"Thank you, Lord Cao!"
"I've always heard that Lord Cao is young and promising. Now that I've seen him today, it seems like what he said is true!”
"This group of bandits is too lawless. They actually dare to hold you all hostage.”
"If I wasn't afraid that they would hurt you in desperation, I would have brought them to justice long ago.”
"Fortunately, Lord Cao acted and killed the madman and saved all of you. He really helped my Imperial City Bureau a lot!”
Wang Ergou told Cao Zheng who was present, their appearances, and their identities.
Cao Zheng recognized who it was with just one look.
Cao Zheng could only say that one could not judge a book by its cover as he looked at the smiling man in front of him.
This ability to lie through his teeth was comparable to his.
As expected of the Emperor's trusted aide.
When others said good things, he also cupped his hands and greeted them with a smile.
"You're welcome."
"It is my fault that all of you have suffered in my Education Bureau.”
"If it weren't for Lord Si, Lord Zhuge, and Lord Lin surrounding the villains and deterring them, who knows what they would have done!”
Looking at the Imperial City's Department Head's slightly fawning appearance, Lin Chuanfeng naturally knew what he wanted to do.
Regardless of whether Cao Zheng was a great grandmaster or not, his Connate realm cultivation could not escape.
As long as he could rope them in, it would be extremely beneficial to both him and the Inspection Division.
He immediately stepped forward and played the emotional card.
"I was too busy at the banquet last time and didn't properly entertain Lord Cao.”
"In the morning, I was still thinking of finding an opportunity to have a good chat with Lord Cao.”
"Is this a coincidence? It was fate that they met tonight!”
When the Imperial City's Department Head heard that, he immediately looked at Lin Chuanfeng warily.
"Old man, what do you want?"
"Don't you know what I want to do?" Lin Chuanfeng narrowed his eyes.”
He recalled Lin Chuanfeng's words. He seemed to have had dealings with Cao Zheng before.
As the saying went, the first to strike was the strongest, and the last to strike was the victim.
The Imperial City Secretary no longer hesitated and gave up on the idea of building a relationship first. He hurriedly invited,
"Lord Cao, with your cultivation, it's a waste of your talent to be in the Education Department.”
"My Imperial City Bureau happens to have a vacancy for a Guardian Envoy."
However, before the Imperial City Department Head could finish speaking, Lin Chuanfeng immediately interrupted,
"Lord Cao, this Guardian is exposed to the wind and sun every day. How can he be as comfortable as my Inspection Department? It just so happens that my Inspection Department has a vacancy for a Qian Du Imperial Censor."
This Imperial City Guardian was equivalent to a fourth-grade official position.
He was mainly responsible for guarding the city gates and commanding nearly a thousand imperial guards.
The key was that the Imperial City Division was the Emperor's personal guards. They were unique and had great power.
He was even more familiar with the Imperial Censor of Qian. Wang Xuan's father, the husband of the Qi family, Wang Fu, was the Imperial Censor of Qian. Just like the Guardian, he was also a fourth-grade official.
The Imperial City Department had great power, and the Inspection Department was not small either.
Just the ability to supervise the officials was boundless.
If he used this identity to negotiate with others, wouldn't it be easy?
By the way, which of the women of the officials in the Imperial Capital were particularly beautiful?
However, these two departments were closely related to the Emperor.
He couldn't wait to hide from the emperor, so how could he get close?
The key was that the higher the position, the greater the ability, and the more things one had to do. How could it be more comfortable than this?
When he had nothing to do, he would listen to music, watch dances, drink wine, and touch her.
He immediately refused,
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Head and Lord Lin. It's just that I'm lazy by nature and I'm afraid I can't take on such an important task!”
When the Imperial City's Department Head heard this, he immediately lost the mood to argue with Lin Chuanfeng. He hurriedly advised,
"Lord Cao, you don't have to make a decision so quickly. You can consider it slowly.”
Seeing this, Lin Chuanfeng also joined in the persuasion.
