Chapter 540 Implicated (4)

"Your Majesty's thoughts are not something you and I can guess at will." Zhao Erge interrupted his younger sister: "Don't say these words outside, so as to save trouble. The capital has been in chaos recently."

"Yes," Brother Zhao also came over and nodded Zhao Jin's head: "You are straightforward and don't know what's wrong. I saw that I would be better off staying in the mansion these days, so as not to have any trouble."

Zhao Jin pushed away his hand: "I'm also worried about my father. My father has seemed very anxious these days, and I don't know what I can do. Your Majesty's death is too sudden. What will happen in the future in the capital? Who can say it?" Zhao Jin, who has always been optimistic, also felt a little worried at this moment. Will the court without a leader and without an emperor be in charge? Empress Dowager Yide is old after all. Even if she comes out to take charge of the overall situation, she is afraid that she will not be able to suppress it. It is still very worrying.

Brother Zhao patted Zhao Jin's head: "You are young and always want to do these things. Now you might as well stay at home to embroider your dowry. This is the serious thing. I think my brother-in-law is really outrageous, and I don't know how to treat you well, and you're just making trouble every day."

Zhao Jin curled his lips and was about to refute his second brother's words, but saw the servants running in in a hurry. His expression was very panicked: "The eldest young master and the second young master, it's not good. A group of officers and soldiers came from outside, and they were going to come to our house to catch people!"

Mr. Zhao was not in the mansion at this moment and went out early in the morning. There were only two young masters in the mansion. Brother Zhao was anxious when he heard this: "What officers and soldiers, who are they catching?"

Master Zhao should be more steady and interrupted Brother Zhao, just looking at the clerk and said, "What's the matter?"

The servant was about to cry as he saw that he couldn't even explain his anxious words clearly, and he only said, "I don't know, the group of officers and soldiers are so fierce that they shouted to capture the murderer who was trying to murder His Majesty. What should I do?"

"Murder Your Majesty?" Zhao Jin stood up in surprise: "Isn't Your Majesty... seriously ill and unable to be cured? Why did he become murdered again? What should I do in our mansion? Will our mansion still murder your majesty? It's simply nonsense!"

"Little sister, don't make trouble." Brother Zhao frowned: "This matter is quite serious. Since there are officers and soldiers outside, I think I have heard some news. Second brother, take good care of my younger sister, I'll go out and take a look." After that, he raised the corner of his robe and prepared to go out. Who knew that before he took a step, he heard the sound of messy footsteps from the yard. A large group of officers and soldiers rushed in, blocking the yard, and surrounding the three brothers and sisters.

Brother Zhao said coldly: "Everyone, how dare you ask what happened in the mansion? I will bother you to work like this?"

"Young Master of the Zhao family," the leader of the official sneered: "You Zhao family plotted to poison Your Majesty, and the evidence was conclusive. The heinous crimes were unforgivable. Take them away!"

"What a mess," Zhao Jin said angrily, looking at the officers and soldiers who came forward to arrest people, they began to resist: "How could our Zhao family murder Your Majesty? What evidence? Don't talk nonsense here. My Zhao family's name of loyalty and righteousness for many years can't allow you to slander so casually!"

The officer and soldier smiled, and Brother Zhao reached out to stop Zhao Jin's resistance and whispered: "Little sister, be quiet, don't take action. There is something strange about this. Don't cause trouble before the truth is revealed!"

Zhao Jin naturally listened to his elder brother's words, and although he was unwilling to accept it, he still took his actions obediently. However, Zhao's second brother quit and asked impulsively: "If you don't say it clearly, don't think about taking us out of this door. I, the Zhao family, are not alone, how can I tolerate such slander!"

"Ms. Zhao wants evidence, right?" The officer and soldier leader seemed a little impatient, and his expression was indescribable: "Do you still remember the two ginsengs sent to the palace a few days ago? The ginseng was personally tested by Doctor Xia and brought poison. His Majesty drank the soup with ginseng tablets that day, and then the poison was released. Your Zhao family was so vicious that he actually sent such a poison into the palace. If you want to murder Your Majesty, you dare to say that your Zhao family was wronged!"

Zhao Jin was stunned. Brother Zhao was a little surprised and looked at Zhao Jin and said, "Little sister... what's going on?" He naturally knew what was going on. Zhao Jin asked him to help steal the two ginseng. Although these two ginsengs were precious, they were not irreplaceable to the Zhao family. On that day, Brother Zhao only heard Zhao Jin say that he was helping his friend. He was also a kind-hearted person, so he naturally agreed. But what happened to the officers and soldiers now? Brother Zhao naturally would not believe that his younger sister was really a sinner who murdered the emperor, but how did all this happen?

Zhao Jin and Zhao's second brother looked strange in his expressions. Brother Zhao saw it. He understood a little, looked at Zhao Jin sternly, and asked, "Jin'er, what's going on?"

Zhao Jin was asked so seriously by his elder brother, and then he came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, brother, that day, Ying'er said that he asked me for two ginseng to help His Majesty. I thought that there were some ginseng in our hometown, so he stole it out, but it was never poisoned! This was definitely not what I did. I didn't want to poison His Majesty. Besides, what did I do to poison His Majesty!" Zhao Jin said the last sentence, and was already a little awake, looking at the official commander and said so.

Brother Zhao frowned and looked at Zhao Jin, but now it is not the time to blame his younger sister. Besides, Brother Zhao also knows that Zhao Jin will definitely not be the poisoned person. The Zhao family has always been self-protection, and is loyal to His Majesty. Although now, because of Zhao Jin and Jiang Xinzhi, they have become aware that they have to stand on the side of the Thirteenth Prince, they have not shown it clearly. Besides, although their family has a good status among the military officers in the capital, they are definitely not high. At most, they are a mean person, and they can't be attracted to it. Thinking of this, Brother Zhao said to the official commander: "My sister is definitely not a person who will do such a thing. I'm afraid there is any misunderstanding."

The official officer did not accept Brother Zhao's words, and just waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, the young master of the Zhao family. Now this is not a time to bargain, so there is room for negotiation. We are just ordered to do things. These explanations will be kept in prison." After that, he said to his subordinates behind him: "Take them away!"

The Zhao family was afraid of the orders from their superiors, and they did not dare to resist so blatantly. At that time, it would be better to be punished. Although Zhao and Zhao Jin were angry, they still held back this tone and were taken away by the official officer with the official. Before leaving, Brother Zhao gave a wink at the servants in the mansion. The servant was a servant who had been following Brother Zhao. Seeing this, he stood aside silently. When the official officer took the person away, he sneaked out.
