A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 413 413 The King of Hell Comes to Point Mao

Between Jiyang and Xiaochang'anju, in the wilderness at night, the sky is as dark as splashed ink. There is a patch of light among the weeds.

And where the lanterns and torches were held were Gao Changgong and others wearing shaman sacrificial robes.

As soon as he saw that the two of them were quite far away, he dismounted and led the horse over with a brisk pace. Gao Changgong, who was dressed as the high priest of Chu Wu, immediately left behind the personal guards behind him and was the first to come forward.

Gao Yanzong originally held the reins of the maroon horse with one hand, and walked side by side with the girl beside him, but when he saw his elder brother running over, he hurriedly loosened his hands.

Gao Changgong watched as his younger brother suddenly let go of the connected hands, took two steps away to avoid suspicion with the armored girl.

He looked at the expressions of the two people in front of him with phoenix eyes. Although they seemed distant, they were much warmer than when he had just chased them away.

So the eldest brother's dark phoenix eyes smiled with relief and nodded, "Have you two reconciled? That's right. As the old saying goes, two people don't fight... they make peace..."

Yuan Wuyou: "..."

It was clear that his words were all about that, but she was able to fill them in automatically and listened to them.

Since the eldest brother can say it, she can understand it, and Gao Yanzong can also understand it. He was already thin-skinned, so when he heard this, the man was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to look, and whispered in embarrassment,

"Fourth brother, please stop talking. I'm so ashamed. I also... disrupted your plan and let the Chishui female bandit escape..."

When Gao Yanzong mentioned this matter, Gao Changgong suddenly raised a roll of paper in his hand and smiled at his younger brother:
"I was about to tell Wuyou about this. I just received a letter from Xiao Feige. I guess the Chishui female bandit will come back to Jiyang on her own."

The man's face was already painted with a seductive witch-like makeup, and when he smiled, he looked more like a seductive and dazzling demon god. Yuan Wuyou was so dazzled by Gao Changgong's beauty that her heart was pounding. Fortunately, she still had a shred of reason left, so she quickly averted her eyes and grabbed the note in his hand.

"What did Lu Renjia say?"

As he said that, he unfolded the note and read it.

When Gao Yanzong heard this, he jumped up almost instantly, rushed to Yuan Wuyou's side, and leaned over to read the note.

"Lu Renjia? Shouldn't he be escorted to the barracks? Where is the opportunity to pass the message?"

After Yuan Wuyou roughly read the note, he clenched it into a ball in his palm, then twisted his face, looking at the peach blossom eyes of the man next to him that were widened with surprise, feeling a sense of joy in his heart.

"Tsk, is there anything else that Gao Yanzong didn't guess?"

Seeing her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed and the corners of her lips curling into a proud smile, Gao Yanzong couldn't help but hum:

"You're going to test me, right? No wonder you are so angry when I accidentally hurt him and Lao Li. They are all your informants? Then he pretends not to know you?" He suddenly slapped his forehead with an annoyed expression, "Hey ! I actually forgot that he and his father are from the same line as your parents... Isn’t that right? "

After Gao Yanzong finished speaking, the girl in front of him still didn't speak, looking at him with a smile. The man couldn't help but pat her shoulder, his brows furrowed and his eyes serious.

"Then why did he help the Chishui female bandit to kill people and steal money? You are not the one who colluded with the female bandit, right?"

Seeing that his younger brother was getting more and more confused, Gao Changgong couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and held the hand of the girl in front of him, "Stop being so pretentious and show the note to your fifth brother."

So Yuan Wuyou stuffed the crumpled note into Gao Yanzong's soft palm and said,

"Lu Renjia didn't know that I was King Fengling. His contact with Feige was the Governor of Xiangyang. However, because he dug out the Xiao family ring from Lao Li, Governor Yu became suspicious of the father and son. And the fate of Lu Renjia and his son It was my father who saved him, Lu Renjia and his adoptive father Lu Tong...but my mother-in-law was also a minister of Conglong in the Western Wei Dynasty."

Only then did Gao Yanzong suddenly realize, "I see, no wonder! By the way, your mother-in-law has really not been in vain for these decades. Not only is she well remembered by the world, but she also left these living legacies, allowing you to inherit so many loyal ministers. "Jiubu...you really have acquaintances wherever you go." As he said that, the man lowered his head and glanced at the note, and saw that it read: The King of Hell scolded Luo Yong and has gone to Jiyang to collect his body.

