Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 152 Surfaced

   Zhao Helin's eyes shrank suddenly, staring closely at Cheng Maoming.

  Cheng Maoming didn't look at him, and said to Emperor Tai'an: "Is Zhao Helin instigating Yang Wu, the emperor will know if he asks."

   After a brief silence, Emperor Tai'an asked, "Where are the people?"

   "In Jinlinwei."

   "Bring people."

   What followed was a suffocating wait, Zhao Helin was dripping with cold sweat, and from time to time he lifted his sleeves to wipe the sweat.

   Emperor Tai'an looked through the memorials on the dragon's case expressionlessly. In the room where the needles could be heard falling, only the slight sound of paper flipping could be heard.

   After an unknown amount of time, Yang Wu was finally brought before Emperor Tai'an.

   Emperor Tai'an threw the book on the table at will, and looked at the trembling man kneeling on the ground with a heavy gaze.

   "Head up."

   As this majestic voice sounded, Yang Wu slowly raised his head.

   This is a man in his thirties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a very straight appearance, but the too flashing eyes make the whole person frivolous.

   Emperor Tai'an didn't like to frown.

  Yang Wu, an idler wandering the streets, never thought that he would see the Son of Heaven one day, and he was so frightened that he was blinded.

   "The grass people see, see, see the emperor..."

   "Why do you buy murderers to kill?" Tai'an Emperor asked in a deep voice.

   In the face of Jin Linwei's means, Yang Wu did not resist, let alone in front of the king of a country.

   At this moment, he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​concealment in his mind, and he said it without stumbling: "Master Zhao asked Caomin to do this!"

   "Yang Wu, stop talking nonsense!" Despite having the worst plan, Zhao Helin was still furious when he saw Yang Wu sell him so happily.

  Yang Wu looked at Zhao Helin and said dumbly: "Master Zhao is also..."

  It turned out that he was too nervous, and he didn't even notice that Zhao Helin was there.

  Emperor Tai'an flew over with a cold look, Zhao Helin didn't dare to say a word, and beads of sweat appeared one after another on his forehead, as if they were fished out of the water.

   "How did he explain to you?"

  Yang Wu said honestly, and finally took out the money that he gained from it: "The Caomin is not for money, but because he is afraid that he will not listen to Master Zhao. Master Zhao will trouble the Caomin, and ask the emperor to spare his life!"

   He banged his head, making a thump on the ground.

  Liu Chuan, the **** standing by Emperor Tai'an's side, was very distressed. He secretly broke the gold brick. How could he pay for this shit.

   "Enough, take him down."

   As soon as Emperor Tai'an spoke, Yang Wu was dragged down immediately.

   Emperor Tai'an looked at Zhao Helin.

   Zhao Helin, who was kneeling, slumped like a puddle of mud on the ground: "This minister should be damned—"

   "Damn you, but I still want to know, why did you do this?"

   Zhao Helin lowered his head and fell into silence.

   Do you tell the emperor that he is the prince?

  The emperor will be so embarrassed.

   Emperor Tai'an sneered: "Zhao Helin, do you think Cheng Maoming didn't explain to me? I'm just giving you a chance to see if you choose to bear the consequences yourself, or kill your family."

   Cheng Maoming, who was kneeling silently, was secretly shocked when he heard this.

  The emperor really used clichés to perfection. He had just slapped his words, and now it was Zhao Helin's turn. He was already prepared to escape, and as for Zhao Helin, who was under heavy pressure, his head might not be so bright.

As Cheng Maoming expected, because Yang Wu confessed without hesitation, Zhao Helin's heart was defeated long ago. Hearing what Emperor Tai'an said, he was so terrified: "The minister explained, the minister explained, it was the prince beside the prince who asked the minister to do this. made!"

   "What did you say?" Emperor Tai'an shook his hand and overturned the teacup in his hand, but he didn't care that the flowing tea immersed the memorial.

   Zhao Helin realized that he was being rhetorical, and suddenly looked at Cheng Maoming.

  Cheng Maoming had no reaction on his face, but a smile was hidden in his eyes.

   Zhao Helin's heart fell straight down and fell into the ice cave.

  It's over, it's over!

   Cheng Maoming found out that he was related to the prince, but he didn't dare to say it, but he was deceived by the emperor without turning his head for a while!

   Zhao Helin looked at Emperor Tai'an in despair and had only one thought: the dignified emperor, how could this be?

   Emperor Tai'an strode up to Zhao Helin and asked every word: "Did the people around the prince asked you to do it?"

   Zhao Helin did not dare to answer, his head almost buried on the ground.

   "Speak!" Emperor Tai'an kicked him over with a kick, his voice was as cold as a knife, "Otherwise I will kill your nine clans!"

   Zhao Helin got up and knelt again, crying, "Yes..."

   Emperor Tai'an took a deep breath to calm down his mood, and looked at Cheng Maoming, who was kneeling on the other side.

  Cheng Maoming lowered his head lower.

   "What else did you find out?"

  Cheng Maoming hurriedly said: "Reporting to the emperor, the minister only found out that Zhao Helin instructed Yang Wu to buy the murderer, but he has not found out the reason why Zhao Helin did this."

   A look of resentment came, and Cheng Maoming accepted it calmly.

  's defeated generals, no matter how hard they struggle, they can't make a splash.

   "Anything else?" Tai'an Emperor's voice could not be heard, but it was so overwhelming that people could hardly breathe.

  Cheng Maoming struggled in his heart for a moment, and said honestly: "The origins of the two prisoners were also found out. One of them is Wang Hu and the other is Zhang Shan. They are battalions of the same squad of Xuanwu Battalion."

   With Emperor Tai'an's suspicion and caution, he used trusted people in key places. Hearing this, he immediately thought of his brother-in-law Dou Qisheng.

   Zhao Helin admitted that it was Wang Gui next to the prince who made him kill and silence. Cheng Maoming also found out that the two prisoners were soldiers of the prince's younger uncle. At this time, it could be said that there was no doubt that the abduction of Miss Lin was planned by the prince.

   This bastard!

  If there were no courtiers there, Emperor Tai'an could not wait to scold him for an hour before going to the East Palace to swell the prince's face.

  But now he has to clean up the mess that the prince made.

After slowing down, Emperor Tai'an said, "Zhao Helin is the commander of Jinlinwei, but he knows the law and violates the law. Because he is dissatisfied with Wei Wang's choice of concubine, he instructs people to kidnap the prospective Wei Wangfei, kill and silence, and the crime is unforgivable! When you do things, you don't need to be involved with your family, that is, you will be given a glass of wine."

   Zhao Helin collapsed to the ground, thanking him with a crying voice: "Chen Xie, Lord Longen—"

   Soon two guards came over and dragged Zhao Helin away like a dog.

   The hall suddenly became deserted, except for the palace servants who restrained their breathing, the emperor and minister of Emperor Tai'an and Cheng Maoming.

   "Cheng Qing." Tai'an said.

   Cheng Maoming's scalp tightened, and he hurriedly responded: "The minister is here."

   "It's hard work for you to investigate the case these days."

   "It is an honor for the minister to share his worries for the emperor. The minister only regrets that he didn't do things well."

   "Cheng Qing has done a good job. You are the one who found out Zhao Helin, who is loyal to the outside world and traitor to the inside."

   Such praise did not make Cheng Maoming relaxed, but put pressure on him.

   "The Xuanwu Camp will investigate again to see what connection those two prisoners have with Zhao Helin."

   Cheng Maoming's heart sank.

  The meaning of the emperor is obviously going to cover up for the prince.
