Chapter 1003: Conflict of Reason

The streets of the capital are full of people coming and going, which makes Cheng Haofeng feel strange prosperity, and what he remembers is those thrilling crises, as if the peaceful and happy scene in front of him is a dream.

Cao Beidao was accustomed to seeing the bustling street scene, and couldn't guess why Cheng Haofeng was stunned, so he asked worriedly: "Are you sure you can find physical evidence?" Our sacrifices and efforts have not been in vain. ”

"Gao Youquan must be made to pay the price, no matter what the emperor's attitude is." Cheng Haofeng came back to his senses and said with a firm gaze.

He also made it clear that although Han Zexi asked them to check the evidence again, he did not issue an order to withdraw the pursuit of Gao Youquan, and all localities still had to step up their efforts to find out all the news.

When they arrived at Qi Zhen Palace, news soon came that Lang Kun and Lei Tiekeng went to a small inn on the outskirts of the capital to live, but they did not find that they had contact with Gao Youquan, and they did not hide Gao Youquan.

participated in the affairs of the court in the world, just to block Cheng Haofeng, and didn't he have a direct intersection with Gao Youquan? Fei is so vigorous and loses so many subordinates, just to make trouble for Cheng Haofeng?

Cheng Haofeng couldn't guess why they came, so people continued to keep an eye on them.

After a while, the news came again that Duan Mengrou sent a few little Taoist children to help arrest Gao Youquan, and also entered the palace to ask the emperor for guilt, complaining that she never deliberately let Gao Youquan go.

Han Zexi didn't want to believe that Gao Youquan was so bad, no one was willing to admit that he looked at the wrong person, wouldn't that seem stupid?

There are always many people who would rather deceive themselves than admit their weaknesses in front of others, not to mention that Cheng Haofeng's merits and prestige are still not low, and he is unwilling to show his weaknesses.

Therefore, he would not delve into Duan Mengrou's matter at all, let alone blame it.

The people who probed the news came to report one after another, and no one related to Gao Youquan contacted him, and Gao Youquan disappeared as if out of thin air.

After looking for a day and no progress, Cheng Haofeng was not as anxious as before, because the people related to Gao Youquan did not take any action, that is, there was no sign of Gao Youquan fleeing far away, so Gao Youquan was still around the capital, but he couldn't find it for the time being.

Cheng Haofeng meditated and breathed, and only after the aura was fully restored did he come out, his body and mind were able to rest, and his state returned to the peak, and he sensed the breath of Gao Youquan again, but he still didn't feel it.

He and Cao Beidao were both unhappy, and Cao Qingcheng made delicious food and invited them to eat, but they ignored it.

In the afternoon, Cao Qingcheng was in a daze in the courtyard, and Xiaodao Tong told him that Dang Ben'an had visited.

Cao Qingcheng led him outside the hall, but Cheng Haofeng and Cao Beidao did not greet him, but only greeted him separately, and buried their heads in the files related to Gao Youquan.

Dang Ben'an smiled and asked the two to combine work and rest, take turns to rest, and asked Cheng Haofeng to take a walk outside the hall to relax.

Cheng Haofeng felt that he had something to say, so he went, and Cao Beidao was full of pretending to check the evidence, and he didn't pay attention to the two.

In the backyard, Dang Ben'an asked Cheng Haofeng to find a secluded place to talk about.

Cheng Haofeng waved his hand and popped out the aura mask, so that he could say that he had something to say.

"Venerable Lord, do you remember playing a dark chess game next to Gao Youquan?" Dang Ben'an changed his usual humble attitude and said in a serious questioning tone.

Cheng Haofeng glanced at him a little blankly, and asked uncertainly: "Are you referring to the matter that once asked you to be more guarded against Gao Youquan and propose to be a secret agent by his side?" ”

Dang Ben'an nodded in approval, Cheng Haofeng secretly instructed how to deal with Gao Youquan when he left the court, and it was difficult to persuade Han Zexi to wake up, at least find a way to ensure Han Zexi's safety.

Dang Ben'an did it according to the proposal, but Gao Youquan didn't expect that the honest eunuch Dang Ben'an would be placed by his side, and he had been suppressed to death in the palace, so there was no need to guard against it, right? Therefore, when I removed suspicious people from my side many times, I did not eliminate people related to the party's original security at all.

That undercover agent provided a lot of useful information, and when Gao Youquan was fighting for power, the party could retreat to a just right position, avoiding its edge and not losing too many benefits.

They were still waiting for Cheng Haofeng to come up with a better plan and bring down Gao Youquan as soon as possible, but Cheng Haofeng's affairs became less and less, and they couldn't do anything big when they completely put this matter to the back of their minds.

Although he couldn't make a big move, and the situation was still dangerous, the spy still insisted on it for several years, just to help punish the evil and help the faith.

Someone is silently fighting for their casual advice? Cheng Haofeng was shocked in his heart, people who only do things for faith are too respectable. Compared to him, he also seems too weak, because he has to care about gains and losses.

"Who is this secret hero?"

Dang Ben'an replied with respect in his eyes: "It is a little guard of the Golden Dragon Guard, and later the emperor selected Gao Youquan as a guard, and he took the initiative to ask to follow Gao Youquan." His surname is Wu, and his name is Yichun. Wu Yichun is a strong man, because he is not conspicuous, Gao Youquan never pays attention to him. ”

"This is very good, after solving Gao Youquan, I will give him a rich reward." Cheng Haofeng said this, and instructed Wu Yichun not to reveal his identity first, Gao Youquan has not been destroyed.

After Dang Benan said that he would obey the arrangement, he said that Wu Yichun had found some evidence, which was the main purpose of coming to Cheng Haofeng.

