On the same day, Liu Zhao and King Ning were respectively ambushed.
They are all on the road they must pass.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and no one was injured.
With a gloomy face, Gu Jiu stared at Liu Zhao and drank the health-preserving soup.
Liu Zhao felt a little guilty for no reason.
Gu Jiu's expression of not smiling was very intimidating.
"I'm not hurt," he said again.
Gu Jiu snorted, "You didn't get hurt this time, but it doesn't mean you won't get hurt next time. Tell me, what are you and your father planning?"
Liu Zhao said: "No plan. Our father and king have already given up on this matter and did not continue to investigate. All the materials have been handed over to the Jinwu Guard, and the Jinwu Guard and the Prisoner of the Shaofu are investigating this matter."
"fart!"
It's okay to coax others, but Gu Jiu doesn't believe a single word.
"You and your father were ambushed in different places on the same day. It sounded like a plan to me. The person who ambushed you couldn't have been hired by you and your father."
Liu Zhao gave her a blank look, "Nonsense. Is this young master very free? I spend my own money to hire someone to ambush me. I'm not tired of work."
"You are not tired of living, but you think other people live too long."
Gu Jiu was very upset, Liu Zhao was taking a risk.
Liu Zhao laughed and hugged her, "You really think too much, it's not what you thought at all. Those people jumped over the wall in a hurry and wanted to take the heads of my father and me. But don't worry, It'll be fine."
Gu Jiu pushed him away and stared at him suspiciously, "Isn't it you and your father who are singing oboe?"
Liu Zhao said affirmatively: "Heaven and earth have conscience, I will not lie to you if I lie to anyone."
Liu Zhao's eyes were so sincere that he almost swears.
Gu Jiu frowned, and asked, "Did you do something to irritate the other party?"
Liu Zhao said lightly: "Two days ago, my father went for a stroll around the palace. It is probably because of this incident that those people were stimulated. I have already reported to the Jinwu Guard that my father and I encountered an ambush. It will be reported to the emperor's grandfather by the Jinwu Guard."
Gu Jiu grimaced, "Things can't go on like this. This case has too much influence, not just the court. From the capital to the local area, and from the local area to the court. There are already voices of opposition from the court. If you are not sure, you can uproot the case Except, then you can only choose to accept it as soon as you see it."
Seeing that Liu Zhao was unmoved, Gu Jiu continued: "You can't offend everyone for the sake of those people who can't see the light. The emperor is already crazy, because of fear. But we can't be crazy. Unless you are sure to kill the other party uprooting, but also cutting the grass and roots.”
Liu Zhao frowned.
Gu Jiu grabbed his hand, "You are only the emperor's grandson now, you have limited authority, you can't do whatever you want, and it's impossible for His Majesty to support you in investigating the case.
You don't have the right to handle the case, it's useless to rely on your own strength to investigate the case in private. If you want to completely cut off this group of people, you must integrate all your forces to ensure that one hit is sure to hit.
We are going to wait, patiently. The lid has been lifted, and those people are like rats crossing the street, and it is impossible to act recklessly as in the past.
And you have caught their tails, wait a few years for him, and when the time is right, it will not be too late to uproot him. "
Liu Zhao stared at her, "You really think so?"
Gu Jiu looked at him, "I also want to hit the snake seven inches to solve the problem at once. But reason tells me, no. At least this time it can't be done.
Let's take it as soon as we see it. The Li family is finished, and Concubine Li De is half finished. You know what, I worry about you.
I don't want to live in fear. Before I want to eat or drink, I have to think about whether I have been poisoned? When you don't want to go out, you also have to worry about whether someone will ambush you. Promise me, take care of yourself. "
Liu Zhao said with a straight face, "It's not impossible to accept it when you see it. But before you stop, you must beat those people painfully, so that they don't dare to act rashly."
Gu Jiu looked at him nervously, "What do you want to do?"
"Murder, of course!"
