Zhao Jingzhou patiently explained, "The competition between Prince Yu and the Crown Prince has reached its most critical moment. The Jiang Party, represented by Li Chengqian, supports the Crown Prince. If we can't win over the Chu Party, represented by Fu Chengwang, it will be very disadvantageous to Prince Yu."

"It's okay to let Zhao Lin come back, but Chen Han's position as the Crown Prince cannot be changed."

Han Yuehua made concessions.

Zhao Jingzhou nodded and said, "Of course."

"If Zhao Lin is not made the crown prince, he won't come back, right?" Zhao Mingyu asked.

Zhao Jingzhou said: "I have my own arrangements."

"What arrangements?" Han Yuehua insisted on asking.

Zhao Jingzhou said: "Support him to establish his own government."

Han Yuehua was stunned: "Does he have the qualifications?"

Zhao Jingzhou said, "Once Prince Yu succeeds, we will upgrade the palace to a prince's palace and let Zhao Lin establish his own marquisate. Prince Yu will agree."

"That's pretty good." Han Yuehua said with satisfaction.

Zhao Mingya said happily: "Promise Zhao Lin the title of Marquis, so I won't be afraid that he won't come back."

Only Zhao Mingyu felt a strong strange emotion in his heart.

Who is the biological child?

It’s okay that my mother loves Zhao Chenhan because he is in front of her every day.

Why does Daddy love him so much?

"Could he be my father's illegitimate son?" Zhao Mingyu thought to himself.

Just then, Butler Fang came over quickly.

"Master, Madam, there's someone outside demanding payment, threatening to smash our door plaque if we don't pay it back..."

"Who is so bold?"

Zhao Jingzhou was shocked and angry.

He commanded an army of 200,000 men, and in the Great Qi Dynasty where civil officials were valued and military officials were despised, those civil officials only dared to grumble about him behind his back and did not dare to speak against him to his face.

Now someone wants to smash the door plaque of his Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?

"Yes, he is from Young Master Lin's house." said Butler Fang.

Zhao Mingyu immediately said, "It's Sudi who's here to ask for Zhuangzi."

"What Zhuangzi?" Zhao Jingzhou asked.

Zhao Mingyu glanced at Zhao Mingya and said, "Mingya and Sudi made a bet that Zhao Lin would never win the title of Jieyuan. The stakes were the manor outside the city."

Zhao Jingzhou immediately understood and scolded him, "Nonsense! That Zhuangzi is so important, how can you just use it for gambling?"

Zhao Mingya hummed and said, "I didn't expect Zhao Lin to win."

Zhao Chenhan quickly advised: "Fifth sister also did not mean it, the most urgent thing is how to deal with this matter."

Zhao Jingzhou glared at Zhao Mingya fiercely, and the other housekeeper said, "Tell them to get out of here for ten thousand taels of silver."

Butler Fang hurried out and came back after a while.

Zhao Chenhan quickly asked, "Is it done?"

Butler Fang stammered, "They don't agree. Say, say..."

"What did you say?" Zhao Chenhan shouted.

Butler Fang said, "They say their young master has set his eyes on that manor and won't trade it for any amount of money. Unless, unless..."

"Unless what?" Zhao Mingya asked anxiously.

Butler Fang said, "Unless you ask for it yourself, they are willing to give you this favor without asking for a penny. There are already a lot of people gathered outside, Master, we need to deal with it quickly."

"Asshole!"

Zhao Jingzhou slammed his palm on the table, and the hard solid wood table was actually cracked.

It shows how angry he is.

Although Zhuangzi is important, Zhao Jingzhou's face is more important.

He has to personally deal with such a small matter. Doesn't he have any shame?

Zhao Mingya immediately shouted, "They did this on purpose, just to humiliate us..."

"Shut up!" Zhao Jingzhou cursed.

Zhao Chenhan sighed, "Everyone knows they did it on purpose, but the problem is they're right."

