Powerful ministers are husbands

King Yan slapped Lu Yi on the face, and under the bright orange fire, the five finger prints were even more eye-catching.

People in the yard hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy, especially the few who brought the money back, trembling on the ground in fright.

Lu Yi's face was ashen, and he hurriedly said: "The humble position has disappointed the prince. The humble position deserves death. I implore the prince to give the humble position a chance. I don't want to escape punishment. I just want to make the prince happy. The humble position will go through fire and water."

Under the light of the fire, King Yan showed a kind smile instead, and the light of the fire danced in his slightly squinted eyes, showing some warmth.

Lu Yi didn't dare to be careless, kowtowed on the ground and begged for mercy.

King Yan touched the top of his head, and said in a friendly voice: "I have a kind heart for eating fast and reciting Buddha, so I will not punish you. It's just that I can't tolerate sand in my eyes, and you know what to do."

Lu Yi patted King Yan's head like a dog, and kept nodding flatteringly, almost sticking out his tongue and panting like a dog, "Don't worry, my lord, I know how to deal with Fengshan's gang. "

"Yeah." King Yan nodded in satisfaction, took the towel handed over by his entourage, and wiped his hands slowly, "Don't throw these stones away either, you keep them to pile up graves for others." After finishing speaking, he stroked his hand. Clothes hem, left surrounded by entourage.

In the winter night, Lu Yi felt that his underwear was covered with sweat, and it was tightly attached to his body, which was extremely uncomfortable, but he still didn't dare to move.It wasn't until the group of people disappeared into the shadow of the whirling trees that they stood up staggeringly with the support of their attendants, without even caring about wiping off the sweat from their faces, and commanded the strong men to drag the sack back into the secret passage.

Wang Er, who was in charge of collecting the money back, stood aside tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Nothing happened along the way, and the people sent by Tan Sima were also normal. After a few polite words, I handed over the money to you." Give it to the little one. The little one was worried at first, so he sent someone to follow him secretly, and watched that person go back to the post house. Lu Shilang, the little one is entrusted by you, so you must not be sloppy."

Lu Yi turned around and kicked Wang Er's stomach. He yelled "Aww" twice in pain, and suddenly remembered that this was the backyard of Yan Wang's mansion.

"Hmph, the one surnamed Tan is going to give me a chance. Don't die." Lu Yi gritted his teeth, being careful about the whole thing, but it turned out that he was the one who fell into the trap. , even Sima's governor, don't even think about having a good life!"

Over there, the men had already brought in the sacks, and Lu Yi followed quickly.

At this moment, next to the Liangyi Hall, in the shadow of the majestic hall, where the moonlight and firelight cannot illuminate, a few servants, one on the left and one on the right, with two monkey-cheeked people, leaned against the wall and went to a darker place go.With rags stuffed in their mouths, the two trapped people struggled for a long time, like prey in the mouth of a liger, in vain.

Eunuch Yun stood at the corner and watched, the lantern under the eaves caught half of his body, his face was cold.

When the low sobs could no longer be heard, he turned and returned to the main hall. The Holy Majesty just changed into a stone blue shirt embroidered with silver dragon patterns and stepped out from the back room, followed by several guards carrying sacks.

Apart from them in the hall, General Cao was also there, and he was dressed in a purple suit, making him indescribably noble.

"My lord, those two details have been dealt with." Eunuch Yun reported slowly.

"Very good." Zhuansun Yongde smiled, pointing to the sack on the ground, "Take these guards to the side to count the number and see how far away it is from the relief money distributed."

"Yes." Eunuch Yun called the guards to the side to count the money.

Zhuan Sun Yongde and Cao Lv sat by the window and talked, "Thanks to you this time, I was able to see through the tricks of those traitors and get back the relief money." Take back the disaster relief money in person and put it in the Hall of Liangyi to see who dares to make money, "Then Tan Ji thinks he is smart, so he set up two mazes, thinking that at most we will divide our troops into two groups to monitor those who go out of the city." The thieves and himself, but did not expect the real drama to be sung at the posthouse."

He took a sip of tea, thinking of the situation of the Yayun Tea House that he had just heard from the guards, he couldn't help but feel better.

"That old fox of King Yan wants to see me deflated. Who would think that he is the one who makes a fool of himself? I don't know what kind of expression he will have when he sees that the person in the Yayun Tea House is not me, and the hard-earned money has turned into stones. It’s fantastic, it’s a pity we couldn’t see it.”

Cao Lv didn't say much, and poured water into Shengshang's empty teacup.

Tan Ji thought that everyone was watching Shan Feng and himself, so he led everyone to the restaurant that day, and then sent people to the empty Lian's house to get news. The random people in the dark had already figured out how many people there were. Surveillance, but they do not know that this is their deliberate laissez-faire.

The one surnamed Tan can't get the money, even if Dali Temple catches the real Shan Feng, they can't expect to get any news.

It's better to save trouble and effort, and just ask Tan Ji to transport the money back to the imperial capital.

And today is a great time to close the net.

He also sent someone to intercept Tan Ji's subordinates who sneaked out of the posthouse, directly obtained information, and then killed people and disguised himself as that subordinate to trade with Lu Yi's people. Naturally, on the way, the man in the carriage All the purses were replaced with stones.

Tan Ji and Lu Yi are so careful, it is impossible to catch them on the spot. Even if they catch their subordinates, as long as one party bites the bullet and the other party directly cleans up, it is still impossible to convict, but the trick is to let them Cannibalism.

