Zhao Qirui's grim gaze turned to Zuodao, "Who saved you?" ”

Zuo Dao hesitated for a long time, "It's Uncle Guo..."

"Jiang Zheng?" Zhao Qirui is not surprised, the queen's younger brother Jiang Zheng is a mud that can't support the wall. "And then?"

"After Uncle Guo rescued me, he asked me to sell illicit salt with him, he was responsible for dredging the government to avoid inspection, and I was responsible for transporting salt between the two places."

"Jiang Zheng has given you support and courage, say! How many catties of salt have been smuggled over the years? ”

Zuo Dao didn't dare to say the real number, but said a lot: "About 500 catties twice a month!" ”

Zhao Qirui threw a booklet in his hand into Zuo Dao's face, "Dare to fool this king?" ”

Zuo Dao shuddered, and saw that the booklet was a record of the ships going back and forth between the two places, and his heart was cold.

"Since Uncle Guo rescued me last year, I have been traveling three to four times a month, each time... About 2,000 catties per trip! After Zuo Dao finished speaking, he sat down on the ground.

Zhao Qirui calculated the number of shocking amounts, and his face was frosty in an instant.

"Those women were also arrested by Jiang Zheng?"

"Because there was too much smuggled salt, I didn't dare to let those coolies go out for fear of leaving the news, so Uncle Guo asked me to buy some women to be placed in the village to serve them, and also... Some were caught! "There will always be family contacts when you buy it, so it's better to rob it!

"This king will ask you one last thing, can this matter be related to the crown prince?"

Zuo Dao was stunned for a moment, he always thought that Uncle Guo dared to do this because he had the backer of the prince, listening to the meaning of King Rui's words, isn't it?

"I don't know the little one, it's always been Uncle Guo's relationship with the little one, and I haven't seen the prince!"

Zhao Qirui didn't say anything more, and escorted Zuo Dao's father and son back to prison. He tried the arrested county order yesterday, and he confessed that his uncle arranged for him to go there to be the county magistrate, and if the case involving Zuojiazhuang was involved, he would press it.

In this way, this matter may not have anything to do with Zhao Qizhen?

The case is almost tried, does it matter if you arrest Jiang Zheng first!

Zhao Qirui led people straight to the Guogong Mansion, who expected that Jiang Zheng was not in the mansion, and the subordinates were taken aback by this battle, and only said that they had entered the palace.

Entering the palace? I'm afraid that I know that the matter is revealed and go to seek refuge, Zhao Qirui will no longer delay, and rush to the palace to resume his life, this matter involves the Guogong Mansion or let Emperor Ming Yuan decide!

Uncle Guo was invited into the palace by the queen, and the queen listened to Shen Lianyue's words, if the prince was implicated in this matter, the gains outweighed the losses. Although Uncle Guo has committed a big crime, the emperor sees the great achievements made for him in the Guogong Mansion, and it is not difficult to save his life! As long as the prince does not fall, sooner or later he will be able to rescue him, and after weighing the pros and cons, the queen is ruthless.

Uncle Guo thought that the queen had thought of a solution before calling him, but who knew that the queen asked him to turn himself in and confess! He certainly didn't want to!

"Queen Mother, you can't ignore your brother, I'm your own brother!" Uncle Guo knelt on the ground and pleaded.

The queen couldn't bear it, and there was no other way, "I knew today, why bother in the first place!" There is no way around Hongu. ”

"Sister! Sister, you are such a younger brother as me, you can't be so ruthless! Thinking of the punishment he would face after pleading guilty to the law, Uncle Guo wept bitterly and begged the queen to save him.

"If you still want this palace to intercede for you and spare your life, go and confess and turn yourself in, once the prince inherits Datong, you will still be the uncle of the country! Otherwise, don't blame this palace for not thinking about family affection! After the queen finished speaking, she stopped looking at him, after all, he was a mother's compatriot, and he felt very uncomfortable!

Seeing that the queen was so resolute, Uncle Guo regretted not being at the beginning!

"Don't worry, as long as the prince doesn't fall, the Guogong Mansion will be the Guogong Mansion at any time, and the palace will take more care of it!"

