Chapter 41

Cao Miao waved his hand and asked Qingtao to return Han Dong's luggage to him, asking him to go back and rest first. After resting, let's talk about the inner alchemy technique.

Han Dong was so grateful that he bowed again. When he took the luggage from Qingtao, he looked at Qingtao for a moment, but he stopped talking.

Qingtao turned cold and turned around and left. Cao Miao was very unhappy. Even if this guy was bad, he wouldn't be so impatient. He had an unreasonable idea as soon as he joined the gang? If that's true, he would just take the blame and get rid of it.

Han Dong turned around, looked at Cao Miao, and looked hesitant. "Prince, dare to ask, is this woman surnamed Zhang and a female relative in the Marquis of Xuanwei?"

Cao Miao and Qingtao were both surprised and looked at Han Dong in surprise.

Han Dong swallowed. "If it were the female relatives in the Xuanwei Marquis' Mansion, I would have told me about something that a child had disappeared in the Xuanwei Marquis' Mansion that year and might still be alive."

Qingtao was cleaning up the tableware on the table. When he heard Han Dong's words, the pottery bowl in his hand and the wooden spoon fell to the ground with a "defying" sound, and the pottery bowl broke into several pieces.

"Do you... take it seriously?" Qingtao looked pale and rushed over, grabbed Han Dong's collar, almost lifting Han Dong up.

Han Dong was startled and looked at Cao Miao in panic.

Cao Miao coughed. "Qingtao, do you still have breakfast? Prepare some for the Han school affairs. He must be hungry after working hard all night."

Qingtao also reacted, quickly let go of Han Dong, turned around and hurriedly left. Cao Miao signaled Han Dong not to be nervous and took his seat again. Ah Hu took the seat, and placed it on one side. Han Dong was still uneasy and sat very restrained.

After a while, Qingtao and Hongxing received breakfast, placed it on Han Dong, and then sat aside and looked at Han Dong with a eager look.

Although Han Dong was so hungry that he was rumbling and wished he could just sweep the breakfast in front of him, he decided to make the matter clear first. He felt so furious when Qingtao looked at him like this.

The matter was also very simple. The one who searched the Xuanwei Hou Mansion was the School Bureau. Xuanwei Hou was a military general, with nearly a thousand troops at home, including hundreds of Xiliang cavalry. There was a conflict. Specifically, someone planned to break through. However, the School Bureau was well prepared and completely controlled the situation. He took the opportunity to start a massacre and robbed the mansion, making a fortune.

But later when counting the number of people, I found that one person was missing: Zhang Quan's youngest son, a boy about five years old, disappeared.

The school affairs in charge of this matter did not dare to make a statement, and sent someone to search for it privately. A few days later, a boy's body was finally found in a ditch outside the mansion. He was about to be of Zhang Quan's son and the clothes he wore also had the logo of the Xuanwei Marquis' Mansion. The case was settled.

A few years later, the School Bureau fought for power in internal conflicts. Some people suggested that although the boy found was about the same age as Zhang Xiu's son and his clothes were suitable, the body was soaked and swollen and could not be confirmed. In addition, there was another suspicious point. Zhang Quan's son was five years old at the time and had not started changing teeth. The boy found had two front teeth on his body, which was obviously older.

This incident arose because of a fight for power. The power is certain, so no one mentioned this incident again. Han Dong had just joined the office and didn't know the specific situation. He just heard people say that, leaving a little impression. Last time he came to the Yongqiu Palace, Qingtao was beaten and punished. Han Dong had some impression of her. After returning to Luoyang, he specifically checked her situation and learned that she was Zhang Quan's daughter, so he remembered that incident.

Han Dong repeatedly stated that he heard this, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

Cao Miao didn't say anything, and Qingtao lowered his head and said nothing.

Han Dong regretted it a little. This matter was too reckless. He should check it out and learn more about the situation. He buried his head in drinking porridge, regardless of whether it tasted hot or not. He drank it clean in one breath and said goodbye.

"School Affairs Han, if it's convenient for you, please check that matter." Cao Miao said lightly.

Han Dong agreed repeatedly, bowed and hurriedly got out of the hall. He slowed down when he left the door. While picking the shredded pork between his teeth, he recalled Cao Miao's words just now, feeling confused. There was no breakfast at first, but it was because he mentioned Qingtao's family that Cao Miao gave him a breakfast. He asked him so politely just now, which was too serious.

Could it be that Qingtao is not just an ordinary maid?

Just as Han Dong was thinking, several guards came towards him. The leader saw Han Dong's red envelopes on his face and couldn't help laughing. "School Affairs Han, what task are you doing? You are bitten like this by mosquitoes? Yongqiu's mosquitoes are big and biting people harshly. Don't scratch them. If they are scratched, they will die."

Others also saw Han Dong's appearance and burst into laughter. Wang Tai was killed, but the major suspect Han Dong was safe and sound, which increased their disgust towards the school affairs by 10% again. They usually dared not speak out, but today they had the opportunity to make fun of Han Dong, so of course they would not let it go.

Han Dong glanced at it and recognized that the man was Wang Ji, a close confidant beside Wang Tai. He immediately became angry and kicked Wang Ji to the ground. He then rushed on, pulled out half of the long sword, pressed him on Wang Ji's neck, and said in a cold voice: "Why, the school affairs department is in charge, and you still want to report to you?"

Wang Ji was so scared that he was so scared that he didn't dare to talk too much and beg for mercy.

Han Dong snorted twice and slowly got up. Seeing that Wang Ji's crotch was wet, he looked down and saw that there were some on his feet, and said, "It's bad luck, it's a slight scent." After that, he left with his head held high and his chest raised.

Wang Ji got up, looked at Han Dong's back with lingering fear, and cursed a few hatefully.

——

Qingtao knelt in front of Cao Miao with his hands. "I have lost my maid, please punish me."

Cao Miao sighed secretly. It was not just Qingtao who lost his composure just now, he was also a little confused. In the end, he shouldn't have entrusted Han Dong to investigate the matter of the Xuanwei Marquis' Mansion. At least he shouldn't have been so anxious, and he shouldn't have even kept Han Dong for breakfast at the beginning.

This is likely to allow Han Dong to see the flaw. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but he is afraid of what if.

"It's time to come, so I'd better think about how to make up for it." Cao Miao said: "You spread some news in the mansion, saying that your servant is favored, but you just don't stay overnight. Han Dong shouldn't have much ears in the mansion and shouldn't see through it."

Two blushings flew on Qingtao's face and responded in a stuttering voice, with an unnatural expression.

Cao Miao didn't want to continue the topic and asked again: "Qingtao, what exactly did Han Dong mean by the insignificant thought?"

Qingtao didn't think too much and replied: "He should be referring to regaining the throne, King Yongqiu ascended the throne, and the prince became the prince."

Cao Miao suddenly realized, but was still a little puzzled. "Is this an inappropriate thought? Maybe there is no such thing?"

Qingtao nodded. "Prince, although Han Dong is rude and ignorant, he is right about this matter. This is an unreasonable thought, and there may be no at all. If the prince has this idea, he will only seek trouble." Qingtao gritted his teeth and said, "It will only cause trouble for Wuwang."
