The prince is very fierce

Ning Yuhe was obviously surprised when he heard Cao Quyi's words.

The rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and they have always drawn a clear line with the imperial court. Those who seek refuge with the imperial court are regarded as hawks. Many Jianghu people who follow the rules are caught by the imperial court. Not to mention betraying their brothers, they do not even tell a word about their opponents.

The Cao family has a transcendent status in the world, so they must respect the rules of the world, otherwise they will not be able to convince the public. It is possible to work as a retainer for officials, princes, and princes. This is what people in the world rely on to make a living. Being an official directly would break the rules. It's like if your elder brother is the county magistrate and your younger brother commits murder and arson in the county, he won't be able to pass the court, let alone the world based on integrity.

The fact that Ning Yuhe was so surprised showed that very few people knew about this matter.

Xu Buling thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Which yamen does your nephew work as an errand in?"

Cao Quyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He thought for a long time and shook his head: "My nephew was kicked out of the house ten years ago and his surname was changed to Song Ying. The prince must have heard of it."

"Iron Judge Song Ying?"

Ning Yuhe was slightly stunned when he heard the name.

Xu Buling frowned lightly - Song Ying had naturally heard of him. Among the three chief officers of the Criminal Investigation Department, Zhang Xiang was the external face, and his main responsibility was to take the blame for the emperor and sit in charge of the records library. Lao Yi controlled the intelligence organization. , hidden in the dark all year round, are the emperor's eyes and ears. And there is another one who walks around the world and shocks the world. He is the emperor's extended hands and feet, and his name is Song Ying.

In the world of Dayue, there are many proud men like Situ Yuejin, Chen Daozi, Zhu Liu, Li Hansheng, etc. on the surface. There are even more old bastards hidden secretly. The thugs used by the court to intimidate the world are as low as You must not be afraid of these people.

Song Ying's origin is relatively mysterious. Iron Eagle quietly appeared after hunting a deer and led the wolf guards to hunt down important criminals in the Jianghu. As long as he found the person, there was basically no way to escape. His on-the-spot execution methods were more ruthless than those in the Jianghu, so he was Called the 'Iron Judge'.

Song Ying didn't kill many people, after all, there weren't many people he could catch personally, but the heads of more than a dozen gangsters were enough to make Song Ying famous in the world and make people talk about it.

Xu Buling has been staying in Chang'an and has never met Song Ying. The information he got is only a few words. There is no information about his appearance, let alone his origin. Naturally, I was a little surprised to hear that Song Ying was from the Cao family on Junshan Island.

But after hearing the news, Xu Buling understood why the Cao family suddenly withdrew from the world. Song Ying is the head of the Criminal Investigation Department, and the people he kills are Jianghu people. The Cao family is highly respected in Jianghu, so the two obviously cannot coexist. According to the rules of Jianghu people, they have to clean up the family.

But the Cao family obviously can't clean up a person of Song Ying's level, and the Cao family's successful retreat from the Iron Eagle Deer Hunting without being affected may have something to do with Song Ying.

No wonder Dayinglou came to deal with the Cao family. With such a relationship, it would be moral to not exterminate the Cao family...

Xu Bu Ling could think of it, and Ning Yuhe naturally thought of it too, and the respect in his eyes faded a bit. After all, compared to the Lu and Zhu families, who would rather bend than bend, the Cao and Tang families' behavior of seeking perfection through compromise was really shameful. The Cao family took the lead in hunting down their friends in the world to seek perfection, which was even more outrageous.

Cao Quyi was the head of the Cao family, and his eyesight was absolutely ruthless. Naturally, he saw what they were thinking, shook his head and sighed:

"This is a private matter of the Cao family. Prince, please come back."

