Chapter 2320 time is running out
Butler Zhao, he has re-examined his confession!
This news is definitely bad news for Yuan Ji!
It is precisely because of the confession and evidence of Mr. Zhao that the third prince Zhao Lun was imprisoned. Once Mr. Zhao revises his confession, Mr. Zhao will soon be free!
Yuan Ji knew very well the crisis contained in it.
"How could this happen? Why did Butler Zhao revise his confession? Was he instructed by someone?" Yuan Ji asked hurriedly.
Yuan Ji didn't believe that the butler Zhao who had confessed Zhao Lun so resolutely before would suddenly re-examine his confession, and there must be other reasons for this.
Now, Butler Zhao is being locked in a prison by people from the Ministry of Justice. Therefore, Guan Zhuo, as the Minister of Justice, is undoubtedly the clearest thing about the matter.
"It's Hou Yi." Guan Zhuo said in a deep voice: "He bribed the prison guard and passed on the words to Butler Zhao."
"It's him!" Yuan Ji said in surprise.
Then Yuan Ji thought of Hou Yi's attitude towards him and what he said before, and felt that he was not so surprised.
It is obvious that Hou Yi has turned to Zhao Lun's side, and now he is running to rescue Zhao Lun, which makes completely sense.
"What did he say?" Yuan Ji asked.
"Family!" Guan Zhuo said in a deep voice: "Hou Yi controlled the family of Butler Zhao and threatened him with this to change his words. At the same time, he blamed the eldest prince."
"Damn it!" Yuan Ji was very angry when he heard Guan Zhuo's words: "This bastard!"
Yuan Ji was furious. He didn't expect that the situation that was originally pretty good suddenly took a sharp turn. He and Guan Zhuo had focused on Zhao Lun before, thinking about how to make Zhao Lun confess, but he did not expect that the housekeeper Zhao suddenly changed his confession. Moreover, Hou Yi had obviously grasped the initiative and seized the weakness of Butler Zhao's weakness. Unless they could rescue Butler Zhao's family, Butler Zhao would definitely not tell the truth again.
It is obvious that Mr. Zhao knew that what he did must be lost, but he did not want his family to be implicated. Whoever could control his family would be able to control his mouth.
Since Hou Yi has taken action first, it is undoubtedly very difficult for Guan Zhuo and Yuanji to rescue Mr. Zhao's family from him.
"How do you do things? Why do you ignore Butler Zhao so much? What should you do now?" Yuan Ji couldn't help but blame Guan Zhuo.
This incident had a great impact on him that he couldn't help but want to get angry at Guan Zhuo.
Guan Zhuo did not refute it. He himself understood that this matter was indeed caused by their negligence, and the responsibility lies with them. Although Yuan Ji's words were unpleasant, they were also true.
"Now that I want to decide the third prince's words, I can only ask Mr. Zhao to change his words again." Guan Zhuo said: "The reason I told you about this is that I hope you can work with me to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Zhao's family. This matter cannot be delayed for too long. The second prince's poisoning has spread. This case must be tried as soon as possible. Therefore, there is not much time left for us."
Guan Zhuo is telling the truth.
Originally, this matter was under the responsibility of their Ministry of Justice, and under normal circumstances, he would not be willing to let others interfere in their Ministry of Justice.
But this matter is different. Because this matter is related to the second prince and it has been widely spread, it is impossible for him to stop the trial. As long as the trial is heard, if the family of Mr. Zhao is not found, Mr. Zhao will inevitably redeem his confession. At that time, he will not be able to condemn Zhao Lun at all.
Therefore, it is precisely because of his rush to find someone that Guan Zhuo told Yuanji about this, hoping that Yuanji could find Mr. Zhao’s family together.
Guan Zhuo knew that Yuanji and Zhao Lun had already broken up, so they would definitely be very attentive in this matter. They were the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Personnel. They both had their own connections. If they joined forces, they might be able to find Mr. Zhao's family.
"The only way to do this is now." Yuan Ji calmed down his excitement a little. He knew that being angry at this time would be useless. He could only cooperate with Guan Zhuo. The two of them tried their best to find out Mr. Zhao's family, otherwise everything would be over.
Afterwards, the two discussed how to do this.
This is actually not easy. They want to find someone, but they can't look for him with great fanfare, because the person was hidden by Hou Yi. If he heard the news, he would likely transfer the person. Even Yuan Ji and Guan Zhuo were worried that Hou Yi would kill the person directly and end it all.
Therefore, they can only do it in secret and cannot attract the attention of others, especially Hou Yi.
Of course, the Ministry of Justice needs to conduct interrogation on Mr. Zhao and use various methods. It would be better if he could tell the truth.
At this time, Zhou Yanfeng, Li Yang and Qi Kai were in a good mood.
Needless to say, Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang, they had always wanted the underage prince to ascend the throne and control the government.
Now, the second prince is dead, the third prince is captured, and the eldest prince has escaped. Any prince who may have ascended the throne and become emperor before has any accidents. They are naturally happy because this means that they have a chance to achieve their goals.
As for Qi Kai, although he had secretly joined the second prince's camp before, he had only joined secretly and had not made any public statement. Therefore, he could not admit it at all. Therefore, although the second prince suddenly died, it actually had no effect on him. At least Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang did not see anything.
"We were indeed correct in our plan to remain silent!" Zhou Yanfeng said happily: "Now the three princes are all covered in bruises, and even the second prince has died suddenly. We are one step closer to success!"
"Yes." Li Yang was also full of excitement: "Although I had expected before that the three of them would fight to the death, I didn't expect that this day would come so soon, and their fate was even worse than we had expected! Now, there are no more obstacles in front of us!"
Qi Kai looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, not happy. Although Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang didn't know that he had secretly joined the second prince's camp, Qi Kai was weak and dared not say much. What's more, before this, Zhou Yanfeng and Li Yang did not value his opinions very much. He didn't say anything, and there was no big difference between him.
Looking at the two people who were happy, Qi Kai was actually a little angry.
Qi Kai could feel the contempt of these two people for him. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to get rid of this small group and join the second prince's camp. This was another gambling for him. As long as he succeeded, he could turn over.
