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

Chapter 36 A father has to come in handy

Everything that just happened made Zhao He confused.

I remember well, that Xia Hong should be the director of Yousili's joining the army, right?

Are today’s jailers so tough?
Zhou Fei opened the cell door, and Cao Lang walked in and said with a smile, "Why is Xiao Langjun so surprised?"

Zhao He opened his mouth and said in slight shock: "I just didn't expect Brother Zhou to be so brave and have such superb martial arts skills..."

The key is this bravery. You don't know how high the official is, but you still dare to attack others!
It directly subverts the stereotype of giving to society!
Zhou Fei smiled and shook his head: "It's still a lot worse than Manager Cao. You guys chat while I go get busy."

Zhao He looked at Zhou Fei's back and couldn't help but yearn for it.

Such a brave general should not be a jailer in such a prison. If he could be poached...

At this time, Cao Lang obviously didn't know that the guy in front of him was thinking about how to poach him, so he slowly said: "The recipe of your dish has worked. Today, there should be a letter from Fan Lou, asking Fu Yin to take care of it." you."

Zhao He nodded. He was not surprised by this. The people in Fan Lou should have seen his intentions.

He wanted to go out, the people in Fan Lou wanted the formula, and a deal had been reached at a certain level.

But it's hard to say whether they can get out. Those people are not good people.

"How are you going to deal with it?"

Zhao He said slowly: "The other party is hiding and has a lot of resources behind it. It will not be easy to deal with it. They will only let me out on conditions that even the other party cannot refuse."

Cao Lang asked curiously: "Isn't this the formula?"

Zhao He shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to rely on this formula alone. The other party must be determined that I will rely on this formula to get out, and they will never give me a chance."

After all, as long as Zhao He can get out, the recipe of this dish can appear again in other places, and they will not let this go.

So Zhao He thought very clearly that he would only give the recipes for these few dishes and would never give more.

To whet their appetite, they will put pressure on the governor of Kaifeng again. At that time, they will have to use the art of restraint to find someone who can rival Fan Lou, so that they have no choice but to let him go.

Unless they only want this little stir-fry recipe and give up the rest, insisting on getting themselves killed in it.

They are all businessmen, they cannot be that stupid.

This is Zhao He's only chance, and there is no room for mistakes.

Seeing that Zhao He didn't say much, Cao Lang didn't need to ask more. If he really wanted to help him deliver a message or something, he would probably ask.

So Cao Lang told Zhao He what happened in Kaifeng Mansion today.

After hearing this, Zhao He was also stunned: "Brother Cao said that Uncle Guo and the others went to beat the sky drum?"

Cao Lang nodded: "Little Langjun, do you think this matter is beneficial to you?"

Zhao He suddenly fell into deep thought.

Beating the sky drum, no matter how many people there are, it is of no use. Apart from making more noise, I am afraid there is no other use.

It can put pressure on the governor of Kaifeng. If you have to beat the drum for such a small matter, you will definitely be held accountable by the superiors, but there are too many people beating the drum, and it is not easy for him to handle it.

To a certain extent, it can also confuse the judgment of the governor of Kaifeng.

But a person who can take the position of Kaifeng Fuyin should not be easy to deal with.

You still have to rely on yourself!

"Brother Cao, please remind them. If it is of no use, then there is no need to bother. Everyone has to live, and it will be troublesome if it delays making money." He believed that he could get out. If the people in Fan Lou paid attention to the formula, although The other party had already been unreasonable once, but it was because of this formula. He didn't believe that the other party had spent so much effort just to get ten ordinary formulas.

Although it's so-so, it's much better than the other party's stir-fried dishes. It's no wonder that some rich people who are used to eating from Fanlou say the food there is pig food.

Cao Lang nodded, and then pointed to the food on the side: "Let's eat first. If anything happens, let Zhou Fei notify me. I'll go and get busy first."

Zhao He cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll thank Brother Cao."

It's probably not Cao Lang. He is being tortured in prison now. There are some things that you have to appreciate, and you can't take it for granted that people do such things.

If I go out, I will always find a way to repay Cao Lang, but since I have to run away, I can only wait and see the opportunity.

……

In the palace, Zhao Zhen had no intention of dealing with government affairs and looked at the memorial in front of him with an indifferent expression.

Zhao He was brought into Kaifeng Mansion because of Fan Lou's intention. It must be to embarrass Zhao He and he might suffer inside...

There are few fathers in the world who can tolerate their sons suffering, even the emperor.

In the distance, Ren Shouzhong came trotting forward.

"The official family, the old slave sent someone to investigate Dou Rushang, Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture..."

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "How's it going?"

Ren Shouzhong said quickly: "The old slave found out that this person was promoted by King Runan and recommended to the officials. He has been an official for three years. His term will end this year and he will be promoted to an official position in the court."

Recommended by King Runan, haha...

Zhao He's unknown smile made Ren Shouzhong couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and then continued: "The old slave found out that when Dou Rushang was the governor of Kaifeng, he hoarded money to promote lower-level officials, and even had some relations with merchants such as Fan Lou. Collusion, a murder case was even wrongly convicted a year ago, and someone was found to replace the crime, and the person behind the scenes was also the Runan Palace..."

Zhao Zhen was not surprised why Ren Shouzhong could detect so much information that he had never heard before, because he was busy with government affairs every day and had no time to care about such nonsense. Otherwise, what else would the prime minister below do?
As long as he wants to check, he can actually find it.

corruption?Promote officials?Collusion between government and business?

Ask the officials in the DPRK who didn't do this, but these people themselves have extremely strong abilities, and Zhao Zhen can't touch them, and he doesn't want to.

The Song Dynasty is rich. As long as you do well and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, who cares about your corruption, as long as you don't go too far.

But as long as the emperor can't stand you one day, I will spit out all the things you embezzled in your early years!

Zhao Zhen said expressionlessly: "Leave this matter to the Political Affairs Hall and give me a satisfactory answer."

Ren Shouzhong quickly accepted the order. How could he not know why His Majesty wanted to check these things by himself? Wasn't it because Dou Rushang somehow offended the officials?
These things are all evidence in the hands of officials and can overthrow you.

If left to the political affairs hall, the lightest case would be exile. This Dou Rushang is really unlucky...

"By the way, someone seems to be beating the sky drum in Kaifeng Mansion today, just because of the theft by that young man..."

Zhao Zhen nodded and then waved his hand: "Go ahead and do it."

"The old slave takes orders."

After Ren Shouzhong left, Zhao He stood up and looked at the palace in the distance.

Guo Huai and Xiwen wanted to know for themselves!

I'm afraid there's nothing they can do!
As a father, he has finally come in handy, and he will not let them down!
