Among the Zhao brothers, it was Zhao Kuangyi who was the first to receive the news that Kou Xiang had prepared a coffin to resolve the case.
Zhao Kuangyin's status was too high, so he was destined not to hear messages from people below him.
Even senior generals who heard about it did not dare to mention it in front of Zhao Kuangyin.
Therefore he knew nothing about the matter.
Zhao Kuangyi's status was far lower than that of his brother. He often went out with his friends and friends, so he naturally overheard the discussions in the restaurant lobby.
A helpless scholar, facing the powerful, prepares a coffin to resolve the case.
What courage is this.
How is this different from when Luo Youdu captured Wang Jixun in Changjie?
Zhao Kuangyi originally booked a private room, but in order to listen to the rumors, he opened a table in the lobby and stayed there for two hours, listening to various versions of the rumors.
Several versions have been circulated about Bi Shiyuan's incident, but without exception, all versions can be summed up in two points.
Kou Xiang's fearlessness in preparing a coffin to solve the case, and General Zhao's domineering publicity.
This rumor did not dare to name anyone, but only referred to him as General Zhao, but anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story knows who this General Zhao is referring to.
Zhao Kuangyi returned home angrily. When he learned that Zhao Kuangyin was practicing martial arts in the martial arts field, he said angrily: "Brother, didn't you agree not to interfere? Why did you send someone to poison Kou Xiang's chickens?"
Zhao Kuangyin stood up with a stick and said: "What are you talking about? Who sent someone to poison Kou Xiang's chickens..."
He reacted with a solemn expression.
He felt strange in the past two days.
In addition to polishing their strong bodies, warriors also need to exercise their six senses and will.
As one of the most powerful generals in this era, Zhao Kuangyin's six senses were extremely sharp. Someone behind him was pointing, and although he could not see it with his eyes, his powerful six senses sent him a message that someone was peeping.
He once thought that he had too many troubles recently and that something was wrong with his mood.
Until Zhao Kuangyi's arrival.
After listening to Zhao Kuangyi's detailed account of what happened in the restaurant, Zhao Kuangyin became furious and yelled: "Who did it?"
Zhao Kuangyi asked: "Are you really not my brother?"
Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Sanlang thinks the Brotherhood will use such stupid and despicable methods?"
Zhao Kuangyi remained silent. It was true that his brother was not stupid and would not use such methods.
But in the current situation, apart from Zhao Kuangyin, he really couldn't think of anyone who would threaten Kou Xiang.
"Could it be Luo Yanxuan? He has the best relationship with Wang Yansheng."
Zhao Kuangyi can only guess blindly now.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "It can't be him. He was on duty that night and was in the palace for ten days. He only found out about Wang Yansheng the next day and came to me to inquire about the situation."
Zhao Kuangyi patted his head and said: "Besides him, I can't think of anyone else."
Zhao Kuangyin smiled bitterly and said: "Even Sanlang thinks so. I'm afraid General Zhao's reputation will never be wiped away this time."
In this case, there was really nothing he could do.
Defend yourself? Or investigate the truth?
He thinks he is innocent, but who would believe him?
To investigate the truth?
Not to mention whether you have the power, if you really want to do it, it will only cause people to say that the situation is serious and out of control, and the thief will cry out to catch the thief.
The key point is that the rumor did not name anyone, it was just General Zhao.
The manager knew it was him, Zhao Kuangyin, but he didn't express it.
If he behaves excessively, it will give people the feeling of being a thief.
The current situation is that yellow mud falls on the crotch, which is either shit or shit.
The more Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more helpless he became.
"asshole!"
The iron rod in his hand slammed to the ground.
There was a "bang" sound.
Rubbles flying everywhere!
The bluestone bricks on the ground could not withstand the force of his stamping.
Zhao Kuangyi obviously also thought about it together with Zhao Kuangyin. The current situation is getting darker and darker. The more he does, the more guilty he appears, and the more mistakes he makes.
The best way is to do nothing but hope for one thing: rumors only stop at the wise.
**********
"drive!"
Bianjing and Kaifeng are at the cusp of this storm.
Luo Youdu returned to Kaifeng.
He had learned about Wang Yansheng's affairs and Kou Xiang's coffin preparation from the letter written to him by Zhao Pu.
It’s not surprising that Wang Yansheng caused trouble again.
Kou Xiang's determination shocked Luo Youdu, and he couldn't help but think to himself, is this old Kou family so temperamental?
He remembered that there was a prime minister named Kou Zhun in the Zhenzong Dynasty of Song Dynasty.
As soon as his temper got angry, he directly took the emperor hostage and went to the front line.
I don't know what the relationship between these two people is.
It's just that he couldn't understand that this simple and crude method was really done by Zhao Kuangyin?
But apart from Zhao Kuangyin, Luo Youdu really couldn't think of anyone who would be willing to threaten an important member of the Kaifeng government for Wang Yansheng.
Regardless of whether it's him or not, almost everyone now thinks it's him, and that's him.
How could Luo Youdu let go of such an opportunity to add insult to injury openly?
"Madam, you go back home first! My husband is going to Zhao's house!"
As he said this, he took Hu Yanzan and more than ten guards with him and came to Zhao's house, which he had not seen for a long time.
It was still the middle-aged concierge with a broken arm, who knocked on the door again when he saw Luo Youdu.
The middle-aged concierge also felt that things had changed. Luo Youdu was just a small official at the beginning, but now he has climbed to the head of his master.
It’s still the same rule.
The door of Zhao's house is open for anyone.
No matter who you are, regardless of your status, if you come to see me, please go directly to the living room.
The last time I came here, I was acting as a bad guest and Luo Youdu did not enter the house.
This time I walked in generously.
The Zhao brothers who were at the martial arts training ground heard the news that Luo Youdu asked for a meeting.
Zhao Kuangyi cursed and said: "If he doesn't stay in the military camp, why does he come to our house?"
Zhao Kuangyin expressed his sorrow and said: "Who else can save Kou Xiang from us except him?"
Even he himself had some doubts about whether he did something stupid in his dream.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Luo Youdu has shown great kindness to us, and we must treat him with dignity no matter what."
Zhao Kuangyi responded helplessly.
Life is so complicated. Even though you are extremely hostile in your heart, you have to treat it with a smile on your face.
"Brother Luo! What kind of wind has brought you here!"
Zhao Kuangyin greeted him happily.
"Brother Zhao!"
"Brother Zhao!"
Luo Youdu said hello to Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi respectively.
Then he said straight to the point: "Two brothers Zhao, I came here today to ask for something. I heard about the incident of the Inspector Wang. How can I put this matter? It is indeed his fault. That group of scholars regarded the book as a
After killing his lifeblood, the king's inspector asked for money and destroyed other people's books. It's no wonder that people don't let him go."
"Kou Xiang was promoted by me back then. He is the most stubborn person. He gets tougher when encountering tough situations and is difficult to talk to. I apologize to the two brothers Zhao on my behalf. I hope that I will forgive him for any offense I have offended."
"As for the matter of the king's inspection envoy, I will persuade him to give him a lighter sentence."
As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I don't know whether it will succeed or not. I can only do what I can."
Zhao Kuangyin listened to Luo Youdu's words, feeling aggrieved in his heart, and said: "Brother Luo, can you believe that someone said that this matter has nothing to do with Zhao?"
