Chapter 44 Become bigger and stronger and create greater glory [Added to the most pure leader
Even】
Looking at the familiar figure in front of me.
Xu Qingxiao only felt that the road between enemies was narrow.
Inexplicably, Xu Qingxiao felt that this Cheng Lidong was his old enemy?
Counting it all together, we have met three times, and every time we met, we were looking for trouble.
For a moment, Xu Qingxiao felt inexplicably emotional, she still couldn't be too pretentious.
Wu Yan pretended to be cool in front of him, but the result should be nothing.
"I have met many great talents."
The appearance of Cheng Lidong ahead did not frighten Xu Qingxiao.
Today is not what it used to be. Being famous has its disadvantages, but it also has its advantages. If it had been a few days ago, Xu Qingxiao would have been a little scared when she saw Cheng Lidong.
But it's different now.
Not to mention that the Fujun had given the order, leaving Cheng Lidong to investigate secretly. Even if the Fujun had not given the order, Cheng Lidong would not dare to touch him.
After the banquet, who in the entire Nanyu Mansion didn’t know Xu Qingxiao?
If he really dares to touch Cheng Lidong, apart from other things, the entire literati in Nanyu Mansion will not let him go.
"Mr. Cheng, you are too polite. I cannot afford to be a great talent."
Xu Qingxiao looked calm, cupped her hands and smiled.
"Nowadays, in the entire Nanyu Mansion, who doesn't know Xu Qingxiao? How can he not be able to bear the name of Xu Qingxiao?"
Cheng Lidong smiled, but his face was so pale that it was uncomfortable to smile.
"Master Cheng, I still have something to do. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Xu Qingxiao was not in the mood to argue with Cheng Lidong here. Business flattery also depends on the person, and Cheng Lidong was not worthy of him.
"Brother Xu is a little unkind. We know each other anyway. Are you afraid of Cheng in leaving in such a hurry?"
Cheng Lidong stopped in front, it seemed he had something to say.
"It's not that I'm in a hurry. The imperial examination is coming soon. The most important thing is to go back and prepare as soon as possible. I don't want to delay it."
Xu Qingxiao smiled and answered naturally.
"Understood."
"But I don't know if I can spare Brother Xu half a quarter of an hour. I want to chat with Brother Xu for a while."
Cheng Lidong made it clear that something was wrong. Xu Qingxiao remained silent for a while, but instead of being tough, he spoke.
"Master Cheng said."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
"This is not the place to talk. Brother Xu, please."
Cheng Lidong made a request.
Xu Qingxiao didn't say much and followed him.
Soon he turned left and right again and came to the outside of a house.
Cheng Lidong opened the door of the house and walked in.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao took a look at the house. It was larger than the house just now, and the land price in Nanyu Mansion seemed not cheap.
He is scanning the house.
Cheng Lidong turned around, noticed Xu Qingxiao's gaze, and couldn't help but speak.
"This is a house handed down from my ancestors. However, I work as an errand on a regular basis and don't live there much. It's a bit deserted and there isn't even tea. I hope Brother Xu can forgive me."
Cheng Lidong opened his mouth to explain.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Qingxiao's eyes.
He was a little sad. He thought this was the residence where Cheng Lidong came from corruption and perverting the law. The laws of the Wei Dynasty had more than a hundred penalties for official corruption, and any one of them could make Cheng Lidong shed his skin.
Now that he heard it was his ancestral home, Xu Qingxiao was naturally a little disappointed.
"Master Cheng, just tell me if you have anything to do. Xu really has to go back to prepare for the government examination."
Since no evidence could be collected, Xu Qingxiao didn't want to waste time.
Talk about something.
"Okay, Brother Xu is a smart man, so Cheng will not beat around the bush."
"Is the thing in your hand?"
Cheng Lidong asked Xu Qingxiao with a smile on his face.
"Twelve."
Xu Qingxiao stretched out her hand and spoke slowly.
"What's the meaning?"
Cheng Lidong frowned, he didn't understand what Xu Qingxiao meant.
"To answer people's questions, collect money from them, and give answers in ten taels."
Xu Qingxiao is very direct. He has a bad relationship with Cheng Lidong, so he has to answer questions. Isn’t his time money?
Although he thought Xu Qingxiao was a little weird, Cheng Lidong still took out a banknote with a face value of ten taels.
"Not here."
Xu Qingxiao shook her head.
"Hey Brother Xu, I haven't said what it is yet, why did Brother Xu just say it's not there? Does Brother Xu know what it is?"
Cheng Lidong smiled.
However, Xu Qingxiao stretched out her hand again.
"Twelve."
Cheng Lidong:
He was a little angry, but Cheng Lidong didn't talk nonsense and still took out ten taels of silver notes and gave them to Xu Qingxiao.
After receiving the banknote, Xu Qingxiao continued to speak.
"have no idea."
Xu Qingxiao replied.
Cheng Lidong:
Don’t you know you want ten taels of silver from me?
No, it's twenty taels.
Do you think this is fun?
"Brother Xu, we are all smart people. Since I came to see Brother Xu, I do so with sincerity. Before Wu Yan died, he had been in contact with you and he had already given you the things."
"But I can conclude that you must not know what this is, but I can tell you that this thing is of great significance and is related to a treasure."
"Brother Xu, I can tell you clearly that this thing can change the fate of you and me. If you are willing, we can work together, and I will never mention your practice of magic again."
"how?"
Cheng Lidong spoke very quickly and at the same time speculated on things very accurately.
However, Xu Qingxiao did not hesitate and stretched out her hand again.
"Twelve."
Cheng Lidong:
"That's enough. If Brother Xu is pretending to be crazy like this, don't blame Cheng for getting to the bottom of it."
