Tang Yuan was called to see the emperor by the imperial supervisor Huang Gonggong early in the morning, and he did not return until noon. It is estimated that he will stay in the palace to eat, so Meng Tao asked everyone to eat, and there was no need to wait for Tang Yuan. But Xiaomi, who was in charge of kitchen management, left a small table for Tang Yuan alone, and a small plate of various dishes, she said, in case Brother Xiaofeng came back, what would happen if he didn't eat.

The two young girl housekeepers have equal power, and when there was a conflict between them before, the people didn't know who to listen to, but then Meng Tao found out about the problem, so he told everyone, if it involves the warehouse and kitchen of the front three courtyards, if there is a conflict, listen to Xiaomi, and the rest will listen to me.

In this way, the affairs of the Tang family will be completely smoothed out, and the subordinates will not worry about having no ideas.

It seems that Meng Tao's power is higher than Xiaomi, in fact, she will not completely trample Xiaomi under her feet, because she knows in her heart that Xiaomi has a special status in the hearts of Tang Yuan and this family, Tang Yuan has always regarded Xiaomi as his own sister, and Xiaomi's brother Tang Hu is Tang Yuan's right-hand man, and the two families have the same surname, and they are really still close to each other, she has become an outsider in this regard.

Therefore, it is never a wise move to force Xiaomi.

"Sister Meng, there is a person in front of me, saying that he was found by Ji Yifa. That person doesn't look ugly, but seeing him makes people feel uncomfortable, and there is a cold air behind his back, and he said that he wants to see you alone, which we don't think is appropriate. Do you want to bring a few martial arts people over? "There is only one doorman in the Tang family, and he is still a mother-in-law, not a man, and when he talks about the person at the door, he seems to be very afraid.

"I didn't expect Uncle Ji to lie to me." Meng Tao felt a little guilty, because the day before yesterday, all she agreed to take in the daughter of the owner of the Chen family's wine shop was because she wanted to ask about Cao Feihu's whereabouts, and she didn't take what Ji Yifa said seriously. The tree fell and scattered, and Ji Yifa was still affectionate and righteous.

——

A man with a long figure stood in front of the door of the Tang Mansion, wearing a hat and hanging low.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of footsteps, the door opened, and out of the door came a girl in gorgeous clothes.

The man in the hat raised his head, the man's eyes were surprisingly bright, his face was long, and his beard was not very cleanly shaven, showing a slight vicissitudes of life.

"You're Cao Daxia?" Meng Tao was nervous in her heart, and squeezed out a rather bright smile on her face.

"I used to be a killer, and I didn't dare to be a 'hero'." Cao Feihu held the sword in his arms, "I heard that you are looking for me." ”

"It's Brother Tang looking for you, forget it, let's go in and talk."

"Is Tang Yuan at home?"

"I'm going to the palace." Meng Tao explained something and said: "He just came back from Hanzhong, and he heard that you were also in Luoyang, so he looked for you everywhere. ”

"What is he looking for me for?"

The girl smiled, Meng Tao's face had a maturity that did not match her age, "For his wife, for your sister-in-law." ”

Hearing this, Cao Feihu strode into the Tang Mansion.

didn't go too deep, and when he came to the second courtyard, Meng Tao led Cao Feihu to the closed living room, the door of this living room looked extremely heavy, and the lintel said that the living room looked more like a prison.

Meng Tao stood still, turned around and smiled: "Cao Daxia Mo Duoxin, I'll go in first." ”

Cao Feihu was a little hesitant just now, as a Jiupin killer, he had an instinctive resistance to confined spaces, but when he saw Meng Tao go first, he put down the mustard and followed in.

It's really hidden, and when the door is closed, you can't hear what is going on inside the house. Fat cat bar

The space in the house is not very small, and an oil lamp was prepared in advance, Meng Tao lit the oil lamp and closed the door.

As soon as the oil lamp was turned on, the room was still a little hazy, but it was generally clear, a small table on one side, three chairs, and a small reclining cabinet in the corner.

"Say it." Cao Feihu said.

Meng Tao was unhurried, walked to the side of the lying cabinet, lifted the lid and looked at it, reached out and rummaged through it, making a series of silver ingots colliding, and said, "Brother Tang wants to know why you came to Luoyang?" ”

"Is Tang Yuan trying to interrogate me?"

"Of course not." Meng Tao's heart moved, she didn't know if she had a problem with her tone, how could she give Cao Feihu such a feeling, she immediately said softly: "Actually, this is what I want to ask, and Brother Tang just wants to hand over these silver to you." He said, this money is nothing to you, but as Qiao'er's husband, he can't stand idly by. ”

"It's enough for him to have this heart."

"How can it work, please accept this money from Cao Daxia."

Cao Feihu stood up and looked at the silver in the box, "Why did he take the silver out of the killer group?" Shouldn't this be a bounty for finding down the real culprit? ”

Meng Tao said: "Someone asked Brother Tang to withdraw this bounty, otherwise, it will be very unfavorable to Brother Tang." But Brother Tang still wanted to track down the real murderer, and when he heard that Cao Daxia was coming, he gave the money to Cao Daxia. It's not a bounty, it's not a reward, it's a heart. Brother Cao has always been a loner, and Brother Tang means that it is good for you to hire some helpers. ”

"There's no need for that." Cao Fei's fox robe sleeves shook and turned around, "I want to see Tang Yuan." ”

"It's a misfortune that you've come here, he hasn't come back from the palace yet."

"In that case, I'll go back first. In addition, you tell him that in fact, I am very dissatisfied with him, my stepsister has an accident in his house, and he has not taken care of it, and he has not taken care of my sister's son. If he doesn't have time to take care of him, he can hand over the child to me, and I promise to let the child live a chic and free life in the future. Cao Feihu said, pushed open the door, and jumped over the wall.

Seeing that the Jiupin Killer's body was amazingly fast, Meng Tao sighed from the bottom of her heart, she usually felt that the tall courtyard wall was very safe, but in front of Cao Feihu, this wall could be described as "walking on the ground", and it could not play a role in blocking it at all.

The reason why he was willing to wait at the door to enter the Tang Mansion just now was completely to save face for Tang Yuan.

Meng Tao said to herself with some regret: "It's really unfortunate that he came, but at this time, Brother Tang hasn't come back." ”

As she spoke, she turned back to the side of the reclining cabinet and looked down to see that a silver ingot was missing.

In the afternoon, Tang Yuan went home and seemed to be in good spirits, probably because he was in a good mood when he saw the child.

"Brother Tang, Cao Feihu only took one ingot of silver." Meng Tao came to Tang Yuan.

"He's been here?" Tang Yuan hesitated slightly, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "It seems that what Qiao'er said is true, Cao Feihu regards money as dung, but he treats feelings very delicately. A person like him has become a killer, but he has mistaken a good person. ”

"Then what is Brother Tang going to do next?"

"If you can still contact him, tell him to leave Luoyang as soon as possible. And I'm leaving, going back to Hanzhong. ”
