"This is not the place to talk, let's go to the tent." Cao Shuangxu took the royal order into his tent, the tent was not big, but it could accommodate three people, and it could stand and sit, unlike those outside.

I usually don't live in people, but after all, my daughter still needs such a private space when she rests, and there are officials and officials in charge of the government outside, so you don't have to worry about safety.

After Cherry poured a bowl of tea for each of them, she walked out of the tent and stood guard outside.

The official near the tent always peeked a few times intentionally or unintentionally, the daughter of the prefect brought a man into the tent, and let the maid guard outside the tent, which inevitably made people think more, the leading official looked embarrassed, he had never seen the royal order, and he did not dare to come up without rules to persuade him, a little embarrassed, after thinking about it again and again, he beckoned to the cherry.

Cherry hesitated slightly, came to the official, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Uh, the man who just went in was a young lady who knew him?" In fact, what he said was quite level, it wasn't the young lady who knew him, and the two of them could talk alone in a tent? But he didn't know how to speak, so he couldn't ask: Why is the man alone in a tent with the young lady? It's a lot of annoying people to ask this question.

Cherry knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression, glanced back at the tent behind him, and then straightened her head again, and said with a stern touch on her face: "That is a junior who is an old friend of the master, and he is talking about business with the young lady, is there any problem?" ”

It turned out to be a friend of Lord Cao, so it would be fine······ When the nosy official heard this, his heart was much calmer, and when he saw the little maid looking at him unkindly, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just feel like I'm alive and ask casually." ”

"If it's okay, I'll go back first." After speaking, she turned around and left, and the official was slightly embarrassed.

In the tent here, Wang Ling took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Here's the thing......" Cao Shuangxu slowly recounted what had happened in the past few days, and Wang Ling knew that most of the displaced people outside had been driven out by the city servants, and the courtyard used to accommodate refugees in the city was now empty.

Wang Ling had a cold face and asked, "Lord Cao doesn't care?" ”

Unexpectedly, Cao Shuangxu was not angry, staring at Wang Ling with autumn-like eyes, and said angrily: "It's not because of you? ”

"Me?" Wang Ling was a little surprised.

"It's not because you beat Dongchuan Hou Shizi."

Seeing that Wang Ling's eyes were still dazed, Cao Shuangxu was not angry enough to narrate the cause and effect of the whole thing for him.

"At the beginning, my father wanted to let the displaced people into the city, but it was not in accordance with the rules, so I negotiated with Commander Du to negotiate properly, and there was nothing to do, but you beat Lu Jialei a few days ago, so Lu Xuan... That is, the Marquis of Dongchuan, a piece of paper was sent to the capital, not only said that the prince was beaten, but also accused my father and Du Mingtang of not being strict with Qingzhou's governance, His Majesty issued a decree, ordered the people of the Imperial Shitai and the Criminal Department to investigate the matter, and arrived in Qingzhou in a few days, and the officials of the Political Envoy Department were responsible for assisting, plus Liu Jiben was Liu Pingshan's own nephew, he took the lead at this time, whether it was Commander Du or my father, he couldn't stand up, which is complicated, you want to go yourself. ”

Wang Ling heard this, analyzed the relationship in his heart, and said in his heart, according to the convention, the homeless people cannot enter the city for a long time, even if they sleep on the streets, it is not allowed, which will disrupt the original order in the city, and it has always been responsible for the security of the city is the street division, the reason why Du Mingtang agreed, can be regarded as officialdom, the emperor's people will soon arrive in Qingzhou because of the matter of the Marquis of Dongchuan, Du Mingtang in order to clear the relationship, it is understandable to condone his subordinates to drive the homeless people out of the city, after all, the security in the city is the responsibility of the street department, If something happens, the Street Division is also responsible, Cao Yong really has no position to stop it, but what does this have to do with me beating that dog?

Suddenly, Wang Ling remembered the mother and son who were beaten, and suddenly realized that there was really a connection!

If Dongchuan Hou wants to take the opportunity to find trouble in Qingzhou officialdom, what reason will he use to make the first point? There is no doubt that it must be a matter of the governance of the homeless, he can say that the Qingzhou prefect and the street division indulged the homeless people into the city, and the prince was deeply affected and seriously injured, and the accompanying guards were all killed by the city servants of the street department, so that Cao Yong and Du Mingtang fell into passivity.

Although this statement is far-fetched, it seems to outsiders that this is the case, the homeless people were put in by the prefect, and the street division acquiesced to this, and the people were killed by me, the servant of the city, many people saw it in Washi that day, if the waiter drove out the homeless people is Du Mingtang in the dead sheep, then Cao Yong's acquiescence can only be said to be a helpless move, he meowed, I really caused big trouble for the two big guys, and the Qincha came down.

