Chapter 210: I'm Sorry, I'm Guogong

After ordering a group of people, Li Xiang, who was about to go out, saw Zhang Chunyao kneeling outside the door of the study, Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Chen Cao in the study.

Li Wan'er and Weng Meixin, one of whom was from a military family, and the other was from a mixed family background, they couldn't get used to this, so they nodded to Li Xiang with some displeasure and left directly.

Chen Cao naturally noticed Zhang Chunyao outside the door, and then waved his hand to let everyone retreat: "Chunyao, come in, what are you kneeling outside the door for?" ”

Zhang Chunyao changed places, and after entering the study, she still knelt in front of Chen Cao: "Master, the concubine knows that she is wrong..."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Cao didn't raise his eyes, but kept writing official documents.

Zhang Chunyao looked up at Chen Cao and found that Chen Cao didn't look at him, so he burst into tears and said: "The concubine was blinded by lard, please punish the master..."

Chen Cao gently put down the quill pen, and then blew the undried pen and ink: "Have you thought about what to say to me?" ”

"The concubine back then... Back then..."

"It's hard to speak, is it?" Chen Cao raised his eyebrows: "Why don't I tell you for you, you Zhang Chunyao already had a marriage contract with Zhao Tianlin, and the Ningbo Rebellion was really not for him to take revenge on me, who was only a brocade guard at that time;

After I went to the Japanese country, the people of the Shimazu family told me about Ningbo, Zhao Tianlin was just to make a windfall, united the Japanese people to act together, but the matter was beyond his expectations, the ambition of the Japanese people he could not control, resulting in the fall of Ningbo, your father was responsible for defending the land, died under the sword of the Japanese people, and you..."

Chen Cao stood up and walked to the edge of the bookshelf to rummage through: "Because of the marriage contract with Zhao Tianlin at that time, he rescued him and took him to Daqushan Island, where you inadvertently learned the truth, so you looked like you were lost when I saved you." ”

Chen Cao, who found the thing, threw a thick envelope in front of Zhang Chunyao: "This is all the information collected by Jinyiwei about your Zhang family in Dinghai County, let's see how authentic it is." ”

Zhang Chunyao trembled, her hands trembled, and she picked up the envelope with hesitation.

Chen Cao snorted, and then sat back in his position: "Your family was broken after the Japanese rebellion, I asked Zhao Xin to send several times to Dinghai County to visit, and then you told me that you have relatives in Guangdong, fortunately, Zheng Zhilong has some doorways in Guangdong, and finally found your relatives in Chaoyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong;

It's your father's sister, your aunt's family works as a clerk in Chaoyang County, and Han Shizhong and they personally went to Chaoyang County to get a lot of information about the Zhang family in Dinghai..."

"Sir... Concubine...."

Chen Cao paused: "When the matter of my confiscation of assets was revealed, I immediately thought of Zhao Tianlin, and at that time I asked Zhao Xin to send someone to monitor, but this guy never showed his feet, so I wondered, could it be that there are other people?"

Any idea why I doubt you? Or, I have never let my guard down on you since you entered the house from the beginning, which makes me finally think of the matter of you here, which is the seizure of Chongming Island;

Zhao Tianlin's fleet escorted him back to the division, and there was no strange behavior for Jinyiwei to monitor him, but that's it, after going to Beijing, I was completely deflated by Wei Zhongxian, and I was honored to be kicked out of the eunuch party, and almost became a slave with three surnames, and almost died on the way. ”

"Master, the concubine really doesn't know about your attack..."

"I didn't say it was you," Chen Cao waved his hand: "The situation at home is known clearly, think about it, only you Zhang Chunyao, Xiang'er and a few of them don't have to talk about it, the only suspicious people in the family are you and Qi Yuanxiang, but Yuanxiang's father relied on me to enter the Zhejiang Political Envoy Division, if I fall, his eunuch background will inevitably be cut down, you say, who should I choose after choosing one of the two?" ”

"The concubine was also forced by Zhao Tianlin, the concubine has been inseparable from the master since she has been with the master for a long time, and the concubine is just... It's just that... I'm scared..."

"This reason makes sense," Chen Cao nodded thoughtfully: "Zhao Tianlin thought that he had been using me, but as everyone knows, I have been using him from the beginning. ”

"Who wants this to happen to the person next to them? I, Chen Cao, cherish my own women, you have been with me for so long, don't worry about whether I will kill you, since I know that you are doing Zhao Tianlin's internal response behind your back, in addition to being a little surprised, I can also think of your helplessness..."

Chen Cao's heart also softened at this moment, and he gently patted Zhang Chunyao's back with his hand, and then whispered: "You are now my Chen Cao's woman, so naturally you have to think about me Chen Cao." ”

"Concubine, I'm sorry master..."

Zhang Chunyao cried in a low voice.

Chen Cao smiled: "Okay, don't cry, if you are willing to admit your mistakes, it will prove that you are still towards me Chen Cao, and I will naturally be as good to you as ever." ”

"Hmm..."

"Then let me ask you, what else did Zhao Tianlin tell you to continue to monitor me?"

