Chapter 583 Conditions
Zhao Ruyu's excited eyes were bloodshot. Looking at Zhao Yu standing in front of him, his whole body seemed to be trembling. For so many years, he had been looking forward to this moment.
Countless days and nights, countless dreams and imaginations, he looked forward to this moment, hoping that Zhao Yu would be as embarrassed as a dog in public, in pain, and be stepped on by himself in front of the world.
Facing Zhao Ruyu's blood-cold and angry eyes, Zhao Yu's gaze was a little guilty and dodged. The things that happened back then were indeed wrong with him, but so many years have passed, why can't Zhao Ruyu let go of his grudges? Everyone is a royal family. Do you really want to tear apart for a woman and fight to the death?
At this time, Zhao Yu was facing the tense scene, and he was no longer as energetic as marrying Zhong Qing and being favored by Zhao Gou. He was becoming more and more timid. He looked at Han Tuozhou and swept over Zhao Ruyu, and saw Zhong Qing who was protected in the middle, but he didn't see Ye Qing. This made him feel even more nervous and guilty at this moment.
Han Tuozhou glanced at Zhao Ruyu, who looked angry and looked increasingly ferocious, sighed slightly in his heart, but on the surface he continued to say calmly: "If Huang Du, the Jiankang Transfer Author, was bribed by us, wouldn't he be foolish to confess himself? However, Dali Temple has never been judged for the case over the years? Moreover, when it comes to slandering, I am afraid that no one can leave Dali Temple, right? Even Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple was framed by you? If it weren't for the lord, the Supreme Emperor was as wise as a torch, and the wise and wise martial arts to clear Ye Qing's grievances, I am afraid that Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple would be framed by you and you would be framed by you. So even you are your own people, you will be framed by you. How can the legal principles of Dali Temple be fair in the interview? It's a huge joke."
Han Tuozhou's simple words instantly threw the justice of Dali Temple aside and stepped on it, causing the majesty of Dali Temple to disappear instantly, without any justice.
Moreover, Han Tuozhou's words took care of Ye Qing. Although he had never seen Ye Qing, he believed that such a show of kindness could not stop Ye Qing from fully participating in this matter, if Ye Qing really wanted to stop him and Zhao Ruyu in person, he would probably have to take into account his morality and the opinions of the people of the world?
After all, if he doesn't hit the smiley person, he shows kindness to him like this. If he still insists on his own, how can he gain a foothold in the Lin'an court in the future? How can those who are willing to speak for him and those who support him believe that he will be in love?
He believed that since he was an official, no one would want to be an isolated and helpless person in the court. Therefore, as long as he had the opportunity to restrain him and had not shown up, he did not know whether he would show up tonight, Han Tuozhou would never miss the opportunity.
Lu Zujian was so choked by Han Tuozhou's words that he didn't know how to respond. After all, what they were talking about was the facts. Ye Qing and them did have such a grudge. At that time, they were still thinking of killing Ye Qing, but who could have expected that Ye Qing not only turned over in a short time, but now the feng shui has changed, and it is their turn to become the target of public criticism.
He simply ignored Han Tuozhou's doubts about the prestige of Dali Temple and grasped Huang Du's case, saying: "The government affairs of the Transportation Commission have close contacts with the Maritime Bureau. If Lord Han said this, wouldn't the Maritime Bureau also participate in the private sale of Tongjin? Then, Lord Han, the comforting commissioner, Lord Yang, directly arrested the people of the Maritime Bureau? What's more, Zhong Ping is just a small recruiter Changping. If he wants to sell private sale of gold, then he must agree? As a large army stationed in Jiankang, did the Nankang Army not..."
"Our Nankang Army is the main force of the anti-Jin Jin. It is too late to kill the Jin thieves. How could they join in with them and be in a mess? Lord Lu, as the minister of Dali Temple, what you say is like pouring out water. If there is no evidence, you just speculate casually, or want to frame Wang like accusing Ye Shaoqing, Wang said it clearly. Wang is not as easy to talk to as Ye Shaoqing. If you can't find out the evidence, you can't just apologize." Wang Gongwu frowned and angrily.
