Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 570 Staring at Zhou Changzai

Zhang Qing reported the latest progress in the harem in a low voice.

"At Concubine Zhen's place, the slave has already done as the Lord ordered, and we can do things when the time is right."

"En." The emperor replied lightly, he had expected Concubine Zhen's choice.

At the end of Zhang Qing's report, he said: "There is another matter. Someone sent a message outside the palace. When the slave wanted to be followed by others, the slave who delivered the message came to the lake. For some reason, he stepped on the ground and slipped into the lake to drown. If you are dead, you can’t find out who the message was sent to, the slave is incompetent.”

Now that the entire imperial palace is under control, if the news is spread outside the palace, it can only be the news that Long Live Lord wants to spread, but it is unexpected that there will be fish that slip through the net.

How he found out, how things happened, and how the results were explained one by one, focusing on the last scene by the lake.

The servant obviously went to the lake for a purpose, and the place he went to was remote. It seemed that the matter was done and he was going to report it as agreed.

Therefore, no one was caught on the spot, for fear of being discovered, his people only followed far behind, and it was too late when he slipped into the lake. He drowned, and when someone was called to pick it up, he was completely dead.

He was afraid that Xue Ping had slipped through the net. If he was alerted, the Long Live God's arrangement would fall by the wayside.

The emperor thought for a moment.

Even if the news is passed on outside, the only thing that can be passed on is the situation in the palace. The Canglan Courtyard is surrounded by iron barrels, and no one knows the real situation inside, so it cannot be leaked. He arranges people to release all the news outside.

This method was obviously planned in advance. The location by the lake was deliberately arranged to kill people. The person behind the lake had never thought of showing up. That slave was killed.

The emperor asked, "Is there anything unusual by that lake?"

Zhang Qing was not sure: "The servant went to have a look in person. If there is something unusual, it is that the land where the accident happened is very muddy, and the slip mark that slipped into the lake is somewhat reflective, as if..."

"It's like pouring oil!" A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he was immediately enlightened.

When I saw it at the time, I thought it was because the mud was too wet, and the slip marks were smooth to reflect the light. Now that I think about it, it was wrong, the reflective luster was too strong.

He bowed and said, "I'm going to check now, my servant, to see which palace has recently received oil and went to the lake."

"I'm afraid nothing can be found out." The emperor said lightly: "You send someone to watch Zhou Changzai and record her every move."

The ins and outs of the matter are already clear, and it is certain that it is not Xue Ping.

The most important nail that Xue Ping buried in the palace has been taken down, and this time the matter is fully operated by that person.

Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, Xue Ping's people who were buried in the palace were almost all caught, and many things were dug up, including the news delivered by what means.

In addition to Xue Ping's people, there has always been a group of people hiding in the dark in the palace. Don't forget, the people behind the worm incident have never appeared.

"Yes..." Zhang Qing answered with a bow.

After thinking about it for a while, he figured out why he couldn't find anything according to the way he just thought. The people behind it are thoughtful and will not leave such obvious flaws. The splashed oil can be replaced by leftover oil from the meal. The remote place can be arranged a long time in advance, and it is difficult to find people.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out, why should he stare at Zhou Changzai?
At this moment, a billowing black shadow came over in the distance, setting off a gust of wind.

The emperor and Zhang Qing looked together, and it was Hu Miaomiao who had arrived.

At this time, in the Guo Mansion, there was a place where the lights were still on.

There was a person with a disturbed expression, who was reading the letter under the night light. This person was Guo Neng.

He also got the message.

After reading Guo Shunlai's letter, he was shocked and frightened.

Surprisingly, he didn't expect that the dead soldiers sent south this time to silence them failed, they failed to silence all those people, and the key insider, the Patriarch of the He family, was rescued.

What is frightening is that I ran into the well-trained men in black from Yanqing Mansion back then. They all had extraordinary skills and killed many dead men. Now the men in black are about to escort the Patriarch of the He family and the only son of the He family to Beijing. , if he really enters Beijing, his Guo family will be finished!
He was not having a good time these days, being played around by a group of cunning gangsters made him furious, but he could only wait for the opportunity, the gangsters were very slippery and difficult to deal with.

At the same time, he was worried that his wife and children who had been sent away would be discovered. Fortunately, Guo Shun lived up to everyone's expectations, and the matter went smoothly, and he moved them to a hidden place.

After this matter was done, he was just relieved, but he woke up in a dream, his eyelids twitched, and his heart was filled with strong unease, so he ordered Guo Shun to set off early in the morning and take care of the affairs in the south.

But he didn't expect that the group of useless things in the first place had such a big mistake in what they did, and the key people were about to be escorted to Beijing.

Fortunately, Guo Shun was so experienced in handling affairs that he won his heart, and he went there in time. After reuniting with the people from the south, he acted decisively and severely injured the man in black.

The letter told that those men in black were all highly skilled in martial arts and cooperated well with each other, and reminded him that the origins of these people might not be simple.

Guo Shunxin explained that the matter was urgent, he took action on his own initiative, and made a deadly enmity with the men in black, so he should not be offended, and said that since he had taken action, he would not be able to survive. Although those men in black were great, there were not many of them. After being severely injured, he couldn't hold on for long, and he was sure to kill them all before they arrived in Beijing.

Even if he didn't remind him, Guo Neng could feel something faintly. He had already guessed countless times about the origin of these men in black. If he had a choice, he would never want to fight against those people in his life.

But he had no choice. Now that things had happened, there was no way out. The only way to save the Guo family was to kill all those men in black, the Patriarch of the He family and others, and completely destroy the corpses and traces.

Not only would he not blame Guo Shun for this matter, but he also had to reward Guo Shun greatly.

Now that the situation in Beijing is rising, his uncle Xue Ping is setting up a big game. If he can defeat the Xu family, his uncle's reputation in the court will definitely rise, and he may return to the top. By then, he will have an extra layer amulet.

He lost so many dead men, and he didn't care about his heartache anymore. These dead men were raised with a lot of manpower and a huge price, and the Guo family was rich enough to raise them. It takes years to raise them, and one dies and one less, which is extremely distressing.

Now, it's not the time to be distressed. If the Guo family is gone, these dead men will be useless.

Guo Neng sent out the rest of the dead except for keeping two close guards to protect him. He was bound to kill the man in black and the Patriarch of the He family on the way.

As for those gangsters...

He showed a bloodthirsty sneer, a group of mobs didn't need dead soldiers, but guards were enough.
