Before the early dynasty today, everyone noticed two things, the first was that General Chu Minggang was not there, and the second was that Gao Shangshu was not there.

It's too strange that these two people are not there at the same time.

Lin Changtian couldn't help but ask Lin Shuai: "Where did General Chu go?" ”

Lin Shuai shook his head, "I don't know anything about it. ”

This made him feel very confused, Zao Chao didn't listen to a word, and Zao Chao couldn't help but catch up with King Qi and wanted to ask him the ins and outs of this matter.

Hearing Lin Changtian calling him behind his back, Shen Yi stopped and said, "Is there something wrong with Young Marshal Lin?" ”

"Yes, I would like to ask Your Highness, do you know why General Chu Minggang did not go to court today?"

Shen Yi lowered his head and chuckled, "How would this king know that maybe General Chu has something to do today." ”

Lin Changtian was softly pushed back by him, and wanted to continue to ask, but Shen Yi had already left.

Lian Ying's eyebrows moved, this is a young marshal, but he just came to ask a question, where can he receive such a look.

Although King Qi was angry with him, drank too much and scolded Lin Changtian for a long time, it was just a trivial matter of children's affection.

Lian Ying arched his hand: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is not in a good mood, and he has offended a lot, so I hope that the young marshal is not strange." ”

"It's okay, I just want to ask His Highness if he knows where General Chu has gone." Lin Changtian was originally Ji Yue's mind, but he didn't care about it at all, and still smiled: "The Palace of Qi doesn't know, forget it, it's that I think too much." ”

Lian Ying smiled faintly and saluted Lin Changtian: "Young marshal, farewell." ”

However, as soon as he returned to the Qi Palace, Shen Yi had just received a cup of hot tea, and his lips were not wet, when he heard someone shouting: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, it's not good." ”

The soldiers rushed in, and didn't stop until they were in front of Shen Yi.

"What's the matter with a panic like this, is the sky falling?" Lian Ying reprimanded.

"Just now, the Lin family sent someone to report that Chu Minggang's family, the general of the main city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, was suddenly robbed on the way to his post."

Shen Yi got up from his seat and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Chu Ruojun?" ”

"Chu Minggang and his mother saved their lives, while their daughter Chu Ruojun fell into the water and died." His voice was anxious, but the words fell on Shen Yi's heart like a boulder, so heavy that it was difficult to breathe.

After the soldiers finished speaking, they raised their eyes to see Shen Yi's face.

Shen Yi's face suddenly turned gray, his body stiffened and fell to the chair, and the teacup in his hand slammed to the ground and shattered.

When Lin Changtian returned home, he heard Lin Shuai sigh: "How should I tell Changtian about this." ”

Lin Changtian heard that his voice was wrong, and kicked open the door, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

Even her maid was safe, only she fell overboard and died.

Lin Changtian slammed his fist on the table, and his eyes were almost bloody.

"The strangeness of this order is that almost no one in the DPRK knows about it." Lin Shuai's voice was very calm, "I have already told the emperor, and the emperor has no idea about this matter, it seems that this matter is the handiwork of the Queen Mother and Shao Guogong." ”

He paused, and his voice was as usual, "Chu Ruojun's body has not been found yet." ”

Lin Changtian said hatefully: "This group of beasts will shoot at a girl." ”

Lin Shuai looked at the green tendons that burst out of his hands, and knew that this young man, who had always been calm, was already angry to the extreme at this time: "I don't believe it, where are the bandits who have this ability, Gao Shangshu is not in the court today, it must be related to him, I will definitely find out for Chu Ruojun, what should be the crime of murdering important members of the court!" ”

Lin Shuai held the table with his hand and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid this matter is not so easy." ”

Lin Changtian raised his eyebrows, and before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a report from his own soldiers: "General Chu Minggang has returned to Changping City, and he will go directly to the palace to meet the Queen Mother." ”

Putting down his daughter's already cooled body, he got up and went back to the study to remove the sword hanging on the wall, and went straight to Ziru's room.

Hearing this news, those who should go and those who should not go entered the palace again.

The county lord of Nan'an snuggled up to the queen mother, and his eyes were cold and stared directly at the man who had just lost his daughter who had broken into here.

He smiled slightly, almost defiantly.

Mo said that the county lord of Nan'an, even the queen mother was a little frightened by his expression.

General Chu looked up at the Queen Mother, holding a small square wooden box in his hand, which looked clean and clean, "The old minister is here to ask for guilt, how to execute it, the Queen Mother will know at a glance." ”

"Bring it in."

The palace maid took the wooden box, only felt a little heavy, and was puzzled, but she still handed it to the queen mother safely, opened it, the queen mother was shocked, and there was no human color on her face, and the lord of Nan'an screamed non-stop.

Because what was contained in it was the head of Gao Shangshu cut off by General Chu himself.

The Queen Mother pointed at him, her voice trembling, "You..... What are you going to do to bring him to the house of mourners, what do you mean? ”

When General Chu looked up, a mournful cry overflowed, and he heard him say, "It's not interesting, it's just that he killed my daughter." ”

"This is a personal enmity between you and Gao Shangshu, and your daughter also killed Gao Shangshu's only son." The Queen Mother's face was pale, and her red lips looked even more oozing at this time.

"Who isn't," General Chu's eyes were bloodshot and he laughed angrily, "I won't have a second daughter." ”

The Queen Mother was at a loss, and only raised her head after a long time, "Your daughter is dead, and Gao Shangshu is also dead, even if one life is worth one life, and one Shangshu is worth the life of an official lady, it is worth it, how about you still mourn your family?" ”

General Chu smiled, a sarcastic and cold smile: "She is different from others......"

