【"I would like to ask the girl, can I meet the Lord whom the girl said?"

"My Patriarch will naturally let you go to see him when the time comes, but my Patriarch has a bad temper, often has a sullen face, and doesn't like people who talk too much."

"Don't like people who talk a lot?"

"So when you see him, don't say anything too much. Before doing anything, the Lord will ask you for a question. Although he is cold, he will not treat you. Just answer according to what I taught. "]

As the breeze blew by, the reddish gardenia lanterns swayed gently. A young man in double-breasted cross-collar alighted from the carriage, followed by several burly entourages.

The person who came here had an extraordinary demeanor, which made people's eyes shine. He should be either rich or expensive, so he was surrounded by several women just after he stepped in the door.

Two attendants stepped forward to stop them, but the big-eyed and small-eyed ones didn't reprimand them. Several women looked at each other and thought these attendants were dumb.

Immediately the Lord asked in a low voice: "Where is the Ningxiang Pavilion?"

"In Building A."

"Take us!"

The attendant took out an ingot of gold and threw it.

--------

Someone in the cabinet came to serve tea just now, he neither sat down nor touched the tea on the table after he came in.

He just stared at the two women for a long time, then walked slowly to the window with his hands behind his hands, his fists in his sleeves were already clenched, he suppressed his anger in his heart, but pulled a serious face.

"Who sent you to the home of the Imperial Medical Officer?"

Seeing that he was well dressed and there were so many people following behind him, the two women looked at each other and nodded, and replied to him: "It's His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness bought us back from the brothel, and sent us to Doctor Yang's home to take care of him. Monitor and pass on messages."

King Zhao snorted coldly, "Sure enough!"

The two women raised their heads, not surprised, 【"My master knows that Doctor Yang belongs to the crown prince."】

Immediately, King Zhao asked again: "Why did Imperial Physician Yang send you to disciple Shen?"

"The two of us didn't know that General Shen would come to Doctor Yang's house, and we didn't know that he would be attracted to him..." After finishing speaking, the two of us hugged and cried, "Both of us still have injuries. Doctor Yang said that he is just a petty official and cannot afford to offend the crown prince, but even less can he offend the people behind General Shen."

Zhao Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, "What about the gunpowder in Shen Tu's house?"

"It's His Royal Highness... His Royal Highness redeemed us with a lot of money. Seeing that General Shen took us to the Shen Mansion, he sent someone to contact us when we were out. Every time General Shen went out on duty, he brought them back one after another, because he doted on me and the two of us, the guards in the house respected us very much, and even called us... big lady!"

Hearing this, King Zhao gritted his teeth, "That fellow Shen Tu!"

He tilted his head in disbelief and asked, "Did the prince really do it?"

【"To test whether you are loyal or not, the lord will have repeated questions and even threats. I shouldn't need to remind you how to do it!"】

The woman nodded again and again, and she was very sure, "What I said by the slave family is absolutely not false."

"What about King Chu, this matter has nothing to do with King Chu?"

"Prince Chu?" The two looked at each other for a moment, as if they sounded familiar, "Prince Chu is the county king who was given a single name at the crowning ceremony when he returned to Beijing last year?"

The expressions of the two women did not seem to be false, which made King Zhao fall into deep thought again, "Forget it, you should tell the truth in the confrontation in the courtroom. Remember, you are in the hands of this king now. If you If the confrontation in court in the future dares to be a little different from what you said today, this king will definitely make your life worse than death!"

"Yes."

--------

The next day, not long after the morning court, before the emperor's stool was warmed up, Xiao Xianfu hurried inside.

"His Majesty!"

"Why is Xiao Qing so flustered?"

"Your Majesty said that you can't search in the open, and the minister is incompetent. After searching secretly for a month, you couldn't find those two people."

Xiao Xianfu raised his head again, and took a few steps forward, "But a spies reported that two women appeared at the gate of the commander's house in front of the palace last night, and King Zhao also went to Shen's residence."

The emperor raised his calm face, threw the pen in his hand, his color changed instantly, and he opened his eyes slightly and asked, "Where is the man with King Zhao?"

Xiao Xianfu nodded, "Besides, I also found out one more thing. Jiang Tong was wrongly sentenced to prison earlier. His Majesty refused to allow a thorough investigation and let the prince solve it himself. I didn't pursue it any further. This time, the case of Shen Tu... "

Xiao Xianfu lowered his head hesitantly.

The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, "Say!"

"The Prime Minister of Dali Temple is the prince's man!"

The emperor opened his mouth and took a deep breath, his eyes were reddish, he raised his hand, and immediately slammed his fist on the table, stood up and shouted: "Call the prince..."

"Qizou Your Majesty, the Envoy of Dengwen Drum Academy asks to see you!"

The emperor secretly suppressed his anger, "One by one, they are rushing to urge their lives!" Turning their backs, "Let him in!"

An eunuch entered, "Your Majesty, there are people beating drums in front of the gate to complain!"

Xiao Xianfu took the memorial from the eunuch and handed it over to the emperor.

The emperor opened it, but the two small characters of Shen Tu were extremely eye-catching, even dazzling. He almost tore the memorial in half, and then calmed down and let out a sigh of relief, "Let the Dali Temple accept it first, and someone will thoroughly investigate Shen Tu." If the evidence is convincing, the case will be reopened in three days!"

After hearing this, the eunuch took back the complaint from Xiao Xianfu, "Yes!"

"Your Majesty, don't get angry, the body is important."

After the eunuch left, the emperor let out a long sigh, turned around and said, "Before they reopen the case, let King Zhao bring people and evidence..." The emperor suddenly stopped, frowned and looked up at the palace. The sky outside, "Show me, I'm going out of the palace!"

