The light blue rune paper, the bright green handwriting that emitted a ghostly light, and the small spirit rune twisted between Cheng Haofeng's fingers for a long time, but it still didn't go out.

After receiving Qiao Chushi's invitation to participate in the investigation of the spirit talisman of Gao Youquan's crime, he quickly replied: Since the investigation has been pursued and the case is waiting to be closed, people who are displaced outside the country have no right to participate.

After writing it, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, why did he call himself a "wanderer"? Is it deep down that the French Dynasty is the homeland? Even though he has become the "Unbounded Lord", he still has no sense of belonging to the black ball.

His heart was uneven, and his eyes were still unwavering, and he waved his hand to turn the spirit rune he had written into smoke, and wrote another one and sent it out.

This one only wrote: No intention of fighting.

Although it was only four words, his meaning was very clear, and he didn't want to stir up the battle with the French Dynasty anymore, Qiao Chushi sighed heavily after receiving it.

Cheng Haofeng did not have a direct conflict with Gao Youquan back then, but he was familiar with various previous files, and he also expected that Gao Youquan would control the government and made some arrangements, and with his help, he could find out the evidence of Gao Youquan's crime as soon as possible.

This refusal to help is also reasonable, but Qiao Chushi is unwilling to give up. has suffered a lot, many people have paid the price of blood, and when they come to this point, only by bringing down Gao Youquan can they be worthy of those people!

Qiao Chushi thought about it, and sent another spirit talisman to Cheng Haofeng, but did not persuade him, only invited him to participate in Cao Songlou's funeral.

Cao Songlou is loyal and upright, the blood of the Golden Palace came out, many people spontaneously went to worship him, colleagues pooled money for him to hold a funeral in the capital, Cheng Haofeng revered his character, thanked him for helping himself, and agreed to participate in Cao Songlou's funeral.

Before leaving, he talked with Long Xiaofeng for a long time, and then instructed Ye Guanying and them a lot, and then took Sun Huairang to the capital.

When he arrived at Deqizhen Palace, the guests had dispersed, and the funeral was completed, because Han Zexi did not want to see the people worshipping Cao Songlou in an endless stream, which seemed that he was a faint monarch who forced his loyal ministers to death.

The mourning hall in the backyard has not been removed, and the coffin is parked and Cao Beidao is waiting for Cao Beidao to send his brother back to Wanzhou for burial. At this time, Cao Songlou's wife and daughter had already understood that he divorced his wife for fear of implicating their mother and daughter, his wife was preparing the grave at home, and the daughter came to the capital to welcome her father's body home.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the little road boy who led the way was about to pass Cheng Haofeng and they arrived, but they heard a noise inside, and they looked at each other suspiciously.

"Qingcheng, Hugh is messing around! The assassination is not only a matter of you going to die, but also disrupts our plans! Cao Beidao scolded loudly.

Across from him, a girl of about seventeen years old looked at him with tears in her eyes, sad and stubborn.

Cheng Haofeng glanced at Xiao Daotong, and Xiao Daotong told Cheng Haofeng in a low voice: "That girl is the daughter of Lord Cao, who came to pick up her father and return to her hometown, but she has been very dissatisfied with some things since yesterday, alas, ......"

Hearing this, Cheng Haofeng already understood the situation in front of him, Cao Songlou's daughter Cao Qingcheng must have seen that there was no progress in the case, and she wanted to be reckless and assassinate, so she waved her hand to stop Xiao Daotong from talking and asked him to retreat first.

Subsequently, Cheng Haofeng said loudly: "Qing Ruizi Cheng Haofeng came to worship Lord Cao!" ”

After signing up, he took Sun Huairang into the door, and when he saw them coming, the uncle and nephew of the Cao family stopped arguing.

After saluting, Cheng Haofeng asked Sun Huairang to visit Qiao Chushi first, and he wanted to stay and talk to Cao Beidao about some serious things.

