Chapter 974

"It won't be long before they come back."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Guo's eyes flashed with shock.

Twenty days ago, three carriages from the Duke of Ding's mansion left the mansion at the same time, and outside the Treasure Pavilion, three more carriages left in different directions.

Of course, this was news that came out later.

Even the Embroidered Uniform Guard didn't receive the news at the first moment. By the time he knew, Gao Yang and Shangguan Wan'er had already been missing for several days.

But Wu Zhao remained silent about this, and he didn't dare to ask, let alone investigate with great fanfare. After all, the Western Depot was the Emperor's knife, and this was clearly Wu Zhao's tacit approval. If he went against Wu Zhao, he would be a bit ignorant.

But for some reason, Eunuch Guo felt very uneasy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what does this 'starting' mean?"

Eunuch Guo bent over and asked carefully.

Wu Zhao immediately swept her eyes over Eunuch Guo, full of majesty and indifference.

This made Eunuch Guo immediately bend over and beg for mercy, "Your Majesty, your servant spoke too much, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Wu Zhao withdrew her gaze and said lightly, "It's fine, you have experienced three dynasties and are my confidant; I am naturally at ease with you."

"It doesn't matter if I tell you now: Gao Yang and Wan'er are not out of the city for fun, nor are they at home nursing an illness, but are acting on my imperial order to visit the world incognito and question the politics of Da Qian!"

"Gao Yang wants to strictly investigate the illegal activities of a region, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and return a bright and clear world to my Da Qian!"

Wu Zhao's voice sounded, filled with emotion.

She was very optimistic about this questioning of Da Qian!

Eunuch Guo's expression changed, and he continued, "Your Majesty, I don't know where the Living Yama is questioning the politics?"

Wu Zhao felt it was a bit strange and secretly took note in her heart.

Her intuition told her that Eunuch Guo's reaction was not right.

But Wu Zhao remained calm and said lightly, "Suiyang Prefecture!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Eunuch Guo's expression changed suddenly, and his heart churned with huge waves, but his years of experience accompanying the monarch kept him calm.

He knew that he had overstepped today!

Wu Zhao swept a glance at Eunuch Guo, but didn't think much of it.

She said lightly, "Questioning the officials of the entire Suiyang Prefecture, with commoners allowed to watch, strictly investigating all illegal activities!"

"This form is too wonderful, but the only drawback is that Gao Yang is a poisonous strategist who takes planning for himself as his duty; why would he offend people for no reason?"

"I'm afraid this questioning will be mostly thunder and little rain. If I want to count on him, Gao Yang, to strictly investigate all illegal activities, it would be better to count on Gao Changwen climbing a tree."

Wu Zhao's tone carried a sense of loneliness.

As soon as these words were spoken, Eunuch Guo's expression improved.

As everyone knows, the Living Yama has always planned for himself; why would he stand up for the commoners, plead for the people, and punish corrupt officials?

If that were truly the case, Eunuch Guo would eat three jin of manure right then and there, gulping it down in one go without stopping!

But at this moment.

A voice came.

"Report!"

"Urgent report from Suiyang Prefecture!"

This voice sounded, and Wu Zhao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

She instantly became interested.

"Suiyang Prefecture?"

"Present it quickly!"

Soon, a memorial written personally by Meng Ziyi reached Wu Zhao's hands.

At this point in time, Wu Zhao guessed that it must be Gao Yang who had taken action, ordering the Suiyang Prefect to submit a memorial!

"Although I know your character, if the commotion is too small, I will be a bit disappointed in you!"

Wu Zhao muttered to herself first, then opened the memorial.

The next second.

Wu Zhao's expression changed suddenly, and a look of shock appeared on her noble face.

She closed the memorial heavily and looked in the direction of Suiyang Prefecture, her phoenix eyes filled with flickering horror.

Although she wanted Gao Yang to make a bigger commotion, she didn't expect it to be this big?

How many people is Gao Yang going to kill this time?

Wu Zhao's reaction made Eunuch Guo feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, could it be that the commotion made by the Living Yama is very small?"

Wu Zhao came back to her senses and took a deep breath, "No, on the contrary, the commotion he made is very big, so big that it even exceeds my imagination!"

"He wants to question the politics of 13 counties, 56 townships, and 682 villages in Suiyang Prefecture, and before it even started, he beheaded the Qingshui County Magistrate, Private Secretary, and Constable, and also mobilized multiple armies from various places to take over the entire Suiyang City!"

In an instant, Eunuch Guo's expression became extremely horrified. ===== CHAPTER 976 =====
