"Bang Bang!" With a single blow, the thin wooden board slapped Zhao Daosheng's face, leaving countless red marks.

Zhao Daosheng kept clenching his teeth and didn't speak.

After dozens of strokes, his eyes were already closed, and his delicate face was oozing blood.

"Alright." Qiu Eun waved his hand and helped Zhao Daosheng's sturdy internal official to retreat.

Zhao Daosheng staggered to the ground, almost silent.

"If you continue to fight, it will be difficult for the prince to cover it up when he comes back." Qiu Eun turned his head to look at Zhao Gong, his eyes inquiring.

"Wake him up." Zhao Gong looked to his side, and an internal official had already stepped forward with a basin of water, and then splashed it directly on Zhao Daosheng's body.

Seeing that he woke up in a daze, Zhao Gong looked at Qiu Eun and said with a deep look in his eyes: "Duke Qiu doesn't have to worry, he won't see the prince." ”

Qiu Eun was stunned for a moment, and then said with an admiring face: "Yes, yes, it's rare that you can go down to this heart, since that's the case, then go on, don't worry about the prince's affairs, there are no less than one or two people in the palace one day." ”

Zhao Daosheng raised his head violently, his eyes were full of horror, he couldn't believe what he had heard, they were going to kill someone.

"Hit!" Zhao Gong looked behind Zhao Daosheng, and the two sturdy internal officials had stepped forward again, and the wooden board was slammed into Zhao Daosheng's face.

The blood flowed out directly, and Zhao Daosheng finally couldn't help but speak: "I don't have ......"

Zhao Gong raised his hand slightly, and the two sturdy internal officials had already stopped.

Zhao Gong walked in front of Zhao Daosheng and looked at him indifferently: "You say, if you ruin your face, does the prince still like you?" ”

Zhao Daosheng couldn't help but shudder, he quickly raised his head, looked at Zhao Gong, and said with a frightened face: "Commander, I didn't betray the secret guard, I never told the commander that I was a secret guard......

"No, you're not a secret guard." The corner of Zhao Gong's mouth sneered, looked at Zhao Daosheng and said: "You are a person from Ming Chongyan, you have never been in the roster of secret guards, you are a person from the Inner Servant Province, you are a person from the crown prince, you have nothing to do with the secret guards." ”

Zhao Daosheng was a little stunned, he didn't understand what Zhao Gong meant by these words.

"Therefore, you approached the prince, seduced the prince, and harmed the prince to be far away from the virtuous ministers and close to the villain, so today, you are the inner servant of the temple in the province, and you are picketing lawlessness in the palace according to the law." Zhao Gong grabbed Zhao Daosheng's chin, looked at him in horror, and said with a sneer: "So, if you die, you will die, at most, the six inner temple uncles in the palace, push one out to take the blame, but you are dead, dead in vain." ”

Zhao Gong threw Zhao Daosheng to the ground, and then said with a cold face: "You are dead, and it has nothing to do with the secret guards." ”

Zhao Daosheng was sticking to the cold ground, his face was already full of horror.

He didn't expect that Zhao Gong had even arranged his death properly, and even ......

also hacked the prince.

"I didn't seduce the prince." Zhao Daosheng pressed his hands on the ground and was about to stand up, but at this time, Zhao Gong's cold voice sounded.

"It's better for you to lie on your stomach, and if you stand up, you'll be beaten again." When Zhao Gong said a word, Zhao Daosheng immediately paused, and he didn't dare to move.

Zhao Gong walked to his side and squatted down, and said slowly: "You had the opportunity to take the initiative to contact others today, but you didn't do anything, your heart has betrayed." ”

Zhao Daosheng lay on the ground, his hands slowly weakened, and finally even stuck directly to the ground.

My heart was cold.

"Maybe you didn't tell the prince about your relationship with the secret guard, but the prince must have seen that you are a secret guard, so all those who approach you will be driven away, and you acquiesce to this, and there is a ...... between you and the prince" Zhao Gong sneered lightly, feeling ridiculous in his heart, a chess piece actually has feelings.

