There was a strong smell of medicine floating in the bedroom.

Lu Qi leaned against the soft pillow and drank medicine half-closed.

When putting the bowl, his hands were a little unstable, and the bowl almost hit the paint plate. The palace maid Yu Lan raised her hand quickly and quickly stretched out her hand. She accurately placed the bowl in the carved tray, and then bowed and retreated.

Although Gong Jun lowered his head, he did not miss this small accident. His heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but wonder about the prince's physical condition.

"Ming Tongzhi is quite talented, and he found out so many things in just a few days."

The prince turned over the memorial in his hand and said slowly.

"With His Highness's reliance, the officials of the lower level can pass through without any obstacles. With the power of the Taijing Prefecture and the Beizhen Fushi, they can serve His Highness." Gong Jun not only showed his authority, but also said such humble words in the officialdom.

The prince examined Gong Jun for a while, and then slowly said, "Is that so? Why do you think what is missing here?"

Gong Jun's body stiffened.

He did not mention anything about Meng Qi.

Gong Jun didn't know what the prince thought of the former dynasty's national rank. According to the information he collected, the second prince planned to rebel. The Qingwu ancestor was the work of the ancestor. Lu Zhang seriously injured the second prince to escape. This was Meng Qi. Based on the golden naked son of the Chu Dynasty, the general Liu Dan of the enemy could be found. Gong Jun specially sent someone to walk around the downtown market for a few times. Sure enough, he saw Meng Qi and Mo Li who had no intention of covering up his whereabouts. The two of them were actually walking around the shop as if nothing had happened, and went to different wineries and teahouses every day.

Gong Jun, who was too busy to go home at that time, was so angry that he ate an extra bowl of rice when he saw the news.

"Your Highness clearly understands that there are many real and fake news in the capital. Due to limited personnel, I have only stepped up to verify those who have bad intentions."

Gong Jun bowed his head respectfully. He quickly thought about what the prince knew in his heart, but he was not at all visible on his face. He calmly reported, "Before the martial law of Taijing, many bandits in the rivers and lakes had mixed into the city. These people had complex identities and the prisons of Taijing Government were already full of people. For those suspicious people who were not wanted, the minister made a decision and ordered people to monitor them strictly and did not directly arrest them. Now the news reported to the prince is complete with unmistakable news, and he dared not make up for the rumors in the city."

What kind of immortals crossing Qingjiang, nonsense rumors!

Recently, two strange handsome men appeared in East City, and there were boring rumors!

Gong Jun picked himself up completely, and a smile appeared on the corner of the prince's mouth. The eyes of the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei became meaningless.

"Oh? Why did Gu hear that someone mentioned the former dynasty's national rank?"

"Your Highness clearly understands that there are indeed such rumors. However, the Chu State Master Meng is now over 80 years old, and the old men in the city who are so old can only count for more than twenty people, all of whom are the people of Taijing. Therefore, I believe that these are all rumors without evidence, and Your Highness must not believe them!"

Gong Jun spoke righteously, and the prince was both angry and funny.

I was so angry that Gong Jun was talking lies with his eyes open, and he laughed at Gong Tongzhi as he was really a talented person!

When the prince cultivated his own power, he specifically thought about the people with higher positions in the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards. Those who are greedy and lustful should control their weaknesses and handles, and those who are ambitious can tempt them.

Gong Jun is a guy who is indifferent to the prince's hint and refuses to take the side easily, as if he is determined to follow the route of a lonely minister. But unlike Liu Dan, Gong Jun is also indifferent to winning the holy favor, and lives like a 70-year-old prime minister in Wenyuan Pavilion. He only wants to keep his official position, his disciples and his former officials all day long, and waits to receive the reward and return home.

The prince ordered Gong Jun to investigate Zhang Xiang, but he was opposed by his subordinates.

In their eyes, Gong Jun is a stubborn and hard stone, and may not be able to do things sincerely.

However, they didn't know that the prince had some understanding of Gong Jun and the prince.

"Ming Tongzhi, you found Zhang Xiang's minions and evidence of their killing of the Ministry of Revenue from the abnormal movements of the Imperial Guards. If you are willing to use it for me, and from then on, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, a Wujin yard located in Taijing, and twenty servants, and you will be willing to live in Taijing forever."

The prince paused and said, "These twenty slaves are from the beast garden outside the imperial city. The old emperor had no preference for hunting or raising beasts. The concubines in the palace wanted many birds and obedient cubs with a gentle voice, so they raised many of them. They took care of them frequently, fed and walked, bathed and even delivered cubs. They were proficient in everything. I heard that Gong Tongzhi raised eight raccoon slaves at home, and the servants were in a hurry and often had items at home broken and damaged. This was because of their bad care. For example, the lonely Ah Hu, at most, just squatted on the roof and couldn't come down."

As he said that, he asked the palace servant to carry Ah Hu.

As soon as the raccoon entered the palace, he broke free from the palace servant and climbed onto the soft couch, and took the initiative to put his head under the prince.

Gong Jun: “…”

Deputy Commander Gong's eyes were red.

They are all raccoons, but the eight people in the family ignore him.

Unless he has food in his hands, a quilt covered in winter, and an ice basin around him in summer, these raccoon slaves never come over.

"Your Highness cares, I am grateful." Gong Jun gritted his teeth to resist the temptation, and said respectfully in a tone, "Your Highness is destined, how can I not do my best? Silver, mansion and... servants are really worthy of it. Your Highness ascends the throne soon, and our Jinyiwei should have been to die for the king."

