On the seventh day of June in the second year of Xining, Hangzhou ushered in a new day!

Last night's rebellion has ended, the mastermind Zhao Shiju and his wife have killed themselves, and the first accomplice Li Feng has been arrested. The rebels were arrested, put in prison, strictly guarded, and waited for their fate!

Overnight, the battlefield was cleaned in a bit of a hurry, but it was still as hasty as possible. At least the gates of the city, as well as the streets where the street battles took place, were cleaned up, and the bodies were all pulled out of the city for burial, and the blood stains were almost washed away.

Last night, the shouting and killing shook the sky, and the people of Hangzhou were so frightened that they stayed at home until dawn and did not dare to go out. It was not until noon that the brave men came out and found that there was nothing wrong with it, except that there were more officers and soldiers patrolling the streets. Immediately, the whole city returned to normal life.

Zheng Zheng, as the governor of the state, quickly presided over the handling of the aftermath, he will be in a hurry, deal with as many things as possible and make up for his previous mistakes! Lin Zhao was so happy that he threw all these things to him.

When such a big thing happened, the first thing was to report to the emperor that before dawn, a piece of music jointly signed by Zheng Zheng, Shen Kuo, and Lin Zhao had been sent to Bianjing as soon as possible.

"Dongyang, you have worked hard, what, you are injured?" As soon as Shen Kuo saw Lin Zhao, he stepped forward and asked with concern, if there was no Lin Zhao this time, the consequences would be so serious that it was hard to believe.

"It's okay, don't worry!" Under that kind of fierce battle, skin and flesh injuries are inevitable.

"Zhao Shiju and his wife are dead?"

"Well, kill yourself!" I don't know why, Zhao Shiju's dying expression kept coming to mind, and Lin Zhao always felt that it seemed to have something to do with him. Immediately shook his head slightly, the royal family dispute, and he has a half-dime relationship!

"Alas, things come and go quickly!" Shen Kuo sighed, and said it carefully, the real conflict was the matter of this night.

"But there are a lot of things to deal with the aftermath, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome!" Lin Zhao said: "Please keep an eye on the middle brother, especially Zhao Zongyong's father and son, their affairs have not yet been settled!" ”

"Okay!" Shen Kuo was a visiting envoy to Liangzhejiang Road, and there was a case of rebellion and major illegal salt trafficking, and his intervention was completely reasonable. Now, which of the officials on the ground in Hangzhou is not afraid of three points!

"I'm going to find Brother Zizhan, it seems that there is still a hard bone!"

Shen Kuo said: "That's right, the huge amount of treasure in the palace, you have to figure it out!" "This sudden appearance of wealth has really blinded many people's eyes.

"That's right!" Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Two prongs, you go and ask Li Feng, and I'll get Chen Qi!" "After ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Su Shi came back, he learned about the situation in the city last night, and learned that Lin Zhao was the first soldier to fight bloodily, and he was afraid. Fortunately, it was safe and sound, and the rebellion was successfully extinguished. As for Zhao Shiju and his wife, people can't help but sigh.

"Dongyang, it's okay if you're okay!" Su Shi patted Lin Zhao on the shoulder, revealing a happy smile, so last night could be regarded as a big victory.

Lin Zhao said: "Brother Zizhan, how is Chen Qi's situation?" ”

"In a village by the canal, tens of thousands of quintals of sea salt were initially found, and Chen Qi was directing the loading of the ship at that time, and the stolen goods were captured, and he was running!" Su Shi's harvest this time is not small, at least this time, the network of selling illicit salt in Hangzhou can be regarded as destroyed.

"That's a lot of money!" Lin Zhao said: "But maybe it's just the tip of the iceberg, he has a small county order, and he can make such a big network, and he may not have the guts alone, so this matter ......"

Su Shi and Lin Zhao exchanged a look, they both knew each other about this matter, and they just tacitly knew it!

"So, you must hurry up and let Chen Qi speak!" Lin Zhao said that there was a key matter, he didn't want to delay any longer, it was naturally best to find evidence as soon as possible and bring down Zhao Zongyong's father and son.

