Chapter 551 Liu Gao: The more you resist, the stronger I become! [3 more]

Song Huizong snorted coldly:
"You mean to say that Liu Gao is capable and can be spared punishment if he is guilty?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Li Gang lowered his head:

"Liu Zhizhou must be held responsible for the death of General Gao.

"But now Magistrate Liu is on the front line to wipe out the remnants of Tian Hu!

"I beg Your Majesty to allow Liu Zhizhou to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, so that his merits and demerits can offset each other!

"General Gao died at the hands of Tian Hu's remnants. Prefect Liu wiped out Tian Hu's remnants, which not only quelled the rebellion in Hebei, but also comforted General Gao's spirit in heaven!"

"Well……"

Song Huizong was somewhat moved by what Li Gang said.

In fact, he had long seen that Liu Gao was a pillar of society.

Liu Gao is very useful both internally and externally.

But Gao Qiu was his close relative, and he died in vain. Song Huizong simply couldn't get over this mental hurdle!
No one can replace the happiness that Gao Qiu brings him!
Gao Qiu's feet...

More flexible than hands!
Song Huizong sighed:
Without Gao Qiu, who can play football with me?

It was only at this time that Cai Jing coughed dryly as if he had just woken up:
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

Zhang Bangchang was about to retort to Li Gang with his mouth open, but after Cai Jing said this, he could only take a breath of air.

Huh?
Li Yuhou glanced at Cai Jing and savored the food carefully. The more he savored it, the more delicious it became!
As expected, he is the Grand Master!

"That's fine!"

Song Huizong nodded for Cai Jing's sake:
"We can allow him to make up for his crime with meritorious service, but we can't just let it go like this!
"I give him three months to wipe out the remnants of Tian Hu and bring peace to Hebei!"

Three months?
Zhang Bangchang's face turned green: So long?
Three months?
Li Yuhou’s face turned green: So short?
But the emperor's words are golden, and once they are spoken, they cannot be taken back. Li Gang could only say that His Majesty is wise.

After retiring from court, Li Gang returned home in a good mood.

He really admired Liu Gao as a capable minister.

Although all the civil and military officials in the court said that Liu Gao was a traitor and Gao Qiu's lackey, Li Gang did not think so.

Because Liu Gao really did something practical.

Putting aside other things, who can compare with his achievement of exempting the annual tribute?
You say Liu Gao is a treacherous minister, can you exempt him from the annual tribute?
In addition, Liu Gao wiped out Tian Hu in a short period of time, which made Li Gang fully realize Liu Gao's talents in both civil and military affairs.

Li Gang has had a close relationship with Liu Gao for a long time.

So today when Zhang Bangchang was taking advantage of Liu Gao's misfortune, Li Gang spoke up for him.

But Li Gang felt that this was not enough.

After returning home, he wrote a letter to Liu Gao as quickly as he could.

Just when he was thinking of sending someone to deliver it to Liu Gao, he saw a giant man standing under the eaves.

The giant was ten feet tall, as tall as an ox and as strong as a horse, with a broad back and strong arms. It was obvious at first glance that he was a very strong man.

Li Gang felt that the person looked familiar but could not recognize him for a moment, so he asked:
"Who are you?"

The giant bowed to Li Gang and said:
"I am Zhang Bao."

Li Gang remembered that this was his own son whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Zhang Bao, where have you been?"

Zhang Bao: "I am doing some business outside."

Li Gang nodded: "Can you walk a long way?"

Zhang Bao: "I carry a load of five or six hundred kilograms and walk three or four hundred miles a day."

Li Gang was surprised: "Really?"

Zhang Bao: “Really!”

Li Gang had the ability to judge people, and he could tell that Zhang Bao was a real person, so he believed what he said:

"Zhang Bao, I have always forgotten you. I was so busy with state affairs that I never respected you.

"Well, please deliver a letter to Liu Zhizhou in Gaizhou for me.

