Money can make ghosts grind, and after Zhao Shiyu showed the large silver ticket to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the entire restaurant was quickly cleared, leaving only Zhao Shiyu's group of guests.

Zhao Shiyu asked for a private room on the second floor, and instructed the shopkeeper not to come up to greet him first.

At this time, Zhao Heng also followed, and asked four guards to guard the door.

When he sat down, Zhao Heng originally wanted to sit next to Pan Jinlian, but Pan Jinlian had already sat next to Zeng Hao, and Zhao Heng could only sit next to Zhao Shiyu helplessly.

"Brother Prince, he is Xiao Lian'er's husband." Zhao Shiyu whispered to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng glanced at Zeng Hao and replied in a depressed voice: "I originally thought that a beauty like Jin Lian, her husband would not say that she was talented, at least she had to be good-looking, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of black and short man, I really don't know what Jin Lian likes about him." ”

"Maybe this is what comes out of the eyes of a lover." Zhao Shiyu snickered.

After everyone sat down, Zeng Hao told Cheng Hong about being killed in Miaole Fang.

“…… I never thought that in the year of the Anshen Doctor's sixtieth year, he would be able to kill Cheng Hong, who was tall and tall, and when I found out that something was wrong, I wanted to rush up to stop it, but it was too late...... But I didn't make a move the whole time, and the old bustard and all his subordinates in Miao Le Fang can testify for me. Zeng Hao said.

"To make such a high-ranking official, his son is killed in the place under his jurisdiction, whether you make a move or not, as long as it is with the murderer, you will not be able to escape." Zhao Heng said lightly.

"That's why I came to ask the emperor for help, to provoke such a powerful high-ranking official, only by asking for help from a higher power can they suppress them and help me."

Zhao Heng smiled "heh": "You are blunt, isn't the subtext of your words saying that my Great Song Law is a showman?" This will reach the ears of the government, and you will definitely be accused of being a lawless person and a fool of the people. ”

Hearing this, Zeng Hao really wanted to laugh, the Song Dynasty was under the governance of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and the emperors of later generations, and there was still some law at all.

But in the future, especially in the generation of Song Huizong, traitorous ministers are in charge, and it is no exaggeration to say that the so-called laws of the Great Song Dynasty are fucking fart, and they have been reduced to just a tool used to oppress the common people, and they are useless to those traitorous ministers.

In this era, if you encounter injustice or are wronged because of provoking the powerful, you can either find more powerful people to help you get ahead, or you can only consider yourself unlucky, and there is no other way.

If you want to rely on the laws of this era to seek justice for yourself, four words, daydreaming.

At this time, Zhao Shiyu spoke: "Brother Prince, Wu Zhi is my younger brother, not to mention that he didn't do it at that time, what is the crime?" You can help him. ”

Pan Jinlian also looked at Zhao Heng expectantly.

Although Zhao Shiyu can also help Zeng Hao get ahead, she is a daughter after all, and she will marry in the future, and she will definitely not have the prestige of Zhao Heng, the future emperor.

If Zhao Hengken helped Zeng Hao get ahead, Cheng Hong's father Cheng Laiguang would definitely have to think twice.

Zhao Shiyu saw that Zhao Heng didn't speak for a while, and said: "If the prince's brother refuses to help, then I will personally go to my father to intercede, anyway, Wu Zhi is my little brother, I will cover him!" ”

After a pause, she pouted slightly and said, "And I have seen that Cheng Hong, he looks very ugly, his reputation is still poor, and it is not a pity to die......"

Zhao Heng smiled bitterly: "I didn't say I wouldn't help you, little brother......"

Hearing this, Zeng Hao was overjoyed, and his heart that had been hanging finally let go.

As long as the prince is willing to come forward, even if it is just to say a word for himself, Cheng Laiguang will not dare to mess around.

Zhao Heng thought for a while, and said to Zeng Hao: "You better go to the official mansion to surrender first, and tell the whole process as it is, after all, the wanted warrant for you has been issued, and if you want to restore your civilian status, you must go through the official mansion." ”

Seeing Zeng Hao's expression of wanting to speak, Zhao Heng said again: "Don't worry, I will send someone to follow up, and I won't let you be wronged." ”

Zeng Hao immediately raised his glass and toasted to Zhao Heng: "Thank you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for coming to the rescue, this kindness Wu will never forget, and in the future, it will be useful for Wu, and Wu will be sure to smear his liver and brain!" ”

Pan Jinlian also raised her glass to express her gratitude to Zhao Heng.

Seeing Pan Jinlian's husband singing with his wife, Zhao Heng was full of jealousy, very unpleasant, but he couldn't show it, so he could only raise his wine glass and salute perfunctorily.

If it weren't for Zhao Shiyu's face, Zhao Heng would definitely not help Zeng Hao, his rival in love, and he wished that Zeng Hao would be killed as soon as possible, so that Pan Jinlian could throw himself into his arms as soon as possible.

The wine on the wine table is not fruit wine, the degree is still a little high, Zhao Shiyu knew that Pan Jinlian was not strong enough to drink, so she asked her to replace the wine with tea.

Pan Jinlian shook her head: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to help my husband, and the people are very grateful, and it is not respectful enough to replace wine with tea." ”

After speaking, she followed Zeng Hao's example, raised her head and drank it all.

The wine glass was not big, but Pan Jinlian's cheeks were still dyed with a faint flush quickly, and her willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she could see that she was already a little drunk.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Hao let her lean into his arms and asked her with concern if she wanted to ask the store to bring a bowl of decanting soup.

Seeing that the beauty he had been thinking about day and night was so close to other men, especially that man was not as good as himself, Zhao Heng's depression in his heart could be imagined.

So he said: "Brother Wu, don't be in love with this child, let's go and turn yourself in first, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

At Zhao Shiyu's request, Zeng Hao got into Zhao Heng's exclusive luxury carriage and was personally sent by Zhao Heng to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender.

Yin Duzhong, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, saw that Zeng Hao was personally sent by the prince, and his subordinates came back to report it before, so he guessed that Zeng Hao's relationship with the prince must be not shallow.

And the deceased in the murder was the son of a transfer envoy all the way, and he didn't want to offend either side, so after Zeng Hao explained the whole thing, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly threw this hot potato to the criminal department.

Du Zhong's actions were justified, because according to the division of duties of the imperial court, the Kaifeng Prefecture was responsible for civil affairs, taxation, and public security in the Tokyo area.

The Criminal Department is responsible for reviewing and approving various laws, reviewing criminal cases sent to the ministry from various localities, hearing death penalty cases with Jiuqing, and directly hearing major cases in the Tokyo area.

What counts as a major case?

Murders, the Ten Evils, and particularly bad cases.

Therefore, Du Zhong can completely transfer Zeng Hao's case to the Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department knew that the prince was standing up for Zeng Hao, and after taking over hard, he heard Zeng Hao say that he didn't make a move in the whole process, and after a formal investigation, he judged Zeng Hao to be innocent, revoked the wanted warrant for Zeng Hao, and restored Zeng Hao's innocent identity.

After Cheng Laiguang learned the news, he almost even had a crooked nose.
