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

Chapter 41 Dou Rushang was arrested?

Seeing Cao Lang, Zhao He immediately hinted at Zhou Fei. After all, he was the one who poached him. This kind of thing makes people feel embarrassed.

Zhou Fei also understood it without saying a word.

Seeing that both of them didn't say a word, Cao Lang was a little confused, but he didn't say much.

"The master called me over today and said he wanted to hear your case."

"What Fan Lou means is that as long as you hand over all the stolen formulas, they can forget about it and let you leave here."

After saying that, Cao Lang said with curiosity on his face: "What do you think?"

Zhao He patted his thigh, and the effect came out. Sure enough, he still cared about the formula in his hand!

Zhou Fei looked at Zhao He with some surprise. He actually thought of a way to get out. Although he couldn't understand Zhao He's operations during this period, he knew that these operations were useful.

Zhao He immediately smiled and said: "Of course I have to hand over the formula. As long as I can get out, everything will be easy."

Cao Lang nodded slightly. Zhao He could go out on his own from here, which already showed his grasp of human nature. With just one person, he could make Fan Lou and even the governor of Kaifeng relent. Civil war officials could also do this. It is already extremely difficult to achieve this.

It's just that Zhao He will probably run away once he leaves Zuo Sili Prison. He probably can't stay in this kind of place.

I haven't fully seen his background yet...

Thinking of this, Cao Lang couldn't help but wonder if Zhao He had no background. After all, he hadn't taken action for so long. Could it be that he was afraid of the forces behind the Runan Palace?
In this case, it would be much less interesting.

Zhao He smiled and said: "Can this matter be guaranteed? If I hand over the formula, can I really get out?"

Cao Lang nodded and said: "What the Palace Master probably means is that as long as you hand over the formula, you will be allowed to leave. I will guarantee this, and I can guarantee it."

In official circles, there is definitely no way to explain it clearly. After all, this kind of bullying of the people is too obvious to save face. Therefore, it is enough to use another way of saying it, with the right meaning, as long as it can be understood by people.

Obviously, the Kaifeng governor is not a simple role.

Zhao He immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and without saying a word, he wrote down all the cooking recipes and handed them to Cao Lang.

Holding the formula, Cao Lang felt a little emotional. He originally wanted to see Zhao He's operations more, but now for Zhao He, a powerless civilian, it is already a great blessing to be able to leave well.

The best result...?

Cao Lang murmured and left immediately.

Zhao He naturally had a plan in mind.

You want to make money by cooking, right? This cooking recipe will be known to everyone after I go out. Let’s see if you can make money then!
If he doesn't let himself have an easy time, Zhao He will naturally not let him have an easy time either!

In the afternoon of that day, the Kaifeng governor directly heard the case.

It was also the first time for Zhao He to see the Kaifeng Governor. He was a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. His eyes were full of contempt for the lower-ranking people. He even looked down upon the people in Fanlou.

After all, he was just a businessman, and the only one who could talk to Dou Rushang was Jiang Yuanshan who came out of Runan Palace.

If it were not for the kindness of the Runan Palace, Dou Rushang would not do such a stupid thing, which would easily smear himself.

In the public court, Dou Rushang sat as straight as a pine tree, holding a placard in his hand and slapping it hard.

"Since you, Fan Lou, are willing to forgive Zhao He, and Zhao He has also suffered a lot in prison during this period, then the matter will be reconciled according to your words!"

The steward from Fan Tower quickly kowtowed and thanked him: "The master of the palace is wise!"

Zhao Heze didn't even look at Dou Rushang and asked him to kowtow. Is he worthy?
Dou Rushang obviously didn't feel anything unusual about Zhao He's behavior of not kowtowing. After all, a small businessman was like an ant in his eyes, and he also wished that this matter would be over soon.

Cao Lang and Xia Hong on the side had different expressions.

Xia Hong frowned, he couldn't believe that Zhao He was really released. He had obviously offended a big shot, but he was able to walk out of Zuo Sili Prison unharmed.

There must be Cao Lang operating among them, this damn guy...

Xia Hong didn't have a good impression of Zhao He, because Zhao He had been slapped in the face over and over again, almost losing all his face. After Zhao He went out, he would naturally not let him go.

On Cao Lang's side, there was some regret.It's a pity that I didn't see what I wanted to see.

Maybe after this meeting, there will be far fewer opportunities to meet in the future.

Facing the officialdom in Bianjing, no matter how talented Zhao He is, he probably has no interest in court...

Just as Dou Rushang was about to pronounce the sentence, a group of people suddenly came outside the house.

The person at the head was none other than the Chief Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and all the people following behind him were officers and soldiers.

"Where is Yin Dou Ru of Kaifeng Prefecture?"

After Dou Rushang heard this, he immediately stood up and walked out of the door. It was probably not a trivial matter for such a fight.

It was indeed as he thought, it was really no small matter...

"Dou Rushang, the governor of Kaifeng, insulted the laws of the Song Dynasty, colluded with officials and businessmen to make huge profits, and oppressed the people. Now he has been removed from his official position and demoted to a commoner. His family property was confiscated and he is imprisoned in a prison!"

"One day later, the three courts will interrogate!"

"Take it!"

When Dou Rushang heard this, he was still a little confused. How could he be demoted to a commoner and have his house ransacked...

Did you get up sharply today, or did you step up your left leg when you entered the door today?

dreaming...

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers took off his black gauze hat and official uniform that Dou Rushang came to his senses from his shock, and his face turned full of horror.

"Impossible! Who gave this order? When did I do these things? You wronged me!"

The head of the Ministry of Personnel sneered and took out the evidence, which seemed to be some evidence of accepting bribes, and there was no room for Dou Rushang to make any excuses.

At this moment, Dou Rushang realized what a big mistake he had made by agreeing to Fan Lou's request!

Behind him is the Runan Palace. If he wants to be exiled, there must be someone behind him who wants to take him.

There is no doubt that the only person who can be more powerful than the Runan Palace is the official family!

Because of this incident, he was actually arrested by the officials?
Dou Rushang struggled desperately and kept shouting: "I want to see the officials and redress my grievances. This is all a false accusation..."

If others are doing these things, why should I be punished?

This is obviously because I offended someone!
Seeing that Dou Rushang was so ignorant, the officer directly ordered the officers and soldiers to take action. One of them picked up a stick and swung it directly on Dou Rushang's leg.

"what!"

Dou Rushang screamed, the severe pain coupled with the huge psychological gap actually caused him to faint.

"take away!"

At this time, everyone present, including Zhao He and Fan Lou's stewards, including Xia Hong and Cao Lang, were all stunned.

The person with the greatest psychological fluctuations was Xia Hong.

He remembered that he had threatened Cao Lang before, and Zhao He had offended someone he shouldn't have.

At that time, Cao Lang just smiled and said that it was not necessarily true.

He was astonished in his heart. Who else could take over Kaifeng Prefecture directly except the government officials' subordinates from the Political Hall?

Cao Lang, on the other hand, stared blankly at Zhao He, who also looked stunned.

My heart gradually changed from shock to surprise, even excitement.

It’s not in vain that I’ve put so much effort into you during this period, I finally see who is behind you!
Who else could be bigger than Runan Palace, and even directly take away his people regardless of the existence of Runan Palace?

In the entire Song Dynasty, the official family covered the sky with one hand!
