Chapter 733 Scandal(1/2)

Cao Mansion, guest room.

Qi Niang poked her head out and made sure there was no one in the yard, so she invited Cao Yong into the house.

Looking at Qi Niang's mysterious appearance, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel funny and said, "What's wrong? He wants to challenge your master, the second master again? Didn't he say that he has been in three or five years without expectation?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Niang curled her lips unconvincedly, waved her fist and said, "Master bullying the young with the big one. When Qi Niang lives to that age, it is better than Master's boxing skills!"

She is from Fujian, not taller than northerners, and looks a little thin. Even if she has some talent in martial arts, she is still a little powerful. Cao Jia is in his prime and has been practicing in the world for half of his life.

The Sing Sheng Qi Niang is so strong that she insists on competing with Cao Jia every now and then. When Cao Jia is out of patience to play with her, she wants to think about a prank to attract Cao Yi to take action.

Although Cao Jia taught this little disciple quite strictly, he could not stand his disciple being "bullied". When Cao Yi took action, Cao Jia designated to take action and teach Cao Yi a lesson.

Seeing Qi Niang's swearing, Cao Yong nodded with a smile. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, it is always good to be able to practice martial arts and not be bullied at will.

If his daughter had eye disease, he really wanted to ask a wise teacher to teach her daughter to Qi Niang like this. This way, boxing can help her to live in peace, and studying medicine can establish a world.

Only then did Qi Niang remember the serious business, she lay down at the door and looked out, then pulled Cao Yong's clothes into the room: "Master Cao, there is something important!"

Seeing that her little face was tense and not as funny as she was talking and laughing, Cao Yong also stopped smiling and went into the inner room with her.

Wang Ying was tired of crying and leaned against the head of the bed, looking dull.

She had already heard the sound of Qi Niang and Cao Yong in the outer room just now, so when she saw Cao Yong and Qi Niang come in, there was no surprise on her face.

Although he had never met Wang's father and son, through the story of Mr. Fang Zhonggong, Cao Yong had already known that they were passionate men with a strong and righteous man.

If it weren't for his sake, the father and son would have no idea where they were free and easy, so how could they die so unexplainedly? Now, it's useless to talk more. Only by taking good care of the living people can we be worthy of the righteous men in the nine springs.

"Miss Wang, clean up the inner house and move it to the inner courtyard in the afternoon. Qi Niang will accompany you as your company, so don't let the heretics." Cao Yong coughed and said.

Before leaving, Gong Fang Zhong had already told Wang Ying that Cao Yong was a credible person.

Wang Ying also realized in the past two days that Cao's mansion was not an ordinary family. Whether it was the decoration of the house or the food and clothing she had, it was even more generous than the richest family in the county town she had ever seen.

If it were someone else, she would have to be a little wary. Cao Yong was the one who collected the corpse for her father and brother, but she was really grateful. She didn't find it strange to foreign affairs such as gold, silver and jewelry.

Speaking of which, the Wang family was originally a tomb robber.

Wang Wu and his children all had good skills. It was because Xiaoying's mother was the least courageous and could not persuade her husband and died of depression. Wang Wu woke up and washed his hands when his wife passed away.

With Qi Niang as the introduction, Wang Ying lowered her head and told her about the story of stealing the imperial tomb.

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this. According to the "Da Qing Law", stealing royal tombs is like digging his own ancestral tombs. No matter how he is, he is a death sentence.

Wang Ying is only fourteen or five years old, so where can she get such courage?

"Since you are taking people, who are you following? Where are you now?" Cao Yong frowned and asked with a frown.

"My father's two disciples, Hu Long and Hu Jiao... I heard that Fang Bo had died in Shahe Town that day... It was because their brothers carried the iron cone to explore the tombs that my father and others were accused of being tomb robbers by the government..." At the end of the story, Wang Ying couldn't help but have red eyes.

The little girl was also a little stubborn, biting her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying.

Cao Yong sighed and felt a little grateful. Even if he had a living at this time, he would have to be destroyed in order to protect Wang Ying. The two Hu brothers were dead, which saved the trouble of relationship.

"There are heavy troops in the imperial tomb. Since there are only three of you, the things you want to steal are limited, otherwise the government will not give up easily. You must know that parents only hope for the safety of their children. For the sake of peace in the spring of your parents, you only think that you have a dream and don't mention this matter again." If you are a kid, Cao Yong can still curse and teach a lesson; for this orphan girl who has lost her relatives, he can only feel relieved.

