After going to court, Yun Yaoyao, who had separated Wan Gao and Du, was in a good mood.
It just so happened that news came from the Ministry of Punishment that the method adopted yesterday against the Huns' death knights was very effective!
After Yan Qinghong tortured them, he formed a Xiongnu choir and sang to them family members and hometown, while Hujia Pipa continued to play.
Then another round of torture, another round of singing music, another round of torture, another round of singing music, another round of torture, another round of singing music...
After going back and forth, no matter how tough the Hun Death Rider's mind is, he can't help but think about the things and people he cares about, and then think about his current situation, and feel sad from it.
But they were still stubborn and refused to say a word!
No matter, at night, Yan Qinghong put the horses in to accompany them.
When the Xiongnu Death Horse saw the horse, he thought of his time in the Xiongnu, and looked at the dark and cold sky prison he was in now, and he felt completely sad!
Horses are their soul mates. What's wrong with horses? They won't betray you, they will only accompany you.
So, in the stillness of the night, the Huns' death knights could no longer bear it. They hugged their horses, whispered in their ears, and whispered their pain.
As everyone knows, Xia Ruichu, who has extraordinary hearing, is hiding in the next door prison.
She frantically wrote down what they said. They were speaking in Xiongnu language. Xia Ruichu wrote it down in Yanchi language and then handed it over to someone who was proficient in Xiongnu language to decipher it.
What's more, the Ministry of Punishment also came to Wu Tingshou, who knew animal language.
She communicated with the horses and asked what the Huns' death horses said last night. These horses were the same ones that the Huns paid tribute to, and they also spoke the Huns language.
In this way, a lot of useful information that the Huns would not reveal even to death was tricked out!
The guard compiled all the information obtained and handed it to Yun Yaoyao.
Yun Yaoyao took the booklet, browsed it roughly, and came up with a few key pieces of information.
The Hun Death Rider was still wondering how Tu Shanze died suddenly on his horse.
The leader of the Hun Death Riders has not been caught yet.
They want to take every opportunity to escape.
Yan Qinghong also read this excerpt and became angry as soon as he saw it. Hey, you entered the prison of our punishment department and you dared to think about escaping!
So, with a wave of his hand, Yan Qinghong sent people to pick out the hand tendons and hamstrings of the Huns' death knights.
Among the information presented, there was also some description of the appearance of the death knight leader.
Moreover, Yan Qinghong also has some testimonies left by eyewitnesses when the Xiongnu Death Riders robbed Tushanze.
Combining the two, Zhuang Xun restored the portrait of the Xiongnu Death Rider leader.
Yan Qinghong immediately sent a painter to copy the portrait, intending to post it on every street in the capital to look for this person.
When the Long Shadow Guard behind Yun Yaoyao saw the portrait, his eyes froze and he immediately stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the man who held the woman in the carriage hostage yesterday bears an 80%25 resemblance to this portrait!"
Yun Yaoyao was stunned.
Long Shadow Guard continued to report: "The woman on the carriage yesterday was from the Du family. After the man held her hostage, he lurked into the Du family and fed her poison as a threat with the antidote."
"Your Majesty, you asked us to act according to the situation, but my subordinates did not act rashly. They only sent people to keep an eye on the woman's yard!"
Yun Yaoyao really didn't expect that things could be such a coincidence.
After going round and round, I returned to yesterday's act of kindness.
Immediately, a smile emerged from the corner of Yun Yaoyao's mouth.
The leader of the Xiongnu Death Riders sneaked into the Du family, which was a perfect opportunity to cause trouble.
"Yan Aiqing, wait until you are like this..."
After leaving Tianlao, Yun Yaoyao was about to rush to Qianqing Palace, but on the way she met Gao Chongguang, who had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as Gao Chongguang saw Yun Yaoyao, he immediately wagged his tail to please her and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you!"
"Oh? Say." Yun Yaoyao stood with her hands behind her hands.
Gao Chongguang came over and whispered: "This matter has something to do with Wei Chen's father. Just now I overheard the conversation between my father and his confidants. He said that in order to remedy today's incident, a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan should be introduced to Du Shangshu in advance. …”
Gao Chongguang felt no burden about eavesdropping on his father's secrets and leaking them to His Majesty.
How can eavesdropping by a scholar be called eavesdropping? This is called saving his father who has gone astray!
Dad has such a filial son, so let’s have some fun!