"But since he was arrested, he has behaved very calmly, and he doesn't speak at all when he asks anything!" Su Shi also has difficulties, what can you do when you encounter this uncooperative character?

Lin Zhao couldn't help frowning, this is not a good phenomenon, he has to think of a way. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Can you find that Chen Qi has anything in particular to care about?" What do you care about? Or is there anything special about it?

"This ......," Su Shi muttered, "I didn't find it...... By the way, according to the confession of the arrested servant of the Chen family, Chen Qi has always remembered his son and has been looking around! ”

Chen Hong? Lin Zhao then remembered that this guy had already died on Lei Feng! Although he didn't do it himself, it was not clear to say this matter, Chen Qi couldn't believe it, maybe he would stubbornly put this matter on his head, and it would be even more difficult to get him to speak, it was really nerve-wracking!

Especially let him know that his son is dead, there is no hope, and it is a question of whether he can still live. Fortunately, he doesn't know about Chen Hong's death yet, so he can use his brains in this matter and think of a way!

That's right! After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhao finally had a flash of inspiration in his mind!

"Brother Zizhan, let me tell you, ...... like this"

"Didn't you say you were going to close some safe house? Why ...... now" Su Shi was puzzled!

Previously, because of Chen Qi's special identity and importance, he was afraid that something would happen in the prison of the state capital. Therefore, Lin Zhao adopted the so-called safe house practice in the spy war drama of later generations, and originally planned to let Su Shi detain him in a house outside the city. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao suddenly changed his mind...... "Don't worry, Brother Zizhan, when the time comes, how can you do it without using some little tricks?" ”

Chen Qi was then imprisoned in the Hangzhou government office, but his treatment was significantly different, and he was held in solitary confinement. At the moment, when Hangzhou Prison is overcrowded, this is definitely a special treatment.

Su Shi has been interrogated several times, but there has been no progress, and nothing has been asked.

Of course, Chen Qi knew what they wanted to ask, but whether or not to say it now, and how to say it, was another matter! If you get the stolen goods, you are finished, but what will happen to some people outside, let's talk about it!

Now he is most concerned about his son, there has been no news for a long time, especially in such a chaotic time, how can he not worry?

Safety is one thing, and these are all things he has to think about in his future life. After all, this is the last time to plan for his son.

He thinks that he can take what he has in his hands and talk to certain people about the conditions, who gives the highest price, and who is cheaper!

Therefore, he did not dare to be rash, he had to be cautious!

When Su Shi was a stand-in, he never said anything, he was waiting, as long as he was interested in someone, he would definitely contact him. At the same time, he has always remembered his son in his heart, and his appearance is quite calm, but his heart is actually full of sorrow and concern.

For three days, he was held in a cell, and every time a jailer came to deliver food, and then left! Until the third day, when the jailer delivered the meal, he left a small cloth bag in addition to the unpalatable meal!

Chen Qi knew that someone gave it to him, but he didn't know what price the other party offered!

With a nervous mood, he quietly opened the cloth bag, and when something came into view, Chen Qi was suddenly shocked. It was his son's jade pendant, which he had always worn deeply, and the token could not be wrong. That is, the son is now in the hands of this man. Immediately, he found another note, a simple sentence: If you want to be Hongan, you should know how!

Threats, naked threats!

I was worried that it would come true, and the thing I was most worried about all along, was that my son would fall into the hands of others, and now it seems inevitable.

At the same time, he secretly blamed himself, at this time he was still lucky and whimsical. Before, he hoped to use what he had in his hand to blackmail, or to ask someone to give his son peace and prosperity. Now I found out that people will do the same, directly threatening themselves with their son's life and death!

What to do?

If you hand over your son, you will die, if you don't hand it over, will Chen Hong be able to live?

Chen Qi fell into a huge entanglement for a while! It is self-evident who sent this letter, and you can think of it with your toes. In fact, it's not that there are no other possibilities, it's just that he cares about it and is messy, so preconceived that he doesn't think much about it at all.

As soon as he thought of what those people had done, he was untrustworthy and ruthless, and Chen Qi didn't dare to think about it anymore. I can't help but cry out in my heart; Son, why don't you be obedient and go out of the house? If he sends you away safely, what else does Daddy have to worry about?

