Cao Ge Lao listened to the words of the visitor, first thought for a while, and looked at the visitor.

"When did the second group go?"

The person who came to report the news was also clever, and he was also involved in this matter, so he remembered it very clearly.

"Back to the master, it was fifteen when the first two people came."

Cao Ge Lao carefully recalled in his mind what was going on in Kyoto City on the fifteenth day, and then he thought of Zhou Yu's entry into the palace that day, and his heart was groaning.

Not good! Could it be that the person who went was not sent by the Anping County Palace, but the emperor?

"The third wave is there today?"

"Yes, sir."

Thinking of the people who came to report, Jiahe entered the palace early this morning, and Cao Ge Lao was already eight points sure in his heart, the person was not sent by the Anping County Palace, but the emperor.

If his guess was right, it should be Jiahe who entered the palace to ask the emperor for help.

Thinking of this, even if Cao Ge Lao was reluctant to give up the hard work of more than ten years, he still had to give up what should be abandoned.

Otherwise, even the Cao family will be implicated, and it will be too late by then.

Cao Ge Lao didn't have any expression on his face when he was thinking about things, and the people who came to report the news didn't know what Cao Ge Lao was thinking in his heart.

"I know about this, you go back first."

The messenger didn't think much of it when he heard it, and saluted and took his leave.

As soon as the man left, Elder Cao Ge summoned the housekeeper and ordered him carefully.

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard Cao Ge's words!

"Master, do you really want to get to that point?"

"Do what I say, be fast, I'm afraid it'll be too late if it's too late."

The housekeeper didn't dare to hesitate when he heard this, and was busy arranging.

At night, the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard arranged for his four powerful men, as well as himself to go to Jasmine Town, he wanted to take a good look at the Zhang family in Jasmine Town, what was going on.

As soon as a few people arrived near Zhang's house, they smelled a strong smell of blood, and the whole Zhang Mansion was terrifying.

With a wave of his hand, the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard scattered around, but they were a step too late after all, and there was no one alive in the entire Zhang Mansion, and even the dog who was guarding the house was dead, so it can be said that the chicken and dog were not left.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been few cases of such a bad nature.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard asked one of them to go back to Kyoto City to report the news, while he stayed with the other three to check if there was any room to live.

It's just that they were disappointed, the entire Zhang family has one hundred and eight people, and none of them survived.

The emperor was also shocked when he heard the report, and then asked Ding Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, to set off overnight to deal with the destruction of the Zhang family in Jasmine Town.

With such a big case, the yamen in the town couldn't manage it at all, and they didn't dare to manage it.

You must know that the Zhang family can be said to be an existence like the emperor of the soil in Jasmine Town, and the county magistrate of the Yamen also acts on the face of the Zhang family, how dare he care if such a big thing happens.

When the sky was slightly bright, the group of Dali Temple arrived at Jasmine Town and directly surrounded the entire Zhang Mansion.

When Ding Yan came over this time, he brought a work together, and after the inspection, it was determined that the entire Zhang Mansion was the same poison, which was very powerful, and could kill the poisoned person in just five breaths, and it could be said that there was no time to call for help.

But this poison is not in the diet, but a colorless and tasteless smoke, but this poison is now rarely used, it can be said to be pervasive, indiscriminate attack, as long as a little careless inhalation, even the poisoned person can not escape, no wonder Zhang Fu up to the master down to the chicken dog, no life back.

If it is in the diet, there may be fish that slip through the net, and the person who poisoned it really wants the life of the Zhang family.

The cause of death has been investigated, but as for who killed the Zhang family, it has to be carefully considered.

Ding Yan visited many families in Jasmine Town, and now that the Zhang family is dead, the people in Jasmine Town are much less afraid of the Zhang family, and they all stand up to accuse the Zhang family of being tyrannical and domineering, bullying men and women.

But Ding Yan thought about all the people who had a grudge against the Zhang family, but he didn't find the ability to kill all the one hundred and eight members of the Zhang family overnight.

The people in the town are ordinary people, and Zhang Jiaguang has a lot of guards, so it is not easy for them to start, and this poison is not easy to get.

It was almost impossible to find out when the matter got here, but the people of Dali Temple soon discovered it and found a secret passage in Zhang's house.

The secret passage is on a rockery, and this secret passage leads directly to the back mountain of Zhangjia, and when Ding Yan went to the secret room dug out of the back mountain, as well as the weapons of the several large warehouses placed in the secret room, he immediately paid attention to it.

Zhang's private collection of so many weapons, is it not that he wants to rebel!

If the master behind the Zhang family wanted to rebel, Jasmine Town was only more than twenty miles away from Kyoto City, and there were so many weapons, thinking of this, Ding Yan's cold sweat fell.

If it weren't for the crooked fight of the Zhou family brothers and sisters this time, it would have been found out that the Zhang family had sent someone over, and there was no news of the person sent, so Zhou Yu entered the palace and asked the emperor for help.

The people behind the Zhang family were afraid that things would change, so they poisoned the Zhang family.

Ding Yan pondered for a while, and thought about the ins and outs of the whole thing.

The matter has been thought out clearly, but who is the victim of this Zhang family, and I have to go back and investigate those officials in Kyoto City.

Ding Yan left someone to watch the Zhang family, so he hurried back to Kyoto City, and entered the palace without even taking care of eating.

When the emperor heard Ding Yan's report, he was directly angry, and slapped his palm on the table in front of him.

"It's so bold to turn them on! I want to rebel! If you give me a hard investigation, you must find out the person behind it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that there are many officials in Kyoto City, and I'm afraid that some people won't cooperate."

When the emperor heard this, he took a sign directly from the table and threw it in front of Ding Yan.

"When I see this token, it's like I'm there."

That's what Ding Yan wants.

"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will definitely find out about this matter."

Ding Yan left with the token.

And in Cao's mansion, Cao Ge Lao has been paying attention to the palace, as well as the situation of Ding Yan of Dali Temple going to Jasmine Town, and seeing him go directly to the palace after returning to Kyoto City, he knew that the things he put in Jasmine Town might not be able to be saved.

His heart hurts and wants to drip blood, you must know that he is not young now, and he doesn't know if he can live until that day, but if he is let go like this, he is really unwilling.

Cao Ge always thought about it, walked to the window of the study, pushed open the window in front of him, and saw the begonia in the yard.

Although it is no longer the season for begonia flowers to bloom, Cao Ge Lao seems to have seen the begonia flowers blooming all over the tree again, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl under the tree smiled at him and called him Brother Ji sweetly.
