First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 350
...

It was very rude to see Ran Sheng pointing at He Zhongde and yelling at him.

Gao Chong frowned, and coughed lightly, "He Mingfu is the official of the imperial court, and also an elder, the son of the Ran family must not be rude."

Hearing this, He Zhongde was overjoyed, nodded his head vigorously, as if he had found a backer, he immediately stood up, and angrily reprimanded Ran Sheng: "You are so brave to humiliate an official with the people, and the Ran family stands up."

Ran Sheng couldn't figure out Gao Chong's thoughts, so he could only squeeze his fists and swallow his anger.

"Ran Sheng, you go back first." Gao Chong sat back and waved his hands casually and said, "I will go to Qianjiang later."

"When will the ambassador go?" Ran Sheng hurriedly asked.

"The whereabouts of this envoy still need to be reported to you." With a bang, Gao Chong reprimanded him.

Ran Sheng was busy apologizing, then looked around, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The Qianjiang beauty has been waiting for a long time, I hope the ambassador will not disappoint the beauty's expectations."

Hearing the words, Gao Chong's expression was blushing, he looked at He Zhongde and the others "cautiously", he just waved his hands and said, "I got it, I got it, let's go."

Seeing Gao Chong's eagerness, but reserved appearance on the face, Ran Sheng was secretly delighted, "Then I will take my leave first, and the ambassador must not forget the Qianzhou Three Beauties Agreement."

This is also the reason why the Ran family sent him to entertain the appeasement envoy. The Ran family had their own eyeliner in Hongshe, and the appeasement envoy was the one who asked to warm the bed the night he arrived in Hongshe. The news spread to the neighboring counties that night. Ran family.

The Ran family's descendants discussed overnight, and after a long analysis, they sent Ran Sheng, who was also young and romantic, to invite him with beauties, wine and food. As expected, this playboy in Chang'an immediately "fell".

After Ran Sheng left, Gao Chong suddenly sat up straight, looked at the worried He Zhongde and asked directly: "Do you want to bring down the Ran family, and even the Tian family in Qianzhou?"

Gao Chong's sudden and blunt words made He Zhongde stunned on the spot, daring not to speak.

"Say", Gao Chong once again scolded, "If you don't tell me, I will go to Qianjiang tomorrow."

He Zhongde was worried in his heart that this dissolute and shameless appeasement envoy would be won over by the Ran family, and he was deeply worried.

Now he lashed out angrily at the case, and he was agitated, and hurriedly said: "The ambassador must not have a bad intention, and it is not enough to conspire with him."

"Then He Shuxing invaded three or four out of ten fields in Hongshe, so the He family can conspire with him?" Gao Chong sneered, staring at He Zhongde and said quietly.

He Zhongde's complexion changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he looked at Gao Chong in disbelief, "You, why are you...".

"How do I know right?" Gao Chong stepped down from his seat and approached He Zhongde step by step, his eyes fixed on him, his aura gradually domineering, with an undisguised murderous aura.

At this moment, he really wanted to kill these corrupt officials.

"Hongshe has served as county magistrate three times in a row, all from He's family. It's so majestic. Do you want to change the big banner with Tang characters in Hongshe City to what?"

"In the winter of the third year of Wude, there was heavy snowfall in Hongshe, and the people in Lujiagou on the outskirts of the city were living in poverty. The He family took the opportunity to buy more than half of the land in Lujiagou at a low price."

"In the summer of the fourth year of Wude, He Shuxing forcibly occupied Liujiabufang in the east of the city, beat Liu Dalang to death, maimed his father, and forced his wife to be a concubine. The woman would rather die than obey, and threw herself into the river."

……

As Gao Chong continued to speak, He Zhongde's face gradually turned pale, and he couldn't hold on any longer, and fell limp to the ground.

"The Ran family's intentions are not right, your He family is the family of good deeds?" Gao Chong scolded angrily.

"This, this ambassador, please forgive me." He Zhongde lay on the ground, crying bitterly, not knowing what to say.

"Pass down the emissary order, He Shuxing oppressed goodness and harmed innocent people, and immediately took him to Caishikou and beheaded him for public display," Gao Chong immediately sternly said.

Jiang Baoyi paused when he heard the words, Kaohsiung has already accepted the order with a clang.

"Ambassador, my lord, please forgive me." He Zhongde's face immediately changed when he heard the words, and he hurriedly grabbed the hem of Gao Chong's clothes, "My He family is willing to serve the Bohai Gao family. This is an active offer. You can't do this, my lord."

Gao Chong raised his foot and kicked it flying, then stepped forward and gritted his teeth and said: "I advise you to be sober, I want to rectify Qianzhou, your He family can't escape, you better think clearly ".

Huan Fasi on the side also reacted, admiring him very much, and immediately said: "Most of the crimes of the He family were caused by He Shuxing, but Pindao has not found out the crimes of He Mingfu."

As soon as this was mentioned, He Zhongde's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, that's right, what the Taoist priest said is, my son Mingjian, it was He Shuxing who did such evil things behind my back. I don’t know, I didn’t participate in it.”

A trace of disdain flashed in everyone's eyes, the compatriots also sold so decisively and thoroughly, this He Zhongde is cruel enough.

Gao Chong nodded in satisfaction, squatted down, followed the guidance, "He Mingfu has already lost his younger brother, so the Ran family and Tian family should pay a hundred times, a thousand times the price.

Especially Tian Zongxian, who angered your father to death, and now implicates your younger brother... ".

While speaking, Gao Chong observed He Zhongde's expression.

Sure enough, the more he listened to He Zhongde, the more angry he became, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If what my second brother did deserves to die, then Tian Zongxian and Ran Tai should be hacked into pieces and cut into pieces...".

Then He Zhongde reacted quickly, and directly wiped his nose and tears with his official robe, "Young master, I would like to hold the knife in my hand, and I will do whatever you ask me to do. The crimes of Ran Jiatian's family are too numerous to record, and I am willing to help you saddle up and find out the evidence ".

Gao Chong looked at Jiang Baoyi and Huan Fasi, raised his head and laughed loudly, "Good, good, very good."

He straightened up He Zhongde and poured tea for him, "This envoy also knows that He Shuxing doesn't have much respect for He Mingfu. Most of the He family is decided by He Shuxing. Once He Shuxing dies, this He family can be controlled by you alone." The final decision.

In addition, Si Niang, I will take Si Niang to Chang'an to serve Her Highness the Princess. When the time comes, Her Highness the Princess will be happy, and I will give you a few words of kindness in front of the saint, and I can easily promote He Mingfu to the capital. Isn't that a sentence? thing".

Unable to suppress his excitement, He Zhongde hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, grabbing the ground with his head.

"He Zhongde thanked the son for his great kindness. The son is at ease. He Zhongde is not a fool. Uncle He should be beheaded for his crime. I have no resentment in my heart."

Gao Chong was very satisfied, "Then let's start with Ran's family. I'll give you two days. This is Daoist Huan. I'll ask him to cooperate with you. Within two days, we must investigate Ran Tai, Ran Sheng and others. I want conclusive evidence.

Two days later, I will go to Qianjiang to start a massacre. Don’t worry, the Ran family will definitely be worse than your He family. If one He Shuxing dies in the He family, a lot of Ran’s family will die.”

He Zhongde was greatly relieved when he heard the last sentence, and all the worries and worries in his heart were swept away, "I will definitely do my best."

This is how people's hearts are. Seeing that others are worse than themselves makes them feel better, especially for enemies.
