Cao Mu's concubine's name is Yao Jiaojiao, who was originally the daughter of a concubine of a wealthy businessman in Suzhou.

This Yao Jiaojiao is delicate and charming, graceful, and extremely knowledgeable, he is an eight-sided and exquisite character, which is quite loved by Cao Mu. Therefore, in a month, Cao Mu stayed in this concubine's room for half a month, so Jiaojiao was also very prosperous in this backyard.

Yao Jiaojiao has a younger brother named Yao Jin, who was born to a concubine, failed to study, had no business share, and would have no future at home. The delicate was anxious about her brother's future, so she often blew the pillow wind, and even helped her brother find an errand in the yamen.

Yao Jin is also a clever character, he is good at shooting horses, good at looking at eyes, knowing current affairs and other means, and he is quite clever, and he has only been in Yamen for 1 year, but he has been mixed up to be a team leader.

Moreover, Yao Jin has a brother-in-law who is a Zhizhou, although his sister is only a concubine, but it does not prevent the flattery and flattery of the same belonging, and he has a smooth life in Yangzhou, and occasionally he can call for wind and rain, which is far better than being angry in the children born to his father's wife and concubines in Suzhou.

Saying that, Jiaojiao got Cao Mu's reply, hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the door to call her younger brother in, and frequently glanced at her while calling back, which means: The master is in a bad mood, you talk leisurely. Yao Jin immediately nodded understandingly.

Who is this Yao Jin? But it turned out that it was the military official who led the team to arrest Zhao Qiong by the river last night, but was pointed out by Zhao Qiong, this benevolent brother took the initiative to confess to Cao Mu last night.

After Yao Jin entered the house, he slowly rubbed in front of Cao Mu and called out worriedly: "Brother-in-law."

Cao Mu's face was not good, and he asked, "Last night, you asked someone to bring all the people who painted the boat and the boat, why did you only bring the main person?" Isn't your skin and flesh itchy? I can't do this little thing, and I don't have to mess around here in the future. ”

Yao Jin hurriedly replied, "Brother-in-law has taught me a very good lesson, I didn't do what happened last night, but I think about it, there is something strange about this matter!" Brother-in-law, think about it, this small painting boat has attracted so many things, some people are anxious for you to close the case quickly, and there are also people who help to overturn the case, these have to make people think a lot. Besides, brother-in-law, you don't know, that Zhao Qiong has kung fu, and he made me unable to move half of my body in one move, and I couldn't speak with a wave of my sleeves. I don't think we should offend them, in case we get into trouble, it's thankless, brother-in-law, what do you think? ”

After Cao Mu listened, he thought for a while, and thought of the "evidence" that Zhao Qiong handed over in the hall, the content of it alone made people feel that this powerful method was indeed not simple, and then nodded, his face softened slightly, and scolded, "You kid is so clever, if you mess things up in the future, just wait to go home and eat old rice." ”

Hearing this, Yao Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that the matter had passed. Busy flattering Lu smiled, "That's that, next time the little one messes up the things you arranged, the little one won't have the face to mess with his brother-in-law anymore." ”

Seeing that Cao Mu's face was still not so good, he asked cautiously, "Brother-in-law, do you have anything else to worry about, do you want to give me some small ideas?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Mu's heart moved, looked at Yao Jin and said, "Now this matter is very tricky, the secret envoy is urging the case to be closed today, but now Hu Su has put forward a new witness, and the case is about to be overturned, and your brother-in-law and I have been pinched and hurt." The crime of "remembering Jiangnan" is not safe, nor is it uneasy, but it is really a dilemma. ”

After Yao Jin heard this, he touched the sleeve on the right side with his left hand, and wanted to try it, so he hurriedly leaned forward and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I have a method, how about you try it?" Then he approached Cao Mu's ear and said in such a low voice.

After Cao Mu heard this, his eyes showed surprise, he lowered his head and thought about it and felt that this plan was quite feasible, and then asked a few more key words, Yao Jin whispered a few words, and then took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Cao Mu and then retired.

At this time, Cao Mu's face immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and he waved to the concubine who had been standing on the side for a long time, Yao Jiaojiao saw that the old man's face was better, so she walked over gracefully, and before she got closer, she was scooped into her arms by Cao Mu, and after constantly rubbing the two soft balls on her chest, she said happily in her heart, "Your younger brother, you have a lot of cleverness, let him follow the master and me well, and he will not be able to treat him." ”

Yao Jiaojiao's face was crimson when she was rubbed by the master, and she became more and more beautiful, she was so soft that she was in Cao Mu's arms, and whispered, "It's up to you to lift him more, master." ”

Cao Muha laughed twice, hugged Jiaojiao into the inner room curtain, and then a burst of wheezing accompanied by the woman's tactful **** and weak greeting sound, and the winter sun outside sprinkled in every corner of the room, and the door was quietly closed by the subordinates.

