After listening to the book, Chu Yang asked where Qingxia lived. Knowing that Qingxia rented a courtyard in the city, Chu Yang took people to the small courtyard where Qingxia lived.
There were ten guards and two maidservants around Qingxia, and there were still many vacant rooms in the courtyard, just right for Chu Yang and Leng Feng to live in.
"Father, you are a man of gold, why did you bring ten guards out?" Seeing that there were only ten guards around Chu Yang, Qingxia frowned deeply. My father is different from myself. My father is the king of Dongzhou. Maybe there are people with bad intentions who will take advantage of my father's travel to be detrimental to my father. Furthermore, this is Anping Mansion, and that old fox Cao Yunze has quite a few minions, so what if he is not good for his father
"Don't worry, I brought a lot of people, no one can hurt me. The ten you saw are just on the surface!" Chu Yang came out this time with four hundred guards, plus ten Wen. Staff. There are many people!
After the three cities of Meicheng, Liucheng, and Yongcheng were rectified by Chu Yang, Chu Yang left two staff members in each city. One is in charge of temporarily serving as the magistrate and maintaining law and order in the city, while the other stays in the city to collect evidence of the crimes of the three corrupt officials. In addition to the two staff members, Chu Yang also left thirty guards in each city. The first reason was to ensure the safety of the two staff members, and worried that the minions of the three corrupt officials would hurt them if they slipped through the net. The second is to protect the dirty money of those corrupt officials and their criminal evidence. But, even so, ninety of the four hundred people were removed, and there were still three hundred and ten guards around him, and there were still four staff members. Therefore, there are still a lot of people. It's just that, on the surface, only ten people followed him, and the other three hundred people were all under the leadership of Li Yong, disguised as ordinary people, protecting in the dark, and following behind.
"Oh, if that's the case, my daughter can rest assured. Cao Tianze is a cunning and cunning man, and he has many minions! My daughter is worried that he will harm you, father." Speaking of this, Qingxia frowned.
"Don't worry, we will go directly to the capital when we get his criminal evidence in a few days, and my father will take you to the imperial court. I will escort these beasts to the capital one by one to chop them up." Looking at Qingxia, Chu Yang Say so.
Hearing this, Qingxia's eyes turned red, tears rolled down with gratitude. He bent down and knelt in front of his adoptive father. "Father, for your great kindness to your daughter, even if your daughter is a cow and a horse in this life, she will not be able to repay you!"
"Since you and I are destined to be father and daughter, it is destined by heaven to let this king help you avenge this blood sea. You don't have to do this!" To be honest, seeing the little girl so grateful to me, she regarded herself as a reborn parent. Chu Yang was really guilty. If it wasn't for the three hundred points, he might not have worked so hard to help a girl he didn't know.
"Father is a great kind person, and you don't expect to repay your kindness. However, my daughter will never forget your great kindness in this life." Looking at Chu Yang gratefully, Qingxia at this moment is extremely fortunate and extremely happy Grateful, glad that I met this Dongzhou king, and glad that I can become the adopted daughter of the other party. I am grateful to God for allowing her to meet such a good person, and thank God for finally opening her eyes, allowing her to avenge her biological parents, uncle, aunt, and younger brother with the help of her adoptive father!
"Okay, get up. I'm tired after driving for a long time with your Uncle Leng!" Waving his hand, Chu Yang signaled him to get up.
"Yes, the daughter is going back to the room first, you and Uncle Leng can rest first. The room has been cleaned by the maids and guards. If you need anything else, my daughter will buy it for you!" Qingxia said from the ground stood up.
"Well, that's it, this room is pretty good." Nodding his head, Chu Yang was still very satisfied with this room.
"Yes, that daughter will leave first." In response, Qingxia bowed and left the room.
Seeing Qingxia leaving, Leng Feng got up and closed the door. Turning around, he saw that Chu Yang was already lazily lying on the bed.
"Tired!" Stepping up to Chu Yang's side, Leng Feng raised his hand and gently kneaded Chu Yang's shoulders.
"Oh, riding a horse is really tiring, much more tiring than riding a carriage!" Speaking of this, Chu Yang sighed softly. In order to rush to Anping Town as soon as possible, Chu Yang abandoned the carriage and followed his wife on horseback.
"You, if I let you ride in a carriage, you insist on riding with me, asking for trouble!" While massaging his man, Leng Feng lectured him.
"Is Feng'er making fun of this king?" Chu Yang turned his head and looked at his wife dissatisfied.
"I don't dare, I'll fetch water for you, take a hot bath, and get a good night's sleep! I've been on the road for the past few days, and I haven't had a good rest!" As he said, Leng Feng got up and was about to leave, but was caught by Chu Yang grabbed his wrist.
"Let the other guards go!" Pulling his wife, Chu Yang refused to let her go.
