Chapter 53: Guo Huan's Response

In the household, Guo Huan listened to the movement outside, and panicked in his heart.

Is Jinyiwei coming to arrest someone?

Although he has cut off the relationship, and promised Wang Wenlu and others that as long as they follow their instructions, they and their families will be safe and sound, and they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives, but they still have no bottom in their hearts.

He leaned on the chair, his legs and stomach trembled, and his palms were even more sweaty, and he was even ready to come in and arrest him.

After a long time, the noise outside the yamen became quieter and quieter, and finally disappeared in the distance, and he sat on the chair, and the heart that he had been carrying was relaxed, and he gasped for breath.

After calming down for a while, Guo Huan gradually recovered and cleared his throat:

"Someone!"

The official outside the door followed the sound and came in, hugged his fists and said, "What do you command?" ”

"Go and see, the brocade outside... Who was making a noise outside just now. ”

The official took the order to leave, and after a while, he rushed back to report: "My lord, the Jinyi guard came just now, but now he is gone again." ”

"Got it, stand down." Guo Huan waved his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

He comforted himself, "Jinyiwei has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, and the daily inspection is very reasonable, it's not a big deal, I don't need to be nervous." ”

Having said that, the hand holding the teacup still couldn't stop shaking, and he wanted to calm himself, but he couldn't do it at all.

What kind of character the emperor is, he knows very well, as long as his own things are shaken out, there is no possibility of survival.

He deeply understands that even if the emperor throws a mouse trap and does not dare to risk the instability of the country and execute all the officials, he, the household servant, will not be able to survive no matter what.

I can't sit still anymore, Li Qing's kid is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he even dares to do it, and he definitely doesn't care about me, a waiter...... Guo Huan's buttocks were not yet hot, and he stood up again.

Xin said: "Do you want to bribe him?" ”

As soon as the thought arose, he was snuffed out, "It doesn't work!"

Li Qing will definitely have a bright future in the future, and the emperor has made it clear that he wants to reuse him, how can he accept my bribes, and bribing him is tantamount to not confessing to himself.

Threaten him to embezzle and accept bribes, and take the Qing people and Oiran home under the pretense of raiding his home?

No, not to mention whether it's useful or not, once threatened, I'll be exposed.

Damn, how is this going to be? ”

Guo Huan's heart is in turmoil, how cool he was when he was greedy for money, how uncomfortable he is now, even more uncomfortable than when he was greedy for money.

Once the incident happens, let alone money, life has to be involved.

At this time, Liu Hua hurriedly came in, his face was full of panic, and he couldn't even bother to salute, "Lord Guo, it's not a good thing to ......."

"Be quiet." Guo Huan glared at him sharply, "Go to the inner study and say." ”

"Well, yes, yes."

When the two came to the study, Guo Huan drank the retired servants, closed the door, turned around and yelled, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone told you!"

"What?"

Guo Huan's face turned white, he almost rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Don't panic, my lord, that person didn't succeed, I found out in advance, and ordered my cronies to arrest him." Liu Hua hurriedly explained, and stepped forward to support him, for fear that he would pull over.

"What the fuck are you...... Won't you finish the sentence in one sitting? Guo Huan was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is that person?" ”

"Wailang, Zhang Qian."

"Is that him?" Guo Huan became even more angry when he heard this, "This damn day, I only gave him a large sum of money two months ago, and I actually dared to report Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu had to kill him." ”

Liu Hua hurriedly said, "My lord, now is not the time to vent his hatred, Jinyiwei is going back and forth in the Sixth Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other departments, and everyone is already a soldier."

If Zhang Qian doesn't report it today, Li Qian will also report it tomorrow, so we have to think of a way to do it quickly! ”

Guo Huan forced himself to calm down and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Liu Hua pondered for a moment, and said ruthlessly: "Let's just not do it." ”

As he spoke, he made a downward motion around his neck.

"Kill him?"

Guo Huan's eyes lit up, "Good idea, as long as Li Qing is dead, another person will investigate this case, there is no lawlessness without him, but ......

If it is found out, we will have another sin on our heads. ”

"Oh, my lord!" Liu Hua smiled bitterly, "Add this article or not, with the amount we are greedy, it is all to rob the family and exterminate the clan, why can't you understand it?" ”

Guo Huan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "You're right, but the problem is ...... Is anyone willing to do it?

Murdering the court officials is a big crime of punishing the nine clans, even if we are willing to give money, no one is willing to do it! ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials have a way!"

