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

Chapter 32 The temptation of two people

Although Cao Lang didn't understand what Zhao He wanted to do, he still sent someone to bring paper and pen.

Zhao He quickly wrote down ten portions of the stir-fry recipe on paper and handed it to Cao Lang.

"Brother Cao, please help me transfer these to the people in Fan Lou."

Seeing this, Cao Lang immediately understood Zhao He's plan and said with a smile: "Do you think they will give up just because of this?"

Zhao He shook his head: "It's definitely not that simple. It's just to let the other party see my attitude clearly, so that they will negotiate with me again."

Cao Lang was slightly disappointed and said: "Just give up like that?"

Zhao He said with a smile: "What can we do? We can't trouble Brother Cao. It would be a big sin to cause Brother Cao to lose his official position. The other party is the Prince of Runan after all. What can I, a common man with a flat head, do?"

The oppression of feudal society is not something to be taken lightly. In the past, the merchants in Fanlou were able to complain just because they were businessmen and could not have fame. In the final analysis, they were still common people, just wealthy common people.

Moreover, Zhao He regarded each other as a competitor.

But once the nobles and bureaucrats were involved, Zhao He would not even think about how to resist.

In this kind of society, the only price for being stubborn is death.

Zhao Heping would even smile and greet the patrolling officers and soldiers on weekdays, because they were also bureaucratic people, which was very different from his own status.

Therefore, sometimes you must know your situation and status, and then make the most correct choice. If you die, you will have nothing, so what is the use of being tragic?

But Zhao He said slowly again.

"Don't worry, after I go out, they won't make money from this cooking recipe, as long as I can go out."

Another wave of waves flashed through Cao Lang's heart.

This guy has a back-up plan!

Ever since, his original idea of ​​revealing his identity to Zhao He and asking him to hold on disappeared.

Is King Runan very bad?It must be dick.

But the Cao family has a queen!

Who is more favored by His Majesty, a prince who plots evil every day, or the Cao family?
This is self-evident.

Cao Lang put away the paper and nodded with a smile.

"I'm sure you'll be out soon."

Zhao He didn't pay attention and lay directly on the simple bed made of wooden frames. It was indeed much more comfortable with the bedding.

"Hopefully."

Cao Lang's meaning is definitely not what it means on the surface.

But there is something deeper behind it.

The forces behind you, besides Fan Zhongyan, should also know that you are in trouble, right?

Facing the Runan Palace, are they capable of rescuing you?

If this is the case, then the energy behind him may be very large.

I’m really looking forward to it, Xiaolangjun!

In Zhao's courtyard, Fan Zhongyan dragged his heavy body back, while Guo Huai had been waiting at the door.

Seeing Fan Zhongyan, Guo Huai hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Mr. Fan, I'm sorry to trouble you, how is Xiao Langjun's situation?"

Fan Zhongyan shook his head helplessly.

The situation is over, and now I am just a common man!

Seeing this, although Guo Huai was extremely anxious, he still did not criticize him harshly. Looking at the old man's expression, he knew that he had done what he could do.

As for himself, he could only raise Zhao He these years, but he couldn't help him at this time.

Officials, old slaves are incompetent.
Not far away, an officer and soldier suddenly came over. Guo Huai thought it was Li Fang whom he was familiar with.

"Brother Li, are you here?" Li Fang said softly: "Guan Cao asked me to inform you that Zhao He is in Zuosili Prison now and will be fine. Use whatever means you have at your disposal. "

When the two heard this, their hearts immediately relaxed.

After Li Fang had gone far, Fan Zhongyan said: "That official Cao must be Cao Lang who came today."

Guo Huai said in confusion: "I remember that Li Fang belonged to Zuo Sili Prison, wouldn't that mean Zuo Sili joined the army and was in charge?"

Fan Zhongyan nodded: "You know a lot."

Guo Huai didn't say anything. In his early years, he worked as the supervisor of the inner palace beside the Queen Mother. What didn't he know?
"Then what Li Fang means is that Cao Lang wants to protect Xiao Langjun?"

"It must be like this. I know you care about Zhao He, so I might as well give you some peace of mind. Behind Cao Lang is the current Bianjing Cao family."

Cao family?Uncle Cao Guo?

Guo Huai's heart suddenly dropped by half.

There is actually such a person willing to help Xiao Langjun?It seems that Xiaolangjun will not face any difficulties.

But this matter must be known to the officials.

And Fan Zhongyan thought the same way.

Obviously, the two did not know each other's identities. The only thing they had in common was that they were both worried about Zhao He.

Fan Zhongyan suddenly mentioned: "Zhao He is absolutely innocent, and this matter is definitely a frame-up!"

Guo Huai also agreed: "I watched him grow up, how could I not know this?"

"Watching it since childhood?"

Fan Zhongyan narrowed his eyes, but he realized that Guo Huai was Zhao He's domestic slave, and the rest was not clear.

"You have really watched Zhao He grow up since you were a child. Do you know who Zhao He is?"

Seeing this, Guo Huai pretended to be stupid: "What is your identity? What is Mr. Fan talking about? I just said that I watched him grow up since I was a child."

Fan Zhongyan said oh.

"Does Mr. Fan know something?"

Fan Zhongyan also pretended to be stupid.

"I just saw that this kid has good talent and wanted to teach him."

Both of them were pretending to be stupid. They both knew Zhao He's identity and neither wanted to expose it.

At the same time, the two also made a tacit agreement not to talk about their identities.

When Guo Huai heard this, he immediately sneered in his heart, what kind of scholars are you? A poor old man like you can teach a prince of an official family, at least you need someone like Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu!
Guo Huai directly changed the topic and did not discuss the matter further: "Mr. Fan, the question now is how to rescue the young man. This matter is definitely unjust. Not only the traders know it, but also the common people must know it." It is clear that if this matter spreads, someone will definitely stand by Xiao Langjun."

Fan Zhongyan immediately had an idea in his mind.

"Beating drums to complain?"

In front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, there is a drum that beats the sky, which means that the drum will be beaten by the sky. It can only be beaten when there is a major injustice.

However, the emperor will never deal with such a matter, but the matter will also be directly judged by the Kaifeng governor.

However, the price of drumming is not small. If the Kaifeng Mansion feels that there is no need to try its own unjust, false and wrong cases, it will be handed over directly to other organizations, and the drummer will be severely punished.

The governor of Kaifeng is all an undercover agent. Can this case be won?
You definitely won't win, and you might even get beaten.

But once there are too many people and things get serious, the officials will definitely know about it.

By then, Zhao He will be saved!
Hearing this, Guo Huai had similar thoughts in his mind.

As long as the noise is louder, the officials will know that no matter who he is, Fan Lou or the people behind it, they are just chickens and dogs!
When the officials are angry, all these people will be destroyed!
Ever since, the two began to make plans intensively.

Guo Huai has followed Zhao He for the longest time and is most familiar with Zhao He's contacts in Bianjing, so he is responsible for recruiting people.

Fan Zhongyan served as the prime minister of the current dynasty. His ability to persuade people with words was not inferior to that of Zhao He, and he was responsible for mobilization.
