This shadow guard is kinda nice

The three-day period has passed, Ning Dao felt a little uneasy, most of the people in the prison were released, only Zhao Kai and the housekeeper of the Zhao family were left.

To be honest, when he saw Zhao Kai, he was very shocked. He didn't understand what kind of plan this Zhao Kai was planning to get himself into prison.

During the interrogation, he tried his best to release water, after all his wife and Zhiyuan were in his hands, but he didn't dare to go too far, the people of King Xuan were sitting next to him.

Just when he was about to release Zhao Kai without charge, the man sitting next to him who had never spoken all of a sudden spoke, and he watched Zhao Kai being detained again.

Later, when Steward Zhao was interrogated, Ning Dao was uncharacteristically silent, and it was the man next to him who was interrogating him. Just a quarter of an hour later, Steward Zhao was put in prison again.

Afterwards, the rest of the people were all acquitted, and Ning Dao understood that the death of the young master of the Zhao family probably had something to do with Zhao Kai, and the key point was that King Xuan was aware of it.

If the crime is confirmed, he can't imagine what will happen to Zhao Jin, he is just this precious son.

He suddenly remembered those people who made trouble in front of his mansion before, his people and the imperial army brought by King Xuan were following that group that day, his side and the past were all beggars living in slums, There is no pursuit of value, and they are all people who take silver taels and do things, and they can't ask anything.

He still remembered that at that time there was a person who jumped up and down to take the lead, but it was a pity that he was not connected with Zhao Kai's matter at that time, otherwise he would definitely send his own people to arrest that person, so as not to leave any clues for King Xuan.

Looking at it now, that person should have been found by the Forbidden Army, and the method of the Forbidden Army's group, even if you think about it, that person can't stand it, and I guess it's all done.

And this person was probably found by Zhao Kai's people, inciting the people, putting pressure on King Xuan, and trying to ruin the reputation that King Xuan had accumulated in Pingyao.

If these are sent back to the capital...

Ning Dao didn't dare to think about it anymore, this way, it would roughly make sense, or else the man who interrogated him for a few days suddenly opened his mouth to target Zhao Kai, obviously because he had some evidence in his hand of.

Then Zhao Kai will suffer severely.

Ning Dao had a headache, he actually didn't care much about whether Zhao Kai would suffer or not, but his wife and Zhiyuan, he couldn't help worrying.

Suddenly, he regretted a little, he shouldn't have sent them away that day, although there was a risk of being infected by staying here, it was better than being taken away by Zhao Kai's people.

After returning to the mansion, he reported the result of the interrogation to Xiao Yichen in detail, Xiao Yichen listened and let him go out without saying anything.

After bowing his body and exiting, he went to the study room, where he stayed for most of the day, during which he did nothing, just sat there, thinking about what to do next, but thinking about it, everything became Madam and Zhiyuan.

His mind is full of the usual scenes where Mrs. Li smiled softly with him, and Zhiyuan told him this and that.

As he thought about it, the more regretful he felt.

But where in this world can you take regret medicine?

The choice he made himself had to bear the corresponding consequences.

Since he was promoted by Zhao Jin when he was young, he has set foot on this thief ship, and has been driven by Zhao Jin since then. Now he has no way to get off the thief ship, so he can only bite the bullet and continue.

He was still thinking quietly, when the butler opened the door and came in, he looked up, feeling that there was nothing good going on.

as predicted.

The butler brought a note according to Zhao Jin sent from Jinling.

To him, that note was no different from a hot potato.

He opened it with mixed feelings.

After a while, he burned the little note with a blank expression.

Zhao Jin asked him to think of a way to rescue Zhao Kai, how would he do it?Under King Xuan's eyelids, if Zhao Kai, who almost committed a capital crime, was fished out, it would be better to let him replace Zhao Kai directly.

Ning Dao was still worrying, while Zhao Jin and Wei Jun met at Mingyangju.

"Lord Zhao, you are being polite. Wei is just passing on a message for you. It depends on His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Jin smiled, and he filled the teacups of the two of them with tea, and the faint fragrance of tea permeated the room.

