That was the chief minister of the cabinet. Gu Dayong actually dared to send someone to assassinate him. How audacious was this? You must know that even Zhu Houzhao never thought that Jiao Fang's assassination would be caused by Gu Dayong.
Chu Yidu was assassinated several times. Although Jiao Fang's assassination was shocking, it was not unacceptable. But what Zhu Houzhao couldn't accept was that the assassination of Jiao Fang was related to Gu Dayong.
As for whether Yuhuatian would deceive himself with false information, Zhu Houzhao did not believe that Yuhuatian would be so unwise. After all, the court would definitely investigate such a big matter as Jiao Fang's assassination.
When the time comes when Dongchang and Jinyiwei join forces, they may not be able to find any clues.
If Yuhuatian dares to do anything in this matter, I'm afraid he won't be able to get anything good by then, and it's not impossible that he might even be beheaded by the emperor.
Staring at Yuhuatian, Zhu Houzhao said in a hoarse voice slowly: "Yuhuatian, are all these things true?"
Papers were scattered on the ground around Yuhuatian who was kneeling there. However, after hearing the emperor's words, Yuhuatian immediately turned to Zhu Houzhao with a serious look on his face and said: "Your Majesty, Yuhuatian is willing to guarantee it with his head. All these information have been verified."
It is true. If there is any untruth, I am willing to be punished by Your Majesty."
Although he had known for a long time that Yuhuatian would not dare to falsify these matters, after hearing what Yuhuatian said, Zhu Houzhao still felt a little disappointed in his heart.
He had such great trust in Gu Dayong that he promoted him to the position of Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies. He could be said to assist the government with the cabinet, and he could definitely be said to be one person below ten thousand people.
Zhu Houzhao thought that if he treated Gu Dayong like this, Gu Dayong should devote himself to serving the country and assisting him in governing the country.
In fact, Chu Yi had done everything so well before, which gave Zhu Houzhao an illusion. Therefore, after Zhu Houzhao promoted Gu Dayong to the top, he still looked at Gu Dayong the same way he looked at Chu Yi.
However, the impeachment of Jiao Fang, Wang Shouren and others and the information obtained from the investigation by Xichang gave Zhu Houzhao a blow in the head and suddenly made him wake up.
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Almost instantly, Zhu Houliang realized that Gu Dayong's existence was all because of him. If he hadn't failed to investigate, how could Gu Dayong have caused so much trouble?
While feeling disappointed and blaming himself, Zhu Houzhao also felt disappointed and hated Gu Dayong.
As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
With Chu Yi as a vivid comparison in front of him, Zhu Houzhao is really as capable as Chu Yi without asking for Gu Dayong, but you should not go too far.
Compared with Chu Yi, Gu Dayong is simply useless.
A burst of rapid footsteps came, and Yu Huatian, who was kneeling there, couldn't help but squint his eyes after hearing the sound. It was not someone who came, but it was Cao Shaoqin, the governor of the East Factory, and Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Because they were summoned secretly, neither Cao Shaoqin nor Qian Ning knew that Yuhuatian was here, so when they saw Yuhuatian here, they paused slightly, and a bit of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Sexy, but it was just to come forward and pay homage to the emperor.
"Greetings to your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live your majesty."
Needless to say, Qian Ning and Cao Shaoqin both came under secret edicts from the emperor.
At this time, the emperor had calmed down a lot and was no longer as excited as before. He glanced at Cao Shaoqin and Qian Ning, and heard Zhu Houzhao say to them: "Cao Shaoqin, Qian Ning, I ask you, Jiao
Who is the mastermind behind the assassination of Mr. Ge?"
"ah!"
Cao Shaoqin and Qian Ning couldn't help being shocked, and they looked at each other subconsciously.
To be honest, although Gu Dayong said that he had all the power in the government and ruled the world with one hand, his foundation was too shallow after all. With the depth of the eyes of Dongchang, Jinyiwei and even Xichang in the capital, Gu Dayong's move of sending someone to assassinate Jiao Fang might be possible.
You can hide it for a while, but you can never hide it forever.
As soon as the case came out, Cao Shaoqin and Qian Ning immediately sent their most capable officers to investigate the case of Jiao Fang's assassination. After all, such major cases were either handed over to Dongchang or Jinyiwei, even if they were
If they are not directly responsible, the emperor will also send them to assist in investigating the case, so it is natural for them to investigate the case in advance.
Thinking about it, Cao Shaoqin and Cao Shaoqin were both human beings. If Yuhuatian was not here, the two of them might have made some excuses, but when they saw Yuhuatian, the two of them felt great pressure.
Cao Shaoqin was heard saying to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to investigate, but the results of the investigation point to..."
Seeing Cao Shaoqin's hesitant look, Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Who are you pointing at? How can such a mother-in-law behave like this!"
Cao Shaoqin immediately said: "Your Majesty, according to Dongchang's investigation, the person behind the assassination of Mr. Jiao Ge is the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, Gu Dayong, General Manager Gu!"
Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyiwei, also said at the side: "All the clues of our Jinyiwei's investigation also point to General Manager Gu!"
