King of Song

Chapter 109 Chapter [-]

At night, Chen Qi, the county magistrate of Qiantang, hurried into the palace of the prince of Yuhang County with a sad face, like a boudoir who complained about a woman.

Chen County Magistrate is also familiar with the way, and was directly led to Zhao Zongyong's study room, where only the father and son of Yuhang County were there.

"I've seen the prince!" Chen Qi was very polite and respectful in front of Tianhuang's aristocratic Prince Yuhang, but from the moment he entered the door, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Zhao Zongyong nodded and said: "Magistrate Chen, you are welcome! During the time when the king is away, some things are troublesome!"

"It's my honor to share the worries of the lord. I don't know why the lord asked the officials to come here late at night?" Chen Qi was guessing, Zhao Zongyong came to him overnight, so it was not just because he hadn't seen him for a long time and praised himself for a few words, right?

Zhao Zongyong said: "Naturally there is something important to come to you. I want to tell you that merchants from Jingnan South Road and Jiangnan West Road have arrived!"

"Ah? What does the lord mean?" Chen Qi was startled immediately, and he understood about half of it. He still inquired in a low voice, and at the same time, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"You also know that it's not easy for us to build this signboard, so we can't destroy it ourselves!" Zhao Zongyong sighed softly, expressing his attitude.

Even though he had already guessed it, Chen Qi was still shocked, and hurriedly said: "Now is an extraordinary time, the case of Fangjia Village is getting more and more attention, Lin Zhao is watching from the side, Su Shi and Shen Kuo are coming soon..."

Zhao Zhongye said in a deep voice, "Magistrate Chen is afraid?"

Chen Qi was indeed a little scared, but naturally he couldn't admit it, and said: "That's not true, it's just that the boat can be sailed carefully for thousands of years, whether you should avoid the limelight and act carefully, please think twice, my lord."

"But if the delivery is delayed, this year's business will be over. Will anyone trust us in the future? It is rare to establish a reputation and it will be hit hard." Zhao Zhongye is obviously very unwilling.

Although Zhao Zongyong didn't make a clear statement, he seemed to agree with it from his expression.

crazy!

Chen Qi's immediate reaction was exactly like this, Zhao Zongyong and his son are a typical example of wanting money rather than life!

Right now, the most sensitive thing on Liangzhe Road is the word "salt". The emperor is watching closely, and several cronies are watching Hangzhou. How dare they commit crimes against the wind?You have made a lot of money in the past few years, are you still unwilling to stop?

However, Zhao Zongyong's reason for not being afraid, after all, is the emperor's uncle, Taizong's descendants, royal nobles, even if a crime occurs, it will not cause any major incidents, and it is relatively safe.

As for himself, although the country has a tradition of not killing scholar-bureaucrats, if he commits a shocking crime, it is still unknown what will happen after Longyan is furious.Even if he was sentenced to exile on an island in the South China Sea, life would be worse than death!

How could Chen Qi not be afraid?Since the day Lin Zhao came to Hangzhou, he has been in a state of unrest in his heart and has been restless.Especially the inexplicable murder case in Fangjia Village a few days ago brought back memories of the past, making it even more difficult to sleep at night.

The more money he earns, the more nightmares he will have. To be honest, Chen Qi is eager to stop as soon as possible.

But Zhao Zongyong and his son didn't intend to withdraw at all!Can you walk by yourself?It's easy to get on a pirate ship and it's hard to get off a thief ship. It's the same truth through the ages!

There is nothing to do, now that Zhao Zongyong and his son are going to commit crimes against the wind, it is light to be frightened.

"The reputation that has been accumulated over the years cannot be destroyed at once!" Zhao Zongyong sighed softly, showing his attitude.It is an understatement, but in Chen Qi's heart, it is undoubtedly a huge stone falling from the sky, and he is almost out of breath.

"Isn't the prince worried about safety?" Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in a low voice, he wanted to know why Zhao Zongyong was so sure.Is it arrogance, or is there a perfect plan?This will be an important criterion for his judgment, maybe this will give him some peace of mind!
The arrival of merchants means that the white sea salt will be transformed into a lot of gold and silver.It is true that Zhao Zongyong loves money. He used to collect money to support his thirteenth brother Zhao Zongshi's ascension to the crown prince.

Later, it was because my title was lower than other brothers, and I felt unbalanced.Maybe only by making a lot of money can I feel more comfortable and fill up the sense of loss in my heart.

Over time, subtle changes have taken place in the psychology.In the end, even Zhao Zongyong himself didn't know why he had such a deep love for money.

It is also for this reason that it is difficult for him to give up these merchants, and he is even more afraid of ruining his own golden signboard, so that he dares to take risks under the eyes of the emperor.Of course, he is not aimless, he is bold, and there is a reason for daring to do so.

Until now, Zhao Zongyong still didn't think that the emperor's nephew dared to do anything to him. Maybe the emperor was dissatisfied, but at most it was just a warning.Big deal, this year's salt tax should be more for his kid.

otherwise……

More than 20 lords of Prince Pu's Mansion had made great efforts to ascend the throne for his old father, and such kindness and revenge inevitably chilled the hearts of the uncles.Even though that kid is the emperor, he doesn't dare to risk the dissatisfaction of the world, does he?

Pu Wang's lineage is his most favorable support, and the stupid thing of breaking his own arm will not happen.

What's more, there is the Empress Dowager Gao who sits firmly in the harem. This woman is not simple, at least she will be more rational.

The letter to the empress dowager had already been sent to Bianjing, so Zhao Zongyong was bold and didn't feel it was dangerous.It is precisely because of this that he has the confidence to commit crimes against the wind!

Seeing that Zhao Zongyong was so sure and confident, Chen Qi was relieved a lot, but his heart was still beating drums and trembling.

Zhao Zhongye ordered: "According to the usual rules in the past, County Magistrate Chen prepares the goods!"

"It's not difficult to prepare the goods, but the key is how to transport them?" Chen Qi said: "No matter what you do, you have to avoid everyone's sight. Especially
Especially those sent by the government. "

"You don't have to worry about this, I will figure out a solution!" Zhao Zongyong seemed to have a plan in his mind, calmly picked up the teacup, and drank it down in one gulp.Then he asked again: "By the way, how did the investigation of that case go?"

"I've been procrastinating, but once the new general judge arrives, he will definitely be unable to hold back. Sooner or later, Tang Qingyuan will be implicated." Chen Qi replied in a low voice. This was the biggest source of his troubles.

Zhao Zongyong said: "Don't you think it's strange what happened? Didn't you think to find out who was behind the design?"

Chen Qi shook his head and said, "This subordinate made a mistake, so I'll start it when I get back."

"By the way, where is the new Su Tong judge now?" Zhao Zongyong seemed to ask casually.

"When I was in Suzhou, there was a flood and it was delayed for a few days. I guess I can arrive in a few days!"

"Well, I see, Su Zizhan is famous all over the world, when will this king cleanse him up, hum!" Zhao Zongyong's expression was sullen, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The news that Su Shi was serving as the general judge in Hangzhou had already spread, but he himself had been missing. After waiting for almost a month, the long-awaited news came out.

Received the news that Su Tongsan was coming soon, officials from all walks of life in Hangzhou, as well as many scholars and celebrities rushed to the dock to greet him.Lin Zhao, who is the promotion officer, naturally also went. The demeanor of the great talent of Su is really exciting!