"Although Brother Xu has now become famous in Southern Henan, for the crime of practicing strange arts, even if you become a great Confucian, you will not be able to escape the death penalty."
"Also, Brother Xu gave up martial arts and followed literature. After much thought, I wanted to suppress the demonic nature through Confucian awe-inspiring righteousness."
"The fact that you recovered without treatment in Ping'an County cannot be explained clearly, and then you abandoned martial arts and followed literature, suppressing the demonic nature through Haoran's righteousness. Although I have never heard of this, it is reasonable."
"These two points alone are enough to make Brother Xu fearful, but as long as you and I cooperate, I can be honest and do my best to help Brother Xu, and Brother Xu will also help me."
"Also, I, Cheng, don't have any extra silver."
Cheng Lidong was a little angry.
I had a serious discussion with Xu Qingxiao, but Xu Qingxiao pretended to be crazy and answered that it was only ten taels of silver at a time. My monthly salary was only ten taels of silver, which was equivalent to two months of salary that was all wasted by Xu Qingxiao.
How not to be angry?
well.
Hearing Cheng Lidong say that he had no money, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that Wei Dynasty was really poor. A household of almost 100 could only afford twenty taels of silver.
It should be difficult to collect evidence of Cheng Lidong's corruption.
Sighed.
Xu Qingxiao shook her head and said: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Xu didn't understand a word of what you just said, but Mr. Xu is willing to conduct a secret investigation for Mr. Cheng, but the investigation requires funds."
"If nothing else, after all, Xu has worked as a clerk and has some experience. As long as the funds are sufficient, we will try to investigate clearly."
Xu Qingxiao said seriously.
"Are you kidding me?"
Cheng Lidong's eyes turned cold and he stared at Xu Qingxiao.
Feeling Cheng Lidong's gaze, Xu Qingxiao wanted to nod, but considering her lack of strength, she still swallowed her breath.
"Xu actually thinks that Mr. Cheng is playing tricks on me."
Xu Qingxiao answered very calmly.
Cheng Lidong obviously thinks he is a fool, right?
cooperate?
How to cooperate?
I cooperate first and give you the things, and then when the cooperation is over, you kill me.
Absolutely.
It is unimaginable that the small Nanyu Mansion would have your Wolong.
"Brother Xu, I know you have a prejudice against Cheng, but before, you were always following orders."
"Brother Xu, I can tell you that Wu Yan's things are extremely valuable, but with your own efforts, you will never be able to get them, and it may even lead to death."
"Cooperating with me is your best choice."
"And I can make an oath to live and die together, and I will never harm you."
"One more thing, now you follow the lineage of Confucianism and Taoism, and your future will be infinitely good. I follow the lineage of martial arts. They have nothing to do with each other, but they can make up for each other. There are some things that you can't do well, and I, Cheng, can do it for Brother Xu.
"
"Brother Xu only needs to secure his position in the court and pull some strings, and you and I should cooperate internally and externally. I will be the greatest general, and you will be the greatest civil servant. When the time comes, the entire Wei Dynasty will be decided by you and me. Wouldn't it be great?"
Cheng Lidong said seriously and even started to draw a picture to describe the future.
To be honest, Xu Qingxiao was surprised.
Good guy.
Good guy.
This pie painting ability is too strong.
If I give you another rifle and I build an AK, step by step, wouldn't it be possible to become bigger and stronger and dominate the country?
There is a saying that when it comes to ambition, Cheng Lidong is simply the most ambitious person Xu Qingxiao has ever seen.
A family of nearly 100 people dreams of unifying the country.
If it weren't for this guy's bad behavior, Xu Qingxiao would really have the idea to cooperate with him.
Nothing more than fancying his ambition.
"Brother Xu, what do you think?"
At this time, Cheng Lidong continued to ask, his voice lowered a lot, and he looked at Xu Qingxiao expectantly.
Xu Qingxiao was silent, just glanced at the sky, and then said slowly.
"It's half a quarter of an hour, Mr. Cheng, see you by chance."
After saying this, Xu Qingxiao turned and left.
He doesn't want to stay here anymore.
This Cheng Lidong was already crazy. Even if he was crazy, he still regarded himself as a fool. Xu Qingxiao couldn't bear this.
"Brother Xu, listen to me."
"Brother Xu."
Cheng Lidong didn't expect Xu Qingxiao to leave so decisively, so he shouted several times.
Xu Qingxiao ran away directly.
He muttered some weird words.
Why don't you listen? The bastard is chanting sutras.
Cheng Lidong was left stunned on the spot.
A full half-quarter of an hour later.
In the house.
Cheng Lidong clenched his fists and stared ahead with terrifyingly cold eyes.
"Xu Qingxiao."
"I've already given you a chance."
His voice was like a mosquito, but his eyes were like volcanoes, full of anger.
He hates.
I hate why I don’t believe in myself.
He is angry.
Angrily, Xu Qingxiao pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool.
Why.
Why.
Why don't you believe me?
Cheng Lidong clenched his fists.
Almost at the same moment.
Cheng Lidong and Xu Qingxiao both had an idea in their minds.
Kill him.
Since Xu Qingxiao was unwilling to cooperate, Cheng Lidong stopped thinking. He must find evidence of Xu Qingxiao's practice of strange arts, otherwise it would be difficult to vent his anger.
Xu Qingxiao's thoughts were very pure.
He was uneasy if Cheng Lidong did not die.
This is a ruthless man and a lunatic. If you cooperate with him, you will be seeking skin from a tiger. If you don't cooperate, he will bite you like a mad dog.
So simply let him disappear.
As for how to make Cheng Lidong disappear, we have to think about it slowly.
