"Guo Kai ran away?" Zhao Dan looked at Mao Sui, who was kneeling in front of him to plead guilty, and his face also showed an expression of surprise.

Zhao Dan has also heard about what happened at the door of Guo Kai's house.

Obviously, Guo Kai had just appeared in front of Mao Sui, why did he escape in a blink of an eye?

Mao Sui said to Zhao Dan with an obvious look of surprise on his face: "Back to the king, there is a secret passage leading to the outside world in the study of Guo Kai's mansion, and when he saw General Xu Li coming, Guo Kai left through the secret passage." ”

Zhao Dan nodded noncommittally, this kind of thing is actually relatively common, and there are also secret passages under the dragon platform, which can only be said to be Mao Sui's own negligence.

In fact, even if Guo Kai escaped, it would be a matter of a moment, if Mao Sui could close all the gates of Handan as soon as possible, Guo Kai should still be blocked in Handan City.

However, firstly, Mao Sui did not close the power in the city gate of Dasuo, and secondly, it was not good to make the whole city jump for a Guo Kai, after all, the current Handan is the most prosperous city in the world, and the number of people who enter and exit every day is hundreds of thousands, and it is indeed not closed for too long.

But when he thought of this Guo Kai running away like this, Zhao Dan was still a little unhappy in his heart.

Fortunately, I still have a trick to do, and I hope it can be useful.

"How did Pingyang-kun appear?" Although he already knew the general situation, Zhao Dan still wanted to hear what Mao Sui had to say.

Mao Sui didn't dare to hide it, and directly told Zhao Dan the whole story, and finally said: "King, the minister feels that this matter is strange. After the minister came out of the palace, he went directly back to the supervision and guard headquarters to mobilize people, and then immediately went to Guo's house. But the minister had only arrived at the time of the Guo family's pillar of incense, and Pingyang Jun led the crowd to arrive. ”

After saying this, Mao Sui closed his mouth, but Zhao Dan already understood what he meant.

To be able to gather a large number of people to arrive in such a short period of time, if Zhao Bao had not sent someone to keep an eye on the gate of the Supervision Guard beforehand, it would have been impossible to do it.

And the deaths of several surveillance agents are also very strange, could it also be related to Zhao Bao?

Zhao Dan's fingers kept tapping on the corner of the table in front of him, silent.

What was supposed to be a simple thing suddenly became tricky.

Zhao Bao is an out-and-out core figure of Zhao State, if this matter really has a lot to do with Zhao Bao, then it is likely to cause an earthquake in Zhao State's political arena.

The current Zhao State is fighting on two fronts, and if there is any internal chaos at this time, it will not be a good thing.

Or wait until this battle is over and settle accounts later?

All kinds of thoughts came to Zhao Dan's heart, making it a little difficult for him to choose.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Dan still made a decision, and said to Mao Sui in front of him: "You just have to continue to investigate, there are widows, you don't have to worry!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Dan took out another token and threw it in front of Mao Sui: "This is a troop transfer token, if necessary, you can mobilize no more than five hundred Yulin troops to cooperate with your actions, anyone who dares to resist, you can cut it first and then play!" ”

After Mao Sui got this token, he was overjoyed, so even if he faced Zhao Bao again, Mao Sui would be completely unworthy.

"Thank you, King!"

Just when Mao Sui replied to Zhao Dan, Zhao Bao on the other side had just returned to the house and ushered in a guest who came in a hurry.

This guest was none other than Zhao Sheng, the plain monarch who rushed to hear the news.

As soon as Zhao Shenggang saw Zhao Bao, he immediately asked, "Pingyang Jun, I heard that you and Mao Sui and Xu Li are on the same page?" What the hell is going on? ”

Zhao Bao smiled bitterly, and told everything that had just happened outside Guo Kai's mansion, and then said: "Pingyuanjun, I don't think this matter is quite right." ”

Zhao Sheng frowned, and after a long time, he said, "This thing is really wrong." If Guo Kai has no ghost in his heart, he doesn't need to run away at all. Even if a person enters Hu Yiwei, that Mao Sui used to be my retainer after all, and he will give me some face, and he will not treat Guo Kai well. As long as you and I join forces, we will be able to fish out Guo Kai sooner or later. ”

Zhao Bao's face changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but slap the table hard, and said angrily: "In this way, haven't I been deceived by Guo Kai's dog?" Damn it, I'm going to punish his whole clan! ”

Zhao Sheng sighed and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, you may be too impulsive, Pingyangjun." Think about it, if Guo Kai's matter was just a secret move by Mao Sui, Yu Xin and others, then how could Xu Li appear? Xu Li is now the general of the Yulin Army, and he is responsible for defending the palace city. The appearance of Xu Li can only represent one thing, that is"

Before Zhao Sheng's words could speak, Zhao Bao's whole person was completely stunned: "Could this be the meaning of the king?" In this way, in fact, this matter is promoted by the king behind the scenes, and the real target is actually you and me? ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little frozen.

The two brothers, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, looked at each other, and they could see the shock and fear in each other's eyes.

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that if Yu Xin and the others from the Buyi faction wanted to make trouble, it would not be a big problem, after all, everyone had been fighting for so many years, and they all knew what means they had.

But if the mastermind behind the scenes is the nephew of his own monarch, it will be completely different.

Don't look at Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao are now calling for wind and rain in the political arena of Zhao State, but as soon as Zhao Dan speaks, those two people will have to fall from heaven to hell in minutes.

After leading the Zhao State to defeat strong enemies one after another and successfully expand the territory, Zhao Dan's prestige has reached a point that has never been reached by the monarchs of Zhao State in previous dynasties.

