Chapter 59 Xiao Banxia, ??Miss Xiao's Firm
Deserve it.
This is Zhao Cuo's evaluation of her.
For embezzling tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if ten people were killed in the Dayu court, even if it was not public money, she would have to be exiled for three thousand miles according to the crime of theft! Because of this, she directly lost the support of Mrs. Yan, and only
Can be manipulated by others.
"nonsense!"
Prince Youjun immediately began to refute after she finished speaking.
"How dare you, a wicked woman, frame me. I have never met you. How can I instruct you to falsely accuse the late emperor's widow? You are making empty claims, but you have to provide evidence!"
"Your Majesty is so cruel."
Young Master Zhao couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zi Yi covering his face and crying. As soon as he opened his mouth, he picked up the rhythm and the crowd began to whisper.
[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.]
Prince Youjun's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot for a moment.
He immediately continued to shout.
"Is this how your execution department handles cases? Just because of the ignorant words said by a dishonest person with bad conduct, you exaggerate the unfounded charges against me?"
"My lord, don't be anxious." Zhao Cuoshi said calmly, "I will tell the truth from the traitor to the traitor without mercy."
Prince Youjun clenched his fists and said to me, "Fuck you, I want you to continue to talk nonsense here. Do I still deserve my reputation?"
"I want to go into the palace with you to confront you in front of the emperor!"
He said decisively.
"I think Prince Youjun doesn't take your Majesty's wishes seriously!"
Zhao Cuo once again started to use chicken feathers as arrows to incite hatred towards Queen Mother Zhao.
"The Queen Mother has given me full authority to investigate and handle this case. Do you want to resist the order? If so, just go into the palace and I won't stop you."
"Don't dare."
Prince Youjun took a deep breath. Entering the palace to meet the saint was just an excuse for him to move the battlefield. Today, the saint is only Xu Jun. This Zhao Cuo is the favorite of Empress Dowager Zhao who holds the real power. You don't have to think about it to know that.
He couldn't please him in the palace.
"Then please ask Mr. Zhao to resolve the case quickly. I haven't eaten my breakfast yet. After this is over, how about you and I sit down and have a cup of tea to turn the conflict into friendship?"
He showed kindness and magnanimity again.
"I was worried that I would be coerced if I entered your house, so I decided not to do it."
Zhao Cuo unceremoniously destroyed the situation.
'Your uncle!'
Prince Youjun had never encountered such a dishonest person, and he felt a trace of regret in his heart. He did not expect that Zhao Cuo would be responsible for investigating the case. This was the biggest mistake in his plan!
"Girl in purple, tell me!"
He no longer paid attention to Zhao Cuo but looked at Zi Yi who lowered his head and sobbed silently.
"Have you ever met this king!"
Prince Youjun spoke very loudly so that the onlookers could hear that he had a clear conscience.
"Didn't the prince always ask shopkeeper Zhang Ju to send messages to the women of the country?"
Ziyi looked at Prince Youjun with an aggrieved look.
"That means you've never seen me, right?"
Prince Youjun was not surprised at all by her words. He turned to look at the shivering second shopkeeper of Huting Chamber of Commerce and asked in a calm tone with a frown:
"This is shopkeeper Zhang Juzhang, right? I have never met you, why did you harm me?"
"yes……"
The fat-headed and big-eared Zhang Ju knelt down on the ground with a bang, kowtowed to Prince Youjun like pounding garlic, and said with a trembling voice:
"This villain has never met the prince! It's because he knows that his highness holds a position in the Huting Chamber of Commerce, so he uses your name..."
"Shopkeeper Zhang, that's not what you said just now!"
Zhao Cuo interrupted him with a "shocked" look on his face.
"When you were arrested, you said that the Prince ordered the Huting Chamber of Commerce to open opium dens. If anyone is threatening you, please tell me!"
'I, King Zhao Cuo, are at odds with you!'
The completely stunned Prince Youjun roared in his heart!
He finally understood that the execution department would definitely not be able to get the facts about his involvement in the case. Zhao was deliberately trying to cause trouble!
This gangster knew that there was no way to convict him, so he went to the gate of the palace and staged such a show, hoping that he would be beheaded in a social sense!
What a poisonous heart!
'I asked you to jump into the Yellow River and you won't be able to wash yourself away!'
Zhao Cuo sneered in his heart. Before Ziyi confessed, he had already expected that this woman would not be able to give any hard information about Prince Youjun. The most she could do was let Yan'er clear her grievances.
Prince Youjun is not a fool. How could he send someone who knows his secret to be tortured?
So in order to ruin Dayu's luck and vent his inner frustration, he came here to stir up public opinion.
"I'll kill your cigarette dealer sooner or later!"
Before Zhao Cuo came here, he saw the drug addicts who had been captured, and each one of them was neither human nor ghost. Although he could not say that he was sad, he felt uncomfortable for a while.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, don't be afraid."
He heard the sound and comforted the frightened Zhang Ju, patting his fat back gently, but what he said was heart-wrenching words.
"You don't dare to tell the truth in front of the prince, do you? I will take you back to the Yamen. If you have anything to say, we can talk there."
"No, it's not..."
Zhang Ju was obviously a dead man, and he tremblingly wanted to defend Prince Youjun, but Zhao Cuo would not give him a chance.
"Come here! Invite shopkeeper Zhang to the prison car, and we'll go back to the Yamen!"
Zhao mistakenly gave orders to the left and right.
"Mr. Zhao, please wait!"
Prince Youjun suddenly became anxious.
"You should let this shopkeeper Zhang prove my innocence in public!"
"How can he tell the truth when the prince is present?"
Zhao Cuo pretended to be indignant, and then did not give King Youjun a chance to speak again. He waved his hand and had Zi Yi and Zhang Ju dragged away.
"you!"
Prince Youjun's face turned purple.
"Please, Your Majesty, wait at your residence. When I find out the case, I think the clan's residence will also come to see you."
Zhao Cuo left a coaxing sentence, turned around, mounted his horse, and led a group of executioners to stir up smoke and dust, and disappeared from the eyes of the excited people who had eaten the big melon.
The reason why he dared to do this was because no one could stand up for King Youjun.
The only drawback of this plan is that the Empress Dowager will find him more and more satisfied.
"damn it……"
Prince Youjun looked at Zhao Cuo who was walking away with red eyes.
"Father."
The Crown Prince, who had a bruised nose and face, raised his hand and pinched his father's sleeve and spoke in a low voice.
"We have to be patient!"
"Go back to your house and tell me."
Prince Youjun immediately calmed down and took his son back to the backyard of the palace. The anger on his face was quickly replaced by calmness.
"This Zhao is wrong... I will kill him sooner or later!"
He said with a cold snort.
"After all, plans cannot keep up with changes."
Prince Youjun sighed as the redness and swelling on his face disappeared after taking Daozong's healing elixir.
"I didn't expect that Queen Mother Zhao would hand over such a big case to Zhao Cuo. If Director Lin Anmin coordinated the investigation, they wouldn't think much about it even if they found us and had no evidence."
"Let him forget this matter."
Prince Youjun shook his head after adjusting his mentality.
"The Huting Chamber of Commerce was originally abandoned. I chose to let it use its remaining heat before the cigarette peddling was discovered. It doesn't matter if it fails. After the Chamber of Commerce is destroyed, the resources we have can be used to please those who are about to come to Beijing again.
That lord."
"Father, you mean..."
Prince Youjun opened his eyes wide.