Before this time came, it was reported in the yamen that Lord Cao of Zhizhou suddenly fell ill, and the illness was very serious, and the famous doctors in Yangzhou City were all invited to come to a conclusion, that is, he had typhoid fever, he needed bed rest, he could not work hard, and he needed to recuperate for at least a month to recover Yunyun.

In this way, the case that could not be tried today was transferred to Yangziwei Hu Su to continue the trial, and the place where this case occurred was originally under the jurisdiction of Yangziwei, and it was not unruly to send it back to Yangzi County for trial.

This illness is quite strange, but it makes the secret envoy popular to jump feet, but there is nothing to do, the secret envoy went to see it several times, although he knew that there must be a cat in it, but he couldn't point out that Cao Mu was pretending to be sick, and he left the Zhizhou Mansion in anger.

The secret envoy was tricked by a character he thought was a little Zhizhou, and he was so angry in his heart that he thought hatefully, "If you let this Cao Mu fall into your own hands, you will ruthlessly rectify this bad official, and let him also taste his own methods." ”

Cao Mu here still doesn't know that he has been remembered, seeing that the secret envoy is gone, his heart is happy, he closed the door and hugged his concubine and ravaged it, for a while, the tent was soft and warm, and the red waves were turned, which made the concubine gasp again and again, Cao Mu's heart was happy and beautiful, and these are not expressed for the time being.

It is said that the group of criminals, including witnesses and exhibits, were brought to the Yangtze County Ya, Hu Su after repeated scrutiny, peeling off the cocoon, step by step and carefully interrogated, and finally judged that the "Yi Jiangnan" painting boat was innocent, and released Zhao Qiong, the director of the painting boat, on the spot.

The owner of the boat, Qian Da, knew that the thieves had abducted an innocent woman but did not report it to the official, and later because he was instructed by someone to wrongfully "remember Jiangnan", two crimes and one crime, he was beaten dozens of boards, his family property was confiscated, and he was driven back.

One of the thieves who was arrested was sent to Yazhou after being tried. The captives sent for them to be sent home.

At this time, in an inn in Yangzhou City, the secret envoy knelt at the feet of a man in white who was sitting on one leg and said, "My subordinates are not doing things well, please punish the deputy commander." ”

The man in white was Liu Congguang, he looked at his subordinates lightly, "You really didn't do a good job, we originally planned to set up this game, we could completely force out the people behind them, and then we could deploy the next steps, but now we have lost all our efforts." ”

When the envoy heard this, his head bowed even deeper, and he was speechless.

"Get up, remember that you are a first offender, and go down and receive the punishment yourself." After Liu Congguang finished speaking, he didn't say much, and the secretary breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the deputy commander and left.

Liu Congguang stood up, paced a few steps in the room, then stopped at the window, pondered silently for a while, his brows suddenly loosened, and said, "We are not completely ungained, at least we know that "Yi Jiangnan" is not simple, it is certain that they are people from one of the two sides, why do I have to chase down the mastermind behind them now?" ”

At this time, a warm voice came from the darkness, "What the young master said is very true. ”

Liu Congguang suddenly laughed, "Then you help me pass the order, keep an eye on the Eight Kings' Mansion, and we will return to Beijing tomorrow." ”

"Yes" was quiet again in the darkness.

In a private house in Yangzhou City, a young man with an ordinary face was listening to another handsome man's return, then smiled and said, "This time we can't be brought out, Liu Congguang is afraid that he will go back to Bianjing to play with us next, and we still respond to all changes with the same." ”

Then he took a slow sip of tea and asked, "Have you found any whereabouts of that group of thieves?" ”

The handsome man replied, "They fled quite quickly, but there seems to be some clues, I will continue to follow, master, please rest assured." ”

The master said, "These guys actually did such a thing, you must find out and help Zhao Qiong get out of this evil breath." After thinking about it, he said, "What kind of nunnery did they mention in Bianjing?" ”

"Yes, master."

"You send someone to check all the nunnery in the capital, I want to see who they are?"

The subordinate should be low.
