Song Mingyue

Chapter 151 Opportunity Comes (First update)

Wende Hall.

In the side room of the hall, the charcoal fire is raging, warm as spring.

Dressed in sable fur, Zhao Ji sat on a soft couch, took a gulp of the warm wine handed over by Liang Shicheng, with a satisfied look on his face, and asked, "Why hasn't Zhao Hao arrived yet?"

As soon as the words fell, a weak voice came from the door: "Here we come, we come..."

When Zhao Ji looked up, he saw that Zhao Hao had already entered the room, walked over slowly, bowed down and bowed: "I pay my respects to the official family."

Zhao Ji's expression became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where's my jasper whisk?"

Zhao Hao's heart tightened, and he said bravely, "I'm still in the house."

Zhao Ji stared at him fiercely and asked, "Why did Zhang Yun damage it by impeaching you?"

Zhao Hao smiled wryly: "I don't know if the jasper whisk is damaged, it was fine yesterday."

Zhao Ji didn't say anything more, with complicated expressions in his eyes, he said in a deep voice after a long time: "After all, it's your fault for not keeping it well, what should you do?"

This accusation was quite murderous.

Zhao Hao sneered secretly in his heart, but begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, the official!"

Although he was begging for mercy, his body was straight, he didn't even bend his waist, let alone kneel down - I knelt down on my knees, but I didn't worship the faint king.

Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, with a helpless look on his face, he waved his hands and said: "This time it's all over, remember not to be arrogant because of favor, just step back."

Zhao Hao's expression became serious, he saluted Zhao Ji and said goodbye.

Zhao Ji and Liang Shicheng looked at the back of Zhao Hao's departure, each with complicated expressions in their eyes, but their meanings were different.

Liang Shicheng secretly said: "The officials want to favor Zhao Hao, but they are also worried that he will be arrogant because of their favor, so they want to take the opportunity to beat him up, who knows that Zhao Hao will not buy it at all... What method did Zhao Hao use, even the officials have to Accommodate? This person is too unfathomable..."

Zhao Ji thought differently: "Stinky boy, how dare you be so proud... If you were not the reincarnation of the Dharma Protector God, if it weren't for your immortal skills and magic pills... Even Cai Jing would not dare to be so arrogant in front of me... Too arrogant Crazy..."

After a long time, Zhao Ji asked Liang Shicheng, "Zhao Hao is proud of being favored, how about keeping the Tao?"

Liang Shicheng said slowly: "Doctor Zhao has no position, and he has no foundation when he first entered the capital... His youthful disposition is simple and innocent, and he doesn't follow the rules. The officials should beat him more."

This sentence is oblique, and I am afraid that only Zhao Ji can understand the meaning of it.

Liang Shicheng was characterizing Zhao Hao as a reckless and ignorant young man. The matter was much simpler. After all, Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan were trying to force Cai Jing to step down, and Zhao Hao was a powerful helper.

Sure enough, the look in Zhao Ji's eyes eased a lot, and he murmured: "This kid!"

……

After leaving the Xuande Gate, Zhao Hao boarded the carriage angrily, took off the official hat with long wings that got in the way, opened the sedan chair curtain, and shouted angrily at Liang Lie: "Go home!"

It was rare for Liang Lie to see his son so murderous, and he felt a chill in his heart, and shouted anxiously: "What are you still doing in a daze, go back home quickly!"

I have always been the only one who has slandered others, but why has he ever been slandered by others? This time, if he hadn't pinched Zhao Ji's vital point in advance, he was confident, otherwise he would have been slandered to death already. How could Zhao Hao not be angry?
The person behind this incident must be Gao Qiu, but there must be an inner ghost in the mansion, and it must be eliminated quickly.

Facing the biting cold wind, the group of horseshoes rolled and rushed towards Zhao Mansion at high speed.

