Fastest update
And Wu Ming, the instigator, was sitting in the main hall of the Zhao Mansion with the presence of the old man Zheng, and he suddenly became a guest!
As for Zhao Yunlai, he sat at the main seat with a gloomy look on his face. The tea had been changed several times and he didn't feel like drinking anymore.
Come to think of it, if something like this happened in the house, and the head of the family was kept in the dark, no one would feel good about it.
Not long after, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps.
"Dad, dad, someone wants to kill the child!"
Looking around, I saw a fairly handsome but pale-faced young man in his twenties, staggering into the main hall with a worried look on his face, shouting incessantly.
It is Zhao Kaitai!
"Young man, kneel down!"
Zhao Yunlai slammed the table and said sternly.
"Dad, my child was almost killed, why do you want me to kneel down?"
Zhao Kaitai was shocked and at a loss.
"Bastard! Come on, beat me! Beat me until you kneel!"
Zhao Yunlai was so angry that he was shaking all over and called his men to be executed.
"Don't hit me. If I get hit, I will kneel down!"
Seeing two expressionless guards on the left and right coming forward, Zhao Kaitai fell to his knees on the ground, but he held his neck and said dissatisfied, "Dad, I'm kneeling, but you have to give me a reason, right?"
"The reason? Let me ask you, Cuizhu, the maid in the backyard, do you know?"
Zhao Yunlai said coldly.
"Cui Zhu? My child doesn't...ah, my child remembered it. That bitch maid had an affair with the palace guard. What was her name? I forgot. Anyway, I just didn't know. The guard also stole the property of the palace, and he was killed.
My uncle found out and killed him on the spot, and everyone in the house knows about it!"
Zhao Kaitai's eyes flickered and his pale face was almost transparent.
When Wu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
With this level of determination, he is really not qualified to be his opponent. It is absolutely certain that someone else is taking the blame!
As for the extent of participation that can lead to being treated as an outcast, it is obvious that not much is known.
"Oh, look who this is?"
Zhao Yunlai pointed with a gloomy face.
"Uh, I don't know, kid!"
Zhao Kaitai subconsciously looked at Wu Ming, and then he realized that there was another person in the lobby, but he really didn't recognize him.
"Mr. Zhao, what your father wants you to see is not me!"
Wu Ming looked helpless and pointed at the white cloth on the ground as a reminder.
"Ah...Uncle Lu!"
Zhao Kaitai didn't know why, so he opened it and took a look, and immediately crawled backwards using his hands and feet.
"Your Majesty, now that you have seen my son, can you please be more generous?"
Zhao Yunlai sighed deeply.
If you say that his son is the one who makes plans, you really think highly of him.
Although he was very reluctant to admit that his son was in such a bad situation, the matter was now at this point and he could no longer think about it any more.
"That depends on how far Master Zhao can go."
Wu Ming took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"Dad, what are you talking about? How did Uncle Lu die? Who did it? Who is he? And today I was playing outside in Cui... and was almost poisoned to death. Thanks to a righteous man.
Save me, otherwise the child will die and come back to see you!"
Zhao Kaitai suddenly came to his senses and asked in rapid succession.
"Bu Cai, it's Wu Ming, the eldest son of Prince Wu's family!"
Wu Ming smiled lightly and said without waiting for Zhao Yunlai's introduction.
"The eldest son of Prince Wu's palace? Wu Ming... you, you, you... dad, it's him, he's the one who wants to kill the child, come here, come here, arrest him!"
Zhao Kaitai frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes widened suddenly, he pointed at Wu Ming and trembled, shouting shrilly.
"Asshole!"
Zhao Yunlai was so angry that he didn't know what to say or what methods he used. An invisible coercion came out, and Zhao Kaitai suddenly fell to the ground sweating profusely, staring with his eyes speechless.
"If I want to kill you, I won't ask anyone to save you. Let me explain it to Mr. Zhao. If there is something wrong, please add Mr. Zhao!"
Wu Ming was not surprised that Zhao Yunlai had such means. As a person at the pinnacle of a bachelor's degree, it was easy to use Confucian spiritual thoughts to suppress people.
As for the person who rescued Zhao Kaitai, it was naturally Chen Fengyu who was hiding in Cuiyan Tower.
"First of all, you were having an affair with your maid Cuizhu, and you were afraid that your Lord Zhao would find out about it. When you were at a loss, Zhao Lu, the commander of the guards of your palace, framed the affair with Liu Tiegen, the bodyguard who had no roots in the palace.
"
Having said this, Wu Ming glanced at Zhao Yunlai, who looked as if he had seen a ghost, and continued.
"Secondly, the news about this matter leaked out for some reason. Zhao Lu told you to listen to it. When you were at a loss, he told you that only by cooperating with the other party would he keep it secret. Ever since, Liu Zhang was born in Zhenwu.
The scene where they stopped me outside the martial arts gym."
"Third, and most importantly, Zhao Lu is arranging it from the beginning to the end, and you don't know anything else.
Mr. Zhao, am I right?"
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he said with great determination.
"You you..."
Zhao Kaitai was let go by his father, trembling all over, and kowtowed to Zhao Yunlai fiercely, "Dad, the kid is wrong, the kid is wrong, it really wasn't the kid who did it, it was him, it was Uncle Lu, no, it was Zhao
This is the result of eating dog food inside and outside.
It must be him, yes, it is him. If he arrests his children and tortures them, we will definitely be able to find out the mastermind behind it."
