Chapter 159 Shameless

When the prince heard Mr. Shen's words, some thoughts vaguely appeared in his mind.

The case of the Shanxi mutiny, Zhao family, is Mr. Shen referring to those people in Lin Sizhen?

The prince lifted his robe and sat on the chair: "Tell me carefully."

Mr. Shen whispered: "I sent someone to stare at the centurion Peng Liang. Peng Liang took some people to sneak into the mountains to save Zhao. We asked someone to take them down and interrogate them. Peng Liang refused to say anything, but his subordinates couldn't help but reveal a word, saying that they were killing traitors for the court.

I immediately revealed my identity as a man from the Eastern Palace. Peng Liang's subordinates revealed the truth that everyone in the Wei Dynasty had affair with the Tatars for many years. The Tatars had already done whatever they wanted in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The court was deceived twelve years ago. Now that I will take the wrong path, it will inevitably lead to a disaster. I have to ask again, but Peng Liang stopped me."

"Why did Peng Liang stop this?" said the prince, "What is he hiding?"

Mr. Shen said: "I probably guessed that the man mentioned something twelve years ago. The relationship between Zhao's family twelve years ago was a mutiny in Shanxi. They were full of injustice. It can be seen that they felt that this matter was strange. Zhao and Peng Liang were in Qi County for many years, and they had been searching for evidence to reverse the case for the Zhao family."

The prince felt that Mr. Shen’s inference was very reasonable. Mr. Shen could have deduced the art of deduction and could predict the results after a little knowledge of some information.

The prince stared at Mr. Shen: "Then have they found evidence?"

Mr. Shen said: "The prince can call Peng Liang and his subordinates over to ask. After they see the prince, they will definitely tell the truth."

"Okay," said the prince, "they came immediately without delay."

After saying this, the prince remembered again: "Princess Huairou..."

Mr. Shen said: "The princess just received the news from the princess. Now that the princess is in the mountains, it will take some effort to catch up with the princess, but we must also ask the truth quickly to control the situation."

The prince also knew that this was extraordinary and immediately sat down seriously. When the guards of the East Palace brought the two people into the house, the prince immediately looked over and saw that the older person had a sense of awesomeness. It should be what Mr. Shen said about Peng Liang. The younger one next to him raised his head to face him with a little dazed, and his eyes were obviously Peng Liang's subordinate.

"Crown Prince." Peng Liang bowed his head and saluted.

The prince said lightly: "Have you seen me?"

Peng Liang said: "The prince once came to the garrison to pay tribute to the soldiers, and the general once looked at him from a distance."

The prince was very satisfied: "Since you know this palace, let me tell you about the matter with Zhao."

Peng Liang hesitated and slowly lowered his head.

The prince's face added a little more majestic: "What? What did you do, even this palace wants to hide it?"

"Brother Liang," Ding Gui next to him finally couldn't help it, "This is Your Highness, Your Highness, who would you tell him about such a thing?"

Peng Liang was still silent.

The prince's patience was gradually worn out: "Then start with your affair with Zhao?"

"No," Peng Liang raised his head when he heard this, "I and Zhao... Zhao's family are innocent."

"I heard that Zhao had married you long ago," said the prince, "Do you know that Zhao or the Cheng family wife?"

"Cheng Family," a look of resentment flashed across Peng Liang's face, "Is that husband's family who wants to kill her? The Cheng family ordered her to go back to her parents' home to mourn, but on the way, she sent someone to sank the boat, trying to drown her in the river. Thanks to her knowing how to swim since she was a child, she hugged a driftwood in panic, and then met me who was lying on a boat across the river, so she was able to survive. Since then, Cheng has no longer been her husband's family."

Peng Liang's eyes were slightly distant, as if he remembered what happened back then: "At the beginning, Zhao refused to reveal her identity to me. Later, the Cheng family salvaged the bodies everywhere. I guessed it and asked Zhao again and again before telling the truth. I realized that she was actually General Zhao's daughter.

I once served under the command of the Old General Zhao and always admired the Old General. If I had not been transferred to the Xingdusi of Shaanxi later, I would have been guarding the Yulin Guard with the Old General. I would not believe that the Old General was a collusion with the foreign thieves.

