Chapter 172 Chatting under the Moon (Part 2)(1/2)

Steel balls shot out.

The black shadow that had just emerged on the courtyard wall bounced back and forth between the courtyard wall, big trees and eaves at a speed of lightning speed, and finally fell into the courtyard wall with one foot, and disappeared behind the corridor column.

"Mr.!!!"

Zhao Tianluo recognized who it was from his inhuman bounce movements, screamed and his face turned pale, and hurriedly threw the musket into Jing Feng's hand.

Cao Hua leaned against the corridor column and had not figured out the situation yet.

As soon as I came home, a bullet passed by. If my ears were so sharp that I could avoid the light of my ears, I would be shot on the spot.

Hearing Zhao Tianluo's voice, he poked his head out, but saw that under the courtyard wall, Zhao Tianluo's face was pale and helpless. Jing Feng was holding a smoke-burning stick and was still giggling.

Cao Hua was furious: "Jing Feng, do you want to die?"

Jing Feng's smile froze, his eyes were full of fear, and he hurriedly threw the musket to his subordinates: "Governor, it's not my move."

The two black feather guards had both their livers and gallbladders, and they began to beat the drums and pass the flowers to throw the muskets around.

Cao Hua was still scared and walked out from behind the corridor column and said angrily: "Okay, go out."

The Black Feather Guard was as if he had been pardoned and rolled over and out of the courtyard wall.

Zhao Tianluo hid his right hand behind him, carefully: "My husband, are you okay?"

Cao Hua had extraordinary eyesight, so he naturally saw who fired the gun. He held the big package and looked up and down a few times: "Don't touch weapons in the future."

Zhao Tianluo's face was slightly stiff, and he nodded calmly: "This thing is very powerful. If everyone in the army had one, why not be afraid of the Liao and Jin dynasties?"

Obviously, I wanted to change the topic and cover up the murder of my husband just now.

Cao Hua didn't care: "It's so simple, and you can't shoot it continuously. You have to draw a knife to chop people after the attack."

Zhao Tianluo seemed to understand but didn't understand. He saw the package on Cao Hua's hand in a blink of an eye and said curiously: "What... are you carrying?"

With Cao Hua's reputation, it is not surprising that he carried a few heads home.

Zhao Tianluo was very cautious and covered his small nose with his hands.

Surprisingly, Cao Hua untied the package and took out a gorgeous fox fur: "I heard from Madam Hu that you are afraid of the cold. Beijing is not as cold as Jiangnan. It is cold in winter. On the way back, I saw that the fox fur is well-made and I bought two of them."

"Um?"

Zhao Tianluo was obviously a little surprised. He thought about it and raised his hand to take it and looked at it for a few times:

"Is this the daughter-in-law fur of Zhang's cloth shop?"

"Yes, do you like it?" Cao Hua curled the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Tianluo's face darkened.

Zhang's cloth shop was originally an imperial merchant. The fox fur he made was nicknamed "a thousand gold fur" because it was worth 3,000 taels of silver. Even wives and concubines from royal families had to consider it if they wanted to buy it. After all, this thing does not require jewelry to be passed down from generation to generation. If you take it out the next year, you will easily be rolled by boring women.

Zhao Tianluo brought two fox furs from Jiangnan. He didn't want to spend money to buy it in vain, but he never thought Cao Hua bought one for her.

Cao Hua's position as a governor was a false position, and the marquis was just a title. Without a fief, there was no tax to collect. His monthly salary was 120 taels and the ministers of the six ministries. He had to buy this fox fur without eating or drinking for nearly three years, and he bought more than one piece.

When Zhao Tianluo thought about this, Qingshui's eyes showed some suspicion: "Where did you get the money?"

"I...."

Cao Hua was stunned, but forgot about this.

"You... As the governor of the Black Feather Guard, how can you accept bribes?"

Zhao Tianluo's eyes flashed with disappointment. With Cao Hua's official power, it was too simple to get the money. He just hooked his fingers and waited for the officials and gentry to deliver the money to the door.

In the past, Cao Hua had the responsibility of supervising all officials, and he was not good at money and sex. Those who dared to come to the door to send money were all in the Diankuis dungeon, otherwise how could there be only three girls serving the powerful Wu'an Marquis Mansion?

Although Zhao Tianluo is biased against Cao Hua's evil deeds, as the emperor said, Cao Hua always has a purpose in his work, and he has principles for his bad things.

The methods are cruel and merciless, and they can be called traitors or even traitors, but corrupt officials are obviously too insulting the four words "Kyoto Tai Sui". Even the scholars at the poetry meeting only scolded Cao Hua for being "unpredictable and domineering". There have never been any greed for money or mediocre and incompetent words.

Now, in order to please her, she bought a fox fur for cashiers, Zhao Tianluo naturally felt that it was harmful to her face.

Seeing her so serious, Cao Hua was a little helpless: "I, Cao Hua, need to accept a bribe?"

Zhao Tianluo thought about it and was shocked: "You...you actually bought fox fur and didn't give the money?"

What kind of brain circuit is this?