"Chu Minggang, what else do you want?!" Shao Guogong didn't know when to report, he was already standing beside the Queen Mother, glaring at him angrily.

When the Queen Mother saw him, she also felt a little more confident in her heart.

"The old minister wants to know, few people know about this order, why does that Gao Shangshu know." General Chu's face turned iron, "The old minister wants to know who is planning this matter, and the old minister also wants to know why Shangshu is linked to the forces of the rivers and lakes, and how to ask the scum of the rivers and lakes to assassinate the courtiers." ”

He wanted to know three times in a row, and the queen showed surprise when he said it, and the county lord of Nan'an was even more stunned.

The Empress Dowager said that the transfer of General Chu Minggang's family from Changping City and garrisoning the frontier was a discussion between herself and her father to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and to put Chu Ruojun to death.

Her martial arts skills are not bad, and it is a well-known thing in Changping City, and on land, she may not be able to get benefits, and it is easy to attract the attention of officers and soldiers.

But she has a shortcoming, she doesn't know the nature of water, so she temporarily changed the documents and transferred General Chu Minggang to serve in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, even if she has a big life and is not assassinated, as long as she falls into the water, there is a chance that she will not survive.

The early spring in Changping City is still cold, and as soon as you fall into the water, you will immediately freeze so much that your hands and feet cramp, and you don't even have the strength to flutter.

There was a moment of calm in the hall, and the eunuch outside the hall suddenly reported: "Queen Mother, Lin Shuai and Lin Shaoshuai ask to meet." ”

The Queen Mother was dealing with this incident that made her not know what to do, did the two of them come to block themselves, waved her hand and said, "I don't see." ”

The eunuch bowed and retreated, and after a while, he reappeared, and said: "Queen Mother, Young Marshal Lin has a question that the servant asked on his behalf, and he said that why Shao Guogong could enter without being informed, but he and his father were turned away, please ask the Queen Mother to answer." ”

The eunuch said, the sweat on his forehead was about to drip down.

When General Chu heard this, he smiled, "It turns out that the Empress Dowager reuses Shao Guogong, a pillar of the imperial court, so much so that she is even exempted from reporting." ”

There was a strange smile on his face, a pair, Lao Tzu was in this position, relying on a head, scars, and meritorious deeds, and you Shao Guogong is just the elder brother of the Queen Mother, and he has never even been on the battlefield, what kind of Guogong can he be called.

When the Queen Mother was just a concubine, you didn't even have a chance to go to court.

The queen mother's face was tense, Shao Guogong's face was complicated, and his face was not very good-looking.

After a long silence that was almost suffocating, the Queen Mother slowly raised her arms and said to the eunuchs who came over, "Please come in." ”

"When did you ask to see the mourners?" The Queen Mother was very tired from this question, and when she saw them, she suddenly felt a headache.

Lin Changtian's face was obviously haggard, "Weichen heard that the Empress Dowager was in a hurry to transfer General Chu out of Beijing, but she didn't even know about the ministers of the court, the ministers of the court, and even the emperor didn't know, so she came here to learn about the ins and outs of the matter." ”

The Queen Mother's face turned pale, and she glanced up at Shao Guogong, who was all done by Shao Guogong at this time, and the mourning family did not know.

It's like a joke to say it.

This pot, this culprit, can only be himself.

"The mourning family didn't expect that General Chu would be retaliated against by Gao Shangshu on the way to his post, at this time, it is strange, so I will hand it over to Lin Changtian to investigate in person, how about it?" The Queen Mother held her forehead, and her voice dragged on for a long time.

"Commandment." Lin Changtian said: "Then, General Chu was urgently transferred out of Beijing and went to Hangzhou to take up a post......

"That's it." The Queen Mother waved her hand, "General Chu lost his beloved daughter, and the mourning family will demote you again at this time, I can't bear it, so the official will be reinstated." ”

After she finished speaking, she swept Chu Minggang with her eyes, wanting to see his reaction.

At this time, he was still kneeling in the hall expressionlessly, although he was kneeling, but his outstanding demeanor and killing aura all over his body, no one in the hall could suppress it.

Of the three people in the palace, which one is not arrogant, I am afraid that this time, the mourning family will lose to the emperor.

None of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were like mirrors in their hearts, but they didn't say it, but once they said it at the same time, it would inevitably cause a big storm.

"If you're tired, let's step down."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes tiredly, and leaned back weakly.

Chu Minggang took the wooden box and quietly retreated with the Lin family.

Not long after they left, the county lord of Nan'an asked, "Queen Mother, why do you want Lin Changtian to investigate this matter, he will definitely be unfavorable to us." ”

"You don't know the establishment of the army, and the military ranks can be divided into marshal, general, colonel, captain, captain, captain, and soldier." The Queen Mother paused, took a sip of tea, "From the rank of lieutenant to the rank of officer, you can have your own entourage." ”

"Just a city general, there can be more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, although Lin Changtian is a young marshal, he is given the rank of marshal, you see that they are just three people, two marshals, one general, just like hundreds of thousands of troops in front of the mourning family, the mourning family can't help their meaning, what can they do."

The Queen Mother's eyebrows twitched faintly, and she suddenly remembered that a long time ago, the Chu family was also two generals, and at that time, if the two families were married, what a terrible thing it would be.

"Besides, anyway, the Chu family is dead, Lin Changtian is just to vent the anger in his heart, he can't help the mourning family, and he can't help you." The Queen Mother gently patted the face of the county lord of Nan'an, "Don't worry, you will be fine, instead of worrying about these haves and not, it is better to take advantage of this time to soothe and soothe King Qi's injured heart." ”

The county lord of Nan'an pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, I know." ”