"Sister, are you really helpless?"

"If anyone can save you, will this palace not save you? You committed that evil obstacle this time, how do you let this palace save you? The queen gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Good, good! I recognize it, I recognize it! But sister, you must find a way to save me as soon as possible, and the house... Alas! Uncle Guo sat on the ground, he knew that with only the queen and the crown prince, the Guogong Mansion would be fine!

"Queen Mother!" Zhao Qizhen hurriedly came, and said with a solemn face: "King Rui has entered the palace..."

"Quick! You took your uncle to meet your father! ”

Zhao Qizhen's heart was relieved, and he said those words to Shen Lianyue in vain.

"Go!" The queen urged.

Zhao Qizhen showed a look of embarrassment, "This..."

Uncle Guo got up from the ground and walked in front towards the main hall!

"Uncle, don't worry, if you have the opportunity, this palace will definitely save you!" Zhao Qizhen reassured.

Zhao Qizhen almost arrived at the main hall with Zhao Qirui, and Uncle Guo looked at Zhao Qirui with resentment.

Looking at this situation, this is to abandon the car to protect the handsome, Zhao Qirui sneered: "I don't want Uncle Guo and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over, so I will go to the king to arrest him!" ”

"Brother Wang has worked hard for the past two days, and my uncle now knows that he has committed an unforgivable sin, and he has come to confess!" After Zhao Qizhen finished speaking, he stepped into the main hall to meet the emperor.

Uncle Guo followed closely behind, and when he saw Emperor Ming Yuan, he knelt on the ground with a plop: "The sinner deserves to die!" Damn the sinners! ”

Emperor Ming Yuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the three people who came in almost together, and guessed why!

"Father, the son found out that the backer behind the salt seller is actually Uncle Guo!" Zhao Qirui spoke first about Jiang Zheng's crimes.

Emperor Ming Yuan heard this, and threw the fold in his hand over: "Bold Jiang Zheng, as a relative of the emperor, he knows the law and breaks the law!" ”

"The sinner deserves to die, the sinner has deceived those profiteers! The emperor forgives the sins! When Uncle Guo saw that the emperor was furious, he was immediately frightened and opened his mouth to quibble.

"Uncle Guo, the salt seller said that you took the initiative to find him, that is, the two of you are inconsistent, so it is better to call the salt seller to confront you!"

Zhao Qizhen gave Uncle Guo a look and recognized it. Now that the charges are conclusive, what room for sophistry!

"The sinner is confused, the sinner deserves to die!"

When Emperor Ming Yuan heard that this was a confession, he was furious: "Someone! Put this lawless bastard in prison and dispose of it according to the law! ”

That's what Zhao Qirui wants!

But Zhao Qizhen doesn't want to do this, if he is dealt with according to law, his uncle's life will be difficult to protect! The robe knelt down and pleaded: "My father is angry, although my uncle deserves death for his crimes!" But now that my uncle knows his mistake, he is willing to hand over all the silver he has earned over the years, and he hopes that his father will look at his grandfather's face and spare his life! ”

mentioned that Emperor Ming Yuan, the old prince of the country, was a little embarrassed, "If you have half a point from your father and brother, you will not do such an insulting thing as a bastard!" ”

Zhao Qirui listened to Emperor Ming Yuan as if he had room to maneuver, and he was unwilling. "If the uncle of the country is guilty of selling smuggled salt, it will be fine, but those innocent victims, their parents and brothers want this king to give them an explanation..."

"Even a human life?" Emperor Ming Yuan and Zhao Qizhen also learned about it, and they were all shocked.

"A total of six innocent women were killed by them, and more than a dozen women were subjected to inhuman torture all day long, if they were not rescued in time, I am afraid they would not have survived for a few days!" Zhao Qirui remembered these things said by the woman with big eyes, it was outrageous!

"Wronged! Emperor! This matter has nothing to do with the sinner, the sinner doesn't know! King Rui, you are showing favoritism! "Jiang Zheng is not stupid, if he is involved in human life, he will be in trouble!
