Coming out of Jiang Quan's residence, Li Yanqing took a few people to a nearby snack bar, everyone ordered a table to eat, and they all bowed their heads and ate silently.

He probably already knows the ins and outs of this matter, and he also understands the key to this matter, Tong Guan framed Chong Lin for his own selfishness, although it is an unforgivable crime, but who is the person who stabbed the knife in the back, this is also another culprit in this case.

The officials privately guessed that it was Yin Wang Ding of Kaifeng Mansion, and Li Yanqing also believed that the insider's guess was actually more accurate, it was said that this Wang Ding was Liang Shicheng's person, if so, then Liang Shicheng was the real murderer who killed Chong Lin, which is also in line with Liang Shicheng's sinister character.

But this kind of thing can't be guessed, he has to get definite evidence.

At night, Li Yanqing came to Cao's house alone, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he met Cao Sheng coming out of the mansion.

"Yanqing!" Cao Sheng was taken aback, "You.... What are you doing here? ”

"I'm going to Beijing to do some errands, is my grandfather here?"

"He's already asleep, what's the matter with you, I'll see if I can help you."

Cao Sheng is now a concubine, maybe he can really help himself, Li Yanqing nodded, and followed Cao Sheng to a teahouse diagonally opposite.

The two asked for a private room to sit down, and a tea prostitute served them tea, Cao Sheng waved her to retreat, and then asked, "Are you coming to Beijing for the cancellation of the triumphal ceremony?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "It doesn't matter if the ceremony is or not, it's the son of Chong Shuai who was killed, I'll investigate." ”

Cao Sheng was taken aback, "Who is so bold as to dare to kill the son of the Seed Master?" ”

Li Yanqing briefly said the matter of planting Lin, and Cao Sheng sneered, "Don't go to find your grandfather, I know Wang Ding's background very well, he is indeed Liang Shicheng's henchman, and he is the number one confidant, this kind of thing happened in Kaifeng Mansion, it is impossible for him not to report it to Liang Shicheng." ”

Li Yanqing pondered and said, "Is it possible that someone else did it, such as Gao Yu, Cai Jing or Wang Hao?" ”

Cao Sheng has been a lieutenant for two years, and he is appointed to serve in the four-grade Fuwen Pavilion, and he knows all kinds of relationships in the imperial court, which is also one of the basic skills of being an official in the court, Li Yanqing has not been in the court for a long time, and he is still lacking in this regard.

Although Li Yanqing's question seems relatively naïve, he is the most important grandson-in-law of the old man of the Cao family, Cao Sheng felt that he needed to guide him, so he smiled slightly: "At the beginning of the Fan Dang case, Liang Shicheng's condition for turning to support Wang Hao was to Kaifeng Mansion Yin, after Wang Ding became the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Huang's forces completely withdrew from Kaifeng Mansion, as for Gao Yu, his one acre and three points of land is in the forbidden army, and he can't get enough of Kaifeng Mansion, if you still doubt Cai Jing, then it is even more unnecessary." ”

"Why?" Li Yanqing asked puzzled.

Cao Sheng took a leisurely sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Do you know why Cai Jing was able to serve as the prime minister for the fourth time?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, he really didn't know, although he subscribed to the tabloid at that time and knew about Cai Jing's comeback, the reason for his comeback was not mentioned in the tabloid, so he didn't know much about the details of Cai Jing's comeback.

Cao Sheng pretended to look at both sides mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "It's because of the fiasco of the First Northern Expedition, and the official family wants to mention the Second Northern Expedition, but there are too many objections, and the official family has to reactivate Cai Jing Town, so Cai Jing has another nickname behind his back, called Cai Yu, a fish that cooks." ”

Li Yanqing couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but he still didn't understand a little, and asked with a smile: "Why is it called Cai Yu?" ”

"This is a homonym, in fact, the real meaning is Cai Yu, the spittoon of the bowl."

Li Yanqing immediately laughed, but as soon as he finished laughing, he suddenly came to his senses, "What Uncle Xiaoliu means is that this Cai Jing is just a temporary official to take out the town." ”

"You're right, my emperor lady also told me this in person, we all know, how can Cai Jing not know, if he wants to do it for a few more years, he can't make a little mistake and be held by the official, so I am sure that the knife behind Tong Guan was definitely not done by Cai Jing, even if he has that ability, he won't do it, it's not worth it."

Li Yanqing nodded silently, Cao Sheng's analysis, he knew that it could only be done by Liang Shicheng, as for the evidence, he didn't want to look for it, even the prison doctor 'committed suicide', where would there be any evidence?

Cao Sheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Come home with me!" Yun Niang misses you very much, I know that it is not appropriate for you to show up in the capital now, but it should not be a big problem to meet your mother. ”

Li Yanqing was taken aback, "My lady is in Cao Mansion?" ”

"So what do you think? Her mother wanted her daughter, so she brought her here, and she just came back yesterday. ”

Thinking that his wife was less than a hundred steps away from him, Li Yanqing's heart suddenly warmed, anyway, he told the planter that he would go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and it would not be too late to go back early tomorrow morning.

Cao Yun didn't expect her husband to come back at this time, but she was steady and introverted, when her parents were beside her, she just looked at her husband affectionately, and didn't show too much passion, until the couple entered the room in the evening, Cao Yun hugged her husband's waist violently, and cried on his chest.

