"What's right about it? Why are you talking about Wu Zhonglin?" Cheng** said angrily.
Zhao Lin said, "I was talking about Wu Zhonglin, or the matter of Concubine Rong. The reason why Concubine Rong suddenly mentioned me was not because she was just idly chatting, but because of Zhao Chenhan."
Cheng** looked puzzled: "Is she related to Zhao Chenhan?"
Although the Wu family is a small family with some money, it is still far behind the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion.
If it weren't for Concubine Rong, the Wu family would have been nothing more than a group of low-profile businessmen. Even Wu Zhonglin was brought into the family after Concubine Rong gained favor.
How could it be related to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?
Zhao Lin kowtowed and said, "Zhao Chenhan, I once stayed overnight in Shuyu Palace."
call!
Cheng ** suddenly stood up, his face flushed, staring at Zhao Lin intently, and said sternly: "Zhao Lin, do you know what you are saying?"
Zhu Zhongyan, Eunuch Xu, Concubine Rong and others outside the door were startled by Cheng**'s sudden raised voice.
Concubine Rong looked delighted.
The emperor is so angry, Zhao Lin is dead.
It can avenge my uncle and vent Zhao Chenhan's anger, killing two birds with one stone.
I must make that little nemesis repay me well tonight.
Zhu Zhongyan and Eunuch Xu looked at each other with serious expressions.
It would be better if such a child who gives away money doesn't get chopped off by the emperor.
Zhao Lin said, "Your Majesty, you will know if I have lied or not once you investigate."
Cheng**'s face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.
No man can stand this.
What’s more, he is the emperor!
Cheng** looked down at Zhao Lin: "How did you know?"
Zhao Lin said without hiding anything: "I have been sending people to keep an eye on Zhao Chenhan."
Cheng** was so angry that he laughed: "Just tell the truth."
Zhao Lin said, "I dare not deceive the emperor. As for Rong Fei's uncle Wu Zhonglin, I also want to know if he knows about this matter so I can find an excuse to arrest him. If he does, then I will eliminate this trouble for Your Majesty."
Cheng** said with satisfaction: "Does he know?"
Zhao Lin said, "He insists he doesn't know. But no matter what, it doesn't matter whether he knows or not."
Cheng** nodded slowly.
Rong Fei actually dared to cheat on him, which is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family.
However, if the news gets out, Cheng** will be the one who is embarrassed.
By doing this, Zhao Lin was telling Cheng** not to worry about others knowing.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Cheng** asked.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not such a person. If not, I would not have been appointed Governor-General at such a young age."
"You're quite clever." Cheng ** snorted coldly and said, "Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"
Zhao Lin said, "I have never lied to Your Majesty. I have done so in the past, I am doing so now, and I will do so in the future. For example, I not only sided with the Crown Prince, but also with Prince Yu to profit from their influence. Didn't I tell Your Majesty all of this?"
Cheng** nodded slowly.
Cheng** once asked Zhao Lin out of curiosity who he supported. Zhao Lin then told Cheng** in a secret letter that he had taken refuge with two people who had cheated them of their money and beauties, which made Cheng** laugh out loud.
"Bitch! How dare you cheat on me? I'm going to kill her and her entire clan!"
Cheng** said angrily.
Zhao Lin quickly said, "Your Majesty, calm down. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must seize the stolen goods; to catch an adulterer, you must seize the couple. Only when we have evidence can we stop him."
Cheng** asked: "What do you have in mind?"
Zhao Lin said, "Zhao Chenhan has been jealous of me for a long time. If he knew that I was dismissed from office and imprisoned by Your Majesty, he would definitely come to thank Concubine Rong."
Zhao Lin stopped talking after that.
How else can I thank you? Of course I have tried my best.
Cheng**'s face looked ugly again.
The thought of his favorite concubine sleeping with another man made him want to kill someone.
"If what you said is true, I can forgive all your sins. If it is false..."
Cheng** said grimly, "Not only you, but also the families of your two wives, don't even think about surviving."
This is what is called "living with the king is like living with a tiger."
If it wasn't for the purpose of tricking Zhao Chenhan and Zhao Jingzhou at the same time, Zhao Lin wouldn't have used this trick.
"This kind of thing is easy to distinguish. Unless I am crazy, I would never dare to deceive the emperor. Even if Zhao Chenhan does not come today, he will come in a few days. Your Majesty, please be patient for the time being. We will know the outcome in a few days." Zhao Lin said.
"Okay!" Cheng** agreed immediately.
"Now, it's time for Your Majesty to punish me." Zhao Lin said.
Cheng ** was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Lin deeply and said, "Someone come here."
Zhu Zhongyan immediately opened the door and came in, followed closely by Rong Fei.
"Zhao Lin abused his power for personal gain and arrested innocent people indiscriminately. He should be dismissed from his post immediately and imprisoned in the Tianlao Prison pending trial." Cheng ** gave the order.
Zhu Zhongyan was shocked.
What did Zhao Lin say to make Cheng** impose such severe punishment?
Even if the favorite concubine's uncle was captured, he should not be treated like this.
He is the Governor!
But Zhu Zhongyan didn't dare to express his thoughts, and quickly said, "I obey your order. Come here."
Two imperial guards immediately rushed over and took Zhao Lin away.
Rong Fei was overjoyed. She had never expected that Zhao Lin could be eliminated so easily. She came to Cheng **'s side, grabbed Cheng **'s sleeve, and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of this concubine."
Looking at this pretty and charming face, Cheng** felt nauseous when he thought of another man exerting himself on her. He suddenly pushed Rong Fei away and said, "Go back to the palace."
Rong Fei almost fell over. She looked at Cheng ** who left in a rage. She didn't understand why, thinking that he was angry at Zhao Lin. She stood up and gently patted the non-existent dust on her clothes. She smiled and said, "Little rascal, wait and see how I suck you dry."
