After a while, Zhao Rushen led his subordinates in.

The subordinates served tea to Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi, Xiao Jingcong picked up the teacup, opened the tea lid, and suddenly a rich fragrance of tea came to his face.

"Well, the color of this tea is very tender green and smooth, and it smells fragrant, fresh and soft."

Xiao Jingcong said as he gently pursed his lips and took a sip, and then praised, "Well, the taste is refreshing when you enter it, sweet but not greasy, it should be fresh West Lake Longjing, right?" ”

Yan Zixi has never understood tea, nor does she know how to taste tea, but she is not good at showing it when outsiders are present, so she also learned from Xiao Jingcong's appearance, tasted it carefully, and then said leisurely, "Well, it's really good!" ”

Hearing that Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi both gave high praise for this tea, Zhao Rushen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly grinned and said, "I really didn't expect that Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao are also people who understand tea and love tea, and they can taste the name of this tea in one bite, which is really admirable to the lower officials!" ”

"Heh, Lord Zhao, you are really good at sycophants! No wonder he was able to do the position of Gyeonggi Province Yoon! Xiao Jingcong put down the teacup and glanced at Zhao Rushen with a smile, looking like she had something to say.

Zhao Rushen waved his hand, "Hey, Prince Xiao is laughing, Xiaguan is just telling the truth, honesty has always been the creed of Xiaguan and my life." Whether it is the first emperor or the current saint, it is because of the trust in the lower officials that the lower officials will be in charge of such an important position! The lower officials can't sleep day and night, for fear of disappointing the holy grace of the first emperor and the current saint! ”

Zhao Rushen hugged his fists with his hands towards the sky, as if he was showing his sincerity to Xiao Jingcong!

However, it is also done in this way, the more Xiao Jingcong rushes to the false.

Hehe, the hat buckle is getting bigger and bigger.

Even the first emperor moved out?

Yan Zixi sighed in her heart, feeling more and more outrageous, this Zhao Rushen is really clever, if he wants to get something out of his mouth, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky!

Xiao Jingcong naturally understood what Zhao Rushen meant by this, Zhao Rushen raised the first emperor, which was nothing more than a warning to Xiao Jingcong, or that the demonstration was more appropriate.

After a slight pause, after Zhao Rushen finished acting, he asked Xiao Jingcong with a smile: "Lord Xiao, I heard that the Holy Lord sent you to solve the flood problem this time, I don't know what happened when you and the princess suddenly visited the lower official mansion?" ”

Here it comes!

The old fox finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to ask Xiao Jingcong about the purpose of the trip.

Xiao Jingcong got up from his seat, walked down the steps, put his hands behind his back, had a gloomy face, glanced at Zhao Rushen, and asked coldly.

"Lord Zhao, I don't know if you have heard the news that Chen County Commander of the county government outside the city was assassinated?"

"What, Chen Xianling was assassinated? This...... How is this possible? Some time ago, Xia Guan and he had a correspondence! Hearing Xiao Jingcong's question, Chen Xianling pretended to be surprised, as if he really didn't know anything about it.

Xiao Jingcong raised her eyebrows, "Oh? I don't know if Lord Zhao can easily take out those letters and check them with this king? You can rest assured, this king is not here to investigate the death of Chen County Order this time, this king found out that Chen County Order may have embezzled the money used in this disaster relief without permission, and he was killed for fear that the spoils would be unevenly distributed. ”

When Zhao Rushen heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he said to Xiao Jingcong with a look of disbelief: "What?!" Is there such a thing?! To tell you the truth, Lord Xiao, that Chen Zhicai is a protégé of Xiaguan, who once helped me do things, and he was also promoted by Xiaguan and me...... Although he is not a big official, he has some real power, I really didn't expect to do such a ridiculous thing! But it's good to be dead, that Chen Zhicai is really innocent! ”

"Okay, Lord Zhao doesn't need to be too angry, this king knows that this matter has nothing to do with you, and the reason why he wants to read the letter is just to see if Chen Zhicai will leave some clues in the letter, and I hope Lord Zhao can cooperate."

"Well, what Prince Xiao said is right, it should be, then you and the princess sit down for a while, and go back when the officials go."

Saying that, Zhao Rushen hugged his fists at Xiao Jingcong, walked out of the hall again, turned left when he went out, and went straight to the study, which should be to get the letter he and Chen Xianling had led to.

Xiao Jingcong did not propose to go to the study with Zhao Rushen, because Xiao Jingcong knew very well in his heart that those key letters were all incriminating evidence, and Zhao Rushen, a cunning old fox, had already burned those incriminating evidence as soon as he learned of Chen Countyling's death, where did he wait for Xiao Jingcong to investigate?

So even if Xiao Jingcong followed Zhao Rushen over, he would not get anything, rather than this, it was better for Zhao Rushen to take it himself, and see how many letters he and Chen Xianling would bring from that old fox.

