Chapter 56 The Enemy Is Not King Zhou You

"I'll make arrangements right now, but even so, there won't be news so quickly in the past two days. If you are tired, you can go home and rest first."

Su Chengji nodded and said.

"Everyone is working on things, how can I sleep? I'll just wait here for the news."

Zhao Cuo said with a smile.

Su Chengji raised her hand and patted his shoulder, then turned and walked out of the class room.

After watching him leave, Mr. Zhao raised his hand and touched his chin again, looking thoughtful.

"Experts can often predict the opponent's prediction..."

Zhao Cuo stood up and walked outside the house. He quickly arrived outside the prison of the executioner's department and saw Ziyi without any obstruction.



On the first night of the investigation, more than a dozen reports were placed on the desk in Zhao Cuo's hall, and the investigation went surprisingly smoothly.

Although the people sent out did not obtain direct evidence, under the intensity of the search, they found all clues.

However, on April 5, a complete chain of evidence regarding the Huting Chamber of Commerce's cigarette trafficking into Beijing was sorted out.

"The evidence is conclusive that the Huting Chamber of Commerce opened six opium dens in Beijing! However, we have not found the slightest sign that this case is related to Prince Youjun. The problem now is..."

In the lobby of the execution department's yamen, Zhao Cuo was sitting at a round table filled with files. Opposite him were Su Chengji and Chief Yan Yang.

"The problem is that the properties under Mrs. Yan's name have many contacts with the Huting Chamber of Commerce. She rented out some of the opium shops. Plus Zi Yi's confession, she can't escape the crime of conspiracy, right?"

Zhao Cuo calmly followed the words of the ugly-faced Su Chengji.

"yes."

Deputy Director Su picked up a freshly written document with a gloomy expression.

"Judging from the evidence found so far, Mrs. Yan is collaborating with the Lianjing Foreign Chamber of Commerce to sell cigarettes, and Ziyi is her external interlocutor."

"Let's get ready."

Zhao Cuo pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Arrest them at sunrise tomorrow morning!"

His tone was decisive.

"To the Lake Court Chamber of Commerce?"

Su Chengji asked with relief.

He was afraid that Zhao Cuo would not let go of Prince Youjun's palace.

Now that there is an opportunity to close the case, it is best not to get involved in the struggle for imperial power.

"Follow the original plan."

Zhao Cuo looked at Chief Yan who had a cold face and remained silent. He took out the Queen Mother's Yi Zhi from his sleeve and handed it to him, and said in a pleading tone:

"I still have to trouble you, Chief Yan Yang. Tomorrow I ask you to go and surround the Youjun Prince's Mansion with the Emperor's decree. No matter what, you must wait until I get there."

"knew."

Yan Yang calmly took the silk book he handed over.

"No blame..."

Su Chengji was a little anxious.

"We have no evidence, so we attack a county king in such a big way. What if we get the wrong result and the empress blames us?"

"Uncle, don't worry."

Zhao Cuo remained calm.

"Prince Youjun's Mansion is involved in the Huting Chamber of Commerce. Although we can't convict him on this, this case is barely related to them. It's not too much to find a reason to investigate them. Nothing will happen."

"this……"

Su Chengji showed hesitation, glanced at the Yizhi in Yan Yang's hand, and finally said nothing.

"Let's not mention the matter of sealing off the Youjun Prince's Mansion. Uncle, your mission is also very important. We must arrest all the suspects involved in the case from the Huting Chamber of Commerce."

Zhao Cuo continued.

"clear."

Su Chengji responded and suddenly noticed that Zhao Cuo had not arranged anything for him. Even the original plan a few days ago for him to lead the people to seal the Prince's Mansion of Youjun was replaced by Yan Yang.

"Wujiu, what are you going to do?"

He thought about Zhao Cuo always running to the prison these days.

"What else do you want to ask from Ziyi?"

"Um."

Zhao Cuo nodded lightly.

"Since you have decided to handle this case this way, my uncle also supports you. I will prepare for tomorrow's action."

Su Chengji stood up, nodded to him and turned to leave.

"I'm going to make some arrangements too."

Chief Yan Yang also said calmly and walked out of the hall.

"call……"

Zhao Cuo raised his hand to rub his slightly sore forehead.

"I knew that things were not that simple. This Huting Chamber of Commerce is basically someone else's abandoned son. Even if I didn't think of Youjun Prince's Mansion, the Execution Department would definitely find the problems here if they investigate step by step. They just want to use this Chamber of Commerce to attract people.

Yan'er goes into the water."

Among the evidence and materials collected in the past few days, he could not find any black information about Prince Youjun's palace. Instead, as the investigation deepened, he also found that the prince had a good reputation among the people, and even had the title of "King Youxian"

” is called.

"The one who dares to go against the Queen Mother is unlikely to be 'King You of Zhou'."

Zhao Cuo once again walked into the night and came to the prison of the execution department. His eyes had become sharp. Now the only way to break the situation lies in Ziyi.

"As long as she can tell the truth..."

He greeted the jailer and walked into a clean and bright cell. A beautiful girl in lavender dark clothes sat cross-legged on a straw mat with a calm expression.

"Sir, are you here again?"

Hearing the sound of opening the door, the beautiful Ziyi opened her eyes and looked calmly at Zhao Cuo who walked in.

"I'm here to inform you of something."

Zhao Cuo pulled up a chair and sat down in front of her. He looked down at the beautiful woman in front of him, nodded to her and said:

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"Where did we talk yesterday?"

"Your Majesty, the Execution Department has preliminary evidence that the Huting Chamber of Commerce transported cigarettes to Beijing."

Although Ziyi is in prison, he is calm and composed.

"When I heard you say that, the little girl was shocked. I was originally wondering where the Fushou Ointment that my master ordered me to manage on my behalf came from. I didn't expect that it was colluded with such a big business. But this is not the case.

It’s not surprising either.”

She spoke from the perspective of the victim.

"I'll continue what I said yesterday."

There was a calm and unhurried smile on Zhao Cuo's handsome face.

He would come over in the evenings these days to inform Ziyi of the latest developments in the case.

At the beginning, when this woman heard that he wanted to investigate the Huting Chamber of Commerce, she still didn't change her expression. She immediately let him understand that she was still far away from the truth. He didn't know what would happen to this woman when she knew that he had investigated Prince Youjun.

What a reaction.

"Our company has obtained complete evidence of the crimes committed by the Huting Chamber of Commerce. I have just issued an arrest order, and a group of suspects will be your neighbors tomorrow."

Zhao Cuo spoke slowly.

"Thank you, sir."

Ziyi smiled at him.

"It seems that the civilian girl will be able to clear her grievances soon. Master forced me to do all of this. Please ask the execution department to give me justice."

"It is our duty to punish rape and eradicate evil."

Zhao Cuo seemed to say it casually.