"As the saying goes, no one asks about ten years of cold window, but you become famous in one fell swoop.”
"With Lord Cao's actions today, there will definitely be countless people who are thirsty for talents coming to invite you. I'm afraid your thin life will be broken.”
"Why not take the opportunity to fight for a high position and a high salary? Not only can you bring honor to your ancestors, but you can also endow your wife and children with a shadow.”
When the Eldest Princess saw this, she was instantly unwilling.
If Cao Zheng were to board your ship, how would he have the time to create the drug primer for me?
Without the drug primer, who would save his daughter?
Thus, she immediately walked to Cao Zheng's side and said,""Milords, this place is a mess. It's not a place to talk.”
"Why don't we settle the matter at hand first and find a time to talk?”
"It's just in time for Lord Cao to go back and bathe and change his clothes to wash away the blood all over his body.”
Looking at the Eldest Princess who suddenly interrupted, the Imperial City Department Head was a little puzzled."And you are?"
He did not know the Eldest Princess.
He was only in his forties and had only been in office for ten years.
During the Eldest Princess incident, he was still cultivating hard in some corner.
Although he had heard of that matter, he had never seen the Eldest Princess.
Other than the old people in the capital, not many people could recognize the Eldest Princess.
"Hahaha!"
Lin Chuanfeng laughed and was about to introduce him to the Imperial City Department Head.
This was to show his close relationship with Cao Zheng and dispel his enthusiasm for snatching people.
However, before he could speak and approach Cao Zheng, he saw the Eldest Princess curtsied and said with a happy expression,"I am Zhao Shi, you can also call me Lady Cao.”
Puff--
Hearing this.
Cao Zheng was so shocked that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
* Cough cough *
Even Lin Chuanfeng was shocked and almost choked to death on a puddle of saliva.
The Imperial City Secretary did not understand what was going on. He cupped his hands and smiled."So it's Lady Cao.”
"Lord Cao's face is as fair as jade and his bearing is extraordinary. Lady Cao is as beautiful as a fairy and can topple a country. They are truly a match made in heaven!”
"This is indeed not the place to talk. Since the finishing touches are waiting for me, I won't disturb you today.”
"After I settle this matter, I will come and have a few drinks with Lord Cao.”
As soon as the Imperial City Department Head finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Chuanfeng's arm and walked out, not giving him a chance to be alone with Cao Zheng.
"Let go, you brute."
"Two grown men, what's wrong with pulling each other?”
Zhuge Shi nodded slightly at Cao Zheng and the Eldest Princess. He did not say anything and left as well!
...
The incident with the bandits made people lose their mood to play.
After tidying up, the guests went back to their homes.
The girls had been greatly frightened and needed a good rest.
The Imperial City Division and the Inspection Division had taken the bandits 'corpses away, and they would probably have to do an investigation after the incident.
Where did people come from? Where did the Heavenly Thunder Pearl come from?
In an instant, the entire Education Bureau became quiet.
On a hill outside the city.
The young man in embroidered clothes brought Wang Fu and a few men in black to look at the Imperial Capital.
When the agreed time passed and there was still no movement at the city gate, the young man in embroidered clothes sighed.
"Hey!"
"What a pity!"
"Looks like there's been an accident!"
"Let's go. This group of death warriors is finished!”
......
In the attic.
Cao Zheng took off his blood-stained clothes and soaked in the hot tub without saying a word.
The Eldest Princess nervously massaged his shoulders and back, trying to please him.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
"I really don't have any improper thoughts about you. I just want to help you get rid of them.”
"Otherwise, they'll stick to you like dog skin plaster.”
"When I go back, Lin Chuanfeng will definitely confess to the Imperial City's Director about me.”
"With my current relationship with the emperor, if I had such an identity, they wouldn't come looking for you again!”
Enjoying the Eldest Princess's gentle service with all her heart.
He listened to her soft words of apology.
Cao Zheng was greatly pleased.
