"And those who have the ability to ambush, such as Jiang Zuomeng, who is the remnant of the dead country in Jiangnan, but Cao Yanchun is a political enemy with them, not a personal grudge, he will never admit that he is guilty, and he needs to atone for his crimes in front of the other party."

Ji Hong's analysis is very reasonable.

Yuan Zhi also fell into deep thought, without a clue.

After a while, he raised his head and ordered:

"Duke, this mysterious person can't think of it for a while, let's put it first, deal with the important and urgent things in front of us in advance, and seal up the Four Seas Money Village as soon as possible, and we can't let them be transferred."

In addition, several copies of the materials confessed by Zou Baichuan were copied, and this time he asked for a holy request, convicted Cao Fu of treason, and beheaded all over the house. Also, he ordered the secret guard to secretly issue a 'Jianghu chase and kill order', and offered a heavy reward for Cao Zewei's head, he is Cao Qichang's eldest grandson, and he will definitely become the culprit against the imperial court in the future. ”

"Obey the order, the minister retires."

After the ceremony, Ji Hong withdrew from the main hall of the West Study.

"Secretary Qiu, Master Zheng Shaoqiu, the chief supervisor of the Department of Commerce."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The autumn wind went out in response.

……

Cao Mansion, Dongwan Study.

Cao Qichang stood in front of the window lattice and pondered.

At this time, the door of the study was pushed open with a "creak...", and a black-clothed warrior, who was also tall and burly, quietly entered from outside the door.

Seeing the back in awe-inspiring thought, he didn't dare to disturb loudly, but just called out in a low voice, "Xiangye." ”

Cao Qichang turned his head suddenly, his eagle-like black eyes swept through the cold, he reached out and stroked his long beard under his chin, walked coldly to the table of rosewood, and sat down in a precarious position.

He moved his throat, swallowed a little saliva, then raised his eyes and raised his lips slightly, sipping out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Baoqin, have you heard the exact news?"

The person who came was called Baoqin, and he was the big red stick of the full-time intelligence of the Bloody Hand Gate.

At present, the young head of Dugucheng went to Dunhuang, and the affairs of the bloody hand gate in Beijing were temporarily in charge of him, and he directly reported and asked Cao Qichang for instructions.

Baoqin is a Xianbei tribesman, and the three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren were originally slaves of Caofu, but he was born with arm strength, extremely brave, and followed his master since he was a child, and won his trust.

"Master Yu, I just heard the news from the East Palace, I heard that Zou Baichuan has distributed the various places of the Four Seas Money Village, and the surname of the shopkeeper has been explained, and the East Palace has arranged for the secret guards to attack quickly."

"Hehe, or Mr. Jia has a hunch, we issued a warning two days in advance, but what about the shadow that was originally sent into the East Palace by this mansion? Why didn't she inform in advance? Cao Qichang said.

"I'm sorry Xiangye, that shadow has long been exposed, and he was killed by random arrows when he ran away a few days ago." Huqin replied tremblingly.

"What? He was already exposed? ”

Yang Guang's face sank when he heard this, "The undercover agent sent to the East Palace, is he still involved?" ”

"And... There was a palace maid who was forcibly taken away by Qianniuwei! ”

"Smack...".

Cao Qichang's eyes widened angrily when he heard the words, he slapped his palm suddenly, and the tea sets on the table were shocked.

"Xiangye..."Huqin was so frightened that he knelt on his knees and kowtowed to apologize.

"Say! How the hell did this happen..."Cao Qichang shouted sharply.

He has always attached great importance to the informants placed in the East Palace, especially the people around the crown prince or the prince's side concubine, and he did not hesitate to buy them with a lot of money.

In the past six months, there have been several major cleanups in the East Palace and Funing Palace, but he can still succeed in countering some.

This is mainly the role of money, and there must be outlaws under the heavy money.

But this time, the Prince Mansion informant network suffered another heavy blow, which he did not expect.

"Xiangye, the situation at that time was..."

After the assassination of the crown prince by Baoqin, Qianniuwei and the hidden son jointly investigated the situation and made a detailed report to Cao Qichang in 1510.

After speaking, he didn't forget to sneak a glance at the master.

"How can this be reasonable, our shadows inside the entire palace, Qianjinwei, and the secret guards have almost been uprooted, and this is worth it."

Cao Qichang was so angry that the corners of his lips trembled, and with a wave of his big hand, the blue and white teacup resting on the desk flew to the opposite wall.

"Bang..."

The porcelain teacup crumbs and tea leaves were splashed all over the place.

Cao Qichang's impression of Baoqin is calm and wise, he rarely saw Xiangye make such a fire, and hurriedly comforted:

"Xiangye, please calm your anger, under the physical knowledge personnel, on the side of the palace maids and chamberlains in the East Palace, do not hesitate to spend a lot of money and enter it again."

"There is also the queen mother of Funing Palace, and she also has to send someone over, in addition to the palace maids and internal servants, Qianniuwei also has to use her brains, and she can use her family, parents and brothers to force them to comply." Cao Qichang said with a frown.

His face suddenly became hideous and terrifying, his eyes suddenly sank, and he commanded Baoqin:

"You immediately arrange for someone to dispose of all Zou Baichuan's family, and leave no one behind, as a warning to others."

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

After holding the qin and saluting, he turned around and went out, and quickly carried out the order.

After Baoqin left, Cao Qichang paced back and forth in the book for a few minutes, he thought of a person, and immediately walked out of Dongwan's study, "Come on, prepare a chariot for me." ”

"No!"

The guard at the door was about to leave, when he saw the chief military advisor Jia Gongwang hurriedly come in and said loudly:

"Xiangye, don't leave yet, my subordinates have something urgent to report."

He trotted all the way from the Staff's Office, panting and sweating profusely.

Cao Qichang hurriedly followed Jia Gongwang into the main hall of the study.

"Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Jia, the sky won't fall, take your time."

He personally picked up the teapot, poured a bowl of tea, and brought it to Jia Gongwang, "Take a sip of tea first, sit down and talk slowly." ”

Jia Gongwang was not polite, he took the tea bowl and wiped his mouth with his cuffs, and then sat down.

After calming yourself down, you can tell what happened.

More than a quarter of an hour ago, the doorman turned on a secret letter, which was neither letterheaded nor signed.

The person who came half covered his face and half covered his face, only said that he must be transferred to Master Caofu, and after speaking, he got on his horse and left quickly.

The doorman felt that this person was mysterious and fearful of fraud, so he directly sent the secret letter to the staff office.

Jia Gongwang listened to the doorman's report on the whole process, and he also felt very strange.

The person who came didn't say anything, and what was presented was a headless and brainless letter, so he decided to read the content of the letter first, and then decide whether to tell Xiangye.

When he opened the letter, he turned pale with astonishment.

The letter only said one sentence: Cao Yanchun died in an ambush in the Yu realm, and the whereabouts of his son are unknown.

Then he didn't bother to send someone to carry the sedan chair, and trotted all the way over.

"The secret letter here."

Jia Gongwang trembled and handed over the letter.

Cao Qichang snatched the letter and only glanced at it, as if he had encountered a thunderbolt on a sunny day, first sluggish, and then his face turned white and trembled.

I saw him scream, "My Chun'er..."

Immediately, a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the person fainted.

"Someone, someone..."Jia Gongwang shouted.

In an instant, several guards poured in from the gate.

"Quick... Quickly carry it to the bed in the side hall. ”

"Report to the hospital, pass on the doctor."

“？？？”

The scene was chaotic on one side.
