Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 87: Kou Yang dies

"Oh? Mrs. Tong is very happy, right?"

Prefect Cao asked his daughter Cao Miao with great interest.

Cao Miao nodded seriously: "Jiayue is so happy that she has no time to talk to us.

"When we chased her down the mountain, she had already jumped on the carriage. She only told us that she was worried that Chiyu would be hungry, and then she happily went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Hahaha, good good!"

Cao Fu Yin smiled and praised the Seventh Madam, "You really gave birth to a good daughter. She has done a great thing for our Cao family."

Madam Seven did not understand the mystery, she just said with a smile: "The child is sensible, it's all because of the good teaching of the master."

Prefect Cao said happily, "Miao'er, even though we didn't make it to the mountain today, don't be disappointed. On May 19th, go with your mother and father to the Wanghai Tower to watch the tide."

Cao Miao was immediately overjoyed and agreed immediately, his brows lit with joy.

Are you just going on a trip with dad?

No, no, no, this means how much she and her mother are loved by her father.

This also means that their status in the Cao family will be more stable, that they will be treated differently in all aspects, and that the attitudes of the servants in the mansion towards them will also be different.

After Cao Miao happily left the room, Cao Yong opened a cabinet, took out a box from the bottom, and moved it to the table.

It was obvious that the box was extremely heavy, because even though Cao Fuyin was carrying it with both hands, he still looked exhausted.

Cao Fuyin once worked as a retainer in the house of a nobleman. At that time, he was not doing the job of a writer, but was a half-thug.

Therefore, Cao Fuyin's boxing skills are quite good, and even though he has not put them aside for many years, his physical strength is still good.

The box seemed heavy to him even when he was carrying it, and Madam Seventh couldn't help but feel curious.

The box was placed on the table, and there was a clang sound, which seemed to be very heavy.

Madam Seven asked in confusion, "Master, what are you moving? Just ask the servants to do it. Don't hurt your waist."

Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "It's not convenient for the servants to interfere with this matter."

As he spoke, Cao Yong opened the lid of the box.

When Madam Seven saw it, she was immediately surprised: "Wow! This... is such a big golden cat!"

The box contained a golden cat, which was the same size as a real cat and was carved to look lifelike.

This cat is made entirely of pure gold, and it shines brightly.

Judging from the struggling look on Cao Yong's face just now, this golden cat must be solid.

Cao Yong gently stroked the golden cat, admiring the exquisite carving craftsmanship, and casually ordered: "Go and arrange a sedan chair. I want to go to the prime minister's residence."

Madam Seven was surprised and asked, "Go to the Prime Minister's residence? Could it be that this golden cat is... Didn't Madam Tong say that she has found the reincarnation of Chiyu and is very happy now? Do we still need to go to the Prime Minister's residence to give gifts?"

Cao Yong laughed out loud: "Women's opinions, women's opinions! The highlight of this matter is all about this golden cat, do you understand?"

The Seventh Lady is beautiful, but her brains are obviously not up to par with her beauty.

She looked at Cao Yong with a confused look on her face.

Cao Yong was in a good mood, so he smiled and explained to her, "It was my intention to make Madam Tong happy and let Prime Minister Qin see it. Now I am sending this golden cat to apologize to Prime Minister Qin, and Prime Minister Qin can see that it is my loyalty!"

Madam Seven asked in confusion, "But didn't Madam Tong find the white cat? Why is she..."

Cao Yong interrupted her and said, "You have to remember that it was the reincarnated Chi Yu who found Madam Tong. The cat has nothing to do with our Cao family! Miao Er was just a witness who happened to be there on Phoenix Mountain!"

Cao Yong patted the golden cat and said with a proud smile: "Since I couldn't find the ruler-sized jade, I had to cast a golden cat to cheer Madam Tong up. From this golden cat, Prime Minister Qin can see not only my loyalty, but also my grievances."

Cao Yong closed the lid of the box, picked it up, and said with a smile: "I have been the prefect for two and a half years. It's time to move up a level!"

……

Cao Yong held the golden cat, excitedly got into the carriage, and rushed to the Qin Mansion.

