Seven or eight messengers rushed up and cut Shen Ao's hands, and Shen Ao shouted: "Wang Zhichen, don't regret it!" ”

Wang Zhichen laughed and said, "Regret? This is also what you, the prisoner, can say? If you don't confess again, don't blame me for not being a colleague! ”

Seeing that Shen Ao pursed his lips and was silent, Wang Zhichen waved his hand: "Drag it down, fight!" ”

"Slow!" Shen Ao softened this time and said, "I'll move!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and they were really speechless about Shen Ao's character, this guy, who just said it in a high-sounding manner, really has a bit of a tough guy's true colors, I thought that this guy would have some heroic feats, who knew that before he could do it, he raised his arms and surrendered, this ...... This...... Everyone's faces were strange, and a few adults who were drinking tea almost didn't squirt out the tea in their mouths, and hurriedly swallowed the tea, and then coughed desperately.

King Zhao Zong's eyes widened, and he said to King Qi on the side: "I expected him to be like this, this person's surname is really too far away from me." ”

King Qi grinned and just nodded, raised his thumb and said, "The surname of the imperial brother has nothing to say, and the top in the clan is the best." ”

Zhao Zong was proud, his eyebrows fluttered, and he said to Shen Ao: "Shen Ao, it's not too late for them to spank their asses and then raise their weapons, it's really annoying to watch!" ”

Everyone came back to their senses and immediately laughed.

Shen Ao ignored them, and when he saw that the servants let him go, he patted the ashes on his body slowly, and said to Wang Zhichen: "Lord Wang, this is what you want me to say, if something happens, you will be responsible." ”

Wang Zhichen couldn't help sneering, thinking to himself: "At this time, this linzi still dares to fake the tiger. Said: "Just say, what does it matter, I will bear it!" ”

Shen sat back arrogantly and said, "I want to take a sip of tea to moisten my throat first." ”

Wang Zhichen hesitated for a moment, glanced at the soap officer, the soap officer brought tea, Shen Ao took a sip and drank it dry, and said: "These bribes are indeed collected by me, and the account books are not bad, as for the stolen goods, I will tell the truth, I kept a copy myself, as for the rest, some of them are in the Queen Mother, and some of them are taken by His Majesty, in addition, there are also the queen and the fourth lady, and there is also a share from the Queen Mother." He looked up at Fang Liang, as if he was still reminiscing, and then continued: "My father-in-law, Yang Jian, Yang Gonggong, took a pair of jade horses, and the King of Jin accepted a horse from me. ”

Zhao Zongzheng and King Qi whispered, as soon as they heard that the fire burned on their heads, they really received Shen Ao's gift, the last time they entered the palace, they saw Shen Ao scattering wealth everywhere, and their hearts were hot, so they said to Shen Ao: "Shen Ao, you can't favor one over the other, you have given so many treasures to the queen mother, how can you miss me?" ”

As a result, the next day, a horse was delivered, and Zhao Zong was still happy to show off to others, at this time, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and when everyone's eyes fell on him, he immediately put on an indifferent look and said, "Horse...... Be...... Some. ”

Shen Ao was still there and said: "In addition to them, there are also the Duke of Weijun, the Marquis of Shanggao, the Duke of Qiguo, and the Marquis of Gaozhou......"

When Wang Zhichen heard the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty, his face had changed greatly, his brain was buzzing, and he suddenly collapsed weakly on the chair.

Shen Ao said with a smile: "Actually, the things of Fanshang are all other people's, since they want to send them, I have no reason not to accept them, the so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders......"

“……”

"Since it is fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders, these things, of course, must be collected, as the temple of Honglu Temple, it is my duty to accept these gifts, it is my duty, the so-called I don't go to hell who goes to hell, this bad person, I will take care of it alone."

"However, I also know the truth that it is difficult to get fat alone, although this is not the people's fat and people's ointment, but these rare treasures cannot be swallowed by one person, so I uphold the principle that everyone has a share, respect and humility, from the Queen Mother to the Queen Mother, from Your Majesty to the Ministers......"

