Looking at the handsome Ouyang Kang again, Gao Xiuru asked cautiously, "Who are you?" You clearly belong to the same group, right?

Ouyang Kang took another look at Nianfu, and said calmly, "Neighbors, tenants, are also good friends. Just now the steward of your mansion said that this girl went to Pingguo's mansion to make trouble because of me. If he is not so stupid , you should remember that it was Duke Pingguo's daughter who was rude first and scalded me and a group of innocent people in the street. Because the doctor said that I was seriously injured and died, sister Zhu was forced to go to Duke Pingguo's mansion to replace me. I beg the imperial physician. As for the common people following, it is out of righteous indignation, not our incitement. If the housekeeper of your house insists on comparing the two matters, is that trying to discredit the princess' house?"

well said!Seeing the butler retracting his neck awkwardly, Nianfu felt extremely happy.

However, Ouyang Kang is not a person who is unreasonable and unforgiving. After making Princess Pingguo speechless, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. Instead, he looked at the concubine who had a bad face and said sincerely, "The current matter I believe it will be hard for us to explain the princess for a while. But right now, the most important thing is not to ask the imperial physician for the son-in-law? The princess should hurry to the palace, don't delay for us here. Anyway, our name and address, General Gongsun, is Qing Clearly, whenever you want to call us for questioning, just ask someone to come. If you are still worried, you can send a few people to guard the door of my house."

Seeing him so calm, Gong Sunhong felt a little embarrassed instead.And Gao Xiuru turned her head to look at her husband who had just let go, feeling even more ashamed.Why did I just focus on quarreling and forget about him?

"Yinian, are you alright?"

Wei Yinian tried his best to give his wife a smile.Glancing at Gongsun Hong again, he greeted weakly, "Xiao Hong, long time no see."

Gongsun Hong took a deep look at him, his eyes were rather complicated, but he still didn't say anything, he just said, "Hurry up and enter the palace, I will handle the matter here."

Gao Xiuru looked at him again sadly.He left with his husband and the bodyguard team.

He ordered his subordinates to collect the bodies of Jiang Yaji and Kong Yaji, and Gong Sunhong said to Ouyang Kang and Nianfu who wanted to leave, "No matter what the truth of this matter is, you should stop making trouble. I will send you 3000 taels of silver when I turn around." to the house."

What is his attitude?Is it just a matter of money?The fire of chanting blessings began to rise again.But Ouyang Kang stopped her.

"General Gongsun, I'm afraid it's not us who want to make trouble right now, but someone who wants to take the opportunity to make trouble. Besides, when we knew that we were deceived, our family had already reported it to the government, and today it's making such a big fuss. Is it so Can it be easily uncovered?"

"You don't need to worry about this, I will investigate naturally. I only need you to do one thing now. That is, the Shangguan Mansion withdraws the original complaint and apologizes in public at the Princess Mansion. It is said that what happened today is all your fault wrong."

Why?

Nianfu couldn't bear it anymore, "Gongsun Hong, even if you want to protect the princess mansion, you have to be reasonable, right? Even if today's matter was picked by us, it was because there were scum in the princess mansion. You deceived us first. You In a word, if we want to withdraw the lawsuit, we will withdraw the lawsuit. If we apologize, we will apologize, how can there be such a thing in the world?"

"There is none in the world, but I have it here!" Gongsun Hong suddenly raised his voice, and his eyes became extremely sharp, "Don't think that we can act unscrupulously in front of me because of our three-point friendship. This matter is settled like this, otherwise , the consequences are absolutely unbearable for you!"

"Farewell." Cleanly throwing down two words, Ouyang Kang read a blessing in a frenzy, and left with Wangcai and Poyuan and his servants without looking back.

Damn it!Gongsun Hong was left standing there, clenched his fists, his slightly thin lips tightly pressed into a ruthless arc.

royal palace.Renshou Palace.

After hearing the ins and outs, Empress Dowager Mu was furious, "It's that girl again! Did she hold a grudge against Ai's family for not rewarding her today, so she deliberately went to the princess's mansion to make such a big trouble to Ai's family? Last time, Duke Pingguo was humiliated by whipping in public, what is she thinking this time? Xiuru, you don’t need to worry about this matter, and you and your son-in-law can take care of your body in the palace with peace of mind. Leave the rest to Ai Home. Come on, go and invite the emperor!"

"Imperial Grandmother, don't!" Gao Xiuru hadn't finished speaking when the Emperor Gao Xian came over.

When the queen mother saw him, she immediately complained angrily, "Your Majesty, look, when did such a troublesome person come under the feet of the emperor? A little girl, after tossing the Duke's mansion, she came to toss the princess's mansion again. Aren't you going to torment the palace next time?"

Gao Xiuru glanced at Gao Xian with guilt, stepped forward and said, "This is because my daughter has no way to manage the family..."

"I said it's none of your business!" Empress Dowager Mu interrupted her, and then she took another look at the embarrassing emperor and said, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, have you ever lived in the capital for a day? It's for you." He and his consort's mansion are also the masters of the emperor and Ai's family. If there is a fault, it is the fault of the emperor and Ai's family!"

