Chapter 363: Evil people need to be punished by evil people
Although Yuzhu left with the small hammer, he left two people behind.
One of them is Zhao Donghe, the newly appointed magistrate of Tongzhou, and the other is Wailang Wendena, a member of the infantry commanding yamen.
Zhao Donghe, who was originally Yuzhu's senior brother, has now become his disciple and is willing to serve as a pawn.
Wen De Na, Zhu Gong’s great secret!
The man took his son into the palace, and Cao Chun took charge of the overall situation.
However, there were too many things in the Cao family, and even when it was dark, they only moved a small part of them.
Cao Chun felt very unhappy. Her man, Yuzhu, had such a prominent family background, but he had never been so publicized before.
However, Cao Chun's mother-in-law's family was afraid that others would not know how wealthy the Cao family was, and completely forgot about the simple principle of "don't show off your wealth".
Li was so distressed that her daughter, whom she was originally so proud of, turned into a hairless phoenix. She held Cao Yi's hand and whispered endlessly, completely forgetting the time.
Not only did Cao Chun and Li have no mother-daughter affection, but they had long-standing grudges.
To put it bluntly, Cao Chun's treatment of weeds in the Cao family was caused by Li himself.
Over here, Li and Cao Yi were forgetful and hugging each other and crying.
Over there, Cao Chun's biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was also with her daughter.
Aunt Zhao asked Cao Chun in a low voice: "Have you ever mastered the cards in the house?"
Cao Chun curled his lips secretly, his mother's level was still ridiculously low.
After so many years, Aunt Zhao has not made any progress at all. She always asks about the right cards.
Matching cards, in the homes of wealthy families in this era, the mistress who presides over the middle gifts has the ability to go out, run errands, and receive money or things as tokens.
To put it bluntly, if there is no right card, everyone in the inner house will not only be unable to leave the house, but also will not be able to get any money or goods from the accounting room or warehouse.
The right card is the token of the mistress of the house.
There is no way, no matter how short-sighted Aunt Zhao is, she is still Cao Chun's biological mother, so she can't be angry, she can't be angry!
Cao Chun took a deep breath, put on a smile and said, "Auntie, the money from the Hou Mansion is enough for your daughter to spend."
"Tell me, how much money do you have?" Aunt Zhao patted her chest with joy and hurriedly asked Cao Chun.
Cao Chun secretly rolled his eyes, took a deep breath again, and whispered: "There must be one hundred thousand taels of silver."
She deliberately said as little as possible, lest the shallow Aunt Zhao would cause trouble for herself if she went out to talk too much and brag wildly.
To put it bluntly, with Cao Chun’s current importance in the entire Cao family, even if they call Aunt Zhao “mother” in private, no one would dare to pick on her!
However, the illiterate Aunt Zhao's vision was too low, and her beautiful face and figure were lost.
Even if Aunt Zhao is covered with phoenix feathers, she doesn't look like a phoenix, but more like a chicken. She really can't pull her away, and Cao Chun can't do anything.
"One hundred thousand taels of private money?" Aunt Zhao was so happy that she rubbed her hands together, grinned with joy, and laughed so hard, "Isn't that because you have defrauded me of my entire family fortune?"
Hey, what's the word?
Cao Chun took a deep breath again. She finally understood. She could no longer reason with her mother. She could only follow Aunt Zhao's words and said with a fake smile: "My husband treats my daughter very well."
"How about I help you..." After Aunt Zhao said the words, she felt that it was not appropriate, so she temporarily stopped talking.
How could Cao Chun be so shrewd that he didn't know what his mother was thinking? She turned around and glanced at Lan Fang, the eldest girl who was close to her.
Back then, on their wedding night, Cao Chun borrowed Yuzhu's hand and sold all the girls and women that Li had placed around her.
Lanfang is the new girl Cao Chun bought after marrying Yuzhu.
Therefore, Lan Fang has nothing to do with the Cao family and can be dispatched with confidence.
Lan Fang has been serving Cao Chun for several years, so she naturally understands her master's eyes.
"Auntie, our wife has already prepared some reward money for you." Lan Fang took out a banknote from his sleeve and held it in front of Aunt Zhao.
When Aunt Zhao saw the banknote, her eyes gleamed, and she snatched it from her hand. How could she care about maintaining her dignity?
When she saw clearly the denomination of the bank note, it turned out to be one thousand taels. Aunt Zhao even smiled and said, "My good girl, I wonder if you still remember me as your biological mother."
Lan Fang wanted to laugh, but how could she dare to laugh out loud?
There was no other way, Lan Fang endured it very hard and had no choice but to lower her head.
If the secret is exposed and Aunt Zhao feels uncomfortable, it is a trivial matter. If Cao Chun loses face, Lan Fang will be punished.
In the south of the Yangtze River, the Cao family seems to be extremely wealthy, but it is nothing more than gold and jade that suffers a huge deficit!
How could Aunt Zhao have imagined the overwhelming wealth of the Yongyi Hou Mansion?
Today's Aunt Zhao is just like Grandma Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden. She has fallen into a laughing stock.
However, between mother and daughter, even if Aunt Zhao was embarrassed in private, Cao Chun had nothing to care about.
However, Li and Cao Yi hugged each other and cried and made a fuss, which delayed their return to the city.
Cao Chun sent someone to find Wendena.
She said politely: "Mr. Xingye, it's getting dark soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the city tonight?"
