"No!" Zhao Mingzhu refused directly.
Zhao Mingyue asked anxiously, "Are you still protecting that bastard at this time?"
Zhao Mingzhu asked, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of the assassination of Governor Zhao Lin? You two are not children anymore, so why are you still so naive?"
Zhao Mingyue was unconvinced and said, "As long as they can't find out, isn't that enough?"
Zhao Mingzhu snorted coldly and said, "If the prince doesn't know, then forget it. But now that he knows, he will naturally make the most of it. How could he possibly kill Zhao Lin for us?"
"What should I do?"
Zhao Chenhan regretted it.
If I had known this, I would have just told Zhao Mingyue and asked Zhao Mingyue to find someone to kill Zhao Lin.
Zhao Mingzhu took a deep breath and said, "Zhao Lin dared to arrest the imperial envoy. We can't cover it up. Let the prince do it."
"But Zhengyan..." Zhao Mingyue said anxiously.
Zhao Mingzhu said: "Zhengyan is fine, Zhao Lin is not that stupid."
Zhao Chenhan had no choice but to give up.
He only wanted to take the opportunity to kill Zhao Lin, but he forgot that the law he relied on was Zhao Lin's amulet.
This is the governor of a province.
If he were really assassinated, how much turmoil would it cause?
Not to mention that it is not certain whether he can be killed.
The three siblings had no choice but to come to Prince Yu.
Prince Yu was assuring Marquis Changning, "Don't worry, my Lord. Zhao Lin dared to do such a heinous act. No one can save him this time."
Marquis Changning sighed and said, "Everyone says Zhao Lin is smart, but who would have thought he would do such a crazy thing. I'm afraid Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye will protect him."
Prince Yu sneered and said, "I'm not afraid of them showing up. If they dare to show up, I'll let them and Zhao Lin go to the Heavenly Prison together. I'll go to my father to complain first, you wait."
Prince Yu immediately entered the palace and found Emperor Chengping, crying, "Your Majesty, I asked Liu Zhengyan to investigate Zhao Lin for his own good, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless as to arrest Liu Zhengyan and all the officials from the Jiujiang Governor's Office. Forget about the others, but please, father, save Liu Zhengyan, otherwise I will be ashamed to see my wife's sister."
Emperor Chengping was immediately furious: "Zhao Lin is truly lawless! Someone come!"
Zhu Zhongyan quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."
Emperor Chengping said angrily, "What else is there to say?"
Zhu Zhongyan asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Zhao Lin?"
Emperor Chengping said without hesitation: "Intelligent, obedient, and filial."
This filial piety refers to the 500,000 taels of silver given to Emperor Chengping.
Zhu Zhongyan said, "Yes, Zhao Lin is absolutely loyal to Your Majesty, because everything he has is given by Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, he is nothing, so Zhao Lin will never betray Your Majesty."
Emperor Chengping nodded: "I don't think he would dare."
Zhu Zhongyan continued, "So he must have his reasons for arresting the Imperial Envoy Liu Zhengyan. Your Majesty, why don't you let him write a letter to defend himself? If he can't provide a suitable reason, it won't be too late to dismiss him and investigate him."
"Well, you're right." Emperor Chengping nodded and said, "Draft an edict. Forget it. Let me tell you my oral instructions. Ask Zhao Lin to explain why he arrested Liu Zhengyan and whether he is dissatisfied with me."
"As you command!"
Zhu Zhongyan immediately asked Anquan to convey the order to Zhao Lin.
"Wait. Father, Zhu Zhongyan accepted gifts from Zhao Lin and was in cahoots with him, so he must protect him. I beg you to let someone else go." Prince Yu hurriedly stopped him.
Are you kidding? Letting Zhu Zhongyan's people go would give them a chance to discuss.
Definitely not.
Zhu Zhongyan smiled and said, "Who does Prince Yu think is suitable to go?"
"let……"
Prince Yu suddenly realized that if he said the name, it would be exposed as his man, so he quickly said: "Of course, it is my father who will make the decision."
Emperor Chengping said impatiently, "It doesn't matter who goes. If you're worried, go by yourself."
Zhu Zhongyan smiled and said, "It would be fine if Prince Yu went in person, so that he wouldn't be worried."
Prince Yu naturally didn't dare.
Now is a critical moment. If he leaves the capital, when he returns, the person sitting on the throne may have been replaced by the crown prince.
Prince Yu quickly said, "I recommend Yu Youning, the Imperial Censor. Yu is upright and unafraid of power, making him the perfect person for this task."
Emperor Chengping said indifferently: "Then let him go."
Prince Yu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Zhu Zhongyan indifferently. Seeing that the old dog had a smile on his face and didn't seem to care at all, he secretly became angry in his heart.
When I become emperor, the first thing I will do is to feed you, the old dog.
Zhu Zhongyan returned to his residence and immediately sent a carrier pigeon to send a letter to Zhao Lin, reminding him that the matter had become a big deal. Emperor Chengping was very angry and sent Yu Youning to investigate him.
At the same time, he took credit and said that if he hadn't spoken well of him, the people who were going to arrest him would be on the way.
"The emperor was very angry and sent Yu Youning?"
Zhao Lin received the letter via carrier pigeon and sneered.
Su Di said angrily, "It must have been Feng Siyuan who passed it on. We might as well put him in jail together."
Fu Wenqi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
No wonder these two can get along so well.
They are all very daring people.
Fu Wenqi quickly dissuaded him: "Don't do that. You've already arrested so many people. If you arrest Feng Siyuan for no reason, you won't be able to explain to His Majesty."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I'm not that reckless. Have you found the secret room in Feng Siyuan's house?"
"Not yet," Sudi said. "The people we sent in are too low-ranking to qualify for those important positions. And Feng Tao was taken away by Feng Siyuan, so we can't contact him."
Zhao Lin thought for a moment and said, "Set fire."
"set fire?"
