Chapter 217: Contingency

Zhao Mo originally thought that he and his father Zhao Shuo had already thought out the plan very thoughtfully, and it stands to reason that nothing would go wrong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he just needs to wait for news. But when he found out that Xiaomei hadn't returned to the East Courtyard for a long time, he felt that something might have happened to the outer study.

Soon, the hunch was confirmed.

Du's mother took a few healthy women to the East Courtyard, and without saying a word, she tied up Xiaolan, who was standing under the porch looking at the courtyard gate and waiting for Xiaomei's return. Xiaolan was shocked and struggled desperately: "What are you doing? Let go of me! Be bold! I was given to my brother by the princess!" Mother Du sneered: "If you hadn't been sent by the princess, I wouldn't have arrested you!"

Xiaolan was shocked, her eyes flashed slightly, and her face turned white. At this point, she didn't need to ask to know that something must have gone wrong on Xiaomei's side, so that the people in this mansion found out. She bit her lip and stopped struggling, letting the healthy woman escort her away.

Mother Du turned to Zhao Mo, who had been sitting at the table silently, and said with a smile: "Brother is just here, these two spies are also your girls, please go to the study and make it clear to the uncle and wife, right?"

Zhao Mo glanced at her lightly, got up and tidied up his sleeves, and walked out unhurriedly.

Mother Du saw that he was so calm, as if she was not surprised at all by the arrest of Xiaomei and Xiaolan, and she couldn't help but guess in her heart: "Could it be that Brother Mo is aware? How can this be? He has not been loved by the King of Liao since he was a child, and he will never sell his father in order to please his grandfather, right?" She was a little surprised for a while, and hurriedly followed.

When Zhao Mo came to the outer study, the house was crowded with people inside and outside. Several sturdy and powerful servants put Xiaomei and Xiaolan in the courtyard, Xiaomei's hair was scattered, and her face was embarrassed. She looked at Xiaolan anxiously and wanted to talk to the latter, but was kicked unceremoniously by the servant, pulling her hair and shouting: "Don't make noise!" Xiaomei gritted her teeth and glared at the servant woman fiercely, and was kicked twice. When she saw Zhao Mo coming, she was stunned, and her eyes suddenly burst with hope. But Zhao Mo ignored her and went directly into the study, the light in her eyes dimmed again, and a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on her face.

In the room, Zhao Shuotie sat upright with a blue face, and next to him was Xiao Wang's with a smug face. She was talking to the eldest girl who was married: "As soon as I heard you say, I knew that there was something wrong with these two girls." At that time, I told you to pay more attention, and you must keep an eye on their every move, and sure enough, won't you find out their true colors? Fortunately, I kept an eye on them, otherwise I would have been harmed by these two sluts, and we don't know yet!"

She turned her head to Zhao Shuo again and spoke: "Uncle must be very angry, right? God forbid, let me discover their conspiracy in time, and did not let the princess's treacherous plan succeed! Uncle, rest assured, my father will definitely make the decision for you and take this breath for you!"

Zhao Shuo didn't want to talk to her at all.

When he saw his son Zhao Mo coming, he opened his mouth and closed it again, only sighing. The success was lost, and he could only sigh.

Zhao Mo didn't need him to say it, he could deduce the general course of the matter from the situation inside and outside the study. Although she didn't know why Xiao Wang's family monitored Xiaomei and Xiaolan, she finally caught their father and son off guard. The original plan is no longer usable, so how to deal with the aftermath next?

While thinking about this question, Zhao Mo saluted Zhao Shuo and Xiao Wang a little absentmindedly.

When Xiao Wang saw him, the smile on his face narrowed a little, but his tone was still proud: "Brother Mo, look at what good things you have done! Your two girls turned out to be spies sent by the princess! Although you are still young, you may have been deceived by the princess, but if you hadn't brought them to our house, there would be no today." You're a teenager anyway, so you should be sensible and don't just eat, drink and be merry all day long. I don't ask you to solve your father's problems, but don't hold him back! Fortunately, this time I found out about these two spies in time, and I didn't let your father suffer a grievance. But it's all because of your negligence. Even if your father hurts you again, he can't go unpunished this time. Don't be convinced. ”

"Okay!" Zhao Shuo frowned and interrupted his wife's words, "Is it over?" What does this have to do with Mo'er?! I told you to go back to the inner courtyard a long time ago, what are you still talking about here? My son is in charge of me, so I don't need you to worry about it!"

Xiao Wang's family was proud, and suddenly Zhao Shuo poured a basin of cold water, and he was also a little stunned. After a long while, Fang Cai bit his lip unconvinced, barely squeezed out a smile, and continued to pretend to be virtuous and generous: "I know that the uncle loves the child, but the child still has to be taught with heart, and he has to let them know what is right and wrong, and he can't be too indulgent and spoiled." That's not good for them. ”

Zhao Shuo sneered: "It's rare that Mrs. knows this, I thought the Wang family wouldn't teach this!" He didn't pay attention to Xiao Wang's changing face, and got up and pulled his son into the inner room to sit down, and said with some frustration: "I really regret my father, I didn't listen to your advice." If these two girls had been asked to get things done yesterday, where would there have been today's changes?"

