Xiao Sa beside him was haired with a marble crown, and his beautiful beard was fluttering, and he was energetic and graceful. Although he was middle-aged, he still did not lose his handsome appearance when he was young.

Deng Qing glanced at it, a trace of disdain appeared in her eyes. She quickly lowered her eyes and continued to savor the tea in the cup as if nothing had happened.

It was not until the two of them walked in front of him that Deng Qing slowly raised his head and said in surprise: "Governor Xiao is here to visit the humble house. Deng is so embarrassed! He is so respectful."

Although this person was so complimenting, he did not get up and sat on the cushion without moving, with a touch of intentional or unintentional mockery at the corner of his lips.

Xiao Sa was displeased with his provocative tone and said sarcastically: "The Protector General is in good health and cannot welcome him. I can understand it. After all, you have just come out of the tiger and wolf den. "

Deng Qing's hand holding the teacup froze, his expression stuck, and his smile fell coldly, and his eyes swept towards Xiao Sa like a cold blade. However, he saw that the man was not concerned at all, standing in front of his desk, looking at him with a smile on his face.

The two looked at each other for a moment, their eyes intertwined with sharp and terrifying eyes, and they were vaguely fighting in the dark.

The evenly matched momentum confronted each other. He only stared at Xiao Sa, completely ignoring the young man standing on the other side.

Dou Yueshan stood in the hall, looking at the two of them, both embarrassed and speechless, but could not speak out to disturb her, so she had to wait silently.

Finally, Deng Qing couldn't stand Xiao Sa's eyes, so he took the initiative to shift his gaze, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Governor Xiao for your care and understanding."

He gritted his teeth and asked again, "Since the governor is here, why not sit down first, right? The official dare not... let you stand all the time."

Xiao Sanu browed, raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked around the hall. Seeing that the guest tables on both sides were arranged neatly, his expression couldn't help but condense. Looking at this scene, Deng Qing had known that they would definitely come today, so she prepared everything in advance. Even the killings and riots on the long street were designed in advance, waiting for them to fall into the trap.

Now, the prisoner pretending to be Jin Wu is dead, and everyone on the street has witnessed it with their own eyes. Jin Wu's card can only be abandoned and cannot be used to force Deng Qing. Just relying on the testimony of a "dead person" during his lifetime, Deng Qing may not be afraid. Xiao Sa watched this game, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was a game of dead chess. For some reason, Dou Yueshan insisted on coming here... into a trap?

He looked at Dou Yueshan and saw that the young man looked light, calm and composed, without any worry, as if he had a certainty in his heart.

Xiao Sa looked inward inwardly, thought about it carefully, and finally walked towards the guest seat silently and left.

Deng Qing ignored Dou Yueshan, who was still standing still, and directly crossed him and asked Xiao Sa: "I wonder what the governor is coming to the humble house today... what is going on?"

Xiao Sa held his breath and did not answer immediately. Instead, he pointed to the young man standing in front of the hall and whispered: "General Protector... Have you forgotten that there is another person in this court? Young Master Cao has been waiting for you for a long time, but since you just entered the hall, you have never said to him... Since you are now colleagues in Yongzhou, why should you confront each other like this?"

After he reminded him, Deng Qingcai seemed to suddenly remember someone, turned his head to look at the upright young man, and said with a pretentious attitude: "Look at my look, I didn't see it... Caozhouwei has also come. It's really a failure."

He bowed to Dou Yueshan very perfunctorily, pulled his face down and said motionlessly: "Please don't blame Caozhou Wei, you and I are both in Yongzhou. We should have been kind to get along well... But I am really ashamed of this ignorance."

If we counted as Cao He, the position of state lieutenant, he was at the same level as Deng Qing and had no upper and lower constraints. Therefore, Deng Qing did not take him seriously at all, and he was thorny in every sentence he spoke, and he was not polite.

Dou Yueshan was not annoyed either. He had a confrontation with this person before. He knew that Deng Qing had always been so unscrupulous and arrogant, so he was no longer surprised today.

He smiled slightly against Cao He's face: "I dare not take the general's words."

Deng Qing continued to ignore him, turned his head and looked at Xiao Sa again: "Sir, Master... can you say the business is serious now, right?"

Seeing that Deng Qing had not invited Dou Yueshan to sit down, Xiao Sa frowned and was about to respond to Deng Qing. When he saw that he was standing opposite him winked at him, he shook his head secretly, indicating that he didn't need to say more.

Xiao Sa stopped in time and changed the subject and replied: "I don't know if the Protector General knows... a major case occurred in the prefect's mansion two days ago?"

He mentioned this matter and secretly observed Deng Qing's expression. The man looked calm. When he heard Xiao Sa's inquiry, he was too lazy to even say polite care. He slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "The Lord has heard a little... I know a little."

