Chapter 29: Intercession
"Master Gu Qing, it turned out to be Master Gu Qing, the leading alchemist of my Jiang Dynasty, I didn't expect him to come. ”
"Wait, he's going to testify for Ling Yun? He's actually here for Ling Yun?"
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on with this Lingyun? Even the Gu Qing Master of the Treasure Pavilion came to testify for him? Is this just a coincidence?"
"Also, did you hear that? Master Gu Qing actually called Ling Yun Xiaoyou? Even if he was a high-ranking official and nobleman, Master Gu Qing never called him that, right? What did this kid do?"
The person who came was none other than Gu Qing, the first alchemist of the Jiang Dynasty and the pavilion master of the Treasure Pavilion.
Seeing his appearance and hearing his words, the scene was almost one-sided with surprise.
In terms of status, the status of this Gu Qing is not lower than that of Yun Sheng.
And because of his identity as an alchemist, even His Majesty Jiang Yuheng had to be polite to him.
Now, he actually came forward to testify for a person who couldn't beat him?
Even many people wiped their eyes several times, and finally confirmed that it was Gu Qinghou before slowly accepting this fact.
Gu Qing walked in front of everyone, and actually smiled politely at Ling Yun first, before he arched his hand to Jiang Yuheng and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I am also to blame for this matter, when Hao Supreme came to the Treasure Pavilion to worship me as a teacher, but I rejected it and was dissatisfied. happened to see Lingyun Xiaoyou leave the Treasure Pavilion, so he deliberately vented the anger in his heart on Lingyun Xiaoyou, Lingyun Xiaoyou didn't want to deal with it, but instead caused Hao Zhizhang's killing thoughts, and threatened to kill Lingyun Xiaoyou to vent his hatred. As a result, Lingyun Xiaoyou had no choice but to take action to protect himself. ”
It turned out that Hao Zhizhang was to blame for all this. ”
"Hao Zhizhang has always been arrogant and domineering in the imperial city, bullying men and women. Ling Yun didn't know how many times he had been bullied, even if he wanted to blame, the first person to blame was Hao Zhizhang, not the victim Ling Yun. ”
"Hao Baichi indiscriminately led the army to besiege the General's Mansion and imposed charges on the General's Mansion. ”
Everyone said a word to you, and I said a word, and there was a lot of discussion.
Master Gu Qing's words, no one would question them.
Including His Majesty Jiang Yuheng.
Yun Sheng, Hao Baichi and the others had extremely gloomy faces, and Hao Baichi even snorted at Jiang Yuheng a few times: "Your Majesty, it was Ling Yun who deliberately abolished my son." You can be sure to see what is going on. ”
Gu Qing's eyebrows were cold, a little angry. "General Hao, what do you mean by this? Do you think that I am in collusion with Lingyun Xiaoyou, and I can't deceive the king?"
Everyone looked at him and shook their heads and sighed, this Hao Baichi is really an idiot at home, and now, not only does he not repent, but he also indirectly slanders Master Guqing?
"Presumptuous. Jiang Yuheng scolded angrily: "Hao Baichi, you have nothing to do with your own discipline, you put the blame on Ling Yun, and led the warriors without authorization, wanting to kill Ling Yun and General Ling Zong, causing innocent casualties." Now that the truth is revealed, he still can't recognize the mistake and slander Master Guqing. This is a crime and a crime, which can be described as a heinous crime. Today, I will remove you from your official position and condemn you and your son to death. Sentenced to death on a later day. ”
Hao Baichi's face turned pale in an instant, like five thunderbolts, and he sat on the ground, trembling with fright, but obviously he didn't want to die yet, and immediately turned his eyes for help to Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng's face was extremely cold, and his heart was burning with anger. He never dreamed that things would become like this, let alone that at this critical juncture, Bai Jing and Gu Qing, who were obviously ignorant of the world, would stand up and speak for Ling Yun.
Now that the matter is settled, it is useless for him to say anything.
At that moment, he immediately knelt down to Jiang Yuheng and took the initiative to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, this time it was the old minister who was reckless and acted arbitrarily without ascertaining the facts. So as to make such a big misunderstanding, please punish the old minister, otherwise the old minister will be ashamed of the emperor's grace and the general's mansion. ”
"Sure enough, it's an old fox. ”
Ling Yun pursed his lips. This Yun Sheng did not intercede for Hao Baichi, and took the initiative to ask for guilt, so he undoubtedly left himself and this matter behind, even if Jiang Yuheng really wanted to punish him, he would not be too vigorous.
Sure enough, Jiang Yuheng waved his hand and motioned for Yun Sheng to get up: "Yun Sheng, this time it was indeed you who were wrong, and almost made the General's Mansion suffer an injustice." Fortunately, things have not yet developed to the point of being out of control, and you are so sincere in pleading, then I will punish you to make amends to General Ling Zong, and at the same time compensate the General's Mansion for 500,000 taels of silver, do you have any objections?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and the minister has no objection. ”
Yun Sheng was grateful.
Ling Yun couldn't stand it.
Is it really so easy to fool the general's mansion? It's all over with just 500,000 taels?
Ling Yun arched his hand and said to Jiang Yuheng: "Your Majesty, it is really sad in my heart that my General's Mansion has suffered such humiliation today, so the kid has the courage to ask His Majesty for some gifts, hoping that Your Majesty will fulfill it." ”
Jiang Yuheng raised his eyebrows, he was thinking about how to appease the General's Mansion, and now Ling Yun took the initiative to ask for a gift, which was undoubtedly better: "Say, whatever gift you want, I will promise you." ”
Ling Yun's face did not change: "I want to ask Your Majesty to be extrajudicial and forgive General Hao Baichi to death." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Is this Lingyun in the water? Asking for gifts instead of gold, silver, jewelry, or panacea, but interceding for a person who wanted to kill him before?
Normal people shouldn't be able to do this, right?
Jiang Yuheng was also stunned: "Ling Yun, Hao Baichi is treating your general's mansion like this today, do you really want to intercede for him?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sure. General Hao used to be my grandfather's subordinate, and he was loyal to my grandfather, and today, he just loves his son. General Hao, you said yes, right?"
With that, Ling Yun walked over and helped Hao Baichi up.
It's just that in the process of supporting, Ling Yun whispered in Hao Baichi's ear: "Nine-five-two-seven, if you don't want you and your son to die, just tell me who poisoned my grandfather back then." Yun Sheng has long cared whether you live or die, only I can save you. There is only one chance, and it is up to you whether you can cherish it or not. ”
The words made Hao Baichi stunned.
Does he want to die?
He didn't want to.
He didn't want his son to die like that.
Yun Sheng did not intercede for him in order to protect himself, no matter whether he lived or died, only Ling Yun and only the General's Mansion could save him and his son.
Thinking of Ling Yun's last sentence "There is only one chance, it depends on you whether you cherish it or not", Hao Baichi completely let it go.
Thump.
He knelt down again, only this time it was not Jiang Yuheng who knelt down, but Ling Zong.