Han Yuehua said: "Let them come in and talk."

Butler Fang shook his head and said, "I told you they didn't want to come in. They said they were afraid of being silenced."

"You bastard!"

Zhao Jingzhou was furious: "Go ask the Su family if they don't want to do business in Zhenbeiguan anymore."

Soon, the person in charge of the Su family in the capital came to explain in person: "Lord, calm down. The debt collection has nothing to do with our Su family. It was all Zhao Lin's own idea."

Zhao Mingya said: "Zhuangzi lost to Sudi, not Zhao Lin."

The person in charge of the Su family smiled and said, "Miss Fifth, we don't know what Master Di and Zhao Lin discussed. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with our Su family."

Zhao Jingzhou's face was gloomy.

The person in charge of the Su family wisely said goodbye and left.

Zhao Mingya said, "Have the government send people to arrest them all on charges of disturbing public order."

Zhao Chenhan thought to himself, "Can't this stupid woman just shut up?" He said patiently, "No, this means that our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is not trustworthy."

"This won't work, that won't work, what should we do? Should we give the manor to Zhao Lin?" Zhao Mingya said angrily.

Zhao Jingzhou said: "Of course I can't give it to you. This farm is very important."

Zhao Chenhan understood immediately and asked tentatively, "Dad, are you saying there are people hiding in the village?"

Zhao Jingzhou glanced at Zhao Chenhan with satisfaction, and the other party's housekeeper said, "Go and ask them how much silver they want."

Butler Fang went out and came back: "They don't want the silver. They said that Master Lin had instructed them before he left that they wouldn't take it even if they were offered one million taels of silver. They only wanted the farm."

Han Yuehua was furious and said, "This rebellious son is really trying to make things difficult for us."

Zhao Jingzhou laughed instead: "What Zhao Lin did proves that he still cares about our attitude. Well, just give him the Zhuangzi."

"Daddy!" Zhao Chenhan exclaimed.

He had already guessed that the farm that Zhao Jingzhou mentioned twice was important not because it was valuable, but because it was just outside the city and could hide people.

If you can hide people, you can also hide soldiers.

Once Prince Yu falls into a disadvantage in the fight for the throne, war is inevitable.

And this Zhuangzi is extremely important.

Zhao Jingzhou waved his hand and said, "No matter what, Zhao Lin is from the Marquisate. As long as he comes back, won't Zhuangzi still be in our hands?"

"But is Zhao Lin really willing to come back?" Zhao Mingyu asked.

Zhao Jingzhou was confident: "He is a smart man and will make a wise choice. Neither Li Xingye nor Zhu Zhongyan can give him what he wants, only I can give it to him. Fang Cheng, go tell them that Zhuangzi has given it to him, but Zhao Lin must come and receive it in person."

Several people's eyes lit up.

Zhao Lin absolutely didn't dare to return to Beijing at this time.

Then Zhuangzi will still be in the hands of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

And if Zhao Lin really wants to come back to take over, it means that he still wants to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

After all, old ginger is still spicy.

…

Zhao Lin joined Fu Liqing and Su Di and others, sneaked into the Su family's caravan, and headed straight for Qingzhou without staying at the post station.

The people sent by Fu Chengwang returned empty-handed.

Fu Chengwang was extremely angry.

"Let's go to the Qingzhou government office. I want to see where they can hide."

"Send a few more people to bring Fu Liqing back to me."

After Fu Chengwang vented his anger, he went to the palace to find Cheng ** to complain.

"Zhao Lin kidnapped your daughter and eloped?"

Cheng** was very excited when he heard Fu Chengwang's words.

"The story in this storybook has come true, and the protagonist is the newly crowned top scholar?"

Fu Chengwang said angrily, "Your Majesty, Zhao Lin's abduction of my daughter is unbelievable. I implore Your Majesty to remove him from his post as prefect of Qingzhou and bring him back to the capital to face trial."
