Powerful ministers are husbands

Before noon that day, Cao Xun completed the handover of the store, but he still pretended to be wandering around the store, instructing a lot of things to the newly assigned manager, and then left him alone, showing that he was extremely confident in grabbing a contract renewal .

He went home to accompany his wife and children, drank some wine, and then went to the casino to have a good time, looking completely idle.

These were all pretended to be shown to Lu Yi, except for those who were pointed by five fingers, outsiders had no idea that Jinbaolou had changed hands again.

Pang Miao accepted it as soon as he saw it, modified the menu, and while Cao Xun was out on errands, he calmly left the Jinbao Tower with Mr. Qi, otherwise when Cao Xun came back, he would definitely set up a banquet to entertain the benefactor of his life. If you don't pay attention and get caught, it will make the situation worse.

Before leaving, he asked Zhang Si to bring a message to Cao Xun, saying that Mr. Qi was getting old, and he was exhausted after two hexagrams, so he went back first.

Zhang Si wasn't smart enough, he didn't expect to ask Mr. Qi where he lived, so he sent the two of them away.

Back home, when Mr. Qi saw Mrs. Pang and Cao Lv sitting in the hall, he waved his hand, "Two, two, how about I make a fortune for you?" He looked at Cao with malicious intentions. Law, thinking carefully.

When someone approached, Cao Lv made a move as fast as lightning, and grabbed Mr. Qi's beard.

Old Mr. Qi couldn't react in time, his chin felt numb, and more than half of his well-groomed white beard was pulled away, and then his forehead loosened, and the chilly wind spread over his head.

Cao Lv held up half of his beard and long fluttering wig, and said cheerfully, "I didn't know that Mr. Xue Jinyi and Mr. Xue could tell fortunes and fortunetellers."

Xue Jinyi, who only had half of his beard left, looked like a sheep with most of its wool shaved. He held his chin and asked sullenly, "How did you know it was me?"

"First of all, A Miao won't let too many people know about this deceptive trick. It's either you or Zhang Mu." Cao Lv stroked the wig twice. It feels good and the workmanship is not bad. It's quite interesting. The previous walking posture was indeed very similar to that of an old man, but the moment the door closed, the original shape was revealed."

Xue Jinyi sighed in disappointment.

Mrs. Pang said with a smile: "Jin Yi is a big man, and he still likes to play with this. Go and wash your face."

"Wait a minute," Cao Lu handed the teacup to Pang Miao, and said, "Mr. Xue wants to tell my fortune? Mr. Cao is all ears."

"This, this, this..." Xue Jinyi was embarrassed. If he still pretended to be Mr. Qi, he would definitely dare to talk nonsense with Cao Lv, but now that the trick has been exposed, wouldn't it be trouble for himself to talk nonsense?According to Cao Lu's martial arts, he still deserves to be beaten.

When he asked for help, he looked at Pang Miao, but Pang Miao's eyes were covered by the lid of the cup. Then he looked at Mrs. Pang, and this time he looked back with a smile, but he didn't seem to be helping to speak at all.

Okay, okay, the usual witty energy, when he meets Cao Lv, he disarms and throws his gun.

He thought about it for a while, and he understood it after a while. He showed a smiling face that was brighter than the sun, and said to Mrs. Pang first: "This lady, the old man looks at your face. A family reunion."

Although she knew that Xue Jinyi didn't have the ability to read pictures, but a few words hit her simple and simple wish, "This is the best, I am looking forward to the day when the family is reunited."

Seeing that his adoptive mother was made happy, Xue Jinyi turned his head to deal with Cao Lu, "This master... ouch, he has the face of a wealthy man, and he will definitely be able to be harmonious and beautiful with this son of yours in the future. Let's grow old hand in hand." At the end of the day, he made a gesture of a big roc spreading its wings, which made everyone in the room laugh.

The house is full of warmth and joy.

On the other side, Lu Yi excitedly arranged the manpower, preparing to catch Jinbaolou by surprise, but he never thought that there would be an earth-shattering news from the prison of Dali Temple——

The prince of Yan died.

To be exact, he was strangled to death.

A certain person who knew he was going to die, had no worries, and lived in the cell next to Prince Yan, first pretended to apologize sincerely, led him to the iron railing, and then unexpectedly grabbed his neck.

When the jailer opened the cell door, Prince Yan's son had already passed away, and his death would not rest in peace.

The dead man lay limply on the ground. The man probably felt that he was not relieved enough, so he kicked the dead man's face a few times in front of the stunned jailer.

The stinky feet that haven't been washed for a few days left clear marks on the white and tender face.

The jailer didn't dare to stand still anymore, and amidst bursts of grinning laughter, dragged the dead body of Prince Yan to a safe place.

There are doctors in the prison, but they have tried various methods, but they are still unable to recover, and the corpse is completely cold under their toss.

As the chief culprit, Tan Ji was very unhappy—even if he died, it was worth it to have such a big man accompany him on the road to Huangquan.

