"For the two missing women of the Qin family, I have sent secret guards to investigate, they have been wandering around for many years, and it is a great luck that they can survive, it is impossible to have the ability to retaliate against others, such a large-scale ambush of three or five hundred people, it is impossible to complete."

Yuan Zhi not only acknowledged the existence of the widow of the Qin family, but also explained why the facts of the case were not examined.

even denied the possibility of the Qin family waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

Cao Feiyan was silent.

She suddenly thought of the incident a few days ago, Mama Rong in the house poisoned her father, which was very strange.

The Avengers mentioned by the prince today shows that there are indeed people in the Cao Mansion enemy.

This enemy is very likely to be the behind-the-scenes manipulator of Mama Rong's poisoning.

"Prince, I believe you in this matter for the time being."

Cao Feiyan raised her eyebrows and said solemnly:

"But you have been secretly attacking Cao Fu, suddenly arresting Cao Fu's staff Zou Baichuan, torture Zou Baichuan to comply, listing Cao Fu's crimes of smuggling ordnance, massacring border soldiers and civilians, and private underground money banks, etc., in an attempt to carry out the purpose of raiding Cao's house and destroying his mouth for the crime of treason, can there be such a thing?"

Hearing this, Yuan Zhi sneered, and said in a deep voice:

"Cao Fu has been smuggling ordnance and armaments in the Western Regions over the years, and the stolen money has been put down and flowed all over the world, which is an indisputable fact in the imperial court, and it is an open secret.

"The prince is only half right, this is not the palace to interfere in politics, intending to protect the mother's family, in fact, these things happened before the war, everything was for the sake of the prince at that time, since His Majesty has decreed the end of the prince, these things can only be dealt with as the legacy of this case, how can it be a new case?"

Cao Feiyan's rebuttal is very strong and well-founded, it is by no means what she realized herself, but should be done by Jia Gongwang, the chief staff of the Cao Mansion, and she is just conveying it.

is worthy of being the chief staff, so it is tantamount to a rake, not only can not start a new case, but it seems that the prince recalls the old matter, intending to take revenge.

But Yuan Zhi is not the mind of the ancients, and he has a far-sighted plan for this.

"Niangniang only knows one thing but doesn't know the other, these smuggling activities, as well as the establishment of the Four Seas Money Bank, etc., are sure to have happened before the end of last year, and I have not denied it."

"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind about this, the reason for the Cao Mansion is to send someone to the East Palace to take the initiative to explain these so-called legacy issues after the holy decree takes effect, is it right? But in fact, there is none. ”

"Instead of taking the initiative to explain these remaining problems to the East Palace, the Cao Mansion intensified its activities, not hesitating to use the military token, and even the gold medal of the King of Jin, to arm the transfer of stolen money."

"May I ask the Empress Niang, can't the series of acts that occurred after His Majesty's edict be established as a new case and be investigated?"

The prince's arguments are also sharp and sharp.

The queen was speechless.

Especially when he heard that Cao Fu was secretly acting in the name of King Jin, Cao Feiyan's face became gloomy.

It's nothing short of lawlessness.

After the military admonition, His Majesty has issued an edict, and it is not allowed to say that there is no longer a dispute for the prince, which means that anything in the future of Cao Fu will not have anything to do with the King of Jin.

But they are still using King Jin's golden token?

This is the sin of deceit.

"Niangniang, I hope you look at the problem from a fair standpoint, if the Cao Mansion still disobeys the edict after His Majesty the Emperor's edict is issued, disobeys the decree, and refuses to confess all the illegal acts in the past, then you say, what should I do?"

"Now, the Cao Mansion no longer has the shield for the King of Jin to fight for the crown prince, so how should it be determined? What is not a deliberate rebellion? ”

At this time, Yuan Zhi naturally took advantage of the victory to pursue and put pressure on the queen.

Hearing this, Cao Feiyan suddenly felt that the prince's side was reasonable, and it seemed that the Cao Mansion was indeed doing a good job.

In the final analysis, it is still the people of Cao Mansion, including their father and brother, who are still unwilling from the bottom of their hearts and do not admit defeat.

worked hard for ten years, but was stirred up by the prince in less than a year.

But the prince is now unforgiving.

"Prince, you should believe that this palace will definitely not favor the Cao Mansion and do anything to harm your interests, this time it is purely the eldest brother who was assassinated inexplicably, my father vomited blood, and the mansion is surrounded by secret guards, in this case, this palace only returned to live in my mother's house, not to fight against the new regime."

Seeing this, the queen's anger disappeared for the most part, and her tone softened a lot.

"This, of course I believe in the queen's mother's personality, you are definitely not a protector in the unknown, but the members of the royal family and the government and the opposition, some people in the unknown matter do not see it that way, they have some slight remarks, I hope the mother will help persuade Cao Xiang, please stop doing irrational things, and cooperate with the new regime as soon as possible, so that the misunderstanding can disappear and the danger can be saved."

While complimenting the queen, Yuan Zhi also expressed his attitude.

That is to say, as long as Cao Fu surrenders and confesses all his crimes, the prince can give up his past suspicions and not blame the past.

"Okay, the Cao Mansion can hand over the underground Four Seas Money Village, the underground armory, and dissolve the Bloody Hand Gate, on the condition that the crown prince guarantees that he will never embarrass the people of the Cao family in the future."

Now, Cao Feiyan had no choice but to prepare to show the hole cards he carried.

It's just that she originally wanted to ask for some credit in front of Yuan Zhi, saying that this was the result of her being her father Cao Qichang.

But the reality is that the crown prince has come to the city and has the opportunity to take the lead everywhere, and Cao Fu has no choice but to do so.

Surrender saves a lot of trouble, and even does not require bloodshed.

If it doesn't fall, there is only a dead end, accelerating the destruction of Caofu.

"There is one thing that the palace tells you that all the money houses in the four seas have been transferred in advance, and the secret guards you sent out will find nothing, and this news will be reported to you one after another the day after tomorrow at the latest."

In order to save some face, Cao Feiyan still told the secret.

Hearing this, Yuan Zhi was slightly stunned, and immediately said with a smile on his face:

"If you can turn the war with Cao Fu into a jade silk this time, it all depends on Niangniang's fairness and selflessness, and the result of mediation from it, for Niangniang's kindness, Yuan Zhi will remember it for the rest of his life."

"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing, you'll remember it, coax the ghost."

Cao Feiyan's pretty face narrowed and sneered.

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? This palace asks you, has the fifth lady lived in the East Palace for the past two days, and when did this burning hoof hook up with you? Why hide it from Hongu? ”

The queen suddenly attacked.

Yuan Zhi was very calm when he heard this, he smiled and said:

"The fifth lady did stay in the East Palace for two nights, and she came to tell me about the situation on the side of the king of Jiangnan, of course, I have been with the fifth lady a few times, since before the winter last year."

"As soon as I come, I have this stinky problem, I can't pass the beauty pass, it's easy to be dragged into the water by a woman, drowning in meat and eight vegetables, I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and secondly, I also need to have someone with Jiangnan relations to provide me with some gossip."

Yuan Zhi spoke lightly and wittily.
