As soon as they met, Sima Wentian asked, "Shangguan, why did you summon us here in such a hurry?"
Shangguan Qing's face was bitter as he cupped his hands together and said, "Something big has happened."
Sima Wentian looked at him and asked, "What has scared you so much? Does His Majesty want to cut off your head? "
"It should be about the same." Shangguan Qing said in a low voice, "To be honest, Jiang Yi is from the Ensemble of Heroes and he is in the hands of Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness …"
Sima Wentian and Gao Guan were stunned. Their eyes widened and they gasped as they realized the seriousness of the matter and didn't know what to say.
"His Majesty might really kill me in his rage. I've invited the two of you here in the hope that you'll help me put in a good word for me later. Please!" Shangguan Qing was bowing repeatedly.
Gao Guan said in a low voice, "You mean His Majesty doesn't know about this?"
Shangguan Qing shook his head, "I know it can't be hidden but I don't dare to speak to His Majesty before the matter is resolved. Fortunately, things have taken a turn for the better now. Please help me out."
Sima Wentian laughed coldly and said, "I say, Shangguan, what should I say about you? You dare to make a mistake in such a matter?"
Shangguan Qing was speechless and asked for help again.
Gao Guan glanced at him and said, "You should ask Pojun for help. Only he dares to oppose His Majesty. Our heads are not that hard."
"Hey!" Shangguan Qing rolled his eyes, "Old Gao, do you think I'm not dead yet? Don't you know Pojun's temper? How can I let Pojun know about this? If he knows about this, he won't help me. He might even hit me when I'm down. I can't afford to offend him. Besides, how can I let too many people know about this? You two have different identities. "
Gao Guan said, "You mean that we often do shameful things too? That's why you came to us?"
Sima Wentian touched his nose subconsciously. He was right. Gao Guan could be more stubborn when he was in charge of the Right Monitoring Department but he did many shameful things when he was in charge of the Left Monitoring Department. As long as he could achieve his goal, he would use any despicable means. Compared to Shangguan Qing, it was only slightly more.
"Hi! Why are you still fighting with me over this at a time like this? "Shang Guanqing tugged at the sleeves of the two men." Let's go. You can't just watch him die, can you? "
The two of them actually didn't want to get involved in this matter. He could imagine His Majesty's reaction after finding out about it. If he bumped into His Majesty at this time, it would not end well for him. However, they had no choice. After all, Shangguan Qing was someone close to His Majesty. He would often hint and remind them. The two of them had owed Shangguan Qing a lot. Even if they did not return the favor, at least they would need Shangguan Qing to speak up for them in front of His Majesty in the future.
The two of them had no choice but to follow behind. After entering the palace, they saw that they were heading to the back palace. Sima Wentian frowned and asked, "Where is His Majesty?"
"In the East Palace," Shangguan Qing replied.
At the Heavenly Concubine's place again? Sima Wentian and Gao Guan glanced at each other subconsciously. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Majesty's love for the Heavenly Consort was not ordinary.
Along the way, the three of them discussed how to solve this problem.
When they arrived at the entrance of the East Palace, it was inconvenient for Sima Wentian and Gao Guan to enter. Inside was the Heavenly Consort's residence. It was not appropriate for two grown men to barge in. Shangguan Qing quickly entered and called out at the door of a hall, "Your Majesty, Sima Zuo Shi and Gao You Shi request an audience."
Not long after, Qing Zhu, who was dressed in a light robe and leisurely, walked out with his hair draped over his shoulders. Looking at his smiling face, he seemed to be in a good mood. He nodded and said, "Let them in." Then, he walked down the stairs and walked towards the pavilion in the garden.
Very quickly, Sima Wentian and Gao Guan came together. They entered the pavilion and bowed. Both of them found some important things to report. They had no choice. They had to cooperate with Shangguan Qing's act. Even if they had nothing to do, they had to think of a way to deal with it.
Shangguan Qing stood beside Qing Zhu as if nothing had happened. Even if he had something on his mind, he did not show it on the surface. This caused Sima Wentian and Gao Guan to curse him in their hearts.
After reporting the important matter. After Qing Zhu gave some advice, he asked as usual, "Has everything been peaceful recently?"
Sima Wentian replied, "There's nothing else for the time being. However, I just received a piece of news. I heard that the notorious pervert Jiang Yiyi, who had been repeatedly unable to be caught, has been caught in the Ghost City. He has already fallen into the hands of the Ghost City's Mayor, Niu Youde."
Qing Zhu seemed to be moved. His eyes instantly widened.
Gao Guan said indifferently, "This official has just received news about this. It seems that he fell into the hands of the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness first, then the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness passed to the hands of Niu Youde."
"Fell into the hands of the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness?" Qing Zhu suddenly could not sit still. Bang! He slammed his palm on the jade table. To be exact, the table that was condensed from the power of hope instantly collapsed and fell to the ground.
This movement caused the guards outside to appear. The people inside the East Palace also came out in surprise to see what was going on. Even Zhan Ruyi, who was wearing a light robe and thin gauze, also half revealed himself at the door and looked outside.
Qing Zhu suddenly stood up and looked around angrily. He waved his hand and said, "This is none of your business. All of you, scram!"
The surrounding people immediately disappeared without a trace. Sima Wentian and Gao Guan had a surprised look on their faces. Shangguan Qing, on the other hand, was hunched over there, trembling with fear.
