Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 359: Arresting Zhao! (Two in One)

Suddenly, Zhao Butong stood up.

"I'd better go to those two houses and have a look."

Having lived for two hundred years, he didn't want to care too much about these trivial matters, but now he has noticed something wrong, and for the sake of his family he has to confirm it carefully.

It's because among the group of old guys, only a few of them happened to come out.

"Thank you, elders." The head of the family, Zhao Boqi, bowed.

"Before that, you'd better think of a countermeasure. It won't be long before King Cui knows about this matter and he should be held accountable." Zhao Butong glanced at the current head of the family and said.

"No matter how bad the situation is, we have to make a decisive move. Even if it means losing face, we have to keep the family's development momentum intact."

"I understand." Zhao Boqi nodded.

If necessary, he will cut ties with the dead father and son Zhao Liang.

They pleaded guilty, but the matter had nothing to do with the Zhao family. It was all because of the father and son who acted on their own and hid it from everyone.

At the 41st Banner Army’s base, Yang Zhen and two other men met and had tea.

During the days since they came back, the three of them spent most of their time together, feeling somewhat uneasy.

In the past, Xing Tiexin might have poured himself some wine in such occasions, but now he only dared to drink some tea with Yang Zhen and Song Changming, and he didn't drink a drop of alcohol.

It can be seen that the pressure brought to him by Zhao during this period of time is not small. Even if he has a big heart, he has no intention of drinking and indulging himself at this moment.

"Except for the commotion when Zhao first entered the city, how come she has settled down now?" Xing Tiexin said, and suddenly frowned as he looked at the light green tea in the cup. He really couldn't get used to this stuff.

"Thanks to the Marshal. Without him blocking for us, would it be so easy?" Song Changming said casually. He took a sip from the teacup and a light cool feeling spread throughout his body.

Afterwards, he felt that the mental energy consumed in the previous Qi training was gradually replenished.

“Really good tea.”

Song Changming savored the aroma of the tea and knew that the tea he brewed was not ordinary stuff.

Just a few small pieces are worth several medium-grade spirit crystals, and cannot be bought in ordinary places.

This is naturally also a good thing picked out from Zhao Liang’s relics.

Not to mention other things, just the effect of accelerating the recovery of mental power is better than many elixirs with similar effects.

After practicing, it is so relaxing to drink a cup of this tea.

Of course, there are also people who don’t know the value of things, such as Xing Tiexin next to me.

"It's not that simple. These past two days, our incident has caused an uproar in the city. All the major families and forces have been affected one by one." Yang Zhen seemed to have channels to understand the situation and knew a lot of information.

"No way, this matter is about us and the Zhao family," Xing Tiexin couldn't help but say.

"It was before, but not now." Yang Zhen took a sip of tea and exclaimed that it was good tea before continuing.

"Now the Wang family and the Meng family have entered the arena one after another, competing with the Zhao family!"

Xing Tiexin was shocked when he heard this. Without his knowledge, this matter had turned into a dispute among the aristocratic families.

Song Changming was also a little surprised.

What surprised him was that only two days had passed and the Wang family and the Meng family, the two top families, had actually joined forces to deal with the Zhao family.

He knew very well that the Wang family took action because of Wang Tianshuang's efforts.

The Meng family's downfall must have been due to the help of Meng Yuan.

It’s just that the situation is so big that the three of them should have been the center of the vortex of this incident, but now they feel like they are being left out.

There must be something strange about this.

"Perhaps the reason why so many forces were involved is that the focus is no longer on the three of us," Song Changming thought to himself.

It can be judged that those families and forces that are opposed to the Zhao family must have other intentions.

The story of these three people is more like a fuse, leading to the current turbulent situation of the aristocratic family.

This development of the situation is actually a good thing for the three of them.

The Zhao family was being targeted, so naturally they had no energy left to deal with the three of them.

The three of them are safe for the time being.

“The Zhao family really deserves it. It would be best if they were suppressed and never recovered, and were forced to withdraw from the ranks of the top families!” Xing Tiexin clapped his hands and laughed sarcastically.

Hearing this good news, he felt very happy.

He almost died at the hands of Zhao Zun, and he had no good impression of the entire Zhao family. He wished that the Zhao family would decline.

"That's impossible. A top family like the Zhao family that has stood for thousands of years must have many powerful means to protect itself. If it falls due to just one bad incident, it will no longer be a top family." Yang Zhen did not have any hope.

In his opinion, these top families would only be destroyed if they made huge mistakes and were attacked by all the top local forces.

