The ceremonial officer looked at the flying knife and said: "Go back to the Holy Spirit, this flying knife is the side weapon of a martial arts practitioner who specializes in flying knife Kung Fu and is known as the 'Xuanxuan Flying Knife'. ", claiming to be mysterious and mysterious, flying knives kill people! Every time a flying knife is thrown, one person will die by the knife!"
"Oh, then how come this flying knife has something to do with Gao Aiqing?" Long Sheng asked. [ ]
"Your Majesty, I don't know. This person named 'Xuan Dao' is one of Master Gao's bodyguards!" the ceremonial officer said truthfully.
Long Sheng suddenly understood, as if he finally understood, and asked Gao Ming directly: "Gao Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"
"Going back to the Holy Spirit, the 'Xuan Dao' is indeed a guard in the minister's mansion, but Wei Chen has not seen him for a few days. Wei Chen also sent people to look for him everywhere. As for why this flying knife appeared in Master Du's hands, Chen I really don’t know! Maybe Mr. Du got it somewhere else?” With a few words, Gao Ming cleared the matter up, and even bit Du Zhongyang in the face. If the flying knife he got somewhere else, it turned out to be a fake. It was found at the fire scene, so Mr. Du has another purpose.
"Du Aiqing, what do you think?" Long Sheng asked Du Zhongyang again.
"Your Majesty, whether this flying knife came from somewhere else, all the officers and soldiers who found the flying knife can testify! This is the only thing I know about the situation. Because this matter involves Mr. Gao, I cannot make the decision without authorization. I will report to the Holy Majesty and all the ministers what I know, and ask the Holy Majesty and all of you to come to a clear conclusion!" Du Zhongyang's goal has been achieved, and he completely shied away his responsibility in two sentences. He just told the matter. Come out and ask everyone to make a decision, and there will be no question of slandering anyone.
Since everyone is asked to make a decision, if there is a problem, it is everyone’s problem!
"My dear friends, what do you think?" This Long Sheng always acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and he never expressed his opinion on anything. He only asked the ministers below.
"Go back to your Majesty, since the gangster said that he is related to Mr. Gao Sheng, then call Mr. Gao and we will find out after asking him!" said an official below.
"Yes, we should call Gao Sheng and ask him why he committed murder and arson." Another guy who was afraid of the world being in chaos directly charged Gao Sheng with murder and arson.
"I think you don't need to believe what those gangsters say, just kill them with one knife and do the harm to the people!" Another fat official said.
…
For a time, many people expressed their opinions. The opinions were varied and everything that should be thought of was thought of. However, among the opinions, the one that wanted Gao Sheng to confront the most was because the matter involved him.
Gao Ming secretly memorized the words of these officials. Anyone who did not speak for him this time would probably be retaliated by him.
While everyone was chattering, Wu Yong, the commander of the imperial army, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
He was a martial artist, and his voice was loud and loud, overshadowing everyone present. Long Sheng also said loudly: "Speak!"
"I am always paying attention to the situation in Shangjing City. Yesterday in the market, I overheard a rumor that the brother gang had not only cooperated with Mr. Gao for a long time, but also inadvertently obtained evidence of Mr. Gao's corruption and perversion of the law. Therefore, Mr. Gao is a talented person. To kill people and silence them!"
Wu Yong was a soldier and spoke straightforwardly without any modification. As soon as these words came out, the court turned into a vegetable market again because this rumor was so shocking.
"Wu Yong, you, you are so slanderous!" Gao Ming was so angry that he pointed at Wu Yong and stuttered when he spoke.
"Master Gao, there is no need to be angry. I just heard the rumors in the market. The actual authenticity has yet to be verified!"
"Your Majesty, I was drinking with my friends yesterday and heard this news, and many people are talking about it!" Another official also stood up and said.
"I've heard something too!" Another official came out and said.
"I also heard something..."
All of a sudden, dozens of officials, big and small, stood up and said they had heard something. Gao Ming was so angry: "You...you...united to slander me!"
The situation of these people was seen by Long Sheng, and he felt that it was completely unexpected. He asked the ceremonial officer beside him: "Have you heard of this rumor?"
"I have been in the palace all this time and have never heard of it!" replied the Chief of Ceremonies.
Prince Long Dingtian, who was standing closest below Long Sheng, whispered: "Father, I also heard it yesterday. This news is absolutely true!" Long Sheng has two sons and one daughter. Prince Long Dingtian, The second son, Long Anmin, and his daughter were the Princess Feixue whom Hua Shenguang had met. Her full name was Long Feixue. During every morning court meeting, Prince Long Dingtian had the opportunity to participate in government affairs and learn how to govern the country.
Long Sheng nodded. His son had heard it. That was what happened. He signaled the ministers to be quiet and said: "Gao Aiqing, don't be angry. It's just rumors in the market. Those who are clean will clean themselves up!" Then he asked the prime minister again. : "Sun Aiqing, have you heard about this?"
Sun Haiyang smiled: "Your Majesty, it's just market rumors. Don't take it seriously. There are more than a thousand rumors circulating in the market every day. It would be too tiring to investigate every one of them!"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the people's words must have reasons and cannot be groundless!" Yang Tianling, the dean of the Taiyuan Academy, came out and said.
Gao Ming, who was originally grateful to the Prime Minister and said a kind word for him, wanted to die when he heard Yang Tianling's words. What do you think you, the dean of Taiyuan Academy, are getting involved in? I, Gao Ming, have never offended you!
In fact, although Yang Tianling is devoted to the study of knowledge, he is quite vindictive. Any minor conflicts will be remembered by him, and he is narrow-minded. The reason why he said this is because of his inquisitive character. The second is to arrange a good official position for Gao Ming who was not satisfied with his students last time.
"I have been wronged! Someone must have deliberately spread rumors to slander me. Please ask the Holy Spirit to make the decision for me!" Gao Ming shouted that he was wronged and kept defending!
Looking at Gao Ming's appearance, Long Sheng thought about it and said: "It's not easy to make a conclusion about whether this matter is right or wrong. It needs to be investigated in detail. Long Dingtian listens!"
Long Dingtian quickly came out of the queue and knelt down to receive the order.
"I order you to take full responsibility for this matter, and all officials must cooperate. I hope you will report it to me, and do not wrongly accuse any good person, nor let any bad person go!"
"My son, I obey!" Long Dingtian didn't expect that his father would leave the matter to him. After agreeing, he was still a little at a loss. After all, he had just been involved in government affairs. The ministers below were also surprised, and many people were scheming in their hearts. , it seems that the Holy One intends to train the prince to grow up quickly so that he can take over the position of the king. In the future, he will treat the prince differently.
"Okay, I'm a little tired, let's retreat from the court!" Long Sheng coughed twice, and walked into the harem with the support of the ceremonial officer. The ministers in the palace, after shouting long live, also went out individually. Main hall.
