Zhou Shi'an said disdainfully, "I've heard of Song Huaian's reputation. He's nothing more than a bandit, not worth mentioning. If the Crown Prince had brought his subordinates with him to suppress the rebellion, they would never have allowed him to suffer the humiliation of being captured and the pain of having his ears cut off."
When Zhao Chenhan is mentioned, he gnashes his teeth in hatred.
It was that incident that shattered his dream. After returning, he was placed in the Hanlin Academy and could no longer go out to work independently.
"Zhao Lin! I must kill you!" Zhao Chenhan growled.
Zhou Shian's eyes showed disdain, but it quickly faded away. He said, "Killing Zhao Lin is easy. Just make up a random crime when the time comes."
Zhao Chenhan asked: "Why don't you ask me why I want to kill Zhao Lin?"
Zhou Shian said: "It's not important. There are so many people who don't like it. What's important is how to do it."
Zhao Chenhan nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, you are very much to my liking. I can promise you now. If this is successful, I will at least give you a position as the Minister of Six Ministries."
Zhou Shi'an was overjoyed and quickly bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness! I will do my best to help you, clear the obstacles, and ascend to that position."
Zhao Chenhan nodded heavily.
"You and I, master and servant, will definitely become a legend in the future!"
Zhao Chenhan left with satisfaction.
Zhou Shian's face immediately darkened and he said "Pooh".
"You lowly creature, are you worthy enough to compete with an adult?"
Zhou Shian said disdainfully, "Your Excellency has built water conservancy projects, reclaimed farmland, and cracked down on corrupt officials. The six plans have benefited the people of the two provinces. Who do you think you are? You are just a fool who only knows how to fight for power and profit. How can you be qualified to compete with Your Excellency?"
…
"Zhou Shi'an has arrived in the capital and has initially gained Zhao Chenhan's trust."
In the evening, Fu Liqing said to Zhao Lin.
Yes, Zhou Shian was specially selected by Zhao Lin and sent to Zhao Chenhan.
Specifically to help him get promoted and make money.
Didn’t Zhao Jingzhou send someone to Zhao Chenhan? Zhao Lin should send one too.
I don't believe that Zhao Chenhan won't bring honor to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Lin praised: "Madam is really capable. This has all been arranged."
Fu Liqing said embarrassedly: "It's mainly because Zhao Chenhan is too stupid. He believed whatever I said."
Zhao Lin shook his head and said, "He's not stupid, he's just too greedy. If he had just been a good prince of the Zhenbei Marquisate, he'd have been given a high position and generous salary when Prince Yu ascended to the throne. It's a pity that he only cared about fighting me and ignored the arrangements made by Zhao Jingzhou and his wife. He didn't even think about the fact that with such a fool, wouldn't he be betrayed and killed if he became an official?"
Fu Liqing asked: "What are you going to do next?"
Zhao Lin said: "Let Zhou Shi'an continue to instigate Zhao Chenhan, and it would be best if he were to rebel."
Fu Liqing frowned and said, "Zhao Chenhan won't listen, right?"
Zhao Lin said disdainfully, "Zhao Chenhan is narrow-minded, sensitive, and suspicious. Just tell him a few more times that Zhao Jingzhou and his wife have a conspiracy against him, and he'll definitely become suspicious and do the opposite of what they've planned. Zhao Mingzhu is a prime example."
"Zhao Jingzhou controls the Zhenbei Army, and the court will not easily punish him. However, if Zhao Chenhan rebels, Zhao Jingzhou will be blamed. If not his entire clan will be executed, he will also be implicated."
"Even if Zhao Chenhan doesn't actually rebel, he can still alienate them and make their family restless. It's a sure win anyway."
"If the Zhenbei Marquisate wants to deal with me, then I'll strike first and let them die!"
Fu Liqing leaned gently in Zhao Lin's arms: "My husband has suffered."
Zhao Lin laughed: "I didn't suffer much. The Zhao Lin who really suffered is dead."
The more he said this, the more distressed Fu Liqing became. She said, "Tonight, I will comfort my husband. I will do whatever you want."
"real?"
Zhao Lin was overjoyed.
Although Fu Liqing had been sleeping in the same room with Zhao Lin for a long time, she was too shy to change positions, leaving Zhao Lin helpless.
Yun Zhiyi, on the other hand, was quite relaxed. Perhaps because she knew her own identity, she tried her best to satisfy Zhao Lin.
I had an unexpected gain today.
Just as Zhao Lin was about to blow out the candle, there was a knock on the door.
"Master! Lord Su requests an audience."
Zhao Lin was puzzled: "Why is he here so late?"
Fu Liqing said, "Sudi has always been sensible. He must be here for something important. Go quickly."
Zhao Lin said dissatisfiedly: "What's so urgent that it can't wait until tomorrow?"
Fu Liqing covered her mouth and smiled: "Go quickly, go quickly, I will wait for you to come back."
Zhao Lin had no choice but to put on his clothes and come out, saying to Sudi angrily, "You're ruining my business! You'd better have something urgent to do, otherwise I'll be mad."
In the darkness, Sudi blinked cunningly, suppressed the corner of his mouth, and said, "We found the people sent by the Xiong family."
"Oh? Where?" Zhao Lin immediately became serious.
"It was in Qingzhou. They actually contacted Gao Junliang, and Gao Junliang traced them and found them." Su Di said.
"Okay! Act now and don't alert anyone else."
Zhao Lin sneered and said, "How many people from the Xiong family come and disappear?"
