The strongest Marquis in history

Page 665

Zhao Shigu was young, about 20 years old, young and energetic, and perverted, he committed the murder.When Zhao Shigu saw Zhao Shao coming, he became excited.He hurriedly got up, walked to the door of the cell, and shouted: "Grandfather, grandson knows his mistake, please grandfather, save grandson's life."

Zhao Shao looked at the jailer beside him and ordered, "Open the door."

The jailer hesitated for a moment, but didn't say much, and opened the door.After all, he didn't believe that Zhao Shao would rob the prison.Zhao Shao brought people in, and at this time the jailer had already retreated, not caring about the affairs in the cell for the time being.

Zhao Shao looked at Zhao Shigu and asked, "Zhao Shigu, are you a man from my Zhao family?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Shigu nodded and answered.

Zhao Shaodao: "My Zhao family, if I save you, no one in the whole family will be able to be an official again, and the family's glory will no longer be there. Even your sister-in-law, even though she is still the current queen, will be greatly affected, the holy family No more. Do you really want to see this happen? Do you cause the family to suffer because of you alone?"

Geek!

Zhao Shigu's heart suddenly sank, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

What do you mean?

Zhao Shigu smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandfather, grandson..."

Zhao Shao directly interrupted Zhao Shigu's words, and said: "In the current situation, whether to protect you, or the entire Zhao family, or even the prince, you can choose. Grandfather will not choose for you."

"I……"

Zhao Shigu was dumbfounded.

The Zhao family is in decline, so how can they live?The members of the Zhao family all regard him as a sinner, how can they face the members of the family.

He couldn't choose at all.

Chapter 920

Zhao Shao looked at the hesitant Zhao Shao, and continued: "You are the son of my Zhao family, so don't be cowardly, and stand up for me. It doesn't matter if you committed a crime, and you will die in prison yourself. It is also important to protect the Zhao family. All your reputation, all the Zhao family's reputation."

After Zhao Shigu heard it, he stopped talking, he understood what Zhao Shao meant.

Just let him die.

He died, and everything settled down.

There was fear in Zhao Shigu's eyes, but gradually he became firm, because he had no choice but to say: "Grandfather, grandson understands. I am willing to die to protect my Zhao family."

"As expected of me, the son of the Zhao family."

After Zhao Shao heard it, he nodded and said, "How do you want to die? Do you commit suicide by taking medicine, or commit suicide with a dagger, or do you adopt other methods?"

Zhao Shigu looked up at the prison roof, there was a beam on it.He smiled bitterly, and said: "Grandfather, grandson, please hang yourself, this way, there will be no doubts."

Zhao Shao said: "Follow you."

He stared at Zhao Shigu, and said again: "No matter what, you are always a son of my Zhao family, and a member of my Zhao family. Especially what you have done today has the character of a man of my Zhao family."

After speaking, Zhao Shao turned around and left.

Zhao Shigu was left alone.

Zhao Shigu looked at Zhao Shao's leaving back, put his hands together, gave a long salute before getting up.In the prison cell, the expression on his face changed again and again.The jailer has come, closed the door, and left.

In the huge prison cell, only Zhao Shigu was alone.

Zhao Shi Guku sat down for a long time, thinking about many things.

Finally, Zhao Shigu let out a long sigh.

He has no choice.

Because he didn't die, the Zhao family would be affected.Now that he was about to die, Zhao Shigu had figured it out, and he regretted it even more.If everything could be done all over again, he would not make such a big mistake again.

Unfortunately, it is too late to regret.

Zhao Shigu took a deep breath, walked aside, bit his finger, and wrote a bloody letter on the wall.Then, he took off his outer robe, took off the white belt around his waist, and with a shake of his hand, the belt passed through the beam.

After Zhao Shigu tied a knot on it, he fastened his belt and hung it up directly with the help of a wooden pier in the cell.He kicked off the wooden plinth, hanging by his neck.

