The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 493 Seeking Skin from a Tiger

The original Dragon Guard, also known as the Dark Guard, moved very quickly and handed over the results of the investigation to Zhao Yao early the next morning.

After Zhao Yao read it, a bright smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Hahaha, it seems that I am lucky, God is helping me." The news that Liang Dingyuan was a descendant of the Pei family, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty in Marsh Mansion did not take it seriously. The news got out. Of course, the fact that he helped Liang Dingyuan and knew about the existence of the Southern Wei people did not spread outside the Marsh Mansion.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" the dark guard asked respectfully.

Zhao Yao ordered: "Go and capture this Song Dachuan."

"Yes, Your Highness." After receiving the order, the secret guard left the study quietly.

Zhao Yao looked at the results of the investigation in his hand and smiled with interest: "It seems that the internal struggle of the Southern Wei people is not inferior to that of my imperial brothers."

Song Dachuan, whom Zhao Yao just mentioned, was one of the leaders of the Southern Wei people in Marsh Mansion. Since it is one of them, there must be others. Yes, there is another leader named Duan Jiangcheng. The two men were not only at odds with each other, they also fought fiercely and wanted to kill each other.

Song Dachuan and Duan Jiangcheng came to Marsh Mansion to be mainly responsible for the business of Marsh Mansion and to monitor every move of His Highness the King of Han, and to send news about Marsh Mansion and His Highness the King of Han back to the capital.

Of course, Song Dachuan and Duan Jiangcheng were not from the Southern Wei Dynasty on the surface, but cloth businessmen from Jiangnan.

Speaking of which, Song Dachuan has something to do with the Jinling Song family. He is a branch of the Jinling Song family, and a branch that is not taken seriously. His mother was from the Southern Wei Dynasty, and his father started a fabric business in Gusu because of his mother's help. With the help of people from the Southern Wei Dynasty, his family is now one of the largest cloth shops in Gusu Prefecture.

Although people from the Southern Wei Dynasty spread throughout the Zhou Dynasty, even in foreign countries. However, the largest number of Southern Wei people were hiding in the south of the Yangtze River. The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty knew that if they wanted to restore their country, what they needed most was money. In order to restore the country as soon as possible, they must make a lot of money, and Jiangnan has been a prosperous place since ancient times, which is most suitable for doing business and making money.

In Jiangnan, which business is the easiest to make money, and which business can make the most money. The answer is fabric.

Fabrics from the south of the Yangtze River were so popular that they not only became tributes to the imperial court, but were also given as exquisite gifts to foreign dignitaries. Foreigners liked Dazhou fabrics very much, especially silk, and the silk from Jiangnan was the best.

The silk of the Song Dachuan family was chosen as a tribute, and one out of ten clothes worn by the ladies in the harem was from his family.

In addition to fabrics as tribute, his family also offered embroidery as tribute. Suzhou's fabrics and embroidery are famous all over the country, no, all over the world.

Foreign countries such as Annan and Johor, as well as those in the Western Regions, are very fond of Gusu's embroidery. They buy a large amount of Gusu embroidery from Dazhou every year.

Song Dachuan was the youngest son, and he was deeply loved and valued. This could be seen from the fact that he was sent to Marsh Mansion. He originally thought he was the only one coming to Marsh Mansion, but he didn't expect Duan Jiangcheng to be sent from above.

Duan Jiangcheng is a member of the Duan family in Jinling. The Duan family is also engaged in fabric business in Jinling, and their fabrics and embroidery are also tributes.

The Song family in Suzhou and the Duan family in Jinling are very famous in Jiangnan, and the two families are always compared. People who are watching the excitement or jealous always compare the two of them to see which one is the best cloth shop in Jiangnan.

On the surface, the Song family and the Duan family never care about comparison, but secretly they are always competing with each other. However, because they are both from the Southern Wei Dynasty, although the two families compete with each other privately, they are very harmonious on the surface.

