Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Taizong was very satisfied with the affairs of Changping warehouse, and because of Sun Ding'an's case, there was a large amount of confiscated silver taels in the treasury for no reason, and the surplus grain seemed to come for nothing. Taizong didn't care about Sun Anding's affairs. Silver taels are enough to make him feel good. Taizong looked at Defang, "My nephew is indeed my vassal, and the establishment of Changping warehouse is very well done, and I am very pleased."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation," Defang said.

Throughout the early court, Emperor Taizong praised Defang happily, which made Defang feel very uncomfortable, because the people behind the scenes were not caught, and he was very depressed. Taizong did not listen to a word of Defang's praise. At the gate of the palace, I saw Wang Jien talking to the servant with an unhappy face. I took a closer look and found that the servant was the person he and Kou Zhun had met that day. Walking by, unexpectedly Wang Jien saw Defang and said, "My lord is really powerful. He collected the surplus grain and added silver taels to the treasury. It really kills two birds with one stone."

Defang turned her head and glared at Wang Jien, "Wang Jien! Don't think that the lonely king doesn't know what you're doing."

"What does the lord mean by this?" Wang Ji'en asked

"What do you mean?" Defang pointed at the servant and said, "This man! The lonely king saw him and Sun Ding'an talking in front of the granary with his own eyes."

Wang Jien was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and glared at Jia Ding, who quickly lowered his head

Seeing this, Defang continued, "He, a little servant, can have such a close relationship with the owner of the shop involved, the person behind this." Defang didn't name her, but just stared straight at Wang Jien.

Wang Jien avoided Defang's sight and said, "My lord, this must be a misunderstanding. How could the servant of the lower official have any relationship with the shop owner involved in the case? My lord must have misunderstood the person."

"No way?" At this time Kou Zhun came over, "My lord was wrong, so could I, Kou, be wrong too?"

Wang Jien looked at Kou Zhun, "What does Mr. Kou mean?"

"That day Kou and the prince saw this person together, including Sun Ding'an, and how many others were there?"

Wang Jien's expression turned pale immediately, "What? Don't you suspect that I did it? Then go and sue me!"

"Sue you? Kou is too lazy to sue you." Kou Zhun looked at Defang, "Anyway, some people didn't get the money, and they lost their money. Let's feel bad."

Defang looked at Kou Zhun and thought about it. Wang Jien didn't get any money, and the rest of the food was collected, so he said, "Master Kou said that Sun Ding'an is indeed dead, and the people behind the scenes have suffered a lot." Defang smiled, "The lonely king is too lazy to pursue this matter."

Wang Jien was panting heavily, Defang looked at Wang Jien and said, "Eunuch Wang, you'd better restrain yourself, if you are caught by the lonely king in the future, I won't let you go!"

Wang Jien saw that he couldn't get a bargain, and he had suffered a heavy loss, so he walked away angrily.

Defang looked at Wang Jien's back and said, "Such a traitor, the lonely king can't wait to beat him to death with a single blow!"

"My lord calm down, so what if we catch him this time?"

"What do you mean?" Defang was puzzled

"Wang Jien is a person who has made meritorious service for His Majesty. Even if he did this, I believe His Majesty will not punish him severely."

Hearing this, Defang suddenly thought of the night when Taizu passed away, Wang Jien was in charge of the affairs of the inner palace, and when she thought of Empress Song still living in the palace, her heart ached.

Seeing this, Kou Zhun stepped forward to help him, "My lord, what's the matter with you?"

Defang slowed down and shook her hand, "It's nothing, let's go back"

"My lord, take care," Kou Zhun said

Defang turned to look at Kou Zhun, and suddenly said, "Master Kou, with you here, at least the court will be better."

Kou Zhun froze for a moment, then smiled, "Thank you, my lord!"
