Chapter 73 Let’s Go to Zhaoyu for some Fun

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Zhao Ju and Yu Jielin took several hundred households to the prefect's Yamen to take the body of the young marquis back to Zhao Prison.

The prefect had not been able to eat well for three days and could not sleep. When he saw that some people accepted the offer, he naturally sent them away with great gratitude, fearing that they would regret it later.

The corpse was transported back to Zhao Prison without any special protection, and was simply thrown into an empty torture chamber. Anyway, the Houfu will definitely take her away in two days, so why bother yourself? It's just a pretense to go through the process, but it's not a real investigation.

Zhao, Yu Jielin and several other families sat in the execution room and pretended to inspect the corpse and discuss the case. In fact, they were drinking tea, chatting and having fun. When you are trying to deal with things, you have to behave as if you are dealing with them, so as not to let others pick on you.

"Master Yu, Master Zhao, you said that this little Marquis is also unlucky. He has such a good background for nothing. If my father were a Marquis, he would not be allowed to leave the teahouse and enter the restaurant, and leave the restaurant and enter the brothel!" Several people were talking and joking. Laughing, the topic turned to the young Marquis. Several people unanimously came to the conclusion: The young Marquis must have provoked someone, otherwise he would have died so professionally?

A Qianhu put down his tea cup and said jokingly, "Maybe he died on the woman's belly. Look at the clenched hands. I don't know if it's on top or below, but ah, it's probably going to be very satisfying..."

"Hahaha, Brother Jiang, you are really good at telling stories! But, I heard that the young prince died in the prince's mansion. How can it be so satisfying to die?"

"You know what the heck, what's the use of a maid? Isn't it just...hehe." Jiang Qianhu picked up the teacup and said in a pretentious manner, his expression full of pretentiousness.

Zhao turned his head and glanced at Yu Jielin, stepped forward and opened the little Marquis's clenched fist, pinched a small piece of clothing in his fist and raised it above his head, and said with a smile, "We have an excuse, hahaha." Lao Jiang, take people to check this piece of clothing, and then we can take revenge, don’t involve too much, we can catch two.”

Several families looked at each other and laughed sinisterly. Why don't they take the opportunity to avenge themselves?

Jiang Qianhu took the lead and walked out, followed closely by the other Qianhu and Baihu. When everyone was gone, Zhao sat down and said with a smile, "Brother Yu is not going? He is so popular!"

"Oh, there's not much grudge. It's just that the neighbors had a few quarrels. They are all responsible people. If you are thrown into prison, it won't be embarrassing." Yu Jielin drank tea, leisurely and contentedly, and after savoring the fragrance of tea for a while, he asked He said, "Brother Zhao, are you trying to trick someone?"

"Well, when I first came here, I made trouble for a consort. I guess I was given the position after spending money, and I wasn't happy about it." Zhao didn't hide it, and briefly mentioned the cause and effect. As for Chen Dachen The two or two local ruffians simply ignored them.

"Hey, this prince-in-law has a big heart and isn't afraid of being troubled? What kind of princess is she? We can't afford to offend someone who is favored."

"Seventh Princess." Zhao said while drinking tea.

Yu Jielin played with the tea cup and smiled, "This kid is a bit reckless! Don't worry, he will be caught and beaten. As long as there are no traces left, he will not be able to challenge us!"

He didn't answer, just raised his eyebrows at Yu Jielin. The two of them held teacups and smiled at each other, all in silence.

After waiting for an hour, it was almost dark, and Jiang Qianhu returned to Zhao Prison, bowed his hands and saluted, "Master Yu, Master Zhao, I found out that only Jinxiu Cloth Co., Ltd. can make this cloth. Eight people ordered it before Xiao Houye died. The three people ordered the clothes, including Tang Zhixiao, the son of Tang Jie, the Minister of Punishment, Zheng Rongqing, the consort of the Seventh Princess, and Princess Kang, but everyone in the cloth shop had brought them back before Princess Kang could pick them up. Zhao Yu, please make your decision.”

