Chapter 165: The Role of the Ruffian

Privacy was discussed, as if she was not wearing clothes, Cao Ming's hand involuntarily raised, and stepped forward to give Yuan Shang a slap.

Yuan Shang's eyes were fanned: "Niangniang, why did you suddenly hit me, did I do something wrong?" ”

"Disgusting!" Cao Ming glared at Yuan Shang fiercely, thinking that such a scumbag, he really wanted to kill him with a knife.

Yuan Shao said with a straight face: "Niangniang's lesson is right, such vulgar words, you actually said it in front of everyone, it is really a shame for your father." ”

Yuan Shao hated that iron could not become steel, how could this kid be a fool today, and he even dragged himself into the water.

The conversation between Zhao Yun and Yuan Shao ended quickly, and judging from the expressions of both parties, the conversation must have failed.

In the courtyard, Cao Ming faced Zhao Yun, who kept spinning in circles, and showed a very impatient look.

"Don't wander around." Cao Ming thinks that she has good endurance, but now she is about to collapse, and even a little dizzy.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "I was really told by my mother, Yuan Shao didn't look down on my father-in-law at all, and even if he came here, he would do nothing." ”

Cao Ming was not surprised: "Yuan Shao only has himself in his eyes, otherwise he would have laid down half of the country a long time ago." ”

"The little girl is really accurate in seeing the problem." Zhao Yun saw that there was no one around, so he deliberately made a joke.

Cao Ming said unconvinced: "Who do you say is the little girl, didn't she be born a little earlier than me, and she pretended to be an elder." ”

The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth raised: "Don't give up, when I went to the battlefield, you probably still coquetted with your mother." ”

"My mother is gone." Cao Ming's eyes were red, if time still permitted, she really wanted to hug Chai Yu again.

Zhao Yun hurriedly apologized and said, "Niangniang, I really didn't mean to say this, I thought your mother was alive." ”

Cao Ming shook his head and said, "It's okay, I've thought about it for many years." ”

"Doesn't the mother have any children?" Zhao Yun remembered that Cao Ming was already married and would definitely have children.

Cao Ming replied: "Children are the crystallization of their lovers, but the person I marry is not the love of my heart, so let alone have children." ”

Zhao Yun continued: "Although I don't know what is going on in the palace, I can see that Niangniang doesn't like the emperor. ”

"You're amazing." Cao Ming really didn't see that Zhao Yun had this kind of ability, could it be that the other party was lying and deceiving people.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "My insiders always mention my name when they talk to the neighbors on weekdays, but Niangniang never says a word of sainthood. ”

"A kid younger than me, what do you mention him for?" Cao Ming's heart is very envious of Zhao Yun, not only has a gentle and virtuous wife, but also a smart and lovely child.

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "If the mother is fine, I will go to rest first, and I will have a fierce battle tomorrow." ”

"I was disturbed by you, and I forgot to get down to business." Cao Ming originally wanted to talk about something after leaving the city, but there was something else to do today, so he had to think of a way now.

In the Yecheng Bazaar, five ruffians armed with wooden sticks collect protection money from the poor traders as usual.

A vegetable vendor pleaded: "Kind uncles, the little one has paid the protection fee before, can you charge less, I still have several mouths to feed at home." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, take it out quickly, and make sure you're okay." The ruffians showed impatient looks, as if they were about to hit someone in the next second.

The surrounding vendors wanted to go over and help, but they were afraid that they would really provoke the ruffians, and then the market would not want to stop.

Seeing that no one was willing to help, the peddler had no choice but to take the money, but what was unexpected was that ten armor soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded the two ruffians.

The ruffians panicked instantly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are just playing, and we haven't done anything bad." ”

He drew half of his sword and said, "If anyone wants to see your head, just follow us honestly, or someone will die in the bazaar." ”

"I am!" A dark-skinned man came out of the middle of the ruffian, with a visible scar on his face, presumably from a previous fight.

A quarter of an hour later, the leader of the ruffians was brought into the post by the armor soldiers, and there were a large number of guards at the gate, and it was impossible to escape.

"Mother, the person you want has brought it." The armor soldier saluted Cao Ming, who was sitting on the chair, and then motioned for the two ruffians to take two steps forward.

"I've seen adults, but small ones have offended, please tell me clearly!" The ruffian leader has never seen the world, so he can only use hearsay routines to please the woman in front of him.

"What's your name?" Cao Ming behaved very naturally, not at all like the trouble of finding a ruffian leader.

The ruffian leader bent down and said, "Your Excellency can call me the Black Knife, this is my title." ”

Cao Ming took a sip of tea and said, "Black Knife, I came to you to discuss business, and the price is one hundred taels of gold." ”

Although Black Knife is a ruffian, he also knows that money is not easy to earn: "Presumably, the adult's business must be difficult." ”

Cao Ming nodded and said, "I need you to call the other ruffians and make trouble tomorrow, and the location must be at the four city gates." ”

"It's a head-off thing." The black knife wiped the cold sweat from his head, everyone knew the consequences of the trouble, and he was put in prison at best, and he was killed by the army on the spot.

Cao Ming said coldly: "I'm not bargaining with you, I can send someone to find you, and then I can let people go to your family again, and even slaughter all the ruffians overnight." ”

"Good! I should do it, and I hope that the adults will talk and count. Black Knife knew that he was not Cao Ming's opponent, so he could only choose to compromise with her.

Cao Ming thought for a while and said, "I'll be more specific, when the time comes, prepare more torches, set fire and smash them in front of the various city gates, and lure the armor guards of the city over." ”

"I will do it!" The black knife trembled when he heard it, which was tantamount to making him provoke the government, and it seemed that the identity of the woman in front of him was not ordinary.

Cao Ming gave the black knife another reassurance: "The gold will be given to you first, but if the news leaks, or your people don't appear, I will definitely not let you go." ”

"Don't worry, absolutely not." The black knife really couldn't guess Cao Ming, seeing that she was also like a person from the government, why did she let herself do this.

"Let's go back and prepare!" After Cao Ming played the most critical move, her nervous heart finally calmed down.

As soon as the black knife took two steps out of the door, he slipped and fell to the ground, but Cao Ming's task was too scary, and he was simply walking on the tip of the knife.

"Niangniang, can these people be trusted?" Shi Chang was a little worried, after all, the other party was a ruffian and could do anything.

Cao Ming sighed and said, "I hope they can show up on time, if it weren't for the fact that we have too few people on hand, how could it be their turn." ”

Shi Chang arched his hands and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, no matter what the result is, we will protect you out of the city." ”

Cao Ming added: "By the way, let's prepare some people's clothes, which we can use after we leave the city." (To be continued.) )
