Chapter 153: Retreat to Advance



"Master, someone from the Imperial Court has arrived and wants to see you!"

Zhao Hao was practicing calligraphy. This time he was not writing in the Slender Gold style, but the Qi Gong style which was also very famous in his previous life.

There's nothing else to it, it's just for showing off next time.

Bullshit.

He saw too little and got too little when he was a child, so he was interested in everything when he grew up.

Writing is just one of them.

Hearing what Lao Zhong said, Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment and put the brush on the pen holder.

"What did you say?"

He had no connection with the Court of Justice, and now someone from there suddenly showed up...

He probably knew the reason.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Hao nodded and walked downstairs.

There were a total of three runners from the Supreme Court, two of whom had ring-handled swords hanging from their waists and wore the same red and black clothes.

The leader was wearing a light blue robe and looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He has a good appearance and a nice temperament. He must be a member of a family working in the Supreme Court.

Seeing Zhao Hao and Lao Zhong coming down from upstairs, the young man immediately came up to greet them with the two policemen behind him.

"You are Lord Zhao, right? I am Yao Sheng, an official of the Imperial Court."

The man was very respectful and bowed to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao waved his hand: "Master Yao, what do you want from me?"

Yao Sheng said, "Sir, I came here today because of the death of Kong Weiqing, the head of Lishui Royal Manor. His family went to the court to report to the officials, saying that you killed him, so I came to ask you to return to the court to question him."

Hearing him say this, the faces of the waiters around him, as well as Su Si who was walking quickly towards them, immediately changed.

Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes.

Yao Sheng seemed to be very respectful in his words, but his attitude was unquestionable.

He is a character.

No wonder he dared to come for such a thankless task.

Nodding, Zhao Hao said calmly: "Has your court investigated the matter?"

Yao Sheng bowed and said, "My Lord, I just received a report from the deceased's family and am investigating. That's why I came to ask for your assistance."

Speak without leaking anything.

However, Zhao Hao understood that since the people from the Supreme Court dared to come, it must be that someone was behind it and wanted to make him unhappy.

Even if we can't do anything to him, at least we can make him get into trouble.

Although he had a noble title, being summoned to the Supreme Court would not sound good if the news got out.

The person behind me exaggerated it a little bit, and it was like yellow mud falling down my crotch, which was shit anyway.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao said softly: "I am going to the palace to meet His Majesty now, and I just happened to talk about this matter."

"Master Yao, why don't we wait until I come out of the palace before going to the Court of Justice with you?"

Hearing this, Yao Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly.

I didn't expect that Zhao Hao would directly bring up His Majesty, so I had to nod repeatedly.

"Of course. Since the Lord wants to go to the palace to see the Emperor, I dare not stop him."

Zhao Hao smiled softly, then turned around and looked at Lao Zhong.

"Go prepare the car!"

Lao Zhong agreed and quickly ran out to prepare the carriage.

Zhao Hao looked at Yao Sheng and said softly, "Master Yao, are you a direct descendant of the Yao family?"

Yao Sheng nodded and said, "My Lord, I am sorry to have embarrassed you. I am from the eldest branch of the Yao family."

Zhao Hao nodded slightly: "Oh, so you and His Royal Highness Prince Yu... are very close?"

Yao Sheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly.

"You are joking, Lord. Prince Yu is so noble, and my Yao family is just an ordinary family."

Zhao Hao didn't take it seriously. When he saw Lao Zhong appear at the door, he walked outside.

After putting Zhao Haofu on the carriage, Lao Zhong hurriedly asked, "Master, are we going to the palace?"

Zhao Hao snorted, "Of course. They've used the power of the Imperial Court to deal with me. Can't I go to the palace and file a complaint?"

Zhao Hao didn't look very happy.

Imperial Palace, Pepper Room.

Jiang Wan'er was a little surprised to hear Zhao Hao asking for a meeting, and immediately asked Eunuch Qu to bring him in.

As soon as Zhao Hao came in, he knelt down directly. This action made Jiang Wan'er even more confused.

"What happened to you, kid?"

Jiang Wan snorted and laughed, then asked softly.

Zhao Hao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please take back the three imperial estates you have given me!"

"I really don't dare to take that manor anymore, or I'll die without a burial place sooner or later!"

Zhao Hao had a serious expression, spoke earnestly, and there was a hint of indifference between his brows.

Jiang Wan'er's eyes changed, and the faint smile on her face immediately disappeared.

"What's going on?"

"Tell me in detail!"

Zhao Hao did not hide anything.

Thousands of tenants were killed or injured in the three imperial farms. He punished Li Yong and Kong Weiqing, even accusing Kong Weiqing of treason and not taking him, a viscount, seriously.

He told her everything, as well as the incident of being summoned by the people from the Supreme Court.

Finally, Zhao Hao said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what the two princes did on the first floor?"

"Kong Weiqing is the brother of one of Prince Yu's concubines. Prince Yu is planning to use the Imperial Court to punish me!"

"Isn't it because of Zhuangzi that I offended His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"

"Is it not okay if I don't want it anymore?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu is a descendant of the royal family. I can't afford to offend him, but I can afford to hide from him."

"Your Majesty, please take back those three manors!"

"As for the papermaking workshop built in the manor, I will also completely shut it down and ensure that the manor remains in the same state as before when it is handed back."

After hearing what Zhao Hao finished speaking, Jiang Wan'er's face gradually became gloomy.

Taking a deep breath, she said in a cold voice: "Since Zhuangzi has given it to you, there is no reason to take it back. Otherwise, what do you think my words are?"

"You go back first, I will handle this matter!"

When Zhao Hao heard Jiang Wan'er say this, he was immediately delighted, but he didn't show it on his face.

He just had a sad face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Then he nodded and retreated reluctantly.

A whole emotional change.

It's just right.

Walking out of the Pepper Room, the image of Prince Yu's LYP appeared in Zhao Hao's mind, and he sneered secretly.

Do you like to do things behind the scenes?

Then I will take advantage of the situation and crush you directly!

See what else you can do!

But when Zhao Hao left, Jiang Wan'er's face became even uglier.

She shouted coldly: "Eunuch Qu, call Prince Yu to see me!"

She could naturally see what Zhao Hao was intending.

She knew that little thought very well.

However, this matter still made her feel very annoyed.

In a short period of time, Zhao Hao did so many things for the court and the royal family and made such great contributions.

Prince Yu, a member of the royal family, actually caused trouble for Zhao Hao again and again just for a tiny bit of profit.

This is simply outrageous!
