Zhang Zhibai seemed to feel that someone was watching him.
And you don’t have to look back to know who it is...
But he still looked calm and said seriously: "Fan Zhongyan is the governor of Kaifeng, so he should be responsible for maintaining law and order in Kyoto. This way he will not attract too much attention and can also investigate secretly."
After saying that, he looked back slightly.
That look seemed to be saying...
I just discussed the matter as it happened, and did not deliberately criticize anyone, nor did I bother to use this method!
But Cao An still had a cold face.
Just as he was about to get off work, Liu E spoke: "...Fan Zhongyan's words are indeed appropriate, but..."
She hesitated for a moment and saw Cao An's fierce eyes.
I couldn't help but smile in my heart: This young man is quite friendly...
But, do you dare to start a war?
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I think this matter is inappropriate!"
Cao An stood up resolutely.
He was not tall, but he stood upright and stared directly at Zhang Zhibai.
Everyone looked sideways, smiling as if they were just watching the fun.
Zhang Zhibai was very indifferent, and didn't even raise his eyelids... He was waiting for the young man to fight back, and then found the flaw to kill him with one blow!
Dare you not use Zaifu as dry food?
I'm here to give you some extra lessons!
Cao An didn't care and continued: "If there are really spies sent by Xixia among these refugees, it may be difficult for the Kaifeng government officials to identify them."
"Don't say such empty words."
Zhang Zhibai took advantage of the situation and replied: "You said Fan Zhongyan is not suitable, then who will do this?"
Why!
There seemed to be a few sighs in the air.
This boy is still too young...
If you dare to step forward without preparation, are you waiting to be beaten?
"Someone is coming!"
"..."
Everyone's eyes converged on one place.
Cao An's eyes were as bright as fire and he said loudly: "Xiaguan is a low-key person. If you do something wrong, the worst thing you can do is go home and starve to death! My husband's family has a big business, so naturally it is not easy to take risks!"
Snapped!
Invisible slaps hit the faces of the three prime ministers.
It's hot and irritating!
Zhang Zhibai opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't expect this young man to be so resolute...
Do you want to give me a slap in the face even if you are ruined?
Anger suddenly arose in his heart, and he said coldly: "In that case, go ahead. Even if you are wrong, I will plead for you in front of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."
This is very generous.
But Cao An knew that this was blocking his own escape!
If he really fails in his job, even if the Queen Mother doesn't care, he will become the laughing stock of the civil and military officials in the court, and his future is destined to be slim...
He stared directly at Zhang Zhibai and said calmly: "Then what if the official succeeds by luck?"
"Then I'll take credit for you!"
Zhang Zhibai paused for a moment, and then said coldly: "As a courtier of the Song Dynasty, when you work for the country...do you have to negotiate conditions?"
An old guy is an old guy, and when he opens his mouth, he is sharp!
But Cao An took this trick and said with a pinched neck: "I don't want any reward!"
"Then what do you want!"
Lao Zhang was really angry this time.
This boy is not from my family, otherwise I would whip him eight times a day!
Cao An was not afraid at all, and said word by word: "The Kaifeng Mansion is not suitable for screening Xia traitors, and Prime Minister Zhang's move is unquestionable..."
"Shuzi!"
Zhang Zhibai exploded.
He would definitely not make such a bet with Cao An, and he couldn't afford to lose this person!
The dignified prime minister was forced to gamble by a young man. It was disgusting whether he won or lost. Lao Zhang had been the prime minister for two dynasties. What kind of status was that?
"alright!"
Liu E saw that the heat was almost over and spoke out to suppress the farce.
She raised her eyes to look at Cao An and said expressionlessly: "If you are not sure, you should consider this matter in the long run. Otherwise, I will not let you go easily if you ruin the important affairs of the court."
Boy, here are the steps for you.
Come down quickly and admit your mistake to the boss, and this matter will be over.
Lao Zhang wouldn't really treat a young man like that...
He still wants to lose face.
You, Cao An, have taken the initiative for Fan Zhongyan, which can be regarded as your filial piety, and I will not care about this matter.
All in all, bow your head quickly!
"I have a lot of business outside..."
Cao An suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "The Chamber of Commerce also employs many 'guys'. They know the streets of Bianliang very well. They can tell at a glance which one is a foreigner and which one is a local."
...Are you serious?
Liu E was stunned, with a serious look on her wrinkled face: "Relying on those splashing... guys to identify Xia traitors, are you sure?"
Naturally, Cao An would not give any guarantee that it would work.
He just nodded seriously: "There are many of my buddies, and they are easier to hide. They can blend into the crowd and become common people. No one can see their purpose!"
yes.
You are a common people, why do you need to pretend?
Liu E was in a daze for a moment, but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Everyone also thought of Cao An's other identity...
He is not only the grandson of Cao Lili, but also an out-and-out rogue leader!
…
Leave the palace and return to Wanyue Tower.
Before Cao An could get down to business, Lao Fan came angrily and killed him.
"Shu Zi, suffer death!"
Forty-sized shoe soles flew over, and Cao An lowered his head subconsciously.
Arhat grabbed the shoe and froze in place.
Lao Fan rushed over and looked at him coldly: "Bring it here!"
What?
Arhat looked at him blankly.
Snapped!
Lao Fan jumped up and slapped him, grabbed the shoes, and continued to 'chase' Cao An.
The two of them were jumping up and down in Wanyue Tower.
The dancers hid one after another, fearing that the old man would accidentally eat them.
Seeing this, Cao An hurriedly greeted them and shouted: "Quick, help stop me! Whoever can stop Mr. Fan will be rewarded! Double... no, five times!"
For a time, Wanyue Building became lively.
The dancers are not good at anything else, why don't they deal with men with a pinch of salt?
Even though he is Lao Fan, who considers himself to be a clear leader, he is still a man!
A female prostitute with a graceful figure quietly stepped forward and bumped into Lao Fan in the blink of an eye.
She cried out in pain, her body softened, and she fell into Lao Fan's arms. She said in panic: "Ouch! Mr. Fan, please slow down, you... you have hurt the entire slave family."
"you!"
Lao Fan was trembling with anger.
He raised his hand to twitch, but held it back... The anger in his heart towards Cao An reached its peak in an instant!
It was so easy to push the female prostitute away.
Fan Zhongyan had just taken two steps when another woman bumped into him...
This woman was even more wild, hanging on Lao Fan like an octopus. The two of them stumbled violently and almost didn't get out...
"You bastard! My grandson!"
Lao Fan roared, and his native language came out.
He hurriedly 'buckled' the woman off his body, and his whole body had fallen into a strange kind of madness...
For a moment, he seemed to fall in love with the chase.
Boy, don't let me catch you!
Outside.
In front of the gate of Wanyue Tower, several vendors gathered together.
Everyone listened to the 'bustling' inside, and couldn't hide the envy in their eyes: "Didn't I say that Wanyue Tower is only open at night? Why is it so 'working' during the day?"
"Hey, how can we guess the thoughts of rich people?"
"That's true... eh, no! I just saw... that the person who entered seemed to be Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Fan Zhongyan, right? I must have read it right!"
Everyone was stunned.
Someone quickly lowered their voice: "If you saw it, pretend you didn't see it! Cao An and Fan Zhongyan have a close relationship... He is not easy to mess with! If you dare to act blindly, you will have to set up a stall in the Bianhe River tomorrow!"