At this point, he still just excuses himself, which is obviously a callous and unsympathetic person!
"Sir, do you really have no idea?"
The pain in Zhao Yunlai's eyes flashed away, his face suddenly darkened, and he asked sternly.
"My child really doesn't know. It was all arranged by Zhao Lu. Even my trip to Cuiyan Tower was arranged by him."
Zhao Kaitai kowtowed repeatedly.
"Come here, push this traitor down to me and put him in the woodshed. No one can see him. He is under strict supervision. Even the wife is not allowed to see him!"
Zhao Yunlai said coldly.
Immediately, the two guards dragged Zhao Kaitai down like a dead dog.
"I just wanted to thank you, Your Majesty, for excusing this traitor!"
Zhao Yunlai cupped his hands with a gloomy face.
"Master Zhao, now it seems that whether Zhao Lu was bribed or a dead soldier is no longer important to me!"
Wu Ming doesn't mind the other party's attitude, as long as his goal is achieved.
"I have heard a little bit about what the prince has been through recently. I think that the prince came here today to settle things."
Zhao Yunlai said in a deep voice.
"To be honest with Mr. Zhao, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment have criticized me a lot, and as Mr. Zhao is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, I don't know that this case is barely reasonable. But if you say that you are not involved, don't say that I don't believe it. Mr. Zhao also
Can’t you say it?”
Wu Ming said calmly.
"As long as the prince is willing to let my son go, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
Zhao Yunlai's eyes flashed slightly.
"That's very good. There's so much trouble, so it's inconvenient for me to stay here longer. Say goodbye!"
Wu Ming raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stood up to say goodbye.
"No!"
Zhao Yunlai gently picked up the tea cup.
"Sir, sixty-two guards in the palace were seriously injured, and they were all sent to the back door."
After Wu Ming left, a thin old man who looked like a ghost appeared in the shadow of the main hall.
"What a great method. Not only did he focus on my son at a glance as a breakthrough point, but he also caught all the hidden plotters. He is worthy of being the grandson of that old fox. It's not easy!"
Zhao Yunlai said with a gloomy expression.
"Master, the situation between the DPRK and China is unclear now. Do you want to..."
The old man made a secret injury.
"It's not that it's unclear, but it's so clear that it can be said to be very clear. Because of this, it gives people a sense of chaos and uncertainty.
I rejected the invitation from the adults in the Ministry of Rites before, but they turned around and secretly manipulated my son. They even bribed Zhao Lu’s security commanders for decades, what a good trick!"
Zhao Yunlai said bitterly.
"The matter has reached this point. If you don't express your position, I'm afraid the other party will not let it go."
The old man said with a worried look on his face.
"It doesn't matter, this guy came to my door today, which just gave me a reason. Now that I'm at the peak of my bachelor's degree, it's time to clean up my family, cultivate myself and become a great scholar, and prepare to open up a border town for my family!"
Zhao Yunlai took a deep breath and said as if he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands.
After hearing this, the old man's eyes were filled with joy and he was visibly relieved.
…
"Young Master, Mr. Zhao is also a high-ranking official of the third rank in the dynasty. Will he still help after losing such a big face?"
At the same time, in the carriage, Honglian said with a worried look.
"In the past, for this little bit of face, he would have fought with me to the end, but now, he wants me to make the fight as violent as possible.
In this way, it will appear afterwards that he has extraordinary magnanimity and that he has a lot of masters."
Wu Ming said relaxedly.
"Young master, you mean that it was because of the big fuss today that he was able to get off the stairs?"
Hong Lian Nahan said.
"Yes, something so dirty happened in the Zhao Mansion. Not only did the guard commander frame the young master, but he also mobilized the guards in the manor, which also involved two lives. No matter how bad things are, the Zhao Mansion will not be clean. Now put everything aside.
If Zhao Lu is on his side, the Zhao family will be able to escape intact.
In this case, if Zhao Yunlai still refuses to help, don't blame me for adding insult to injury and giving the Zhao family a hard time."
Wu Ming nodded and said.
"That's right. The young master saved Zhao Kaitai regardless of previous suspicions, and even arranged a way out for him. If he didn't know what to do, he would be too stupid.
What's hateful is that I don't know who is the person behind the plan who is targeting the young master!"
Honglian suddenly realized this, waved her white and pink fist, and said angrily.
"Don't worry, I can hook up with the Grand Master of the Xuanlei Sect to set up a secret book trap, and I can also bribe the Zhao Mansion's guard commander. Therefore, I have set up many suspicious formations, so that I only focus on the Zhao Mansion, and even return without success, and those bullshit."
He is not a simple person with such methods."
Wu Ming exposed himself coldly, and the cold light in his eyes flashed away.
The two of them were talking. As soon as the carriage stopped, Wu Fu opened the curtain and walked in, shaking his head slightly at Wu Ming.
"Sure enough, it's impossible for a person like this to show up just for a few minions!"
Wu Ming nodded expressionlessly.
"Would you like the young masters in Cuiyan Tower to..."
Guren made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"No need, they are just minions. If they act rashly, they will only give others a handle, and their effect is not as good as that of Zhao Kaitai."
Wu Ming said disdainfully.
"Then... aren't you going to the Ministry of Justice?"
Honglian nodded thoughtfully and turned to ask.
"Haha, they will know what to do when Mr. Zhao sends the official document to the Ministry of Justice."
