The current prefect naturally believed whatever Zhao Ji said, because the incentive Zhao Ji had given was too great.
The prefect knew clearly that if he could deal with Zhao Ji's crime, he could live. No matter what his status was, at least he could live with his family. Who wouldn't want to live?
And my daughter can be rescued, this is truly a win-win deal.
Zhao Ji was also certain that the prefect would not refuse, and he was also very clear that the prefect would stand on his side in order to save his life.
When Zhao Ji told the prefect about his plan, the emperor was standing next to him. When Zhao Ji finished telling the prefect about his plan, the emperor's eyes widened.
“I never thought it could be played this way!”
The emperor was extremely shocked when he spoke.
Zhao Jize looked at the prefect with a smile and asked gently, "Now you know what you are going to face, right? If you want to regret it now, I will give you a chance to regret it. Then you will go directly to prison and I will also help you rescue your daughter."
"You only have one chance to think it over. I can't help you every time. Once you agree, no matter what risks you encounter later, you must make sure you fight for your life!"
Zhao Ji was speaking to the prefect very seriously, but it must be said that Zhao Ji was being very frank.
"Don't give me time to think about it. When I agreed to the deal, I had already thought it through. I am a gambler, and what I'm betting on is my chance to survive this time!"
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Since you have thought it through, then I won't force you to do this. I wish us a pleasant cooperation and that we can achieve our goals in the end!"
"Everything will go according to plan from now on. If there are any special unexpected situations, you will need to adapt to the situation. Always think about your daughter!"
Zhao Ji took the emperor away and patted the prefect on the shoulder, which contained some encouragement.
"Then it's up to you to perform!"
Zhao Ji took the emperor and quietly climbed over the wall and left the mansion. Soon the prefect called out to the two women who were knocked unconscious as if nothing had happened.
"If you haven't rested enough, go and rest quickly. Let someone else come over. You can't let one or two of you faint while working, right?"
The prefect scolded loudly with a stern face.
The two maids really thought that they had been too tired during this period of time, so they did not sleep well and fainted.
Now the prefect is just like before, following his own pace of life step by step.
After Zhao Ji and the emperor returned, they removed the disguises on their faces.
In fact, they did not disguise themselves when they were at the prefect's place before, so that the prefect could recognize them at a glance.
Once they left the prefect's place, Zhao Ji and the emperor didn't want to be watched, so they returned to their previous disguises.
Before entering the room, Zhao Ji specifically whispered to the emperor: "This matter is only known to you, me, and him. We must not let a fourth person know our plan, otherwise there is no guarantee that the information will not be leaked!"
The emperor admired Zhao Ji even more because of this plan, so he was very easy to talk to at this time.
And as far as this incident is concerned, the emperor and Zhao Ji are definitely on the same side, because who leaked his whereabouts in advance and wanted to arrange things for him secretly.
So this time, even though Xiao Xia Zi and Wang Wanru came many times to inquire about what Huang Sheng and Zhao Ji had done that afternoon, the emperor remained tight-lipped and said nothing. All he knew was that they had gone for a walk outside and didn't get anything.
Because of this, Wang Wanru and Xiao Xiazi were particularly curious. They both knew that there must be something fishy going on that afternoon, but they couldn't find out anything from anyone, so in the end they had to give up.
At the same time, the emperor and Zhao Ji began to pack their luggage and pretended to leave the town. Wang Wanru and Xiao Xia Zi originally wanted to follow them, but the emperor changed his mind and felt that he and Zhao Ji would be back soon, so he did not plan to let them leave.
"Wanru has been a little weak recently, so it's not suitable for you to travel long distances for the time being. But I'm also very worried about leaving a woman like you here. I didn't even bring my maids with me. Now my best helper is Xiao Xiazi!"
"So after thinking it over, I think it's better to let you two stay for a few days. After all, I'm in a hurry here and have something to do!"
Xiao Xiazi scratched her head and wanted to follow, but Wang Wanru couldn't think of any other reason.
Zhao Ji, who was standing by, just stood there with his arms folded, watching quietly.
Originally, Wang Wanru wanted to act coquettishly to gain the emperor's mercy and let him take her with him.
But this time, because the emperor knew that he would be back soon, he felt that there was really no need to go through so much trouble.
The emperor is determined, so there is nothing others can do.
Zhao Ji was very happy when these two people suffered a setback.
Finally, these two troublemakers have calmed down a lot.
On the evening of the day when the emperor and Zhao Ji left, a familiar man in black came to the prefect's house.
The prefect was originally admiring the flowers in the garden, with a servant by his side. However, when he turned around, he couldn't find the servant. When he looked down again, he found the servant lying on the ground unconscious.
Seeing this, the prefect understood immediately. He looked at the place next to him quietly and said, "Since you are here, don't hide. Show up directly. Everyone is straightforward. This is not the first time we have cooperated!"
After saying this, the prefect saw a man in black coming out from behind a tree and wrapped the back of the man's hand.
It is very obvious to see the very conspicuous mole on the back of the black-clad man's hand.
It was precisely because of seeing this mole that the prefect was certain that the man in black had not changed.
"I have done everything you said before, so can you please release my daughter to me now? Cooperation also requires sincerity, otherwise how can I cooperate with you next time!"
The prefect pretended to be a devoted father who wanted his daughter back with all his heart.
He indeed thought so, but in fact the prefect himself knew very well in his heart that the man in black would definitely not let his daughter back this time.
The simple point is that once they release their daughter, the men in black will have no leverage to punish them. Then, at that time, they cannot guarantee that the payment will not turn around and sell out the men in black.
So it is through such behavior that a relatively balanced situation is maintained.
The man in black sneered, "We have said before that we will not release your daughter until we achieve our goal. Now I just asked you to do a small thing, but you are so impatient?"
