Zhao Youping gave up so easily, this is not like his character!
Even Old Madam Xu was stunned. She then said arrogantly, "You're sensible. You shouldn't have come today and troubled me."
Old Madam Xu was also very proud of herself. She was spoiled by the children in her family and thought that everyone had to flatter her.
Zhao Youping didn't care, "You're right, sorry to bother you."
He left with his men, and the officers were furious. "Brother Zhao, are you just letting it go?"
"How can that be? We need to be strategic when doing things. It's hard to explain things to an old lady like this. If something goes wrong, it will be our fault."
Zhao Youping also sighed in his heart, why are people so different?
But he remembered his grandmother, a kind old lady who was very nice to her grandchildren. She would give him snacks and pocket money every time they met. All the children liked her very much.
It’s a pity that my grandmother passed away a little early.
Putting aside these emotions, Zhao Youping went directly to the palace.
The officers became nervous: "Why are you in the palace?"
"Just find someone sensible from the Xu family to talk to."
Yes, he went directly to General Xu. This was his son and he had to take care of him.
It was just when the court was dismissing, and the important officials of the court came out one after another, in groups of three or five. If one knew the situation, one could tell which family had good or bad relations with which other.
General Xu was walking with the Seventh Prince, who had now come to court to administer government affairs and was deeply loved by the Emperor.
But it would take some time before he was crowned king. Although the Seventh Prince seemed unconcerned, he was actually quite anxious.
General Xu was his master, so naturally he accompanied his master after the court session and listened to his teachings.
Zhao Biao also came out, but he was followed by Master Ye and Lord Xia, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, and they were actually very close.
These are the connections that Zhao Letong has gathered for his father. Old Master Ye now values Zhao Biao more than his own son. Without Zhao Letong, he can't even protect his grandson.
Now his daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and it was Zhao Letong who saved the baby. The old master feels that Zhao Letong is here to save their Ye family.
Zhao Biao is a man of integrity and uprightness. He does not tolerate any wrongdoing. The task of eliminating corruption among military officers is a tough one, so he must protect them.
There is no need to talk about Lord Xia Ruhai. He is a notoriously tough guy in the court. He is devoted to solving cases. He will arrest any royal relative who breaks the law. If the emperor dares to cover up for them, he will criticize the emperor as well.
Therefore, he admired Zhao Biao very much. Although Zhao Biao felt that he and Xia Ruhai were not the same kind of people, he was a military general and did not like to criticize others. Why did this old man like to pester him?
However, Xia Ruhai is the eldest grandson's immediate superior, so it is always a good idea to maintain a good relationship with him.
"Why is my eldest grandson here?"
Zhao Biao was worried, thinking something had happened, but he didn't expect Zhao Youping to just nod at him and then stop General Xu.
Zhao Biao: “…”
What is the eldest grandson going to do?
General Xu was quite magnanimous. "What do you want from me, Dali Temple?"
"General Xu, your youngest son is suspected of being involved in the recent rape and murder of several young girls. I request your cooperation in having your young master come to the Dali Temple to stand trial."
General Xu frowned: "My child? Could it be a mistake?"
"Whether he was right or not, we'll know after the trial. Since the Dali Temple is looking for him, they must have evidence. I've been to your house, and your old lady is very protective of her. I can't argue with her. If she gets angry, it's my fault."
The seventh prince Xiao Yuanchen looked solemn and said nothing. After all, this was the general's private matter.
With so many court officials present, General Xu couldn't express his dissatisfaction even if he had any. He said, "Okay, I will take my son to the Dali Temple."
"Thank you very much. I will also thoroughly investigate this case and convince the general."
Xia Ruhai said to Zhao Biao with satisfaction: "Your family has raised a good grandson. This child is brave and resourceful, has extraordinary courage and ability. He is really good."
Zhao Biao: "I think it's a bit reckless. Doesn't this offend the Xu family?"
"If the Xu family kid really killed someone, the Dali Temple would have to intervene. It's hard to say whether it would offend or not. If you're afraid of offending others, just keep him at home like a waste. Why go out?"
"you……"
Zhao Biao was so angry. This old man scolded everyone he caught, but he didn't say anything.
Zhao Youping bowed and left with his men without even saying hello to Zhao Biao. He was busy with official business.
This incident attracted the attention of the ministers in the court. Even the emperor and the crown prince heard about it. The emperor asked the crown prince, "What do you think about this matter?"
The prince said: "The reputation of the young master of the Xu family has never been very good. As long as he has killed someone, we still need to investigate thoroughly.
After all, General Xu has made outstanding military achievements. He has been stationed at the border for so many years for the sake of the country and has neglected to discipline his children and grandchildren. The court cannot wrongly accuse his children.
However, since the Dali Temple dared to arrest people in such a high-profile manner, it seems that they have evidence.”
"That captain is the eldest grandson of the Zhao family. The descendants raised by Zhao Aiqing are all very good."
"Of course. General Zhao is upright and loyal, and he has many children. This is a sign of prosperity for the family. His youngest daughter is also proficient in the mystical arts. She is a blessed woman."
Emperor Xuande said, "Your aunt really likes that girl and wants to adopt her as her daughter. I have always wanted to meet her, but I just haven't had the chance."
"Let's wait until the autumn hunt. I'll make the arrangements. I've seen that child once before, and he's quite intelligent."
"Alright, why haven't I seen the Crown Prince come to pay his respects recently?"
The prince's heart tightened. "The weather has changed, and the child is feeling a little unwell. I'm afraid that the illness will spread to the emperor. I will come to pay my respects when I feel better."
"Then let the imperial physician take a good look at it."
Emperor Xuande looked at him with a somewhat gloomy look, and the prince's forehead was covered with sweat. Did his father know something?
We have to find the child quickly, he can't be stopped anymore.
Xiao Shanjian, who was enjoying himself in the palace, had no idea how much pressure his father was under. It was good to have a few more days of fun, but once he returned to the palace, such days would be hard to come by.
…
Zhao Letong dealt with the female ghost and sent her to the underworld. As for how to deal with her, that was the judge's business. She was only responsible for sending her away, and it was already very good that she didn't let her become a lonely ghost.
Fang Xinyue, who had not seen her for a few days, came to see her with a few books in her hands, and hugged the fox Lin Susu, and walked into the inner room as if she knew the way.
Zhao Letong was drawing talismans with his butt sticking out. His body was not as tall as the table, so he was standing on a chair while drawing.
"Tongtong, what are you busy with? Writing or painting?"
Fang Xinyue is quite curious. Doesn’t Tongtong dislike writing?
Zhao Youping said that she tried every possible means to get Xiaoshan to help with homework.
Lin Susu pricked up her ears and climbed directly onto the table. The fox's eyes widened. "How could you draw such amazing talismans? What on earth do you do for a living?"
Zhao Letong felt a little tired and put down his brush. "I am who I am. I'm not a goblin or a ghost. I'm just a human!"
