Because he had already greeted him a day in advance, when Zhao Weixian arrived at the gate of Prince Zun's Mansion, there was already a housekeeper waiting for him outside.

"Master Zhao, you are here!" the housekeeper greeted politely.

Zhao Weixian smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

"Your Majesty is waiting for you in the study, please come with me." After the butler finished speaking, he led the way to the mansion.

When he received the post and learned that Zhao Weixian was coming to find him, King Zun actually didn't feel surprised, and was even secretly happy.

"Your Majesty, Master Zhao is here," the housekeeper said outside the study.

Soon, the king's voice came from inside: "Well, let him come in."

When Zhao Weixian walked in, the king was reading a book, without even turning his eyelids, and seemed not to take him seriously at all.

"I have met the prince." Zhao Weixian knelt on the ground and saluted.

The king moved the book away from his eyes and said, "Okay, no need."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Governor Zhao has so many things to do, how come you have time to come to this place today?" Your Majesty put the book on the table, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty, I am here today because I have something to discuss with your Majesty."

"Say it."

"When I met with the Holy Lord yesterday, I heard that the prince wanted to take over the case of secretly sending salt to the escort agency under the name of Yanyuntang. I felt a little sorry," Zhao Weixian said.

The king smiled slightly, and while using the lid of the teacup to skim the tea leaves floating on the water, he asked: "What are you sorry about?"

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard for decades, and now it's time to enjoy your blessings. Besides, I have been investigating this case. Please give me some face, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing what Zhao Weixian said, the king immediately confirmed that the emperor must have exempted Zhao Weixian from this errand. However, Zhao Weixian was unwilling to accept it, so he came to find him personally.

Thinking of this, the king said: "I told the emperor about this matter yesterday, and the emperor said that I should think about it. Why, you also met the emperor yesterday? What did the emperor say?"

When asked about this, although Zhao Weixian was very reluctant to say it, he did not dare not to say it, let alone say nonsense: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty asked me to put down this errand and let His Royal Highness handle it with full authority."

"That's it, look at you, the emperor has already said that you and I are ministers, what else can we say, so be it, we will officially hand over the case tomorrow, and you will find out what you have learned in the past few days.

Sort out all the clues and hand them over to the king." The king did not give Zhao Weixian a chance to continue to argue, and started talking about the handover directly, which caught Zhao Weixian a little off guard.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhao Weixian felt like a mirror in his heart, knowing that the king was determined to take care of this matter. In this case, he did not have to argue anymore, otherwise, once the king was angry, he would be in trouble. "Since the king is angry, he will be in trouble."

The prince is dedicated to serving the country, and the official has nothing else but admiration. The matter will be handled according to the prince's instructions, but... these are just some clues found in the past few days. For the sake of confidentiality, the official did not

Leave a record, but keep it in your mind, and if the prince needs it, you can write it down."

Zhao Weixian's little thoughts cannot be hidden from the eyes of the king: "Oh? That's not necessary. I will come up with something for myself later. Is there anything else that Governor Zhao can do?"

Hearing this tone, the king wanted to expel the guest, but Zhao Weixian had no intention of leaving, and then asked: "My lord, I dare to ask, what do you think of this case of transporting illegal salt?"

?”

"Well... I don't have any opinions for the time being, but to digress, I always suspect that there seems to be someone in the court secretly colluding with some martial arts people to do some shameful things. Hey, you said this time the Yanyuntang

Could it be that the escort agency's transportation of illicit salt is also related to some people in the court?" These words of the king were clearly a tactic to shake the mountain and shake the tiger.

Ever since Chi Zhongtian brought that news last time, the king has been keeping that matter in mind, and now he happened to take advantage of this opportunity to beat Zhao Weixian.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Weixian's expression was obviously a little strange, and the king captured all this in his mind.

"Well...what the prince said is something I have never thought of." Zhao Weixian said in a panic.

"Maybe this king is overly worried, but when doing things for the country and the emperor, you must think carefully. It's like playing Go. Whoever counts more and who plans carefully will definitely win. What do you think?

?" the king asked calmly.

"That's right, that's right, I have learned a lesson from you."

"Your Majesty, if you don't have any instructions, I will resign first. I will hand over the case at noon tomorrow at the Yamen of Dali Temple. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Well, I'll do as you say."

"Okay, then I will resign."

"Master Zhao, walk slowly, I will see you off not far away."

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Weixian, who was still normal at first, suddenly became angry. He walked into the sedan with gritted teeth and kept breathing heavily.

Just after Zhao Weixian left, the side door at the back of Zunwang's study was opened, and a man walked out, none other than the current Taifu, Yongmen Zhen.

"Your Majesty."

"Brother Yongmen, sit down, how are you doing, how do you feel?" the king asked.

Yongmen Zhen sat down and said: "At first, I didn't think anything of it, but then when he asked about your opinion on this matter, I felt a little strange. Did he want to get it from the prince?

, what words can you come up with?"

"Not bad!" The king suddenly slapped the table, and then said: "You and I wanted to go together, so I shocked him."

"I have to say, I really admire your master, your last move of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. As soon as you finished speaking, Zhao Weixian left immediately. I think he should have noticed something." Yongmen Zhen said.

"You weren't here just now. When he heard me saying that someone was colluding with people in the martial arts world, his expression was very unnatural. Think about it, Zhao Weixian has been in the court for many years and his pretense is top-notch, but today he showed his cowardice.

What does it mean?" The king asked Yongmen Zhen.

Yongmen Zhen nodded and said, "It means that your lord, you have hit his sore spot."

"So, we have to pay close attention to this matter. By the way, has there been any movement among the Third Prince recently?" the king asked again.

Yongmen Zhen shook his head and said: "There is no movement, it is still the same as usual. However, something is wrong with the second prince recently."

The king was stunned and asked: "Something's wrong? Why is something wrong?"

"A few days ago, Zidi was ordered to accompany the second prince to Jingshan for hunting. On the way, he met the third prince. Later, the two had a dispute and almost started fighting."