Whether it was Dongchang, Xichang or Jinyiwei, it can be said that the final investigation results all pointed to Gu Dayong. In this way, it can be concluded that the assassination of Jiao Fang was planned by Gu Dayong.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao said in a hoarse voice: "Qian Ning, Cao Shaoqin, Yuhuatian, I order you to go and bring Gu Dayong to me, immediately, immediately!"
They looked at each other and saw Cao Shaoqin, Yuhuatian, Qian Ning and others immediately stood up and left.
But at this moment, Gu Dayong appeared at Jiao Fang's mansion with several servants.
Jiao Fang's residence was now guarded by a group of palace guards. After all, Jiao Fang was assassinated, and the emperor showed concern for him and personally sent imperial guards to guard him, to show the emperor's regard and concern for Jiao Fang.
When Gu Dayong appeared at Jiao Fang's mansion, several imperial guards stopped Gu Dayong with a look of embarrassment and said: "Manager Gu, we follow His Majesty's decree and no other people are allowed to enter.
"
Gu Dayong couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and said in a sharp voice: "What, do you know who our family is? You are so brave, you dare to block our family's road."
The guard's face turned a little pale. After all, no one knew that Gu Dayong had the power to rule the country. Who didn't know that if he offended Gu Dayong, there would be no good consequences. However, as guards, they were ordered to guard the Jiao Mansion.
, if Gu Dayong is allowed in, it would be against the imperial edict.
Gritting his teeth, he heard the guard say: "Please forgive me, the chief steward. We are acting under the emperor's order. Unless the chief steward has your majesty's decree, otherwise, please forgive me for our rudeness."
Gu Dayong gave the guards who were blocking him a fierce look. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Gu Dayong had a fierce reputation, and he only frightened the guards to the point of turning pale.
"Hmph, our family is here to visit Mr. Jiao Fangge on His Majesty's orders, why don't you get out of the way quickly!"
Several imperial guards heard this and knew that unless Gu Dayong was crazy, they would not dare to falsely convey the emperor's will here. Therefore, since Gu Dayong said he came under orders, he really came under orders.
"Your regards, Chief Steward!"
The imperial guard quickly dodged and opened the door to Gu Dayong.
At this moment, Gu Dayong walked into the Jiao Mansion. When he passed by several guards, Gu Dayong smiled sinisterly at the guards who had stopped him before and said: "You guys are very good.
Our family has recorded it!”
With a flash of body, several guards almost fainted due to the excitement of Gu Da's words. Being targeted by such a notorious general manager, one can almost imagine how miserable they will be in the future.
Jiao Fang is old and has only a few servants in the family. His first wife is even more frail. The second son in the family has average qualifications, but he has lost his title. The family is not bad at all.
Jiao Fang was the backbone of the Jiao family. Now that the pillar almost collapsed, it frightened more than a dozen members of the Jiao family, old and young.
Jiao Wenyuan, who was walking out of Jiao Fang's room, couldn't help but change his expression when he saw Gu Dayong. As Jiao Fang's eldest son, how could Jiao Wenyuan not recognize Gu Dayong, his father's biggest rival.
Seeing Gu Dayong, Jiao Wenyuan was frightened but at the same time he tried to calm down and took a step forward: "Jiao Wenyuan has seen the general manager, but he didn't know that the general manager is here..."
He glanced at Jiao Wenyuan indifferently, and heard Gu Dayong say to Jiao Wenyuan: "Where is your lord? We have come to visit Mr. Jiao Ge according to your Majesty's order."
Jiao Wenyuan looked excited, raised his hands in the direction of the Forbidden City, and said without any disrespect: "Jiao Wenyuan thanks your Majesty for your kindness."
Waving his hand, Gu Da said to Jiao Wenyuan impatiently: "Take our family to see Mr. Jiao Ge."
However, Jiao Wenyuan slowly shook his head and said: "My father has just gone to bed, can the chief manager be accommodating and not disturb my father's rest?"
However, Gu Dayong's expression changed, he stared at Jiao Wenyuan and said angrily: "Jiao Wenyuan, are you trying to disobey the decree?"
Gu Dayong labeled him as disrespectful of the imperial edict. The Jiao family couldn't bear this label. Jiao Wenyuan almost fainted when his body swayed.
At this moment, a hoarse voice came from the room and said: "Since Manager Gu is here, please come in."
When Gu Dayong heard Jiao Fang's hoarse voice, he couldn't help but raise his head and look towards the room. Then he heard a creak, the originally closed door opened, and a figure walked out. It was Jiao Fang's second son, Jiao Wenbo.
.
"Hahaha, Mr. Jiao Ge, our family has followed His Majesty's orders. I wonder how injured the bones in Mr. Jiao Ge's body are."
While speaking, Gu Dayong stepped into the room, and a pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine suddenly hit his face, while Jiao Fang was lying on the bed, staring at him with burning eyes.
Seeing Gu Dayong, Jiao Fang's eyes flashed and she said: "My life is too tough. The King of Hell refuses to accept it. It seems that he wants to disappoint you, the Chief Manager."