Wang Ying shook her head and said, "I went back and forth twice, and there were a lot of things I stole."

Qi Niang was so childish that she felt a little curious when she heard this, and asked, "Is it treasure? What are you all, sister?"

"The gems and pearl mattress weighing dozens of kilograms was carried by Hu Long. He kept shouting that he was tired and said he was very heavy. There were also half a bucket of gems and jade. There were many golden Buddhas inlaid with seven-color gems. That one was too heavy, so he picked a few more than one foot high. The rest were all kinds of hairpins, rings, bracelets, bracelets, etc. There were phoenix crowns there. I heard that the head was buried there. The queen of the previous dynasty..." Wang Ying lowered her head and whispered while leaning on her fingers.

Qi Niang could not stop listening, and Cao Yong became more and more confused when he heard it.

Listening to this, it was the stolen underground palace of the imperial tomb. What a big deal, why hasn’t the news been heard yet?

The execution of Wang Wu and his son was on the charge of robbing the imperial tomb, but it was only said that the discovery of the stolen hole.

What is there in this that I don’t know?

Why can't Wang Wu and his son, who can clearly wait until the autumn finals next year, be executed so impatiently?

The eyes were like a layer of fog covering it, making people unable to see it clearly.

Cao Yong was thinking hard, and Wang Ying had already turned her body, took out a handkerchief from her close-fitting clothes, held it in her hand and looked at it for a few seconds before sending it to Cao Yong, saying, "This is a map that hides the treasures that have been transported out and hidden again... For the sake of the little girl's whim, it affects her father and brother's death, and the little girl's crime is unforgivable. She is willing to pray for her father and brother in the second half of her life. These external things can be handled by Master Cao."

When Cao Yong heard this, he glanced at Wang Ying and asked, "What's your brother's business..."

Wang Ying's face turned pale, nodded mutely, and said, "The little girl has known for a long time. This time she went to Beijing with Bo Fang. She originally wanted to save her father and brother's lives with these jewelry, but she was a foolish idea. The little girl wanted to commit suicide in front of her father and brother's grave, but Fang Bo felt deeply ashamed because of her little girl and brother's affairs. The little girl did not want to make Bo Fang sad because of this life, so she endured it until now."

"Sister Xiaoying..." Seeing that Wang Ying was lifeless and was in a state of depression, Qi Niang was very worried.

Cao Yong then understood the reason. He took the veil, stood up, turned around and walked to the table, picked up the scythe, and lit the candle on the candlestick.

Wang Ying and Qi Niang looked at Cao Yong and felt strange. After all, it was still bright outside and it was not as good as a lamp.

After seeing Cao Yong's next move, Wang Ying couldn't help but speak in surprise.

Cao Yong raised the handkerchief with the treasure map in his hand to the candle and lit it.

The room was silent and none of the three of them spoke.

It was not until the handkerchief was burned for half and it was about to start, Cao Yong threw the handkerchief to the ground, watching it burning to a point of burning.

Wang Ying had already walked from the kang and stared at the broken handkerchiefs and ashes on the ground, and said, "Master Cao, these treasures..."

Cao Yong showed a bit of solemnity on his face and said, "Wang Ying, the same thing, tomb robbery is just a dream. Now that I have woken up from the dream, everything is gone. In order for your father and brother to be at peace in the ground, this matter should not be mentioned again in the future. It is better to be willing to pray for your father and brother, or marry and have children, and live an ordinary life, and you will follow your own."

After a while, Wang Ying let out a "wow" and cried...

Inside Andingmen, Prince Yong’s Mansion.

The fourth prince looked at the note in his hand and frowned and murmured: "Longkodo...what is going to Changping..."

Now that the Holy Lord is not in Beijing, Longkodo is the admiral of the Nine Gates. He does not guard the capital and actually disguises himself from Beijing. How can people not surprise people?

Dai Jin leaned over and said, "If you say goodbye, this slave doesn't know. I just think it's strange. This time Lord Long did not bring He Lin, and the guards he brought with him were not usually brought. According to Ma Liusuo, Lord Long left the capital and brought more than 30 followers, all of whom were innocent."

Helin was one of Longkodo's eldest sons and was his confidant.

