Chapter 74
"My lord, there are letters here, and some of them are very suspicious. They seem to be related to assassins."

An officer hurriedly ran towards this side, and couldn't help shouting loudly.

Now Yang Yuze and the others are no longer surprised by this.

From the moment Gao Yaofeng escaped just now, everyone knew what was going on.

Sooner or later, some evidence related to the assassin will be found.

Yang Yuze looked at the letter, and passed it to Feng Jiang for a look.

"Come here, take Gao Yaofeng back to the Sheriff's Mansion." Yang Yuze waved his hand.

He secretly thought it was dangerous.

Unexpectedly, this guy really colluded with the assassin.

With this guy around, King Xiang escaped a catastrophe last time, but what about next time?

The consequences could be disastrous.

"Slow down." Feng Jiang said, "Master Yang, should I tell the prince first?"

Yang Yuze hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright, the search here is not over yet, I can just take advantage of this gap to go to the palace. Director Feng, please stay and watch Gao Yaofeng for now."

To be honest, he didn't want the power of the palace to meddle too much in the government's affairs, but this matter had a direct relationship with the Xiangwang's palace, and it was indeed unavoidable.

Even if I don't want to, I can't help it. I have to report what needs to be reported.

"Actually, the county guards are enough." Feng Jiang said with a smile.

"It's better to be careful." Yang Yuze said with a smile.

Gao Yaofeng's residence is not far from the palace, less than one mile.

Looking at Gao Yaofeng who was slumped on the ground with a pale face, Feng Jiang secretly shook his head.

If you knew it earlier, why did you have to do it in the first place?
Not very courageous, but dared to accept gold and silver from assassins.

To be honest, Gao Yaofeng was just greedy at first, greedy for money.

When a person starts to accept bribes, his handle is also caught.

The opponent used this as a threat to force him to cooperate with the assassin.

Once successful, they promised to keep him alive.

Of course, this official can no longer be held.

They can make him change his face, give him money that he can't spend in a few lifetimes, and let him find a place to be a rich man.

Gao Yaofeng gave in and took 10 taels from the other party beforehand.

For this, Feng Jiang cursed in his heart, Tian's is really generous, 10 liang shot without blinking.

Now I am the chief guard in Xiangwang's mansion, 2000 taels a year, and I have to eat or drink for 50 years.

You know, my annual income is definitely a high income, and I can beat [-]% of the people in this world.

No wonder Gao Yaofeng colluded with those assassins, the benefits given by the Tian family behind the assassins are too amazing.

In the end, Gao Yaofeng was taken to the palace.

During the interrogation at the palace, Princess Chu Xiuhui attended the hearing on behalf of the king.

Later, many letters were found in Gao Yaofeng's residence, basically they were all from a commercial firm in Luoyang, and the money was also sent in their name.

That's all Gao Yaofeng knew, and it was impossible for a real instigator to have direct contact with him.

"Princess, Gao Yaofeng will be taken into custody by the Sheriff's Mansion. At that time, the lower officials will report to the imperial court and present his confession at the same time." Yang Yuze said.

Almost everything Gao Yaofeng said can be reflected from the letter. Although the assassination was not directly mentioned above, combined with the sudden receipt of a large bank note, the evidence is conclusive.

"Pull it down." Chu Xiuhui looked cold, "Hmph, I didn't expect the ghost to be him. The princess wants to know who is the one who appointed him as the commander of the palace this time?"

"Princess? I'm afraid of this~" Yang Yuze's expression changed.

If Chu Xiuhui continues to pursue the matter, I'm afraid it will cause a big chaos.

"What are you afraid of?" Chu Xiuhui said coldly, "Those guys don't think they can hide in the dark forever. Mr. Yang, when you wrote the letter, you mentioned that it was the intention of the Xiangwang Palace. The Shangqin Guards suffered heavy casualties and needed a large sum of money to support them, and I hope the imperial court will support them."

"I understand." Yang Yuze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The princess didn't act impulsively, and didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.

She said that she wanted a large sum of money to support the pension, and she wanted the support of the court, but the meaning was very clear.

That is to take Guangjin Commercial Bank, that is, the Luoyang Commercial Firm that bribed Gao Yaofeng.

Guangjin Commercial Bank is not a big commercial firm in Luoyang, so it may be quite patient.

Those who know some inside information clearly know that he has a powerful backer behind him.

Ordinary things, really can't touch Guangjin Commercial Bank.

But this time is different, Xiangwangfu has actually given in, and I believe that other parties must give Xiangwangfu a satisfactory answer.

It's nothing more than a commercial firm, and it's no big deal for the court to raid the house.

"By the way, there is one more thing I hope Master Yang can mention again." Chu Xiuhui seemed to have remembered something again.

"Princess, please speak."

"You don't have to let Luoyang assign you the post of Commander. Deputy Commander Zheng is fine," Chu Xiuhui said.

"This?" Yang Yuze frowned slightly.

The commander of the palace is also his subordinate, not his direct subordinate.

As for the appointment of the commander of the palace, he, a local sheriff, still can't make a decision.

"I believe Luoyang will consider it. Vice Commander Zheng's family background is clean. After the general, he has been loyal and good for generations, and there will be no such thing as Gao Yaofeng again." Chu Xiuhui said.

Zheng Qingnian's ancestor was the hero of the founding of the Great Chu. He followed the Taizu in the South and North Wars, made great contributions, and was finally named Zheng Guogong.

Hundreds of years have passed, the Zheng family has long since declined, and the duke title has long since disappeared.

Zheng Qingnian was regarded as the most outstanding member of the Zheng family's generation, and he became the deputy commander only at a young age because of his outstanding martial arts skills.

Of course, his family background also has a certain influence. It is likely that the Zheng family has declined and has no title, but for the sake of his ancestors, his promotion is faster than ordinary people.

Otherwise, he would not be able to reach this official position at his age.

"I understand." Yang Yuze finally agreed.

He felt that the imperial court did not want the assassination to happen again, and the commander who was sent was still the ghost, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the imperial court?
He still knew who Zheng Qingnian was.

The Zheng family has always settled in Chang'an, and Yang Yuze has been in Chang'an for so many years, so he still understands the situation.

If Zheng Qingnian is allowed to be the leader, he can rest assured.

Regardless of Zheng Qingnian's young age, he is usually stubborn and stubborn, but his ability is worthy of recognition.

If he becomes the commander of the guards, there should be no problem with the safety of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Unless someone asked some Jianghu masters to come over.

"I don't know if the princess has any other orders. If not, I will leave first."

"Master Yang, don't worry, the royal guards suffered heavy casualties this time, and now Director Feng has just taken office, but there are not many soldiers under him," Chu Xiuhui said.

"Princess, what do you mean?" Yang Yuze was a little puzzled.

Could it be that the princess wants to send experts to guard the palace from the sheriff's mansion?
Generally speaking, the local government should not have too much contact with the local royal family, so as not to be criticized by others.

"Lord Yang, in the next few days, I want to recruit some masters from the world to serve as the personal guards of the palace. I still need your help in this matter. It is best to post some notices in the name of the county guard's mansion, so that more people in the world will know. It is better to choose the right master from them." Feng Jiang explained.

Although the palace can also post some notices to recruit personal guards, such things are easy to be targeted.

For example, secretly raising experts, wanting to rebel and so on.

Especially with Arita staring at her.

Now let the county guard's mansion help to release the news, that is to be aboveboard, to show the magnanimity of the palace.
