Chapter 359: Capture Zhao! (2-in-1)
Suddenly, Zhao Butong stood up.
"I'd better go to those two houses and take a look around."
Having lived for two hundred years, he didn't want to get too involved in these trivial matters, but now he also noticed something was wrong, and he had to confirm it for the sake of his family.
Among a group of old guys, they were the only ones who happened to be released from seclusion.
"Old Lao clan." Zhao Boqi, the head of the family, cupped his hands and said.
"Before that, you should think about countermeasures. Soon King Cui will also know about this matter, and he will be held accountable." Zhao Butong glanced at the current head of the family and said.
"If it doesn't work, just cut it off. Even if you lose face, you must keep the family's development momentum from being affected."
"I understand." Zhao Boqi nodded.
When necessary, he will make a cut with Zhao Liang, the dead father and son.
He confessed, but this matter had nothing to do with the Zhao family. It was all about the father and son who went their own way and hid it from everyone.
In the No. 41 Banner Army camp, Yang Zhen and the other three met to drink tea.
In the past few days since they came back, the three of them spent most of the time together uneasy.
In the past, Xing Tiexin might have poured some wine on such occasions, but now he only dared to drink some tea with Yang Zhen and Song Changming, and he was considered a teetotaler.
It can be seen that during this period of time, Mrs. Zhao put a lot of pressure on him. No matter how big his heart was, he had no intention of drinking and indulging at this moment.
"Then Zhao, apart from the commotion when he first entered the city, how come he has settled down again now?" Xing Tiexin said, suddenly frowning and looking at the light green tea in the cup. He really couldn't get used to drinking this. stuff.
"Thank you, Marshal. Without him to block us, how could it be so easy?" Song Changming said casually, taking a sip from the tea cup, and a faint cooling feeling spread in his body.
Then, I felt that the mental energy consumed by the previous Qi refining practice had been replenished.
“Really good tea.”
Song Changming recalled the aroma of tea and knew that the tea he was brewing was not ordinary.
A few small pieces are worth several mid-grade spiritual crystals, and they are not available in ordinary places.
This is naturally a good thing picked out from Zhao Liang's relics.
Not to mention anything else, the effect of accelerating the recovery of mental power is better than many pills with similar effects.
After practicing, make a cup of this tea and it will be so relaxing.
Of course, there are also those who don’t know the goods, such as Xing Tiexin next to me.
"It's not that simple. In the past two days, because of our incident, it can be said that the whole city has been in turmoil. All the major families and various forces have been affected one by one." Yang Zhen seems to have channels for understanding. Does he know? Little information.
"No way, isn't this matter about us and the Zhao family?" Xing Tiexin couldn't help but say.
"It was before, but not now." Yang Zhen took a sip of tea and sighed that the tea was good before continuing.
"Now the Wang family and the Meng family have entered the scene one after another, competing with the Zhao family!"
Xing Tiexin was shocked when he heard this. Without his knowledge, the matter turned into a family dispute.
Song Changming was also a little surprised.
What surprised him was that only two days had passed, the two top families, the Wang family and the Meng family, had joined forces to deal with the Zhao family.
He knew very well that the Wang family's ability to take action depended on Wang Tianshuang's efforts.
As for the fate of the Meng family, it must be that Meng Yuan who is helping.
It's just that the battle is so big, and the three of them should have been the center of the whirlpool of this incident, but now they feel a little left out.
There must be something weird in this.
"Perhaps the reason why so many forces can be brought in is that the focus is no longer on the three of them," Song Changming thought in his mind.
It can be judged that those families and forces that are opposed to the Zhao family must have other agendas.
The affairs between the three of them are more like a lead, leading to the current turbulent situation of the family.
It is a good thing for the three of them that things have developed like this.
The Zhao family was targeted, so naturally there was no spare power to deal with the three of them.
The three of them are safe for now.
"Then the Zhao family really deserves it. It would be better if they were suppressed and just collapse and withdraw from the ranks of the top aristocratic families!" Xing Tiexin said with a mocking smile while stroking his palms.
Hearing the good news, he felt happy.
He almost died in the hands of Zhao Zun, and the entire Zhao family had no good impression. He wished that the Zhao family would directly decline.
"That's impossible. A top family like the Zhao family that has stood for thousands of years must have many powerful means to protect itself. If it falls after just one bad incident, it is no longer a top family." Yang Zhen has no expectations.
In his opinion, these top families would only be destroyed unless they made a huge mistake and were attacked by all the top local forces.
