Zhao Jin quickly made a decision, "Leave the situation in Guanlong County to Seng Fan and the others for investigation. You should immediately find out the situation at Kong Wen's house, and..."
Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Look who is more nervous now."
"yes!"
On the surface, there was no movement at Duke Xuanping's mansion. Zhao Jin walked back and forth in three places every day as usual.
Secretly, Takeda, Chi Yi and Bai Wu in the Duke's Mansion are all secretly investigating.
A few days later, an uninvited guest came to the Duke's Mansion.
"Let him in." Zhao Jin took a breath and put his right arm casually on the armrest.
Soon, a man with a haggard look strode in, his steps a little hasty.
As soon as he saw Zhao Jin, he immediately knelt down and said: "Please also ask Duke Xuanping to save Master Kong."
Zhao Jin changed his worries and asked in a deep voice: "Since you have come to Bianzhou now, I can send you safely to the palace to meet His Majesty."
"Instead of letting me take action, it is better to tell His Majesty the matter directly."
"No!" The man swallowed, his voice almost pleading.
"My lord, we cannot inform your Majesty of this matter now."
Zhao Jin rubbed the handrail with his fingertips and half-closed his eyes, making it difficult to see his emotions clearly, "Reason."
Seeing this, the man felt even more unsure, but he managed to escape from Guanlong County. If he had not been able to persuade Duke Xuanping to help, no one would have been able to save him, even Master Kong.
He bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to calm down, "My lord, Mr. Kong's family is now under the control of the other party."
"Moreover, they also have their eyes and ears in the palace. Now I rashly tell His Majesty that they may have destroyed the evidence before the person is rescued."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin remained silent.
There was silence in the study room. The man was kneeling on the ground, feeling anxious and at a loss. What he had just said for such a long period of time was already his limit.
How to persuade Zhao Jin to help?
There was only one sentence left in the man's mind, but he was always clumsy and his throat was full of words.
After a long time, Zhao Jin stood up and looked down at the man, "Tell me everything you know."
Rationally, Zhao Jin knew that since Kong Wen's people had already arrived in Bianzhou, they could just escort them into the palace, and the other party's concerns had nothing to do with him.
Emotionally, Zhao Jin could not watch these lives being lost due to the greed of the people behind the scenes, and even the final case could only become an unsolved case.
Zhao Jin couldn't help but shake his head. After coming here, he became more and more soft-hearted.
The man was overjoyed, and Zhao Jin agreed to help.
"After Master Kong found out that the governor of Guanlong County was secretly making salt, he wanted to give it to His Majesty secretly, and then collect the evidence in private. Unexpectedly, the other party kept staring at Master Kong."
The man spoke very quickly, fearing that he would speak slower, so Zhao Jin changed his mind.
"Master Kong was discovered the next day. The other party controlled Master Kong and failed to induce him, so they used Master Kong's family to threaten him."
"No way, Mr. Kong can only make peace with it for the time being, and then secretly ask the villain to pass the news to Yunzhou County, and then tell the Duke of Guo through the hands of Yunzhou County."
The man said so many words in one breath for the first time, and then he bent down and knocked his forehead hard on the ground, "Please help me, Lord!"
"Why choose me?" Zhao Jin had some guesses about this, but wanted to know the exact answer.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "Because we have no choice."
"The villain can't run too far under the eyes of the governor of Guanlong County. The surrounding counties and cities are the best choice."
"But if the person behind the scenes can do such a thing, the entanglement of interests behind it must be very deep."
"We are unable to determine who has nothing to do with this matter and who may be willing to help."
"So, you think this matter must have nothing to do with me." Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and affirmed.
The man licked his lips, unsure of Zhao Jin's emotions, and said bravely: "Yes, because private salt production did not exist recently, and the Duke of Guo has only been in Bianzhou for a short time, and he has not had much contact with all the forces.
It’s a lot of involvement.”
Zhao Jin sighed lightly, "I helped with this matter, but you must cooperate with me."
"Yes! I am only at the mercy of the Duke!" The man's eyes lit up for a moment and he responded hurriedly.
The Seventh Prince's Mansion.
"You said one of the guards around Kong Wen is missing?"
Standing next to the seventh prince is his former companion, the third son of the Cao family in Bianzhou, Cao Xiangjun.
"Yes, the news just came back from Guanlong County, because the guard was mostly silent on weekdays, so he didn't notice it for a while." Cao Xiangjun's expression was not good-looking.
"You didn't find it for a while?" The seventh prince gasped heavily, furious, "So you didn't find out about a person for seven or eight days after he was missing?!"
Cao Xiangjun's lips trembled and he did not dare to speak.
After the seventh prince lost his temper, he asked sternly with a gloomy face: "Where did the person run to?"
The other party left quietly, he must have gone to help the soldiers.
Cao Xiangjun swallowed, his eyes a little wandering, "Nothing found."
The seventh prince directly grabbed the tea cup at hand and threw it at Cao Xiangjun's feet!
"You didn't keep an eye on me. If I ran away, I wouldn't be able to find any trace of him."
The Seventh Prince glared at Cao Xiangjun, "What is the purpose of raising you here in this palace?"
The porcelain cup shattered at Cao Xiangjun's feet, and he didn't dare to dodge.
The Cao family is now relying on the seventh prince, which has angered the seventh prince. Not only him, but also the Cao family is in trouble.
"Your Highness, please forgive me." The seventh prince quickly apologized and revealed his guess.
"At least the guard definitely didn't bring this matter to His Majesty's face."
The guard has been missing for seven or eight days, which is enough time to reach Bianzhou, but so far there has been no news.
The Seventh Prince has indeed never heard his father get angry in these days.
If my father knew about Yan Yin, he would never be so calm.
But, what kind of clue is this?
"He didn't stab his father, so he had to ask for help from others!"
The seventh prince's eyes were dark, "I have to dig three feet into the ground to find this person for you!"
Once word spreads about privately making salt, it will be extremely difficult to silence these people.
"Kong Wen's place, let them double the manpower to guard Kong Wen's place. In addition..."
The seventh prince still had a look of anger flashing across his face, "Cut off a small section of Kong Wen's wife's finger and give it to Kong Wen."
