The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 270 The Dust Settles
Zhao Gou shouted impatiently: "Do you know it or not?"

"I..." Wang Bo was stunned by Zhao Gou's momentum, and replied hesitantly.

"Do you know it or not?" Zhao Gou pressed on step by step, looking at Wang Bo expressionlessly.

"Know...know!"

"It's not good!" Wang Fu secretly cried anxiously, and hurriedly shouted: "Master Yushi is probably a bit aggressive by doing this!"

Wang Bo raised his head abruptly, stared at Wang Fu in a daze, and wanted to say hello but was stopped by Wang Fu's eyes.Then, Wang Fu signaled him not to worry. Wang Bo, who had been with him for many years, felt at ease. He knew that there were some things he should not say, and his panicked eyes immediately calmed down.

Zhao Gou turned his head and shouted mercilessly: "I'm afraid Wang Xiang has overstepped the limit! Zhao is interrogating, when will it be your turn to intervene!"

Wang Fu secretly hated, his face flushed with anger, and he said hastily: "You..."

"Noisy!" Zhao Gouyi was not afraid, and said in a serious voice: "Zhao is interrogating. Although you are the prime minister, you have no right to intervene in the affairs of the Overwatch Council; now that the emperor is present, you stop talking for no reason, and put the emperor on the throne." where?"

Wang Fu glanced at Zhao Ji and saw Zhao Ji's gloomy face, looking at him intently; in an instant, Wang Fu knew that his behavior was a little too aggressive, and he was sweating coldly, feeling extremely embarrassed.However, Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, did not say anything, but gave Wang Fu a hard look, and motioned him to stand aside and listen quietly; Wang Bo gave him a look.

Zhao Gou knew that Wang Bo was no longer flustered, and there would be no results if he continued to interrogate him. Instead, he looked at Wang Ba and growled, "You said you knew this person before, but what did you know?"

"Caomin didn't know this guy at first, but Wang Steward gave him a picture to know him." Wang Ba didn't know Wang Fu, so he had to tell the truth under Zhao Gou's arrogance.

"Give you a picture? What is it for?"

"Steward Wang said that this person offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and asked the grass-roots people to deal with him. Afterwards, he promised to give the grass-roots people 100 taels."

"Then you got 100 taels?"

"Got... got it!"

"But he is still alive, why do you still get 100 taels from Steward Wang?"

"Although I have learned some kung fu, I am also a three-legged cat. I just know some friends from the rivers and lakes. I wanted them to come forward to help. After thinking about 100 taels, I didn't ask the friends from the rivers and lakes to help. Instead, I did it myself. I just didn't expect him to go out of the city. At that time, if I wanted to leave at that time, I would definitely not come back, so I told Steward Wang afterwards that he had succeeded, and he gave Caomin 100 taels without checking."

Zhao Gou turned his head again, looked at Zhang Sheng, and asked straight to the point: "You wrote such a poem, why did you leave Bianjing afterwards? Where are you going to return?"

"Cao Min took twelve gold ingots and decided to return to the mountain to rebuild a tomb for his master." Zhang Sheng answered truthfully.

Zhao Gou praised: "A person who knows how to repay kindness has some conscience!"

Before Zhang Sheng mentioned his master, everyone could see that Zhang Sheng respected his master very much.Both of his parents died since he was a child, he was brought up by his master, and he was also educated by his master.When the master passed away, he was buried in a hasty manner. There was no grave, not even a tombstone. It was just piled up of stones. The villagers in the mountain helped together, and he alone was helpless.

So, Zhang Sheng got ten taels of gold, which he had never seen in his life. He was thinking about his master, so he thought of going back directly. Anyway, the things he explained were done, and there was nothing to do with him.However, on the way back, he was caught by Wang Yun and escorted directly to the hall. This is why he didn't have any hostility or precautions towards Wang Fu, Wang Steward and others. From the beginning to the end, he didn't know that he treated him like a guest of honor. Wang Fu will send someone to kill him, these have overturned his thoughts, secretly vowed never to set foot in Bianjing in the future, it is too dangerous here.

Zhao Ji nodded appreciatively. Zhang Sheng in front of him is really not smart, but he has indeed seen his heart for his master, and he can't pretend, thinking silently: "This person is also a loyal and filial person, which is not bad!"

"No wonder I didn't see anyone afterwards!" Wang Fu thought gloomily.

He was a little worried about Wang Ba's actions, so he sent some people to investigate secretly. It was true that he did not see Zhang Sheng, so he did not continue to question him.Now that the matter was done, it had to be done seamlessly, and it was something Wang Fu had never thought of, so he secretly glared at Wang Bo.If he hadn't found such a person, how could today's matter happen.

Zhao Gou said indifferently: "Butler Wang, why did you send someone to assassinate Zhang Sheng? Zhang Sheng was originally an unknown person. Who did he offend and asked you to pay for and kill him? From Zhao's point of view, I'm afraid it's murder to silence! Now truthfully speaking, Zhao can still ask the emperor to spare you, if not, you must be clear about the crime of murder!"

Steward Wang was speechless when he was forced to question him. Everything he said was wrong, and he was powerless to defend himself.If it is said that all the responsibilities are blocked on the body, it is inconsistent with what Wang Ba said, and he clearly mentioned offending the big man; if it is said that all this was done by Zhao Gou, it is even more nonsense. Knowing this well, Steward Wang could only remain silent after much deliberation.

"Don't think it's okay if you keep silent, I think it's better to tell the truth." Zhao Gou said lightly, and gave Wang Yun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, another look.

Wang Yun nodded understandingly, bowed and said: "Qizou the emperor, my minister immediately sent someone to capture the two of them after receiving the news from Lord Yushi. At that time, Wang Ba wanted to go out of the city but was captured by the minister. I seized 100 taels of silver notes on my body, with official seals stamped on them."

"Besides, I imprisoned the two of them together, and sent people to hide behind to listen to their previous conversation. This is the content of their previous conversation. Please read it, Your Majesty!"

"Submit it!" Song Huizong unwrapped the physical evidence in a hurry, and with the things discussed above, he glanced at Wang Fu coldly, and said coldly: "Look at your good deeds, and don't tell them at this time Is it true?"

Wang Fu was directly hit by the physical evidence, and he didn't dare to move an inch. He didn't understand that Song Huizong's face changed suddenly after seeing the above content, and he looked at himself with a gloomy face angrily.When he thought about it, even if Wang Bo and Wang Ba were whispering, they would not mention him. Out of curiosity, he picked up the physical evidence, looked at it carefully, his hands trembled, his body was cold, and he was shivering , muttering with blank eyes: "It's over! It's over! Everything is over!..."

"Wang Fu, you are guilty!" Zhao Ji shouted angrily, unable to hide his anger.

Wang Fu drooped his head and replied dejectedly: "I am guilty!"

Zhao Ji said angrily: "You are really brave enough to spread rumors and maliciously frame the county king. Do you know that this is a crime of treason!"

"The minister is guilty!" At this point, Wang Fu was powerless to quibble, so he had to bow his head and plead guilty. Facing the emperor's anger, he glanced at Wang Bo, Wang Ba, and Zhang Sheng, who were at a loss, and shook his head helplessly. Like ashes, he sighed secretly: "If a word is wrong, the whole game will be lost! Alas!..."