"It is also thanks to you, Mr. Wei, who spoke for Zhao in front of the prime minister."

Although he said that Wei Jun was older, and both of them worked for His Highness the Crown Prince, since Wei Jun pushed King Xuan out of the court, Wei Jun's weight in the hearts of the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister was beyond his comparability.

But this time when he went to Pingyao, the crown prince asked him to send someone to Pingyao, and tried his best to make things difficult for King Xuan. After something happened, he couldn't go directly to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and begged him to save his son.

It can only come from the side, so in the end he can only achieve his goal through the relatively easy-going Wei Jun.

Wei Jun laughed it off, if it wasn't for the fact that when Zhao came in to look for him, he offered him so much money that he couldn't refuse, he wouldn't really want to take this troubled water.

In the end, after much deliberation, it's just a message, and it's not him who really makes the decision, so why not do it?

The eyes of the two met in the air.

Wei Jun's face showed embarrassment, he hesitated, and after a while, he said: "Master Zhao, Wei has something to say, I don't know whether to ask it or not."

Zhao Jin nodded, "Master Wei, please speak."

"Master Zhao, why did you send your son to Pingyao at this juncture?"

Before Zhao Jin could reply, Wei Jun hurriedly said, "Lord Zhao, don't think too much, Wei is just asking casually. The situation in Pingyao is critical now, and Master Zhao still let your son go. It's a bit... admirable."

Zhao Jin's expression did not change. After a long time in the officialdom, he had already practiced the ability to hide his emotions and anger.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he had something to hide.

When Wei Jun saw this, he smiled apologetically, "It's Wei who is being rude, Mr. Zhao, don't take it to heart."

Zhao Jin lowered his head slightly and sighed heavily.

"I'm ashamed to say..."

Wei Jun looked at him without speaking, waiting for Zhao Jin to continue.

"Half a month ago, the Zhao family in Pingyao sent a letter saying that I hope I can bring them to Jinling. Even if it is not Jinling, as long as they leave Pingyao, the disease in Pingyao is quite contagious. They are afraid..."

"I was also confused for a while. I couldn't help them begging several times, so I agreed. I thought it would be fine to send someone to bring them out. Later, I was afraid that the Pingyao checkpoint would not let people go. After hearing about it, Gouzi was going to Pingyao Take them out, and you can't stop them."

Wei Jun sneered in his heart, it's a pity that he doesn't want to sing with this expression, and few of the words he said were true, no matter what he thought in his heart, his face was still calm, and nothing could be seen.

"Young man wants to win, so I let him go in the end."

Zhao Jin lowered his tone, "Who knows, it became like that later..."

Wei Jun was silent for a long while before he opened his mouth and said, "Sorry..."

Zhao Jin shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to talk any more.

Seeing that he didn't want to mention this matter again, Wei Jun thought about it, and then he said that when he entered the door just now, the storyteller on the first floor was talking about King Xuan's favorite.

His tone was relaxed, with a smile on his face, "Master Zhao, have you heard? King Xuan's sweetheart is a man."

When Zhao Jin heard this, he nodded, and his sad expression was no longer there.There are folk rumors that King Xuan has a favorite, and he is desperate for him, but he doesn't know that King Xuan's favorite is a man. Even in the court, only a few people know about it.

"I don't know what King Xuan thought, but he suddenly fell in love with a man."

Not only Wei Jun didn't understand, Zhao Jin also didn't understand why King Xuan fell in love with a man. Although he was not liked by His Majesty, there was no need to do things that were not good for his reputation. Now it has not spread, Your Majesty In the court, he kept silent about this matter, presumably he turned a blind eye and let him go.

Because he won't get it, he doesn't care.

Wei Jun smiled as if it had nothing to do with him. The emperor's behavior showed which side his heart was leaning towards.

The two looked at each other, seeing the same thing in each other's eyes.

Their choice was right. On the side of His Highness the Crown Prince, only the Crown Prince was the most likely person to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
