"Ask Prime Minister Cai?"

Cao Kuo was immediately confused.

Cai Jingze said coldly and angrily: "Ask me? What are you asking me?"

"Xiang Cai, aren't you an old fool?"

Jiang Chen curled his lips and sneered: "Don't you know who caused the chaos in Jiangnan? The officials are always trying to protect your face, but it's too bad for you to pretend to be confused.

Not only did you not mention Zhu Meng's fault at all, but you also repeatedly tried every means to find someone to cover up his crimes. Where did your actions put the Duke of the country? Do you want the Cao family and Zhu Meng to bear eternal infamy?"

kindness?

When Cao Kuo heard this, he immediately looked at Cai Jing with evil eyes.

Although he was reckless, he was not a fool. He couldn't help but secretly thought:

No wonder Cai Jing, an old man like you, is so kind-hearted all of a sudden. He wants to give away his country’s war horses and give me the Cao family’s merits. Are you planning to let me cover up Zhu Meng’s crimes?

Cai Jing's face became hot when Cao Kuo saw him, and he yelled at Jiang Chen angrily: "Nonsense! Jiang Chen, you are clearly judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. In fact, you are dedicated to serving the public good and only want to put down the rebellion in Jiangnan as soon as possible."

, absolutely no other intention!”

"Yeah?"

Jiang Chen shook his head in disdain, turned to Cao Kuo and said: "My lord, you saw with your own eyes how Prime Minister Cai betrayed his father-in-law, King Zhongke of Mount Tai, just now.

Wherever you go, you have to make your own choice! I would like to remind you, but don’t fail to get the credit and end up in trouble!”

After saying that, Jiang Chen bypassed Cao Kuo and walked away side by side with Gao Qiu.

"What he said seems to make sense!"

Cao Kuo looked at his son Cao Bing inquiringly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"kindness."

Cao Bing nodded in agreement. Now that he didn't get the war horse, he also got into trouble with Jiang Chen, the official's favorite. It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

And in the process of meeting the saint just now, he clearly felt that Song Huizong's favor and trust in Jiang Chen far exceeded that of Cai Jing. Not surprisingly, Jiang Chen will definitely move into the center in a few years. It would be unwise for the Cao family to become an enemy of him!

Uh--

When Cai Jing saw the Cao family's father and son reacting like this, his old face was livid with anger, he shook his sleeves and robe fiercely, turned around and left.

Gao Qiu, who was looking back at the show, saw him, his eyes couldn't help showing a look of pleasure, he cupped his hands at Jiang Chen and said with a smile: "Liangchen, thank you for your kind words for me in the official house just now!

There's just one thing I can't figure out. The officials have always refused to accept Prime Minister Cai's petitions before, so why now...but what secret happened that I don't know about?"

As Gao Qiu spoke, he showed an expectant and gloating expression.

"Well, something great is indeed about to happen!

Now, except for the official family, Nie Fuyin and the two princes, no one else knows about it!"

After Jiang Chen looked around, he pulled Gao Qiu to a secluded place on the hillside, and then lowered his voice and said:

"To be honest, the leader of the underground old pole is not that Qu Feng at all, but a self-proclaimed leader of the Beggar Clan.

In addition, Mr. Nie and I also found out the person behind it... It is very likely that it is the Xungui Group behind Fan Lou and Yanglou Street! Among them, the Cao family is even more famous on the list!

You say, under such circumstances, how can the officials dare to let the Cao family lead troops out of the capital? You know, those lawless people proclaim themselves underground emperors!"

"Hmph! The underground emperor? He's just a bunch of street rats!

However, Prime Minister Cai is really asking for trouble by recommending Cao Kuo to lead the army this time! I guess that old man is still suspicious and doesn't know why?

Ha ha……"

While Gao Qiu laughed, he couldn't help but look at Cai Jing's back in the distance.

"Master Gao, please keep this matter strictly a secret. Don't even tell Brother Gao Binggao and the others. Just remind them to go out less in the past few days.

As hush money, how about I provide you with a thousand war horses?"
