising!
This time, Gao Ming's collection of protection money was known to the officials as early as a few days ago, but no one was stunned, not that they didn't want to take advantage of this matter to win back a city, but that everyone in the entire Chang'an City was saying good things about the prince, if they jumped out at this time, wouldn't it be looking for death?
Therefore, not to mention being clever, even Li Goudan, the officials of the people didn't see it!
Moreover, there is already a rumor in the officialdom that it was because Hou Junji's son-in-law Helan Chushi did something wrong and then absconded in fear of crime, so Hou Junji was angered by the prince.
Hou Junji was originally the secretary of the military department of the third grade, which can be said to be a high authority, and now he is the protector of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate from the second grade, although it seems to be promoted, but the discerning people know that this is the Ming Dynasty and I degraded, and now who doesn't know that the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo are not in harmony?
Therefore, Hou Junji seems to be a feudal official with infinite scenery, but in fact he is a poor worm who is ready to carry the black pot at any time, and he will become what he is today completely because of his cleverness!
Thinking of this, Zheng Yunyin almost couldn't help but slap himself.
"Why should I promise King Wei, why am I so stupid? How stupid am I...... Really ......"
At this moment, Zheng Yunyin seemed to coincide with Xianglian's sister-in-law in another time and space.
At this moment, he is not alone!
Maybe because he was too worried, Zheng Yunyin did not hesitate to let people kill the two "human witnesses" who were bought by him, but he didn't know that he was the one who "overturned the chessboard if he couldn't afford to lose" was what Gao Ming hated the most. [Thousand â Thousand âģ Small â Say âģ Net W xQq ]
When Zheng Yunyin thought that he was at ease, Su Gan Chengji had already led people to start checking his old background.
Although the character of the company is not very good, objectively speaking, a person's talent and character have little to do with it, at least when he is doing things for Gao Ming, the mind of the company is still relatively flexible.
For example, this time, Gao Ming gave him three days to find out the truth of the matter, which was obviously a bit urgent, and Su Gan Chengji didn't dare to guarantee that he could find out anything, so he stared at Zheng Yunyin at first sight.
"Since it was this person who did the right thing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then he must have done it, even if he didn't do it, I have to find a way to prove that he did it!"
I have to say that the current situation of Zheng Yunyin and Su Gan Chengji is what people often say, "the wicked still need the wicked to grind".
When Zheng Yunyin and Gao Ming were using their own means, Li Tai was not idle.
The next day, a news began to circulate in Chang'an City, saying that the prince and the criminal department Shangshu were fighting, and three innocent people were implicated and killed.
This rumor is obviously very vicious, and the most vicious thing about it is that it does not name names, but replaces it with a vague phrase like "being implicated and being killed".
Who is involved? Who is the mouth?
It neither said that it was Gao Ming who killed the people, nor did it say that it was Zheng Yunyin who killed the people, so it would attract more speculation and then make things bigger!
In fact, this matter did make a big fuss, and in just two days, this matter had already spread widely, and when he went to court the next day, Li Shimin also warned Gao Ming about this matter.
After returning to the East Palace, Gao Ming, who was angry, immediately threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
"Smack!"
The teacup was thrown to the ground by the angry Gao Ming and shattered, but Gao Ming's anger was not alleviated by this, and he was already so angry that his face turned blue.
"This must have been done by that dead fat man, no, it should be said that he definitely did it, damn, this is going to blacken me to the end, what a hatred this must be!"
However, Gao Ming is not the kind of person who waits to be killed, he immediately called Li Goudan to the East Palace, and then commanded him in a hurry.
"Li dog, there is a dead fat man who made a rumor about me, I want you to settle this matter!"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan immediately gasped.
"Shhh...... His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't do anything about this, why don't you find Su Gan Chengji or Zhang Sizheng? â
Seeing that he wanted to shirk, Gao Ming suddenly waved his hand impatiently.
"Both of them have tasks, okay, don't think about shirking, you are from the market, you are more familiar with these Taos than me, I don't care what method you use, I want you to calm this matter down within three days, otherwise you will be castrated into the palace as a eunuch!"
