I haven't seen Cao Yong for a long time, Wang Ling feels that he seems to have lost a lot of weight, and he really hasn't had a good rest during this time.

Wang Ling turned sideways to give way to the gap and made a gesture to Cao Yong: "Lord Cao, please come in." ”

The two sat in the courtyard, just as Cheng Yufang came back with Lin Lin to buy vegetables, Cheng Yufang saw that there were guests at home, and it was the prefect who came, so he hurriedly served hot tea to the two, and then took Lin Lin to hide in the house.

Cao Yong was a little puzzled and said, "Little Brother Wang, why don't we go into the house to talk, but in this courtyard?" ”

Wang Ling chuckled lightly and explained: "Haha, don't blame Lord Cao, it's definitely not that I deliberately neglect you, it's just that Sister Yufang and Xiao Linzi live in that house now, she is a woman's family, and the two of us are talking in it, what is that called, and my hut is too small, so I have to talk to you in this courtyard." ”

"You gave up the main house to Cheng's mother and son?" Cao Yong's eyes were only briefly surprised, and he understood Wang Ling's intentions, he looked at the extremely simple hut, and said strangely: "I remember asking Dawu to take fifty taels from the account room before, although this money can't build a good house, but it's better than now, which worker did you invite?" You can't let the foreman cheat you, right? ”

My Lord Cao, how can there be any foreman, all of your family Dawu has swallowed it privately······ Wang Ling complained bitterly in his heart, if it weren't for Dawu saying that he would save money for Xiaolinzi to go to school, Wang Ling would have buried him in this yard as fertilizer.

Cao Yong felt sorry for the silver, and when he saw it, he walked out, and he had to ask which ICBC Ziren dared to cut corners like this.

Wang Ling hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Lord Cao, you came to me today because you have something serious to tell me, right?" Just leave these small things to Dawu. ”

While he was talking, what he was thinking in his heart was, Dawu, I saved your life.

Cao Yong was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered the matter, returned to the stone table and sat down, he looked at Wang Ling with a serious expression and said: "I came here today, but I have a serious matter to tell you, it is related to the matter of the imperial court sent to Qingzhou to investigate the case tomorrow." ”

Wang Ling pretended to have just learned the news, and said, "Is it tomorrow?" It's almost the same time, but I don't know why adults are looking for me? ”

Cao Yong said: "I came to tell you who is in charge of this time, Your Majesty ordered the Imperial History Observatory and the Criminal Department to supervise each other, respectively, to inspect the Imperial History Zhang Zhongli and the Criminal Department Order Shi Li Zhong, Zhang Zhongli This person is upright and evil, but that Li Zhong, although it is a small Ling Shi, but even the Criminal Department Shangshu has to sell him a few thin noodles, and this person is greedy for money and lustful and has always befriended Liu Pingshan, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you and me." ”

Hearing him say this, Wang Ling suddenly realized that this person named Li Zhong was a trouble, if the person who came down handled it impartially, even if Cao Yong broke the rules and let the exiles into the city, but he also thought about the people in his move, even if he did, he would not be severely punished, I am afraid that this kind of person who obviously wants to make trouble will be the organizer, this person is good friends with Liu Pingshan, and he must use the topic to rectify Cao Yong.

Wang Ling was a little embarrassed: "Lord Cao, I am just a small character, no official and no character, if you tell me this, what can I do?" ”

Cao Yong said: "It wasn't until today that Qizhou came to inform me who sent me from above, presumably it was Liu Pingshan who did it on purpose, so that I was caught off guard, and I didn't hide it from Brother Wang, in fact, I have recently thought of some ways to deal with it, but the sudden appearance of Li Zhong really gave me a headache, Mr. told me before he left that you have a lot of ideas, can you help me think about it, how to solve this trouble?" ”

"This—" Wang Ling's face was grim.

Seeing Cao Yong looking at himself with expectation, Wang Ling had no choice but to think about it seriously, although he didn't know much about Liu Pingshan, but he also knew that this person had been against Cao Yong, Cao Yong and Lao Sun Tou were in the same camp, so this Liu Pingshan was the enemy of Lao Sun Tou, and if he didn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, he had to give the old Sun Tou a face.