“……”

"It's clear ...... below"

"Say no more!" Cai Jing stood up decisively, at this time, the more Shen Ao said, the more wrong he was, in front of so many people, the queen mother and the emperor were involved, once it was introduced to the palace, who was the queen mother and the emperor to blame?

This is what Wang Zhichen said that he wanted to take on the responsibility for Shen Ao, and it was also forced by several chief judges to say it, but this involves the big people in the palace, where is the face of the palace going? A case was tried in the palace, but Shen Ao was a single person, how could he explain it to Wang Zhichen?

"Shen Ao, this case is pending trial for the time being, come, send Shen Ao back to Dali Temple first." Cai Jing showed his capable side at this time, and said to everyone: "No one is allowed to spread the news of today's affairs; If it spreads, not only will Your Majesty's face be disgraced, but we will also be guilty of death. ”

"As for Wang Zhichen and Jiang Min, the two of you will immediately follow me into the palace and go to ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty for guilt."

A trial had to end without a hitch, and everyone was inexplicable, and their faces were strange, and they retreated one after another, and no news was revealed, even those well-informed officers were all tightly shut and didn't know.

This case turned out to be even more confusing, as if the trial in full view of everyone had never happened.

Cai Jing immediately entered the palace with two deputy judges, and kowtowed, especially Wang Zhichen, the whole person was like a defeated rooster, where did he still have the heart to rectify Shen Ao, and even his own future became unpredictable.

Zhao Ji listened to their narration, sat behind the imperial case and remained silent, neither angry nor joyful, but said lightly: "I know." ”

Cai Jing immediately knocked on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen realized that he had stabbed the big basket and asked His Majesty to condemn him, and Wei Chen had no complaints." He recognized his mistake, never dragged the mud and water, and lay on the ground trembling slightly, his shoulders trembling slightly, and when he raised his head, the old face was as dark as ashes.

Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing, his heart softened, and he hurriedly said: "What is the guilt of the Grand Master, you don't have to take this matter to heart." ”

Cai Jing trembled slightly and was helped up by the inner attendant, and Zhao Ji said: "You all stand down, escort Shen Ao into the palace, I have something to say to him." ”

Cai Jing sighed in his heart, the last thing he wanted to see was about to happen, but he could only quickly respond to Zhao Ji and said, "Yes, Weichen will do it." ”

………………………………………………………………………… Wenjing Pavilion was impenetrable, Zhao Ji held the case, holding the pen in one hand, his eyes were like stars, looking intently at an unfinished picture scroll under the paperweight, and finally put aside the pen, and said with heavy eyebrows: "Take flower and bird painting as an example, Shen Ao is the first person in the world, and I am the first person in the world, I am afraid that I will abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

Zhao Ji shook his head, looking at the paintings hanging on the wall thoughtfully, most of these paintings are Shen Ao's works, with different styles, but each one is exquisite to the extreme, or delicate as wood grain, or rough as a sassy autumn breeze, Zhao Ji couldn't help but stay for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "This guy, if he can not cause trouble and let me feel at ease, how good it would be." ”

"Your Majesty, if Shen Ao doesn't cause trouble, is it still Shen Ao?"

This sentence came from Yang Jian, who was cautious behind him, and it was very risky to say this sentence when Zhao Ji was stunned, Yang Jian, who knew Zhao Ji's surname, naturally knew it, but he knew that there was an opportunity to protect Shen Ao...... Here it comes!

Zhao Ji nodded thoughtfully, and said tepidly: "You are right, if Shen Ao is not this surname, how can I appreciate him and be a confidant with him, instead of a monarch." ”

Zhao Ji is a person who loves the old, otherwise those old people in the palace at the front end, such as Yang Jian and Gao Yu, these old people are now high and powerful, and Zhao Ji has given them great trust and authority.

Zhao Ji sighed, thinking of the friendship between himself and Shen Ao when they didn't know each other's identities, and thinking of Shen Ao helping him out of the siege in front of Prince Niboro, these things impressed him too deeply, and for a while, that cold heart melted a little.

