surnamed Wang

Chapter 20 Tips
Zhao Cong was lying on the rocking chair at this time, and two court ladies were serving him, one rubbed his shoulders and the other beat his legs.He himself is drinking this year's new tribute tea.In some ways, his life was more comfortable than that of the emperor, but today his good life is over.

The emperor didn't need evidence or procedures to investigate a person, he just sent someone to arrest him.This is the situation now, the eldest prince took the emperor's handbook and led a team of forbidden troops to come directly in front of Zhao Cong. Looking at the menacing crowd, Zhao Cong, who had seen the world before, couldn't help feeling guilty, and hurriedly Get up and greet with a smile.

"What kind of wind is blowing today? Why is Your Highness free to come to this slave? If you need something, you can send someone to call me."

"Grab it!"

The eldest prince didn't talk nonsense with him, he just gave orders, Zhao Cong was tied up before he understood the situation, at this moment he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Search!"

Following Wang Bingxian's order, more than a dozen imperial guards rushed into Zhao Zong's room and began to search. After a while, the leader of the imperial guard came out of the room.

"Your Highness, there is nothing, only a few hundred taels of silver."

Only a few hundred taels?The eldest prince became suspicious. Normally, the emperor asked him to investigate Zhao Zong, so he must have obtained real evidence. How could he not find anything?

Looking at Zhao Cong again, he who was flustered just now is as steady as an old dog.

"Continue to search, dig three feet!"

The imperial guards really did their job. They said they planed the ground three feet, and they dug the ground three feet. They took a hoe and iron drill and started digging, even the floor of the house was not spared.

After working all afternoon, I dug the whole house and yard and found nothing.At this time, the sky was already dark, and the First Prince saw that there would be nothing to gain if he continued to dig, so he immediately ordered: "Take him back and make a decision tomorrow."

At night, the eldest prince tossed and turned on the bed, thinking wildly in his heart, "It's rare for father to give me a chance. I wanted to perform well, but I didn't get anything all afternoon. Zhao Cong must have hidden the money elsewhere, but he Where can it be hidden?"

The more Wang Bingxian thought about it, the more confused he became. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard someone whispering outside. The voice should be two young eunuchs.

"Hey, have you heard that Manager Zhao was arrested by the Imperial Army?"

"Yo! What's the matter?"

"I heard that he colluded with businessmen, filled his own pockets, secretly embezzled supplies from the big family, molested old women, and had affairs with sows."

"Hey! You said that once Mr. Zhao is arrested, what will Madam Li do with him?" The co-author really teased the old woman.

The eldest prince here has been eavesdropping with his ears up all the time, but why does it feel that the more he listens, the more something is wrong?The reason for the arrest was not announced to the outside world. Why did they know more than themselves, and the tone seemed to be deliberately telling themselves, so they hurriedly got up and opened the door, wanting to go out and ask what happened.

But after opening the door, the others were dumbfounded, outside there was a bright moon in the sky, and there was no one there.

The two whispering, who else could there be besides Wang Gangquan and Xiao Chunzi.

Wang Gingquan saw that the eldest prince had searched for a long time but failed to find any stolen money, so he planned to help him.

I said before that Wang Gingquan likes to peep around in the palace when he has nothing to do. Once Zhao Cong flirted with a nanny, and he saw it. It is expected that the two must be good friends. Now that I think about it, the stolen money is very likely to be hidden. At Mammy's.

The eldest prince who got the news here summoned the Imperial Army overnight to the residence of Nanny Li.As a result, when they arrived at the place, there was no sign of Nanny Li, and the house was turned into a mess. It was obvious that they had fled with money.

Immediately, Wang Bingxian ordered the palace gates to be sealed, and then began to search, and the palace was instantly lit up with lights.

Here Wang Gingquan originally planned to wash up and go to bed, but he heard the noise outside, so he hurried out to watch the fun, and just happened to meet a forbidden army when he went out, and after inquiring, he found out that Nanny Li had run away.Wang Gangquan was familiar with all kinds of secret things in the palace, so he immediately thought of those secret passages, and it was very likely that Nanny Li would leave the palace through the secret passages.

So he lowered his figure, bypassed the imperial army, and rushed towards the secret passages he knew.

Sure enough, when Wang Gangquan found the second secret passage, he saw a figure carrying a huge burden from a distance, preparing to open the secret passage.Wang Gingquan operated the fifth level of Qi Condensation to the extreme, and came to the back of Nanny Li without a sound, knocked her out with a knife in his hand, and then disappeared like a ghost. Mother Li.

When the eldest prince arrived with his people, he looked at the unconscious Nanny Li, although he was a little shocked in his heart, but he still calmly ordered his subordinates to take her down.

After the crowd dispersed, Wang Bingxian looked around carefully, and soon found the secret path. At this moment, his heart was already in turmoil.

Who was it that knocked her out, and who was sending the message to him, could this person be sent by his father to help him?Or is he Zhao Cong's enemy?The eldest prince, who had thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the result, could only secretly pray that the other party would be a friend rather than an enemy.

Although the facts were not as complicated as the eldest prince thought, he also guessed right that Wang Gangquan did have animosity with Zhao Cong, but this enmity had no root or cause, it was purely Zhao Cong's bad luck.

The next day, in the court hall, under the astonished eyes of the ministers, the First Prince escorted Zhao Cong and Nanny Li to the morning court.

"Father Wang, Zhao Zong, the chief eunuch in charge, and his accomplices have been arrested and brought to justice, and the amount of embezzlement and dirty silver has been investigated and dealt with totaling 280 million taels."

The emperor nodded and looked at Zhao Cong, "Can you plead guilty?"

Zhao Cong was trembling at this moment, unable to speak.

"If you don't say it, you're tacit consent. Come here! Drag Zhao Zong and his followers out of the Meridian Gate and behead them."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, this servant knows his mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

As the guards dragged him away, Zhao Cong's voice became smaller and smaller.At this time, some ministers in the court hall were trembling. The emperor looked at the expressions on their faces and did not speak for a long time. The whole hall was terribly quiet, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from time to time.

"A small eunuch commander actually embezzled more than 200 million taels!"

After the emperor finished speaking in a deep voice, he looked at the civil and military officials who bowed their heads under the steps of the main hall.

"Corruption of more than 10 taels is enough to punish the Fa on the spot. Count how many times you have died! I will not be wronged at all if I just pull one out of you and chop it up. Don't think that you are doing it without anyone noticing it." , I don't care, it doesn't mean I don't know, you can do it yourself!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he slapped the dragon chair and walked away.

After the emperor left, the hall was quiet for a while.

Just as the officials were preparing to go back to each house one after another, they saw a person blocking the doorway, blocking the way. The person who came was Wang Gangquan.

Wang Gangquan showed a harmless smile, cleared his throat, and said loudly:

"My lords, my father has an order, please go to the Meridian Gate to supervise the execution."
