Huafanchunzhengming

Chapter 1148
Xiao Yang looked away calmly, and saluted Wei Zizhao: "I heard that your Highness is going to find something to do?"

Wei Zizhao said flatly, "Where did you go?"

Xiao Yang didn't change his face: "The end will lead people to search for spies."

"I heard that you arrested someone?" Wei Zizhao still had that half-dead indifference.

"I caught a person and locked him up. Does Your Highness want to take a look?"

Could it be that He Miao was caught?Gu Zhou, who was dying on the cross, slowly opened his eyes and listened to the movement.

"Of course it depends, bring him up!" Wei Zizhao pointed at Gu Zhou: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, you and your accomplices will be chopped up to make flower fertilizer, and next year's wandering flowers will bloom even better."

Gu Zhou struggled and said: "Your Highness, I don't have any accomplices. I have always served Qilang wholeheartedly. I have never left the palace for half a step, and I dare not have personal relationships with others. Please learn from me."

Qilang thought that if Gu Zhou was designated as a spy, he would not be able to please him, so he stepped forward and begged: "Your Highness, he has been very disciplined since he entered the mansion, so there is really no problem."

Wei Zizhao was unmoved, and only asked to bring him up.

The man with five flowers tied up was pushed up and cursed: "Wei Zizhao, you useless person, you ruined Zhongliang, you will die..."

One after another, they scolded Wei Zizhao for what he did, and everyone in Prince Zhao's mansion suddenly changed their colors. They were afraid that Wei Zizhao would get angry, and everyone would be unlucky.

Wei Zizhao was a little surprised, and asked Xiao Yang: "It sounds like he is from Jingzhong."

Xiao Yang respectfully said: "Yes, he is the son of Shi Gangzhong, the former servant of the Ministry of Officials. The general found out that he went to Baihua Terrace last night, and there was dirt on his feet..."

Shi Gangzhong's son pointed at him and yelled: "Xiao Yang, you scumbag! Old General Xiao sacrificed his life for his country, how brave he is, how could he give birth to a spineless scum like you... You deserve to be like this! look!"

Since Wei Zizhao came to power, he crazily massacred and revenged all those who opposed her or had harmed her. Shi Gangzhong, the former servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was convicted of treason for opposing her. He died violently in prison on the third day after he was imprisoned. Think it was her fault.

This person has an excellent official reputation and is regarded as loyal and good. His death has brought great damage to Wei Zizhao's reputation, and his family's old disciples hated Wei Zizhao to the core.

Wei Zizhao had some scruples and didn't rush to kill them all.

But at this moment, Shi Gangzhong's son appeared in front of her. He was so provocative. If she didn't kill him, she wouldn't be able to make it through. If there is one, there will be two. Someone will follow her immediately, and her authority will be greatly questioned and shaken.

But if she kills him, it will cause her bad reputation to become even worse. She can't get rid of her cruelty and viciousness, and she will encounter more opposition.

This is not conducive to her contending with other forces.

Wei Zizhao looked at Xiao Yang silently, always feeling that something was wrong.

But Xiao Yang couldn't see anything on his face, as if he didn't hear the scolding at all, he said respectfully: "Your Highness, please check."

Wei Zizhao withdrew his gaze, pointed at Gu Zhou and asked Shi Gangzhong's son, "You and your accomplice can only live one, and whoever tells the truth first will live."

Shi Gangzhong's son looked at Gu Zhou, a little surprised, and then sneered: "I have nothing to say, I fall into the hands of a scourge like you, which is a disaster for the country and the people. If you want to kill you, you can kill it, you can cut it up, whatever you want."

Gu Zhou rushed to say: "I said, I said, Your Highness, you can say whatever you want me to say, anyway, whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

Wei Zizhao's eyes darted back and forth on Xiao Yang, Shi Gangzhong's son, Qilang, and Gu Zhou, all of them were worried, wondering how she would judge her.

"You...kill him." Wei Zizhao looked at Xiao Yang and pointed at Shi Gangzhong's son.

Everyone present was stunned, but Gu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Zizhao suspected Xiao Yang, and felt that this was a political conspiracy against her from Jingzhong, which meant that he was much safer. .

Seeing that Xiao Yang didn't say anything, Wei Zizhao's eyes became more and more cold: "Xiao Yang?"

Xiao Yang frowned slightly: "Your Highness, the last general..."

Wei Zizhao pulled out the sword of the guard beside him and threw it in front of him: "You just need to answer me, yes or no!"

Xiao Yang took a deep breath, slowly picked up the long sword, and walked towards Shi Gangzhong's son.

Shi Gangzhong's son stared at Xiao Yang, spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on his face, and gritted his teeth: "A running dog!"

Xiao Yang let the bloody phlegm hang on his face, clenched the long sword with both hands, raised it high, roared angrily, and swung it down forcefully.

The blood flashed, and the head of Shi Gangzhong's son fell to the ground. His eyes were still wide open when he died, and he didn't flinch or fear at all.

Xiao Yang maintained the posture of swinging the long sword down, his twisted face was numb.

Seeing him like that, Gu Zhou felt flustered.

"Papa papa" Wei Zizhao clapped his hands slowly a few times, and said with a smile: "Tell everyone, the son of Shi Gangzhong tried to assassinate the king, but was beheaded by the sword by General Xiao Yangxiao."

"Yes!" The palace guards rushed out, loudly conveying the news.

"The son of Shi Gangzhong tried to assassinate the king, but was beheaded by the sword by General Xiao Yangxiao!"

The high-pitched voices came and went, and they spread out of the house in a short time, and everyone knew it.

"Tie this head to a flagpole and hang it on the city gate to show the public. Xiao Yang, you go and guard it. If you find a chaotic party, you will be shot!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was forcing Xiao Yang to stand in line.

After this incident, Xiao Yang's reputation was completely ruined. From then on, no one would trust him and treat him as a loyal empress.

Without Wei Zizhao's protection, he could only die, and he was completely tied to Wei Zizhao.

There was sympathy in Qilang's eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Yes." Xiao Yang put away the long sword expressionlessly, wiped it clean, handed it to Wei Zizhao with both hands, and walked out with the head in his hands.

"Put him down." Wei Zizhao waved his hand wearily, asking someone to put Gu Zhou down.

Qilang was very happy, hugged her leg and rubbed hard: "Your Highness is so kind, Qilang really hurts."

Gu Zhou was placed on the spring stool, grinning his teeth in pain, and had to shout: "Thank you for your grace of not killing, Your Highness, I will be more careful in handling things after I get down."

Suddenly Bai Sun came over, flatteringly said: "Your Highness, I made you a bowl of tonic soup, which clears fire and nourishes yin, would you like to try it?"

Gu Zhou felt a "thump" in his heart, secretly thinking that it was not good, this guy chose to come here at this time, he definitely has no good intentions.

Sure enough, after Wei Zizhao finished drinking the soup, he heard Bai Sun say maliciously: "Actually, when His Highness checked people today, there was one person missing in the mansion."

Wei Zizhao raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Who?"

Qilang's face was pale, and he rushed to kowtow and said: "I was wrong, I shouldn't be jealous and narrow-minded, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
