Do you know how I have lived these years?
If a butterfly can cause a storm, what can a book cause?
Ximen Qing will tell you the facts - it's better to beat the odds.
Originally, he relied on his cleverness and cunning to win lawsuits and became famous in the county.
On weekdays, he is quite comfortable walking around the streets and flirting with beautiful women.
He has even asked Mrs. Wang to set a trap for Sister Jin Lian. According to the established trajectory, maybe he will get what he wants.
Unexpectedly, a book that suddenly became popular in Bianjing City directly brought Wu Dutou home from a business trip.
And at the critical moment, it fell from the sky.
So the official of Ximen was very sad. Not only did he not eat the meat, but he was almost killed by Wu Song.
If Wu Erlang hadn't died and Wu Erlang hadn't been worried, the official Ximen might have been killed on the spot.
However, although he escaped with his life, he was also cut off from right and wrong, became an eunuch, and was forced to establish a written document.
When he wanted to secretly seek revenge with the help of the government, he found that the Wu brothers had moved their family and disappeared.
When Ximen Qing found out what happened, he almost died of anger.
He hated Wu Song, and he hated Cao Bin even more, but no matter which one, he had no ability to take revenge.
He didn't know Wu Song's whereabouts, and he couldn't afford to offend Cao Bin.
However, there is no unstoppable path for him, and he actually found a way to get rich from the "Jin Ping Mei" and expanded his family property crazily.
Although Ximen Qing's character is not good, he is good at flattering others.
Just a year ago, he even contacted the housekeeper of Cai's house, gave all his family property to Cai Jing, and successfully became Cai Jing's godson.
Cao Bin did not expect that even though he had hidden many plot points, some of Ximen Qing's trajectories coincided with "The Plum in the Golden Ping".
Later, Cai Jing recommended Ximen Qing to Duan Wang Zhao Ji.
Due to the similar affinity, it didn't take long for him to become Zhao Ji's confidant.
With such a strong backer, Ximen Qing suddenly felt that he had the confidence to take revenge.
Originally, he had no intention of causing trouble with Cao Bin so early.
This time, the private plan was not to move the mountains, just to please Zhao Ji.
Unexpectedly, the Xixia people found Cao Bin again.
Although there are now more than a hundred civil and military officials in the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion, Ximen Qing doesn't take it to heart.
There are King Duan and Cai Jing behind him, and his backers are no worse than Cao Bin.
He didn't believe that these people dared to interfere indiscriminately and cause trouble for themselves.
Besides, the stolen goods he arranged are the treasures of King Duan, so he must be extremely anxious now.
If Cao Bin protected the Xixia people, he would be accused of colluding with the Xixia people and stealing the royal treasures.
When the time comes, if you find the stolen goods yourself, you can not only gain more trust from King Duan, but also get revenge.
Even if Grand Master Pang Ji comes forward, Cao Bin will pay the price.
Just when he thought that Cao Bin would care about his current background and argue with him, Pan Bao unexpectedly threw a pot of hot soup in his face and was hit all over his face.
Ximen Qing jumped to his feet in pain and shouted angrily:
"You are so brave. Prince Duan's palace has been stolen. Not only are you harboring the robbers, but you are still so rampant."
Seeing Sister Yang looking at him, Pan Bao became even more excited and cursed:
"A dog-like thing wants to scare us too?"
As he said that, he jumped up to Ximen Qing and kicked him on the head.
Pang Yu also laughed and cursed:
"I don't know whether life or death is just a dog. Do you really think you are Cai Jing's son?"
"Don't say it's you, it's Cai Jing himself. Do you think I'm afraid?"
Ximen Qing did not expect that these people in front of him would be so arrogant. They did not care about King Duan and Cai Jing at all, and hurriedly shouted to his subordinates:
"Come and save me!"
When the servants of Prince Duan's Mansion heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and did not dare to step forward.
Seeing this, Ximen Qing felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know where he had made a mistake, which led to such an accident...
Seeing Ximen Qing dying and being carried away by the palace servants, Bu Yishan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not expect that the children of the most powerful people like Pang Yu and Pan Bao could offend Cai Jing and King Duan for Cao Bin.
Where is the lack of power? This is clearly at the center of power.
Although he was not an important official in the imperial court, he had enough weight.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret.
If he had known that the Song Dynasty was so difficult to get along with, he might as well have tried his best to curry favor with Cao Bin from the beginning.
Even if he doesn't get the status of a general of the She family, he will still be much better than he is now.
Now that I have taken refuge, I don’t even have the little capital I have, so I have no choice but to say:
"Uncle Cao, I have not moved home and am willing to be loyal and a slave for generations to come."
Cao Bin waved his hands disdainfully and said:
"There's no need to tell me this. I don't believe in empty words. Let's see how you behave..."
"If you can convince other tribes in Xixia to vote for me, I will believe in you even more!"
After hearing this, Wu Yijiashan breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Wu Yijia was finally saved.
Seeing that the matter had subsided, everyone didn't pay attention and continued to eat and drink.
However, not long after, someone suddenly came to report:
"Young Master, His Highness Prince Duan has arrived with the people from Kaifeng Mansion."
Cao Bin's eyes suddenly condensed, and he turned to look at the trembling Muyi Jieshan and said:
"Old guy, did you do anything in Prince Duan's Mansion?"
Wu Yijie Shan quickly shook his head and said:
"No, absolutely not. I wanted to give Prince Duan... a gift, but Prince Duan kicked us out after hearing my request."
At this time, Zhao Ji had already led people into the Zhongjing Houfu, and he glanced at everyone with a gloomy face.
Everyone was immediately silent, and even Pang Yu and Pan Bao did not dare to speak casually.
Zhao Ji then turned his gaze to Cao Bin and said, "Cao Bin, you don't take this king seriously at all, do you?"
Cao Bin pretended to be confused and asked, "What does your Majesty mean by this?"
Zhao Ji's eyes were full of anger. He glanced at Cao Bin and said to Zhan Zhao behind him, "You tell me!"
Zhan Zhao quickly stepped forward and said:
"Uncle, please forgive me. We received a report from Prince Duan's Mansion. Several volumes of famous paintings were missing from the Prince's Mansion. The chief suspect is the one who did not move."
Zhao Ji nodded and said:
"Cao Bin, what else do you have to say? I bought all my paintings for 10,000 taels each, and I lost six pairs in total."
Hearing Zhao Ji's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Pang Yu shouted directly:
"My lord, are you exaggerating? Ten thousand taels of silver a piece? Where can there be such an expensive painting!"
Cao Bin also nodded and said: "My lord, this is too fake..."
Zhao Ji said disdainfully: "You guys, how do you know how precious famous paintings are? Don't say ten thousand taels, even one hundred thousand taels, I don't think it's expensive."
As he spoke, he turned around and said, "Fujin, tell them where you bought these paintings and how much money they spent."
At this time, two girls dressed as men walked out from behind Zhao Ji.
One of them nodded repeatedly, and Karanzi said angrily with big eyes:
"Cao... Uncle Zhongjing, we didn't lie to you. I bought them at Duobao Pavilion. Each painting costs ten thousand taels."
Another one also said: "I can testify that the princess is telling the truth. My father is Li Gefei, a doctor of Taixue. I can vouch for it in his name."