Cao Beidao led Cheng Haofeng to the study to talk about things, and as soon as he came out of the mourning hall, he only heard Cao Qingcheng snorting coldly behind them.

They turned their heads together, and Cao Qingcheng squinted at them and said, "The former national teacher, the current national teacher, one is a selfish ghost, and the other is a drill camp villain!" ”

"Qingcheng, no nonsense!" Cao Beidao snorted coldly, and taught her again, "I think you have been unreasonable many times because of your grief and anger at the loss of your father, and I didn't punish you." But it doesn't matter how you mess with me, we are a family, scolding Cheng like this. Real people definitely can't! ”

Cao Qingcheng glanced at his uncle, walked to Cheng Haofeng's side, and looked at him carefully.

After looking at it, he said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "There are a lot of messes in the governance of the French Dynasty, and you are picking on it, isn't it very selfish?" Turning your back on your teacher and betraying the country, all for the sake of a woman, are you worth it? ”

Cheng Haofeng also looked at her at the same time, this girl should usually be beautiful and quiet, and her gestures are in line with everyone's beautiful demeanor, but her eyes are red and swollen because she tears too much, and she looks very haggard; And because of the indignation in his heart, he spoke with thorns, and lost the gentleness he should have.

"I'm selfish, you can't help me if you can't get used to it. I'm not worth it, that's my business, it's none of your business. Cheng Haofeng's eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Cao Qingcheng seemed to be choked, and only retorted after a while: "I can't do anything to you, but I will let the world see your true colors!" It's not that you can't kill Gao Youquan, but you don't want to kill! Together, you two will be able to defeat him! But you deliberately complicate things, saying that you are doing things according to the law, but in fact, you don't want to offend the emperor, you just want to make more profits! You only think about your interests, and you don't want to assassinate Gao Youquan and wander the rivers and lakes! ”

Cao Beidao couldn't say anything to refute, he almost thought like that, because if no evidence was found, the emperor would always trust Gao Youquan, not to mention that the assassination might fail, even if it succeeded, the emperor would be angry with the assassin, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the court.

Cheng Haofeng didn't think so, but he didn't defend himself, and walked slowly to a pine tree with his hands in his hands, and looked at the green pine leaves and white remnants of snow on the branches.

They didn't get angry because they were scolded, and Cao Qingcheng said in a more intense tone: "My father is stupid, it's really stupid!" Abandoning your wife and daughter and giving your life has become a stepping stone for you to climb up! What's the use of a big funeral? It's useful to kill Gao Youquan! ”

"Are you using the method of agitation to provoke us to kill Gao Youquan?" Cheng Haofeng answered lightly, "You see that the case has not progressed for a long time, and I am afraid that in the end, there will be thunder and rain in the end, and you want to assassinate him?" I came, and I found that I and your uncle joined forces to assassinate us, and deliberately provoked us to go? ”

was told that her intentions were broken, Cao Qingcheng admitted that she wanted them to assassinate, but they didn't agree to go, she angrily pointed at their noses and shouted: "Fake Taoism!" Hypocrite! ”

"It's not what you want to do, just do it, impulsive, naïve ......" Cao Beidao glared at his niece, but she didn't pay attention to it at all, just crying.

"Give me peace!" Cheng Haofeng's voice mixed with aura came out, which shocked them to stop making noise, and squinted at Cao Qingcheng and said, "Accompany me for a while, I'll kill Gao Youquan!" ”

What does that mean? Cao Qingcheng opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't speak, he was very puzzled but ashamed to ask, did Cheng Haofeng want her to promise her body before he was willing to help her avenge her father?

The corners of Cheng Haofeng's mouth opened a charming smile, his eyes lingered on her bumpy figure, and he joked: "Although the peach and plum are not as beautiful as peonies, their posture is also moving." I don't like what I owe to others, and I don't like what others owe me, so you can only thank me with this girl's body. ”

She was stared at like a poisonous snake crawling over her body, and she couldn't help but shudder, and looked at Cao Beidao with begging eyes, but her second uncle only spread his hands helplessly.

