Chapter 163 Prince Luo

Zhao Fei was taken aback by Anping's words.

Since Zhao Fei asked Wang Yi to arrest Prince Gong and King Luojun last time, Zhao Fei asked Wang Yi to go home to recuperate.

Of course, it is for repairing in name, but actually it is to avoid the limelight. After all, this kid has captured two princes. If he is still so ostentatious, even Zhao Fei may not be able to keep him.

However, due to Zhao Fei's lack of manpower, it was not easy to rest under Zhao Fei's command. Although Wang Yi meant to rest and recuperate, Zhao Fei still sent him to work.

To be more specific, Wang Yi was sent by Zhao Fei to monitor Prince Luo's movements.

Prince Luo is the father of Duke Luo. If something happened to his son, it is absolutely impossible for his father not to deal with it.

Prince Luo's name is Zhao Xi, and he and Luo County King Zhao Yu are both father and son princes. The fiefdom is on the banks of the Luoshui River in the south of the Song Dynasty, and they are very powerful among the royal family.

So after King Luo County was arrested, Zhao Fei just put him under house arrest and had no other means.

After the death of Prince Gong Zhao Yong, Zhao Fei asked Wang Yi to monitor Prince Luo's movements.

Now that Wang Yi suddenly appeared at the palace gate without asking for instructions, it can be seen that something must have happened to Prince Luo, otherwise Wang Yi would not have come back for no reason.

Therefore, Zhao Fei didn't care about continuing to flirt with Ziyan, and ordered the capable palace servants to escort Ziyan back to Fengluan Palace to rest, and hurriedly went to see Wang Yi with Anping.

Wang Yi looked like he was in a hurry, and he looked like he came all the way fast.

As soon as he saw Zhao Fei, Wang Yi shouted: "Your Majesty, Prince Luo has already come all the way to Chang'an, and my servant has quick legs, so I rushed all the way back to report."

"Prince Luo has come to Chang'an?" Zhao Fei frowned, looked at Anping and said, "Did you report Zhao Xi's coming to Chang'an to the clan mansion?"

"I've never heard of it." Anping shook his head.

"That's it." Zhao Fei raised his brows and said, "Then he came to Chang'an without asking for instructions. Doesn't this seem to be in compliance with the rules?"

"Your Majesty, there is something that I don't know whether to say or not," Anping said.

"Say." Zhao Fei said.

"The current head of the clan's mansion is Prince Shou. Prince Shou and Prince Luo are cousins ​​from the same family, so it only takes a quarter of an hour for the two princes to meet to report this matter." Anping said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wang Yi and said, "How long will it take for Zhao Xi to arrive in Chang'an?"

"It will arrive as soon as tomorrow." Wang Yi said.

"Tomorrow?" Zhao Fei was taken aback, looked at Wang Yi with some doubts and said, "Didn't you come back so quickly? When did Luoshui and Chang'an get so close?"

Although Zhao Fei asked this question, the meaning of his words was obvious. Since you, Wang Yi, came back quickly, how could it be possible for Prince Luo to follow you back to Chang'an?

To put it more bluntly, is it true that you, Wang Yi, are serious about doing things for me?
As an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for many years, Wang Yi is not unintelligent, but he has never had a chance. He understands Zhao Fei's words very thoroughly, and he even thinks further than Zhao Fei.

After Zhao Fei finished speaking, Wang Yi's face changed, and he knelt down straight on the ground. Wang Yi said loudly: "Your Majesty, I did come back quickly. It's just that although Prince Luo came from Luoshui, It came from the junction of Luoshui and Fenshui, and besides, Prince Luo didn't come to Chang'an to put on a prince's ceremonial ceremonies, he just came here with a light car and a fast horse, that's why he arrived in Chang'an so quickly?"

Hearing what Wang Yi said, Zhao Fei suddenly remembered that he had heard that Zhao Xi had been hunting in the fief. It seemed that he happened to hunt to the border of Luoshui.

The distance from the border of Luoshui to Chang'an is naturally different from the distance from the depths of Luoshui to Chang'an.

But Zhao Fei didn't forget it like that. After all, if he really did, does it mean that Zhao Fei is too small-bellied?
At that moment, Zhao Fei pondered for a while, and then asked: "Zhao Xi has been wandering around Luoshui, why did he suddenly rush to Chang'an this time?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is because..." Wang Yi looked at Zhao Fei with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Because of what?" Zhao Fei frowned and said, "Just say what you want, not mother-in-law."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Wang Yi nodded, and said with some confusion, "I heard that it seems to be because of Prince Gong's death."

"Zhao Yong's death?" Zhao Fei was stunned immediately.

Zhao Yong's death, he knew that there would be sequelae, but he really didn't expect the sequelae to come so quickly. Fortunately, Zhao Xi's reaction was always in Zhao Fei's expectation, so Zhao Fei was still calm and did not lose his composure. .

Moreover, Zhao Fei also understood why Wang Yi was so entangled. After all, Zhao Yong was the one who brought people to arrest him. But for some reason, when Zhao Yong died, everyone forgot about Wang Yi and all the responsibilities. Chu Xuan was called to resist all by himself.

Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong!
Zhao Fei secretly cursed a few words in his heart that this guy would not give him peace even if he died, and then said: "Get up first, and tell me about Zhao Xi carefully."

