Jiang Ping said angrily: "Even Mr. Bao found him not guilty, how can you get revenge? Your cousin was not killed by others at all."
When Bai Yutang heard this, his eyebrows suddenly stood up and he said:
"Cao Bin is a well-known villain in the capital. Everyone knows that Li Jia was beaten to death by him."
"Furthermore, I was entrusted by my uncle to kill Cao Bin for revenge. If I fail, how can I face him?"
Jiang Ping said disdainfully:
"Your uncle is also a court official, right? I heard that his official reputation is not very good."
"Moreover, a court official actually knows the law and breaks it, and sends you to assassinate a noble of the court. Can he be a good person?"
"I think you simply can't tolerate your own failure, and that's why you're so dissatisfied."
As he spoke, he mocked:
"You are noble and great. Among all the heroes in the world, you are the most powerful!"
"I don't understand, what kind of hero is someone who can't afford to lose?"
"Is it so difficult to admit that others are higher than yourself?"
Hearing this, Bai Yutang suddenly became angry, drew out his steel knife and shouted:
"You fart, will I lose?"
Jiang Ping became angry when he saw Bai Yutang drawing the knife. He took off his clothes and walked forward a few steps:
"Who are you trying to scare with a broken knife? If you have the guts, stab me here. If I frown, then you are not your fourth brother. I will call you daddy!"
As he said that, he pressed forward and pressed against Bai Yutang's steel knife.
Bai Yutang was forced back by Jiang Ping.
Lu Fang suddenly slapped the table and said angrily:
"Stop it, brothers are using knives and guns among themselves. Do you want us Five Rats to become the laughingstock of the world?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yutang quickly put the steel sword into its sheath, knelt down and cried:
"Brother, what I said is true. Then Cao Bin is not a good person at all. I have a clear conscience. Don't force me."
Jiang Ping also covered up his clothes and said:
"Lao Wu, didn't you say that Cao Bin has done all kinds of bad things?"
"If you are really a good man, join us in the Kaifeng Mansion, personally seize the evidence of Cao Bin, and bring him to justice in an open and just manner!"
"If Master Bao really protects this person, you don't have to tell me, we will leave Kaifeng Mansion together and help you kill Cao Bin!"
Jiang Ping is the wise man among the Five Rats and has the most insight. He understands that if he wants to persuade the proud Bai Yutang, other than provoking the general, any other good words will have no effect.
Therefore, from the beginning, he kept using aggressive methods to deal with Bai Yutang.
After saying this, Jiang Ping suddenly became happy when Bai Yutang stopped talking, patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder and said:
"Then it's settled."
As he spoke, he pondered for a moment:
"We can't just go to Kaifeng Mansion empty-handed. How can we get some kind of meeting ceremony so as not to lose the prestige of our Five Rats!"
"Now there happens to be a silver thief who is doing evil all the way from the south of the Yangtze River to the north. Let's capture him as a meeting gift!"
"Fifth brother is the best in Qinggong and the highest in martial arts. It depends on you to do this."
Bai Yutang said speechlessly: "Fourth brother is so shameless!"
Jiang Ping burst out laughing when he saw Bai Yutang talking to him.
For a moment, all the dark clouds that shrouded the brothers dissipated.
Just do what you say, these brothers are also straightforward people.
Now that he decided to defect to Kaifeng Mansion, he immediately sent out his troops to inquire about the silver thief.
What they didn't expect was that the silver thief had excellent light skills. They chased him for thousands of miles, all the way to Bianliang, Tokyo, but they couldn't catch the silver thief...
The back garden of Zhongjing Marquis Mansion.
Cao Bin is accompanying Du Shiniang to entertain Master Li.
This is a banquet specially held to express gratitude.
Du Shiniang originally thought that Master Li would not be willing to set foot in the Hou Mansion again because of Cao Bin.
Unexpectedly, Master Li readily agreed after receiving the invitation.