Xu Buling smiled a little. He was not from Jianghu, so naturally he didn't feel the same contempt as Ning Yuhe. At most, he felt that the Cao family was unkind. However, he heard Master Qingxu say that Ning Qingye was saved by Cao Qujian, the head of the Cao family, who secretly went to Wudang Mountain to ask for talents. Master Qingxu also spoke well of him, and he couldn't see clearly the Cao family just because of a few words. Maybe the situation at that time It's more complicated.

After getting clues about Ning Qingye, there was a reason why the Cao family was targeted by Dayinglou. After Xu Buling got a little understanding, he didn't stay long and stood up to leave. But before leaving, Xu Buling still warned:

"There are so many old, young, women and children in the village, so Yuan Cao should be more careful. There are some insignificant things, just give them as long as they are given. There is no need to gamble with your safety."

Cao Quyi stood up to see the guests off, shook his head and sighed: "If it can save money and eliminate disasters, Cao will naturally not want to trouble Mr. Zhizhou. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Xu Buling didn't say much. He and Ning Yuhe walked out of the Cao family's stronghold and went to several villages near Zhuangzi to find Ning Qingye's place to stay.

Ning Yuhe looked calm and silent in the living room. Now when he went out, he couldn't help it. He walked under Xu Buring's oil paper umbrella and frowned:

"Your Majesty, Song Ying turns out to be a member of the Cao family. I was not aware of the rumors that the Cao family was colluding with the government. As expected, the rumors will not spread without wind..."

Xu Buling recalled the information just now and asked: "Master, do you know how Qingye got to Wudang Mountain?"

When Ning Yuhe heard this, he was silent for a moment. After looking back at Caojiazhuang, he whispered:

"Qing Ye secretly told me that it was Cao Qujian who led her to Taoist Qingxu. At that time, the Cao family had already stated that they would not interfere in Jianghu affairs, so this matter must not be spread. I always thought that the Cao family had no choice but to withdraw. Jianghu, I didn’t expect... But if they defected to the imperial court, why would they help Qingye? "

Xu Buling shook his head: "The matter may be more complicated. It involves the Criminal Investigation Department. I am the prince of the feudal lord, and it is not easy for me to interfere in the affairs of the government. Once I find Qingye, I will leave and let the Cao family handle it on their own."

"Ling'er, do you know who is coming from the Eagle Tower?"

Xu Buling hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Sword Master Zhu Liu."

"!?"

Ning Yuhe paused, looked surprised, and tilted his head in confusion:

"Manzhi's father? Why is Zhu Liu in Daying Tower... It's over. The Cao family may not be able to escape this time. With the style of Daying Tower, it is possible to destroy the entire Cao family..."

Xu Buling was a little helpless: "Don't think about it. It's the same if Li Hansheng comes. No one can destroy the Cao family if they hold the sword again. If they don't hold the sword, they can't stand and let people kill them. They will naturally resist when they are forced. I'm afraid that Daying Tower will come out in full force, and Li Hansheng and Zhu Liu will come together. Then I can't save them, even if gods come."

"That's true... Qingye is here, Li Hansheng will definitely not show up... Forget it, let's find Qingye first..."

Ning Yuhe put aside his doubts for the time being and went to the nearby village with Xu Buling.

The oil-paper umbrella was not very big. Xu Buling might have frowned and thought, so the umbrella instinctively moved closer to Ning Yuhe, covering the white skirt tightly, but some rain fell on his right shoulder.

Ning Yuhe was preoccupied and didn't notice it just now. When he noticed it now, his heart warmed slightly, and he moved closer and gently pushed the umbrella towards Xu Buling.

The two of them hid under an umbrella together, surrounded by the misty lake and the rain curtain, the scene was quite beautiful.

But when Xu Buling noticed it, his eyes subconsciously looked at the oil-paper umbrella in Ning Yuhe's hand.

Ning Yuhe naturally noticed Xu Buling's gaze, looked down, and her calm cheeks stiffened slightly, blushed a little, and then quickly faded. She quietly opened the umbrella, moved a little further away, and walked ahead on her own...
