With the help of Wangcai and Fu Duoduo, they soon found the person who poisoned them. The poisoner killed the kitchen burner, and then disguised himself as him and successfully infiltrated the Han Palace. Before he killed the burner, he had been secretly monitoring and observing him, and only after he had learned all the habits of the burner.

After he infiltrated the Han Palace, his personality, movements, habits, and other things were no different from the previous firemen, so the people in the kitchen did not notice that the firefighters had changed.

After the assassin became a burner, he did not immediately poison him, but worked as a burner for a while. There is another reason why the assassin did not attack immediately, that is, Zhao Yao was basically not in the Han Palace.

I learned that His Royal Highness the King of Han was often absent from the palace, and sometimes when he came back, he couldn't stay for a few days. Seeing that Zhao Yao had finally returned this time and had not left immediately, the assassin decided to poison him.

After the assassin poisoned, seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Han was intact, he knew that his poisoning was unsuccessful, and decided to poison again, so he did not leave the Han Palace, nor did he leave the Swamp Mansion.

In the past few days, Wangcai and Fu Duoduo have secretly followed and monitored the Assassins, and discovered that the Assassins were in contact with the shopkeeper of a rouge shop.

After Zhao Yao learned about it, he asked the stall of the dark guard camp to investigate the shopkeeper of the rouge shop, and found that the shopkeeper of the rouge shop was ostensibly from Yangzhou, but actually from Jizhou.

Jizhou is the fief of the acting king, so the mastermind behind the scenes is naturally the acting king. However, Zhao Yao doesn't think so, he doesn't believe that things are so simple.

"The acting king has a reason to kill you, why don't you think it's him?" He Lianfang was playing chess with Zhao Yao, "Last year, because of the glass incident, the acting king was dissatisfied with you and gave you a lesson. Before, the acting king sent someone to you to cooperate, and you rejected him again. If you don't give him face three times or twice, and you get close to the king of Chu, he will never tolerate you again. ”

"The acting king does have a reason to kill me, but don't you think this time the matter is too smooth?" Zhao Yao played with the chess pieces in his hand, and the corners of his mouth pursed into a smile that seemed to be a smile, "The mastermind behind the scenes is to make me think that the acting king sent someone to assassinate me." ”

He Lianfang heard Zhao Yao say this, and found that it was really too smooth.

"Then who do you think is the mastermind behind the scenes, King Jing or King Han?"

With a click, Zhao Yao dropped the chess pieces in his hand, raised his eyes to look at He Lianfang, and said in a firm tone: "King Han." ”

"Why King Han, not King Jing?" He Lianfang asked, "Isn't it too reckless for King Han to cooperate with you and poison you?" Besides, King Han is still counting on you to make money, what good is it for him to poison you? ”

Zhao Yao said casually: "If I die, King Han will be able to occupy my business." ”

"You are dead, King Han can indeed occupy some of your business, but he can't occupy the Swamp Mansion." He Lianfang didn't think that King Han would poison Zhao Yao for this reason, "Zhao Zheng will not let King Han take over the Swamp Mansion. ”

Zhao Yao asked rhetorically: "Second uncle, then who do you think wants my life this time, King Jing?" ”

He Lianfang said: "King Han." ”

Zhao Yao was very surprised by He Lianfang's answer, "Second uncle, didn't you just say that King Han wouldn't kill me?" ”

"I don't think the reason you just said is wrong." He Lianfang thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the people you arranged in the northern military camp were discovered by King Han?" ”

Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, the person I arranged is not a big man in the northern military camp, and he didn't hinder King Han." "As early as many years ago, Zhao Yao sent people into the major military camps. There are Zhao Yao's people in the northern military camp, but his position in the northern military camp is not high. On weekdays, it is difficult to reach the center of power in the northern barracks. Moreover, Zhao Yao asked him not to inquire about the news at will if it was not a major event. Therefore, over the years, he has not sent back any news from the north.

