Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Different? What's the difference?" Defang asked

"It is said that Mr. Zhang's mansion has a lot of precious and famous artifacts, gold and silver treasures are too numerous to list, and Mr. Zhang is especially lustful. He even took three concubines in a month, but no one has seen these women again."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Defang thought for a while, "Since it's just heard, don't believe it all. It seems that Mr. Zhang has given us more things to do."

In the next few days, Defang came to the library under the pretext of checking the archives in the city, and consulted a large number of cases with Nangong Wen, and found the file records of the Li family case. After detailed inspection, many loopholes were found. On the 10th, Defang and Nangongwen took the documents out several times, and sent five military officers from the palace to follow Zhang Mingfeng's whereabouts in turn.

Two days later, the capital city also came for imperial approval, and the construction of Bajiaobing Town officially started. Defang inspected the construction of the city during the day, and discussed the case with Nangongwen at night

"Tomorrow the three brothers of the Li family will be executed. Is there any way to save them?"

Nan Gongwen thought for a while and replied, "Currently the repair of the city requires manpower, so I borrow prisoners from Zhang Mingfeng."

"Borrow prison?" Defang thought for a while, "It's a way, that's the only way."

The next day, Zhang Mingfeng was about to escort the Li family brothers to the execution ground, but Defang arrived before leaving the mansion, and Defang stepped forward and said, "Master Zhang, where are you taking people with you?"

Zhang Mingfeng was taken aback, "My lord, why are you here? The official is about to perform official duties."

"Oh?" Defang looked at the three brothers behind him, "This is?"

"Go back to the lord, this is a death row prisoner, and he is going to the execution ground for execution," Zhang Mingfeng said

"Death row? Master Zhang, it happens that the king has something to discuss with you," Defang said

"Now?"

"Yes, at this time," Defang walked in front of the three brothers, "the current progress of repairing the city has not reached the expected daily standard, and it will take time to recruit craftsmen again."

For a period of time, the king intends to escort the prisoners in the prison to "

Zhang Mingfeng was startled, "My lord, these people are all repeat offenders, I'm afraid there will be trouble"

Defang turned around, "Master Zhang is worried, but this king has already mentioned to General Tong that he will let the soldiers involved in the repair guard and connect them with iron chains. There will be no problem. This king is here to bring They're going." At this moment, the royal guards lined up in two rows.

Zhang Mingfeng saw that Defang had to take someone away, but he didn't want to let the Li family brothers go, so he said, "My lord, these three people are wanted by the imperial court. If they run away, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the lower officials to explain."

Defang looked at Zhang Mingfeng, "So, Mr. Zhang doesn't believe me and General Tong anymore?"

Zhang Mingfeng was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I don't dare, my lord misunderstood, what I mean is... my lord, these three people my lord must also want to kill them!"

As soon as Defang heard it, she knew that Zhang Mingfeng was going to tell the story of the year. Fortunately, she learned something from Nan Gongwen last night, otherwise she would be really passive today, so she asked, "This king wants to kill them? What does Mr. Zhang mean by this?" "

Zhang Mingfeng's expression became cautious, and he approached Defang and said, "My lord, this Li family hid tributes privately two years ago, forged official silver, and secretly communicated with the enemy. King, make the county king commit suicide."

As soon as Defang heard her brother's title, she felt a dull pain in her heart, but now she wanted to find out the truth, so she pretended to be surprised, "What! The Li family is secretly collaborating with the enemy?" Defang walked quickly in front of the three brothers, glaring at the three of them, "So It's your Li family who indirectly killed my elder brother King Wei!"