In the Wuxia Hall in the backyard of the Qin Mansion, Eunuch Li was reporting to Qin Hui about the situation of the two brothers Yang Che and Yang Yuan. Qin Hui seemed to be in a good mood today, standing behind the desk, writing with a brush.

"Ananda, all living beings, in the cycle of reincarnation in the world, are caused by the two inverted views of discrimination, which arise in the place where they are, and the cycle of karma. What are the two views..."

Qin Hui suddenly picked up his pen, looked at his handwriting, and asked calmly, "Is this all you have found out about Yang Yuan?"

"Yes! I dare not neglect the things that the Holy Prime Minister has told me, and I have been investigating them diligently. But Yang Yuan's behavior is really strange, and it is really hard to figure out. In the past two days, he has even established a relationship with Cao Fuyin. I don't know whether I should continue to investigate, and I would like to ask the Holy Prime Minister for guidance."

"This Yang Yuan..."

Qin Hui frowned. Even with his experienced eyes, he couldn't figure out the reason behind Yang Yuan.

It is still unknown whether Yang Yuan has any connection with the Imperial City Division, but now another "Youqiu Division" has popped up, and it is also related to Cao Yong...

It seems that this person has more secrets than his brother?

But as for the threat, I don't feel it at all.

Kill him? Then it would be impossible to find out what secrets he has.

If we don’t kill...will it cause unnecessary trouble?
Qin Hui thought for a long time, still a little undecided, so he said: "Keep watching, I don't want him, but who is hiding behind him! What secrets are there?"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

"As for Yang Che..."

Qin Hui's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent: "Is he already investigating Guan Hao?"

Guan Hao is the Ju Huaguan that Yang Che and Kou Heiyi are investigating. The name Ju Huaguan is of course also his pseudonym.

Eunuch Li said, "Yes, in the past two days, Yang Che and a soldier from the imperial city named Kou Heiyi have been secretly tracking and investigating Guan Hao."

Guan Hao was not only a big merchant, but also a big pirate.

This person was not only a key executor in Qin Hui and Wan Xinzheng's efforts to open up larger smuggling channels, but also played a major role in the "Moving Three Mountains" plan.

Qin Hui's face darkened: "Kou Heiyi..., what position does he hold in the Imperial City Department?"

"He is the head of the third capital under the Imperial City Command.

"By the way, Yang Che has just been promoted and is now the deputy head of the Third City."

"Oh?" Qin Hui's expression changed, and he asked, "Who else is accompanying them to monitor Guan Hao?"

"It's just the two of them, there's no one else."

Qin Hui frowned, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "One captain and one deputy captain, are there no other imperial soldiers to cooperate with the investigation? Haha..."

Qin Hui put down his pen, paced a few steps slowly, then suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "Make arrangements immediately to kill Kou Heiyi and Yang Che!"

Eunuch Li was startled and asked in a lost voice, "Saint Prime Minister, will this alert the enemy?"

Qin Hui shook his head, a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"They should have discovered that Guan Hao had contact with the generals of the Imperial Guards. However, they have no evidence and have not suspected me. Therefore, they are worried that this matter will become a big deal and that I will take advantage of the situation and interfere in the affairs of the three yamen.

"That's why they are so careful. Now it seems that they haven't reported to the Imperial City Department yet, so they haven't even mobilized their own soldiers. If we can kill them both now, we can buy us enough time..."

Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "They must die! Immediately!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Li bowed his head and said, "I will go back and arrange it immediately."

"No, I will send 'Sangen' to do this, and you, Guoxin, will be responsible for the coordination and finishing."

Qin Hui walked back to the desk, picked up his pen, stared at Eunuch Li and said, "Make sure you do it cleanly, don't leave any clues!"

"I obey your command!" Li Rong's expression also became stern. He clasped his fists in front of him and then retreated.

Qin Hui filled up the ink well and continued writing: "First, sentient beings have their own false views. Second, sentient beings have their own false views..."

Qin Hui stopped writing and admired the big characters he had written. Suddenly, he swung his pen hard and wiped out all the good words.

The strokes are as sharp as a Wu hook, full of murderous intent!
