Chapter 140: Regretful and Wanting-to-Die Gao Yanei

"Who dares to do such an evil thing that is intolerable to heaven against my son?!"

In the Grand Marshal's mansion, Gao Qiu, who suddenly learned that his cheap good son Gao Kan had been castrated, was furious.

Not to mention that although he himself was not unable to have sex, he had taken countless beautiful concubines,

even if he worked hard day and night, he still had no harvest for many years.

In the end, he could only pin his hopes on Gao Kan, letting him shoulder the heavy responsibility of spreading branches and leaves for his Gao Qiu branch;

nor to mention that this Gao Kan voluntarily lowered his generation,

and served him, Gao Qiu, with the etiquette of a son in the identity of a cousin in reality;

just talking about the entire Bianliang City, who didn't know that Gao Kan was his Gao Qiu's person?

Those villains castrated Gao Kan, were they hitting Gao Kan's butt?

This was clearly hitting him, Gao Qiu, in the face!

However, Gao Qiu was also in a high position,

a Grand Marshal who had been rolling and crawling in the treacherous and unpredictable muddy water of the court for many years,

knowing the truth that joy and anger should not be shown on the face, the anger on his face quickly faded.

"Did you provoke any enemies again?"

Gao Qiu picked up the Ru kiln blue and white porcelain cup by his hand and drank a mouthful of tea, asking in a deep voice.

He thought carefully about the enemies Gao Kan had provoked before, and it seemed no one had such courage.

"Father, I also have a sense of proportion, how could I dare to provoke those truly unbridled strong men?"

Facing Gao Qiu's questioning, Gao Yanei replied with some grievance.

"Hmm."

Gao Qiu couldn't help but nod when he heard this: this Gao Kan, although relying on him for support,

ran rampant in Bianliang, and even kicked the dogs on the side of the road,

but he ultimately had some sense of proportion,

and would never provoke people he couldn't afford to offend, such as the imperial family and the families of the several prime ministers.

The best example was that after he taught Gao Kan a lesson, that Li Shishi was someone who couldn't be provoked,

Gao Kan never stepped into Fanlou again.

"Then who did this?"

Gao Qiu gripped the teacup, thinking left and right, but couldn't find a suspect.

If it were an old enemy, not to mention that he had tried his best to settle it, why wait until today?

"Father."

Gao Yanei analyzed with gnashing teeth full of hatred:

"That thief could cut off my treasure so cleanly and neatly, obviously he has profound martial arts.

Among the people I have offended, only Lin Chong, who is an instructor of 800,000 imperial guards, has such skills.

Even if this person is not Lin Chong, he must have a huge connection with him!

I hope Father will make the decision for me, catch that Lin Chong, and cut him into a thousand pieces to vent the hatred in my heart!"

As for whether it was Lin Chong, he didn't want to continue investigating,

he just wanted to vent the anger in his heart well.

"Lin Chong? It couldn't be him!"

Gao Yanei subconsciously denied it when he heard the name Lin Chong.

This Lin Chong was one of his subordinates in the imperial guard, although not very familiar,

he also knew that Lin Chong was always honest and dutiful.

Although because his martial arts were outstanding and the spear and stick he used were as majestic as a leopard, he was fearfully called "Leopard Head" by others,

but in reality, he didn't have half the ferocity of a beast like a leopard.

Such people had long been tamed by the rules of the Song Dynasty,

just like the lambs tamed by the shepherd, the most docile.

Even if someone scolded him, insulted him, or looked down on him, he would only endure it.

Moreover, if that Lin Chong wanted to retaliate, it would be possible for him to do so in a fit of rage yesterday,

how could he still take action today?

Did he not fear his, Gao Qiu's, retaliation?

Everything his Lin family possessed now was in Bianliang City, where he, Grand Marshal Gao, covered the sky with one hand!

"Grand Marshal, it is simple to verify this matter.

Lin Chong's family is in the city; call him to confront him, wouldn't everything be clear?"

Lu Qian, the imperial guard commander standing by, suggested.