Back in the mansion, Zhao Hao couldn't wait to return to the bedroom, ran to the desk, grabbed the jasper whisk, and sure enough, he saw that the handle of the whisk, which was refined from a whole piece of jade, had broken into three pieces.

It is a crime of disrespect to damage the things given by the emperor, and the crime should be executed.

This is obviously Gao Lian sent someone to kill him, trying to put himself to death!

A cold light flashed in Zhao Hao's eyes, with murderous intent, and he punched the desk almost topple it down.

It took a long time for him to gradually regain his composure, and his face returned to a calm and breezy look.

He entered the main hall, sat down on the yellow pear wood chair in the middle of the hall, and said to the old housekeeper: "Gather all the servants in the mansion here, don't miss one, there will be rewards!"

It was not the first time that the young master rewarded the slaves, all the slaves knew it well, each of them showed joy, and rushed towards the hall as if flying, and soon three or forty people gathered.

In the backyard, two house slaves were cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground. Not far from them, a flower farmer was pruning the branches of several plum blossoms in the yard.

A house slave rushed over and saw the three of them busy, and laughed and scolded: "You wait for the three newcomers to settle down, but you are diligent... Put it down first, the young master is going to pay the reward, hurry to the hall to gather, if you go If you don’t get it late, you can blame me.”

The man left this sentence, which was considered to have been conveyed, and ran away in another gust of wind, for fear of affecting his claim of the reward.

The three of them dropped the buddies in their hands and got together, with puzzled and worried expressions in their eyes.

Finally, the flower farmer scolded in a low voice: "What are you afraid of? There are more than [-] new slaves in Zhao's house. I haven't written any words on my face. Let's go quickly. If we go late, we will show our whereabouts."

After finishing speaking, the flower farmer left first, and the other two looked at each other and ran over.

In the lobby, more than forty male domestic slaves stood on the left, and on the right stood more than a dozen maidservants, all together.

Except for a few people, most of the faces showed joy. The young master has always been generous, so the reward should be at least consistent, which is not a small sum of money.

Zhao Hao sat in the middle, with Zhao Dian and Fang Baihua standing on both sides, and asked the old housekeeper calmly, "Is everyone here?"

The old steward said respectfully: "My lord, there are 63 servants and old slaves in the mansion, and now there are 57 people. Six people including Liang Lie and Li Hong have gone to carry the money."

Zhao Hao nodded, with a bright smile on his face and said, "Very good!"

When everyone heard this, the joy on their faces grew stronger, and the eyes of the three house slaves headed by the flower farmer also showed a look of relief.

"Yang En... has a favorability score of 75 for Zhao Hao and a loyalty score of 70."

"Chen He... has a favorability score of 75 for Zhao Hao and a loyalty score of 70."

……

After checking all the way, as long as the favorability and loyalty are above 50, it is basically not a traitor.

Just when Liang Lie and other six people came in carrying loads of copper coins, Zhao Hao finally found out the identity of the flower farmer.

"Jiang Ying, strength 56, intelligence 55, politics 12, leadership 28, affection for Zhao Hao 0, loyalty 0."

Hey!
Immediately afterwards, they checked the two people next to the "Flower Farmer" Jiang Ying, and their favorability and loyalty were both below 10. ,

Zhao Hao's eyes were full of murderous intent, but his expression was still calm, he motioned for Liang Lie and others to bring the money to him, then took the roster from the old housekeeper, and said in a deep voice: "Groups of three, come up and get the money." The rewards should be given to one person, and they should go out of the hall immediately after receiving them, and there should be no confusion, otherwise they will be thrown out with sticks."

Not only was the reward rich, but what was even more rare was that the young master personally named and distributed the reward, and all the slaves cheered.

"Yang En, Cheng Lei, Wang Jun!"

"Chen He, Li Feng, Yun Du!"

……

The house slaves went up in groups of three to receive the reward money one by one, and then consciously exited the lobby after receiving the money. Soon the baskets of copper coins gradually emptied, and the number of people in the lobby became less and less.There are only a dozen people left.

