Li Qian's series of designs finally forced Zhao Peng into a desperate situation step by step, and this is just the beginning, it is difficult to say what kind of fierce killing moves he will use in the future, so that the Zhao family will be completely destroyed------

People have inertial thinking, and Su He is no exception, he inevitably fell into a kind of thinking misunderstanding, and always felt that his identity as a prisoner of the country was too strange, and it was difficult to say that he was not calculated by Li Qian.

In other words, he intuitively felt that this was the other party's revenge, which not only took Zhao Peng's fame, but also threw the pot on the head of the Su family, making the Zhao family think that the Su family had also contributed to this matter, and it was even very likely that he had already secretly colluded with Li Qian------ and then, Li Qian, the person who laid out the layout, was happy to see it come true, and sat back and watched the Su and Zhao families turn against each other, fight you to the death, and beat your brains------

Insidious, too insidious!

Su He couldn't sit still, he originally wanted to go to Zhao Peng to explain clearly, and then continued to watch the situation as a bystander, but after learning that Zhao Peng was interrogated again, he immediately realized that he could no longer stay out of the matter.

Either stand up in solidarity with the Zhao family with a clear banner, or change the banner and join Li Qian, otherwise no matter which side withdraws its hand, he will face a catastrophe.

Now the situation has gradually become clear, and everyone can see that the Zhao family has fallen into a decline that cannot save itself, and I am afraid that by the time Zhao Liangchang comes back from Beijing, the Zhao family will be gone, and it is likely that the official who will greet him at the dock will be the official who handled the case------

Therefore, after much consideration, Su He chose the latter and resolutely decided to fall to Li Qian's side.

The trees are scattered, and it is not just the Su family who has defected. When the news of Zhao Peng's fame being revolutionized spread, and the Qiantang County government once again opened a court to question the case, the yamen at all levels remained silent for the first time and no longer inquired about the progress of the case.

Li Qian's goal has been achieved, but the matter is far from over, and a case of kidnapping alone is not enough to bring down the Zhao family.

However, you can't become a big fat man by eating in one bite, the plan must be implemented step by step, and the most important thing at the moment is naturally to confirm Zhao Peng's crime, as for the future------ Zhao family has colluded with the government over the years, and there are countless violations of law and discipline, although they cover it up very well, but it will not be too difficult to find out one or two things, but the time is not yet ripe.

In fact, Su He's abandonment of darkness and surrender to light was completely unexpected, it was not part of the previous plan at all------ Li Qian was also happy to hug the grass and beat the rabbit, and easily pulled him onto the thief ship, so that he could know more about the dirty things that the Zhao family had done.

With the information provided by Su He, it will naturally be easier than before to uncover the bad debts under the Zhao family's ass. However, the usability value of this person is not too big, and he doesn't know much about the core secrets, after all, the person who is close to him is Xiao Zhao, not Lao Zhao.

Not surprisingly, when Li Qian broke through all kinds of interference factors in the outside world, Wang Zhixian was also quite handy in handling the case, and the progress was extremely smooth.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Qian got the news that after the trial, Zhao Peng was imprisoned for his crime and was taken into custody by the county government. Of course, this person is also very hard-mouthed, and Miki can only let go, admitting that those murderers were indeed hired by him, so he kidnapped the pair of maids of the Li family.

After tossing for so long, Zhao Peng finally confessed to his crime, but the hidden danger still exists. In such cases, the confession obtained by torture is very unreliable, and if there is an accident in the future, there is an external force involved, and the criminal is very likely to bite back and overturn all previous confessions------

In this way, it seems that Li Qian is digging a pit for himself. But this is also a purely helpless move, as long as Zhao Peng is not imprisoned for a day, it will be difficult to carry out the follow-up plan, because because of the power of the Zhao family, no one dares to stand up and identify the various crimes they have committed before.

Only by building momentum and creating an illusion of the Zhao family's sunset can we attract more people who like to fall into the well, as well as those who have really been bullied by them.

Such a means has also proved to be effective. When Li Qian put Zhao Peng in prison, many people finally began to believe that he had the ability to bring down such a behemoth as the Zhao family.

However, the downfall of the Zhao family is also related to the lives of many people.

In between, no one dares to guarantee that they will not be implicated, and those who do not collude with it deeply want to protect the Zhao family, but they are worried that they will fall into the quagmire and will not be able to get out, so there will be this scene of collective silence.

In the final analysis, it is still the intention of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and only Tao Sheng and Yao Chun, the two old foxes, did not let this situation be frightened away.

The fact is that it is useless for them to retreat, once something happens to the Zhao family, they will inevitably bear the brunt of it, and they will not be able to escape the involvement, and there will be no luck.

However, these two people are also in no hurry to express their stance now, because they know that they can't change the fact that Zhao Peng's reputation was taken away, so they can only start from this case.

In the Tianzihao private room of Pinxiang Pavilion, two officials in civilian clothes retreated left and right, discussing specific contingency plans.

There is no way, the Zhao family is currently unable to save themselves, Tao Sheng and Yao Chun, as the escorts of the Zhao family in the officialdom, are categorically unable to stand by and watch, seeing the Zhao family going to perdition and not reaching out to help.

