Chapter 192 Second Uncle Comes to His Wisdom

Zhao Hongjing could only feel himself laughing and crying. It turned out that if he followed them on this journey, in their minds he was just a shrewd businessman.

He explained quickly: "My family has some connections in the capital. I will find a place for you to stay first, and I will come back to pick you up after I have established connections. Don't worry, I am a man too. You are doing such a noble thing, how can I ask you for money?"

The old man doubted: "Are you in cahoots with those officials?"

Zhao Hongjing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle, we have come here together all the way. You don't trust me so much? If I were really in cahoots with them, I would have shouted at the city gate and sold you out."

Those people thought, yes, if Zhao Hongjing was really in cahoots with them, why would he go to so much trouble.

Finally, they lived in a manor arranged by Zhao Hongjing, and agreed that if Zhao Hongjing didn't come to pick them up within three days, they would force their way in.

Zhao Hongjing handed Lao Diao over to the secret guards and asked him to hide nearby. Unless he showed up in person, no one could show up.

Lao Diao was the key evidence to save his elder brother, and there must be no mistakes.

The victims and Lao Diao were separated just to be more sure. Li Yunshu often said that eggs should not be put in the same basket.

After dealing with these, Zhao Hongjing changed back into his usual clothes and entered the capital with his official certificate.

The little leader who had just talked to him was stunned to see that Zhao Hongjing was the same person as the man just now.

But it was obvious that they were on guard against Zhao Hongjing. Although the officers were polite, they searched his carriage very carefully and even sent people to check under the carriage.

Zhao Hongjing sneered and said, "You are all a bunch of dog-eyed guys. My eldest brother's case hasn't been decided yet, and you just don't take my Jing'an Marquis's Mansion seriously."

When the search was almost over, the chief of the city defense battalion Shanshan arrived late and scolded his men, "You blind things, don't you even recognize Lord Zhao? Why don't you let me go?"

Zhao Hongjing looked at him coldly, "Lord, the chief has such a great official authority!"

The chief was not to be outdone, "Lord Zhao, something went wrong in Xiling and the victims were in turmoil. We are also following orders. Don't you know more about Xiling than us!"

What he said clearly was: Your eldest brother caused the chaos, so what qualifications do you have to show off here?

Zhao Hongjing was concerned about the witness entering the city, so he didn't have time to waste with the chief official. He snorted and left.

The chief official spat behind him: "Why are you so proud? The Zhao family will soon be in big trouble." As

soon as Zhao Hongjing returned home, Xu called him like a darling: "My son, why are you so thin? Your face is as black as a piece of charcoal. You must have suffered a lot on the way?"

Zhao Antai looked at Xu with a dark face: "A loving mother spoils her son. If you hadn't spoiled him all day long, he wouldn't have done things for himself at the age of nearly 40. How did things go?"

Both his parents-in-law were there. Although Li Yunshu felt sorry for her husband, she didn't dare to say a word, but just stared at Zhao Hongjing intently.

His mother said he was thinner, but Li Yunshu thought he looked more energetic, indeed darker, and no longer had the bookish air he had before.

Although Zhao Wanyue always said that his brother was a dandy boy, Li Yunshu thought that he was more of a refined scholar.

Zhao Hongjing was scolded, but he was happy in his heart. He took the baby in Li Yunshu's arms, teased him and said, "I have brought back the witness, but the inspection was too strict when entering the city, so I dared not bring him back. Now he is guarding outside the city, waiting for news."

Li Yunshu looked at Zhao Hongjing proudly and said, "It is not difficult to bring a person into the city. I will go there myself tomorrow!" "

More than one, there are almost a hundred people. On the way, I met a group of disaster victims from Xiling who came to plead for my brother. They took the blood letter of tens of thousands of people from Xiling and wanted to ask for justice for my brother." Zhao Hongjing couldn't help being moved when he thought of those people.

"Mom and Dad, I met my eldest brother. He said that he was not corrupt. The people of Xiling can all prove it."

Upon hearing this, Xu's eyes were red. Zhao Antai was also moved. Although Xiaoxiao had already explained the cause and effect of the matter, they felt at ease when they heard these words from their son's mouth.

Li Yunshu said to Zhao Hongjing, "The people in the city defense camp said they were investigating the rioters, but in fact they were targeting them. Some people also spread the word that your eldest brother was corrupt and perverted the law. The people of Xiling could not live anymore, so they rose up and came to the capital to make trouble. Look, many people threw rotten vegetable leaves and stinky eggs outside our door today!"

After returning home and having a backbone, Zhao Hongjing returned to his previous impulsive and mindless state. He rolled up his sleeves and said angrily,

"This is simply unreasonable. My eldest brother works diligently. Why do they do this? I'm going to ask them for justice."

"Stand still, I thought you would make progress after going out, but why are you still so impulsive? How are you going to reason with them? Are you going to throw stinky eggs back at them?" Zhao Antai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Zhao Hongjing continued, "It's not impossible, but we can't recruit so many rotten eggs in a short time!"

"You..." If he hadn't done a good job this time, Zhao Antai really wanted to beat him up.

Li Yunshu tugged at Zhao Hongjing's sleeve: "Talk to father properly."

Zhao Hongjing smiled at Li Yunshu, and then behaved himself: "Father, I just said it casually. I am an official appointed by the court after all. How could I do such a thing!"

Zhao Antai sighed: "It's good that you know. Xiaoxiao has asked the emperor. Your elder brother's case will be tried tomorrow. We have to find a way to get those witnesses in."

Zhao Hongjing changed his expression and said: "Father, I don't think we need to be so anxious."

Xu rolled her eyes at him: "Your elder brother's case must be concluded as soon as possible. "Only if Xu Mo solves the case, Li Ming can take part in the Spring Examination. Isn't it for this day that he works so hard?"

Zhao Hongjing said calmly: "Mom, don't worry! We are anxious, but the other party is more anxious than us. Now the evidence in Xu Mo's hands are all what the other party wants him to find. The witnesses have escaped, and they are guilty. They must want to make this case a dead case as soon as possible, so they will definitely fabricate more false evidence. It is better to let them jump around for a while, and wait until the fox tail is exposed, and then invite our witnesses out."

Xu didn't understand what Zhao Hongjing was talking about. She just wanted Zhao Hongye to be released from prison as soon as possible.

Zhao Antai looked at Zhao Hongjing with admiration, which was rare: "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. This is really true. You finally got it."

Zhao Hongjing was praised by his father for the first time in his life. He was very proud. However, it was not easy to let those hundreds of people enter the city.
