Chapter 114 Asking for help


Chapter 114 Asking for help
"Is this happening?" In the box, the two friends all changed their faces, realizing the difficulty of the problem.

When Feng Ju falsely accused Li Yanfu, anyone with a discerning eye could detect something was wrong.

After a little more probing, it is not difficult to guess the role played by Zhao Duan.

However, the officials instinctively believed that this was another small game between the empress and the prime minister, and everyone saw through it but did not say anything.

Xia Jianghou was not surprised to find out.

But no one thought that the dust had settled long ago, and the past would be revealed again.

"Why is this? Then Zhao Duan has offended Xia Jianghou?"

The slightly fat literati wondered:

"I have never heard of any interaction between the two parties."

The middle-aged man wearing a futou said in a deep voice: "Have you two forgotten, Princess Yunyang? Just as it happened, before I came over at noon, I heard from a friend that Zhao Duan's car on Zhuque Street was seriously damaged this morning. The princess's sedan chair stopped, and Marquis Xia Jiang seemed to be there.

At first I thought it was a rumor, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's true. "

The fat scholar was startled: "Brother Changfeng, do you mean that Xia Jianghou did this to please Princess Yunyang before he took action against Zhao Duan?

Yes, Xia Jianghou has always been likened to a nobleman, with his eyes above his head, ruthless and ruthless, and it is said that he does a lot of dirty things under his hands. This is really what he can do. "

The middle-aged man Futou analyzed:

"Zhao Duan has made many achievements recently and is favored by saints. It will not be easy for Marquis Xia Jiang to deal with him.

The matter of suing the Prime Minister is an opportunity. As long as the elder brother is forced to bite back, reverse the case, and make it public that it is Zhao Duan who deliberately framed the accusation, then the 'Li Party' will definitely help. It happens that the two sides have enmity... In this way, With solid evidence of guilt, even His Majesty would find it difficult to show partiality. "

Feng Ju's face was extremely ugly and he didn't say a word.

Obviously, he has thought through this level as well.

The fat scholar said: "However, once the verdict is reversed, let alone Xia Jianghou, whether he will abide by the agreement and release the jade intact. But Brother Bo will offend both the Death Saint and the Prime Minister at the same time, let alone Zhao Duan , it is said that he will be punished... In this case, is there any way to survive? "

Dead end!

The three of them are all smart people. With a simple analysis, they can judge how bad the situation is.

If Feng Ju disobeys, his biological daughter will be gone.

If you follow it, you will become a complete outcast, and the end will not be good either.

This is the helplessness of little people, who have no chance to survive in the cracks.

Feng Ju's eyes were red and he said in a low voice:

"My mind is in a mess right now and I don't know what to do. So I'm urgently looking for two brothers to meet and help me think of something..."

The two friends looked troubled, and the three of them even became friends. However, like Feng Ju, they were of low status, with no power and no big family behind them.

How to fight a hereditary marquis?
Even if you want to find a relationship, send gifts and beg for mercy, you can't find a way!
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

The fat scholar thought for a while and said: "Since you have surrendered to the imperial party, why not seek the blessing of a saint?"

Feng Ju smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"With our identities, how can we talk to His Majesty? What's more, I have no evidence of kidnapping. I only know that my little girl is missing, and Marquis Xia Jiang only sent a servant to deliver a message. How can I prove it?"

He still had something to say:
It involves a hereditary marquis and a eldest princess... Will the members of the royal party he knows really offend these two people for him?
I am afraid that the news will not be delivered to the palace at all, and will be lost in the middle.

The slightly fat literati was filled with indignation:

"In my opinion, why not go directly to the government office and report to the Dali Temple! A sixth-grade official is also an official of the court. How can he threaten a nobleman without official status at will? Where is the face of the court?"

The middle-aged man in Futou smiled bitterly: "Brother Zigu, please don't say angry words. How can the government dare to accept it? As for Dali Temple, don't forget that the minister of Dali Temple and the Prime Minister are also very close. In my opinion, If you have to find someone, there is someone who can.”

"Who?" They both looked at each other at the same time.

"Zhao Duan!"

The middle-aged man Futou spit out this name and looked at Feng Ju:

"Brother Bo, please don't forget that in this case, you and he are a grasshopper on the same rope. If you reverse the case, he will also suffer. And in the final analysis, this matter also started because of him, and he should solve it. "

Feng Ju's eyes suddenly lit up!
That’s right, if Zhao Duan is willing to take action, with his personal connections, if he just says a word to His Majesty, his predicament will be solved.

Just now, he was so anxious and confused that he didn't expect it.

Next to him, the fat scholar shook his head:

"Will the person named Zhao help? It is said that he is evil-minded and cruel, and is not a kind person.

He just wants to come to the door for help. When he learns about this, he can make other preparations. He can even fall out and send Brother Bo to prison, or tie him up and send him to Xia Jianghou, in an attempt to repair the relationship...

What can't a traitor like that do? On the contrary, rescuing people is laborious and useless, and you also have to worry about your elder brother defecting to Xia Jianghou and jumping around repeatedly..."

Feng Ju's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Yes, with Zhao Duan's character, would he save him?

Or should he be ruthless and kill him directly to avoid the risk of overturning the case?
I really can’t say for sure.

