Cao Ben did not dare to refuse Xie Chen. This veteran of two dynasties always had cold eyes when admonishing the emperor in the court, neither humble nor arrogant. Now staring at him like this made him panic. He was afraid that he might have offended the censor. From now on,
From now on, I will be targeted, and I will always be afraid of being impeached.
But Cao Ben did not forget the instructions given to him by the Tutor. This time he came to bring down the Feng family. The manpower given to him by the Tutor was all used for this purpose. Otherwise, when he returned to Beijing, he would not be able to appeal to the Taifu.
Fu explained.
Cao Ben thought of this and whispered: "Don't worry, sir, I will make arrangements right away, but... I have to send my entourage to deliver the letter. The letter has been delivered, but I don't know when the troops will arrive."
Xie Chen said coldly: "How big is the entire Taozhou city?"
"They are all from the Feng family," Cao Bendao, "I want to be under the Feng family's nose..."
Xie Chen's face became increasingly ugly, and Cao Ben did not dare to say any more: "I will do it immediately."
Xie Chen looked at Cao Ben with twinkling eyes, fearing that he was looking for an excuse to be lazy, so he pulled Cao Ben out to find the two followers.
The two attendants had arranged their horses, carried the salute on their backs, and were looking for their master. After walking a few steps, several people met them. Cao Ben immediately took out a letter from his arms and gave it to the attendant: "Go and find a Qu."
Sir, the transfer envoy I told you in the capital told Sir Qu to come immediately with troops and horses to prevent any changes."
The entourage looked at Cao Ben, and Cao Ben blinked. The two of them had made an agreement a long time ago, and they understood it immediately.
When the entourage left, Cao Ben looked at Xie Chen: "Master Xie, Qu Zhuan Envoy is currently closest to Taozhou City. Although this matter is not under his control, Master Zhao has arrested too many people. If there is a real trouble, the consequences will be
It’s unthinkable, so we can only mobilize troops and horses from him.”
Nod gratefully.
Cao Bendao: "I hope Lord Qu can come soon."
Xie Chen didn't respond, turned around and walked back.
"Thank you, Sir," Cao Ben chased, "Why did you go back again?"
As Cao Ben spoke, he carefully paid attention to Xie Chen's expression. He was afraid that Xie Chen might have discovered some clues. He just told his followers not to find Master Qu too quickly.
If what he expected was correct, what the Feng family had done was about to be exposed. Originally, it would have been a good thing for them to step in and completely prove the Feng family's crimes. However, if the matter went to court, the Feng family might accuse them of deliberately framed, because of the false accusations.
Your Excellency is a member of the Taifu Party, and many people in the court know it.
It was actually beneficial for them to stay out of the matter. The Feng family could not find the fault of their Taifu Party and could not attack them.
In short, don't get the slightest stain on your body at this time, so that the master can speak more confidently.
Besides, there needs to be chaos in the city. The bigger the chaos, the harder it will be for the Feng family to stand up.
A few people died, civil unrest broke out, Zhao Jingyun and the Feng family were both punished, and finally the Taifu and the Emperor came to clean up the mess in Taozhou.
After sending everyone away together, Taozhou can be considered clean and tidy.
Leaving Zhao Jingyun behind would lead to endless troubles. It would not be easy to persuade Zhao Jingyun to obey the order of the Grand Tutor.
Xie Chen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and Cao Ben almost ran into him unexpectedly.
Xie Chen frowned and turned to stare at Cao Ben: "Will Envoy Qu really come?"
Cao Ben nodded: "What I asked someone to send was the Taifu's post. Logically speaking..."
"Humph," Xie Chen said, "When will you come?"
Cao Ben finally managed to hold back a few words: "It should be as soon as possible."
"Do you really expect him to come as soon as possible?" Xie Chen said, "Don't you think it would be better to wait a little longer and make the situation more chaotic?"
Cao Ben showed a look of surprise, and then said solemnly: "Master Xie, why do you think so? Even if you don't believe in me, you believe in the Taifu, right? The Taifu is devoted to Daqi, and you can see how difficult it is every day in court.
