Chapter 559
Zhang Bao rushed to Dali Temple, and Wantong and the temple supervisor had been waiting in the cold wind for a long time.
Zhang Bao's face was pale, he looked at Wantong and the temple supervisor, and asked coldly: "Where are the people!" ”
"Your Excellency, please!" The temple supervisor hurriedly led the way, not daring to slack off.
Wantong followed, keeping his head down, and didn't dare to breathe along the way.
came to the cell where Gao Shangzhi was held, and at this time, there were already several jailers standing inside and outside the cell, guarding Gao Shangzhi's body.
"Get out of the way!" Wantong immediately shouted.
The jailers crowded in the aisle gave way to Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao came to Gao Shang in three steps and two steps, and after a closer look, he was already expressionless, his face was dark, and he looked dead.
"Carry it out!" Zhang Bao commanded, turned around and walked out.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Sharp! Wantong beckoned to his men.
Zhang Bao's face was gloomy, everyone didn't dare to look at him, those jailers put Gao Shangzhi on a door panel and lifted it out, Wan Tong commanded on the side: "Okay, okay, just put it here!" ”
At this time, there was already snow on the ground, Zhang Bao stood in the snow, looked at Gao Shangzhi lying on the ground, couldn't help but lower his body, leaned up and took a closer look, only to see that his mouth was slightly open, his face was dark, his body was thin, and then he probed his pulse and snort, and sure enough, he had been dead for a long time.
"When the official left yesterday, he was still alive and jumping, why did he suddenly die after one night?" Zhang Bao questioned the temple supervisor.
The temple supervisor was a little flustered and at a loss, so he immediately transferred his anger to Wantong and reprimanded: "How did you act as a cell boss!" How did the good guy die suddenly! Bastard thing! ”
The temple supervisor said, and stepped forward to slap Wantong is two times.
"That's it!" Zhang Bao scolded: "This official is asking you words, not watching you dogs eat dogs!" ”
The corner of Wantong's mouth was bleeding, but he didn't say anything, he wiped his mouth, and calmly saluted Zhang Bao and said: "Lord Qiyu, the villain found out about this situation early this morning, and immediately reported it to the temple supervisor, and at the same time called Ling Shi to come to verify the cause of death. ”
"Have you checked it out?"
"Lord Huiyu, I've found out!" Wan Tong said, lowered his body, lifted a piece of cloth covering Gao Shangzhi's body, tore off his robe, and said: "My lord, please see, Lord Gao has no external injuries all over his body, and the people of Dali Temple have never punished Lord Gao. In addition, Master Gao seems to have been ill for a long time, and according to the examination of Ling Shi, Lord Gao should have died of an old disease. ”
"An old illness? This official has never heard of any old illness of the tall man! Zhang Bao glared at Wantong and said, "Haven't you noticed it on weekdays!" ”
"This matter is a villain's negligence...... The villain is willing to be punished, but the villain has a few words to say! ”
"Say!"
"Before, the villain thought that Master Gao was just pretending and didn't take it seriously, not to mention that in this Dali Temple, nine out of ten prisoners need to be treated by a doctor, and the villain can't set this precedent for him......"
"Fart!" The temple supervisor scolded: "You don't supervise well, and you dare to make excuses!" I ......"
"Shut up." Zhang Bao's voice was low and murderous.
The temple supervisor lowered his head stupidly, not daring to say anything more.
Zhang Leopard wrapped in a cloak, circled around Gao Shangzhi for half a circle, his eyes stared at Gao Shangzhi lying on the ground, not long ago, he felt that everything was still under his control, and now, the whole thing was obviously far beyond his expectations.
Everyone arrived one after another, but when they saw Gao Shangzhi lying on the ground, they talked about it again. Zhang Bao looked back at everyone, and everyone was a few steps away and did not come closer. Looking at it again, even Shi Jian was standing far away, the expression on his face was very calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him, and everyone reacted.
Zhang Bao couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he guessed wrong? Even Wu Liang on the side fell into deep thought.
The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little weird and embarrassing, and between Zhang Bao's eyebrows, a terrifying killing intent was revealed, and no one dared to look directly at him, including Shi Jian.
"My lord, what now?" Wu Liang asked.
"Your Majesty has pardoned Gao Shangzhi, he is now innocent, and his colleagues have buried him!" Zhang Bao commanded.
"The villain will do it right away!" Wantong hurriedly said.
Zhang Leopard had a gloomy face and walked away. Everyone knew that there was no need to get involved in this matter, and they all left.
Seeing that Zhang Bao and everyone were gone, the temple supervisor sat on the ground with weak legs, and muttered to himself, "It's okay...... Adults don't blame ......"
Wantong glanced at him and instructed his subordinates: "Prepare a thin wooden coffin and bury Lord Gao!" ”
"Yes......"
......
Zhang Bao sat in the carriage, without saying a word, and was still haunted by Gao Shangzhi's death. Wu Liang on the side said: "My lord, we have been planning for a long time, but I didn't expect this noble to die suddenly, what a failure!" ”
"The noble death was too sudden! This official never thought of this! Zhang Bao said unwillingly: "All the plans have been disrupted, this was originally a good opportunity to solve doubts, but now it has failed again, it is rare that this is the will of God!" ”
"The cell boss just said that Gao Shangzhi died of illness, although Xia Guan didn't know how to perform an autopsy, but looking at Gao Shangzhi's death, it was not poisoning, and it was indeed not caused by beating and torture, maybe this is really God's will!"
"When the noble one dies, the clue of this matter is broken! This official is really unwilling! Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and said.
"My lord, there is something that the lower official does not know whether to say or not!"
"Say!"
"Today's people are all high-ranking and powerful civil and military officials and royal nobles in the middle of the court, their attitude towards you has been very obvious, you can now be said to be one person under ten thousand people, why worry about this matter again? Those few people in black can't find out the way, so don't check it anymore, even if the mastermind behind this scene wants to do something, it won't affect you, adult. ”
"Nothing? I'm afraid that's too early to say, right? ”
"Your Excellency, if the mastermind behind this scene is really a trick, he will have to do it sooner or later, rather than go to him with all his might, it is better to wait for him to make a move, and it will not be too late for the Lord to make a move! It's called changing with the same! After all, you are now different! ”
Zhang Bao listened to Wu Liang's words, couldn't help nodding slightly, and said, "What you said has some truth!" ”
"Master Xie......"
"Today, the official secretly observed their reactions, and it seemed that all of them were useless and suspicious, and they all had a posture of not caring about their own death. It's a pity that Shi Min didn't come, I don't know how he behaved when he saw this situation. ”
"Xia Guan thinks that the Xihua Hou Mansion still has to be guarded against!"
"Why?"
"The Marquis of Xihua Mansion has a heavy army, and now the Marquis Shi Min is a horse in the court, with outstanding achievements, it can be said that he is the only person who can fight with the adults in the court, for such a person, you can either win over or ......."
Wu Liang didn't finish the last sentence, but in Zhang Bao's heart, he had actually thought about it a long time ago, and he said slowly: "Then try to test him, if it is all the way, get on a boat over there, if not, the official must prepare early!" ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"Now Your Majesty is about to go to Wolong Mountain to live, and the next period of time will be the time for me to plump up my wings! What to do, you don't need to be taught by this officer, right? ”
"Xia Guan understands! The lower officials must live up to the expectations of adults and live up to your kindness. Wu Liang replied respectfully.
Zhang Bao stroked his beard, his eyes were still as deep as night, making his hair stand on end, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a wicked smile.
