Cao Tie's back was originally extremely seriously injured, but after the tea house guy applied the medicine, the bleeding slowly stopped.

Cao Tie's face turned pale and he lay in the wing.

Seeing this, the guy hurriedly asked, "Lord Cao, what happened?" Who is it that wants to assassinate you? Why is this happening? Do you want me to help you report to the police? ”

Cao Tie relied on his last breath of strength and said, "Don't, don't go." If you want to help me, you can do something for me now, okay? ”

The guy said, "Okay." ”

This guy's name is Wang Xiaoer, and when his mother was sick, he was worried about it. It happened that Cao Tie came to drink tea in the tea house, and when he saw his condition, he asked him what happened. He told Cao Tie about the matter, and it happened that Cao Tie was in a good mood at that time, so he casually gave him a few dozen taels of silver and asked him to take it to his mother to see a doctor.

It was with these dozens of taels of silver that his mother's illness improved. His mother told him: The thousand-year-old record of winning people's favors, and the kindness of receiving people's dripping water should be repaid with springs, so that he will repay Cao Tie in the future no matter what.

What people didn't expect was that today Cao Tie was injured and hid in the tea house, and he rescued Cao Tie by mistake.

Hearing Cao Tie say this, he immediately said respectfully: "Lord Cao, if there is anything I need to do, just tell me, I, Wang Xiaoer, will definitely do it for you even if I throw my head and spill my blood." ”

Cao Tie saw that Wang Xiaoer was just a small tea house guy, and he was so good to himself after receiving his favor of dozens of taels of silver, he was very moved in his heart, and said: "You immediately rush to the outside of the capital twenty miles now, there is a Huaiming Garden twenty miles south of the capital, and the owner of the Huaiming Garden is named Jiang Shaoheng." Now you rush to Huaiming Garden to find Jiang Shaoheng, and say that Cao Tie is seriously injured and is now hiding in the tea house, and needs his help, I believe he will definitely come to help me. ”

When Wang Xiaoer heard Cao Tie say this, he immediately responded: "Yes, I'll go now." Lord Cao, it's very safe for you to hide in this room, don't go anywhere, I'll be back soon. ”

Cao Tie said: "I know, you go and come back quickly." ”

Wang Xiaoer turned around and left.

It turned out that Cao Tie thought that Cao Jixiang was now so powerful in the palace, and if he declared customs, it would undoubtedly be to send sheep into the tiger's mouth. The so-called officials protect each other, and the officials will not buy Cao Jixiang's face, and now the only person in the court who can compete with Cao Jixiang is Jian Huaizhen.

He is now seriously injured, and he wants to tell Wang Xiaoer to do things for himself, it is impossible for Wang Xiaoer to enter the palace to see Jian Huaizhen, and he feels inappropriate and unreliable if he wants to see the people next to him. The only person who can be trusted now is Jiang Shaoheng in Huaiming Yuan, and he knows that Jiang Shaoheng and Jian Huaizhen have a good relationship. As long as he goes to find Jiang Shaoheng by himself, Jiang Shaoheng will definitely stand up for himself. Because he is a favorable witness to Cao Jixiang, presumably Jian Huaizhen is also looking for himself, and Jiang Shaoheng has no reason not to help him.

Although Cao Tie is not smart, he made the right move.

After Wang Xiaoer obeyed his instructions, he really came to Huaiming Garden, twenty miles outside the south of the city, according to what he said.

The servant in Huaiming Yuan was very strange when he saw that Wang Xiaoer was dressed as a small servant, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Wang Xiaoer saw that Huaiming Garden was very delicate and seemed to be the place where big families lived, so he immediately said very respectfully: "It was Lord Cao Tiecao who sent me here to find a person named Jiang Shaoheng. ”

When the servant heard this, he said, "How can Taifu Jiang's name be said casually. ”

Despite this, the servant went in to inform Jiang Shaoheng that there was a person outside who had come to see him, and that person claimed to have been sent by a man named Cao Tiecao.

Jiang Shaoheng knew that Jian Huaizhen was looking for Cao Tie's whereabouts everywhere, Jian Huaizhen thought that Cao Tie had been wiped out, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.

Jiang Shaoheng thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know if it was a plan or Cao Tie asking him for help this time, but no matter what, he was determined to intervene in this matter. If it was true, and Cao Tie didn't go to the rescue, wouldn't that delay Jian Huaizhen's big event?

