Chapter two hundred and forty-one who bears the blame
Qin Luoluo has said this several times. He was a eunuch from the palace. No matter how brave Gong Yangliu is, he dare not offend him. The title of the baron was asked for by the eldest princess. Of course, this favor must be sold out. That means that the eunuch who came to proclaim the order was also in the same group as the eldest princess. If he offended him, Qin Luoluo went back and said that the eldest princess could pick him up and of course he could fall down.
Gong Yangliu smiled and said, "Eunuch Qin is a clever scholar. Although General Xu is here to be a senior in Qiuzhou, the journey is long, but he may not be missing in Qiuzhou. Maybe he was missing somewhere else!"
Qin Luoluo became even more impatient and said, "General Xu stayed at the post station all the way, and everyone at the post station recognized him. His last stay was the last post station in Qiuzhou. He was fine when he left, but there was no record in you Qiuzhou. What does this mean? It means that he could only be seen in you Qiuzhou. This is obviously an accident. It seems that your post is really not peaceful. After our family returns to Beijing, we have to talk to the emperor and the eldest princess. If it really doesn't work, just change to the governor!"
He was really anxious. Xu Gaoyang was sent by the eldest princess, so he had to come to see Gong Yangliu first. He wanted to talk about the former prince. The eldest princess was careful and could not let him, a eunuch, tell the secret matter, so as not to be investigated by those in the court in the future. Although he knew what Xu Gaoyang was here to do, he didn't know how to do it. Only Xu Gaoyang and the eldest princess knew.
If Xu Gaoyang had an accident, it would be amazing. If he was kidnapped by those interested in the court, and tortured, he would tell the story of the eldest prince dealing with the former prince, then it would be a big deal and would definitely be stabbed out. The eldest princess would never think of being a female prince in her life. How could Queen Dugu pass the throne to someone who wanted to harm her brother? How could such a person be the king of a country?
Qin Luoluo was anxious, and of course the words he said would not sound nice. Gong Yangliu only felt a headache. He said, "Don't be upset with Eunuch Qin, please go and urge me to do it now. You must find General Xu."
"We have to see people alive, and die to see corpses. If we can't find General Xu, we won't go back to Chang'an. We'll waste our time with you!" Qin Luoluo shouted with glaring eyes.
Gong Yang Liu's mouth was full of bitterness and quickly agreed, but thought to himself: "A man of a magnificent general, but he disappeared after he could not see him. Who would have thought that this would be like this? Qiuzhou is so big. How can I find it? Isn't this difficult for me!"
He left the main hall and came to the constable room. When the constables saw him coming, they quickly met him. The head-in-chief said, "Sir, why are you here? But for General Xu's affairs?"
Gong Yang said with a bitter face: "Can you find someone else? Are you looking for someone well? Why are you still procrastinating here? Why don't you go to the street?"
The headmaster said in embarrassment: "Sir, how could your subordinates not search for it all their heart, but they really couldn't find it. I've been searching several Qiuzhou these days, and I can't find it from house to house. Besides, General Xu is a great general. If he hides himself, we can't find it." There is a hint in his words. I believe that the governor will understand it.
Gong Yang Liu looked extremely ugly and whispered: "It's impossible for him to hide himself. What's the point of hiding? So he can only be harmed by someone. Our place is not peaceful. How can I not know anything about it?"
The headmaster thought to himself: "You know that peace is not peaceful, right, everyone knows it, it's no secret." He said: "Sir, you will definitely not be able to find the city. If General Xu enters the city, how can he come to see you immediately? So he must have been robbed outside. The place outside the city is too big, and he can't find it no matter how hard he looks. Let's just make a gesture and let the angel from Chang'an think that we will do our best. If things are delayed, they will be disastrous. Big things will turn into small things and small things will turn into small things!"
The word "drag" is the only way for constables to deal with headless unsolved cases. Almost all headless unsolved cases can be so bad. I have never failed. At least in Qiuzhou, the word "drag" has always been very effective.
Gong Yang Liu looked left and right, pulled the captain aside, and whispered: "I'm afraid this matter cannot be dragged over. The master from the palace inside tried his best to urge him to see the person alive and the corpse alive, otherwise he would not leave. Do you think the method of dragging works?"
The head-in-chief turned his eyes and whispered: "Then find someone in the prison and pretend to be the General Xu. Isn't it just a corpse?" As he said that, he made a killing gesture, trying to use the corpse of a prisoner to get through.
Gong Yangliu still shook his head. Xu Gaoyang knew Qin Luoluo, and the trick of replacing the pillar was not easy to use.
The headmaster, however, didn't know the reason and was still suggesting: "You can chop your face to pieces, and then you won't recognize it no matter how you do it."
The more he said it, the more outrageous it became. This idea was okay to deal with Xiaomin, and it was obviously not good to fool Qin Luoluo. Gong Yang Liu said: "All chopped and rotten, how can it be proved that it was the corpse named Xu? Others would not believe it at all, unless there is a token, but if the token is found, can the real corpse be found?"
The headmaster sighed, "This is really difficult." After thinking about it, he said, "If something happened to General Xu, who should bear the responsibility? People in Beijing will definitely blame you, right?"
"That's natural!" Gong Yang Liu said with a frown.
