After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 35
The next day, Gu Hengyu did not go to Dali Temple first, but advanced to the palace.

"What? There is such a thing!" In the imperial study, the emperor sat on it, and after listening to Gu Hengyu's report, he threw down the memorial in his hand and asked.

Gu Hengyu bowed his head and replied: "Every sentence reported by the minister is true and there is absolutely no falsehood. Please look into it clearly."

The emperor looked at Gu Hengyu in front of him, because he had always felt guilty for him, lowered his voice, and said to him: "Sun Shilang is not low in rank, if this matter is verified, there will be a big change in the court, and all parties will It is really difficult for me to make a decision for this seat."

Gu Hengyu didn't look at the emperor, but still lowered his head, waiting for the emperor to finish speaking.

"Ahem, Hengyu, it's time for you to become an official, and you don't have to be embarrassed by the grievances of the previous generation." The emperor said earnestly, seeing that Gu Hengyu still remained silent, he continued to persuade: "As long as you promise me Think about the matter of entering the court, and I will immediately order a strict investigation of this matter."

"Okay." Gu Hengyu raised his head and agreed.

The emperor thought he heard it wrong, so he stepped down from his seat, took Gu Hengyu's arm, and asked, "What did you say? Say it again, you promised me?"

Gu Hengyu pulled the emperor's hand off his arm, then nodded to him.

The emperor smiled happily, and immediately said to Gu Hengyu: "I'm going to order a strict investigation into this matter, and it's up to you to investigate."

Gu Hengyu was noncommittal.

At the gate of the Sun Mansion, Sun Shilang brought the family members of the mansion out to receive the order, knelt on the ground and lowered his head, with a guilty conscience on his face.

"By God's blessing, Emperor Zhao said: It is rumored that Sun Tong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, violated official morality. This is a serious matter. I feel very cold. I have specially sent Gu Hengyu, the son of the Marquis of Yong'an, to find out the truth. If there is such a thing, once it is verified, immediately Let it go, this is it."

Eunuch Li, the confidant eunuch next to the emperor, finished reading, and said in a sharp voice that only belonged to eunuchs, "Sun Shilang, accept the order."

Sun Shilang knelt on the ground, his eyes became dull, he kowtowed and said, "I accept the order."

Eunuch Li completed the task of conveying the decree, looked at Gu Hengyu behind him, and said respectfully: "Master Gu, the emperor specially told you that if you need it, take this official who can be transferred to the government at any time." The jade card was given to him, seeing the jade card is like seeing the emperor, which shows the emperor's appreciation for Gu Hengyu.

Gu Hengyu took it and nodded, "Please thank the emperor for me, my father-in-law."

Eunuch Li has been with the emperor for so long, so he naturally knows the emperor's love and appreciation for Gu Hengyu, and he is very willing to do things for Gu Hengyu, so he agreed with a smile.

After Eunuch Li left, Sun Shilang stood up and said to Gu Hengyu, "You were the person last night, right?"

Gu Hengyu looked at him without retorting.

"You and I don't mess with each other, why on earth are you holding on to this matter?" Sun Shilang said while staring at Gu Hengyu's indifferent face.

When Gu Hengyu heard this, he said, "Don't mention that you have opened a private gambling shop in the city in recent years and resold the land. Just because you have done things that are against human ethics, imprisoned girls, killed innocent people, and tried to push this matter away. When it comes to party struggles, causing turmoil in the court, and disappointing the emperor's admiration for you, which one has wronged you Sun Shilang?"

Sun Shilang's face turned pale, his eyes dimmed, and he said to Gu Hengyu, "I admit everything else, but you say I'm trying to push this matter to the party, then you show evidence."

Gu Hengyu just looked at Sun Shilang and didn't speak.

