Chapter 407 Let’s cooperate! Each takes what they need
Wang Ciming remained silent.
Zhao Hao added, "Brother, my mother is my uncle, Yushu is my fiancée, and you are my future uncle. Is there anything we can't talk about openly?"
Wang Ciming's heart moved, thinking of Zhao Hao's meticulous care for Wang Yushu.
Although the two did not get married, Zhao Hao used to send various gifts to Wang Yushu every now and then, and the entire Wang family got a share.
Wang Ciming had secretly laughed at Zhao Hao before, saying that he had never seen a woman before. He naturally knew how much Zhao Hao cared about Wang Yushu.
Wang Yushu is, after all, a member of the Wang family.
Wang Ciming then said, "I heard that Brother Hao entered the palace early this morning?"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter on the spot. He didn't restrain himself at all, which made Wang Ciming's face darken.
He said coldly: "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Why laugh at me?" Wang Ciming stood up and was about to leave.
But Zhao Hao stopped him, "Brother, you don't think I came to the palace today to file a complaint, do you?"
These words touched Wang Ciming's heart. He felt a little embarrassed and simply said directly, "Isn't it?"
After hearing this, the smile on Zhao Hao's face finally faded, and he said seriously: "Of course not, big brother, this is a misunderstanding."
"Don't you think about it? If I really went to complain, would you still be standing here dejectedly?"
Wang Ciming thought about it and realized that it was true. If Zhao Hao had really gone to complain, he should have been arrested by now.
At this point, Wang Ci knew that he had misunderstood Zhao Hao, "Then you..."
Zhao Hao smiled, "I came to the palace to plead guilty. Wasn't the Dali Temple investigating the assassination of the two Xuan Lords on their way back to the capital?"
"There's been no clue, so I can only take the initiative to get scolded." Zhao Hao shrugged, looking like he didn't regard Wang Ciming as an outsider at all.
Wang Ciming was shocked. "Brother Hao, you're going to be scolded too?"
"If things are not done well, you will naturally be scolded." Zhao Hao said, picking up the wine glass in front of him and drinking it all.
The taste in his mouth made his body shudder, it was water again.
This shows that Wang Ciyuan might be there.
Zhao Hao remained calm, swallowing his drink and listening to Wang Ciming's talk. "You're so close to the Queen, and yet you're being scolded?"
"I'm not saying anything, but that's really inhumane..."
The intention to sow discord is very obvious.
Zhao Hao just smiled bitterly at this, and occasionally advised Wang Ciming with words like "Stop talking".
The more he did this, the more excited Wang Ciming became. He kept complaining and grumbling. By the time the two of them finished their drink, it was already noon.
It was only because Zhao Hao pretended to be drunk that Wang Ciming stopped chattering away.
Zhao Hao thought that Wang Ciming probably didn't know that after he drank too much, he even scolded Lord Wang.
It can be seen that the complaint about the emperor and empress just now was not entirely because Zhao Hao was scolded, but also because Wang Ciming represented himself.
He vented all his complaints and resentment towards Lord Wang.
After the drunk Wang Ciming was helped away, Zhao Hao slowly stood up. He looked to the side and saw a figure appear at the door of the private room.
It was none other than Wang Ciyuan.
From the moment he drank that glass of "wine", Zhao Hao knew that Wang Ciyuan was there, and he was not surprised by his appearance.
"Second brother, sit down."
Wang Ciyuan sat down and asked, "Master Zhao, what do you think about what happened yesterday?"
Zhao Hao naturally believed it, so he entered the palace openly today. He was sending a signal to Wang Ciyuan.
He pointed upwards and said, "There's something else I want to trouble you with, second brother."
Wang Ciyuan was a clever man, and Zhao Hao's simple hints were enough for him to understand. He had already suspected this matter early this morning.
The current development is exactly what he wants!
The Wang family is about to capsize, and if he wants to keep himself safe, he naturally has to get the approval of his superiors.
Zhao Hao has no say in this matter; only the words from above count.
Wang Ciyuan's expression froze, and he immediately said, "Please tell me, Lord Zhao, if there is anything I can do, I will do it without hesitation!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "What are you talking about, second brother? There's no such thing as life or death. I just want you to get some things."
What else could the Wang family have that was valuable?
Wang Ciyuan quickly understood: evidence of guilt!
And those things...are mostly kept in Lord Wang’s study.
Lord Wang's study is in the Wang family. It is of utmost importance. Not to mention entering, even outsiders in the yard cannot easily approach it.
It would really give him a difficult time.
Wang Ciyuan took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of things. May I ask, Lord Zhao, what exactly are you looking for?"
Zhao Hao looked into Wang Ciyuan's eyes and the two looked at each other.
