"Your Majesty, the night before yesterday, there was a fire in a house in the south of the city. I sent officers and soldiers to put out the fire at night. The fire was extinguished and the safety of the people was protected. However, I discovered that the house here was the head of a gang called the Brotherhood that often harmed the people. Moreover, I It was also discovered that the Brotherhood had actually imprisoned a high-ranking member of the court, so the ministers did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they reported it to the Holy One!"
After hearing this, Gao Ming's facial muscles twitched a few times, and he looked at Du Zhongyang with eyes that wanted to kill someone!
As soon as Du Zhongyang mentioned that it was related to the high officials in the court, the ministers immediately showed various expressions, some were worried and some were gloating, because they all knew that this high-ranking official in the court was extremely wise. [ ] There was also a big one. Some people know clearly that they are referring to cleverness, but they deliberately make expressions of extreme surprise, as if they don't know anything.
"Oh, Du Aiqing, a high-ranking official in my court is actually involved with such a dirty little gang. Please tell me what's going on?" Long Sheng immediately became interested when he heard this.
"It's like this. That night, a fire broke out in a house in the south of the city. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to spread to other houses. If it was not put out, the consequences would be disastrous! I immediately arranged for officers and soldiers to fight for nearly two hours before putting out the fire. After putting out the fire, the officers and soldiers found dead bodies at the fire scene, but they were not burned to death, but killed by others. The officers and soldiers were often taught by their ministers to analyze carefully and be good at thinking. Those officers and soldiers immediately rushed around to help put out the fire. The people in Huo asked about the situation, and found out that the people living here are all members of the Brotherhood, who usually bully good people and arouse public anger!"
"At that time, the officers and soldiers arrested a group of people. These people were all very human, with first or second level physical strength. The ministers personally interrogated them, and they confessed the matter of the Brotherhood and a major event!"
Speaking of this, Du Zhongyang looked around at the ministers around him, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"What's the big deal?" Long Sheng asked impatiently.
Seeing that Du Zhongyang still had some scruples, Long Sheng said: "Du Aiqing, please tell me, no matter who is the official in the court, as long as you are right, I will stand by you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Du Zhongyang seemed to have some confidence and courage after hearing this. He glanced at Gaoming and continued: "They confessed that the son of a high-ranking official in the court actually paid them a huge sum of money to kill someone. , but it seems that things were not done. The official was afraid that the news would be exposed, so he sent people to kill people and silence them. Those dead bodies are the witnesses who were killed!"
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Long Sheng's eyes flashed, and a pair of old eyes swept through the civil and military ministers present. He quickly discovered Gao Ming's unnaturalness, and he immediately thought of something.
"Yes, the members of the Brotherhood also said that several members of their gang who lived in another place were killed before. Those people were direct participants in the incident, and one of them miraculously escaped. .This time the killer found the location and killed the first person who escaped. They heard with their own ears that the gang member named Bago shouted something before he died. I don't know whether to say this or not!" Du Zhongyang said.
"Of course I have to talk!" Long Sheng affirmed.
Du Zhongyang took a deep breath, looked very embarrassed, and then said: "That gangster named Bage, before he died, he shouted: Gao Sheng, I will never let you go even if I am a ghost!"
After saying that, he immediately bowed to Long Sheng and said: "Your Majesty, ministers and ministers, these words came from the mouth of the gangster, and there is no lie. This matter happened within the scope of Shangjing City, so it should be mine. When I go to the capital to order you to take charge, I don’t want to wrongly accuse a good person, nor do I want to target anyone. I just want to have a bright and prosperous world at the feet of the emperor!”
This was said so well that the ministers were silenced in advance to avoid any criticism from them. These words were not said by him, but by the brothers and gangsters. He just copied them and had no direct responsibility with him.
Although I had known that Du Zhongyang was targeting Gao Ming when he said this, there was a big difference between the matter being revealed and not being revealed. Now that Du Zhongyang said this directly in front of the Holy Master, all the ministers became excited.
Gao Sheng, are there two Gao Shengs in the capital? The answer is no. Everyone knows that Gao Sheng is Gao Ming's son, the young master of the official family!
When Gao Ming heard this, he was even more shocked. He secretly cursed Du Zhongyang countless times. As soon as he said this, he became the target of public criticism. All the ministers looked at him, even though he had gone through countless hardships. , after experiencing countless big scenes, I still couldn't help but sweat dripping from my forehead.
When Gao Ming was about to defend himself, Du Zhongyang said before him: "Your Majesty, what I have said is true. Those gangsters are all imprisoned in the prison. If your Majesty and other ministers don't believe it, you can interrogate them in person. I don't think I have any doubts." What a lie!"
"Everyone be quiet!" After hearing His Majesty's words, all the ministers calmed down. Long Sheng looked at Gao Ming, whose forehead was covered with sweat, and continued to ask: "Du Aiqing, this high-sheng name is also in Shangjing City. If you can find several names with the same name, how can you be sure that he is the son of Gao Aiqing, the official minister, and is related to Gao Aiqing?"
Long Sheng was also unambiguous, directly naming Gao Ming in one sentence!
When Gao Ming saw the Holy One calling his name, he immediately knelt down and shouted: "I have been wronged. Please make the decision for me, Your Majesty!"
Du Zhongyang immediately rushed to speak: "I also feel that something is fishy. How could a young master from the official family have anything to do with such a despicable gang that only does bad things? So I asked those gang members again and again. , in the end, they all insisted that the Gao Sheng mentioned by the Eighth Brother was Gao Sheng, the young master of the Gao Da family! The minister asked Gao Sheng what he wanted them to do and who he wanted to harm. But they couldn't tell because the people involved in the crime were all killed by the killer. .”
Because it was Hua Shenguang, the young master of Huafu, who was poisoned, when Li Dasheng and Brother Dongfang knew about it, they immediately gave Bage a hush-hush order so that he could not tell other gang members. So these gang members only knew that Gao Sheng used money to let them When you do something to kill, you don't know who you want to kill. This is why Du Zhongyang can't ask.
At this time, the Chief of Ceremonies came out to defend Gao Ming. He said, "Based on the words of these gangsters, it would be too hasty for Mr. Du to doubt our high officials at will, right?"
Du Zhongyang was extremely happy. This ceremonial officer was really worried. He was worried that no one would say anything to lead him to the next step. The ceremonial officer said something so philosophical and considerate, which just helped him lead to the next piece of evidence!
"Yes, Wei Chen did not believe it at first. How could he believe what these gangsters said? However, when Wei Chen searched the place where the gangsters lived, he actually found a throwing knife!" As he said that, Du Zhongyang presented the throwing knife to Became the ceremonial officer.
This ceremonial officer is a veteran in the palace and one of Long Sheng's personal guards. He is a master of the seventh level of the physical body and is very familiar with the martial arts practitioners in the capital.