In addition to the Song family and the Duan family, there is another fabric business in Jiangnan, the Chen family. The Chen family has always been eyeing the two of them, spreading rumors, sowing discord between the two families, and trying to make the relationship between the two families incompatible. The Chen family originally thought that by fanning the flames, the Song family and the Duan family would fight like blackbirds, so that he could reap the benefits. Unexpectedly, the Song family and the Duan family have always been harmonious, which made the Chen family very angry. .

Although the Song family and the Duan family are dissatisfied with each other, they can unite to deal with the Chen family. The people of the Southern Wei Dynasty had fierce internal struggles, but they were also very united, especially towards outsiders.

Song Dachuan is the youngest son of the Song family, and Duan Jiangcheng is also the youngest son of the Duan family. These two people have been compared since they were born, by the people in Jiangnan and by the people of Southern Wei. They were compared in every aspect, from how much money they made in doing business to how many beautiful concubines they had married.

The two of them have known each other since childhood and have always competed with each other. They both want to outdo each other.

Song Dachuan took the initiative to bring up the trade conference held in Marsh Mansion. Before the trade conference, no one was optimistic about it, but Song Dachuan was optimistic about it. He felt that Marsh Mansion had great development potential. Duan Jiangcheng did not come to Marsh Mansion to attend the trade conference.

After arriving at Marsh Mansion, Song Dachuan was very proud to see the benefits brought by the trade conference. After the trade conference, he immediately rushed back to Suzhou and persuaded his parents to transfer most of the family's business to Marsh Mansion.

Song Dachuan's parents agreed to his proposal and agreed to let him stay in Marsh Mansion to do business. After the Duan family learned about the benefits of the trade conference held by His Royal Highness the King of Han, they did not hesitate anymore and quickly sent their youngest son to Marsh Mansion to do business.

Duan Jiangcheng lost to Song Dachuan when it came to participating in the trade conference held by Marsh Mansion, and the Duan family also lost the Song family's opportunity to seize the opportunity in Marsh Mansion.

Song Dachuan felt that he had made great contributions at the trade conference. In the future, the business in Marsh Mansion and the heavy responsibility of monitoring the King of Han would fall on his shoulders. Unexpectedly, the superiors asked Duan Jiangcheng to monitor the King of Han with him, which made him very dissatisfied. But he had to accept it.

Song Dachuan has always wanted to trample Duan Jiangcheng under his feet so that Duan Jiangcheng would never catch up with him, so he has been secretly investigating the descendants of the Pei family over the years. He knew that the thing was probably hidden in the Pei family's treasure. If he found the descendants of the Pei family, he would definitely find the Pei family's treasure, and maybe he could find something very important to the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty.

Song Dachuan did not notice Liang Dingyuan at first. After all, Liang Dingyuan was the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he had no interaction with Liang Dingyuan. By chance, Song Dachuan went to a restaurant for dinner and happened to meet Liang Dingyuan. He heard someone calling Liang Dingyuan "Master Pei", which immediately attracted his attention.

He did not pay attention to everyone with the surname "Pei". After all, there were too many people with the surname Pei in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they could not all be descendants of the Pei family. The reason why he was "attracted" to Liang Dingyuan was because Liang Dingyuan had a gentle, elegant and noble temperament, which was not something ordinary people could cultivate. Later, he inquired and learned that Liang Dingyuan was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and was very shocked.

Although most of the officials in the small court of His Highness the King of Han are young people, there are not many people like Liang Dingyuan who became the Minister of Civil Affairs in their twenties.

Song Dachuan did not think that Liang Dingyuan was a member of the Pei family at the time, but he was a little curious about Liang Dingyuan, so he sent someone to investigate Liang Dingyuan. If you don't check, you won't know. Once you check, you will be shocked. Unexpectedly, Liang Dingyuan is a descendant of the Pei family.

Over the years, Song Dachuan sent people to investigate the descendants of the Pei family in foreign countries such as the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Western Regions, the Huns, and Annan, but there was no news. Unexpectedly, they were in Marsh Mansion, and right in front of his eyes. The shoes are nowhere to be found, and it takes no effort to get them.

