Chapter 2002 Secret Search

The screams of the soldiers echoed in his ears. However, this did not make Zhao Xuan relieved. The anger on his face did not diminish at all.

Gu Lin knows too many things!

Let’s not talk about the poisoning of the old emperor. As the chief staff member, Gu Lin also knew some of the previous things. If Zhao Xuan had not taken action against Gu Lin, he might still be able to stabilize Gu Lin, but now Gu Lin He actually escaped on his own initiative, which meant that he already knew that Zhao Xuan had murderous intentions towards him. In this case, would Gu Lin still help him keep Zhao Xuan's secret?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

This was the reason for Zhao Xuan's rage.

Gu Lin was just a scholar. Zhao Xuan was thought to have sent a private soldier to solve the problem as easily as he had dealt with Xiao Shunzi. But who would have thought that this damn private soldier could actually handle such a simple matter? It was a mess, how could Zhao Xuan not be angry?

Gu Lin's guess was correct. Zhao Xuan indeed wanted to send him out of the city first, then kill him, and then blame everything on him. As the chief aide to the eldest prince, Gu Lin still had some status. He also has the motivation and ability to do this, so it is most appropriate to push all this to him.

Of course, Zhao Xuan also knew that neither Guan Zhuo nor Hou Zhong were easy to fool, but he didn't care, as long as it could be delayed for a while, and as long as he successfully ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, then all this would no longer be a problem.

But Gu Lin ran away, and the most important part failed!

One can imagine Zhao Xuan's mood at this time.

"Somebody come!"

Zhao Xuan called a few soldiers and ordered: "Immediately go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, the residence of Guanzhuo, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the residence of Hou Zhong. Once you find Gu Lin appearing, immediately capture him for me. If he resists, Just kill him!"

"yes."

Several soldiers took the order and left.

Gu Lin ran away. What Zhao Xuan fears most now is that Gu Lin finds Guan Zhuo or Hou Zhong. Now that Gu Lin has discovered his thoughts, he will definitely guess that he will not give up the pursuit. In order to protect himself, Gu Lin is very worried. He might go to Guan Zhuo or Hou Zhong for help, but this was definitely not what Zhao Xuan wanted to see.

"Gu Lin! No matter where you hide, I will find you!" Zhao Xuan said to himself with a cold expression.

Because something went wrong in this matter, Zhao Xuan is not in the mood to investigate the imperial edict now. If this matter is not handled well, even if it is found that there is something wrong with the imperial edict in Zhao Lun's hands, he will not be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

The most important thing for Zhao Xuan right now is to find or kill Gu Lin.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xuan felt that it was not enough, so he sent more people and asked them to secretly search the city and be sure to find Gu Lin.

After doing all this, Zhao Xuan sat down again, took a sip of tea, and muttered to himself viciously: "Damn waste, he fails to succeed but fails to succeed!"

On the other side, Guanzhuo has already led people into the palace.

At this time, the palace should have been full of sadness. After all, the old emperor had just passed away. However, after entering the palace, although Guanzhuo saw that all the maids and eunuchs were still wearing white clothes, he did not feel much The smell of sadness.

Guanzhuo was not surprised by this, because he knew that the people inside and outside the court were most concerned about not the death of the old emperor, but the choice of the new emperor and who was the murderer of the old emperor. As for Not many people pay attention to the old emperor himself. Although the old emperor is powerful in the entire Yanfeng Kingdom and everyone is more or less afraid of him, he is dead now after all. A dead person will not attract too many people's attention. , even if this dead man is the emperor, it won't work.

Guanzhuo didn't have much emotion and led people straight to Tai Hospital. There, he saw the goal of his trip:

Doctor Liu!

Everyone in the Imperial Hospital was a little surprised when they saw Guan Zhuo and others coming, and so was Imperial Physician Liu. Perhaps it was because he had done bad things, and Imperial Physician Liu felt a little weak when he saw Guan Zhuo.

"Greetings to the Master, Lord Shangshu." Imperial Physician Liu and others saluted.

Guanzhuo looked at everyone and said calmly: "Without courtesy, I am here to investigate the poisoning of the late emperor. I hope you will cooperate."

Dr. Liu and the others all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Guan Zhuo's words, especially Dr. Liu. He, who was still a little guilty, calmed down at this moment.

Although he stole the seal and forged the imperial edict, he did not poison the old emperor. Therefore, when he saw that Guanzhuo was investigating the matter, he was not guilty at all and had no fear. As for the other imperial doctors, this was especially true.

Although the old emperor passed away, they did nothing wrong. Not only were they right, they even had merit. After all, given the old emperor's physical condition, he should have died long ago. They tried their best to buy the old emperor time. , Although the old emperor died now, he did not die of illness, but was poisoned, which has nothing to do with them.

"Don't worry, Lord Shangshu, we will definitely cooperate."

"Yes, if you have anything to ask, Lord Shangshu, just ask."

Everyone said one after another.

Guanzhuo nodded with satisfaction. This was not the first time he came to the imperial hospital to ask about the poisoning of the old emperor. He had been here before, and the imperial doctors were very cooperative, and this time was no exception.

Guanzhuo asked the officials from the Ministry of Justice who followed him to separate the imperial doctors and question them one by one, while he himself looked at Imperial Physician Liu.

"Physician Liu, do you have anything to add about the late emperor being poisoned?" Guanzhuo asked.

Doctor Liu shook his head and said, "No, I already said everything that needs to be said last time. That's all I know."

The last time the people from the Ministry of Justice asked about this, Doctor Liu had already told them everything he knew, but there was no useful clue.

Guan Zhuo nodded, suddenly changed the subject, and asked: "Doctor Liu, how is your relationship with the Third Prince?"

Hearing Guan Zhuo suddenly mention the Third Prince Zhao Lun, Doctor Liu's heart jumped suddenly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. After all, he was just an ordinary person, and he was not too deep. Guan Zhuo suddenly changed the subject, which made him unprepared and a little confused.

And Doctor Liu's reaction did not escape Guan Zhuo's eyes who had been paying attention to him, but Guan Zhuo's expression did not change at all.

"Why does the Minister ask this?" Doctor Liu asked.

"Nothing, just asking casually." Guan Zhuo said, "Why, it's inconvenient to say?"

"How could it be." Liu Taiyi said, "I have had several contacts with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but not many. He is His Royal Highness the Prince, and I am just an imperial physician. What relationship can I have with him? The Minister thinks too highly of me."

"Really?" Guan Zhuo's face, which had been stern all the time, suddenly showed a smile and said, "But why did I hear that Liu Taiyi hurried to His Royal Highness the Third Prince's residence not long after His Majesty passed away?"