Thinking of this, he told Fang Xiao and Tang Jingran what had happened.

Fang Yu said, "In that case, let's go together." ”

So, Fang Xiao, Jiang Shaoheng, and Tang Jingran came to the tea house opposite Cao's Mansion under the guidance of Xiao Er.

At this moment, Cao Tie was lying on the bed in the wing, enduring the pain in his heart, and his heart was unsettled. At this moment, he not only hated Cao Jixiang for killing him, but also remembered the old mother at home, wondering if she could survive now after being pierced through the heart by the assassin's sword? Thinking of what his mother had done for him, he couldn't help but feel sad, and the hatred for Cao Jixiang in his heart became deeper and deeper.

Jiang Shaoheng, Fang Xiao and Tang Jingran were guided by Wang Xiaoer, and soon came to the wing room of the tea house.

When they saw Cao Tie lying on the bed with a sad expression, obviously seriously injured, they already understood what had happened.

Cao Tie saw Jiang Shaoheng struggling to get up, and begged: "Mrs. Jiang, you must help me, I don't want to die yet." ”

Seeing him so down, Jiang Shaoheng couldn't help but feel a little compassion in his heart, and he said: "Death or not death is not something we can decide, if you want to continue to live, then only you can save yourself." ”

When Cao Tie heard Jiang Shaoheng say this, he immediately understood what Jiang Shaoheng meant, and he struggled and said, "Master Jiang, don't worry." I understand what you mean, you want me to come out to testify against Cao Jixiang, I have a common enmity with Cao Jixiang, and I will definitely come out to testify against him, so that he will not die a good death. ”

Cao Tie's demeanor surprised Jiang Shaoheng and the others, they felt very strange, it was obvious that Cao Tie was Cao Jixiang's cousin, and it was Cao Jixiang's power that he had today's status, why did he show such a deep hatred for Cao Jixiang now.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Cao Tie already understood that the three of them were doubting themselves, so he gritted his teeth and said: "This Cao Jixiang is really too vicious, he sent a killer to kill me, and after the killer hit me hard, he actually killed my mother ruthlessly." ”

Only then did the three of them understand that it was because of this reason that Cao Tie was so resentful of Cao Jixiang.

In this way, Cao Tie will definitely testify against Cao Jixiang.

Jian Huaizhen has a contract in her hand that was also given to her first, and the contract is the physical evidence that proves Cao Jixiang, and now Cao Tie is willing to stand up and testify, so it is a human witness.

Up to now, there are all kinds of human and physical evidence, and it is a matter of time before Cao Jixiang is testified.

Jiang Shaoheng and the others took Cao Tie back to Huaiming Yuan to heal him.

Cao Tie was seriously injured, but the medicines in Huaiming Yuan were extremely precious, and under the care of Jiang Shaoheng and others, after less than three days, Cao Tie was no longer bothered by the pain.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaoheng knew that Cao Tie's situation at this moment could already enter the palace to testify, so he took Cao Tie into the palace with Fang Xiao, Tang Jingran and others.

Jian Huaizhen had already gotten the news, and when she heard that Cao Tie was not dead, she thought that she could finally testify against Cao Jixiang, and she was very happy in her heart.

Three days later, Jiang Shaoheng and the others sent Cao Tie into the palace.

Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng are the two masters in the world, and Tang Jingran's martial arts are not weak. It was impossible for someone to snatch Cao Tie from the three of them, so Jian Huaizhen didn't worry about it.

Sure enough, at noon, the three of them sent Cao Tie into the palace, and Jian Huaizhen took the three of them to see Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen was reviewing official documents in the Qianqing Palace, and he was still worried about Cao Jixiang.

Now although he knows the mistakes made by Cao Jixiang, but because there is no evidence to prove him, he still sees Cao Jixiang being arrogant in the court every day, and does not take himself in his eyes.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was angry when he heard the eunuch come and report: "Jian Huaizhen has brought someone here." ”

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly greeted him in person, and saluted Jian Huaizhen: "I don't know why the eldest princess came to Qianqing Palace today?" ”

Zhu Qizhen has been very respectful to Jian Huaizhen since he won the great victory of Wara.

Jian Huaizhen hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the emperor wants to punish Cao Jixiang, we already have physical evidence in our hands, and now the human evidence has also been found." ”

After saying that, he pointed at Cao Tie.

