Chapter 359: Arrest Zhao! (Two in One)
Suddenly, Zhao Bushong stood up.
"Let me go to those two families and have a look."
Having lived for two hundred years, he didn't want to care too much about these trivial matters, but now he also noticed something wrong, and he had to confirm it for the sake of the family.
Who let them be the only ones who happened to be out of seclusion among the group of old guys.
"Thank you, elders." The head of the family, Zhao Boqi, bowed.
"Before that, you should think about the countermeasures. It won't be long before the Cui King knows about this matter, and it's time to hold him accountable." Zhao Bushong glanced at the current head of the family and said.
"At worst, we should make a decisive decision. Even if we lose face, we must keep the family's development momentum unaffected."
"I know." Zhao Boqi nodded.
If necessary, he will make a clean break with the dead father and son, Zhao Liang.
Confess the crime, but this matter has nothing to do with the Zhao family. It was all the father and son who acted on their own and concealed it from everyone.
In the 41st Banner Army station, Yang Zhen and the other two met for tea.
In the days since they came back, most of the time the three of them were together with some uneasiness.
In the past, Xing Tiexin might have poured some wine to drink in such occasions, but now he only dared to drink tea with Yang Zhen and Song Changming, and he didn't drink at all.
It can be seen that the pressure brought to him by Zhao Shi during this period was not small. Even if he was very tolerant, he had no intention of drinking and indulging himself at this moment.
"Then why did Zhao Shi settle down now except for the movement when he just entered the city?" Xing Tiexin said, and suddenly frowned at the light green tea in the cup. He really couldn't get used to this stuff.
"Thank the Marshal, without him to block for us, would it be so easy." Song Changming said casually, took a sip of the teacup, and a faint cool feeling spread in his body.
Then, he felt that the mental power consumed by the previous Qi training was replenished.
"It's really good tea."
Song Changming savored the fragrance of the tea, knowing that the tea leaves were not ordinary stuff.
A few small pieces are worth several pieces of medium-grade spiritual crystals, which are not available in general places.
This is naturally a good thing picked out from Zhao Liang's relics.
Not to mention other things, the effect of accelerating the recovery of mental power alone is better than many similar elixirs.
After practicing, brewing a cup of such tea is so comfortable.
Of course, there are also people who don't know the goods, such as Xing Tiexin beside him.
"It's not that simple. In the past two days, because of our matter, it can be said that the whole city has been in turmoil. All major families and forces have been affected one by one." Yang Zhen seemed to have a channel to understand and knew a lot of information.
"It can't be, isn't this 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, and then continued.
"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, this matter turned into a dispute between the families.
Song Changming was also a little surprised.
He was surprised that only two days had passed, and the two top families, the Wang family and the Meng family, had joined hands to deal with the Zhao family.
He knew very well that the Wang family would take action because of Wang Tianshuang's efforts.
And the Meng family's fate must have been helped by that Meng Yuan.
It's just that the battle was so big, and the three of them should have been the center of the vortex of this incident, but now they feel a little left out.
There must be something strange in it.
"Perhaps the reason why so many forces were involved is that the focus has long been not on the three of us," Song Changming thought in his heart.
Judging from the families and forces that are opposed to the Zhao family, they must have other intentions.
The three of them are more like a fuse, leading to the current turbulent situation of the family.
The development of the situation is a good thing for the three of them.
The Zhao family was targeted, so naturally there was no spare energy to deal with the three of them.
The three of them are safe for the time being.
"The Zhao family deserves what they deserve. It would be best if they were suppressed and never recovered, and left the ranks of top families!" Xing Tiexin clapped his hands and laughed sarcastically.
He felt happy when he heard the good news.
He almost died at the hands of Zhao Zun, and he had no good impression of the entire Zhao family. He hoped that the Zhao family would decline directly.
"That's impossible. A top family like the Zhao family, which has stood for thousands of years, must have many powerful means to protect itself. If it declines just because of a bad incident, it is not a top family." Yang Zhen did not have any expectations.
In his opinion, these top families would only be destroyed if they made a huge mistake and were attacked by all the top forces in the local area.
Otherwise, even if they were injured, they would at most be quiet for a while and recover by keeping a low profile for a period of time.
This incident was like this. Even if Wang and Meng joined forces to hit Zhao, it was not fatal to Zhao, and it was not even a crisis.
At least, Yang Zhen thought so now.
The only thing that confused him was the Wang and Meng families. What was their intention in confronting the Zhao family?
What was the real purpose of these two families?
He thought the same as Song Changming. It was impossible that they were just trying to help the three of them out.
They didn't have such a big face to cause such a big fight between the two families.
These two families must have other purposes.
In the past, he, an outsider, would not have thought about this kind of family dispute.
But this time, they were in the middle of the situation, but they had to think about the way out, fearing that they would accidentally step into the fire pit and become cannon fodder between the noble families without knowing it.
