The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 535 Visiting Prison (1)

"You and I can guess what your Majesty is thinking at will." Brother Zhao interrupted his little sister: "Don't say these things outside, so as not to cause trouble. Recently, there is a lot of chaos in the capital."

"Yeah," Brother Zhao also came over upon hearing the words, and nodded Zhao Jin's head: "You are a blunt person, so I don't know what's wrong with it. I see that it's best to stay in the mansion obediently these days. So as not to cause trouble."

Zhao Jin pushed his hand away: "I am also worried about my father. My father seems to be very anxious these days, and I don't know what to do. Your Majesty's death came too suddenly. This capital city will be a big one in the future." Who can say what the situation will be?" Zhao Jin, who was always optimistic, also felt a little worried at the moment. The dragons have no leader, and the court without the emperor is really going to be okay?After all, Empress Dowager Yide is old, even if she comes out to preside over the overall situation at this moment, she may not be able to suppress it, and it is still very worrying.

Second Brother Zhao patted Zhao Jin on the head: "You are young and always thinking about what to do with these things. Now you might as well just stay at home and embroider the dowry. This is the serious thing. I think my brother-in-law is really disrespectful." It's ridiculous, I don't know how to treat you well, seeing you messing around every day."

Zhao Jin curled her lips, and was about to refute her second brother's words, but saw the servant rushing in, with a panicked expression on his face: "Eldest young master, second young master, it's not good, a group of officers and soldiers are coming outside. Come to our house to catch someone!"

Master Zhao is not in the mansion at the moment, he went out early in the morning, there are only two young masters in the mansion.Brother Zhao became anxious when he heard it: "What officers and soldiers, who are you arresting?"

Eldest Young Master Zhao should be more prudent, interrupted Second Brother Zhao, just looked at the servant and said, "What's going on?"

The family member was about to cry, and he couldn't articulate what to say urgently. He just said: "I don't know, those officers and soldiers are vicious, and they are shouting to arrest the murderer who murdered His Majesty. Young master, what should I do?"

"Assassinate His Majesty?" Zhao Jin stood up in surprise: "Isn't Your Majesty... seriously ill? Why did you become murdered again? What are you doing in our house? Is it possible that our house will also murder His Majesty? It's just nonsense !"

"Little sister, don't make trouble." Brother Zhao frowned: "This matter is no small matter. Since the officers and soldiers came outside, I guess I heard some rumors. Second brother, take care of my little sister. I'll go out and have a look." After saying that, he lifted the corner of his robe ready to go out.Unexpectedly, before stepping out of the door, they heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from the courtyard, a large group of officers and soldiers rushed in, blocking the courtyard completely, and surrounded the three brothers and sisters.

Brother Zhao said coldly: "Everyone, dare to ask what happened in the mansion, and I want to trouble you for such a move?"

"Young master of the Zhao family," the leading official also sneered: "Your Zhao family plotted to poison His Majesty, the evidence is convincing. A heinous crime, an unforgivable crime. Take it away!"

"What a mess," Zhao Jin said angrily. Seeing the officers and soldiers who came forward to arrest him, she began to resist: "Why did our Zhao family murder His Majesty, what evidence? Don't make false claims here. My Zhao family has been loyal for many years How can you allow your name to be so casually slandered!"

The officer and soldier smiled, Brother Zhao stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Jin's resistance, and said in a low voice: "Little sister, be quiet, don't do anything, this matter is strange, don't make trouble until the truth comes out!"

Zhao Jin naturally listened to her elder brother's words. Although she was unwilling, she obediently withdrew her movements.But the second brother Zhao quit, and asked impulsively: "If you don't make it clear, don't even try to take us out of this door. My Zhao family is not empty, how can we tolerate such slander!"

"Miss Zhao wants evidence, right?" The leader of the officers and soldiers also seemed a little impatient, with an indescribably weird expression on his face: "Do you remember the two ginseng that Ms. Zhao sent into the palace a few days ago? However, it was tested by Divine Doctor Xia himself, and it was poisoned. His Majesty drank the soup with ginseng slices that day, and the poison came out. Your Zhao family is so vicious that you sent such a poison into the palace. If you want to murder His Majesty, you dare to say that your Zhao family is wronged!"

Zhao Jin was stunned, Second Brother Zhao was a little strange, looked at Zhao Jin and said, "Little sister... what's going on?" He naturally knew what was going on, Zhao Jin just asked him to help steal those two ginseng, these two ginseng Although ginseng is precious, it is not irreplaceable to the Zhao family.That day, the second brother Zhao only heard Zhao Jin say that he was helping a friend, and he was also very warm-hearted, so he naturally agreed.But what is going on with the words of this officer and soldier now?Brother Zhao naturally wouldn't believe that his little sister was really a sinner who murdered the emperor, but how did all this happen?
Brother Zhao saw the strange expressions of Zhao Jin and Second Brother Zhao, he understood a little bit, looked at Zhao Jin sternly, and asked, "Jin'er, what's going on?"

When Zhao Jin was asked so seriously by her elder brother, she also came back to her senses, shook her head and said: "No, elder brother, that day Ying'er asked me for two ginseng for your majesty's health, I thought about the ginseng from our hometown. If there were some, they stole them out, but never poisoned them! I definitely didn’t do it, I didn’t intend to poison His Majesty, and besides, what did I do to poison His Majesty!” Zhao Jin was a little sober when she said the last sentence. Looking at the chief official, he said so.

Brother Zhao frowned and looked at Zhao Jin, but now was not the time to criticize the younger sister, besides, Brother Zhao also knew that Zhao Jin would definitely not be the one who poisoned her.Their Zhao family has always been wise and safe, and has always been loyal to His Majesty's faction.Although now because of the relationship between Zhao Jin and Jiang Xinzhi, he already has the consciousness to stand on the side of the thirteenth prince, but he didn't show it clearly.Besides, although their family's status among the military officials in the capital is not low, they are definitely not high.Thinking of this, Big Brother Zhao said to the chief officer: "Little sister is definitely not the one who would do such a thing, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding."

But the chief official didn't answer Brother Zhao's words, he just waved his hand and said: "I'm sorry, Master Zhao, this is not the time to bargain, there is no room for negotiation. We are just following orders, and these explanations are left behind. Let’s talk in prison.” After saying that, he turned to his men behind him and said, “Take him away!”

The Zhao family didn't dare to resist so blatantly because they were scruples about the orders from above, and it would not be worth the loss if they would be charged with a bigger crime.Therefore, although the second brother Zhao and Zhao Jin were angry in their hearts, they still forcibly endured the tone and were taken away by the officials along with the eldest brother Zhao.Brother Zhao winked at the servant in the mansion before he left. That servant was the servant who had been with Brother Zhao all the time. Seeing this scene, he also stood aside silently, and waited for the officials to take him away and start to seal up the entire mansion. Only then did he sneak out.

……

The news that the Zhao family was seized reached Jiang Xinzhi's ears in an instant. Jiang Xinzhi was busy with Jiang Ruan's affairs these days, but he didn't want the Zhao family to catch fire at this time.Surprised and angry, he said almost without thinking: "This is a false accusation! It's impossible!"