Song Dachuan felt that God was helping him. If he found the Pei family's treasure and found that thing, then he would have made a great contribution. Not only would he be able to crush Duan Jiangcheng under his feet, but he would also be in a high position.

The ecstasy of finding the descendants of the Pei family did not make Song Dachuan lose his mind. He did not spread the news that Liang Dingyuan was found, nor did he tell his parents and family the good news. He planned to find the Pei family's treasure and tell everyone about it after he found it.

He originally thought that if he found Liang Dingyuan, he would be able to find the Pei family treasure immediately. When he found that thing, he didn't expect that Liang Dingyuan actually lost his memory. He didn't believe Liang Dingyuan's amnesia at first, but later investigation confirmed that Liang Dingyuan had indeed lost his memory due to illness and fever when he was a child.

While investigating Liang Dingyuan's amnesia, he discovered that the person who rescued Liang Dingyuan was the King of Han. Liang Dingyuan lost his memory due to illness and fever, and did not know his last name. However, his first and last names were given by the King of Han. This shows that the King of Han knew about the Pei family, and he might also know about the existence of the Southern Wei people. Fortunately, Liang Dingyuan had no memories of his childhood. The King of Han did not know about the Pei family treasure or its existence.

It was very important for the King of Han to learn about the existence of the Southern Wei people. Song Dachuan originally planned to report it to his superiors immediately, but then he thought about it. If he told his superiors that the King of Han had learned about the existence of the Southern Wei people, then the people above would definitely investigate in detail what happened to the King of Han. After learning about this matter, the people above will find out Liang Dingyuan and know that Liang Dingyuan is a descendant of the Pei family, then his contribution will be lost.

In order to achieve great success, Song Dachuan not only concealed the fact that Liang Dingyuan was a descendant of the Pei family, but also concealed the fact that Zhao Yao knew about the existence of the Southern Wei people.

For safety reasons, Song Dachuan specially sent people to keep an eye on Duan Jiangcheng secretly. He was afraid that Duan Jiangcheng would send someone to investigate him after hearing about Liang Dingyuan like him. Fortunately, Duan Jiangcheng didn't notice Liang Dingyuan's presence, which made him feel more and more that God was helping him.

After learning that Liang Dingyuan had lost his childhood memory, Song Dachuan sent people to find prescriptions and methods to restore memory, as well as doctors who could treat amnesia. After Zhao Yao learned about Song Dachuan, he had an idea in his mind. He could put the blame for Song Dachuan's death on Duan Jiangcheng, making the Southern Wei people more infighting. However, before killing Song Dachuan, he first saw if he could get news about the Southern Wei people from Song Dachuan. As for Duan Jiangcheng, someone has to keep an eye on it.

That night, Dark Guard A and the others captured Song Dachuan alive.

Song Dachuan woke up from a coma and found himself in a prison, which made him very panic. However, what shocked him even more was that the King of Han was actually in front of him.

Seeing that Song Dachuan was awake, Zhao Yao did not follow him around the bush and said straight to the point: "If you can find out that Dingyuan is a descendant of the Pei family, Boss Song, you are really very capable."

Song Dachuan was not only unhappy at being praised by Zhao Yao, but also became more and more wary of him.

"What do you want to do?"

"I should ask you this, what do you want to do?"

Song Dachuan stared at Zhao Yao warily and said nothing.

"You didn't spread the word that Dingyuan is a descendant of the Pei family. You wanted to find the treasure of the Pei family through Dingyuan, and then find that thing."

When Song Dachuan heard this, his eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief.

He didn't expect that the King of Han knew about the Pei family's treasure. What he didn't expect was that the King of Han also knew about the existence of that thing! How much does he know? !
Seeing what Song Dachuan was thinking, Zhao Yao smiled slightly, and then told him kindly: "I know a lot of things, Bage is your lord, and you have been helping Bage seize the throne and restore the Southern Wei Dynasty. "

Song Dachuan exclaimed: "How did you know?" Did the lord tell the King of Han? Impossible, the lord could not tell the King of Han.

