Order of Heaven

After Gong Que left Qianfengju, Mo Ran was summoned. Last night, because Yue Yin was injured, he hadn't carefully understood the situation of the arrest last night.

"Young Master, this subordinate is incompetent, let that person run away." Mo Ran knelt on one knee and lowered his head.

"I don't blame you, get up." Gong Que knew that Mo Ran was not at fault, but he didn't expect Wang Shudao to dare to come out to stop him openly.

"Thank you, Mr. Mo Ran." Mo Ran stood up, still resentful that he hadn't caught that person.

"How's the situation?" Gong Que asked.

"When I led someone to chase him out last night, that person had disappeared without a trace with his belongings, without leaving any trace, so there was no way to track him down." Mo Ran returned.

"So fast? There is no trace at all?" Gong Que said silently for a moment: "It seems that he still has someone to respond to in the city of Yizhou. The signal flare last night was not only for Wang Shudao to see, but also to seek help from his companions." .”

"Young Master said so, it is very likely to be the case." Mo Ran agreed, "Young Master has exposed his identity last night, do you want to start immediately? If you delay for a long time, the subordinates are afraid that there will be more accidents."

When discussing with Yue Yin, Gong Que had already decided to take down Wang Shudao with the secret decree and hard-to-get evidence, first put him in the dungeon and then interrogate him slowly, but now that Mo Ran mentioned it, Gong Que suddenly remembered another important matter thing.

"Not good! Mo Ran, hurry up, take someone to the spring scene, and make sure to bring Miss Ruomeng back safely." Gong Que got up and said to Mo Ran, feeling faintly that it might be too late.

"Yes, young master, this subordinate will go now!" Mo Ran knew what his young master's worries were when he heard it, and after taking the order, he quickly ran out to take people to the spring scenery.

I hope there is still time.

Gong Que said silently in his heart.

In the government office.

Wang Shudao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face full of panic and anxiety.

"Don't worry, my lord, the master will find a way to save us." Wu Gong persuaded from the side.

"You said how could I not be in a hurry! Last night you said that he would definitely be able to take his things and leave, but now he has left, but he didn't take all the things away! How could the Minister of Criminal Affairs let me go when he got the evidence! "Wang Shudao shouted at Wu Gong.

"My lord, you did hold back that Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who appeared suddenly last night. He could have run away, but who would have thought that the young master of the Yue family would also come and stop him." Wu Gong was also quite distressed. said.

"What do you think we should do now? I will die if I run or not!" Wang Shudao sat down at the table in a hurry and hammered the table.

Wu Gong calmed down and thought for a while and said to Wang Shudao: "My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. The only thing we have to do now is to send the wife and the young master to a safe place. As long as you don't plead guilty, my lord, I think the master will find a way to send your lord to a safe place." You saved it."

Wang Shudao gradually calmed down after listening to Wu Gong's words. The most urgent thing is to send the two of them out first. The master has a high position and power, and it is only a matter of time before he wants to save himself.After figuring it out, Wang Shudao immediately ordered his servants to take Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziming to escape from the government office first, and he also planned to kill him without pleading guilty.

After Wang Shudao arranged everything, he sat at home and waited for the arrival of the palace. He knew that he couldn't run away, so he stopped doing more useless struggles.But when he remembered why he was in such a situation, he became furious. That lowly maid Ruomeng who had been with him for several years dared to betray him. It was in vain for him to trust her so much. Turn your elbows out.snort!You can't afford to betray me!Wang Shudao's expression gradually became ferocious.

Not long after, Gong Que brought people to the government office.

The government soldiers at the gate originally planned to block the palace, but as soon as the palace presented the secret decree written by the current Holy Majesty, the government soldiers who had been on the verge of swords fell to their knees in fear.

The palace entered the inner courtyard unimpeded, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Wang Shudao sitting in the hall.

"Take it!" Gong Que gave an order, and the guards behind him took Wang Shudao into custody.

