Because he had already said hello a day in advance, when Zhao Weixian came to the gate of the Zunwang Mansion, there was already a housekeeper waiting for him outside.

"Lord Zhao, you're here!" the butler greeted politely.

Zhao Weixian smiled and arched his hand and said, "It's hard work." ”

"The prince is waiting for you in the study, please come with me. After the butler finished speaking, he led the way and walked to the house.

When he received the post and knew that Zhao Weixian was coming to find him, King Zun didn't feel strange, and even secretly rejoiced.

"Lord Wang, Lord Zhao is here. The butler said outside the study.

Soon, the voice of the king came from inside: "Well, let him in." ”

When Zhao Weixian walked in, King Zun was reading a book, and he didn't roll his eyelids, and he didn't seem to take him seriously at all.

"Xia Guan has seen the prince. Zhao Weixian knelt on the ground and bowed.

As he removed the book from his eyes, he said, "All right, no more." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"Governor Zhao has a lot of opportunities, how can he have free time to come to this king's place today. The king put the book on the table and took a small sip of tea from the tea bowl.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials are here today because they have something to discuss with the prince. ”

"Say it. ”

"When Xia Guan met with the saint yesterday, he heard that the prince wanted to take over the case of secretly sending smuggled salt under the name of Yanyun Tang, and Xia Guan was a little reluctant to go. Zhao Weixian said.

The king smiled slightly, and while skimming the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid on the tea bowl, he asked, "What do you want not to go?"

"Lord Wang, you have worked hard for decades, and now is the time to enjoy happiness, besides, this case has always been investigated by me, and I ask the prince to give the lower officials a face. ”

As soon as he heard Zhao Weixian say this, King Zun immediately determined that the emperor must have exempted Zhao Weixian from this errand, but Zhao Weixian was unwilling, so he came to find him in person.

Thinking of this, the king said: "I told the emperor about this matter yesterday, and the emperor said that he should think about it, why, you also saw the emperor yesterday? What did the emperor say?"

Asked about this, although Zhao Weixian said very reluctantly, he didn't dare not say it, let alone say nonsense: "The emperor asked the ministers to put down this errand and let His Royal Highness the King handle it with full authority." ”

"That's not it, look at you, the emperor has said it, you and I are courtiers, what else can I say, then so be it, tomorrow will officially hand over this case, you sort out all the clues you have found in the past few days, and turn them over to this king." King Zun didn't give Zhao Weixian a chance to continue arguing, and began to talk about the handover straightforwardly, which caught Zhao Weixian off guard.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhao Weixian's heart is also like a mirror, knowing that the king is determined to take care of this matter, since this is the case, he doesn't have to argue anymore, otherwise, once the king gets angry, he will be in trouble. "Since the prince is dedicated to contributing to the country, the lower official has no other intention except admiration, and this matter will be done according to the prince's instructions, but it is just some clues found in the past few days, and the lower official did not leave a record for the sake of secrecy, but the lower official has all recorded it in his mind, and if the prince needs it, the lower official can write it out. ”

Zhao Weixian's careful thinking still can't be concealed in the eyes of the king: "Oh? Then there is no need, go back to the king and figure it out by himself, is there anything else that Governor Zhao has to do?"

Hearing this, the king was about to expel the guest, but Zhao Weixian had no intention of leaving, and then asked: "Lord Wang, the lower officials dare to ask, I don't know what the prince thinks about this case of transporting illicit salt?"

"Well, I don't have any opinion for the time being, but to say a digression, I always suspect that there seem to be people in the court who have colluded with some martial arts people to do some unsightly things recently, hey, you said that this time Yanyuntang's dart bureau transported illegal salt, will it also have a connection with some people in the court?"

Since the last time Chi Zhongtian brought the news, King Zun has always taken that matter to heart, and now he just takes advantage of this opportunity to knock Zhao Weixian.

Sure enough, after Zhao Weixian heard this, his expression was obviously a little weird, and all of this was captured in his mind.

"What this prince said was something that Xia Guan had never thought about. Zhao Weixian said with some panic.

"This may be because the king is too worried, but for the country, for the emperor, you must be thoughtful, this is the same as playing Go, whoever calculates more, who plans carefully, who will win, what do you think?" asked the king lightly.

"That's that, the lower official has been taught. ”

"Lord Wang, if you don't have any orders, the lower officials will retire first, and at noon tomorrow, the case will be handed over in the yamen of Dali Temple, what do you think, Lord Wang?"

"Well, just do as you say. ”

"Okay, then the next official will retire. ”

"Lord Zhao walks slowly, and this king will not be far away. ”

After leaving the Zunwang Mansion, Zhao Weixian, who was originally normal, suddenly had an angry face, and he gritted his teeth and walked into the sedan chair, while panting heavily.

Just after Zhao Weixian left, the side door behind the king's study was opened, and a person came out of it, it was the Taifu of the dynasty, Yongmen Zhen.

"Lord Wang. ”

"Brother Yongmen, how is it to sit, how do you feel?" asked the king.

Yongmen Zhen sat down and said, "At first, I didn't think anything of it, but when he asked him about your opinion on this matter, I felt a little strange, did he want to say something from the prince's mouth?"

"Yes!" the king slapped the table suddenly, and continued, "You and I wanted to go together, so I shook him." ”

"I have to say, I really admire the trick of the prince and your zuihou knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, as soon as you finished speaking, he Zhao Weixian left immediately, I think, he should have noticed something. Yongmen Zhen said.

"You weren't here just now, when he heard me say that someone colluded with people in the martial arts, that expression was very unnatural, think about it, he Zhao Weixian has been in the court for many years, and he pretends to be first-class, but today he is timid, what does it mean?"

Yongmen Zhen nodded and said, "It means that you have poked his sore spot, Lord Wang." ”

"So, we have to hurry up on this matter, by the way, has there been any movement from the three princes recently?" asked the king again.

Yongmen shook his head and said: "There is no movement, it's still the same as usual, but something is wrong with the second prince recently." ”

The king was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Something is wrong?

"A few days ago, Zidi was ordered to accompany the second prince to Jingshan to hunt, and met the third prince on the way, and then the two had a dispute and almost started to fight. ”

"What? "Is there such a thing?" asked the King as he sat up sharply and asked in a surprised tone.
