Chapter 359 The autumn wind is rising
When Zhu Xie was assassinated, the emperor was furious, and the whole court was filled with storms. There were all kinds of arguments, and some people impeached Cao Hua for dereliction of duty. However, no one suspected that Cao Hua was taking action. After all, killing Zhu Xie did not do anything to Cao Hua, and there was no motive at all. The memorials submitted by many officials in Hangzhou also proved that Cao Hua was unable to stop the thief by drinking and drinking. He was also seriously injured, with faults but no mistakes.
The matter has already happened and the person is dead. No matter how annoyed Zhao Jie is, he will not be able to let Zhu Jie come back to life. He soon issued two imperial edicts: Zhang Bing took over the Suzhou-Hangzhou Effort Bureau, and the local governments in Hangzhou vigorously eliminated the green forest bandits.
All of this has nothing to do with Cao Hua. After Cao Hua finished his work, he became an outsider and honestly recovered from the palace. In order not to reveal his strength, he didn't even leave the yard and secretly made people with his wives.
Su Xiangning stayed in the palace for a few days, but couldn't let the rain go to Huansha Street, and seriously dealt with the hairpins piled up in mountains. When she missed her occasionally, she would stay in the palace for one night, and then she would go back to the shop to wait stupidly, but she didn't know what she would wait for.
Cao Hua was recuperating in the house. This trip took more than a month, from midsummer to early autumn. Time froze to the end of July, and the day to return to Beijing was close.
Zhao Tianluo did not show any reluctance, but instead missed the Wu'an Marquis Mansion a little. He had prepared tea, silk and other items early on, preparing to take them back together. This made King Kang feel very distressed and secretly sighed: The water splashed by his married daughter.
Cao Hua squatted at home for a month, and saw the rumbling sound outside gradually subsided, and he also looked like he had recovered from a serious illness and went out, and dealt with the remaining problems before leaving.
----
After a assassination storm in Hangzhou, the artists on the street disappeared without a trace, and there were obviously more soldiers and armor. They were curfewed at night and patrolled everywhere during the day. When they saw suspicious people, they would ask the yamen later.
The Black Yuwei had the responsibility to clear out the bandits, so he naturally helped to patrol. However, the ordinary places were very fixed, so Zhu Qu would patrol wherever he was, and naturally he found nothing.
During the period when Cao Hua was recovering from his injuries, Zhu Concubine Qu was not feeling well.
Zhu Qufei ate and lived with Xie Yijun every day. It was obvious that Xie Yijun became a little strange after she came back that night. She often sat alone on the deck, her face turned red from time to time, or she was staring blankly with a jade pendant. Sometimes, even Xie Yijun didn't notice her when she walked behind her back.
This is not like a world-famous hero, but just a little girl who is just in love.
When Zhu Qufei saw Xie Yijun's appearance, she couldn't tell anything. She definitely didn't dare to be jealous, and she couldn't say she was happy or lost. Anyway, she was just weird and embarrassing, and didn't know how to face it.
After all, she is her own apprentice, and Concubine Zhu Qu can't break up a couple. She is still thinking about letting Xie Yijun get married. But if her affair with Cao Hua is discovered, Xie Yijun will definitely leave sadly and will not say a word.
Concubine Zhu Qu had already decided to draw a clear line with Cao Hua, so she could not let this happen. So after thinking about it for a long time, she came up with a bad idea...
------
In the evening of late July, the small pleasure boat was neatly packed. Concubine Zhu Qu was painting eyebrows in front of the dressing table, while Xie Yijun was wearing a hat and fishing at the bow of the boat, staring at the pedestrians and disguised black feather guards.
Li Bairen probably guessed what happened, and naturally kept his mouth shut about these things. He personally led a team to guard near the stone bridge. When officers and soldiers patrol, they showed a sign and signaled that they had searched the street.
When the sun set, the black feather guards on the bridge disappeared at the same time. Xie Yijun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up. Sure enough, a scholar waving a folding fan appeared on the street.
Xie Yijun quickly got up and entered the pleasure boat, and even called out:
"Master, Cao Taisui is here."
Concubine Zhu Qu trembled slightly, and quickly packed up the mess of rouge and water, got up and ran into the cabin.
