Liu Lane didn't misunderstand Duanwang, while he falsely accused King Jing, Duanwang was also carrying out his own actions.

…………

Zhao Ben, the Qing of Honglu Temple, was originally a native of Youzhou, and when he was a teenager, he offended the powerful because of his family, and fled to the Northern Jin Dynasty with his father and settled in a county near Gyeonggi.

Later, Zhao Ben relied on the imperial examination to enter the office, because he was upright, capable, and quite famous, and later went all the way up, and became the Honglu Temple Qing of the third grade at the age of more than 50 years.

Honglu Temple, one of the five temples of the imperial court, is in charge of the court, guests, auspicious and evil ceremonies.

All the country's major ceremonies, suburban temples, sacrifices, court meetings, feasts, feasts, canonizations, calendars, springs, transmissions, performances, and pilgrimages of foreign officials are also under the management of Honglu Temple.

In this way, although Honglu Temple is not as powerful as the six imperial history platforms and other powerful departments, but it is also an unusual small yamen, Zhao Ben is the chief official of Honglu Temple, which can be called a small Jiuqing, and among the civil officials, it also belongs to a more important one.

It's a pity that now that the collusion with pirates has occurred, Zhao Siqing, who was noble and elegant in the past, has been imprisoned, and when people mention him in the future, I am afraid that they will be spurned.

Falling from heaven to dust, Zhao Ben himself was sad and sad, not to mention, the most wronged was actually his younger brother Zhao Shan.

Zhao Ben and Zhao Shan's father, Mr. Zhao, has no heirs, and has only two sons in his life, the eldest son Zhao Ben is the son-in-law, and the second son Zhao Shan is the concubine.

Although the Zhao family fled to the Northern Jin Dynasty, they were still a big family when they were in Youzhou, and they attached more importance to the distinction between the two brothers, because the treatment of the two brothers was very different from that they were young.

Master Zhao was fine when he was here, in the end he was his own son, although Zhao Shan was not as valued as Zhao Ben, but at least the food, clothing, housing and transportation were quite appropriate.

But after Old Man Zhao went, the Zhao family was later under the control of Zhao Ben's mother, Mrs. Zhao, and Zhao Shan's life was miserable.

Thinking about it, it is also clear that the mother-in-law of the main house, it is extremely rare to be good to the concubine, to be fair, and not to be deliberately harsh, but unfortunately Mrs. Zhao does not have this mind.

She almost didn't even have a face for Zhao Shan, when she was a teenager, she often found fault and blamed Zhao Shan, and when Zhao Shan became an adult, she was kicked out, and the family property was two silver, and nothing was given to this concubine.

Fortunately, there were clansmen who fled with Mr. Zhao back then, and they couldn't stand Zhao Shan being starved to death by his mother-in-law, so they helped out, forcing Mrs. Zhao to divide the family of Zhao Ben and Zhao Shan's brothers, so that Zhao Shan could get some life money.

After that, Zhao Shan relied on these funds to buy some farm shops for income, and studied hard by himself, and even took the test to make a name for himself.

Later, Zhao Shan was lucky, and he made up for the official vacancy with a person, and became an eight-grade petty official, because of the office profit, he entered the eyes of the officials and was promoted.

Because of the harsh abuse of Mrs. Zhao back then, Zhao Shan hated the Zhao family deeply, although he was an official in Gyeonggi, he almost did not interact, until Mrs. Zhao died, Zhao Ben went straight to the top, and Zhao Shan was persuaded by his wife to re-establish contact with Zhao Ben, the brother-in-law.

However, despite this, Zhao Shan's heart knot has not disappeared, and his relationship with Zhao Ben is mediocre, except for sending some gifts during the New Year's holidays, he rarely goes to Zhao Ben's door.

According to Zhao Shan's own meaning, although Zhao Ben is his own brother, in his heart, he is an ordinary relative, not even an ordinary relative.