Otherwise, even if it hurts your muscles and bones, you can at most recover for a while and practice low-key cultivation for a period of time.
This was the case with this incident. Even if Wang and Meng joined forces to attack Zhao, it would not be fatal to Zhao, and it was not even a crisis.
At least, that's what Yang Zhen thinks now.
The only thing that confused him was that the Wang family and the Meng family were so tit-for-tat with the Zhao family. What did they want?
What is the real purpose of these two families?
He thought the same as Song Changming, it couldn't be just to help the three of them out of trouble.
They don't have such a big reputation to cause the two families to fight like this.
These two families must have other purposes.
If it were in the past, he, an outsider, would not be able to figure out such a big scene of family disputes, so he would not think about it.
But this time, they were in the middle of the situation, but they had to think about their escape route, for fear of accidentally stepping into a pit of fire and becoming cannon fodder among aristocratic families without even realizing it.
"That's such a pity." After hearing what Yang Zhen said, Xing Tiexin shook his head.
He wants the Zhao family to die, but the Zhao family will not really be destroyed according to his wishes.
"Even if you can see the Zhao family die in your lifetime, that would be good." Xing Tiexin muttered.
After Song Changming heard this, he couldn't help but grinned and said: "Why bother to witness it in your lifetime? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to take revenge in person!"
Xing Tiexin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right, Chang Ming, I'm not as good as you!"
Although he was ambitious, he never thought that he would be able to overthrow the Zhao family by himself in the future.
After all, there is always a limit to a person's power, how can it be compared to the power of a family twisted into a rope.
But Xing Tiexin still admired Song Changming's spontaneous confidence, absolute self-confidence and pride.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little infected when he heard this and smiled.
It might be impossible for him and Xing Tiexin, but for a guy like Song Changming who is so talented, nothing is impossible.
Ten years, twenty years, fifty years!
In their lifetime, they may really be able to witness Song Changming single-handedly destroy the family!
This is something that no one else dares to think about.
"No, one day, I will also contribute!" Yang Zhen left a thought to himself.
After that, another three days passed.
Every piece of black information and evil deeds about the Zhao family surfaced for unknown reasons, or were dug up by people with ulterior motives, and began to spread in the city.
Even the common people at the bottom began to talk about those things.
In this way, no matter what the outcome is, the reputation of the Zhao family and the face of the family cannot be saved at all.
As for Zhao's past crimes that were unearthed, the minor ones were sent to the government in batches, while the major ones were sent to the palace.
After hearing this, even Song Changming lamented that the methods between the aristocratic families were really cruel.
If you don't move, it will be fine. If you move, it will hit you like a sudden storm, making you suffocating. Some of the crimes that were reported sounded so outrageous that Song Changming couldn't tell the truth from the truth.
Under the "supervision" of the Wang family and the Meng family, one by one of the Zhao clan members who came to light had to be taken away for questioning by officials from the royal palace or the government.
Among them are many important members of the Zhao family.
This day.
Wang Tianshuang summoned twelve generals under his command at the military camp.
Naturally, Song Changming and Yang Zhen were also included.
"Order a thousand soldiers and follow me."
Song Changming didn't know why and glanced at Yang Zhen who was following Wang Tianshuang.
A thousand soldiers are not many, and they are obviously not going to cause big trouble.
But he summoned all the generals, twelve chief generals, and many deputy generals.
It can be said that the elite and strong men in the army are all out, which seems to be no small matter.
Wang Tianshuang said nothing. After ordering his troops, he headed towards the core city.
Song Changming's heart moved and he made some guesses.
Shouldn't we be facing the Zhao family today?
Send troops to the Zhao family?
This direction seems to be heading to Zhao Mansion.
Xing Tiexin also realized this immediately and couldn't help but look at Song Changming next to him.
They were a little unsure whether today was the commander's own decision or a decision made on behalf of the palace.
The troops sent to the Zhao Mansion, no matter how you say it, this is not a small matter.
In the eyes of outsiders who don't know the situation, this is a very serious signal.
It will make them speculate that the Zhao family's sins are so heinous that the palace cannot stand it and is determined to completely suppress the Zhao family!
But Song Changming felt that this might not be the case.
If we really want to suppress the Zhao family, we will not only send out a thousand troops.
The Forty-Eighth Cui Banner Army, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals, is stationed in the main city area.
The Zhao family is not a small character that everyone can bully. If they really want to suppress it, they will definitely have to send out a large army, not such a small fight.
