Chapter Seventy-Five: The Little Ones

In the courtyard of Liu's house, Liu Hanhong was looking at his account books in the study with relish, these were his treasures. He was thin and a little rickety, and he didn't have a single gray hair in his early fifties.

This is because he doesn't have to work hard to study the deceit in those officialdoms, and he silently steals convenience in his position. For him, in the current battle for the crown prince, it doesn't matter who he chooses.

As long as he can guard his little property every day, it is the most satisfying thing.

Liu Hanhong stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, looked at his account book carefully, and laughed greedily from time to time.

"This year's income is still considerable, and it is thanks to the fact that Lord Jiang now doesn't care about the affairs of the DPRK and China, otherwise in previous years, where would he be able to benefit so much from it."

Liu Hanhong muttered to himself contentedly.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the study, and Steward He said in an anxious tone, "My lord, someone is visiting."

Liu Hanhong was startled and hurriedly hid the account book.

After he sorted out his demeanor, he stood up from the desk, walked slowly to the door, looked at Steward He frowned and asked, "Who?"

"It's the Third Highness's person, Cao Fu." Steward He said truthfully, his eyes full of horror.

Liu Hanhong looked at his eyes and asked puzzledly, "Come on, come on, what do you mean by this expression?"

"It's not good, sir." Steward He reminded in a whisper. Liu Hanhong immediately squinted his eyes, stroked his beard slowly, and lowered his eyebrows and thought, "The person who came is not good? I have no enmity with the Third Highness in the near future, what can be the reason for this?"

He couldn't figure out where he offended Xiao Heng, so he could only show up to see Cao Fu.

As soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw three familiar men kneeling on the ground.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Cao Fu in the distance in confusion and said, "What does Lord Cao mean by this?"

Cao Fu smiled slightly, looked at the three people on the ground and said to Liu Hanhong, "Lord Liu is still familiar with these three people?"

Liu Hanhong shook his head suspiciously and said, "I don't know them."

After Cao Fu heard Liu Hanhong say this, he took out a confession in his hand, "This is the confession written by these three people to His Royal Highness, accusing you of taking advantage of your position to collect huge profits from it, Lord Liu, you have eaten enough, dare to swallow the money in the treasury?"

Cao Fu's eyes were gloomy, and he stared at Liu Hanhong in a cold sweat. Liu Hanhong clenched his sleeves and said stiffly, "Just based on what the three of them said nonsense, it is not appropriate to give me such a big crime, Lord Cao."

Seeing that the person in front of him was so hard-mouthed, Cao Fu was obviously impatient, he stepped forward and grabbed the hair of a kneeling person, and said jokingly, "As far as I know, one of them here is your little nephew, which one?"

He shook the dagger in his hand as he spoke. The cold light of the blade hit Liu Hanhong's face, and beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.

He looked evasive, and said in a vague tone, "I don't know."

"Oh, I don't know, but what about that?" After Cao Fu finished speaking, he stabbed the sharp blade into the neck of the kneeling man. At the moment of blood donation, Peng splashed on Liu Hanhong's face.

Liu Hanhong's body trembled subconsciously, and his lips turned white with fright.

"It seems that this is not it, so does Lord Liu remember it now?" Cao Fu raised his eyes and asked, his eyes full of provocation.

Liu Hanhong's hoarse voice trembled and said, "No...... I don't know."

After finishing speaking, the short blade in Cao Hand's hand stabbed into the neck of the next person, and it turned around twice in it.

Liu Hanhong's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to come out.

Cao Fu took out the dagger, wiped the blood on it with the clothes of the third person, and then looked at the third person and said, "It seems...... That's you."

"Lord Cao! What the hell do you want?" Liu Hanhong hurriedly stopped.

Cao Fu raised his eyes and smiled coldly, "I want your account book." After speaking, he put down the dagger in his hand, and Liu Hanhong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked Steward He to take back his account book.

Cao Fu

After getting the account book, he smiled proudly, and said to Liu Hanhong before leaving: "By the way, Lord Liu, this is a special period, remember to stand in line."

After speaking, Cao Fu led people out of Liu's mansion.

Liu Hanhong's nephew hugged him and wept bitterly.

Liu Hanhong looked at the two people lying on the ground, and was so frightened that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After Cao Fu left Liu's mansion, he went to the next place, the Ministry of Industry.

At this time, the imperial city was renovating the main hall, and the east palace was renovated for the future crown prince.

The person in charge is Qin Sen.

After Cao Fu sent Liu Hanhong's account book to the Shuangji Palace, he took the rest of the people to the Ministry of Industry.

After they came, they found Qin Sen's whereabouts, and at this time he was still supervising the production in the East Palace, Cao Fu smiled, and then ordered someone to take the tool and said, "Let's go, let's go and help Lord Qin."

His subordinates each had a hammer in their hands and came to the East Palace with great momentum. When Qin Sen learned about it, he came to the door to stop him.