Although this guy is big and thick, he doesn't expect that he is also a very thoughtful person. He started to learn and use it just by relying on what Han Tuozhou said just now. The implication is that Lu Zujian proves that he is well-known, but he just used the same trick of slandering Ye Qing.
Lu Zujian couldn't help but snorted. The attack on Ye Qing now seems to have become a weapon for people to deal with him and the King of Xin tonight, and naturally they are the weakness of their Dali Temple.
"But no matter what, even if Huang Du sells money privately, he should have found out after Dali Temple can arrest people. Now that you are like this, do you have enough real evidence? It's not just based on his family's words, right?" Lu Zujian said as he tried his best.
He gave Zhao Yu several winks, but at this moment, the King of Xin Zhao Yu, faced Zhao Ruyu's even more ferocious face, and there was no thought in their verbal confrontation. Who would win and who would lose.
"What if I say it's true? Huang Du does have the fact that he sells money privately. Shi can testify about this matter." Shi Miyuan did not bring Li Heng, but instead brought Song Qian, the Imperial City Chief General, and dozens of Imperial City Secretary, to everyone.
With Shi Miyuan's joining, the entire Zhong Mansion courtyard suddenly became like a trivial force, which made everyone present, including Zhong Kang, stunned.
At this time, Zhong Kang gradually recovered from his spirit. Looking at the current situation and looking at the King of Xin who had never spoken, Zhong Kang finally realized that the important officials in the court who suddenly rushed into his mansion tonight were completely targeting him.
His eyes couldn't help but look at Yang, who was worried and scared, and looked at Zhong Qing, who was protected in front of him. He began to feel a little regretful for a moment. If he listened to Qing'er, he would have not held a big banquet, but left Jiankang secretly. He would come back again and see what they should do.
"Shi Miyuan, do you take it seriously..." King Xin was originally happy when he heard Shi Miyuan's words, but when Shi Miyuan finished speaking, King Xin's heart immediately continued to sink. Shi Miyuan was going to take advantage of the situation.
"King Xin, although I respect you very much,... as a court official, you should not forget the ban on the court because of your own personal gain. The reason why the officials appeared in Jiankang was that the Maritime Bureau provided the officials with evidence that Huang Du was forced to sell money for private sale. Among them... there are actually many letters from Xin Wang. Of course, there are also shadows of the parents of Xin Wang's palace. After all, if you want to support such a large family, you will need a lot of money. The officials understand the helplessness of the Zhong family, but... the laws of the court cannot be ignored." Shi Miyuan helped Zhao Ruyu straightforwardly.
However, Han Tuozhou frowned when he listened to Shi Miyuan's words now, and could not guess what Shi Miyuan sold in this gourd, but he was certain that he was just sure of, that is, the word "Huang Du was forced" mentioned by Shi Miyuan just now, which is the condition for trading with him.
He looked at Shi Miyuan meaningfully, and Shi Miyuan nodded slightly to Han Tuozhou who was looking at him. All transactions were completed under the tacit look of the two.
Shi Miyuan helped them overthrow King Zhao Ju, and the conditions afterwards were that they would definitely "return Huang Du to the original owner".
I have to admire Shi Miyuan's keenness. At this time, he finally saw clearly that the loss of power by King Xin Zhao Yu was already irreversible. If he still stood with King Xin, then he would probably not be involved by himself. It is very likely that even all parties of the Shi family would be more or less affected in this matter.
So at this moment, Shi Miyuan had to choose an attitude, and Shi Miyuan was also very wise, choosing the so-called court and the laws of the Song Dynasty.
Lu Zujian was very anxious. At this time, King Xin, who had been red in his eyes, was like a wild beast. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he didn't think about how to help the Zhong family overcome difficulties. Instead, he was thinking about how to prevent Zhao Ruyu from letting his face be ruined in front of the world.
Turning around and leaving, panic as if a dog is lost, it is obviously impossible. In that case, the entire world will never like you, but will always be unable to treat you, and you will be even more disappointed with yourself.
