Chapter 407 Let’s cooperate! Each party gets what it needs
Wang Ciming remained silent.
Zhao Hao added: "Brother, my mother is my uncle, Yushu is my fiancée, and you are my future uncle. Is there anything we can't talk about?"
Wang Ciming's heart moved, thinking of Zhao Hao's meticulous care for Wang Yushu.
Although the two of them did not get married, Zhao Hao used to send various gifts to Wang Yushu every now and then, and everyone in the Wang family got a share of the gifts.
Wang Ciming once secretly laughed at Zhao Hao for being like someone who had never seen a woman before, and he naturally knew how much Zhao Hao cared about Wang Yushu.
Wang Yushu is, after all, a member of the Wang family.
Wang Ciming then said, "I heard that Brother Hao entered the palace early this morning?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter on the spot. He didn't restrain himself at all, which made Wang Ciming's face darken.
He said coldly: "If you don't want to talk about it, just forget it. Why laugh at me?" Wang Ciming stood up and was about to leave.
But Zhao Hao stopped him, "Brother, you don't think I came to the palace today to file a complaint, do you?"
These words touched Wang Ciming's heart. He felt a little embarrassed and simply asked directly: "Isn't it?"
After these words came out, the smile on Zhao Hao's face finally faded, and he said seriously: "Of course not, big brother, this is a misunderstanding."
"Don't you think about it? If I really went to complain, would you still be standing here sadly?"
Wang Ciming thought about it and realized that it was true. If Zhao Hao had really gone to file a complaint, he should have been arrested by now.
At this point, Wang Ci knew that he had misunderstood Zhao Hao, "Then you..."
Zhao Hao smiled, "I went to the palace to plead guilty. Wasn't the Dali Temple investigating the news that the two Xuans were assassinated on their way back to the capital?"
"Since there is no clue, I can only take the initiative to get scolded." Zhao Hao shrugged, as if he didn't treat Wang Ciming as an outsider at all.
Wang Ciming was shocked, "Brother Hao, you are going to be scolded too?"
"If things are not done well, you will naturally be scolded." Zhao Hao said, picking up the wine glass in front of him and drinking it all.
The taste in his mouth made his body shudder, it was water again.
This means that Wang Ciyuan might be there.
Zhao Hao remained calm, swallowed the wine, and listened to Wang Ciming's talk, "You are so close to the queen, and you are also scolded?"
"I don't mean to say that this is really inhumane..."
The intention to sow discord is very obvious.
In response, Zhao Hao just smiled bitterly, and occasionally advised Wang Ciming with words like "stop talking".
The more he did this, the more excited Wang Ciming became. He kept complaining and grumbling, and by the time they finished their drink, it was already noon.
It was only because Zhao Hao pretended to be drunk that he was able to prevent Wang Ciming from continuing to chatter.
Zhao Hao thought that Wang Ciming probably didn't know that after he drank too much, he even scolded Lord Wang.
It can be seen that the complaint about the emperor and empress just now was not entirely because Zhao Hao was scolded, but also because Wang Ciming represented himself.
He vented all his complaints and resentment towards Lord Wang.
After the drunk Wang Ciming was helped away, Zhao Hao slowly stood up. He looked to the side and saw a figure appear at the door of the private room.
It was none other than Wang Ciyuan.
From the moment he drank that glass of "wine", Zhao Hao knew that Wang Ciyuan was there, and he was not surprised by his appearance.
"Second brother, sit down."
Wang Ciyuan sat down and asked, "What do you think about yesterday's incident, Lord Zhao?"
Zhao Hao naturally believed it, so he entered the palace openly today. He was sending a signal to Wang Ciyuan.
He stretched out his finger and pointed upwards, then said, "There is something else I want to trouble my second brother with."
Wang Ciyuan was a smart man, and he understood it after Zhao Hao hinted at it. Besides, he had guessed about this matter early this morning.
The current development is exactly what he wants!
The Wang family is on the verge of capsizing, and if he wants to keep himself safe, he naturally has to get the approval of his superiors.
Zhao Hao’s opinion does not count in this matter. Only the opinion of his superiors counts.
Wang Ciyuan's expression was stern, and he immediately said: "Please tell me clearly, Lord Zhao. If there is anything I can do, I will do it without hesitation!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "What are you talking about, brother? It's not about life or death. I just want you to get some things."
What else is valuable in the Wang family?
Wang Ciyuan quickly understood: evidence of guilt!
And those things...are mostly kept in Lord Wang’s study.
Lord Wang's study is in the Wang family. It is of utmost importance. Not to mention entering, even outsiders in the yard are not allowed to approach it easily.
It would really give him a difficult time.
Wang Ciyuan took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of things. May I ask, Lord Zhao, what exactly are you looking for?"
