Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

“The official has seen Niu Qianhu!”

Cao Renqi bowed his hands to Niu Ren, who was sitting at the top of the hall, and said respectfully.

Niu Ren raised his hand: “Master Cao, please sit down. Come, serve tea.”

Cao Renqi sat down on a chair at the bottom, and the maid brought tea.

Niu Ren took a sip of tea and asked lightly:

“Master Cao came to the Jinyiwei Yamen, and I don’t know why?”

Cao Renqi bowed and cupped his hands and said, “Xiaguan was assassinated a few days ago. I sent my housekeeper to ask Jin Yiwei to help capture the assassin. Niu Qianhu sent Huang Zongqi to do a little trick and caught the assassin. Xiaguan came here because I would like to express my special thanks to Niu Qianhu for his help. The five hundred taels of gold are what Xianguan promised before.”

After saying that, he waved and the accompanying guard brought up a brocade box and placed it on Niu Ren’s desk.

Niu Ren opened the brocade box and took a look. Inside, there were ten large gold ingots of fifty taels neatly stacked, shining with golden light.

Niu Ren closed the brocade box and smiled slightly: “You’re welcome, Mr. Cao.”

“It should be.” Cao Renqi smiled flatteringly, and then asked, “I wonder if this assassin has been imprisoned in prison?”

Niu Ren nodded: “Assassinating a fourth-rank official of the imperial court is an important criminal. Naturally, he will be imprisoned in prison. The assassin will also be interrogated as to why he wanted to assassinate Lord Cao.”

The fat on Cao Renqi’s face jumped involuntarily, and he cupped his hands and said:

“This assassin was originally a centurion under Xianguan. Later, Xianguan found out that he was having an affair with Japanese pirates, so Xianguan led people to arrest him. Unexpectedly, he jumped off a cliff and escaped.”

“Ten years have passed, and his martial arts have improved greatly. He had a grudge against his superior officer for exposing him as a Japanese comrade, which ruined his reputation, so he came to assassinate his superior officer. Fortunately, Mr. Huang took action to capture him.”

“But this guy actually went all the way and compiled a ridiculous story to frame the subordinate in order to win Mr. Huang’s sympathy. It’s really insidious and abominable!”

Cao Renqi fisted his hands with a look of resentment on his face, as if he had been greatly slandered.

Niu Ren sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm and he asked deliberately:

“Oh? What story did this assassin compile to frame Master Cao?”

Cao Renqi couldn’t help but be stunned, “Didn’t Mr. Huang report this matter to Niu Qianhu?”

After Huang Shaojie escorted Wu Zhen away, Cao Renqi became restless in the house.

He believed that Huang Shaojie would truthfully report the matter to Niu Ren. If Niu Ren, a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, pursues this incident, then he, Cao Renqi, may be in catastrophe.

Cao Renqi thought about it and realized that Wu Zhen was just a small centurion with no backing force behind him.

And he, Cao Renqi, is now a dignified fourth-grade captain, with tens of thousands of troops in hand.

Although Jin Yiwei did not take him seriously, as long as Cao Renqi was willing to spend money, Niu Ren should not be willing to overturn Wu Zhen’s case.

Niu Ren took a sip of tea and said, “Mr. Huang only reported the capture of the assassin to Ben Qianhu. He didn’t say a word about other matters.”

Cao Renqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that Huang Shaojie would report the matter to Niu Ren in a more jealous manner when he returned to Jinyiwei, but he didn’t expect that the boy didn’t mention anything.

It seems that I have misunderstood Huang Shaojie.

Now Cao Renqi is a little embarrassed. If he had known that Huang Shaojie had not reported this matter to Niu Ren, he should not have taken the initiative to mention it just now.

Now that Niu Ren pressed the question, he somehow managed to open his mouth.

“Master Cao, why don’t you speak? Why did this assassin slander you?”

Niu Ren held the teacup in his hand and looked at Cao Renqi meaningfully and asked.

Cao Renqi coughed dryly and said: “This Wu Zhen actually falsely accused Xiaguan of raping his wife back then, and framed him as a Japanese traitor because he was afraid of retaliation. It’s really ridiculous! Although this Wu family is quite handsome, but Xiaguan is also I have never seen a beautiful woman, how could she do such a thing that is worse than a beast?”

Niu Ren sneered secretly in his heart. These guys all admitted that Wu was born beautiful, and it was obvious that he had already had lustful thoughts at that time.

He smiled slightly and said: “Don’t worry, Mr. Cao, our Jin Yiwei will definitely investigate this matter and clear Mr. Cao’s name.”

When Cao Renqi heard this, he panicked.

I thought that I came to you just to hope that you would be noble and not pursue the case any further. It would be better for you to say seriously that you would give me a clean slate.

If I were innocent, would there be any need for me to come to you to give you gold and silver?

There are a few officials now who have clean bottoms. Although it is difficult to find out what happened back then, if other illegal crimes are found out, they will have to be sent to prison.

Cao Renqi said quickly: “How can we find out what happened back then? There is no need for Niu Qianhu to waste Jinyiwei’s manpower. This

Wu Zhen first colluded with Japanese pirates, and now he assassinated a court official. His crime was unpardonable, so it would be better to put him to death as soon as possible to settle the case. ”

Niu Ren sneered in his heart, but said slowly and calmly: “Don’t worry, this Wu Zhen was involved in treason with the Japanese and assassinated a court official. He must be interrogated strictly to see if he has any accomplices. How can the case be closed so hastily?”

Cao Renqi secretly said in his heart: Niu Ren is a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, so he can’t help but suspect that Wu Zhen has a grievance. At this moment, he should be deliberately trying to tease me about this matter. If this is true, it would be easier to handle.

Thinking of this, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: “Niu Qianhu, I have something to discuss with you in secret.”

As he said that, he looked at the guards in the lobby.

Niu Ren understood and waved his hand: “Everyone, please retreat!”

The guards all exited the lobby.

“Master Cao, what’s the matter with you? Can you tell me now?” Niu Ren asked.

Cao Renqi stood up and came to Niu Ren. He took out thirty banknotes worth one thousand taels from his sleeve and put his hands on the desk respectfully.

Niu Qianhu said with a flattering smile: “Niu Qianhu, these 30,000 taels of silver notes are a small gift from my subordinates, please Niu Qianhu accept it!”

Niu Ren looked at the banknotes on the desk, frowned and said, “Master Cao, what do you mean?”

Cao Renqi cupped his hands and said: “Please Niu Qianhu execute this Wu Zhen as soon as possible, otherwise Xiaguan will have trouble sleeping and eating, fearing that he will escape one day and come to assassinate Xiaguan again.”

Although this is just a poor excuse, there are some things that are difficult to say clearly. As long as Niu Ren accepted his banknote and knew full well that he had done something to him, it would be fine.

good for everyone.

Niu Ren put away the banknote and smiled slightly: “I understand what Mr. Cao means. Don’t worry, this Wu Zhen won’t survive tonight.”

Cao Renqi was overjoyed and bowed his head and said, “Thank you so much Niu Qianhu.”

Afterwards, Cao Renqi said goodbye and left.

Looking at Cao Renqi’s leaving figure, Niu Ren sneered secretly.