Sitting down in a daze, Zhao Ji suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes shone with a sparkle of anger, and said to Yang Jian: "The notes of Shangshu's impeachment will be taken back immediately, and the notes of impeachment of Shen Ao for beating Prince Nibora are still there?" ”

Yang Jian said: "The minion has been archived, and the person who impeached is called Zhao Xing, and he is an imperial history." ”

Zhao Ji said: "I issued an order to apply for punishment, tell this person to be more restrained, and if he dares to talk nonsense again, he will be exiled to Lingnan." ”

Yang Jian was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that just in an instant, Zhao Ji's mind had already reversed, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the official is chasing the wind and catching shadows, and the wind and words are doing things, why bother to apply, the slave feels that what he said is not wrong, Shen Ao is too disagreeable." ”

Yang Jian knew in his heart that this time was not the time to celebrate with the crown, he had to test and test again, the so-called gentleman's heart is unpredictable, who knows what Zhao Ji is thinking at the moment.

In fact, he didn't know that from the snowflakes that flew to Zhao Ji's desk, Zhao Ji's anger had already been extinguished; In Zhao Ji's eyes, Shen Ao is a confidant, a bastard who makes himself respect and hate, but even if he is a bastard, he is also Zhao Ji's friend, he can scold, he can fight, he can teach a lesson, and he can give Shen Ao a little color, but what are these officials, and his friends can also be scolded by them?

This is only one of them, the most important thing is that when someone scolds Shen Ao for the prince of Ni Po and Shen Ao for being greedy, Zhao Ji already has a heart for Shen Ao in his heart, these things have a deep memory of him, he clearly remembers that in the martial arts hall, the Ni Boluo prince was arrogant and domineering, and the ministers were helpless, it was Shen Ao who stood up and helped him the most important one; It's just that Zhao Ji never imagined that someone would dare to take out this matter as Shen Ao's sin.

"This group of speech officials is really shameless!" Zhao Ji couldn't help scolding in his heart, and after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that Shen Ao was not so hateful.

After half an hour, the chamberlain came over and said, "Your Majesty, Shen Ao is here to see you." ”

Zhao Ji raised his hand in a complicated mood and said, "Ask him to come in and talk." ”

Shen Ao paced in, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is here." ”

Zhao Ji raised his eyes, thinking that Shen Ao must have suffered a lot this time, he was detained, he was interrogated, at least he lost a little weight, he inevitably wanted to comfort him a few words, but when he saw Shen Ao, he immediately regretted it, this guy was still alive and white, fat and white, not only that, but even his face was a lot more ruddy than before, not to mention any scars on his body, not only his limbs were sound, but also there were no slight abrasions.

Zhao Ji sighed and thought to himself: "This person, I really can't do anything about him." After thinking about it, he deliberately said coldly to Shen Ao: "You sit down and talk." ”

Shen Ao sat down generously, the two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and after a while, Zhao Ji sighed and said, "You don't have anything to say to me?" ”

Shen Ao immediately shouted: "Wechen is wronged, although Wechen is greedy, but it is not the people's fat and people's ointment who are greedy, besides, these things, Wechen has already told His Majesty that most of the stolen goods, Wechen did not swallow them alone, they were all sent to the palace, although Wechen detained a little bit of ......" Shen Ao stretched out a small finger and continued: "But this matter, Your Majesty is also clear. ”

Zhao Ji was speechless, glared at him and said, "That's all you want to say to me?" ”

Shen Ao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "That Weichen is even more wronged, today is the trial, I have made up my mind, I would rather die than say the whereabouts of the stolen goods, the Queen Mother and His Majesty are as kind to Weichen as a mountain, I am difficult to repay even if I die, how can I climb to the palace, but unfortunately the king's minister, is really too forced, and he wants to punish Weichen, and he said that he will not confess, he will raid my home and kill my head, I thought in my heart, a good man does not suffer the immediate loss, and he can't die unjustly in the criminal department, so ...... I recruited ......."

Zhao Ji shook his head impatiently and said, "That's not what I want to ask, don't you pretend, just your little trick, can you hide it from me?" What I want to ask you is about peace. ”

Shen Ao stopped talking, and he didn't cry out for injustice, so he sat still for a while.