Xiao Sa stared at him: "Aren't the general surprised? At this critical moment... the prefect's mansion had such a case? If... the wife of Mr. Cao really had something to do, how would I explain to the Prince Pingding?"

Unexpectedly, Deng Qing laughed: "The governor Xiao's words are a little confused. The criminal in this case is not a governor. What are you talking about here? Besides... the governor heard that the principal of the case has been captured by you, Lord Governor... In this way, you can go to the Pingding Palace with this poisoned person. Why should you worry?"

He left himself clean, not afraid that Xiao Sa would show evidence, and the cold smile reached his eyes.

Seeing this guy being so arrogant, a sense of anger surged up in his chest. He sarcastically said, "The general was injured and was in the Protectorate's House. He turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window. This morning, a big riot broke out on the long street. Not far from your Protectorate's House. Don't you know? The poisoned criminal was silenced in this riot... Now that I have no one in my hands, how can I calm down? How can I explain to the Pacify Prince's House?"

Deng Qing frowned, pretending to be ignorant, blinked his eyes and said, "Oh? There was a riot on the long street today? The Xiaguan was in the palace for cultivation... he really didn't know, he was really dereliction of duty."

When Xiao Sa heard his words, he almost laughed angrily: "General Deng, you are not the only one who was taken away by the thieves... Why are Qian Hui and Zhao Fu's mansions farther away from the long street, but they can sense the riots and lead troops in time?"

Deng Qing said as if nothing happened: "Don't blame me, Lord Governor. Maybe it was because the servants in the government were too caring for the master and were afraid of disturbing my rest, so they did not come to report on the long street in time."

This ridiculous and ridiculous reason almost made Xiao Sa slam the table in anger.

At this time, Dou Yueshan had already entered the guest seat opposite by herself. Seeing this scene, she interrupted in time: "The Protector General is kind to his subordinates, so the servants at home are also very caring for you... This is a good thing. But... Nowadays, the border city is full of holes, and the strength of Changming's army has plummeted. General, while you are recuperating, should you also care about the people's livelihood and the situation in the army?"

Deng Qing paused slightly, looked over in a blink of an eye, and saw that Dou Yueshan had already taken her seat by herself, and she felt very unhappy.

"Caozhou Wei said this funny. Why did the riots occur in the long street? If you and the governor were not escorting the criminals out of the street and passing by the market, why would they attract killers and assassins? Is it your persuasion...what would have caused inconvenience to the people...are you two?"

He spoke in vain and turned his teeth into blood, and he gently pushed all the blame on Xiao Sa and Dou Yueshan.

Xiao Sa was so angry that he felt depressed. He knew that once a witness was silenced, Deng Qing would never admit his crime of poisoning, and he would be even more arrogant.

However, Dou Yueshan on the opposite side was very calm and calm, as if she was not angry about Deng Qing's words.

I heard the young man say lightly: "What the general said makes sense. I brought such a big riot to the border town... I feel very guilty. Therefore, today I come to ask you..."

Deng Qing's eyes were stunned and almost couldn't answer the words. He coughed and said in confusion: "Wei Caozhou wants to ask me for advice? What do you want to ask for advice?"

Dou Yueshan concentrated on her mind, smoothed the corners of her bent mouth, and the gentleness in her eyes gradually disappeared. Although the person looked no different from what he had just now, a strong and powerful aura was slowly formed around her.

"I wonder if the general can explain... why the criminal who was arrested mentioned you in the testimony of the arrested person?" His eyebrows were curved, as if he was laughing, but in fact he was hiding a knife in his smile.

Deng Qing thought he was going to say something, but when he heard him ask about this, his heart quickly calmed down and said sarcastically: "What joke will Caozhouwei say?"

He paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Dou Yueshan, then turned his head to look at Xiao Sa, and then said, "Is it possible that... Governor Xiao is coming today to take charge of Mrs. Shao's poisoning on me? Now that the criminal has been silenced, you can't explain to Mr. Cao and the Prince Pingding Mansion, so you want to push me out and be a scapegoat for that man?"

Xiao Sa clenched his fists and said angrily: "Deng Qing, I am not good at doing such dirty things. You should know very well in your heart what you did! General Deng, if you want others to know, unless you don't do it. No matter how you argue here, the facts are the facts and will not change. Do you think the truth can be hidden for the rest of your life?"

Deng Qing chuckled: "Governor Xiao. I respect you. It is not because your official position is superior to me, but because you have a great reputation and are widely loved. I respect you for being upright and honest, so I will tolerate you everywhere, but this does not mean... I will not say a word and let you insult and frame you!"

He spoke with confidence, looking wronged, as if the person with a vicious heart was not him, but Xiao Sa who sat in the guest seat.
