In the courtyard of the Imperial Affairs Office, when Lin Chao believed that he had been deceived by the fake Xiahou family, Huangfu Qing said pale and said, "No way..."
"Why can't it be!" Lin Chao said with a dark face: "There is the most important point. I ask you, are the people from the Xiahou family riding horses or walking?"
"It's a walk." Huangfu Qing said tremblingly.
"Idiot! Even if the Xiahou clan really misunderstood the Jishifu, and sending people to protect Gao Guangning quickly, it should be riding a horse instead of walking!" Lin Chao spat fiercely and said, "Those people came walking, obviously following you all the time, and then pretending to be Xiahou clan and driving you away!"
"..." Huangfu Qing said tremblingly: "It's not that the Xiahou family wanted to blame us, so they did it deliberately, right?" In fact, he had been convinced, but he just couldn't accept this conclusion. If he was really imprisoned, even if his ancestors didn't punish them, Lin Chao would make them unable to take it.
"Nonsense!" Lin Chao spat in extreme disappointment, looked at Zuo Yanqing who was pondering and said: "Old ancestor, the matter is very clear. Someone pretended to be the Xiahou clan and kidnapped Gao Guangning, and then threw the blame to the Jishi Mansion!"
"Well." Zuo Yanqing nodded, and he agreed with this conclusion.
"Weizhi thought that the most urgent task was to immediately find Gao Guangning's whereabouts, and at the same time, we quickly sent someone... No, we went from Weizhi to Xiahou Fen to explain the misunderstanding to the Xiahou Fen Master," Lin Chao suggested in a deep voice: "We are out of kindness and must not take the blame!"
In fact, what he wanted to say more was that if Zuo Yanqing could explain to Xiahou Ba himself, the misunderstanding would definitely be completely eliminated. But if he had the courage to use him, he would not dare to instruct his ancestors to do anything, so he could only make indirect attacks like this.
"Well..." Zuo Yanqing pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said happily: "There is no need for this."
"Old ancestor!" Lin Chao said anxiously when he heard this: "The reason why Your Majesty asked us to protect Gao Guangning is because he was afraid that someone would interfere and would anger the Xiahou clan!" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "Now it seems that Your Majesty's concerns are not wrong at all. We cannot let that guy who is secretly making trouble will succeed!"
"Xiahou Ba is extremely smart, how could he not guess that the Jingshifu Mansion has no malice against Gao Guangning? Besides, what are we doing to arrest Gao Guangning? Does he know more about the Jingshifu Mansion?" Zuo Yanqing still shook his head and said, "What's more, even if you don't talk, the Xiahou family will find out your concerns. Why bother with such an extra move? It's not necessary, no need..."
After saying that, he glanced at Huangfu Qing who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head in disappointment and said, "One generation is worse than another..." and then left the inner courtyard.
Lin Chao hurriedly chased him out with anxiety and said quickly: "Bizhi will definitely find Gao Guangning's whereabouts as soon as possible..."
"What else do you want?" Zuo Yanqing sneered: "I guess he has turned into ashes long ago..."
"Then..." Lin Chao felt Zuo Yanqing's deep disappointment with him. While wiping his sweat, he said carefully: "Let's find out who is secretly making trouble!"
"Check..." Zuo Yanqing said with a blank expression: "What are you planning to check?"
"This..." Lin Chao was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. The other party left no clues at all. He didn't know where to start?
Zuo Yanqing sighed, hugged his black cat and got into the carriage, and then slowly said: "Check from that account book."
"Yes, check it from the account book!" Lin Chao nodded vigorously and said, "Those who secretly dealt with Gao Guangning must have close contact with the group of people who arrested him!" After Zuo Yanqing's point of view, he immediately said, "And, according to Huangfu Qing, there are at least two masters in that group, so the scope of search can be greatly reduced!"
"Well..." Zuo Yanqing's dark color was slightly slower, and he patted the window frame of the carriage. The black carriage slowly drove away from the Jishi Mansion.
There was no light in the carriage, it was pitch black, only the green cat eyes were flashing. Zuo Yanqing gently patted the big black cat's head and sighed: "Son, are you not satisfied?"
