King Wei carefully looked at Zhao Yao from head to bottom several times, and saw that Zhao Yao's complexion and spirit were very good, and he was completely relieved.

"Starling, I'm fine." Zhao Yao stood up as he spoke, jumped off the bed, and deliberately jumped in front of King Wei. "Starling, you see I'm not injured at all, I'm still alive."

King Wei grabbed Zhao Yao and asked him to sit back on the bed obediently.

"Okay, good, starling knows you're okay."

"Starling, I've been arrested and disappeared for a long time, you're worried." Zhao Yao thought to himself, the fourth brother was probably worried about him.

King Wei stretched out his hand and poked Zhao Yao's forehead, "You also know that I'm worried about you." ”

"Starling, I don't want you to worry either, but I don't know why I was arrested." Mentioning this matter, Zhao Yao's heart was full of grievances, "I'm an unfavored prince, I haven't done anything, and I haven't offended anyone, I don't know why those people arrested me." ”

King Wei had a lot to say to Zhao Yao, but it was already the middle of the night, and it was better to say something tomorrow.

"You go ahead and sleep well, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Zhao Yao also had something to say, but when he saw that King Wei's face was a little tired, he knew that the starling brother was in a hurry. On the way, I'm afraid I haven't had a good rest.

"Starling, you hurry up and wash up, and we'll sleep together later."

"Okay." King Wei reached out and touched Zhao Yao's head, and said softly, "Don't wait for me, you go to sleep quickly." ”

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first." Zhao Yao lay down in bed very obediently, then closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Seeing his well-behaved appearance, King Wei couldn't help but smile and immediately retreated.

Zhao Yao originally planned to wait for King Wei, but he was so sleepy that he fell asleep after a while.

When King Wei came back from washing, he saw that Zhao Yao had fallen asleep, and he was amused and relieved in his heart. He stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt for Zhao Yao, and then turned around and left.

He didn't sleep with Zhao Yao because he was afraid that he would wake up Zhao Yao when he went to bed. Besides, he wasn't sleepy, he still had something to ask Shopkeeper Fan.

Shopkeeper Fan had been waiting for King Wei in another room for a long time. Seeing King Wei walk in, he pounced, and immediately knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

"Small sins deserve death, ask the prince to punish them."

King Wei looked at Shopkeeper Fan condescendingly, and said in a cold tone: "You will ask for guilt." ”

Shopkeeper Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, was covered with cold sweat on his back at this time, and his forehead and face were also covered with cold sweat. His body trembled slightly, and his lips trembled: "Small...... Little Ten Thousand Dead ......"

King Wei walked to the side and sat down, and Shopkeeper Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately turned around and faced King Wei.

"If it weren't for the tenth brother's own cleverness this time, by the time you arrived, the tenth brother would already be a dead man." King Wei's words didn't sound salty, but they were as terrifying as a talisman to the ears of the shopkeeper Fan.

"Little ......" Shopkeeper Fan was so frightened that his body trembled so much that he didn't dare to defend himself, and stammered and begged King Wei to deal with him. The little one should be damned, and beg the prince to punish him. ”

King Wei asked in a calm tone, "How long has the tenth brother been imprisoned?" ”

Shopkeeper Fan said with a pale face: "Ten ...... Ten...... Ten ......" Zhao Yao was imprisoned for more than ten days.

"When did you find him?" King Wei said, his face suddenly sank, and his whole body exuded a cold and fierce aura, "You really impress me." ”

"Little ......" Shopkeeper Fan was so frightened that he almost fainted.

King Wei still had something to ask Shopkeeper Fan, and he did not punish him for the time being.

Shopkeeper Fan trembled and reported what happened during this period of time to King Wei one by one.

When King Wei heard that Zhao Yao guessed that the person who captured him was Li Dao, he was a little surprised, but at the same time he was a little proud.

The tenth brother is carefree on weekdays, but he is innocent and unwilling to think about things. I didn't expect to come to Jinling this time, but I became a lot smarter.

After seeing that King Wei heard what happened to Zhao Yao, Shopkeeper Fan's face softened a little, and the coercion on his body was less. He hurriedly said something about Zhao Yao, such as what Zhao Yao had done, eaten, and watched in the past few days...... The most important thing is to emphasize that Zhao Yao has always been concerned about King Wei.

Sure enough, after hearing this, King Wei's face looked better again, and he was not as angry as before.

"For the sake of you taking good care of your tenth brother, I won't punish you severely for this incident."

When Shopkeeper Fan heard King Wei say this, he was ecstatic. He hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" Thank you! Thank you! ”

"When this matter is over, you will go to the northwest to receive the punishment for me."

Although the northwest is bitter, it is better than not dying. Shopkeeper Fan was grateful to King Wei.

"What about them?"

