Chapter 118 Is General Gao Willing To Work Under Me?
Thinking about things before and after, being hesitant and aiming too high.
This is what Liu Xie showed in front of him.
I just didn't expect Liu Xie to have figured out some places in the court.
"As General Liu said, Gao Shun was wronged?" Liu Xie asked.
"It should be like this." Liu Bei put away all carelessness and replied cautiously.
"That's good, then I will call someone to summon him and ask him loudly." Liu Xie nodded, without waiting too long, he directly called a guard outside the door, and said:
"Go to the prison and bring a man named Gao Shun to see me."
The guard responded and went to work.
Seeing this, Liu Bei didn't want to stay any longer, and wanted to leave after saying goodbye, but Liu Xie stopped him.
"Why is the general in a hurry to leave? Is there something urgent? How about we wait for Gao Shun together?"
Liu Bei stopped in his tracks stiffly, and said with a dry smile, "Since Your Majesty has said it, then Bei will naturally obey."
He found another seat and sat down.
………………
in prison.
Although Gao Shun didn't dare to take a break, he still couldn't bear the fatigue and squinted for a while.
"Where is General Gao? Zhang Tingwei wants to interrogate you personally."
It was the same jailer yesterday, and he should also be the one in the night. At this moment, he bent slightly, smiling all over his face, and said to Gao Shun.
"Lead me there." Gao Shun said lightly.
Then he stepped through the cell door opened by the jailer, without looking at the jailer, but walked to Tan Liu and his cell.
In Tan Liu's cell, the three people were originally lying on straw beds. When they heard that Gao Shun was about to be interrogated, they quickly stood up with worried faces.
On the ground next to him, the thief had been tortured by them early in the morning until he was reduced to a human shape. He was covered in dirty blood and did not know whether to live or die.
"General..." Tan Liu was a little worried.
"It's okay, I want to see if he dares to do something to me." Gao Shun comforted him, and then asked: "How is the interrogation going? Can you find out any useful information?"
Tan Liu shook his head with a solemn expression.
Seeing this, Gao Shun was not too disappointed, because he had already guessed it before, it was just a tool man for assassination, how much could he know?
Without saying much, he gestured to the three of them and followed the jailer out of the cell.
There was a bright light outside the cell, and the sun shone on Gao Shun's face, making him dazed for a moment
Although it was only half a day without exposure to the sun, it was like living in the dark all the time, without exposure to the light for a long time, which made people yearn for the sun.
"Take me away." Gao Shun said lightly.
"Yes, General, this way please."
The jailer didn't dare to make any small moves, and led Gao Shun obediently.
And the guards in the palace also stepped into the cell, and found a jailer and asked:
"I am a guard in the palace. Following His Majesty's instructions, I came to replace Gao Shun and enter the palace to meet Your Majesty. Where is Gao Shun?"
"Gao Shun, he was just taken out for interrogation," the jailer said.
"When were you taken out?"
"It wasn't long before I left."
The guard rushed out to look for Gao Shun, and happened to see Gao Shun surrounded by several jailers on the road.
"You are Gao Shun, I am the guard in the palace, His Majesty ordered me to call you into the palace."
In this way, Gao Shun was taken to the palace in a daze, and brought to Liu Xie.
Still in the side hall, both Liu Bei and Liu Xie were there, and the first thing Gao Shun saw was Liu Bei who was sitting on a chair and felt a little uneasy.
Liu Bei was wearing an official uniform, his ears were ridiculously big, and his arms were exceptionally long. Seeing Gao Shun, he quickly got up and introduced, "General Gao, this is Your Majesty."
"See Your Majesty." Gao Shun hurriedly saluted.
"No courtesy." Liu Xie said indifferently, and then began to look at Gao Shun.
Although he is not a fierce general like Kong Wu, he does not look very thin, and his appearance is ordinary and unremarkable.
It doesn't look like a talent who can fight, Liu Xie was thinking.
Liu Xie was sizing up Gao Shun, and Gao Shun was naturally sizing up him.
This is not the first time he has seen Liu Xie before the court meeting, and he also saw it from a distance.
But because of the distance, Liu Xie's appearance could not be seen clearly, but a figure in a yellow robe was vaguely seen.
Now that the lover can almost face to face, Gao Shun can take a closer look at him.
The first reaction is thin and thin, and the second reaction is young, who looks similar to his subordinate Jin Yu.
It's just that one is a high-ranking emperor, and the other is an ordinary soldier. There is a big difference between the two.
However, Gao Shun's thoughts were not entirely on this aspect, he was still thinking about why Liu Huihui summoned him, and Liu Bei was still present.
Could it be that you want to win over yourself?This scene is very similar to Liu Bei recommending himself to Liu Xie.
But why did Liu Bei do this?Gao Shun was a little confused.
Seeing that the two of them were silent at this time, Liu Bei took the initiative to speak: "General Gao, Your Majesty would like to know about your imprisonment."
jail?Could it be that he wanted to find justice for himself?Gao Shun didn't even think about hiding it, and told the whole process of the matter in detail.
From being assassinated in Xudu, to being framed and imprisoned, to finally being assassinated at night, there was no concealment, and the whole story was revealed.
"There is such a thing, and you will be assassinated in prison?" Liu Xie was a little displeased: "Hmph, this matter belongs to Zhang Lin, it seems that he should be beaten hard."
Liu Bei was also shocked. All he knew about this matter was that Gao Shun was imprisoned. He didn't know anything about the rest of it. He didn't expect Gao Shun to be assassinated again.
"General Gao, are you sure you didn't provoke anyone in the city?" Liu Bei asked for Liu Xie.
"That's natural. I'm new here, how can I provoke people for no reason?"
Gao Shun could also see that although these two were using the name of repaying their innocence, they probably had other thoughts.
But he doesn't care too much, if there is something, then what harm can it do to him?At least he fished himself out of prison.
"This matter turned out to be framed by someone, and that person's strength should not be underestimated, because before I was imprisoned, the boy's confession was full of loopholes, but Zhang Lin and Zhang Tingwei put me in jail indiscriminately, and he was probably the same I have been bribed, please tell me, Your Majesty."
What he said first was to prove his innocence and let them focus on the boy who provided the confession, so he stomped on Zhang Lin and pointed out Zhang Lin's problem.
"I understand, General Gao, don't worry, the case will definitely come to light." Liu Xie didn't show much shock, but said very calmly:
"I'll have someone bring that boy up for interrogation later, and now I have something else I want to ask General Gao."
Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but straighten his posture a lot, and Gao Shun also had a solemn look on his face, because he knew the highlight was coming.
"Is General Gao willing to work under my command?"
