The next day,

Bai Youniang woke up.

Thinking of the absurdity of last night, she smiled with satisfaction. She was about to complain to her little enemy about his rudeness last night.

She found that Cao Dali had left without saying goodbye.

"snort......Really pulling dick......"

Before she finished speaking, she found a large stack of silver bills on the pillow.

Each bill was worth 100 taels, and there were 10 bills in total, totaling 1,000 taels of silver.

This was a huge sum of money.

It was very particular.

You have to know that in this world, the annual expenses of ordinary people were only 3 taels of silver. Even the former top performer of Zui Xiang Lou only charged 100 taels for a night.

Because of the poem written by Cao Dali, her net worth would definitely skyrocket and break the record of Zui Xiang Lou.

She was ready to let Cao Dali do it for free.

Now General Cao directly gave her 1,000 taels of silver.

Bai Youniang still felt flattered, and her little heart was thumping.

"Does he really like me? Otherwise he wouldn't have written such a poem."

"The clouds are like clothes and the flowers are like faces; the spring breeze blows the dew on the threshold, making the flowers gorgeous. If we had not met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace."

Bai Youniang kept reading the poem Cao Dali wrote to her.

That night, Cao Dali shamelessly named this poem"Qingping Diao-Presented to Bai Youniang".

This made Bai Youniang's heart move.

However, what Bai Youniang didn't know was that if Cao Dali hadn't made a fortune from Chen Pin and earned a full 100,000 taels of silver,

Cao Dali would have really planned to get it for free.

Even if he gave her 1,000 taels of silver, in the near future, Bai Youniang would have to pay it back to Cao Dali with interest.

Moreover, this was also Cao Dali's guilty conscience, giving her hush money....

"Mr. Cao came so early today?"

"Hello, Mr. Cao"

"......"

"It's already noon, it's still early?"Cao Dali felt a little puzzled.

He found that when he entered the Hundred Households Office today, everyone nodded and bowed to him, surprisingly warm.

At first, he thought that Chen Pin was killed and he would become the strongest competitor for the trial Hundred Households.

But later, he found that it was not the case.

""General Cao, did the captain ask you to go to his place?" A small flag said to Cao Dali.

Could it be that my murder of Chen Pin was exposed? But I have a perfect alibi.

Cao Dali walked towards the office of Captain Zhao nervously.......

Cao Dali walked into Zhao Baihu's side.

""Master, are you looking for me?" Cao Dali had something to hide, so he said more respectfully.

"You are so good, Cao Dali, you actually......"Hey, you should say it yourself." Captain Zhao said with a smile on his face.

However, this smile was not a good thing in Cao Dali's eyes.

Because Captain Zhao's nickname was the Smiling Tiger.

Being stared at and laughed at by him made Cao Dali feel insecure.

"Captain, I heard that Chen Pin was burned to death......."Cao Dali was about to tell Captain Zhao the proof of his absence.

"Needless to say, this matter has nothing to do with you. You should concentrate on solving the flower-picking case. The position of trial centurion has been vacant for a long time. Don't let people from other offices take advantage of it." Zhao Ping, a centurion of the Jinyiwei, said meaningfully.

Cao Dali understood what Zhao Ping meant when he heard it: after Chen Pin's death, you are the best candidate for the trial centurion. Solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise other people will be sent to take this position, which will be bad for everyone, after all, everyone wants to promote their own people.

Then, Cao Dali took out a thick stack of silver bills from his arms, quietly stuffed it into Zhao Ping, and said:"Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I will definitely work together to catch the flower-picking thief as soon as possible, and will not let other people occupy the position of Jinyiwei in Changle County."

Seeing Cao Dali was so capable of handling things.

Zhao Ping accepted the tribute without making a fuss.

In Zhao Ping's view, this was Cao Dali accepting his favor, and he also acknowledged Cao Dali's kindness.

Cao Dali finally got it.

So, Zhao Ping put down his airs as a captain of the Jinyiwei, and said to Cao Dali with a playful look on his face:"I asked you to come here, not to ask about the murder of Chen Pin. You have good literary talent, and you have brought honor to our Jinyiwei. What does it feel like to be the courtesan? If the case of the flower thief had not been urgent, I would have given you a day off today."

Hearing this,

Cao Dali knew it.

Everyone had been treating him with great respect since he entered the room.

Not only because after Chen Pin's death, he had the greatest chance of being promoted to the rank of centurion, but also because of the poem he wrote for Bai Youniang last night.

It turned Cao Dali from a crude warrior into a talented scholar.

He severely slapped the faces of those literati and scholars.

This was also a face-saving thing for the Jinyiwei.

As for Cao Dali's preparation of a long set of excuses to show that he had nothing to do with Chen Pin's death, it was of no use at all.

Because no one thought that he did it.

He had a perfect alibi.

It had been passed on by the literati who were having tea in Zui Xiang Lou that night.

Thinking of this,

Cao Dali chuckled, showing an expression that all men understood, and said to Zhao Ping:"Sir, I found a few beautiful prostitutes in Zui Xiang Lou. I'll take you to try them out when I have time! ?"

When Zhao Ping heard this, he immediately turned serious and said,"Go and investigate the case of the flower thief."

Seeing that Captain Zhao was not interested,

Cao Dali shrugged and walked out. Just as he walked out of the door, a hand pressed on his shoulder.

"Take this money, and take me to Zui Xiang Lou when you are free next time. I admire the lady Bai Hua there very much, but I am just a crude warrior, and I am never in her eyes. Please write me a poem so that I can have a taste of her beauty."

After hearing this, Cao Dali turned around and saw the smiling face of Captain Zhao.

He immediately understood everything.

"Keep this money for yourself. The next time you go to Zui Xiang Lou, you can get it reimbursed by the government!" Captain Zhao saw Cao Dali standing there stupidly, and then stuffed the money into Cao Dali's hand.

Feeling the heavy banknote in his hand,

Cao Dali staggered and almost lost his balance.

This old man was interested in Baihua Niangzi, the former courtesan of Zui Xiang Lou.......

I returned to my office.

Zhang Shan and Wang Wu were already waiting for me in the courtyard.

"Chief, Chen Gou is dead, you don't know, it was tragic, the flames shot up to the sky, the entire Chen Mansion turned into a sea of fire, the whole body was burned to bones, and the head was crushed into ashes by the fallen pillar. Finally, the fire diving team was dispatched to put out the fire and prevent it from spreading to other places."

"This is really a case of good deeds being rewarded with good and evil deeds being punished with evil. Chen Goushi used his fiancée's innocence to frame Cao Zongqi, and now he deserves to be burned to death. You were not there at the time, and it was such a pity that the scene was like that."

"Wang Wu, what are you talking about? At that time, the boss was in Zui Xiang Lou with the courtesan Bai You Niang, living a life of drunkenness and dreams. Wasn't he happy? What's so good about starting a fire?"....................................
