Chapter 999: Guilt

();

This time it was beyond Gu Chengyu's expectations, this is indeed a masterpiece. However, the owner of the blood book was not Xia Qing, but Zhang Shuo, Xia Qing's disciple.

After Gu Chengyu was surprised, he carefully checked the contents of the blood book.

"The minister is guilty!

The criminal minister had already taken refuge in Daxing ten years ago, when the criminal minister had just been promoted to the rank of Langzhong of the Criminal Department. At that time, the people of Daxing found the guilty ministers and lured them with gold and silver. The criminal was confused for a while, did something wrong, and felt guilty all the time. However, it was too late, how could those people with wolf ambitions let go of the criminals?

Because of this, the sinner also affected the teacher. When the teacher learned about this yesterday, he wanted to take the blame for the guilty. The chief of the Tianji Dao was originally recommended to the teacher by the guilty ministers, and the teacher did not doubt him, so he recommended it to the emperor again.

The sinner was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he even affected his teacher, but now he repents and just wants to return his teacher to justice. All the evidence of the crime is in a small courtyard on South Street, and the criminals know that the mistakes they have committed are intolerable. How can such a disloyal and unfilial person survive in the world?

Today, the sinner committed suicide here, hoping to return the innocence of his teacher! ”

Gu Chengyu read the blood book in one go, and he had to admire, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen!

What the hell, can you still have this kind of operation? It's all come to this point, is there still a chance to turn around?

Anyway, if Gu Chengyu was killed, he would not believe that Zhang Shuo was the mastermind.

But before Xia Qing came to the palace, if all the evidence was planted to Zhang Shuo, then Xia Qing had a great chance of turning the tables.

The prince said that he could not find evidence of Xia Qing's collusion with foreign countries in the Xia Mansion, and at this time there was a blood letter of Zhang Shuo's confession, all of which was calculated.

He didn't know if Zhang Shuo had colluded with Xia Qing to Daxing, but he thought that Xia Qing must be the mastermind.

Judging from Xia Qing's performance in the past, it must be because he thinks that Dayan will be subverted sooner or later, so what are these princes?

"Your Highness! Dare to ask Zhang Shuo if he can be saved? Gu Chengyu pinched the blood book in his hand and looked at the prince who was staring at him.

The prince shook his head, looking rather regretful, "He swallowed the two gold rings hidden in his sleeve, and finally died. ”

Gu Chengyu sighed, what can threaten Zhang Shuo is nothing more than his family. If Xia Qing is guilty, then Zhang Shuo will definitely not be able to escape the involvement. So when Zhang Shuo learned that the teacher had pushed all the incriminating evidence on his head, his feelings in his heart can be imagined.

But the matter is a foregone conclusion, and Zhang Shuo also has to think about his family. The ancients attached great importance to the succession of ancestors, and they must not cut off the incense.

Xia Qing's methods are nothing more than those kinds, and if he can't say it, he will start with the other party's heirs. For example, threatening the life of the other party's sister-in-law, and so on.

However, this trick has been tried and tested, and parents, of course, want to protect their children. So in the end, I could only swallow my anger and sacrifice myself.

But this Xia Qing is really ruthless, Zhang Shuo is his disciple, he was very respectful to him in the past, and Xia Qing was willing to push Zhang Shuo out.

It is not easy for a right-hand man to climb to the position of the third pin. If it weren't for the emperor's permission, Zhang Shuo's rank would never have been able to stay in the capital as an official with Xia Qing, and I am afraid that he would have been released by the emperor a long time ago.

From this point of view, the emperor is not thin on Xia Qing! Xia Qing has been calling for wind and rain in the court over the years, so he is not majestic.

In this way, Xia Qing even wanted to rebel. Shoufu is already a first-class member, what else does the other party want? Gu Chengyu was a little incomprehensible to Xia Qing's move.

Suddenly, he had an idea, could it be that Xia Qing still wanted to be the emperor himself?

Well? Gu Chengyu thought about it and felt that this was not impossible.

But Xia Qing colluded with Daxing, but Daxing is so eyeing Dayan, if it is annexed, where is Dayan?

Now he really doesn't understand, what Xia Qing is trying to do this.

"Your Highness! What do you think of the content on this blood book? "Gu Chengyu's idea can't replace the superior, it depends on what the prince thinks.

If he wants Xia Qing to be innocent, then the content of this blood book is true. If the prince doesn't want to, then he will definitely pursue it.

Gu Chengyu naturally thinks that people like Xia Qing who collude with Daxing should not be kept, but if you want to get rid of the other party, it can't be now. But I am afraid that the prince is willing to believe in Xia Qing, and the purpose is naturally self-evident.

The emperor's balancing technique, he saw that the prince was also quite proficient.

Looking at the DPRK and China, there are very few people with outstanding abilities at present. If you want to support one more person against him, it will definitely take a lot of energy. Moreover, he still has a handle in his hand that makes it difficult for the prince to sleep.

The crown prince pondered for a moment, and then frowned and asked, "What does Master Gu think?" Do you think this Zhang Shuo is the mastermind of collusion with foreign countries? ”

Gu Chengyu couldn't help but feel uneasy when he saw that the prince threw the question back again, it seemed that the prince's plan was contrary to his plan.

"Your Highness! Xia Guan thought that as mentioned in this blood book, Zhang Shuo colluded with Daxing when he was still in the Criminal Department, which could match the time of recommending Tianji Daochang. It's just that Zhang Shuo was only a fifth-grade Langzhong back then, why did the other party choose a low-grade official? Why did this Chinese military officer only choose Zhang Shuo? ”

Gu Chengyu threw the question back to the prince, and he wanted to test the prince's thoughts.

"That's naturally because Zhang Shuo is a disciple of Xia Qing, and Xia Qing, as a first-class first assistant, naturally has a lot of authority in the court. For their great cause, it is not surprising that Zhang Shuo was chosen. The prince replied without thinking.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Since the other party wants to borrow Xia Shoufu's power, after Zhang Shuo took the bait, didn't they collude with Xia Shoufu?" I believe Zhang Shuo will definitely recommend it for them, right? ”

Hearing this, the prince suddenly raised his head and glanced at Gu Chengyu, is this leading himself into the pit? But what to do with Xia Qing, he really hasn't thought about it now.

"You mean that even if Xia Qing didn't get involved, it wasn't that he didn't know about it. He must have known what his disciple had done, but he had been hiding it and not revealing it? ”

Gu Chengyu's heart sank, and he said after a while: "Not everyone can do it to kill relatives in righteousness, but how can His Highness think that Xia Qing is not involved?" Maybe ......"

"He's the mastermind?"

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he looked at the prince, and the prince's performance just now made him a little disappointed.

Xia Qing is a traitor who colludes with foreign countries, if he leaves this kind of person in the court just because he wants to balance the power of the court, then he really has to think about whether his previous decision was right or wrong.

The prince pondered for a while, and thought for a long time before he said: "But there is no evidence of his collusion with foreign countries in Xia Qing's mansion, and there is no evidence that the palace wants to send him down." What's more, everything is our speculation now, let's wait until we find out, and then discuss how to deal with it! ”

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, is this perfunctory, or does he really think so in his heart?