As he said that, he felt sorry for Lu Zhang, who was dead. He wanted to be the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei safely and to make money to support his family, what other choice could he have? Could he go to join Xiang Zhang?

Zhang Xiang deceived the emperor and did not have the courage to usurp the throne.

Even if he paid Gong Jun a thousand taels of silver, Gong Jun would not look down on him.

"It's good if Gong Tongzhi understands it."

The prince did not force Gong Jun to hand over the news related to Meng Qi.

There are hundreds of ways to make people truly convinced and use it for themselves.

At this time, General Manager Chen whispered in front of the hall gate: "Your Highness, General Liu is here."

There were several generals in the court named Liu, but the only person who had been summoned by the prince repeatedly recently was Liu Dan.

Gong Jun lowered his head and stared at the palace gate with his lingering light. Sure enough, he saw that the person who came in wearing armor was General Liu Dan. In fact, Gong Jun was also surprised in his heart. What was the special thing about General Liu? Not only did Meng Qi live in his home, but even the sixth prince escaped from the palace before and hid in his mansion.

Thinking of the prince's "dissatisfaction" with him just now, Gong Jun's heart skipped a beat, and suspected that it was Liu Dan who told the prince about Meng Qi.

Liu Dan entered the door and saw the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei in the hall. He didn't think much about it, nor did he know that Gong Jun had already put a hat on his account. After he finished his tribute according to the rules of seeing the prince, he heard Gong Jun say in a deep voice:

"Your Highness still has political affairs to deal with, and I'm going to leave."

"Wait... cough!"

The prince spoke out to stop him. He held back the faint pain in his chest and frowned and said, "Mr. Gong Tongzhi, you have found that a few days ago an imperial guard was sent to surround General Liu's mansion. General Liu happened to tell Gu the danger that day. General Liu couldn't understand the reason why Zhang Xiang was urgently trying to kill him to silence him. Gong Tongzhi was keen to investigate the case and was good at finding clues. General Liu might as well tell the whole story again and ask Gong Tongzhi to solve his doubts."

The two looked at each other in surprise.

When Lu Zhang was still alive, Gong Jun was ordered to investigate the Ministry of Revenue, mainly for military rations in the northern border.

Liu Dan attacked the bandits in Pingzhou, and the food and grass were inferior as good ones. The shortage of weight was related to the prime minister in the court. The suspect was Zhang Xiang, but there was no evidence except a letter.

"........will the general see other important things in Pingzhou?" Gong Jun asked step by step.

If things fall into a dead end, it means that you have been wrong at the beginning and you have to go another way. The reason why Gong Jun suspected that Zhang Xiang was in a hurry to kill Liu Dan must be not that piece of paper, nor even the military rations in the northern border.

"this--"

Liu Dan looked at the prince hesitantly.

The prince nodded, and Liu Dan felt relieved, so he deliberately vaguely encountered Meng Qi and Mo Li, and told him about the investigation of Si family's stolen gold mines and colluding with the Qiuling County government.

"I didn't expect that day that the Si family was trying to rebel! The young master of the Si family was said to be the disciple of the Qingwu ancestor."

The prince is familiar with the name Qingwu Ancestor, and this is the man who is trying to use the second prince.

Not to mention Gong Jun, he began to frown when he heard the four words "Qingwu Ancestor".

"Wait, the general said just now...you got a book of accounts?"

"That's right, the Si family bribed the bribe account book that the government took care of more than one care in the name of going out for business."

Gong Jun, who had the resumes and factional positions of officials above the Qi Dynasty, immediately said: "Pingzhou magistrate Wu Zhang was a disciple of Zhang Xiang, a Jinshi in the ninth year of Yuanxiang, and the examiner at that time was Zhang Xiang."

Master Fang, a classmate of the same year... Scholars pay attention to these things the most.

"The magistrate Wu accepted the filial piety of the Si family and turned to honor Zhang Xiang. Now that the matter is exposed, the charges are much more serious than those of the military rations in the northern border." Gong Jun decisively determined that the matter was here, and he asked quickly, "Where is the account book now?"

"It was destroyed when the earth moved." Liu Dan said in annoyance.

“…”

"Your Highness forgives your crime, really... the entire Qiuling County was burned completely. I will almost die and live without caring about anything else." Liu Dan apologized, "There are only a few records that have not been forgotten in his mind."

The prince sighed.

The cough became louder and louder, and the palace servant hurried over to help him, and then rushed to get the medicine.

Liu Dan and Gong Jun did not get the fate of leaving, so they could only watch the palace people busy around the prince.

"Meow!"

Ah Hu suddenly shouted at Fang Liang.

Gong Jun was stunned and looked up. At this time, General Manager Chen hurriedly ran in to report.

"Your Highness, the miracle doctor is here."

Gong Jun Daqi, shouldn't he be an imperial physician? How could he be called a miracle doctor? Before he went out, he clearly heard that the prince was in a serious condition and could not even get up. In the blink of an eye, the prince killed the emperor and wanted to ascend the throne himself. Could it be that it was all the contribution of this miracle doctor?

As soon as a thought arose, Gong Jun said that he would stay to see the skill of a miracle doctor.

When General Manager Chen invited the person in, Gong Jun and Liu Dan felt the outlines familiar, and rubbed their eyes again and were stunned for a moment.

Doctor Mo?