ââĶâĶâ
Looking at Gao Ming's unquestionable face, Li Goudan suddenly showed a wry smile.
"Xiaguan...... Yes, sir! â
After leaving the East Palace, in order to keep his balls, Li Goudan began to rack his brains and think about it, and just when he was at a loss, a soldier of the Hundred Cavalry Guards who was standing guard smiled at him.
"Haha, Master Li is here? Adult, the little one has something unknown, last time you talked about the old eunuch who specializes in castration, is it the Liu Gonggong next to the saint? â
Hearing this, Li Goudan immediately covered the other party's mouth, and showed a look of horror.
"Don't spread rumors, is that the great eunuch around the saint something we can offend? It's not going to kill you to spread rumors at this time? Belch...... Disinformation? â
Speaking of rumors, Li Goudan seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.
"That's right, people can spread rumors, why can't I?"
Thinking of this, Li Goudan looked at the confused Hundred Cavalry Guards next to him, and immediately patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"Hehe, I have a good errand for you......"
The next day, an even more shocking news broke out in Chang'an City, it is said that there was an old eunuch in the palace who was a man who was a small Ding Ding, who was not only strong in martial arts, but also vicious, and even many guards on duty in the palace were poisoned by him.
This rumor is obviously much more powerful than the story of "the prince and the criminal department Shangshu fighting", and in less than two days, it spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
Nowadays, the whole street is talking about this, and some good people have begun to make up stories of "chicken cutting eunuchs" to cheat people into drinking, and even parents of children have used this to scare their children.
"Woo woo ......"
"Cry again, cry again, the old eunuch will come to cut your little Dingding!"
â(âoâ)âĶâ
When rumors of "chicken cutting eunuchs" were circulating everywhere in Chang'an City, Li Goudan accepted a clever reward in the East Palace with a smile on his face.
"Hahahaha, Li Goudan, you did a good job this time, this is ten guan money, you take five guan, and the rest will be distributed to those brothers who walk the news, you don't have to deduct this money!"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry!"
After Li Goudan took the money away with a smile, Su Gan Chengji also came to the East Palace.
"Your Highness, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and it has been found out that it was Zheng Yunyin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who did it!"
Hearing Su Gan Chengji's report, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Is there any evidence?"
"Yes!"
He clenched his fists, and then beckoned behind him.
"Bring it on!"
Under his order, two tightly bound men were brought up, and after seeing Gao Ming, the two immediately knelt down with a "poof".
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life, this is not our business, it is Lord Zheng who ordered us to do it."
"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, and those two people received the money and prepared to frame His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will spare our lives!"
Looking at the two begging for mercy, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"I'll give you one last chance, if you want to live, tell the truth, then how did Wu De, his wife, and that puppet die?"
After Gao Ming's words fell, the two immediately glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads in unison.
"Wu De was beaten to death by Lord Zheng with our fists and feet, and the other two were strangled to death by us with ropes."
Hearing the words of the two, Gao Ming suddenly closed his eyes, and then let out a long sigh.
"Alas...... Just for a conspiracy, that's three lives! â
After sighing, Gao Ming suddenly turned his head to look at the two of them again.
"The last question, why did Zheng Yunyin deal with me, was he instructed by someone?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, the two of them immediately shook their heads together, indicating that they didn't know, seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly waved his hand towards Su Gan Chengji with some regret.
"It seems that these two people are just little minions, take them down, wait until I pack up Zheng Yunyin, and then send them to the Criminal Department."
"Yes!"
When Su Gan Chengji went down with the two of them, Gao Mingcai helplessly picked up the little tiger who was coquettish under his feet.
"People say that people don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts, I see, this person is more terrible than the tiger, is it right to run to you?"
"Mi ......"
Listening to its meow, which was not much stronger than a cat's meow, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing, and then gently touched his head.
"You little guy is really getting more and more human, go, Dad will take you to see your grandfather, everyone is like a companion, maybe you and him will have some common language!"
"Mi ......"
