Chapter 15: The Night Detective (Part II)

It has been said that the more ruthless a person looks on the outside, the more cowardly he is on the inside.

The person who usually oversees the state is obviously this kind of person. Cao Miao didn't use much means, but just made a cut in his chest, and he was completely stunned. 1510, told all the things and the inventory, and finally wrote a confession according to Cao Miao's request.

The person who supervised the country was called Wang Tai, the word Bokang, and the Langya people. The Wang family is a big family in Langya, Wang Tai boasted of his talent when he was young, and his expectations were very high, he never thought about the Yellow Turban, the world was in turmoil for more than 30 years, and he had no place for poetry, books and scriptures. It was easy to stabilize a little, he became an official, and the official went to Baima County, and when he saw that he was going to go further, he stood on the wrong side in the Han and Wei Chan dynasties and was dismissed as a commoner.

Seeing that he was over half a hundred years old and his career was faltering, he thought of taking a shortcut and beating Cao Zhi, a water dog.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Cao Wei established a policy of strict management of the clan, not only letting the county and state where he was located to supervise the kings, but also setting up full-time personnel such as supervising the state and guarding the auxiliary officials. The stricter the supervision of the clan, the easier it is to be promoted, especially for Cao Zhi, who once competed with Cao Pi for the throne. Falsely accusing Cao Zhi not only has a high success rate, but also has a very low cost, and even if there is no evidence, he will generally not be punished.

When Wang Tai was in Baima County, Dongjun Taishou Wang Ji did this.

Wang Tai's predecessor, Guan Jun, did the same. Now Guan Jun has been promoted to an official and has gone to Xincheng County to be a county official. If nothing else, Zhishi was able to do 2,000 stone before.

Wang Tai learned Wang Ji and Guan Junlai without any psychological pressure, but this confession fell into the hands of Han Dong, and his career was completely ruined. Not to mention anything else, today's ugliness is enough to ruin his reputation.

Wang Tai was very sad and cried bitterly.

However, he flatly denied collusion with Shu Han. He had never been in contact with the Shu Han people, and he did not have this condition. He framed Cao Zhi at the behest of the Dongjun Taishou Wangji. As for whether Wang Ji has anything to do with Shu Han, he doesn't know.

Wang Ji. When Cao Miao heard this name again and again, she hated it so much that it was firmly engraved in her heart.

Looking at Wang Tai, who was paralyzed on the bed, like a mass of slugs, and then thinking about Wang Ji, Cao Miao was indescribably disgusting. The Taiyuan royal family and the Langya royal family are both famous families, and they have a good reputation in history, how can there be such a scum?

Seeing that Wang Tai used the seal on the confession, Cao Miao put away the confession, and the long sword dangled in front of Wang Tai.

"Thank you for your cooperation. What to do next, you should know very well, right? ”

Wang Tai was so frightened that he knelt on the bed and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy. When he raised his head, he found that there was no one in front of him, and "Han Dong" had already left. He collapsed on the bed all of a sudden, gasping for breath, and did not recover for a long time.

Thinking that the shortcomings were pinched in Han Dong's hands, and his career and reputation were ruined, Wang Taibei came from it, but he didn't dare to cry loudly, so he could only cover his mouth and whimper silently like a dog with a broken leg.

Cao Miao came to Han Dong's courtyard again, confirmed that Han Dong had not woken up, quietly returned his clothes and long sword, and returned the same way.

Ah Hu waited anxiously, and when he saw that Cao Miao was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and went down the wall with Cao Miao. Back in the hall, Cao Miao asked Ah Hu to go to the opposite side to listen to the movements of green peach and red apricot, and entered the study by himself.

As soon as he entered, he stopped, his arm shook slightly, and the short knife hidden in his sleeve slipped out and held it in his hand.

The door of the inner room, which had been closed, was hidden, and a light came out of it.

Cao Miao didn't move, just quietly moved her body, leaning her back against the wall.

After a while, Ah Hu came back, and just as he was about to speak, Cao Miao raised a finger to block his mouth, and pointed to the crack in the door of the inner room, signaling Ah Hu to stand on the other side of the door, forming a flank with him. Ah Hu also reacted, was taken aback, pulled out a long knife, and protected it in front of him.

Cao Miao was about to open the door, the door opened, and Qingtao appeared in front of them wearing a coat of Cao Miao, smiling.

"The prince is back."

Ah Hu was dumbfounded, looked at Qingtao, and then looked at the door opposite, looking dazed.

Cao Miao frowned, her eyes were like electricity, and she stared at the green peach. "Qingtao, why are you here?"

Qingtao pursed her lips and smiled, bending her knees slightly. "The prince went out on a night trip, and the servant could not accompany him like Ah Hu, so he had to keep watch in the house, prepare water, and wait for the prince to come back and serve the prince to wash. In case there is an uninvited guest, the servant can also deal with one or two. ”

Cao Miao walked into the room, and sure enough, he saw prepared items such as water and cloth towels. He didn't say anything more, and after Qingtao finished washing, he asked Ah Hu to bring the water out, but Qingtao was left. Qingtao had expected it, and without saying much, she closed the door and opened the curtain.

"Prince, the hour is not early, go to bed early."

Cao Miao went to bed, but did not lie down, sat on the edge of the bed, and quietly looked at Qingtao.

Qingtao knelt down and lowered her head. "Without the permission of the prince, the servant maid took matters into her own hands, trespassed into the inner chamber, and committed a capital crime."

Cao Miao was silent for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "How did you find out?" ”

"The prince has behaved strangely in the past two days, repeatedly clashed with Han Dong, the school officer, and asked about the situation in the house, and the maid thought that you might find him trouble, and he has been paying attention to it these days."

"What else?"

"The maidservant cooked the medicine for the prince, but the prince clearly didn't drink it, but the medicine was gone. There was no trace of dumping in the courtyard, but Ah Hu had to go out of the yard several times a day. The maid thought that maybe Ah Hu had been ordered by the prince and took it elsewhere. As for who it was given, the servant couldn't think of it. ”

Cao Miao's face remained unchanged, but he was surprised in his heart, and his once firm confidence was shaken a little. He thought he was doing a good job, but he didn't think about it, but everything fell in Qingtao's eyes, whether his acting skills were not good, or Qingtao was too smart.

"Well, what else?"

"Nope."

"Really?" Cao Miao quietly added three points of coercion to her tone.

"Not really." Qingtao's body trembled, and she hurriedly took a step on her knees, stepped forward to hug Cao Miao's legs, and raised her head. "As for today's events, there is indeed none. Merely...... These days, the servant sees that the prince is a little different from before, and she is a little more careful. When others asked, the maid didn't dare to say a word that shouldn't have been said. ”

"Who asked?"

"The supervisor of the country, the auxiliary officer, and the second prince." Qingtao paused, and then said, "Madame called the maidservant and asked once." ”

Cao Miao was very happy to learn that so many people cared about her, and that scene was finally not in vain. He turned over and lay down, and motioned for Qingtao to come up and cover the corner of the tent.

"Tell me everything you know, and you won't miss a thing."

"Whoa." Qingtao responded crisply, like a kitten, climbed into bed from Cao Miao's feet, and carefully curled up beside Cao Miao, looking at Cao Miao intently with a pair of shy and timid eyes. It seems that as soon as she blinks, Cao Miao will be gone again.