That "Flower Farmer" Jiang Ying's face became more and more dignified, and a look of uneasiness gradually appeared in his eyes.

There is obviously something wrong with the order of Zhao Hao's roll call. The three of them are not the latest to enter the mansion, but the earliest of the latest batch of more than [-] people. According to the order of the roster, those who entered the mansion later than them Go up and get the money before they do.

There were fewer and fewer people, and there were only five people left, including Jiang Ying and the other three.

"Chen Dao, Qin Yun, step forward!"

As soon as Zhao Hao's words fell, Jiang Ying's expression changed drastically, and she shouted "withdraw" in a low voice, then jumped up first, and rushed towards the door of the lobby.

The situation was already obvious, Zhao Hao abruptly kept the three of them until the end, and his purpose was self-evident.

Zhao Dian jumped up suddenly, and a hungry tiger rushed over. When the other two people were startled, one of them was thrown to the ground by Zhao Dian, pressed firmly to the ground, and let out a cry of pain.

The remaining person took out a dagger from his sleeve and rushed towards the old butler. Unfortunately, before he got close, he was kicked to the ground by Fang Baihua, and the dagger in his hand flew out, and then he was kicked by Fang Baihua. Stamped on the chest, unable to move.

That Jiang Ying was nimble, and flew out of the lobby door, but just as she went out, she was punched unconscious by a fat monk who was waiting at the door, and then she was brought in like an eagle catching a chick.

The three of them were brought up in front of Zhao Hao, and the one who was thrown down by Zhao Dian was still a little lucky, and he shouted for being wronged, and Zhao Hao knocked out two front teeth with a punch, and then he calmed down.

Without too many interrogation methods, the three of them obediently confessed quickly, but the three of them were not directly ordered by Gao Qiu, and they couldn't ask the real mastermind behind it... But for Zhao Hao, this is not important anymore.

The three of them were beaten by the Zhao family until their legs were shattered and broken, and they were thrown on the street. According to the medical skills at that time, those legs were determined not to be able to stand up again, so they could only beg along the street.

Zhao Hao didn't want to exterminate this kind of ant-like villain, he only wanted to get rid of Gao Qiu.

***********
Winter to spring.

The spring is cold, and the Bianliang officials and people who are accustomed to being rich and flamboyant, braved the rather bitter cold, and there are already many BMW incense cars going out on the banks of the Bian River outside the city, decorating willow branches, and offering incense in Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. , There is a high wine meeting between the pavilions and corridors.

On the Bianhe River, there are already lucrative tank boats across the river, bringing fresh food from the south, exotic treasures from overseas, silk and satin, new rice and fresh fruits, and it is very lively.

This winter, Zhao Hao's brothel chain has opened to the fourth one, with a monthly net income of nearly [-] guan, and the money is boundless, but in his heart, there is a thorn in his heart that has not been pulled out.

This thorn is Gao Qi!
The generals of the system cannot kill officials and celebrities above rank five, and Gao Qiu's mansion is heavily guarded, and Gao Qiu himself is also skilled in martial arts, so it is almost impossible to assassinate him.

After all, Gao Qi is Zhao Ji's favorite minister, and Zhao Ji has always liked to play the art of balance. Gao Qi's chess piece controls the central forbidden army, which is to prevent Tong Guan from being too powerful on the side of the warriors and to check the balance. It is also impossible for the court to move Gao Qiu.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the willow branches by the Bian River are also sprouting buds, and the spring is getting stronger.

The news came from the palace, directly reaching Zhao Hao's residence.

The officials planned to go out of the city to hunt after ten days, as a demonstration of Wenzhiwugong, and appointed Taizhong doctor and general Xuanwei Zhao Hao to accompany him on the trip.

After receiving this news, Zhao Hao felt like a treasure in his heart.

The opportunity to get rid of Gao Lian finally came!