Sun Shilang knew that this matter was done in a secret way, even if Gu Hengyu had doubts, he couldn't find the evidence for a while, and besides, he had something to do with that person, it was impossible for that person not to come to rescue him, so he became more certain in his heart, A sinister smile appeared on his face: "Master Gu, you don't just rely on your mouth to do things. I can't die, and no one can kill me."

Gu Hengyu was not provoked by him, and with a calm face, he said to Sun Shilang, "If you have anything to say, go to the prison and talk." Then he motioned for someone to take Sun Shilang down and take him away.

Gu Hengyu knew in his heart that the evidence for other things had already been found, except for the fact that there was no definite evidence for the faction involved, but if Sun Shilang hadn't been protected by a more powerful person behind him, this matter could not have been covered up in front of everyone. good.

Thinking of Xie Chen saying yesterday that he would tell her if there was any progress in the matter, Gu Hengyu ordered, "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

In the prime minister's mansion, Xie Chen was still preparing for Xie Han's birthday banquet tomorrow, when Yinhuan hurried in to report: "Miss, miss, Master Gu is here."

"Gu Hengyu? Where is it?" Xie Chen asked Yinhuan.

"Master Gu said that you left something at his place yesterday, and you brought it back today, and he is waiting for you in the back garden right now." Yinhuan replied.

After listening, Xie Chen put down his work and walked towards the back garden.

"What did I leave with you?" Seeing Gu Hengyu's back turned to his figure, Xie Chen asked.

After hearing the voice of thanking Chen from behind, Gu Hengyu turned around, looked at her and said, "It's just a cover to come to you in an open and honest way."

Xie Chen naturally knew it. She just teased Gu Hengyu just now, and after hearing Gu Hengyu's answer, she asked, "What's the matter? Is there any progress in the matter of the Sun Mansion?"

Gu Hengyu told Xie Chen exactly what he found when he took someone to Sun's residence last night. Xie Chen heard that Sun Shilang imprisoned girls because of his special hobby, and forced Sun Siyan to be with him in the name of father and daughter. He felt a chill in his heart when he did something wrong, and said, "Even if such a beast is cut into pieces, it deserves it. Have you reported it to the authorities today?"

Gu Hengyu shook his head, before Xie Chen could ask, he said, "I'm entering the palace."

Xie Chen was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why are you entering the palace?"

"Before Sun Shilang was protected by someone, the power behind it can be seen. This matter involved a lot. Even if it was reported to the officials, no one dared to investigate. I went to the palace to seek orders, and the emperor gave me full authority to handle this matter." Gu Hengyu explained.

After listening to Gu Hengyu's explanation, Xie Chen understood the reason, "There must be someone behind Sun Shilang, otherwise he would not be able to cover up this matter by himself, but who is the person behind him?"

Yan Zhaoguo has always respected his descendants and elders. Yan Qing'an was born of the empress, and was established as a crown prince at birth. Although the emperor did not have many children, there were still three princes Yan Yichen, fifth prince Yan Yiran, and sixth prince Yan Yichen. The three princes of Yiyang, on the surface, are brothers and sisters respectful, but they secretly covet the position of prince, especially the fifth prince, Yan Yiran, who is not like Yan Yichen. The daughter of Fu, a very famous old lady in the current dynasty, plays an important role in the court, and her own ability is also outstanding. In recent years, her desire to win the heir apparent has become more and more obvious.

These several princes may be the people behind Sun Shilang, but in the eyes of everyone, the fifth prince is the most likely. After all, he is the most promising candidate to compete with the prince. It was very close again.

Gu Hengyu also checked the contacts between the fifth prince and Sun Shilang. Except for Sun Shilang's private gambling house in the capital, which was related to him, he couldn't find any contact with other things. I don't know whether they were too cautious or their own guess Just wrong.

Xie Chen looked at Gu Hengyu's slightly frowning brows in front of him, and said to him: "Why don't you check Yan Yichen, you might find something else."

After hearing this, Gu Hengyu raised his eyes to look at Xie Chen.