Zhao Mo said in a low voice: "It's no wonder that my father is here. Who would have thought that Madame would suddenly jump out? Now I have to find a way to clean up the mess. ”

Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not that easy. When she saw the fake letter, she shouted that the whole courtyard knew about it. It's okay for my own people, but the girls and wives under her are so talkative that I'm afraid it won't take two days to spread the word all over the city. She also decided that this was a good opportunity to hit the princess. Even if I told her that I would leave the matter to deal with, and she could go back to the inner courtyard, she quietly sent her companion room to send a letter to Wang's house. It's over tonight, tomorrow the Wang family will definitely come. And on the palace side, your stepmother also sent someone to condemn it. I see what she means, and it seems that she is planning to sue the Zongren Mansion tomorrow. You said...... How is this going to end?!"

I see......

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows, and said after a little hesitation: "Father doesn't have to worry, just plan it." This will make things bigger, compared with the original plan, it is just the difference between the difference between the fact that the evidence was found to be forged after the prince sued the royal court, and your innocence was returned, and when the prince wanted to fabricate evidence, he was arrested by you, and then sued the royal court to seek his innocence, the difference between the two. Now that we have all the human and material evidence, the prince can't explain why he did this. Even if it makes a big fuss, you won't lose. ”

So...... That's right, too.

Zhao Shuo was just a little worried: "Today's human and physical evidence can only prove that the girl who the princess rewarded you stole my private seal and poked it on a fake letter." If Father doesn't admit it, we can't convict him. In the end, things may have to be settled. ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "When I came in just now, my son saw that Xiaomei was being detained in the courtyard, and he didn't have the opportunity to exchange news with Xiaolan. So you just ordered someone to separate Xiaomei and Xiaolan, so that they couldn't know each other's situation. When the prince and the Wang family came, you only let them see Xiaolan, and said that Xiaomei confessed, and everything was instructed by the prince. Xiaolan knew that Xiaomei was arrested during the operation, and with her temperament, she may not confess, but she may not be coaxed to tell the truth. Xiaolan can't refute our claim, Lord Wang...... It is impossible to deny it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Mo paused: "Of course, if the prince insists that he doesn't know, Xiaomei is lying, then the father can't say anything." If it really comes to the front of the palace, when the emperor asks Xiaomei, Xiaomei doesn't tell the truth, it becomes us lying. Therefore...... My son thinks that it would be good for us to say that the instigator of Xiaomei's recruitment is not the prince, but the second uncle. I have tested Xiaomei and Xiaolan's tone, they are very close to the second uncle, but they are mediocre to the uncle. I guess the second uncle must have a good relationship with them. Father, you are vague, you don't need to mention too many details, just imply that Xiaomei and Xiaolan's actions have nothing to do with the second uncle. ”

Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Not bad." Anyway, Zhao Li must also be one of the messengers, and it is not difficult for his father to deny that he has participated in this matter, but he wants to defend Zhao Li, but few people will believe it. Everyone knows that the princess and her two sons look at me unpleasantly and are bent on taking my throne. This time, they framed me, saying that it was Zhao Li's instigation, which is reasonable. Even if he can't be convicted in the end, with this stain, he won't want to be a son!"

Zhao Mo looked at Zhao Shuo: "Father, the prince will definitely protect the second uncle." You must be careful, don't show your mouth. We have evidence in our hands to trap the second uncle against us, and this is our bargaining chip. However, we must understand in our hearts that this bargaining chip can only be used to bluff people, because Xiaomei has not confessed at present. You must not hand over Xiaomei and Xiaolan, nor can you show the letter to others. If you can successfully bluff the prince, then whether it is the prince of the world, or the calculation of the Shu Palace, the prince may give in. You also have to ask why the prince suddenly decided to frame you. If we don't make this clear, we still can't avoid the calculations of the prince and princess after all. ”

Zhao Shuo's face was serious, and he nodded solemnly: "I know it in my heart, don't worry." ”

He called Jiang Cheng in and gave a few orders. Jiang Cheng went out and ordered someone to escort Xiaomei and Xiaolan away separately, and wanted to lock them up in different places. Although there have been cases for a long time, the interrogation work still needs to be done. If they can really recruit something, it will be even better.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was going to escort the two girls away, Xiao Wang was still a little dissatisfied, and lifted the curtain to the inner room and asked Zhao Shuo: "What is Uncle going to do? Even if you want to interrogate people, you can also interrogate them directly? Why do you want to take them down?"

Zhao Mo glanced at her: "Madam, during the torture, it is inevitable that there will be some blood, you are a weak woman in the boudoir, it will not be good if you are frightened." ”

Where did Xiao Wang really want to see the torture scenes? She was just not satisfied with being ignored by her husband. She ignored Zhao Mo and called Zhao Shuo in protest: "Uncle?"

Zhao Shuo glanced back at her impatiently: "It's a big night, what are you making trouble?" Ming'er is resting, and my father-in-law may be coming over early in the morning. Don't you have to see him?"

Xiao Wang flattened his mouth, glared at Zhao Mo hatefully, turned around and took the girls and sisters-in-law away. Wait, Ming'er's father is here, she will sue Zhao Mo again, and she will complain about Zhao Shuo a few more words.

Zhao Mo watched coldly as Xiao Wang's master and servant left and squinted.
