Chapter 34 Who killed Xuan'er?

The servant looked at the corpse lying at the foot of the steps in fear. His legs weakened and he took several steps back. He sat down on the threshold and breathed heavily. When he recovered, he plucked up the courage again. He stuck his head out and took a look at the body underneath.

"Yes, it's Young Master Gao Xuan!" The servant's body suddenly froze and he gasped. He suppressed the fear in his heart and ran down the steps, trembling with trembling fingers, tentatively reaching for Gao Xuan's nose. Next, I wanted to see if my young master was still breathing. After testing for a long time, I still couldn't feel any breath on my fingertips.

The servant's eyes widened immediately, and two words came out of his throat in disbelief: "Dead, dead."

At this time, other servants of the Gao Mansion also followed the screams and ran over in a swarm. They were so scared that they covered their mouths and exclaimed. No one noticed the blood-stained young leaf that was trampled to pieces on the steps.

"Go and notify the master!"

Three or four servants carried Gao Xuan's body into the Gao Mansion. The operation of the entire Gao Mansion was in chaos. The maids and servants were all talking privately about how Gao Xuan, the bastard, died. Who dared to be so arrogant? He killed someone and carried him to the door of his house.

Acting so arrogantly, what kind of behavior is this? This is provoking the entire Gaofu of General Zhaowu!
  The entire Gaofu mansion was filled with gloom and cries.

Gao Zhongguang, who was sitting at the head of the main hall, held his forehead irritably. Ever since he knew that Gao Xuan, a bastard, died at the back door of his house, he had been sighing and restless. Gao Xuan's body was covered with a white cloth and placed in the lobby. In the middle, he didn't even look at it.

Mrs. Gao, who was sitting next to Gao Zhongguang, patted her chest with a look of relief on her face, and her face was full of sorrow. They were all worried about whether Gao Xuan's death would implicate them.

The remaining two legitimate sons had no expression on their faces, and they were already giving face without gloating about their misfortune. After all, Gao Zhongguang had three or four concubines and seven or eight concubines and concubines. Now that one of them died, it didn't matter.

Gao Zhongguang suddenly slammed the table and asked angrily: "Where is Gao Xuan's aunt? After raising such a son, why doesn't that stupid woman come to see me?"

"That concubine is also an unworthy person. When she heard that her son was dead, she turned around and fainted. Now she is still asleep in the next room." Mrs. Gao raised her chin slightly arrogantly, with a very disdainful tone.

"That's it," Gao Zhongguang frowned, and the anxious look on his face became more intense, "I sent her out directly. There is no use staying in the house anyway."

After saying this, Gao Zhongguang stood up and paced back and forth again, his brows frowning more and more.

Mrs. Gao on the side was happy when she heard that the concubine was about to be sent away. She subconsciously covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Then she thought that General Gao had sent away a concubine and could take another concubine, so she was not so happy. The corner of her mouth With a twitch, he took off the handkerchief covering his face.

She looked up and saw General Gao walking around, feeling even more irritated. She cleared her throat and tried to persuade her with a troubled expression: "Xuan'er just started school yesterday and went to the academy with a group of friends to find that stupid king... to find him... Regarding the sixth prince, he was even beaten up in public. It’s good that the emperor didn’t blame us, Gao Mansion. If Xuan’er died, just pull him out and find a beautiful place to bury him. Why is the master so sad? ?”

Gao Zhongguang stopped, flicked his long sleeves, glared at Mrs. Gao, and scolded: "What do you know? Do you think I am sad that Gao Xuan died? It's really that long hair and short knowledge."

He sat back on the chair again, picked up the tea cup and drank a few sips, then slammed the tea cup on the table, "Gao Xuan had just finished bullying the sixth prince in the academy when he was beaten by the Jiang family and the Lu family. The legitimate daughter was beaten up, and the daughter of the Jiang family was even more powerful and directly punched a hole in Gao Xuan’s shoulder!"

His voice became lower and lower, "I just asked Eunuch Chen Fu in the palace last night to find out that the emperor only wanted to punish Gao Xuan with a three-month grounding. Gao Xuan's treacherous son also suffered some flesh injuries. I thought this matter was also It just passed..."

Mrs. Gao also became confused, "Since the Emperor has made a decision, who can kill Xuan'er?" She turned her head with evasive eyes, unable to bear to look at Gao Xuan's body again, and sighed: "Xuan'er's ...When he was carried into the house, I took a look at him from a distance. The wound in his throat was as thick as a finger. This shows that this person has deep internal strength and is not something that ordinary martial arts practitioners can do. of."

"That's the problem!" Gao Zhongguang slammed the table, sighed, and murmured in a low voice: "How many people in the world have such profound martial arts and internal strength?" His voice became lower and lower, and finally he spoke directly He muttered: "Apart from the master in the palace, who else dares to go against me, Mr. Gao?"

He took another deep breath angrily and said viciously: "Didn't you say that the sixth prince was imprisoned in Chonghua Palace by the emperor? Why did he run out again? If he didn't run out, there wouldn't be so many things!"

It makes sense for Gao Zhongguang to think this way. After all, he is now in the third rank and can be considered a good talker in the court. Generally, no one dares to offend him in the Gao Mansion, let alone act so arrogantly. Kill his son and pay him back. He delivered it to the back door of the mansion.

If it wasn't the master in the palace, he couldn't think of anyone else.

What's more, the emperor trained a group of shadows from Yin Yue Que. Each of them is a top killer with deep internal strength. It is not impossible to kill Gao Xuan with one move.

Even if the sixth prince is a fool, he is still the emperor's son. He was insulted in front of everyone. The emperor must protect the face of the royal family, but he does not want to leave a reputation as a tyrant, so he came up with this method of building a plank road to seduce Chen Cang secretly.

Not only did he protect the royal family's face, but he also warned General Gao to educate his son well.

This can all be explained.

Their family can only suffer the loss of being dumb.

After Gao Zhongguang's analysis, everyone in the room looked at each other, feeling that their head's career as an official was coming to an end.

Jiang Mansion Liangfeng Pavilion.

Jiang Fengqing had just woken up and put on her clothes. She was about to get out of bed and wash up when Xiaoying ran in in a panic and said with a horrified look: "It's not good, miss! Gao Xuan is dead! He was killed by Gao Mansion early in the morning." The servant was found dead at the back door of Gao Mansion. The condition of his death was horrifying, his throat was cut with a knife!"

She spoke with great joy, but Jiang Fengqing looked calm and had no expression on her face. Just like every morning, she opened the lid of the incense burner on the table, put silver leaves in the ashes, stirred them around, and scattered the ash in the burner. He took out the scum and replaced it with a long ash press, flattening the milky white ash powder little by little with smooth movements.

While pressing the ashes, he raised his head and asked Xiaoying, "Who is this Gao Xuan?"

"Miss, don't you remember?" Although Xiaoying was a little confused, she quickly replied: "Gao Xuan is the one who led a group of dandies to beat the sixth prince yesterday morning."

Jiang Fengqing suddenly stopped moving her hands and asked in shock: "Is the man who bullied Nangong Li dead?"

Her mind flashed inexplicably to Nangong Li, who was punched in the face by Gao Xuan that day. Nangong Li knew some martial arts. Is it really such a coincidence?