But now he didn't expect that Zhao Ben committed a crime, and the court held him accountable, and even his own family was involved.

God is pitiful, since he was kicked out of the house by Mrs. Zhao back then, when did he treat Zhao Ben as a brother, but the court didn't care, although the two brothers Zhao Ben and Zhao Shan had long been separated, the blood relationship was still there.

It's just an ordinary petty crime, and it really can't be related to Zhao Shan, the brother of the family, but now that the emperor has approved Zhao Ben for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the crime implicates the nine clans, so Zhao Shan, the younger brother, will never escape.

On the day that Emperor Liyang issued the order to take him into custody, Zhao Shan listened to the explanation of the official who came to arrest him, and he hated him in his heart, and scolded Zhao Ben for harming people and implicating innocent relatives.

Before the officials took people, they also had a brief understanding of this Zhao Gongcao, and they had a rough idea of the grievances and hatreds between him and his brother Zhao Ben, so they were very sympathetic to him, and they waited for Zhao Shan to scold him before he was shackled.

After being sent to the prison, the officials also intimately locked Zhao Shan next to Zhao Ben.

Originally, he wanted to lock the brothers together, but when the leader saw Zhao Shan's violent state, he was afraid that this Zhao Gongcao would bite Zhao Ben to death again, so he was divided into two prisons to take care of him.

Sure enough, let the leader guess correctly, Zhao Shan was put in prison, and when he saw Zhao Ben, who had harmed his whole family in prison, his eyes were red, and he pounced on him and scolded him.

That posture, if there was no wooden railing in the prison to stop him, he would have been able to eat Zhao Ben alive.........

…………

It's the same today, when he got up early in the morning, Zhao Shan looked at Zhao Ben who woke up, and immediately began to greet him uncleanly, and when he was tired of scolding, he didn't rest, he squatted in front of the wooden railing, staring at Zhao Ben tightly with his two eyes as if they were quenched, which was terrifying.

However, Zhao Ben was stared at by him for a few days, and he had long been used to it, so he turned his head, turned his back, and avoided himself.

It didn't take long for the officials of the Three Law Divisions to interrogate Zhao Ben as usual, and Zhao Ben was escorted out of the prison, and only Zhao Shan and a few scattered prisoners were left in the cell.

Zhao Shanxian was bored, so he relied on his luck in the corner of the wall and waited for Benben to return and scold again.

However, not long after he sat down, he heard a burst of footsteps stop in front of him, and as soon as Zhao Shan looked up, he was a strange white-faced young man, dressed in ordinary clothes, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Lord Zhao, it's hard work."

Zhao Shan frowned, looked left and right consciously, and found that the scattered prisoners in the prison next to him had disappeared unconsciously, and his heart suddenly sank, and he asked cautiously.

"Honorable driver?"

The white-faced young man smiled kindly: "The contemptible man is surnamed Wang, and he works in Duanwang's Mansion." ”

The people of Duanwang?

Zhao Shan's eyes moved slightly, he staggered to his feet and arched his hand, and asked with some temptation: "It turned out to be Mr. Wang, forgive Zhao for being stupid, I don't know why you are here now?" ”

The young man surnamed Wang smiled: "The contemptible people are here to save the lives of Lord Zhao's family." ”

When Zhao Shan heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, and he looked at the young man surnamed Wang excitedly, and grabbed the wooden fence tightly with both hands, because of the excitement, green tendons even burst out from the tiger's mouth.

"Sir, this is true, isn't he framing me?"

The young man surnamed Wang shook his head: "I don't think I'm so boring, I'm not afraid to tell Lord Zhao the truth, this contemptible person is on the order of King Duan, and I came here to discuss and plan a matter with Lord Zhao."

King Duan agreed, it was done, the adult's life was not guaranteed, the family still had a certain hope of escaping the death penalty, no matter how bad it was, the adult's children and grandchildren could not get out, and King Duan would also send these innocent women, leaving the adult's two bloodlines to survive. ”

Although there is no real guarantee, when it comes to the sake, Duanwang's sincerity is still very sufficient.

