Chapter 1054

He even suspected the filth in the Infant Care Hall and ordered her to go find Chen Tiankuang.

As a result, when she flew nervously all the way and arrived at Suiyang City with Chen Tiankuang, she was stunned.

Prefect's Mansion, corpses everywhere, the smell of blood rushing to the sky, and the soil on the ground was stained red.

Meng Ziyi was dead.

Zhang Tie was dead.

Liu Dashan was dead.

Scholar Zhou, who was famous throughout Da Qian, had countless students, and lived in seclusion in Suiyang County, was dead.

Buddhist Master Master Jingnian was dead.

Those she knew, those she didn't know, a large area died.

But why all this happened, Gao Yang refused to talk about it.

Only one memorial was sent to Changancheng to inform Wu Zhao.

But this feeling of being kept in the dark made Shangguan Wan'er very unhappy.

Gao Yang actually had the nerve to ask her why she was so worried, and even told her to smile!

How could she smile?

Shangguan Wan'er was getting angrier the more she thought about it, and the more she said, the more excited she became.

She stared at Gao Yang with her beautiful eyes, mist filling her eyes, "Gao Yang, I, Shangguan Wan'er, treated you with sincerity, yet you hide even this kind of thing from me. In your heart, what am I?"

Gao Yang felt a headache, and hurriedly said with a straight face, "In my heart, Wan'er is the only one, the star in the sky, the moon in the water, my wife!"

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

These words directly interrupted Shangguan Wan'er's forced spell.

She turned her head away, no longer making trouble, but returning to the topic, "It is Lord Gao's freedom to say or not, but I still have to remind Lord Gao that this news spreading back to Changancheng will cause no small commotion."

"With such slaughter, the officials will not let go of this great opportunity, and even for some people, no matter how much filth there is in the Infant Care Hall, they won't care."

"They will only stop you from becoming Prime Minister, impeach you for abusing imperial power, and being cruel and unrighteous."

Shangguan Wan'er said seriously, her cold voice ringing out.

The matter had already happened, so they could only deal with it.

In her opinion, this matter was extremely tricky for Gao Yang; if not handled well, Gao Yang's Prime Minister position would be very dangerous.

Gao Yang heard this, his gaze deep, and he said indifferently, "I know."

"You knew and you still killed like this?"

Shangguan Wan'er's voice suddenly rose.

"Hmm."

Gao Yang responded.

This sentence made Shangguan Wan'er silent, and after a while, she asked again.

"Infant Care Hall, does it have a truth that makes even you feel very terrified?"

"Therefore, you killed in a rage?"

Gao Yang nodded and responded again, "Hmm."

Then, there was silence in the carriage.

Lv Luo knew the truth and also knew the price Gao Yang paid, but since Gao Yang didn't say it, she naturally couldn't say it either.

Even if this person was Shangguan Wan'er.

Gao Yang's gaze was deep.

That night, amidst the smoke, he thought of many, many things, and this naturally included the price after taking action.

When the news spread back to Changancheng, Eunuch Guo would not admit it, and those powerful dignitaries who viewed the lives of common people as grass would not admit it even more.

Even if Liu Dashan were alive, even if he stood in front of them and pointed them out, it would be useless.

Because, admitting it meant a dead end.

This kind of matter is hard to have solid evidence, and these dignitaries would not wait for him to investigate; they would definitely strike back first.

Strike first to gain the advantage, strike later to suffer disaster; it's a very simple truth.

At this time.

A rider came running.

"Report!"

"Letter from Changancheng!"

Shangguan Wan'er's expression changed, and she said in shock: "A letter from Your Majesty?"

She looked at the messenger soldier and opened the envelope with a serious face.

When she saw the content inside, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes gradually widened, and her face became extremely ugly.

Soon.

She looked at Gao Yang, her voice trembling slightly, "Gao Yang, do you know what kind of storm has been stirred up in Changancheng because of you?"

She stared at Gao Yang with her beautiful eyes, her eyes shaking.

"What kind of commotion?" Gao Yang asked curiously.

Shangguan Wan'er said word for word, "All parties are ready to move, secretly allying!"

"Scholar Zhou was famous, gave free lectures, and had countless students. You killed him, inciting the public anger of the scholars of the world!"

"The scholars of the Han Lin Academy took the lead, and the scholars of Changancheng responded one after another, gathering outside the palace to threaten Your Majesty to punish you severely!"

"The Buddhists in Changancheng also spontaneously united to seek justice for Master Jingnian."

Gao Yang's gaze was indifferent, a flash of ferocity flickering in his eyes.

"This commotion is truly not small."

Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her mouth twitching, "Is this commotion just not small?"

"The entire Changancheng is about to be turned upside down. This is just the commotion on the surface. In the dark, Lord Lu, Grand Master Yan, and Old General Wang will not miss this opportunity."

"When the news arrived, it was during the morning court, and Your Majesty left with an excuse, thus avoiding the officials' trouble. Calculating the time, tomorrow morning court will only explode because of this!"

Shangguan Wan'er felt heavier the more she said.

She vaguely guessed that Scholar Zhou was not as rumored by the outside world.

But the problem is.

The person is already dead, where is the evidence?

And with the fuel added by those with intentions, let alone no evidence, even if the person wasn't dead and confessed in public, the outside world would say it was torture!

The prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. The scholars of the world don't know the truth and will only feel that Gao Yang is using power to suppress people and killing people indiscriminately.

Gao Yang, even if he had good intentions, how can he prove his innocence?

"Chen Sheng, how much longer is it from here to Changancheng?"

Gao Yang suddenly asked.

"Reporting to Young Master, it's about a hundred miles!" Chen Sheng replied.

Gao Yang had no expression, he looked at the sky outside.

It was dusk, and the sunset glow covered the earth.

Gao Yang said, "Speed up, travel day and night, I want to return to Changancheng tomorrow morning."

"With such a lively morning court, how can I be absent?" ===== CHAPTER 1056 =====
