"Your Highness, you have to take care of yourself."
In front of the simple tomb, Qin Yu, who was wearing plain clothes, looked sad. Gao Ming stood half a body behind him worriedly, and couldn't help but exhorted: "Ajin...
I probably don’t want you to torment yourself like this.”
"Lao Gao."
Qin Yu made a hoarse voice from his dry throat. He stared at the tombstone and his eyes were slightly red: "Ajin, how did he die!"
The words seemed like questioning and helpless. Tang Jin and he had been good brothers since childhood. After so many years of ups and downs, even in the most difficult times, the three of them worked together and were always able to break through the clouds and see the blue sky.
But now, he has reached an extremely high position, but his former brother is sleeping underground at this moment. Not to mention the truth of the matter, he has not even been able to find the other person's bones.
Looking at the self-deceiving tomb in front of him, Qin Yu felt that at this moment, everything around him, including the flowers, plants and trees, seemed to have turned into smiling faces full of mockery, mocking his incompetence and stupidity.
How can a young man with a strong temperament be able to withstand these conspiracies and tricks?
Seeing Qin Yu's clenched fists, his fingertips embedded in his flesh, and drops of shocking bright red falling to the ground, Gao Ming couldn't bear it, and he sighed: "Your Highness, please stop asking, this matter involves too much, you.
.....It’s better not to know.”
Qin Yu is not someone who is easy to fool. The three of them have worked together for many years. No matter how well Gao Ming concealed it, he finally noticed it.
Although Qin Yu was very sad when he first learned that the other person was sent to him by his mother-in-law, but after thinking about it, he realized that the friendship they had for many years was not fake, it was just an extra layer of connection, and he felt relieved.
But Tang Jin's death was completely unacceptable to him, especially since the other party was ordered to die by his mother and concubine. Qin Yu desperately wanted to know the truth.
But Gao Ming couldn't tell him. After all, the Dongfang family had a far-reaching relationship. Even if it happened, Tang Jin could only continue to wander in the rivers and lakes as a member of the bandits, not to mention that now that the incident had failed, the other party had become the lonely soul of the Dongfang family.
If a wild ghost can be buried as an official of the Imperial Guard, it will be enough for His Highness.
When he thought about this, Gao Ming trembled subconsciously. Those were five hundred people, and they were not five hundred unarmed ordinary people, but five hundred martial arts masters who had been secretly trained by the Dongfang family for several years.
was killed.
Gao Ming didn't believe that Lu Hanjiang could break this unsolvable dilemma on his own. After all, the time, place, and people were absolutely unfavorable. Even if Meng Yuan was replaced, he would probably have to hold the position with resentment. The possibilities he could think of seemed to be
Only if the opponent is ahead of the enemy, or recruits the Jinyi Guards, or borrows the power of the Beggar Gang to destroy them.
But no matter which one it is, it is enough to shock and even scare Gao Ming. You must know that their actions are secretive and fast. Even Meng Yuan, who is close in front of him, is confused. Under such circumstances, those who are far away are confused.
Lu Hanjiang from Jiangnan was actually able to stay one step ahead. This was no longer something that could be summed up by the word "wisdom." He was simply a monster.
Although Gao Ming was the man placed by the Crown Princess to assist Qin Yu, he did not know everything. He only had a partial understanding of some specific details and could only rely on his own calculations.
Since he didn't know the relationship between Dongfang Huang and the Crown Princess, in his opinion, Tang Jin's death was probably done by Lu Hanjiang.
After all, if Tang Jin changed his surname to Dongfang, then he would be a prisoner of the imperial court, and there would be no problem if Lu Zhenfu killed him. If Tang Jin hesitated and did not change his surname, then based on the relationship between the three of them and the Zhenfu envoy,
The other party killed him conveniently, which seems to make sense.
Anyway, there were only two forces present. Since it was not the Dongfang family, it must be Lu Hanjiang... Gao Ming did not dare to tell Qin Yu his speculation. He was worried that His Highness would not be able to bear it and come to question the governor.
Although Gao Ming regarded Tang Jin as his younger brother in his heart and was very sad about his death, he still chose to endure it in the end.
No matter what Her Highness the Crown Princess is planning, the ultimate goal is to support Her Highness to rise to power. At this stage, they do not have the strength to kill with one strike, and it is not appropriate to start a full-scale war with the Jin Yiwei.
Especially except for the Fourth and Seventh Highnesses, the power of the other Highnesses is still at the peak of their power. At this time, they and the Jinyiwei will lose both sides. Isn't it like making wedding clothes for others?
So even if there is all kinds of misery, you have to grit your teeth and swallow it at this time. A small amount of tolerance will mess up the big plan.
Qin Yu stood up and looked at each other silently with Gao Ming. This was a game of wills, but Qin Yu lost in the end. Gao Ming did not tell the truth he knew.
The two of them were silent, and footsteps were heard in the distance. They followed the sound and found out that the person who came was Bian Guang, Deputy Qianhu of Fusi, Beizhen.
"I have met His Highness in my humble position."
Bian Guang smiled and stepped forward to salute. There was no embarrassment at all because of their former superior-subordinate relationship.
Qin Yu looked at Bian Guang expressionlessly and said calmly: "Master Bian, there is no need to be polite."
Bian Guang held some sacrifices in his hand, glanced at the tombs behind the two of them, and said with a smile: "I just went to the East Palace to see His Highness, but I heard from the waiter that Your Highness came to pay homage to Tang Baihu outside the city.
Yes, this is the thoughts of the brothers."
With that said, he crossed the two people and placed the sacrifices in front of Tang Jin's grave.
"Tang Baihu, you and I have worked together for a long time. Today I am here to see you off on behalf of all my colleagues and brothers."
What Bian Guang said was true, but Bian Guang's eyes were on fire, probably because the sacrifices he brought really fulfilled that sentence, and it would be better not to take them.
Bian Guang brought incense candles broken into two pieces, half-burned paper money, and some blackened offerings. These junk things can't be sold for even a few pennies, and even if they are given away for free, they will be spit on. It's purely
Insulting.
When Qin Yu saw this, he immediately became angry and stood up to speak. Now he is no longer the little flag official who could offend anyone.
But Gao Ming was a step faster. He stopped Qin Yu and looked at Bian Guang with a deep gaze. After a long time, a smile appeared on his face: "Is Deputy Bian coming here on behalf of the brothers of Jinyiwei?"
"Exactly, Tang Baihu died a heroic death, but the gangsters who carried out the murder were also killed. We don't intend to pursue this matter."
Bian Guang said disdainfully: "The adults above have spoken. In the final analysis, a useless person from a low-level household who climbed up through the relationship of His Highness will die. We can't do it for such a person who can't stand on the stage."
This thing hurts the harmony, what do you think?"
"You!" Qin Yu was furious, but Gao Ming stopped him firmly.
With his heart churning under strong pressure, Gao Ming looked at Bian Guang intently and asked, "Does Lord Zhenfu know about this?"
Bian Guangdan smiled: "Of course, Mr. Lu has a lot of people. This world is a world of affairs. Wherever the gift came from, it should be returned from there."
Looking at Bian Guang's slightly sarcastic smile, Gao Ming felt a little uneasy. For these big figures in the capital, doing anything requires honor and honor. For the Crown Princess and Lu Hanjiang, the rules of the court are all about honor. This
It is both a means and a bottom line.
Since the other party chose not to talk about it, it means that he will not take revenge in the court, but the rivers and lakes - the rivers and lakes are outside the temple, and since the other party has said where to go and where to go, then, the matter of Meihua Academy,
