Chapter 1112 - Follow quietly
"How much do you plan to pay?" Jiang Da asked casually after hearing this.
"Is fifty thousand taels of gold enough?" Zhao Weixian thought for a while and said casually.
"Oh my God, how rich are you!" Jiang Da was obviously frightened and blurted out this sentence.
Fifty thousand taels of gold, an average person would not be able to earn this amount in a lifetime. As the head of the Criminal Department, Jiang Da's rank is not low. However, in order for him to earn this amount, he would have to go without food and drink for decades, which may not be possible.
"Don't worry about it. With this money, it won't be a problem to bribe a few jailers." Zhao Weixian asked with a smile.
"This amount is scary. If it is used as a bribe, it might be enough." Jiang Da said thoughtfully.
"That's it, just bribe the jailer and ask him to do a favor and get some poison in. As long as the woman dies, the matter will be over. Even if someone brings the real body to the emperor later, there is no evidence.
What’s in the prison is fake, and as long as there is no direct evidence, everything will be easy to handle,” Zhao Weixian said.
"Okay, let me try this for you." Jiang Da thought for a while and seemed to have made up his mind.
"You must help me with this matter. After the matter is completed, I will give you one thousand taels of silver as a reward." Zhao Weixian said.
"Hey, let's not talk about this between you and me. Also, I have to ask you, there is a contingency for everything. What if this trick doesn't work?" Jiang Da asked.
"Then there is nothing we can do. Either I resign from my official position, or find someone to take the blame for me." Zhao Weixian said calmly.
When he heard Zhao Weixian say that he wanted someone to take the blame for him, Jiang Da suddenly panicked.
However, although he was panicking in his heart, on the surface, he remained calm.
"Ahem, you have to make up your own mind." Jiang Da reminded.
"Well, wait a minute, I'll get you some money."
After saying that, Zhao Weixian left and soon returned, holding a box in his hand.
"There are 50,000 taels of gold silver notes here. Remember, don't get it yourself, send someone to get it." Zhao Weixian warned.
Jiang Da took the box and immediately opened it and took a look.
"From Jingfeng Bank?"
"Exactly."
"Okay, I have an idea."
Jiang Da said and put the box away.
"Whether things work out or not, remember to tell me. If it's not convenient for you to come forward, just find someone to tell me." Zhao Weixian was still a little worried, so he warned me again.
Jiang Da nodded and said: "Don't worry, brother, just wait for my news. By the way, don't leak the news that we have met."
"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about this." Zhao Weixian said.
"Brother, shall I leave then?"
"Go ahead."
"Take care of yourself."
"Well, don't worry."
Soon, Zhao Weixian sent Jiang Da away.
Jiang Da came alone, and it was almost halfway through the ugly time. He quietly slipped out of the back door of Zhao Weixian's house, and then hurried forward.
However, what he didn't expect was that from the time he came in to the time he left, there was someone not far away, staring at him.
This person is, of course, Chi Zhongtian.
Chi Zhongtian is no longer what he used to be. He is very thoughtful. He has already guessed that people like Zhao Weixian will never sit still and wait for death. They will definitely find a way, so he waited quietly at the back door.
The reason why it was not at the main gate was because Chi Zhongtian felt that no one would dare to enter Zhao Weixian's home through the gate at this juncture, even at night.
Who knows if there might be spies from the Praetorian Guards watching nearby?
After Chi Zhongtian saw Jiang Da go in, he thought that there was indeed a door, so he waited patiently outside. Now that he saw Jiang Da coming out, he immediately followed him.
Because it was late at night, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, so Chi Zhongtian found it difficult to follow him. The streets in Beijing were not like those in small towns. There were few trees on the roadside, and some roads were quite wide. He wanted to find a place to take shelter temporarily.
Turning corners is not easy.
Fortunately, Chi Zhongtian was quite capable. Since he couldn't walk on the ground, he simply jumped to the roof.
In this way, Chi Zhongtian followed all the way. Finally, Jiang Da stopped in front of a house. He first looked around furtively, then walked to the door and knocked on the door.
Chi Zhongtian had already arrived next to the house at this time, and was hiding in the wall on one side of the house gate, peeking over there quietly.
After knocking two or three times, the door opened, and Jiang Da's figure quickly disappeared.
After Chi Zhongtian saw Jiang Da entering, he walked out of the darkness and quietly came to the door.
By crossing over, Chi Zhongtian looked up and saw the two characters "Chiang's House" written on the plaque hanging on the gate.
"The surname is Jiang?"
Chi Zhongtian murmured to himself in a low voice, and then began to think about whether to go in and inquire.
After much deliberation, he gave up. It would be bad if something happened.
However, Chi Zhongtian still made a note of the location of the mansion and planned to explore it again during the day tomorrow.
Because he didn't want to do anything that was known to everyone, Chi Zhongtian didn't go back to the General's Mansion, let alone an inn. Instead, he found a secluded alley and sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, planning to stay up all night.
However, the feeling was really unpleasant. When the cold wind blew, Chi Zhongtian suddenly felt a little unbearable. Although he wore a lot of clothes, he still couldn't block the cold wind.
In order to resist the cold, Chi Zhongtian simply started to use his internal energy to keep warm. Furthermore, he could also practice his internal energy. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
As for Zhao Weixian, after sending Jiang Da away, he was still not idle. Instead, he quickly wrote another letter and found someone to send it to him.
The first letter he wrote to King De was just sixteen short words.
"Now that I am in great danger, I am asking for help. If I escape from this disaster, my great kindness will be repaid."
King Qing had given up hope. Zhao Weixian still thought that the letter King De showed him that King Qing wanted to confess to him was really written by King Qing.
However, that doesn't matter much, because in order to protect himself, King Qing has already told him in front of the emperor. As for why the emperor has not made any move until now, I am afraid it is something unknown.
Now, in the emperor's mind, the atmosphere in the court was unprecedentedly tense. During the war, seven cities in southern Xinjiang were lost, and King Huan in the west suffered repeated defeats. In the court, King Qing said that Zhao Weixian had told him that there would be no war in southern Xinjiang.
This incident made the emperor even more suspicious. It seemed that there was going to be some trouble in the court, just like in the martial arts world.