Gao Yanzong couldn't help but raise his head and looked at his elder brother in astonishment.

"You just said that the female bandit will return to Jiyang? What does the female bandit have to do with the Chiluo family based on what this note says?"

Gao Changgong took out the note from his hand and said leisurely,
"The Chishui female bandit has nothing to do with Chi Luo Yong, but his name is on the life and death book of the Xiao family who hired the female bandit. So Chi Luo Yong is the female bandit's next assassination target."

"What... book of life and death?"

"We learned from the mouth of the prefect of Xiangyang that Lu Renjia said that the Xiao family gave him an account book. The names of the officials and nobles who died in Huyang and Jiyang counties from the Tianping family are all the names recorded in the account book."

Gao Yanzong was stunned when he heard this, "Hey, where is the King of Hell Dianmao? Have you seen the account book?"

Yuan Wuyou shook his head,
"Before it was too late, Lu Renjia was escorted away by the female bandit leader Shovel. It is estimated that the book of life and death was already in Yu Wenzhi's hands, so Yu Wenzhi sent Lu Renjia to Qiu Guanfu for interrogation. I happen to have an acquaintance in Qiu Guanfu."

Gao Changgong was stunned for a moment, "What Qiu Guanfu?"

Yuan Wuyou said smoothly, "That's the Ministry of Justice. Your country in Qi is called the Ministry of Justice, right?"

Gao Changgong nodded, suddenly enlightened, but Gao Yanzong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you more familiar with Zhou State than Qi State? Did Yuwen Huaibi tell you?"

Miss Yuan couldn't help but raise her hand and flick the male fox's fair forehead to the point where she couldn't laugh or cry.
"You are still jealous at this time? Have you forgotten? Didn't the Zhou Kingdom follow the six-official system created by my mother? The same is true for Huaxu. The Tianguanfu is in charge of officials, the Diguanfu is in charge of household registration, the Chunguanfu is in charge of etiquette, and the Xiaguanfu is in charge In the winter, the government is in charge of hundreds of jobs, while in the autumn, the government is in charge of prisons. "

After a pause, she looked at the two brothers who were staring at her, reflected on what was wrong, and quickly made up for it:

"The Naqiu government of the Zhou Dynasty is also in charge of criminal law and prison litigation. But I digress. I only don't know one thing. Why can the Xiao family hire Chishui female bandits to chase them thousands of miles away? What kind of lifeblood does the Xiao family have of the female bandits? Let them kill people for themselves. Work hard?"

She didn't explain, and Gao Changgong hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet. As soon as she explained, his cheeks and the tips of his ears turned red.

Gao Yanzong was not surprised, he just raised his eyebrows and said,
"I guess it's money and fortune, otherwise the Xiao family wouldn't hold on to Mrs. Zheng's money. But the female bandit had already killed the master according to the book of life and death. I'm afraid the Xiao family had already promised the daughter to her before anything happened in the Zheng Mansion. Huge bounty for bandits.”

"The movements of the Xiao family have been leaked to our ears, which means that the old foxes from Zhou and Chen have known about it for a long time. I don't care why the Xiao family has the king of hell click on it. Mrs. Zheng's money must be returned to the Zheng family in Xingyang. "

As she said that, she looked at the two brothers in front of her.

"It looks like we have to stay on this road tonight and see which group starts fighting first."

So Gao Changgong waved his hand to his subordinates to light a fire to keep warm, and each took out the dry food they had prepared to fill their bellies. Then the two brothers gathered around Yuan Wuyou, one on the left and the other on the right.

She didn't know who she was looking at for a moment, and she felt quite ashamed.

Gao Changgong, who was as beautiful as a demon on the left, suddenly raised his long-lashed phoenix eyes and asked her with worried eyes:
"I heard that King Fengling came to Zhou Kingdom again. What's going on? They found a man to pretend to be you, just to steal your title?"

"I don't know what's going on. I'm here to recover Mrs. Zheng's inheritance, and I don't want to get involved with Zhou Guo."

When Gao Yanzong on the right heard this, he glared at her and said,

"It's already here, and you're still thinking about avenging the Zheng family? You're about to be replaced by someone else! What are you going to do?"

Faced with the urging from both sides, Yuan Wuyou stretched out his hands helplessly, patted their shoulders, then stood up and turned back, looking calmly at the two brothers sitting on the grass, staring at her.
