Zhao Hongmin looked at Zhao Hongrun, his cousin, and sighed silently.
In fact, as early as he heard that Zhao Chengxiu, the prince of Yuanyang Prince, encountered a thief at Cuixiaoxuan in Fangshui Pavilion, he had already predicted it.
After all, if others don’t know about Miss Su who lives in Cuixiaoxuan of a waterside pavilion, how can Zhao Hongmin still not know about her?
That was his cousin Zhao Hongrun's woman.
Therefore, when Zhao Hongmin heard the word Cui Xiaoxuan, he subconsciously thought of Zhao Hongrun.
When he came with the clan's Yulin Junerlang to take a look, it turned out that it was indeed this man again.
So the question arises, how to deal with it?
On one side is Zhao Chengxiu, the eldest son of Prince Yuanyang, and on the other side is Prince Su Zhao Hongrun. They are both brothers of the Ji clan, so it is naturally difficult to deal with them.
What's even more terrible is that Prince Su's cousin, Hongrun, is no longer what he used to be. Not only is he currently the most influential prince in Daliang, but even the elders in the clan admire this junior.
But it happened that this junior, who was highly regarded by the elders of the Ji family, stripped a brother of the Ji family's branch in a brothel, and looked like he was about to throw it into the river. This... is really
Tricky!
"Everyone, stand down!"
Zhao Hongmin waved his hand.
Seeing this, the clan's Yulin army men behind him all exited the room, and Zhao Chengxiu's guard was also pulled out by covering his mouth.
"Bang."
The door was closed.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongmin slowly walked towards Zhao Hongrun. After glancing at the three women in the inner room through the gauze curtain, he turned to look at Zhao Hongrun and whispered: "In this brothel, you take off his clothes."
What are you planning to do?"
"I was planning to throw him out." Zhao Hongrun shrugged and said with a smile: "Who told this guy to rush in when my younger brother was having a private meeting with his beloved woman? Not only did he speak rudely to my younger brother's woman, he also intended to kill her.
Take away..."
Zhao Hongmin glanced at Zhao Chengxiu's guards who were lying on the ground at his feet, and then at Zhao Chengxiu, the Crown Prince of Yuanyang who was dumbfounded for some reason, and said to Zhao Hongrun in a low voice: "Give me some face, brother, and this matter ends here."
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Hongmin.
In fact, Zhao Hongrun still has a good impression of this gentle and elegant cousin who is not inferior to his sixth brother Zhao Hongzhao.
After all, this is also a cousin with very noble qualities.
I remember that when this cousin came to capture Zhao Hongrun with Yu Lin Erlang and went to the clan mansion, he kindly withdrew temporarily so that Zhao Hongrun could have time to say goodbye to Miss Su. In order to prevent her from being too worried, she did not arrest him arbitrarily immediately.
Walk.
Zhao Hongrun will naturally remember this considerate kindness.
"Okay, just for my brother's sake."
Zhao Hongrun nodded and waved towards Shen Yu and Lu Mu.
Seeing this, Shen Yu and Lu Mu let go.
Seeing the two letting go, the Prince of Yuanyang, Zhao Chengxiu, quickly got off the window sill, covered his private parts with his hands, and looked at Zhao Hongmin and Zhao Hongrun with an expression of surprise and uncertainty.
Zhao Chengxiu was not stupid, even though he did not recognize Zhao Hongmin or Zhao Hongrun. But he could tell from the clothes of those Yulin boys that Zhao Hongmin, who was leading the team, must be his clan brother, so he just shouted out to this clan brother.
Brother calls for help.
But what surprised him was that "Jiang Run" actually called his clan brother a brother. What did this mean?
This means that this "Jiang Run" is most likely a member of his Ji clan!
Ginger...Run? Run? No way?
Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhao Chengxiu's face suddenly turned pale.
After all, if his guess is correct, then this time he has offended the most famous clan brother in Daliang, Prince Su Ji Run!
When he thought that just now he kept claiming to be the cousin of King Su Jirun, he felt ashamed and angry at the same time.
"Put your clothes on."
Looking at Zhao Chengxiu, whose face turned green and white, Zhao Hongmin reminded him warmly.
Hearing this, Zhao Chengxiu was even more ashamed and angry. He picked up the stripped clothes from the ground, huddled in the corner and hurriedly put them on.
After getting dressed, he didn't want to say anything harsh and hurriedly left the room.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongmin turned his head and looked at Zhao Hongrun.
Zhao Hongrun seemed to understand the expression in his cousin's eyes. Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly and said, "Do I want to go too?"
"This is the rule." Zhao Hongmin nodded.
Zhao Hongrun scratched his hair and said helplessly: "Actually, I had planned to visit you tomorrow."
Zhao Hongmin smiled slightly and did not answer any questions.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun had no choice but to say: "I'll tell them."
Zhao Hongmin nodded, turned and walked outside the Yajian with his hands behind his back: "Brother, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the alley."
Watching His Highness slowly walk out of the room, Shen Yu and Lu Mu walked up to Zhao Hongrun and were about to speak, but immediately shut their mouths because the three women in the room had already raised the gauze curtains.
"Who was... just now?"
Miss Su asked in surprise, because she felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Perhaps noticing the worried look on Miss Su's face, Zhao Hongrun teased her intentionally: "He's my clan brother, you've also seen him... It was probably around this time last year, have you forgotten?"
This time last year?
Miss Su was stunned when she heard this, and her face immediately turned red.
How could she forget that after she and Zhao Hongrun had an affair all night for some unknown reason, Zhao Hongrun's cousin came to arrest him the next morning, and she was so frightened that she hid under the bed with red face and did not dare to show her head.
