After Pei Caibao left the Autumn Leaf Grass Hall, he was alone and headed north.

At this time, it was already the right time, the cold wind was blowing, the night was lonely, and most of the people in Chang'an City, whether it was wealthy families or ordinary people, were already asleep.

From time to time, the forbidden army that checked the curfew stepped forward, and the leading chief was about to shout loudly, when he saw the golden tiger card in Pei Caibao's hand, he was immediately frightened and retreated quietly......

Half an hour later, he walked into Cuiyun Building, the most famous brothel in Chang'an City.

Because it is the most famous brothel, it is still welcoming customers until the curfew. And at this time, the person who dares to come to the brothel is naturally extraordinary.

After Pei Caibao entered Cuiyun Building, he was led by the old bustard into a private room at the easternmost end of the second floor.

As soon as he walked in, he closed the door, and hurriedly bowed to Li Zuo, the king of Han who was sitting in front of him, and said, "Sixth Master, I've kept you waiting!"

"Did you tell him?" asked Li Zuo when Pei Caibao was seated.

"I told him, I expect that tomorrow morning, his fold will be sent to the Ouchi, and when the time comes, Sixth Master, you will have a good show to watch......" Pei Caibao replied.

Li Zuo took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The show has just begun, so let's be bored, we have been bored for so long, and we finally have something to do next." ”

Pei Caibao said: "Sixth master, what kind of people do you say are under the hands of the King of Chu? Obviously, they are all taking refuge under the door of the same master, but they still have to pay and accept bribes to each other! Moreover, their masters don't know at all!"

Li Zuo sneered: "My eldest brother thinks he is smart, for so many years, he has recruited talents, bribed ministers, formed parties for personal gain, and bent the law for bribes, and has done everything he can...... They are all stupid! Even if he tries his best to bring down the second brother, what is the use! In the end, it is still my fourth brother, who will reap the benefits!"

Pei Caibao said: "What the sixth master said is reasonable, the last time Sun Xun assassinated the King of Wei, it was just because of the good luck of the king of Chu, in the end, Sun Xun was all over the house, and he was unharmed! Unexpectedly, even if Shen Huan presented a secret letter, it would be useless, cough ......."

Li Zuo said: "That secret letter, I don't know who wrote it, I'm afraid he didn't expect it, the old man was scheming, and this letter was sent, but the effect was counterproductive!"

Pei Caibao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Sixth Master, right now, I have followed your instructions to let the King of Chu and the King of Wei, the people on both sides fight, what do you think should be done next?"

Li Zuo smiled: "It's good to fight, I'm afraid that I won't have a good show here......! Let's wait and see what happens, and if necessary, you can add some more oil and fan the wind, so that they can fight as hard as possible......"

"Good...... The subordinates know!" Pei Caibao nodded again and again, and the two raised their glasses and drank a large sip of wine.

......

After Li Zuo left, the old bustard naturally sent two girls to Pei Caibao. However, this time, Pei Caibao played a little happily.

But this time, several times before, Pei Caibao came to this Cuiyun Building, and he came with joy and returned with defeat......

It turned out that since the 27th and 28th of January for two consecutive nights, Pei Caibao has been with Ah Zhu and Ah Ju in Cuiyun Tower. After that, he became obsessed with the wonderful taste of those two "bearded girls".

Although there are many bearded girls in Chang'an City, they can be like Ah Zhu and Ah Ju, with a slender posture, hidden thousands of customs between their eyebrows, and a faint fragrance in their bodies, but where to find them! Pei Caibao originally wanted to ransom people with the old bustard, but he was worried that he was a thousand households with four grades after all, and he was afraid that it would have a bad reputation if he spread it. In addition, for two days in a row, he led people to search the whole city, looking for the traces of Luoyang and others, so he didn't care about going to Cuiyun Tower again.

On the night of the first day of February, Pei Caibao was reluctant to give up, so he made up his mind and took the silver to ransom people in Cuiyun Tower. Unexpectedly, the old bustard told him that Ah Zhu and Ah Ju had been ransomed for a high price of 1,000 taels of silver last night......

Hearing that the woman he had played with was ransomed by someone else, Pei Caibao couldn't help but be furious in his heart. He asked what it was who had such courage. The old bustard refused to say the person's name at first, but in the end, Pei Qianhu couldn't force it, so he reported the person's name.

Pei Caibao was about to vent the raging anger in his chest, but after hearing the man's name, he had to quietly disappear.

It was a name he couldn't afford to provoke in the capital: Shangshu of the Great Cadre Punishment Department, Xiao Yihong.

Although he can't afford to provoke Xiao Yihong, Pei Caibao is a person who loves to hold grudges. After that, every time he came to Cuiyun Tower, he thought that the woman he liked fell into the hands of Xiao Yihong, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for that Shangshu for no reason.

