Fang Zian's eyebrows knitted into a knot, and he said in a deep voice for a long time: "As a disciple, how can I stand still when my teacher is in trouble? Even if there is even the slightest chance, I should try my best to save him. If I just stand back, I'm afraid I will feel sad in my heart.

I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. My mentor gave me three years of teachings and also protected Zian. If Zian abandons him, wouldn’t it be... wouldn’t he be in vain?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao clapped his hands and laughed: "As expected, Brother Zian is not a ruthless and unjust person. I... I knew you would answer like this. It seems that I am right, no.

Wandering. Hahaha. Brother Zian, if you insist on saving me, there is nothing you can do."

Fang Zian hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, I would like to hear the details."

Mr. Zhao said solemnly: "The first is to retract the confession and refuse to admit the conspiracy to assassinate. Grit your teeth and refuse to admit it. If you can't get the confession during the second trial, the case cannot be closed. Of course, you have to hold on.

The punishment in court. The presiding judge of this case is Wei Liangchen, the minister of Dali Temple, who is Qin Hui's private person. If he recants his confession, he will be punished. However, I will not let him do whatever he wants. I will ask my friends to pay attention to this matter and let him

He did not dare to be too presumptuous and harm his respected master's life. This was the first and most important step. If the previous confession could not be overturned, nothing would be mentioned. If the confession could not be obtained, he might still have to be convicted in the end, but

But it will definitely not be execution by execution. Now is not what it used to be, and it will not work to do something unwarranted."

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "In that case, can you ask Brother Zhao to ask your friend to meet my teacher, tell him about this, and let him retract his confession in the second trial?"

Mr. Zhao chuckled and said: "Brother Fang has no contact with court affairs and doesn't know what's going on here. Who will help you pass on this kind of thing? Encourage people to retract their confessions? Are you kidding? No one will pass this on for you.

Moreover, judging from his performance in the first instance, your teacher only wants to die quickly and has no intention of surviving. How can you persuade him?"

Fang Zian frowned and said, "What should we do?"

"It's best for his family and friends to persuade him. Maybe you can give it a try. I can ask my friends to arrange a visit for you, so that you can persuade your teacher in person. Of course, the risk of doing this is,

As soon as you showed up, Qin Hui and others got to know you. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with you, but Qin Hui and others got to know you, which may be very detrimental to your future. You are going to be an official through the imperial examination, and this will affect you.

Of course, on the surface they will not do anything, and this matter will not be implicated on you. But secretly they may cause harm and play dirty tricks. You have to think about it." Mr. Zhao looked at Fang with bright eyes.

Zi'an said.

Fang Zian thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to persuade you. Even if there is a risk, I will do my best. I cannot choose to back down just because I am afraid of the risk. Moreover, I will try to be careful."

Mr. Zhao nodded and said: "Since you are willing to take this risk, I have nothing to say. But I must tell you that if you cannot persuade Zhou Junzheng, the matter will become difficult to reverse. Unless my father... this... the current emperor

Qin Hui can't do anything if he refuses to kill him. But the emperor is unlikely to do this. I do have friends who can speak in front of the emperor, but they may not be able to persuade the emperor. This is a story for later. I will see when the time comes.

Let’s talk about the specific circumstances. In short, persuading your husband to retract his confession is the most effective way.”

Fang Zian was a little shocked. This Mr. Zhao was so powerful.

He was surprised by his large network of contacts. There were actually friends of his who could talk to him even in front of the emperor? Could it be that the friends he made had extremely high status in the court. This Young Master Zhao was not very old, not much older than himself.

How could he make friends with such a high status? Although he didn't think his temperament and behavior were like ordinary people, he didn't expect his energy to be so great, which was incredible. Fang Zian almost thought he was bragging.

"Please ask Brother Zhao to arrange the visit, and Zian will go and persuade him." Fang Zian didn't think much and said firmly in a deep voice.

Mr. Zhao nodded slightly and said: "Okay, if you are not afraid, I will help you make arrangements. Brother Zian is courageous and kind, and Zhao admires him very much. Then it is settled, and the arrangements will be made in these few days.

After that, I will ask Xi Qing to send someone to inform you. The rest is fine."

Fang Zian stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for your help, and thank you, Miss Qin, for your help. Regardless of success or failure, Zian is grateful in his heart and will try to repay you. In this way, Zian will stop disturbing you and leave."

Mr. Zhao smiled and returned the courtesy and said, "That's fine. I'll leave after I sit down. Brother Zian, please go."

Fang Zian nodded and saluted Qin Xiqing again. Qin Xiqing only returned the salute lightly without saying much.

…

Fang Zian went out and left. Mr. Zhao took the tea cup and drank tea slowly. He looked at Qin Xiqing and said, "What's wrong with Xiqing today? She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Qin Xiqing said hurriedly: "It's nothing, let the prince worry about it. Does the prince really want to get involved in this matter?"

Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to help him? Why are you saying such things now?"

Qin Xiqing said softly: "Did Xiqing think twice about asking the prince to interfere in this matter? He might get into trouble. Xiqing seems a little confused."

Mr. Zhao shook his head and said: "That's not scary. I act in secret and don't speak out publicly. The old thief doesn't dare to do anything to me. Furthermore, I must have an attitude. If I don't show my attitude,

Many people in the court are even more afraid of the power of the old thief and do not dare to resist in the slightest. I want them to know that there are people who dare to go against the old thief, instead of the whole court being filled with old thief. This will

It is very good for the overall situation to make them feel that they are not alone. We need time now, and we need the power we have cultivated to enter the court through the imperial examination, so we need to delay time. If the court is full of old thieves' gang members and becomes monolithic,

Then it will be a big deal."

Qin Xiqing nodded slowly and said: "Your Majesty is considering it very much. For people like Fang Zian and others who have passed the imperial examination and become officials in the court, the situation will be much better. Instead of fighting for officials in the court, it would be better to start a new business and go smoothly."

It will only happen in the spring of next year. Once the spring is over, we will see the outcome. By then, the prince will have someone available."

Mr. Zhao smiled and said: "It's not that fast. Even if the Xinke Jinshi enters the court and becomes an official, he will not have much say. It will take some time before he can become powerful. But you are right. At least there are people available in the court. Xinke officials

They also have the power to speak up. Even if the situation cannot be changed, the emergence of voices against the old thieves will be of great benefit to the situation. Especially people like Fang Zian, if they can successfully enter the imperial examination and become an official, they will definitely be my right-hand man.

I can see that this man is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also quite insightful. I heard that his martial arts are pretty good.

It will be of great use in the future."

Qin Xiqing said: "Does the prince value him so much? Xiqing thinks he is just average, maybe only a little better than others."

Mr. Zhao was surprised and said: "What's wrong with Xi Qing? You didn't say that before. You tried your best to praise Fang Zian to me. Why do you say such things now?"

Qin Xiqing blushed and said, "That's... that's because Xi Qing didn't know the person at the time and was impressed by his talent and learning."

Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "No, did Fang Zian offend you? Or did something happen between you two that made you unhappy with him? Just now I felt something was wrong. What happened?"

Qin Xiqing said: "It's nothing. Your Majesty, don't think too much about it."

Mr. Zhao sighed: "Xiqing, I don't want to think too much about it, but you have shown it too obviously. Xiqing, do you like him? If you really like him, I can give it to you.

Make the decision and agree."

Qin Xiqing was shocked and said: "What did the prince say? How could Xiqing fall in love with him? Is he worthy? If Xiqing wants to get married, he only needs to snap his fingers and there will be countless people who will squeeze his head."

Mr. Zhao smiled and said: "I believe this, but the people who come are not your favorite, no matter how many people come, it is useless. Xi Qing, I still understand you, unless you like someone, otherwise you will not

That’s right. Otherwise, how could you have even rejected me in the first place?”

Qin Xiqing blushed and said: "Your Majesty, please don't say such things. Xiqing regards your Majesty as your elder brother, how dare you have any inappropriate thoughts. Besides, Xiqing's identity must not have any personal relationship with the Prince. His reputation is most important.

Otherwise, you will be criticized by others and it will be detrimental to major events."

Mr. Zhao waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I know these truths. You don't need to use these words to beat me. I know you are unwilling, and of course I will not force you. Besides, I have not done that for a long time.

You don’t have to worry about this anymore. A beautiful woman can only have one or the other. Even people like Tang Minghuang can’t have both, let alone me."

Qin Xiqing said softly: "Your Majesty is wise, and you will definitely be the master of sage in the future."

Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "I hope so. That said, Fang Zian is really good. If he successfully passes the imperial examination, I can be a matchmaker for you. Since you like him, don't hide it, otherwise you will regret it in the future."

Qin Xiqing said coldly: "Your Majesty, please stop talking. I don't have any other thoughts about this person. This person doesn't take me seriously at all, treats me with extreme contempt, and speaks slanderously against me. If I didn't think he was a useful person,

Xi Qing will not be polite to him."

Mr. Zhao was even more surprised. Qin Xiqing became angry and did not hide it. She immediately told Mr. Zhao what Fang Zian had said before, and finally said: "This man insults me so much. It would be magnanimous of me not to argue with him. If not,

Because the prince values ​​him highly, I will never rest with him. Xi Qing has never suffered such humiliation."

Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "Indeed, how could Fang Zian say such words? Isn't this an insult to someone's face? Logically speaking, he shouldn't say such bastard words. He has a straightforward temper, but he can't speak like this."

Qin Xiqing was speechless, but Mr. Zhao suddenly said: "I understand, that must be the case. Hahaha, Xiqing, I know why he said such things."
