Zhao Kuangyin was a typical military man. If he had been kind to him and comforted him, he might still not know what to do at this moment. However, Zhao Ningxiu's beating and scolding only made him hot-blooded, and he couldn't wait to give Han Tong an explanation.

As for why he approached Han Tong instead of the Queen Mother and the three brothers-in-law, it was because Han Tong controlled the life and death of him and his whole family. In order to show his sincerity and magnanimity, he didn't say anything surprising and said straight away: "

Treason is a serious crime!"

Han Tong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are serious. You are the minister chosen by the late emperor to support me. I also have great trust in my Majesty, and my Majesty is also very loyal and respectful to me. How can you say you are rebellious?"

?”

Zhao Kuangyin held Han Tong's arm as if he was afraid that he would run away, "Didn't Han Linggong know that there was a rumor in the capital that he would be the emperor after inspection? These five short words have already put Zhao into a situation of disloyalty and injustice."

Han Tong nodded and said: "I certainly know this sentence. It was in the army during the late emperor's Northern Expedition. It has also been circulated in the streets of Tokyo in the past two days. It is just the gossip of ignorant people. The Taiwei does not need to take it to heart.

Just lead the army northward with peace of mind."

Seeing Han Tong's neither salty nor indifferent attitude, Zhao Kuangyin became a little anxious. He patted his solid chest and said: "Zhao is so sincere and loyal, why is your Majesty so full of lies!"

Han Tong laughed loudly when he heard this, took Zhao Kuangyin's arm and said, "Lieutenant, please come sit down in the room and have a bowl of tea before we talk."

The two entered the hall, and the servant immediately brought the brewed tea. Zhao Kuangyin was already thirsty, so he took the tea bowl and blew on the tea leaves on it, then drank it all in a few sips.

After finishing the drink, he took a deep breath and put the tea bowl aside, clapped his hands on his knees, "If you have anything to ask, just ask me!"

Han Tong smiled and said: "The Lieutenant is so magnanimous, so Han will not tell falsehoods." He stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "Rumors have appeared in the market since yesterday or even earlier, and now the Lieutenant can't stop it.

We are about to break camp in seven or eight hours and set out for battle, why did you wait until now to find me?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Zhao may not believe it when he said it, but I only found out about the rumors of 'checking to become emperor' in Beijing half an hour ago. In the past few days, I have been immersed in military affairs. I just went home to meet my mother, wife and children."

Farewell, I only heard what passers-by said on the road."

Han Tong frowned and asked: "The rumors were already known to everyone in the city yesterday. Don't the officials, staff and subordinates around the Taiwei know about it?"

"They know! But they didn't tell me, saying that the army was about to go on an expedition. If someone knew about this, it would only add to his worries. With worries in his mind, he would not be able to concentrate on leading the troops to fight."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said: "Speaking of them, they also worked hard. As they expected, when one heard about this incident, he immediately became confused and restless at home. After staying there for only a moment, he couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart and came here.

Let’s talk to Ling Gongfen.”

He hid the incident of being beaten and scolded by the girl, probably because he felt embarrassed.

Han Tong nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief of the three armed forces has too many things to deal with. If you still have to worry about the safety of your family, this battle will be impossible. The people under the command of the Taiwei have done the right thing."

This explanation has been sent to Han for most of the time? He asked again: "Does the Lieutenant know who spread this rumor?"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but clenched his fists when he heard this, "When I think of you, I get angry. Is Zhao usually cautious? If he has to, he will never make grudges with others. The person behind the scenes not only wants to frame Zhao for injustice, but also wants to kill Zhao.

The lives of a certain family? If I know who it is, I must cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart."

He stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Han Linggong is in charge of public security in Tokyo. Please send someone to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and then hand them over to His Majesty, so that Zhao can be cleared."

Han Tongtong: "Don't worry, Lieutenant. Han has asked people to conduct a strict investigation in Beijing? The person behind the scenes will be found soon."

Han Tong is bragging. There are so many mouths in Tokyo that there is no way to investigate, and the main envoy will not stay in Tokyo for him to search. Is he just trying to test? A pair of tiger eyes looked at Zhao Kuangyin's black face, hoping to get

What.

Zhao Kuangyin still had a calm face, "A certain person is going to send troops to the north tomorrow? If your Majesty can capture the envoy, you must send someone to notify me immediately so that I can kill the enemy with peace of mind."

Han Tong nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Lieutenant Commander. If you find the person who caused the trouble, I will inform the Lieutenant immediately."

"Thank you so much, Zhao!" Zhao Kuangyin bowed deeply again, "I have to move into the camp tonight and can't stay here for a long time, so I'll take my leave."

Han Tong cupped his hands and said, "Han wishes the captain a successful victory and an early triumph!"

"Queen Mother, in front of Your Majesty and the three ministers, please ask the Lieutenant to help Zhao a lot."

"That's right!"

After Zhao Kuangyin left the living room, Han Wei immediately got out from behind the screen and asked, "Did father just let him go like this?"

Han Tong let out a long breath and said, "What can we do? You have been observing him behind the screen for a long time, but have you ever noticed anything he said that was not entirely true?"

Han Wei also frowned and shook his head, "That's not true. It seems to be very honest, but if it is like this, the more I feel that something is wrong."

Han Tong said angrily: "Shut up if you can't speak. Fortunately, I didn't listen to you, otherwise someone would have harmed Zhongliang." He stood up and walked outside the door, and said to a guard: "Go and remove the people who are monitoring the Zhao family.

Alright."

Han Tong didn't know that when he was monitoring the Zhao family, someone was also monitoring his home. The moment Zhao Kuangyi entered the Han residence, the news spread to the front office like a flying bullet.

Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi were packing their things when they received the news. Half of the Three Souls and Seven Souls were frightened on the spot. Zhao Kuangyi jumped to his feet and complained: "I told you to tell my brother a long time ago. Now, sir, what are you doing in a daze?

If you don’t immediately organize people to rescue your brother!”

Zhao Pu, who was also panicked just now, was calm and composed now, "Don't panic, Tingyi, things may not be as bad as you think."

"My brother has already fallen into the tiger's mouth. Why don't you call him evil? Han Tong is not that easy to deal with. Why don't we start it right away? We don't have to wait until tomorrow."

"Why can't Ting Yi keep calm? I would rather believe that the young emperor in the palace would attack the Taiwei than that Han Tong would attack the Taiwei. The burden given to him by the late Emperor was heavier than that of the three princes, and the risks he took were

It's even bigger, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. Besides, the Taiwei has never had any evil thoughts or actions, so I'm not afraid that he will see something fishy!"

Zhao Pu pressed Zhao Kuangyi on the chair and said, "Just rest assured. Within a moment, the Taiwei will come out of Han Mansion unscathed."

What he said was relaxed was actually because he was worried. The two of them stopped packing their things and just stared in the public house and waited. After about a stick of incense, there were soldiers sent by Zhao Kuangyin.

Notify the two of them, "The lieutenant said that he was going directly to the military camp. You two packed your things and went there quickly!"

After sending away the soldiers, Zhao Kuangyi let out a sigh of relief and said happily: "Sir, you are really good at calculating. It seems that you made the right choice not to tell your brother."