Borrowing a knife to kill people saves some energy.

As for inviting the sage out of the palace, one is to make Tan Ji and Yan Wang think that all the attention is on the Yayun Tea House, and the other is that the money falls into his hands, which is a hidden danger after all. If someone makes a fuss about it, it will be a big deal It's not good, it's better to let the Holy One come forward.

Zhuan Sun Yongde breathed a long sigh of relief, "The shortfall of this money has been made up, and the victims of the disaster can have hope. This time, we must appoint a more capable person to escort, so as not to cause another moth." He looked at Cao Lv , laughed again, "I dare not work my general, you have to stay in Beijing to help, at least help me see if there is any good candidate."

Cao Lu bowed slightly, "I will think about it carefully and propose a few candidates to the Holy One."

Zhuan Sun Yongde patted him on the shoulder, as if he had put many heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, "Although I can't catch Lu Yi and King Yan behind him, I am very satisfied with this step. gone."

The two monarchs and ministers chatted again, and Zhuan Sun Yongde was going to see Queen Zhao, so Cao Lv got up and said goodbye and went home.

The robbery finally came to an end, Cao Lv felt a little relieved, and when he thought of Pang Miao, whom he had not seen for several days, his heart was warm and soft, but before he got close to Tingsongyuan, dozens of lanterns and the bustling crowd came into view .He frowned slightly, and walked slowly with his hands behind his back. When the sharp-eyed servant saw him, he called out "Master Eighth" in a low voice. Everyone looked back and retreated to the two sides consciously. Finally, the two people in the middle exposed.

"Eighth brother, eighth brother..." The man in the middle wanted to shout eagerly, but was shocked by the way of comparing people in front of him, so his words became stammered and vague.

Cao Lv stopped five steps in front of him, looking down at the panicked second brother Cao Heng with cold and distant eyes.

Cao Lu's silence and eyes made Cao Heng even more frightened. Guo Miao tightly held on to her husband's arm, lowered her head, and didn't even dare to look at Cao Lu, as if she was afraid or guilty.

"Speak clearly, I don't have much free time." Cao Lu said lightly.

Cao Heng took a few breaths, and finally spoke more fluently, "Eighth brother, I didn't know about this matter beforehand, it was all this woman's bad idea!" Before he finished speaking, he pushed away viciously and leaned on himself His wife's eyes are full of hatred.

Guo Miao didn't expect that Xianggong would stab one of his own people before the battle, so he looked at Cao Heng in panic, and then at Cao Lu, "No..."

Cao Heng didn't allow her to say too much, he took the bait and yelled loudly, as if the one with the loudest voice was correct and innocent.

"Tomorrow, I will divorce my wife. Afterwards, I will send the official to deal with it strictly or drive me out of Cao's house. Do as you please! Eighth brother, I am innocent. I didn't know it beforehand. Please don't take the medicine shop back."

Cao Lu lowered his eyes slightly, and slowly straightened the folds on his sleeves, "What did the second brother say? How could I not understand? The pharmacy is used for charity, and you will have other arrangements in the future, so you don't need to worry about making a living. .”

Cao Heng's lips trembled a few times, and then he chattered non-stop, "Eighth brother, I sincerely apologize, you see I've been waiting here for a whole day!"

"One day?" Cao Lu saw that Cao Heng was holding a box of ginseng in his hand, "Second brother must be very tired, right? Have you eaten the ginseng I gave you yesterday? Eat some now to replenish your body." .”

His words were not questions, but rather orders. Cao Heng trembled all over, and even his lips turned white.

"Eat, don't say that I, a younger brother, don't care about my elder brother." Cao Lu smiled gently.

The knuckles of the hand holding the box turned white, Cao Heng didn't move for a moment, but he knew that it was not easy for them to live in this world, the pharmacy took them away, and he didn't know when he would have a new errand, and he lived on that little routine , barely at most.He made a mistake first, and if he doesn't listen to Cao Lv at this time, he doesn't know if there will be a way to survive in the future.

Anyway, eating a ginseng would not be a problem, Cao Heng was so cruel that he took out a ginseng and was about to stuff it into his mouth, but Guo Miao stopped him.

"Are you still going to hurt someone?!" He scolded, pushed Guo Miao away again mercilessly, took a bite like eating a carrot, and swallowed it with great effort, "Eighth brother, can you be a grown-up and not remember a villain's faults?" , forgive me? Can you return the medicine shop to us?"

Cao Lu smiled coldly, "When did I say that you can get a medicinal herb shop if you eat ginseng?"

Cao Heng was startled, and his body froze in place, unable to move.

"Stop making trouble, it's really ugly." Cao Lv waved his hand, someone came up to set up the second young master and his wife, and dragged them away.

Cao Heng still wanted to beg for mercy, but he was not a deadheaded person. He changed his mind and realized that if the whole family knew about the use of Tripterygium vine to harm others, not only would he lose face, but if his father and aunt were furious, they would accuse Maybe he has to be kicked out of the house, the way the eighth brother has dealt with it now is enough to save face.

Thinking of this, all he could do was to scold Guo Miao bloody to vent his anger.

The night was getting dark, the bright moon was hanging high, and the clear light was scattered all over the ground, quiet and serene.Under the candlelight, Pang Miao was seriously practicing calligraphy, his strokes were graceful and elegant.Suddenly, the big yellow dog barked excitedly outside, and he paused for a moment before continuing to write.

A gentle wind swept across his cheeks, and immediately after, Pang Miao felt a warm and strong arm hugging his shoulders tightly.