Cao Beidao secretly ridiculed Cheng Haofeng for being a nasty embryo who took advantage of people's danger, and thought that this niece was stubborn and willful and difficult to discipline, and if she was a favor, she could have a useful relationship network.

Failing to ask for help, Cao Qingcheng grinded his teeth, held back his tears and said loudly: "Okay, I promise!" I'm going to accompany you tonight, but you have to kill Gao Youquan tomorrow! ”

After nightfall, in the small garden of Cao Beidao's private living room in Qizhen Palace, the red light hangs, the red candle is shaking, and the red tent is changed.

After bathing in fragrant flowers, Cao Qingcheng put on new makeup, and walked into the bedroom, with no joy between her eyebrows, only shame.

Cheng Haofeng had already changed out of his robe, wearing a purple and red brocade robe to read a book and wait, waiting for her to enter, hurriedly put down the scroll, pulled her to his side, and closed the door with a wave of aura.

Cao Qingcheng was so nervous that his heart was pounding, but Cheng Haofeng had already sat back in his chair, and said in a flat tone: "Are you still planning to take revenge impulsively?" If you only care about your own emotions, go and wash your face with ice water; If you have calmed down, listen to me talk about how to bring down Gao Youquan. "

"You...... What did you say? Can you repeat what you just said? Cao Qingcheng thought that her ears were hallucinating, and what Cheng Haofeng said was completely different from what she imagined.

Cheng Haofeng said with a straight face: "I need you to do something, do it well, so that Gao Youquan can confess his guilt and subdue the law, are you willing to do it?" ”

"Of course it would be nice to have him punished by the law, but ...... Shall I discuss it with my second uncle first? ”

"Don't tell your second uncle, he has his little abacus, and I can't let him know that I have a plan to deal with Gao Youquan."

Cheng Haofeng didn't want to care about the battle in the court, but he knew that Cao Qingcheng's words were provoking him, or decided to take care of this kind of thing, not for the victory or defeat of the battle, but for the sake of being worthy of his heart.

Cao Qingcheng listened to his persuasion, and after a moment of silence, he asked him how he would make arrangements.

Cheng Haofeng said that Cha'er is a key witness, and if Cha'er can be persuaded to testify, the investigation will get twice the result with half the effort.

However, Cha'er had a grudge against Cheng Haofeng, a dislike with Cao Beidao, and a stalemate with Han Zexi because of the rebellion, so it was difficult for her to testify against Gao Youquan.

When Cao Qingcheng was crying, Cheng Haofeng thought of a clever plan to persuade Cha'er to testify, and used Cao Qingcheng to break through Cha'er's inner defense.

Since he decided to manage it, he had to get things done, and while Cheng Haofeng set up this plan, he was also ready to use a dark line.

He had planted an undercover agent under Gao Youquan before, but then things became more and more complicated, and Cheng Haofeng decided not to use this dark line and let the man leave on his own. But that person was a loyal and serious person, and he continued to lurk and contacted Gu Sizhe instead.

With Cha'er as a witness, and this dark line to provide evidence, Cheng Haofeng believes that Gao Youquan can be brought to justice.

Cheng Haofeng asked Cao Qingcheng to consider whether to persuade Cha'er, and she quickly replied that she was willing to go.

"Cha'er is wanted now, it is Gao Youquan who harbors her, after seeing her, it is likely to alarm Gao Youquan, it is dangerous for you to do this, think about it, are you really willing to go?"

"Yes! You're sure you'll tell me about this plan, right? It's more reliable than me going to assassinate Gao, of course I do. ”

Cheng Haofeng nodded approvingly, pointed to the bed, and asked her to rest quickly and recuperate her spirits, there are still many things to do.

looked at the mandarin duck brocade quilt, Cao Qingcheng wrung his fingers, and refused to go to bed.
