Fan Zhongyan was silent.
He knew these words were right, although it hurt his heart...
Liu E's desire for hegemony could no longer be suppressed. She was worried that the court would be divided by powerful ministers, and she was even more worried that the rights in her hands would be taken away!
So this battle is inevitable!
A long sigh.
Lao Fan held on to the table, as if he had lost his energy: "I have no intention of fighting with them, but...this country belongs to everyone in the world. It's better to cry alone than to cry all the way, right?"
If you lose your rights, you can still be rich at worst.
But the people who were caught in the middle suffered misfortune!
Cao An was slightly stunned. He endured it for a while but still couldn't hold it back: "But your Majesty can't suppress Lu Yijian, at least not now! The Queen Mother cannot be abolished, otherwise the Song Dynasty will be in danger!"
Um?
Fan Zhongyan looked over in disbelief.
He never expected that these words would come out of Cao An's mouth.
Cao An was stared at with fury, and said with a wry smile: "It's still what I said, the grievances of the Cao family have nothing to do with the court... I know who I should approach to collect debts!"
Who to look for?
Liu E demoted Cao Lili, but did not kill them all.
On the contrary, her original intention was not to mess with Lao Cao.
Because his nephew had caused trouble, and because everyone in the court was afraid of Cao's reputation, everyone did not want such a powerful being to remain in the court, so they worked together to get him down...
That's all!
How can anyone not lose in a court battle?
If you lose and are demoted, it's because you have no ability. If you take revenge because of this, Cao An will probably become the enemy of the entire Song Dynasty.
But the chamberlains Yang Huaimin and Luo Chongxun...
These people are all the masterminds behind the Cao family’s harm!
Luo Chongxun had been scolded by Cao Lili in public, so he held a grudge and bribed Yang Huaimin, the eunuch who was visiting Cao's family, and humiliated Cao Lili several times on the road.
Lao Cao is a strong man, so naturally he can't stand this kind of bullying.
But after his death, Yang Huaimin was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he found a killer and killed the entire Cao family!
As for whether there are other people involved behind the scenes, only these 'parties' know clearly...
Maybe in the near future, those people will tell the truth when a steel knife is placed on their necks, right?
As for now...
Cao An doesn't care about the general situation in the court, as long as he has the prime ministers and assistants.
As long as we can successfully deliver the work and slap Lao Zhang in the face, it will be considered as if it was not in vain!
In fact, many things are not about hatred.
But Cao An is as smart as a needle...
You, Lao Zhang, bully people like rabbits, then you have to pay the price!
…
He respectfully saw Lao Fan off to the door.
The gazes of the surrounding vendors were like searchlights, glaring at me.
Everyone has an obscure expression on their face...
"What do they look like?"
Old Fan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly remembered the 'madness' just now, and his face turned red and then suddenly green.
Cao An felt uncomfortable.
He immediately jumped up and pointed at the vendors angrily: "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Turn your head away! Whoever looks at it again... Arhat, tear down his stall!"
Who is Cao An?
Rogue!
Who among the people in Bianliang City does not know and who is not afraid of them?
The vendors hurriedly averted their eyes, everyone hunched their necks and hid behind the stalls, but they were still glancing here from the corner of their eyes, and they couldn't help it...
"I have a great reputation throughout my life!"
Fan Zhongyan looked up to the sky and sighed.
Snapped!
Cao An received a slap in the face in full view of everyone...
"My many years of clear name have been lost in one fell swoop!"
Snapped!
Cao An received another slap and watched Fan Zhongyan leave with aggrieved face.
Then he got angry.
"...Arhat!"
"The villain is here!"
"Lift it! Lift it all! Damn it, you are doing business in front of me, have you paid protection money? Do you have any professional ethics... Damn it, I can't beat you to death!"
The vendors looked at each other with pleading looks on their faces.
If Cao An is the King of Hell, then Arhat is the little devil who is seeking his life.
The King of Hell is not scary, but the little devil is difficult to deal with!
Jian Yuerong followed behind, shaking her head in confusion: "Forget it, Lang Jun is just angry... Don't say anything nonsense. Mr. Fan is Lang Jun's elder. He just reprimanded him a few times, so go ahead. "
She has to be a woman, and a beauty at that!
After Mrs. Jian's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief again.
"I just said Mr. Fan wouldn't have that kind of hobby..."
"That's right, who just said that Mr. Fan likes violence?"
"...I knew it wouldn't be the case."
Cao An staggered as soon as he walked in the door and almost fell down.
The anger that had been suppressed so easily came to a head in an instant!
"Lift it! Leave no one behind... Hurry! I want to hear the sound, I want to hear their wailing!"
…
There was a crackling and smashing sound outside.
Many people started crying.
After a while, it became quiet again...
Cao An felt much better.
He cursed and drank tea: "Damn it, you dare to arrange it for me? Is it because someone can't hold the knife, or are you drifting again? In Bianliang, I am the only one who can curse people, you guys are nothing!"
Jian Yuerong couldn't laugh or cry, and the pride in her chest trembled with laughter.
He gently rubbed Cao An's back a few more times, half-coaxing and half-smiling: "Come on, just like a child. We who run a brothel, how can we be spared and criticized? If we are angry every time, then that person will be No need to live anymore.”
"No, we must smash them!"
Cao An slapped the table with a fierce expression: "Otherwise these people would have turned against Tiangang! I am a gangster, how can I do it if no one is afraid of me?"
Jian Yuerong had no choice but to follow him and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let them set up a stall elsewhere tomorrow."
She likes this way of talking to her husband very much, like a loving mother coaxing her child, and this child is also very up-to-date!
He is smart and ruthless, but he can remain innocent to those around him.
Such people are scary, but also real...
…
West of the city.
And it’s the west of the city!
Cao An secretly prayed that he never wanted to come to the west of the city again in this life...
In a fairly clean inn.
Cao An smiled as he walked in and said, "On the first day I returned to Bianliang, I stayed in this kind of inn, and it was even worse than here... Two hundred coins a night."
Inside the room, Wang Hu stood up with a smile.
He glanced at Arhat and Wu Han behind Cao An, and joked: "That gentleman, you must have encountered a black shop. Even if such an inn is in the south of the city, it doesn't cost two hundred coins."
"..."
The corner of Cao An's mouth twitched, and he slowly turned his head to look at Luo Han.
The latter's face turned red, and he immediately became angry, as if his tail had been stepped on: "Wang, what are you barking at? What are you barking at?"
Wang Hu was dumbfounded by the scolding.
The big brother on the streets of Bianliang was not someone to be trifled with.
His face turned cold and he scolded back: "Damn it, did I provoke you? Why, do you think you've become arrogant after following your husband for a few months? Then you'll handle the errand today!"
"Just do something!"
Arhat jumped angrily: "Why, without you as the butcher king, we have to eat pigs with hair on them? Mr. Lang, I think this grandson doesn't have much ability, what do you want him to do!"
"Arhat, what the hell are you..."
Wang Hu rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.