Looking at King Xin who kept winking and asking him to find a way, Lu Zujian glanced at the entire yard with some anxiety. If it was not unexpected, it would be Zhao Ruyu and the others who wanted to arrest people. In this way, King Xin lost power, his position as the Minister of Dali Temple could be handed over to others.
"Since Lord Shi and Lord Han all think that Zhong Ping is suspected of selling money privately, Dali Temple is willing to try the case with Jiankang Pacifier, the magistrate and others. Come and take Zhong Ping away." In a hurry, Lu Zujian wanted to choose Princess Xin and others out, and use Zhong Ping alone to protect the entire Zhong family. In this way, at least the losses of King Xin could be smaller.
"Mr. Lü, wouldn't it be? What I said just now was not that Zhong Ping was selling money alone, but that Zhong Mansion, including Princess Xin and King Xin. Dali Temple participated in the trial, so it was natural that there was nothing wrong with it, but it should be taken down if you wanted to take the people. The person, everyone in the Zhong Mansion, took them away, the servants, the maids were imprisoned on the spot, and no one could resist." Zhao Ruyu looked at Zhao Yu's somewhat asking for help, and a look of begging for mercy. The smile on his face became even more ferocious. He turned around and turned around and looked at the people in the main hall. With a wave of his fat hand, he was about to copy the Zhong Mansion.
As Zhao Ruyu's words fell, a roar rang out in everyone's minds. With a blank space, only a thought flashed through. The Zhong Mansion, which was just lively and festive, was about to be destroyed in a blink of an eye.
The imperial guards looked at Zhao Yu who was stunned, then looked at Lu Zujian who closed his lips tightly, his face turned pale but could not speak. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should stop Nan Kangjun from arresting people.
Hong Gongwu looked at Zhao Ruyu's eyes and immediately led someone to the entrance of the main hall to walk towards Zhong Qing who was blocking everyone.
As Hong Gongwu and several soldiers took big steps towards Zhong Qing, whether it was King Xin, Zhao Ruyu, or Han Tuozhou, Shi Miyuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and his eyes were fixed on Zhong Qing and others.
They knew very well that the success or failure tonight would be a one-off. If Zhong Qing can be successfully defeated, then everyone in the main hall behind them would be no problem.
But they were also worried. What the hell is Ye Qing, who has not shown up for a long time?
Princess Xin was escorted to Jiankang by Ye Qing, but he did not say whether he would always protect Jiankang. But now, Princess Xin is surrounded by a circle of banned soldiers from the Imperial City Department. Can Hong Gongwu successfully capture Princess Xin?
Just as everyone focused their eyes on Zhong Qing, watching Hong Gongwu who was about to walk to the imperial city ban soldiers and was about to capture Zhong Qing, the silent courtyard could only hear the short and rapid sound of breaking through the air.
With a bang, Hong Gongwu, who was stepping forward, suddenly stood still, looking at the imperial city monarchy who slowly walked out from next to Zhong Qing with a crossbow, then looked at his feet, and penetrated straight into the ground, buzzing and trembling tail.
"Except for the Princess Xin, the others... the Imperial City Department ignored it." Zhao Qier's triangular eyes glanced at everyone, and then slowly spoke.
"Rareless! When will the Imperial City Department..."
"Everyone is very clear about the responsibilities of the Imperial City Department. He is confident that the princess will start from Lin'an and will be protected by the Imperial City Department. As for why, all the lords and Commander Ye know each other. You can ask Commander Ye at that time. The last general is just doing his orders." Zhao Qier glanced at Zhao Ruyu and said in a deep voice.
Whether it was Zhao Ruyu or Han Tuozhou, they were not unfamiliar with Zhao Qi'er. At that time, in Lanzhou, Xia Kingdom, there were only a hundred people in front of Ye Qing. There were only these people who were shaking under their noses all day long. It was hard for Han Tuozhou and Zhao Ruyu to be unfamiliar with him.