Cao Hua blinked and thought for a little while, then put down the package, took out a folding fan from the back and patted his palms, posed Su Taibai's wind, raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky:

"When will the bright moon come? I asked the blue sky with wine. I don't know what palace in the sky, and what year it will be..."

“??”

Zhao Tianluo was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Cao Hua spread the folding fan with a cold and arrogant look: "Madam, look at my style, don't you think of anyone?"

The style of chanting poems under the moon is really as good as a talented man.

Zhao Tianluo looked at it carefully for a long time and felt that his artistic appearance was exactly the same as that of Yuchi's official, and frowned slightly:

"Yuchi Hu?"

Cao Hua's expression froze. How can he associate him with the Kyoto Taisui and Yuchi Dahanpi? This hint is not obvious enough?

Speaking of Yuchi Hu, Zhao Tianluo suddenly realized: "I'll just talk about the silver you came from there. "Big Turtle Fu" and "The Qingyu Case: The King of the Destroyed Country" were indeed sold to Yuchi Hu. Do you still have a conscience? Yuchi Hu is a fool, and you are also cheating others' money."

Even though he said so, the anger had obviously disappeared, with a bit of teasing.

I held the fox fur and rubbed it all over the place, and I liked it very much.

However, Cao Hua felt insulted and his face was slightly dark: "Madam, don't swear at someone."

Selling and buying poems are not allowed to be on the surface, and Zhao Tianluo has no intention of exposing them, and he will no longer talk about this topic now.

Looking at the gorgeous fox fur in her hand, she hesitated for a moment and said:

"My husband is in love."

"Just be happy."

Cao Hua had no choice but to reply.

Walking side by side in the corridor, Zhao Tianluo looked at the fox fur left in his hand: "My husband... did you go to Baota Temple to burn incense today?"

Cao Hua turned his head and said, "What Hu Lan told you?"

Zhao Tianluo was stunned: "How do you know?"

"I am naturally cautious. Someone can see me even behind my back. I see her at the foot of the mountain."

“That’s right…”

Zhao Tianluo suddenly realized, walked a few steps in his arms, stopped again, and looked at him seriously:

"You saved Chen Qingqiu?"

"Say no, you have guessed it, you said yes, the crime of deceiving the king will kill me if it is passed on."

Zhao Tianluo blinked, his natural arrogance covered the faint jealousy, and he was a little puzzled: "Did you take the risk of saving Chen Qingqiu because you fell in love with Miss Chen?"

Regarding this question, Cao Hua expressed his serious expression: "I will save Chen Qingqiu if there is Chen Jingliu, but the way is different."

Zhao Tianluo frowned: "It's impossible. There is no benefit in doing this. You always have a purpose in doing things. It's impossible to save people for no reason."

"Purpose..." Cao Hua thought for a while, spread out the folding fan, revealing the four big words "I am a good person": "I am lost, can't I be a good person?"

“… good guy?”

Zhao Tianluo obviously felt that this explanation was difficult to convince. He frowned and looked at it for a long time, but could not think of any other reason. He nodded half-believingly: "If my husband is willing to change his mind, it is the best... No matter what purpose he is, he saved Chen Qingqiu and accused the people of Queshan County is a fact... I hope... I will continue to maintain it in the future..."

This way, it seems like the teacher was very pleased to praise the naughty child when he finally got 60 points in the exam.

Cao Hua curled the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly.

Zhao Tianluo followed him and was silent for a moment, but he just turned his head and smiled: "Mr.... As a prince, you have a few concubines in charge... But if you take Miss Chen into the door, everyone in the world knows that you saved Chen Qingqiu. What should you do?"

Cao Hua turned his head and looked at her. He wanted to raise his hand to hug her, but he was sideways away. After thinking about it, his eyes turned to the majestic imperial city in the distance: "I'm going to give the people of Bianjing a surprise after a while, including you."

"surprise?"

Zhao Tianluo was puzzled, then his whole body was shocked and said coldly: "You want to rebel?"

Cao Hua stopped: "Do you think I have this ability?"

Zhao Tianluo had a cautious expression: "Everyone knows your ability, but you are unruly, and it is not surprising that you do anything."

Cao Hua was quite helpless: "I only have two thousand robes who can shout "Governor is so handsome". Madam, please plan for me. How should I do this?"

When Zhao Tianluo heard this, he really thought about it seriously:

"If I were you... I would be close to Prince Zhao Kai of Yun and Grand Tutor Cai Jing.

Diankui Si took control of the secrets of the princes, princes, generals and ministers of various families, and used this as a threat to force the court officials to support Zhao Kai and exclude the prince.

Zhao Kai is very talented and is loved by the emperor. He first framed the prince with a trick and caused the emperor to abolish the crown prince and make Zhao Kai the crown prince. In this way, Zhao Kai will definitely be grateful to you.

Later, the emperor died suddenly and Zhao Kai became emperor. Without the feudal wings, he could not suppress Cai Jing and other veterans, so he could only entrust you with important tasks to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf.

At this time, it should not be difficult to accommodate officials from Cai Jing and others. For those who refuse to change their ranks, they can be assassinated secretly if necessary.
To be continued...
