The next day.
East Chamber.
Cao Shaoqin walked into the meeting hall, his hair graying and his official robes imposing.
In the spacious meeting hall, a person sat at the head of the table. It was the Governor of the East Chamber, Cao Zhengchun.
Cao Shaoqin strode forward like a dragon and tiger. He came to Cao Zhengchun in a few steps, bowed and said,"Supervisor!"
"Has there been news from the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa?" Cao Zhengchun raised his fingers and took a sip of tea.
"Reporting to the superintendent, the secret agents hiding in the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa have reported that Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang returned to the villa late at night. Both of them were injured, and Duan Tianya was poisoned and unconscious.”
Cao Shaoqin reported.
Hearing this news, Cao Zhengchun was overjoyed. He chuckled and said in a sharp and thin voice," Good! Good injury! It was a good thing that he had injured the two secret agents of Iron-guts Divine Marquis. The enmity between Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa and Black Rock had been formed.”
"Supervisor, do you need to add fuel to the fire?”Cao Shaoqin asked.
Cao Zhengchun shook his head and said,"There's no need for that. With Zhu's temper, he won't be able to take this lying down. We just need to sit on the sidelines and watch a good show.”
"The superintendent is wise!" Cao Shaoqin flattered.
……
Black Bamboo Manor.
Chu Xiao strolled in the back garden, admiring the flowers of different colors.
At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him.
Chu Xiao didn't turn around. He could tell who it was just by listening to the voice. He said lightly,""Fatty Chen, what's the matter?"
Fatty Chen cupped his hands at Chu Xiao and said,""Sect Master, the 500,000 taels of silver from the magistrate of Lingzhou has been sent over. Please take a look.”
Chu Xiao came back to his senses and saw Fatty Chen holding a stack of silver notes in his hand. The words of Tong Bao Bank were printed on it.
"Since the money has been delivered, send someone to inform the East Hall to come and take their share.”Chu Xiao didn't take the silver notes and ordered.
"Yes, Gang Leader!"
Fatty Chen nodded and quickly walked out of the back garden. He called a clever killer over and asked him to go to the East Chamber.
The killer set off with the order and soon brought the news to the East Chamber.
The East Chamber reported to the second officer, Cao Shaoqin.
When Cao Shaoqin received the news, he thought about it and immediately put down the matters at hand to personally inform Cao Zhengchun.
"Supervisor, someone from Blackstone just came and said that the 500,000 silver notes from the magistrate of the Spiritual State have been delivered.”Cao Shaoqin suggested.
"Oh?" Cao Zhengchun nodded slightly. The money from the magistrate of the Spiritual State had already been sent over?
He spent 500,000 taels of silver to buy an official position before the new year, and after the new year, he sent this silver to our family. He's a nimble person!
Alright, you go prepare the sedan chair. I'll also make a trip to the Black Bamboo Manor to meet Sir God Wudu.”
"This subordinate will prepare the sedan chair now." Cao Shaoqin cupped his hands and said.
"Go ahead." Cao Zhengchun raised his orchid fingers and smiled. He was obviously in a good mood.
......
Two hours later.
Cao Zhengchun rode a sedan chair and brought his subordinates to the outside of the Black Bamboo Manor.
"Governor, we have arrived at the Black Bamboo Manor.”
Cao Zhengchun walked out of the sedan chair and looked up at the huge manor in front of him. He didn't stay for long and led Cao Shaoqing and his subordinates into the manor's main gate.
Inside the villa, Chu Xiao had heard the news that Cao Zhengchun had come personally. He didn't expect Cao Zhengchun to come personally. However, it didn't matter. Since Cao Zhengchun had come, he was just there to entertain him.
"Supervisor Cao."
No matter what he was thinking, Chu Xiao didn't reveal any of it when they met. His expression was the same as usual. His face was calm, and he had Fatty Chen by his side.
"Sect Leader Chu, you look even more elegant after not seeing you for a few days.”Cao Zhengchun said with a smile. After entering the manor, he discovered that there were assassins in black standing in various hidden places. These assassins all wore black veils on their heads. They were all Black Rock's men.
The Black Bamboo Manor was heavily guarded. As the two of them spoke, they walked into the garden pavilion and sat down on the stone bench.
"Supervisor Cao, please have some tea." Chu Xiao picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Cao Zhengchun.
After saying this, Chu Xiao took out a few banknotes and placed them on the stone table. He pushed them in front of Cao Zhengchun and said,""Supervisor Cao, these are the silver notes sent by the magistrate of the Spiritual State. There is a total of 500,000 taels of silver.”
"Good!"
Cao Zhengchun didn't even look at the notes and kept them.
With their status, they wouldn't go so far as to tamper with this bit of money. Moreover, they had worked together for so long, Cao Zhengchun had some trust in Black Rock's credibility.
After a few cups of tea, Cao Zhengchun suddenly asked,""I heard that two thieves sneaked into the villa last night and were scared away by Leader Chu. I wonder what happened after that?”
Chu Xiao glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said,""Those two weren't thieves, but two secret agents of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa. I've already forced them back, and one of them was probably poisoned.”
"I see. Sect Leader Chu is indeed a young hero. He killed two secret agents of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa with a single move.”Cao Zhengchun said as he raised his orchid fingers.
"Supervisor Cao is overpraising me," said Chu Xiao lightly.”
"I wonder how Chief Chu plans to repay the Dragon Guard Mountain Villa? In my opinion, there is no harm in giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Chief Chu had so many killers under him, so he could send elites to infiltrate the Dragon Guard Mountain Villa.
It was said that the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa had many secret intelligence reports of high officials. They were extremely valuable, and any one of them would be of great use.”Cao Zhengchun was giving Chu Xiao advice in a serious manner.
Chu Xiao was not a fool. He would not listen to Cao Zhengchun, the old eunuch. If it was so easy to enter the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, Cao Zhengchun would have sent people in long ago. It was not Black Stone's turn to send people. One should know that the three secret agents of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa were not jealous. There were also Tiangang and Disha experts in the dark. The most troublesome one was the Iron-guts Divine Marquis.
This person could definitely be considered a top expert in the grandmaster realm. If he were to fight with brute force, even Cao Zhengchun would be defeated. How could Chu Xiao send his own first-class experts to their deaths?
"There's no need for Supervisor Cao to worry about this. I have my own plans.”Chu Xiao said.
Hearing Chu Xiao's rejection, Cao Zhengchun did not get angry. Instead, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Ding!"
At this moment, the mechanical sound of the system suddenly sounded in Chu Xiao's mind.
[The System has issued a random mission: Enter the Celestial Prison and save the life of the Thousand-faced Playboy, Zhu Yeqing.]”
" Reward for completing the mission: The loyalty of the Zhuyeqing and the five-colored gecko technique.”
Even a flower, an evaluation ticket, or a monthly ticket would do.