Wu Yichun found a book of accounts with Gao Youquan, in which there are three records that can be counted as evidence of guilt, first, the property to be handed over was not handed over, and some of Lu Huanbang's gold, silver and jewelry were intercepted;

Second, Gao Youquan usually accepts bribes and does not keep accounts, but he leaves a record. Usually after he has gained benefits, he helps the bribe giver get rid of the good people. But the person who paid the bribe only gave a deposit, and the subsequent money could not be given, and Gao Youquan also killed the bribe-giver.

Because he told him about it, the others did not dare to fool him anymore, and as he spoke, he asked the clerk to write it down, even though the handwriting was sloppy, it was still legible.

Third, Gao Youquan used the filial piety of the emperor's biological mother on behalf of the emperor, and got a lot of benefits, but he did not really respect his mother-in-law, there is an article in the account book that before coming to Beijing, the purchase and sale of all kinds of items must be done by Gao Youquan, and Gao Youquan has a lot of shoddy things, which is to make the mother-in-law happy, as long as the master does not investigate, the maids do not dare to say more.

In addition to these, Wu Yichun also found out that there was a secret room in the mansion that could not be opened, and suspected that the secret room had happened or was being spurned by others!

After getting these news, Cheng Haofeng asked Dang Ben'an to leave quietly first, to contact the secret agent, and then said a few innocuous words to Cao Beidao, and then went out and asked Zhuo Que Village to arrange for them to search the mansion again.

During the search, Cheng Haofeng intentionally or unintentionally observed the guards who were temporarily under house arrest, and saw that a tall guard had the meaning of what he wanted to say, so he walked over and asked him: "You were originally Jin Longwei, because you heard that your father-in-law said that you can be promoted to an official and make a fortune by following Gao Youquan, so you took the initiative to follow Gao Youquan?" ”

"Yes, yes, I came to be a guard after listening to the party's father-in-law. Although Jin Longwei is a noble guard who guards the emperor, I want to go back to my hometown, and I am short of money, there are too many excellent people in Jin Longwei, I am afraid that the goal of saving money to return to my hometown will never be achieved, so I come to follow the high mansion with the most salary for the guards. Blame me for being confused, but I haven't done anything harmful......"

If it weren't for the secret word, Cheng Haofeng wouldn't have thought that such a long-winded little guard was the secret agent Wu Yichun, no wonder Gao Youquan didn't find him.

After almost that, he began to beg Cheng Haofeng to intercede and let Zhuo Que Village let them go.

Cheng Haofeng smiled but didn't answer, and asked him to follow him to lead the way, wanting to take a few turns in the high mansion and check carefully.

After walking for a long time, Cheng Haofeng and Wu Yichun went outside the study, Wu Yichun glanced at the bookcase a few more times, Cheng Haofeng understood that it was where Gao Youquan's secret room was.

After instructing Wu Yichun to go away first, Cheng Haofeng found the bookcase and secretly latticed, but he couldn't open the door of the secret room.

I was able to determine that there was a secret room behind it, but I couldn't open it in several ways, and then I used the aura to twist the bulges that might be mechanisms, and suddenly a dark hole opened in the wall.

Cheng Haofeng and the people who came to search suddenly realized that they had to be lucky to open it, so that many ordinary people who found the mechanism knew that they couldn't open it, and it invisibly reduced the number of people who broke the secret room.

The secret room suddenly opened, and they walked down the dark hole, and it didn't take long for everyone to stop and squint.

It's so dazzling, especially when the eyes are just adjusting to the darkness and suddenly seeing a bright golden light, everything in front of them is even more dazzling.

When they arrived at the underground gold prison set up by Gao Youquan, they saw those torture instruments inlaid with gold and jade, as well as those old people who were tortured to the point of being inhuman.

Cheng Haofeng was the first to recover from the shock, and asked people to ask Han Zexi to see, this is all human and material evidence, supplemented by those smaller evidence, how can Gao Youquan be excused?

Soon, Han Zexi arrived, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After being silent for a long time, he sent someone to take the old people out and ask a doctor for treatment.

Cheng Haofeng said that he couldn't take those people out, because they were all seriously injured, and they were old and sick, and they all relied on high and full fumigation drugs to hang their lives, so they still had a breath of air, and if they got out of here, they would die quickly.

Everyone only noticed the fishy sweet smell here, but unlike the smell of blood and rancidity, it turned out to be a medicine that hanged people.

Gao Youquan tortured them, and he wanted to hang their lives with drugs, so that he could torture them for a longer time? Thinking of this, in this magnificent underground golden prison, there is even more gloomy resentment.

"No, I'm going out...... I'm going out and telling others that Xiao Quan'er is not human......"

"Yes, I'm going out too...... Xiao Quan'er is a madman, a lunatic with no humanity......"

"People like him can still soar...... Heaven is unfair...... I'm going out too......"

The old people would rather go out and live only a few days than stay in the underground gold prison anymore, the medicine here can make them live longer, but life is better than death than death.

They want to testify in court, so that Gao Youquan can be punished and die without regrets!

Han Zexi was completely convinced, he fully supported the trial, and the case was closed quickly, and the people applauded.

But he tried his best to arrest Gao Youquan, but he still found nothing, and even Cheng Haofeng couldn't detect Gao Youquan's breath.

The old people have passed away one after another, and Cheng Haofeng felt guilty for not letting them see Gao Youquan being arrested.

The feeling of guilt made him confused and frustrated, he pushed Han Zexi to the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme at the beginning, but neither he nor Han Zexi could take the responsibility of governing the country and protecting the people, did they do it right or wrong?

He does not resent some accusations, he knows that many of his choices are selfish choices, such as being a national teacher is not to protect the country and the people, but to obtain resources by relying on national strength.

When he was thinking wildly, his palm suddenly burned, it was Wu Yichun who passed on new news!