Zhao Daosheng lay on the ground, raised his head, glared at Zhao Gong and gritted his teeth and said: "There is nothing between me and the prince, I help the prince, just because I can't get used to you people, and frame a good prince who is benevolent and sympathetic to the people, if you want to frame him, don't even think about it." ”

The contempt on Zhao Gong's face disappeared instantly, he turned his head to look at Qiu Eun, frowned and asked, "Where is he from?" ”

"Yuzhou, Runan County, there is no father and no mother at home, no brother or brother, and even why he entered the court cannot be examined." Qiu Eun shook his head slightly.

"There are no parents and brothers in the family, but there may not be no clansmen, at least the news should be able to get in." Zhao Gong chuckled lightly and said: "Yuzhou happens to belong to Henan Province, no wonder it will change its mind, so it is." ”

"That's because the prince did everything right." Zhao Daosheng gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Gong, and then, he suddenly sneered: "In the past, I was just like you, ignorant and ignorant, thinking that whoever was good to me, I should be good to whom, but I now understand that in addition to me, there is also the world in this world, and the prince is the most suitable person for this world...... Bang! ”

Zhao Daosheng slammed his head directly on the ground, blood flowed out directly, and the person was already motionless.

Zhao Gong subconsciously wanted to touch Zhao Daosheng's pulse, and the Qiu eunuch on the side suddenly said: "The person is not dead, but he is a good slave, at least loyal to his master." ”

Zhao Gong ignored Qiu Eun, he turned over Zhao Daosheng directly, looked at his wound carefully, and after a while, he finally smiled.

"A slave is a good slave, and a person is decisive enough, but unfortunately, I am too afraid of pain and am reluctant to use my strength." The corners of Zhao Gong's mouth finally smiled.

Qiu Eun fell silent.

Death is not so easy, and so is suicide.

Maybe at the moment of doing it, you can be ruthless and decisive for a moment, but after doing it, at the moment of death, the survival instinct will pull you hard.

Zhao Daosheng is like that.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of pain.

If he is allowed to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, there is no problem at the moment of jumping off the cliff, but after jumping, the instinct of life will make him regret it, but in that case, it will be too late to regret it.

But now, it's so easy to die with a hammer on the head.

"Come on, send people to the secret prison, clean up well, if you can't hold on, just use medicine, eat and drink well, and then clean up." Zhao Gong raised his head and looked at Qiu Eun.

Qiu Eun smiled, nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

……

In the Qianyang Palace, Zhao Gong and Qiu Eun stood respectfully on one side.

Empress Wu wore a black background gold silk wind-patterned skirt and a black hat, looked at the music in her hand, and carefully read it back and forth twice, and then said: "These things are things that have already been mastered." ”

"Yes, diva." Zhao Gong arched his hand and said, "But the secret guard's things can't be taken out, but his statement can be used as evidence." ”

"Is it a trick?" Empress Wu couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Daosheng was almost killed by Zhao Gong, but he always hung his breath, turning over and over, and he couldn't die.

"It's a pity that the skin is fine and the meat is tender." Empress Wu turned the page in a blink of an eye, and then said with a solemn expression: "The evidence is also useful, but it is not enough, for example, there are less than a hundred pairs of armor buried in the stables of the East Palace, which is just the prince's nonsense." ”

Empress Wu raised her head, her deep gaze fell on Zhao Gong, and she said softly: "The children are fooling around, don't worry too much." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Gong bowed heavily, Empress Wu's words were very clear, wait a minute, it's just nonsense now, but maybe it will be in the future.

"Go, go, keep an eye on the East Palace, don't have any accidents." Empress Wu raised her head again, looked at Zhao Gong, and said with a smile: "This time you did a good job, cousin!" ”

Zhao Gong bowed again, and then slowly retreated, leaving only the Qiu Eunuch and the Empress Wu in the hall.