It is late spring now, the wind is clear and the moon is high.
The open space among the colorful flowers was surrounded by two gauze screens, and several lanterns were erected to illuminate the surrounding area.
The gentle night breeze brought with it a few wisps of floral fragrance, adding a lot of relaxation and comfort to the whole night banquet.
Du Shiniang's face was flushed with red, she raised the delicate wine glass and said:
"Senior Sister, thank you so much."
"If you hadn't lowered your status and stepped on stage to assist, I'm afraid my house wouldn't be so popular."
"Sister, I'd like to give you a drink to express my gratitude!"
Li Shishi had a drink with Du Shiniang and said with a smile:
"Sister, you are so polite. The two of us are close friends. This is how we should be."
Du Shiniang put down her wine glass, took a handkerchief to fan the hot air from her face, and said:
"Actually, I have one more thing to trouble my sister about."
Master Li asked doubtfully: "I wonder if there is anything else going on with my sister?"
Du Shiniang glanced at Cao Bin sweetly and said:
"Cao Lang said he wanted me to personally take charge of Wasi's accounts."
"Sister also knows that I come from Yingchun Yuan."
"It's no better than my sister who was taken away by her mother alone since she was a child, and she doesn't have a loyal maid by her side."
"So I want to find my sister someone who understands accounting."
"I wonder if my sister can give me one."
Li Shishi glanced at Cao Bin in surprise, but he didn't expect that he would actually fulfill his promise and hand over a huge property to Du Shiniang.
For some reason, she felt a slight twinge of jealousy in her heart.
"My sister comes to me for help because I can trust her."
"I will bring you Chunliu's body deed later."
"This is a good job. It's better than wallowing in the sea of misery with me."
"I'm afraid that girl Chunliu will go crazy with joy."
Du Shiniang glanced at Cao Bin with watery eyes and advised:
"It's time for my sister to find a good man to marry as soon as possible."
"There won't be so much sadness."
Master Li rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that easy. Do you think anyone can be as lucky as you?"
As she spoke, she waved her hands in discomfort and said, "Don't talk about that."
Then he said with some revenge:
"I haven't seen your dancing for a long time. Today I want to check to see if you have forgotten your previous lessons."
Du Shiniang smiled and said: "I have been practicing dance since I was five or six years old. How could I forget?"
"Since my sister wants to watch it, of course my sister is willing to dance."
After saying that, she stood up and said, "Sister, wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes."
After a while, she changed into a waist-cinching dance skirt and came back, saying, "Senior sister, will you score music for me?"
Cao Bin reached out and took the pipa and said, "I'll do it!"
Du Shiniang immediately beamed, nodded quickly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Cao Lang."
Cao Bin directly strummed the strings, and as the music sounded, Du Shiniang began to dance among the flowers.
Seeing Cao and Du acting like a married couple, Li Shishi felt even more sour.
I even regretted letting Du Shiniang dance.
"ah!"
Du Shiniang suddenly tilted her body and fell to the ground. She frowned and said with a bitter smile:
"I haven't practiced for a long time. I'm feeling rusty after all."
When Cao Bin saw her falling, he helped her onto the stone bench and said, "Your foot is sprained. Let me take a look!"
"Don't......"
Before she could react, Cao Bin had taken off her stockings and embroidered shoes.
Because they had just gone through strenuous exercise, the heat was still rising from those glistening feet.
When Du Shiniang saw this, her face turned red with embarrassment, she hurriedly shrank her feet and said:
"No, it's very dirty."
Cao Bin didn't shy away from it and started kneading it directly.
While rubbing it, he said with a smile: "Where is it dirty? I think it smells great!"
When Du Shiniang saw this, she suddenly became tender, and her heart was filled to the brim.
Li Shishi's eyes turned into lemon shapes.
Thinking of how he had thrown himself to the doctor when he had sprained his ankle a few days ago, he felt quite aggrieved.
"Are there any men like him in the world?"