However, he was not angry because of this. He was worried that these words would reach the Emperor's ears.
That was the Bone King, the Bone King who had feelings for his own sister.
Although there was no substantial evidence to prove his guess.
You can only measure others by yourself.
If she had such a beautiful sister, she would probably have the same thoughts.
In addition, the Emperor looked at the Eldest Princess with a gaze filled with love.
Therefore, he felt that his guess was definitely correct.
However, words were like water that had been spilled.
Since things had come to this, he could only let it be.
Of course, if one did something wrong, they had to be punished. If they did not teach him a lesson, they would probably go to heaven next time.
"In view of your presumptuous decision to tarnish my reputation, I have decided to sentence you to 300 lashes.”
Cao Zheng's cold words startled the Eldest Princess.
When she heard that she would be punished with a rod, her pretty face instantly turned pale.
"Milord, I haven't recovered from my injuries.”
"Humph!"
Cao Zheng snorted coldly and said fiercely,""If you don't hit me, will you remember?"
"Hurry up and kneel!"
Seeing that things could not be done, the Eldest Princess accepted her fate."Lord, please punish me lightly!"
The cold and heartless Cao Zheng was not moved by the Eldest Princess's plea for mercy.
After ruthlessly beating her, the Eldest Princess instantly lost half her life.
She was lying on the bed, moaning and moaning, not daring to move at all.
......
It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
I take revenge all day long.
After walking out of the room, Cao Zheng decided to deal with Fatty Qian.
Previously, he had noticed him in the crowd, so he wasn't worried about running for nothing.
When Cao Zheng arrived, the lights in Fatty Qian's room were still on. He was alone.
"Wonderful! The robbers had caused a ruckus and destroyed so many things. This was all silver!”
" Five destroyed buildings must be rebuilt. Even if two buildings were destroyed, they must be rebuilt. The broken floorboards and broken flower beds must be rebuilt."
"I have to calculate carefully how to make this account flawless.”
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Cao Zheng was relieved.
If the maidservant was here, he would not be able to kill people for no reason.
But he didn't want to leave any witnesses.
This was exactly what he wanted.
Therefore, he didn't hesitate and pushed the door open.
"You're so good at calculating accounts. I wonder if you've read your fortune properly?”
"Who is it?"
Fatty Qian was startled by the voice.
He turned around and realized that it was Cao Zheng.
Fatty Qian closed the account book without leaving a trace and smiled.""So it's Lord Cao. I wonder why you've come to look for me so late at night?”
Cao Zheng smiled." There's something. Of course there's something. I'm here to invite you to die."”
"You…"
Hearing this, Fatty Qian was shocked.
However, before he could think further, Cao Zheng's palm shattered his internal organs and he died on the spot.
"You want to sue me? You don't know what's good for you!"
After doing all this, Cao Zheng blew out the lamp, closed the door, and left quietly.
Originally, he had planned to reward Fatty Qian with the Three Corpse Brain God Pill.
However, what happened tonight made him have other thoughts.
......
"Sir, the Minister of Rites is here!"
Early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Cao Zheng was doing his morning exercises when Wang Ergou's voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Got it!"
Cao Zheng replied indifferently.
It was obvious why the Ministry of Rites was here.
With such a big incident, it would be strange if he didn't come.
After finishing the last few moves of the staff technique, Cao Zheng began to put on his clothes.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
The Eldest Princess took out a pillow and placed it under her buttocks as she spoke gently.
"No need, you can continue sleeping!"
After Cao Zheng left, the Eldest Princess looked at her lower abdomen and muttered in anticipation.
"Seed, oh seed, you have to germinate quickly. Your sister is still waiting for you to save her life!”
This is the main hall of the Secretary.
It was the place where the Department of Education really worked and received guests.
But when it came to doing things…It was not very convenient.
When Cao Zheng arrived, there were a few high officials from the Ministry of Rites waiting inside.
Among them was Doctor Qian of the Fine Catering and Official Purging Department, who he had seen at the palace banquet last time. He was a fifth-grade official.
