Zhao Tan didn't say much, and the guards behind him walked out with Zhang Xian on their backs.

When he was only halfway through, he saw a group of people coming in front of him, led by a group of people wearing official robes, with a ruddy face and a wisp of black hair, and when he saw Zhao Ta, he hurriedly saluted: "King Qi stays, King Qi, please stay." ”

Zhao Ta saw that it was Fu Qingshu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, this person was Cai Jing's hardcore cronies, although he was in the court, but the Cai family's official face involved in the Jinfeng Hall in Tokyo City was all put forward by this person, as the chief official of the imperial court, so without a frame, it is also rare.

Zhao Ta said lightly: "This king doesn't like others to stay the most, Fu Shangshu, what did you just say?" ”

Fu Qingshu was stunned for a moment, he originally heard that King Qi was kind, but later he knew that he was tyrannical, but now he is obviously arrogant and domineering!

He was dissatisfied in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest, being an official to his status, the character had already been established, since he had done a lot of shameful things, where did he care about this, and said busily: "What the prince said is extremely true, the lower officials dare not mention it again, and dare not mention it again." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him: "Fu Shangshu, I haven't been to this prison before, right?" ”

"Huh?" Fu Qingshu was stunned again, this person really doesn't talk about the rules, what is he doing in this prison if he has nothing to do, it's unlucky, he usually walks around here.

Zhao Ta continued to move forward, Fu Qingshu's head was sweating, he glanced at Zhang Xian on the back of the guard behind him, and whispered: "Lord Wang, this is a murder suspect, where does Lord Wang want to take it?" ”

Zhao Ta ignored it, and Fu Qingshu wiped his sweat: "Where does the prince want to take it, it's better to tell the lower officials, and the lower officials will send someone to send it, why bother with the prince." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him and said with a smile: "Do you really want to send it?" ”

Fu Qingshu heard what he said, and suddenly remembered that this habitual joy is mixed in the market, not according to common sense to play cards, if he deliberately misunderstands his own polite words, and let his own family send them as soon as he throws them away, what will he do? ”

"Master Fu......" Someone next to him suddenly whispered, and gently pulled the corner of Fu Qing's book.

Fu Qingshu frowned, and the secret path was too eyeless, so he just left it alone.

Zhao Ta said: "Which one interjects?" ”

The man also regretted it at the moment, why didn't he hold back, but he received the order of King Yun to come and mention people, but now he saw that this thing could not be done, and his heart panicked.

He didn't dare to make a sound, a guard had already stepped forward to find out for him, Zhao Ta looked at it: "The Imperial City Division?" ”

The man hurriedly knelt down: "The second king, the small one is mouthy, and the second king is asked to condemn." ”

Zhao Ta sneered: "The Imperial City Division still has the face to plead guilty? Recently, I haven't been walking around behind the front door of this king's mansion, and now I dare to say something offensive? ”

This person didn't dare to argue, in the imperial city, Si Ke knew the temperament of these princes and princes better than Fu Qingshu, and he raised his hand and gave himself a slap: "The second king, the small one is guilty, and the second king is beating or punishing the small one to admit his guilt." ”

Zhao Ta said: "Hang up in prison." ”

Immediately, a guard dragged the leader of the Imperial City Division down, Fu Qingshu's eyelids jumped, looked at Zhang Xian, pondered the words in his heart, and accompanied Zhao Ta to the top.

Outside the prison of the Criminal Department, Zhao Ta asked Zhang Xian to be placed, and Fu Qingshu said: "Lord Wang...... The lower official has something to plead. ”

Zhao Ta glanced at him and said, "It's not that this king has taken people away, and you still want this king to leave a note for your criminal department, right?" ”

Fu Qing twitched his book, and said: "Don't dare, Wang Ye Xiande, this person was delivered by Kaifeng Mansion, and he just went through the motions in the Criminal Department, and King Yun ...... him."