In my eyes, this time I was able to follow you to Taozhou, and I tried every means to get such an opportunity under the Feng family's nose."
"I wanted to understand before I came here. No matter how difficult it is this time, I have to investigate clearly. If you feel that I have done something wrong, you can go to the court to impeach me, but you can't make unreasonable suspicions here."
Xie Chen looked at Cao Ben, and the images of the Taifu's people appeared in front of his eyes. They were all so clean and honest, as if there were no flaws at all.
Even if a party dispute is provoked, it is still due to helplessness.
In the past, he felt that the Taifu was worthy of being a minister of the late emperor, but now he became more and more doubtful. Maybe he was old and had seen too much, and every move could not escape his eyes.
Xie Chen said: "Then I hope Master Qu can arrive early."
Zhao Luoyang turned his head and saw Xie Chen coming back, and said to Shi Jiu in his mind: "It seems like what the little mute said, they will not find reinforcements so quickly, and that Xie Yushi will be disappointed
' and 'dissatisfaction' are written on his face."
After Zhao Luoyang said this, he suddenly became speechless.
"What?" Shi Jiu asked, "Afraid?"
"No," Zhao Luoyang said, "It has already been arranged. Giving them a chance is just to see how they are. Not only do we want to see it, but the princesses in the village also want to see it. It's all clear now.
"
"I just think it's been really hard for the little mute these years."
Shi Jiu felt happy and sour at the same time, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just when Shi Jiu was distracted, Zhao Luoyang's eyes happened to pass by the system panel and saw the constantly fluctuating charm value.
[Charm value +16]
[Charm value +16]
…
She immediately looked at the charm value details, which were all unknown charm values.
The unknown charm value had appeared several times, and she had roughly guessed it. Anyone who was related to the little mute would give her an unknown charm value.
This includes Mama Chen, Huaiguang, Huaiqing and others.
The sudden upgrade of the system was also due to the sudden increase in unknown charm value, which made her charm value directly reach the upgrade standard.
She asked Huaiqing, and Huaiqing and his people were guarding him outside the village that night, so she was almost certain that the wave of charm was given by Huaiqing.
Now she thought of the little mute. She mentioned the difficulty of the little mute, and her charm suddenly increased so much. She didn't need to think about it, and it was definitely related to the little mute, but she didn't believe it was because of the little mute or Huaiqing and the others, who were suddenly here.
I always think of her.
There can be no such coincidence.
So, why did the charm value suddenly increase?
If the little mute heard what she said, his emotions might fluctuate, but only Shi Jiu could hear her words.
An idea suddenly came to Zhao Luoyang's mind.
But...it's really unlikely...
How could Shi Jiu be related to the little mute?
Refuting to himself, Zhao Luoyang still calmly withdrew from the depths of his mind to avoid being noticed by Shi Jiu.
Just as Xie Chen came back, Zhao Luoyang looked at Xie Chen: "Master, we are going to Ding's house, do you want to go with us?"
Xie Chen said: "What can you do?" He could understand the men in the village, but the women...
Zhao Luoyang said: "Let's go rescue people! I heard from my father and others before that the bandits captured a lot of women's families. What if there are also people imprisoned in those families?"
"There are really women who have been trafficked. We can still help."
After hearing this, Xie Chen decided to go with the girl. The reinforcements requested by Cao Ben might not be able to arrive, and these people might be in danger. At the critical moment, he showed his official documents and official seal, hoping that they would be of some use.
Xie Chen said: "I heard that women are sold in Taozhou, is it true?"
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "We met on the way to Taozhou. It's true. If it weren't for Mr. Zhao, I don't know how many people would have been sold to Tibet."
Zhao Luoyang helped Mrs. Yang up, and several others followed Ding Maosheng and others forward.
…
Cha Shuo, who was in the crowd, watched as the figures of Mrs. Yang and Zhao Luoyang gradually disappeared. He then glanced at the two men beside Zhao Luoyang, who were officials from Beijing.
Cha Shuo's face was tense. Are these people really coming to Taozhou to find out the truth? From his point of view, it seems like they are watching a show. He has to send the news back. If there is really trouble, it is up to the clan leader to decide whether they should
