Cao Miao suffered heavy losses in the ambush of the Changdi. Three entourages were killed and one was seriously injured. He is still bedridden.

Originally, Liu Chen was taken care of, but now Liu Chen has received the task of training Sun Luban. It is somewhat inconvenient to have no time to take care of him. Cao Miao planned to buy one or two maids to take care of the daily life of the seriously injured, and at the same time solve his personal problems.

After being seriously injured, the entourage had become a useless person, but Cao Miao had no intention of abandoning him. Not only did he decide to raise him, but he also wanted to start a family for him. This made Sun Luban admire him. After receiving a message from Zhihua, she had decided to help Cao Miao solve this problem.

There are many maids in her mansion, so it is not a problem to give two to Cao Miao. In addition to thanking Cao Miao, she can also arrange her own eyes and ears around Cao Miao. This is a rare and good opportunity.

Mrs. Sun was ashamed, but she was a little surprised. Cao Miao took the initiative to ask her and Sun Luban for someone, which in itself was a manifestation of sincerity.

Obviously, Cao Miao knew her intention and took the initiative to show sincerity.

"Since I'm going to arrange the people around him, I'll arrange them. There are some people around me who should have been married long ago." Mrs. Sun said.

Although Sun Luban was a little surprised, he didn't say much. As long as Mrs. Sun didn't argue with her, everything else would be easy to say.

Mrs. Sun immediately ordered someone to summon Cao Miao to assist Sun Luban in handling subsequent matters. Before Cao Miao arrived, she ordered Sun Luban, Sun Qing and Lu Hong to listen more and report more, and do not express opinions easily. Pay attention to Cao Miao's ideas and means of handling affairs, and at the same time isolate his contact with the outside world. As for what can be said and what cannot be said, he must have a little heart in his heart.

Mrs. Sun specifically reminded Sun Luban that before relieving Cao Miao's suspicion, Cao Miao could not be told any matter involving Sun Quan's ascension to the throne.

Sun Luban nodded awkwardly when he remembered that the secret almost leaked last night.

——

Cao Miao hurried over and went to Sun Luban's actions to express his congratulations.

"It's a surprise that the princess's flag is winning."

Sun Luban was overjoyed and could hardly maintain his reserve. "It was only with Cao Jun's strategy that I could win a thousand miles."

Cao Miao laughed, ignored the metaphor of Sun Luban's inappropriateness, and then asked about the follow-up arrangements. He was not very interested in participating in the interrogation and hoped to avoid suspicion. After all, from various signs, it is very likely to involve Wei State.

Sun Luban expressed his understanding and just asked Cao Miao to assist her in reviewing the documents. Others were responsible for the specific interrogation.

Cao Miao was very grateful and readily obeyed.

Sun Luban arranged for someone to interrogate, and Cao Miao checked the documents in the front hall of Mrs. Sun's official office. After the conflict last night, Sun Qing and Lu Hong's attitude towards Cao Miao had a significant change. Although they were not as close as Sun Xiu and others, they did not dare to underestimate Cao Miao anymore. They cooperated with all the requirements within the allowable range, and they were considerate and had a good attitude.

Of course, every word Cao Miao said and every document he applied for would be quickly passed to the back hall and into Mrs. Sun's ears.

After flipping through the existing documents, Cao Miao frowned and stood in front of the map, pondering without saying a word.

Sun Qing and Lu Hong exchanged a look. Lu Hong walked to Cao Miao and asked softly: "Mr. Cao, have you found anything?"

Cao Miao did not look back and his eyes were on the map. The map was not complete, only the Fankou area was more detailed, and the other places were very simple, and it was clearly a specially prepared map specially prepared for Cao Miao.

"You have been with the princess yesterday and participated in all the actions. What did you find?"

Lu Hong thought for a while and said, "Although Qingcao City is Wu, it is not far from the border. There are many spies from Wei. Especially those who fled on horseback, they don't look like Jiangnan people, or even like the people from the Central Plains. They think they are Youyan knights, and they are the most likely to be spies from Wei. I heard that the prefect of Runan, Tian Yu, is from Youzhou, and these people are very similar to his troops."

Cao Miao nodded. "Your analysis makes some sense, but it is not comprehensive enough."

"Please give me advice."

"There are indeed Youyan Knights around Tian Yu, but the people who have Youyan Knights around are not only Tian Yu, but also others."

“For example?”

"Liu Bei and Zhang Fei from Western Shu are both from Youzhou, and Zhao Yun is from Jizhou. When they entered Shu, they were accompanied by Youyan Knights."

Lu Hong smiled. "Jun Cao is right, but they are all dead. The Yan You Knight who followed them into Shu has long been old and it is absolutely impossible for them to be the people we caught."

"How do you know they won't have offspring?"

Lu Hong was speechless. "I never thought about this..."

"Have you been to the Central Plains?"

"No." Lu Hong shook his head awkwardly. "Strictly speaking, I haven't even crossed the Huai River. Even if I crossed the river, there were only a few times. And I followed my wife and had not many opportunities to contact outsiders."

"If I guess well, the others should be similar. So what you think is the Youyan Knight may not be the Youyan Knight, or the Bingliang people. The three states of Youyan Liang are all close to the border, and the Hu people live by water and plants. In fact, the difference is not big. We cannot rule out that someone uses this to suck the water and divert their sight."

Lu Hong thought something and then asked again: "What should I do?"

"Find someone who can distinguish the difference and confirm it." Cao Miao turned around and returned to the case, picked up a document, and tapped it gently. "There seems to be a lot of ship workers among the captives."

"There are many ships coming and going in the Fankou Linjiang River."

"There are also a lot of oil." Cao Miao changed a document and pointed it to Lu Hong. "What are these oils used for? Is there a large number of oil used in Qingcao City?"

Lu Hong took the document from Cao Miao, stared at the thousands of barrels of oil, and his brows became tighter and tighter. After a while, she bowed to Cao Miao. "Please wait, I want to ask for instructions on my wife."

Cao Miao nodded and signaled her to take it. Lu Hong hurried into the back hall with the document.

Mrs. Sun stood in the bedroom and looked at the map on the wall. This map was similar to the one in the front hall, but it was much more detailed. The garrisons near Wuchang City, Jinkou and others were marked one by one in the column. With Fankou as the center, a circle was drawn with cinnabar, and the Fanshan area south of the Yangtze River was included.

There were a large number of documents on the table, and two young maids in military uniforms were kneeling beside them, serving Mrs. Sun's pen and ink and assisting her in handling the documents. If Cao Miao was here, he would find that the documents on the case were exactly the same as the documents he saw.

After hearing Lu Hong's words, Mrs. Sun walked to the map, pondered for a long time, raised her hand, clicked on the Fanshan Mountain, and then clicked on the lake on the north side of Fanshan Mountain.

"There is an insider."

"Madam, how do I reply to Cao Jun?"

"As he said, find someone to confirm the identity of the knight. A team of people will be arranged to track down all those who know the process of the throne ceremony."