Now the ministers of Zhao State have completely lost the power to restrain Zhao Dan, let alone Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, even if the seven important ministers of Zhao State join forces.

After a long time, Zhao Shengcai, who had an ugly face, slowly spoke: "Impossible. I still know the character of the king, and if I really want to take power, I shouldn't use such means. It must have been that Guo Kai did something wrong and was discovered by Mao Sui, and then reported to the king. ”

Zhao Bao's face was even more ugly than Zhao Sheng's, and he immediately stood up from his chair and said, "If that's the case, then I have made a big mistake in this matter!" No, I will go into the palace now and ask the king for my guilt. ”

"Wait!" Zhao Sheng stopped Zhao Bao and stood up: "I'll go with you." ”

Zhao Bao paused for a moment, then showed a grateful look on his face, and said, "Pingyuanjun, thank you." ”

Zhao Sheng shook his head and sighed: "You and I are brothers, so why do you need to say this? If I don't go, I'll really give that Yu Xin a chance, let's go! ”

Half an hour later, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao hurriedly rushed to the Longtai side hall and saw Zhao Dan, who was still buried in office.

As soon as he saw Zhao Dan, Zhao Bao immediately knelt down and said loudly: "The ministers are not strict, which leads to thieves like Guo Kai, and I ask the king to forgive me!" ”

Zhao Dan slowly raised his head, his eyes fell on Zhao Bao's body, and his tone was very calm: "I don't know what Pingyang Jun is guilty of?" ”

As soon as Zhao Bao heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat all over his body.

It's been so many years, and Zhao Bao naturally understands the temper of this monarch's nephew.

If one of the answers is not good, then there is really going to be big trouble.

So Zhao Bao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said honestly: "Minister...... Back to the king, the minister actually didn't know what Guo Kai had done, the minister just felt that the supervisor suddenly sent someone to arrest Guo Kai, and it was very likely that some people were pushing behind the scenes, wanting to open a gap from Guo Kai to frame the minister, so the minister ......"

Zhao Dan interrupted Zhao Bao's words: "So you took hundreds of messengers to block Mao Sui, who was acting on the orders of the widow?" If it weren't for the widow who later sent Xu Li, would you still want to take down Mao Sui on the spot, huh? Pingyang-kun, Pingyang-kun, you are really majestic! ”

Zhao Dan's heart was really unhappy, if it weren't for Zhao Bao's horizontal insertion, Mao Sui would probably be able to take down Guo Kai, and things would not have so many twists and turns.

Zhao Bao's face was flushed by Zhao Dan's scolding, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng on the side hurriedly excused himself and said, "King, Pingyang Jun's matter is indeed a little reckless. But what the minister wants to say is that Pingyang Jun's loyalty to the king and Zhao Guozhi is beyond doubt, and he also asks the king to take it lightly for the sake of Pingyang Jun's loyalty. ”

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng, and his face was full of smiling expressions: "Pingyuanjun, you should know that the Inspector Wei has always been directly responsible to the widow, and the widow's order is the action of the Inspector Guard, and now someone actually obstructs the Inspector Guard from performing his official duties in public, isn't this a blatant disobedience to the widow's order?" Tell me, how should the widow be punished for such a man? ”

For some reason, after Zhao Sheng was swept by Zhao Dan's gaze, his whole heart suddenly struck, and he didn't dare to continue to plead.

Zhao Dan turned his gaze back to Zhao Bao who was kneeling on the ground, shook his head, and then picked up the confession he had just sent from the table and threw it in front of Zhao Bao: "Pingyang Jun, let's take a look for yourself." ”

Zhao Bao picked up these confessions and looked at them, and his whole face suddenly turned pale, and his body began to tremble.

Zhao Sheng on the side quietly stretched his neck and barely saw a few words, and he also shouted in his heart that it was not good.

Zhao Bao finally couldn't hold back the fear in his heart, and kowtowed to Zhao Dan and begged for mercy: "King, the minister really doesn't know that Guo Kai is so daring to do such a treasonous thing. The minister invited the king to Mingjian, and the minister was definitely not involved in this matter! ”

At this moment, Zhao Bao's heart was full of remorse, if he knew that Guo Kai was involved in this kind of thing, then Zhao Bao would not protect this Guo Kai in death.

You must know that the last guy involved in treason was named Lou Chang, who was also an important minister of Zhao State, and the result? As a result, the grass has grown on Lou Chang's grave, and the once prominent Lou clan has completely disappeared in Zhao State.

Zhao Sheng on the side hesitated, knowing that this time had reached the most critical moment, he gritted his teeth and simply knelt down, and said: "King, the minister dares to guarantee with his life, Pingyang Jun definitely has no intention of committing chaos, please also ask King Mingjian!" ”

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao kneeling in front of him, and his heart was also a little entangled.

If Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao insist on fighting themselves to the end, then there is nothing to say, just go straight to the end.

But now it is more difficult to kneel, cry and beg for mercy.

After all, these two people are Zhao Dan's own uncles, and they have always been the two people who support Zhao Dan the most, is it really because of this matter that the two of them are directly involved together?

Just when Zhao Dan was hesitating, a Zhao domestic attendant appeared in front of Zhao Dan and whispered in Zhao Dan's ear: "King, Yu Xin, Li Bo, Zheng Zhu and several other ministers are waiting outside the palace!" ”

Zhao Dan suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight, and now it was getting more and more lively.

"Hmph, all of them are bright. Well, since that's the case, let's all let the widow come in! ”