Empress Wu looked at Qiu Eun with some ease and asked, "What's going on this time, how can this cousin who has always been obedient to the rules be willing to go beyond the rules?" ”

"Back to the Queen." Qiu Eun bowed his hand, and then said: "It is said that when Commander Zhao was monitoring the soldiers of the East Palace with the Duke of Guangping County and entering the palace, the Duke of Guangping County mentioned that the means of the prince to clean up the hidden fields in Henan Province are all taught by the prince of Nanchang. ”

"Has someone found Cheng's family?" Empress Wu's brows suddenly furrowed.

"The Cheng family was born in Jeju, and now they are still a Jeju family, and Jeju is under Henan Province, and this investigation is somewhat involved." Qiu Eun did not hide what happened.

"Tell Cheng Chubi that he shouldn't interfere in things that shouldn't be interfered, and no one is allowed to do it until the prince cleans up the hidden fields in Henan Province." Empress Wu's expression became fierce.

"Whoa!" Qiu Eun bowed seriously.

"Also, everything from the beginning to the end of this matter has been dealt with."

"Whoa!"

……

Zhao Gong walked calmly in the court, his eyes were cold.

He didn't know that the queen of heaven used the prince to use him to clean up the hidden fields in Henan Province, but in fact, as long as the prince was smarter, while checking the hidden fields in Henan Province, it involved Shannan Province, Henan Province, and even Hebei Province, which even the queen of heaven could not easily move him, but unfortunately, the prince did not dare.

He was even more afraid that those big families would join up, and instigate the martial queen who had long wanted to abolish him, so he would shoot directly.

There is no courage.

Zhao Gong can ignore anything else, but when it comes to Li Xuan, he has to do something.

Turning around, Zhao Gong looked at the Qianyang Palace, he knew that his actions today made the Queen of Heaven very satisfied, otherwise he, who was only related to the Empress Wu with marginal blood, would not be called a cousin by the Empress Wu.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Gong looked ahead, sighed lightly in his heart, and said, "Prince, this road is not dead yet, it's up to you to deal with it." ”

Back in the Black Prison of Yeting, Zhao Gong was in the cell again and saw the beaten and bloody Zhao Daosheng.

He waved his hand, and Zhao Daosheng was immediately put down, and soon someone stepped forward to help him clean up his wound and apply medicine.

"Zhao Lang, what should I do next?" Steward Xu walked out of the darkness.

"Is it safe to bring him here today?" Zhao Gong turned his head to look at Steward Xu.

Steward Xu smiled lightly, and then said: "Zhao Lang rest assured, they are all the old slave's cronies in the East Palace, and they won't say a word, and the others don't see it at all...... However, when the prince asks, he always has to say a few words. ”

Zhao Gong nodded calmly and said, "In this way, the people who are guarding the East Palace will withdraw a few." ”

"Withdraw?" Steward Xu couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand why he was withdrawing people at this time, he didn't know even more, and Empress Wu ordered Zhao Gong to keep an eye on the East Palace.

"The withdrawal of people now is just to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel safer." Zhao Gong smiled lightly, and then said, "Isn't this exactly what our courtiers should do?" ”

Steward Xu immediately understood the past, Zhao Gong took a step back on the surface, but the actual surveillance of the East Palace was still very tight.

"Then the old slave will go back first." Steward Xu smiled with satisfaction, and then bowed down and exited the black prison.

Zhao Gong's expression darkened again.

……

On the Chengtian Gate, Zhao Gong was still standing.

Under the Chengtian Gate, Li Xian rode in first, and then headed in the direction of the East Palace.

Behind Li Xian, one carriage after another full of files was inspected by Jin Wuwei and sent to the East Palace.

Looking at those hidden carriages, the corners of Zhao Gong's mouth showed a sneer.

The prince, he always has a high eye, so many armors, dismantled and put into the carriage, he really thinks that others don't know, but he doesn't know at all, his every move is under the surveillance of others.

Of course, Zhao Gong doesn't know everything, the only thing he doesn't know is when the prince plans to do it?

Is it really necessary to wait until late August, when the emperor and the queen of heaven return to Chang'an, and then deliver a thunderous blow?

If not, when?
