The Record of Righteousness

Chapter 151 The truth comes out

That night, Wan Qing put on an official robe.

This official robe is very different from the blue ones before. It is a scarlet official robe. The patch on the chest is more delicate. If you look closely, it looks like a golden leopard.

This leopard looked at it with eager eyes and showed its fierce look. It was lying on a huge rock, surrounded by blue waves and clouds, making it even more misty.

After the steward arranged the sedan chair, Wan Qing immediately got into the sedan chair with 18 people, and there were more than ten servants holding torches on the way.

After walking for almost half an hour, we arrived at the house of Cao Taiqing, the governor of Dongchang.

Eunuch Cao's residence is very close to the palace. It is surrounded by the residences of wealthy dignitaries. Various lanterns are hung outside the residence, which is brightly lit.

The mansions of this powerful man cannot compare to Eunuch Cao's mansion in terms of magnanimity and grandeur.

Wan Qing couldn't care so much at this time, and quickly got off the sedan, then trotted and knocked on Cao Taiqing's door.

After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing an old man who was in charge of the mansion.

The old man showed only one head and asked impatiently:

"Who?"

Wan Qing didn't pay attention to this man's arrogance and rudeness. After all, the prime minister was still a seventh-rank official, not to mention the powerful governor of the East Factory?

I saw him saying politely:

"Xiaguan Dongchang is in charge of the punishment of thousands of households, Wanqing. Come to see the governor of Dongchang, Eunuch Cao. Please tell me, old man."

"Eunuch Cao has taken a rest, please come back another day."

The old man who was the porter could see a lot of the dignitaries who came to pay homage to his governor. To him, the officials of these thousands of households were not big. The old man yawned, frowned and was about to close the door.

"Hey, old man, we have five taels of silver here, let's take it as tea money, please."

Wan Qing held the door with one hand and took out a piece of silver with the other hand and placed it in front of the old man.

As soon as he saw the money, the old man's face suddenly changed. After taking the ingot of silver, his face was full of joy and he said politely:

"It's easy to talk! My lord, please wait here for a moment. I will come back as soon as I go."

Wan Qing nodded and responded with a smile.

"well."

After about half a stick of incense, the old man turned back and welcomed Wan Qing in with a bow and a nod.

"Sir, please come this way"

The old man held a lantern and walked around and around, leading Wan Qing all the way to Eunuch Cao's reception room. Then the old man left, leaving him alone.

The living room was empty, even the maid and servant were nowhere to be seen.

Wan Qing sat on the sandalwood chair, waiting for almost half an hour. His heart was in a mess mixed with a trace of anger. He could not think of what Eunuch Cao was selling in his gourd. medicine.

Just as he was thinking about it, a cold wind blew at the door, and a figure appeared alone. Wan Qing was attracted by the cold wind. When he turned around and saw the man, he quickly stood up and knelt down to kowtow.

"Your Majesty, please see the Governor! The Governor will be as blessed as the heavens and live as long as the heavens."

But I saw that the man was wearing a black robe, gold silk soft armor, a pair of silver-patterned green-soled black boots, and a simple three-mountain hat. On his chest was a lifelike four-clawed python, which was soaring in the clouds and riding in the mist. The ups and downs of clouds and rain are daunting.

His face is white and beardless, his face is as pink as a child's but rosy, his eyebrows are the color of snow, and his hair on both sides is also white. Although he is a bit sinister, he can be regarded as handsome.

This person is none other than the governor of the East Factory, the eunuch Cao Taiqing, the eunuch Bingbi!

Although he is over sixty years old, he does not look old and frail at all. At first glance, he looks like a young man of twenty years old.

He didn't seem to hear Wan Qing's polite words. He walked past Wan Qing with his hands on his back and slowly sat down on the main seat.

Wan Qing was shocked. The old eunuch moved silently, and he was not noticed until he reached the door. His steps were steady and powerful. I am afraid that this man's martial arts are unfathomable!

What's more, Eunuch Cao is so old, but his face looks like a child's

Thinking about it this way, how could Wan Qing still have any dissatisfaction and anger? It's just that the pressure on the head is lower.

Cao Taiqing didn't let him stand up and sit down, and the sharp typical eunuch voice sounded.

"Wan Qing, why are you here to visit our family?"

"You are a popular person in front of the Emperor, how can you talk to us in such a condescending manner?"

These words and actions were full of ridicule and ridicule towards Wan Qing.

Now Wan Qing buried her head deeper and became more humble, and said in a deep voice:

"I don't dare, the lower official."

"Your Majesty just wants me to show off my skills and tricks. I will never dare to disobey the emperor's order."

"Lord Governor, please give me your money."

Cao Taiqing changed the topic and asked:

"Did you kill Zhai Zongyao's people?"

Wan Qing's heart skipped a beat and he replied:

"Back to the governor, when we were in Shandong, the two generals under General Zhai defected to the puppet government and were dismissed."

"We ask you, are you the one who killed Zhai Zongyao?!"

Before Wan Qing could finish speaking, Cao Taiqing's eyes burst out with anger, his voice suddenly became extremely sharp, and the entire living room seemed to be shrouded in haze.

"Don't show your little tricks in front of our family."

Wan Qing seemed to have his throat strangled by an invisible hand. In front of this old monster, his thoughts were probably completely naked. He could only reply honestly:

"Back to the governor, it was the lower officials who killed him."

Cao Taiqing said:

"Um."

"Do you know that your death is imminent?"

"Return to the Governor, I don't know if I'm a subordinate."

Seeing Wan Qing's indifference and no reaction, I'm afraid he thought he was being alarmist.

Cao Taiqing continued to say leisurely:
