Chapter 276: The willows and flowers are bright

Zhao Shenqiao was born in a famous family, with a prominent family background, and was considered honest as an official, but there was one thing that was bad. He was extremely harsh in dealing with others. If he looked at his colleagues, his subordinates would just be a joke. This is true in Zhejiang and in the court. In the civil and military affairs of the court, there were no friends, and he didn't even have colleagues who could speak. He was called "stone-hearted".

A person's heart always grows with flesh. No matter how strong a heart is, there is always the softest piece of land in his heart. Zhao Xiongzhao is where Zhao Shenqiao's life is.

Zhao Xiongzhao, whose courtesy name was Hou Chi and whose name was Qiu E; Zhao Shenqiao's eldest son, was the first scholar in the 48th year of Kangxi, and he was outstanding in literary talent since childhood, and he was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, his fate was not good. His mother was Zhao Shenqiao's concubine. Because of offending the mistress, the mother and son were expelled from the family very early. This was a scandal of the Zhao family and was never known to outsiders. However, since Zhao Shenqiao learned that Zhao Xiongzhao had outstanding talents, he has also sponsored this son privately.

As soon as Yinzuo found out the news about Zhao Xiongzhao from Zhao Fengzhao, he did not delay and immediately interrogated Zhao Shenqiao. After Zhao Shenqiao was brought here, Yinzuo stared at Zhao Shenqiao with a smile for a while before he asked slowly: "Mr. Zhao Xiongzhao, who is Zhao Xiongzhao?"

"I, I, I... the criminal doesn't know who the prince is talking about?" Zhao Shenqiao insisted with a pale face.

"I don't know?" Yinzuo smiled and said, "Oh? Lord Zhao is really forgetful. Well, he actually forgot his own son. Well, I can remember it anyway. Well, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the following are the best. It is the crime of slandering the court officials. Lord Zhao has been an official for so many years, so he would not even forget this? Hey, Lord Zhao should understand the crime of traitoring the family and extermination of the clan. It seems that I should have someone add a sea captain document. Lord Zhao, are you right?"

"Prince, you can't..." Zhao Shenqiao screamed with a dismal expression.

Yinzuo waved his hand and interrupted Zhao Shenqiao and said, "Yes, why can't you? Lord Zhao thinks that I don't have this ability?"

"Prince, you..." Zhao Shenqiao's face suddenly turned bloody, gritted his teeth with hatred, and refused to speak again.

"Ah, let me think about it, well, the person who asked you to come forward to frame my subordinates in the king, in addition to threatening your despicable son, must have made many promises for your eldest son? Well, it is also possible that he would also agree to cultivate Zhao Xiongzhao, right? Tsk tsk, Lord Zhao is ashamed of his eldest son, and he has to try to give some compensation. This is a matter of course. However, it is a pity that no matter who that person is, he cannot protect himself. Do you still expect him to help you protect your son?" Yinzuo said slowly. Zhao Shenqiao knelt on the ground, turned his head and said nothing, but his body trembled without competing.

Don't say anything? Hey, it's okay, let's add some materials to you, and see if you say you don't say anything. Yinzuo sneered and continued, "Mr. Zhao, you shouldn't forget where you are at the hour of You on May 12th, right?"

"A moment of You? The offender was meeting guests at home at that time. Yan Wen, the censor of Jiangnan Road, accompanied him to testify for the offender." Zhao Shenqiao was relieved when he heard about this and answered simply.

"Yes, Lord Zhao finally told the truth, very good, then, where are you there in the second hour of Xu? Say!" Yinzuo suddenly raised his tone, and a sudden shout made Zhao Shenqiao tremble all over.

"I..." Zhao Shenqiao's mouth was trembling and couldn't speak.

"At the second hour of Xu, you pretended to say goodbye to Yan Wen, but in fact, after sending someone, you didn't go back to the house, and went directly to the private room of the "C3" on the third floor of Wangyue Building. I saw a mysterious guest. I was right? Who is this mysterious guest? Lord Zhao wouldn't say he didn't know, right?" Yinzuo's series of storm-like words came out one after another, hitting Zhao Shenqiao's spiritual defense line with holes. Zhao Shenqiao could no longer hold on, collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. After a while, he said dejectedly: "Since the prince already knows, why do you still have to ask the offender?"

"Hmph, I know whether it is my business. It is your business if you tell the truth or not. Let me tell you, that person can no longer help you. If you don't tell the truth, I have to punish you." Yinzuo said calmly.

"Oh, it's a little bit. Since the criminals became a Jinshi in the ninth year of Kangxi, every act has been based on serving the court. Even if the case of "Nanshan Ji" was released, it was purely public opinion. However, at the end, it was still selfish and made a big mistake. It was too late to regret it, and it was too late to regret it!" Zhao Shenqiao muttered in tears and said slowly: "Yes, on May 12, the criminals went to see someone, and that man was the Thirteenth Master. The Thirteenth Master took out evidence to coerce the criminals, and the criminals had to obey. Besides, the Thirteenth Master also promised to be able to follow Cheng. The two masters Qian found the banned books in the room. The criminals were confused for a moment and caused a big disaster. Alas."