Li Yanqing gently stroked his wife's hair and said with a smile: "I'm about to become a mother, and I'm still aggrieved like a little lady." ”

Cao Yun's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly held her husband's hand and touched her stomach, "Look at the child, he knows that you are back and are kicking me in the stomach!" ”

Li Yanqing squatted down, pulled up his wife's small clothes, put his ear on his wife's warm and white lower abdomen, and quietly listened to the movement inside, and for a moment, a smile bloomed on his face.

Cao Yun gently stroked her husband's thick neck, and at this moment she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

But just then, the door slammed! A sound was knocked away, and a small figure rushed in, "Big Scholar! ”

The person who rushed in was Cao Jiaojiao, followed by Cao Yun's personal little maid, she didn't hold Jiaojiao, and she looked unhappy.

"You ..... What are you doing? Cao Jiaojiao covered her mouth violently and her eyes widened.

Cao Yun's face was flushed suddenly, and she hurriedly put down her little clothes, she glared at her sister dissatisfied, "What are you doing in a hurry, this dead girl?" ”

"Oh! I'm sorry. ”

Cao Jiaojiao lowered her head embarrassedly, she already understood that her brother-in-law was listening to the little guy's movements! She also listened to it last night on the stomach of the big scholar.

Li Yanqing stood up and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Li Yanqing hasn't seen Cao Jiaojiao since he married Cao Yun, it's been two years, except for growing taller, Li Yanqing feels that Cao Jiaojiao hasn't grown up much? It's still the same as before, naughty and mischievous character.

He calculated in his heart, and couldn't help but smile, Cao Jiaojiao was only eight years old, a second-grade girl in primary school, how old could he expect her to grow?

Cao Jiaojiao was because she hadn't seen Li Yanqing for two years, and suddenly heard that her brother-in-law was coming, and she was excited, so she rushed in regardless of it, but found that her brother-in-law was listening to the fetal sound, her face was red, and she didn't know what to say.

Li Yanqing laughed, this little girl was as interesting as before.

Cao Yun smiled on the side: "She misses you anymore, and she expects you to take her to buy bird food all day long." ”

"Bird food?" Li Yanqing was stunned, "She doesn't have cats anymore?" ”

"Grandfather did not allow her to raise, she raised too many cats, all day long hiding in the Caofu flowers ghost crying wolf howl, grandfather really couldn't bear it, so let people drive all the cats away, this little lady hid in the bed and cried for three days, grandfather was sorry, he gave her ten taels of silver, originally acquiesced to her to buy a cat again, but she bought more than a dozen birds back, and since then she has started raising birds."

Li Yanqing laughed, "Okay! When I have time, I accompany her to buy bird food. ”

"Is she trying to knock you off?"

"It's okay to knock by chance!"

Cao Yun saw that her husband loved her sister, and she was overjoyed, and she was unconsciously moved, hugging his neck and whispering: "I want you to sleep with someone in your arms tonight!" ”

Li Yanqing glanced at his wife's big belly in embarrassment, and muttered, "How can you hug this?" ”

"I don't care!" Cao Yun said coquettishly: "You sleep with me in your arms from behind!" ”

This night, Cao Yun slept very sweetly in her husband's arms, but Li Yanqing almost didn't sleep all night, he has been thinking about the matter of the planting master, the planting master treats himself well, this time he regarded it as his own seed Lin was killed, with the fiery character of the planting master, he will definitely hit his head and bleed, and in the end, the enemy can't move a finger, leaving no resentment.

I have to persuade him well, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, you can't rush this time......

Li Yanqing was cranky, and it wasn't until the fifth watch that he fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, Cao Yun took the Cao family's carriage back to her home, which is also what her husband meant, although her mother's family is good, don't snub Sisi and Qing'er.

After Li Yanqing finished breakfast in Cao's mansion, he came to the front hall to report the situation of the Northern Expedition to the old man Cao, and he didn't mention the matter of the son of the planter at all, and with Cao Sheng to help him share his worries, there was no need to worry about the old man.

"You're right!" Cao Ping nodded and said: "The wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom died unexpectedly, and the funeral alone will be busy for a year, and the new wolf lord will have to stabilize the overall situation and control the power. ”

But Cao Ping was more concerned about his grandson's next step, and he asked again: "Do you want any position next, do you have any plans?" ”

This is indeed what Li Yanqing wanted to talk to Cao Ping, and he muttered: "I still want to go to the local office, and it is best to go to Taiyuan Mansion." ”

Li Yanqing has carefully considered his future, it will take three or five years for the imperial court to gain a firm foothold, and it will take three or five months at most to grasp the situation in the local area, in the imperial court, the fourth rank is only a petty official, and there are at least hundreds of officials above the fourth rank in the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is real or false, he can be suppressed by his qualifications Li Yanqing, it is almost impossible for him to do something if he wants to, rather than deceive me in the officialdom all day long, it is better to go to the local area to do something practical.

What's more important is that Wanyan Agu died in Yanjing unexpectedly, it is impossible for this Qiu Jin country not to report it, and he must take precautions and make some preparations as soon as possible.

Cao Ping nodded, "Since you have this idea, I'll help you with this matter!" ”