This is not to say that they are very righteous, it is purely that the interests of each other are too deeply entangled, and they can't even get rid of it------ neither of them is sure that once Zhao Yuanwai is convicted, will he confess all the secrets related to them because he can't bear the punishment, including the design to kill the former inspector.

And all this may be the result that the person standing behind Li Qian, Song Zhong, wants to get.

The two agreed that the real leader of this incident was not Li Qian, but Song Zhong! In other words, it is very likely that Song Zhong is a drunkard, and perhaps in their plan, the Zhao family is just a breakthrough.

The real purpose is to crack this big case in Hangzhou officialdom!

This is not a guess out of thin air, judging from Jinyiwei's intelligence penetration ability, it is not uncommon to find out a Zhao Liangchang. If you want to go deeper, it is these big people who can be found out by the vine------

"My lord, we can't wait and see like this anymore!" Yao Chun said with a palpitating face: "All kinds of signs show that this is simply a set of serial plans, we must do everything we can to protect the Zhao family, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" ”

Tao Sheng naturally agreed with this, and only lightly bowed his head and said, "Not bad!" I can also see that the hand they play is not simple, it is interlocking, and they have unconsciously pushed people into a desperate situation, and if they don't stop it, I'm afraid that the next step will involve us. ”

"Well, in your opinion------"

"The Zhao family, you must be saved!"

"How can I save it?"

"------" Tao Shengxin said, I want to know that I still need to come here to discuss with you? It's long overdue to save someone!

"Ahem------ coughed lightly a little embarrassedly, and then he stroked his slightly gray beard with one hand, looked at Yao Chun and said slowly: "What is the high opinion of Governor Yao?" ”

"Well------ this" Yao Chun was asked for a while, and he hesitated for a long time before he had to open his mouth: "I have thought of a few countermeasures before, but after careful consideration, I always feel that it is not appropriate------

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Yes." Governor Yao froze, and then said, "Why don't we come forward in person and take over this case from Wang Lun?" In this way, the situation is no longer so passive. ”

Hearing this, Tao Sheng slowly shook his head and said, "It's really inappropriate!" This case has been tried until now, it is nothing more than a crime of kidnapping, it is not a serious case, if we forcibly intervene in it at this time, not to mention being criticized, Wang Lun, that nerd, will definitely not agree------ even if this lip service is fought before the royal driver, we are not reasonable, and it is easy to arouse suspicion, it is not the best policy! ”

"Yes, it is precisely because of this concern that the lower officials did not dare to intervene in this case rashly." Governor Yao nodded repeatedly.

"So, do you have a good plan?"

"There's another plan, but it's just that the soldiers are dangerous------"

"Oh?" Tao Sheng frowned, "Let's hear it." ”

Governor Yao didn't speak again, only raised his right hand mysteriously, put it to his neck and gestured, and Tao Sheng understood.

"Are you saying that ------ take the medicine according to the prescription and give Li Qian a hand too?"

"Definitely!" Yao Chun shook his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "If you want to do something absolutely and kill, you can't just kill one Li Qian, you can't even get rid of Song Zhong with you!" ”

"No! Never! Tao Sheng didn't expect that this person was so ruthless, it was not enough for Jinyi Wei to kill once, and he actually planned to draw a gourd like this again, do you want to have your head left?

"There are some things that can never be done again, Song Zhong, you can't kill them!"

"My lord------" The corners of Governor Yao's mouth twitched, revealing a bitter smile. "In fact, you and I can't decide this matter------"

"What do you mean by that?" Tao Sheng was shocked, and instantly felt like he was being pitted.

"Long before, the surname Zhao had already killed Li Qian and others, if it weren't for the hard persuasion of the lower officials at that time, I'm afraid they would have done it a long time ago, but this time ------" Yao Chun sighed and said: "Li Qian's repeated provocations, I'm afraid that the little scruple in Zhao Chengcheng's heart has already made him agitated." ”

"------" Tao Sheng was completely panicked this time, these magistrates really don't know whether they are alive or dead, they dare to repeatedly provoke the majesty of the Son of Heaven, they are ignorant and fearless, and they have not really seen the dragon power of Hong Wuye!

As soon as he thought of the dragon face on the dragon court, which was white and not angry, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't sit still for a moment.

"No! Absolutely not! We must not let them succeed, otherwise you and I are in a critical situation------ this surnamed Zhao is really damned, who gave him the courage to dare to murder the court officials again and again------"

Tao Sheng kept pacing back and forth in the room uneasily, looking very flustered, and even the words that came out of his mouth seemed a little incoherent.

Seeing this, Yao Chun hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with you and me, if it really happens, we can also clear ourselves-------

Syllable!

Before he finished speaking, Tao Sheng had already turned around and slapped the table case heavily, angrily scolding.