And they were impressed by them, of course, only Zhao Qier and others knew that these people were completely obedient by Ye Qing's orders, and they also knew that these people came from the Beiwei Army, who could fight.
They are not afraid of war, but if they can defeat Zhong Kang and his wife, Zhong Ping and Zhong Qing without any conflict, it will be better.
Looking at Zhao Qier's gloomy face, even Han Tuozhou had no idea. After looking at Zhao Ruyu who was shocked and angry, Han Tuozhou stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "No one is unclear about the responsibilities of the Imperial City Department. There has never been anyone to stop him, nor dare anyone to stop him. But... Where is Ye Qing? Tonight's incident is extraordinary, and it is related to the reputation of the King of Xin, the Princess Xin, and even the century-old foundation and prestige of the Zhong family in Jiankang. Han recognized it.
It is necessary to be cautious about this matter. Of course, it is not bad for you to take the person away, but if it is King Xin and Princess Xin did not participate in the Zhong Ping case and were not aware of it, your Imperial City Department will take Princess Xin and others away tonight, but will not help them, but will harm them and trap them in the private sale of Tongjin. You must think clearly." Han Tuozhou tightly grabbed Hong Gongwu's raised palm and signaled Nan Kangjun to retreat and not to force the Imperial City Department.
"Thank you, Lord Han, for your reminder." Zhao Qier held a crossbow in one hand and held the hilt of the Yanling knife on his waist in the other hand. He looked at the Nan Kangjun on both sides. After he had indeed retreated a little, he continued: "But Lord Han, what you just said is the affairs of you big men. The General of the Imperial City is just an imperial city prison guard, and he didn't even get involved. Therefore... The General of the General could only follow the instructions of Commander Ye and would take the person away no matter what. As for whether it would be harmful to Princess Xin's reputation after taking it away, the Imperial City Department would not care."
"You..." Zhao Ruyu looked at Zhao Qier, not knowing what to say for a moment.
This is a fact that the Imperial City Department cannot afford to offend him, but Ye Qing is so arrogant that he is completely clear that he is against him.
He finally understood why Ye Qing never showed up until now. Now it seems that he had long expected what would happen. The reason why he didn't show up and didn't meet him was because he was afraid that he would break up with him!
Han Tuozhou looked at Zhao Qi'er, whose face was gloomy all the time, and didn't know what he thought of. After shook his head slightly, he sighed and said, "Zhao Qi'er, can you let the commander say something? If he is not in Jiankang or is not nearby, can you make the decision? Have you become the master of the Imperial City Department?"
"I can't make the decision, and Lord Han, you don't have to talk to me. I know that I don't have the qualifications. But the Human Imperial City Department must take it away." Zhao Qier didn't give Han Tuozhou the opportunity to negotiate terms with him, but he also knew that it would be difficult to get up to the sky if he wanted to retreat from Zhong's mansion and face the heavy siege.
"You can also see now that if you want to take it away, it will be difficult, and basically it is impossible. You are only a dozen people, and there are Nankang Army, the Imperial Guard, and even the banned soldiers of your Imperial City Division. If you don't take a step back, you will not be able to fulfill Ye Qing's order. Let's do this, let me talk about the conditions first, what do you think about?" Han Tuozhou glanced at Zhao Ruyu, and Zhao Ruyu immediately understood it.
As Zhao Ruyu waved one of his hands, at some point, behind Zhao Hu, who was originally under the protection of the imperial guards, was actually approached by several soldiers from the Nankang Army. Before King Xin could react, before the words "King Xin, be careful" were completely expressed, a bright and sharp waist knife was placed on Zhao Hu's neck.
"Zhao Ruyu, what do you want to do? Are you crazy? Hong Gongwu, you dare to order someone to kidnap King Xin!" With a loud bang, the weapons in the imperial guards instantly aimed at the soldiers behind King Xin.
"Whoever dares to move, I will kill him if I move again! Lu Zujian, let your people retreat!" Zhao Ruyu twisted his fat body, ran to Zhao Yu in three steps, snatched a knife and placed it on Zhao Yu's shoulder again.
