Chapter 661

Lü Luo gritted her teeth and then said.

This was clearly carrying a fearless spirit of sacrificing herself.

Hearing this, Gao Yang couldn't help but scan Lü Luo's curvaceous figure.

He coughed twice. "That's not bad, but let's agree first: the intensity of this thanks must be high, otherwise this official won't be a good person anymore."

"Little Lü Luo, whether you can pull this official out of the quagmire of being a menace depends entirely on you."

"This official hopes you will withstand the pressure and forge ahead!"

Lü Luo's cheeks were rosy, and she lowered her head.

But at this moment, Gao Yang also tore open the thank-you letter the Lin family had given him.

But when he opened the envelope and saw the content inside, his expression couldn't help but change suddenly, turning serious.

Even his gaze suddenly looked toward the direction of the Imperial Palace.

"Immediately send someone to summon the Lin family mother and daughter and bring them to see this official."

Gao Yang took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

Hearing this, Lü Luo was stunned.

But seeing the serious expression on Gao Yang's face, she knew the matter was not ordinary.

So she didn't dare to delay and turned around to hurry down.

After Lü Luo left, Gao Yang looked at the letter again.

The content of this letter was not much, totaling only a dozen large characters, but the content was extremely explosive.

Even Gao Yang felt a shock.

"Lord Gao, the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister may have a great secret, be careful!"

Not long after.

Lü Luo brought the Lin family up. She had changed into clean clothes, but her face was still pale.

Gao Yang took a deep breath and asked, "What does this letter mean?"

The Lin family looked straight into Gao Yang's eyes, looked left and right, and her gaze finally settled on Lü Luo.

"Young Master, this servant will go outside and keep watch." Lü Luo said to Gao Yang tactfully.

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Without this Young Master's order, do not let anyone in."

Lü Luo's heart trembled, realizing the seriousness of the matter, and she walked out.

"Lin family, do you know what kind of stormy waves this line of words you wrote will stir up once it gets out?"

Gao Yang's expression was serious, his eyes fixed on the Lin family.

"My lord, this commoner woman is not a fool; naturally, I know the consequences this line of words might trigger."

"But Lord Gao helped this commoner woman obtain justice, and even offended the entire Court of Judicial Review for this matter, so this commoner woman had to speak."

"Is there any evidence?" Gao Yang asked again.

If this news was true, it would be worth much more than the justice he had obtained for the Lin family.

It was even... immeasurable in value.

The current Prime Minister and the current Empress Dowager colluding—this was absolutely impermissible.

The Lin family shook her head, her expression bitter. "There is no physical evidence."

"Six months ago, before Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne, the late Emperor's health was very frail, and my late husband and I were living a carefree life in Qingzhou."

"But one night, while my husband and I were fast asleep, a guard covered in blood climbed over the wall, fell to the ground, and made a sound."

"This movement woke us up, so we hurriedly went out to check. We originally intended to report it to the officials, but we never expected that this person would shout, 'Wenzheng!'"

"This person was my husband's childhood friend, Chen Qiang!"

The Lin family paused while speaking, her eyes carrying a trace of reminiscence, as if recalling the scene that night.

Gao Yang's expression was serious; he did not speak, but quietly waited for the rest.

He knew that this matter was definitely not simple.

The Lin family continued, "My husband recognized him and was instantly shocked, so he hurriedly wanted to find a physician to treat his wounds."

"But Chen Qiang stopped my husband, claiming he was being hunted, and in the end, only let this servant simply treat his wounds."

"And from his mouth, we accidentally learned a heaven-sized secret."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "The Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager are very close?"

A look of terror appeared on the Lin family's face. "My lord, the truth is likely more than that."

"According to Chen Qiang, because of his martial arts, he entered the palace and became a palace guard."

"That day, he was on duty. The Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager were visiting the late Emperor's bedchamber, but the late Emperor suddenly let out an angry roar, as if saying, 'You bitch!'"

"As soon as this sound came out, Chen Qiang subconsciously turned his head to look, but the Prime Minister walked out and ordered him to go down, while simultaneously changing the guards."

"This one glance was a fatal disaster. Chen Qiang realized the danger and immediately fled, but was hunted all the way!"

"He told my husband and me—" The Lin family stared straight at Gao Yang, throwing out a shocking piece of news, "The late Emperor did not die naturally, but was murdered by them!"

In an instant, even Gao Yang raised an eyebrow.

He didn't expect the matter to be so stimulating, and it even involved the Empress Dowager, a Prime Minister, and the death of the late Emperor.

"This matter is of great importance and brooks no joking. Are you sure?"

The Lin family nodded, her face full of certainty. "This matter is of great importance; how would this commoner woman dare to speak nonsense."

"Where is Chen Qiang?"

"Is he alive?"

Gao Yang asked.

The Lin family said in a bitter tone, "That night, this servant simply treated his wounds, he ate some food, and then he left."

"He said that if he didn't leave, he was afraid it would endanger the two of us, and told us to keep this matter buried in our stomachs for a lifetime."

"After that, there was no news of Chen Qiang. I'm afraid... he has already met with disaster."

Speaking of this, the Lin family's voice was low, her emotions dim.

A flash of emotion crossed Gao Yang's brow, and he said, "This official knows of this matter. You go down first, treat this matter as if you don't know, and live your life in peace."

"As for everything else, this official will handle it."

A pale smile appeared on the Lin family's face. "I hope this news can help Lord Gao."

Gao Yang said earnestly, "This news is of great use to this official."

"Then this commoner woman can rest easy."

She had originally wanted to keep this secret buried in her stomach for a lifetime.

But Gao Yang had helped her obtain justice, and she knew that Gao Yang and the Empress were in the same camp. The Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister daring to murder the late Emperor was undoubtedly Gao Yang's enemy!

Although Gao Yang had great abilities, open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. After thinking it over, she decided to warn Gao Yang!

Gao Yang nodded.

Sure enough, there are many dirty things in the court, and the harem is even more complex.

It is said that this Empress Dowager Xiao is peerlessly beautiful; I didn't expect her to have such a close relationship with that old thing Xu Xuanji, and even dare to murder the late Emperor.

"Lü Luo, take her down, settle her well, and send two more troops from the prefecture to ensure her safety."