"I recommend you to be a servant to the Magistrate Liu. You must serve Master Liu carefully!"

Zhang Bao: "I won't go!
"The ancients said that the prime minister's family members were seventh-rank officials, so why did they go to Liu Zhizhou?"

Knowing that Zhang Bao was a sincere man, Li Gang did not argue with him and said with a smile:
"Liu Zhizhou is truly a great man, a peerless hero, a man of both civil and military talents!

"If I don't follow this kind of person, who else should I follow?"

Zhang Bao was persuaded by Li Gang:

"I will go and join him. If it doesn't work out, I will come back."

Li Gang: (_)
Zhang Bao took the letter, bowed to Li Gang, left the mansion, turned back home, said goodbye to his wife, put on his baggage, picked up a mixed iron rod weighing over 100 pounds, went out and headed west.

At the same time, Li Yuhou returned to the Palace Marshal's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Yuhou bumped into someone!

"Blind?"

Li Yuhou was already in a bad mood and started cursing.

In the end, the man ignored him, got up and ran away.

Li Yuhou grabbed him and turned him over. It turned out to be Er Gouzi, a servant of the Palace Marshal's Mansion.

"Er Gouzi, you hit me, why the hell are you running away?"

Li Yuhou was cursing, but he heard the sound of something jumping on the ground.

Li Yuhou looked down and said:
Good guy!
It turned out to be a pearl the size of a fingertip. It fell to the ground and bounced non-stop!
"you--"

Li Yuhou suddenly raised his head, his eyes red:

This is a gift given to him by his half-brother Yan Qing!

Later, he was robbed by General Gao!

But why did it happen to Ergouzi?

Ergouzi hurriedly tried to pick up the pearls, but Li Yuhou rushed over and used an electric cannon to knock Ergouzi down.

Holding Er Gouzi down with one hand and picking up the pearl with the other, Li Yuhou glared at Er Gouzi fiercely:
“Why are my pearls in your hands?

"Where are you going with my pearls?"

Er Gouzi didn't dare to confront Li Yuhou, so he had to confess honestly.

It turned out that when the news of Gao Qiu's death was known, everyone in the palace was in a state of panic.

As a result, the maid discovered that Gao Qiu's small treasury had been stolen, which caused an uproar in the mansion.

Just now, Ergouzi accidentally discovered that there was something glowing under the wall.

A closer look revealed that it was a large pearl that had fallen into the grass.

So Er Gouzi picked up the big pearl, sneaked out, and wanted to find someone to sell the pearl to.

As luck would have it, he ran into Li Yuhou.

Er Gouzi begged Li Yuhou to spare him.

Li Yuhou didn't make things difficult for him. He stuffed the pearl into his own pocket and then kicked Ergouzi.

After releasing Er Gouzi, Li Yuhou hurried into the mansion to see Gao Qiu's small treasury.

As expected, Gao Qiu's small treasury was empty.

Li Yuhou's heart is bleeding:

These should have been mine...

……

Gaizhou.

"My husband, your horse!"

The "Golden Retriever" Duan Jingzhu finally delivered the Night Jade Lion to Liu Gao:

"Luckily, I have fulfilled my mission!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

When Liu Gao saw the Night-Shine Jade Lion, he said:
The snow-white silk was as white as snow, without a single stray hair on its body!
From head to tail, it is ten feet long!
From the hoof to the spine, it is eight feet high!
Standing there it looks like a jade lion, and running like a little white dragon!

It is truly a BMW that is one in a million!
Liu Gao couldn't help himself and jumped onto the horse, almost falling forward.

The Zhaoye Jade Lion actually resisted!

The resistance is still fierce!
The drug that Duan Jingzhu had given it had taken effect, and Duan Jingzhu hurriedly tried to grab the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

"do not move!"

Liu Gao's eyes sparkled, and he rubbed his hands together, as if he were a wild boar king who had discovered some juicy little cabbages:

"The more you resist, the stronger I become!"