Thinking about this, Wang Ling arched his hand towards Cao Shuangsu, and said with a smile: "It's me who is reckless and causing trouble, I'm sorry." ”

Cao Shuangxu saw that his attitude was sincere, and his face softened a lot: "I don't have to blame myself too much, I already know the whole story, just with personal feelings, I think you did the right thing, if it were me, I would hate to slap Lu Jialei twice." In the end, the eldest lady of the Cao family, who was gentle and gentle on the surface, but actually had a strong force in her bones, pinched her delicate little fist, and looked vicious.

Wang Ling suddenly realized that something was wrong, he always felt that a certain link was unreasonable, he pondered for a while, and looked at the tea bowl on the small table in a daze, Cao Shuangxu noticed his abnormality, tilted his head, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Wang Ling raise her head suddenly, staring at her face without speaking, Wang Ling's gaze was too naked, which added an inexplicable irritability to her heart.

Miss Cao's face turned crimson by his fiery gaze, and she frowned and said angrily, "What are you looking at me for?" ”

"I would like to ask a question, what is the attitude of the Street Division on this matter? Oh, I'm going to be more specific, what is Du Mingtang's attitude? After I disappeared, how did Du Mingtang and Master Cao deal with the follow-up problems? Wang Lingdao.

Cao Shuangxu was stunned for a moment, didn't understand why he asked this, and replied casually: "Dongchuan Hou once ordered someone to ask for someone to take you back to Dongchuan to ask for guilt, the people from the Hou Mansion first found my father, and was scolded by my father and ran away, and then went to the Street Division, but Commander Du closed the door and let the man eat a closed door." ”

That's it!

Wang Ling felt that it was wrong just now, the prince was just beaten, and he was not killed, why did Dongchuan Hou stab this matter to the capital? The death of a few secret guards is nothing to these princes and nobles, according to the normal process, it should be to ask the government and the street department for accountability first, and because both parties are unwilling to interfere, Lu Shu therefore holds a grudge and sues the royal court, and it is expected that Cao Yong will favor himself, so what about Du Mingtang? And what is he for?

If it were me, even if the murderer of the beating was someone under his own hands, even if he couldn't hand over someone for a while, he shouldn't behave so rudely and arrogantly, obviously not taking Dongchuan Hou seriously, and so obviously shielding his subordinates, he would inevitably offend the other party.

From the first time he appeared to relieve me, he gave me an inexplicable sense of disobedience, and then in the council hall too, and this time it was the same, every time it seemed reasonable, but the result was in my favor after he appeared, Du Mingtang...... Sure enough, there are plans for me, is it for the sake of the innocent heart? No, I hadn't shown this strength at that time, he shouldn't have known, could it be that Du Mingtang and Dongchuan Hou already had an old enmity······ Wang Ling fell into deep thought.

At this time, Cao Shuangxu suddenly asked, "Wang Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Ling came back to his senses, looked at Cao Shuangxu's delicate face, and decided to put Du Mingtang's question aside first, and now the most important thing was to deal with Dongchuan Hou's matter, he said, "Miss Cao, can I ask you a favor?" ”

Wang Ling didn't want Cao Shuangsu to be involved, but after knowing that Liu Ji was Liu Pingshan's nephew, he realized that the situation was not as simple as he thought, at this time he needed someone to handle something, and he was worried that there was no suitable candidate, he glanced at Cao Shuangxu, and his eyes were slightly strange.

Cao Shuang was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Lingzhengse: "I have a way, maybe I can make Dongchuan Hou have some scruples, so that he doesn't dare to embarrass Lord Cao, this matter is not difficult, as long as someone runs an errand to send someone an object, this person is more special, I am not convenient to go in person." ”

Hearing this, Cao Shuang smiled: "Just ask Cherry or Dawu to run." ”

Wang Ling smiled a little embarrassedly: "This matter, it's not appropriate for them to go, that person shouldn't see them." ”

"Oh? So who do you want to go? Cao Shuangxu said.

Wang Ling didn't speak, but his eyes kept looking at her face.

Cao Shuangxu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know, then I'll run this trip for you, but I can talk, if it's too far, I won't go." It's not that she's afraid to go far away, it's just that she was planning to build a charity hall, and she was running around to raise money, so it was inconvenient to travel far.

"It's not far, an afternoon is enough time to go back and forth." Wang Ling sneered.

Cao Shuangxu smiled: "Okay, what do you need to send, and where do you send it?" ”

Wang Ling's mouth moved slightly, and after speaking, the smile on Miss Cao's face gradually solidified, and she immediately screamed and exclaimed, "What?!" ”

Her voice not only startled Wang Ling, but even the cherries and officials outside the tent looked at the tent they were in, and the little maid hurriedly lifted the tent and poked in a small head, "Miss, how are you!" Is this disciple bullying you again?! ”

I thought that when I came in, I would see Wang Ling doing misdeeds to my own lady, but it was clear that the two of them were fine and there was no physical contact, so Cherry Fox glanced at Wang Ling suspiciously, and then looked at her own lady to see if there was anything unusual.