Xiao Jingcong thought so in her heart, inadvertently glanced at Yan Zixi beside her, and said to her with a smile: "Xi'er, it's boring to wait, right?" "Sanjiu Chinese Network

Yan Zixi also smiled, "It's okay!" Jing Cong, this Lord Zhao is indeed very cunning! The tone is very strict, whether it is knocking on the side, or threatening and intimidating, he just refuses to confide half a word, and he has been clearing up his relationship, which is really a headache! ”

"It's nothing, Xi'er, most of the officials in his position are left and right, and they are exquisite, you never know which of his words is true and which is false."

"That'...... Then can't we go to the Holy Book and directly depose him? Yan Zixi asked tentatively, he didn't understand the politics of the DPRK and China, and he didn't know what the way to be an official, but since Xiao Jingcong already knew that this Zhao Rushen was involved in this flood relief case, why couldn't he use the topic to play?

This made Yan Zixi very incomprehensible.

Xiao Jingcong seemed to see the confusion on Yan Zixi's face, chuckled, and then explained, "Xi'er, you don't understand. He has been sitting in this position for decades, and the network of relationships behind him is intricate, and there are countless officials involved, and if the dog jumps off the wall, he will definitely fight back...... When the time comes, I am afraid that he will bite back, and he will blame the DPRK and Chinese officials for his husband together, and then he will occupy a passive situation......"

"Really hateful?!" Yan Zixi was so angry that she clenched her little pink fist, puffed out her cheeks and said angrily: "Jing Cong, isn't there any way to cure him?" ”

"Yes, as long as he has conclusive evidence, then he can't deny it even if he wants to. It's a pity that that Chen County Order has been assassinated......" Xiao Jingcong let out a long sigh, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.

While the two were talking, Zhao Rushen had already gone and returned, and there were a few more documents in his hand, which must have been the letters he and Chen Xianling passed before their deaths.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhao Rushen bowed to Xiao Jingcong apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lord Xiao, I've kept you waiting." This is the letter that Chen Zhicai exchanged with the lower officials before his death, please take a look at it from Prince Xiao! Zhao Rushen said as he handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Jingcong.

Xiao Jingcong didn't answer, but just took a letter casually, opened it and took out the stationery inside and read it.

The content of the letter is nothing more than some short and trivial things in the parents, most of which are thanks and greetings sent by Chen Xianling, and there is nothing famous at all.

Xiao Jingcong guessed this result early on, he raised his head, sneered at Zhao Rushen in front of him, and asked: "Lord Zhao, it seems that you have a lot of weight in that Chen Zhicai's heart?" ”

"That's nature!" Zhao Rushen did not deny this, "Then Chen Zhicai is Xiaguan's protégé, and Xiaguan can be regarded as half of his mentor no matter what he says, and he should be respectful to me...... Alas, it's still to blame the lower official for not educating him well, let him go the wrong way, and he would do such a hurtful thing, which really makes the lower official feel sad and regretful! ”

After speaking, Zhao Rushen lifted his sleeves again and pretended to cry.

Yan Zixi felt sick to her stomach when she heard this, and her mouth quickly urged Xiao Jingcong to come.

"Jingcong, let's go, what else is there to check! That Chen County Order is self-inflicted, although our Lord Zhao is someone else's teacher, he doesn't know anything about it. In my opinion, let's stop bothering Lord Zhao, right? ”

When Zhao Rushen heard this, he was overjoyed, but he still said politely: "Hey! Princess Xiao, where did you say, how can you say that it is an interruption?! It is really an honor for the lower officials to be able to do things for Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao! ”

"Okay, Lord Zhao, knowing that you have worked hard and are busy, let's not bother." Saying that, Yan Zixi looked at Xiao Jingcong again, "Jingcong, let's go, I really don't want to stay in this place anymore." ”

Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi's disgusted look, and secretly laughed in his heart, he nodded, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go." After Xiao Jingcong finished speaking, he walked over and shook Yan Zixi's little hand, and then coldly glanced at Zhao Rushen who was nodding his head, "Lord Zhao, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"Lord Xiao is polite, the lower officials can't afford it!"

"Well, that's good, you're busy, this king is gone."

"Xiaguan sends Prince Xiao to Princess Xiao, let Xiaguan send you out of the house, right?"

"Hey, no need, this king will leave by himself, so I won't bother Lord Zhao." Saying that, Xiao Jingcong took Yan Zixi out of the hall and walked straight to the door of the mansion.

Zhao Rushen watched Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi leave the gate, and then he wiped a cold sweat.

The corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a hint of pride, "Lord Xiao, although you are a peerless general, you are invincible on the battlefield, but above this court, you are still a little too tender......"

Zhao Rushen muttered leisurely, and immediately called a few servants.

"Go, you guys, immediately remove all those precious flowers and plants in the yard!"
