Cao Miao was stunned for a moment before he realized that the Cui Jun that Zhang Wei was talking about was Cui Lin, his biological mother, Mrs. Cui. But he still didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Wei's words. What kind of person is Cui Lin, why can't he become the Sili Captain?

Cao Miao was confused, but his face remained silent. He just smiled faintly, as if he was self-deprecating, and as if he agreed with Zhang Wei's point of view. He immediately made a request, hoping that Zhang Wei and Han Long would assist in investigating Zhong Tai to see what the relationship between him and the people of Shu were.

Zhang Wei showed some embarrassment on his face. "To be honest with the prince, we are all rough people. Zhong Tai is a branch of the Zhong family in Yingchuan, and a working official, and has no contact with us. If we appear by his side, it will inevitably arouse his vigilance, which will not help the prince's investigation."

Cao Miao laughed silently, with a little meaningful smile.

Zhang Wei and Han Long were very embarrassed. The prince came to the door and asked them to do something, but they couldn't do it. This was really shameless.

After a while, Cao Miao said lightly: "Can you kill someone?"

"This is no problem." Zhang Wei and Han Long said in unison.

"The Censorate sent someone to Chenliu and will bring Cang Ji back to Luoyang. I want you to intercept him, but not to kill him, but to scare him and let him know that someone is going to kill him to silence him."

"Scare him?" Zhang Wei rolled his eyes, then understood what Cao Miao meant, nodded and said, "Does the prince know who the person behind him are? If we know who it is, it is more convenient for us to do it."

Han Long said: "Yes, we have some friendship with the Huiren Family in Luoyang. If someone buys a murderer, we can take the opportunity to act."

Cao Miao was very curious. "Hui Renzhijia?"

Zhang Wei and Han Long smiled, exchanged glances, and became more confident.

Zhang Wei said: "The prince doesn't know that assassins and rangers certainly kill people for justice, but more so they are for profit. This kind of shameful business cannot be discussed in an open manner, so they can only contact them privately. This kind of contact is called Huirenzhijia. When Han Long and I first arrived in Luoyang, in order to make a living, we also took over the business at Huirenzhijia and had some friendship with them."

Cao Miao understood, it was the killer company. "It cannot be concluded yet, but it is highly likely that it has something to do with Wang Ji."

"The former prefect of Dongjun?"

"It's him."

Zhang Wei nodded and said nothing. Although Cao Zhi had already left the Yongqiu Palace when he was enfeoffed in Juancheng, he had heard of Wang Ji's false accusation of Cao Zhi. It was normal for Cao Miao to find trouble for Wang Ji.

Cao Miao didn't stay in Yangshi City for long. Before that, he and Ahu and Qingtao left Yangshi City. Although Qingtao couldn't bear to part with his younger brother Zhang Meng, he still followed Cao Miao back to the city and waited for the right opportunity to recruit Zhang Meng into the mansion.

Before leaving, Cao Miao drew a schematic diagram of stirrups for Zhang Wei, asking him to find someone to make some spares, and asked him to pay attention to finding the old subordinates of the Zhang family, gathering them together to wait for the needs of time. If you want to do something, it is not possible without some trustworthy people.

Zhang Wei agreed one by one.

——

When he returned to Luoyang City and passed by the door of the official office of the guesthouse order again, Cao Miao suddenly thought of a question.

The guest hall order is a subordinate of the Great Honglu, who is equivalent to the foreign minister of later generations. Did the envoys of Shu Han also live in the guest hall? If the rumors were really spread by the scammers of Shu Han, then the envoys of Shu Han are likely to be involved. It is better to find the envoys of Shu Han directly to find Zhong Tai.

Cao Miaole lived on his mount. "Ahu, go and ask where the Liaodong residence is, and then go to the Liaodong residence to ask if Gongsun Huang has returned."

Ah Hu responded and turned around.

Cao Miao took this opportunity to look at the surrounding environment and remember it in his heart. This is his habit. Whenever he arrives, he will pay attention to the terrain and no one knows when he will use it. He guessed that he will be more shy when he will act in the future, so he should prepare more.

At this time, a man suddenly walked out of the Cao Mansion opposite, walked quickly across the street, and walked towards Cao Miao. Cao Miao could see clearly, but turned his head away as if nothing had happened, pretending not to see it. The man walked to Cao Miao's horse and bowed down to bow.

"A guest of the General's Mansion, Feng Yi and Yang Wei, have met the prince."

Cao Miao turned his head and looked at Yang Wei, sitting upright on the horse's back. "Is there anything wrong?"

A hint of unhappiness flashed across Yang Wei's face. "Princess Deyang asked the prince to come to the mansion to speak."

Cao Miao frowned slightly. Who is Princess Deyang? At this time, Qingtao came over and attached it to Cao Miao's ears and said, "Prince, Princess Deyang is the sister of the general, the wife of Xiahou Shang, the former general of the Southern Conquest, and the biological mother of Xiahou Taichu."

Cao Miao secretly ranked his seniority. Princess Deyang is his elder, so he must see him. He nodded and said lightly: "Please go back first, I have something to deal with, and I will go and see you later."

Yang Wei bowed and turned back. Cao Miao was vulgar and rude. Even if he was not crazy, he was still a fool. He was too lazy to talk to Cao Miao.

Cao Miao waited for a while, and Ahu returned and said that Gongsun Huang had not returned from home and was not in the residence. Cao Miao had no choice but to turn around and cross the street, come to Cao's mansion, and ordered Ahu to come forward to report.

Not long after, a young man walked out of it, dressed in white, and his beautiful face was tangled. It was Xiahou Xuan.

Cao Miao was very surprised. "Why are you here too?"

Xiahou Xuan lowered his eyelids and bowed to salute. "Xuan is here to welcome the prince by his mother's order."

Cao Miao got off the horse, handed the reins to Ah Hu, and asked him to wait outside, and Qingtao accompanied him into the room. He walked side by side with Xiahou Xuan. Xiahou Xuan bowed his hand, lowered his head, looked at him without squinting, and walked quickly. Cao Miao tilted his head to look at him, but he pretended not to see it.

After Xiahou Xuan entered the door, walked through the vestibule and the atrium, and went straight to the back hall. Cao Miao saw the general's grandfather's private house and suddenly felt that he had a life goal. If he had money in the future, he would definitely build a big house to live in.

When I arrived at the back hall, there were more people in front of me. There were slaves wearing black scarves and blue clothes everywhere, and maids wearing brocade clothes passed by from time to time. When I looked at Cao Miao, there was a hint of shock in my eyes.

Cao Miao knew that they were shocked, but he didn't take it seriously. He raised his head and entered the back hall, climbed up the steps, looked at the middle-aged woman dressed in the middle, and looked at the four young beautiful maids standing beside him, frowned, revealing a hint of doubt.

"You are... Princess Deyang?"

"Rareless!" A tall maid with a pretty face was calm and shouted loudly. "You must not be rude in front of the princess."

Cao Miao glanced at her, then looked back at Xiahou Xuan, and grinned. "Taichu, the maids in your mansion all had a murderous aura, much stronger than you." He then sighed. "You are really in a blessing and don't know how blessed you."

Xiahou Xuan couldn't help but retort: ​​"If you ask the prince for advice, why don't I know how lucky I am?"