.
But... what's Mr. Jiang's cousin doing here this time?
Miss Su looked at the outer room in surprise, and saw that the Prince of Yuanyang, Zhao Chengxiu, had long since disappeared, and she had an idea in her mind: Perhaps Mr. Jiang's cousin was an official responsible for mediating such disputes.
"I'll go there. It'll be fine. Don't worry." Zhao Hongrun said with relief.
Perhaps because she had already experienced it once, Miss Su was not worried about the dangers of Zhao Hongrun's trip. Instead, she was more worried about another thing.
"Young Master Jiang, please be careful about that Prince Yuanyang just now... The Nu family feels that it would be better if this matter could be reconciled. After all, this person is the cousin of Prince Su Hongrun..."
"Uh... okay." Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly and nodded.
After saying a few words, Zhao Hongrun took Mi Jiang, Shen Yu, and Lu Mu out of the waterside pavilion, while Miss Su and the maid Lu'er went to summon the servants in the waterside pavilion and asked them to help clean up the messy house.
When leaving the waterside pavilion, Mi Jiang suddenly asked: "Is that man just now your clan cousin?"
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun looked around and explained in a low voice: "Using the way you call him from Chu State, Ji Min is the eldest son of my second uncle. But in the Wei Dynasty, we usually call him Hongmin. Zhao Hongmin."
"Zhao Hongmin..." Mi Jiang nodded clearly, then frowned and asked: "Why did this person show up? Is he trying to favor Zhao Chengxiu?"
Zhao Hongrun knew she had misunderstood as soon as he heard this, so he explained: "I, Daliang, have a government office that is responsible for handling and adjudicating internal issues of the Ji family, called Zongfu. And Zhao Chengxiu is also a member of my Ji family. I and his Disputes will be decided by the Zongfu. The other Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment do not have this right or qualification."
"So that's it, it's a prison that specializes in adjudicating disputes within the royal family." Mi Jiang suddenly realized, and then she seemed to have thought of something. She frowned and asked: "I just hit Zhao Chengxiu with a tea cup, will you be punished for it?"
"No, I hurt him." Zhao Hongrun corrected with a smile.
"..." Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun in surprise when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Are you covering me up?"
Zhao Hongrun smiled faintly. He shook his head and said, "Rather than protecting you, it's better to say... I'm more inclined to think that I was the one who hit you."
Thinking about it, no matter how evil things Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, did in Yingshuinan County of Wei State, he did it for the prosperity of Chu State, and he was Zhao Hongrun's former opponent.
After getting rid of all prejudices, Zhao Hongrun also felt that Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, was a quite outstanding Chu prince and nobleman. At least the latter had the power to carry out reforms in the entire Chu country, weaken the power of the Xiong family's old nobles, and improve the Chu country. status as a commoner, making the entire Chu State stronger and stronger, and other grand ambitions. Moreover, the other party is gradually realizing its own ambitions.
For example, when he led his army to attack the Wei Dynasty, it was just to obtain more political capital in order to gain control of the Chu State. Will it facilitate the reform of the Chu State in the future?
A person like this can be regarded as a respectable opponent.
And who is Zhao Chengxiu?
He is just a coward who bullies men and women because he is a member of the Ji clan. When the Wei Dynasty was in danger, why didn't this guy lead his private troops to come to the rescue?
What qualifications and position does a guy who has made no contribution to the Wei Dynasty have to insult Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng of Chu State?!
People in the royal family like Zhao Chengxiu are undoubtedly the cancer of the country in the eyes of Zhao Hongrun, Xiong Tuo and others. They are the type of people in the royal family who must find ways to get rid of them in the future, or at least weaken their rights and status.
…
After hearing Zhao Hongrun's explanation, Mi Jiang remained silent.
Maybe it was Zhao Hongrun's explanation that made her understand some unexplainable meaning.
The group of people walked straight to the end of the alley, where Zhao Hongrun's cousin Zhao Hongmin was waiting at the entrance of the alley, with a carriage parked next to it.
"Where is that boy?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at the carriage and asked Zhao Hongmin.
"Take another carriage and go to the Zongfu first."
Zhao Hongmin raised his hand and asked Zhao Hongrun to get on the carriage. Unexpectedly, Mi Jiang followed Zhao Hongrun and boarded the carriage.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongmin couldn't help but be a little surprised, but after taking a closer look and seeing through the nature of Mi Jiang's disguise as a man, he didn't care anymore.
After Shen Yu and Lu Mu sat on the coach's seat, the Yulin Junerlang driving the carriage waved his riding whip and slowly drove the carriage towards the Zongfu.
In the carriage, Zhao Hongrun curiously asked his cousin Zhao Hongmin: "Cousin Min, are there any major events in Daliang recently?"
"What?" Zhao Hongmin was a little confused when he heard this.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun added: "I'm just wondering, why did the crown prince of King Yuanyang come to Daliang? Did the father summon King Yuanyang?"
"Your Majesty did not summon King Yuanyang." Zhao Hongmin shook his head and said.
"This is strange...since the father has not summoned him, then why did Zhao Chengxiu come to Daliang?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongmin glanced at Zhao Hongrun and said with a half-smile, "You don't know?"
Zhao Hongrun became even more puzzled when he heard this: "Why do I know this? I have never met Zhao Chengxiu before."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongmin shook his head slightly.
"In fact, it's not just Zhao Chengxiu, the eldest son of Prince Yuanyang. A while ago, many princes and princes came to our Daliang. These people are all here for you... To be precise, they are for your group.
Huge supplies came from Chu State."
…
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun immediately frowned. (To be continued.)
