Chapter 357: Black Cauldron

Zhao Mo first sent Ah Shou to his father Zhao Shuo's mansion to deliver some fresh fruit snacks, which was actually a reason. After Ah Shou returned to the county king's mansion, two or three hours passed, and Zhao Mo took someone to Zhao Shuo's mansion in person.

As soon as he entered the door, he ordered his subordinates to arrest the Beirong spy and take care of him separately, and arrested several male and female servants who had close contacts with Su Ri, regardless of whether they were really suspicious or not, and escorted them to the main courtyard.

When Zhao Shuo heard the news, he was a little unhappy when he saw this scene: "Mo'er, what are you doing? Even if the people in my house offend you, you don't need to let your people do it themselves, right? Tell your father, and your father will make the decision for you." ”

Zhao Mo knew that his father only had this self-esteem left now, so he didn't argue with him, and pointed directly at the Beirong spy and said: "This mother-in-law is very disagreeable, does my father know what she says to outsiders? Obviously, she is a waiter in the outer courtyard, but she tells people all day long what Aunt Lan looks like, what she likes to eat and drink, what her figure is, and what marks she has on her body, which is also something that she can talk about as a rough mother-in-law? Not to mention talking nonsense with idle men outside! If the father thinks that his son takes her down, it is very unreasonable, and the son has nothing to say." ”

"What did you say?!" Zhao Shuo was furious, "Is this true?!" he looked at the woman viciously. The latter was taken aback, shrunk his neck, and immediately cried out: "Little wronged!

Zhao Mo snorted coldly: "Do you still dare to quibble? Ah Shou heard you say this with his own ears, just outside the back door! If he hadn't come to deliver something to my father on my order, and when he left, he would have gone around the back door to visit his old friend, and he wouldn't have happened to bump into you talking nonsense with outsiders! I have already ordered someone to take down that idle man, and even the witnesses have been found, you want to continue to coax the world? Dreaming!"

The woman's eyes shrank suddenly, she knew that she didn't say anything about Lan Xue's gossip to anyone today, because she had already finished talking about it yesterday and the day before yesterday, the so-called idle man sent by the Liao Palace, since he got the answer, it was impossible to come over again today, but Zhao Mo said that his subordinates had witnessed her talking to the idle man, and they were obviously lying......! How could she justify that she hadn't? Because she had disappeared from people for a while in order to meet her own people. In order to keep it secret, she deliberately concealed it from everyone in the prince's mansion, which also meant that no one could testify for her. What can I do? She can't tell the truth at all, is it true that she has to carry this black cauldron?!

Though...... This was actually her pot in the first place.

But what scared her even more was yet to come.

Zhao Mo's Ah Shou found two mothers-in-law in the Shizi's mansion, and they were all transferred to the back door to guard not long ago. They could confirm that the mother-in-law in the front yard had indeed been talking to a man at the back door a few days ago, and they could vaguely hear her gossip about Aunt Lan, as if she liked to eat something or something. Aunt Lan has lost her position in the mansion, and even the little young master she gave birth to has fallen out of favor, where will anyone complain for her? The two mothers-in-law naturally pretended not to hear anything. If it weren't for Zhao Mo's people to ask, they would know that Zhao Mo's current position of power is different from the past, and they wouldn't tell the truth honestly.

The testimony of the two mothers-in-law seemed to prove that Zhao Mo's words were true. Zhao Shuo didn't care about checking what the mother-in-law in the front yard had said to the idler, he only felt that if there was one that could be matched, it would prove that the others could also be matched, and this mother-in-law had indeed committed a crime that deserved to be dead!

He kicked at the mother-in-law in the front yard, and was about to call someone to bring a whip, but he heard his son Zhao Mo adding fuel and vinegar to the side: "Those few people who have been friends with her for a long time seem to be gossiping about Aunt Lan." Although Aunt Lan is indeed at fault, how can the people in her father's backyard let these subordinates talk nonsense? This is not what our clan should do. How do the subordinates in my father's house regulate?How can they not even understand the rules?!"

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but feel depressed. The people in his house haven't changed much for several years, but didn't they find out that Lan Xue might be a female spy in Beirong some time ago? The people around her are not innocent, and they can't find any useful evidence when they check it around, so they have to get rid of all the people who have been waiting for her for insurance. I didn't expect that the subordinates in the house, even if they weren't Beirong spies, wouldn't be honest! Now that Xiao Wang's family has returned, Lan Xue is grounded and recuperating from her injuries, Ma Meiniang has taken over some affairs in the house, but she only takes ideas about the small things in the backyard, and she doesn't care about the things in the front yard at all. Zhao Shuo felt that he was a master, how could he take care of these trivial matters at home? He only blindly relied on his henchmen, but he didn't expect that he would still be a son.

Zhao Shuo could only turn around and scold Zhen Zhong and a few of them: "How to manage the house?!How to adjust the subordinates?!"

Zhen Zhong and the others could only consider themselves unlucky. In fact, they each have their own duties, since Lan Fusheng was expelled, Zhen Zhong is basically in charge of the house's housekeeping, he is alone and lacks skills, and he has something to do at home recently, where can he be busy? Now that something has gone wrong, he can only honestly admit his guilt.

At this time, Ah Xing walked in and whispered a few words in Zhao Mo's ear, Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at his father: "What a coincidence." The idler who talked to this mother-in-law turned out to be from the Liao Palace. Some people say that he is a capable person under the second uncle. ”

"What did you say?!" Zhao Shuo was so angry that his face turned crooked, "What does Zhao Li want to do? He even dared to make up his mind with the woman in my backyard?!"