"That's a pity." After listening to what Yang Zhen said, Xing Tiexin shook his head.
He wanted the Zhao family to die, but the Zhao family would not really perish as he wished.
"Even if I can see the Zhao family die in my lifetime, that would be good." Xing Tiexin muttered.
Song Changming heard it and grinned: "Why bother to witness it in my lifetime? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to take revenge in person!"
Xing Tiexin was stunned, and then suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right, Changming, I'm not as good as you!"
Although he had ambition, he never thought that he could overthrow the giant Zhao family with his own strength in the future.
After all, the power of a person is always limited, how can it compare to the power of the noble families who are twisted into a rope.
But Song Changming's confidence, absolute self-confidence and heroism still made Xing Tiexin admire him sincerely.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but be infected by his words and smiled.
It might be impossible for him and Xing Tiexin, but for Song Changming, a gifted guy, nothing is impossible.
Ten years, twenty years, fifty years!
In their lifetime, they might really witness Song Changming destroy the family single-handedly!
This is something that others dare not even think about.
"No, if that day really comes, I will also contribute!" Yang Zhen left a thought for himself.
After that, three days passed.
All the black materials and evil deeds about the Zhao family surfaced for some reason, or were dug out by people with ulterior motives and began to spread in the city.
Even the 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 can be completely lost.
The crimes of the Zhao family that were dug up were sent to the government in batches for minor cases and to the palace for major cases.
Even Song Changming, after hearing about it, had to sigh that the means used by the noble families were really vicious.
If they didn't move, it would be fine. Once they moved, they would hit like a storm, suffocating people. Even some of the crimes that were exposed sounded so outrageous that Song Changming couldn't tell the truth from the false.
Under the "supervision" of Wang and Meng, the Zhao family members who were exposed had to be taken away by officials from the palace or government for questioning.
Among them were important members of the Zhao family.
That day.
Wang Tianshuang summoned twelve generals under his command in the garrison barracks.
Among them, Song Changming and Yang Zhen were naturally included.
"Call one thousand soldiers, follow me."
Song Changming didn't understand and glanced at Yang Zhen who was following behind Wang Tianshuang.
One thousand soldiers were not many, and it was obvious that they were not going to do anything big.
But he summoned all the generals, including the twelve main generals and many deputy generals.
It can be said that all the elite and strong men in the army have come out, so it seems that this is not a trivial matter.
Wang Tianshuang did not say anything, and after counting the troops, he went to the core city.
Song Changming's heart moved, and he had some guesses.
Could it be that they are going to face the Zhao family today!
Send troops to the Zhao family?
This direction seems to be heading to the Zhao Mansion.
Xing Tiexin also realized this immediately, and couldn't help but look at Song Changming on the side.
They were a little unsure, whether this was the commander's own decision today, or a decision made on behalf of the Wang Mansion.
Sending troops to the Zhao Mansion, no matter how you look at it, this is not a trivial matter.
In the eyes of outsiders who are not clear about the situation, this is a very serious signal.
It will make them speculate that the Zhao family is so sinful that the Wang Mansion can't stand it and is determined to completely suppress the Zhao family!
But Song Changming doesn't think it's necessarily the case.
If they really want to suppress the Zhao family, they won't send out only a thousand troops.
Forty-eight Cuiqi armies, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals are stationed in the main city.
The Zhao family is not a small character that can be bullied by everyone. If they really want to suppress them, they must send out a large army, not just a small fight.
And starting a war in the main city is also a huge threat to the entire Cuibai main city.
God knows whether the entire Cuibai main city will still exist after suppressing the Zhao family.
"It must be for another purpose." Song Changming is sure of this.
But no matter how the situation develops, the Zhao family will definitely suffer another heavy blow today.
Soon, Wang Tianshuang brought people to the outside of the Zhao Mansion.
A thousand elite soldiers were behind him, ready to fight, full of murderous intent.
A steward of the Zhao family hurried out of the mansion, bowed in a slightly panic, and asked carefully.
"Marshal, what is this for?"
Wang Tianshuang did not answer with a cold face. The small flag owner Wang Shifu stepped forward and spread out a 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 ordered that the head of the Zhao family go to trial!"
Wang Shifu's words were cold and stiff, and there was no doubt about it.
The voice was rolling, not for the Zhao family steward in front of him, but for everyone in the Zhao Mansion.
A stone caused a thousand waves, and almost everyone inside and outside the Zhao Mansion heard it clearly.
A meeting hall in the Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Boqi's face was extremely ugly, and his hands were whitened in his wide sleeves.
The air pressure in the entire meeting hall suddenly dropped to freezing point.
"Asshole!" Zhao Boqi couldn't help but yelled, and veins popped on his forehead.
It can be seen that he has tried his best to control his temper, but he is still annoyed by the series of events these days.
Today, the other party even came to cause trouble and provoked him!
"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!"
