Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"But it doesn't matter."

Zhang Jun glanced at Gao Qiu, and Zhao Ning said, "Gao Qiu, step back first."

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

"Ok?"

"My minister retire."

Gao Qiu reluctantly walked out.

After walking out, Gao Qiu cursed in his heart: This Zhang Jun is really a little bitch!It's not a good thing at first glance!No no no!You must not let His Majesty be deceived by him!

Only Zhao Ning and Zhang Jun were left here, Zhao Ning said, "Let's talk, Qing."

"Your Majesty, when I came here today, I heard that Zong Han was deliberately let go when he withdrew his troops overnight."

When Zhang Jun said this, he had a pure and innocent look on his face, and every hair on his body exuded the brilliance of justice.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Zhao Ning also looked surprised, "Who did you hear?"

"It was said by a captain who participated in chasing Zong Han that night."

"What's his name, where is he?"

"It's called Zhou Feng, and he's a capital (centurion) under the First Battalion of the Third Army of the Shenwu Army." Zhang Jun quickly added, "I don't know why he told me that the matter is very important. , discover with your own conscience."

"Oh..." Zhao Ning pretended not to know anything, "What do you think I should do about this?"

"I think His Majesty should investigate strictly, because this matter is very involved."

"How do you say that?"

"When I first arrived in Zhaozhou, I heard that some military leaders on the border had private trade with the north. That Zonghan must have bribed some people to escape. I don't know who it is."

Zhang Jun almost pointed at Yue Fei's nose and said that Yue Fei and Zong Han had private business dealings.

It's really a thief shouting "stop thief!"

Zhang Jun in history, in front of Zhao Gou, was also famous for being tongue-twisting.

Zhao Ning looked at Zhang Jun with a smile, as gentle as his smile could be. He said, "I have also found some clues recently."

Chapter 788

Hearing that Zhao Guan's family also searched for some clues, Zhang Jun immediately became interested, but he still behaved very calmly.

"I'm stupid, I don't know what clues His Majesty found?"

"Naturally, some are smuggled at the border." Zhao Ning said kindly, "But these are trivial matters, and I don't want to worry about them."

"Your Majesty, this is a major matter. It is related to the military and political issues of the country. Those people smuggle..."

"Oh, what Zhang Qing said seems to make sense."

"These people deliberately let Zong Han go because of smuggling. Such a serious crime is really..." Zhang Jun paused, thought for a while, and continued, "Of course, although there are all the heads of the Shenwu Army who reported it, I believe that Yue Shuai is innocent, Yue Shuai enforces the law impartially, and wholeheartedly serves the country. The soldiers and generals below all love Yue Shuai and are loyal to him. When they heard that he sent troops to Zhongshan Mansion, the people went to the roadside to meet him, shouting for Yue Fei... ..."

Zhang Jun is getting more and more excited.

"What are you calling Yue Fei?" Zhao Ning asked.

Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "Long live Yue Fei!"

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

"Of course Yue Shuai is loyal to His Majesty." Zhang Jun changed the topic again, "But..."

Zhang Jun's ability to turn right and wrong and play tricks is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhao Ning also cooperated with him, and continued to ask: "But what?"

"But the people below may not be loyal to His Majesty. They only follow Yue Fei's lead. What if..."

Having said that, Zhang Jun stopped talking.

"What if?"

"If one day a yellow robe is added to the body, then..."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Ning's face suddenly darkened.

Zhang Jun was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I just expressed the worries in my heart. Yue Shuai is loyal to His Majesty, and Yue Shuai is the pillar of our Song Dynasty!"

What kind of words can kill?

While highly affirming you, they say you are a deadly threat.

This kind of statement sounds very objective and selfless, but if you really believe it, you will be fooled.

"So, Yue Fei is suspected of treason?" Zhao Ning's tone became cold.

"No no, Yue Shuai is absolutely not suspected of treason! But what the people below are thinking, I don't know! After all, they even let Zong Han go!"

Zhao Ning sneered: "What you said seems to make sense."

"Your Majesty is just speaking from your heart. I always think about Your Majesty, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. Your Majesty's thoughts are what I do. Your Majesty tells me to go east, but I will never go west. I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty." !"

"Good! Well said! I love to hear that!"

"I am not a flattering minister, I hope to be a pillar of Your Majesty's ministers and share your worries!"

"Well, you really shared my worries." Zhao Ning's tone was still kind, "I ask you, do you know Wang Can from Pengcheng?"

Zhang Jun's heart trembled slightly, of course he knew Wang Can, his white gloves.

However, if the Zhao family wants to investigate Wang Can, they will never find him.

Because Zhang Jun is very particular about what he does.

Zhang Jun said: "I heard that I met him last year about the food problem in the army. I asked him to buy some food for emergency. Why did your majesty ask him?"

"Oh, it's nothing, he said that you are his backer, and you can make my imperial guards die in this area without a trace."

Zhang Jun immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely nothing to do with this person. Your Majesty is aware that I am willing to cooperate with the court's investigation."

"I believe you, but look, this Wang Can is about to be brought to Tokyo for trial. He told me that he has conclusive evidence of your smuggling."