Moreover, launching a war in the main city would also be a huge harm to the entire main city of Cuibai.
God knows if the entire Cuibai main city will still exist after suppressing the Zhao clan.
"There must be another purpose." Song Changming was sure of this.
But no matter how things develop, the Zhao family will definitely suffer another heavy blow today.
Soon, Wang Tianshuang led people outside the Zhao Mansion.
A thousand elite soldiers were behind him, ready and full of murderous intent.
A deacon of the Zhao family hurriedly walked out of the house, bowed his hands in a panic, and asked cautiously.
"Commander, what is this?"
Wang Tianshuang had a cold face and did not answer. Wang Shifu, the flag owner on the side, stepped forward and spread out an official document.
"The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Boqi, is suspected of colluding with the demon clan, murdering military generals, and many other crimes. The palace has issued an order, asking the head of the Zhao family to go to trial!"
The words in Wang Shifu's words were cold and stiff, leaving no room for doubt.
The roar was not meant for the deacon of the Zhao family in front of him, but for everyone in the entire Zhao family.
A stone caused a thousand waves, and almost everyone inside and outside the Zhao Mansion heard it clearly.
A meeting hall in Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Boqi's face was extremely ugly, and his hands turned white when he pinched his wide sleeves.
The air pressure in the entire assembly hall suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"Bastard!" Zhao Boqi couldn't help shouting, and veins popped out on his forehead.
It can be seen that he has tried his best to control his temper, but he is still annoyed by the continuous events these days.
Today, the other party even came to look for trouble and provoked her!
"What on earth is this Wang Tianshuang going to do!" A senior member of the Zhao family yelled angrily.
Outside the mansion, Wang Tianshuang saw that there was no movement at the door of the mansion, so he didn't wait any longer.
With a wave of his hand, a thousand elite soldiers would break down the door and rush in.
They were able to arrest people under the orders of the palace, and they were confident. Anyone who dared to stop them would only be punished with a higher degree of guilt.
At the gate of the mansion, a group of family generals and Zhao clan members gathered, feeling at a loss when they saw the elite soldiers who were really about to break in.
"This, what should I do?"
"Wait a minute!" Seeing the elite soldiers entering, a sudden explosion was heard, which made the eardrums of the elite soldiers hurt and their heads were buzzing.
Even some generals turned pale and some were unsteady on their feet.
Song Changming looked towards the door of the mansion, and saw that the Zhao family members who were blocking the door quickly separated into two sides, and a group of people walked out.
The person at the head of the list is none other than the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Boqi.
"Give me the official document." Zhao Boqi said with a cold face, and without waiting for Wang Shifu's reaction, he reached out and grabbed it from the air.
The official document was caught by Zhao Boqi.
With a quick glance, he confirmed that this was indeed the arrest warrant from the palace.
But he also knew very well that behind this arrest warrant was actually the result of the failure of Zhao's game!
"Wang Tianshuang, it's a good idea. Let's lead the way." Zhao Boqi said calmly, he had no other choice.
No matter how powerful he, the head of the Zhao family, is, he cannot openly challenge the majesty of the palace at this moment, otherwise the Zhao family's situation will only become more unfavorable.
Wang Tianshuang smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Zhao Boqi's ability to bend and stretch was beyond his expectation. Although the arrest of the head of the Zhao family would be a heavy blow to him and the prestige of the entire Zhao family, it was still better than the result of disobeying orders.
Of course, he would not recognize any of the crimes that had been committed against him.
And he also knew very well that Wang Tianshuang was just bluffing and disgusting him.
Among the children of the aristocratic family, who has never had blood on his hands or done something outrageous?
This is normal.
And he was certain of one thing, that was, all the scandalous things he had done in the past had left no trace or clue.
Although it is unclear how Wang Tianshuang found this, there is no evidence related to him!
Thinking about it, Wang Tianshuang just came to the conclusion based on the wind and shadow and all his own guesses.
After he is found innocent, he will definitely counterattack with an army!
When Zhao Boqi was thinking about it, suddenly another army came from the other side of the road and blocked the outside of Zhao's house.
Song Changming looked around and was a little surprised. Standing next to the commander-in-chief was Meng Yuan, who had promised to help him in Maple City.
Meng Yuan took two steps forward and took out a stack of official documents.
"Zhao Qing, Zhao Dongshan, Zhao." He first gave a series of names of the Zhao clan members, and then continued.
"You have committed many crimes, and the royal palace has issued an order to arrest and imprison you, one by one, awaiting trial!"