The words "Biao" and "Mr." are connected together, showing affection and respect at the same time, which is just right.
Wendner nodded secretly. Because of his responsibilities, he always followed Yuzhu. He was very familiar with Yuzhu's two wives.
Fucha Xiuyun, one of the mistresses, is not only graceful and graceful, but also exceptionally atmospheric and transparent, which is very admirable.
Another mistress, Cao Chun, although she was born as a concubine in a Baoyi family, she was able to hold the stage and control the situation no matter what she said or did.
What is particularly rare is that Cao Chun treated Yuzhu's closest confidants as sir, and never looked down upon them.
The relationship is different, and the names are naturally different.
Wendena cupped his hands and said: "Go back to the mistress. I have discussed it with Zhao Zhizhou in advance. Since it is getting dark, I am afraid that it will not be safe on the road. Based on my humble opinion, I will simply stay here tonight."
In Tongzhou City, right?”
Seeing Cao Chun nod, Wendena added: "Back to the mistress, Zhao Zhizhou has sent people in advance to book several of the largest inns in the city. Just now, the people around me have gone to see it on the spot.
After that, it can accommodate hundreds of people and a certain amount of sundries. If there is anything wrong, please enlighten me."
Wendner respected Cao Chun everywhere. He not only put forward reasonable suggestions, but also did not make unreasonable opinions and was suspected of acting as a cook.
It can be said that the arrangements are watertight and comprehensive.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Cao Chun was very satisfied, but she really couldn't make the decision on the spot.
Because Cao Chun's aunt, Li, hasn't spoken yet.
Although Li is Li Xu's cousin, she has been in charge of the Cao family's internal affairs for many years and knows the priorities.
Nowadays, Li's biological daughter Cao Yi has become a down-and-out loser. If she wants to offend Cao Chun severely, it will not be a joke.
Therefore, Li happily agreed to Wendner's arrangement.
However, because Cao Quan was also present, Li still had to pretend to ask what his brother-in-law meant.
Unexpectedly, Cao Quan actually said: "My good niece and son-in-law, the soldiers left behind are very powerful. What's more, we are in the most kind place in the capital, so why are we afraid of mere thieves? Why not go back to the city overnight?"
This is too unreliable.
Cao Chun had almost no contact with Cao Quan and could not understand his thoughts, but Li could see clearly.
When I was in Jiangning, everyone in the officialdom knew how powerful Mrs. Sun was.
Just because, during Kangxi's southern tour, he once said with a smile in front of all the senior officials in Jiangnan: "This is an old man in my family."
Moreover, everyone also knows that Cao Yin is the Kangxi faction’s eyes and ears in Jiangnan.
Therefore, even if Cao Quan was late playing outside Jiangning City, he still had the ability to open the city gate.
Almost everyone in Jiangning's official circles knew about this matter. However, no one dared to accuse Cao Yin of his little blackmail.
To put it bluntly, with the favoritism of the old emperor, even if Cao Yin is sued for his little blackmail, there is a high probability that Cao Yin will be fine.
Hehe, Cao Yin is fine, and he is the emperor's spy. So, if you accuse him in private, big trouble will happen!
The logic of officials protecting each other is that the officialdom in Jiangnan protected Cao Quan from his misdeeds, and Cao Yin showed mercy to everyone when he wrote secrets to the old emperor.
In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the so-called national laws and right and wrong were worthless in the face of major interests.
Cao Quan, this is the second generation ancestor who has lost his temper. He wants to show Jiang Ning a show in the capital.
Isn't Yuzhu a powerful infantry commander? How big a deal could it be to open a city gate at night?
Rationally, Mrs. Li didn't want to offend Cao Chun any more. However, she still felt sour in her heart and still couldn't help but want to stumble Cao Chun.
So, Li conveyed Cao Quan's intention to Cao Chun.
As soon as Cao Chun heard such bastard words, the flames in his heart burned brighter than the others.
If you open the gate of the capital privately in the middle of the night, you might as well hang yourself, lest the life of the jade pillar be too long, right?
"Since the second uncle wants to leave, let him go. How about my daughter staying with your mother in Tongzhou?" Cao Chun deliberately avoided Cao Quan and directly asked Li what he wanted.
If Mrs. Li still dares to talk nonsense, Cao Chun will dare to take Aunt Zhao and leave directly!
The worst case scenario is that we have torn our skin apart and will be cut off from now on!
Cao Chun still didn't believe it. With her overwhelming power in her man's hands and her special favor in front of the emperor, how could she not be able to defeat the mere overlord Cao family?
Li Shi looked deeply at Cao Chun, and her heart couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring.
Cao Chun's words seemed to be an understatement, but they concealed a strong murderous intention.
Let him go?
With people surrounded by jade pillars, can Cao Quan be able to go wherever he wants?
Mr. Li knew how powerful it was.
However, Cao Quan didn't care about Cao Chun's warning. He decided to take his servant and concubine and leave in advance by car.
Looking at Cao Quan calling his slaves and maids, Cao Chun walked away carelessly, Cao Chun coldly told Wendner: "Mr.
Wendner smiled slightly and said calmly: "Go back to the mistress. If you dare to pledge your head, some people who don't know whether they will live or die will not be able to go far."
After saying this, Wendner calmly waved his hand, and the several soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately climbed onto the fast horse.
Soon, the knights mounted their horses and disappeared into the vast night sky.