"Nonsense! Do you think it's just a three-year-old's playhouse? The person who died was a dignified son of heaven's own army, rampant in the government and the opposition for several years, and the Jinyi guard who made the public of the Manchu Dynasty and the government frightened! There is also that Li Qian, he is the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, and he goes deep into the emperor's heart, otherwise just with the movements he made, he would have issued an edict to ask others to be punished! Yao Chun, let me tell you, the weight of these two in the heart of the saint is not much lighter than the officialdom of Hangzhou! Do you think we can easily dissociate ourselves from each other? ”

"This ------" Governor Yao was speechless for a while.

In fact, he also thought that the matter was more serious, but the points he could think of were too simple, so he mistakenly thought that as long as he was careful and cautious, he could sit back and relax------ but now seeing Lord Zhentai's reaction like this, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation, which may be far from being as light as he thought.

Yao Chun's lips squirmed a few times before he asked with difficulty: "My lord, why don't I immediately go back and mobilize my manpower and patrol the perimeter of Deqingfang day and night to deter them, so as not to make rash moves in that cult?" ”

"This method is feasible, but it is far from deterring! Li Qian has been living in seclusion recently, but he can save his life for the time being, but on Song Zhong's side, even if he is good at kung fu, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape the plot. ”

"That's ------ according to the eyes of adults"

"Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!"

Tao Sheng's face gradually returned to calm, and he gave an order coldly.

"Urgently issue an official document ordering Qiantang and Renhe counties to immediately mobilize three classes of government officials and inspect the territory to assist the government officials and officials in Hangzhou and Hangzhou to go all out to hunt down and suppress the lawless cult elements, but all suspicious people will be arrested and interrogated in detail!" As the words fell, a sneer gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Within two days, they will come to the door and beg for mercy."

Zhao Liangchang started to transport tax grain into Beijing, along the waterway canal out of the Suzhou-Hangzhou section, through Wuxi, Changzhou, Danyang to Zhenjiang, and then diverted into the Yangtze River, straight to Jiangning Mansion. Since the ships were full of grain, it was naturally not too fast when sailing, so it took half a month of hard work to reach the imperial capital of Jinling, and the journey of transporting grain was finally completed.

At this time, Zhao Yuanwai did not know how the situation in Hangzhou had evolved, although he had left people behind before his trip to pay close attention to the progress of the situation, and the news was not conveyed so quickly.

After arriving in the capital, he first went to the household department to hand in the errand, and then under the supervision of two warehouse ambassadors and a cadre of household subordinates, he unloaded the ship to count the tax grain and enter the warehouse, which was considered to be a successful completion of the errand.

After such a toss, it was a full delay of a day and a night, and when he rested for half a day, and was about to visit his cousin, someone happened to come from Hangzhou.

However, it was really bad news that came to him, no less than a bolt from the blue.

"What do you say? My son was stripped of his reputation and put in prison?!! ”

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Zhao Yuanwai was furious, and immediately threw the teacup in his hand out. "What a Li Qian! What a king! Good, good, good, all of you are very good! This account, I Zhao someone wrote it down! ”

It's no wonder that he will be furious, his son's fame has been dismissed, and the road to his career has been cut off, not to mention, he is still in a cage, and he may be convicted at any time, or encounter an accident, how can you teach Zhao Yuanwai not to be angry?

The dignified food chief's family, the local hero, and the distant relatives of the courtiers, have been bullied to such an extent, which is the first time in many years. This time, the Zhao family really lost face.

After roaring, Zhao Yuanwaiqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and asked coldly: "When I was leaving, I asked you to pay close attention to the movements of the Li family's courtyard, so how is Li Qian's current situation?" ”

The subordinate hugged his fists respectfully and said: "Li Qian rarely goes out, and occasionally travels, he also carries a number of entourages with him, and the guards are not half a step away, and it is difficult for others to get close. ”

"Oh, I'm very vigilant!"

Reaching an agreement with Pan Ning and arranging for someone to assassinate Li Qian is still a very secret matter after all, and it is not appropriate to divulge anything, so Zhao Yuanwai just sneered, and then stopped saying more about this matter, and instead asked about the movements in the officialdom.

Not surprisingly, most people chose to wait and see, and even Tao Zhentai and Yao Zhifu, who had always been the closest to the Zhao family, had an unclear attitude, which really made him a little resentful.

However, he also knew that those two people were old foxes who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, and it was normal for them not to help when they were unsure, but because of their many involvement with themselves, they should not stand idly by------ if he knew that the two officials who were originally planning to help him resolutely chose to do their best to prevent things from happening after making it clear that they were planning to take the lives of Li Qian and others, I don't know how he would feel?

There is only so much news that can be learned for the time being, Zhao Yuanwai finally realized the terrible thing about Li Qian, and he actually took advantage of his entry into Beijing to kill the Zhao family?

Although the current situation seems to be very bad, it can be saved, after all, he entered Beijing in advance this time just to move the backer, so as long as Wang Zhixian finds out that there are not enough things, his son can be a little more aggressive, grit his teeth and hold on for a few more days, and he should be able to rush back.

The most important thing at the moment is, of course, to hurry up and find my uncle to put out the fire.

So he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare the car, and under the waiting of his personal maid, he hurriedly arranged the crown belt, and then went straight to the mansion of the household servant of the dynasty.
