After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Chapter 406: Catch Them All

Ho!

That’s quite a lot.

Wang Ciming had indeed invested a lot in him.

But it can also be seen that Wang Ci has made a lot of money by using these means both secretly and explicitly... These are all the people's hard-earned money.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.

A voice came from outside the carriage, "Master Zhao, I am Wang Ciyuan."

Zhao Hao naturally knew Wang Ciyuan, but because Wang Ciyuan was the child of the second wife, he was not very familiar with him.

He remembered that he had no contact with Wang Ciyuan in the past, so why would Wang Ciyuan come to him?

A servant's voice rang out from outside the carriage, "Prince Wang, my master has drunk too much and is drunk."

Zhao Hao didn't say anything.

After all, they are members of the Wang family, so they have to act as they should.

A light laugh sounded, and Wang Ciyuan's voice soon rang out, "The wine that Master Zhao drank in the restaurant today was served by me."

Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. The fact that he could drink so much with Wang Ciming today without getting drunk was certainly not because he had an extraordinary alcohol tolerance.

There is only one truth: he drank water.

It seems that Wang Ciyuan is not a simple person either.

"Second Brother Wang." Zhao Hao lifted the carriage curtain and said in a steady voice, "If you have anything to say, please come up and say it."

Wang Ciyuan raised his eyes and met Zhao Hao's eyes. The light from the lantern was dim, but Zhao Hao's eyes were clear and bright.

Wang Ciyuan came alone, wearing the clothes of a servant.

Wang Ciyuan didn't hesitate at all and immediately climbed onto the carriage.

"When the carriage reaches the roadside, you get off and keep watch." Zhao Hao instructed the coachman.

During this period, neither Wang Ciyuan nor Zhao Hao spoke.

Soon, the servant's voice came from outside, and everything had been prepared according to Zhao Hao's instructions.

Zhao Hao then looked at Wang Ciyuan, "Brother Wang, why are you here to see me dressed like this? Is there something important?" There was something wrong with the way he was dressed.

"My uncle came to see me today," Wang Ciyuan said straight to the point. "He wanted me to sabotage the Yushu exam and bring Yushu back to the Wang family."

A cold light flashed in Zhao Hao's eyes, "Then I would like to thank Brother Wang Er for reminding me."

"It was me who asked Wang Ciming to come and look for Lord Zhao today." Wang Ciyuan spoke again.

Although this was not said clearly, Zhao Hao understood it immediately. What Wang Ciyuan wanted to talk about was not the drinking, but what Wang Ciming asked him to do.

In other words, Wang Ciyuan also knew about this matter.

Wang Ciyuan quickly understood what Zhao Hao meant and said with a smile, "After all, I've been in the Wang family for so many years. Even if I didn't participate in some things, I've heard about them."

"As for participating..." Wang Ciyuan laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm a concubine's son from the second house, so I'm not qualified to participate in these things."

These words...Zhao Haoxin.

He has been dealing with the Wang family for a long time, and the Wang family has a very strict hierarchy.

People like Wang Ciyuan, although also surnamed Wang, are still some distance away from the power center of the Wang family.

"Brother Wang, what do you want to say by telling me this?" Zhao Hao asked.

"Lord Wang said that the Emperor and Empress have a problem with the Wang family and want to weaken the aristocratic families." Wang Ciyuan said, "I have a lot of things in my hands, and I am willing to lend a hand."

He hadn't dared to gamble before, but this time, Wang Yushu was taking the test, Zhao Hao's attitude towards the Wang family father and son, and the fact that Lord Wang had given him the task, it was clear that he was trying to destroy him...

He has no way out of this matter.

Naturally, we have to find another way out.

Zhao Hao stared at Wang Ciyuan for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud, "Second Brother Wang, you misunderstood. Lord Wang and Big Brother Wang are both important officials of the court..."

Wang Ciyuan took out a small booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Hao, "Master Zhao, please take a look at it first."

Zhao Hao took it, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Second Brother Wang, they are Yushu's father and brother, aren't you afraid..."

"If Lord Zhao wants to learn from the language and books, he should take a look at it."

Zhao Hao had already believed most of what Wang Ciyuan said. From the issue of wine to now, Wang Ciyuan was indeed sincere.

Zhao Hao reached out and took the booklet from Wang Ciyuan.

I saw that he had no intention of reading it.

Wang Ciyuan said, "I am the second son of a concubine. My biological mother is a good-looking woman from a good family. She was forcibly taken home."

"My biological mother was ill when she gave birth to me. Wang Lao Er was tired of the old and loved the new, so he disliked my biological mother from then on."