Well, this Lu Qian was the one who was Lin Chong's good friend for many years;

later, because he coveted wealth and power, he stood on Gao Qiu's side, designed to frame Lin Chong many times,

and was eventually killed by Lin Chong's knife when he and Fu'an and others burned the forage field at the Mountain God Temple.

However, this time it was because of Zhang Jie's intervention that he didn't have the opportunity to frame Lin Chong,

such as cooperating with Gao Yanei, luring Lin Chong out in the name of inviting him to drink,

and attempting to lure Lin Chong's wife, Zhang Niangzi, to his house for Gao Yanei to occupy.

However, even without the opportunity to frame Lin Chong, Lu Qian's nature was still hard to change,

in front of Gao Qiu, who was in a high position and had great power,

he abandoned his friendship with Lin Chong for many years in an instant and chose to stand on Gao Qiu's side.

"Hmm..."

Gao Qiu stroked his beard and said:

"Lu Qian, what you said makes sense, let you take a trip to Lin Chong's house."

"Willing to serve the Grand Marshal!"

Lu Qian accepted the order happily.

"And be quick, I, Yanei, cannot wait for so much time!"

Gao Yanei urged impatiently.

"Definitely won't let Yanei wait long."

Lu Qian turned and flew toward the outside of the Grand Marshal's mansion.

And at this time, the imperial physician sent by Gao Qiu to find in the Imperial Medical Academy also arrived.

"Imperial Physician Li, is there any possibility of curing my son's illness?"

Gao Qiu asked with some hope.

This Imperial Physician Li had a thin face, floating sleeves, and a fairy-like appearance, about fifty years old,

and his body also emitted a clear fragrance mixed with various herbs,

obviously an apricot forest expert who had been immersed in the apricot forest path for many years.

Imperial Physician Li, who finished looking at Gao Yanei's wound, smiled bitterly when he heard this:

"Grand Marshal, you think too highly of me.

Although I have some attainments in external injuries from weapons, but like Yanei's,

even if Hua Tuo were alive or Bian Que were reborn, they would only be able to sigh helplessly!"

Gao Yanei's face turned gray again,

if it weren't for the faint ups and downs of his chest, people would almost suspect that he had already died.

"Then how can I make my son recover his health?"

Seeing that there was no hope for Gao Yanei to recover as before,

Gao Qiu began to ask how to keep Gao Yanei's little life.

After all, such a large external injury is not a joke.

Don't look at Gao Yanei now having the strength to argue with him,

if the wound worsens, he will die in ten days or half a month!

After all, it was a father-son relationship, and he was not willing to let Gao Yanei end up in such a situation.

"Hmm..."

Imperial Physician Li pondered for a while and gave the name of a government office:

"Grand Marshal, our Imperial Medical Academy is not very good at this aspect.

But there is a government office that is very skilled in this business, and that is the Jingshi Room."

"Jingshi Room?"

Hearing this name, even Gao Yanei, who was gasping for breath, couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

This Jingshi Room was the government office in the imperial palace specifically for castrating eunuchs!

Didn't Imperial Physician Li's words mean that he, Gao Yanei, should go and be with those stinking eunuchs?

"Exactly."

Imperial Physician Li continued to explain: "This Jingshi Room has a special silkworm room,

and the eunuchs in it are familiar with the maintenance process after the operation, which can minimize the possibility of catching a cold after the operation.

If Yanei can enter it, under the care of the Grand Marshal, those eunuchs will definitely use their full strength.

In this way, Yanei's life can be preserved.

After all, the Grand Historian of that year was placed in the silkworm room to recuperate after receiving the palace punishment."

"Hmm..."

Gao Qiu pondered slightly and found that the path pointed out by Imperial Physician Li was indeed the best one.

He said slowly: "I still need to consider this matter.

Come, give Imperial Physician Li two hundred strings of Jiaozi as a consultation fee."

The old steward who managed the finances of the Grand Marshal's mansion immediately took out two Jiaozi worth one hundred strings each from his sleeve and handed them to Imperial Physician Li.

