General, please be a loyal minister!

Shiba walked slowly into the courtroom and stood beside Han Zhao. Noticing that Han Zhao was looking at him, he turned his head and smiled at Han Zhao, as if to say: Nineteen, I didn't expect that.

Han Zhao ignored him and looked away.

Tingwei began to interrogate: "Who is the visitor?"

Eighteen turned his head and replied docilely: "Eighteen."

Ting Wei: "Do you know the person next to you?"

Eighteen: "Know."

"What is his identity?"

"He and I are the same assassins supported by Prime Minister Yan Huan of the new dynasty, and he is dedicated to doing ulterior things for him. He is ranked under me at nineteen."

"How to prove what you said?"

"Every assassin has his ranking tattooed on his collarbone. If you don't believe me, let's see." Shiba said as he pulled down his collar, and there was indeed a tattoo on his collarbone, which could be vaguely recognized as Xiaozuan's. eighteen".

Tingwei ordered: "Come here, check Han Zhao's collarbone."

The yamen servant stepped forward and opened Han Zhao's skirt. There was no tattoo, but there was a scald the same size as the tattoo. Although the original appearance could not be seen, it could be known that Han Zhao had something here.

Faced with Ting Wei's questioning, Han Zhao did not deny it, and confirmed his identity as "Nineteen".

Shiba continued to explain: "He fled because of a crime eight years ago, and was found by our people. In order to survive, he was willing to do meticulous work and provide all kinds of information for the prime minister."

"Through him, Yan Huan has known everything about Liangzhou like the back of his hand these years, that's why you have repeatedly fought and failed in the battle of Dongchu."

There is one thing to say, and this statement is quite far-fetched. There are causes and effects to follow before and after Liangzhou's defeat in these years: poor resources, insufficient troops, and obvious internal fighting.

The weather is not right, the location is not right, and the hearts of the people are not in harmony.Heaven, earth and man are all unprepared, so it would be strange to win.However, some people like to attribute their own strength problems to other reasons.

Shiba also said: "There should be a secret correspondence with Yan Huan hidden in his mansion, maybe we can find it."

Han Zhao didn't know what letters were in his mansion, but since he said so, it's not impossible to put something in a place he doesn't know based on the second master's ability.

Ting Wei cast his gaze at Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji replied in a stern voice, "I don't know."

Those sent to search soon returned, but found nothing.

Shiba's expression was a little surprised. They did put "evidence", but they didn't expect it to be taken away.Han Zhao noticed the change in Shiba's expression, and guessed that it should be Jing Xiu's handwriting.

Not surprisingly, there are things in these letters that will cause violent turmoil in Liangzhou.

Facing Wei Ting's questioning, Shiba explained: "It may also be that Shijiu has already destroyed the letter."

Ting Wei turned to ask Han Zhao: "Han Zhao, tell me honestly, what information have you leaked these years? Is it related to you that Dou Xiao was able to repeatedly defeat the Liangzhou army? You had a close personal relationship with Yu Wenxun. Was he also involved?"

Tingwei's angry look made Han Zhao feel a little ridiculous: Why don't you want to admit other people's abilities?

"I've said everything I need to say, and I have nothing to say about the rest."

"Han Zhao, you have conclusive evidence of the crime. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for torture." Tingwei refused to stop, and he hadn't obtained the information he wanted from the interrogation.

What they want is not to sentence Han Zhao to death, but to try to find a confession from Han Zhao that they can use, preferably information that can tear Yu Wenxun off the horse...

It's a pity that Liu Xuan's attention left them little room for manipulation, so they could only interrogate honestly.

Song Ye spoke at this time: "Young Master, Han Zhaoming is stubborn, and he is afraid that he will not be punished and refuses to speak."

Liu Xuan shook his head and sighed, "After all, Han Zhao once taught lone riding and archery, I can't see him being punished." These words are a bit too hypocritical and hypocritical, but as long as Liu Xuan disagrees, Song Ye can't pass him in the courtroom to Han Zhao. Sentence.

It is normal to torture prisoners during the interrogation process. Song Ye did not expect Liu Xuan to object. He noticed that Liu Xuan's attitude towards Han Zhao was unusual. Could it be because of Zhao Ji?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji lowered his eyes, showing no expression that could show his thoughts.

Song Ye refused to give up. He wanted to prove some conjectures by punishing Han Zhao, namely: Zhao Ji did not have any mentoring relationship with Han Zhao as he said.

"Then please avoid the young master."

Liu Xuan just refused to let them touch Han Zhao: "Let's try another day."

Song Ye: "Young Master——"

Liu Xuan interrupted him and changed the subject: "Prime Minister, it's not that you haven't concluded the matter of seeking orphans and discussing it yesterday. It happens that the relevant people are all present today, so let's discuss it in time. The irrelevant people will step down."

Song Ye paid more attention to what Liu Xuan said than Han Zhao, so he stopped persuading him.

Hearing Liu Xuan's order, those who did not participate in the discussion in Liu Xuan's mouth left one after another. Han Zhao was also taken down by the yamen servants. When Zhao Ji got up and was about to leave, Liu Xuan stopped him: "Zhao Ji, you stay here."

Song Ye's face froze when he heard that Liu Xuan had left Zhao Ji, and looked a little nervous.

