People who have ghosts in their hearts will always have trouble sleeping at night, especially after an accident, so many people can't sleep all night tonight. Cao Wei didn't have a ghost in his heart, he blew out the lamp and pulled out the wax early after dinner, and slept very sweetly.

"My lord, a guest is coming!"

When there was a knock on the door, Cao Wei buried his head in the quilt and muttered: "No, the disturbing dreams of the big night are really lacking in virtue!" Don't know that poor sleep can wrinkle your skin? Not only that, but it will also have enlarged pores and blackheads, reducing the appearance. Channing, you go and get the visitor away, so that he can come back tomorrow. ”

"My lord, the person who came is Zhou Shuo, the prefect of Xuanfu, and he said that there is something important to report......"

With a "creak", the door was opened, Cao Wei looked at Qian Ning with a strange expression, and said, "It's so late, Zhou Shuo came to find this official, wouldn't he come to talk about life with this official?" ”

Qian Ning smiled bitterly: "My lord, my subordinates don't know, but Governor Zhou seems to be in a hurry." ”

Cao Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go, go and see him, I don't know if this prefect brought poisonous chicken soup or a small surprise late at night......"

Zhou Shuo sat anxiously in the front hall, the hot tea on the table didn't move, and when he saw Cao Wei coming out of the inner courtyard, he hurriedly leaned down and bowed: "The prefect of the Xuanfu Mansion has seen Lord Qincha!" ”

This is very elaborate and very informative. Cao Wei didn't step forward to help him up, but sat on the upper seat and slowly took a sip of hot tea. Zhou Shuo seemed to be even more frightened when he saw Qin Cha's reaction, his body trembled slightly, the weather was slightly cold, but fine sweat kept breaking on his forehead.

After a while, Cao Weicai seemed to have just seen Zhou Shuo kneeling on the ground, and said in surprise: "Governor Zhou, what are you doing?" This official can't afford to kneel down with you, if this is transmitted back to the Beijing Division, the princes of the court and the central government will still think that this official is oppressing the place, ha! ”

Zhou Shuo smiled bitterly: "My lord, the criminal minister was not sent by Zhang Jincheng to test the adult, the criminal minister came to ask the adult for a way to live!" ”

Cao Wei squinted his eyes and said, "Lord Zhou, how can you say this?" ”

"Lord Cao, Zhou knows what you are doing when you come to Xuanfu this time, it is nothing more than discussing the affairs of Fang City with Tatar, as well as ...... Investigate the Xuanfu officials! ”

Although Zhou Shuo's words were light, there was a sense of affirmation. Cao Wei said lightly: "I don't know why Lord Zhou taught me?" ”

"My lord, Zhang Jincheng has almost hollowed out the Xuanfu over the years, he has used his power to sell ordnance and armor privately, deduct military salaries, and eradicate dissidents.

Zhang Jincheng thought that he could suppress it all the time, but if it was suppressed for a long time, it would eventually cause turmoil, and no one would be able to cover it up at that time...... My lord, the Xuanfu is now in tatters and in danger! ”

The more oppressive, the more resistant, this is a wise saying hundreds of years later, and it is also applicable in all dynasties. Cao Wei knew that what Zhou Shuo said was right, when Zhang Jincheng couldn't suppress it, the pass here would be chaotic, and if the Tatars took advantage of the fire to rob and drive straight into Xuanfu, the Jingshi would also be in danger.

"Lord Zhou, you honestly tell this official, what role do you play in Zhang Jincheng?"

Zhou Shuo said bitterly: "When the villain first came to Xuanfu to take office, Zhang Jincheng treated the villain very well, not only often invited the villain to drink, but also kept sending gold and silver to the villain's mansion, and the villain didn't control his hands, so in the end, he fell deeper and deeper......

