Chapter 440 Caught Off Guard
Zhao Chengye immediately became alert and called his personal bodyguard and guard.
"Has anyone come to the study today?"
he asked the guard.
"Reporting to the prince, no."
"Then has anyone appeared near the study?"
he asked again.
The guard was a little uneasy, but still answered truthfully: "No, even the princess didn't come today."
Zhao Chengye certainly wouldn't be on guard against his wife.
Pei Shaorong would occasionally come to help him take care of the study, but she didn't stay for long and didn't come every day.
After sending the guard away, Zhao Chengye asked the guard to check the things on the chair.
The guard understood the reason and became cautious, slowly approaching. He first reached out with his sword and poked it tentatively. It didn't feel like something strange, so he bravely reached out his hand.
He opened the thing and revealed the contents.
When Zhao Chengye saw it, his mind suddenly recalled something from a long time ago, and his heart couldn't help but move.
Could it be... Just this thought came to his mind, but he immediately suppressed it.
It was lucky that such a good thing happened once, how could it happen again?
And it was strange that he still had no clue about that incident until now.
Who is the other party? He did the job so cleanly, without any trace. It can be seen that he is a powerful person. If he can recruit his men, he will not have to worry about having no one to use in the future.
Seeing this familiar scene... Zhao Chengye suddenly felt a little expectant and excited.
"Give it to me."
Zhao Chengye stretched out his hand.
"But Your Highness..."
"Give it to me!"
The guard had no choice but to pass the thing over, his nerves tense.
Although he thought it was not something strange, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents.
Zhao Chengye took the thing in his hand, and his intuition told him that it was the same as last time!
He quickly threw away the outer layer of cloth and opened the top book.
After seeing the content on it, his eyes widened and were filled with shock.
After a long time, he suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter was extremely happy, "Hurry up and call the tutor to the palace, I have something important to discuss with the tutor!"
The guards didn't understand why the prince's mood suddenly improved, as if he had obtained some treasure.
What exactly was that thing?
While wondering in his heart, he went out to pass on the order.
Pei Shaorong also waited until the tutor Pei entered the palace to know that the prince had summoned her grandfather to the palace, but she didn't ask anything, knowing that it must be for business.
She shouldn't interfere in the affairs outside his backyard, this point couldn't be clearer to her. Before the wedding, her grandfather had repeatedly reminded her not to cross the line by relying on the prince's favor.
However, she looked at the time and ordered people to prepare some food, so that she could eat something to fill her stomach before leaving the palace after her grandfather and the prince finished discussing business. Grandfather is old and cannot compare with young people.
After Xu Muhua made sure that the things had been placed in Zhao Chengye's study, she ignored the matter.
She believed that he would make good use of this opportunity. Anyway, the Minister of Finance was not his man. Getting rid of this cancer in the court would also be of great help to his reputation in the court.
As for whether it would arouse the jealousy of the emperor - forget it, the emperor is old, and the prince was also appointed by himself. He can't appoint the prince and then depose him.
As long as Zhao Chengye doesn't kill himself, the position of the prince will be absolutely stable!
She will just wait and watch the show. I hope he won't drag it out for too long, hurry up!
Zhao Chengye also knew that the sooner this matter was dealt with, the better. Otherwise, if the news leaked out, there would be a lot of variables.
Others had brought evidence to him, obviously wanting to do him a huge favor. If he didn't accept it, he would be really crazy.
So he quickly sent people to verify it secretly.
Although most things are not so easy to verify, as long as one or two of them are confirmed, he can basically be sure of the intelligence in his hand, and it is probably true!
As long as he seizes this opportunity, he can get rid of these termites in one fell swoop!
Zhao Chengye laid out his plan quietly.
Mr. Huang thought that the loss of the key was just an accident! It was not
until the imperial edict to confiscate the property was issued and the officers and soldiers arrived at the Huang Mansion that he realized that the high-rise building he had built with great effort had collapsed at this moment!
Many people were completely unaware of it beforehand. There were no signs at all before this happened! So everyone was shocked.
People who were not involved only felt a sense of empathy.
They saw him build a tall building, they saw him entertain guests, and they saw his building collapse. The officialdom changes rapidly. Maybe yesterday he was standing in the court discussing state affairs with ministers or even the emperor, and he was very passionate. Then he slept for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was already in prison.
Many people kept a low profile, and moved around secretly with a guilty conscience, fearing that they would be implicated. Those with a clear conscience remain the same as always, without any change, and there is nothing to be afraid of. A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow!
Huang originally thought that he hid his things well, and he could still escape the disaster because he didn't find the key evidence. Unexpectedly, the verdict was made so quickly!
Execution after the autumn!
It's almost the autumn! That means his family won't live long!
"Do you want to go and see him?"
Xu Muhua asked.
Yunniang was stunned.
"He is your enemy. It's already unfair to you that you can't bring him down in the name of revenge for you. Now that his verdict has been made, it's not impossible for you to see him off." It's
like kicking someone when he's down.
After she said that, Yunniang really thought about it seriously.
After thinking about it, it seems that it is not impossible.
"If possible, then go and see!"
Xu Muhua said, "It's all right. You can hide in the pearl flower, and I will take you in." It's just
a matter of spending some money.
As for whether she would be suspected - oh, there are so many prisoners in the prison, who knows who she is going to visit? She can just make up an excuse to get away with it.
The Huang couple are going to die, how can she not know the truth before they die? Sometimes dying in confusion is a good thing, they don't deserve it.
She has to let them go to the gallows with hatred and strong unwillingness. Letting them die like this is simply too easy for them!
Of course, it is not difficult to follow the clues and find out what happened in the past.
In short, before they die, they have to pay off their debts before they can start again!
She has already written a letter to Arong, asking her to hint to Zhao Chengye.
