Chivalry Cultivation System

Chapter 521
Wei Zhongxian said, "It's so-called knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing one's heart. Since Mr. Zhao has an excellent official reputation, why did he stay in the capital for only one year? How many secrets are there that are not known to outsiders?"

Liu Ting said: "The fourth brother is right! Although Mr. Zhao is nearly seventy years old, he is still in good health. He has always been keen on fame and fortune. He finally sat on the throne of the capital, but he resigned from his post. No one's advice will be effective. During this period Maybe there is something else tricky?"

Xiao Xiaomo said: "With this speculation, maybe there are some unknown reasons. I think the reason for Mr. Zhao's retirement from official career may not be simple."

Tang Hezheng sighed: "Perhaps it is because I have received Master Zhao's support and kindness that I have no doubts about Master Zhao. Now, after listening to everyone's words, I also feel that there are many doubts about Master Zhao's retirement. Then third brother, what do you plan to do?" Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Xiaomo said: "One is to tell the current lord of the capital, Shen Yiguan, about the case, get his support, and expose Master Zhao's crimes to the emperor; second, the four of us directly interview Master Zhao in private to confirm whether what Zheng Gui said is true !"

Liu Ting said: "I think it's better for us to visit Mr. Zhao privately. If this incident alarms Mr. Shen, it will be really difficult!"

Wei Zhongxian and Tang Hezheng both nodded in agreement, and Xiao Xiaomo had no choice but to agree.

Tang Hezheng suggested that Xiao Xiaomo not show up for the time being, and Tiyi and the three of them go together, meaning to check Master Zhao's tone first.

This is also a good way. Even if Mr. Zhao is in trouble suddenly, I have a systematic monitoring function that can take a panoramic view of the whole process of their conversation. At that time, I will rush to rescue them immediately, and there is still time!
Xiao Xiaomo thought about it, and agreed again and again, but still told them to be careful!
Liu Ting said with a smile: "Isn't it just a grown-up who has passed away? Could it be that his place is still a dragon's pool and a tiger's den? Don't worry, I will protect them, and no one will hurt them!"

Wei Zhongxian sneered: "If the second brother can't protect us, then we won't call him Liu Dadao, but Liu Xiaodao."

The mansion of Zhao Zhi, the former Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was in the Maoer Alley on the East Street of Shuntian City. Tang Hezheng and the other three left the General’s Mansion and walked west along the street for half a stick of incense. Outside the mansion gate.

Wei Zhongxian knocked on the door, and after a long time, a thin old man who looked like a housekeeper came to open the door.

This man is an old slave in Zhao's residence, known as Butler Zhao, he yawned, and looked sleepily at the people standing outside the door. After seeing it, he couldn't help being startled, and exclaimed:

"Ah! Eunuch Wei... ah! Master Shangshu, Lord Liu, what day is it tonight, please come to our Zhao residence with the three of you big men?"

Wei Zhongxian said loudly: "In short, there is a good thing to take care of your master. Although it is a good thing, it is also an urgent matter, so we bought money to visit your master. You need to explain the inconvenience to your master. Hurry up and report to your family. sir!"

At this time, one more day has passed, Zhao Zhi is an old man, he must have already gone to bed!No matter what happened, it was always wrong to wake up an old man who was nearly seventy years old from his sleep.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian asked Steward Zhao to apologize to Zhao Zhidai.

Butler Zhao apologized and went to invite his master, Zhao Zhi, while Tang Hezheng and the other three waited and watched the full moon like a big jade basin outside the door for a while.

The gray-haired Zhao Zhi came to welcome them with several servants.

It is definitely not easy for the host to ask the guests why they came, so as not to be suspected of leaving the guests.

Tang Hezheng is a mature and prudent person, he guessed that the things he will say are not trivial, and he felt that he should try his best to avoid more people knowing.So he suggested that Zhao Zhi greet them in the study.

Zhao Zhi readily agreed with his proposal, and after bringing the three of them to the study, he instructed his confidant maid, Dai Er, to make four bowls of fragrant tea, so that they left after everything was ready.

Zhao Zhi took a sip of the teacup first, then smiled and said: "I thought that after I resigned from office, the people in the court would have completely forgotten about me, I never imagined that the three of you will come to visit together tonight, isn't it really a great honor! We are all good friends, why don't you try the fragrant tea from my hometown?"

To be honest, the three of them walked together and waited for a long time outside the gate of the Zhao Mansion, their throats were already filled with smoke, and now they heard that the host asked them to taste Changxiang tea, and everyone drank all the tea in their cups immediately.

Wei Zhongxian asked coldly: "Doesn't the capital Zhao know our reason for coming?"

Zhao Zhi didn't answer but asked instead: "Aren't you here to chat with me to relieve loneliness?"

Wei Zhongxian froze for a moment, and said, "No!"

After Zhao Zhi heard these two words, his old face that was originally full of hope was instantly shrouded in boundless loneliness.

Then he asked, "Then what is it for?"

Liu Ting said coldly: "For your young cousin Zheng Kui in Zhao Capital!"

Zhao Zhi sighed, "What happened to Zheng Kui?"

Tang Hezheng said: "He committed a crime, and now he is in our custody, ready to kill him at any time—"

Zhao Zhi's face was full of loneliness, and he murmured, "Death crime?"

Wei Zhongxian said coldly: "Arbitrarily rape women, and even eat the brains of the fetuses in women's womb... If such evil deeds are not considered capital crimes, isn't it the law of heaven?"

Liu Ting said: "And he has confessed everything, and he also pointed out that these bad things he did were all ordered by you, the adult, and that the person who really ate the brain of the fetus is you, Chief Zhao."

Tang Hezheng said: "Of course we don't believe that you would do such an inhumane thing, so we all went to the house to inquire." "

Zhao Zhi was surprisingly calm, as if he was listening to someone else talk about something that had nothing to do with him.

He asked calmly: "Gui Zheng is my man. Even if he does harm to the world, few people in today's world would dare to arrest him. I don't know which one of the three of you did it?"

After listening, the three looked at each other.

Liu Ting said: "When I passed by Changxi, I discovered Gui Gui's evil deeds and arrested him according to law... I hope you will forgive me for offending my lord?"

Zhao Zhi nodded, and asked again: "Apart from the three of you, no one else knows about this?"

Wei Zhongxian rushed to say: "No one else will know."

The other two also nodded, it would be good not to involve Xiao Xiaomo in this matter.

Tang Hezheng said: "We all agree that this is entirely Zheng Gui's intentional blaming on you in order to survive. This is mainly to learn more about Zheng Gui's crimes."

Zhao Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, you are all wrong. Ghost Zheng is right. All the bad things he did were instigated by my cousin, including things like eating fetuses from cesarean pregnant women."

Wei Zhongxian shouted: "It's best if you admit it. Now you come to Dali Temple with us to surrender. It can be considered as a little bit of responsibility on your part!"