"Why is that?" He Lianfang looked puzzled and said, "You don't have a conflict of interest with King Han, why does he want to poison you while cooperating with you in business?" ”

Zhao Yao's index finger tapped lightly on the table, and said with a thoughtful expression: "Maybe it has something to do with the fourth brother or starling." ”

"Something to do with them?" He Lianfang was surprised.

"I don't take the heir, I am not an opponent to win the heir with King Han, and the fourth brother and the starling brother participate in the succession, they are the biggest opponents of the King of Han in the fight for the throne, I have a good relationship with the fourth brother, and it is possible for the King of Han to deal with me." Zhao Yao guessed, "Besides, I have a cooperative business with the fourth brother to help the fourth brother make money, and they also have this reason for dealing with me on behalf of the king." ”

"King Han has always been very hidden, he has never touched the King of Chu and them, and he has never been their enemy, why did he suddenly deal with them?" He Lianfang felt that Zhao Yao's guess was not quite right, "At this time, King Han will not expose himself. ”

Zhao Yao felt that He Lianfang's analysis made some sense, since it was not the reason for his guess, what was it. "Second uncle, what do you think is the reason?"

He Lianfang stared at Zhao Yao and said, "Maybe King Han thinks you are his biggest opponent." ”

After Zhao Yao heard this, he pointed at himself in shock, and his tone was full of disbelief: "Me? You say that King Han thinks I am his biggest opponent? How can I be? ”

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao quietly for a while, and did not answer his question.

Zhao Yao smiled self-deprecatingly: "King Han really thinks too highly of me." ”

"You successfully held a trade conference, so that those people in the capital began to be jealous of you, King Han thinks you are his biggest opponent, what's wrong?" He Lianfang always thought that Zhao Yao had a big misunderstanding of his own abilities. Not to mention the things he had made before, let's just say that this trade conference, everyone, including him, thought that it would not be successful, but as a result, the trade conference was very well held, and it made a lot of money, and it also shocked the Gentiles.

On the surface, it seems that the trade conference is very easy to organize, but in fact it is very difficult, and not everyone can hold the trade conference very successfully. Through this trade conference, everyone noticed that Zhao Yao's ability was even stronger than they imagined.

"I'm far away in the swamp house, what do they have to worry about."

"The success of the trade conference, but let Zhao Zheng praise you in front of the civil and military officials, and those people in the court guessed that Zhao Zheng might transfer you back to the capital, do you think they should worry?" He Lianfang knew in her heart that the emperor would not transfer Zhao Yao back to Beijing for a while.

After Zhao Yao heard this, his brows furrowed, and his expression became ugly: "Even if my father transfers me back to Beijing, I won't go back." ”

"It's not a question of whether you want to go back or not, it's what those people in the capital think, they think you are a threat, and they will naturally find a way to get rid of you, even if you don't do anything." He Lianfang fell, and the situation on the chessboard instantly became treacherous, "If you don't participate in the seizure of the heir, or even run to the swamp mansion thousands of miles away for this reason, it doesn't mean that those people in the capital will let you go." ”

Zhao Yao sighed with a headache: "Alas, it's really annoying, I really don't compete for the throne with them, they keep staring at what I do." "I thought that if I stayed away from the capital, I would be able to stay away from the bloody wind and rain of seizing the heir, but I was still involved.

He Lianfang glanced at Zhao Yao, who looked distressed, and said coldly: "No one will believe that you have no ambition for the throne. ”

"The fourth brother and the starling brother believe me."

"What's the use of them believing in you, the acting king and the king of Han they don't believe you." He Lianfang didn't say anything more, and continued to talk back to King Han, "King Han wants to get rid of you, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course, he will return his body with the way of others." ”

"You're going to poison King Han?"

Zhao Yao shook his index finger at He Lianfang, and deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said, "You will know when the time comes." ”

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, He Lianfang didn't ask any more.