"Put all the relatives in the courtyard into prison, and control the income of all the government soldiers. They are not allowed to act rashly, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy!" Gong Que stood upright under the upright plaque and gave orders.

"Yes!" The subordinates around him took the order and immediately went to carry it out.

Gong Que looked at Wang Shudao who did not resist and let others suppress him, sneered and said, "You are very sensible."

The embarrassed Wang Shudao looked up at the palace and said, "The tiger has fallen into Pingyang, so I won't make fun of myself anymore."

"Press it down." Gong Que didn't want to look at him any more.

Someone from outside came to report: "Report to my lord, there is only Wang Shudao in the inner court, and the others are missing."

"What? Run away?" Gong Que said.

"Looking at the situation in the house, it should have been running away for a while." The subordinate returned.

"Take people to chase, seal the city gate, and arrest everyone!" Gong Que ordered.

"As ordered!"

No wonder Wang Shudao is so peaceful, it turned out that it had been arranged long ago, did he think that he could escape like this, what an idiot!

"Young Master, Young Master!" Mo Ran ran in from the door.

"How? Did you bring it back?" Gong Que asked anxiously.

"Bring it back." Mo Ran's tone was low and his face was solemn, "We went late, Wang Shudao sent someone there last night, the beast was raped and killed Miss Ruomeng, and Miss Ruomeng died in the room."

After hearing this, Gong Que's expression darkened in vain: "Find a good place and have a decent burial."

Mo Ran couldn't bear to see his young master's darkened eyes and self-blaming expression. After two glances, he really didn't know how to explain it, so he turned and went to make arrangements for Ruomeng's funeral.

"Come here." Gong Que called out while sitting on the chair.

"Your subordinate is here." A guard in black stepped forward.

"Go, bring Wang Shudao forward and hit fifty big boards." Gong Que said with a cold expression.

The guard in black was a little puzzled, is the trial going to start so soon?But I didn't dare to ask more questions, so I had to do it.

"Search all over the city, none of Wang Shudao's wife and son will be allowed to escape, and the master must also be arrested, and if caught, report it immediately." Gong Que ordered the people below.

"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away." After speaking, he turned and left.

After Gong Que arranged everything properly, he went back to Yue's house alone, and walked to Yue Yin's residence.

He looked up at the three meaningful and elegant characters above the gate of the courtyard - Qianfengju.

Gong Que raised his leg and walked in, suddenly, he wanted to see Yue Yin very much.

When he entered, Yue Yin was sitting in front of the case and looking at something, but when he saw Gong Que approaching, Yue Yin put everything down.

"What's wrong?" Yue Yin looked at Gong Que's expression a little downcast, "Is things not going well?"

Gong Que walked up to Yue Yin and sat down: "It's pretty smooth, but Master Wu Gong and Wang Shudao's relatives escaped, and they are hunting them down."

"That's good." Yue Yin wanted to pick up the paper on the case and continue reading, but found that Gong Que was still frowning and asked, "Did something happen?"

"Ruomeng is dead." Gong Que said.

"What! What's going on?" Yue Yin was still a little surprised to hear the news.

"Wang Shudao found out that she betrayed Wang Shudao in order to help me." Gong Que said.

After listening to Gong Que's words, Yue Yin understood the reason, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "It's a pity."

"I promised her, if she helps me, I will bring her out of the spring." Gong Que lowered his head slightly, "I broke my promise."

Yue Yin probably guessed the reason why Ruomeng risked his life to help Gong Que. He also knew that Gong Que was a man of his word, and even though he was usually a little cold towards others, he actually remembered that others treated him so well. His good.For Ruomeng's death, he must be blaming himself for not protecting her well, and he must also feel frustrated in his heart because of the recent mistakes one after another. I guess I feel very guilty.

Yue Yin knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he didn't speak, but reached out and squeezed Gong Que's shoulder comfortingly.