Zhao Shan's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he thought for a moment: "What does King Duan want to let the criminal minister do?" ”

The young man surnamed Wang smiled brightly: "I heard that Lord Zhao and Shi Pengzi, the head of King Jing's mansion, are not sons and daughters, I don't know if there has been any contact between Brother Ling and King Jing." ”

Zhao Shan's eyes flashed, he was able to go from being a concubine who was thrown out to be a six-grade gong cao of Jingzhao Mansion, naturally he was not a fool.

Almost as soon as the young man surnamed Wang finished speaking, he understood what King Duan meant.

He wants to tie himself up with Zhao Ben, and then climb his in-law Peng Ziqi, so as to pull King Jing into the troubled waters of collusion with pirates.

Zhao Shan showed a sneer on his face: "Mr. Wang, you can know that although Zhao Ben and I are not as powerful as fire and water, we are almost inseparable from each other. ”

"It doesn't matter if outsiders believe it or not."

The young man surnamed Wang shook his head: "There is no need for Lord Zhao to worry about this matter, you only answer, you should not be in this matter." ”

Zhao Shan hesitated, if he climbed King Jing, not to mention whether he could succeed or not, he would definitely not be able to live with the daughter of the Peng family, but King Duan promised to let him keep his bloodline, it was the incense of the Zhao family, so he couldn't think about it too much.

The young man surnamed Wang saw that Zhao Shan hesitated, his face was full of confusion, and he couldn't help but urge.

"In the end, whether this matter should be done or not, please make a decision quickly, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, and the people outside will find that this place is abnormal, and it is difficult to cover it up."

It's good that he didn't say this, but when he said it, he reminded Zhao Shan: "King Duan is so entrusted, he is not afraid that I will bite him back, after all, if I tell King Jing about this, he has a favor from Zhao, and he can also help save my Zhao family's children and grandchildren, and even be more dedicated." ”

The young man surnamed Wang stroked his palms and laughed, and said bluntly: "Lord Zhao is too worried, since King Duan is looking for you, he will naturally be well arranged, and it is good for you to cooperate wholeheartedly, if you want to do bad things, I am afraid that before the words reach the outside world, you will die of a violent illness." ”

Zhao Shan understood, nodded, and said abruptly: "Since it shouldn't be a death, why should Mr. bother asking, just give it a direct order." ”

"What's that?"

The young man surnamed Wang disagreed: "King Duan is sincerely cooperating with adults, and he also hopes that adults can do their best to help, how can he speak coercively, don't take the contemptible words to heart just now, it's just a reminder."

Duan Wang is benevolent, he has always been reluctant to do things, if the adult is dedicated to doing things for Duan Wang, this kind of pickling trick will definitely not be used on you. ”

The words of the young man surnamed Wang were both soothing and beating, and faintly with a little warning, which made Zhao Shan involuntarily feel a sense of awe in his heart for King Duan.

He lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "If you can, can King Duan pull the second daughter of the criminal minister in the future, I'm sorry for her as a father." ”

Zhao Shan's second daughter is the one who married into the Peng family, and when he said this, he obviously responded to this matter.

A happy look appeared on the face of the young man surnamed Wang: "Don't worry, Lord Zhao, we will compensate Ling Qianjin as much as possible." ”

Zhao Shan nodded: "What is the specific role of King Duan, how do you want the criminal ministers to cooperate, Mr. said it together, Zhao Shan will definitely do his best." ”

The young man surnamed Wang nodded, leaned over to Zhao Shan's ear, and explained in a low voice, Zhao Shan silently remembered in his heart, and nodded from time to time.

About half an hour later, the young man surnamed Wang left, and Zhao Shan sat on the haystack of the prison, combing the matter in his heart, and the prison next to him unconsciously returned to its original state.........