Zhang Chunyao raised her head and wiped her tears, now that she has explained the situation here in Chen Cao and has been forgiven, then she can lead by example: "Yes, the concubine was about to talk about these things, and a few days ago he asked someone to tell the concubine, and asked the concubine to inquire about the defense at home and the defense at the workshop." ”

"It's kind of interesting..."

Chen Cao laughed evilly, and then looked at Zhang Chunyao: "You don't have to worry about these things, let's give him a plan and calculate." ”

...

Before leaving, Chen was the chief military officer of this aid to Liao, so he naturally wanted to meet with the generals of Zhulu according to etiquette, but this time he did not gather the troops of Nanzhili, but only the Dingwu army went.

Zhao Tianlin, who had been promoted to become the actual helmsman of the Jiangjiang Water Division, saluted Chen Cao who was standing on the edge of the dock with a righteous face: "The last general, Zhao Tianlin, has seen Liang Guogong. ”

Chen Cao stepped forward with a smile and patted Zhao Tianlin's shoulder: "It's been so long that my father forgot to congratulate Vice General Zhao on his promotion, I'm really embarrassed, how can I say that he is also the person who went out under my command." ”

Zhao Tianlin nodded without changing his face: "Don't dare to let Liang Guogong worry, at the end of this trip, I will be ordered to escort Liang Guogong to the north, and hope that Liang Guogong is safe all the way." ”

"Hahaha..."Chen Cao laughed: "I'm very relieved, with you Vice General Zhao, this trip will be safe." ”

...

After Sun Chengzong was deposed, he had to leave from Shanhaiguan, but before he left, Chen Cao's fleet also arrived at the pass, and Chen Cao, who arrived at the pass by small boat, showed the banner of Liangguo Gong and entered the pass smoothly.

and saw Sun Chengzong, who had already cleaned up, in the superintendent's line.

After all, he is the boss of the Donglin Party, and although he has been dismissed, his influence in the DPRK is still very strong.

Chen Cao saluted Sun Chengzong as the Duke of the Kingdom: "The younger generation has seen Inspector Sun..."

Sun Chengzong squinted his eyes and sat on the main seat, now that he was no longer the governor of Liaodong, he didn't dare to hold it up, and arched his hand towards Chen Cao: "The old man has seen the Duke of Liangguo..."

"The Overseer is gracious..."

"I don't know if Liang Guogong is here suddenly, is there something important?"

Chen Cao said with a smile: "The superintendent is not careful, the junior just came to see Inspector Sun, and brought some daily necessities to the superintendent by the way." ”

Sun Chengzong opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "I'm tired of Liang Guogong's thoughts, and the old man has thanked him." ”

"The superintendent was persecuted by the traitorous party in the DPRK and China this time, and the younger generation believes that the superintendent will be able to take charge of Liaodong again in time."

"The old man is old..."Sun Chengzong did not follow Chen Cao's words, after all, he felt that people like Chen Cao would not simply look at themselves: "It's time to go home to retire, the Ming Dynasty has to be handed over to you young people..."

Chen Cao sighed, and then said to himself: "It's a pity that the eunuchs in the court have become the climate, and the persecution of officials has become the norm. ”

It is impossible for a person of Sun Chengzong's level not to know what happened to Chen Cao, and then he said with a slight mockery: "Isn't there anyone else in Liang Guogong?"

The old man listened to Gao Panlong and they talked about some things. ”

After all, he is kind to the bigwigs of the Donglin Party, and Sun Chengzong still accepts this feeling, but Chen Cao is from the eunuch party after all.

Chen Cao shook his head: "The supervisor doesn't know, although I, Chen Cao, was born in the eunuch party, but my heart is still for the saint and to do practical things for the Ming Dynasty, but it's a pity that the eunuch party can't tolerate outsiders like me who are unwilling to kill officials, no, it's not that I'm excluded, this time I was sent to lead the troops to fight Jiannu..."

Sun Chengzong looked Chen Cao up and down: "Liangguo Gong is both civil and military, I believe that Jiannu will not take advantage of Liangguo Gong's hands." ”

Chen Cao obviously felt that Sun Chengzong was ridiculing himself, so he lowered his head and whispered mysteriously: "The superintendent must be careful when he goes back this time, the younger generation learned that the superintendent was framed by a traitor in the court, and he couldn't bear to let the superintendent fall to the ground, so he specially came to inform the superintendent that he must be careful after returning to Beijing." ”

Sun Chengzong frowned, he didn't know what happened to him, but even Gao Panlong and Zhao Nanxing couldn't do anything to mediate between them.

Chen Cao saw Sun Chengzong's serious face, so he continued: "The junior learned that recently, Wei Gelding sent Dongchang and Jinyi Wei to collect talented people and secretly refine a colorless and odorless poison, called 'Family Xie Lisan'..."

Sun Chengzong's body was shocked, and his brows were tightly locked: "Family members thank you for the ceremony?" ”

Chen Cao nodded solemnly: "Exactly, this powder is added to the tea or wine glass, and the eater has no abnormal feeling, but as long as it is eaten, this person will definitely die, so it is called 'family thanksgiving dispersion'..."