Moreover, this time the mission came to Qingzhou, which was recruited by Lu Shu, and it was inevitable that he would first take a knife on himself, and he had to think seriously about how to deal with the past.

Wang Ling's eyes flickered, and after a while, he seemed to have an idea, so he said to Cao Yong: "Lord Cao, you are busy with official business, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and I need time to carefully consider some countermeasures, why don't you come back later?" ”

Cao Yong wanted to say, I'm not busy, I am very idle now in the time I specially set aside today.

But seeing Wang Ling's solemn expression, Cao Yong knew that it was not good for him to continue to stay, so he got up and said goodbye.

After Cao Yong left, Wang Ling's ears moved, first got up and knocked on the door of the main house, and after seeing Cheng Yufang, he said that Dawu went to the West Market to drink and did not return, hoping that Cheng Yufang would take Lin Lin out to help find it, and nothing happened.

Cheng Yufang heard this, hurriedly picked up Lin Lin and went out, before leaving, Wang Ling grabbed the bamboo chicken and stuffed it into Lin Lin's hand, and smiled at the mother and son: "Go quickly." ”

After the mother and son left, there was no one else in the courtyard except Wang Ling, so he sat back on the edge of the stone table, pouted, and shouted, "Come out." ”

The breeze that had been thrown out by Wang Ling before climbed over the wall and came to Wang Ling.

"Hear that?" Wang Lingdao.

Qingfeng first glanced at the shelves left in the courtyard, and then hugged his fists and said, "What do you command?" ”

Wang Ling's index finger tapped rhythmically on the table, and he thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any information about Li Zhong there?" ”

"Yes." Qingfeng replied very dryly.

"Alright, you go and fetch it for me." When Qingfeng walked to the door, Wang Ling stopped him again: "Wait! ”

Qingfeng looked back at him suspiciously.

"Zhang Zhongli's also brought it." Wang Ling added.

Qingfeng took the command and left, and returned after a while.

Wang Ling was startled when he saw him again, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with your face?" ”

"Mother-in-law hit." While Qingfeng spoke, he glanced at Wang Ling resentfully.

Wang Ling gasped, I heard him say that the fat woman named Lianyue was very fierce, but he didn't expect it to be brutal to this point, the breeze that was originally as thin as a bamboo pole is now wearing a pig's head, and her face is blue and purple, and it doesn't look scary.

Wang Ling patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "I'm sorry for you, brother." ”

"Thank you, Lord care." Qingfeng said thank you on his lips, but in his heart, he slandered, it's not all your fault!

After a short greeting, Wang Ling spread his hand and said, "Give me something." ”

Hearing this, Qingfeng took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Wang Ling.

After Wang Ling saw it, he was overjoyed, and instantly thought of a way to target Li Zhong, so he said to Qingfeng: "It's hard, there's nothing for you to do here, you can go back first." ”

The pig-headed breeze bowed to say goodbye, and was about to push the door to leave, when he suddenly heard Wang Ling stop him, and when he looked back, a money bag was thrown over, and he hurriedly caught it.

"My lord, what is this?" Qingfeng wondered.

Wang Ling smiled and said gently: "For you, go back and talk to your mother-in-law." ”

Qingfeng was grateful and turned to leave.

After a while, Dawu returned with Cheng Yufang and Lin Lin, Wang Ling glanced at Lin Lin who was holding a sugar gourd in his hand, and saw that Dawu was holding a hanging of sugar gourds in his hand, and said in his heart, is this the one who sells sugar gourds to Bao Yuan?

Suddenly feeling that something was wrong, Wang Ling looked left and right, and asked, "What about the wine I asked you to beat?" ”

Dawu scratched his head and smiled: "The boss said that the burning knife is gone, and I saw Sister Yufang and Xiao Linzi on the way back, so I used that money to buy sugar gourds for Xiao Linzi." ”

"What the fuck..." Wang Lingqiang resisted the urge to kick his ass, so he had to cover his face and sigh.

