Chapter 148: Caught Again

These two guys were as terrifying as King Kong, which scared the two men to retreat.

Gao Chong shouted coldly: "What are you two doing? Get back to me! I will follow the two men to Kaifeng Prefecture. Ziyi is responsible for the family affairs. If anything happens, I will ask him for instructions."

Gao Chong got off the horse and handed him over to Gao Wei, then said to the two officials: "Super, I am Gao Chong, let's go!"

The two shook the chain in their hands and said, "Sir Gao, I'm sorry, this is the rule in the mansion, so I have to bring this with me."

"Since it's a rule, I can't break it anymore. Please let me do it!" Gao Chong did not refuse either. The two men rushed forward, shook the iron chain in their hands, put it on him, and then the big lock Kaba sounded and locked it.

"Sir Gao, I'm sorry, let's go!" The two of them used force to pull him away.

"Stop!" He stopped them with a sarcastic shout. Emperor Rongde and Cao Sheng rushed over after hearing the news, and happened to catch up with them to take Gao Chong away.

"See Emperor Ji, General of the Left Guard." The two men were heartbroken when they saw it, and quickly knelt down and bowed.

"Unlock the chain." Zhao Jinnu stood upside down and shouted angrily. When the two soldiers heard this, they shivered all over and looked at each other in embarrassment.

"Brother, sister-in-law, don't make things difficult for the two men, they can't make decisions. I'm not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. Just look at the difference between the prison in Kaifeng Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture."

Cao Sheng stopped his wife who was about to attack and said, "Two, Gao Chong is my brother. You can take him back to Kaifeng Mansion first. We will go to the official family immediately to ask what this is.

You must remember that Kaifeng Prefecture Prime Minister Cai Mao can make things difficult for my brother; but if he really suffered a grievance, I can kill Cai Mao! You all have to be careful."

The two of them were complaining, why did they get involved in this matter? The gods fought and we little ghosts were suffering. Who did I provoke whom? However, he had to ignore Cao Sheng's warning, and had no choice but to nod and bow; then he took Gao Chong away honestly.

"Gao Wei, you all go back and wait, don't act rashly. I'll go to the official family and ask what's going on. I'll give your grandfather a cleansing."

"Thank you, Emperor Ji, thank you General. Have you heard it? Don't worry. Go back quickly!" Gao Wei finally persuaded Gao Baobao and Gao Hu.

At this time, Emperor Yifu had already returned to the palace, and she was still a little worried. Finally, she bit her teeth and asked someone to prepare a carriage to go to the vegetable house to find her sister Emperor Maode.

After Zhao Fujin returned from the Cao family's manor that day, his mood was still uncertain. She didn't know why she did such a thing, and not only did she not feel ashamed, but also a little excited. This made her very distressed. She kept staying at home and not leaving the door, wanting to forget the figure in her heart.

"Sister Four, please help!" Zhao Yuanzhu didn't wait for anyone to report, and suddenly rushed in and scared her.

"Sister Jiu, what's wrong? What happened?" This scared Emperor Maode and quickly stepped forward to ask.

"Fourth sister, Gao Chong was arrested by Kaifeng Mansion. Isn't your son-in-law Cai Mao the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion? Go and save him quickly!"

Zhao Fujin thought he could do Gujing Wubo, but when he heard Gao Chong's name, he still trembled all over, and his heart seemed to be pulled. "Sister Jiu, don't worry, tell me what's going on?"

Zhao Yuanzhu didn't care about taking a breath and hurriedly told the story. Zhao Fujin sighed when he heard it: "Sister Jiu, this is the Tian family who wants to capture Gao Chong, and it is not something that Kaifeng Mansion can just say to let it go.

Let’s do this! You go back and wait first. I will go to see the prince-consort and ask him to tell the prefect that Kaifeng Mansion will not make things difficult for Gao Chong. Let’s go and ask the Tian family to release him.”

"Then thank you, Sister Four. I'll go home and wait for Sister Four." Emperor Yifu finally sighed, then took the carriage and returned to the palace.

Emperor Maode quickly went to see his husband Cai Yan. This was also Zhao Fujin had misunderstood. Although Cai Yan was different from Cai Jing, he could be said to be a gentleman. However, he also had his own problems, but he was too stingy.

Hearing that his wife pleaded for an irrelevant man, he suddenly knocked over his jealousy and accused his wife loudly. Zhao Fujin looked weak, but he was strong, and he immediately made up the matter of Cai You and the others plotting against him and slandering Gao Chong. The couple had a big fight and even fought.

Zhao Fujin had never been angry with this. She brought her own things with her and went back to the palace in anger.

When the palace was in chaos, Gao Gongtai had already entered the palace first. When he saw Zhao Ji, he knelt down on the ground and cried loudly, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji was also shocked and said, "Gao Qing, what's going on? Get up and talk."

