Lichun Courtyard, in Yangzhou City, is a very famous green building.

Recently, the business of Richun Temple has been affected a lot. After all, there are more things in the city, and there are more people arrested, and the affairs of the Han family make everyone panic.

What's more, the city is still closed now, which makes people even more worried.

However, there are some people who don't care, their net worth is not as much as that of the Han family, and they usually don't have any intersection with the government, they just have a little money.

Such people don't care much about what the court does, whether the Jinyi Guards catch people or not has a relationship with them, basically they just do what they should do, sing and dance, and live the same life.

Under the support of this kind of person, the business of Lichun Yuan is still okay.

When Cao Bang came to Lichun Courtyard, he found that it was still very lively, and the sound of silk strings and the sound of beauty could be heard from afar.

Cao Bang stepped out of the car and walked into Lichun Courtyard.

Someone has already come to greet you.

The group walked directly to the second floor and entered the Tianzi No. 1 room.

Although the Lichun Courtyard in Yangzhou is not the Lichun Courtyard in Nanjing, the architectural structure here is similar to that in Nanjing, and the whole is the same.

Yangzhou's Tianzi No. 1 room is the same as Nanjing's Tianzi No. 1 room, not only has an eavesdropping device, the sound insulation effect is very poor, but also has a voyeur device.

Here, you can't do anything if you want to, and if you are seen, it will be trouble.

In the room, Huang Changzong was a little nervous in his heart, for fear that Cao Bang would say something that should not be said.

After being brought into the house, Cao Bang saw Huang Changzong at a glance, and a smile appeared on his face.

Speaking of which, being able to see Huang Changzong at this time made Cao Bang feel relieved.

The reason is also very simple, now that things have come to this point, many people are avoiding suspicion. Even the people of the Ye family played this game, but it didn't work out, and the Ye family was arrested by themselves.

Huang Changzong is even more sensitive at this time, and his identity is not ordinary. Although they do the same thing as everyone else, they are all in business, but they are officials.

To put it bluntly, Huang Changzong is an official and businessman, and he does business for the emperor, and seeing himself at this time actually represents an attitude.

If Huang Changzong wants to put aside the relationship, then he probably won't have a show, and he will definitely not come to see him. But Huang Changzong didn't, and being willing to see himself at this time meant that it was a good thing.

With a bright smile on his face, Cao Bang arched his hand at Huang Changzong and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, but Huang Xiandi's demeanor is still the same." ”

"Brother Cao is polite." Huang Changzong also hurriedly replied with a smile, and at the same time made a gesture of please, saying, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

After the two sat down, someone brought tea, and Cao Bang said: "Brother Huang Xian, I won't hide it from you, I want to see you now, I actually have no bottom here, I really want to ask you something." ”

"Really?" Huang Changzong drank tea and said quietly: "I don't know what is going on?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to talk about things first." Cao Bang said with a smile: "I brought something for you today." ”

While speaking, Cao Bang took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and put them on the table and said, "Just some mundane things, I hope Brother Huang Xian will not be polite." ”

Seeing the money that Cao Bang took out, Huang Changzong felt a remorse in his heart.

If I had known you were doing this, I wouldn't have saved you. The two of us have known each other for so many years, and we have done a lot of business, and it is true that I have made a lot of benefits in the process, but it is all business benefits, and I have never accepted bribes.

On the one hand, Huang Changzong didn't dare, and on the other hand, he didn't need it, and when he was doing business, he casually carried a little bit of his own private business, which was enough to eat, drink, and spend, and there was no need to take such a big risk to accept bribes. What's more, Cao Bang hasn't sent anything over the years, and everyone is used to it.

But who would have thought that this Cao Bang would actually make such a show at this time?

You know, there are people listening all around, and the emperor is right next to you. If this is passed on, will I die?

It's just a pit!

Huang Changzong stood up directly, looked at Cao Bang with a serious face and said, "Brother Cao, what are you doing?" We've known each other for so many years, and now you're sending me money, is this looking down on me? ”

"We know each other and intersect with each other based on feelings, after so many years, when did my surname Huang take your money? When have I ever been with you? ”

"We've been together for so long, and you're insulting me with these things?"

While speaking, Huang Changzong also slapped it on the table, and said with a very angry look: "If that's the case, take your money and leave for me!" You're tarnishing our relationship! ”

Looking at Huang Changzong's angry appearance, Cao Bang was a little helpless, and he also knew in his heart that this incident really made his virtuous brother angry.