······

In the evening, Cao Yong invited Wang Ling to come to the study, this courtyard was his Cao Yong's real estate, so Wang Ling didn't care about Du Mingtang's ban on himself, and talked with Cao Yong in the study by candle, and carefully planned countermeasures.

It wasn't until a moment before he returned to the small courtyard, and as soon as he pushed the door, he saw Cao Shuangxu playing chess with Lin Lin, and the cherries were watching with relish on the side.

Why did she get here at this hour? My Miss Cao, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, is it really appropriate for you not to return late at night? If Lao Cao knew that his precious girl appeared in my yard late at night, would he beat me up regardless of the dignity of a scholar······? Wang Ling couldn't help but feel worried when he thought of this.

"What are you doing at this time? Don't go back yet! Wang Lingdao.

Cao Shuangxu didn't answer his words, but asked casually, "What did you talk about with my father?" ”

"We're talking about how to pit Liu Pingshan." Knowing that this Nizi is more concerned about this kind of thing, Wang Ling is too lazy to hide it from her.

When Cao Shuangxu heard this, she really became interested, she straightened her back, made a gesture of listening, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The corners of Wang Ling's mouth raised, and he pretended to be mysterious: "Confidential~"

Knowing that he was deliberately hanging his appetite, Cao Shuangxu frowned slightly, snorted lightly with her good-looking nose, and then stopped paying attention to Wang Ling, and continued to play chess with Lin Lin.

Wang Ling stepped forward and watched for a while, the two of them killed back and forth, and they were even more shocked by Cao Shuangxu's chess style, she obviously looked dignified and quiet, but when she played chess, she looked like a battle-hardened female general.

After watching it for a while, Wang Ling found something that made him feel ashamed, these two people's chess skills were slightly better than his own, and he was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he couldn't hold face on his face, and Wang Ling couldn't help but lament that he was really one in a million stinky chess baskets.

After the two of them finished this game, Wang Ling sent Cao Shuangxu out on the grounds that it was too late.

Before leaving, Cao Shuangxu said to him: "Tomorrow, is there a place where I can help?" ”

Wang Ling was stunned for a moment, then gave her a confident smile and said, "Don't worry, Master Cao and I have already taken measures." ”

"In that case, then I will be here tomorrow waiting for your good news." Cao Shuang smiled and said.

Waving goodbye to the two masters and servants, Wang Ling took a long breath and said in his heart, let them stay for a while, Rou Zhao will have to hide on the roof tonight to blow the cold wind.

Late at night, when everyone had fallen asleep, the soft omen dressed in black and covering the upper half of his face with an iron mask appeared in front of Wang Ling's eyes.

Wang Ling hurriedly greeted him and said, "It's here." ”

Rou Zhao nodded and said, "Tomorrow, the people from the capital will handle the case in the mansion, what are you going to do with Cao Yong?" ”

"It's not me or him, it's the three of us." Wang Ling corrected.

The eyes under the mask moved slightly, and Rou Zhao asked, "What do you need me to do?" ”

"First of all, I need a map of Kyoto City, I asked Lord Cao just now, and he said that this kind of thing is very strictly controlled, and there is no one in the Qingzhou Mansion." Wang Lingdao.

Rou Zhao pinched her chin and groaned for a moment, then nodded, "I can give it to you." ”

Then, Wang Ling added: "Secondly, I have heard that the mission is now living at a post station fifteen miles outside the city, can you make a trip for me?" ”

Rou Zhao frowned and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Just for you to bring a message to someone." Wang Lingdao.

Rou Zhao subconsciously thought that he was bringing flowers to Li Zhong, as the leader of the guilty Changge, he naturally knew that the biggest difficulty this time was on Li Zhong, so he thought that Wang Ling was preparing to use Li Zhong as a breakthrough, but he still asked, "Who?" ”

"The history of the criminal department, Zhang Zhongli." Wang Lingdao.

A hint of surprise clearly flashed in Rou Zhao's eyes, but after thinking about it for a while, he seemed to understand the intention of the royal order.

"Yes, what do you want to bring?" Jujudo.

Wang Ling smiled and said, "You tell him, I know that there are people in Jingguo who collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, as for who?" I won't tell him until this matter settles. ”
