Her face tightened, and Shen Jiaojiao immediately dodged sideways.

The moment the thing crossed in front of her, Shen Jiaojiao found that the black shadow turned out to be a paper bag.

There was a soft bang, the paper bag fell to the ground, Shen Jiaojiao didn't have time to check, and hurriedly flew out of the window to chase the figure hiding in the dark.

But it was a step too late, and by the time she chased it out, the black shadow had disappeared into the night sky.

Looking at the empty night, Shen Jiaojiao stood quietly for a while, and then returned to the palace.

Picking up the paper bag on the ground, Shen Jiaojiao found that the paper bag turned out to be an account book and a few letters, as well as the handles of the major officials who were invisible.

In this ledger, all the records of the flies and dogs among the officials are clear.

After a glance, Shen Jiaojiao understood that the owner of this account book seemed to belong to Hua Zaimian.

When Hua Zaimian died, Ji Chongdao also sent someone to raid the house, and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry were copied, but there was no shadow of the account book.

At first, Shen Jiaojiao thought that this account book might have been hidden by Ji Chongdao.

After all, Hua Zaimian is dead, and he himself is not lightly ill, and major national affairs still need to be dealt with by hundreds of officials, so he can't be too stiff with hundreds of officials for the time being......

But now it seems that this account book was cut off at the beginning, and it never reached Ji Chongdao's hands at all.

After putting away the account book, Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the letters again.

Most of the letters are related to rebellion.

Thinking that Hua Zaimian kept this thing, it was also to contain the officials, so that those officials would be willing to serve him.

packed up everything, and the next day, Shen Jiaojiao left Guo Zhang.

Guo Zhang didn't understand what was going on, he stood with his head down, his brain thinking frantically, whether he had any handle in Shen Jiaojiao's hands.

Could it be the mung bean eye......

Guo Zhang felt a little uneasy in his heart, but at the same time, he felt that it was unlikely.

The identity of Mung Bean Eye can't be compared to him, even if he is not powerful, how can he find out about him?

Besides, Mung Bean Eye is already dead, and the dead can't speak, so what's so terrible about him?

Thinking of this, Guo Zhang straightened his waist, and even took the initiative to speak, "I don't know what happened to Your Majesty?" ”

"Master Guo, you are old, but you are still busy with government affairs, it is really hard."

Hearing Shen Jiaojiao's words, Guo Zhang's eyes rolled, and he didn't understand what Shen Jiaojiao meant.

Peeking at the faint smile on Shen Jiaojiao's face, suddenly, Guo Zhang had a bold idea.

Shen Jiaojiao is currying favor with him!

Thinking of this possibility, Guo Zhang sneered.

It seems that the little girl knows that she can't do it, knows that she is incapable, and wants to hug his thigh and pull him over.

It's really naïve.

Let's fool her for a while, gain her trust first, and then ......

Thinking of this, Guo Zhangzheng looked at Shen Jiaojiao awe-inspiringly, "How can it be hard to do things for Dawu, for Your Majesty, and for the people?" ”

"Although the minister is old, he is old and ambitious, and he will definitely try his best to assist His Majesty in ......the future."

Interrupting Guo Zhang's generous statement, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile, "Guo Aiqing said it very well. ”

"It just so happens that there is one thing that Guo Aiqing needs to contribute."

“…… What's the matter? ”

Hearing that Shen Jiaojiao finally revealed her purpose, Guo Zhang was curious, but also faintly uneasy.

"Guo Aiqing, let's go home." Shen Jiaojiao's words made Guo Zhang unexpected.

He looked at Shen Jiaojiao dumbfounded, "What? ”

"Guo Aiqing is old, let's say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown." Shen Jiaojiao unceremoniously said it again.

really understood what Shen Jiaojiao meant, Guo Zhang was simply angry.

He clenched his fists to hold back the anger in his heart, "Your Majesty, has the minister committed any great rebellion?" ”

"Your Majesty, as the emperor, you let the minister die, and the minister has to die. You asked the minister to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and the minister had to tell the old man to return to his hometown. ”

"But there has to be a reason for that, right? Otherwise, what's the difference between this and playing a joke, it's ...... since ancient times"

Unwilling to listen to Guo Zhang's tirade, Shen Jiaojiao threw a letter to him, "Guo Aiqing, this is your handwriting, right?" ”

"With the things on this letter alone, it's enough to raid the house and ask for beheading, right?"

"I let you return to your hometown by yourself, it is for the face of the Ten Princes, otherwise...... Hum! ”

Shen Jiaojiao snorted coldly, Guo Zhang's fingers trembled, and the letter in his hand fell.

This...... How could this thing be in her hands?

That old thing didn't burn that old thing at the beginning?!

didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly trembled and knelt down, "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!" ”

"Hmm."

Shen Jiaojiao's majestic gaze glanced at Guo Zhang, seeing Guo Zhang's trembling appearance at this time, and finally spoke, "For the sake of the face of the Ten Princes, I can not kill you." ”

"But ......"

Knowing the meaning of Shen Jiaojiao's words, Guo Zhang's expression was entangled.

He finally survived to this point, Ji Chongdao died, the three princes died, and Hua Zaimian died.

When it was finally his turn to sing on stage, how could he be willing to return to his hometown? !

Can...... But if he doesn't agree, what awaits him can only be a dead end.

Where there is life, there is hope!

Gritting his teeth, Guo Zhang put his head on the ground heavily, "The minister is old and in poor health, I hope Your Majesty will allow the minister to return to his hometown." ”

"Exactly."

……

"Dad, why did you suddenly resign and go back to your hometown?" Looking at the old father who came to say goodbye to her, Concubine Li was very puzzled.

"Grandpa, don't go." The Ten Princes were also very reluctant to Guo Zhang, "Even if you don't want to be an official, you can continue to stay in the Northern Capital, and you can see us from time to time." ”

Guo Zhang wanted to leave, but he had no choice.

But since there is nothing to be done, he can't fight Shen Jiaojiao, so he doesn't plan to tell the ins and outs of the matter.

If he didn't talk about this matter, his daughter and grandson could still live in peace, so why add so much distress to them?

"When you're old, the fallen leaves return to your roots." Guo Zhang casually found a reason and left the palace in a hurry.

When I returned home, the Guo Mansion, where people used to come and go, is now full of people.

Guo Zhang asked his subordinates to leave, and sat alone in the study, from day to night.

How many days and nights he had spent in this study, and now, everything was gone.

After packing up his things in the past two days, he also rolled up and left......

"Why is Lord Guo upset?" Just when Guo Zhang was concerned, suddenly, a man in black rushed in through the window.

The man in black looked extremely ordinary, so ordinary that he couldn't even recognize it in the crowd.

But his temperament is extremely cold, and his eyes seem to be wrapped in frost that does not melt all year round.

What he said made Guo Zhang even more incredulous, "Lord Guo, are you interested in usurping the throne?" ”