In fact, the villain is just an outcast in Zhang Jincheng's eyes, if something happens, he will push the villain out to take the blame, and he is at most a crime of negligence. Even if nothing happens, he won't give the villain a way to live, because the villain knows too much about him, and only when the villain dies can he feel at ease. ”

Sometimes, the more you know, the faster you die; Sometimes, I know so little that I don't even know how to die. Obviously, Zhou Shuo belongs to the former, he has been playing with Zhang Jincheng for too long and knows too many little secrets.

Once Zhou Shuo is transferred to another place, Zhang Jincheng will inevitably have trouble sleeping, his mind is full of Zhou Shuo's figure, and he can't even lift his spirits to do embarrassing things, so he will definitely send someone to kill Zhou Shuo and make life happy again.

Cao Wei didn't speak, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, Zhou Shuo felt as if it was beating on his heart, he knew whether he could live or not, it depended on whether the young man in front of him was willing to open the net.

"How did you guess the intention of this official to come to the Xuanfu?"

When Zhou Shuo heard Cao Wei's question, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "My lord, you accepted Zhang Jincheng's silver, the villain was originally the same as Zhang Jincheng, and he also thought that you were a greedy person, and you could only do things with Zhang Jincheng in the future."

But tonight, the villain got the news that Shen Xiaoqun led the Jinyi guard to detain Zhang Jincheng's goods, and the villain woke up at that time that Shen Xiaoqun was just a thousand households, and if there was no honor guard, how could he dare to stroke the tiger's beard. So the villain guessed that he had a backer behind him, and this backer was you, and you never planned to let go of Zhang Jincheng.

The villain will come to you as soon as he guesses this, because this may be the villain's last chance to survive! ”

Cao Wei laughed, stood up and walked in front of him, and said, "Can you guess, Zhang Jincheng may also be able to guess, why did Master Zhou teach me?" ”

Zhou Shuo was overjoyed, since Qin Cha asked himself like this, it meant that his life was saved.

"My lord, this Xuanfu is full of Zhang Jincheng's cronies, we must not act rashly, we need to subdue Zhang Jincheng first, so that his forces are leaderless, so that we can rectify the rest of the Xuanfu.

Tomorrow, the villain said to Zhang Jincheng...... Said that Lord Qincha is from an unknown source, and you still need to test it again, Zhang Jincheng will inevitably set up a banquet in Xuanhe Building to invite you to go, and then the adults only need to arrange one or two, you can take down Zhang Jincheng, and the big thing can be done! ”

Zhou Shuo said it lightly, but Cao Wei was a little weak-hearted, because he didn't have many people in the Xuan Mansion, and he was very worried that Zhang Jincheng would arrange it in advance, as long as he smashed a cup on top of the banquet, five hundred knife and axe men would immediately break in and chop him into meat puree.

Zhou Shuo seemed to see Cao Wei's concerns, and said with a smile: "My lord, you are a Qincha, representing the saint, as long as Zhang Jincheng is not sure of your intentions, he will not attack you!" ”

Cao Wei nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what you say!" Governor Zhou, after Zhang Jincheng is ambushed, you will tell the old man to return to his hometown, and the official will give you a decent look. ”

Zhang Jincheng perked up and kowtowed: "Thank you for your life!" The villain can't stay here too long, lest people notice it, and the villain will take his leave first! ”

After Zhou Shuo left, Cao Wei picked up the teacup again and drank it slowly, and when he saw Qian Ning's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he smiled: "Do you have something to say?" ”

Qian Ning nodded and said, "My lord......"

"Hold on! No matter what you say, hold it in your heart, this official will suffocate you! In the middle of the night, I served two cups of strong tea to the official, so that the official didn't feel sleepy at all, and I deserved to suffocate you! ”

Qian Ning snorted twice and said, "My lord, Shen Xiaoqun sent someone to intercept a box of gold, silver and jewelry tonight, and asked you how to deal with it?" ”

Cao Wei glanced at him and said, "Yes, your subordinates are very spiritual, and this official likes to hear this." You asked him to move the box of gold and silver to Qinchaxing, that is the evidence of Zhang Jincheng's crime, and the official must take care of it personally! ”
