The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1161 Escape Again
"If he is really involved, I will never let him go, and he must be severely punished. Our Dayan Dynasty will not tolerate traitors!" The crown prince frowned and said solemnly to Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu's face turned pale, it seems that the prince still has a sense of proportion.

"Zhang Shuo committed suicide in the prison. What about the guards in the prison? Why didn't Zhang Shuo be under strict supervision? Before the officials heard about it, Zhang Shuo seemed to be at a loss about this matter. Now that he entered the prison, he admitted his crime. , and also clarified for Mr. Shoufu that this turn of events cannot be called unpleasant."

If Zhang Shuo didn't know about it before, it must be too late to make arrangements.Someone must have passed the news to Zhang Shuo who was in Dali Temple, and this person was an enemy or not a friend of Zhang Shuo.

"The lower officials think that there is a spy in Dali Temple, and this person must have colluded with Daxing."

Gu Chengyu didn't directly say that it was the method of Xia Qing's envoy, and there is no direct evidence to point out that it was Xia Qing.

What he said would only make the crown prince think that he wanted to avenge himself publicly.

Because of his disharmony with Xia Qing, all the ministers in the court had heard about it.

The crown prince glanced at Gu Chengyu, then nodded, no matter whether Zhang Shuo was the mastermind of colluding with foreign countries or not, the person who delivered the news must have nothing to do with Daxing.

"This matter must be strictly investigated. This palace will hand over this matter to Mr. Kuang. Zhang Shuo committed suicide in Dali Temple. After all, it was his dereliction of duty. The relationship between you and Xia Shoufu is known in the court. This palace It is not suitable for you to handle it, and it is inevitable that someone in the court will intervene in your public affairs to avenge your personal revenge."

The prince picked the matter aside and said that it was not appropriate for Gu Chengyu to intervene in this matter, and he would not let Gu Chengyu intervene.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Because of the rumors, the lower official should avoid suspicion. In fact, there is no conflict between the lower official and Xia Shoufu, it is all rumors. Mr. Shoufu gave some pointers to the lower official before, but it was rumored as It is completely nonsense to see that the lower official is not pleasing to the eye, and to put the lower official to death."

Before Xia Qing attacked him, it was all secretly framed.No matter how you look at it, a low-level official and the first-rank chief assistant of the current dynasty cannot be matched.

It is even more impossible for the two to contact each other on weekdays, and most of their most direct conflicts come from Min Feng.Because he blocked Min Feng's way, Xia Qing naturally wanted to eradicate him to make way for his disciple.

Of course, fearing that he will grow up and eventually fight against him is also one of the factors.

In short, for the future of the disciple, for fear that Gu Chengyu would grow up and threaten his own status.

Xia Qing naturally wants to get rid of Gu Chengyu and then hurry up!
Although each of them knew what was in their hearts, Gu Chengyu was respectful when he saw Xia Qing on the bright side.Although Xia Qing liked to ignore Gu Chengyu's answers, he didn't embarrass him face to face.

After all, he is Mr. Shoufu, so if he can't get through it face to face, it would be a loss of grace.

Therefore, Gu Chengyu can tell nonsense with his eyes open for this kind of behind the scenes.

The prince was a little surprised, the hand that was holding the tea bowl paused for a moment.He twitched the corner of his mouth, anyway, Gu Chengyu's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, he has also experienced it before.

However, no matter how Gu Chengyu explained, it was impossible for him to hand over the interrogation of Xia Qing to Gu Chengyu.

"It's a national funeral these days, and this matter needs to be delayed. I have already sent Kuang Zhaoying to investigate this matter, hoping to get a result soon. However, what do you think about the assassin? I have already sent people Going to investigate the traces of these people, I think most of these people were sent by Daxing."

"I didn't expect the other party to break into so many people. What are those border guards doing?" Thinking of this, the prince was still a little angry.

Today he almost died in Huangquan. With so many imperial guards, these barbarians even let these barbarians break into the palace.

They have already dared to fight into the palace, so there must be many spies breaking in.

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he thought of his elder brother.Eldest brother is probably going to the border in these two days, but unfortunately the emperor passed away a few days after elder brother left, and I don't know when elder brother will be able to return to the capital.

"Your Highness, what happened to the rebellious Commander Zhou? Did you catch him?" Gu Chengyu felt that this person and the man in black should not be in the same group, but he didn't know who they were.

Speaking of this person, the prince's face suddenly turned ugly, "He escaped!"

Gu Chengyu was so speechless, didn't the general of the auxiliary country, He Chaoguang, say that this person would never run away?

"I had already captured this person, but who would have thought that reinforcements would come out of nowhere and rescue this person. Those people are highly skilled in martial arts, and they are by no means ordinary people."

The crown prince was also a little depressed. He had long heard that the Fuguo general was brave and good at fighting, but he was lacking in strategy.

When fighting a war, you are never timid in charge, but you are simple-minded and need advice from shrewd lieutenants and military advisers.

When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation.

"Can someone follow up?" Gu Chengyu was a little anxious, if he could find out where these people came from, then he would naturally know which way they were.

"I lost it!" The prince sighed helplessly again, and it was said that He Zhaoguang followed him in person.

In fact, he felt that if it was someone else, he might still have some clues.

Gu Chengyu sighed, he knew it.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Highness! The whole city is now under martial law, but the officials think that it is still necessary to strictly check every household around the imperial city. For example, Xicheng and Nancheng, those places are mixed with fish and dragons, and it is easy for criminals to mix in. Perhaps There will be gains."

"Do you suspect that those assassins will be hiding near the imperial city?" The prince also thought about it. After the assassination, he must retreat quickly. These people must have been hiding in the capital before.

Otherwise, why did these people get the news and break into the palace not long after the father died?

Perhaps they had been hiding not far from the palace before, so it would be easier to move.

Furthermore, before these people quickly retreated, the capital was already under martial law, but so far there has been no trace of the other party, maybe these people are still near the palace.

Thinking about it this way, the prince felt that he was still in danger.What if these people made a comeback again and were ready to catch him off guard?
"Yes! The officials of the soldiers and horses and the commanders and envoys have put the capital under martial law. Unless these people have the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, they can't get out of the imperial city. And there are a lot of these people. No matter how careful they are, they must There are clues to be found."

Gu Chengyu paused for a moment, but still didn't say the rest.I'm afraid it's not just these foreign assassins who came to the capital secretly, right?
Why did Zhou Yuancong rebel?Is it for himself?This is absolutely impossible.It is even less likely that they colluded with Daxing, because they had fought before.

However, it is impossible to accomplish anything only by commanding and envoys, and there must be someone behind it. This is just throwing stones to ask for directions.

The person behind is really a big hand, it seems that the capital is bound to set off a huge storm in the past few days!
"Then I will leave this matter to you!" the prince said suddenly.
