Chapter 848: Capture Tao Yue
After getting the words out of Zhen Yingtian, both Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan believed that the Imperial College was very problematic. The students there were either rich or noble, powerful, and young. It was indeed the best choice to start with them. .

However, it was not that easy to enter the Imperial College, and the two of them never had the chance.

Now Ning Hao was given a chance.

Tao Zhen really wanted to see it.

Pei Zhan disagreed: "It's too dangerous."

He looked at Tao Zhen and said, "Don't you think it's too coincidental? We were going to investigate the Imperial College, and Ning Hao gave us a chance to come over?"

Of course Tao Zhen knew, but this was a rare opportunity.

Pei Zhan frowned: "I don't need you to take risks for me."

Tao Zhen laughed: "How many times have I taken risks for you? There's no reason why I can't do it this time."

"It just won't work." Pei Zhan firmly disagreed. He had never been so stubborn before, and Tao Zhen didn't know what to say.

"I am sensible and will not take risks." Tao Zhen tried to convince him, but Pei Zhan refused. He said, "Actually, whether the masked man has infiltrated Dashun or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Tao Zhen was stunned.

Pei Zhan finally spoke his mind.

"Who is in charge of Dashun's affairs? The masked man's affairs have nothing to do with me. I don't care at all, and I don't want you to be in danger. Any danger is unacceptable."

He hugged Tao Zhen, put his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, "Is it okay if I don't go?"

They can kill Yanbei students, they can plan riots in the exile village, they can kill Nie Fei, and if they want, they can kill Tao Zhen.

It's not that Pei Zhan doesn't want to know who the Imperial Academy is hiding, but he doesn't want Tao Zhen to take risks.

Tao Zhen finally nodded and rejected Ning Hao.

The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Pei Zhan can send people to protect Tao Zhen, but he does not have the confidence to be foolproof. He does not allow such uncertain factors to exist.

Tao Zhen only needs to make money to support his family, and he will do the rest by himself.

After returning to the capital, he did many things by himself without telling Tao Zhen.

Tao Zhen couldn't resist him and had no choice but to follow his wishes.

After rejecting Ning Hao, Tao Zhen focused on her business. Fang Mujiang wrote that their pig farms in other places in Dashun were running smoothly and the sales were very good. He planned to go to Qi and Chu Give the country a try.

Tao Zhen also agreed. She also had contact with the merchant ships of the Chu State and was able to get a lot of good things, which could be sold to the capital and to Yanbei.

Tao Zhen was busy, Pei Zhan was not idle either, and Dali Temple finally found out about the dancer.

"Chu people?" Pei Zhan said: "Chu has always been on good terms with Dashun, why did he suddenly assassinate His Majesty?"

Huo Xing couldn't figure it out, but this was indeed the news found by Dali Temple.

How to deal with the relationship between Chu State is the emperor's business, and they also have an idea.

They say there is no airtight wall in the world. No matter what you do, you will leave clues.

Huo Xing and the others checked the people around Wei Cheng and learned that before the accident.Wei Cheng seemed to have found something. He was very happy, saying that he had finally found it, and this time he was going to stand up.

But they still don't have a clue what they found specifically, but they found a key person.

This man was a liquor seller. Wei Cheng had sent someone to monitor him before the incident. Even the people around Wei Cheng didn't know what Wei Chengcha was doing.

Huo Xing sent people to watch this man for several days. He was very honest and showed nothing unusual.

"Is it possible that we are going in the wrong direction?" Pei Zhan looked at the man in front of him: "Why don't we just grab him and ask?"

Huo Xing glanced at him, obviously disdainful of his behavior. "Hey, that's not..." Pei Zhan looked at the man standing next to the wine seller and said, "I know him. He is the boy next to Tao Yue."

Tao Yue is the eldest son of the Tao family.

Huo Xing: "Are you sure?"

"Very sure, let's follow up and see what these people have to do with each other?"

Pei Zhan was a little excited. He had been back for a year and he still couldn't get hold of the Tao family. The Tao family seemed loose, but it was airtight and there was nothing strange about it.

This is not normal.

Dong Wei said that the Tao family had a relationship with the Masked Man, and that what happened to the Pei family was the result of the joint efforts of the Tao family, the Qin family, and the Queen Mother. However, he found evidence or motives for both the Qin family and the Queen Mother, but not for the Tao family.

Pei Zhan once wondered whether the Tao family was just a standout and they didn't participate much at all.

Until now, he didn't know what kind of existence the Tao family was. However, when he saw this young man, Pei Zhan became excited. He vaguely felt that this was an opportunity to tear open the inside of the Tao family.

The boy bought some drinks and food and went to a courtyard. The door was closed and Pei Zhan couldn't get in. Just when he was at a loss what to do, Huo Xing had already jumped on the wall and quickly entered the courtyard.

Pei Zhan "..."

Pei Zhan told himself that it was nothing special to be able to climb the wall, but he still wanted to go in and take a look.

Huo Xing came out after a while. His face was normal, but his ears were red.

Pei Zhan, who has rich experience, said: "Hey, it's not hot today. Why is Mr. Huo's face so red?"

Huo Xing glanced at him and decided not to tell him what was going on and let Pei Zhan go in a hurry.

"He didn't tell me what happened inside." After returning home, Pei Zhan still spoke ill of Huo Xing in front of Tao Zhen.

Tao Zhen knew Huo Xing well. Mr. Huo was not an unreasonable person. She looked at Pei Zhan and said, "Did you say something unpleasant?"

Pei Zhan shook his head like a rattle: "Of course not, how is that possible? I'm not that kind of person. How could you say that to me for another man?"

Tao Zhen "..."

Pei Zhan refused to admit it, and Tao Zhen didn't ask until Huo Xing came to the Pei family.

The woman who lives in that courtyard is named Yang. She is the wife of Tao Yue, and she is the cousin of the wine seller.

Tao Zhen didn't understand: "Why is Wei Cheng following them?"

Huo Xing said: "You will know in a few days. If Tao Yue does something bad, it will always be exposed."

Facts have proved that Huo Xing was right.

They watched Tao Yue for a while, and since no one gave Tao Yue proof when the accident happened in the paddock, he was invited to the Inspection Institute.

Tao Yue didn't say anything at first, only that he didn't know and the Inspectorate couldn't torture him.

"We must pry open Tao Qian's mouth before he makes any move." Pei Zhan said with a gloomy expression.

Huo Xing knew that this man wanted to avenge himself, but he didn't care. Just as Pei Zhan said, Tao Yue's mouth must be opened as soon as possible, otherwise the night will be long and he will have many dreams.

There were quite a few ruthless officials from the Inspectorate who interrogated him all night long, but Tao Yue refused to speak, and it was almost dawn.

"Sir, if you don't say anything, we can't do anything." The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were also in a dilemma.

The Tao family is a respectable person, not a cat or a dog, so it's not okay to keep Tao Yue locked up like this.