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback when he saw Cao Tie and said, "Isn't this Cao Tie?" He's alive. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly, and said calmly: "No, the sky is going to die Cao Jixiang." He sent killers to chase Cao Tie, but Cao Tie escaped. After Cao Tie escaped, thanks to Jiang Taifu and Fang Daxia and others, he was rescued. Cao Tie recuperated from his injuries in Huaiming Garden for three days, and now he can walk on the ground, so Mrs. Jiang took him into the palace to see the emperor. ”

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen knew that Cao Jixiang couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

At that moment, he sent someone to arrest Cao Jixiang.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen's holy decree was issued, Sun Xiangyong already knew about it, and he was very anxious.

Although he can't agree with Cao Jixiang's ruthlessness, this person has always been his biological eldest brother.

He hurriedly ordered his henchman's little eunuch to immediately go out of the palace to tell Cao Jixiang and let Cao Jixiang abscond quickly, his conspiracy had been completely exposed at this time.

After the little eunuch got the order, he dared to slack off, so he hurried to Cao Jixiang's mansion and told him the news that Sun Xiang had obtained.

Cao Jixiang has been like a frightened bird these days, he doesn't know Cao Tie's life or death, and he sent many people to look for it, but he has never found Cao Tie's whereabouts. He comforted himself by saying that Cao Tie was dead, and it was impossible for the emperor to find evidence of his collaboration with the enemy and treason.

But he didn't expect that the moment he didn't want to wait for came again.

The little eunuch hurriedly entered Cao's mansion, bowed his head when he saw Cao Jixiang, and panted and said: "Father-in-law Cao, father-in-law Cao, the big thing is not good, you should run away quickly." ”

Cao Jixiang was stunned when he saw the little eunuch's strange words, and asked, "Why did my father-in-law escape, what happened?" ”

The little eunuch said in a loud voice: "Qiyu Father-in-law Cao, it was Sun Xiang who sent his servants out of the palace to inform you that the emperor has seen Cao Tie, and the big thing is not good, Grandpa Sun asked you to escape quickly, you can find a place to hide first, and then talk about it later." ”

When Cao Jixiang heard this, he only felt that the sky and the earth had become pitch black in an instant.

He seemed at a loss, but he didn't know what to do.

He knew the little eunuch in front of him and knew that he was Sun Xiangyong's henchman. At this moment, he hurriedly ran to report to him, presumably not fake.

"Could it be that Zhu Qizhen really already knows the evidence of his crime? How good is that? ”

The little eunuch saw that Cao Jixiang was in a daze, thinking that he was scared stupid, so he stepped forward and pushed him, and said, "Father-in-law Cao, what are you still doing in a daze now?" Hurry up and run for your life, I can only go back after you escape, this is what Grandpa Sun ordered. ”

Cao Jixiang woke up from a dream when he heard the little eunuch say this, he nodded and said, "Okay, there is no other way to do it now." ”

After saying that, he went to the secret room and took out the silver tickets and jewelry that he had stored for a long time.

The little eunuch jumped to his feet anxiously, this Gonggong Cao has now reached the point of life and death, why do he still care about what gold, silver and jewelry he brings, whether his life is important or these gold and silver jewelry.

He saw that Cao Jixiang kept pouring boxes and taking cabinets, looking for gold, silver and jewelry, and was busy persuading him: "Father-in-law Cao, now is not the time to do these things, after I got the order of Father-in-law Sun, I hurried out of the palace, and the eunuch who sent the emperor's decree will be a little slower than me." But if Gonggong Cao doesn't flee quickly, they will come soon, and they won't be able to escape if they want to. ”

Cao Jixiang was busy and chaotic, where could he take care of so much.

There was only one thought in his heart at this moment, and that was to pack up the gold, silver and jewelry, and flee quickly.

Hearing what the little eunuch said, he suddenly realized that it was enough to spend enough gold and silver, but it was a burden for him to carry so much on the way to escape.

Thinking of this, he put the silver ticket and jewelry that he had packed into the package, and planned to escape.

The little eunuch saw that Cao Jixiang was already planning to escape, so he calmed down and said to Cao Jixiang: "Father-in-law Cao, the slave has also taken the first step. If the eunuch was ordered to see the slave here, Grandpa Sun and the slave would be very troublesome. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the backyard.

Cao Jixiang saw that the little eunuch was gone, and he also took all the gold, silver and jewelry and prepared to go to the backyard.

Who knew that as soon as he walked to the door of the backyard, he saw that the eunuchs who had sent the decree on the street had already arrived, and Tang Jingran came with the eunuchs to deliver the decree.

