Chapter 58: Questioning

"Cao, Xu."

Fan Shicheng squeezed out these words from between his teeth, looked at Cao Xu's smug face, and couldn't wait to pounce on him and tear him apart.

"You lied that day that your goods were robbed by horse bandits, and the money could not be turned around and asked the old man to borrow money, did you already plan to cheat the old man out of the old man's money with the thieves!?"

Listening to Fan Shicheng's gritted teeth, Cao Xu plucked his ears indifferently,

"Your Excellency, aren't you foolish? When did I borrow money from an adult? ”

"Who doesn't know that my Cao family is the head of the nobles in Beijing, and the family has a lot of money that can't be spent in a few lifetimes, how can I borrow money from you? Adults are afraid that they are joking, right? ”

Cao Xu deliberately raised the volume, and the onlookers also talked a lot when they heard this, which made the expression on Fan Shicheng's face even more ugly.

"You're just lying and deliberately deceiving!"

Fan Shicheng clenched his fists, "A group of you deliberately mentioned borrowing money to lure the old man to open the vault, and those thieves are waiting for an opportunity to ambush and take away my money!" ”

"You still want to deny it!? Hurry up and tell the old man who stole the old man's money! Everyone in the room can testify, don't try to fool this past! ”

"Oh?"

Cao Xu raised his eyebrows, "The people of the day? Fan Xiang refers to Liu Gongzi and Yang Gongzi, they? Are adults really sure? We have been friends for generations, and adults will not be naΓ―ve enough to think ...... They're going to help you, right? ”

Hearing this, Fan Shicheng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Oh, yes...... How could he forget that their group of nobles in the capital was originally a raccoon dog!

"My lord, I advise you to go back by yourself."

Cao Xu seemed to be smiling, "The province makes some jokes here, if it becomes a joke in the entire capital again...... I'm afraid that the face of the adult will not be able to hang up. ”

Hearing this, Fan Shicheng really wanted to immediately ask someone to slaughter the entire Cao Mansion, but the entire group of nobles in the capital was one, and if he was here to fight Cao Xu today, I was afraid that all the nobles would be enemies of him.

Most of his treasury has been lost, and if there is such a group of powerful enemies, Fan Shicheng will really not be able to bear it.

"Then you have to tell the old man who took the old man's money!"

Fan Shicheng had already lowered his requirements to the minimum, while Cao Xu stretched out his finger with a smile and pointed to the sky,

"The people up there."

Today's matter of finding Cao Xu to make trouble ended hastily, and on the way home, Fan Shicheng thought about who Cao Xu said about the person above.

It's Yongle Palace...... Or the Queen Mother?

After thinking about it, Fan Shicheng still felt that it was more likely that this matter was done by the Queen Mother, Yongle Palace...... It doesn't seem to be that bold.

In order to confirm this, Fan Shicheng asked Gu Chenfeng, a spy placed in Yongle Palace, to leave the palace and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for questioning.

"Mr. Zhao."

Gu Chenfeng, who got the news, didn't dare to hide it, and immediately informed Zhao Feng of the matter.

"Fan Shicheng sent a message to the villain last night, asking the villain to take leave of the palace today and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, presumably there is something to ask the villain."

Zhao Feng's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and sure enough, Fan Shicheng still suspected that he was coming to Yongle Palace.

"Don't be nervous, you just need to tell him that everything is fine in Yongle Palace, Your Majesty is obedient every day, and nothing else is unusual."

Zhao Feng opened his mouth, and then added, "By the way, you can also tell him that you saw several carriages entering the palace at night a few days ago, and those carriages went to the direction of Cining Palace, as for the rest, you can just say that you don't know anything." ”

Gu Chenfeng had already been subdued by Zhao Feng, and he nodded again and again when he heard this,

"Yes! The small ones must do what Manager Zhao said! ”

An hour later, Gu Chenfeng had already arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since entering Yongle Palace, this is the first time he has returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he can't help but be a little nervous.

"The little ones see the adults."

Gu Chenfeng saluted Fan Shicheng respectfully, and he didn't know if it was his illusion or what, he always felt that Fan Shicheng now looked like a lot of vicissitudes.

"What's going on in Yongle Palace lately?"

Fan Shicheng opened his mouth and asked, "What has that girl been doing lately?" What's going on? ”

"Returning to your lordship! There is nothing special about Yongle Palace! ”

Gu Chenfeng didn't dare to disobey Zhao Feng's meaning, and hurriedly spoke, "Your Majesty is still obsessed with scripts every day, and there is no other movement in Yongle Palace. ”

"Really?"

Fan Shicheng frowned, could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with Yongle Palace?

If it has nothing to do with Yongle Palace...... That's the Queen Mother!?

"That's right."

Gu Chenfeng remembered what Zhao Feng said again, "Speaking of the special situation in the palace, the little one remembered one thing, a few days ago, the little one saw several carriages entering the palace during the night patrol, probably in the direction of Cining Palace." ”

Hearing this, Fan Shicheng was taken aback, and stood up suddenly,

"Are you sure you're heading for Cining Palace?! What day is it?! ”

Gu Chenfeng was taken aback by Fan Shicheng's sudden reaction, but hurriedly replied,

"It's true that I'm going to Cining Palace, but ...... But I can't remember exactly what day it was......"

Because Zhao Feng didn't tell him exactly one day!

Fan Shicheng had a clear expression on his face at the moment, and his grim smile made Gu Chenfeng a little frightened.

"Sure enough, Cining Palace did it!"

Fan Shicheng said viciously, "I dare to beat the old man's idea, I think she is tired of sitting in the position of the queen mother!" ”

Gu Chenfeng didn't know anything about what was going on, he only felt as if he had caused some terrible misunderstanding.

"My lord, why did you specially let the little one come to the house today? Wasn't it all correspondence between Lord Lin and Xiao in the past? ”

Gu Chenfeng was a little nervous, and hurriedly changed the topic, Fan Shicheng was a little unhappy when he mentioned this matter,

"Lin Xiao is injured, and he can't get out of bed for ten days and half a month."

Speaking of this, Fan Shicheng remembered that Lin Xiao had been injured by the mysterious person of Yongle Palace, and immediately asked,

"Have you noticed any masters in the Yongle Palace? Lin Xiao had been injured by a person from Yongle Palace, and he said that the person who injured him this time seemed to be the same as last time. ”

The person who injured Lin Xiao, isn't that Manager Zhao?

Why did he do it to Lin Xiao again?

Gu Chenfeng felt that there were more and more things he didn't know, but he still didn't dare to reveal half a thing about Zhao Feng.

"I really don't know this little one, there have never been any strong martial arts people in Yongle Palace, and there have not even been any newcomers to join, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid Lord Lin is mistaken. ”

Receiving such an answer, Fan Shicheng was slightly disappointed.

"That's it, go back and continue to stare at Yongle Palace, you should also pay attention to the movements on the side of Cining Palace, if there is any movement on the Queen Mother's side, you must send a message to the old man as soon as possible!"

"Little obedience!"