Not long after, Cao Hua came in with a smile on his face, and sat down on the couch with no one who was outsider, and put on a Tai Sui air.
Xie Yijun looked at her head a few times, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, she closed the doors and windows and sat down next to Cao Hua:
"Cao Hua, when can I leave?"
"In just a few days, I can't find the thief for a few months. The government has relaxed. I will ask the Hei Yuwei to send you a message when I find the opportunity."
Xie Yijun nodded, looked up at the light bulb standing beside her. She was naturally hard to say something, but she just made tea for Cao Hua very calmly.
Zhu Qufei knew that she was in trouble. She looked at Cao Hua for a few times and spoke dignifiedly and politely: "Master Cao will do it for a while, I will go and get some food." After that, she returned to the kitchen behind.
Xie Yijun then breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyebrows with heroic gaze, and handed the tea to Cao Hua:
"Thank you, I won't care about you about the last time."
What the words meant was obviously Cao Hua was bold enough to tear her clothes and even pulled her hands.
Cao Hua smiled with a smile, raised his hand to take the teacup, rubbed it against the tight spot of the red skirt, and rubbed it.
Xie Yijun narrowed her eyes slightly, not angry, but just sat a little bit next to her, patting her chest and feeling a little displeased:
"Don't be more frustrated."
Cao Hua chuckled with a teacup, sat down a little, and then talked about the main business:
"Fang La disappeared recently. Do you have any way to contact me?"
"The assassination is too loud, Fang Qifo and others must have hidden it. If I know how to contact you, I will definitely tell you."
Xie Yijun said here and sighed softly. She had always been clearly distinguished with grudges and thought Cao Hua was a good person, so she would not kill him. But Zhu Xie was a veritable dog official. On the day of the assassination, Fang Qifu took action to stop him. Then she understood that Fang Qifu's heart was not just grudges, but what she wanted was a bigger thing.
For his own planning, Fang Qifu could let go of a traitor who had committed many evil deeds. Even if he succeeded in the future, he would become no different from the current court. He only had interests in his eyes and would not care about the lives and death of the people. With this alone, Xie Yijun and Fang La became strangers and could no longer have a relationship.
They were all born in the martial arts world, and suddenly parted ways and became strangers. Xie Yijun sighed a little.
Cao Hua also knew that it was not easy to find Fang La, so he nodded and did not ask any more questions.
The pleasure boat was not big, and there was a ding-dong sound from behind, obviously cooking.
When Xie Yijun and Cao Hua are alone, it is difficult for him to return to his usual casualness, and they are even a little embarrassed.
Xie Yijun had nothing to do and didn't know what to say, so she ran out on her own and sat on the bow of the boat to fish for dinner.
Cao Hua drank two cups of tea, thought for a while, got up and walked swaying to the back of the pleasure boat.
Zhu Qufei cut vegetables quickly and wore an apron to prevent oil stains from splashing on the skirt. The light makeup and mature cheeks made her look quite charming.
Concubine Zhu Qu suddenly saw Cao Hua running over, was startled, and quickly raised her hand and waved it, and said in a low voice:
"Little Langjun, are you trying to die? Go out quickly and let Yijun discover it?"
"Talk something to you."
Cao Hua smiled and walked slowly behind Concubine Zhu Qu, raised his hand to stroke his soft waist, and slowly slid down the waistline.
Zhu Qufei was trembling all over, afraid of causing trouble, so she didn't even dare to block it, and was anxious:
"You're crazy, say it if you have something to do, don't do it."
Cao Hua smiled and whispered softly:
"Go back to Bianjing after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you go back together."
"impossible..."
Zhu Qufei was immediately annoyed and quietly pushed the hand around her waist a little, with a serious expression: "Don't stop endlessly. I can't go back with you. I've said we can't..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Qufei closed her red lips and never dared to speak again. The skirt behind her was lifted up, the man's body was pressed against her back, and the earlobe was also sucked.
Concubine Zhu Qu was both ashamed and anxious. She gently pushed her elbow and stomped her feet, but she didn't dare to be too heavy.
"Give you another chance, will you agree?"
Undoubted voices came from his ears. Concubine Zhu Qu was crying, but she didn't dare to cry out loud. She felt that Cao Hua was still getting more and more arrogant. She nodded quickly, her face was bloody and her grievances in her eyes were unspeakable.
