Chapter 5 I'm afraid he won't die completely! Double insurance
Gao Qiu, the official of Taiwei, is a popular person in front of the emperor. Now is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant.
It can be said that he gets the wind when he wants, and the rain gets rain when he wants. Almost all civil and military officials in the court depend on him to breathe. It can be said that he is so powerful that he is so powerful.
In the entire court, Gao Qiu was the only one who could not stand others, and no one else dared to cause trouble for him.
The power of the government and the public is overwhelming, one person is subordinate to ten thousand people.
The only shortcoming was that there were no children in the family. Gao Qiu was worried that no one would inherit his countless wealth in the future, so he adopted his cousin's son into his own name. That person was Gao Yanei.
Relying on Gao Qiu's power, Gao Yanei oppressed the people and committed all kinds of evil. Even if Gao Qiu knew about it, he turned a blind eye and ignored it, allowing Gao Yanei to do whatever he wanted, which further encouraged Gao Yanei's arrogance.
Now that Gao Yanei died tragically, Gao Qiu was very sad.
"That reckless man Lin Chong, my poor son, just fell in love with his woman! Why did you do this to him? There are so many women in the world? How much is his woman worth? Is it as good as my smart son?" Gao Qiu Mu
His canthus was about to split, and his heart was filled with rage. It would be difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart without cutting Lin Chong into pieces with a thousand knives.
Suddenly there was a noise outside, and a guard hurriedly entered the door, knelt down, nodded, and reported: "Lieutenant, I didn't catch up with Lin Chong. I watched him flee towards the woods outside the city. The others are continuing to follow. The younger one is back."
Reporting to you, sir, please show me!"
"Oh? Wouldn't it be good to escape to the direction of the wild boar forest! It's really an eye-opener for God. Lin Chong, Lin Chong, I will definitely put your head on your neck to commemorate my good son!" Gao Qiu was excited, and then his eyes flashed.
He turned around, his expression instantly calmed down, and he continued: "Go and call Fu Yin."
The guard did not dare to delay and hurried to do it. Soon, the governor came to see him.
"See Captain Gao!" Fu Yin bowed his hands and said in a low voice.
"I just want to ask you, should you pay for killing with your life?" Gao Qiu's tone was unkind and aggressive.
"It should be." Fu Yin replied.
"Okay, this is what I'm waiting for!" Gao Qiu looked satisfied.
"It's just that the results of specific cases are still different. I wonder which case Gao Taiwei is talking about?" Fu Yin felt bad and hurriedly changed his words to leave some room.
"Is there any difference in the specific cases? I would like to ask you, Fu Yin, that my son died tragically in the hands of Lin Chong. Should Lin Chong pay for it with his life?"
"This... murder should be paid with life, but the law does not criminalize beheading. Furthermore, Lin Chong was originally the leader of the 800,000 forbidden troops in the city, not a pawn. If Captain Gao insists on doing this, I have to let the Holy One make the decision.
I have no right to interfere!" The governor was neither humble nor overbearing. He spoke loudly and well-reasonedly. This not only showed his respect for Gao Qiu, but also did not make the yamen any worse. It gave Gao Qiu enough face and upheld the laws of the country.
The most important thing is that Gao Qiu couldn't find the fault in his words and was unable to do anything to Lin Chong for a while.
"I know that Fu Yin is impartial and strict, but I don't know how Fu Yin will make a decision?" Gao Qiu's tone was gentle, and he immediately restrained his arrogance, pretending to ask, and looked at Fu Yin.
The governor had already found out the whole story, and he also knew Gao Yanei's daily behavior, and he wanted to excuse Lin Chong, so he said: "The evidence of Lin Chong's murder is conclusive, An Law should be the assassin and sent to Cangzhou."
Although Gao Qiu was unwilling, he couldn't stop him. He rolled his eyes and thought of it, and said loudly: "Now that Lin Chong has fled outside the city, I am willing to assist the governor in arresting the criminal Lin Chong!"
"Okay, thank you Captain Gao for your help. I will send people outside the city to arrest him!" Fu Yin replied.
"In order to apprehend the murderer as soon as possible, Gao Fu's guards can help Fu Yin!" Gao Qiu said in a strong tone.
The governor could only agree, then turned around and left.
........
Gaofu.
"The housekeeper called Niu Erlai!" Gao Qiu was sitting in the center of the main hall.
"It's the master!" The housekeeper didn't dare to neglect and turned around to go down.
Not long after, a burly man came in behind the butler, wearing a horned turban and an old war robe, holding a sword in his hand. After entering the hall, he knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands in salute.
"Greetings, Mr. Taiwei!"
Gao Qiu raised his hand to signal the steward, who then held up a sword with both hands.
This knife is dazzlingly clear, and the cold air invades it.
From a distance, it looks like spring ice on a jade marsh, and up close, it looks like auspicious snow on Qiongtai.
The patterns are densely covered, and ghosts and gods are frightened when they see them.
"Good knife!"
Niu Er has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He is extremely talented and has outstanding kung fu. He is also one of the powerful characters Gao Qiu secretly raised at home.
"Niu Er, take this sword and bring back Lin Chong's head!"
"Yes!" Niu Er accepted the order, took the sword with both hands, and carefully carried it behind his back.
At this time the housekeeper came over and whispered a few words. Gao Taiwei smiled and said: "Those government servants arrived just in time, so I will leave this matter to you."
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly: "I won't let you worry about it, I'll take my leave."
............
In a side room of the mansion, two government servants in official uniforms were sitting, one was Dong Chao and the other was named Xue Ba.
After the two sat down, they looked at each other intently, waiting for the butler to speak.
"Two adults, my yamen died unjustly, please forgive me!" The steward said, and took out two gold ingots that had been prepared and pushed them in front of the two of them.
Dong Chao and Xue Ba were worried and didn't know what to do.
Dong Chao said: "Butler, if you have any questions, please give me your instructions. There is no need to be so polite!"
As he spoke, he pushed back the gold ingot in front of the two of them.
Captain Gao was a powerful figure in the city, and he couldn't afford to offend them even if they had several heads.
As government servants, the two of them were soft-spoken. It would have been easy for Gao Qiu to let them die.
As long as Gao Qiu opens his mouth, the two of them will do their best, how dare they accept bribes!
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others. This rule cannot be broken. You deserve the gold ingot. When the deed is accomplished, you will be thanked greatly!" The steward looked sincere and placed the gold ingot in front of the two of them.
"You just need to find a secluded place to kill Lin Chong, and then return to Master Fu Yin to recover. Don't worry, Master Gao will protect you." The housekeeper also reassured the two of them.
"That Lin Chong is so fierce and ruthless that it will be difficult for just the two of us to defeat him." Dong Chao, the leader, said, "If there are experts to help us, we will definitely be able to accomplish this."
With a smile on his lips, the housekeeper said in a deep voice: "Two gentlemen, this is the nursing home of Gaofu. We are following these two gentlemen on the road, so we can help you! Don't worry, you two, this nursing home is a real master."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a strong man walking in from the door.
As soon as the two of them saw Niu Er, who looked like a tiger with a strong back, fierce eyes, and an air of hostility, they knew in their hearts that he was not their helper. He was clearly worried about Lin Chong's death.
The two men immediately collected the gold ingots, and Dong Chao said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you are still thoughtful. Just give us some time and we will definitely bring Lin Chong's body back!"
The steward stroked his beard and laughed, saying: "Okay, if this happens, my master will give you a big reward!"