Jiang Shaoheng and Fang Xiao were afraid that Cao Jixiang would resist the decree and run away, so they asked Tang Jingran to follow him to arrest Cao Jixiang.

Cao Jixiang gasped, and waited until the eunuch and Tang Jingran walked past him, and then ran out of the back door.

He had barely taken a few steps when he felt someone grab him by the collar from the back of his neck.

Cao Jixiang was secretly frightened, and he stretched out his hand to fight with that man.

It turned out that although Cao Jixiang was just a eunuch, he still knew a little bit of fist and foot kung fu.

It's a pity that this time he met someone else, it was Tang Jingran.

Although Tang Jingran's martial arts are much inferior to Fang Xiao, Jian Huaizhen, Jiang Shaoheng and others, he is also a leader among the new generation of disciples who are red in the candle shadow.

When he saw Cao Jixiang stretching out his fist and hitting him, he smiled slightly, jumped to the side slightly, and let Cao Jixiang's fist and kick hit the air.

Then Tang was shocked to perform light skills, stepped behind Cao Jixiang in one step, stretched out his hands and twisted his shoulders from behind.

Cao Jixiang only felt a sore arm, and the package in his hand fell to the ground, and after the package was broken, gold, silver, jewelry, and silver tickets fell out.

Tang smiled and said to the guards: "Put all these things away, this is evidence of Grandpa Cao's corruption and perversion of the law." ”

The guards listened to Tang Jingran's orders, and did as they were told.

It turned out that Tang Jingran had long expected that Cao Jixiang might have ambushed a traitor in the palace, and he might get the news in advance after the emperor's order, so he deliberately let the eunuchs and guards follow him around the back door of Cao's mansion.

When he arrived at the back door, he saw the back door wide open, and he already thought that Cao Jixiang might escape through the back door, but he remained silent and still walked forward with the eunuch.

Even as they walked forward, Tang's eyes kept glancing back.

Sure enough, they didn't go far before they saw Cao Jixiang dressed as a civilian, sneakily carrying a burden and walking out of the back door.

Without delay, Tang Jingran immediately came to Cao Jixiang with light skills and arrested him.

Tang was shocked and smiled: "Gonggong Cao, where do you want to go in broad daylight?" And dressed like this. ”

Cao Jixiang was speechless for a while, he didn't want to show weakness in front of Tang Jingran and the eunuchs, so he said: "My father-in-law just wants to go out to play, is it also illegal to go out to play?" ”

"Of course, it's not illegal to play, but I don't know why Gonggong Cao wants to go out to play at this time? It's worth savoring. ”

Tang said with a grin, while bringing Cao Jixiang into Cao's mansion through the back door.

The eunuch who delivered the decree took out the decree and sang, "Cao Jixiang has received the decree." ”

Cao Jixiang was shocked, knowing that it was probably a catastrophe. At this moment, he has been subdued by Tang Jingran, and although Cao Mansion has many martial arts and strong guards, there must be no one whose martial arts skills are comparable to Tang Jingran.

He had no choice but to kneel down and say, "The old minister Cao Jixiang took the order." ”

The eunuch who passed the decree read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that Cao Jixiang is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the crime of colluding with Wara cannot be punished, so he is specially ordered to bring it back to the palace for investigation. ”

After Cao Jixiang listened to the holy decree, he only felt cold sweat and was speechless for a long time.

He collapsed to the ground, thinking that this was the end of the story.

Cao Jixiang was soon escorted to the Qianqing Palace by Tang Jingran and others.

Zhu Qizhen didn't fight when he saw Cao Jixiang, he pointed at Cao Jixiang, his voice was very trembling and asked: "Cao Jixiang, you have done good things, I have always treated you well, why do you want to do things that are treasonous and rebellious to the enemy?" ”

Cao Jixiang saw that he was already on the chopping block at this moment, and he was afraid that he would not be able to quibble.

Therefore he stood there without saying a word.

Tang was shocked and kicked him and said, "Kneel." ”

Cao Jixiang knelt in response, still with a blue face, and didn't say a word.

Jian Huaizhen smiled and said, "Father-in-law Cao, you haven't said a word until now, do you already want to confess?" Since you want to confess your guilt, he doesn't have to say anything, just draw a bet on this piece of paper. ”

After speaking, Jian Huaizhen took out a piece of paper and threw it in front of Cao Jixiang.
