Cao Yunze and Zhang Shan were chatting, at this moment, a dog leg ran in in a panic. "Lord Cao, there is someone from Meicheng who wants to see you!"
"Oh? Who is it?" Cao Yunze raised his eyebrows and looked at his subordinates.
"It's the third master's subordinate, called Zhang Erbao, who came here before!" Lowering his head, the subordinate hastily replied.
"Well, let him in!" Waving his hand, Cao Yunze signaled his subordinates to bring him in.
"Yes!" In response, the subordinate turned and left. Not long after, a short man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes was brought in.
"The third child asked you to come here?" Cao Yunze raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the man.
"Lord Cao, something has happened, something big has happened!" Kneeling down with a plop, Zhang Erbao looked at Cao Yunze nervously.
"Oh? What happened?" Seeing Zhang Erbao's anxious look, Cao Yunze immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Lord Cao, my lord's three inns were sealed off, the inn's clerks and cooks were all killed, the three shopkeepers and my lord were also arrested. Also, the people under your lord were also arrested. Killed. Only me, only I escaped by chance!" Looking at Cao Yunze, Zhang Erbao cried out these things.
"What?" Hearing this, Cao Yunze was shocked.
"Who is it? Who is so courageous to go to Meicheng to kill someone?" Zhang Shan asked angrily, staring at the other party.
"Yes, it's the king of Dongzhou. The king of Dongzhou brought many people to Meicheng. Not only did he arrest our lord, he also ransacked his house, drove away his wife, young master, and young lady, and sent the servants of the mansion The person issued the deed of sale and sent them all away. Now, the master and the three shopkeepers are locked up in the county government office, and the master's money is also in the county government office. They are guarded by the soldiers of the Dongzhou Palace." Speaking of these, Zhang Erbao drooped Head down.
"Dongzhou King? Dongzhou King came to Anping Mansion?" Hearing this, Cao Yunze turned pale with shock.
"You bastard, why didn't you report such a big matter early?" Staring at Zhang Erbao, Zhang Shan kicked him angrily.
"Master Zhang, it's not that the young one didn't come to report, but that after my lord's accident, the king of Dongzhou deliberately blocked the news, and Meicheng was closed for ten days before opening the city gate to let it go. The young one rushed here non-stop as soon as he was free. !” Looking at Zhang Shan, Zhang Erbao said aggrievedly.
"Did you go to Liucheng and Yongcheng?" Looking at each other, Cao Tianze asked.
"The little one went, but when I went, the gates of the two cities were closed and no one was allowed to enter, so the little one didn't know what happened to Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jiang, so he came to Anping City to see Two adults!" Having said that, Zhang Erbao sighed weakly.
Hearing this, Zhang Shan frowned deeply. "He's not in Dongzhou, how could he come here?"
"It should be related to Princess Qingxia, second child, you go right away..." Cao Tianze leaned over and whispered something in Zhang Shan's ear.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll do it right away!" Responding, Zhang Shan hurried away immediately.

The next day, Wei Qingxia drank tea and listened to books in a teahouse with four young men.
"Princess Qingxia, the tea in our Anping Mansion is the most famous. Today I ordered the top-quality Biluochun, please taste it!" Looking at Qingxia, Cao Yunze's third son Cao Qian introduced with a smile.
"Well, thank you Boss Cao for introducing me!" He nodded towards the other party. Qingxia with a veil on her face did not drink tea.
"Princess Qingxia, the book I'm talking about today is the new biography of King Dongzhou." Looking at Qingxia sitting beside him, Meng Chengxu said so.
"Oh? Are you talking about my father?" Qingxia raised her eyebrows, and Qingxia immediately became interested.
"Yes, some scholars wrote this new biography of Dongzhou King based on some of Dongzhou King's deeds. Many people come to listen to this book every day!" Speaking of this, Meng Chengxu showed a faint smile.
"Oh!" Nodding, Princess Qingxia listened seriously. I heard the storyteller on the stage vividly telling the story of the fairy bestowing fruit trees. Hearing the storyteller say that a white-bearded and white-haired fairy came to the orchard and rewarded three fruit trees, Qingxia smiled lowly. Others didn't know how the three treasures of the fruit city came to be, but she knew.
Seeing that Qingxia covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes were full of smiles. There was a touch of obsession in Meng Chengxu's eyes, and the same Cao Qian was also looking at Qingxia sitting beside him with obsession. Although he has never seen the face of the other party, Cao Qian admires this princess very much. First of all, this princess never puts on airs, and secondly, this princess's business acumen and ability make him I am deeply impressed by it. If he could marry such a capable wife, it would definitely be something he should be proud of.
"Qingxia!" Suddenly, a soft call came from the next table.
Hearing the sound, Princess Qingxia looked over in search of prestige, and saw Chu Yang in dark black clothes sitting on a chair, beside Leng Feng in purple clothes. Behind the two stood ten guards in plain clothes.