He gritted his teeth tightly, opened his eyes wide, and never struggled.

A sense of dizziness gradually spread.When everything in front of him was completely dark, Zhao Shigu's neck tilted, and he lost his breath.

In the prison cell, it became even more silent.

After a long time, the sound of footsteps came, but it was approaching evening, and the jailer brought food.When the jailer saw that Zhao Shigu had hanged himself, he exclaimed in shock, turned around and ran away, and immediately reported it.

If ordinary people hang themselves in their cells, that's fine. Anyway, in prisons, dead people are common.But the person in front of him is different, this is Zhao Shigu, the eldest son of the Zhao family.

Identity is not simple.

The jailer reported, and the news was reported layer by layer, and soon reached Jia Xing's hands.

When Jia Xing heard the news, he was surprised. He didn't expect that the Zhao family was so decisive that they actually contributed to Zhao Shigu's suicide.In particular, this suicide was a suicide by hanging, and a blood letter pleading guilty was left on the wall.

It means that Zhao Shigu has committed all the crimes, and it will not affect the Zhao family.

Jia Xing thought in his heart that Zhao Shao was not easy, and within a short period of time, he brought the matter to an end.Everything started with Zhao Shigu and ended with Zhao Shigu.When it comes to power, how do you deal with it?Forming a party to gather forces while framing Zuo Yu at the same time, on the contrary, he ended up stealing chickens and losing money, and the tricks were too clever.

As a result, nothing was obtained.

The strong men here in Zhao Shao cut off their wrists and directly abandoned their pawns to save the car. Zhao Shigu died, and the Zhao family remained stable.

Jia Xing personally went to the prison, ordered Zhao Shigu's body to be tidied up, and left the evidence of suicide pleading guilty, and went straight to the palace to the cabinet on duty.

Even at night, there are people on duty in the cabinet.

The person on duty tonight is the cabinet secretary Sima Chong, who is the cabinet's second assistant.As soon as Sima Chong got the news of Jia Xing, especially knowing Zhao Shigu's identity, he didn't dare to waste time, so he quickly arranged someone to invite Zhu Shanchang to discuss the matter.

If it was something else, Sima Chong could just say it out and deal with it directly.

When it comes to the Zhao family, he dare not deal with it.The attendants went to inform, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Zhu Shanchang came in a hurry.After he entered the cabinet, he saw Sima Chong and Jia Xing who was still in the cabinet.

Zhu Shan said: "Sima Gong, Jia Shangshu, what happened?"

Sima Chong nodded towards Jia Xing.

Jia Xing didn't waste time, and quickly reported Zhao Shigu's case, Zhao Shigu's confession in blood written in prison, and his suicide by hanging himself.

After reporting everything, Jia Xing said: "Shoufu, Zhao Shigu's case was only transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Justice today. The lower officials are still sorting out the case and investigating the authenticity. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shigu committed suicide at night. This is a big matter, and the next official not only delays, but immediately comes to play."

Zhu Shanchang also frowned deeply, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

It involves the Zhao family.

If this matter caused the emperor to be dissatisfied, it would be a bit bad.

Zhu Shanchang thought for a while, he also knew that the case was clear and there was nothing to discuss, so he said: "Jia Xing, where is the memorial of this case?"

"Here I am."

Jia Xing immediately took out the memorial.

Zhu Shanchang took it over and said: "You are waiting in the cabinet, I will go to see His Majesty immediately."

"Yes!"

Jia Xing and Sima Chong answered in unison.

Zhu Shanchang stood up and went to the palace. After the servant reported, Zhu Shanchang entered the hall and saw Wang Qi who was reading a book. He stepped forward and said: "My minister Zhu Shanchang, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Wang Qidao: "Zhu Qing, it's late at night, I heard that you are not in charge of the night watch today, why did you rush into the palace?"

Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has dealt with a case. This case has been brought up, and I think it is a big matter, so please read it, Your Majesty."

Wang Qi said: "What's the matter?"

