Chapter 251: Feeling the Dangers of the World for the First Time
Lu Yanshi also became interested.
He teased the puppy: "Say 'Good luck to the Ninth Princess.'"
The puppy turned his head and looked at Gao Jianzhang behind him.
Gao Jianzhang's face darkened and he patted its butt again.
"Hurry up and say long live the Ninth Princess."
"Long live the Ninth Princess." The puppy spoke again.
This childish voice sounds a bit awkward.
"Go and bring the Ninth Princess here so she can see this new thing." Lu Yanshi ordered Cao Dehai to bring the person here.
As soon as Lu Li arrived, Lu Yanshi took her into his arms and asked with a smile: "Xiaojiu, look, this puppy can talk, do you like it?"
Deep down, he hoped that Lu Li would like it.
That way she wouldn't be thinking about flying out of the palace on a hawk all day long.
When Lu Li heard that a puppy could talk, she was immediately surprised.
The young eunuch walked up to Lu Li holding the puppy.
Lu Li took a closer look and was so frightened that she shrank into Lu Yanshi's arms.
【Ahhhhhh, this is not a puppy, this is a child. 】
Lu Yanshi was also shocked when he heard this.
He stared at the puppy's face carefully. The more he looked, the more he felt that its eyes and nose looked like a child's.
He couldn't help but shiver.
[How can these people dare to do such an evil thing! ]
Lu Li learned the truth through the gossip system and was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Two years after she was reincarnated as an adult, she felt the dangers of the world for the first time.
She couldn't express her true feelings clearly, and Lu Yanshi was a little anxious. What exactly happened?
"Father, this is not a dog, it's a human." Lu Li had no choice but to pretend to sleep before telling the truth.
She is scared.
She was afraid that more children would die in vain.
"What?" Lu Yanshi pretended to be surprised.
The dog is not a dog, the dog is a person?
The little eunuch holding the puppy was a little confused and didn't understand what Lu Li meant.
"Princess Nine, this dog can only speak human language, it is not a real human." Gao Jianzhang explained with a smile.
He thought Lu Li was frightened by the strange sight and was talking nonsense.
"This is a human, a little boy who is over two years old." Lu Li looked at the puppy in front of him seriously, with tears in his eyes.
Same age, this kid, so miserable.
Lu Li pointed at the "puppy" in front of her and cried, "They also stole many children and turned them into puppies, but he was the only one who survived."
Now the young eunuch understood.
His hand trembled, and the "puppy" fell to the ground.
"Woo, woo, woo." The child wrapped in dog skin started crying subconsciously.
But he soon realized that crying like that was wrong, and he started barking softly, imitating the whimpering sound of a puppy.
"Catch him and send him to the Sky Prison!" Lu Yanshi was furious.
This guy actually used such a underhanded method to seek credit.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent." Gao Jianzhang immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in panic.
He originally thought that by using this dog to please the Ninth Princess, he could move up a level. After all, the Ministry of Works had become Qu Fufeng's world, and he, the Minister of Works, had almost become a decoration.
Unexpectedly, it led to imprisonment.
"My son bought this dog from outside, and I have no idea about it."
He was so frightened that he burst into tears and tried to explain himself, fearing that if he was a second slower he would be dragged away and beheaded.
Lu Yanshi said nothing and glanced down at Lu Li.
Lu Li choked up with tears in her eyes and said, "It was his son Gao Hongtu who did it."
Gao Jianzhang was shocked.
His bastard son has always been well-behaved and obedient, how could he create such a horrible thing.
But he didn't dare to defend his son. He could only lower his head and try to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Lu Yanshi's eyebrows twitched and he was very angry. He ordered people to capture Gao Hongtu.
Gao Hongtu was brought into the palace anxiously.
"Gao Hongtu, you are so brave. You actually dare to pretend that a child is a black dog!" Lu Yanshi was filled with anger when he saw him.
Gao Hongtu's head buzzed. He never expected that the truth would be revealed.
Obviously, this dog has deceived many people.
Why was it discovered?
But there was no way he could admit that he knew about this, otherwise it would be a disaster.
He shook his head hastily in denial: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."
Seeing that he did not admit it, Lu Yanshi sneered.
Even if he doesn't admit it, he has plenty of ways to make him admit it.
"Send the Ninth Princess back to Weiyang Palace." Lu Yanshi was afraid that his daughter would be frightened after seeing the scene that followed, so he had her sent away.
Lu Li was very obedient this time and did not insist on staying.
She looked at the "puppy" and felt scared and sorry for him.
"Chuyi, pry open his mouth as quickly as possible. Just leave him a breath." Lu Yanshi ordered the secret guards to take action.
"yes."
Chuyi received the order and dragged Gao Hongtu directly to the side hall.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent." Gao Hongtu shouted in fear.
Lu Yanshi said nothing.
Gao Hongtu looked at his father again and struggled desperately: "Dad, save me, save me."
Gao Jianzhang pursed his lips and said nothing, allowing the secret guards to drag the man away.
Chuyi didn't hesitate and directly ordered someone to pull out Gao Hongtu's nails.
One, two, three...
Gao Hongtu's screams came from the side hall, and Gao Jianzhang's hair on his back stood up when he heard it.
"Your Majesty, my son..." He finally couldn't bear it and wanted to plead for his son.
Unexpectedly, Gao Hongtu next door suddenly screamed, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
When he pulled out the fourth nail, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Hearing this, Gao Jianzhang swallowed his words of plea and changed his tone to say, "Your Majesty, if this is really my son's doing, Your Majesty will handle it. There is no such a heartless beast in my Gao family."
Gao Hongtu, who was dragged into the hall like a dead dog, trembled all over when he heard this.
"Dad! You are really my dad."
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
He was a bastard's son and was not valued. If he hadn't done this to please his father, he wouldn't have done this.
Gao Jianzhang lowered his head and pretended not to hear what he said.
"Can you tell the truth now?" Lu Yanshi stared at Gao Hongtu with an unfriendly look.
"I'll tell you everything." Gao Hongtu smiled bitterly and explained the whole story.
He heard that the emperor had promised a large sum of money to collect all kinds of rare and exotic animals, and he also heard his father talking about wanting to be promoted at home all day long. Gao Hongtu, who had never been favored, began to have ideas.
If he could find a special animal and give it to his father to help him get promoted, perhaps his life in the mansion would be easier.
When Gao Hongtu was asking around, he remembered an interesting story he heard from his classmates when he first entered school.
His neighbor in his hometown once had a smart dog that could talk and sing, and earned him a lot of money. After the neighbor became rich, he moved away. Many people wanted to get another dog from him but couldn't.
Gao Hongtu went out in person and found the man.
He used his status as the son of the Minister of Works, coercion and inducement, and finally found out the secret of the dog.