Liu Hua sneered: "Half a month ago, the tea tax of Jiangsu and Zhejiang entered Beijing, and among the tax collectors in charge of escorting, there were fellow villagers secretly promoted by the lower officials, and they haven't left yet, let them do it." ”

"How many are there?"

"Fifteen." Liu Hua said, "They are not from Jingshi, as long as they are given a large sum of money, they will definitely be willing to do it." ”

Guo Huan nodded, "I'll pay the money, is one thousand taels per person enough?" “

"Absolutely enough." Liu Hua said with a smile, "So much money is enough for ordinary people to spend for a lifetime, and they must be capable." ”

"Okay, you go and tell them to give two hundred taels first, and then eight hundred taels after the deed is done." Guo Huan patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Old Liu, we have no way out." ”

"Rest assured, adults will all know kung fu, and there will never be accidents." Liu Hua said, "However, since the emperor has decided to investigate, he will definitely not stop because he has died a Li Qing, what will I do later?" ”

Guo Huan smiled, "Li Qing is dead, and the backbone of this brocade guard is gone."

Next, the emperor will definitely track down the murderer first!

When he came back to his senses and wanted to continue to investigate, Mao Xiang and the others also arrived in Bashu, and the holy decree was sent to them to rush back, and the time wasted in the middle was enough for the official to arrange calmly. ”

"My lord."

Liu Hua put his mind at ease, "By the way, do you want to bring Master Shangshu in?" ”

"Of course he is indispensable."

Guo Huan sneered, "He is also greedy, but he is too timid, and what he does is a 'small business' that can't be put on the table, I have the evidence of his guilt in my hand, as long as I give some sweetness, he will stand with us." ”

"By the way, don't be idle, go and contact the officials in our camp who have gone to the central government to pay taxes, and tell them,

Keep your mouth shut for me, everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, and no one the fuck wants to be alone. ”

"Okay." Liu Hua nodded heavily, "My lord, ...... over there."

"After the news of Li Qing's death comes out, I will find a way to see if I can pull them in." Guo Huan sighed, "Li Qing's work is too lawless, and Xungui is also scared of him." ”

Liu Hua said incredulously, "This ...... Not really, right? ”

"You know what?"

Guo Huan didn't have a good breath and said, "Some time ago, Li Jinglong was a prostitute, just because he robbed a woman with Li Qing, and he was directly imprisoned in Zhao Prison. ”

"Huh? This ......," Liu Hua said in surprise, "Cao Guogong swallowed this breath? ”

"I don't know the specific details, but the result is that Cao Guogong is guilty of Jing pleading, but Li Qing is fine."

Guo Huan scolded: "This guy can't be treated with common sense at all, I even suspect it... He was the illegitimate son of the emperor. ”

Liu Hua was taken aback, "In other words, the prince we want to kill?" ”

"The nine clans are all fucking hooked, do you care if he is a prince or not?"

Guo Huan returned what Liu Hua persuaded him just now, "You hurry up and make arrangements, and let him see the king of Hades tonight." ”

"Yes, the next official will retire."

Guo Huan slowly sat back on the chair, his nervous mood gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Li Qing, Li Qing, I don't want to kill you either, but if you don't die, I have to die, so it's no wonder to me."

He secretly pondered for a while, and felt more and more that he could get through the difficult situation more and more.

The demeanor of Lord Shirou reappeared, and he walked out of the study with a relaxed face.

……

Evening.

Li Qing pushed the rice bowl, got up and went back to the room, and served Lao Zhu's family all day, but he was tired enough.

"Wanling, the three of them serve one of me, but I have to serve a large group alone, and I am not even as good as a maid."

He lay on the bed and was depressed for a while, sighed, picked up the medical book and read it.

Queen Ma's health is declining day by day, and the signs of the limit are becoming more and more obvious, and he must be prepared for emergencies.

It was late autumn now, and the daytime was getting less and less, and it didn't take long for it to get dark, Li Qing got up and lit a candle and continued to flip through the medical book.

After reading it for more than two hours in a row, the book was about to rot, and he still couldn't find a way to give Emperor Ma a life, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Is that all?

He didn't ask for much, he just hoped that Queen Ma could spend this year, but for now, ...... I'm afraid it won't work.

Li Qing was a little irritable, got up and put on his robe and walked out of the room.

There is no moon tonight, the night sky is as black as ink, and even the sparse stars are gone, which makes him even more depressed when he wants to see a night view to soothe his mood.

After a while, the wind rose in the small courtyard, and the cool autumn breeze blew very comfortably on the body, Li Qing enjoyed this feeling very much, and his restless mood gradually stabilized.

……

"Rustling ......"

Outside the courtyard wall, the sound of rustling quietly sounded......
