Back then, Fang Jun was falsely accused by his bribed servants. Gao Shilian had also ridiculed Fang Xuanling for being careless in running the family and lacking dignity. But now, in the blink of an eye, this trick was used on himself...
Glancing at his servant Xianyu Ben, Gao Shilian sighed with emotion.
Of course there was anger, but it was more out of Lian Po's helplessness.
If we could go back ten years, who would dare to play such a cheap trick in front of him?
He didn't want to ask Xian Yuben why he did this. As a servant of the Gao family, he was born as a member of the Gao family and died as a ghost of the Gao family. For him to bite the head of the family like this is not just ungrateful. Even the laws of the country are intolerable. If someone hadn't been forced to use means worse than death, this would never have happened.
Since you are being forced, what's the use of asking why?
Fang Jun can explain the servant who framed him, is it possible that Gao Shilian is not as good as the mallet?
With a sigh, Gao Shilian said calmly to Xian Yuben: "I won't ask you why. You won't survive anyway, and your family can't stay in the Gao family. After you die, I will let them return to their place of origin. I make a living by farming in my hometown in Bohai."
Although he was angry in his heart, facing a servant who had framed him with his life, even if he raised a butcher's knife and killed him all over the house, what would be the benefit?
This depression did not come from this servant, but from the person who forced him behind the scenes.
He can see clearly, but Xian Yushi can't!
Even though Mrs. Shenzhai is usually very arrogant, her knowledge is limited, and all her anger is poured into her son. When Xian Yuben heard that he was ordered by Gao Shilian to fabricate and spread rumors, he was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face, and then became furious. He jumped up like an angry rooster, screamed and rushed towards Zhu Xianyu Ben rushed over and screamed in a sad voice: "How dare you? Your family has been deeply favored by the Gao family, and now you bite back, you wolf-hearted beast, I will strangle you to death!"
He said "Strangle you to death", but when he threw himself in front of Xianyu Ben, ten sharp nails were scratching his face like crazy. The Baiqi and Yamen around him had no time to stop him, and Xianyu Ben's face was covered with blood in a few seconds. a mess.
It was probably because he felt guilty, or he had been suppressed by Xian Yu's power for a long time and did not dare to resist. He just knelt upright, and no matter how crazy Xian Yu was, it seemed as if his face was scratched to pieces and bloody.
Jin Wang Li Zhi was sitting opposite, looking at Xian Yu like a crazy female leopard trying to tear the prey into pieces, flying flesh and blood, and even splashing on his luxurious brocade robe...
After all, he was just a young man. How had he ever seen such a tragic scene?
Li Zhi's face turned pale, and he was so frightened that his heart was in a ball. Looking at Xian Yu's ferocious face, he was afraid that she would pounce on him as soon as she turned around. He subconsciously leaned back and shouted: "Stop her quickly! Stop her quickly. !”
Everyone around him hurriedly stepped forward to pull Xianyu away.
Xian Yu was still furious. While struggling hard and baring his teeth and claws, he yelled: "A bunch of evil-hearted bastards, who dares to touch me? Get out of my way quickly, I have to tear this hard-working beast to pieces today!" Eat and drink from the Gao family. The Gao family has given you a future. Now that your wings are strong and you are capable, if you are ungrateful and bite back, are you still not a human being? Even if the wild dog outside the door throws it a bone, It also knows how to wag its tail at you. People like you are worse than dogs..."
This old woman was not young, but she had a really good figure. The three or four strong men couldn't control themselves for a moment while they were pulling hands and feet. She scratched Xianyu Ben's face several times before she was pulled away. Although the person was pulled away, he kept mumbling curses and curses.
Next to him, Jin Wang Li Zhi's pretty face turned green and white, and he was extremely embarrassed...
Why are you eating and drinking from the Gao family? Isn't this just calling him the Li family's royal family for being ungrateful? At that time, Gao Shilian not only married his niece to His Majesty Li Er, but also relied on his influence to protect Li Tang. It can be said that he made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, the niece's son whom I raised today actually bit me back...
Li Zhi was not angry at all. He could understand the moods of Gao Shilian and Xian Yu, but he himself felt a little guilty. After all, this was his mother's uncle... But that's how things are in the world. Yesterday you and I fought side by side to conquer the world, but today we are not. It's because the camps are different and they treat each other like enemies... What can be done?
