Ma Ye

In the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor put down the letter in his hand with a wry smile, staring at the incense table with curling cigarettes, speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty." Wang Chuhe called softly.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, Wang Chuhe was slightly startled, he had never seen His Majesty look so tired.

"That's it, you send more people to escort the treasure back to Beijing, and I will announce it at the court tomorrow." The emperor said.

"This subordinate understands." Wang Chuhe nodded in agreement.

Wang Chuhe was about to step back when someone reported that Princess Lingyang was begging to see him. The emperor nodded, and saw Zhao Heng and the Grand Duke walking in, dressed in women's attire. Seeing his mouth curled up, he smiled sinisterly, "Oh, I It just so happened."

Seeing him coming in, the emperor smiled warmly, "What's the matter, why did you come to the palace specially today?"

Zhao Heng casually picked a chair and sat down, helped up his sleeves, and saw that the palace servant had retreated before he said, "Brother Huang has something to hide from me."

Hearing his unquestionable tone, the emperor had some confidence in his heart, and his smile froze a bit. He picked up the letter at hand and signaled Wang Chuhe to hand it to him, "Look."

Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and took it, and after a while, his casual expression couldn't help becoming serious, "What's going on?"

The emperor said indifferently, "Emperor Gaozu had no money to turn around when the country was in trouble, so he dug a mountain and chiseled an ax to build it. Only the emperors of the Zhao family knew the location of the treasure, and appointed the Wang family to send people to guard it in case of emergencies." Said. At this point the emperor paused, "Just a few days ago, the regent sent someone to seize the treasure, and more than half of the Wang family was killed or injured. The rest of the story will be as stated in the letter."

Zhao Heng silently looked at the list of casualties of the royal family summarized in the letter, Wang Qizhao's name was impressively listed.

"Wang Qizhao is dead?"

"After the mountain was opened, there was no trace of him, probably because there were no bones left after the bombing."

"How long has he been in trouble?"

"It's 21 days."

Zhao Heng's eyes darkened, so even if he was not killed by the bomb, he would starve to death, "Why do you have to hide it from me, brother?"

The emperor bowed his head silently, he couldn't speak, he was afraid that he chose to blow up the entrance of the treasure, and he also wanted to remind the regent that if the regent knew he knew and still insisted on taking the treasure, he would open the mountain to get the treasure and make the treasure public.

Even though he knew that Wang Qizhao had the possibility of surviving, he still chose to sacrifice him. Seeing the news of the regent, and now seeing the news from his subordinates, he had no choice but to make an enemy of the regent.

It was he who was shaking because of Zhang Changxi.

Has Chang Xi already chosen to side with his father?

Shouldn't he also understand this when he was discovered by his father from the treasure location?Why still hope that with him in his heart, maybe he can change the situation?

The reality is not as beautiful as imagined, it's his fault that he shouldn't talk to Zhang Changxi about everything.

Seeing Zhao Heng looking at him with dull eyes, "The treasures have been safe for so many years, but why did the regent know about them a few days ago?"

Zhao Heng stared at the emperor and sneered, "It's because of what Zhang Changxi said."

Seeing that Zhao Heng guessed it, the emperor could only smile helplessly, "It's the fault of the emperor."

Zhao Heng circled his fingers, stared at the emperor's lips and squirmed a few times. After all, he couldn't speak the words of reproach. He asked tentatively, "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor asked me if I would blame you. I said I would not blame the emperor. Today, I will still not blame Brother Huang, but now I want to ask, if I kill Zhang Changxi in the future, will Brother Huang blame me?"

The emperor's pupils shrank slightly, and his gaze fell lightly on the memorial. After a long time, he blinked his eyes, his nose moved slightly, and he said calmly, "If you want to kill, then kill. We are now enemies of the regent. If you don't do anything I'll do it too."

Zhao Heng laughed loudly, and said again with murderous intent in his voice, "Brother Huang still doesn't know how to lie, but it's okay, you don't want to kill me for you, and you pay for your life. It’s not an exaggeration for him to kill off his descendants.”

After Zhao Heng finished speaking, he said indifferently, "Since the emperor has already told me, I'm fine. I have something to ask the head of the king, can I take a step to talk?"

The emperor nodded with a wry smile.

With a cold face, Zhao Heng glanced at Wang Chuhe before walking out the door.

