Cui Lin glanced at Cao Zhao. Seeing that Cao Zhao's face was calm and he couldn't see any clues, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Cao Miao scolded Cui Liang's words, he heard them clearly, and he didn't drop a word. This made him realize that Cao Miao didn't plan to recognize the Hecui family at all, and his treatment would not be much better than Cui Liang.

Cui Liang is a junior, he is an elder, and his identity is different. Cui Liang was scolded by Cao Miao, if he was scolded by Cao Miao, where would this old face go?

The biggest reliance on family affection and seniority is useless, and can only be done officially. originally thought that this was the Zhong family's business, Zhong Yu would not back down, so he wanted Zhong Yu to take the lead, he was good at the opportunity, but he didn't expect Zhong Yu's face to be thick enough, and he refused solemnly.

If there is no invitation, he can now tell Zhong Yu calmly, I can't help it, and retreat calmly. But after asking for the order, this matter is not Zhong Yu's personal face, but an official business entrusted by His Majesty, no matter how difficult it is, he must go up hard.

It's one thing to succeed or not, and it's another thing to not be able to get up.

Cui Lin weighed it for a long time and said to Cao Zhao: "Long thought, since the township prince does not recognize family affection, then he can only do business. How about you ask the township public to come out to confront the court and clean up the source? ”

Cao Zhao smiled bitterly: "Si Li doesn't know, the township lord's ban is what the edict says. Si Li came to ask questions, but he didn't say that the township could lift the ban. In case His Majesty investigates it, I'm afraid it will not be very convenient. ”

Cui Lin frowned. "In my opinion, what should I do?"

Cao Zhao scolded in his heart. Cui Lin has always regarded himself as a moral elder, but he didn't expect to be so cunning. He wanted to put the score of his elders and let Cao Miao take the initiative to visit him, but Cao Miao pouted face. In order to complete the righteous and private affairs, he could only take the initiative to see Cao Miao, but he couldn't pull his face, but came to ask him for his idea. In the future, he will become the person responsible, and Cui Lin will become an approachable and obedient elder.

"The current plan seems to be only Si Li's deignation and move to the back hall?"

Cui Lin stroked his beard and groaned for a moment. "That's all there is to it. Uncle Zhi, what do you see? ”

Zhong Yu rolled his eyes. You said it was all I could do, what else could I do? I had to nod my head in agreement.

Cui Lin got up and tidied up his clothes in a hurry, then smiled at Cao Zhao and stretched out his hand. Cao Zhao resisted the urge to scold, with a smirk on his face, and led the way in front. Cui Lin strode with his head held high, calmly. Zhong Yu and Cui Liang followed behind, one expressionless and the other timid.

When they came to the backyard, they were also blocked by Ah Hu.

Cui Lin's eyes showed a little surprise, thoughtful. Cao Zhao was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Si Li?" ”

"Oh, nothing, distracted." Cui Lin smiled and shook his head. "Why, you won't be allowed to enter the back hall?"

Cao Zhao smiled and was about to ask, when Cao Miao's voice came from above his head. "Who's coming? Quote your name. Miao Fengzhao is grounded, it is inconvenient to receive visitors, if there is any inconsiderate, please forgive me. ”

Cui Liang's face suddenly turned red, as if he had been slapped in the face. Cao Miao deliberately said "forgiveness", and deliberately emphasized the word "forgiveness", which was naturally aimed at him and made him angry for Xiahou Xu.

Cui Lin stepped forward, appeared in the court, and bowed his hand. "Si Lixiao Wei Lin, I am instructed to ask the township business."

Cao Miao was silent for a moment, and her tone was a little hesitant. "Edict?"

"Yes." Cui Lin replied loudly, his tone sonorous, like Huang Zhong Dalu.

"Please wait." There was a soft sound overhead, and everyone looked up again, and saw that Cao Miao had come down from the railing, and then there was a sharp sound of the stairs, and a moment later, Cao Miao had appeared in front of them. He stood still at the top of the stairs, looking around blankly, with a little timidity in his expression.