"At that time, the second wife had no son, and my biological mother and I had a hard time in the Wang family. If my biological mother hadn't protected me, I would have died long ago."

"Later, the second wife never gave birth to a son. Before she took me to her side to raise me, my biological mother suddenly passed away one night."

Zhao Hao heard the genuine sadness in Wang Ciyuan's words. He clenched the booklet in his hand and said subconsciously, "Yes..."

"It was suicide." Wang Ciyuan laughed self-deprecatingly. "They didn't even need to do it themselves. Just a few threats would have made my foolish biological mother commit suicide for me."

"They were so clean... I lost everything." Wang Ciyuan laughed self-deprecatingly. "Sometimes I think they acted too late, so late that I remember my biological mother, the poor woman who committed suicide for me."

"If I had acted earlier, no one would have cared. Maybe... I could actually deceive myself."

"It means to deceive yourself. I am the son of the second wife."

In fact, he had deceived himself in this way before, but fake is fake after all.

Last year, he studied hard for ten years for the imperial examination, but failed to get a place in the royal family, so he wanted to pass the exam with his own ability.

On the day of the Enke exam, he drank the water from the Wang family and had diarrhea for three days. If he had not been lucky enough to bring the right medicine, he would have died in the examination room.

After investigation, he found out that the crime was committed by the mistress of the Wang family's main house, Wang Ciming's mother, who is now under house arrest.

The mistress of the second house also knew about it, but she never thought of stopping or reminding him. She just watched him like a play.

Watching him struggle in vain.

Zhao Hao said, "As far as I know, the Wang family's second branch only has one male heir, Brother Wang Er. Have you really thought it through?"

Wang Ciyuan laughed at himself, "The only male? Haha."

He was indeed the only male in the second branch of the Wang family. The mistress of the second branch had to keep him, but she didn't want him to get out of her control.

Speaking of which, his special status was thanks to the mistress of the second house. After his biological mother gave birth to him, the mistress of the second house did not want to see any more illegitimate children being born, so she controlled the other concubines even more strictly.

In the end, he was the only one left.

"It's just a chess piece." Wang Ciyuan said, "Master Zhao, I don't want to be a chess piece."

"The Wang family is already rotten. For so many years, I have not enjoyed the prosperity and wealth of the Wang family, and I don't want to be buried with the Wang family."

"My mother told me before she died, live well."

Of course he has to live well.

Wang Ciyuan said to Zhao Hao, "Master Zhao, you don't have to believe these words. There is evidence in this booklet."

These are all evil things done by the Wang family, so naturally we need to prepare evidence.

Zhao Hao said, "It's getting late. Brother Wang, shouldn't you go back?" He had already said so much. If he still didn't show up, someone in the Wang family might become suspicious.

Wang Ciyuan pursed his lips.

Zhao Hao put the booklet in his hand into his sleeve and said, "I will read it."

Wang Ciyuan let out a long sigh, then got off the carriage and quickly disappeared into the night.

Zhao Hao's carriage returned to Zhao's house, and the light in his study was on all night.

The next morning.

Since there was no morning court session, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji arrived at the Yangxin Palace a little later than usual, after all, they had played with their three children early in the morning.

Zhao Zhao and Sui Sui are now able to talk to each other. Although the two children speak unclearly, the two identical little guys chattering back and forth, which makes people feel soft-hearted.

As I wished, I can turn over now, but I still spend most of my time sleeping.

After spending time with the children and arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I found that Zhao Hao was already waiting. He was sitting on the steps in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he looked quite unmannered.

I don’t know how long I’ve been here.

"Lord Zhao." Li Dajian reminded him. Zhao Hao reacted and quickly stood up and saluted. "Your Majesty, the Queen."

"How long have you been here?" Xie Yao asked, "Why didn't you call someone if there was something urgent?"

Even if you are not summoned, you can go to the side hall of the Yangxin Palace and wait. Why sit here outside?

Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am here early, so I specifically asked the eunuchs not to summon you in advance."

As for his case, there's no point in being anxious.

It's not something that can be solved in a short time.

Entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhao Hao stepped forward, took out everything from his sleeves, and placed them on the dragon table in front of the emperor and empress.

A booklet, a memorial, and a stack of banknotes.

It looks messy.

As soon as Xie Yao and Xiao Ji's eyes fell on Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao told them everything that happened yesterday.

When Xie Yao met him that day, she had some plans for him.

What he has obtained now can be said to be rapid progress, which is of great help to the advancement of this matter.