Xiao Xianfu followed closely.

"Go to Prince Zhao's Mansion!"

"Yes."

The holy driver came out from Danei Chenhui Gate, and the chariot stopped at the gate of King Zhao's Mansion, and then the mansion was surrounded by the Forbidden Army of the Imperial City Division.

An arrow sounded and hit the bullseye.

"My lord, my lord!"

"Why are you so flustered? The matter over there is settled?" Zhao Wang put down the longbow in his hand, went to the shed to wipe his hands.

"Your Majesty is down!"

"What?" The emperor came suddenly without warning, and King Zhao looked up in shock. After realizing it, he threw the cloth in his hand and hurried to the gate.

Zhao Wang rushed out, seeing that the emperor was wearing casual clothes, and his face was very dull, Zhao Wang was even more flustered, secretly suppressing his fear, he stepped forward, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Son, please be safe, Daddy."

The emperor just nodded slightly, and walked straight into the middle hall of the palace.

"Why did Daddy come in person? He didn't tell my son in advance, and my son was not prepared at all."

"I just thought of it suddenly, so I wanted to see you."

At this time, it was only an hour before the early morning dispersal. The emperor was busy with government affairs on weekdays, and he would not leave Da Nei except for major events. King Zhao knew this very well.

"It's all bad. I haven't been to Da Nei to visit my father and mother recently."

King Zhao went to the side hall on the left side of the middle hall and dismissed everyone, and personally brought a cup of tea to the emperor, "Daddy, please drink tea."

"Daddy, be careful it's hot." Put the tea on the table.

The emperor raised his head slowly and stared at the very filial King Zhao, "I have so many things to do on weekdays that I can't take care of Saburo, so can Saburo blame me?"

Zhao Wang then squatted down beside the emperor, hanging his body gently, "How can you blame Daddy, Daddy is the king of the world."

"I am the king and the father."

"A while ago, I blamed you because of Liu Lang's affairs. I feel bad."

"It's my son's fault to make daddy angry and make daddy uncomfortable."

"I'm getting old. Whether it's this family or the world, it will always be in your hands in the future. It's not easy to manage a family, but it's even more difficult to control the world."

"I know that Daddy has to worry about the affairs of the world, and he also has to worry about our worthless sons."

"I hope that no matter who it is in the future, this country will be peaceful and safe as it is now. I also hope that your brothers will be harmonious and work together to the outside world. Although I drove Khitan thousands of miles away, I burned the grassland. Next year it will grow new ones. Grass, endless."

King Zhao stopped what he was doing, raised his head hesitantly, stared blankly at the emperor, and stared at those eyes that he could never understand, and said in a daze, "Daddy?"

The emperor got up and walked forward, "There are only three of you under my knees, I am tired, I hope you three can take some of the burden for me, so I discussed with the old officials and let you go out of the court." He turned back and looked down at King Zhao, " Your elder brother is Chu Er, and you and Liu Lang are your elder brother's right and left hands."

The emperor put his hands behind his back, "I don't want to repeat what happened to King Yan again!" After saying that, he turned around and stepped out of the middle hall of King Zhao's mansion.

After the emperor left, Zhao Wang hurriedly got up, but Xiao Xianfu stopped him at the door.

Zhao Wang froze, "Mr. Xiao's business?"

"Third King, I am under the order of Your Majesty, please, Three Kings, hand over the person to the lower official!"

"what?"

Xiao Xianfu cupped his hands, "Your Majesty has ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case of Shen Tu's treason. If the evidence is convincing, the third envoy will reopen the case in three days."

"Who does Your Majesty want? Who does Your Majesty want to protect?"

"Your Majesty knows that the man is in the hands of the Three Kings, and His Majesty will not protect anyone, but this case is very important. Man, the Three Kings can not hand it over to the lower officials, but the lower officials will interrogate the case on behalf of His Majesty before reopening the case in Dali Temple. The three kings have three days to choose and consider."

"His Majesty knows everything?"

Xiao Xianfu nodded, "Yes!"

After the emperor returned, he refused the invitation of all the ministers today.

"Your Majesty has not read the memorial sent directly from the state capital."

The emperor raised his head and roared angrily, "What do you look at, the house is not peaceful, will this country be safe?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao is back."

Xiao Xianfu entered, the emperor supported his forehead, saw that Xiao Xianfu's hands were empty, raised his eyebrows and said, "Where's the person?"

Xiao Xianfu shook his head, "The three kings refused to give anyone, this is the confession of those two people." He took out a statement with fingerprints on it from his pocket, and presented it to him.

The emperor only glanced at it briefly, then twisted it into a ball angrily, and said in disbelief, "How could I have such a stupid son?"

Xiao Xianfu bowed his head and cupped his hands and said: "The three kings also asked the minister to tell His Majesty that the three kings regard the prince as his own brother, but the prince only treats the three kings as his ministers."

The emperor took a deep breath, bent over, and Xiao Xianfu hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the ball of paper and handed it to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the body is important."

The emperor took the ball of paper, walked slowly to the seat, unfolded the crumpled paper again, and sighed, "Go down first."

"Yes."

"Zhao Ci."

"The little guy is here."

The emperor looked at the densely packed words, frowned and said, "Where is Sichuan?"

"The villain sent people over to investigate for half a month, but nothing was found."

The emperor glanced again at the place where the green robe usually stood.

"Your Majesty, the living man will rest for ten days today. He should be at home. Do you need to pass on..."

"No need, inform Kunning Hall that I will be there tonight."

"Yes."

"Also!" The emperor raised his head with red eyes angrily, and said viciously, "Tell the prince to come and see me!"