After a long time, Zhao Hao stretched out his finger, dipped it in the wine, and slowly wrote a word on the table.
"north".
Wang Ciyuan saw it clearly, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was sitting steadily on the chair and almost fell down!
This is really, really...
Quarreling is a serious crime of exterminating nine generations of a family. No wonder the emperor and empress could no longer tolerate the Wang family. Now it seems that the Wang family brought their own destruction!
He even dares to do such a thing.
At this moment, Wang Ciyuan's heart was filled with gratitude for having survived the disaster. Fortunately, he was already prepared to escape from the Wang family, otherwise he would have been taken to hell by Lord Wang at any time.
Even if the Wang family arranged a retreat, it would definitely not be him who could escape.
He was a pure, innocent victim.
Wang Ciyuan only felt the sound of his heartbeat ringing in his ears. He thought he was prepared, but he still underestimated Lord Wang's courage.
Zhao Hao reached out and supported Wang Ciyuan steadily, "Second brother, this matter..."
Wang Ciyuan felt his mouth dry and unconsciously licked his lips. He said, "I'll do my best on this matter."
This matter requires careful planning.
Zhao Hao said: "I can lend a helping hand to my second brother."
……
Soon, Zhao Hao gave Wang Ciming a satisfactory answer.
Wang Ciming asked Zhao Hao to clean up his mess, and Zhao Hao cleaned it up cleanly. In fact, those who broke the law had already been on Xie Yao and Xiao Ji's list, and they were just waiting to be settled together after the Wang family's affairs were over.
Wang Ciming was very happy and made another appointment with Zhao Hao at the restaurant.
"Brother Hao." Wang Ciming put his arm around Zhao Hao's shoulders and said, "From now on, you are my biological brother!"
His father always looked down on him and said he had accomplished nothing.
But now?
He accomplished what he wanted to do without relying on his father. With Zhao Hao around, he no longer has to look at his father's face from now on.
Zhao Hao quickly said, "Brother, you are my biological brother, but I cannot be your biological brother."
Wang Ciming's face turned stern.
Zhao Hao whispered, "Yushu and I..." He was going to marry Wang Yushu, so naturally he couldn't be Wang Ciming's biological brother.
Wang Ciming reacted and immediately laughed out loud, "You, you."
"Okay, I'll leave the language book to you. I'm relieved."
Zhao Hao laughed when he heard this, and immediately said to Wang Ciming, "Brother, if something like this happens again in the future, please let me know."
The two looked at each other and smiled brightly.
Wang Ciming returned home in a very good mood. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Ciyuan. Seeing Wang Ciming, Wang Ciyuan hurried forward and followed him, "Cousin."
Wang Ciming was in a good mood, and even looked at Wang Ciyuan with a liking for him. It was Wang Ciyuan's idea to go find Zhao Hao...
Wang Ciming said, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Wang Ciyuan quickly followed and whispered, "Cousin, I want to ask you to save me and give me some advice..."
He grumbled and told the story of Lord Wang arranging for him to bring Wang Yushu back, and then explained the difficulties. "Cousin, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I've checked. The security outside the Imperial Examination Hall and the inns where the candidates are staying have been strengthened..."
"It's hard for me to even get close." Wang Ciyuan looked like he was about to cry, but couldn't. "Cousin, you're smart, can you give me some advice?"
Wang Ciming rolled his eyes in annoyance, looking down on Wang Ciyuan's behavior, "Look at you, you are such a loser."
Wang Ciming's eyes turned, and he said, "A few days ago, my father asked me to go to the inn tomorrow to give Wang Yushu something..."
"I'll go, I'll go!" Wang Ciyuan immediately responded, "Then...cousin, do you have any tokens or something? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in."
Wang Ciming choked.
As for a token of trust... of course he needs one, but he just made the old man angry, and if he goes to the old man again, he will probably be scolded.
He wasn't asking the old man to do anything for him, so he didn't want to be scolded.
But he thought that the old man had entrusted him with the task of delivering the things, and if he didn't do it well, he would probably be scolded again.
Wang Ciming's eyes rolled and he said, "The token is in my father's study. Do you dare to take it?"
Wang Ciyuan lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions, and looked embarrassed. "This isn't good, cousin. My uncle's study... I can't just go there casually."
Wang Ciming was originally regretting his quick words, but when he saw Wang Ciyuan's reaction, he instantly relaxed.
With Wang Ciyuan being such a coward, any worries are unnecessary.
Wang Ciming patted his shoulder and said, "Go! If you don't go, who will? If I go, can you hold my father back?"
Seeing that Wang Ciyuan was still hesitating, Wang Ciming's face darkened, "If you don't go, don't blame me for not helping you..."