Xiao Ji and Xie Yao then picked up the booklets and memorials on the table and began to read them. After just a few casual glances, they were left with only coldness.

What a great Wang family.

I have always suspected that there is a lot of dirty things hidden behind the prosperous appearance of the Wang family.

But now that I see it with my own eyes, I still feel shocked!

And these are most likely only a part of it.

Zhao Hao waited for Xiao Ji and Xie Yao to finish reading before saying, "Your Majesty, please let me know what I should do next."

Xie Yao took Wang Ciming's copy of the memorial and said, "Since he wants to do something, let him do it."

Of course, it’s impossible to really do it, it’s just to give him an illusion.

Before obtaining conclusive evidence from the Wang family, the temporary confusion is also a test to see if more clues can be obtained from Wang Ciming.

Of course, with the clues given by Wang Ciming this time, we can find a lot of things by following the clues.

Xiao Ji nodded, having no objection to Xie Yao's arrangement. He then instructed Si Nan, "Go verify what Wang Ciyuan said."

Wang Ciyuan said a lot and even presented evidence, but people who suddenly appeared wanted to be trusted, so they were naturally subject to investigation.

"Yes." Sinan quickly turned and left.

Xiao Ji said: "Sinan will tell you the follow-up results. If it is trustworthy, you can arrange for him to do something else."

After all, he is a member of the Wang family, and now Lord Wang has "high hopes" for him. It must be easier for him to do something than for them.

Even though Si Nan is an extraordinary family, the Wang family is a century-old family. Although the current generation has been weakened and impoverished, the layered mansions that occupy an entire mountain are not so easy to break into.

"Yes." Zhao Hao agreed immediately. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Xie Yao again, "My Lady, Yushu..."

Xie Yao understood and nodded to Zhao Hao, saying, "Don't worry and do your thing. I'll have someone keep an eye on Yu Shu and won't let anything happen to her."

Zhao Hao let out a long sigh and immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise!"

Xie Yao laughed.

Why would Zhao Hao need to come all the way to say something like this? Every one of the female officials participating in the assessment was her treasure.

Even if it was just for the sake of her wish that the female official examination could proceed smoothly, she would not let anything happen to these candidates.

And now, Wang Yushu is indeed a person who may be in trouble and needs special attention, so Xie Yao naturally will not ignore him.

After hearing what Xie Yao said, Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief and left the Yangxin Palace happily.

Of course, he didn't take anything he brought with him, and the banknotes were left in the Yangxin Palace.

Xie Yao picked up the banknotes, counted them, and said, "The Wang family is really willing to spend money."

After she finished speaking, she thought of something else and looked at Xiao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, does this count as accepting bribes?"

After all, she had just instructed Zhao Hao to "get things done."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "This Wang Ciming is quite capable." He even sent the gifts to the emperor, doesn't that mean he is capable?

Xie Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud. This joke... was really a bit deadly.

……

Si Nan quickly followed Xiao Ji's orders and found out the truth about what Wang Ciyuan had said.

This is also very simple. After all, Wang Ciyuan has prepared enough evidence in advance. All Si Nan has to do is verify these things and check whether there are any signs of human intervention.

He quickly informed Zhao Hao of the news.

Zhao Hao got the exact answer and immediately felt relieved. After thanking Si Nan, he went to find Wang Ciming.

It’s still the same restaurant as yesterday.

Wang Ciming may have just sobered up, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Hao was not as friendly as yesterday, but rather a bit defensive.

Of course, Wang Ciming thought that his performance was not obvious, but Zhao Hao actually saw it at a glance.

He had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He said, "Brother, I've thought carefully about what you told me yesterday."

Wang Ciming smiled and said, "What's the matter? Why don't I remember what happened?"

"Brother Hao, I drank too much yesterday, so please don't take some of my words seriously." He had heard that Zhao Hao went to the Yangxin Palace early this morning and met the emperor and empress in private.

Although Zhao Hao accepted his banknote yesterday, the timing was too coincidental, so Wang Ciming naturally had some doubts in his heart.

Zhao Hao was slightly startled, as if a little confused. "Brother, what do you mean by that? Didn't we agree yesterday that I would still accept your money?"

"What nonsense?" Wang Ciming said, "Where is the money?"

Zhao Hao's face darkened. "Brother Wang, I treat you as my own brother. What do you mean? Don't you believe me?"

Wang Ciming snorted inwardly. He naturally didn't believe Zhao Hao, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said, "What nonsense?"

Zhao Hao quickly reacted, "Brother, did someone say something in front of you?"