She slowed down her tone, seeming to be choked with sobs, "You have been outside for so many years, fighting for the emperor, and you don't even have time to take care of yourself and your son-in-law's body, and you don't even have a son and a half daughter. It's so easy now He came to Beijing to pay homage to the imperial grandmother's birthday, and returned so much gold and silver treasures for the court, but he didn't have time to go to the palace to see her, and the whole family had a good time talking, so they suffered such a big grievance for no reason. If you decide, it would be in vain for you to call me the emperor's grandmother!"

Her soft and hard words made the emperor feel very sorry, so he could only express his attitude first, "Don't be angry, queen mother, will I let Xiuru be wronged? It's just that this matter has not been investigated yet. , After the investigation is clear, it will not be too late to discuss what to do."

Empress Dowager Mu glanced at him, but said quietly, "I'm afraid that the emperor will find out and put the overall situation first. When the time comes, Xiuru will be dragged outside Chengtian Gate to beat him up. Could it be that the Ai family is still ignorant?" Do you want to cry again?"

Gao Xian was so choked that he had nothing to say, so he had to change the subject, "Okay, okay, the child just came back, what are you doing talking about all this? Let Xiuru go down and rest quickly. But the Queen Mother is right, Xiuru , you guys are living in the palace recently, it’s almost Chinese New Year, our family will be closer and more affectionate. Besides, the son-in-law needs to take care of his health, and it’s much more convenient to use any medicinal materials when he lives in the palace to summon the imperial physician. Can you Don't say I don't love you, although you haven't been here these few years, I have already prepared a palace for you, you go and see if you like it first."

Gao Xiuru hurriedly said, "The brothers who are married live outside the palace, how can we stay in the palace?"

"Hey, how can it be the same?" The queen mother heard what the emperor had said, and went down the steps with dignity, "It's just folks. After a married daughter returns to her mother's house, is there any reason to go outside? The one for the son-in-law The small house is just for you to rest your feet, and it’s over if you arrange your entourage to live in it. The palace is specially prepared for you. I rushed here from a long distance, and the emperor’s grandmother won’t leave you to say more, go and have a rest.”

After ordering her servants to wait for Gao Xiuru to leave, Empress Dowager Mu put away her smile and complained to Gao Xian again, "Your Majesty, the Ai family knows that you are a wise king, but I really can't blame her for what happened to Xiuru's family. The lawless servant and the troublemaker. If you want to punish Xiuru again this time, I will not obey!"

Gao Xian has a headache.

Empress Dowager Mu said this because she knew in her heart that if this matter really had to be pursued, the Princess Mansion would definitely be involved.Apart from other things, one article alone is enough to punish the crime.Because the sufferer who was cheated did go to Lirenfang to see the house. If it wasn't for the cooperation of the princess mansion, how could he let him in?

Just now, Gao Xiuru took the initiative to admit her mistake, which is also because of this.Regardless of whether she is in the capital or not, it was the servants of her house who made mistakes, that is, the master's lack of control.

Speaking of which, the emperor also felt that the adopted daughter was very unlucky.Because the servants of the princess mansion are all sent by the royal family, if the crime of the princess is not punished, should the crime of the emperor or the queen mother be punished?This is obviously impossible!But things have already happened. If the people don't give an explanation, what will people say?

Before Gao Xian could come up with a solution, another piece of good news and another piece of bad news came.

The good news is that Sun Pengyi, the steward of the Princess Mansion, found him early the next morning, but the bad news is that he died.

It's not good to say where he died, but he died in the busy city of the capital. He was hanged from a tree with a crooked neck by a rope, and was discovered by the people rushing to the morning market. A suicide note was found beside him.

It was clearly written in the suicide note, saying that he was the one who used the princess mansion to cheat people of money, and the 3000 taels of silver were all squandered.Because the princess went back to Beijing, he saw the death of two children. He knew that the crime was serious, and he was afraid that the government would pursue him, so he simply committed suicide. Please don't pursue this matter any more.

Chu Zuo came to examine his body, and there was no trauma, and there was no trace of taking drugs or spirits, so he concluded that it was suicide.

But could this be the end of it?

Of course not.

Because Sun Pengyi took all the blame on himself, the deaths of Jiang Yaji and Kong Yaji seemed innocent.Besides, they didn't die normally, both of them died at the gate of the princess mansion, especially Kong Yaji, who was "witnessed" by so many people and stabbed to death by Princess Chang and her son-in-law, so what should I say?

Three lives is no small matter.

Immediately, the imperial censor wrote to the court, demanding that the matter be dealt with quickly and give the world an explanation.

Gao Xian's head hurt even more, and when he went down to court, he summoned his think tank, the gang of prime ministers.

But this matter is more difficult than dealing with rumors about concubine selection. Princess Changguo is not an ordinary princess. She is not only the adopted daughter of the emperor, but also related to the dignity of the royal family. She is also the commander of the three armies.In particular, she had just wiped out the bandits in Longmen Mountain, and brought a large amount of gold, silver and jewels back to the court triumphantly.If one is not handled well, it will not only embarrass the emperor, but also make the soldiers feel resentful.But if you don't deal with it, are you going to let the people of the world poke the emperor's spine?

This is really a big problem for Gao Xian.