It can only be said... While Zhao Duan enjoys the benefits of "villain character", he also inevitably bears the negative buff of not being trusted.

In the private room, the two friends held different opinions, but they both made sense.

Feng Ju's expression changed, and finally he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist and smashed the table with force, and said:

"I'm going to beg Zhao Duan!"

Feng Ju, who loves his daughter eagerly, cannot afford to delay:

"Compared to Xia Jianghou's credibility, I would rather bet on Zhao being merciful!"

When the two friends saw this, they were silent for a while, and the fat scholar stopped talking.

The middle-aged man in Futou reminded: "If you go, remember not to threaten him or say anything like, you are in the same boat, and he will not feel good if you are unlucky.

He is not required to go to His Majesty, just tell him clearly and ask him to take action.

By the way, it's best to meet in private or deliver a letter. Marquis Xia Jiang will definitely send someone to keep an eye on your every move, so be careful. "

Feng Li stood up and nodded heavily: "I understand." With his mind, he didn't want to be reminded.

But now that the mood is high and the rationality is low, two good friends are needed to help.

Afternoon, Ewha Hall.

Zhao Duan did not take a nap, but looked through the information on "Xia Jianghou" from the Yamen.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Compared to the eldest princess who had no real power and only knew how to control men, he felt that this prince was a greater threat.

"Tsk, tsk, it's really not that simple."

After reading the information, Zhao Duan was filled with emotion and understood why this guy was so popular.

According to internal file descriptions, Xia Jianghou entered the realm of martial arts gods ten years ago.

Although it is suspected that he hired a strong person for initiation and assistance to overcome the obstacles, he is considered a "parallel martial artist" by the empress.

But the realm is there, no matter how good the foundation is, there is no shortage of powerful martial arts.

"No wonder you have the confidence to stop me in the street." Zhao Duan shook his head gently.

In addition, the file also records that Xia Jianghou is suspected of controlling gang industries in the capital.

He is the boss behind the largest gang in Beijing, the "Honghua Club".

There is light and darkness in the world.

Zhao Duan studied history in his previous life and was curious about why gangs were repeatedly banned. Not to mention the famous "Cao Gang" and "Salt Gang" in history... because they involved huge interests.

There are countless local gangs in various places.

Later I realized that the feudal dynasty had weak control over the grassroots, and the tentacles of imperial power could not penetrate deep into the streets.

But the operation of society does require "governance" at the bottom to maintain a certain order.

Clan forces dominate the countryside, while populous cities give gangs room to survive.

Although it is somewhat counter-intuitive, gangs can exist because of human nature and profit-driven factors, but on the other hand, it is also the people who need a gang to establish order.

Even bad order is better than chaos.

When there is a vacuum of light, the king of darkness will emerge.

"He has a noble status, and he also has thugs... He pretends to be aloof and unconventional in front of me, but he turns out to be a swindler behind his back."

Zhao Duan slandered.

He silently considered whether he could start with the Red Flower Club and trick Xia Jianghou.

It's not his style to just get beaten.

Anyone who has been in a group fight knows that if you squat and hold your head, praying that the besieging enemies lose interest and leave, you will only be bullied to death.

The correct way is to either shake the opponent, or catch the opponent's leader and fight back, knock the leader down, and the rest of the followers will retreat.

Princess Yunyang has a special status and cannot move for the time being.

But it’s not a big problem to deal with a hereditary marquis who has no real power, right?

"It's a bit difficult to handle. Feudal aristocrats accept tribute from gangs and provide protection. It seems difficult to implement it. It belongs to a certain degree of unspoken rules... Hidden rules can't be broken without causing big problems..."

"How about creating a big problem?"

The dark water in Zhao Duan's stomach tried to brew, but he had no clue.

Suddenly, confidential secretary Qian Kerou walked into the hall:

"Sir, under our hall, a servant handed over a letter, saying that Feng Ju, the head of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, asked him to send it. He has something extremely important to tell you."

Feng Ju?

Zhao Duan was startled and recalled that at the beginning of the time travel, the fox on the black awning boat deceived the man who was a scholar and a gentleman.

Hearing that he had been commended by the Empress and would surely rise to prominence in the future, he stopped paying attention to him.

What does the other party want to do with you?
Why not come to your door in person?
He also went around and around to ask the servants below to deliver the message.

Zhao Duan had a good impression of Feng Ju, even though the other party was deceived.

But the reason why he was able to turn the tables and survive the Zhuang Xiaocheng case was that Lao Feng's biting played a crucial role.

Zhao Duan is a man who misses his old love. Zhu Kui betrayed him, but he still gave him a decent ending.

If Lao Feng encounters difficulties, Zhao Duan doesn't mind helping him.

He immediately took the wax-sealed letter, tore it open and read it.

After a while.

His face changed slightly, he was startled at first, and a slight chill ran down his back.

"Overturning the case...a good method...if he really does it, I will still have to peel off a layer of my skin even if nothing serious happens."

Immediately, Zhao Duan was thoughtful and flicked the envelope.

He realized that the breakthrough he needed to counterattack Xia Jianghou seemed to be right in front of him.

"The Marquis can't handle kidnapping the family members of imperial officials, right?"

Correct typos first and then correct them