"Dare to ask what's the matter?" Without waiting for Cui Lin to answer, he said again: "I heard that the captain of Sili is the same as the assassins of various states, and he is in charge of the lawlessness with six questions. I'm not a strong man, and there's nothing wrong with me, so why would Captain Sili ask me about it? ”

Cui Lin smiled slightly. "The history of the assassin is an ancient system with six questions, and if there are many things today, it is not limited to six. Moreover, although the lieutenant of Sili has the position of assassination, he is not a assassin, as long as the affairs in the territory of Sili can be asked. I came to disturb the township today, and I also acted on the edict, and asked the township to cooperate. ”

Cao Miao nodded again and again. "Since there is an edict, it is natural to cooperate. Si Li...... What do you want to ask? ”

Cui Lin Zhengse said: "Feng Zhao, ask the Gaoyang Township Father, Zhong Yu, the free rider Zhong Yu, stole his father and maid, gave birth to a son, and entrusted him to the son of the Taifu, but the township father passed it on?" ”

Zhong Yu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he was helpless. Since it is official and there is an edict, Cui Lin can only ask this. However, he always suspected that this was deliberately done by the Son of Heaven, so he wanted to be humiliated, and he deliberately let him follow.

Cao Miao's eyes were puzzled, and he looked at Cui Lin and then at Zhong Yu. "You...... Is it Zhong Yu? ”

Zhong Yu gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Miao, eager to tear Cao Miao to pieces and swallow it piece by piece. "Exactly down there."

"How old are you?"

"Two out of twenty."

"How old is that son of yours?"

Zhong Yudeng's blood was gushing upward, and even his eyes were red. He clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist and said word by word: "Fellow Citizen, that's a rumor. That's not my son, I haven't done anything like that. That's my brother, my father's blood. If you spread rumors again, don't blame me for fighting you in a duel. ”

Cao Miao looked at Zhong Yu indifferently. "You're no match for me."

"You ......" Zhong Yu shouted angrily, reaching out to draw his sword. Cao Zhao was taken aback and hurriedly stopped. His younger brother Cao Su is not Cao Miao's opponent, what is the difference between Zhong Yu and Cao Miao's duel and looking for death? "Uncle Zhi is angry, Uncle Zhi is angry, and it is not too late to wait for Si Li to finish asking."

Zhong Yu was so angry that his eyes cracked, panting like an ox, he retreated to the side with hatred, pulled out the eight-sided Han sword with exquisite workmanship at his waist, and slashed at the pillar with a sword.

Cui Lin looked at Cao Miao quietly, his face remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened, but there was a little more color in his eyes. It is said that Cao Miao is crazy, but he prefers to believe that Cao Miao is pretending to be crazy. Cao Miao's eyes were clear, even a little cold, this is not the kind of eyes that a madman would have.

Cao Miao felt Cui Lin's eyes and glanced back, revealing a little shyness. "This ...... Can I start with a question? ”

"Yes."

"Captain Sili is also in charge of rumors and rumors?"

Cui Lin hesitated for a moment. "You can ask or not, if there is an edict, you naturally have to ask."

"If you have an edict, ask." Cao Miao nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said, "This time, did Your Majesty take the initiative to issue an edict, or did Si Li ask for an edict?" ”

Cui Lin became uneasy, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead. He already knew what Cao Miao was going to ask, but he couldn't refuse. Cao Zhao and Zhong Yu watched from the sidelines, and he didn't even have a chance to be vague.

"This time I'm asking for an edict." Huang Zhong's Da Lu-like voice was gone, and Cui Lin's voice was a little hoarse.

"This time it was you who asked for the edict, so last time there was a rumor that the Son of Heaven died, did you take the initiative to ask the edict to investigate?" Cao Miao stared at Cui Lin with a sneering look in her eyes. "Or is it that Your Majesty's life and death are not as important as Taifu's reputation, and it is not worth your subordinate's trouble?"

Cui Lin sweated like rain, and his face was red and white for a while.