After hearing Gao Chongguang's report, Yun Yaoyao raised her forehead and smiled bitterly: "You are really..."
How is this a useless mascot? He is clearly auspicious!
Concubine Tu, you can leave the palace again today~
At the same time, Du Fu.
Gao Dexiang personally drove Du Guanliu back to his mansion, constantly apologizing and explaining, and spouting flattery one after another.
Du Guanliu's expression softened slightly.
Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed unlikely that Gao Dexiang would betray him at this time.
Gao Dexiang struck while the iron was hot and said flatteringly: "Master Du, although your Majesty has not relented in leaving the matter of trade between the north and south of the canal to you, I have other ways to help you."
Du Guanliu became interested: "Oh? Come quickly."
Gao Dexiang: "There is a shipwreck named Hua in the south of the Yangtze River. He owns the largest private shipyard in the south and specializes in water transportation. Now the official has invited him to Gaofu as a guest. If he is introduced to Master Du..."
The remaining Gao Dexiang did not say anything clearly, but both of them knew that after the Du family cooperated with this wealthy businessman, once the canal was officially completed, how much benefit the two parties could gain from it...
Du Guanliu looked at Gao Dexiang and his eyes became kind again. He took Gao Dexiang's hand and said affectionately: "I was deliberately putting on a show for Your Majesty in the hall just now. Don't take it to heart. Zide, you have always been well-rounded and have many friends." Shan Yuan, I really saw you right!”
Gao Dexiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked back with the same emotion: "Zi De naturally understands your good intentions, and it is Zide's duty to share your worries with you!"
Inwardly: Bah! I believe you!
"Zi De..."
"adult……"
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. Why don't we invite the wealthy businessman here now, and the three of us will discuss the big plan together!"
In the Imperial Palace, in the Hall of Qianqing, Tu Shanjin had just finished approving the memorial when he saw Yun Yaoyao throwing two sets of clothes.
Tu Shanjin: "?"
"You were just impeached by the censor today, aren't you planning to dress up and leave the palace?"
Yun Yaoyao grinned: "You're right, I just plan to leave the palace!"
Tu Shanjin: "...Why did you leave the palace this time?"
Yun Yaoyao told Tu Shanjin everything about the leader of the Xiongnu Death Riders and Gao Chongguang's whistleblower, and smiled: "This is a good opportunity."
"We will leave the palace quietly later, no one is allowed to say anything."
"Pipijin, let's go!"
Soon, a carriage secretly drove out of the palace at high speed.
At this time, the Du Mansion had already held a banquet, and a wealthy flower merchant was invited. The three of them drank and talked about things, how comfortable they were!
Just when the three of them had agreed on all the details and looked forward to their future plans, the courtyard door creaked and someone pushed it open from the outside.
Du Guanliu showed dissatisfaction and raised his voice: "I don't know what I am talking about..."
Facing Yun Yaoyao's majestic and cold face, Du Guanliu's words suddenly stopped: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty?!"
Then kneel down from your heart.
Gao Dexiang's mind went blank, and he broke into a cold sweat behind his back. Why did His Majesty leave the palace again? !
Then he also knelt down from his heart.
The wealthy businessman surnamed Hua stared at Yun Yaoyao's face with a pair of round eyes, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, unable to react for a moment.
God! It was the first time in my life that I saw the living emperor!
Then he knelt down between the two of them.
Glancing at the three of them, Yun Yaoyao said calmly: "Ping Shen."
The three of them stood in a row like quails, mainly because they didn't know why His Majesty came to the Du Mansion in person, and they felt so panicked!
Du Guanliu suppressed the surprise and uncertainty in his heart and asked tentatively: "Why did your majesty suddenly take control of the Du Mansion? I am unprepared, and I am afraid I have neglected your majesty."
Yun Yaoyao said nothing, and three more people walked out from behind her.
Tu Shanjin stood silently beside Yun Yaoyao. Although his stature was shorter than others, the aura he exuded was not inferior to anyone present.
Yan Qinghong chuckled pitifully: "I have received information that the leader of the Xiongnu Death Cavalry is now hiding in the Du Mansion. I am here to arrest him."
Gao Chongguang raised his chin arrogantly: "Of course I came to see if the Du family has formed a clique for personal gain. Mr. Du, Mr. Gao, the two adults did not go back to their respective homes to deal with their affairs after leaving court, but gathered here instead. What do you mean? "
Gao Chongguang: My biological father raised me, and I am very open to my biological father!