Zhao Moqiang held back a smile and said seriously: "This is not a trivial matter, father, I'm afraid that the second uncle is not here for Aunt Lan's beauty." ”

"What do you mean by this? Isn't it beauty, isn't it ......" Zhao Shuo suddenly paused, thinking of the deadly secret on Lan Xue's body, his face suddenly changed greatly.

Zhao Mo knew that his father would definitely not be able to take care of this kneeling subordinate now, so he motioned to Zhen Zhong: "Escort everyone down, each of them will be beaten with twenty boards, and they will be sent to Zhuangzi today, don't let them walk around indiscriminately, or meet outsiders, so as not to spread the rumors that should not be spread." ”

Zhen Zhong hesitated and looked at Zhao Shuo, then took the order to escort people away. He can now see clearly that it is not Zhao Shuo who is really expected to achieve a career, but Zhao Mo, and Zhao Shuo still needs to rely on this son. Zhao Mo is really thinking about Zhao Shuo in this matter, he is a subordinate, of course he can't dismantle the master's platform.

When everyone in the room retreated, leaving only Zhao Mo's father and son, Zhao Mo asked Zhao Shuo softly: "Father, what do you think about Aunt Lan's matter? Knowing what her identity is, why do you want to let her go gently? Are you not afraid that people outside will know who she is?!"

Zhao Shuo took a deep breath: "Of course I know the risk!" But, ......" He paused, "Lan Xue's accomplices are still outside, God knows when they will fall into the hands of the government? What if they confess to me at that time? In order to escape the responsibility of negligence, I can only hope to take a step ahead and find out more information from Lan Xue's mouth, so as to help the imperial court take down all the Beirong secret spies, so that I can atone for my crimes." But Lan Xue refused to say it, and I was afraid that I would use the torture to let her accomplices know what to do in private...... There was no way, I had to temporarily ban Lan Xue's feet, and when her injuries healed, I would use her as a bait to lure her accomplices. When the time comes, I will definitely borrow your personal guards, and you don't want to shirk it. ”

Zhao Mo understood Zhao Shuo's intentions, and was noncommittal, only said: "Although my father thinks well, I'm afraid that you can't hesitate anymore." Now that the second uncle has sent someone to inquire about Aunt Lan, I am afraid that he has noticed something, in case he stabs the court without knowing the seriousness, what will my father do?"

Zhao Shuo's face gradually turned pale, and he was a little dispossessed: "That'...... So what should I do?!"

Zhao Mo gave him an idea: "Let's go directly to the prince, right? Explain the importance of the matter to him, and he will take care of the second uncle." ”

"What? no!" Zhao Shuo's face changed again, "The prince is bent on letting Zhao Li take away my position as the son of the world, how can he be willing to help me? He only wishes that I would die soon!"

Zhao Mo said categorically: "If you don't tell the prince, how can my father stop the second uncle from coming? They are about to leave Beijing, if you don't end this matter before they leave, is it possible that your father really wants to risk the secret being leaked?" You should know in your heart that if the second uncle recklessly opens Aunt Lan's secret before leaving Beijing, your position as the son of the world will definitely not be guaranteed, and he ...... thought that he could get the position of the son of the world, but in fact it was empty. Because of Aunt Lan's existence, it is not only a threat to your father, but also to the prince. If you say that you have neglected to supervise, the Liao Wangfu has also neglected to supervise. Father, although you moved out of the palace early and set up your own door, in the eyes of the world, you are still the son of the Liao Wangfu and a member of the Liao Wangfu. If something happens to you, the Liao Wangfu will not be able to escape! The second uncle may not understand this truth, but the prince will not be confused!"

Zhao Shuo's eyes suddenly felt in a trance, calmed down and thought about it, it seemed that he ...... The words of the eldest son still make sense?

Does he want to listen to his son, and hand his handle into the hands of his father, King Liao?

Zhao Mo persuaded him in a low voice: "This matter must be inseparable from the connivance of the princess." The princess is a woman, her knowledge is limited, and she doesn't know the key points, and the second uncle is young, and she doesn't know how to do things, but the prince knows it. Father and I can explain the importance of the matter to the prince in private, this is not a question of who should own the position of the prince, but it is related to the rise and fall of the Liao Palace!"

Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment. Tell the King of Liao about the black state of the concubine of the King of Liao, let him know how stupid this woman he has loved for many years is? Even the son she gave birth to is not a smart person...... That's a good idea. Although Zhao Shuo said that he was not having a good time now, he was still very happy to see that the old enemy was living a more miserable life.

He wanted to bring the mother-in-law in the front yard to the Liao Wang's Mansion as a personal witness, but Zhao Mo said: "This mother-in-law is very cunning, so she refuses to admit it, if she resolutely denies it, how can we get off the stage? Just tell the truth to the prince, what kind of witnesses do you want? Anyway, the prince goes to ask the second uncle, and the second uncle will definitely not lie." ”

Zhao Shuo felt that it was right, so he went out with his son, and went to the Liao Wangfu first while it was still dark.

He didn't know that as soon as they went out, an inconspicuous little guy walked out of the side door of the house, looked around sneakily, and then walked briskly through the alley to the nearby crowded place.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, Ah Xing emerged from the darkness with several low-key guards and quickly followed.