"What are you going to do here?" Qin Sen frowned and looked at Cao Fu and the others in confusion.

Cao Fu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Let's take a look at the hall repaired by Lord Qin, after all, my master will live in it in the future, and our inspection will check the quality."

Qin Sen sneered, "Your Majesty hasn't made a decision yet, so you have a preconceived idea? What are you?"

Cao Fu's eyes darkened instantly, and he smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I'm not a thing, so what are you cultivating here?"

He gestured to the guard beside him with his eyes, and the guard immediately comprehended and broke into the East Palace with a hammer, and smashed it against the wall.

Qin Sen was frightened and hurriedly ordered someone to step forward to stop him, but the people under Cao's handrail moved quickly and had great strength, and within a while, they smashed the wall of the East Palace, which was supposed to be paved with all green bricks, but a large number of sawdust fell from it.

Qin Sen was stunned in place, looking at the sawdust that fell to the ground, and the subordinates on the side began to discuss. Qin Sen suddenly woke up and hurriedly drove away the subordinates beside him.

Cao Fu pretended to be serious and said, "I didn't expect Lord Qin to dare to cut corners in the prince's palace, if this is for our Royal Highness, oh no, if Your Majesty knows, what crime do you think you will be sentenced to?"

Qin Sen said in a panic, "Lord Cao, please help me hide it, don't you just want me to support His Royal Highness, I'...... I will definitely support it."

Cao Fu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to help you unless I ......."

Seeing that Cao Fu was not finished speaking, Qin Sen immediately stepped forward and asked, "Unless anything, I will give you whatever you want, and you can mention it, my lord."

"Unless you give me all the money you have had dealings with over the years, you will be able to bear this great sin." Cao Fu saw that the time was ripe, so he said his purpose.

Qin Sen said with a look of disbelief, "If I give that thing to you, will you be able to spare me this time?"

Cao Fu looked at his questioning appearance and whispered to him, "There is only one chance, which is more important, adults, you weigh it yourself."

Qin Sen swallowed and spit, turned his pupils to keep thinking in his brain, and finally nodded fiercely, "Okay." I only want your lordship to speak to count, and please tell His Highness for me that I am on his side."

Cao Fu sneered quietly, and then promised him, "Okay, Lord Qin, happy cooperation."

Cao Fu instructed the rest of the people to repair the hammered palace wall, and then asked Qin Sen to take it to the money.

After this whole day, Cao Fu gained a lot as expected, and now he was not afraid that Xiao Heng was blaming him.

Qin Sen ordered people to carry boxes of gold and silver into the Shuangji Hall with Cao Fu.

On the way down, Jiang Duanchen saw Cao Fu triumphant, carrying boxes of things behind him, and he showed a puzzled expression.

He said to Xue Fei beside him, "Go and find out what the Third Highness is doing."

Xue Fei nodded and said, "Yes."

Cao Fu returned to Xiang Xiao of the Shuangji Hall with today's harvest

Constant reporting.

"Your Highness, that Liu Hanhong and Qin Sen are both cowardly and fearful people, and I handed over all these things after a little intimidation."

Xiao Heng looked at the ledger in his hand and the box in the hall, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In this way, even if he didn't get Jiang Duanchen's thing, he would be able to give Xiao Guangji an errand.

"The three people you said, how can this only be for two people?" Xiao Heng said suddenly.

Cao Fu said in a low voice: "This Liu Xi is a difficult guy, although he is also timid and afraid, but after all, he is second only to Lord Jiang, it is not good for a little minion like me to intimidate him, and you have to come forward, Your Highness."

Xiao Heng frowned and said, "What should I do?"

"As far as I know, he and Lord Jiang have been disagreeable for a long time, and they have also privately encircled the officials, just waiting for the position. When Master Jiang resigned during that time, he was already ready to take the position, but who knew that there would be such a fuss again."

Cao Fu's eyes flashed with a cold coldness and said to Xiao Heng.

"So I'm going to find out who he's courting?" Xiao Henghu asked suspiciously.

"Yes, he hasn't stood in line yet, in fact, he just wants to see who will benefit more from you or His Highness, after all, he has a big deck in his hand. At this time, as soon as Your Highness comes forward, he will definitely give a great gift, and then we will present his great gift to Your Majesty, and it will not be long enough?" Cao Fu smiled evilly.

Xiao Heng suddenly realized that during this period of time, he always wanted to win over others in person, but he forgot that there was such a person. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the way of giving Xiao Guangji an errand, this person would be a good ally than the send-off club.

It's not bad to fight against Jiang Duanchen with him.

But the most important thing at the moment is to mix Xiao Guangji there.

The rest can only be said later. Xiao Heng tidied up his clothes and said to Cao Fu, "Yes, it's a good note. Then you can help me inform him, and say that I will be a guest at his house tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Highness." Cao Fu smiled proudly. The eyes are pure and sinister and calculating.