Zhao Hao looked into Wang Ciyuan's eyes and the two looked at each other.
After a long time, Zhao Hao stretched out his finger, dipped it in the wine, and slowly wrote a word on the table.
"north".
Wang Ciyuan saw it clearly, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was sitting steadily on the chair and almost fell down!
This is really, really...
Quarreling is a capital crime of exterminating nine generations of a family. No wonder the emperor and empress could no longer tolerate the Wang family. Now it seems that the Wang family brought their own destruction upon themselves!
He even dares to do such a thing.
At this moment, Wang Ciyuan's heart was filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster. Fortunately, he was ready to escape from the Wang family, otherwise he would have been taken to hell by Lord Wang at any time.
To put it another way, even if the Wang family arranged a retreat, it would definitely not be him who could escape.
He was a pure, innocent victim.
Wang Ciyuan only felt the sound of his heartbeat ringing in his ears. He thought he was prepared, but he still underestimated Lord Wang's courage.
Zhao Hao reached out and supported Wang Ciyuan steadily, "Second brother, this matter..."
Wang Ciyuan felt his mouth dry, and he licked his lips unconsciously, saying, "I will do my best on this matter."
This matter requires careful planning.
Zhao Hao said: "I can lend a helping hand to my second brother."
…
Soon, Zhao Hao gave Wang Ciming a satisfactory answer.
Wang Ciming asked Zhao Hao to clean up his mess, and Zhao Hao did it cleanly. In fact, those people who broke the law had already been on Xie Yao and Xiao Ji's list, and they were just waiting to be settled together after the Wang family's affairs were over.
Wang Ciming was very happy and made another appointment with Zhao Hao at the restaurant.
"Brother Hao." Wang Ciming put his arm around Zhao Hao's shoulders and said, "From now on, you are my brother!"
His father always looked down on him and said he had accomplished nothing.
But what about now?
He accomplished what he wanted to do without relying on his father. With Zhao Hao around, he won't have to look at his father's face anymore from now on.
Zhao Hao quickly said: "Brother, you are my biological brother, but I cannot be your biological brother."
Wang Ciming's face turned stern.
Zhao Hao whispered, "Yushu and I..." He was going to marry Wang Yushu, so naturally he couldn't be Wang Ciming's biological brother.
Wang Ciming reacted and immediately laughed, "You, you."
"Okay, I'll leave the language book to you. I'm relieved."
Zhao Hao also laughed when he heard this, and immediately said to Wang Ciming: "Brother, if there is such a thing again in the future, please let me know."
The two looked at each other and smiled brightly.
Wang Ciming returned home in a very good mood. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Ciyuan. Seeing Wang Ciming, Wang Ciyuan hurriedly stepped forward and followed him, "Cousin."
Wang Ciming was in a good mood, and he even liked Wang Ciyuan a lot. It was Wang Ciyuan's idea to go find Zhao Hao...
Wang Ciming said: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Wang Ciyuan quickly followed and whispered, "Cousin, I want you to save me and give me some advice..."
He grumbled and told the story of Lord Wang arranging for him to bring Wang Yushu back, and also talked about the difficulties. "Cousin, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I've checked. The defenses outside the Imperial Examination Hall and the inns where the examinees are staying have been strengthened..."
"It's hard for me to even get close." Wang Ciyuan looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't. "Cousin, you're smart, can you give me some advice?"
Wang Ciming rolled his eyes in annoyance, looking down on Wang Ciyuan's behavior, "Look at how useless you are."
Wang Ciming's eyes turned and he said, "Two days ago, my father asked me to go to the inn tomorrow to give Wang Yushu something..."
“I’ll go, I’ll go!” Wang Ciyuan immediately responded, “Then…cousin, do you have any token or something like that? Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get in.”
Wang Ciming choked.
As for a token of trust... of course he needs one, but he just made the old man angry, and if he goes to the old man again he will probably be scolded.
He wasn't asking the old man to do anything for him, so he didn't want to be scolded.
But he thought that the old man had entrusted him with the task of delivering the things, and if he didn't do it well, he would probably be scolded again.
Wang Ciming rolled his eyes and said, "The token is in my father's study. Do you dare to take it?"
Wang Ciyuan lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, and looked embarrassed, "This is not good, cousin, my uncle's study...I can't just go there casually."
Wang Ciming was originally regretting that he spoke too quickly, but when he saw Wang Ciyuan's reaction, he instantly relaxed.
With Wang Ciyuan being such a coward, any worries are unnecessary.
Wang Ciming patted his shoulder and said, "Go! If you don't go, who will? If I go, can you hold my father back?"
Seeing that Wang Ciyuan was still hesitating, Wang Ciming frowned, "If you don't go, don't blame me for not helping you..."
