Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 168 The Opened Magic Box

Zhao Zifan's face turned pale, and only then did he realize that he was on someone else's territory, and he opened his mouth to say that a court official was dead or alive... Zhao Zifan secretly regretted it.

Wang Mang didn't care whether Zhao Zifan regretted it or not, with a wave of his hand, a few yamen servants came in directly and set Zhao Zifan up.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Zifan shouted, "I am Zhao Zifan from Nanyang, the son of Zhao Shixiu, the head of the Zhao family. If you dare to touch my finger, my father will make you regret living in this world."

Zhao Zifan's self-righteousness, Lu Yao stopped watching, and said directly: "I said, the third son of the Zhao family, you are too interesting, everyone knows that I, Lu Yao, am a dude, but compared with you, I think I am okay." Save it."

Zhao Zifan was a little ashamed, of course he knew that his performance just now was quite rubbish, but he had never seen such a battle!

He, Zhao Zifan, was born rich and well-clothed, and has always relied on his family background to oppress others. Wherever he goes, he is always supported by people. Except for the elders of the family, no one dares to speak harshly to her.

But now Wang Mang didn't agree with one word, and he was directly framed by someone. Zhao Zifan wanted to resist, but he also knew that it was useless to resist at this time. The head is powerful.

Wang Mang glanced at Lu Yuan, who stepped forward and said, "Do you want to die or live?"

"What do you mean? What do you want to do?" Zhao Zifan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he couldn't figure out what Lu Yuan and others meant.

"If you want to die, just because you insulted the court official just now, I can send you to the prison to accompany your youngest son. After entering the prison, I will use a little trick to send you to see the Du Hong family. I don't think there will be a big problem. "Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Then do you want to live?" Zhao Zifan turned pale.

"If you want to live, it's easy. Our government's policy has always been lenient for frankness and strict for resistance." Wang Mang interjected, "The four big families in Nanyang are so famous, they usually do a lot of bad things, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Zifan's expression was complicated. Although he didn't have a very good brain, he could still understand Wang Mang's words.

Wang Mang looked at Zhao Zifan and said, "Looking at your expression, you should have understood what I said. The imperial court has a policy against tainted witnesses. As long as you provide evidence of other people's criminal acts, this official may protect your life."

"You...I...Although I contradicted you, I am not guilty of death!" Zhao Zifan stared at Wang Mang, and said, "Let me be a tainted witness and testify against my family. I will never agree to you."

"Really?" Wang Mang frowned, and Lu Yuan said, "As far as I know, your father has four sons, and you are the third son, neither the eldest son nor the eldest, and you must have the same relationship with your other three brothers. What advantages, and I can help you."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Zifan swallowed with emotion on his face. As Lu Yuan said, although he is Zhao Shixiu's favorite son, he is really not the most promising heir of the Zhao family. According to the tradition of the Zhao family, In a few years, Zhao Shixiu will retire to be an elder, and the new head of the Zhao family will be born among their four brothers. Compared with his three brothers, he does not have much advantage.

Once Pandora's magic box is opened, it is difficult to close it. Although Lu Yuan's words are few, they are like a key, which suddenly unlocks the devil hidden in Zhao Zifan's heart.

What if something happened to my brothers?Then I... Zhao Zifan's heart thumped, and even Zhao Zifan was already thinking about the feasibility of the matter.

Currently in Xinyang, apart from him, there are also Zhao Si who was imprisoned and Zhao Zhiheng who came with him. Needless to say, Zhao Si, the face of the Zhao family outside, has not known how to walk with the help of the Zhao family all these years How many contacts have been accumulated, and Zhao Zhiheng has a deep mind, calculating people all day long, although many Zhao family members don't like it, but many Zhao family members think this is great wisdom.

But what if accidents happened to these two people in Xinyang?
When Zhao Si thought about it, he felt that the matter was very feasible. Although the boss was mysterious, he was the least liked by Zhao Shixiu, and he was not liked by most of the Zhao family. There was no threat to him in the matter of fighting for the head of the family.

If something happened to the second and third child, the position of head of the family seemed to be within easy reach!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zifan's eyes lit up completely, and he didn't even need Wang Mang or Lu Yao to continue to hint, but he said directly: "My lords, it seems that we are not in a state to talk about things now!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zifan looked at the yamen servant who was supporting him with his eyes. Wang Mang and Lu Yuan were stunned. They had prepared a lot of programs to confuse Zhao Zifan. They only mentioned a shadow, and he actually planned to sell someone outright.

But for Zhao Zifan's behavior, Wang Mang liked to hear it. With a wave of his hand, the servants left directly, so that only Wang Mang, Lu Yuan, Lu Yao, and Zhao Zifan were left in the room.

Zhao Zifan had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "My lords, if you have any questions, just ask them directly, and if you want me to do it, just say it. I am a straightforward person, and I can't turn my head around. If you have something to say directly, you don’t have to go around the bush.”

"Very good, the third son Zhao is really very human!" Wang Mang gave a thumbs up and said, "Since how the third son Zhao cooperates, then we are not hypocritical. What is the plan of the Nanyang Zhao family this time?"

"Plan?" Zhao Zifan's eyes moved, and he said directly: "I am Ming, and Zhao Zhiheng is dark. In short, the purpose of everything is to rescue the fourth child, and we must not lose face of the Zhao family in Nanyang."

"How to save?" Wang Mang said.

"I'm Minglu, and I only know my strategy. I just revealed my identity, went directly to the two, and talked to them about how I was willing to let the fourth child go." Zhao Zifan said: "As for Zhao Zhiheng's matter, I I don't know, and he won't tell me that the relationship between our brothers is not so harmonious."

"Apart from you two, did the other three families send anyone?" Lu Yuan asked.

"There is not on the surface, but there must be in the dark." Zhao Zifan did not wait for Wang Mang and the two to ask, and explained directly: "The four major families are in the same spirit, and I am the head of the Zhao family. Now that we have agreed, I will be the representative with Zhao Zhiheng." Well, on the surface, the three of them will never send people again. After all, the two of us are the representatives, but the three of them are guarding against our Zhao family. They will definitely send people in secret, but I don’t know who to send. understood."

"Protect your Zhao family?" Wang Mang frowned.

"Hehe, my Zhao family is the main family of the four major families? Why? Because of the strength of my Zhao family. It can be said that the strength of my Zhao family is equal to the combined strength of any two of them. They I'm afraid, I'm afraid that our Zhao family will continue to eat them with the same reason of the four big families." Zhao Zifan sneered.

Wang Mang and Lu Yuan glanced at each other, and Zhao Zifan provided a very good news. The four major families are not monolithic on the surface. From this point of view, isn't it too difficult to deal with?
