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

Chapter 31 Self-rescue means
In fact, Zhao He didn't expect that the jailer would actually give him a bedding. He just asked tentatively. After all, there was really no way to sleep in this place.

But he actually gave it to Zhao He, which Zhao He didn't expect.

He couldn't help but remember what Cao Lang said before leaving.

Who is Cao Lang?
After being frightened by the jailers, these prisoners became more honest, but the resentment in their eyes could not be concealed.

Those who could be sent in by Cao Lang personally were all extremely vicious people, but this person was not shackled and even allowed himself to be taken care of, which showed that this person was innocent and had no choice but to go to prison.

And he seemed to have a good relationship with Cao Guanren, so he did this kind of favor thing easily.

Zhao He made a bed and lay on it. The smell in the air was unpleasant, but not to the point of being unbearable.

The main reason is that the excrement has been frozen and does not emit any smell.

But sleep is definitely not possible. No normal person can be so big-hearted as to fall asleep in prison on the first day.

He lay down for a long time, but he couldn't sleep because he was tossing and turning.

Suddenly the voices of the jailers were heard not far away.

"Lord Cao."

"Bring me a lamp."

When Zhao He heard the noise, he immediately sat up, and Cao Lang quickly came in with an oil lamp, opened the cell door and sat beside the bed.

Cao Lang had a smile on his face: "How about Zhao He, how does Zuo Sili Prison feel like?"

Zhao He laughed dryly: "It must not be very good."

"When you get to Yousili Prison, let alone this bedding, I'm afraid you won't even have any clothes to wear, and you will be poured with some cold water and tied to the interrogation table outside."

Zhao He suddenly felt a little panicked: "So cruel?"

Cao Lang smiled and nodded: "I have interrogated prisoners like this before, and I know this kind of thing best."

Ok.

"Brother Cao, who are you?"

Zhao He asked slowly.

A person who can take him to Zuosili Prison, which is the strictest prison in Kaifeng Prefecture, can actually ask the jailer to take care of him?
Moreover, Zhao He still vividly remembered the scene in which Cao Lang claimed to be his own officer and confronted the unnamed person.

He didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark, and Cao Lang couldn't escape it now, if he had no ill intentions towards him.

Cao Lang also smiled and didn't hide it.

"Cao is the director of joining the army of Zuo Sili in Kaifeng Prefecture. I am in charge of Zuo Sili Prison here."

Zhao He was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he was not too surprised.

The speculation about Cao Lang started when he entered Zuo Sili Prison. His identity was equivalent to the theater of the Beijing Police Department in later generations. Zuo Sili was naturally upright, and his status was already extraordinary.

Seeing Zhao He's expression, Cao Lang narrowed his eyes.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Zhao He smiled slightly and said, "I'm quite surprised, but it would be boring to show it off."

Cao Lang smiled heartily: "As expected of the person I have been observing for more than half a month recently, he is indeed not simple."

Ok?
More than half a month?
Zhao He's expression suddenly became strange, why are you a man observing me?
Hard to do.
Zhao He immediately said: "Brother Cao, it's impossible for us, I like women!"

After learning Cao Lang's identity, Zhao He still addressed him as brother Cao instead of Cao Guanren as he should be called.

I just want to see if Cao Lang accepts this title. If he doesn't accept it, I'm afraid there is less chance of him leaving Zuo Sili Prison.

Cao Lang's expression suddenly changed, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "What are you thinking!"

Zhao He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face: "It's just a joke, Brother Cao, don't worry about it." Cao Lang snorted coldly: "I don't want to hear similar jokes!"

He is very straight. Although he has not had any contact with women in these years, he also knows that his orientation is normal.

Who likes men so much?

"During this period, you have been making a lot of moves. Whether you want to make money or protect yourself, your actions have clearly violated the laws of the Song Dynasty. According to the law, we are going to arrest you."

Hearing this, Zhao He suddenly felt confused. In fact, he also felt this matter. That day, he almost shouted that the prince general Xiang Ning had the guts to rebel.

"Brother Cao, why don't you take action?"

"curious."

Cao Lang gave his own answer.

"I'm very curious about you. How can a 15-year-old boy do this? I really want to see how you deal with Fan Lou in the end. It's a pity that after such an incident, I can't see it anymore."

"Do you know the identities of the two people in your home today?"

Zhao He was suddenly confused: "What is your identity?"

Cao Lang didn't say much. It seemed that Fan Zhongyan had concealed his identity.

There is also the middle-aged man whose identity is unknown but must not be an ordinary person.

Judging from his conversation, he must be a person in a high official position in the court, or he must have a high status.

But now there is no one named Li Zhen who matches him, which means that the other party has concealed his identity.

Moreover, Zhao He did not say anything about Fan Zhongyan's plea to Dou Rushang tonight.

It seemed that he didn't know all this, which meant that these people must have some plans for Zhao He.

A 15-year-old boy with extraordinary experience, skills, and character, coupled with the unknown big shot behind him, this person becomes more and more interesting.

Therefore, Cao Lang should try his best to protect this person.

Zhao He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Brother Cao, I still have Uncle Guo at home, the one you saw today. Please send someone to inform him that I am fine."

Cao Lang nodded: "I will do this, but you may not be able to get out for a while, at least until the storm passes."

Zhao He said with a smile: "Isn't it true that the other party has used the forces of the Runan Palace as you said?"

Cao Lang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"So you may be in big trouble this time."

"It's just for profit. It's just for a cooking recipe. Brother Cao, do you know the relationship between Fan Lou and the Runan Palace?"

Cao Lang said slowly: "This is not a secret. The founder of Fan Lou, Jiang Yuanshan, was once the personal attendant of King Runan. In his early years, he blocked an arrow for King Runan, which saved his life."

"After he recovered from his injury, King Runan couldn't bear to let him continue to work by his side, so he gave him a large sum of money to live and work in peace and contentment. However, this Jiangyuan Mountain is extraordinary. One person built the first restaurant in Bianjing, and the Mansion of King Runan There seems to be a [-]% annual dividend there.”

If there is a life-saving grace, it is still a shareholder. In this way, it is probably clear.

Cao Lang asked curiously: "Why are you asking this? Then it would be difficult for me to negotiate with King Runan. What's more, King Runan did not come forward in person. Instead, he arranged for someone to do this and found King Runan. It’s very difficult to resolve this matter.”

Zhao He shook his head: "There are always some things you need to know. Now I have a rough idea of ​​what I'm facing, and I feel confident."

No matter what it was, Zhao He did not do anything harmful to the world. It was just against Fan Lou's interests.

He took a deep breath. Since the other party had already done everything, there was no need for him to hold it in any longer, otherwise he might be dead.

"Brother Cao, please do me a favor. I need paper and pen."
