Chapter 45: The son is arrested
Listening to Zhou Yang's words, Liu Ke was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhou Yang meant by what he said, and what it meant to include His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness the Seventh, who are you?"
Liu Ke still opened his mouth with a puzzled face.
At this time, Zhou Yang had already walked out, and after a few steps, he stood up again, and said without looking back.
"What I said just now is very clear, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Majesty sends someone here, you can't let them enter the Imperial Prison."
Hearing Zhou Yang's words very firmly, Liu Ke was stunned again, not understanding what Zhou Yang meant.
You must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is his immediate boss, and he can have today's status, all of which depends on the Prince's hand.
If you don't even refuse the prince's order, then isn't this a mess?
But after thinking about it, maybe this was just a way for Zhou Yang to speak.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do, what will he do in this prison?
What's more, Prince Tai can't wait to see that these four princes are unlucky, so how can they help the prince die.
Liu Ke shook his head, he felt that he was thinking a little too much.
"Your Highness the Seventh can rest assured, the lower officials will follow the orders of the Seventh Highness, and no one will let them enter the prison."
Liu Ke patted his chest and reassured.
Zhou Yang smiled and threw down another sentence.
"Remember, if you can't stand it, send someone to inform the palace, don't let people in without authorization, otherwise we will give up all our efforts, and then your position as the secretary of Dali Temple will definitely be taken down."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yang left here with his subordinates.
Zhao Wuyang, who had been following Zhou Yang along the way, was also very puzzled.
Looking at Zhao Wuyang's appearance, wanting to ask but not daring to ask, and holding back a very uncomfortable look, Zhou Yang smiled.
"Are you wondering why you caught Zhao Tianxiang, but this palace didn't do anything to him?"
Hearing Zhou Yang's question, Zhao Wuyang nodded.
"Your Highness, this is a big fish, if we get a breakthrough from him, then the spearhead will definitely be directed at the four princes, and all the things we have done will have a result."
Zhao Wuyang's face was full of anticipation.
He now can't wait to avenge his cousin.
knew that the fourth prince was the murderer behind the scenes, but he didn't have any way.
It can be said that the only breakthrough now is Zhao Tianxiang.
"No, Zhao Tianxiang has been an official in the court for many years and is the most trusted confidant of the four princes."
"What's more, the four princes were in the flower hall just now, and they had already intentionally or unintentionally said that they would keep Zhao Tianxiang's family, even if it was for his family, he would not give a word to the four princes."
"And he also has something to rely on."
Hearing what Zhou Yang said, Zhao Wuyang had a feeling that it seemed that they had arrested Zhao Tianxiang back today, not to catch a breakthrough.
Rather, he grabbed a useless chicken rib, which had no effect at all.
"Lean?"
"Now there are so many witnesses to prove that Zhao Tianxiang sent people into the edict prison to solve the assassin who assassinated Concubine Xian Niangniang."
"And he also confessed to this matter, and he won't admit it in front of so many people."
"With such ironclad evidence, what other honor guard can he have?"
Zhou Yang smiled, and that smile was full of helplessness.
"His biggest reliance is on the hundreds of officials in the court."
"Most of the people we arrested from the Zhao family today are the sons and nephews of officials in the DPRK and China."
"So we're definitely going to have a storm next, and it looks like we're going to have to get ready!"
Zhou Yang said, looking up at the sky, as if thinking about something.
Hearing Zhou Yang say this, Zhao Wuyang was also shocked in his heart.
Yes, I only thought that a large number of suspects had been arrested, but now it seems that these suspects are not so easy to interrogate, let alone that they just feel suspicious.
Because in today's poetry meeting, Zhao Tianxiang invited Shang Taishi.
Therefore, there are a lot of officials and nephews who come to cheer, and almost half of the important ministers of the court have people from their families who come to Zhao Mansion to participate in the poetry meeting.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuyang couldn't help but fight a cold war.
That night, the whole capital was in chaos.
The doors of many important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee were knocked on overnight, and when they heard the news from the visitor, the whole family was stunned.
For a while, half of the houses in the capital were brightly lit, and everyone gathered at home.
There are even people who keep sending people to Liu Ke's mansion.
When I was sleeping sweetly, someone came to spread a message that his son was arrested by Dali Temple and taken to prison.
And it is said that it is also related to the assassination of Concubine Xian.
For a while, whether it was a seventh-grade petty official or a first-grade senior official, the soul was suddenly gone.
Participating in the assassination of the imperial concubine is not a trivial matter, if it is found out, it will be copied all over the house, and there is no room at all.
"This Zhao Tianxiang is looking for his own death, why do you want to take my son with him!"
In the Mansion of the Ministry of Officials, Yao Qingshan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, slapped the table fiercely.
He couldn't believe that his son would be involved in the assassination of Concubine Xian.
Although someone came to spread the message that it was Dali Temple, I felt that the person who went to talk to the sky tonight was suspicious, and brought it back to cooperate with the investigation.
But Yao Qingshan, who has been in the court for many years, naturally knows what the concept of entering the imperial prison is.
The edict prison is not an ordinary prison, it belongs directly to Dali Temple, it can be described as a demon cave, and it is not too much at all.
Not to mention being a suspect, even if he is innocent, if this person is arrested and wants to come out, it is impossible not to take off a layer of skin.
And his son went to the show tonight because of Master Shang.
It is estimated that he also said a few words with help, and he was taken away by the people of Dali Temple.
"Come, prepare things, go to the edict now, I want to ask what the hell is going on."
Yao Qingshan called out to the servant and asked the servant to prepare things and meet his son when he went to the edict.
But when the servant came in, he also looked embarrassed.
"Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the edict prison, and now it's full of blockages."
"What?"
Yao Qingshan turned his head to look at the servant, with a look of surprise, that edict is not a good place, is there still someone rushing to go.
"Almost half of the courtiers' families have been arrested and imprisoned."
"Those ministers are either blocked outside the edict prison and want to build their own families, or they are blocked in the home of Liu Ke, the secretary of Dali Temple."
"But so far, there has been no progress in everything, and neither Dali Temple nor Liu Ke's house has no way to go now."
