Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 28 Confrontation between the government and the government
Seeing Cao Lang, Zhao He looked a little surprised.

But after all, he was facing officers and soldiers, so he still said: "Brother Cao, there is no need for you to intervene in this matter. I believe in the government."

Only then did he see the officers and soldiers behind Cao Lang. Li Fang and others were all familiar to him, and he couldn't help but be startled.

Looking at this posture, you are their boss?

eh?

Cao Lang said coldly: "Xia Hong, who gave you the courage to arrest people on my own territory?!"

Under the Kaifeng Mansion, the two principals from the Li Prison on the left and right appeared here together.

The people around him were unclear about the situation, but the merchants could tell that the official was on their side, and the people here were also familiar with it.

The two sides confronted each other, and the tension reached its peak in an instant.

Since ancient times, both the dynasty and the people have respected the left, and this is also the case in Kaifeng Mansion.

The status of Cao Lang, the military supervisor of Zuo Sili, was much higher than that of Xia Hong, the military supervisor of Right Manager. Cao Lang was not only responsible for the security of Bianjing, but also the interrogation and arrest of prisoners in Kaifeng Mansion.

Xia Hong was a little surprised as to why Cao Lang appeared here and seemed to want to protect Zhao He.

But these are not important to Xia Hong
Normally, Xia Hong might be afraid of the existence of Cao Lang's family background and have scruples, but today he has no intention of giving in at all!
Xia Hong said loudly: "This matter was personally ordered by the Palace Master, you have no right to interfere!"

The governor of Kaifeng ordered the arrest of a trader?
Cao Lang immediately smelled the conspiracy and realized that it was Fan Lou's hands and feet.

"Where are the arrest documents?"

Xia Hong directly took out a document and said immediately: "According to the order of the governor of Kaifeng, Zhao He made a huge profit from stealing the cooking formula, causing Fan Lou to suffer huge losses. According to the law, he was sent back to await trial!"

Hearing this, Cao Lang glanced at Zhao He and didn't believe the so-called theft argument at all.

He had been observing Zhao He since he started selling fried dumplings. Was he not clear about theft?

Moreover, Zhao He is likely to be related to Fan Zhongyan. The person whose identity is unknown today is either rich or noble, and is definitely not an ordinary person.

This shows that there is definitely someone powerful behind Zhao He, and the relationship between Fan Zhongyan and Zhao He alone is worthy of Cao Lang standing up to speak for Zhao He.

"Just the evidence?!"

As soon as he said this, the other party immediately pointed to the vendors around him. Before Xia Hong could speak, Cao Lang sneered and said, "Isn't it too childish for you to use this as evidence? Could it be that you are just arresting people when you want to?" Where do you put the laws of the Song Dynasty?"

Xia Hong frowned and didn't understand why Cao Lang would talk to Zhao He like this. They usually had a bad relationship, but today was business and he had no reason to be afraid of Cao Lang.

"Cao Lang, the arrest document is here. Is it possible that you want to disobey Shangguan?"

Cao Lang glanced at the document and knew that it was not fake, and the other party's aura obviously did not intend to let it go.

If Zhao He is caught and imprisoned, even if it is a lie, it will be said to be true. As Zuo Sili, the director of joining the army, he is most aware of the methods used in Kaifeng Mansion to extract confessions through torture.

Didn't Fan Lou just want Zhao He to hand over the cooking recipe?

Zhao He glanced at Cao Lang and seemed to see that his identity was unusual, and then he handed over his hands and said: "Brother Cao, I won't bother you with this matter. Since they are ready to target me, I also want to see what they can do." What methods are used!"

He then turned to look at the vendors and said, "If I don't come back within seven days, follow the previous plan."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately understood.

Xiao Langjun had previously confessed that if something happened to him, in order to preserve their business, they must publish the stir-fry recipe so that they would not be targeted again by Fan Lou because of their exclusive production.

One person's eyes were already red: "Xiao Langjun, don't follow them. If you get in, you won't be able to get out."

"Yes, Mr. Xiaolang, you are innocent. At worst, we will play the drums tomorrow."

Zhao He shook his head. Until today, he was no longer able to control it. If the other party directly used the backstage to suppress it, then he would have no choice but to fight to the death with the other party.

With the recipe for cooking, it's not a problem to replace yourself, because the other party's purpose is there, and as long as you insist on it, they won't let you die.

Once he came out, he would follow Guo Bo and leave Bianjing, and then spread the cooking.

If you are not human, then don’t blame him!It's just that you always have to suffer some physical pain, so you have to endure it.

Zhao He stepped forward and walked towards Zhongxia Hong.

The other party narrowed his eyes, as if he was mocking Cao Lang.

At this time, Cao Lang reached out and grabbed Zhao He.

"Brother Cao?"

Cao Lang did not answer Zhao He, but looked at Xia Hong.

"Since we want to take him back to the prison, I will take him back!"

Xia Hong frowned suddenly: "What do you mean?"

Cao Lang stared at the other party with an astonishing aura: "How dare you arrest someone on my territory? Are you not taking this officer seriously?"

The two were at the same level, and although Cao Lang was higher than Xia Hong, his words were clearly meant to put pressure on him because of his family background.

If you don't take me seriously, you don't take the Cao family behind me seriously!
Is a person like your father qualified to fight with the Cao family?
Xia Hong gritted his teeth, took the arrest document and said angrily: "This order is from the governor, I want you to arrest him!"

When Cao Lang heard this, he shouted, slowly stepped forward and grabbed the document.

"Then you can't arrest anyone on my territory. I know your identity clearly!"

Then he waved his hand to signal Zhao He: "Let's go!"

Zhao He was stunned and looked at Cao Lang's back.

This guy is so good at pretending!

Who are you to pretend like this!

Li Fang, who was behind him, patted Zhao He on the shoulder and said, "Guan Cao is protecting you. You have entered Yousili Prison. No matter how hard you persist, you will be punished. Don't worry, I will speak to Guan Cao for you." .”

Zhao He nodded, feeling a little more relaxed.

He had some friendship with Cao Lang, and he also understood the meaning of Cao Lang's move, but Zhao He had no idea how to deal with it in the future.

You have to arrive first before talking.

This confrontation between the two groups of officers and soldiers immediately silenced the originally lively crowd. After the people left, the original excitement was not restored for a while.

"Xiao Langjun has entered, what should I do?"

"Go and tell Brother Guo, he probably doesn't know yet."

At Zhao He's house, a group of traders rushed over. Seeing Guo Huai in the courtyard at this time, they immediately came forward.

Seeing everyone so panicked, Guo Huai felt something bad in his heart: "What's wrong?"

"Brother Guo, Zhao He was taken away by people from the government. It's probably because people from Fan Lou were causing trouble!"

"Just think of a way!"

Guo Huai was immediately shocked. He knew the methods of Kaifeng Mansion. If the prince went in, there would definitely be no good end!
Once something happens to the prince, he will be blamed!
Guo Huai immediately calmed down his chaotic thoughts and asked the merchant to go back first, while he went to find Fan Zhongyan himself.

"Mr. Fan, something happened to Zhao He. I know you are not an ordinary person. Can you think of a way?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhongyan immediately widened his eyes.

Who dares to touch the prince!

Someone actually pooped on the emperor's head!
