Chapter 283: Showdown
Zhao Shuo looked at the things in the baggage in front of him, his expression was complicated, his eyes flickered, and his face was full of emptiness.
He glanced at his son secretly, blinked, and tried to pretend to be stupid: "What are you doing with these to show me? It's just a hundred taels of silver, could it be that you plan to honor me?"
Zhao Mo Shi Ran took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, didn't look at him, only lowered his head and sorted out his sleeves: "Father, don't pretend to be stupid." Since I sent it back to you, I can't be fooled by a few words from you. If you pretend again, you will not take me for a fool, but for yourself. ”
Zhao Shuo's face sank: "Presumptuous! Are you going to teach you a lesson in turn?!"
Zhao Mo glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to teach me Lao Tzu, but if my Lao Tzu wants to be stupid, what can I do? I don't want to die with my Lao Tzu, I can only save myself! And the way I save myself is to let me know that only honest people have a good life, and if I am smart, I will kill myself, but I don't know if he can understand it!"
"Bastard thing!" Zhao Shuo blushed with anger, "Who are you scolding?!Do you still know who I am?!"
"If I didn't know that you were my father, you thought I would care if you lived or died?!" Zhao Mo seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, so he simply let himself be angry at his father, "What kind of medicine did you give to the princess? Do you know that this teahouse guy you bought is not reliable at all, and it is stupid." Before the princess could do anything, he showed his feet first. If I hadn't been clever enough to get him away, maybe one day, the princess would have sued you to the Zongren Mansion, saying that you intended to kill your mother, and you were heinous. When the time comes, don't say anything about the position of the prince, you will even lose your life, and our family will be unlucky! I'm afraid that even my position as the king of the county may not be able to be kept! The princess and the second uncle and the third uncle don't have to do anything, they can safely take the position of the prince. Father is not their enemy, but their ally!, how could they have taken the initiative to give them the handle before they even started to fight you?!"
Zhao Shuo's eyes widened, his already somewhat rigid brain finally began to turn, and he didn't care about arguing with his son about etiquette for the time being, and directly mentioned the point: "What's wrong with that teahouse guy? He told someone about me?!"
Zhao Mo sneered: "God knows if he told anyone about you, I only know that he told someone about a noble person who gave him a lot of money." All the people around him knew that he had made a fortune, and when they asked him where the money came from, he said that a noble man had instructed him to do things, and gave him a reward in advance. Don't look at the fact that he hasn't mentioned your name yet, as long as the princess and princess suspect him and find out the person and ask, he will never hide it for his father. He showed a disdainful expression, "After all, when my people went to ask him, they only scared him twice, and he said your name." Father really wants to buy someone, why don't you find someone with a tighter mouth?"
Zhao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay." After a pause, he frowned again, "So, do you know that he is rich and what I told him to do...... No, where did you know what I told him to do?"
Zhao Mo said lightly: "Father can arrange eyes and ears in the Liao Wang's Mansion, and I can do the same." It seems that my luck is very good, the bribe found out so quickly that something was wrong with the teahouse and cleared this hidden danger in time, otherwise I would have been unlucky in a daze, and I don't know how I planted it!"
Zhao Shuo's face faintly showed a little unwillingness: "What are you still saying! It's clear that no one has found out what that little guy has done, so you just got rid of people, so ...... Isn't the medicine from the princess in vain?!" "That medicine needs to be taken continuously for a period of time before it can really hurt the body." Now the princess has only eaten it for a few days, but if she hires a more reliable doctor to regulate her body, the effect of the medicine will be removed!
Zhao Mo was angry when he mentioned this, but he didn't expect his father to have the face to mention: "What if it's white? Why did my father drug the princess? Do you want her to die? Or just let her suffer from illness? She is just suffering from heat stroke, and she can also use the excuse of not adapting to the water and soil, so as not to arouse suspicion for the time being." But whether it is heat stroke or water and soil adaptation, it will not make her sick forever. Father should be glad that the doctors and imperial doctors they have come to ask for days are not really clever doctors, otherwise as long as someone finds out that the princess's condition is delicate, they can easily find out that there is something wrong with the tea. Doing this kind of thing is harmful to others and not to myself, I really can't understand my father's intentions. Whether the princess is dead or alive, what does it have to do with you? When she dies, you still have to keep filial piety? Do you want to go back to Liaodong to keep filial piety and face the prince, the second uncle, and the third uncle day and night?
Zhao Shuo looked away uncomfortably: "What's this? She is dead, and I can keep filial piety in the capital." The emperor promised me to live in Beijing for a long time, and also gave me a house, how could he let me go back to Liaodong to guard filial piety?"
Zhao Mo sneered: "If the prince decrees and asks to take his sons back to Liaodong to keep filial piety, my father thinks that he can make an exception? You are the son of the world and the eldest brother, and you should set an example for your brothers." This grandson of mine has his own fiefdom, but it's just a matter of paying it back. The emperor only needs to say a word to keep me. But father, do you think the emperor will also open his mouth to keep you?"
Zhao Shuo's face turned a little blue.