King Yan, who happened to be in the Hall of Liangyi, heard the news and fainted immediately. Only those who had been strangled for a long time slowly woke up. After learning that the news of his son's death was not a nightmare, he cried until his heart broke.

King Yan is not young, and with just such a son, most people who heard about this thought that King Yan's line must have no incense to continue.

Lu Yi was frightened into a cold sweat. It was because he and Tan Ji failed to settle the matter and procrastinated so that he could not be convicted, so that people seized the opportunity to drag someone to accompany him to death.

How to do?

Hurry up and do a big thing, maybe you can make up for the crime.

According to the plan discussed with the other three, Lu Yi dispatched all the people.

The things he was going to do were very simple, and sometimes the simpler the things, the more painful they were - Jin Baolou was recruiting people, and he sent people to sneak in, not for anything else, just to poison.The lunch provided by the imperial court every day is very particular. Except for the prime ministers who eat alone in one room, the rest of them gather in the cafeteria according to their position in the official office, and the third-rank officials have a separate meal. Packed favors, no need to eat big pots.

Therefore, it is convenient to poison and only put it in a designated portion of rice, and eat it for the designated person.

Cao Lv's Zuowei General is a third rank, so is he.

And the person who ate this meal was himself.

Holding the antidote in his hand, he ate rice mixed with chronic poison.

He made good plans, waited for the time to come, hugged his stomach and cried out in pain, and then the doctor found out that he had been poisoned.

Some people may think, "Hehe, how could the Cao family be so stupid? Is this not obvious? Someone must have poisoned the wine and vegetables, not only killing Lu Shilang, but also planting Cao's family. It is a poisonous plan that kills two birds with one stone."

But is this something that can be cleared up with a simple word of mouth?

Who doesn't know that the Cao and Luo families have not dealt with him for a long time.

In such a situation, if there is a quarrel first, followed by poisoning and murder, it is inevitable that people will bring the two things together.

Therefore, Cao Lv fell into it, and Jinbao Building also fell into it. The restaurant owned by his family had a chance to get a contract from the court. Then, when King Yan heard that Cao Lv was entangled in a lawsuit again, he might not be happy. It will cause trouble, this is called killing birds with one stone.

Lu Yi stretched himself, planning to go to Liangyi Hall to find Cao Lv soon.

As soon as he left the door, a man trotted up and handed over a letter. He opened it and read it, with a subtle expression on his sweaty face.

"If this is true, it will be a disaster." He asked the messenger, "Is the news accurate?"

The man replied: "Lu Shilang put 1 hearts in his heart, and he dared to report the news to you only after he made inquiries."

"Heh," Lu Yi slapped the letter paper on the man's chest, slowly took out the handkerchief from his arms and wiped his face, and returned to his usual high-spirited appearance, "Go, according to the letter, ask a few people to watch Come on, this is another good show."

The man took the order to leave, and Lu Yi swaggered through the courtyard of the official office, and all the officials he met saluted him respectfully.His boss' servant is a mediocre talent from Queen Zhao's family. He only has the ability to make peace in the political affairs hall, but he dares not let the emperor and Queen Zhao know that he is called to make up for every big matter. This is in his hands. Here, even if he is sitting in the second place in the province, he is respected as if he were his immediate boss.

When he arrived at the Hall of Liangyi, he waited outside the hall to be summoned, took the opportunity to glance around the corridor, it was a coincidence that he came - all the followers of King Yan were not there, he must have been carried back to the palace to rest.

He didn't need to meet King Yan face to face, he was immediately full of confidence.

In the hall, Zhuan Sun Yongde sighed helplessly after listening to Eunuch Yun's report, and slowly ate the oranges in his hand petal by petal. Cao Lv was sitting on the twig beside the couch. Political affairs came to argue with him, without frowning.

"Well, King Yan has lost his son and has no successors, but we can't take it lightly. Who knows if his wolf ambition will stop there?" Zhuan Sun Yongde sneered, not feeling the slightest bit sad about his cousin's death, and shot him off. The orange peel in his hand, "At this time, Lu Yi, the dog, is not around to serve, and came here to talk about things. He really is wholeheartedly for the country and the people."

The orange peel was hanging on the ground, he raised his hand to block it, and went to pick it up himself.

Cao Lu and Eunuch Yun are not surprised. The Holy One has always been gentle and close to his own people, and he has always done things that are easy to do.

Zhuan Sun Yongde leaned over, his shoulder brushed Cao Lu's knee, because they were too close.

Cao Lv moved quickly.

Zhuan Sun Yongde's eyes flashed in the indescribably precious brilliant purple robe, he paused slightly with the hand holding the orange peel, then got up, and threw the things on the tray as if nothing had happened.

"Call him in."

After Cao Lu got up, Zhuan Sun Yongde stepped behind the imperial case with his hands behind his back, sat on the dragon chair, watched Lu Yi stepping over the threshold with a serious face, and walked over respectfully with small steps.
