Chapter 597 0594 [The Zhao family is almost losing face! ]

"To be honest with you brothers, I have something else to do, so we'll talk another day."

Zhao Gou looked apologetic, bowed, turned around and left.

He doesn't want to get involved in the mess these brothers are involved in. Once he is involved, he can't get rid of it even if he wants to.

Hearing this, Zhao Mo immediately quit and squinted his eyes and said, "Ninth Brother, what is more important than us brothers?"

"This……"

Zhao Gou's face froze, and he smiled awkwardly, "Well, let's put this matter off for now. The brothers' business is more important."

Things have come to this, with so many people watching around, what else can he do?
"Jun Hu, please help Third Brother to judge the matter."

Zhao Kai shouted at the top of his voice as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Seeing Zhao Kai bleeding from his nose, his left eye red and swollen, and being pulled by a group of brothers, Zhao Gou knew what was happening.

It was nothing more than that he borrowed money from his brothers, or bought lottery tickets, or went to the casino and lost all his money.

Now the brothers are here to collect the debt.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou asked knowingly, "What happened to Third Brother?"

Zhao Gou said angrily: "They sold their fields and cattle to buy the lottery tickets for Qiyun Society to win the championship. Now that Qiyun Society has lost, they come to me to pay compensation and beat me up. Tell me, are they fatherless and brotherless people?"

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Zhao Zhen immediately started cursing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shu at the side shouted in a low voice: "You can scold him, but why insult my mother!"

Zhao Shu and Zhao Kai were brothers from the same mother, both were born to Concubine Wang. When they heard that Zhao Zhen was involving their own mother, they naturally spoke out to stop it.

"Hahaha!"

This scene caused the onlookers to burst into laughter.

"I just said something out of turn, please don't blame me, Fifth Brother."

Zhao Zhen smiled and immediately grabbed Zhao Kai's collar and said, "He deceived us at first, saying that our father was seriously ill and borrowed money from us to buy lottery tickets. After we found out, we went to ask him to pay us back, but he kept saying that Qiyun Club won the championship and he would return the money with interest. He also said that Qiyun Club could only lose if a sow flew to the sky, so he made us bet our entire fortune on Qiyun Club. Now he refuses to admit his debt!"

So fucking embarrassing!
Feeling the mocking gazes of the people around him, Zhao Gou's face turned blue and red. He was so ashamed and angry that he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Zhao Kai retorted: "You bought the scarves yourself. I didn't force you with a knife. Besides, Qiyun Society is very strong. Who would have thought that these bastards would lose a few days ago?"

"Well done!"

"These bastards from Qiyun Society deserve to be scolded!"

These words actually attracted the approval of many people.

This was because many people in the crowd had also bet on Qiyun Society to win the championship, and they were already angry.

Seeing that his words were recognized by the onlookers, Zhao Kai was proud and raised his chin slightly and said, "As a brother, I taught you how to make money, and you didn't feel grateful, but you came to your house to ask for it. When you couldn't get it, you hit people. Is this what a younger brother should do?"

After all, he was an emperor, so he was eloquent and thick-skinned.

"I'm so angry!"

Zhao Zhen was so angry at his lies that he screamed and started punching him.

"Brother Eighteen, stop it. We are all brothers. If you have something to say, let's talk it out. Why do we have to use force?"

Zhao Gou hurriedly persuaded Zhao Zhen to stop.

It's embarrassing enough in itself, what would happen if they fought in the street?
Zhao Zhen grinned and said, "Ninth brother, don't worry about it. If I don't beat this guy up today, I won't be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart."

Zhao Gou suddenly had an idea and said, "My father is on duty on the Imperial Street, not far from here. Why don't I ask my father to come and do justice?"

He wanted to divert the trouble to someone else, so he invited Zhao Ji to come and then escape.

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, a voice came out from the crowd: "King Kang, please stay. I will go and call the street cleaner to come over for you."

You're the only one who talks too much!
Zhao Gou was so angry that he wanted to slap the man twice, but he smiled and said, "Haha, if that's the case, thank you very much."

"You are so polite, Prince Kang. I will go right away."

As the commoner said this, he ran towards the Imperial Street.

This is a typical case of people just wanting to watch the fun and not mind making trouble. All the people in Tokyo city are like this. It's outrageous.

……

As the year draws to a close, officials from various ministries, agencies, states and counties begin their annual performance appraisals.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, officials were evaluated and rated based on three aspects: population, taxation, and education.

Among them, if there are bandits suppressed or thieves captured, or if the top three candidates in the imperial examination are born, they will be rewarded according to the circumstances.

In addition to political achievements, there are also factors such as integrity and character.

But in Han Zhen's view, it was too general, and some political achievements could not take effect in the short term, which was extremely unfair to officials.

Therefore, after consultation with the cabinet, Han Zhen set the official assessment to ten items.

The population, taxes, and education remained unchanged, but land, industrial and commercial workshops, water conservancy, infrastructure construction, etc. were added.

The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the assessment and review, with the Inspectorate providing assistance. In addition, evaluations from colleagues and superiors, as well as comments from local inspectorates, are also included in the assessment as reference material.