"Let's lock him up for a few days first. No one will believe him if he doesn't make some noise. In a few days, let them pay money to redeem the person. Brothers have worked so hard for so long, and it's not appropriate if they can't get any benefits." Yu Jielin put down the tea cup and said casually He said, "Brother Zhao, I'll go to the Tang Mansion. I'll ask you, brother-in-law, to take a trip."

"Okay, thank you Brother Yu, I'll take a trip right away." Zhao thanked him.

"Old Jiang, take my waist badge and go to Qianhu's office to order a team of people. Follow me to the Seventh Princess's Mansion to get some people!" Zhao took off his waist badge and threw it to Jiang Qianhu, then turned around and went out to change into official uniform.

After changing into official uniforms and coming out, it was drizzling. Without wearing a raincoat, the true energy is released and the rain is isolated. Zhao stood in front of the Zhao prison gate, waiting for Jiang Qianhu to bring people back.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Qianhu came back with fifty or sixty people. When he saw Zhao Jiu, he was about to salute, but Zhao Jiu interrupted him with a wave of his hand. He looked around at the crowd and shouted, "Let's go and get someone with me!"

In front of the princess's mansion, Zhao stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Qianhu, who was about to break down the door. He pulled him to the side and whispered, "What do you want to do? This is the princess's mansion! Don't talk about it, lead someone to clear the whole place." The street is closed, no entry or exit is allowed!”

It's really neither light nor heavy. She is a princess, how can she be an ordinary person? If someone files a complaint against your own father, can you, a thousand households, afford the blame?

After Jiang Qianhu and his people dispersed, Zhao came forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a voice came from inside, shouting in a bad tone, "Gungun, didn't you see that this is the princess's mansion? You want to beg for food elsewhere, you are blind. Get out of here."

The concierge knows that those with some status will hand over greeting cards early, and those who come to the door in an emergency will not knock on the door, but servants will come in advance to ventilate the door. What's more, it's dinner time now. Who else but beggars would be so ignorant as to knock on the door?

Zhao ignored what the concierge said and continued to knock on the door. The concierge opened the door angrily and stuck his head out. Before he could speak, Zhao slapped him directly.

"You..." The concierge was slapped in the face and was about to yell, but when he saw Zhao Jue's green Qilin suit, he held it back, covered his face, nodded and bowed, and said, "Who are you looking for?"

"When the Jinyiwei are doing business, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask! Get out of here!" Zhao Jue glanced at him, and a centurion behind him stepped forward and opened the door and yelled.

Ignoring the frightened concierge, Zhao Jue said lightly, "Forget it," and walked into the princess's mansion with his hands behind his back. Turning around the screen wall, he went straight to the middle courtyard.

"Who are you? Why did you come in without announcing?" Seeing Zhao Jue walk into the house with his hands behind his back, the housekeeper did not chase him away, but asked gently.

Zhao Jue ignored the housekeeper who came forward and bowed to the princess who was eating. "Excuse me, the seventh princess. I am Zhao Muzhi, the Jinyiwei Northern Pacification Division, and I am here for the murder of the young marquis."

"Case?" The princess put down her chopsticks and asked in a soft voice, puzzled. She had heard about the death of the young marquis from the housekeeper a long time ago, but how could this case be related to the princess's mansion and herself?

Seeing the confusion on the princess's face, Zhao didn't want to cause trouble, so he respectfully explained, "It has nothing to do with the princess. It's just that the case involves the prince consort. The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation, and I'm here to take the prince consort to the prison. Don't worry, princess, I'm just asking questions, not charging him."

Hearing that it had nothing to do with her, the princess's expression returned to normal, and she said to the prince consort Zheng Rongqing on the side, "Rongqing, since it has something to do with you, you can go with Zhao Zhenfushi."

After getting the princess's permission, Zhao eased up a lot, squinting at the puzzled Zheng Rongqing, smiling, and raising his hand to lead him out.

"Prince Consort Zheng, the emperor has given me an order to investigate the case. Let's go, don't force me to do it."

"Come with me to Zhaoyu to have some fun..."