She's just an old woman, she can be scolded as much as she wants, and she'll lose a lot of meat, so let her be...
He turned to Gao Shilian: "Normally, the confession of such a lowly person is not credible. How can Duke Shen do such a despicable thing if he is a noble man with high moral integrity? It's just that I have to carry out the interrogation strictly due to my responsibilities, and will be the final judge. His confession and the handling of the case were presented to the emperor for his knowledge...but I wonder if Mr. Shen Guo has anything to say?"
Li Yifu next to him looked at Li Zhi's sincere expression and secretly thought in his heart that His Highness's shameless face was no less generous than his own. He has a bright future...
Gao Shilian's face was indifferent. Now that things have happened, what else can he say?
"That's not necessary. His Highness is devoted to the king's affairs. How dare I interfere with it and influence the trial? If there is no chance, a memorial will be submitted to His Majesty's desk afterwards, saying that I relied on my old man to interfere in the judiciary and tried to use his power to suppress others to cover up his fault..."
Seeing Gao Shilian's half-smiling expression, Li Zhi felt guilty. He was certainly an old fox...
Now that he was seen through, this idea was naturally given up.
Li Zhi immediately stood up and saluted: "My father is still waiting for news in the palace. I dare not neglect it. I will go back to Beijing on business, so I will take my leave now. I hope Shen Guogong will forgive me for my rudeness and disrespect today..."
Gao Shilian sat still and just waved his hands, his expression showing no emotion or anger: "Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. I have had many ups and downs in my life, how can I care about this little face? There is just one thing I hope Your Highness can say to the auxiliary machine when he returns, I will later submit my resignation and request to be promoted to an official position, but for the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, I will personally recommend candidates to Your Majesty, so that the auxiliary officials should not worry about it."
After living a lifetime, he has seen too many conspiracies, tricks, and tricks. How could Gao Shilian not see through the intention behind the whole thing at this time?
It's just that Changsun Wuji took a fancy to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in his hands...
It's just that his eldest grandson, Wuji, could plot against himself in such a sinister manner, causing him to lose all face and his reputation for the rest of his life to be stained with flaws. How could he let him get his wish so easily?
Want the position of Minister of Civil Affairs?
No way!
Li Zhi straightened up, clicked his tongue, and couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid Shen Guogong has misunderstood. Even if you resign, not everyone can do this official position. Zhao Guogong had a word with me the day before yesterday, and he is actually more optimistic about it. Gao Shilang takes over this position..."
Who is Gao Shilang?
Naturally, it was Gao Jifu, Gao Shilian’s younger brother and Minister of Civil Service...
Gao Shilian was suddenly startled and stunned.
Then, a burst of anger rose from his chest!
When Jin Wang Li Zhi led a group of people out into the wind and rain, Gao Shilian could no longer suppress it. He screamed and kicked over the table in front of him, scattering pens, inks, paper, inkstones, teapots, and cups on the floor.
He never imagined that Changsun Wuji, who he had supported personally all his life, could use such clumsy and sinister tactics to force him to become an official.
He never imagined that Gao Jifu, who he had single-handedly promoted and trusted, would collude with Changsun Wuji and stab him in the back...
"Wow!"
The anger boiled and boiled in his chest, and finally he couldn't suppress it. It turned into a mouthful of blood and spurted out violently. Then his vision went black. He couldn't breathe with a breath held in his chest. His mind was spinning for a while, and he fell backwards.
"Oops!" Xian Yu screamed in fright, rushed over to hold Gao Shilian's body and shouted: "What's going on? What's going on?"
The servants and maids in the house were all frightened. It took a long time before they were awakened by Xian Yu's heartbreaking shouts. They hurriedly gathered around to check the situation.
But seeing Gao Shilian's eyes closed tightly, his face as golden as paper, he no longer knew what was going on.
After all, Xian Yu had a tough character and was a little calmer. He hugged Gao Shilian and said, "The master's condition is unusual and cannot be cured by the doctor. Please send someone to the palace to ask for an imperial doctor as soon as possible!"
"Here!"
Immediately, a servant responded and ran out of the door, ignoring the heavy rain that made his clothes completely soaked in an instant. The remaining maids and servants helped the unconscious Gao Shilian up and carried him to the fire bed in the back room, and prepared hot water and other things to serve him.
Heavy rain poured down, and the entire Duke Shen's Mansion was in chaos...