Cao Bang smiled bitterly and pulled Huang Changzong to sit down, and then said: "Don't be angry, brother foolish, there is no way." Now Yangzhou City can be said to be panicked, and the affairs of the Han family and the Ye family, you must also know. I really don't have any confidence in my heart, so I want to get some news from you, or ask you to see what the situation is. ”

"This money is not for you, and I also know that this work needs to be done up and down. In this officialdom, how many officials don't want money? If you want them to do something, you can't give more than that. Even if you have the face of the virtuous brother, the money that should be spent still has to be spent, so this money is not for the virtuous brother. ”

"When someone asks for money, even if the virtuous brother takes it and spends it, he will tell the foolish brother if it is not enough."

Looking at Cao Bang with a sincere face, Huang Changzong really wanted to go up and give him a kick.

Your uncle, you don't talk like that on weekdays, are you trying to kill someone now?

Don't you know that saying that kills people?

When is it your turn to comment on the characters in officialdom?

You want people to know that you have given bribes to officialdom? Or do you want people to know that everyone in officialdom is a corrupt official who collects money?

Although there are many such cases, you can't say it! I know that you and I don't have a relationship, and we can be regarded as a family, but if you do this, everyone will die!

Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang and said directly: "Brother, what is the matter with me today?" ”

Huang Changzong really didn't dare to continue talking to Cao Bang, if he said something more, Cao Bang might not say anything.

Interrupt him completely, and let Cao Bang hurry up and get down to business. If he doesn't let him say that, then the rest will be over.

"Brother Xian, don't worry." Cao Bang said with a smile: "Actually, the foolish brother just wants to ask, is Your Majesty coming to Yangzhou?" ”

After hearing this, Huang Changzong almost didn't jump.

Is this a casual question?

Find out Your Majesty's whereabouts, don't talk about ordinary people like you, even if you are an official, you can't change to an official!

What are you going to do to spy on Your Majesty's whereabouts?

Are you trying to do wrong? Aren't you guilty of death?

Huang Changzong really didn't know what to say, he really wanted to pick up Cao Bang and ask him, what are you thinking?

Get down to business, get down to business! What do you mean by that?

In fact, for Cao Bang, this is the right thing. It was a serious matter to take money before, and it was also a serious matter to say those words, and it was still a serious matter to ask about the emperor's whereabouts.

If the emperor came to Yangzhou, then Cao Bang would have to think of another way. Although Cao Bang guessed it, it was still not sure, and asking Huang Changzong would determine it.

But Huang Changzong dares to answer this question?

Zhu Youxiao came to Yangzhou quietly and secretly, and his current whereabouts are all kept secret. Although it has reached this point, some people can guess it, such as Cao Bang in front of him, but if you guess this kind of thing, you can guess it, why do you want to say it? After all, this has not been made public.

There is no open secret, and even if you already know it, you have to pretend not to know, and you have to treat it as a secret.

Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang with a calm face and said, "Brother Cao, how can we as courtiers find out about His Majesty's whereabouts?" Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, is it not the king's minister? Your Majesty naturally goes wherever he wants. ”

Cao Bang glanced at Huang Changzong, nodded and said, "I can't help it, after all, the way Yangzhou looks like it is really unsettling." ”

"Brother Cao, let's get down to business." Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang and said.

Now Huang Changzong can be said to be worried, for fear that Cao Bang will say that he is here to ask about the emperor's whereabouts.

If Cao Bang really said such a thing, it would be over, and neither of them would be able to get out.

Fortunately, Cao Bang didn't come to do this matter, he looked at Huang Changzong and said, "I just came to ask, why were the Han family and the Ye family arrested?" You also know that I am close to the two of them, so if something happens, I can hide from them. ”

Huang Changzong glanced at Cao Bang and sighed in his heart.

These people are really rich, and they become unscrupulous. In the court, who would dare to do this?

Whoever is an official, who doesn't know how powerful His Majesty is?

Emperor Taizu back then investigated a Hu Weiyong case, to what extent was it used by him? Ten years later, he also used the Hu Weiyong case to kill Li Shanchang.

Everyone knows that it is impossible, and if it was not found out ten years ago, there will be evidence ten years later? Are you kidding?

Ten years ago, Hu Weiyong was investigated, if Li Shanchang was really involved, how could he wait until ten years later?

Anyway, as long as this kind of thing is done, then there is no need to ask what the reason is. What is the reason? Isn't there such a thing as a crime just put on it?

Huang Changzong looked at Cao Bang and said, "I don't know about this matter, after all, this is Jinyiwei's case, and it's not good for me to listen to it in private." But if Brother Cao doesn't want to be implicated, why don't you join our Internal Affairs Office? ”

"We talked about this matter before, and I also told you about the treatment of the Internal Affairs Office, I think it is much better than Brother Cao doing it himself, what does Brother Cao think?"
