Superintendent Cao Zhengchun, to build the strongest East Factory

Chapter 18 Capture the Assassin
At this moment, Princess Yunluo was standing next to Emperor Zhu Houzhao, glaring at Cao Zhengchun fiercely.

"Your Majesty! I don't know why you called the minister here so late?" Cao Zhengchun saluted.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "You still have the nerve to ask me! Didn't this matter happen because of you? Now I'm also implicated!"

"Yun Luo is in front of me, accusing you of despising the royal family, taking away the person she likes, and intentionally angering her. Is there such a thing?"

Cao Zhengchun calmly replied: "Your Majesty, the man that Princess Yunluo took a fancy to is actually an idle gangster. He lost all his money in the gambling shop and was sold into the palace by the boss to become a eunuch." .”

"Weichen is just a routine, and there is a shortage of people in the East Factory. That kid is still smart, so he was recruited into the East Factory."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "So that's the case! Cao Aiqing, I misunderstood you. You did the right thing, and you also saved the face of my royal family!"

Then, with a stern face, he said sternly to Princess Yunluo beside him: "Yunluo! You are really making trouble for no reason, and even falsely accused Cao Zhengchun!"

"As the lord of Daming County, how can you fancy a little bastard! If you mess up together, it would be a shame, it would be an insult to my royal face! Fortunately, Cao Zhengchun took that person away, otherwise you would have If you lose your innocence, how will you marry in the future!"

Princess Yunluo blushed after being taught by Zhu Houzhao.

She said coquettishly: "Brother Huang! I want to make the boy castrated and become a eunuch, so he can follow me, and it won't damage the innocence of the princess!"

Princess Yunluo felt that it was more interesting for Cheng Zhengfei to become a little eunuch, and wanted him to play with her by her side.

However, Cao Zhengchun hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, absolutely not. That Cheng Shifei has just entered the palace, and he is full of ruffian, so as not to bring down the princess. Let me train him for a while longer!"

Seeing that Cao Zhengchun opposed her again, Princess Yunluo was furious.

"You damned Cao Zhengchun! You deliberately opposed this princess! I must smash you to death!"

She grabbed the inkstone on the desk without any hassle, and ruthlessly threw it at Cao Zhengchun.

The inkstone hit Cao Zhengchun's body-protecting stellar qi, and was shattered by the strong stellar qi.

Princess Yunluo who watched was also apprehensive, envious of Cao Zhengchun's superb martial arts.

Zhu Houzhao quickly reprimanded: "Yun Luo, don't be rude! Cao Zhengchun is very considerate. Your hot temper needs to be corrected!"

Cao Zhengchun is not only cautious and considerate in handling affairs, but also has high martial arts skills, Zhu Houzhao attaches great importance to him and treats him like a confidant.

"That's right! Cao Zhengchun, you killed Yang Shangshu everywhere, but did you take back his soldier talisman?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a serious face.

Cao Zhengchun replied embarrassingly: "Your Majesty! It's all because of my subordinate Pi Xiaotian's failure to do his job well. He was killed by Gui Hai, the land agent of Hulong Villa, and the soldier talisman was intercepted by Duan Tianya, the No. [-] Tianzi agent. Hand it over to the gods."

Zhu Houzhao frowned after hearing this: "You said that the military talisman is now in the hands of the emperor, and it will be troublesome. At that time, he will definitely use this to threaten him and elect his person to succeed the position of Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"I don't know who the emperor uncle will recommend to succeed the Minister of the Ministry of War?"

Zhu Houzhao is very afraid of Tiedan Shenhou. Not only is he very scheming, but also his martial arts are even more unfathomable. He was able to subdue even the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong.

If Shenhou has the intention of rebellion, it will be the biggest threat to his throne.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. My servant is rectifying the East Factory and recruiting talented people. Even if the Marquis of God acts rashly, our East Factory can still contend with it!" Cao Zhengchun said confidently.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Okay, Cao Aiqing! Then you should spend more time thinking! With you here, I feel more at ease!"

Then he told Yun Luo: "You have been very close to the emperor recently. But what you said today, don't let him know."

Yun Luo nodded, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Huang! Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. However, you only suspect the Uncle Huang, but this Cao Zhengchun also holds great power in his hands, so he has to guard against it." ah!"

Zhu Houzhao also whispered: "Defense is of course necessary, but Cao Zhengchun is an eunuch, at most he can control the power, and rebellion is impossible. He is much less threatening than the emperor's uncle."

Although Zhu Houzhao and Yun Luo's voice was as low as a mosquito's, Cao Zhengchun had strong inner strength and could hear every word clearly.

He understands that he is trusted by Zhu Houzhao for a while, and if he has a different heart, Zhu Houzhao will let Tie Dan Shenhou or other forces suppress him.

Cao Zhengchun sighed in his heart, this court is even more dangerous than Jianghu.Once you make a wrong move, you will lose everything.

He will have to be more cautious in the future.

Concentrate on the development of Dongchang, to the point where no one else can do anything to him.His life can only be in his own hands.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Okay! Cao Zhengchun, since you're fine, you can go back!"

"Your Majesty! I have something to report! I have concluded that an assassin has sneaked into the palace, and I have ordered the guards in the palace to search everywhere. Please be careful, the emperor and the county chief!"

Cao Zhengchun did not leave in a hurry, but told the emperor about it.

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, his face changed drastically: "You said that an assassin sneaked into the palace? Is this okay? Then what do Liu Xi's guards do? I really have raised them for nothing. So many people even look for an assassin." not!"

"Cao Aiqing! I will trouble you today, make sure to catch that assassin! Yun Luo will trouble you to send her back!"

Cao Zhengchun nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry! This servant will definitely catch the assassin and protect his safety!"

Then, he bid farewell to Zhu Houzhao and went back with Yunluo.

Zhu Houzhao was also restless. Originally, he planned to wait for Cao Zhengchun and Yunluo to leave before continuing to deal with his concubine.

But now that there are assassins in the palace, he can only give up this idea.Sitting upright in the room, waiting for good news from Cao Zhengchun.

After escorting Princess Yunluo back, all the Ouchi guards went to hunt for the assassin.Cao Zhengchun had no choice but to order a team of eunuchs to protect the safety of the princess outside the house.

However, at this moment, Princess Yunluo became angry when she saw the eunuchs, and asked her maid, Xiao Nu, to drive away the eunuchs outside the door.

"Hmph! These eunuchs really pissed off this princess! Especially that Cao Zhengchun! If there is an assassin, let that assassin assassinate Cao Zhengchun!"

Princess Yunluo sulked in the room and complained.

"Princess! Don't be so angry! Governor Cao is also responsible, and he didn't mean to target you!" Xiao Nu persuaded.

"Little slave! Something is wrong with you today, why are you still speaking nicely for Cao Zhengchun!"

"Huh? Why is there a cool breeze blowing in, did you not close the door tightly? Little slave, go and have a look!"

Princess Yunluo was puzzled, and hurriedly ordered.