Han Zhen does not need to be concerned with the assessment of officials below the fifth rank.

There were simply too many officials from the fifth to ninth ranks. If Han Zhen had to review each one personally, he would not be able to finish the review until the beginning of the year.

Therefore, only officials of the fifth rank and above would be sent to the palace by the Ministry of Personnel.

When it comes to being an official, the seventh and fifth ranks are a hurdle, and this is not just a casual remark.

"His Majesty."

Han Zhen was checking the official assessment book sent by the Ministry of Personnel when he saw Liu Chang walking into the hall with a strange look on his face. Seeing this, Han Zhen asked, "What happened?"

Liu Chang replied, "The royal family members of the pseudo-Song dynasty are making trouble in the streets."

"Tell me about it."

Han Zhen instructed with interest.

"It is said that it was Zhao Kai..."

Liu Chang suppressed his laughter and recounted the news truthfully.

Finally, he suggested, "Your Majesty, the Street Cleansing Officer has already gone to Kaifeng Prefecture. There are thousands of people outside the government office, blocking the streets. Should we order people to disperse the people?"

Han Zhen didn't say anything, but just glanced at him indifferently.

Liu Chang was startled and immediately understood what Han Zhen meant.

Your Majesty, this is really making the Zhao family look bad!

Thinking of this, Liu Chang hesitated and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the punishment?"

Han Zhen said indifferently: "Let Li Ruoshui enforce the law impartially!"

"My slave takes orders."

After Liu Chang agreed, he walked out of the hall.

Watching Liu Chang's departing back, Han Zhen smiled slightly and continued to read the official assessment booklet.

He had said before that in many cases, living people are more useful than dead people.

Rather than killing Zhao Ji and the Zhao clan members and letting people praise the good deeds of the previous dynasty, it is better to let them stay in Tokyo City so that people all over the world can take a good look at what kind of people the Zhao family is.

Fortunately, Zhao Kai and his gang did not let him down and quickly came up with something fancy.

Let's take this opportunity to give them a good beating.

From now on, no one will use the Zhao family's name to cause trouble.

……

Kaifeng Mansion Yamen.

Zhao Gou huddled in a corner, feeling his cheeks burning and his heart aching with fear.

The officers in the government office and the gazes of the onlookers outside were like arrows piercing his body.

Even though he was down and out, he always tried to maintain his dignity as a royal family member, especially during this period, when he led the martial arts club to the top eight of the Cuju competition. For a time, he was in the limelight and was considered a celebrity in the capital.

But today, this group of brothers completely shattered the dignity he had worked so hard to maintain.

The identity of being a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty will become a laughing stock in the future.

At this moment, Li Ruoshui, who was sitting behind the desk in the hall, was also feeling a headache.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs. Moreover, Zhao Ji's family has a special status, so he is in a very difficult situation at the moment.

At this moment, the judge came quickly from the back hall and whispered in his ear: "The palace has issued an order to enforce the law impartially!"

Li Ruoshui's expression was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand."

He was a veteran in officialdom, and when he heard the words "enforce the law impartially", he immediately understood the government's intentions.

At this time, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Li Fuyin, this matter is caused by the ignorance of the young people in my family. I will take them back and teach them a lesson. You don't need to worry about it."

He is not like these stupid sons. He knows what is going on.

The shame of this matter is secondary. If things go wrong, you may end up in court and go to jail.

Judging from the personality of the person in the palace, it is really possible.

Therefore, while Li Ruoshui had not yet made a judgment, he would first classify the matter as a family matter, take him back and teach him a lesson, and that would be the end of it.

However, the next moment, Li Ruoshui said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao is wrong. There is no family affairs in the court. Since they have entered the court, I will judge the right and wrong."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Ji's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

At this time, Zhao Zhen, the young man, added: "Li Fuyin's words make sense. The right and wrong should be clearly judged!"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Ji shouted angrily. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would definitely slap him twice.

Zhao Zhen shrank his neck, still very afraid of his father Zhao Ji.

After scolding this rebellious son, Zhao Ji said with a smile on his face: "My children are still young and ignorant, and they are making trouble. Li Fuyin, please give me some convenience. After returning, I will discipline them strictly."

Li Ruoshui said expressionlessly, "Lord Zhao, I have to try a case right now. Please sit aside and don't disturb the court."

"This……"

Zhao Ji felt bitter in his heart, and finally he could only sigh, walk aside and sit down.

After sending Zhao Ji away, Li Ruoshui looked at the royal family members in the hall and asked, "Zhao Zhen, why did you sue Zhao Kai?"

Zhao Zhen stiffened his neck and told the whole story: "He used the excuse that his father was seriously ill to cheat us out of money, and ended up using the money to buy lottery tickets. After we found out, we went to ask him to pay us back..."

Zhao Ji, who was standing by, heard this and held his forehead with both hands.

So fucking embarrassing!
Although Zhao Ji did a lot of bad things, he always maintained the dignity of an emperor.

These rebellious sons are just terrible. One of them is addicted to gambling and spends his days cheating and deceiving people.

For the sake of money, one of them even disregarded brotherhood and killed his own brothers.

The Zhao family is almost disgraced by them!