Several officials also came over and stood outside and shouted, "Miss, do you need me to wait in and help?" ”

Listening to the movement outside, Cao Shuangxu first glanced at Wang Ling, this guy had a frightened expression, the corners of Cao Shuangxu's mouth hooked a curvature, and he was a little proud, and said to Cherry: "It's just that I was frightened by insects, you go out, and tell the people in the government to give porridge as usual, don't worry about me here." ”

"Oh." The little girl stared at Wang Ling's back, although she was still not at ease, but she had to do it, and several officials heard that nothing happened and returned to their respective positions.

Wang Ling exhaled heavily, and patted his chest with palpitations: "You are such a prefect's daughter, can you stop yelling all the time?" ”

"It's not all your fault!" Cao Shuangsu said angrily, recalling what Wang Ling had just said, she questioned: "What you just said is true or false?" I always thought it was ridiculous. ”

Wang Ling smiled: "I don't know either. ”

"You don't know?! I don't know if you still let me go to that person! Cao Shuangxu was shocked and angry, feeling that she had been tricked.

Wang Ling pressed his hand, motioned her to be quieter, and then took out the jade wrench from his arms and handed it to Cao Shuangxu: "Whether it's true or not, you have to try it, you take this with you, and he will know it at a glance." ”

Cao Shuangxu took the wrench and looked at it, the workmanship was excellent, and it cost fifty taels of silver to put it on the market.

"How do you know this inside story?" While Cao Shuangxu spoke, she did not hide her disdainful eyes at all.

Wang Ling knew what she was thinking, so he didn't explain, he just said that he inquired from elsewhere, as for where this other place was, he didn't say, Cao Shuangxu didn't bother to ask, and after putting away his wrench, he promised Wang Ling: "I will run this trip for you in the afternoon, but if it's not like you said, you just wait for my father to clean you up." ”

Wang Ling smiled bitterly: "No, no, if something really goes wrong, I'll take off my head and use it as a stool for you." ”

Cao Shuangxu looked at his handsome face, thinking about the picture of his buttocks sitting on this person's head, he couldn't help but blush his cheeks, and then spat him: "Who cares about your head!" ”

Wang Ling didn't understand, he was stunned, he only felt that the woman in front of him was more charming and moving than when the two first met.

The conversation was almost over, and Wang Ling was ready to get up and say goodbye.

Cao Shuangsu was surprised: "Are you going to enter the city?" ”

Wang Ling was also surprised: "Yes, what's wrong? ”

"If you go back now, the Street Division will definitely send you to prison, even if my father comes forward, it will just change you to a yamen and shut you up and wait for investigation." Cao Shuangxu said.

Wang Ling spread his hands: "Is it possible to hide all the time?" Will hiding solve all the problems? ”

Cao Shuangxu was about to speak, Wang Ling preemptively said: "I originally thought that I would definitely be in danger of beating Lu Jialei, but now I find that in the eyes of some people, my matter is just a small matter the size of a sesame mung bean, and their real purpose is not me, but your father, as for me and Lu Jialei, it is just a reason, instead of hiding, it is better to face it calmly, I can't watch Lord Cao wipe my ass for me after being busy, I myself hide in the dark and have fun, right?" ”

Cao Shuangxu was stunned and had nothing to say.

Seeing this, the king commanded: "Therefore, you must send this ring to the man as soon as possible, and tell him what I have said, and I may be put in a cell at noon, and then released in the evening." ”

"Well, without further ado, I'll go now." Cao Shuang shook his head.

Wang Ling: "Then I will also go to the Street Division to surrender, whether I can return to that small courtyard safely depends on Miss Cao." ”

He bowed to Cao Shuangxu in a fake manner, but Cao Shuangxu ignored it, walked out of the tent and ordered Cherry: "Tell someone to bring the carriage, you go to a place with me." ”

"Okay miss, where are we going?" Cherry asked.

Cao Shuangxu ignored her, but turned his head to look at the tent behind him, and said to Wang Ling inside: "What are your plans for the future?" ”

She doesn't think that Wang Ling can cope with the next situation, in Cao Shuangxu's opinion, the only backer that Wang Ling can rely on at the moment is only her father, but even if her father is the prefect of a state, there is no way to keep Wang Ling in this situation, just now she has been observing Wang Ling, and she has not felt the urgency of the catastrophe from him, but she always feels that this person seems to have a grasp of how to deal with it, and I don't know if he is ignorant or blindly confident.

Wang Ling got up and walked out of the tent, stood side by side with her, looked in the direction of the city gate and smiled: "I'm going to see someone too." ”
