Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 1078 Seventy-seven · Stealing

  Liao Jing continued to speak, then raised his head to look at him again, his face was very ugly.

   He didn't think Tang Yuan and Su Yao did something wrong, nor did he think there was anything wrong with this plan.

   However, he was worried about food.

  If Cao Ruishen has problems, will he honestly transport food to the front line? !

   Now that batch of food is indeed the largest amount that can be raised recently. If something goes wrong, what will the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line eat? It is absolutely impossible for them to have nothing to eat.

   Just thinking of this, Liao Jingxu felt a chill in his heart.

  In his heart, he was both angry and worried about being framed by Cao Ruishen, and his mood sank to the bottom for a while.

   Tang Yuan's mentality was much better than Liao Jingxu's. He smiled and said, "There is a problem with Cao Ruishen, and your Highness must already know about it."

Oh? Liao Jingxu raised his eyebrows: "You already knew that there were traitors, so you sent someone to deliver the letter?"

It makes sense to think about it this way. Tang Yuan's fake death is really a feat, and it will reduce the vigilance of the enemy. For example, Cao Ruishen waited until he left the city before letting those officers and soldiers pretending to be bandits go to the governor's mansion to kill Su Yao's. , Zhang Can commanded Yang to lead them, and also came to attack the city after Tang Yuan suspended his death.

Tang Yuan patted Liao Jingxu on the shoulder: "Master Liao, these are not important now, the important thing is that now we have defended Kunming, and most of the elites in Anhua Prefecture and Xundian Prefecture have been captured by us. There are also generals like General Yang and General Wang Can, and now, Xundian Prefecture and Anhua Prefecture should be anxious."

   Liao Jingxu had already thought of this for a long time, and when he heard Tang Yuan say this, he quickly adjusted his mood.

   Yes, he took the soldiers and civilians to defend the city desperately, and his attitude has been set here. No one can say that he colluded with Cao Ruishen. If Cao Ruishen is going to die, then let Cao Ruishen die.

  Why should he care about this?

   His eyes are full of big things to do.

   Thinking so, Liao Jingxu bowed his hands at Tang Yuan, and the two smiled at each other.

   In the afternoon, the matter here was temporarily settled, and Liao Jingxu went back to the city with Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan and Liao Jingxu returned to the Governor's Mansion together. Liao Jingxu went to see his wife first. He had to tell Mrs. Liao about the Cao family. Mrs. Liao didn't know that the crisis had been resolved. Asked about the current situation, for fear that if he asked, Liao Jingxu would say that the city could no longer be held.

   Therefore, when Liao Jingxu told her that Cao Ruishen colluded with Mouton, he stole the food and grass by himself, and after Master Ji's batch of food and grass was also stolen by him, Madam Liao failed to react.

  Liao Jingxu saw his wife stunned, so he coughed: "Does your cousin often come to our house to inquire about news?"

Mrs. Liao couldn't tell what she was feeling. She felt like she was dreaming, but when Liao Jingxu reminded her again, she suddenly recalled the words she had inquired about after Mrs. Cao came a while ago. I shivered, and suddenly felt terrified.

   She has a good relationship with her cousin, and because they are in Yunnan together, they take good care of each other.

   She even treated her cousin as her own sister and never defended herself.

   As a result, my cousin followed Cao Ruishen to design them!

  If this thing really happens, then the Governor's wife, who is now a prisoner, will definitely be more miserable than any woman.

   Even if she knew this, Madam Cao did it without hesitation.

   Mrs. Liao's eyes turned red, but she quickly recovered, and snorted coldly, "Would you like to ask someone to search in their house?"

  Since he colluded with Mouton, Cao Ruishen went out of the city to deliver food and grass, there must be some things in the house that he couldn't take away, and no matter what, he would leave clues.

Seeing that she didn't mean to speak for Madam Cao, Liao Jingxu snorted: "I just came to tell you that this is a big crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. We can't tolerate adultery anyway, so this family should be gone. Don't worry, everything is fine now, you can rest assured."

   After talking to Mrs. Liao about these things, Liao Jingxu went to the signing room and asked someone to bring soldiers to Cao Ruishen's mansion.

Mrs. Cao was still sleeping. Anyway, what happened at the city gate had nothing to do with her. Those people would not implicate her if they broke in. Suddenly the door was knocked open. She sat up frowning, and it was too late to scold the people below. The maid saw the maid crying and kneeling down, saying that officers and soldiers surrounded the mansion, and now a large number of officers and soldiers are in Cao Ruishen's study in the front yard.

   Mrs. Cao's mind buzzed, and she was instantly stunned. The whole person seemed to be out of her body. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

   When the maid said it again, she felt a pain in her heart, and finally realized that something was wrong, she stumbled to the front yard, but was blocked by a group of officials.

   She collapsed suddenly, pointed at those people and asked sternly, "Who sent you here?! What place do you think this is?"

  The officials ignored her. She had no choice. Seeing those people kept moving things out of Cao Ruishen's study, she was so excited that they jumped and shouted to find Mrs. Liao.

   But at this time, no one will pay attention to her words anymore.

   Mrs. Cao's eyes were red and bloodshot, and she said with a sneer, "When my master comes back, none of you will be able to eat and go!"

   At this time, Cao Ruishen sneezed violently.

  Wen Sheng found out immediately, saw him frowning, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, are you not feeling well? It's windy at night, don't be cold."

   Cao Ruishen was rather uneasy, shook his head absently, and asked, "How many days have passed since they attacked the city?"

  Wen Sheng replied calmly, "It's been seven days."

   Seven days later, Cao Ruishen let out a breath, lowered his eyes and said, "Then there should be news. Is there news now?"

  According to the soldiers in Kunming, they couldn't last for ten days. On the seventh day, there should be news anyway.

  Wen Sheng shook his head: "Sir, don't be too impatient. I heard that Wang Shenjian always wants to be stable when he does things, and there are times when he is late."

  Cao Ruishen had no choice but to stop thinking about this issue, nodded and asked, "Are you ready? Has the person who responded over there spread the news?"

   Bringing up the important matter, Wen Sheng hurriedly said: "Everything is ready, we will steal the food and grass today"

   He was a little proud: "At that time, the good food and grass will go to Dali House, and the bad food and grass will naturally be sent to West Yunnan A by us, which is also a great gift from us to His Highness."
