Song Huizong angrily dispersed and walked away, which showed that he was angry. The crown prince Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Gou fiercely, turned around and left, and said no more; Zhao Gou also turned a blind eye and did not hear it, and left with light steps.

Tong Guan was investigated, all the property was returned to the state treasury, and the 10,000 acres of land were checked again, and the crime was increased by one degree. These are all investigated by the Criminal Department, and the credit is still recorded on Zhao Gou's head. It was originally a reward, but it was diluted by Zhao Ji's anger.

After this battle, all the ministers of the DPRK and China were in danger and did not dare to offend Zhao Gou, for fear that they would embark on the road of Tong Guan. Everyone once again saw Zhao Gou's ruthlessness, and had to remain silent, and no one was talking behind his back.

Tong Guan's matter made the entire early dynasty full of anger, everyone was in danger, and those who were thieves did not dare to blatantly confront it, and Zhao Gou would never leave his hand. And they went down one after another, and returned to the house, and hid all the silver taels that were not visible.

Song Huizong was furious, the government and the opposition were shaken, and most of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty had ill-gotten gains, and they did not dare to commit crimes against the wind, especially Zhao Gou's ruthless methods, which he had already seen. Song Huizong was determined to investigate the matter thoroughly, and everyone was panicked for fear of provoking fire.

The crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu and others also recognized Song Huizong's determination, and did not dare to make mistakes, let alone disobey. After all, their behavior is not clean, so they can only let it go and dare not refute it. Zhao Gou, as the supervisor of the imperial history, provoked the ministers of the DPRK and China to avoid it, and did not dare to have a deep friendship with him, so as not to be targeted.

The fall of Tong Guan also made these people realize that Song Huizong was different from the past, and this whirlwind set off a chain reaction that was beyond Song Huizong's expectations, and it was reasonable. From the court to the local officials, everyone was in danger, and the people applauded.

At the same time, Song Huizong decreed: All officials who are corrupt and accept bribes and find evidence, no matter who they are, will be Ling Chi. If there is a traitor, the nine tribes will be punished.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty were shocked, and Song Huizong's unwavering attitude aroused everyone's suspicions, and the people did not know about the affairs of the court, and how the officials did not know, they knew it. The silver taels and fields that had been embezzled were all hidden, and they did not dare to expose themselves, let alone live in luxury.

After the dispersal of the court, Zhao Gou went to the prison alone, and the guards guarding the prison saw Zhao Gou coming, and greeted him one after another, and took the initiative to open the prison door and let Zhao Gou go. They hadn't seen Zhao Gou and heard about his deeds, and they admired it in their hearts, and some people had seen it, so they understood that something was wrong, so they let him go.

Tong wore a prison uniform, his hair was messy, and he looked out the window with a dull gaze, losing his former vigor and leaving his head down. Since entering the officialdom, Tong Guan has risen to prominence, helped Cai Jing win the prime minister, and received Cai Jing's feedback, recommended him to serve as the Northwest Supervisor, commanded the Privy Council, and was in charge of military power for more than ten years.

Cai Jing is the "public minister" and calls him the "concubine"!

Cai Jing fell, Tong Guan was implicated, but he was demoted but did not return to his hometown, nor was he assigned to the border pass, and he was one of the officials of Cai Jing's party who stayed in the capital to serve. Because Tong Guan was born as a eunuch, he stayed by Song Huizong's side in his early years, and he was good at figuring out people's hearts and being reused.

Song Huizong remembered the old feelings, but he was demoted but there was no other punishment, which can be described as exquisite. Tong Guan knew that Cai Jing's fall would inevitably have an impact on him, and then he took refuge in the rising star Gao Yu, and connected with the crown prince Zhao Huan, and the power returned to his hands, but he didn't want it all to be ruined in the hands of Zhao Gou.

Thinking of this, Tong Guan was furious, and remembered the extremely disappointed look on Song Huizong's face in the early dynasty, this anger has disappeared, everything can only be blamed on himself, and he also understands that he will not escape death tomorrow. was originally a beautiful self, but in a blink of an eye, he became a death row prisoner, which is embarrassing.

Zhao Gou was led by the guards to a separate cell, and when he looked up, he saw the silver-haired Tong Guan sitting on the haystack, looking up at the window. The guards opened the chains, and there was a rumbling sound, which provoked Tong Guan to turn around and look, and saw that the person who came was Zhao Gou, with strange eyes, and a feeling that he couldn't speak.

Tong Guan admires Zhao Gou's skills, not only him, but even Cai Jing can be regarded as falling into his hands, and he helps from it; He became a prisoner, everything was due to Zhao Gou, and he was a little angry when he thought of it; Thinking of the evidence in front of him, he couldn't argue, bowed his head and confessed his guilt, helpless in his heart, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's really rare, the ministers of the DPRK and China want to stay away from me, and the person who never thought of meeting at the end is the most unexpected, it's really ironic!"

Zhao Gou understood the meaning of his words, and did not answer, and asked directly to the point: "I came here today, and I want to ask about something." ”

Tong Guan looked at Zhao Gou in surprise and sneered: "What else does Lord Yushi not know, and he actually wants to ask me about a death row prisoner?" ”

"Your evidence is conclusive, indisputable, ironclad facts!" Zhao Gou said to himself, "I don't know the specific things yet, and I want to ask Master Tong!" ”

Tong Guan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! …… The Imperial Historian has already found evidence, but how can he not know what happened! ”

"I don't know!" Zhao Gou replied truthfully.

Tong Guan said coldly: "I don't know, please go back, adults!" ”

"I really don't know?" Zhao Gou looked at Tong Guan with burning eyes, and said loudly: "The disaster relief money back then was to relieve the people affected by the disaster and relieve the suffering of the people, but I don't want to be filled by you people. At that time, you were in charge of the Privy Council, and you had military power, and you didn't know it. ”

"Even if it's Cai Jing, it's just giving orders and taking charge of the regime, and the real military power is in your hands. At that time, the disaster relief money sent to the people was only one million taels, and most of it fell into the pockets of you people. Without your order, the team escorting the silver two arrived safely at the place, why did the silver two disappear? ”

"You found me to track down disaster relief funds?" Tong Guan frowned and expressed the doubts in his heart.

Zhao Gou nodded and said: "If it weren't for the investigation of what happened back then, how could it be traced back to you, you must know that Cai Jing is dead, there is no proof of death, even if there is real evidence, there is no way to convict him, only you are involved in this matter, it happens that you are insatiable, you are actually greedy for tens of millions of taels, your father is angry, and the people gather to revolt, everything is inseparable from your group of people!" ”

Tong Guan smiled bitterly, he thought that Zhao Gou was targeting him, or the emperor's decree, but he never thought that it would be such a result, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Yushi, if I say, we didn't get those silver taels at all, do you still think it has something to do with me?" ”

Zhao Gou was shocked: "You didn't take it?" ”

"This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to hide it!" Tong Guan said, "The two of us did participate in the disaster relief money, but it didn't reach us. At that time, after a long investigation, there was still no news, and then there was a flood, and the imperial court allocated funds several times, and we wanted to make a fortune from it, but the same situation still happened, and a total of 10 million taels of disaster relief funds disappeared. ”

Zhao Gou was stunned, he didn't expect things to be like this, it was not bad as he expected. Tong Guan's confession was also a coincidence, or it was done on purpose, these are just speculations. Zhao Gou tracked down the disaster relief funds, and the matter became more and more mysterious, and the whole thing became even more confusing.
