Chapter 577: Junior brother, if someone wants to buy your head from an official position, you are the kind of person who would rather be in office~
"Everyone knows...it's all...all blood! I dare not go in...I called in front of the door for a long time, but there was no response...I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
Although there had been speculations for a long time, when the people sent from the palace brought back such news, Tong Guan's heart sank to the bottom and he felt an unspeakable pain: "Are all houses like this?"
The little chamberlain who came out of the palace to investigate lowered his head and said in horror: "I only went to two buildings... I didn't dare to go to others..."
Tong Guan didn't take any chances and asked again: "Have you reported it to the Kaifeng government office?"
The little waiter shook his head repeatedly: "No...no..."
"It's fine if I don't have it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for long..."
Tong Guan sighed, and then looked at the young chamberlain in front of him who was speaking intermittently and shivering. In the past, he would not let such people do things at all. He waved his hand impatiently: "Get off!"
The young chamberlain withdrew as if he had received an amnesty, leaving Tong Guan alone to sit quietly for a moment. Suddenly, he swept all the pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and incense burner decorations on the table in front of him to the ground. The voice of grief and indignation echoed in the room: "No son of mine!
!No self!!”
The murderer need not doubt that the person who could carry out such a vicious attack would not be a court judge like Gongsun Zhao who enforces the law impartially, but would only be the unscrupulous leader of the Wuyoudong thief like Wuwozi.
There is no need to doubt the motive. Wuyou Cave was wiped out by the imperial court. All of Wuwozi’s men were wiped out and they had nothing. Now, all of his men were wiped out and they had nothing!
"It's not me who advocated the annihilation of Wuyou Cave. Every injustice has its own owner, so go ahead and kill Gongsun Zhao!"
"Why did you kill my son! My son ahhhh--!"
The child's chest heaved and howled.
These internal servants outside the palace were all carefully selected from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Ye Ting. He was not the only one, Li Xian also left many.
It took the combined efforts of two generations to achieve such a scale, but it was almost wiped out overnight!
Anyone else would be heartbroken!
The most tragic thing is that he didn't even dare to report the crime, because if he handed it in, Gongsun Zhao would definitely find out. The other party had already noticed that he was colluding with Wuyoudong. If the Queen Mother hadn't suppressed him, he might have come to find him.
How can you take the initiative to hand over the handle?
At this time, the movement in the house obviously alarmed the outside. The palace maid came in with a pale face to clean up, and a chamberlain came in to report: "As you all know, the official family has a blessing ceremony for the Queen Mother, and many matters in the palace have been prepared. I don't know if I want to go to the Prime Minister's Kingdom."
Offer incense and worship Buddha in the temple?”
Tong Guan forced a smile: "Officials are pure filial piety. Of course, these must be arranged. Tell Zen Master Zhiqing to prepare for the pick-up."
Who is ordered to step back: "Yes!"
Tong Guan tried hard to adjust his breathing, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he realized two things.
First, until Wuwozi is confirmed to be dead, he cannot leave the palace. In the palace, no matter how arrogant the heretical people are, there is nothing he can do.
The second is to shift the focus of business to the palace and re-train capable subordinates.
With this thought in mind, he put on the official robe, tidied up his appearance, and walked to Yanfu Palace.
This place was originally a place for recreation for the emperor and empress, but since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the political situation was completely controlled by the Empress Dowager Xiang, and Zhao Ji really spent most of his time here.
At this time, I could see from a distance that this handsome and noble official was painting in Fuyun Pavilion.
Tong Guan controlled his pace and leaned over.
You can't be too far away, otherwise you won't be able to stand out and be indistinguishable from other servants and maids, but you can't be too close, otherwise you will scare the officials who are immersed in it.
When he got closer, Tong Guan also saw that the official painting was a painting of flowers and birds, with two tits perched on the branches of a plum tree. The plum blossoms were about to bloom, soft and beautiful, and the feathers of the birds seemed to be shiny. The two complemented each other.
Beautiful and moving.
If it were someone else, he might have focused on the brushwork with strong bones and steep branches, or the painting with vivid and elegant details, but the first thing Tong Guan noticed were the four words that Zhao Ji had just inscribed in the lower right corner,
"One person in the world".
His eyes flashed slightly, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
You want to have nothing? You are so naive!
He is a well-known member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a member of the sixth rank of the imperial court, and the most important thing is that he is a close minister of the emperor.
As long as the assistant official's family becomes a true "one of the world" and has the trust of this nine-five-year-old man, even if the current sons are gone, within a few years, a new batch of sons can be cultivated, and even military power can be obtained.
Have the scenery of Li Xian!
At that time, ministers will come to wash his feet and praise the smell of his feet!
When Tong Guan's mood was ups and downs, Zhao Ji paused his writing, slowly closed it, and turned around: "Tong Duzhi!"
Tong Guan immediately stepped forward to stand respectfully, and heard the official with soft eyebrows ask with concern: "There has been injustice outside the palace recently, will my prayers for the empress not be affected?"
Tong Guan knew very well what the official was asking, so he organized his words and said: "There is indeed a turmoil outside the palace. The leader of the thief is on the run and his behavior is erratic, which may cause trouble..."
Zhao Ji frowned slightly: "When it comes to praying for the empress, we must calm down the chaos as soon as possible. I actually intend to let Judge Gongsun arrest the culprit, but it is a pity that he is too aggressive and not calm enough. The empress is kind-hearted and wants to hone him...
…”
The surrounding palace maids and chamberlains were all listening. The news in the palace spread very quickly. I am afraid that these words will soon reach the ears of the Queen Mother, and even the officials in the outer court will soon know about it.