Both of them stopped talking, and sat there quietly, the setting sun outside the window shone in, enveloping one side of Yue Yin's and Gong Que's cheeks.In the darkness, some delicate warm current slipped through Yue Yin's heart; Gong Que sat beside Yue Yin like this, those low emotions slowly dissipated, and the frowning brows gradually relaxed.

"Would you like a drink?" Yue Yin saw that Gong Que had adjusted, and said, "I want to drink a little bit."

Gong Que originally wanted to say let's have a pot, but suddenly remembered that Yue Yin's injury hadn't healed yet, and changed his words: "Next time, let's drink with you, your injury is still not healed, so bear with it."

Yue Yin couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "Why are you more strict than my mother?"

Gong Que didn't laugh along with Yue Yin, but looked at Yue Yin deeply with his eyes: "I just care about you."

As soon as Gong Que said this, Yue Yin immediately stopped laughing, looked at Gong Que with a serious expression and asked, "Are you serious?"

Gong Que knew what Yue Yin was asking, so he looked at Yue Yin solemnly and said, "Seriously, I—"

Yue Yin didn't wait for Gong Que to finish speaking, then said: "I see." He hastily interrupted Gong Que's next words, not because he was afraid of hearing, but because he felt that he hadn't thought it through yet, Gong Que said it, what should he do? answer.

Yue Yin interrupted him, Gong Que didn't continue, he glanced at the thing in front of Yue Yin and asked, "What was Yue Yin looking at just now?"

Yue Yin tidied up the scattered papers on the case and said, "Some information was found by someone, and I want to see the current situation in the court."

"You can ask me these, what do you want to know?" Gong Que said.

"I understand almost everything now, and you've been busy recently, so I don't want to waste your time." Yue Yin said with a smile.

"In the future, if you want to know anything, just ask me, it's okay." Gong Que said.

"En." Yue Yin replied, in fact, he had thought about asking Gong Que at the beginning, but after thinking about it, Gong Que was an official in the court, and his official position was not low, plus his father's status in the court, I'm afraid there would still be some It's hard to say, it's better to check it yourself.

Before the arrival of the palace, Yue Yin had already read about it, and he roughly understood that the imperial concubine is now in full swing, and is currently divided into two factions.One faction is dominated by the four princes, and the other is dominated by the six princes. Because the current emperor does not have any sons, these two are the most likely to win the heir.The person above Wang Shudao is very likely to be one of these two, that is to say, it is one of the fourth prince and the sixth prince who made a move against them.But now that the clues are broken, it is a bit difficult to know who it is, so I have to check slowly if I am in a hurry.

Gong Que naturally understands why Yue Yin has to bypass his troublesome investigation instead of asking himself directly. After all, he has not told Yue Yin until now, and his father also has plots against his family's Tian Xing Ling.Because of his identity, Yue Yin didn't want to embarrass himself, and because of his father, he couldn't confess to Yue Yin completely. He really didn't know whether to thank Yue Yin for his thoughtfulness or to blame himself for not being honest enough.

At the gate of the city, a woman in disguise and a young man pretending to be a sick man sat in a carriage.

The soldiers guarding the city were closely checking the pedestrians passing by. When it was the turn of the carriage, the driver refused to accept the check on the grounds that his young master was seriously ill and unable to breathe.

"There is an order from above that all passers-by must be interrogated!" The city guard wanted to open the curtain to check.

Just as it was about to be opened, a servant girl in the car came out. The servant girl avoided everyone's sight and gave the soldier who was searching a gold ingot, and signaled the soldier to let them pass by with her eyes.The soldier saw that this ingot of gold was much more than his annual salary, so he was tempted. He glanced at it casually and said let it go.

The coachman said words of gratitude while driving out of the city.

Just as he was about to leave the city, a voice came from behind: "Wait!"

Mo Ran led the people over, and the carriage was stopped again.