Even though Wang Yidang knew that the grievances in Zhao Fei's heart had dissipated a lot, he immediately stood up, seriously, and respectfully explained the relevant situation of his surveillance of Zhao Xi.

However, as Zhao Xi was a prince, the protection force around him was very strong, so Wang Yi actually did not get any great information.

"En." Zhao Fei listened carefully to Wang Yi's narration, nodded and said, "It's a pity for you, you've been exhausted all the way, and you're tired even if you think about it, you should go back and rest first!"

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Wang Yi kowtowed and left.

After asking Anping to send Wang Yi away, Zhao Fei closed his eyes and meditated.

What happened to Zhao Xi was both expected and unexpected.

Zhao Fei knew that he had captured his son. As an old man, Zhao Xi would come to find him sooner or later, even Zhao Fei had already made preparations to meet Zhao Xi.

It's just that from the day Zhao Yu was arrested until Zhao Yong's death, Zhao Xi had no intention of coming to Chang'an.

After Zhao Yong died unexpectedly, Zhao Fei guessed that Zhao Xi would come back, but Zhao Xi still didn't come.

But now, Zhao Yong had been dead for quite a while, but Zhao Xi ran over, which really made Zhao Fei feel a little unexpected.

What is this old guy trying to do?
Zhao Fei couldn't help but think about Zhao Xi's purpose in coming to Chang'an. If he came here to ask him about his crimes, he should have come long ago.

If it was to demonstrate against Zhao Yongzhi's death, then Zhao Yong has been dead for so long, it is too late for you to come here now.

If it is for Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu is the King of Luo County. Although Zhao Fei arrested him, he did not make things difficult, especially after Zhao Yong died. , are not allowed to go out casually, and others are no different from ordinary people.

According to the reports from Jin Yiwei's spies, Zhao Yu has the intention of copying his old business recently. It is said that he has been very close to some gambling houses in Chang'an City recently, and it seems that he wants to make a lot of money by taking advantage of the Cuju competition held by the court.

This really made Zhao Fei truly feel, what is called death for money and death for birds, this kid will not accept any lesson.

But now Zhao Fei didn't have time to talk to him, so he just let him go.

Now that his father is here, Zhao Fei feels that he should meet this famous gambler in Chang'an.

That's right, Zhao Yu has a gangster name in Chang'an, called the Gambler, and the name is quite domineering, but the name is domineering, but he seems to be unlucky.

According to the news Zhao Fei got, Zhao Yu, the gambler, is probably the worst gambler in the history of gambling.

On the surface, the gamblers in Chang'an City call him the Gambler, but behind the scenes they all call him Zhao Songsong, the money giver.

It means that Zhao Yu is not here to make money, but to send money.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu opened a casino by himself, so although Zhao Yu was unsuccessful as a gambler, as a casino owner, Zhao Yu was quite successful.
But Zhao Yu's success, in Zhao Fei's view, seems to be more due to the convenience brought to him by his status as the county king.

"Master, this is Yuqian just brewed." Anping put a cup of tea in front of Zhao Fei.

Zhao Fei took a sip and said, "This tea is not bad, it seems to be new tea, right?"

"Yes." Anping nodded and said, "It was just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"That's right." Zhao Fei smiled, then looked at Anping and said, "Anping, go and call Zhao Yu here, I want to see him."

Anping froze for a moment, then looked at Zhao Fei strangely and said, "Master, what are you doing seeing that rascal?"

"His father is here, and I really want to know how he feels as a son." Zhao Fei smiled and said, "Also, it's okay for you to call him Popi in front of me, but in front of him, you can call him a rogue." Be respectful."

"The servant knows." Anping nodded.

"By the way, when you go out, ask Chen San to come here for a while."

Zhao Fei gave another order, and told Anping to go and come back quickly. Anping took the order and went, and soon after, Chen San hurried over.

"You came here?" Zhao Fei looked at the beads of sweat on Chen San's forehead in surprise.

"Yes." Chen Sangong said, "I heard Mr. An's message, and I trotted over here."

"Hehe, you are sincere!" Zhao Fei shook his head and smiled.

Some people are not incompetent, but lack a stage to display their abilities. For example, this once infamous gangster in Chang'an City is now the leader of the imperial court's secret service department without knowing it.

Zhao Fei sighed in his heart, and said, "Does Jin Yiwei know about Prince Luo Zhao Xi's visit to Chang'an?"

Chen San was stunned for a moment, he just knew that Zhao Fei wanted something from him, but he didn't know what it was. Now that Zhao Fei opened his mouth, he immediately understood why Zhao Fei was looking for him.

Cursing Anping secretly in his heart for not reminding himself beforehand, Chen Sangong said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei didn't know about Prince Luo's visit to Chang'an, but where did His Majesty's news come from?"

"Wang Yi said it." Zhao Fei said casually, "Is Jin Yiwei still staring at Zhao Yu recently?"

"According to His Majesty's instructions, I have been watching." Chen San said.

"What happened to Zhao Yu recently?" Zhao Fei looked at Chen San with interest.

According to Zhao Fei's understanding, this father also came to Chang'an, so it is impossible for his son not to know, so according to common sense, Zhao Yu should have changed.
