"Not yet."

"Then you take someone to their residence and bring the eldest son of the Zhao family over."

"Yes." The guard replied, turned and left.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li took a glass of cold water and poured it directly on Master Zhao's face.

Master Zhao woke up after a shock. When he saw the emperor standing in front of him, he was startled. He knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor, the emperor..."

"Okay, this long live cry is quite loud, but in my heart I wish I could die sooner."

Master Zhao immediately shed cold sweat when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "I dare not."

"I think you are very brave." After the emperor finished speaking, he tore the pleading paper written by Zhao from the dragon case and threw it on his face.

After Mr. Zhao took it, he glanced at it hastily. After just one glance, he felt that his eyes were dark, his head was even blank, and he fainted straight away.

Seeing this, the emperor still didn't understand what was written, most of what was written above was true.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and kicked him directly, and when he woke up, he asked seriously: "Tell me, explain everything you have done these years, maybe I can give you a way to survive."

After Master Zhao heard this, not only was he not relieved, but he wanted to cry without tears.

Because he knew clearly that even if he confessed, the emperor would not kill him, the First Prince and Ding'an Houfu would not let him go, and he would still die in the end.

Looking at his expression, the emperor knew what he was thinking, and asked with a sneer, "You feel that I am not as good as King Hui, and you can't even save the lives of your family."

"not me……."

"There is only one chance. I always have to give an explanation to the family members of those officials who died unjustly, otherwise I will punish your nine clans."

Mr. Zhao was completely stupefied this time, and then wiped away his tears and said: "If I confess, can I spare my sons and daughters."

"As long as they don't participate, it doesn't matter if they spare their lives."

"I swear, they really don't know, and I dare not let them know."

"Let's talk about it then."

"Speaking of which, it was ten years ago, when I was promoted to magistrate..."

Zhou Ying, who had finished washing her head, went to the bedside, wiped the hand cream, and said with emotion: "No wonder everyone is fighting to the death for the chair under the emperor's buttocks.

Not to mention that it really works when it is critical. "

"From what you said, something happened again." Gu Chengrui put down the book, turned around and put his arm around her shoulder and asked.

"Of course, and it's a big deal. It's much bigger than Yang Shicheng's corruption and usury." Zhou Ying said mysteriously.

Gu Chengrui smiled, kissed her deeply on the lips and said, "Now it's time to talk."

"You are beautiful, I want to drink white fungus and lotus seed soup tonight."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Only then did Zhou Ying lean into his arms, and quietly told him everything about Mrs. Zhao finding her, up to Mr. Zhao's confession just now.

Gu Chengrui gasped after hearing this. If I remember correctly, there are ten to twelve counties under Daming's mansion.

In other words, they killed at least three or four Qipin county magistrates with outstanding achievements.

It seems that not only Mr. Zhao was killed this time, but also the First Prince.

Then he put his arms around her and kissed her: "Fortunately, you didn't expressly agree to cooperate with Mrs. Zhao today, otherwise we would have to be dragged into trouble by her."

"I'm not stupid. If it didn't turn out that the matter was too big, I wouldn't bother to care about it."

"Yes, yes, yes, my girl is the smartest."