"The other guards are cleaning the room and standing guard. There is no time to serve you. Besides, do you want them to see that they are high in their hearts, like the king of Dongzhou who is like a god, lying on the bed and unable to get up?" This, Leng Feng smiled lowly.
Seeing his daughter-in-law's doting smile, Chu Yang curled his lips. Smiling quite proudly. "Then get some more water, let's take a mandarin duck bath together!"
"Stop messing around, what kind of mandarin duck bath is it in broad daylight!" Pulling Chu Yang's hand away, Leng Feng left helplessly.
Seeing his daughter-in-law's eyes when she was about to leave, Chu Yang was delighted. Heart said: The daughter-in-law is getting more and more boring, she clearly wants what she wants, but she still shirks it.
Under Chu Yang's insistence, Leng Feng took the mandarin duck bath with him after hesitation. After taking a shower, the two of them took a nap together.
During dinner, when Chu Yang and Leng Feng walked out of the room, all the officials of Anping Mansion, led by the prefect Cao Yunze, were already waiting in the yard.
"My minister pays homage to the lord, the lord is a thousand years old!" Bending down on his knees, the twelve officials knelt in front of Chu Yang and kowtowed to him.
"My lords, get up, there is no need to be polite!" Waving his hands, Chu Yang motioned for everyone to get up.
"Thank you, my lord!" In response, everyone stood up in fear and trepidation.
"My lords, this king just came out to walk around and have fun. My lords don't need to stir up the crowd like this, and don't disturb the people in the city. There is nothing wrong with this king. You can all go home. Let It is enough for Mr. Cao to stay and have dinner with this king!" Looking at the crowd, Chu Yang said so.
"Yes!" Responding, the other officials took a look at their prefect and left one after another.
"My lord, the Eight Immortals restaurant is the most famous in the city, how about going to the restaurant with my lord?" Looking at Chu Yang, Cao Yunze gave a suggestion with a smile.
"No need, Qingxia has already prepared the dinner!" After saying that, Chu Yang turned his head to look at the adoptive daughter beside him.
"Yes father, my daughter is ready for dinner!" Nodding, Qingxia immediately said yes.
"Oh, it's very good, very good!" He nodded stiffly, and Cao Yunze didn't dare to have any objections.
Not long after, the little maid brought the food to the table. Chu Yang, Cao Yunze, Leng Feng and Qingxia drank together at the same table. Although men and women had different seats at the age of eight, Qingxia was no ordinary girl, she had been learning to write and do business with Chu Yang all along. I often go to various places to set up shops with those business staff, so eating at the same table with men is already commonplace.
Seeing that Qingxia took off the veil on her face, but put on a mask, which covered most of her face and only showed her eyes, nose and mouth, Cao Yunze thought to herself, this girl is really smart. She intends to let outsiders see her appearance!
"Lord Cao, I have heard Qingxia write several letters to her family praising Lord Cao's good governance. The security in Anping Mansion is very good, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Moreover, the trade in Anping Mansion is also very prosperous. This is all thanks to Mr. Cao!" Looking at Cao Yunze who was sitting beside him, Chu Yang smiled and put a high hat on him.
"Ah, the prince is too generous. These are the duties of a humble job, and what a humble job should do!" Smiling, Cao Yunze said modestly.
"My lord also heard that Qingxia received great support from Lord Cao for opening a store here. I heard that Lord Cao's third son is also one of the partners, right?" Looking at Lord Cao, Chu Yang asked again.
"Princess Qingxia is really too generous. The old minister is just doing his best. As for the son who is incompetent in a humble job, he is really not good at reading. Therefore, he learned business from his uncle since he was a child. It is also the blessing of the dog that the princess has chosen to be the partner of the prince." Lowering his head, Cao Yunze said modestly.
"Oh, Mr. Cao is too self-effacing. Come, my king, to offer you a toast!"
"Don't dare to dare, it should be a humble job to respect the prince!" Cao Yunze hurriedly picked up the wine glass to toast.
Looking at Cao Yunze, her great enemy, who was greeting her father, Qingxia's hands hidden in her sleeves unconsciously clenched into fists. She has been by her father's side for many years, and often runs outside to help her father open a shop. Qingxia asks herself that she can control her emotions very well, but every time she sees this person, she still has to spend a lot of money. Only with strong self-control can he control himself and not show his killing intent towards this person.
From this day on, Chu Yang would find Cao Yunze to accompany him every now and then, playing chess with him, eating with him, going to tea houses with him, drinking tea, listening to stories, and going to theaters, and Cao Yunze treated Cao Yunze well. Some are flattered. Because of Chu Yang's friendliness, many officials in Anping Mansion believed that Chu Yang really just came to visit the mountains and rivers and check out the shops in his side. However, Cao Yunze was still skeptical about this. He always felt that things were not that simple.