Wang Chuhe resigned from the emperor in embarrassment. It is not a good thing to witness the two brothers bickering. He deeply realized that Zhao Heng is also a person who is not afraid of death, and dared to challenge the emperor.

The two walked along the road for a while, when Zhao Heng saw that there was no one around, he said, "It's been almost two months since I asked you to investigate, even if there is no news, you don't have to avoid me."

"..." Wang Chuhe could feel the sharpness of Zhao Heng's eyes whizzing across the screen, and said cheekily, "You also know that Jinghongmen has a lot of cases to handle every day, and it's Chen who dragged me to deal with it." It takes a certain amount of time for an old case."

Zhao Heng was in a bad mood and didn't go around with him, "Don't talk to me about these scenes, I will let others investigate besides you." He cast Wang Chuhe a cold look, "Why did the Guihe Village case happen two years ago? Being suppressed, why did Jinghongmen suppress it for the Regent?"

"Why do you know?" Wang Chuhe almost bit his tongue in surprise.

When Zhao Heng heard his words, there was a hint of complacency on the corner of his mouth, and Wang Chuhe immediately knew that he had been deceived.

"Even if the Regent wants to cover the sky with his hands, there are still traces to be found. My people can find out, but how can Jinghongmen not find out? You acted suspiciously after I offered to help, and you disappeared after Qixi Festival. I just I don't understand why you didn't disclose any information to Tan Haozhi, and even helped suppress the case, what's the secret?"

"Forgive me for not being able to speak bluntly. This is also the emperor's decision. The reason why I can't disclose it can also be said that it is because the emperor dare not. I am afraid that the only person the emperor can fully trust now is you." Wang Chuhe became bright these days because of Liang Yu'er's company. His eyes returned to the previous numbness, "It's better for Haozhi not to know the truth of the matter, he will definitely feel guilty with his temperament, so why put another heavy shackle on him, you also know that Haozhi's ideal is to have enough Ability to be a good official for the country and the people, wouldn't it be good to let him be a clean official?"

Zhao Heng sighed, "I don't care what you are hiding, it's better to know than not to know anything, and it's better for you to speak up than for me to speak up about some things. You grew up with Haozhi, and perhaps it's more appropriate for you to tell him about these things." Speaking of this, Zhao Heng stared at Wang Chuhe and smiled, "But if you let me know that you have endangered him, I might kill you."

Wang Chuhe was not afraid to laugh back, "The princess is so good to Haozhi, my righteous brother is very pleased, but I hope you don't force him on emotional matters, otherwise I am not a vegetarian."

Zhao Heng snorted unhappily, "That's between my wife and me, it's none of your business, you let him help you raise your wife for eight years, and you want to delay me and him?"

"..." Seeing that he moved Liang Yu'er out, Wang Chuhe didn't dare to reply, and finally followed Zhao Heng to the palace gate without saying a word, and bowed like an ordinary guard and left.

In fact, this is not entirely the case. Wang Chuhe knew that this past event was not dared to be mentioned except by the emperor.

The emperor was afraid that Haozhi would be disappointed with the power and lose his talents after he found out. What was he afraid of? He was afraid that the emperor would punish him?

What is he afraid of if he is not even afraid of death?

Just because the lives of those in Guihecun belonged to him...that was a crime he dared not speak of.

Even though the sun is shining brightly, why does he feel that it is dark ahead, and when will it be dawn.

Zhao Heng went back to the mansion just in time for lunch. Perhaps it was the result of entering the palace together yesterday, but Tan Haozhi didn't hide in the study when he returned to the mansion, but sat at the dining table to eat with them.

Seeing Tan Haozhi looking at him secretly, Zhao Heng's mood improved a bit, and he took a few bites of food for Tan Haozhi with his chopsticks.

Tan Hao paused, and his dazed look made Tan Yueyao, who was nibbling on the chicken leg, giggle, "Daddy Tan is shy."

"...", Tan Haozhi.

"Xiao Yueyao, don't say that, lest your daddy Qin won't dare to eat with us when he becomes more shy." Zhao Heng smiled kindly, and rewarded Yueyao with a chicken leg.

Qin Yueyao nodded obediently.

Qin Haozhi, "..."

Tan Haozhi now felt that he was really stupid to come back from the government hall because he was worried about the princess entering the palace and being made things difficult for him.
