Wang Lin climbed up the courtyard wall and took a quick look, feeling secretly happy that he finally had a perfect path.
The courtyard where Gao Yamen lived was located in the deepest part of the Taiwei Mansion. Outside the high wall was a long and narrow alley, one end leading to Daxiangguo Temple and the other end leading to Fan Tower.
Wang Lin immediately jumped off the courtyard wall and used the stone lock to smash a big hole in the backyard wall several times, signaling Zhang Zhenniang to go quickly.
Zhang Zhenniang knew that now was not the time to be polite, so she quickly took a grateful look at Wang Lin, got out of the hole in the wall and fled towards Xiangguo Temple without her life.
More than a hundred forbidden troops have broken through the courtyard gate and rushed in.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, pulled Zhao Fujin, and also got out of the hole in the wall.
Others were outside the wall, brandishing long knives to block the gap, and killed or wounded seven or eight Forbidden soldiers who tried to get out.
I guessed that Zhang Zhenniang must have gone far away at this moment, and saw many forbidden soldiers on the wall preparing their bows and arrows, so she held a knife in one hand, squatted down, and said urgently: "Emperor Ji, get on my back."
Zhao Fujin was in a state of confusion and didn't know where to go. Without hesitation, he jumped on Wang Lin's back.
Wang Lin then carried Zhao Fujin on his back and ran along the alley in the opposite direction to where Zhang Zhenniang went.
Behind him, arrows fell like rain.
The desolate and simple sound of military drums soon sounded in the Taiwei's mansion, and it was obvious that Gao Qiu had discovered that Gao Yanei had been killed.
More than a hundred forbidden troops rushed out of the Taiwei Mansion and chased Wang Lin in the direction they fled. In this way, Zhang Zhenniang was actually safe.
At the same time, the entire city of Bianliang City was under martial law, all thirteen city gates were closed, and almost all the troops from the Jingying Palace Commander's Mansion were mobilized to search for Wang Lin everywhere.
Gao Qiu's anger spread throughout the city, and the streets and alleys of the city were filled with rampaging armed soldiers. The people of Tokyo were all frightened and went home to take shelter one after another.
…
From Li Shishi, Wang Lin verified the rumors of the unofficial historian a few days ago, that there is really a secret underground passage leading to the palace in the backyard of Fanlou.
Zhao Ji dug it.
But before today, he never thought that Zhao Ji's secret secret affair would turn into an escape route for him and Zhao Fujin.
The pursuing Imperial Guards watched helplessly as Wang Lin carried a young girl on his back and fled into the Fan Tower. However, they searched the entire Fan Tower and found no trace of the two of them.
Gao Qiu, who came after him, had a ferocious look on his face. He looked at Master Li coldly and said, "Miss Master, if you dare to harbor Wang Lin, the felon who committed murder, don't blame me for being unkind!"
Li Shishi had met many dignitaries in Tokyo, so he would not be intimidated by Gao Qiu. He only said calmly: "Captain Gao, I have never seen any serious murderers. Anyway, I am saving such a big place in Fanlou.
If the lieutenant doesn't believe it, you can search as you like. If you find out who he is, I'm willing to accept the crime!"
Master Li is confident and confident.
The entrance to the secret passage was extremely secretive, and no one knew about it except her.
So what if he is found out by Gao Qiu's people? By then, Wang Lin would have already brought Zhao Fujin, Emperor Kangfu's concubine, into the palace. With the protection of the officials, can Gao Qiu still rebel?
Gao Qiu sneered and waved his hand: "Search!"
Hundreds of forbidden troops swarmed in, and Fan Lou was in a panic again.
…
Zhao Ji has been alone in the imperial study for the past two days. You can imagine how irritable he is. He has lost the greatest joy in life and cannot keep his spirits up every day.
Suddenly, he learned that his most beloved daughter, Emperor Kangfu, had been captured by Gao Yanei and taken into the palace. If Wang Lin had not risked his life to save her, not only would the thief have ruined her, the royal family would have been humiliated, and her life would have been lost.
Zhao Fujin fell to his side sobbing and choking. The officials of the Song Dynasty were filled with anger and resentment accumulated over the past few days, and finally found an outlet to vent.
