Volume 3 Spring and Autumn of the Pen Knife Chapter 328 Going to the Banquet Alone

What the? Childe, are you going to see Liu Defa at noon tomorrow? When everyone was having dinner together, ** suddenly exclaimed loudly, and then reacted, lowered his voice slightly, turned his head to Wang Zhiyuan and said, "Teacher, why don't you go with Gongzi at noon tomorrow?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan was about to nod in agreement, but Cao Yi had already refused: "No, I'll go alone tomorrow, but when the time comes, Brother Gongye will go with me, and bring four more guards, I have already asked Jiangning to send someone over to support, it should be there in two or three days, everyone should try to be careful these days." ”

"But ......" ** still wanted to persuade Cao Yi, and was about to continue, but was interrupted by the latter, Cao Yi took a chopstick dish and stuffed it directly in front of **'s mouth, "Ah", signaling ** to open his mouth and eat.

** Immediately stretched out the chopsticks and wanted to catch them, but Cao Yi insisted on feeding, so he had to open his mouth shyly and bite down. Then he blocked what he wanted to say, although his eyes looked at Cao Yi with great dissatisfaction, condemning him for not letting himself speak just now, but it was not lethal at all.

After eating, Wang Zhiyuan gave Cao Yi a look, Cao Yi raised his head slightly, and motioned Wang Zhiyuan to come to the study with him, ** Seeing this, he didn't follow Cao Yi, his teacher must be able to control the situation, and the son and the teacher should have their own decisions, so they won't make trouble.

When he arrived in the study, Wang Zhiyuan looked at Cao Yi and said, "It's hard to talk about it in detail just now, Cao Yi, if you don't repeat everything you said to Fei Zhizhou today, I'll see if I can give some opinions or have any suggestions." ”

Then Cao Yi picked the key points of what Fei Haomiao talked to him about today and talked to Wang Zhiyuan in detail.

"In this way, it has been determined that Zuo Gaogao was killed by the person named Huang Man'er, and it is very likely that the Liu family or Liu Defa has already guessed or already known that Zuo Gaogao will record all the previous crimes of Liu Chengze."

Cao Yi nodded, "Well, I guess it's Liu Defa or the think-tank type person next to him, who thinks that Zuo Gao'er is very likely to expose or confess Liu Chengze's crimes, so he sent Huang Man'er to kill people and kill people, but I guess Huang Man'er is a force-type but not an intellectual-type person, so after killing Zuo Gaogao for the first time, he left so many flaws, and the second time, the Liu family sent him to find possible confessions or evidence, although he found them in common places, But he didn't look up at the beam at all, and he didn't find He Li to look at it, he shouldn't be very careful and ...... Clever. ”

"Well, maybe that's the way it is...... It's just that I don't know, whether Gongye Yuanzhou is powerful or Huang Man'er from the Western Regions is powerful......" Wang Zhiyuan underestimated.

"Uh......" Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Uncle Wang was still discussing whether Huang Man'er killed Zuo Gaogao a moment ago, and how he would compare his martial arts combat power with Gongye Yuanzhou later.

As soon as Wang Zhiyuan saw Cao Yi's expression, he knew what Cao Yi was thinking in his heart, and said solemnly at the moment: "We march to war, even if the two countries have already negotiated a truce and formed an alliance at that time, we must be prepared for the worst result in everything...... Since Huang Man'er can be so relied on by Liu Defa, he naturally has his uniqueness, which may be super force. You are very sensible, everything is in accordance with the most suitable method for yourself, no matter what you do, it is always the most reasonable choice, but you can't also look at others by your own standards, just like if the Liu family suddenly loses his mind? No one can guarantee that they will send Huang Man'er to kill you! ”

"If you really wait until that time, it's completely too late to think about how to take precautions, so Cao Yi, no matter what kind of winning situation you are in in the future, even at the last moment, unless you have completely sealed the coffin, you should never let your guard down!" Wang Zhiyuan looked at Cao Yi, his eyes were serious, and he said sincerely: "Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, dogs can become wolves when they are in a hurry, and some beasts, even if they die, they will still retain the ability to bite people to the death, not to mention enemies who are several times more dangerous than them......"

Cao Yi looked at Wang Zhiyuan and nodded, after all, he has been in the modern society under the rule of law for too long, although he has been in this world for more than two years, but some of his mentality has not changed: "I know, Uncle Wang, if a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I will not let myself fall into an uncontrollable dangerous situation." ”

"Well, in my guess, Liu Defa asked you to meet tomorrow, it is nothing more than two kinds, first look at your views and reactions to the previous conflict between you and Liu Chengze, it is a warrior and, it should also depend on your attitude, they are businessmen, and they are a family of salt gangs, and they have the temperament to value harmony, but when they should be ruthless, they will definitely not be soft...... Cao Yi, what do you think of Liu Chengze's matter in the end? ”

Cao Yi was silent for a moment, and said with a slight wry smile: "Uncle Wang, I really want to arrest Liu Chengze and bring him to justice, but at present, our strength is still too weak, it is very likely that my side will report Liu Chengze's crime to the official, but there is nothing on his side, but my hostility will be exposed...... It is even possible to attract a retaliatory blow from the Liu family! ”

There was a short silence in the study, neither of them said a word, and after a while, Wang Zhiyuan's voice sounded: "Think about the current situation first, Liu Defa asked you to meet, it shouldn't be the initiative to have a showdown with you, otherwise just do things directly against you, and there is no need to ask you to meet, since you have made an appointment, then he still wants to know about your situation in his heart." As for whether to divide or combine, the initiative is still in your own hands...... You have to think about it first, what decision to make tomorrow, how to choose in the face of different answers, I think these are no longer necessary for me to make a decision, with your character and intelligence, you must have already made a plan, right? ”

Wang Zhiyuan patted Cao Yi on the shoulder and said seriously: "Anyway, no matter what decision you make in the end, we will firmly support you behind your back!" ”

Cao Yi looked at Wang Zhiyuan, nodded, and let out an "um" sound! Then the two stopped talking, and talked a little about the preparation of Yangzhou Zuixianlou, as well as the specific situation about Jiangning Zuixianlou and Taibai's secret side sent by Jiangning, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

……

At the beginning of noon the next day, Cao Yi took advantage of the carriage of the Zhizhou Mansion and took Gongye Yuanzhou and four other guards to the place of the appointment written on the invitation card - Mingyu Building.

Mingyulou is the same as Huamanlou, also ranks among the six green buildings in Yangzhou, and its popular brand Xin Niyi is one of the six major Oiran that is famous all over Yangzhou, and is praised as "Yangzhou Six Arts" with unparalleled guzheng skills.

Cao Yi and the others got out of the carriage and looked at the Mingyu Tower, which was a huge complex of golden and jade buildings in front of them, and couldn't help but think in their hearts that they didn't know if they could meet this famous Oiran in advance today, and the day when they asked Yusuo to come forward to invite them was still three days later.

But today's luncheon, with the identity and fame of Liu Defa, the richest man in Yangzhou, it stands to reason that when guests are invited to a banquet in Mingyu Tower, there will be an Oiran to accompany them.

Cao Yi shook his head, laughing at himself that he had already come to this point, and he still had the leisure to think about the Oiran, so it was better to gather his mind and deal with Liu Defa first.
