Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 83 King Gaochang?

In history, Li Chengqian had a little boy named Rongxin.

It's just that this kind of thing is still relatively popular among scholar-bureaucrats, and rough old men like Zhang Liang can't accept it at any cost.

After hearing what the third faker said, he suddenly felt a chill.

He stood up directly, kicked the man, and cursed angrily:
"He actually sold his own ass just to get a half-job."

"I, Zhang Liang, don't have such pretense as you, so get out of here."

The man continued to argue, but was already pulled out by the guards.

Zhang Liang looked at the two fake men who were kneeling on the ground, their faces turned pale with fear, and thought of Hou Junji who was now proud of the spring breeze.

There was even more unknown anger in his heart, and he kicked the two fakers again: "Get out of here, I will naturally find a solution for you because of your official position."

After the two listened, they couldn't help being overjoyed, regardless of the pain on their bodies.

After thanking Zhang Liang again and again, he rolled out of the living room.

Zhang Liang sat there and became sulky again, so he called Gongsun Zhi over and asked how things were going.

Gongsun Zhi entered the hall and looked at Zhang Liang, who was sitting there, panting with anger.

Smiling slightly, he picked up the teapot on the table, gave Zhang Liang a cup of tea and handed it over.

"Father, calm down. It's not worth getting angry for giving these worthless things."

Zhang Liang took the tea and looked at Gongsun Zhi, who was as gentle as jade in front of him, and felt a little better.
"Oh, if only these people were like you, Gongsun."

"How's the investigation going?"

Gongsun Zhi was secretly proud. He sat down on the chair at the bottom with a smile and said:

"Father, I was just coming to tell you that Hou Junji may fall into our hands this time."

When Zhang Liang heard this, he immediately became interested, sat up straight and asked:

"If you get any news, please tell me quickly."

Gongsun Zhi said: "Father, let's talk about the second award."

"Hou Junji asked for the title for the second time. In fact, His Majesty was very unhappy. I heard that he pinched his nose and signed it."

Zhang Liang frowned and said, "I know about this. Although His Majesty is very unhappy, it is unrealistic to rely on this to win over Hou Junji."

Gongsunzhi smiled slightly, "Of course my child knows, but what if there are people who pretend to be military leaders on the list of rewards for the second time? Hou Junji reported all his gatekeepers this time."

Zhang Liang's eyes widened suddenly, "What? Could it be that Hou Junji has lost his mind? This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Tell me in detail."

Gongsun Zhi then began to tell,

It turned out that the concierge of Hou Junji, after getting drunk a few days ago, boasted to others that his Lord Hou had invited a reward for himself, and gave it to a ninth-rank official, and he would take up his post in a few days.

This matter was told to Gongsun Zhi by someone who was interested. He immediately sent someone to investigate in detail, but he did not expect that this matter turned out to be true.

And not only the concierge, but even his son-in-law Helan Chushi and many family members were also rewarded.

After saying this, Gongsun Zhi took out another list from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Liang, and said proudly:

"Father, look here is the list. I spent a lot of money to get a copy from the Ministry of Officials."

Zhang Liang took the list and looked at it carefully. There were many names on it that he was familiar with.Among them, Helan Chushi's name is prominently listed.

Finally, a name was circled in red pen: He Lanting, presumably the concierge of the Hou family.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but patted the table and applauded, "Well done, Gongsun."

"Once this list is verified, not only will the rewards of the above people be gone, but they will definitely be punished."

"As for that Hou Junji, the crime of deceiving the emperor cannot be escaped. I will go to the palace to see your majesty tomorrow."

Gongsun Zhi spoke again: "Father, there is another matter related to Hou Junji, but I haven't completed the investigation yet."

Zhang Liang, who was in a good mood, said: "Let's talk about it together. Maybe you can surprise me." Gongsun Zhi said: "There were a few Gaochang people living in a dry shop in the east of the city. They were killed by a little thief from Chang'an. Some property was stolen.”

"They caught him on the spot. Those Gaochang people almost beat the little thief to death. The people nearby couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him."

"It was said that they were asked to report to the official, but they were unwilling to report to the official. This is the first doubt."

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and then said:

"The little thief held a grudge and said they were Gaochang rebels because they had jade seals in their pockets."

"Everyone wanted to bring these people to the government, but these people ran away."

"This is doubt two."

Imperial jade seal?Zhang Liang couldn't help being interested, "Where did those Gaochang people go?"

Gongsun Zhi said:

"After these people ran away, it didn't matter to me, so everyone didn't chase after them."

"After I heard about this incident, I also took advantage of it and quickly found the place where these people stayed. It seems that these Gaochang people are all very powerful, I'm afraid their kung fu is not weak."

"I think in these two days, find an excuse to bring more soldiers and search them again. If there is nothing serious, I won't report it to you."

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said:
"Hou Junji came back and reported that King Gaochang died in the rebellion. But there are rumors that Hou Junji captured the queen of Gaochang and killed the king of Gaochang."

"There's no need to wait. Now you take two hundred guards to capture these people. You have to be quick and don't let these people fall into Hou Junji's hands."

Gongsun Zhi suddenly woke up, stood up from his seat, and went out with Zhang Liang's handwriting.

When it got dark, Gongsun Zhi had already returned.

Tell Zhang Liang that all the people have been captured, and a piece of jade was really found from one person. It looks very precious, but the words on it are not recognizable, so I don't know if it is a jade seal.

After saying that, he took out a jade stone the size of a pen and inkstone, as solid as jade fat, and well-carved from his arms.

The moment Zhang Liang saw the jade, Zhang Liang's pupils immediately contracted.

Imperial jade seal!

He didn't see this thing often in the emperor.

The two jade seals are exactly the same except for the different handwriting.

The identities of these people are probably not simple.

Zhang Liang immediately asked Gongsun Zhi to bring these people up.

Except for the leader, all these people are very powerful. Although they are wearing Tang Dynasty clothes, they can tell that they are foreigners at a glance.

The man at the front had a tall nose and deep eyes, and was thin in stature. Although his face was sad, he could not conceal his aura of nobility.

After Zhang Liang looked them back and forth several times, he asked Gongsun Zhi to take the other people away, leaving only this sad-looking man.

Then he stepped forward with a smile to untie the man and asked, "Can you speak Mandarin?"

The man remained silent.

Zhang Liang didn't care too much, picked up the jade seal on the table and said, "This is the jade seal. Although I don't know the characters on it, I can guess the general meaning."

"The person who can carry this thing is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Am I right? My noble King of Gaochang?"

After hearing this, the man raised his head and stopped denying: "My lord, you have recognized the wrong person. I am not the King of Gaochang."

"I got that jade seal accidentally."

Zhang Liang couldn't help sneering, "Get it by accident? Then tell me, how did you get it by accident?"

The man was speechless for a moment.