"You bastard thief, how dare he do this, how dare he do this!"
Zhao Ji roared, pushed down the bookcase with a bang, and shouted: "I will cut Gao Yanei into pieces with a thousand knives!"
Wang Lin raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when he heard Zhao Fujin choke and say: "Back to my father, that thief wanted...my daughter had no choice but to accidentally...kill him!"
Zhao Fujin secretly winked at Wang Lin, and then continued to cry loudly.
"Well done!" Zhao Ji applauded: "Come here and summon Gao Qiu into the palace. I want to ask him face to face. Does he still care about me as an official?"
Zhao Ji stamped his feet and said angrily: "Publish the decree to hang the head of Gao Yameni on the Meridian Gate and display it to the public for three days as a warning to others!"
…
When Gao Qiu got the news from the palace, his heart dropped to the bottom of his heart.
He never expected that this damn adopted son would go through such a huge disaster behind his back, snatch the current emperor's concubine from the street and enter the palace, and almost do the kind of thing that made the royal family unable to hold their heads high, and caused the nine Gao family members to be implicated.
thing.
It would be fine if this matter was covered up, but Zhao Fujin was rescued by Wang Lin. Now that Di Ji is a conclusive witness, it is difficult for him to quibble.
Based on his understanding of Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu knew that he was doomed this time.
Although Zhao Ji is weak and relies on him to check and balance Cai Jing's overwhelming situation, it is a matter of dignity and dignity of the royal family. Even if Zhao Ji does not want to pursue the case, the Zhao family clan will definitely not let him go.
The key point is that Cai Jing, an old treacherous person, will definitely add insult to injury.
In fact, his judgment was absolutely correct.
Before Emperor Zhao Ji had figured out how to deal with Gao Qiu, Cai Jing had already led a group of courtiers into the palace. When Gao Qiu entered the main hall of Yanfu Palace, he found that Cai Jing and others were already in place, with cold sweat running down his back.
He did not dare to hesitate anymore, and knelt down on the ground with a bang, crying and kowtowing: "In the official family, the minister Gao Qiu did not teach his son well, and he made a big mistake, and deserves death!"
Gao Qiu directly confessed his crime and offered no defense.
This is his cleverness.
After all, he knows the temperament of officials very well. As long as he admits his mistakes, Zhao Ji may take care of the old relationship and punish him slightly, such as giving him the political treatment of "Kaifu Yitong Sansi" and then demoting him. This may
That's it.
But before Zhao Ji had time to react, Bai Shizhong, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Fu, the chief minister of the imperial censor, came out to play Gao Qiu's performance almost at the same time.
These two people were Cai Jing's confidants, and they obviously had Cai Jing's instructions in advance.
Bai Shizhong mainly targeted Gao Qiu Zongzi for committing crimes, bullying men and dominating women in Bianliang, Tokyo, which caused public resentment. Of course, he also did not let go of Gao Yanei's evil intention of kidnapping the emperor of the dynasty.
Wang Fu's memorial listed Gao Qiu's many crimes in a eloquent manner, which shows that he had been prepared for a long time and took advantage of the situation at this time.
Take advantage of the disease to kill you.
"Gao Qiu... was in charge of military affairs, and invaded the military camps to expand his private territory, and occupied most of the imperial army for full force service. Most of the soldiers he occupied were skilled craftsmen, who were used for private service and as military companions. Soldiers could go out
Those who give money to help military craftsmen will be exempted from the examination. Anyone who builds bricks, tiles, mud, etc. for private use will be sent out to the army in the military camp. It is not timely to give money, and there are too many people to collect, so it is impossible to survive, and they often start other businesses.
.Although the army was banned, they were still trying their best to obtain food and clothing, and they completely abolished the school review. They had no regard for compassion...The imperial court could not help but surrender to the barbarians, which was actually caused by relying on favors for personal gain..."
After Wang Fu, more than a dozen of Cai Jing's confidants came out, prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted: "Please punish Gao Qiu severely and correct the course of the dynasty!"
Zhao Ji gasped.
He subconsciously glanced at Cai Jing, who was standing under the Danqi with his eyes closed and concentrating, pretending that the matter had nothing to do with him. The anger he had towards Gao Qiu gradually faded away.