Otherwise, even if you have broken bones, at most you just need to take a break and lie low for a while before you can recover.

This is the case with this incident. Even though the Wang and Meng families joined forces to attack the Zhao family, it was not fatal to the Zhao family, and it was not even a crisis.

At least, that's what Yang Zhen thinks now.

The only thing that confused him was the Wang and Meng families. What were they trying to achieve by confronting the Zhao family so head-on?
What is the real purpose of these two companies?
He thought the same as Song Changming. It was impossible that he did it just to help the three of them out.

They don't have enough face to cause such a big fight between the two families.

These two families must have other purposes.

In the past, as an outsider, he would not have been able to understand such a large-scale family dispute and would have given up thinking about it.

But this time, they were in the game, but had to think about the way out, for fear of accidentally stepping into the fire pit and becoming cannon fodder among the aristocratic families without knowing it.

"That's such a pity." After hearing what Yang Zhen said, Xing Tiexin shook his head.

He wanted the Zhao family to die, but the Zhao family would not really perish as he wished.

"Even if I could see the demise of the Zhao family in my lifetime, that would be good." Xing Tiexin muttered.

Song Changming couldn't help but grin and said, "Why bother to witness it in my lifetime? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to take revenge in person?"

Xing Tiexin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right, Changming, I'm not as good as you!"

Although he had great ambitions, he never thought that he would be able to overthrow the Zhao family, a behemoth, by his own efforts in the future.

After all, the power of one person is always limited, how can it compare to the power of a noble family that is united as one.

But Xing Tiexin still admired Song Changming sincerely for his natural confidence, absolute self-confidence and heroism.

Yang Zhen couldn't help but be infected by what he said and smiled.

It might be impossible for him and Xing Tiexin, but for a gifted guy like Song Changming, nothing is impossible.

Ten years, twenty years, fifty years!

In their lifetime, they may really be able to witness Song Changming single-handedly destroying the aristocratic family!

This is something that others wouldn't even dare to think about.
"No, if that day really comes, I will also do my part!" Yang Zhen left himself a thought.

After that, another three days passed.

For some unknown reason, all the dark materials and evil deeds concerning the Zhao family surfaced, or were dug out by people with ulterior motives, and began to spread in the city.

Even the common people at the bottom started talking about those things.

In this way, no matter what the outcome is, the Zhao family's reputation and the face of the aristocratic family will be completely lost.

As for Zhao's past crimes that were uncovered, minor ones were sent to the government in batches, while major ones were sent to the royal palace.

Even Song Changming, after hearing this, could not help but sigh at how vicious the tactics used by the aristocratic families were.

If you don't move, it's fine. But if you move, it will hit you like a storm, suffocating you. Some of the crimes that were exposed even sounded so outrageous that Song Changming couldn't tell the truth from the false.

Under the "supervision" of Wang and Meng, the Zhao clan members whose crimes were exposed had to be taken away for interrogation by officials from the royal palace or the government.

Among them are many important members of the Zhao family.

this day.

Wang Tianshuang summoned his twelve generals at the garrison barracks.

This naturally includes Song Changming and Yang Zhen.

"Call one thousand soldiers and follow me."

Song Changming was confused and glanced at Yang Zhen who was following behind Wang Tianshuang.

A thousand soldiers is not a large number, and it is obvious that they are not going to cause any big trouble.

But he summoned all the generals, the twelve main generals, and many deputy generals.

It can be said that all the elite and strong men in the army are present, so it seems that this is not a trivial matter.

Wang Tianshuang said nothing, and after selecting his troops, he headed towards the core urban area.

Song Changming's heart moved and he had some guesses.

I'm not going to face Zhao today!

Send troops to Zhao?

This direction seems to be heading towards Zhao Mansion.

Xing Tiexin also realized this immediately and couldn't help but look at Song Changming beside him.

They were a little unsure whether this was the Marshal's own decision or a decision representing the palace.

Sending troops to Zhao Mansion is no small matter no matter how you look at it.

To outsiders who are not aware of the situation, this is a very serious signal.

They would speculate, maybe the Zhao family has committed so many heinous crimes that the royal palace can no longer tolerate it and has made up their minds to completely suppress the Zhao family!
But Song Changming thought that might not be the case.

If they really wanted to suppress the Zhao family, they would not have sent out only a thousand soldiers.

The forty-eight Green Flag Armies, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals, are stationed in the main city area.

The Zhao family is not a small fry that can be bullied by anyone. If they really want to be suppressed, a large army must be sent out instead of just doing small fights like this.