When the time comes, Empress Dowager Xiang will be very satisfied with the officials' cover-up of her previous behavior, which was almost like burning bridges. The courtiers also think that the officials are kind and filial. Only Tong Guan knows that this person cannot tolerate Gongsun Zhao, and is urging him to hurry up as soon as possible.
Get rid of that annoying cold-faced judge.
If it had been last night, Tong Guanhui would have confidently assured that the arrangements he had made were not just those of Ding Run, the official of the Imperial City Company, but the drastic changes that had taken place last night had disrupted all arrangements. After hearing this, he paused for a moment, then
Said: "Please rest assured, the officials, I will definitely do my best to help the officials share their worries!"
"Don't forget to go to the Queen Mother to say hello!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Ji looked at him, hummed, and returned to the painting.
Tong Guan bowed and retreated quietly until Zhao Ji was completely out of sight, then he straightened up and resumed his usual pace, his face looking very ugly.
The official's last words meant that he was impatient. The Queen Mother was still unwilling to delegate power. There were troublemakers like Gongsun Zhao in the court who were an eternal disaster. Outside the palace, there were unscrupulous thieves who had no sons. Every time
Everything is a headache.
Even if Wuwozi is handed over to Dong Yunzi and Gongsun Zhao is handed over to Ding Run, these two can really deal with each other, but what should the Queen Mother do?
"The Queen Mother used to have two relatives, the Xiang brothers, so it was okay not to reuse the internal officials. Now that the Xiang brothers are dead, Guo Kai, her most trusted figure in the palace, is not a big figure, which shows that she is very taboo about internal servants taking power...
As long as she's around, we can't really gain the upper hand!"
"The question is, how long will this old woman stay in power? Do I have to wait for eight years like the late emperor and Empress Dowager Gao Xuan passes away before I can be reused?"
"At my age, I can no longer afford to wait..."
In the past, Tong Guan had always been angry in the palace, but he could still go outside the palace to enjoy the pleasure of being an adult. This time, he could only hold it in his heart. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his eyes became more and more resentful: "Damn it! What's wrong with this old man?"
If you don't get seriously ill, you'll just die!"
The previous murder of Imperial Doctor Xue was actually to make Empress Dowager Xiang die from a serious illness, but now the old lady survived again. Tong Guan gritted his teeth, and suddenly an idea jumped out of his mind: "How about..."
But then he thought about it and shook his head again and again: "No! That's completely different from the imperial doctor... It can't be done! It can't be done!"
After forcing the Empress Dowager to put down the matter, the second headache was Gongsun Zhao. Thinking of Ding Run's greed, Tong Guan summoned another chamberlain:
"Bring a message to Mr. Ding of the Imperial City. I hope that he will be promoted and make a fortune, and that he will prosper!"
…
Kaifeng government office.
Gongsun Zhao sat steadily at his workstation, feeling rarely at ease.
Not long ago, Fan Chunli summoned him and four promotion officials to rearrange their work.
To be precise, he assigned the work in his hands to the promotion officials.
Gongsun Zhao did not blame Fan Chunli this time. The prefect who was supposed to be transferred took the initiative to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture and silently bore the wind and rain from the outside world. Rearranging his work was also a kind of protection.
It's just that he understands the truth, but when Gongsun Zhaozhen was sitting in his seat doing nothing, watching his colleagues and police officers coming and going, he couldn't accept it.
Soon, Qiu Wuzuo was also called out. After a long time, he returned. Gongsun Zhao sniffed and immediately waved to him.
Qiu Wuzuo came over: "Sanlang, it's rare for you to rest, so why do you worry?"
Gongsun Zhaodao: "You have such a strong blood energy, what happened to you?"
Qiu Wu said: "It is indeed Dagu. A large house was completely slaughtered. Pu Bing found it and hurriedly reported it to the government."
So many people died in the six houses, and the sun was scorching again. The smell of corpses in the backyard near the outer wall had already dispersed in one night. The people around him reported to Pu Bing, who went in to check and reported directly to Kaifeng.
Mansion.
Gongsun Zhao frowned: "The Queen Mother asked me not to rush to trace the whereabouts of the thief's leader. Can't I also investigate this kind of thing?"
Qiu Wuzuo lowered his voice and said: "Once you are let out, who knows what kind of eucalyptus you are looking for? And this eucalyptus may really be related to the leader of the thief. I just went to inspect the bodies, and all the dead ones were
Chamberlain..."
Gongsun Zhao's expression changed: "The chamberlains gathered outside the palace... Tong Guan's men? Wu Wozi's men? This thief is so unscrupulous, can he hurt innocent people?"
Qiu Wu said: "I don't know for the time being. I am currently checking the title deed of the house. If it is really related to that Tong Duzhi, I am afraid that there will be a revenge killing... Now that the four officials have gone, they will report to the Ministry of Punishment next.
And Dali Temple, if there really is no self, let them investigate and take credit for it!"
Gongsun Zhao said solemnly: "I hope the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple can catch this person, and never let him cause harm in the capital! I want to go back to rest and recharge my batteries. If the arrest is carried out, I will respond at any time!"
Under Qiu Wuzuo's helpless but admiring gaze, Gongsun Zhao stood up, left the Kaifeng government office, and rode home.
He couldn't afford a house in Bianjing, so he rented a courtyard in the southwest of the city. After putting away his horses, he just pushed the door open and entered, his steps suddenly stopped, and he held the hilt of his sword.
But soon, Gongsun Zhao loosened his hand again and looked at a burly man standing in the courtyard with a long black stick on his shoulder: "Senior brother?"
Ding Run's big head turned around and gave him a toothy smile: "Junior brother, you'd better hold the sword. If someone wants to buy your head from an official position, you'd be willing to do so~"