Hey, you old guy, you still hesitate and don’t tell the truth at this moment. Can the 13th prince, a idle prince without a title, make you obedient like the Zuodu Censor? It’s fucking indifferent! Yinzuo snorted coldly and said, “What Lord Zhao said is true, but it seems that something has been missed, right? Should I remind Lord Zhao with the Hai Captain’s Document?”

"No, no." Zhao Shenqiao trembled and said, "The prince wants to know something else, and the offender said it. I hope the prince will fulfill one and two."

"Hey, what kind of virtue does Thirteenth Master have to tell you, Lord Zhao? He should have something to rely on. Who is the other person?" Yinzuo chuckled.

"Yes..." Zhao Shenqiao was there for a long time but didn't say who it was. He looked at the gang of prince's palace captains in the execution hall, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped. Seeing Yinzuo frowned, waved his hand, and let everyone retreat, and then said coldly: "Now you can say it."

"Okay, you can say that the offender can be said, but please ask the prince to accept the offender, otherwise the offender will not say that even if he dies." Zhao Shenqiao said gritted his teeth.

Poor parents in the world, this old man Zhao still can't forget to keep his son until his death. Alas, the old man Zhao is still honest as an official, and it's many times better than the bastard slaves of the eighth son. It's a pity that if it weren't for this incident, we wouldn't have touched you. Yinzuo naturally understood what Zhao Shenqiao wanted. Yinzuo has always been afraid of being implicated. It's really too cruel to commit crimes and killing the whole family. In Yinzuo's opinion, it was unnecessary at all, but Yinzuo was not willing to do anything even if he was dissatisfied with such bad rules. After all, he was not the emperor at this moment, and it was impossible for Yinzuo to commit less unnecessary killings.

"I will try my best to protect Zhao Xiongzhao. As for whether it can succeed, I cannot guarantee it." Yinzuo said with a calm expression.

Yinzuo has always made promises and rarely agreed to the officials' requests. However, as long as Yinzuo agrees, he will naturally do his best. This is a well-known fact in the officialdom of the capital. When Zhao Shenqiao heard Yinzuo's words, he immediately showed a hint of joy on his face. He kowtowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your help. Even if you commit an official, you will die. I am grateful to the prince for his great kindness..."

"Okay, there is no need to say much about these nonsense. This is just a condition of exchange. Let's say, who is the person behind Lao Thirteen?" Yinzuo waved impatiently and interrupted Zhao Shenqiao's unnutritional gratitude words and said bluntly.

"Prince, there was another person next to him when the criminal met with the Thirteenth Master that day." Zhao Shenqiao paused and said, "That person is Ku Ada, the doctor of Fangsi, the Ministry of War."

Kuada? Damn, isn't this guy the servant of the Eleventh? His grandmother, the case was indeed Lao Thirteenth, and Lao Thirteenth joined forces! Yinzuo's heart started to get angry. He thought of Lao Thirteen's series of strange behaviors, and he was even more angry. He wanted to rush to the Eleventh Mansion immediately and arrest Lao Thirteen and beat him up. However, Yinzuo was not a very impulsive young man. Although he was angry, his face was still calm. He just asked lightly: "Oh? What did Kuada say? Could it be that he made a promise on behalf of the Eleventh Master? With Kuada's status and status, he could represent the Eleventh Master?"

Zhao Shenqiao glanced at Yinzuo, shook his head and said, "Master Ku just showed the token of the 14th Master's palace and said nothing."

Well, the fourteenth brothers had just made great military achievements and skipped the first six. The seventh princes were the first to be the king. They were quite good at being scared. Hey, it was hard to say whether this matter was the fourteenth brother's intention. However, Kuada could not let him die. Yinzuo was moved quickly and said loudly: "Come on, take Zhao Shenqiao back to prison and take strict supervision." The lieutenant of the royal palace guarding at the door immediately rushed in and took Zhao Shenqiao out. Yinzuo walked a few steps in the punishment hall, suddenly stood up, and looked at Qingsong and said: "Qingsong, bring my token and lead some people to invite Kuada, the doctor of the Ministry of War, to me. Remember, except for Kuada who wants to live, no matter who dares to stop him, you will be killed! Go quickly!"

The rank of Fangsi is not very important, but only the fifth rank, but Yinzuo has to move officials above the fifth rank without asking for an order. Qingsong followed Yinzuo for a long time and still knew about the affairs in the officialdom. When Yinzuo gave such an order, he was stunned for a moment, looking at Yinzuo with confusion on his face, and did not set off immediately. Yinzuo naturally understood Qingsong's concerns, but the most important thing at the moment was to grab the witness Kuada into his palm, but he didn't care much about other things. Yinzuo glared and said, "Don't go quickly, I will take care of everything." Qingsong responded and rushed out of the imperial court...