The big black cat meowed, seemingly agreeing.
"So, people cannot have selfishness, otherwise they will definitely regret it in the future." Zuo Yanqing sighed again.
Lin Chao was the successor trained by Zuo Yanqing. He was quite capable in all aspects. The only thing was that he seemed a little slow when making judgments. He always had to click a little to figure things out. Zuo Yanqing reflected on himself secretly, maybe he was too generous at the beginning, so that he had to listen to what he said in everything first, and then he could understand it suddenly.
Originally, Zuo Yanqing thought that Lin Chao was afraid of stealing his limelight, so he pretended to realize it. But now it seems that he was just half a beat slower, and he definitely didn't pretend!
Although I regretted that when I first selected people, I only considered that Lin Chao was easy to control, but I ignored that the admiral of the Imperial Affairs Office had to stand alone. But now that things have come to this, Zuo Yanqing could not easily replace people, so I could only continue to get angry.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he would have insomnia again tonight...
It’s not just Zuo Yanqing who can’t sleep tonight?
Located in the northwest of Luobei, Xiahoufang, next to the palace, is quiet in the dark night. Only the central Xiahou Val ancestral hall is still lighted in Lingyun Hall. Even in the darkness, you can only see the outline of the ancestral hall, the world's number one ancestral hall, and you can still clearly feel its majestic and majestic aura. It is like a lion hiding in the darkness, with its eyes shining, and choosing people to eat.
The Lingyun Hall Conference Hall has a magnificent furnishing, with scarlet carpets on the ground, and thirty-six palace lanterns hanging on the walls, illuminating the entire conference hall as bright as white. A gilded plaque written by Emperor Gaozu was hung on the hall, with four big words "Successful Huabiao" written on it!
Under the plaque, Xiahou Ba, the leader of the Xiahou clan, sat upright in the position, with his brothers, the great elder Xiahou Li, the Xiahou clan military advisor Zhu Xiuyi, the chief instructor Moro, and his eldest son Xiahou Bubu, and his nephew Xiahou Bubu. Almost most of the leaders of the Xiahou clan are here.
Xiahou's majestic gaze swept across everyone and nodded to Zhu Xiuyi, the military advisor of the Xiahou clan.
Zhu Xiu's clothes were tall and tall, with long and narrow eyes, fluttering beard, elegant manners, handsome face, and a kind-hearted manner. Her reputation in the Daxuan Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Four Masters of Xiahou, but the senior officials of each family knew very well that he was the chief think tank of Xiahou Ba. The Xiahou clan leader who was the only one who spoke was almost obedient to him. Even the arrogant Four Masters of Xiahou would call him Mr. Zhu obediently.
Although it was already cold in autumn, Zhu Xiuyi still waved the feather fan lightly, nodded slightly when seeing this, and then spoke to the senior executives of the Xiahou Valve: "It has been found out. In the evening, Huangfu Qing from the Inspectorate Office brought back the bodies that were Gao Guangning's followers. However, Gao Guangning was not among them, and it is said that he was missing..."
All the people present were those who had experienced storms and thoughts, but they changed their color slightly when they heard this. They finally knew why the master of the lord summoned everyone here late at night.
"However, according to our suspicion in the Imperial Affairs Office, Lin Chao seemed extremely shocked. He even invited Zuo Yanqing out in the middle of the night and discussed coming to explain to us." Zhu Xiuyi continued.
"What to explain?" The great elder Xiahou Li, like Xiahou Lei, was both Xiahou Ba's younger brother. But he was completely different from Xiahou Lei. He had no playboy since childhood and was devoted to practicing literature and martial arts. He advanced to the great master at the age of 40 and has always been Xiahou Ba's most capable arm support. This year he was just fifty-two years old. Although he had already finished the heavenly ranking list, no one of the three jealous men who were in full swing could say that they could win him!
"Explanation that they intended to protect Gao Guangning and had no intention of harming them." Zhu Xiuyi said slowly. As Zuo Yanqing said, there was no need to send someone to explain, and the Xiahou clan could find out by himself.
