The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 718: The Deceitful Empress (Part 2)

The arrival of Jingzhao Mansion interrupted the climax of the drama, and the guests complained one by one, but Jingzhao Mansion came to the door with official documents, and the reason was aboveboard. Even the king of Ming Jun would not dare to jump out and let them leave .

King Ming sat in a wing room on the first floor, with a displeased expression on his face: "What's going on? Why are the people from Jingzhao Mansion here? Could it be that they have noticed the movement of the King of this county?"

The confidant guard said: "Probably not, we have been very careful, and we have not committed any crimes, and it is not the turn of Jingzhao Mansion to intervene."

"That's right, the king of this county is just waiting for someone..."

It's just that the timing wasn't right.

As soon as such a big incident happened to the Han family, he came out to the theater to do business. Who would believe it? I'm afraid everyone thought he was here to find flowers and ask willows.

The king of Mingjun was very distressed: "Will the person that the father said will really appear? But why has there been no news after waiting for so long?"

The confidant guard said: "It's better... the little one escorts the county king away first, and waits for the people from Jingzhao Mansion to leave before coming here."

King Ming frowned and said, "What if that person comes?"

The confidant guard said: "Don't be afraid when you come. Jingzhao Mansion is checking people in Tianxiang Pavilion, and he can't come in. The little one will go to the opposite side to watch. If you really see a suspicious person, go and hand over to him."

King Mingjun was a little moved, but he hesitated for a moment or shook his head: "My father has repeatedly told me that that person is a rare master, so I must personally take him back to the Prince's Mansion, and not let him fall into the hands of other forces... ...Forget it, I won't go far, if he comes, you go and inform me."

"Yes!"

The confidant guard opened the door and was alert to the movement outside. At this moment, the people from Jingzhao Mansion were checking every guest, probably to make sure that there were no traces of disguise.

Both men and women were checked.

strangeness.

King Ming Jun had little anti-reconnaissance experience, so he didn't know how to equip himself with a mask and a bamboo hat, so he could only minimize his presence and leave through the back door.

But as soon as he reached the backyard, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in through the back door.

King Ming's expression changed, and he hurriedly flashed back to a tea room in the lobby!

"What are you doing? How come even the people from the Captain's Mansion are here?"

King Ming secretly clenched his fist.

The Duwei's Mansion is a military government office that directly obeys the king's orders. It has the power to command the army of the Great Yan Kingdom. Its official positions do not need to be transferred through the cabinet, but are directly appointed by the king.

There was no Captain's Mansion in the previous dynasty. This is the government office established by the current monarch of Dayan to enhance his absolute position in the court.

The chief captain is Wang Ren, the younger brother of Concubine Wang Xian, and Wang Xu, Wang Ren's son-in-law, is here today. He is the captain of Guan Duwei in the captain's mansion, mainly in charge of personnel entering and leaving the capital.

Wang Xu rode on the horse and directed the two groups of officers and soldiers around him: "You guys, guard the door, not a single fly can fly out! You guys, follow me in and look for it!"

Looking for it again?

Who are you looking for?

When the Jingzhao Mansion came over, King Ming Jun was still not sure who it was, but the Duwei Mansion was dispatched, so it must be his grandfather who was looking for someone.

King Mingjun also remembered one thing. This Wang Xu was ordered to guard the imperial tomb a few years ago. It is said that he taught the emperor's eldest grandson martial arts in the imperial tomb, but the emperor's eldest grandson is a useless person, so he can't teach it at all.

"Your Majesty, there is a cellar here!" The confidant guard found the secret cellar in the tea room.

King Mingjun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly hid in the cellar with his confidant guards.

...

After Gu Jiao went downstairs, she went to the cubicle of Tianqiong Academy.

Yuan Xiao hurriedly said, "Liulang! Where have you been? You've been gone for so long! I've searched all over and can't find you!"

Gu Jiao said without changing her face: "Oh, I went to the toilet."

Zhao Wei asked: "Then did you fall into the toilet?"

The play is half over!

"Liulang." Gu Xiaoshun pulled out the chair and motioned for Gu Jiao to sit down.

He knew that Gu Jiao was looking for Gu Chengfeng, but he didn't know why Gu Chengfeng was singing on stage, and his sister had been there for so long.

Gu Jiao sat down next to Gu Xiaoshun, took out a coquettish peacock mask from her bosom and put it on.

Everyone was almost blinded by her manipulation.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Xiao looked at her as if she was mentally retarded.

Gu Jiao said solemnly: "I'm worried that they will be blinded by my beauty."