"Back to the words of the prince...... "Shopkeeper Fan reported to King Wei in every detail on the movements of the Li family and the Fang family in the past few days.

After hearing this, King Wei had a gloomy face and did not speak.

Shopkeeper Fan cautiously asked, "Lord Wang, are we going to make a move on Li Dao and them next?" ”

King Wei's right hand gently turned the wrench on the index finger of his left hand, and said in a casual tone: "Killing them now is cheaper for them." ”

"Lord Wang, do you mean to let them go for the time being?"

"Don't move them for now, and then do it when the time comes." The corners of King Wei's mouth raised a sneer, "They caught the tenth brother, fed the tenth brother poison, and asked the tenth brother to feed the fish in the river, and killed them happily, it is merciful to them, I want to make them worse than dead." ”

Shopkeeper Fan heard this, his scalp was numb, and his heart was frightened.

"That's what the prince said."

"How's it going over there in Runzhou Mansion?"

"Everything is under control......" Next, Shopkeeper Fan not only reported the situation of Runzhou Mansion in detail, but also talked about the affairs of Suzhou Mansion.

King Wei wanted to rush back to the official ship before dawn, and after listening to the report of the shopkeeper Fan, he hurriedly left by boat. Before leaving, he repeatedly told the shopkeeper Fan to take care of Zhao Yao.

By the time Zhao Yao woke up, King Wei had returned to the official ship safely and smoothly.

"Starling left, when did he leave?" Starling won't rush back to the official ship overnight, right?

"The prince left before dawn."

"What, didn't the starling not sleep all night last night?" Zhao Yao felt a little sorry for King Wei, "Brother Starling came to see me last night?" ”

Shopkeeper Fan didn't sleep all night last night, and his face was very haggard.

"The prince has been worried about you, so he came to see you quietly last night." Shopkeeper Fan explained to King Wei, "The prince will be very busy when he arrives in Jinling, and he will be accompanied by the prince's people, so it is inconvenient for him to come to see you, so he can only come to see you last night." ”

"I'm fine, starling doesn't have to come to see me."

"Your Royal Highness, the prince originally didn't come to Jinling, because you are in Jinling, so he specially asked the prince to come to Jinling, ostensibly he came to assist King Jing." Shopkeeper Fan said again, "Just now, King Jing has arrived in Jinling. ”

"Seventh Brother is here, what is he doing here?" Zhao Yao asked in surprise, "He came to preside over the imperial examination in Jinling?" ”

"Yes, the emperor ordered King Jing to be the chief examiner and be responsible for presiding over the imperial examination in Jinling."

"Is it really for Brother Qi to preside?" The father is still as insidious as ever, let the seventh brother come to Jinling to preside over the imperial examination, isn't this a clear way to let the seventh brother follow the prince. However, with the means of the crown prince and Zhen Guogong, the seventh brother is afraid that he will not be able to do anything. However, with the temperament of the seventh brother, it is very likely that there will be a big fuss at that time.

"Your Highness, before leaving, let the little one tell you that he will be very busy during this time and will not have time to visit you, so let you wait for him here obediently." Shopkeeper Fan conveyed King Wei's advice to Zhao Yao word for word, "The prince asked you not to worry about him. ”

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for the starling here obediently." ”

At this time, the king of Chu, who was far away in Pengcheng, received a reply from the king of Wei, and learned that Zhao Yao was fine, and his heart that had been hanging for a long time could finally land.

Wei Mian saw that King Chu's brows suddenly stretched, and his cold face softened by two points, he guessed something in his heart, and his face was full of joy: "Lord Wang, is His Royal Highness Ten okay?" ”

The king of Chu bowed his head slightly and said: "The tenth brother is fine, the eighth brother rescued him and hid him well." ”

"Great, really good." During this period of time, Wei Mian has always been worried about Zhao Yao's safety in his heart. "Lord Wang, the slave maid said that His Royal Highness will be auspicious and have his own heavenly appearance."

King Chu smiled slightly.

"Lord Wang, Your Highness Ten is fine, you can finally investigate the matter of Pengcheng with peace of mind." If you don't know the safety of Your Highness Ten, the prince will not be at peace for a day, and he will not be able to concentrate on investigating the theft of copper.

"Hmm." After investigating the copper theft as soon as possible, I took my tenth brother back to Beijing as soon as possible. Although the eighth brother will protect the tenth brother, it is still not safe for the tenth brother to stay in Jinling for a long time.

Thinking that the prince actually sent someone to arrest Zhao Yao, King Chu's eyes flashed with coldness.

The tenth brother is innocent, the prince actually involved the tenth brother and poisoned the tenth brother, such a prince is not worthy of being a prince.

Peng Cheng stole copper, he will investigate it well, and he will never let the prince have a good time.
