Chapter 169: Cao Wenbing bets on both sides

Cao Wenbing is writing a big character with a wave, although it is not to the realm of masters, but it also has a lot of momentum in it. Besides, with his status and power today, even if the handwriting is unsightly, there are people who tend to follow the flames. After writing, he looked at the words in front of him, "Thousands of sails on the side of the sinking boat, ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree", the more he looked at it, the more it was not a taste, and his brows couldn't help but show a trace of sadness. Others only saw that he was extremely powerful, but they did not see that his current situation was surrounded by cliffs. Looking back at the past commanders of the spy department, few were able to protect the leader. As the favorite of the Son of Heaven, he knows too many royal secrets, and he has done too many tricks. Once the country changes hands, the fastest to be eliminated is always the people from the Espionage Department. Even if other civil and military generals will not be reused, or even be suspicious, at most they will stand aside, and their lives are rarely in danger. In the final analysis, he is a dog of Emperor Jianping. Thinking of his own back road, and then thinking of the person who had been stranded in the capital, jumping up and down, he couldn't help but move in his heart.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the "knock knock" study, and Cao Wenbing, who was thinking a lot, was startled. He shouted angrily, "Who knocked?" ”

"Master, the concubine is Hongling. Didn't you say that you would stay in the concubine's room tonight, it had been dark for a while. The concubine came over to see if you had been hooked by a vixen again. Hee-hee-hee-hee...... "There was a coquettish and soft voice outside the study, which was very tempting.

Cao Wenbing heard that there was Xinna's concubine outside the door a few days ago, and his heart was hot, and his anger dissipated immediately. He shook his head and threw the idea out of his mind, and said with a smile: "Hongling, master, I'll go over here, you go wash first." ”

"Master, the slave family has been washed!"

Cao Wenbing couldn't bear it, pushed open the door of the study, and took this weak, boneless, and charming Yangzhou thin horse in his arms and took pity on him.

Just as the two of them were dizzy and hot, an inopportune footstep came.

Cao Wenbing scolded: "What dog doesn't have long eyes and dares to disturb the master's good deeds?" I saw the red diamond lying in his arms half-dissolved, his eyes half-squinted, and his cheeks seemed to be coated with rouge, which was extremely attractive.

The family outside the zhang Yu knelt on the ground with a puff and said in a panic: "Master, someone from the palace has come, saying that he has brought the emperor's edict and asked you to go over to receive the decree." ”

Cao Wenbing's mind quickly regained his clarity, and while sorting out his clothes, he wondered what was going on in the palace before the emperor's message came at this time.

"Master, don't, I'll take the order later." Hongling said in a coquettish voice with a red face.

"Hongling will wait in the room, and I'll go back when I go, master." Cao Wenbing said in an unquestioning tone, and then raised his feet and walked hurriedly towards the front yard.

Seeing Cao Wenbing's arrival, Xiao Huangmen nodded slightly and said, "Lord Cao, please retreat, the emperor has an edict." ”

Cao Wenbing will retreat from the left and right, kneel on the ground to listen to the order, and his heart keeps turning up and down. He had a hunch that something terrible would happen next.

"The command of the Espionage Department made Cao Wenbing take care of the crown prince Xia Guoyuan and the prince Xima Liang Wendao on the spot, waiting for inquiries, and there is no room for any mistakes. Chin this! ”

As soon as Xiao Huangmen's voice fell, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Cao Wenbing's face turned pale. He never thought that Xia Ge Lao, who had just entered the court, would fall into such a situation so soon. There was lightning and thunder in my ears, and my mind was buzzing.

"Lord Cao, Lord Cao, still don't receive the decree of thanks?"

Hearing Xiao Huangmen's repeated reminders, Cao Wenbing reacted, and even complied with the order, and his face had already adjusted in a few breaths. He took out five hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it over, and asked kindly, "Be careful, bring it to your father-in-law for tea." ”

Xiao Huangmen smiled, and said continuously: "Thank you for your reward!" He then reciprocated and said, "Lord Cao, this time the Lord is extremely angry, you have to do the errand more beautifully." ”

"Do you know why the emperor is so angry?" Cao Wenbing took a sip of tea, pretended to be casual and asked.

"Master Cao, there aren't many slaves who know." Xiao Huangmen replied cautiously, he secretly glanced at Cao Wenbing's face turned cloudy, and thought that this plague god could not be provoked, so he hurriedly said: "The slave heard that today's prince washed the horse and sued the old professor Xia Ge for inappropriate content. The emperor was furious when he saw the folding, so he ordered the adults. ”

"Well, there you go. If there is anything to keep in mind in the future, this official will not treat you badly. ”

"Master Xie cultivates!" Xiao Huangmen left with a smile on his face.

Cao Wenbing sat down and thought for a while, carefully analyzed the problems that might arise, and then ordered the left and right to take people to pick up people with him.

A quarter of an hour later, the Prince's Mansion and the Prince's Horse Washing Mansion were fenced off. Cao Wenbing walked into the Prince's Mansion under everyone's use, and said to Xia Guoyuan, who was standing with his back to him: "Taishi, the lower officials are also acting on orders. If you offend, please also invite Taishi Haihan! ”

"Oh? Can Commander Cao make the old man understand? Xia Guoyuan turned around and asked calmly.

"Taishi, the emperor ordered the lower officials to guard you at any time, and there is no room for mistakes. Please also ask the Taishi not to make it difficult for the lower officials. Cao Wenbing arched his hand in the direction of the palace, indicating that it was the emperor's meaning.

"If the old man wants to meet the emperor, can he succeed?"

Cao Wenbing said with some hesitation after hearing this: "This, well, if the Taishi wants to meet the emperor, the lower officials will do it on his behalf." I believe that the respect of the etheric master will definitely be summoned by the emperor. ”

"Well, don't lock it now, right? If not, the old man is ready to rest. I'm old and can't stay up late. Xia Guoyuan was still unsurprised, and it seemed that he had just experienced an after-dinner chat.

"Whatever the master says, you are free. The lower officials will be with you for about twelve hours, and you can summon them at any time if you have something. He made a look to keep his cronies away before he whispered and said quickly: "Taishi, the prince washed the horse and falsely accused you of teaching the prince inappropriate content, and the emperor was furious. Please also ask the master to prepare early. After speaking, he didn't wait for Xia Guoyuan to answer, and turned to leave.

Xia Guoyuan's face was a little gloomy when he heard this, and he stood in place for a while before turning around and entering the bedroom, unable to sleep for a long time.

The crown prince Xima Liang Wendao saw the captain of the brocade clothes breaking into the door, unhurriedly tidied up his clothes, and tidied up the official clothes he had taken off. He saw the servant panicked and shouted, "There is no need to panic, this matter has nothing to do with you." Then he stretched out his hand and said to the hundred households leading the team: "Come on, don't hurt my family's widows and orphans." The emperor will not affect the family. ”

I had never seen anyone so calm in this situation, and Baihu was stunned for a moment before saying: "Lord Liang, the emperor asked us to be detained on the spot, but there is no need to go to prison." ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Liang Wendao was still as calm as he had just now.