It is estimated that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department never dreamed that he just spent money to redeem two Qinglou women, and he actually had such a big grudge with a Nan'an Pingsi Qianhu......

Mingli couldn't fight Xiao Yihong, so Pei Caibao secretly controlled and ordered his right-hand man to closely monitor Xiao Yihong's every move around the clock from morning to noon, from day to night.

Finally, on the night of February 12, he got a good news that Zhao Yong actually sent Xiao Yihong a huge bribe of 8,000 taels of silver in order to save his son!

Pei Caibao reported the news to Li Zuo, the king of Han, overnight. Li Zuo was overjoyed when he heard this, but he asked Pei Caibao to continue to track and trace, and not to write for impeachment for the time being. In Li Zuo's heart, there is naturally another plan......

Until he found out that Xiao Yihong had already written to impeach Qiu Mingli, Li Zuo suddenly felt that the time was ripe, so he ordered Pei Caibao to rush to the Autumn Leaf Grass Hall in the starry night and informed Qiu Mingli of Xiao Yihong's huge bribes.

Li Zuo naturally thought that his subordinates had inadvertently found out about Xiao Yihong's lawlessness. Where would he have thought that the original cause of this incident was the two "Hu Girls" he gave to Pei Caibao. If he knew that Pei Qianhu's achievements today were all because of the two Qinglou women in the past, I am afraid that he would not be able to cry or laugh.

At this time, Pei Cai was in the Cuiyun Building, warming the bed and smoking the pillow, and the beautiful woman was hugging, but he was still happy. And Li Zuo rode in a car that could not be afforded

In the carriage of his eyes, he returned home alone in the endless cold wind of the night, but his heart was surging and excited inexplicably. He grinded his fists and clapped his palms, eager to try, and said secretly: "Big brother, fourth brother, you hurry up...... Let's fight!"

......

[February 16, 71st year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, Si Shi, in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace]

After Emperor Li Chongsheng descended to the court, he called Sun Shunde, the chief minister, in.

There are two books in front of the imperial case, one is Xiao Yihong's impeachment of Qiu Mingli, and the other is Qiu Mingli's impeachment of Xiao Yihong.

Both of them are the emperor's ministers, one is in charge of the criminal department and the other is in charge of the household department, which can be called the pillars of the country and the temple cardinal. The two Shangshu actually impeached each other at the same time. This has been extremely rare for the past few decades.

Regardless of whether what these two men said was true or not, it was the people behind them who worried the emperor. Everyone in the dynasty knows that Xiao Yihong is the confidant of the great prince King Chu, and Qiu Mingli is the teacher of the fourth prince King Wei.

These two princes are now the Prince of Jiuzhu, and one person is above 10,000 people. Moreover, the old emperor has not yet established a prince, and there is no doubt that these two princes are also the most popular candidates for the new prince.

In this context, there were two important ministers of the third rank at the same time, attacking each other, is this a pure coincidence, or is it ......

"Shunde, you have been with me for more than forty years, what do you think of this matter?" asked the emperor's eldest grandson, Shunde, who was sitting in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter is related to the two princes of our dynasty, and they are both the princes of Jiuzhu, so we must not be cautious......!

Li Chongsheng couldn't help but ask again: "According to your meaning, the big thing is turned into a small one, and ...... it can't be over?"

The eldest grandson, Shunde, hurriedly said: "Naturally, the investigation must be investigated, and it must be investigated to the end! After all, everything they have done is detrimental to the program of the dynasty and to the state system, and the law cannot tolerate or forgive it! If it is verified, no matter who it is, it must be dealt with strictly according to law......

Li Chongsheng interjected: "What do you mean...... Who should you send to investigate, and choose one carefully?"

The eldest grandson Shunde hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian! The old minister thinks that this person who investigates the case must have a noble identity, after all, two old and important ministers are involved, Dali Temple and Yushitai, I am afraid they can't be suppressed, it is better to be a prince." In addition, he has nothing to do with the king of Chu and the king of Wei......"

Li Chongsheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "My sons, the second is not a good thing, the third is good, but he will definitely be biased towards the fourth." According to what you said, there are two people, and I think they are very suitable! Sixth, eighth...... But which one to send?"

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Your Majesty, the King of Han and the King of Jin are both the status of the Prince of Wuzhu, and their character is valuable, and both of them have good names in the court. The old minister felt that these two highnesses ...... It doesn't matter who you send, you can do it!"

"Hmm...... After all, Xi'er is ordered to supervise the household department, and there is still some involvement. Li Chongsheng immediately made a decision, and the matter was settled.