"Go!" Wang Ciyuan said timidly, "I'll listen to my cousin."
Lord Wang's study was always guarded, and Wang Ciyuan could not get in with his identity. Wang Ciming came forward to send the people away, and then he let Wang Ciyuan in.
He urged, "Hurry up and get out as soon as you get the stamp. I can't delay for too long. If my dad sees us..."
"Don't worry, cousin. I will be quick!" Wang Ciyuan assured him quickly, "If I am really caught by my uncle, it has nothing to do with you, cousin."
Wang Ciming smiled.
On the road.
The plan went smoothly. Wang Ciming stepped forward to get the people away, and Wang Ciyuan quickly entered Lord Wang's study.
Wang Ciming was just about to ask where Lord Wang was when he saw a servant rushing over and saying, "Master, Lord Zhao is here. The master wants you to come over."
Wang Ciming was startled, unsure of what Zhao Hao was going to do. Could it be that he was going to... report him?
After all, he was the one who asked Zhao Hao for help!
Wang Ciming walked quickly over there without saying anything else. He had to listen. Zhao Hao was his connection now and he had to hold on to him tightly.
He walked a few steps, looked back at Lord Wang's study, and then left quickly.
It was the first time that Wang Ciyuan was alone in Lord Wang’s study. When he thought about what he was going to do next, he felt sweat oozing from his palms.
If Lord Wang finds out about this... he might be in danger of losing his life.
But the hesitation was only for a moment, and Wang Ciyuan quickly began to search the house seriously.
...found nothing.
There is a secret room or a hidden compartment!
Although Wang Ciyuan was anxious, he couldn't move fast enough. After all, everything he touched had to be restored to its original state.
And he also has to keep an eye on what's happening outside.
Just then, he heard footsteps, followed by the voice of the servant guarding outside the courtyard, "Master."
Back!
Wang Ciyuan was startled, looked around, and quickly hid back in the deepest part of the bookshelf in the study.
Fortunately, the study is very large, and Wang Ciyuan can only hope that Lord Wang will not go in.
The door opened.
For the first time, Wang Ciyuan felt that his heart could beat so fast.
He didn't dare look at Lord Wang, for fear that Lord Wang would notice his gaze.
Soon, he heard Lord Wang's voice, "Has anyone been to my study?"
The servant's voice soon rang out, "In reply to the master, the eldest son came here, but he only walked around the door and left."
Wang Ciyuan didn't dare to move, but he could clearly hear the noise in the study. It seemed that Lord Wang was... looking through things in the study.
He found out?
Wang Ciyuan didn't know where he had gone wrong, and he thought he had done it covertly enough. He carefully leaned forward and looked from the lowest point.
But then I saw the secret compartment under Lord Wang's desk slowly open.
After checking, Lord Wang breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to take the next step, he heard the servant's voice outside again.
"Master, Lord Zhao is here again, saying he has something urgent to discuss with you!"
Zhao Hao?!
Very good!
Lord Wang closed the secret compartment and then stood up and left the study. Wang Ciyuan was about to stand up and walk towards the secret compartment, but suddenly he thought of something, stopped, and shrank back.
Not long after, the study door was opened again.
Someone was standing by the door looking in.
"Let's go." It was Lord Wang's voice.
Wang Ciyuan felt that his whole body was almost soaked with sweat. It was just a sudden thought that occurred to him, but it unexpectedly saved his life.
This time, Wang Ciyuan hurriedly walked towards the secret compartment...
…
It was late at night when Zhao Hao left Wang's house.
After leaving the Wang family's sight, Zhao Hao got off the carriage unconsciously, ordered the carriage to go first, and he walked to a small alley not far away.
He is waiting for someone.
The time of waiting always passes very slowly. Zhao Hao was the only one here. Just when he was about to fall asleep while waiting, he finally heard footsteps.
Zhao Hao hid in the dark and looked carefully towards the direction of the footsteps.
It is better to be safe than sorry.
“Cuckoo cuckoo.”
Zhao Hao then walked out from the darkness. The person who came was Wang Ciyuan. He had obviously run away and was sweating all over.
But Wang Ciyuan's eyebrows were filled with joy. Seeing his expression, Zhao Hao knew what was going on. "Found it?"
Wang Ciyuan nodded and said, "Fortunately, Lord Zhao, you returned to the Wang family for the second time, otherwise..." He was scared just thinking about it now.
Wang Ciyuan took out a folded piece of white paper from his bosom and said, "I copied some of them and brought out a few important letters. To avoid alerting the enemy, I did not move the evidence."
"But when I came out, the light in the study was still on."
Obviously, Lord Wang is here.
Zhao Hao flipped open the paper Wang Ciyuan had copied, and when he saw the contents on it, his expression froze, and he said, "Second brother, follow me into the palace now!"
