"You all go down."

After calming down, Zhou Shan sat tremblingly on the chair behind him, took a sip of tea on the table, and then looked at the other officials present and said, "You all go down." ”

Seeing this scene, everyone present also realized that something was wrong, and quickly retreated and walked outside.

In an instant, in the entire hall, only Wang Xi and Zhou Shan were left.

Looking at Wang Xi, who was still kneeling in front of him, Zhou Shan asked with a gloomy expression: "Tell me, who else is there,

Say it all, don't leave any one behind! ”

Wang Xi's body trembled, the look on his face was slightly hesitant, and he was just about to speak.

Bang!

Zhou Shan had already slapped him, directly pumping Wang Xi backwards, and then stepped forward, stepped on Wang Xi's body, and scolded: "At this moment, do you still want to hide it from me?" ”

After saying that, he slapped it again and slapped it directly.

Smack!

Two slaps in quick succession.

Wang Xi's face suddenly swollen like a pig's head, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Shan for the first time.

Touching his face, which was already a little red and swollen, Wang Xi said timidly: "There is also the eldest uncle." ”

"Uncle?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shan's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at Wang Xi with disbelief in his eyes, "How could he get involved?" ”

After speaking, the look on his face suddenly became desolate, and he stepped forward tremblingly, looked at the courtyard that was already empty at the moment, and said with a sad expression: "Is it true that the sky is going to kill my Zhou family?" ”

After saying that, there was a pop.

Zhou Shan knelt directly on the ground, and when he raised his head again, the look on his face was already unprecedentedly sad.

The so-called eldest uncle is actually not the husband of Wang Xi's other aunt, but his cousin Zhou Shan, Zhou Xing!

Even Zhou Shan didn't expect it.

Zhou Xing had been sent by Zhao Chongyuan to the Imperial History Museum to repair books, but he didn't expect that he would be able to do this?

"No, you tell me, who else? How many people did you cram into this this time? ”

After thinking about it, Zhou Shan's expression suddenly froze, his sad eyes suddenly became cold, and he turned his head and looked at Wang Xi viciously.

"And ....."

"You say."

Zhou Shan was furious, raised his foot and kicked it again.

Wang Xi subconsciously shrank a little, and seeing that Zhou Shan didn't kick over, he took two steps back cautiously, and looked at Zhou Shan with some fear: "And the king of Xiangnan?" King Qi Si? ”

"The royal family is actually involved?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shan's brows did not freeze again, but looked at Wang Xi with some surprise.

The king of Xiangnan, the king of Qi Si, is the nephew of Zhao Chongyuan.

According to the system of the Great Cadre Law.

A generation of princes who do not inherit the throne is named the king of one word.

Such as Zhao Ding's Yan King, Zhao Hua's Han King, Zhao Gang's Qin King, Zhao Heng's Jin King, and so on.

But once a generation of princes died.

When the descendants inherit the throne, the title will be lowered by one rank, from the original one-character king to the two-character county king, and all the Yulu rice will also be reduced in turn.

And the king of Shonan and the king of Qi Si are such titles.

His father is Zhao Chongyuan's own brother, especially the king of Xiangnan, who is the younger brother of Zhao Chongyuan's mother.

The king of Xiang died early, so only the son of the king of Xiangnan was left.

Because of the same mother's compatriots and the deep relationship between brothers, this king of Xiangnan was raised by Zhao Chongyuan.

It can be said that he is a nephew who is closer than the prince.

Now that the king of Shonan is involved in this matter, it means that there is still a chance to maneuver in this matter.

After all, Zhao Chongyuan cares most about family affection.

This point, Zhou Shan has followed Zhao Chongyuan for many years, and he understands it best in his heart.

If Zhao Chongyuan is reluctant to attack the king of Xiangnan, then his eldest brother Zhou Xing and the only nephew of his wife's family will naturally be able to open the net.

The official position may not be kept, but at least the life is still there.

"So, the masterminds this time are not you and Zhou Xing?"

After thinking for a while, Zhou Shan turned around and looked meaningfully at Wang Xi, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Listening to Zhou Shan's words, how could Wang Xi not understand.

In fact, this matter is indeed not his mastermind, but Zhou Xing!

As for the king of Xiangnan and the king of Qi Si, they are just two people who are short of money.

But now Zhou Shan asked.

That is obviously a deliberate attempt to put the fault and the mastermind on the heads of King Qi Si and King Shonan.

In this way, the main responsibility naturally falls on his head.

"Uncle, naturally it's not a nephew, the nephew is just a small head of the household six products, how dare you do this, all this is the idea of the king of Xiangnan, if it weren't for the king of Xiangnan to find his nephew and coerce his nephew as the prince, my nephew I would not dare to participate in this matter even if I have nine heads."

Wang Xi cried and shouted.

Listening to Wang Xi's words, Zhou Shan smiled meaningfully, "Remember, after entering the palace, everything will be explained truthfully!" ”

At present, since Zhao Ding is so fanfare and does not hide this matter, he is naturally fully prepared.

It's only a matter of time before the person behind it is found out.

So now, instead of waiting for Zhao Ding to bring someone to get Wang Xi, it is better for him to bring Wang Xi into the palace to meet Zhao Chongyuan directly.

And that Zhou Xing!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shan almost gritted his teeth.

It's time for my cousin to teach a lesson after all!

……

At the same time, the other side.

Inside the prison of the Inner Division.

Zhao Ding stood outside the prison of the Inner Mansion Division, listening expressionlessly to the screams coming from inside from time to time.

It didn't take long.

Zhang San walked out with a smile on his face.

It's just that compared to the previous in the Confucius Temple in Nandou Lane, Zhang San at this moment has blood stains in many places, revealing a bloody breath from the inside out.

The whole person was filled with a cold smell.

Seeing Zhang San coming, Zhao Ding subconsciously covered his nose.

Zhang San didn't care about this, he wiped the blood on his hands with a smile, then looked at Zhao Ding and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, guess what I asked?" ”

"What?"

Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The mastermind of this incident is an old acquaintance of yours."

Zhang San said with a smug smile.

"Old acquaintances?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows.

If it was in Youzhou, there were really not many of his old acquaintances left, because most of them were dead.

But in this day's right.

That's really much.

"Who? Zhao Gang? Zhao Heng? ”

Zhao Ding asked subconsciously.

"Zhou Xing!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ding's eyebrows suddenly raised, and then he looked at Zhang San with some surprise: "Are you sure?" ”

Zhou Xing was sent by his son Zhao Chongyuan to the Hanlin Academy to repair books.

How can you do this?

However, he saw Zhang San frowning slightly and said, "There are also your two cousins, King Qi Si and King Xiangnan." ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Zhao Ding's brows suddenly twisted.