And he was Fatty Qian's backer.
"I am Cao Zheng. Greetings, Lord Qian and all of you.”
Upon seeing Cao Zheng's arrival, Doctor Qian immediately made things difficult for him.
"Lord Cao, how do you do things?”
"You actually let the robbers into the Education Bureau and kidnapped so many high-ranking officials and nobles. You've caused trouble for the Ministry of Rites!”
The moment Doctor Qian opened his mouth, he pushed the blame onto Cao Zheng.
He only had one goal, and that was to kill Cao Zheng and let Fatty Qian take over.
Compared to the turnover of the Department of Education, the profit from logistics was nothing.
If he hadn't interfered last time, Fatty Qian would have been promoted long ago.
Cao Zheng was unhappy when he heard that. He said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner,
"Lord Qian, your words are wrong."
"All the guards at the entrance will carefully search the guests of the Education Bureau. It is forbidden to bring in swords, knives, and hidden weapons, let alone a killing weapon like the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.”
After Cao Zheng finished speaking, the officer on duty who was also called over for questioning immediately echoed,
"Lord Qian, Lord Cao is right.”
"Yesterday, I guarantee that we searched him thoroughly. This robber definitely didn't come in from the right path.”
There was such a rule for body searching.
However, nothing had happened for so long, and the officers had long ignored it. At most, they could only deal with it casually.
They had thought that Cao Zheng would push the blame to them.
However, they never expected that the other party would put in a good word for them.
They weren't fools and immediately followed Cao Zheng's words.
"You didn't let him in? Then where did it come from?"
"I've already asked the patrolling guards, and they've assured me that no one has climbed over the wall.”
"I don't know. I was just about to investigate when Lord Qian came!" Cao Zheng said.”
At this moment, a servant girl's frightened voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, something bad has happened. Sir Qian has been killed!”
When Cao Zheng heard this, he was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed.
This…What a coincidence.
He was still thinking of slowly luring Fatty Qian over, but now it was much more natural.
When Physician Qian heard this, an ominous premonition suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.
He struggled to move his fat body to the front of the maidservant and asked,"Which Lord Qian are you talking about?”
"Sir, it's Sir Qian who is in charge of logistics.”
"Impossible!"
Doctor Qian shook his head like a rattle-drum when he heard that.
Then, he used his greasy hands to grab the servant girl's shoulders and roared.
"How did my nephew die?"
"You slut, you must have seen wrongly, right?”
"Say it, say you saw wrongly!"
Pa--
Looking at the maidservant's twisted expression due to the pain but not daring to make a sound, Cao Zheng slapped Doctor Qian's hand away and said indifferently,""Lord Qian, calm down!"
"Calm down?"
"How can I calm down?"
"We'll know if it's true or not when we go and take a look!" Cao Zheng suggested.”
"Son!"
Upon seeing Fatty Qian's corpse, Doctor Qian burst into tears.
？？？
What did I hear?
"Nephew, my poor nephew!"
At this moment.
The official who came with Physician Qian picked up the account book on the table and frowned.""Milords, come and take a look.”
Hearing this, the few of them came over to take a look.
There was a page of problematic draft accounts recorded on it.
"Do you think the robbers came in through Sir Qian?" Cao Zheng asked in a low voice.”
"He's in charge of logistics. It's the most convenient to bring things in.”
Upon hearing this, Doctor Qian was furious.
"Nonsense, how could he be my nephew? Even if his hands were dirty, he would not do such a thing!”
Cao Zheng snorted coldly.
"If it isn't him, could it be me?"
"As the head of the Education Bureau, what good does this do to me?”
"Besides, I was the one who killed those robbers yesterday.”
"I think this Fatty Qian is trying to frame me and then climb up the ladder himself.”
When the other lords heard this, they also felt that it made sense.
"Lord Qian, Lord Cao, let's leave this matter as it is. Let me go back and report to the Minister before making a decision.”