Getting up, Princess Qingxia hurried over. Seeing Qingxia walking towards the next door, Cao Qian and Meng Chengxu also looked over immediately. I saw two men sitting at the next table, a man in black with a handsome appearance and extraordinary appearance, and a man in purple robe with a delicate face and a cold face.
"Princess Qingxia!" Standing up, Cao Qian and Meng Chengxu instinctively followed behind each other.
With a light movement of the lotus steps, Qinglian arrived in front of Chu Yang in a few steps, and immediately bowed her head in salute. "Father, Uncle Leng, have you come to Anping Mansion?"
"Well, I'm tired of staying in Dongzhou, so come out for a walk." Looking at Qingxia, Chu Yang said disapprovingly.
"Father, you..." Looking at her adoptive father, Qingxia opened her mouth to speak but stopped. She knew in her heart that her father didn't just come out for a walk, but came here to help her take revenge, otherwise, her father wouldn't come to Anping Mansion suddenly. Thinking of this level, Qingxia's heart is full of gratitude.
"You don't need to be too polite outside. Sit down!" Seeing the girl whose eyes were flushed with emotion, Chu Yang waved his hands.
"Thank you father!" Responding, Princess Qingxia bent down and sat on the chair beside her father.
"This..." Cao Qian and Meng Chengxu, who followed after Princess Qingxia called this man, were dumbfounded. This, this is Dongzhou King? No wonder her demeanor is so extraordinary, no wonder Qingxia walked towards her happily, it turned out to be...
"Caomin..." Lowering their heads, the two were about to salute, but were interrupted by Chu Yang.
"You don't need to salute, I'm here in disguise, I don't want to disturb the people!" Chu Yang said after glancing at the two of them.
"Yes, yes!" In response, the two nodded hastily.
"Go back to your own table! I want to have a chat with Qingxia alone." After waving his hand, Chu Yang signaled the two to leave.
"Yes!" Responding, the two didn't dare to neglect, and immediately returned to their own table.
Seeing that the two had left, Chu Yang lowered his voice and whispered at a volume that only Qingxia could hear. "As a father, I have already been to Meicheng, Liucheng and Yongcheng!"
Hearing this, Qingxia was slightly surprised, then her eyes widened in shock. "Father, then you killed them?"
"No, it's just ransacking the house. Your enemy is your father and I will leave it to you to deal with!" Since he wanted to help revenge, Chu Yang naturally couldn't kill people directly.
After receiving such an answer, Qingxia was even more moved. "Thank you, father!"
"You and my father and daughter don't need to talk about this. How is the situation here?" Looking at his daughter, Chu Yang asked patiently.
"Cao Yunze is very cunning, and my daughter hasn't found too many evidences against him yet." Speaking of this, Qingxia was very troubled. The other four people had a lot of evidence of corruption, bribery, and carelessness about human life. However, this Cao Yunze is only cunning. Old fox, his evidence is very difficult to find. So far, the evidence in Qingxia's hands is also very limited, and those evidences can only indirectly prove Cao Yunze's crimes, but cannot directly prove the other party's crimes.
"Don't worry, there will be evidence soon." Speaking of this, Chu Yang showed a mysterious smile.
Looking at her father's inscrutable appearance, Qingxia was stunned. She guessed that her father must have her own way to make the old fox Cao Yunze appear.
"By the way, what kind of book is this storyteller talking about? I haven't understood it after listening to it for a long time?" Lowering his head, Chu Yang took a sip of tea, smiled and looked at the adoptive daughter beside him.
"Father, he's talking about the new biography of King Dongzhou, and he's talking about your story!" Speaking of this, a faint smile rose from the corner of Qingxia's mouth. Although the storyteller was a bit exaggerated, Qingxia still felt honored to see her father being praised so much.
"Oh? You're talking about me?" Chu Yang raised his eyebrows in surprise. Because the storyteller changed his name, of course, it was also because no one dared to call him by his name in Great Wei, so the storyteller changed the name of the protagonist in the book to Wang Ze. Therefore, after listening to it for a long time, Chu Yang did not understand that the sixth Prince Wang Ze was talking about himself.
"Yes, I heard from Boss Meng that this is the new biography of King Dongzhou written by scholars based on his father's great achievements over the years."
Hearing his daughter's introduction, Chu Yang nodded. "If that's the case, then Ben Wang should buy a script and read it carefully to see what those scholars have written about Ben Wang?"
"I'm afraid nine times out of ten, they are all mythological stories, just like the fairy bestowing fruit just now!" Speaking of this, Leng Feng also had a smile on his lips. Unexpectedly, her man has been written into the picture book, and has become the object of the storyteller's vivid narration.
"Hahaha, don't you also say that this king was born with colorful auspicious clouds on his head and golden lotus flowers on his feet?" Speaking of this, Chu Yang smiled.
"I think Xuan, maybe the first chapter of this book is written like that!" Speaking of this, Leng Feng smiled.
Hearing this, Chu Yang looked over and saw his wife's smiling eyes, and the smile on his mouth deepened. When the four eyes met, they both laughed out loud as their eyes rolled.