"Please spare your life. Our Gao family is dedicated and loyal in the era. I don't know what happened and offended Kaifeng Prefecture. They actually asked my nephew, Gunpowder Administration, to arrest Gao Chong. Emperor, although Gao Chong is naughty, he is devoted to serving the country and is the legitimate son and grandson of our Gao family. I don't know why he was punished by Kaifeng Prefecture?"

Zhao Ji understood what was going on in his heart as soon as he heard this. He laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, the Zhending Tongzhi Dong Cai wrote a letter to report and said: Gao Chong colluded with the bandits of Xinde Mansion, and Yu Gaoqing had nothing to do with him."

"Your Majesty, we are all a family, why doesn't it matter? I would like to ask the emperor, what evidence does this Dong Cai participate in the collusion with the thief in Xinde Mansion?"

Zhao Ji was a little unhappy, and he snorted coldly, "This time, the Gao family really celebrated Gao Chong, and the thieves in Xinde Mansion also sent two gifts, one was the "Cao Eu Quotation Scroll" and the other was the "Steping Ge Map". Many people here have read it, and people and physical evidence are there, so what else can we make a quibble?"

Gao Gongtai said: "This minister also knows that the son Gao Shize and Cao Sheng from the Cao family were both on the spot. Emperor, these two treasures were gifts given by a rich man in Xinde Mansion? Why did they become thieves? Dong Cai and our Gao family have always had a private wish, and he was framed."

Zhao Ji had a calm face and didn't say anything. Gao Gongtai continued, "Emperor, this Dong is a surrendered general from the Liao Kingdom. How could he know the thief in Xinde Mansion? I suspect that he is the real collusion with the thief. Please observe clearly."

"Gao Qing, I didn't deal with Gao Chong immediately. I just entrusted Kaifeng Prefecture to verify it. I believe they will definitely give everyone the truth."

"With this guess, your Majesty is a bit arbitrary to detain a minister of the court like this? And I don't know whether these two treasures are true or false. Maybe someone deliberately designed to frame them. The emperor is a great master of the ancients. I have notified Zhending and asked them to bring the "Cao Eu Eu Quotation" and "The Emperor" to ask the emperor to know at a glance."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up. He had been looking forward to these two treasures for a long time. There was no reason for jealousy when dealing with Gao Chong this time. If they brought these two treasures and identified them as fake, would they take them back? Wouldn't there be two more heavyweight treasures in his Xuanhe Building?

Thinking of this, he was a little moved. Li Yan next to him quickly said, "Emperor, even so, Gao Chong is still a suspect after all. I think he should lock him in Kaifeng Mansion first, and it will not be too late to release the facts when His Majesty finds out the facts."

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Li Yan's words are reasonable. Please do this matter like this. First, temporarily detain Gao Chong, wait for Kaifeng Prefecture to investigate clearly, or Gao Qing provides evidence before letting him out!"

Gao Gongtai knew that Zhao Ji had made up his mind and had no choice but to thank him for his gratitude and retreat. As soon as he left, Emperor Maode and Emperor Yifu broke in.

"Dad! Why should I catch Gao Chong? I dare to guarantee that Gao Chong has never colluded with the thief."

Zhao Yuanzhu's duties made Zhao Ji very angry. He snorted coldly: "Nothing! What do you know? Get off for me quickly!"

Zhao Yuanzhu refused to give in and said, "I'm not making a fool of myself? Gao Chong did something wrong? He spent a while in the Gunpowder Office every day for the birthday celebration of the Empress, and worked hard every day. Why did Dad arrest him?"

Seeing Zhao Ji's face turned pale, Zhao Fujin hurriedly said, "Dad, don't be angry, Sister Jiu is also speaking nonsense. In fact, Gao Chong is really loyal to the official family. For the sake of the Queen's celebration, he carefully prepared and wanted to contribute auspiciousness. As the celebration time is coming, how can he be missing at this most urgent time?"

"Xiangrui? He still has such ability?" Zhao Ji was a little skeptical.

Zhao Yuanzhu was not stupid either. On the contrary, she was very smart. She felt relieved when she heard her father's meaning. She quickly said, "Isn't that true? We have already seen the experimental samples, which is really shocking. I can guarantee that my father will like it. Isn't it a pity that it suddenly interrupted when you say this critical moment?"

Li Yan could interrupt Gao Gongtai, but Zhao Ji and his daughter did not dare to interrupt casually, so they could only watch and worry.

"What should you do if you two are?"

Seeing that Zhao Ji's attitude was a little eased, Zhao Fujin hurriedly said, "Dad, according to his daughter's wishes, he will make meritorious. This time, he will be punished for the meritorious service. If he is not able to do so, he will be punished with two crimes."

Zhao Ji thought for a long time and said, "Okay! Li Yan, pass on my will and let the Kaifeng Prefecture release the people, but tell Gao Chong that although he was released, he could not leave Kaifeng."

"I obey the order!" Li Yan agreed and turned around and went out. Zhao Fujin and Zhao Yuanzhu were relieved and said to their father for a while, leaving the hall.
