Whenever Han You thought he knew the big guys in Beijing, they would always refresh his knowledge.
Chen Yongzhi, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Punishment and the right minister, has a high official position, but he does not have a deep foundation.
Wu Dingbi, the top leader of the Ministry of Punishments and Minister of Public Affairs, is true, but he is the person who talks about matters in the Ministry of Punishments, not the officials, rites, and households.
Of the six ministries, the Ministry of Industry is undoubtedly the worst, followed by the Ministry of War.
If there is no war in the country, the Ministry of War really has no say. They are positioned as the kind of players in the court who pinch their necks, roll their eyes, and brag when they let go.
The Ministry of Punishment is stronger than the Ministry of War, but not as powerful as the officials, rites, and households.
Han You would understand if the three ministers or Zuo Shilang didn't give the Zhao family face.
But you, a minister of the Ministry of Justice and Zuo Shilang, are not denying face to the Zhao family, but are directly arresting Zhao Zhongzheng. This makes Han You very incomprehensible. It is not a deep hatred, and it is absolutely impossible to "arrest" people.
Han You and Wu Dingbi were not familiar with each other at all, so it was impossible for them to rush to ask.
There is no need to arrest people, they are invited, and Zhao Zhongzheng, who is wearing official robes, is brought into the main hall with no expression on his face.
Shangshu Wu Dingbi sauntered away with his hands behind his back, as if giving full authority to Chen Yongzhi.
Chen Yongzhi sat there, drinking tea, supporting Han You.
"Zhao Zhongzheng, the military supervisor, has met Mr. Chen."
After entering the main hall, I bowed first, which gave me enough face, no matter how unhappy I felt.
"Something happened unexpectedly, and our Criminal Department had to invite Inspector Zhao to come."
Chen Yongzhi nodded slightly, neither warm nor cold, just a greeting.
Old Chen looked at Han You and said, "Captain Han, Inspector Zhao has been brought here. If you have any questions, just confront him."
Han You's plan was completely disrupted. Who would have thought that the Ministry of Punishment would actually take over this "case".
"Zhao Jianzheng."
Han You was not a newbie. He sat there with a businesslike look and said, "Four days ago, two thieves broke into the residence of Mr. Zhao Tai, the Minister of Civil Affairs. They kidnapped Zhao Feiyu, the daughter of the Zhao family. Mr. Zhao is responsible for this. Have you heard of it?"
Zhao Zhongzheng looked extremely strange.
He was still thinking about it when he was in the government office just now. Han You came to see him for no reason and said a harsh word without starting or ending. It was probably because of this guy that he got together with Zhao Tai. Who knew it was because of this incident.
Zhao Zhongzheng looked at Han You, trying to figure out what the latter meant.
"Captain Han...I heard it from someone." Zhao Zhongzheng was too lazy to beat around the bush: "Could it be that Zhao Shangshu is looking for the Yi Dao Guard?"
With a "pop" sound, Han You slapped his hand on the table, causing his hand to tremble and hurt.
"Zhao Zhongzheng!" Han You shouted sharply: "You really don't take me, Han You, and my Yi Dao Guard seriously."
"What does Captain Han mean by this?"
"Okay, let's pretend."
Han You sneered and said: "The affairs of your Zhao family have nothing to do with me. Your Zhao family bribed the guards and soldiers of the capital and captured the daughter of Zhao Shangshu. It's okay, but it's not impossible. You can do such a thing in the capital, because of your Zhao family." For the family’s sake, it’s fine if I don’t care, but in the end you dared to hurt my people, Zhao Zhongzheng, you really don’t take me seriously.”
Zhao Zhongzheng's expression was uncertain. He was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Captain Han, can you take a step to speak."
Before Han You could speak, Chen Yongzhi stood up and said with a smile, "I will order someone to get some tea."
After finishing speaking, Chen Yongzhi left wisely, leaving the main hall to the two of them.
This is how it is in official circles. Everyone gives each other face. If Zhao Zhongzheng directly told Chen Yongzhi to avoid it, Lao Chen would have to hate him to death.
After Chen Yongzhi left, Zhao Zhongzheng saluted Han You: "Forgive me, General Han. I have no choice but to lower my rank."
The "camp captain" turned into a "general" and saluted again, keeping his posture very low.
Han You hugged his arms and said, "That means you admit it."
