I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 836 Greed
Ziheng stared at Cao Zhifu expressionlessly, and saw that Cao Zhifu's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally there was no sound at all.

Cao Zhifu waited for a while, the gods and wealth are in front of his eyes, Cao Zhifu made up his mind and said again, "Your Majesty, the little girl was rescued by hanging last night. I only have such a daughter-in-law. I really can't bear it!"

Ziheng sneered, so he had the cheek to rely on him. He was skeptical about hanging himself. How long has it been? Miss Cao hanged herself a little late.

Zhifu Cao wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and hurriedly explained: "At the beginning when the little girl came back, the old man suppressed the news. No one thought that it would be spread now. The little girl hanged herself because she really had no face."

Ziheng saw through the plots of the Cao family. The reason why the Cao family didn't say a word when they returned to Fucheng was because today, heh, if they don't spread the word sooner or later, the Cao family will leave to spread the word.

Ziheng's face turned cold inch by inch, "Your Cao family bullied me for being good-tempered? What made you think that I, as the son of Duke Ding, are calculating?"

He has been with his uncle for many years and has handled various cases. Whoever thinks he is a schemer will seek death.

Ziheng looked at Jiao Huwei, Jiao Huwei clapped his hands, and an ordinary-looking guard in his 20s walked in.

Prefect Cao was puzzled, but when the guards spoke, Prefect Cao's face turned red, because the guard mentioned the size of Miss Cao's clothes, and also said that Miss Cao had a mole behind her ear.

When Cao Zhifu saw that the guards wanted to speak, he scolded, "Shut up."

Ziheng's eyes were sarcastic, "Continue."

The guards clasped their fists and stepped forward, "The villain is twenty-two this year, Master Cao and the villain will be responsible for Miss Cao, and tomorrow the villain will come to propose marriage."

Seeing that the prefect Cao's face turned pale, Ziheng frowned, "Lord Cao, rest assured that my son will witness the marriage for them."

He is not afraid of any rumors, the Cao family wants to use the rumors to rely on him, as long as the guards come to ask for marriage, the Cao family can only admit it.

Lord Cao moved his lips, "Young master is so cruel."

Ziheng smiled angrily, he stood up and walked in front of Mr. Cao, bent down to meet Mr. Cao's old face, "Because you are shameless, Ms. Cao is planning first, I think she will let her unmarried daughter go, you You came forward to plot against me today, so it can be seen that you didn't take what I said that day to heart."

Master Cao was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead, Ziheng stood up straight, "Don't treat everyone as idiots, I have not only guards but also dead men by my side, Miss Cao can't get close to me, Master Cao knows what a dead man is?"

Mr. Cao looked at the guard who spoke just now. The guard was clearly standing in the hall but he didn't have much sense of presence. His back was already wet with sweat. He thought that Duke Ding had the reputation of a famous teacher, and Prince Zhou would definitely care about his reputation, so Dare to give it a go.

It's not that he can't think of the consequences of failure, but that he wants to take a gamble in advance, in case he wins the bet, the Cao family will become rich.

Ziheng returned to his seat, "My uncle and my father taught me from an early age to be safe and not to underestimate anyone. When I came back that day, I invited people from the mountain village into the city."

Mr. Cao's pupils constricted, and he remembered that this man had been with the emperor for many years, so it could be said that the emperor had taught him everything.

Ziheng's voice was a bit cold, "I invited the farmers that Ms. Cao rented. If one household cannot testify, I can invite more witnesses."

Master Cao hurriedly waved his hands, "No, I can't."

However, it was Ziheng's cold eyes that answered Mr. Cao.

Master Cao hurriedly got up, "Your Highness, I have lost my head and talked nonsense. I will go back and give you a satisfactory answer."

Ziheng's expression was indifferent, "The rumors have already spread, the Cao family denies that the people will definitely guess that I am bullying others."

Mr. Cao has a bitter mouth, and now he can only swallow the bitter fruit himself. He regrets letting go of the rumors, "I will solve it."

Ziheng picked up the teacup, Master Cao hurriedly turned and left.

Jiao Huwei asked, "My lord, can the Cao family really handle it well?"

Ziheng hummed, he had already given Miss Cao a chance, but unfortunately, this stubborn one reminded him of more women who plotted against him, heh!

Mr. Cao clarified the rumors in person, and took out Ms. Cao's marriage certificate as evidence. She did not deny that Ms. Cao hanged herself, but distorted the reason for her hanging.

In addition, Mr. Cao personally showed up and said that the younger sister had never left the city with him, and the Cao family also found a young servant similar to Miss Cao to show up, confirming that it was the young servant who followed out of the city that day.

In addition, Ziheng didn't explain a word here, and the Cao family mentioned that many people wanted to plot against Zhou Shizi, and the Cao family didn't want to get involved.

Ziheng paid close attention to the whole process secretly. It has to be said that the Cao family responded quickly enough and was good at guiding public opinion.

However, this Miss Cao will not have a good marriage in the future.

When Yang Xi and his wife knew that Ziheng was being counted against, Yang Xi was about to meet the second daughter of Tang. The four girls in the Tang family were all descendants. The girl who was born in the first place is not yet ready.

The queen invited the women of the Tang family to enjoy the flowers, and Yang Xi met the women of the Tang family with the queen.

The second girl Tang's mother is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family, the Liu family. The Tang family has been counted in Jiaozhou. It has long been rumored that the emperor selected a girl from a scholarly family for the son of Zhou.

This time only the Tang family received the invitation to come to Jiaozhou, and the Tang family attached great importance to it. They already liked the Zhou family school, and the successful marriage this time would only benefit the Tang family.

Yang Xi first looked at the Liu family. She had all the information on the entire Tang family in her hand. Xixuan had already found out that the Liu family was in charge of most of the Tang family's property. It can be said that the mistress of the Tang family is an expert in financial management.

Ancient books are very expensive, and authentic works by famous artists are even more difficult to find. The Tang family has no shortage of money not only because of the rich foundation left by their ancestors, but also because of marrying a good wife to take care of the property.

Why did Yang Xi pay attention to the Liu family? Because the Tang family has been able to preserve the Liu family for many years in troubled times. Of course, it also has something to do with the Tang family's knowledge of current affairs.

Mrs. Liu felt the princess' gaze, she was not false at all, although she admired the princess, she was not bad, instead she smiled generously.

The smile on the corner of Yang Xi's mouth grew wider, "I heard that Miss Liu is a hero among girls, and I finally met Miss Liu today."

Liu's ears turned red, "I can't be a hero, I don't do much."

Wanning smiled and said, "Miss Liu protects the common people in troubled times, so don't be modest."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "I also rely on the trust and support of my husband's family, and I must not give the good name to me alone."

Mrs. Liu is very clear-headed. She could not come out to appease the people without the support of the Tang family, because her husband gave her all the power, and the people would see her the most, and they would be more grateful to her.

Wanning and Yang Xi looked at each other, such a clear-headed mother must have taught her a good daughter.

Yang Xi eased the atmosphere and said, "The Tang family is indeed admirable."

Liu's eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles, the Tang family and her are one.

Wanning looked at Miss Tang Er. The girl is seventeen years old and already has a reputation as a scholar. She asked, "Why didn't the girl take the provincial examination last year?"