Liu Zhao's words were concise, but murderous.
Gu Jiu only said one thing, "Don't put yourself in danger."
…
Heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers.
For half a month, Caishikou was killing people every day, killing corpses and blood.
Actors, prostitutes, eunuchs, maids of honor, officials, regardless of their status, were taken to the vegetable market every day to be beheaded for public display.
The people in the capital were quite interested in going to the vegetable market to join in the fun at first.
But when the killing lasted for five days, ten days, everyone became numb.
The little people who have nothing to do with themselves are also afraid.
Later, no one went to the vegetable market to join in the fun and watch the strange things.
Only the corpse collector came and left silently.
An atmosphere of fear spread over the capital.
It can't go on like this.
Few people can withstand such high pressure.
If the pressure continues, people must be forced to rebel.
The court started a big discussion, and the game was torn apart.
Use various methods to dissuade the emperor.
If you really can't dissuade them, put pressure on them.
What pressure do you see
Of course, relying on natural disasters and man-made disasters, relying on military pressure.
Only when these major issues related to the great Zhou country and society are in front of us, can the emperor struggle out of fear and stop the butcher knife in his hand.
When the emperor's eyes shifted from the kidnapping case to natural and man-made disasters, the courtiers, regardless of civil or military, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the emperor is still sane and not completely insane.
With government affairs in front of him, the emperor had to calm down.
The bloody smell in the vegetable market gradually dissipated, and the sky above the capital city gradually brightened and cleared up again.
From the high-ranking officials to the common people, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, there is no need to suffocate the ordinary life.
In Xingqing Palace, the servants around the emperor changed a lot of new faces.
Chen Dachang is like the God of Dinghai, still serving the emperor, and still one of the most trusted people of the emperor.
Chen Dachang successfully passed the investigation and many tests. Although he suffered a lot during this period, fortunately, the result was good.
A dozen or so adult princes stood in a row in the hall, listening to the hadith.
The son of heaven is rare and pleasant, and he told many sons the big truth and the little things.
After this incident, the emperor seemed to have figured out a lot of things.
Looking at the eyes of many princes, he is not as disgusted as in the past.
King Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the old man recovered a little sanity at least, which is gratifying.
But King Ning was not happy for too long.
The emperor is still the emperor, always holding grudges.
Kindness and righteousness can be forgotten, but hatred must never be forgotten.
The emperor did not forget that King Ning lifted the lid.
The Son of Heaven made an excuse very casually, "Drag King Ning down, and beat him hard with twenty boards."
King Ning opened his mouth to call for grievances, but just as he opened his mouth, a few nimble little Huangmen blocked his mouth with towels.
Xiaohuangmen was in a hurry to carry King Ning down.
Soon the sound of bamboo shoots frying meat sounded outside the hall.
All the princes trembled in unison, King Ning is really miserable.
The emperor's eyes swept across the faces of each son.
The gaze is full of inquiry, curiosity, evaluation.
The princes were apprehensive, their hearts beating drums.
The emperor announced his decision when King Ning finished beating the board and was carried into the hall half dead.
The emperor asked every adult prince to go out of the capital and inspect the place.
As soon as this remark came out, the princes were shocked.
This is unprecedented.
The Great Zhou Dynasty never allowed princes to leave Beijing.
Is it appropriate for the emperor to change the rules of the ancestors and put the princes in the same place
King Ning held his breath, and shouted in his heart: Damn!
It was said before that the old man recovered a little sanity, but he was slapped in the face in a blink of an eye.
You must know that the emperor is old, and accidents may occur at any time.
At this time, arrange for the adult prince to go out of Beijing to inspect the place. This visit, at least half a year or a year.
If during this period, the emperor is gone, and the adult princes are not in the capital, I am afraid that the world will change color.
At that time, who will the throne belong to
Could it be that the emperor still misses the little prince
Can't!
King Ning lay on his back in our class, his eyes widened, and he stared at the Son of Heaven uneasily.
What kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd
Why drive all their brothers out of the capital
yes!
King Ning used the word 'drive'.
In name they were asked to inspect the place, but in fact they were driven out of the capital.
And it's at a crucial moment.
"Son disagrees."
King Ning was the first to stand up and object.
He is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, he has already been beaten with a board, and he is not afraid of being beaten again.
"My son is used to the food and weather in the capital, so he doesn't want to go out to inspect places. Besides, the weather is cold now. If he goes out of Beijing at this time, he may die on the way. Also, my son doesn't understand local government affairs. When he goes to a place, he will only pay the local It will be a burden for the government. It is better for the son to stay in the palace honestly and not cause trouble to anyone."
The emperor snorted twice, "Did I say that you can go out of Beijing with a guard of honor? Dreaming! You are not allowed to reveal your identity until the moment of life and death."
"Father, after hearing what you said, my son will object even more." King Ning continued his efforts.
The emperor scolded angrily, "You have no right to object. I have made up my mind, go back and pack your bags, and leave in three days. Someone will come out of Beijing with you at that time."
King Ning wanted to play tricks and mess around.
But the ass hurts, the hardware doesn't cooperate.
Hey, he can only let Xiao Huangmen carry him out of the palace.
Zhao Wang followed Ning Wang to watch the joke.
"Brother Wang was beaten for nothing, can you still stand it?"
King Ning rolled his eyes, "Don't worry if you're tired, I'm fine."
"Brother Wang is still very angry when he speaks, so I feel relieved. Brother Wang should be more careful next time when he speaks, and be careful not to be punished again."
After finishing speaking, King Zhao laughed out loud.
After Zhao Wang laughed, he walked in front and quickly disappeared from Ning Wang's sight.
King Ning hummed and cursed secretly.
When King Ning was carried back to the palace, Mrs. Pei was terrified and almost thought that King Ning had been confiscated.
When she learned that King Ning had just been beaten, Pei's expression changed, and he said lightly, "Twenty slaps are just enough to kill the prince. Is the imperial doctor here? Let the imperial doctor treat the prince."
The executioners in the palace are very measured.
King Ning is a prince, so when they hit the board, they automatically released water. It's just a flesh injury, so it's guaranteed not to hurt the bones.
If it were someone else, with 20 boards, if you fight hard, you can kill people on the spot.
King Ning groaned and shouted at Mrs. Pei, "This king has been beaten twenty times."
Pei raised her eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "My lord, don't bark. I know that your lord was beaten twenty boards. Didn't this hurt your bones? With some medicine, you'll be fine in three to five days."
King Ning was very dissatisfied, and shouted again: "This king was beaten twenty boards."
Pei secretly rolled her eyes. Immediately afterwards, it was like a magic trick, his face changed, he looked frightened, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes.
After squeezing, I finally squeezed out two tears.
Then Pei shouted in panic, "My lord, are you okay? You scared the concubine to death. God, why did you get hurt so badly? Where is the imperial doctor? Is everyone dead? Hurry up and invite the imperial doctor. If the lord There are three pros and two shorts, and this princess will not spare you."
King Ning hummed twice, pretending to be disgusted, but said in a very gentle tone: "Okay, stop screaming. My king's injury is not as serious as you think."
"Really?"
Pei tried her best to suppress her tears, "Looking at the prince covered in blood, I was almost frightened to death. You are fine, I am finally relieved. The prince will take care of himself in the future, and don't contradict your majesty again."
"The old man is so foolish, he still doesn't allow me to say a few words."
Pei wiped her tears, "My lord doesn't think about himself, at least he has to think about the children."
"Okay, okay, just you nagging, I will pay attention to propriety in the future."
Pei turned her face away and rolled her eyes, feeling extremely disgusted.
A lot of age, still pretending to be a child, and still needing to be coaxed. shameless.
After a few words of concern from Mrs. Pei, King Ning felt at ease now.
