The best ring

"Who are these two?" Guanzhuo looked at the two mysteriously dressed people, but Yuan Ji valued them very much.

"Take off your hoods and let Shangshu Guan take a look at you." Yuanji said calmly.

Then, the hoods on the heads of the two people were taken off, and Guanzhuo finally saw their faces clearly.

"Gu Lin?!"

When Guanzhuo saw Gu Lin, he exclaimed. As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Guan Zhuo was naturally no stranger to Gu Lin. The reason why he was surprised was because he did not expect to see Gu Lin here. He had suspected it before. When the eldest prince was related to the poisoning of the late emperor, Guanzhuo had wanted to investigate Gu Lin and start from Gu Lin. After all, as the chief aide of the eldest prince, Gu Lin must know a lot of things.

However, when Guan Zhuo wanted to investigate Gu Lin, Gu Lin had disappeared. At that time, Guan Zhuo had two guesses: Gu Lin was either killed or hidden by the eldest prince. , and which situation it was, Guan Zhuo was still not sure until the eldest prince escaped from the imperial capital.

But he never thought that he would actually see Gu Lin here at this time.

"Guan Shangshu, it's me." Gu Lin smiled bitterly.

If it weren't for some mistake, he wouldn't have met Guanzhuo until now, and he wouldn't have to live in such a state of fear for so long.

Guanzhuo looked at the other person.

Guanzhuo didn't know this person, but in Yuanji's words, this person was as important as Gu Lin, which explained the problem.

"Guan Shangshu, let Gu Lin tell you what happened." Yuanji did not introduce the doctor, but directly asked Gu Lin to explain the eldest prince's murder of the late emperor.

Guanzhuo nodded. He was also curious now about how much Gu Lin knew, and whether the eldest prince had anything to do with the poisoning of the late emperor.

So Gu Lin told Guan Zhuo what happened again.

Guanzhuo's face was serious. Although he had guessed many things before, but now when he heard Gu Lin's story, he was still shocked and couldn't calm down.

It was actually the late emperor who was poisoned by the eldest prince!

That was the late emperor's biological son. For the sake of the throne, the eldest prince actually killed his father, which was outrageous to both humans and gods.

This matter, said by Gu Lin, is very worthy of belief. After all, Gu Lin was the chief staff around the eldest prince before. He exposed the eldest prince, which is naturally easy for people to believe. What's more, Yuanji and the others also brought the doctor. .

"I did prepare the medicine, but I didn't know about his eldest prince, let alone that he wanted to poison the late emperor." The doctor explained with tears.

For him, this matter was not actually an injustice. The medicine he prepared for the eldest prince was originally a murderous poison. Zhao Xuan had spent a lot of money to buy it from him. This doctor also knew that Zhao Xuan To buy this medicine, he was probably going to kill someone. However, because Zhao Xuan paid a lot of money, he didn't bother to care who Zhao Xuan wanted to kill. Anyway, he was not the one who killed him.

However, the doctor did not expect that the person who bought his medicine was actually the eldest prince, and the person the eldest prince wanted to kill was actually the late emperor.

This matter suddenly became a big deal, and the doctor now regretted it extremely. If he had known about the current situation, he would never have sold the medicine to Zhao Xuan.

Guanzhuo looked at the doctor and asked, "Do you still have that medicine in your hand?"

After all, the medicine that poisoned the old emperor was special and not something ordinary people could prepare.

"Yes." The doctor said quickly. Now he just hopes that he can cooperate with these big shots and make meritorious service. Naturally, he does not dare to lie to Guanzhuo's inquiry.

"You can match it with another one." Guanzhuo said.

"good."

Soon someone from the Ministry of Punishment took the doctor away. When Yuanji saw this, he said: "Guan Shangshu, this person is very important. You must protect him. Now there are many people who don't want His Highness the Second Prince to clear his grievances."

"I will." Guanzhuo nodded: "The people who are with him now are the people I trust the most."

"That's good."

Guanzhuo is naturally aware of the current situation and knows that Yuan Ji's words are not unfounded. There are definitely many people in the court who hope that this matter will remain in such a stalemate. They definitely do not want the second prince who has the support of Yuan Ji, Hou Yi and Hou Zhong to be released from prison. For this reason, it is very possible that they did something extraordinary. The reason why Yuanji was so careful when he brought people to the Punishment Department was also due to this concern.

Therefore, Guanzhuo naturally has to protect such an important witness.

"Guan Shangshu." Gu Lin spoke again: "Last time, part of the medicine was not used up, and it was put away by the eldest prince. I know where the medicine is hidden."

"I'll send someone to find him immediately!"

Afterwards, Guan Zhuo immediately sent people to the palace to look for the remaining poison in the eldest prince's palace. The eldest prince had already escaped from the palace, so naturally no one would stop Guan Zhuo's people from searching.

"How?" Yuan Ji smiled and said, "I said that after Guan Shangshu meets these two people, he will let His Highness the Second Prince go, right?"

Guanzhuo looked at Yuan Ji and said: "The matter has not been decided yet. The second prince cannot be released for the time being. However, don't worry, Yuan Shangshu. I will investigate this matter as soon as possible and give you, the second prince, the late emperor, and the people of the world an explanation." ”

Although the matter is basically clear now, some evidence has not yet been obtained, so Guanzhuo cannot let people go casually.

Yuan Ji also understood this, but he was not as worried as before. With Gu Lin, the doctor and the poison, Yuan Ji believed that it would not be long before the second prince could be rescued from prison.

At this time, a subordinate came to report that Zhou Yanfeng had someone notify Guan Zhuo to come to the palace to discuss the matter of disaster relief for the people.

In recent years, the situation in Yanfeng Kingdom has been very bad, and rebels have risen everywhere. The reason why the people rebelled is that they could not survive. However, although the old emperor has provided disaster relief many times, it has not been very effective. First, the officials below were corrupt and swallowed up most of the relief food. Second, Yanfeng Kingdom did not have too much inventory, and there were too many people who needed to be rescued. In this way, naturally there would not be much effect.

If the problem is not solved, it will always exist. Now Zhou Yanfeng should want to discuss this matter.

The Ministry of Revenue should indeed take the lead in providing relief to the people, but before the old emperor was there, Zhou Yanfeng naturally had no right to take the lead in organizing it, and had to get the old emperor to speak. Now, their Yanfeng country has no new emperor yet, so Zhou Yanfeng naturally became the organizer.

"Heh, this is to show us your power." Yuan Ji naturally heard the words of the official from the Ministry of Justice, and he knew that Zhou Yanfeng must have sent someone to inform him and Hou Yi.

And Zhou Yanfeng chose this time to discuss this matter, obviously not without reason.