"Go!" Wang Ciyuan said hesitantly, "I'll listen to my cousin."
Lord Wang's study was always guarded, and Wang Ciyuan could not enter with his identity. Wang Ciming came forward to send the people away, and then called Wang Ciyuan in.
He urged, "Hurry up and get the stamp out as soon as you can. I can't wait too long. If my dad sees us..."
"Don't worry, cousin. I'll be quick!" Wang Ciyuan assured him quickly. "If I really get caught by my uncle, it won't have anything to do with you."
Wang Ciming smiled.
Get on the road.
The plan went smoothly. Wang Ciming stepped forward to get the people away, and Wang Ciyuan quickly entered Lord Wang's study.
Wang Ciming was just about to inquire about Lord Wang's current location when he saw a servant hurried over and said, "Master, Lord Zhao is here. The master wants you to come over."
Wang Ciming was shocked and unsure what Zhao Hao was doing here. Could it be that he was going to... report him?
After all, he was the one who asked Zhao Hao for help!
Wang Ciming walked quickly towards that direction without saying anything. He had to listen. Zhao Hao was his connection now and he had to hold on to him tightly.
He walked a few steps, looked back at Lord Wang's study, and then left quickly.
It was the first time that Wang Ciyuan was alone in Lord Wang's study. When he thought about what he was going to do next, he felt sweat oozing from his palms.
If Lord Wang finds out about this... he might be in danger of losing his life.
But the hesitation was only for a moment, and Wang Ciyuan quickly began to search the house seriously.
...nothing was found.
There is a secret room or a hidden compartment!
Although Wang Ciyuan was anxious, he couldn't move fast enough. After all, everything he touched had to be restored to its original state.
And he also has to keep an eye on what's happening outside.
At this moment, he heard footsteps, followed by the voice of the servant guarding outside the courtyard, "Master."
came back!
Wang Ciyuan was startled, looked around, and quickly hid back in the deepest part of the bookshelf in the study.
Fortunately, the study was very large, and Wang Ciyuan could only hope that Lord Wang would not go in.
The door opened.
For the first time, Wang Ciyuan felt that his heart could beat so fast.
He didn't dare look at Lord Wang, for fear that Lord Wang would notice his gaze.
Soon, he heard Lord Wang's voice, "Has anyone been to my study?"
The servant's voice quickly rang out, "In reply to the master, the eldest son came here, but he only walked around the door and then left."
Wang Ciyuan didn't dare to move, but he could clearly hear the movements in the study. Lord Wang seemed to be... looking through things in the study.
He discovered it?
Wang Ciyuan didn't know where he had gone wrong, but he thought he had been discreet enough. He carefully peered in from the lowest point.
But then he saw the secret compartment under Lord Wang's desk slowly open.
After checking, Lord Wang breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to take the next step, he heard the servant's voice outside again.
"Master, Lord Zhao is here again. He said he has something urgent to discuss with you!"
Zhao Hao?!
Very good!
Lord Wang closed the secret compartment and then stood up and left the study. Wang Ciyuan was about to stand up and walk towards the secret compartment, but suddenly he thought of something, stopped, and retreated.
Not long after, the study door was opened again.
Someone was standing by the door looking in.
"Let's go." It was Lord Wang's voice.
Wang Ciyuan felt that his whole body was almost soaked with sweat. It was just a sudden thought that flashed through his mind, but it unexpectedly saved his life.
This time, Wang Ciyuan hurried towards the secret compartment...
……
It was late at night when Zhao Hao left Wang's house.
After leaving the Wang family's sight, Zhao Hao got off the carriage unconsciously, ordered the carriage to go ahead, and he walked to a small alley not far away.
He is waiting.
The time of waiting always passes very slowly. Zhao Hao was the only one here. Just when he was about to fall asleep while waiting, he finally heard footsteps.
Zhao Hao hid in the dark and looked carefully towards the source of the footsteps.
Caution is the boat.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo."
Zhao Hao then walked out from the darkness. The person who came was Wang Ciyuan. He had obviously run out and was sweating all over.
But Wang Ciyuan's eyes were filled with joy. Seeing his expression, Zhao Hao knew what was going on. "Found it?"
Wang Ciyuan nodded and said, "Fortunately, Lord Zhao, you returned to the Wang family for the second time, otherwise..." He was scared just thinking about it now.
Wang Ciyuan took out a folded piece of white paper from his pocket and said, "I copied some of it and brought out a few important letters. To avoid alerting the enemy, I didn't move the evidence."
"But when I came out, the light in the study was still on."
Obviously, Lord Wang is here.
Zhao Hao flipped open the paper Wang Ciyuan had copied. Seeing the contents on it, his expression froze. He said, "Second brother, follow me into the palace now!"