At this moment, Qing Zhu slowly turned around and looked at Shangguan Qing. He said fiercely, "This is what you did? Aren't you going to give me an explanation? "
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This old servant really did not know. This old servant will immediately contact them to confirm." Shangguan Qing, who looked terrified, quickly took out his star bell.
Sima Wentian tried to ask, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry?"
Qing Zhu's chest heaved up and down rapidly. His gaze swept back and forth between Gao Guan and Sima Wentian's faces. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I originally did not know either. I only found out from this dog thing that Jiang Yiyi is a member of the Great Ensemble. Dog Killer!" With that, he kicked Shangguan Qing's butt.
Shangguan Qing almost fell flat on his face. He quickly got up, but the star bell in his hand did not stop shaking.
Sima Wentian and Gao Guan secretly sighed. There were benefits to being close to His Majesty, but there were also benefits to being further away from His Majesty. At least, His Majesty would not beat or scold them like this. They would not be able to enjoy the special treatment that Shangguan Qing and Po Jun received. But then again, it meant that Shangguan Qing and Po Jun were the true confidants of His Majesty.
Of course, the two of them still had to put on an act. Both of them looked shocked. "Ah!" They exclaimed and looked at each other.
Seeming to realize the seriousness of the matter, Sima Wentian said in a deep voice, "It's easy to deal with if it falls into Niu Youde's hands. But if it falls into the hands of the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice, it will be troublesome. I don't know if the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice managed to pry anything out of Jiang Yiyi's mouth."
Hearing this, Qing Zhu kicked Shangguan Qing out of the pavilion again.
Not long after, Shangguan Qing ran back in fear and trepidation. He reported the situation that he seemed to have just learned. Finally, he smoothed things over, "Your Majesty, the Great Ensemble originally had a countermeasure. They gathered masters to go to the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice to grab people, but they didn't expect that the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice suddenly sent people to the Ghost City's Zongzhen Mansion. The Great Ensemble also wanted to solve the matter and give an explanation before telling this old servant. This old servant really didn't know about it in advance. "
Sima Wentian and Gao Guan were secretly speechless. In order to protect himself, this guy directly pushed the Great Ensemble out as a shield. If it was not done well, the Huangfu family would probably be destroyed in the future.
Qing Zhu scolded, "Explanation my ass! The Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice doesn't belong to the structure of the Heavenly Court. It's fine if they attack, but do they want to lead people to attack the Ghost City's Zongzhen Mansion now? How can the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice just stand by and watch? As long as one of the Great Ensemble's people is captured, the Great Ensemble will violate the law of heaven. If someone starts a bloodbath to uphold the law of heaven, even we can't say anything! "
Shangguan Qing decisively showed his wisdom, "Your Majesty is wise. This old servant has just angrily rebuked them and ordered them to stop."
Qing Zhu: "Is Jiang Yiyi alive or dead?"
Shangguan Qing: "In the hands of Niu Youde, it was confirmed that he is still alive."
Qing Zhu: "The problem now is whether Jiang Yiyi has said anything or not."
In order to reduce Qing Zhu's anger, Shangguan Qing said, "If the Great Ensemble can let him do this, they naturally have a way to restrain him. The Great Ensemble is very sure that Jiang Yiyi would rather die than let go. If he is not dead, he should not have said anything. Of course, this matter still needs to be confirmed with Jiang Yiyi. Fortunately, Jiang Yiyi is still alive. "
What does it mean that the Great Ensemble is very sure? Sima Wentian and Gao Guan secretly exchanged glances. This guy Shangguan really dares to talk big in order to appease His Majesty's anger and protect himself. He's simply digging a pit for the Huangfu family. Once it is confirmed that Jiang Yiyi has said something, the Huangfu family will have another crime of concealing the report. If there is a problem, it will be the Huangfu family's responsibility for the error in the report. If Shangguan Qing is also deceived by the Huangfu family, will the Huangfu family still have a way out? Not to mention that His Majesty won't spare them, I'm afraid that this guy Shangguan will also kill them to silence them. It should be known that Shangguan still controls the Shadow Guards!
But then again, the Huangfu family is a dog under Shangguan Qing's feet. When faced with a crisis, will the master protect himself or abandon the master to protect the dog? It's not difficult to choose between the two. If the dog dies, just raise another one.
"However, this old servant is worried that Niu Youde will be suspicious of Jiang Yiyi's appearance near the phantom market's main town manor. If Niu Youde guessed Jiang Yiyi's intentions, I'm afraid Niu Youde won't let Jiang Yiyi go just because he caused such a huge commotion in Youding Domain for that woman."
Shangguan Qing's words successfully diverted Lord Qing's attention, causing him to focus on solving the problem. Lord Qing suddenly turned around and asked, "Gao Guan, didn't you say that you have a way to contact Niu Youde?"
Gao Guan nodded and said, "Yes, I do."
Lord Qing said, "Contact Niu Youde immediately. Tell him that Jiang Yiyi is involved in many important cases. This matter has already been taken over by the Right Division of the Supervisory Department. Before handing him over to the Right Division of the Supervisory Department, order Niu Youde not to touch Jiang Yiyi. I believe that your reputation, Emissary Gao, will still be able to intimidate him!"
"Yes!" Gao Guan cupped his fists and accepted the order. He quickly took out the Star Bell and contacted Miao Yi.
