Cai Jing has been experiencing a mixture of joy and sorrow recently.

Sadly, his second son Cai Min died of illness. This Cai Min was the one who wanted to force Liu Qingxin to marry him.

However, Cai Jing was only sad for the death of his son for a moment, because Cai Min always failed to live up to his expectations. He usually did all sorts of evil things including eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, which caused him a lot of trouble.

In addition, Cai Min was already ill, so Cai Jing was mentally prepared for his death.

Compared with the death of his son, Cai Jing was most concerned about Ning Fu. Some time ago, he designed to close Huamei Zhai, thinking that Ning Fu would do something.

Unexpectedly, ten days have passed and there is still no movement from Ning Fu.

Even the businessman Wang Gui stayed at home every day and only drank to drown his sorrows. It seemed that he had accepted his fate.

All signs indicate that Ning Fu was helpless about the closure of Huameizhai.

Thinking of this, Cai Jing couldn't help laughing. As for his son's death, he had long forgotten about it.

Cai Jing was not afraid of Ning Fu going to complain to Zhao Xu, because he had a legitimate reason for sealing the Thrush House. If Ning Fu had to complain to Zhao Xu about such a trivial matter, it would only appear that he was incompetent and make Zhao Xu unhappy. happiness.

"Perhaps it won't be long before Ning Fu, this kid, can only ask me to let him go!"

Cai Jing finally said to himself again, and his mood became even more joyful.

Although Ning Fu has been very favored recently, he does not have much power. In contrast, Cai Jing, the governor, has great power, and it is too easy to deal with him.

"Dong dong dong~"

Suddenly at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Cai Jing suppressed the smile on his face, cleared his throat and said: "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a thin, middle-aged man with a goatee walked in with a flattering smile on his face.

"See the governor!"

After Goatee came in, he immediately saluted Cai Jing.

"What's the matter?"

Cai Jing asked.

This middle-aged man, whose surname is Fang, is a promotion official in Kaifeng Mansion and one of Cai Jing's confidants. He will handle many matters.

"Report to the governor. The people sent to monitor Wang Gui came back and reported that Ning Fu went to see Wang Gui yesterday, and that Wang Gui's behavior became a little different today."

Fang Tuiguan replied immediately.

"Ning Fu went to find him?"

When Cai Jing heard this, his heart moved and he asked immediately.

"Why is Wang Gui different?"

"Early this morning, Wang Gui took people out of the city and went to the soap workshop. Then the stewards in the workshop scattered out, seemingly to do something."

When Fang Tuiguan said this, he raised his head and glanced at Cai Jing's face. After finding that there was nothing unusual about the other party, he continued.

"In addition, according to the people who monitored Wang Gui, Wang Gui became very excited after Ning Fu left yesterday. He never drank a drop of wine again, and locked himself in the study until midnight."

"Do you know the reason why Ning Fu went to Wang Gui?"

Cai Jing frowned and asked again.

"I don't know. Every time Ning Fu sees Wang Gui, he tells everyone to leave, so outsiders have no idea what they are talking about."

Fang Tuiguan replied again.

"Wang Gui suddenly cheered up and went to the workshop, and even sent a steward. Could it be that..."

Cai Jing whispered to himself, and the more he spoke, the worse he felt.

Unless Ning Fu found a way to lift the blockade of Huameizhai, how could Wang Gui be so excited?

"Has Ning Fu seen any officials recently?"

Cai Jing asked Fang Tuiguan again anxiously.

"Definitely not. Ning Fu has been busy with martial arts recently and has no time to enter the palace, but..."

"But what?"

"However, the children in the palace have visited Ning Fu several times recently, and we don't dare to get too close. I wonder what they talked about?"

Fang Tuiguan replied again.

Cai Jing not only sent people to monitor Wang Gui, but also sent people to monitor Ning Fu. However, Ning Fu's identity was different, so Cai Jing did not dare to let people get too close, and only dared to monitor him from a distance.

"Tong Guan?"

Cai Jing frowned again, then shook his head.

"Recently, the official family is sending a mission to the Liao Kingdom. Ning Fu and Tong Guan are the chief and deputy envoys respectively, so it is normal for them to have contact."

"Except for Tong Duzhi, Ning Fu has never had contact with anyone in the palace, let alone an official!"

Fang Tuiguan immediately affirmed.

"Where is Mr. Zhang? Has Ning Fu gone to see him?"

Cai Jing asked again without giving up.

Apart from Zhao Xu, only Zhang Dun can help Ning recover.

"Absolutely not. Mr. Zhang has been busy with the new law recently. Even if Ning Fu goes to him, I'm afraid he won't bother to pay attention to such a trivial matter."

Fang Tuiguan shook his head again.

"It's not an official, and it's not Zhang Gong. Why do you have so much confidence, Ning Fu?"

Cai Jing couldn't figure it out at this time.

But at this moment, a petty official suddenly ran in in a panic.

"The governor is in trouble, people from Dali Temple are here!"

"What's there to be alarmed about when someone comes from Dali Temple?"

Cai Jing's face darkened and he immediately scolded.

Kaifeng Mansion often dealt with Dali Temple and even cooperated in handling cases, so he was also very dissatisfied with the performance of the junior officials.

"The governor doesn't know, they... they are here to interrogate the thief Yu Wu!"

The clerk replied in panic again.

"What!"

When Cai Jing heard this, he stood up suddenly.

Thief Yu Wu was the gangster he used to frame Huamei Zhai. This guy committed more than a dozen murders in several counties around Tokyo. The Kaifeng government also spent a lot of effort to catch him.

But the most important thing is that Cai Jing previously tempted Yu Wu with a reduced sentence and asked him to cooperate with him in framing Huamei Zhai. If the people of Dali Temple find out, I am afraid that he, as a governor, will have his end.

"Quickly...send someone to take Yu Wu out of prison..."

However, before Cai Jing could finish speaking, several officials from Dali Temple broke in outside.

The leader is Cai Jing's old subordinate Liu Zheng, who is also Ning Fu's father-in-law. He was previously transferred to Dali Temple as a young minister, and he will take over the case this time.

"Don't worry about Fu Yin Cai. I have sent people to imprison Yu Wu. From now on, this case will be taken over by our Dali Temple!"

Liu Zheng walked up to Cai Jing, smiled coldly and said.

"Bold, we in Kaifeng Prefecture captured Yu Wu. When will it be your turn to take charge of Dali Temple?"

Cai Jing didn't have a good look on Liu Zheng and immediately scolded him loudly.

If it were the minister of Dali Temple, Cai Jing might be a little more polite, but facing Liu Zheng, a young minister, he would not be so polite.

"Haha, this is the order made by the official himself. If you are not convinced, you can go to the official to argue!"

Liu Zheng sneered again.
Chapter completed!
