Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 561 Three Eagles with One Arrow

That's right, it's no wonder they didn't hear about such a big event this time. It turned out that Long Live Lord blocked the news and kept it a secret.

It's just that they don't know, so where did Zhao Zhong get it?
The clothes under Zhao Zhongguan's robe were already soaked, he collected himself, and remembered the words he had said before: "Yesterday, yesterday, my servant wanted to go to a restaurant for a drink, and I met a young man with a strange expression on his face, and he carried a bag, sneaking around Going to the pawn shop to pawn, the minister felt that something was wrong, so he secretly noticed it, but saw the young man carefully take out a few items from his arms, the minister recognized at a glance that they were imperial objects in the palace, and in shock, let someone take them down take away."

"Imperial affairs are lost among the people. I know this is unusual. I questioned him all night. Then I learned from the young man that the young sister is on duty in the palace. The place of duty is Lian Meiren, who is pregnant with the emperor's heir." Canglan Courtyard, these imperial items were brought out from the home of a young man entrusted by my sister in the palace to treat my father's illness."

The more he said, the smoother he said: "I thought it was the young sister who stole it. I looked carefully at the objects, but saw that one of them had the word "English" engraved on it. I was shocked and asked the young man. Instigated by the high-ranking concubine De in the palace, she was forced to poison Lianmei, and the dirt was obtained from Concubine Xu De. The elder sister knew that she would be silenced by Concubine De, so she told the young man about it, and told him that if there was no news, If it comes out, it means that it has already been obtained, let him get the money and take his family away from home to avoid disaster."

Finally, he firmly kowtowed: "Long Live Lord, I learned the news from this person. I didn't dare to hide anything when I learned about such a major event. I wrote the memorial overnight and participated in the memorial immediately in the morning." , this is one of the evidences, please learn from it.”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of jewelry inlaid with three kinds of gemstones from his bosom, and presented it upwards.

If the lotus was here, they would definitely recognize that these three gemstones were the same color as the three gemstone marbles that Concubine Xu De gave her, but the water head was not so good.

At a glance, Xu Hu knew that he was on the right track, and the person who came was already prepared.

Those three kinds of gemstones are rare in the world, and they were the gemstones he confiscated after winning the battle, but the jewelry definitely did not belong to his daughter!

Those pieces of precious stones were used to make marbles for his daughter to play with. This kind of leftover material is only suitable for his daughter to make shoe uppers, so how could it be made into jewelry.

This is blatant framing!

He was frightened and furious, and shouted: "You dog thief, how dare you frame my daughter!"

His fists were clenched tightly, his eyes locked on Zhao Zhong with murderous intent, he looked like he wanted to kill someone.

Zhao Zhong deserved to be the chosen one, far from being comparable to Wu Yushi back then, even though he was frightened, in the eyes of others, he was still as calm as before.

He sneered: "General Xu, do you still want to be like your daughter, killing people in front of Long Live Lord?"

Unable to contain his anger, Xu Hu punched the ground of the hall, creating a hole.

The people next to him were startled and moved away.

Zhao Zhong's expression didn't change, but his heart skipped a beat in fright. We all know that Xu Hu's military strength is high, dispatching troops, charging and killing the enemy is amazing, but he has never experienced it himself.

If that fist falls on him...

He suddenly didn't dare to think about it.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Someone suddenly asked, "Where is that boy?"

Zhao Zhong was stunned for a moment, not knowing where the sound came from, then he said sadly and angrily: "Dead."

"What? Dead?"

Wouldn't that be dead without proof!

Zhao Zhong nodded, and said in a mournful voice, "It's the lower officials who are incompetent. To tell you the truth, the lower officials are worried about having a lot of dreams in the night, and let the boy lead the way, and want to turn the boy's family away overnight, so as not to be murdered. Who would have thought that the lower officials would be late One step later, the boy's father died in bed, his mother hanged himself to death, and died seemingly naturally, but the house was rummaged through, the boy smashed into the wall and died on the spot in grief and indignation, and the whole family died in one day."

There were tears in his eyes, he wiped them, and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate can't intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment. I see that the boy's family is pitiful, and I really can't see it. Let the old servant at home collect the bones, and let the old servant go forward this morning." Go to Shuntian Mansion to open a government office to report the case, presumably Shuntian Mansion has accepted the case by now."

The emperor looked at the gesture in front of him with indifference, and said, "Break into the wall and die?"

Zhao Zhong lowered his head and said, "Yes..."

The emperor said blankly: "Zhao Aiqing has a heart of loyalty and patriotism."

I don't know why these words made Zhao Zhong's heart shudder, and he couldn't figure out what it meant.

He restrained his mind: "It is the duty of a minister to eat the king's salary and share the king's worries. It should not be praised by Long Live Lord."

The emperor didn't care about him anymore, and said to the two sides: "Come here, Xu Hu is disrespectful in front of the palace, and he is escorted back to the general's mansion immediately to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors."

Zhao Zhong was astonished. He risked his family and life, but this was the only result?

When he was about to say something, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person shaking his head and index finger slightly at him, and swallowed the words again.

The emperor then made several decrees in succession, ordering the forbidden army to surround the general's mansion and not to enter or leave at will.

At the same time concubine Xu De was grounded, and the punishment department was sent to thoroughly investigate the matter. If there is resistance, she will be killed.

After issuing the decree, Commander Han led Xu Hu away in court.

But the emperor strode away while the courtiers were in a daze.

After a group of courtiers reacted, they hula-la chased after the emperor.

Before approaching, Zhang Qing led people together with the imperial guards to stop him, and said with a smirk: "My lords, please go back, now the Lord Long Live is gone!"

A group of courtiers rushed to pass the word, wanting to see him.

No matter how you say it, Zhang Qingwen doesn't move, just keep saying that.

Xue Ping stopped to watch the group of people, like an expert who stayed out of the way.

Now all of this is in his calculations, if things go too smoothly, he will be uneasy instead.

He knew that the emperor was suspicious, and no one believed it, neither Zhao Zhong nor Xu Hu.

Don't look at the fact that the emperor only grounded Xu Hu's father and daughter. The so-called the bigger the matter, the calmer it is.

If the emperor believes in Xu Hu, then he can put on a show and put him in prison. There is no need to use the imperial army to surround the general's mansion, and it is also not allowed to enter and leave at will.

This is to reduce Xu Hu's vigilance, and at the same time prevent the general's mansion from causing chaos, and cut off Xu Hu's contact with the outside world.

The only way to mobilize the imperial army these days is to commit heinous crimes such as ransacking one's family and exterminating one's family.

In the harem, Concubine Xu De was only grounded, and this step was also to stabilize Xu Hu. Only the words "shoot and kill" filled her face with a turbulent killing intent.

All these showed that the emperor was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

For today's event, he prepared for a long time, and he did not hesitate to expose the nails that had been buried in the harem for many years. At the same time, he also let Zhao Zhong, the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, expose this important person to everyone.

This strategy, this is the strategy of killing three birds with one stone!
