Zhao Xi figured it out and his father should have found out from Zhang, so it was natural for the father and son to meet again the next day.
Zhao Xi carefully captured the feeling he had with his father. There was no change at all. It was truly the same as before.
"Xi'er, Bao Zheng is upright and Zhao Gai is honest. If we leave this matter to the two of them, the truth will surely come to light. Dad, don't worry, you should also rest assured."
This is not the future. It is normal for fathers to say slightly apologetic words to their children.
This is the Song Dynasty, let alone emperors, even ordinary people, the elders did not apologize to the younger ones.
Although his father was stating the facts and trying to reassure himself, Zhao Xi still felt between the lines his father's apology for yesterday's attitude.
Dad is a good man, but to be an emperor... is not ruthless enough.
"Dad, the child listens to his father. The child is just worried about this matter and is annoying his father. However, due to his age and experience, he cannot share his worries with his father."
Zhao Zhen stroked Zhao Xi's head and realized that his son was really not a child anymore, he was almost as tall as him.
As for the body and bones... he is much stronger than himself, he should look a bit like Taizu Taizong, unlike himself, who is very weak.
Bao Zheng and Zhao Gai were very good at investigating the case. While sending people to their deserted hometown, they began to interrogate those who were thrown to the government office by the guard camp.
Under three trees, there is no need to worry. This is the most direct method, so whether it is a monk, a Taoist, a scholar, or a layman, everyone has said everything they can.
There were so many unsolved cases that the Kaifeng Prefecture's prosecutors were overwhelmed, so they had to allocate people from the Criminal Division to take charge of those old cases.
At the same time, too many city foxes and rats were involved, and they were all concentrated in the cave. The Kaifeng Mansion was busy going to the government office to recruit groups of idle men.
The initial wave of cleanup by the escort had been forgotten, and when the Kaifeng Mansion servants found him, they were so hungry that they were close to death.
Who would have thought that it would take so long, and no one would have thought that just tying their thumbs with their hands behind their backs, leaving these idle men with slutty legs to endure in an underground cave, and then gnaw something with their mouths underneath.
Eat some random food.
It's not that no one wanted to run, they tried, but they couldn't escape at all. There were obstacles set up at the entrance of the cave, and they had to use their hands, but they all had their thumbs tied up, and even with the help of each other, they couldn't untie the tough and thin knot.
After Zhao Xi heard about it, he was also stunned... Is this okay? After all, he is a gangster, and this is the level?
Once the matter is handed over, there is no need to care about the husband-in-law and Zhao Xi and his son. They only need to wait for the result.
Therefore, even if it was right, I never mentioned it again. Even if my father wanted to know more clearly, he had to hold it in for only two days...
It rained just yesterday, which finally brought some coolness to this hot day.
In Zhao Xi's current East Palace, there is no mistress who does not know how to use a spoon, only some elderly palace maids and servants.
Although he is said to be old, in fact, Zhao Xi seems to be in his prime, only in his twenties and thirties.
In this era, you are already considered very old, and you have reached an age where you will no longer be favored.
The reason why he sent a group of palace maids of such an age was because he was worried that Zhao Xi would not be able to control himself and something that shouldn't happen would happen.
Do you know how to do it when you are twelve or thirteen years old? You really can. There are many people in the market who have heard about the girls who call for troubles at the age of twelve or thirteen.
Zhao Xi seems to have grown up too.
Sitting in the yard, without lighting candles, just facing the cool breeze and looking at the stars... This is Zhao Xi's favorite way to rest.
"Is that... a leak? A leak in the city?"
It must have been flooded. The fire was so bright that it felt like half of the sky was dyed red. It was not far from the Imperial City.
"Let's go! Take a look."
Zhao Xi shouted and walked quickly towards the direction of the fire. What he said was to take a look, which meant going to the palace wall to take a look, but not to the side of the fire.
The fire was still on his side of the East Palace. If he had to go through the entire imperial city, he probably could only watch it in the courtyard of his East Palace.
If you want to see more clearly on the palace wall, it's really not far from the palace wall. It looks like a very big courtyard, and the whole courtyard seems to be on fire.
"Your Highness, it seems that this place is the villa of the fourth prince of King Runan..."
It seems that the guard in front of the palace has met him before, and he looks familiar. He should be one of the people who accompanied Cao Lin to worship the ancestors. Otherwise, he would not talk about this to me.
"Zhao Zongyong?"
"Back to Your Highness, exactly."
Alas, I am a prince, and I am not as good as a heir. Everyone has other palaces, and my East Palace is deserted. These servants have been rewarded with a lot of money and are loyal, but even one of them dares to
There is no one to talk to.
The so-called auxiliary courtyard is outside the main house, that is, outside the Runan Prince's Mansion. It belongs to... this should belong to Zhao Zongyong's house.
In a house like this, you can do whatever you want, let alone keep an outdoor room, or just hang out with your friends and no one will care.
Maybe in this yard, Zhao Zongyong will be able to raise...
No, Zhao Xi is also bored because of what ordinary people do. He has grown up and thinks about some messy things. Now let’s think about it again... It just rained yesterday. It is not supposed to be a dry environment, so how could water leak out?
?And the whole yard was burned down.
"Li Xian, go out and ask around to see what's going on at the fire scene."
Thinking of some possibilities, Zhao Xi came down from the palace wall and directly arranged for Li Xian.
The palace door is closed and it is impossible to go out. Zhao Xi also abides by it, but there is always a secret side door in his east palace.
Zhao Xi has been waiting for Li Xian to come back and report. He was a little irritated. Even when the palace maid came to serve in the study, he refused directly.
Let them do what they have to do and don't bother yourself.
What can they do? Just serve the prince...
"Your Highness, this is indeed the courtyard of Prince Zhao Zongyong. The fire spread from the very beginning and all the houses in the entire courtyard were on fire. The people in the courtyard had no time to escape."
"The patrolman's response is quick, but the water truck cannot reach the courtyard. The four or five roads leading to the other courtyard are all blocked, so no car can pass."
"The fire was so big that the surrounding neighbors helped put out the fire, but buckets of water had no effect on such a huge fire. Then it was all burned down."
Li Xian came back, and the scene was like this... it was burned out.
Zhao Xi felt something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.
The weather, the courtyard, the identity of Prince Runan, and the roadblocks blocking the approach of the waterwheel... all revealed something strange.
Who else but myself could have such a big resentment towards that cousin's family, and who could even arrange such a big scene?
Now, I'm afraid Qian Mingyi is not just losing his skin.
Sure enough, in the morning of the next day, before anything was said, the cousin broke down in tears and complained...
A fire burned not only the yard, but also Zhao Zongyong was burned to death...
This...this is a big trouble.
Although the court does not care about clan members, it is definitely not a trivial matter for a clan member who died unexpectedly.
