Perhaps it was because of the rain that the appointed time had passed, but Wang Yong was delayed in coming.

Gao Wenyan was chatting with him here and there, and suddenly it got involved with Chu Ying.

Only then did she realize that Chu Ying was called Xiao Wan because she was born half a month later than the average person.

When she was born, the sky was filled with sunset, so her family called her "Xiaowan".

Gao Wenyan joked: "I thought the prime minister's nickname was the opposite of 'Xiao Zao'."

"So, your three brothers and sisters, wouldn't it be 'morning, noon and late'?"

She laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm not Xiaozhong anyway."

"Yes, Xiao Wan's riding shooting is still going on?"

Chu Xu weighed it in his mind.

Riding and shooting was just a reason to meet her. Since he no longer needed this reason, he naturally had no reason to torment her anymore.

When she went to teach Xiao Wan, she had no time to care about herself.

In Gao Wenyan's opinion, he just hesitated for a moment, and then he said: "No need."

"Why?"

Although Chu Ying was a slow learner, Chu Xu expressed his admiration for Chu Ying so sincerely, why didn't he use it temporarily?

After thinking about the cause and effect, Gao Wenyan opened his eyes slightly.

"Could it be..."

Chu Xu looked away and said calmly: "Xiao Wan went out to play. I don't know when I will be back."

"really?"

"Of course. When Xiao Wan comes back, she will have to work hard."

Gao Wenyan now dispelled his doubts and responded cheerfully: "Don't she want to amaze everyone at the Qiu Hunt? We need to work harder to get her back."

"Ah."

While talking, Wang Yong just arrived at the box.

These two rooms have been specially modified and have a hidden pipe that can transmit the sound from the top floor to here.

Gao Wenyan was curious: "Can you listen to all the boxes?"

"The girl is too greedy."

It means there is only one box.

"Why did Wang Yong come to the appointment?"

It stands to reason that Ding Zhi is just a magistrate of Wuping County, and Wang Yong does not need to come specially to attend the appointment.

"Ding Zhi threatened him."

"what?"

Chu Xu must have done something wrong, otherwise Ding Zhi would not be threatening Wang Yong when he was working for Wang Yong.

Sure enough, Chu Xu smiled openly.

"Because I threatened him."

Although Ding Zhi was protected by Wang Yong, Wang Yong never thought that this matter would be known to outsiders, and with so many people underneath who promised to protect him, there would always be something wrong.

Chu Xu first captured Ding Zhi's youngest son, who was dear to his heart, and then negotiated with him.

In order not to push the rabbit into a hurry, Chu Xu told Ding Zhi that he only needed to threaten Wang Yong to come out and the two of them would sit in the Fuhua Building for a while.

But in the flashy building, Ding Zhi can say whatever he wants.

However, Ding Zhi threatened Wang Yong. Only by telling the truth could he save his life. He had no other choice.

Gao Wenyan was surprised: "Are you going to let Ding Zhi surrender you?"

"Ding Zhi didn't know it was me."

"But even if he doesn't say it, in Wang Yong's eyes, the only one who knows about it is me."

Therefore, Wang Yong will still suspect him after all, and it has nothing to do with whether Ding Zhi tells the truth or not.

"No."

Gao Wenyan's face darkened and he thought quickly.

"You can't be the only one who knows."

If only Chu Xu knew about it, Wang Yong had a clear goal and only targeted Chu Xu.

But if Wang Yong finds out that a second person knows, he will wonder if there is a third or fourth person...

In this way, he will get into trouble.

But what can be done to make him think that Chu Xu did not do this?

Chu Xu said: "In this case, why not spread it out and let everyone know?"

In this way, even if Wang Yong determines that the source is Chu Xu, it is an unstoppable fact that more people know.

"Just use nursery rhymes."

As soon as the words came out, Chu Xu couldn't help but look at her deeply, and saw that her face was filled with the joy of revenge.

"Just listen to the girl."

Ding Zhi's conversation was almost the same as what they had guessed, but he burst into tears and begged Wang Yong to spare him and save his son.

"Useless things!"

Following Wang Yong's angry voice, there was the sound of swords entering flesh.

He threw away the sword and took out the handkerchief to wipe his hands as if he had touched something dirty.

He ordered his servants: "Get rid of it."

"It seems that Wuping County has no choice but to give up."

Anyway, the number of dead soldiers is enough now, and with Chu Xu watching over them, abandoning Wuping County is not a bad thing.

Although I don't know what Chu Xu is planning, since he is here, it means that Chu Xu's plan has been successful.

Wang Yong hurriedly scanned the surrounding area, waved his sleeves angrily, and left in a hurry.

The box was quiet again, with only some noise coming from Wang Yong's men cleaning up Ding Zhi's body.

Chu Xu buried his head in writing something on the paper for a while before putting down the pen.

She poked her head over, her face lit up with joy, and she couldn't help but praise: "As expected of the Prime Minister!"

Gao Wenyan happily put away the paper and planned to take action tonight.

In order to prevent Wang Yong from discovering the clues, Gao Wenyan proposed to take a secret passage from the Prime Minister's Mansion back to the General's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xu was stunned and refused.

"Why?"

Although there is a secret door in Fuhua Building, Gao Wenyan is still worried about Wang Yongcai's departure.

"Wang Yong may have sent someone to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion. The girl should not appear."

Although Chu Xu was making nonsense, it still sounded quite reasonable.

"Then we have to wait until nightfall."

There were many books in this room. Gao Wenyan picked up a few and read them.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "The Prime Minister asked Lin Qian for the scripture earlier, but he can't find it now."

After Chu Xu contacted Lin Qian, there was no other news for a long time. Gao Wenyan found it strange and for a time just thought that he was sincerely looking for scriptures.

"Yes, who asked Mr. Lin to resign?"

Lin Qian resigned and left Beijing, leaving only a letter against his hometown, which became the latest topic in Beijing.

Some people say that he offended the Gao family and knew that his official career was hopeless, so he wisely protected himself.

Some people also say that he left Beijing because his conscience found that he was ashamed of the Gao family girl.

Only King Zhuang felt very sorry for him and even shouted against Gao Wenyan during the banquet.

"My children's affair was actually put on the table! With the influence of my father and brother, the imperial court lost a talent in vain!"

Her words were sharp, not only criticizing her womanly kindness and violating the "Women's Training", but even Mrs. Gao also criticized her.

What can I say? Her husband is away on the battlefield, while she stays in the capital with fine clothes and fine food, but she cannot educate her daughter well.

These words were spoken at a private banquet, but somehow they were spread out and reached General Gao's ears.

Gao Wenyan thought of his father's angry appearance yesterday, and he was still in the mood to laugh.

"Prince Zhuang is furious."

Chu Xu handed her a book and she opened it. It was the Heart Sutra, which teaches people to eliminate evil obstacles and cultivate their moral character.

But Chu Xu smiled rebelliously and asked, "Do you want to punish him a little?"

It was his appearance that made Gao Wenyan believe that he was truly worshiping the Buddha.

"Why did the Prime Minister contact Lin Qian?"

She gradually realized that instead of constantly guessing, it was better to ask him directly.

Chu Xu has always been outspoken about the bad things he has done.

But when he smiled, Gao Wenyan didn't know how much truth or lies there were in his words.

"Just curious."

"I heard that he is the girl's crush. I'm just curious about what kind of man a girl likes would like."

Gao Wenyan said suspiciously: "It sounds like the Prime Minister knows me very well."

"Xiao Wan just talks about it all the time."