Yuan Xiao: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Gu Xiaoshun moved closer to Gu Jiao's ear, and asked in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Who are they looking for, sister? They can't be looking for Gu Chengfeng, right?"

Gu Jiao looked at the group of officials who came in in front, and then at the other wave of officials who came in through the back door. She didn't know much about the official uniforms of the Yan Kingdom, and she didn't know that the second wave of officials came from the Captain's Mansion.

But from the perspective of aura and demeanor, the status is not lost to Jingzhaofu.

"Probably not." She whispered.

Gu Chengfeng is just a fugitive slave from the Han family mine, and if he wants to be arrested, it will be the mine's private soldiers, so he won't have to work with such a big force.

Soon, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion searched the compartment of Tianqiong Academy.

Gu Xiaoshun was the first to be inspected, and there was actually a female officer in this wave of people.

It doesn't look like a real official post, but it looks like an ordinary woman wearing official post clothes.

The female officer pinched Gu Xiaoshun's face, as if to check whether he was wearing a human skin mask, and then she pressed Gu Xiaoshun's chest, making Gu Xiaoshun dumbfounded: "What are you doing!"

The female officer shook her head at the rest of Jingzhao Mansion.

Gu Jiao understood.

What they were looking for was a woman.

Gu Jiao wore a mask to show Xiao Heng, to let Xiao Heng know the intensity of this group of people's search, but she never expected that they would find the murderer.

It seems that it is not Xiao Heng who is at risk of exposure, but himself.

People from Jingzhao Mansion searched the lobby, and people from Duwei Mansion went up to the second floor.

Wang Xu met the eldest grandson of the emperor.

In fact, both Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao are at risk of being exposed.

The people of Tianqiong Academy were checked one by one, and everyone unanimously put Gu Jiao at the end. They didn't know why, they didn't know that Gu Jiao was a woman, but subconsciously felt that they should be in the front.

The second to last is Zhou Tong.

"Their inspection was a bit rude, but there was nothing malicious about it. Don't worry, don't be angry." Zhou Tong turned to Gu Jiao and said.

This is because she is afraid that Gu Jiao will stand out for her companions again and beat up the officials.

Gu Jiao wondered whether it would be better if she was caught and taken away, or if she beat up an official and ran away.

On the other side, Wang Xu came to the wing next to Gu Chengfeng.

After checking the guests in the room, he politely said "excuse me", then turned and left the room.

"My lord, this is the last room." The accompanying guard said.

The door was ajar.

People with high martial arts skills can distinguish people by hearing.

There were people inside, or two.

Wang Xu raised his hand and slowly pushed open the door.

At the same time, the rest of Tianqiong Academy were also inspected, only Gu Jiao was left.

The female officer took off Gu Jiao's mask and pinched Gu Jiao's face.

To be honest, the traces without the human skin mask are obvious enough, just in case, they still need to check the body.

What a cunning woman must be to force the government into such a situation?

Gu Jiao tightly squeezed the silver needle in her hand.

To expose, or not to expose?

crunch——

Gu Chengfeng's door was pushed open.

Wang Xu raised his foot and entered the room.

Suddenly a kick kicked him, hit his chest, and kicked him flying.

He flew out of the guardrail on the second floor and fell heavily to the lobby on the first floor.

Thanks to his good martial arts, he flipped in mid-air and stabilized his figure when he landed.

But it still caused quite a commotion.

Everyone raised their heads in unison, and even the female officer who was going to check on Gu Jiao froze.

The woman came to the guardrail, looked down at everyone, and then ran away!

The female officer hurriedly said: "Too... Hurry up! It's her!"

Everyone went to catch her.

Gu Jiao: It's so dangerous, it was almost exposed.

The woman ran downstairs in one breath, the front and rear doors were blocked, and she was destined to be unable to fly even with wings.

King Mingjun sat quietly on the floor of the cellar, waiting to be searched.

The confidant guard said: "Jun Wang, listen! They seem to have found it, and they are shouting, 'It's him, hurry up'!"

King Ming felt relieved: "That's great, so they should leave now, and they really didn't come to find the king of this county... They will be fine after they leave... The king of this county has not been found... Father and king confessed The matter of the king of the county, the king of the county finally didn't mess it up—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the cellar door was pulled open.

A small figure rushed down, whizzing, King Ming had no time to kick him out, the small figure had already crouched in front of him.

Afterwards, the two stared at each other.

Shangguan Yan raised her hand to say hello, and said with a smile: "Nephew, long time no see."

Let's go home together, my aunt will take you to fly.

Duke Ming: "...!!"

Prince Ming: Didn’t you lose your memory? How come you still remember to trick me!
