Nie Dan didn't say anything more, but asked Zheng Han to go with her.

Cao Yue was embarrassed and didn't dare to ask Nie Dan about Zhu Shengjun and his daughter, so he could only leave in disgrace.

He went to the old mansion to talk to Cao Zhongyi.

When Cao Yue went to the old mansion to talk to Cao Zhongyi, Cao Zhongyi was receiving guests.

In the past few days, there have been many people who have come to Cao Zhongyi, and most of them have come to Yanjing to come to him for a meeting.

Cao Zhongyi knew what was going on, and he also received some people. The people who can be received by him are those old subordinates, and these old subordinates came to visit him after coming to Beijing, if they don't receive them, they are really a little unkind.

However, when Cao Zhongyi received these people, he inherited several principles: first, he did not talk about current affairs and only talked about the past; second, he did not give any promises to anyone; and third, everyone only received them for 10 minutes, and when the 10 minutes were over, they would be driven out immediately.

When Cao Yue came to the old mansion, the old subordinate of Cao Zhongyi, who came to visit, was drinking tea with the old man.

Seeing Cao Yue coming, Cao Zhongyi also directly asked Cao Yue to sit down and drink tea with him.

The old subordinate knew Cao Zhongyi's character, so he didn't bring gifts, nor did he ask Cao Zhongyi for anything, and he didn't even say what he thought, but just had some family work with the old man, and when the time came, he automatically said goodbye and left.

However, after this subordinate left, Cao Zhongyi did not receive anyone again, he knew that Cao Yue came to find him and had something to say.

Cao Yue was afraid of delaying the old man's time, so he said something briefly, and asked Cao Zhongyi's attitude towards Lu Changle, and whether he wanted to use some means to capture the guy called "Yuanshan" at this time.

Cao Zhongyi knew what Cao Yue meant, and directly explained what he meant, so that Cao Yue could freely transfer anyone in Yanjing.

When Cao Yue heard what Cao Zhongyi said, he was naturally overjoyed and immediately said goodbye and left.

After leaving the old mansion, he immediately summoned several highly skilled people in Yanjing and ordered them to immediately arrest "Yuanshan." ”

At the same time, he ordered Jiao Niang in Yanjing to follow him these days, and he asked her to do something.

Jiao Niang also came to Cao Yue's side immediately, and Cao Yue ordered him to closely monitor Lu Changle's movements, and then inquire about Li Xiaoqin's movements by the way. After instructing Jiao Niang in detail what to do, Cao Yue also specially told that these two women must not let these two women know that he sent someone to spy on them.

Jiao Niang took the order and left.

However, Jiao Niang's return was not surprising to Cao Yue, and the two women did not make any special moves. It seemed that they hadn't done anything to be sorry for him, or rather, they weren't planning anything, and everything wasn't planned by them.

Cao Yue was worried that the tracking incident in the Old Summer Palace was a bitter ploy directed by Lu Changle himself, the purpose of which was to lure him into direct conflict with those fathers of the Lu family, so that she could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

This woman was too scheming before, and he had to guard against it.

The Lu family's fathers, if they take the initiative to do something against him, he must respond.

If Lu Changle planned a series of events and asked him to take the initiative to conflict with them, then he would not be fooled.

He was also afraid that Li Xiaoqin was planning something, this woman was also very scheming and dangerous, he had to deal with it carefully, after all, his father's position was too sensitive.

About five hours after the two women were reported that there was nothing out of the ordinary, news came from several other people that they had captured the man nicknamed "Far Mountain".

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Cao Yue was overjoyed and immediately rushed over in person.

"Yuanshan" was captured by Cao Yue and locked up in a secret stronghold, when the two sides encountered, there was a conflict, "Yuanshan" was seriously injured, and the few people sent out by Cao Yue were also injured, but it was not serious.

Cao Yue also asked his subordinates to interrogate the "distant mountain" strictly, and he must be asked to explain who instructed him.

After some "professional" torture, "Yuanshan" finally confessed that the person who instructed him to follow Lu Changle was his uncle.

The people of the Lu family found out that Lu Changle had different intentions, and suspected that Lu Changle was colluding with Cao Yue and wanted to get something from the Lu family, so they sent someone to follow her and wanted to find out about the situation.

After listening to the explanation of "Far Mountain", Cao Yue also asked people to deal with this person who was no longer useful.

The capture of "Yuanshan" and the eventual execution by Cao Yue's men soon became known to others.

A young man wearing high military leather boots and a black windbreaker rushed into a very old courtyard near the imperial city, he quickly ran to the old man sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, leaned down, and said to the old man in a low voice: "Grandpa, the boy of the Cao family has really been tricked and captured the distant mountain. ”

The old man listened to the young man's report, and looked indifferent, as if he had heard something completely unrelated to him.

Seeing that Grandpa didn't react, the young man couldn't help but be a little frustrated, "Grandpa, isn't this what you ordered? Let Yuanshan be exposed, and finally be captured by the Cao family's boy? Now that things are like this, you give your grandson another point, what should you do next?"

"Don't do anything, just watch the play," the old man lying on the rattan chair glanced at his grandson with his eyes half-open and half-closed, "We don't do anything, the play can be wonderful, you know?"

"Grandpa, I know," the young man somewhat understood what Grandpa meant, but in order to confirm, he still asked rhetorically: "Grandpa, do you think this will make Cao Yue and Old Man Lu's sons directly conflict?"

"Maybe, probably not," the old man lay still unfazed, and closed his eyes completely, "of course, if you want them to engage in direct conflict, you must do something more." ”

"Grandpa, then you hurry up and say, what do you want me to do?" the young man squatted down excitedly, ready to listen carefully to his grandfather's instructions.

"Having said that, don't do anything now," the old man shook his head, "You can't be too anxious to do things, otherwise it will make people suspicious, everything will be natural, let's just watch the play first." After half a month of the meeting, you can do something else, and then the show will start to be exciting. ”

"Grandpa, you say, will the Cao family and the Lu family completely turn their faces in the end?"

"That's their business, it has nothing to do with us," the old man opened his eyes slightly and looked at his grandson, and then whispered: "Jianrong, you have to remember that you can't do anything impulsively, and you can't do it too obviously. They are all smart people, and smart people are often mistaken by smart. ”

"Grandpa, I see. With your personal guidance, the result will definitely be completely different from what I planned myself. Hehe, I'll watch a good show with you!"