After the hall was cleared, Liu Xuan opened his mouth and said to Zhao Ji: "Zhao Ji. The Prime Minister and the other Qing family thought that Han Zhao is your master after all, and worried that you would be disturbed by the sudden blow and would not be able to take on the big task of this expedition. They wanted to assign someone else to go. What do you have to say?"

"There must be delays in changing generals before the battle. Besides, I just said in the court that Han Zhao and I have no teacher-student relationship. The heart of killing the enemy for the country will not change for such a trivial matter."

Zhao Ji's answer was perfect. Liu Xuan didn't know what Mr. Han said to Zhao Ji yesterday, but he knew that Zhao Ji had made a choice and would try his best to fulfill it.

Liu Xuan did not comment on these words, and threw the question to Song Ye: "How does the prime minister think of General Zhao's answer?"

Liu Xuan's pretentious question made Song Ye quite depressed: what does he think?Liu Xuanming pretended to believe in Zhao Ji, what's the use of saying that Zhao Ji is not innocent now?Don't you just want him to speak to prove Zhao Ji's innocence?

Song Ye said: "General Zhao's achievements for Liangzhou and for the young master are obvious to all. Naturally, I will not doubt General Zhao."

Liu Xuan asked Zhao Ji again: "Then how do you respond to other people's doubts about your abilities?"

Zhao Ji replied loudly: "I would like to issue a military order to punish the crime according to the military law if no target is taken in March."

These words are very powerful. If it were any other person in Liangzhou, he would not dare to guarantee that with his current combat power, he would be able to win a big victory within three months.

This guarantee makes others dare not speak out to doubt Zhao Ji, after all, they don't have the guts to take their own lives as such a guarantee.

Liu Xuan was also very surprised.

Will there be too little time in March?

He didn't doubt Zhao Ji's ability, but he was afraid that Zhao Ji would push himself too hard.

Before Liu Xuan could speak, Song Ye clasped his hands and sighed: "General Zhao is so brave, let my nephew go out with the army and serve by General Zhao's side."

The nephew he said was the one he wanted to recommend to replace Zhao Ji.It is said to serve, but in fact it is to monitor and replace Zhao Ji when he has not completed the military order.

Zhao Ji hated someone filling his army with people, so he immediately refused: "No need!"

His attitude is very firm, but the matter has developed to such a point that this decision is beyond his refusal. If Zhao Ji's army does not accept the "supervision" of the family, then they will have sufficient reasons and positions not to support Zhao Ji's sending troops.

Knowing that, Zhao Ji still chose to express his attitude.

In the end, the matter was decided as Song Ye said.After the discussion, Liu Xuan dismissed everyone and left Zhao Ji alone to talk.

The two had quarreled yesterday, so it was a little awkward to be alone at this time, and after sitting for a while, no one spoke.

In the end it was Liu Xuan who spoke: "I know you are blaming me for allowing them to convict Mr. Han. I don't want to talk about the truth inside, you understand it all. You will go to war the day after tomorrow, and I will not lead troops to fight. I'm not qualified to give you advice, I just want to tell you that after you leave, I will keep Mr. Han safe."

Zhao Ji didn't respond, he didn't believe Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan smiled wryly: "Come on, since you don't believe me, let you hand this over to Mr. Han." He then threw a token to Zhao Zi.

"I will arrange the guards of the prison for you. You can go to see Mr. Han now."

Zhao Ji recognized Liu Xuan's badge in his hand, the one he swore he would never lend him again no matter what.

With this "Young Master's Order", you can freely enter and leave anywhere in Liangzhou, and it is easy to escape from Liangzhou.Liu Xuan's attitude is obvious: since Zhao Ji doesn't believe him, then he will let Mr. Han go, he should always trust Mr. Han's ability.

Zhao Ji's throat twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say the reassurance stuck in his throat, just got up and left with the token.

He will not forgive Liu Xuan for what he did to Han Zhao because of this token, but he will reflect his reward on the battlefield.

All the way to Han Zhao's cell, Han Zhao was still sitting in the same position as yesterday.Zhao Ji whispered to Han Zhao through the railing: "Master, I'm going to war."

Han Zhao gave Zhao Ji an eight-character warning: "Keep away from arrogance and impetuosity, stay calm."

Zhao Ji nodded: "I understand."

Zhao Ji handed the token Liu Xuan gave to Han Zhao: "Master, after I leave, you should also leave Liangzhou, and I will go to you after I finish the battle."

Han Zhao recognized that this was the "Young Lord's Order". He held the token in silence for a while, chuckled, and put it in his arms: "Got it."

Even though Zhao Ji was a little relieved seeing Han Zhao accepting the token, the knot in his heart was not at all relieved. Han Zhao used his safety to protect his status, which made him feel useless.

Zhao Ji also wanted to say some words of nostalgia to Han Zhao, but there was not enough time for him to say so much at this moment, and finally he only said three words: "I'm leaving."

Han Zhao nodded.

Zhao Ji turned to leave, and at the same time made up his mind: When he returns, he must clean the Liangzhou court.He will do what Liu Xuan dare not do, and he will bear the infamy that Liu Xuan dare not bear.No matter how bloody and reproachful the method is, he will get rid of these loyal ministers, and then bring Han Zhao back in a fair manner.

Not long after Zhao Ji left, a figure in pale clothes walked slowly into the prison, approaching Han Zhao's cell, and his figure gradually became clear—it was Jing Xiu who hadn't shown up for a few days.