In the next two days, it was still calm, and Su Shi was never arraigned. But it is obvious that Chen Qi is no longer so calm, he can't sit still, and the panic in his heart can no longer be hidden, and it has been manifested in his behavior. At this moment, he even had a kind of hope, hoping that Su Shi would be arraigned.

In fact, for him, what he hopes most is to get information from the outside world!

Chen Qi didn't know that someone paid attention to all his reactions, and then reported them to Lin Zhao and Su Shi!

"Brother Zizhan, it's almost time!" Seeing this, Lin Zhao made such a judgment!

"Oh?" Su Shi now also understands Lin Zhao's approach and is quite interested in it.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Timing is only one aspect, the key is to drag it out any longer, then the corpse should stink, and there will be no way to see people!" Speaking of which, you still have to suffer some grievances! ”

"Okay!"

Su Shi immediately announced the arraignment of Chen Qi, and the former Chen County Order was already haggard, and everyone else was afraid of it, and he was a little excited at this moment. Of course, he has been trying his best to hide his true emotions, but all the time it has been just self-deception!

"Chen Qi, do you have anything to say?" Su Shi still asked.

There was no expected silence today, and Chen Qi said seemingly casually: "What do you say?" Is the prison cell of Hangzhou Prefecture not as good as Qiantang County? Why didn't my family come to deliver anything, were you holding it down? ”

He really couldn't hide the anxiety in his heart, and he was eager to get some news about his family, so he couldn't help but ask such a question in disguise. seems to be covering up, but in fact, he betrayed his own inner world nakedly.

Su Shi smiled in his heart, it seems that Lin Zhao's strategy has worked!

"Hmph, do you think you're still an official of the imperial court? Now he is just a prisoner of the corrupt law! Who was very disdainful, and said coldly: "You don't want to say it, then the official has to ask you to say it!" ”

Do you want to be tortured? Chen Qi was already prepared for this, but he had to suffer from flesh and skin.

But in fact this was not the case, and then a messenger brought up a stretcher and covered it with a white cloth.

A stream of stinky meat hit me from afar, making people can't help but feel nauseous and vomiting. If the two servants who raised the price had not covered their mouths and noses with damp cloths in advance, they would have collapsed long ago.

Chen Qi almost wanted to gag, Su Shi also covered his snort, picked up a square scarf to block his nose, and said: "Yesterday, someone found a male corpse on the top of the West Lake Leifeng, suspecting that it was your son Chen Hong, but the corpse was already somewhat decomposed and could not be identified clearly. For the sake of safety, you might as well see for yourself! ”

"What?" When Chen Qi heard that it was his son, he was shocked and anxious, and pounced on it to lift the white cloth, and the stench became even stronger. Shicai also turned over the river and the sea, but the disgusting Chen Qi didn't care at all, looking at the corpse under the white cloth, although it was a little rotten and deformed, he still recognized it at a glance, it was his son Chen Hong!

Chen Qi suddenly burst into tears, and almost fainted on the spot...... The goal has been achieved, Su Shi hurriedly waved his hand to let people carry it away, and the smell in the lobby dissipated, and the situation was much better.

Chen Qi was stunned, watching his son's corpse go away, his heart was like a knife, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

also wanted to exchange chips for his son's wealth, but he didn't even get peace, and he killed his surname because of it. Thinking about how stupid he is, Chen Qi will blame himself, anger, and the grief of losing his son in old age all hit his heart.

"Who killed him? How did he die? "Chen Qi will be emotional, and he is already a little windy.

Su Shi said: "It was killed by someone with a knife, and his body was abandoned on Lei Feng, and he thought it had been almost four or five days." In addition to the murderer's fatal knife wounds, Chen Hong also had many bruises on his body, which were caused by resistance and struggle before death. As for who killed him, then I don't know, I don't know if you have a clue? ”

Hmph, it must be them, their sons are dead, and they have to take things to blackmail themselves, Chen Qi will be sad and angry, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!

Caring is already confusing, let alone the pain of losing a child? Chen Qi's mind is no longer so clear, not to mention his preconceived ideas, he has already decided that it was Zhao Zongyong and others who killed his son.