The imperial doctor came and checked it out, "It doesn't matter, you can get out of bed and move about tomorrow with the medicine applied externally."
"So fast?" Pei was surprised.
The imperial doctor said casually: "It's just a little skin trauma, it doesn't matter."
He didn't even prescribe oral medicine, only external medicine, and the imperial doctor left with the medicine box.
Mrs. Pei thought, King Ning suffered twenty boards, and no one fell seriously.
The people in the palace released the water this time, a little too much.
This is not releasing water, this is clearly a breach of the embankment.
Seeing that King Ning's injury was so slight that he could get out of bed tomorrow, Mrs. Pei immediately lost her patience and was too lazy to coax him.
"My lord, you are a child. I still have a lot of things to do, so I will leave first. I will visit you later."
King Ning was annoyed, "I'm hurt, why don't you take care of me?"
Mrs. Pei laughed, "My lord is so injured, I don't need to wait on you. You can lie down, and I will take my leave."
Mrs. Pei walked swiftly.
King Ning was so angry that he was half dead.
He asked Chang En, "Is this king so annoying? Old husband and wife, just like this attitude? It's just so impatient to have a conversation with this king."
Chang En wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to. I can only hold back.
"The prince calm down, the princess may be really busy."
"Get busy! What is more important than this king's injury."
Chang En really wanted to say that King Ning's injury was really not considered an injury.
At most it's a little skin scratches.
He even wondered if the people from the Punishment Department in the palace were playing cotton.
Little did they know, all of this was in Gu Jiu's favor.
Why do you say that
Gu Jiu's Yuhua Lane Wharf is carrying more and more cargo every day, and the income is accumulating, and many shareholders are happy.
Among them is the boss of the Punishment Division.
However, the boss of the Punishment Division did not buy shares in his own name, but through Shaofu.
Originally, I just wanted to earn some pocket money, but the result was pleasantly surprised.
The seemingly insignificant small business, under Gu Jiu's single-handed operation, has also become a sharp weapon for attracting money.
As long as the current mode of operation is maintained, a considerable dividend will be paid every year. By the way, you can arrange your family to work on the pier.
This move is neither illegal nor against the rules, and it does not violate the palace rules, and it can get money. The result is that everyone is happy.
Ning Wang was beaten.
For the sake of King Ning being Gu Jiu's father, the boss of the Punishment Department released the water himself, who would dare not obey.
Twenty boards down, it is slightly better than playing cotton.
It's no wonder that imperial physicians are not willing to prescribe medicine, wasting medicinal materials.
…
The Shaofu's order sent Gu Jiu a post, asking Gu Jiu to come over for tea when he has time.
Gu Jiu was very happy when he received the post.
She took the opportunity to taunt Liu Zhao, "During all these years, has Master Jia Ling ever invited you to drink tea?"
Liu Zhao's complexion turned cold, and he breathed out from his nostrils, "I am not rare."
Smelly Tsundere!
It's clearly envy, jealousy and hatred.
Gu Jiu flicked the invitation card, "Look, this is character. The Shaofu's family order personally issued the invitation card and invited me to drink tea."
show off!
Chi Guoguo snarled.
Liu Zhao took the post and opened it for a look, and recognized at a glance that it was an invitation written by the Shaofu's family order.
He secretly glanced at Gu Jiu, it's quite a face.
As the highest-ranking person in the clan, the Shaofu's family order is a generation higher than the emperor, and he controls the money and money of the Shaofu. He just asks someone to bring a word to anyone he meets. Where do you need to specially invite invitations.
After several visits to the capital, except for the emperor and the empresses in the harem, no one should be qualified to let the Shaofu family order personally issue invitations.
Unfortunately, Gu Jiu actually received an invitation from the Shaofu's family order, and it was written by the Shaofu's family order himself.
This is very unusual.
Gu Jiu snorted, "Are you envious?"
Liu Zhao turned his head, even if he was envious, this young master would not utter a word.
