September 16, the 26th year of Chengping.
It’s only one day away from Emperor Chengping’s birthday.
Zhao Lin arrived at the dock and looked at the densely packed boats on the Jinshui River. He said, "Tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday. We must be extremely careful and absolutely no mistakes can be made."
Cao Liang quickly said, "Don't worry, sir. I've already mobilized all the canal troops to block the entire section of the river. Not even a bird can fly across."
Zhao Lin said seriously, "I don't listen to empty promises, I only look at the results. I will send someone to guard with you. If there is any mistake, you will all be drowned!"
Cao Liang shuddered: "I understand."
Zhao Lin shouted, "Come here, go get Zhao Chenhan, the prince of the Zhenbei Marquisate."
Shen Huai went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
"What? Zhao Lin asked me to go to the dock?" Zhao Chenhan frowned.
Shen Huai said: "Prince Zhao, please come in, don't keep me waiting for too long."
Zhao Chenhan recognized Shen Huai and said angrily, "You almost died back then, and it was this prince who helped you redress your grievances. How could you be so ungrateful?"
Chen Huai sneered and said, "Is Prince Zhao helping us or using us? Do I need to say more? Please, you are now my master's subordinate. If you make trouble for my master's business, even the Marquis of Zhenbei can't protect you."
“Bold!”
Zhao Mingya followed and said angrily, "What a dog slave! How dare you threaten my prince? Come, break his legs."
Several servants rushed out and surrounded Shen Huai.
Chen Huai was not afraid at all: "My master is the governor of the river just appointed by the emperor, how dare you touch me?"
"Don't mention you, even if Zhao Lin comes, I will beat him. Beat him!" Zhao Mingya ordered.
Seeing that these people were about to take action, Chen Huai suddenly kicked a servant over, rushed out of their encirclement, and ran away.
"Zhao Chenhan, you disobeyed the adults' orders and tried to hit me again, so just wait for the adults' wrath."
"A bunch of trash, bring him back to me." Zhao Mingya shouted.
The servants hurriedly chased after him, but Chen Huai had been a soldier for two years and was no match for these servants. He quickly rushed out of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and left.
"Waste! All of you waste!" Zhao Mingya cursed.
Zhao Chenhan comforted her, "Fifth sister, don't be angry. That man is obviously a soldier, so it's normal that they can't catch up. But if we refuse Big Brother's order, will it be bad?"
"Hmph! Who does he think he is? Just because he is the governor of a river, he thinks he is the emperor? If he dares to come, we will beat him together. I want to see if he dares to come!" Zhao Mingya said angrily.
Chen Huai returned to the dock and told Zhao Lin what had happened.
Zhao Lin was furious: "The Emperor personally ordered Zhao Chenhan to come to my place to perform his duties, and he dared not come? Chen Huai, take your men and capture him. If the Zhenbei Marquisate dares to stop him, I will tear it down!"
"yes!"
Shen Huai excitedly mobilized a team of 20 Qingzhou soldiers and headed to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion again.
"Master, Miss, something bad has happened. There are a lot of soldiers outside and they want to take the master away." Butler Fang came to report quickly.
Zhao Mingya and Zhao Chenhan were drinking tea in Zhao Chenhan's yard.
Zhao Mingya immediately threw the cup and said, "This Zhao Lin is rebellious and lawless! Chenhan, don't go out. I don't think he dares to break into the mansion. Butler Fang, go and tell them to leave!"
Butler Fang responded, but he was more cautious. On the one hand, he sent people to stop Chen Huai and others from entering the mansion, and on the other hand, he hurried to find someone who could make the decision.
Unfortunately, Zhao Jingzhou and Han Yuehua are not at home today, only Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Mingyu are there.
Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Mingyu were surprised to hear the news.
The two quickly rushed to Zhao Chenhan's yard.
Zhao Mingxiao asked, "Zhao Linlai asked you to go do something, why didn't you go?"
Before Zhao Chenhan could speak, Zhao Mingya angrily asked, "What right does he have to order Chenhan around?"
Zhao Mingxiao suppressed his anger and said, "The emperor has already ordered Chen Han to work under Zhao Lin, so he must obey him."
"I won't listen!" Zhao Mingya said arrogantly, "Chen Han agreed to see Zhao Lin to save face for the emperor. Does Zhao Lin really think he's a superior? He's just a river governor. Daddy can take him down at any time."
"Zhao Mingya, shut up!"
Zhao Mingxiao couldn't help it and said angrily: "You idiot, this is the emperor's personal appointment, who do you think you are? Do you want to kill our entire mansion?"
Zhao Chenhan quickly said, "Third and fifth sisters, stop arguing. I'll go."
"Don't go!"
Zhao Mingya stopped Zhao Chenhan and said to Zhao Mingxiao, "You knew Chenhan would be humiliated by Zhao Lin if he went to him, but you still insisted on having him go. What were you thinking? Or is it that now that Zhao Lin has become a first-rank official, you want to curry favor with him?"
"Zhao Mingya, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Zhao Mingyu couldn't help it and said angrily: "This is the emperor's order, an imperial decree, how dare you disobey it?"
"Why not?"
Zhao Mingya snorted coldly and said, "He doesn't have much time left to live anyway."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed drastically, and Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Mingyu were even more frightened.
The two of them went up together and covered Zhao Mingya's mouth, looking back at the same time.
Zhao Mingxiao said to the maid behind him, "Close the door and write down everyone present."
Zhao Mingyu said to her maid, "Go guard outside and don't let anyone in."
After the two maids went to do their work, Zhao Mingxiao let go of his hand and slapped Zhao Mingya hard: "Idiot! Idiot! You really want to kill our whole family!"
Although Zhao Mingyu didn't hit her, he glared at Zhao Mingya angrily: "If you want to die, go hang yourself somewhere alone. Don't hurt us."