"Duke Yiguo cannot." Lu Zujian hurriedly reached out to stop the imperial guards rushing forward and shouted.
As the imperial guards stopped, the Nankang army, who had instantly surrounded, also stopped rushing over. Two groups of people instantly formed a clear situation in the heart of the huge courtyard of Zhong Mansion.
Zhong Kang and his wife in the main hall were completely stunned at this time. They had originally relied on the last bit of extravagance to break the deadlock in their hearts. As Zhao Ruyu put his waist knife on King Xin's neck, they were immediately wiped out.
Zhao Qier originally wanted to take Princess Xin away in the chaos just now, but Han Tuozhou was obviously prepared for a long time. His eyes that were no less than Zhao Qier's gloomy triangular eyes were staring at him. Behind Han Tuozhou, dozens of soldiers from the Nankang Army were eyeing him.
As some chairs intermittently sounded in the chaotic courtyard in the blink of an eye and the sound of the table falling to the ground, Han Tuozhou's deep eyes were filled with a sneer, and looked around the Zhong Mansion, and then looked at the King of Xin who was held by Zhao Ruyu on his neck with a knife, and turned around and looked at Zhao Qier again.
"The conditions are very simple, you and I will take a step back." Han Tuozhou looked at Zhao Qi'er, but his voice was much louder, as if he was not for Zhao Qi'er, but for the dark night sky above his head: "King Xin, you can take away Princess Xin, and Zhong Kang and his wife and Zhong Ping, we will take away. Tonight, most of the people in Jiankang City are looking at the Zhong family. You and I have to give you some face in the officialdom of Jiangdong. It is true that you and I can't deny this matter. Even if you make trouble in Lin'an, this is an indisputable fact. I don't care what your purpose is, but if you and Princess Xin are handed over to you, you will be enough for you to report to the case of Jiankang Mansion. Naturally, they can continue to be tried, and you can continue to participate in Dali Temple. As for how to judge this matter, it seems that it is a matter of Datian to listen sooner or later, and the emperor will ask the emperor to make a judgment. How?"
Zhao Qier closed his lips tightly, and Zhao Ruyu looked at Han Tuozhou with a knife. King Xin was frightened to his face, and was deeply afraid that Zhao Ruyu would kill him in anger and exchange his life for his life.
Lu Zujian was worried and nervously blocked the imperial guards. Even Zhong Qing, who was guarded by Zhao Qier and others, and in the main hall behind him, there were guests from all over the courtyard who were squeezed in corners and dared not speak, none of them dared to speak, and their expressions were full of nervousness and fear.
Only Shi Miyuan, after Han Tuozhou finished speaking, unconsciously began to search the Zhong Mansion. Others might not understand, but he knew very well. Han Tuozhou's words were not for Zhao Qier, but for Ye Qing, who had not yet shown up.
Whether it was Shi Miyuan or Han Tuozhou, they both believed that Ye Qing must be nearby, and even quietly watching all this in the yard in the dark.
However, like Han Tuozhou, he had not yet fully understood why Ye Qing wanted to wade into this muddy water with determination?
Even though he was ordered to protect Princess Xin from Lin'an, under the current situation, whether it was Princess Xin or Princess Xin, who discovered the accident, in front of so many people's testimony, Ye Qing could have pushed all these things to Zhao Ruyu, Han Tuozhou, or even himself.
And for him, Ye Qing, this is definitely a benefit but no harm.
Just imagine, if something happened to King Xin, Princess Xin and others tonight, and Shi Miyuan, Han Tuozhou, and Zhao Ruyu would definitely not be able to escape. After returning to Lin'an, the three of them would be allowed to be scolded in front of Zhao Gou like Ye Qing. They would definitely be punished by the Supreme Emperor.
For him, Ye Qing, this is a good opportunity to gain a foothold in the court, and it is also a good opportunity for his Imperial City Office to continue to expand and gain Zhao Gou's trust in the process, but why did Ye Qing give up in vain?