"In front of General Han, how can I prevaricate." Zhao Zhongzheng smiled bitterly: "Originally, family scandals should not be made public. Zhao Shangshu and Zhao Feiyu are both members of my Zhao family. Because of some misunderstandings, I came up with this trick, but I didn't know that it would alarm people. General Han.”
"I don't care about your Zhao family's affairs. How can you say that your Zhao family hurt my people?"
Looking at the aggressive Han You, Zhao Zhongzheng was still not angry: "I wonder how injured General Han's subordinates are."
In fact, Zhao Zhongzheng was also a little confused. He only knew that the person was kidnapped and then robbed. A fire was set in the hiding place, leaving only two corpses. He didn't know what happened that night. As for what happened at that time, The Jingwei and military soldiers present were also transferred away by Zhao Tai.
Han You snorted: "I'm still pouting on the bed."
"What do you mean by pouting?"
"Just lying down."
"Oh." Zhao Zhongzheng glanced at Han You's face: "I don't know how I can apologize to General Han so that General Han can calm down and expose this matter."
Han You cursed in his heart and held out his hand to stop hitting the smiling man. He thought that this matter was going to cause a big fuss in the court, but he didn't know that Zhao Zhongzheng was such a coward.
"What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, how about you go and make amends to General Han's men in person?"
Han You frowned. Zhao Zhongzheng's official position was not high, but no matter how low he was, he was from the Zhao family. He even dared to kidnap the minister's daughter. He thought he was a bold young man, but he had such a low profile.
"Let's not talk about the injuries to my men. From now on, your Zhao family can no longer do such things in the capital, even if the people of your Zhao family are kidnapped. If it happens again, don't force me to do anything to your Zhao family. Do it!"
Zhao Zhongzheng, who had a very low posture, had a slight change in his expression and looked directly at Han You.
"What are you looking at!"
"General Zhao is warning me about the Zhao family?"
Han You was overjoyed. He was not afraid of falling out, but he was afraid of not falling out. He seemed to know Zhao Zhongzheng's Ji Dian.
"What you mean is that you don't admit your fault for what happened before."
"What happened in Zhao Shangshu's house is my fault, Zhao Zhongzheng's, not the Zhao family's."
Zhao Zhongzheng lowered his head again and said quietly: "I hope General Han will not be confused."
"I understand." Han You snapped his fingers: "You can guarantee that you won't do this kind of thing in Beijing next time, right?"
"yes."
"But you can't guarantee that the Zhao family won't do this kind of thing in Beijing, that's what you mean."
Zhao Zhongzheng did not hesitate at all: "The Zhao family does not guarantee anyone, and there is no need to guarantee anyone."
"good!"
Han You laughed: "You, Zhao Zhongzheng, can admit your mistakes to me, Han You, but your Zhao family will not admit their mistakes like anyone else. Not only do you not admit your mistakes, you still do whatever you want. I understand."
"Then General Han means..."
Zhao Zhongzheng raised his head with a sarcastic look on his face: "You want my Zhao family to apologize and act as guarantee?"
"good."
"Colonel Han, Colonel Han, Colonel Han."
Zhao Zhongzheng no longer looked as timid as before. Not only did he look sarcastic, he also shook his head.
"I originally thought you were a smart person, but it turns out that you are so stupid. I really don't know what to say."
Han You clenched his fists, smiled and said, "Try saying it again."
Zhao Zhongzheng stopped talking nonsense, turned around and left.
It was a "coincidence" that when Zhao Zhongzheng was going out, Chen Yongzhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, came in.
Zhao Zhongzheng saluted: "Master Chen, what Captain Han said is nonsense. I have nothing to do with the Xueye assassin. If there is irrefutable evidence, I will bow my head and plead guilty in accordance with the laws of the country and the court. But if I have framed this official, and I will definitely not admit it, so I will say goodbye."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongzheng left directly, very proud and very Der.
Chen Yongzhi walked in and looked at Han You, confused.
"Do you want to enmity with Zhao Zhongzheng?"
Han You shrugged, neither admitting nor denying.
Chen Yongzhi asked: "Why?"
"There's no such thing as a why."
"What I don't understand is, if you want to enmity, why don't you plan it secretly? Isn't this just a warning? Do you want to ask the Zhao family to take action against you first?"
Han You smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "Let's go, bye."
This time, it was Chen Yongzhi's turn to be extremely puzzled.
