The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1723 Suspect Zhao Lin continued
"The prince didn't make any rebuttals, but it can be seen that he is not convinced. There is no way to refute it because there is evidence for everything, and that Guanshi Yang suddenly rebelled. Why didn't he go to the government to report it before, but he just chose to be here. when?"

Zhao Pu still has doubts. If Zhao Lin really did this, how could he put the tax money in the underground treasury of the palace, and there are still many people in the palace who know about it, so it cannot be kept secret just because of this. I don't know what Zhao Lin was thinking, but he would do this.

Guanshi Yang is not Zhao Lin's confidant, Zhao Xu has already confirmed this, but he knows about Zhao Lin's murder, and he has produced a lot of evidence, which makes Zhao Lin speechless, and it is this evidence that The fatal blow made Zhao Lin unable to refute.

"It's unreasonable, but now that the tax bank has been found, the tax bank case has been solved for the time being, and the case of killing the soldiers has also been proved to be done by Zhao Lin, so there is no need for us to make extra troubles, let's write the memorial as it is."

Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Xu's face with a little excitement, Zhao Pu thoughtfully, and soon went out, and Chu Zhaofu was also here to hear some words from Zhao Xusu.

"My lord Zhao, what does your Highness mean? Even we know that there is something wrong with it. Although the evidence is there, there are loopholes, but His Highness still wants us to report the actual situation here to the court. This is not in line with His Highness's usual style. ah."

Chu Zhaofu was also full of question marks. They really didn't understand what Zhao Xu was doing this time.

"Lord Chu, let's sit down and have a good chat after I finish my business. We haven't had a good talk together for many years. I'll be the host tonight, just the two of us." Zhao Pu didn't answer his question directly. , just said to sit down at night.

They are friends, and they both rose up during Zhao Kuangyin's ascension to the throne, but now Zhao Pu is a high-ranking official, and although Chu Zhaofu is not as good as him, he is still a big member of the party.

"Lord Zhao, you are being polite. When I come to Jinling, I can barely be regarded as a half-landlord. I should be the host."

Chu Zhaofu said hastily that the two of them argued for a while, but in the end Chu Zhaofu persisted to the end. They were in the same private room at night, and there were only two of them.

"Zeping, we haven't sat alone like this for ten years. Today just happens to be an opportunity. Fortunately, the case has been solved, otherwise we would not have the opportunity to sit here." Chu Zhaofu also has a good relationship with Zhao Pu in private , be regarded as brothers.

"Yeah, it's rare to see each other. I used to sharpen my head and enter the official career. Now we can be regarded as successful and famous, but we don't have that kind of leisurely life together. Alas, if you lose, you will gain." Zhao Pu Also sighed.

In the past, I was downcast and didn't even have any fame, but at that time I was very happy, and finally followed Zhao Kuangyin's promotion step by step. Now that I am a prime minister, the lives of ordinary people are gone.

"Yes, if we are not in the position, we will not plan for the government. Now a small mistake of ours may bring unexpected disasters to many people. It is precisely because of this that we must try our best to be a good official and let the people live in peace Live a good life, be worthy of the common people, and be worthy of the court." Chu Zhaofu suddenly burst into arrogance, which was very contagious.

"You are still the same as before. I think the current Jinling City is good. A large part of it is your credit. I recommended you to come here to be the prefect. Today, it seems that you have not lived up to His Majesty's trust."

Zhao Pu also laughed,

"I really have to thank Brother Zeping for this matter. This Jinling was the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the past, and it is more important than other prefectures. I can come here because of the imperial court's attention, and more because of Brother Zeping's recommendation. Come, let me offer a toast to Brother Zeping."

After three rounds of cooking, the two of them stopped temporarily, and Zhao Puxian said: "Today you asked why your highness, brother, knew that there was something strange about this case, but still reported it to the court and imprisoned the king of Tang, right? "

"Yes, even we can see that there is something wrong with this case. Your Highness, you and I also understand that he is so strict on weekdays, but why is he so hasty in this matter?" Chu Zhaofu asked Zhao Pu today. It was a question, but Zhao Pu didn't answer it, and now there were only the two of them here, so they didn't have any scruples.

"Hehe, it seems that Brother Chu, you have been away from the center for too long. Have you really forgotten some things? Don't forget that His Highness is the Crown Prince, and King Tang is also His Majesty's son. Maybe the Crown Prince feels a sense of crisis."

When Zhao Pu said this, he stopped talking and just paid attention to the fine wine in front of him. Chu Zhaofu frowned, but he was also a smart person. It turned out that His Royal Highness was afraid of his brother.

"These things are normal in history. Although the crown prince's position is very stable now, no one can guarantee that there will be accidents in the middle. Our highness the crown prince has to think about the future now."

Zhao Pu's words were really heart-to-heart. If Zhao Xu heard it, he would be overwhelmed, but there were no other people here, and Zhao Pu also drank alcohol, so he was so reckless.

"Brother Zeping be careful, today we two finally met in private, let's have a good time, don't worry about these, let's continue." Chu Zhaofu and Zhao Pu began to drink again .

And Zhao Xu didn't rest at this time. He was talking in Rang's ear alone, and then stood respectfully under Zhao Xu. After hearing this, Zhao Xu had a wry smile on his face.

"Hehe, Zhao Pu is too smart. He thinks he can guess what's on my mind, but he really guessed wrong this time. Let them continue to think that way. By the way, they are still drinking now, and have nothing else to do. thing?"

"Yes, they are still drinking. They must be very drunk at the moment." This person is the owner of the small shop where Zhao Pu and Chu Zhaofu went. Who would have thought that there was Zhao Xu in this small shop? With his eyeliner, he could even hear clearly what the guests said in the private room.

Zhao Xu didn't talk, he just waved his hand to let him go down, and then there was only one person left, Zhao Xu muttered to himself:

"Even Zhao Xu thinks this way, and many people think so too. For the sake of the throne, I will definitely not let Zhao Lin go. In this case, many things will surface soon. Let the storm be more violent. "

It seemed that Zhao Xu had a plan, otherwise he wouldn't have said these words. Could it be that he still wanted to make a fuss about Zhao Lin? Could it be that he wanted to use Zhao Pu's guesses to do something?
