Upon hearing that Zhao Guan's family had also investigated some clues, Zhang Jun immediately became interested, but he still behaved very calmly.

"I am stupid, I wonder what clues your Majesty has found?"

"Of course they are smuggled at the border." Zhao Ning said with a kind face, "But these are small things, I am too lazy to worry about them."

"Your Majesty, this is a big deal. It is related to the military and political issues of the country and the country. Those people are smuggling..."

"Oh, what Zhang Qing said seems to make sense."

"These people deliberately released Zong Han for smuggling. Such a serious crime is really..." Zhang Jun paused, thought for a moment, and continued, "Of course, although there are reports from the Shenwu Army, I believe

Commander Yue is innocent. Commander Yue enforces the law impartially and serves the country wholeheartedly. The soldiers and generals below all love Commander Yue and are loyal to him. When they heard that he sent troops to Zhongshan Prefecture, the people went to the roadside to greet him, shouting "Yue Fei..."

…”

Zhang Jun is getting more and more excited.

"Why are you calling Yue Fei?" Zhao Ning asked.

Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment and said: "Long live Yue Fei!"

"Oh, is this happening?"

"Commander Yue is naturally loyal to His Majesty." Zhang Jun changed the topic again, "But..."

Zhang Jun's ability to confuse right and wrong and make false claims is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhao Ning cooperated with him and continued to ask: "But what?"

"But the people below may not be loyal to His Majesty. They only follow Yue Pegasus's lead. Just in case..."

At this point, Zhang Jun stopped talking.

"What if?"

"What if someone in yellow robe comes to wear me one day, then..."

As soon as he said these words, Zhao Ning's face suddenly darkened.

Zhang Jun was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am just expressing my worries. Commander Yue is loyal to Your Majesty. Commander Yue is the pillar of our Song Dynasty!"

What kind of words can kill someone?

While highly affirming you, at the same time saying that you are a fatal threat.

This kind of statement sounds very objective and unselfish, but if you really believe it, you will be deceived.

"So, Yue Fei is suspected of treason?" Zhao Ning's tone turned cold.

"No, no, Commander Yue is definitely not suspected of treason! But we don't know what the people below are thinking! After all, they even let Zong Han go!"

Zhao Ning sneered: "What you said seems to make sense."

"I'm just saying what's in my heart. I'm always thinking about your majesty and the country of the Song Dynasty. Your majesty's thoughts are my actions. Your majesty asks me to go east, but I will never go west. I am willing to do everything for your majesty.

!”

"Okay! Well said! I like to hear this!"

"I am not a flattering minister. I hope to be your Majesty's pillar and share your worries!"

"Well, you did share my worries for me." Zhao Ning's tone was still kind, "I ask you, do you know Wang Can from Pengcheng?"

Zhang Jun's heart trembled slightly, of course he knew Wang Can, his white gloves.

However, if the Zhao Guan family wanted to investigate Wang Can, they would never be able to find him.

Because Zhang Jun is very particular about what he does.

Zhang Jun said: "I heard that I met him last year about the food problem in the army. I went to him to buy some food for emergency use. Why did your Majesty ask him?"

"Oh, it's nothing. He said that you are his backer and can make my Guards Brigade die without a trace in this area."

Zhang Jun immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely nothing to do with this person. Your Majesty is aware of it and I am willing to cooperate with the imperial court's investigation."

"I believe you, but look, this Wang Can is going to be brought to Tokyo for trial. He told me that he has conclusive evidence of your smuggling."

Zhang Jun suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

That’s not right! When did I leave evidence?

Every time Wang Can makes money at the border, he buys things at high prices here. How can this be called smuggling?

This is not called smuggling!

But Zhang Jun was still a little scared, because he was not Wang Can, so how could he know what Wang Can had there.

"If these evidences are sent back to Tokyo and handed over to the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Imperial City Department, you will face a public trial."

Zhao Guanjia's tone was gentle, but this gentleness made Zhang Jun's shoulders weigh as heavy as a mountain.

Zhang Jun is indeed a very cunning person. He has a lot of white gloves underneath and he will never show up in person.

He plays with money very smoothly, and in front of other officials, it is simply childish.

However, since Zhao Ning had deliberately arranged for him to come to the border earlier, there would definitely be no way to deal with him.

Zhao Ning changed his subject and continued: "I know that you are loyal to me."

"Yes! My loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon!"

"However, you are now involved in this major border smuggling case. If the three divisions are interrogated and the Imperial City Division comes out with the case and there is conclusive evidence, I will not be able to protect you. Do you understand?"

Zhang Jun was so frightened that cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. His voice was a little hoarse: "Your Majesty..."

"Tell me truthfully whether you have committed smuggling or not. If you tell me now, before the evidence has been sent to the capital, I will find a way for you to protect you."

"Your Majesty, I was wronged. I would never do that kind of thing!"

Seeing that Zhao Ning couldn't deceive Zhang Jun, he took a deep breath and shouted outside: "Jing Chao, go and bring Zhao Mi to see me."

"Yes!" Jing Chao's voice came from outside.

As soon as Zhao Ning said these words, Zhang Jun froze in place as if he had been hit hard.

Next, the monarch and his ministers fell into a dead silence.

The cold sweat on Zhang Jun's forehead dropped to the ground.

Could Zhao Mi be someone placed by Zhao Guan’s family?

Zhang Jun's mind was like lightning.

Fortunately, my own accounts were all handed over to my son Zhang Zigai.

Even if Zhao Mi knew that he was smuggling, he had no evidence. Even if he was arranged to do business at the border, those transactions were all with merchants within the country.

In a sentence: I, Zhang Jun, have never smuggled anything. I always buy and sell goods with border merchants!

Today, the Zhao Guan family attaches great importance to evidence collection.

This is also true. If you want to investigate the deputy commander of a military region, you cannot convict him with just one sentence.

If it were really that simple, there would be a large number of unjust cases and wrongful convictions, and those with evil intentions would definitely take the opportunity to accuse Zhongliang everywhere.

"I heard that Zhao Mi went back and forth in the border zone to check past business travelers?" Zhao Ning sat down again, picked up the teacup and drank slowly, his voice as calm as water.

Zhang Jun was stunned for a while before he realized: "I asked him to strictly investigate the smuggling to prevent the Jin people from infiltrating. It has nothing to do with smuggling!"

"I know it has nothing to do with smuggling."

Not long after, Zhao Mi came in and said, "I'm here to see your Majesty."

"No gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Jun's heart was in his throat.

"Zhao Mi, I ask you, who let Zong Han go?"

When Zhao Guanjia asked this, Zhang Jun was immediately stunned.

Zhao Mi has no evidence of smuggling by himself, but he...

Zhao Mi said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it was Deputy General Manager Zhang who let me go."

"You..." Zhang Jun stared at Zhao Mi with wide eyes, staring at his former confidant.

"How did you know?" Zhao Ning asked again.

"I was with Deputy General Manager Zhang throughout the whole process. It was Deputy General Manager Zhang who said that Zong Han was released. Moreover, he said that by releasing Zong Han, he would be able to expand business with the Kingdom of Jin in the future."

"Your Majesty, he has wronged me!" Zhang Jun shouted desperately, "I have absolutely no money trade with the Kingdom of Jin."

"I know you didn't, but who let Zong Han go?"