At least he was sure that Lin Zhao and the others would not kill anyone, even if his son was impulsive with him, at least he would not have to worry about his life.

From before the West Lake banquet on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, he had basically cut off news from the outside world, did not know his son's whereabouts, and even did not know about Zhao Shiju's plot against the rebellion. It is even more unthinkable that his son did such a foolish thing, and the subsequent tragic encounter, in this way, there is only one possibility for the mastermind behind the scenes. With the style of those people, it is completely possible...... "Su Tongju, I have something to tell you......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Dongyang, your plan really worked!" Su Shi got what he was looking forward to, his heart was beautiful, and he also admired Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "It's just a time difference to break through Chen Qi's psychological defense, so it can be seen that the smooth flow of information is too important!" Tell me, what did you find? ”

"Of course there is, and it's shocking!" The expression on Su Shi's face still became solemn, and this incident really shocked him.

Lin Zhao took the things in Su Shi's hand, first surprised, then shocked, and there was no joy at all!

Su Shi sighed: "I can't imagine that the royal county king would do such a thing!" ”

"Brother Zizhan, there is nothing strange, the more powerful some people are, the more lawless they are. But with this thing, hum, what else do you have to say about their father and son this time? Lin Zhao's tone became more and more cold, and then said, "Hurry up and send it to Bianjing!" ”

Su Shi nodded and said, "Okay, but I think you should go to the palace and knock on them, it's been a lot of trouble these days!" ”

"Okay, it's rare to have such an opportunity!"

When Lin Zhao came to the palace of Yuhang County, he heard Zhao Zhongshan's shouting and scolding from a distance. These palaces are related to the case of Zhao Shiju's rebellion, and Zhao Zongyong's father and son were placed under house arrest.

After all, the other party is the king of the county, or the uncle of the official family, so it stands to reason that he would not dare to do so. But Lin Zhao insisted on this, and missed this opportunity, Zhao Zongyong's father and son would definitely get away with it again, and Lin Zhao knew very well the reason that he would not die but suffer from it. Zheng Zheng originally disagreed, but Lin Zhaoping's rebellion was still there, and Shen Kuo insisted, so he agreed.

So the father and son of Yuhang County were put under house arrest by eating and drinking, Zhao Zongyong was very dissatisfied, but there was no way, Zhao Zhongshan was used to being powerful, and he said that he scolded at the door! After scolding people today, when he saw Lin Zhao coming, he immediately shouted from afar: "Lin Zhao, what are you arrogant about?" Dare to put the emperor's relatives under house arrest, you don't know whether you are alive or dead! Let me tell you, if you don't let us out, I will definitely go to Bianjing to sue the emperor, and let you die without a place to be buried! ”

"The little monkey master has finished scolding? Get up with your strength, don't let you go to jail it's already good, you still don't appreciate it! Lin Zhao smiled, he got something today, the evidence is ironclad, what else is terrible about these paper tigers.

"You ......"

Lin Zhaodao: "Do you want to say that you went to Bianjing to file a complaint?" Go ahead, the official family must be eager to hear something from your father and son now! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zongyong and Zhao Zhongye's faces suddenly changed!

"What do you mean?" Zhao Zhongye suddenly walked in front of him and asked sharply.

"What do you mean, don't you know Dongyang County Gong?" Lin Zhao's words were quite heart-wrenching.

"You...... You're arrogant! ”

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "It's nothing, Chen County Ling Ai died, he was hit hard, and he confessed a lot of things, presumably the prince will be very interested!" ”

"What, Chen Qi ......" Speaking of this, Zhao Zongyong and his son naturally understood what was going on. What they are most worried about these days is that there is something wrong with Chen Qi, and they have been trying to find a way to contact Chen Qi and let him carry the matter down. However, he was placed under house arrest by Lin Zhao, and there was no chance to leave at all. It can be seen that Lin Zhao's risk of putting them under house arrest is still very effective.

"Don't think that what he says will work, it's just crazy talk, the official believes in counting, otherwise ......"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Zhao said coldly: "I still don't know how to repent, so let's see if the official family believes it or not...... A few more grievances first! ”