Moreover, launching a war in the main city would also pose a huge threat to the entire Cuibai main city.

God knows whether the entire Cuibai main city will still exist after suppressing the Zhao family.

"There must be another purpose." Song Changming was certain of this.

But no matter how the situation develops, the Zhao family will definitely suffer another heavy blow today.

Soon, Wang Tianshuang brought his men to the outside of Zhao's mansion.

A thousand elite soldiers were behind him, ready for battle and full of murderous intent.

A steward of the Zhao family hurried out of the mansion, bowed in a slightly flustered manner, and asked cautiously.

"Marshal, what is this for?"

Wang Tianshuang did not answer with a cold face. The small flag owner Wang Shifu at the side stepped forward and spread out an official document.

"The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Boqi, is suspected of colluding with the demon tribe, murdering military generals, and many other crimes. The palace has ordered that the head of the Zhao family be brought to stand trial!"

Every word Wang Shifu spoke was cold and hard, leaving no room for doubt.

The roaring voice was not meant for the Zhao family steward in front of him, but for everyone in the Zhao mansion to hear.

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and almost everyone inside and outside the Zhao Mansion heard it clearly.

A meeting hall in Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Boqi's face looked extremely ugly, and his hands were clenched white inside his wide sleeves.

The air pressure in the entire meeting hall suddenly dropped to freezing point.

"Bastard!" Zhao Boqi couldn't help but growl, veins popping out on his forehead.

It was obvious that he was trying his best to control his temper, but he was still annoyed by the series of things that happened these days.

Today, the other party even came to cause trouble and provoked us!

"What on earth is Wang Tianshuang trying to do?" A senior executive of the Zhao family nearby shouted angrily.

Outside the mansion, Wang Tianshuang saw that there was no movement at the gate and did not wait any longer.

With a wave of his hand, a thousand elite soldiers were about to break through the door and rush in.

They were arresting people on orders from the palace, and they were fearless. Anyone who dared to stop them would only be punished more severely.

At the gate of the mansion, a group of household guards and Zhao clan members who had gathered were at a loss when they saw the elite soldiers trying to break in.

"This, this is what to do."

"Wait!" Seeing the elite soldiers entering, there was a sudden explosion, which made their eardrums hurt and their heads buzz.

Even some generals turned pale and could not stand steadily.

Song Changming looked towards the mansion gate and saw that the Zhao family guards who were blocking the gate quickly separated into two sides and a group of people walked out from them.

The one at the head was the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Boqi.

"Give me the official document." Zhao Boqi had a cold face and stretched out his hand to grab it without waiting for Wang Shifu to react.

The official document was seized by Zhao Boqi.

After a quick glance, he confirmed that this was indeed the arrest warrant from the palace.

But he also knew very well that behind this arrest warrant was actually the result of Zhao’s failed game!
"Wang Tianshuang, good trick. Lead the way." Zhao Boqi said calmly. He had no other choice.

No matter how powerful he, the head of the Zhao family, is, he cannot openly challenge the majesty of the palace at this moment, otherwise the situation of the Zhao family will only become more unfavorable.

Wang Tianshuang smiled slightly and said nothing more.

He had expected Zhao Boqi to be flexible. Although the arrest of the head of the Zhao family was a heavy blow to his prestige and that of the entire Zhao family, it was better than disobeying orders.

Of course, he would not recognize any of the crimes committed against him.

And he was also very clear that Wang Tianshuang was just bluffing to disgust him.

Among the children of aristocratic families, there is no one who has not had blood on his hands and has done extraordinary things.

This is normal.

He was also sure of one thing, that is, all the shameful things he had done in the past had left no trace or evidence.

Although it is unclear how Wang Tianshuang found out these things, it is impossible for any evidence related to him to exist!

I think Wang Tianshuang's conclusion is just based on hearsay and his own speculation.

When he is acquitted, we will definitely turn the tables on him!
While Zhao Boqi was thinking about it, suddenly another troop came from the other side of the road and also blocked outside Zhao's mansion.

Song Changming looked over and was somewhat surprised. Standing next to the commander-in-chief was none other than Meng Yuan, who had promised to help him in Fengcheng.

Meng Yuan took two steps forward and took out a stack of official documents.

"Zhao Qing, Zhao Dongshan, Zhao." He first reported a series of names of Zhao clan members, and then continued.

"You have committed many crimes. The palace has issued an order to arrest and detain you. One by one, you are awaiting trial!"
