Anfu trembled and was about to deny it when King Liang's angry and cold voice sounded.
"If you dare to deceive me," Prince Liang paused, "I think you don't want to be quartered by five horses."
Anfu was shocked.
"My lord, please spare my life! My slave, my slave has indeed seen this pattern!"
"Where?" Sun Weidong stepped forward and asked.
Zhao Duan was even more confused, "Anfu, where have you seen this thing?"
Anfu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said in one breath: "I have seen this pattern before the third prince!"
“They are all found in daily necessities.”
Zhao Duan said: "Anfu, what are you talking about?"
King Liang suddenly fell silent, and everything seemed to be silent.
a long time.
King Liang flicked his sleeves!
"Let's go to the Third Prince's Palace and have a good search!"
King Liang especially emphasized the last four words.
The group of people hurried to the palace where Zhao Duan lived.
The guards immediately started searching.
Many tables, chairs, vases and some decorative objects are engraved with peony patterns.
Exactly the same pattern as the one on the shoulders of the three men in black!
"Zhao Duan, what else do you want to say?"
Zhao Duan's lips trembled, "I really don't know!"
"I don't know? Could it be that you want to say that someone is slandering you?"
Zhao Duan nodded hurriedly, "Father, it's true, my son has never done these things!"
"Not you?" Prince Liang chuckled with unclear meaning.
"Look clearly, these marks are at least three years old!"
Sun Weidong's eyes kept wandering.
Suddenly, his eyes focused on a smooth wall.
Sun Weidong fumbled for a while and finally found the agency.
That's a hidden grid.
Sun Weidong took out the box inside and handed it to King Liang.
The box is not big, and King Liang can hold it tightly with one hand.
He opened the box with one hand and found a jade pendant lying quietly inside.
On the jade pendant, there is a peony pattern.
"Father, son...!" Zhao Duan wanted to beg for mercy and cry out for injustice, but King Liang was already impatient.
He said directly: "Take the third prince into a secret cell and wait for disposal!"
The next day.
King Liang was sitting behind the desk in the study. Standing in front of him was Sun Weidong.
"What was found?"
"Now all clues point to the third prince."
After a pause, Sun Weidong continued: "Even Xu Yongshen has confessed, saying that it was the third prince who instigated it."
King Liang asked in a deep voice: "Do you think it will really be Zhao Duan?"
Before Sun Weidong could answer, King Liang said again: "I understand these children fairly well."
"Zhao Duan is mediocre in talent, addicted to gambling, and embarrassed to use."
"The matter of military pay has not been discovered for many years. It can be seen that the people behind the scenes are very careful. Zhao Duan, he has no ability to compete."
As soon as he finished speaking, King Liang said again: "Maybe I have made a mistake."
The one mentioned by King Liang was Zhao Jin, who was now showing off his talents.
"Your Majesty," Sun Weidong pondered for a moment and said, "It is more likely that he is not the third prince."
"Is it possible that he is the crown prince?" Sun Weidong said this with some hesitation.
King Liang knocked on the table and said, "Zhao Duan will not get involved with Hui'er for no reason."
"What the prince means is that the person behind the scenes is..."
Before Sun Weidong finished speaking, his meaning was already clear.
"It's possible, but it's unlikely."
"The biggest doubt about this incident is that it is Hui'er and Zhao Duan."
"Maybe this is killing two birds with one stone."
In the last sentence, King Liang's voice was very soft, but his tone was elusive.
Changle Hall.
All the palace people have withdrawn, leaving only the princess and Zhao Hui.
"This time, is it you?"
The princess was lying on the imperial concubine chair, and Zhao Hui was rubbing her temples.
"Yes, although Zhao Duan has not been convicted yet, it is today."
The princess chuckled lightly, "Well done."
"Hahaha, that fool Zhao Duan came here to apologize to me this evening." Zhao Wei sneered.
"No matter what, you have to be careful in the future." The princess warned in a low voice, "Your father has always been suspicious, and I am afraid he will be keeping an eye on you during this period."
"Don't worry, mother and concubine, my son understands."
Seeing that Zhao Hui had listened, the princess stopped talking.
Yang Guiren heard that something happened to Zhao Duan as soon as he got up early in the morning!
After roughly understanding the situation, she immediately went to find Prince Liang, knelt outside the door and cried.
However, this time, King Liang never agreed to see her from beginning to end.
On the other side is the capital.
Before dawn, the morning bell rang.
Officials filed in.
After the officials stood in their seats, a quarter of an hour later, the emperor came.
The bright yellow robe is eye-catching and luxurious.
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
The emperor gently waved his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, please be free!"
"Is there something important that you want to report weekly?"
One after another, officials came forward.
Halfway through the court meeting, an energetic official in his late sixties walked to the center of the hall holding an ivory wat.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have my own report!"
The emperor glanced at the eunuch beside him. He understood and shouted in a high voice: "Please, sir, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
The official took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Zhao Jin, the governor of Yunzhou County, previously uncovered a huge case of embezzlement of military pay."
"The lieutenants of Yunzhou County embezzled more than 30 million taels of silver in total!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
More than thirty million taels of silver!
The amount is close to the annual tax revenue of Zhao State!
The more he spoke, the angrier the official became.
The emperor's face darkened.
"Yunzhou County, I remember correctly, this is the fiefdom of King Liang."
"Exactly!"
"He is just a small county captain, how dare he commit such a heinous crime?" The emperor slapped the armrest twice, "Have you ever found out who is behind the scenes!"
"Prince Liang is already investigating this matter. I think we can finally..."
The fourth prince stood aside without saying a word.
After retreating from the court.
The fourth prince walked out when a eunuch suddenly stopped him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you."
The fourth prince was not surprised and just said: "I will go there right away."
Royal study room.
"coming?"
"See you, Father!"
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Yushu Linfeng's son below, with a flash of satisfaction in his cloudy eyes.
"I heard that you are familiar with Zhao Jin, the eldest prince of King Liang?"
"Yes, I have dealt with him before."
The emperor pondered for a moment and asked: "How do you feel?"
"He is a great talent." The fourth prince said firmly.
"The Great Prince."
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, "I remember correctly, his mother is from the Ning family."
"Precisely, what happened to the Ning family back then made Prince Liang very angry, so Zhao Jin's life in Prince Liang's Mansion was extremely poor."
The fourth prince sighed slightly and told everything he knew, "Mrs. Ning and Zhao Jin have been living in the side hall."
"That Mr. Yang has repeatedly targeted Mrs. Ning and Zhao Jin."
"Zhao Jin suffered a serious illness not long ago."
The emperor's eyes sparkled again and again, "So it seems that the relationship between Zhao Jin and Prince Liang is not good?"
Without waiting for the fourth prince to reply, the emperor said to himself, "The Ning family helped the court a lot back then, but now her children..."
