Fang Baishi stood at the door of Joy Villa, hesitating to go in. He didn't want to come to this place because he looked down on people like Cao Yi.

is obviously a martial arts family, but he started a businessman. It's just that such a person is rich enough to rival the country, and he can still be a marquis and an official, and his status is far higher than that of Fang Baishi, a person who fights with a sword and a sword. Fang Baishi was very depressed about this.

But his heart was always filled with the secret in Liu Dongquan and Chen Ao's mouth. Fang Baishi learned from Chen Ao that Cao Yi also knew about it, and Liu Dongquan was dead, so he could obviously only come to ask Cao Yi.

He gritted his teeth and stepped through the door. Elder Mo had already received the report from his subordinates, and as soon as he saw Fang Baishi enter the door, he immediately greeted him, with a smile on his face, and said, "Lord Fang also has time to come to our mountain villa!"

Fang Baishi calmed his face, waved his hand, and asked, "Where is the owner of your family?"

Elder Mo said with a smile: "Lord Fang, the people of Joy Mountain Villa are all law-abiding and good people, and they operate legally. If you have any official business, I'm afraid you've found the wrong place here! I advise you to check elsewhere to avoid wasting time!"

When the Joy Villa was just established, Fang Baishi had sent someone to investigate, which caused Cao Yi's secret plan to be greatly impacted. In fact, this was not Fang Baishi's intention to target them, but that every minister of the imperial court was under the supervision of the Imperial City Division. Cao Yi made such a big move and had such a big impact in the capital, Fang Baishi naturally had to investigate it carefully.

Fang Baishi knew that Elder Mo must still remember the unhappiness of that time, so he didn't explain much, and said, "I have a little personal matter with the owner of your family......

Before the words fell, Cao Yi was dressed in a Shu brocade robe, Shi Shiran walked over, and said with a smile as he walked: "Master Fang's visit has made the Joy Villa shine!

As he spoke, he led Fang Baishi towards Baiwei Tower. After all, Cao Yi was jealous of the other party's Baishi, and it was impossible to lead him to the small courtyard on the mountainside. The two entered the private room on the highest floor of Baiwei Building, Cao Yi glanced at Elder Mo and the others who followed behind him, and sneered: "Hou Ye Cao, come alone, is there anything else to be afraid of Hou Ye on his own territory?"

When Cao Yi heard this, he knew that Fang Baishi had something to say to himself alone. He waved his hand and motioned for Elder Mo to stand down, but said, "Lord Fang's martial arts are very strong, how can I compare with my lord?"

Fang Baishi snorted and entered the room to sit down opposite Cao Yi. The maid brought the tea, and closed the door when she went out. Cao Yi smiled and said, "I have already commanded, without my order, no one will come to disturb me." If Lord Fang has anything to say, you can say it now, right?"

Fang Baishi asked straight to the point: "Hou Ye Cao, I just want to know one thing here, and I ask Hou Ye to tell me truthfully." ”

Cao Yi frowned and said with a smile: "Lord Fang is in charge of the Imperial City Division, there is still something to ask me?"

Fang Baishi ignored his cynicism and continued to ask, "Chen Ao and Liu Dongquan both know a secret, what is it?"

Cao Yi's face changed, and he immediately knew that the secret Fang Baishi said must be Zhao Ling's life experience. Cao Yi didn't want to rebel, so it didn't mean much to him. But he knew that once this secret was known, Chen Ao would definitely be killed.

The most important thing for Cao Yi now is to test the "drugs" he has refined on Chen Ao. He didn't want Fang Baishi or anyone else to come out and ruin his plans.

So Cao Yi smiled and said, "What Lord Fang said, I didn't understand it at the next point. ”

Fang Baishi said in a deep voice: "Master Cao, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people. If I wasn't completely sure, I wouldn't have come to the door. ”

Cao Yi clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Lord Fang, you learned this secret from Liu Dongquan, why did you come to ask me if you were willing to go near and far?"

Fang Baishi thought to himself, if Liu Dongquan can still open his mouth, why should I ask you?

He sighed and said, "Liu Dongquan has already committed suicide by biting his tongue in prison. Marquis Cao, I made a special trip to ask you for advice, because I was worried that this secret would be unfavorable to the imperial court. Master Hou, you are also an official in the court, you should be able to understand my painstaking efforts, right?"

Cao Yi watched Fang Baishi act with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Lord Fang means that Chen Ao will be detrimental to the imperial court, isn't it so exaggerated?"

Fang Baishi said: "The Hou Ye has lived in the villa for a long time, so he must not know much about the affairs of the court. Chen Ao claims to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he doesn't know how to gain His Majesty's favor, and now he seems to be the hottest figure. If such a person has a bad heart, wouldn't it be dangerous to want to do something unfavorable to His Majesty? Moreover...... Master Hou, you are also from the martial arts, aren't you worried that Chen Ao, the so-called leader of the martial arts alliance, will become the emperor's new favorite and endanger your status?"

Cao Yi laughed and said, "Lord Fang, you have also seen that I am now sitting on a huge mountain villa, making money every day, who can endanger my status?" He paused and said, "Lord Fang, it is you who are really worried about Chen Ao's status, right?"

Fang Baishi's face sank. He used to be very disdainful of Cao Yi, and always thought that this person was just a philistine businessman, but he didn't expect Cao Yi to have such a sharp vision.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cao Yi said with emotion: "I really can't figure it out, Lord Fang, you have also been rolling in the court for decades, how can you be so jealous of a hairy boy who has just arrived? Lord Fang, haven't you heard a saying, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes?"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and never looked at Fang Baishi again. Fang Baishi knew that Cao Yi would never tell the truth again, so he snorted heavily, Huo Ran got up, and strode away. He hadn't even touched the cup of tea on the table. Cao Yi couldn't help but sneer disdainfully.

Fang Baishi walked out of Baiwei Building angrily, and only then did he feel a little angry when the night breeze blew. He really couldn't understand why Cao Yi refused to tell this secret. Even though he already knew what was at stake, Cao Yi was still unmoved.

Fang Baishi led the horse and pondered as he descended the mountain. Wasn't Cao Yi worried that Chen Ao would endanger his position, or was he already in collusion with Chen Ao?

Thinking of this, Fang Baishi paused, suddenly thought of what Cao Yi said, his eyes lit up, and secretly thought, that's right, Kou Zhun made it clear that he had some festivals with Chen Ao on the Golden Palace, could it be that Kou Zhun also knew something? Liu Dongquan wanted to put Chen Ao to death several times, and even did not hesitate to make such a big move. Where did he come from such great courage and such deep scheming for a small commander? There must be someone behind him! Since this person is not Cao Yi, can it be said that he ...... Is it Kou Zhun?

Thinking of this, Fang Baishi suddenly stepped onto the horse, flicked the horsewhip, and galloped into the night.