"Don't worry about how I know." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "No matter how kind I am to tell you, Dingyuan was very ill when he was a child. He completely lost his memory of his childhood. He had no memory of who he was or what he had. I know who my parents are. I gave him his name, and I told him his surname Pei."

Song Dachuan said nothing with a cold face.

"I have tried every possible way. I have also hired all the famous doctors I can, but Dingyuan's memory still has not recovered." Zhao Yao said, "The doctors all said that the illness that Dingyuan suffered when he was a child only made him lose his ability. The memory didn't burn out his brain, it's because he was lucky and blessed. It's impossible for you to know the whereabouts of the Pei family's treasure through Dingyuan."

Song Dachuan didn't believe Zhao Yao's words. He felt that he must have a way to restore Liang Dingyuan's memory.

"I don't know if you know that Dingyuan's grandfather did escape by chance, but his grandfather was sent to a Taoist temple because of poor health since he was a child. Before the accident in the Pei family, his grandfather had been raised in the Taoist temple and had never returned. Pei family, what do you think is the chance that his grandfather knew about the Pei family treasure?" Zhao Yao continued, "If the Dingyuan family really knew where the treasure was, their family would not have been reduced to the point where their family was ruined."

Song Dachuan was not an idiot. After hearing Zhao Yao's words, although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that King Han was right.

"Your wishful thinking failed."

Song Dachuan glared at Zhao Yao and asked again: "What do you want to do?"

"I'm very curious about you Southern Wei people. I invited you here just to know about you."

Song Dachuan thought to himself: It is indeed so.

"Didn't you investigate us? Don't you know about us?"

"I know a lot, but I definitely don't know as much as you." Zhao Yao held a folding fan in his hand and fanned it gently. This time is the hottest time in Lingnan. Although Naofang is gloomy and gloomy, it is still very hot.

Song Dachuan said nothing and gave Zhao Yao a mocking sneer.

"I want to know about you, mainly because I want to make sure you will not harm my starling."

"How could we harm the lord? It's you who want to harm the lord." Song Dachuan pointed at Zhao Yao angrily, "You are plotting against the lord."

"Hahahaha, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard." Zhao Yao thought to himself, if he had harmed Bago, Bago would have died long ago. "You Southern Wei people are really dissatisfied with me and want to get rid of me."

Song Dachuan said angrily: "You are the greatest threat to the lord. You will definitely harm the lord in the future. You must die!"

"I think you can't accept that in Bage's heart, my younger brother is more important than you Southern Wei people."

Song Dachuan heard this and sneered: "In my lord's heart, we are naturally the most important. Who do you think you are?"

Zhao Yao was too lazy to argue with Song Dachuan about this matter, so he brought the topic back.

"I know you won't tell me your affairs obediently, so I have to use some means."

Song Dachuan showed great disdain for torture to extract confessions, "Even if you beat me to death, I won't tell you."

"I won't let you die." Zhao Yao smiled very kindly, "I will make your life worse than death!"

Song Dachuan was frightened by Zhao Yaoheshan's smile, and a creepy chill involuntarily rose up deep in his heart.

Zhao Yao stood up and asked people to take Song Dachuan away.

Song Dachuan was ready to be tortured to extract a confession, but he didn't expect that he would just be locked in a room. He didn't take it seriously at first and felt a little darker, but after two days, he couldn't hold it any longer. He felt like he was going crazy.

He yelled in the dark room and said he would say anything.

When Zhao Yao saw Song Dachuan again, he looked like a dying fish. Although he looks crazy, he is not really crazy. He still has some sense. He didn't hide anything and told Zhao Yao everything he knew.

After listening to Song Dachuan's words, Zhao Yao felt that the Southern Wei people must die. Also, the myna is really seeking skin from the tiger. If Bago really succeeds in the future, can he get rid of the Southern Wei people?