Zhao Ta sneered: "Fu Shangshu, I know that you have always been able to bend and be straight, but ...... If this king asks you to hang you in the prison below for a few hours, I am afraid that you will never be able to stand up above the court again! ”

Fu Qingshu immediately said: "Lord, Qingshu doesn't mean this, Qingshu just wants to explain the ins and outs of this matter to the prince, and please don't misunderstand, Qingshu will send it to the prince." ”

Zhao Tan sneered in his heart, even if these court officials have reached such a status, wearing purple and gold, and ranking as the supreme scholar, but few of them are straight, why? Just because what he has done is full of loopholes and ignores the law, there is no such thing as preferring death to give in and fighting on the basis of reason.

The group returned to the palace, Zhao Ta ordered Zhang Xian to be placed, and found a doctor to take a look at the injury, not to mention that Zhao Kai was already in the palace of Yun Wangfu like thunder.

Even if he didn't have such an outward temper, the anger in his heart at this moment was indescribable, and the bird and stone picture that he had spent hard work painting before reached out and smashed it.

After a while, he sat on the chair and calmed down slightly, and ordered outside the door: "Go and get all the confessions of Zhang Xian, Fu Qingshu asked him to write an excerpt and hand it over immediately, and later this king will enter the palace to see the official's house to tell the matter, and then he won't believe in King Qi, and he can still distinguish what is right and wrong!" ”

The people outside the door hurriedly ran away to do things, Zhao Kai got up and turned around the room twice, gritted his teeth and whispered: "The wolf is ambitious, arrogant and domineering, I don't believe that you can make the official family believe every time, this time you dare to rob the prison of the Criminal Department, I think you will dare to pull the flag and rebel next time!" ”

When it came to the word rebellion, Zhao Kai was suddenly stunned, he frowned, as if he had thought of something, his expression gradually calmed down, and then he returned to the chair and sat down, twisting his eyebrows and pondering.

Just after noon the next day, Zhao Ta received a holy decree in the mansion, he asked Su Shi to put some Longyou's specialties into the car, and took the box of jewels that Lingjiabana offered when he saw him at that time, and picked out a few strange things that few people knew, and found a jeweled brocade box to put on, and brought the national letter and the like, and then entered the palace.

Entered the imperial city, went straight to the Chengping Hall of Yanfu Palace, the eunuch reported that he walked into the palace, but saw that it was not Emperor Daojun alone, not only Zhao Kai was there, but there was also a man about forty years old, extremely elegant, with a slight hair.

This man Zhao Ta recognized that it was Wang Hao, who had outstanding talent and a keen brain, but he had no real knowledge, but he was good at flattering words, and he had set a record for the eighth-order official position in a row.

Now Wang Hao is already the position of Shangshu Zuocheng and Zhongshu Shilang, which is equivalent to the deputy prime minister, but this person has a problem, he belongs to the wall, and he is often willing to leave a back tail in everything, relying on Liang Shicheng on the one hand, and hooking up with the Cai family on the other hand.

But Liang Shicheng supported the prince, and the Cai family was dead to Zhao Kai, so he became a strange commodity and became the object of attraction between the two sides.

However, as soon as Zhao Ta saw him, he knew about foreign affairs, otherwise Emperor Daojun would not have called people from the court when he saw him.

After each of them saluted, Emperor Daojun's expression was quite kind: "King Qi's trip is hard, I have seen yesterday's excerpt, and I will call you after a few days, so that you can rest in the palace for a while, but there is a joint complaint between King Yun and Shangshu of the Criminal Department, so I called you to come over and ask." ”

Because Wang Hao, a foreign minister, was there, Zhao Ta naturally kept the court's etiquette, and said: "It is within the minister's duty to share the worries of the officials, and how dare they call it hard, but there are laborers' families who are worried, and the ministers are grateful." ”

Emperor Daojun nodded, and said: "Let's talk about the current matter first, King Yun and the excerpt of the Criminal Department Shangshu have read it, and I also know a rough idea, since it is a murder in the downtown area, and there is a confession and testimony, why does the King of Qi ignore the law and go to the prison of the Criminal Department to forcibly raise people, does the King of Qi know that this is a big crime?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Do you still remember what the minister once said about the son of Gao Yu? ”

When Emperor Daojun heard this, he immediately became interested and said, "Could it be that it has something to do with this?" ”

Zhao Kai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and secretly said that this is about to start making up stories to coax the official family again, Zhao Ta is really a big traitor, and he can't help but glance at Wang Hao on the side.

