princess regent lifted from her grave

At that time, Zhao Guilin and Zhao Yunshang had left half an hour earlier than the other young masters and ladies.

It was within this half hour that the two met the robber hiding in the dark.

The carriage drove as usual,

Of course,

This group of robbers suddenly jumped out and blocked the way of the carriage. There were about ten people in this group of robbers. Each of them was holding a sword. Even if their faces were covered with black scarves, they could not hide their fierce eyes. They were all from the world. dress up,

Zhao Yunshang looked at their costumes, trying to match those rumors, and fainted from fright.

Zhao Guilin managed to hold on to his senses and started fighting with the robbers along with the three boys who followed him.

However, they are outnumbered, and besides, there are actually a few of these people who are very skilled. How can the four of them be the opponents of this group of people?

Not long after, Zhao Guilin and the boys were captured. Later, the three boys were beaten extremely badly by the robbers and they immediately passed out. Zhao Guilin was also a little frightened when he saw this.

He wanted to seek help, but found that all the pedestrians and carriages on this road had already disappeared.

Zhao Guilin was extremely desperate at the time. He did not expect that these robbers would encounter them, and he did not expect that their gang would be so rampant in broad daylight under the emperor's feet.

Zhao Guilin had heard about these robbers for a long time. Not only he had heard about it, but other young ladies also knew about it.

The previous rumors, without exception, were all about gangs of robbers robbing homes at nightfall. What was even worse was that the people who were robbed were either hacked to death or sold beautiful women into brothels.

In short, everyone who heard the news was frightened and uneasy. For this reason, the officials also patrolled several times at night. Perhaps due to the deterrence of the officials, the gang of robbers did not appear again. Everyone thought that these robbers had not appeared again. The robbers had already been scared away, and besides, these robbers all acted after nightfall, which did not prevent the gentlemen and young ladies from going to the outskirts of the country during the day. Those who were less timid were followed by many guards.

At that time, after Shangguan Ze heard his subordinates reporting the matter, he ordered Leng Ming to send a few people to investigate. After a period of secret investigation, the so-called robbers were not found.

After that, Shangguan Ze withdrew his people, but the rumors of these robbers were still mentioned among the young men and young ladies.

Zhao Guilin returned home early today. It was because his sister suddenly felt unwell, so they returned to the house earlier. They thought they would return home smoothly as usual, but they unexpectedly encountered robbers. Zhao Guilin had already been frightened by those shocking rumors. Pale,

After Zhao Guilin was captured, the robber asked him to hand over all the money he had.

After Zhao Guilin handed over all the money, he was punched by the robbers again. Zhao Guilin couldn't bear it and fell to the ground. One of the robbers stepped on Zhao Guilin's head. Above, Zhao Guilin was immediately furious. This great anger even exceeded the fright in his heart. As the son of the prime minister, when had Zhao Guilin ever been so humiliated?

At this time, he saw with his own eyes that his sister was dragged out of the carriage by this group of people, trying to take off his sister's clothes and do something unethical.

Zhao Guilin's eyes were scarlet and filled with hatred. He could only shout angrily to ask them to stop attacking his sister, but to no avail. Most of Zhao Yunshang's clothes had been taken off, and the sharp sword in front of him wanted to kill him.

Just when Zhao Guilin was helpless and desperate, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie appeared in time like saviors.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie quickly came forward with swords in hand. How could this group of people be the opponents of the two brothers Zhao Jie and Zhao Yuan, who were highly skilled in martial arts? Everyone was killed, and not even a single person was left alive.

When one of them was about to die, he looked at Zhao Jie and Zhao Jie in disbelief, as if he did not expect that these two people would act like this.

Perhaps they would not close their eyes until death, so why did they end up killing them all after promising cooperation at the beginning?

How did they know that in Zhao Jie's eyes, only the dead can keep secrets? The high reward Zhao Jie promised them before was simply a lie. Facing some dying people, they maximized their gold and silver chips. No matter how excited he is, for Zhao Jie, this is just a matter of words, so what's the difficulty.

When people are at their most desperate, they are so grateful when they meet a noble person who descended from the sky and pulled him out of the swamp. Such is the case with Zhao Guilin.

Zhao Guilin had already placed the two of them in a very high position in his heart. In addition, Zhao Jie and Zhao Yuan showed their indifference to fame and fortune and their aloof temperament, which attracted Zhao Guilin even more.

After the rescued Zhao Guilin received some persuasion and comfort from Zhao Jie, the fear and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

In the end, they recognized the two as adopted brothers, which greatly exceeded Zhao Jie's expectations.

Of course, Zhao Jie is not worried about Prime Minister Zhao secretly investigating those robbers. After all, these people are people from the Jianghu who Zhao Jie personally found. They usually do some stupid things and are not afraid of Prime Minister Zhao investigating. To find out the truth as soon as possible, we also deliberately put some clues on these people.

Zhao Jie took great pains to get close to Prime Minister Zhao's house. Even the medicine he gave Zhao Yunshang was calculated according to the time. Fortunately, in the end, it was exactly as he estimated.

Zhao Jie kept thinking about these things on the way to the study, and quickly checked in his mind whether there were any omissions.

Not long after, the three of them came to the door of Prime Minister Zhao's study.

Zhao Guilin took the lead and walked forward and knocked on his father's door. A majestic and deep voice came from inside, "Come in."

Only then did Zhao Guilin push open the door with Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie.

At this time, Mr. Zhao, who was sitting in front of the desk and had not yet had time to take off his official uniform, had a serious face and sharp eyes. He was not angry and intimidating, and his momentum was particularly compelling. He first glanced at Zhao Guilin and saw that his son was intact. His sharp eyes He glanced at Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie again, and finally turned back to Zhao Guilin, saying in a deep voice,

"Tell the story in detail."

Even though Zhao Guilin was eloquent and looked very free and easy in front of Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie, he was extremely honest in front of Prime Minister Zhao and would not do anything that went beyond the rules.

Zhao Guilin told Mr. Zhao what happened in detail, and even praised Zhao Jie and Zhao Yuan for their timely rescue, and Zhao Yunshang's innocence was almost ruined by the robbers. Zhao Guilin had nothing to do with it. He told it in a concealed manner, and in the end he identified his savior as the second brother, and also told the story about the third brother.

Prime Minister Zhao glanced at his son, and then looked at Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jie, his expression was gentler than before, and he said,

"The two young masters are the saviors of Lin Er and Yun Shang, and they are even more kind to the Zhao family. Now they have become Xiao'er's adopted brothers. The new year is approaching and I am busy with political affairs. If the two young masters are not in a hurry, After leaving, you can stay in the house for a while longer and let Lin'er treat you two well, which also fulfills my gratitude as a father. I wonder what the two young masters think?"

Zhao Jie looked embarrassed and before he could respond, Zhao Guilin looked happy and said,

"Second brother, third brother, my father has already spoken. Just stay here with peace of mind. I will definitely entertain you well. Now that the new year is approaching, the Holy Capital City is particularly lively. You two brothers can stay and see what's new, especially on New Year's Eve. The fireworks at night are the most splendid, and this is a spectacle that only happens once a year, so it would be a pity to miss it.”