"How can this be, how can this be!"

Imperial Physician Li refused in his mouth, but his hands were very honest in taking the Jiaozi handed over by the old steward.

After sending Imperial Physician Li away, Gao Qiu asked:

"My son, what do you think?"

Gao Yanei's face was as dead as ash: "I am already a useless person, I am incomplete!

Even if I enter the Jingshi Room and preserve my life, I am just a useless person.

Living such a boring life, what is the point!"

In his words, the meaning of being disheartened and wanting to die was undoubtedly revealed.

A flash of light flashed in Gao Qiu's eyes:

"I have my own arrangements for your future."

Before Gao Yanei could ask, Lu Qian, who went to summon Lin Chong, came back panting.

"Has that Lin Chong come?"

Gao Qiu's face became solemn, no longer the kindness he had in front of Gao Yanei, and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting, reporting to the Grand Marshal, that, that Lin Chong's family has disappeared!

Your subordinate went in to take a look, the pots and pans were all there, but not a single shadow of a person."

Lu Qian, who was out of breath, said intermittently the result of his trip to Lin Chong's house.

"It, it really was that Lin Chong!"

The expression on Gao Yanei's face changed from crying to laughing, full of regret.

He never thought that yesterday's impulse would bring such a heavy price to himself today.

If he had known this, he would have killed Lin Chong before occupying Zhang Niangzi!

"When did that Lin Chong become so bloody?"

Gao Qiu was quite puzzled.

The person who did this didn't need to guess, it must be Lin Chong,

even if he wasn't the mastermind, he was definitely the executor of Gao Kan's castration.

This disappearance must be fleeing in fear of crime!

"Father, Father, I want to cut that Lin Chong and his accomplices into a thousand pieces!"

Gao Yanei squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth full of hatred.

"Hiss!"

Lu Qian on the side heard Gao Yanei's shrill voice that sounded like it was,

an evil ghost crawling out from under the nine netherworlds, and couldn't help but shiver.

This hatred was so deep that I'm afraid even the bamboo of Nanshan couldn't write it all,

and even the water of the four seas couldn't wash it clean!

Gao Qiu had seen all kinds of scenes in the court for so many years;

the hatred of a mere Gao Kan couldn't move him,

and at the same time, he also heard the deep regret buried in Gao Kan, and he snorted coldly:

"Hmph! Know you regret it now? But it's already too late!"

He then said with hatred for iron not becoming steel:

"I told you long ago not to provoke the people in the imperial guard, but you just wouldn't listen!"

Gao Qiu also had complaints in his heart about Gao Kan's ignorance of good and evil:

Regardless of whether he could fully control the 800,000 imperial guards,

these 800,000 imperial guards were nominally his subordinates.

As a boss, not only could he not bring benefits to his subordinates,

but his relatives also wantonly bullied the family members of his subordinates,

wouldn't this make his subordinates alienated from him?

Even a rabbit knows not to eat the grass by its nest!

Even though yesterday's incident was suppressed by him for the first time,

when he went to gather the imperial guard generals for a meeting early this morning,

the eyes of each general looking at him were also very subtle.

Although no one opposed it on the surface, it went without saying that they would disobey orders in the future.

And although he was favored by the Emperor, it didn't mean he had no political enemies in the court.

Lin Chong chose to let things go yesterday; if he dared to go to the Kaifeng Prefecture to report the case,

those guys definitely wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to bite him, Gao Qiu, hard!

Now the Kaifeng Prefecture Magistrate Teng Ziming was very dissatisfied with him,

this kind of person who relied entirely on the Emperor's appreciation to advance.

However, looking at Gao Yanei's pale face, Gao Qiu still softened his heart,

no matter what, this was the good son who had called him father for more than ten years, so he promised:

"My son, I will definitely issue a wanted warrant widely,

and will definitely bring that Lin Chong to justice, punish him according to the law, and avenge you!"

"Thank you, Father."

Gao Yanei's face looked a little better after getting the promise. ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