Zhang Jun suddenly fell into an ice cellar.

its not right!When did I leave evidence?

Every time Wang Can makes money at the border, he buys things at high prices here. How can this be called smuggling?

This is not called smuggling!

But Zhang Jun was still a little scared, because he was not Wang Can, how could he know what Wang Can had there.

"If these evidences are sent back to Tokyo and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Imperial City Division, you will face a public trial."

Zhao Guanjia's tone was very gentle, but this gentleness made Zhang Jun feel as heavy as a mountain on his shoulders.

Zhang Jun is indeed a very cunning person. He has a lot of white gloves under him, and he will never show up in person.

Playing with money very smoothly, other officials are in front of him, that is simply childishness.

However, since Zhao Ning had deliberately arranged for him to come to the border earlier, there would definitely be no other way to deal with him.

Zhao Ning changed the subject and continued, "I know that you are loyal to me."

"Yes! Your loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

"However, Qing is now involved in this big border smuggling case. Once the three divisions are interrogated and the Huangcheng Division is involved in the case, I will not be able to protect Qing after I have conclusive evidence, understand?"

Zhang Jun was so frightened that cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, his voice was a little hoarse: "Your Majesty..."

"Tell me truthfully, whether you have smuggled or not, tell me now, and before the evidence is sent to the capital, I will find a way for you to protect you."

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged, I will never do that kind of thing!"

Seeing that Zhang Jun couldn't be tricked, Zhao Ning took a deep breath and shouted to the outside: "Jing Chao, go, bring Zhao Mi to see me."

"Yes!" Jing Chao's voice came from outside.

As soon as Zhao Ning said this, Zhang Jun froze in place as if he had been hit hard.

Next, the monarch and his ministers fell into a dead silence.

The cold sweat on Zhang Jun's forehead dripped to the ground.

Could it be that Zhao Mi is someone who was placed by Zhao Guan's family by his side?

Zhang Jun's mind is like lightning.

Fortunately, my own accounts are all handled by my son Zhang Zigai.

Even if Zhao Mi knew that he was smuggling, he didn't have any evidence, and even if he was arranged to do business at the border, those business were all done with domestic merchants.

In a word: I, Zhang Jun, have never smuggled, I always buy and sell things with border merchants!

Today, Zhao officials attach the most importance to evidence collection.

This is also true. If you want to investigate the deputy commander of a military region, it is impossible to convict a person with a single sentence.

If it were really that simple, there would be a large number of unjust and wrong cases, and those with ulterior motives would definitely take the opportunity to accuse Zhongliang everywhere.

"I heard that Zhao Mi went back and forth to check the past business trips in the unintentional area of ​​the border?" Zhao Ning sat down again, picked up the teacup and drank slowly, his voice as calm as water.

Zhang Jun was stunned for a while before he realized: "That's because the minister asked him to strictly investigate the smuggling and prevent the golden men from secretly infiltrating it. It has nothing to do with smuggling!"

"I know it has nothing to do with smuggling."

Not long after, Zhao Mi came in, and he said: "I see Your Majesty."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Jun's heart was in his throat.

"Zhao Mi, I ask you, who let Zong Han go?"

When Zhao Guanjia asked such a question, Zhang Jun was immediately dumbfounded.

Zhao Mi has no evidence of his own smuggling, but he...

Zhao Mi said: "Report to Your Majesty, it was Deputy Chief Zhang who let him go."

"You..." Zhang Jun stared at Zhao Mi with wide eyes, staring at his former confidant.

"How do you know?" Zhao Ning asked again.

"The minister stayed next to Deputy Chief Zhang throughout the whole process. It was Deputy Chief Zhang who said that Zong Han was released, and he said that if he released Zong Han, he would be able to expand business with Jin Guo in the future."

"Your Majesty, he has wronged me!" Zhang Jun shouted in despair, "I have absolutely never traded money with Jin Guo."

"I know you didn't, but who let Zong Han go?"

Zhang Jun's face was ashen.

Chapter 789 The Zhao official family who plays with the overall situation! (third change)

Now there is no way to quibble.

"Your Majesty, spare your life. For the sake of your Majesty's life and death, I will spare your life."

"When did you die for me?"

Zhang Jun was at a loss for words.

"Zhao Mi, you go down first."

"My minister retire."

Zhao Mi went out, and the back of Zhao Ning's hand holding the sword was full of blue veins.

"I told you just now that if you throw those evidences in Tokyo, you will be criticized verbally and in writing, and you are still babbling in front of me."

Zhang Jun knelt there, pressing his forehead to the back of his hand, sweating profusely all over his body.

"Do you know that this is a great crime committed by the Yi people!"

"His Majesty……"

"Your son, Zhang Zigai, is 24 years old this year?" Zhao Ning's voice was calm, but the murderous intent was surging under the calmness, "Zhang Ziqi, Zhang Zihou, Zhang Ziyan, Zhang Zizheng, Zhang Ziren, the youngest is only 13 years old, right?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please forgive my family. Your Majesty will allow me to do whatever I want."

Zhang Jun is greedy, but it doesn't mean he is a cold-blooded person.
