“Not at the moment.”
“Go bring some men to their residence and bring the eldest son of the Zhao family over.”
“Roger that.” The guard responded and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Eunuch Li took a cup of cold water and splashed it on Lord Zhao’s face.
Lord Zhao woke up with a jolt. When he saw the Emperor standing before him, he was deeply shocked. He quickly knelt and kowtowed, “Long live the Emperor, All Hail...”
“Alright, I heard you loud and clear. But I’m sure you can’t wait for me to die as soon as possible.”
When Lord Zhao heard this, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly replied, “I wouldn’t dare!”
“No, you’re very daring.” After the Emperor said this, he pulled out the complaint Madam Zhao wrote and threw it in his face.
After Lord Zhao took it, he hurriedly took a look. With just one glance, he felt his view darkening, and his mind blanked out; he fainted immediately.
The Emperor understood when he saw that what was written on it was 80% true.
“From what you’re saying, something must have happened.” Gu Chengrui put down his book, turned around, and put his arm around her shoulder.
“Of course, and it’s a big deal. It’s much bigger than Yang Shicheng’s corruption.” Zhou Ying replied mysteriously.
Gu Chengrui smiled and kissed her deeply on the lips. “You should tell me now.”
“Maybe, but I want to drink a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup tonight.”
“No problem, leave it to me.”
Zhou Ying leaned into his arms and whispered about how Madam Zhao had found her and how Lord Zhao had confessed.
Gu Chengrui gasped after hearing that. If he remembers correctly, ten to twelve counties were under Lord Zhao’s influence.
In other words, they had killed three to four 7th-grade county magistrates with outstanding achievements.
Lord Zhao wouldn’t be the only one falling this time. The First Prince would probably be gone as well.
He hugged her and kissed her. “Fortunately, you didn’t openly agree to cooperate with Madam Zhao today. Otherwise, we would have been dragged into the mud by her.”
“I’m not stupid. If it weren’t for the fact that what happened was so major, I wouldn’t have bothered.”
‘Yes, yes, my wife is the smartest..’