"When you return to Beijing next year to get married, those people in the capital will not easily let you go back to Lingnan."

Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Next year's affairs will be talked about next year." "Next year, he will never return to Beijing to get married." At the moment, I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't think about next year for the time being. ”

He Lianfang knew that Zhao Yao must have something in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

"King Han's people are in the swamp mansion, what are you going to do?"

"Don't do it, let them continue to do business." He welcomes anyone to come to the Swamp Mansion to do business, and when King Han comes to do business, he will not turn it away. Besides, the acting king and the king of Jing will also send people to do business. He doesn't do business with them, but he won't stop them from doing business in the Swamp House. Moreover, when they came to the Swamp Mansion to do business, he could also monitor their every move.

A few days ago, a lot of people came to the capital, and these people came to find Zhao Yao. Openly and secretly they all wanted to cooperate with Zhao Yao, and Zhao Yao refused to cooperate with them, but allowed them to come to the Swamp Mansion to do business. However, when you come to Swamp House to do business, you must follow his rules. If you don't follow his rules, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Although those people in the capital were dissatisfied with Zhao Yao's refusal to cooperate with them, when they saw that Zhao Yao allowed them to come to the Swamp Mansion to do business, they did not coerce and tempt them anymore.

"It's too risky for you to let King Han and the acting king and their people come to the Swamp Mansion to do business." He Lianfang did not approve of Zhao Yao's doing.

"Second uncle, the most dangerous place is the safest place." Zhao Yao said with a deep meaning, "It's better to let them make small moves under my nose than to do something with their backs to me." "As for his secrets, those people can't find out. He'll give them what they want to see.

"You're careful." He Lianfang sighed in her heart, Xiao Shi, this kid is worthy of being Zhao Zheng's son.

"No, it's all under my control." He won't let those people in the capital spoil his business.

After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he left a son behind, with a happy smile on his face: "Second uncle, you lost." ”

He Lianfang glanced at the chess game, and then said calmly: "You won." "Now, He Lianfang is playing chess with Zhao Yao, and it is very difficult to win against Zhao Yao. In terms of chess skills, Zhao Yao has been better than the blue.

Zhao Yao stood up and stretched his waist, "Second uncle, I'll go back." "He still has things to do." Tomorrow, I will leave the palace for a while, second uncle, you are fine at home. ”

"What are you going to do here?"

"Busy harvest." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "I will start harvesting early rice tomorrow, I have to go and see." ”

"This year's early rice is not growing well, what else are you going to see?"

"Let's see how much early rice can be harvested this year."

He Lianfang knew that Zhao Yao was very concerned about food. At the beginning of this year, when he was ploughing, he also personally went to the field for spring ploughing. In order to harvest, he also deliberately made windmills before the trade conference.

"This year's early rice harvest should be more than usual."

"It's definitely a lot, but it's not clear how much." Zhao Yao naturally hopes that the more harvests there are, the better, "If this year's early rice harvest doubles compared to last year's, then the people of Marsh Mansion will be able to eat well." "He came to the swamp mansion and did so many things, the purpose is to let the people live a good life." If the harvest is doubled, then what I did in the fields before can be replicated in other state capitals in the Great Zhou. ”

"There you go."

"Second uncle, I'm leaving." Leaving He Lianfang's study, Zhao Yao returned to his study. As soon as he approached, Xiao Jin and General Tiger pounced on him.

These two love to go out hunting and haven't been back for a few days. I was able to come back today, and it seems that I have eaten enough outside.

Xiao Jin and General Tiger showed off their "achievements" to Zhao Yao these days, and Zhao Yao listened carefully, praising them for their ability from time to time.

After listening to Xiao Jin's words, Zhao Yao suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what they had just said.

Happy Lantern Festival, old irons!

It's the end of the month, and I'm asking the old iron for a monthly pass with a shy face!