When the fourth prince heard this, he felt more surprised. He put down the note in his hand and asked, "Did the more than thirty people who followed him, have they been staring at me?"

Dai Jin nodded and said, "After returning to Beijing, he returned to the Green Camp soldiers. The officers and soldiers went to Xishan to train and went out of Beijing the day before yesterday..." Speaking of this, he suddenly realized and said, "Master, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm not alive..."

The matter was so strange. The fourth prince stood up from his seat, walked a few steps, and said, "Lonkodo is not a person who is absurd. It seems that he has obtained the sacred order... He asked people to go to Changping to inquire. Any abnormalities, no matter how big or small, must be paid attention to them. You can always find clues..."

When he returned to Wutong Garden, Cao Yong felt a little surprised.

Although I don’t know which imperial tomb Wang Ying robbed, just the ones she said could be worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

The moment I smelled the royal treasure, if I was not moved, it would be fake. But Cao Yong also knew that this wealth was greedy and he would be innumerable.

How can people who have walked through several encounters at the gates of hell be concerned about their lives?

People in the world are ignorant, and fewer people are dazzling by gold and silver?

In this way, the deaths of the Wang father and son became more and more strange. It seemed that some people could not wait to destroy their mouths, the purpose... besides the treasures hidden in the imperial tomb, what else can there be...

The magistrate of Changping, the prefect of Shuntian... the Minister of Justice... go up...

Thinking of this, Cao Yong stood up, clenched his fist, and knocked his chin.

Cao Yong has already talked with Chu Yu about Wang Ying's identity.

Of course, he had just learned about the tomb robbery and did not intend to tell his wife. It was not that he was not honest, but that he planned to hide the matter in his heart and not mention it anymore, so as not to be careless and make mistakes.

Chu Yu's side is like Cao Yong, who feels guilty about Wang Ying because of the death of Wang's father and son.

After all, it was a girl's house, so it was not easy to live in the guest room for a long time, so she packed up the idle Songyuan and planned to be Wang Ying's residence. It just so happened that Wei Hei and his wife were not there, and it was not appropriate for Qi Niang to stay alone in the front yard, so she asked her to live with Wang Ying in Songyuan.

After making arrangements, he picked two mature nannies to take care of them, and pointed out the two little maids to serve there. Chu Yu returned to Wutongyuan.

Seeing her husband concentrating and thinking hard, Chu Yu thought he was still worried about chasing the murderer and whispered: "Don't worry, your husband, don't worry, aren't there any clues? You will always find out some of your mistakes."

"Clues? Yes, there will always be clues." Cao Yong nodded and said...

The next day, the Forbidden City, the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Since the morning, the sky has become cloudy. In the afternoon, the north wind is howling, and the heavy snow is rolling with goose feathers, making the window frames "pat" sound.

In normal times, colleagues would have to say "Auspicious snow indicates good harvest" or something, and then they would be thinking about "sweeping snow and making tea" and be elegant.

In this kind of cold weather, it’s too late for everyone to scold me, so who has the time to have that leisure time?

Yidu stood tightly with his official uniform, looked at the fur cloak in Xiaoman's hand, and asked with some envy: "Is this what your big grandmother sent me?"

Xiaoman nodded with a smile and said, "Well, it rains and snows, our grandma will bring people over. In our grandma's eyes, our grandma is precious, and it's not OK to blow and drip."

Cao Yong sat behind the desk and was reading the official document. After hearing Xiaoman's words, he felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at him and said, "Talk."

When Xiaoman heard this, he stuck out his tongue, quickly put down the cloak in his hand, and called people to add charcoal to the charcoal basin.

Yiduli guarded the charcoal basin, reached out and baked it, sighing heavily.

Seeing this, Cao Yong asked, "What's wrong with this sir?"

"It's cold, and the heart is even colder." Yiduli lowered his head and looked at the official uniform on his body, and said, "The adults only have a monogamous wife, knowing cold and hot; the officials have several wives and concubines, but they don't even have a carefree person. Although the fur inside is new clothes, it's just a scene to deal with things."

Cao Yong knew that it was the most difficult thing to get rid of the favor of the beauty. He really couldn't sympathize with his wife and concubines in Yidu's family.

There are gains and losses, and there is no two things in this world.

"The adults are attached to the appearance, and they are beautiful wives and concubines. There are also many people who envy them." Cao Yong said with a smile.