Zhao knew that the husband's family was harming her, but she was not sad. Instead, she felt that this was a good thing. If she died, the Cheng family would not make things difficult for her eldest son. She could also seek justice for her father without any scruples after she was separated from the identity of Cheng's wife.

I admire Zhao's character and decided to help Zhao. Although Zheng Bian, the commander at that time, died, the people who followed Zheng Bian were still working in Shaanxi. I stayed in the garrison and slowly approached them. Sooner or later, I found evidence of their false accusation of the Old General Zhao.

It is also considered that the heaven pays off. I went to work with a guard under Zheng Bian and found that they had contact with the Tatars. I said that the Old General Zhao had contact with Jinong, the eldest son of the Tatar Khan. The court intercepted the letter written by Jinong to Zhao that he was charged with the crime of Zhao's collusion with foreign enemies. In fact, this was not the case. The people who were really in contact with Jinong were the generals who guarded the border.

I learned from the guard that Jinnong had a sister who was beautiful and beautiful. In order to win over others to serve him, Jinnong married the sister to someone else as a concubine. I let him sneak into Tatars and find a portrait of Jinnong's sister, who was actually Zheng Bian's concubine.

After Zheng Bian's death, the Tatar woman returned to the Tatar and married a tribal leader. Now she has three sons and three daughters. The daughter she and Zheng Bian gave birth to were deeply trusted by the Jinnong and remained in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

I and Zhao and I have been searching everywhere, searching for the whereabouts of Zheng Bian's daughter. Because I frequently inquire about Zheng's family affairs, I was targeted. Zhao knew that she was very dangerous and her biological son came to her and refused to recognize her. Although we found out about these, there was not much evidence in our hands. The Shanxi mutiny involved too much. Not only could these things be used to overturn the case for the Old General Zhao, but the matter of Zhao's life would also be leaked. If Zhao was arrested, who would still seek justice for the Old General Zhao?

While we were hesitating, a group of bandits captured Zhao.

The prince glanced at Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen immediately said, "Are you sure that is a bandit?"

Peng Liang hesitated: "I thought it was because they took away the property from the house. Later... I took people to search in the surrounding mountains and found that these people were powerful by bandits. Not only were they hidden, but they also had scouts under their command to report me, tricking me into circles around.

Last night I finally found their place and approached the camp carefully. I found someone speaking Tatar. In amazement, I almost alarmed the people on the mountain. Thanks to our retreat in time... We fled down the mountain, and then we were caught by the guards of the East Palace."

Hearing the Tatar language, the prince's hair stood up and felt the danger approaching him.

The Tatars are here, what do they do? How many soldiers do they have?

The prince looked at Peng Liang: "Did you see the prince consort of Huairou?"

Peng Liang nodded: "I know the prince-consort is here, I just want to report the message to the prince-consort." The prince asked him before, and he was a little hesitant because he trusted the prince more. He could not know which side the prince would stand on. Once the choice was wrong, Zhao would not be rescued. But now, he had no choice.

"Your Highness," Peng Liang said, "Now you need to know the prince-consort, the Tatars cannot be bandits. They pretend to be bandits to abduct Zhao, which may be to lead the prince-consort to be deceived. If the prince-consort is caught by them...then something big will really happen."

Of course the prince knew that the royal relatives were arrested and insulted the national system. Such a thing had never happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty in so many years.

The prince lowered his head and thought, and Mr. Shen said, "Take them down first, and His Highness the Prince will make a decision."

Peng Liang also wanted to speak, and Mr. Shen comforted him: "It is of great importance. It is useless to say more. It will disturb Your Highness's thinking. Your Highness will definitely save people."

Peng Liang then lowered his head.

When the house calmed down again, the prince hurriedly spoke: "We set off for the capital immediately. If we want to resist the Tatars, we must mobilize elite soldiers and generals. Although I am the prince... but a clever wife cannot cook without rice. How can we fight against the enemy without thousands of soldiers?"

Mr. Shen said: "Didn't the prince think about holding those Tatars?"

"How to get it?" said the prince, "What can I do?"

"The Tatars wanted to capture the princess and the prince-consort to threaten the Great Zhou Dynasty. The prince could use tricks to mobilize some people to surround the Tatars, and surrounded them," Mr. Shen sighed when he said this, "Isn't you willing to give up Princess Huairou?"