His baron position had just been obtained and he had not yet been warmed up, so he probably had to fly away. The eldest princess would not spare him. She would even think that he had hidden Xu Gaoyang and wanted to surrender to the enemy and rebel, and find another supporter, but he had no other supporter. Wouldn't this betray him?
The headmaster whispered: "What if the responsibility is not borne by the adults?"
"How can the person who is not seen in Qiuzhou be held responsible by my official? I can't find someone else to take the blame!" Gong Yang Liu said dejectedly.
The headmaster smiled lightly and said a little treacherously: "That's not necessarily the peace here, but it's not the most uneven place. The west of the town is much more chaotic than ours. If a group of bandits come from there and hurt General Xu, then will you still need to take this responsibility?"
Gong Yang Liu exclaimed, feeling the light in front of him, and suddenly realized that he had found his target. There were many robbers in Zhenxi. Sometimes there were even Tu Luhun's robbers crossing the border and committing crimes. Maybe they were really robbers from Zhenxi. If this is true, why should he take the blame? Yang Ze should take it!
"How can I transfer the responsibility to the west of the town?" Gong Yang Liu asked. This captain is quite smart, why didn't he find it before?
The captain continued to offer advice: "Let someone be a witness, and said that he saw a group of robbers robbing General Xu and took General Xu to the west of the town..."
Gong Yang Liu said, "Then what, ask the county magistrate of Zhenxi to investigate and pursue, and he wants to see people alive and die. If the case cannot be solved..." It doesn't matter to me, and Qin Luoluo's anger will not be sent to me.
"That's nothing to do with the master. You can also hold that county magistrate Yang accountable and punish him well to calm the imperial envoy!" The captain felt that this idea was wonderful. It was simply wonderful.
Gong Yangliu thought so too. The troubles that had been suppressed in his heart for several days finally alleviated a little. He said, "You can do the matter of finding witnesses. You must find reliable people. Also, you all go out and don't stay in the yamen. Eunuch Qin will not be seen by you and think we are not working hard!"
The headmaster quickly agreed and ran away. Gong Yang Liuze returned to the main hall. Even if he didn't want to flatter Qin Luoluo, he had to smile. Who could not afford to offend others?
Yang Ze rushed to the scene and finally arrived at Qiuzhou. After entering the city gate, he arrived at the governor's yamen under the leadership of Yue Xiufeng. When he got off the horse, he felt pain in his butt, his legs were numb, and he almost couldn't stand steadily. He had been rushing the road these days and was so tired that he was about to die.
Yue Xiufeng entered the yamen in advance and headed straight to the main hall. Seeing Gong Yang Liu and Qin Luoluo were there, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "The imperial envoy, the governor, and the magistrate of Zhenxi County, Yang Zeyang County, are here, right outside the door, so I'm looking for the two magistrates."
Gong Yangliu was shocked. Yang Ze came. How could he come? He didn't let him come. He just sent someone to ask him to check on strangers. Why did he come in person?
Qin Luoluo exclaimed and said, "Yang Ze, why did he come? Why did he come? But Lord Yang asked him to come?"
He looked at Gong Yang Liu with dissatisfaction. Of course, he knew that Yang Ze was not the eldest princess' confidant. The reason why the eldest princess sent Xu Gaoyang was because she was afraid that Yang Ze and Li Yan would collude. Otherwise, so many things would happen, so Gong Yang Liu could not get a title. Now Yang Ze suddenly arrived, and Gong Yang Liu didn't tell him in advance. Could it be that the two of them had something to do with each other and had colluded? Doesn't that mean that Gong Yang Liu was suspected of betraying the eldest prince? He wouldn't bet on the former prince Li Yan, and wanted to place bets on both sides.
Gong Yang Liu hurriedly said, "It was not the one who asked him to come. Yang Ze was too disrespectful. He left the post without permission from his official, and left the guard land without his permission. He was an official like this, wouldn't it be a mess in the west? There was no peace there, and there were thieves everywhere. This was all Yang Ze's fault."
He quickly said a lot of bad things about Yang Ze, hoping that Qin Luoluo could take preconceptions and treat Yang Ze as a bastard official. Then it would be natural to let Yang Ze take the blame.
Unexpectedly, Qin Luoluo was relieved when he heard this. Seeing that Gong Yangliu's expression was not like a fake, he would be relieved. As long as the two of them did not collude, he would not care about anything else.
Gong Yangliu waved his hand and said, "Let him come in, I should listen to what he has to do. If nothing important is done, I will punish him well."
Outside the door, Yang Ze said to Cai Cai: "I'm so anxious along the way. You're exhausted. I guess there won't be our residence in this yamen. I'd better find a better inn. You can open a room, wash it up, and relieve the fatigue!"
Cai Cai shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm not very tired. You can go in and do a serious business first, and then let's go to the inn together."
Mu Gen also said beside him: "Master, we will take care of the little princess, it will definitely be fine."
At this time, Yue Xiufeng jogged out and said, "My Lord Yang, my master asked you to come in. The imperial envoy in the hall was in a bad mood." On the way, he felt that Yang Ze was easy to get along with, and was generous in his actions. He was good to him. He couldn't help with anything else, so he could only remind him like this.