Zhu Shanchang handed over the memorial and said, "Please read it, Your Majesty."

Wang Qi took it over, read it quickly, and twitched his brows twice. After reading it, he closed the memorial, and Wang Qi ordered: "Zhao Shigu killed people, and now he commits suicide in fear of crime, and the matter is over. But the case So far, there are still many people who have been killed, so the corresponding compensation must be properly arranged in the future."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Shanchang answered immediately.

He couldn't see what Wang Qi was thinking, so he could only follow Wang Qi's order for the time being.

"Report!"

At this moment, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shao, the head of the logistics department, is asking to see you."

"Xuan!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

The servant went to pass the decree, and within a short time, Zhao Shao had already entered.

After Zhao Shao entered the main hall and stood still, he bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "Minister Zhao Shao, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. I just learned about Zhao Shigu's murder case. Although Zhao Shigu committed suicide to apologize, Zhao Shigu In the case of Gu, it was because of the lax conduct of the minister's family, which led to this situation in the Zhao family."

"As the grandfather of Zhao Shigu, I did not fulfill my duty of teaching and restrained Zhao Shigu, so I am also guilty in this case. Your Majesty, Zhao Shao, please resign from the position of Minister of the Logistics Department."

He didn't say much, just came to plead guilty, this is the attitude of the Zhao family.

If you make a mistake, you must confess your guilt and be punished.

I still want to find a relationship and go through the back door. Once I am investigated, I will spit out a lot of it.

This is Zhao Shao's appointment.

It is also his many years of experience as an official.

Chapter 921 Apologize

Wang Qi stared at Zhao Shao who was already kneeling on the ground after saluting, his expression remained calm and did not change in any way.

He knew Zhao Shao's nature.

After all, we have known each other for many years.

This is a person who pays great attention to the rules of the officialdom, and is a veteran in the officialdom.Moreover, after Zhao Shao was in a high position, he had extremely strict constraints on his family.After all, the Zhao family gave birth to Zhao Yuyan, the Queen of Qi. Zhao Shao has always planned for his daughter, restraining the family and ensuring that the family will not affect Zhao Yuyan or the status of the prince Wang You.

This is Zhao Shao's ambition.

Once the crown prince Wang You succeeds to the throne, the influence of the Zhao family will be even greater.

This is inevitable.

Zhao Shao may not be able to see this day, but the descendants of the Zhao family can see this day and enjoy the endless glory of the future.

Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "Minister Zhao, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zhao Shao heard it, he was relieved.

Wang Qi didn't let him get up, so this matter is really difficult to handle.Now that he took the initiative to plead guilty, Wang Qi asked him to get up, which proved that Wang Qi was not very angry with him.

This matter is also easy to handle.

Zhao Shao stood up and bowed, with a look of self-blame, he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, this time Cao Jishan was killed because I failed to restrain the family members and fulfill my responsibilities, which led to this incident. files."

Wang Qi said: "Zhao Shigu committed suicide, and the case is considered to be completely closed. But the Zhao family was wronged in the end. For this matter, you should go to the Cao family and apologize to Cao Jing."

"Old minister obeys!"

Zhao Shao responded directly.

To him, apologizing is nothing more than losing face, it is extremely easy and simple.

As long as it doesn't affect the Zhao family, everything is fine.

Wang Qi said: "Go down, do your work."

"Yes!"

Zhao Shao bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

After Zhao Shao left, only Wang Qi and Zhu Shanchang were left in the hall.

Wang Qi looked at Zhu Shanchang, and ordered: "Zhu Qing, there is no need to hide the fact that Zhao Shigu killed Cao Jishan. Let someone write an article about this matter, and publish it in the Qi State Daily to warn everyone. The Son of Heaven commits the same crime as the common people. No matter who it is, if you kill someone, you will have to pay with your life. No matter what high-ranking officials or nobles, as long as you kill someone, no one will escape."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Shanchang responded immediately.
