The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1724 I caught you to give you a gift
Nothing happened all night, but at dawn the next day, Zhao Xu was awakened again by knocking on the door outside. Yesterday was like this, today is like this again, Zhao Xu was also a little angry, what happened again, Why did you knock on the door so early.

"His Royal Highness has a major event, King Tang is gone, and, and..." This man is the commander of the Imperial Army, and he is in charge of guarding the palace. Hearing his hesitant speech, and looking at his expression, Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat.

"Quickly, what's the matter?" Zhao Xu immediately cheered up. This was definitely not a trivial matter, and Zhao Xu's heart was suspended.

"And the tax money in the underground treasury also disappeared, all the tax money disappeared overnight, but we can guarantee that no one entered the palace from the outside last night, we were heavily guarded last night, it is impossible for such a situation to happen Things, we don’t know what’s going on.”

This person wasn't shirking responsibility. Zhao Xu believed that she didn't have the guts to do so, and the palace was indeed surrounded last night.

"Hmph, let me go over there and see who made it. It's a big deal."

Zhao Xu also regained his energy. There was no time for breakfast. Such a thing happened in the palace. Zhao Lin disappeared, and the tax bank also disappeared. Was this done by outsiders, or was it Zhao Lin's own plan? .

When Zhao Xu arrived at the palace, Zhao Pu and Chu Zhaofu were already waiting there. The guards around the palace were stricter than before. Could they be less strict if something happened?
"You guys came here earlier than me, do you have any clues?" Zhao Xu didn't say any polite words, and went straight to the point. He thought that Zhao Pu and the others must have checked the scene in advance because they were not idle.

"Your Highness, after a preliminary judgment, the prince must have been taken away by someone. There are signs of a fight in the house, and the time should be very short. Otherwise, people outside will be alarmed, but there is no one. This shows that the person who came here is very skilled. .”

Zhao Pu and the others really took a look at the scene, especially when they entered Zhao Lin's room. The tables and stools inside were all over the floor, but the doors and windows were intact.

Just like what Zhao Pu said, this process should be very short, or it would have been discovered by outsiders long ago, and now outsiders went there but didn't find out, that is to say, this process is really short, so short that no one even connected to the outside world. None of them noticed.

"Is it possible that he forged the scene himself? It is impossible for outsiders to hear such a big movement. Why do you conclude that it was done by outsiders?" Zhao Xu frowned.

"Your Highness, we had the same doubts as you at the beginning, but after our on-site simulation, we found that the scene was caused by at least two people, so the prince must have encountered someone, which is why he is like this."

The current Da Song officials do not only rely on reasoning to handle cases. Sometimes they will simulate on the spot, so that sometimes there are flaws in the scene carefully arranged by the suspect, and the scene simulation can indeed play a certain role.

Zhao Xu heard that it was an on-site simulation, and with Chu Zhaofu's many years of experience in handling cases, Zhao Xu also believed in his judgment. Now it can be proved that an outsider took Zhao Lin away, but Zhao Lin himself is not an ordinary person. Even good people are no match for him, so this person is still a master.

"I also went to ask the princess, but the princess didn't know anything, and now I don't know whether the prince, teacher and student are dead or not." Zhao Pu interjected.

"Let's go to the underground treasury to have a look. So much tax money disappeared overnight. There should be a mechanism in this treasury. Let's go and have a look."

Before Zhao Xu came, they hadn't entered to have a look. Now that Zhao Xu offered to go, Zhao Pu and Chu Zhaofu accompanied Zhao Xu in.

They stayed in the underground treasury for a long time and found nothing. The underground treasury was at the bottom, and Zhao Lin's room was above it, but Zhao Xu was sure that the tax money was definitely not transported from above.

Even Zhao Lin's own things were taken away. How many people were involved overnight, and where were they stored? Now that Jinling City is under martial law, it is even more impossible to get out.

Zhao Xu originally thought that there should be a mechanism leading to the underground treasure house, but after searching for a long time, they couldn't find any mechanism, and the matter fell into a stalemate again.

"I didn't expect that even you betrayed the prince. This king thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true. Who are you working for now, and what do you want to do by taking this king here?"

The blindfolds on Zhao Lin's eyes were taken off, he adjusted to the light outside, and then saw Liu Qinhu, it was Liu Qinhu who brought him here, Zhao Lin had nothing to fear, just didn't know Who is Liu Qinhu working for?

"My lord offended me, I had a little conflict with my lord last night, I apologize to my lord again." Liu Qinhu bowed his hands in apology.

"Okay, what kind of prince am I now, let the people behind you come out, there must be something wrong with spending so much effort to capture me," Zhao Lin was very calm on the contrary.

"Haha, the prince is so brave. If ordinary people come here, they will be cautious, but the prince doesn't care at all. This alone makes me admire."

At this time the leader came out, and his words were very satisfied with Zhao Lin, even full of admiration.

"Your Excellency is joking. If you want to kill me, do you still have to spend a lot of trouble? Who are you, and you can make people like Liu Qinhu follow you? Your energy is amazing."

Zhao Lin took a look at the person who came, and it was just an ordinary person's face, but the more he was like this, the more Zhao Lin dared not take it lightly, such a person would definitely not be an ordinary person.

"My lord, we are friends. Commander Liu is not my subordinate. Please understand this. As for my identity, I hope my lord will not ask, because you don't know what I said. I just A nameless person."

Anonymous?

You are an unknown person, go ahead and lie to ghosts, since you don’t want to say that I asked for nothing and wasted my tongue, Zhao Lin wanted to understand this and spoke again:

"Then what is your intention to bring this king here?"

"My lord, don't say it so harshly. You were invited by us, but Commander Liu used some extraordinary means because he was afraid of disturbing other people. In fact, we respect you very much and want to give you a gift."

"Gift? What gift?" Zhao Lin couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. Is it necessary to give yourself a gift like this?
"Hehe, we are actually here to give the prince a big gift, that is to help him ascend to the supreme position. How about this gift?"