Zhao Mo said again: "That teahouse guy is too easy to check, these belongings you gave him, gold and silver are just down, but several pieces of jewelry are marked, as long as you check carefully, you can find out sooner or later, even those silver tickets, may not be traceable to the source." Father's usual carelessness is just that, how can he not know how to be careful when he does such important secrets? Is it difficult to find some unmarked gold and silver and silver tickets all over the street?"
Zhao Shuo's eyes flickered away from his gaze, knowing that he was wrong, and he was also a little remorseful. Why was he so careless at the time......? It was because he knew that the Liao Wang's family was about to arrive in the capital, and he had to move out in a hurry, and he felt that it would be a pity to move away like this, so he temporarily thought of the idea of drugged......
Zhao Shuo hesitated for a moment and softened his tone: "This matter ...... It was because of my father's negligence for a while, but I didn't expect that little guy to look clever, but he was stupid. It's a pity that his medicine is in vain, but it's ...... If you can get rid of the hidden danger of the teahouse, everyone can rest assured. Where is the princess...... I'm going to ignore her for now. Anyway, I've moved back now, and even if I want to do something, I can't do it. ”
Zhao Mo looked at him: "Does my father want to put the princess to death?
Zhao Shuo said in a low voice: "What is there to ask about this? She is a mortal enemy with her father, have you forgotten? If it weren't for her, your mother wouldn't have died." And your second brother and aunt, she also harmed her!"
Zhao Mo showed a bit of ridicule on his face: "Although your mother was seriously ill by the princess, she committed suicide, right? As for my second brother...... How he died is still difficult to say. At this point, my father is still willing to believe Aunt Lan's words, and I have no intention of paying attention to them. But don't worry, the princess has a grudge against you and my father and son, and I will not forget this. I will not help them deal with you and take the throne of the prince away from you. ”
Zhao Shuo smiled dryly: "That's good, that's good......" He hesitated, "Then why are you...... I heard that you are very close to Zhao Yan now......"
Zhao Mo's expression was faint: "I can't say it's close, it's just that we often talk together." If I hadn't gotten acquainted with him, how could I use him to borrow a knife to kill people and get rid of that teahouse?"
Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Oh...... I see. He fidgeted a little, "Brother Mo, that ...... That little guy is ...... now Where is it?"
Zhao Mo glanced at him: "Father doesn't have to ask." ”
Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, but his heart was relieved, and he suddenly showed a smile: "Okay, as long as you clean up, don't leave trouble for your father, and your father won't ask so much." It's a pity this time, I chose the wrong person, otherwise the plan wouldn't have died halfway. The medicine on the princess's side has stopped, and it is estimated that her body will get better in a few days, and I don't know what else she will do, so we need to be more vigilant. Although the father has placed people in the palace, he always feels that it is not enough. Since you have also arranged someone over there, why don't you ...... Also find a way to do something in the diet of the princess or Zhao Li?"
Zhao Mo looked at him expressionlessly.
Zhao Shuo hurriedly explained: "I don't want to give any poison, I just want them to be sick for a few days, and they can't make waves in the capital." When the Queen Mother's birthday passes, I will let your people stop. Don't worry, I have medicine here, and no one will find out......"
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhao Mo interrupted him: "Father's medicine, my people can find out casually, how can I rest assured?!"
Zhao Shuo was stunned.
Zhao Mo continued: "If my father is just worried that the prince and princess will take the throne of your son, just rest assured." With me, the emperor and the crown prince won't do anything to you. The prince and princess are the same no matter where they go. They are indifferent to the saints, and no one can go beyond me. Father only needs to stay at home in peace, and no one can take away your position as the son of the world. But if you act rashly, I can't guarantee that. I can't expect the emperor to forgive my father's murder after forgiving my father's crime of rebellion!"
Zhao Shuo turned his head away weakly, and said weakly: "You little child, how do you know their methods?! Last time, they specially dug a trap to harm me......
Zhao Mo interrupted him again: "If you don't leave a handle for others, the fake won't become true." ”
Interrupted by his son twice and three times, Zhao Shuo was a little annoyed: "What is your attitude towards being a father now? Don't think that if you make a little contribution this time, you will be able to put up a stand in front of your father? Have you forgotten what filial piety is?!"
Zhao Mo sneered and glanced at his father meaningfully: "My son doesn't know what filial piety is, does my father know what filial piety is?"
Zhao Shuo, who had just proposed to kill his (step) mother and poisonous brother, was suddenly choked.
Zhao Mo straightened his sleeves and stood up: "My son is leaving, father should be honest, don't act rashly." Otherwise, I can keep your position as the son of the world, and I can also make you lose the position of the son of the world. Don't think I'm scaring people. You are my Laozi, to be honest, I don't want to deal with you with the Liao Wangfu in my heart. But if you do threaten my life, don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, since I was eleven years old, you have taught me by example that nothing should not be given up for the sake of my own interests and future. You always think I'm disobedient, but now that I'm obedient, I'll learn ten out of ten according to your actions, and you must feel very gratified, right?"
He glanced at Zhao Shuo, and then left unhurriedly, leaving Zhao Shuo alone in his place, looking sluggish.