Wang Hao understood and nodded slightly.

Zhao Ta said: "The murderous boy was the brother of the little lady at that time. ”

Emperor Daojun said: "King Qi, this is your fault, isn't this the same as the incident you made in the Yun Palace?" And you're still a white-bodied grass person, where did you take people away by force?

Zhao Ta said: "What the official family said is very true, but what the minister wanted at that time was not to save him at all!" ”

Dao Junqi said: "It's not to save people, why do you want to forcibly take it away?" ”

Zhao Kai immediately shouted when he heard this, he knew Zhao Ta too well, and every time he spoke to the official family, then aroused the interest of the official family, and finally used conspiracy to deceive him to achieve his goal.

At this time, Wang Huangli said: "Official, the minister has something to say." ”

Emperor Daojun said: "Wang Qing can say, calling you here is to make a judgment." ”

Wang Hao saluted Zhao Ta again, and then said: "If the minister offends the king of Qi, please don't blame the king of Qi." ”

Zhao Ta looked at him with a smile, and said in his heart that even if this king doesn't kill you, someone will kill you in the future.

Wang Hao continued: "Your Majesty thinks, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, no matter what the reason, the king of Qi should not go to the criminal department to raise people on his own, and the book of the criminal department is still on the spot, isn't the king of Qi ignoring the face of the court?" ”

He didn't say anything, this is also his style, if he is ruthless, he will say what the face of the court is, where is the face of the official.

Zhao Tan nodded and said: "What Wang Xianggong said is also reasonable, but Wang Xianggong may not know that the sister of this murderous boy is a person from the queen's house, since Wang Xianggong said that the country has national laws and the family has family rules, then this is a family rule, the royal family affairs, this king thinks it is better to deal with it himself, otherwise it will damage the royal face if it is passed out." ”

Emperor Daojun said, "Then King Qi, how do you plan to deal with it yourself?" ”

Zhao Ta said: "Back to the official's house, killing people is a capital crime, since it is an internal matter of my house, it is right to bring it back and beat it to death, even if the minister has violated the laws of the court, but for the sake of royal face, the minister ...... I have to do it! ”

As soon as he said this, the three people on the other side were all slightly stunned, and Zhao Kai said in his heart, is he so vicious? No, no, the clever tongue is like a spring, the tongue blooms with lotus flowers, there must be tricks.

Emperor Daojun said curiously: "King Qi can be lynched? ”

Zhao Ta said: "The official, I wanted to kill the matter directly, but I didn't expect him to shout injustice, I didn't care, and I thought that if this matter was confused, then I couldn't do anything else, so I asked a few words, under this question, there was really something strange in it, he was actually bullied by others, in order to protect himself, he resisted self-defense and killed people!" ”

As soon as Zhao Ta's words came out, Zhao Kai immediately said: "Official, and don't listen to the nonsense of King Qi, there is not only a confession in this matter, but also witness testimony, no matter what, an intentional homicide cannot be hidden." ”

Zhao Ta looked at Zhao Kai and said, "What does King Yun mean by this, and is the witness testimony credible?" ”

Zhao Kai sneered: "King Qi don't deceive me for not understanding, one human certificate is called a lonely certificate, and this king has three human certificates, all of which can prove this matter." ”

Emperor Daojun said, "King Qi, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, "The minister also thinks that what King Yun said is reasonable. ”

Zhao Kai's heart was beating violently when he heard this, and for some reason, even though he seemed to be superior everywhere at the moment, he was always a little weak for no reason.

"It's just an official, since what King Yun said is reasonable, then the minister ...... here" Zhao Ta suddenly stretched out his hand, took out a whole pile of paper full of words from his arms, and held it forward: "The minister has the testimony of dozens of people at the scene at that time, all of which can prove the murder in self-defense, and please make a clear judgment from the official." ”

Emperor Daojun and Wang Huang looked at the large pile of thick testimony in Zhao Ta's hand, and couldn't help but widen their eyes at the same time, Zhao Kai's face turned pale instantly, and he took a step back suddenly, shouting: "This, this is impossible!" ”
