Chapter 129 The widow ordered you to arrest Zhao Kuo

After a while, Guo Zong left Zhao Kuo's study with a pale face.

Zhao Kuo still seemed to be fine, and he would tease his kids at home every day, and then dive into his study.

Pingyuan Jun arrived again two days later, his face looked very bad: "Zhao Kuo, this time Lin Xiangru and the others are coming in full force, and they want your life."

Pingyuan Jun’s words are not exaggerated at all. The public opinion that Zhao Kuo killed Yu Xin in Handan City has formed a storm. Although no one dares to point fingers at important officials like Zhao Kuo, private discussions are inevitable.

In the political arena, scholars led by Lin Xiangru and Lian Po sent ministers to submit their letters again. This time their request became more and more determined - to kill Zhao Kuo and to calm the anger of the people! When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Are the General and Lin Qing treat me as a traitor?"

Pingyuan Jun sneered and said, "It would be nothing if it were Lian Po and Lin Xiangru. I have fought with them for decades, so why have I ever been afraid of them?

The key problem is that the king's attitude has also begun to change!"

Zhao Kuo's pupils shrank slightly and he said, "How can one change?"

Pingyuan Jun said with a serious expression: "I have some people in the palace... who are taking care of me. I have heard bad news these days, and then I learned that the king had summoned Pingyang Jun, so I just entered the palace and wanted to see the king.

What do you think of the result?

Hey, the king doesn’t even see this marquis!”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into silence.

Handan Palace City, the main hall.

King Zhao looked at the Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and said lightly: "Pingyang Jun, so the current evidence can only prove that Yu Xin is indeed suspected of colluding with Qin, but it cannot prove that Zhao Kuo is not the murderer who killed Yu Xin?"

Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao said in a deep voice: "Return to the king, that's exactly what it is.

However, the old minister thought that since Zhao Kuo had already possessed evidence that Yu Xin had secretly communicated with Qin, there was no need for Zhao Kuo to kill Yu Xin halfway."

King Zhao looked at the memorials presented by Pingyang Jun, which clearly stated all the case handling experiences, including interrogation records, witness testimony, various physical evidence, etc. The bamboo slips made of thick bamboo pieces filled two large baskets, weighing at least hundreds of pounds.

Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao has served as Si Kou for more than ten years and is absolutely experienced in handling cases and is impeccable. Although King Zhao has never read these memorials, he knows that every one of them should be worthy of consideration.

King Zhao was silent for a while and said lightly: "Send the order and throw Zhao Kuo into prison."

King Pingyang was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate.

Although the old minister had some doubts about Zhao Kuo at the beginning, now the facts are in front of him, Zhao Kuo really has no possibility to kill Yu Xin."

King Zhao looked at Pingyang Jun coldly and said lightly: "I said that, arrest Zhao Kuo immediately! Pingyang Jun, do you want to disobey?"

Under the gaze of King Zhao, Pingyang Jun finally had to lower his head and said, "I understand."

After the King of Pingyang retreated, King Zhao sat alone in place and suddenly spoke, "Yuxian."

The figure of Taoxian appeared: "The old minister is here."

King Zhao said lightly: "You talk to me about Zhao Kuo Mansion.

Zhao Kuo sighed and said to Pingyuan Jun in front of him: "Honor, since Pingyang Jun can enter the palace but you can't do it, it can only mean one thing--the king is about to attack me."

Pingyuan Jun was shocked and subconsciously shook his head: "Impossible! I have already learned from Pingyang Jun that you are innocent.

And he would also—" Xu Li's voice sounded from outside the door, instantly interrupting Pingyuan Jun's words: "Master, it's not good. There are many officers and soldiers outside, surrounding our mansion!"

Zhao Kuo looked at Pingyuan Jun and laughed: "Look, look, I said it."

Pingyuan Jun's face changed and he stood up suddenly: "I will go out and have a look with you!"

As soon as the two of them arrived in front of the gate, the door was knocked open with a slam. Hundreds of fully armed Zhao soldiers rushed in with bright swords.

Pingyuan Jun stared at the Zhao soldiers in front of him and sneered: "You are so brave, you dare to break into the mansion of Zhao Qing, the important minister of Zhao Qing in broad daylight?"

A helpless voice sounded: "Brother, it's me."

Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao appeared in front of Pingyuan Jun.

Pingyuan Jun was stunned and after a few seconds, he said, "Why are you?"

Pingyang Jun sighed and said, "The king's order is a must."

Anger appeared on Pingyuan Jun's face and he said coldly: "The king is definitely deceived by those who are interested. Why don't you persuade the king?"

Pingyang Jun's face became more and more helpless: "Brother, I have already persuaded you, but the king has made up his mind. Do you want me to disobey the king's orders on the spot?"

Pingyuan Jun was stunned.

If you say a thousand words, Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun are certainly the uncles of King Zhao and can exert great influence on King Zhao, but King Zhao is the supreme ruler of Zhao! The scene fell silent for a moment.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo's laughter suddenly sounded: "The two men, both of them are their own people, why should we make this look like this? No one can let some people laugh at it.

Since the king has his life, Zhao Kuo will go to the Handan prison."

Pingyuan Jun was shocked and subconsciously said, "No! If you really go to the prison, wouldn't the outside world even more believe that you are the murderer?"

Zhao Kuo smiled casually and said seriously: "You are so bad about this.

I, Zhao Kuo, once told Junhou that the two words I have always followed most are two words - fairness.

Since I am suspicious, it is fair that I am now in prison and becoming a prisoner.”

Pingyuan Jun was anxious and didn't care about his demeanor and shouted directly: "Are you crazy?"

If they really go in, Lin Xiangru and the others will become more and more rampant!"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "I haven't finished speaking yet, please wait.

I am innocent, so the two Junhous are naturally aware of this, so I will ask the two Junhous to preside over me after I go to prison."

Pingyuan Jun and Zhao Kuo looked at each other and found that Zhao Kuo was calm and fearless at this moment.

Pingyuan Jun was silent for a long time, sighed and said, "Then you go."

Zhao Kuo turned around, looked at the news, and his mother and two wives, who looked anxious, came forward and hugged them one by one, whispered a few words of comfort, and then smiled and said, "Don't panic, I'll be back in a few days."

A moment later, Zhao Kuo got on Pingyangjun's carriage and headed towards the prison in Handan City under the escort of hundreds of Zhao soldiers.

Xu Li stood at the gate calmly and watched Zhao Kuo leave.

A Zhao retainer who was very close to Xu Li couldn't help but whisper: "Master of the family, what if the king can't give it to the lord fair?"

Xu Li snorted, and saw that there were no outsiders on both sides, and then said lightly: "Are you really a fool to be a lord?

If others cannot give us fairness, then the justice will naturally be taken back by the lord!
