Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 278 Enemies and childhood friends meet face to face

"Oh? Then tell me, what is good about Jiang Ning, and what is bad about him?"

The Supreme's eyes had become a little gentler, and his words were no longer harsh, but contained a hint of scrutiny.

Cao Yu lowered his head and said, "Jiangning is a wealthy place, and it is also the hometown of important officials of the imperial court. It has never had any difficulties in collecting taxes and levies over the years.

“The only puzzling thing is that there are many unsolved cases in the county.

"I therefore want to review all the cases in the past 20 years to see where the problem lies."

Dai Quan blinked when he heard it, and the look he gave him suddenly became strange.

Feng Ziying heard the man talking at the back and couldn't help but lean half of his body out of the neat line to look at the front.

After a long while, he realized that he couldn't see the man's face, so he subconsciously took half a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and stretched his neck.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into the person standing in front of him.

That man was his father: Feng Tang.

Feng Tang turned around suddenly, glared at him fiercely, and uttered a few words through his teeth:

“…Behave yourself!”

Unexpectedly, Tai Shang heard it and turned around, just in time to see Feng Ziying's surprised expression, which he had not had time to retract, and he couldn't help but smile.

She waved to him, "Why are you running so far? Come here!"

Feng Ziying had no choice but to smile and nod to his father, then walked over carefully and stood on the other side of Tai Shang.

"What were you looking at just now?" Tai Shang asked him with a smile.

Feng Ziying replied respectfully: "This is the first time I have heard of someone wanting to see twenty years of files. I guess this person must be a fast reader and have a photographic memory, so I am curious and want to see the real person."

The Supreme Lord laughed and said to Cao Yu, "Cao, look up." He then smiled at Feng Ziying and said, "Look!"

Cao Yu raised his head.

Feng Ziying was shocked when he saw it. He rubbed his eyes quickly and moved closer to look at the face carefully.

Cao Yu couldn't stand it anymore and rolled his eyes.

Feng Ziying laughed out loud: "I was just saying it sounded familiar!"

He stood back and explained to the Supreme with a smile: “We have a group of trouble-making brothers in the capital, most of them are from the families of the four kings and eight dukes.

"Later we faced a group of people. They couldn't beat us in a fight, and we couldn't beat them in a verbal fight.

"This Cao Kuangru is the person we least want to encounter among the opponents.

“He has such a good memory!

"We know the details from ten or eight years ago, including all the anecdotes mentioned in official and unofficial history, and even the utensils used by the rural people for food and use. There is nothing he doesn't know!

"At that time, he often scolded us with our own made-up stories, which made our faces hurt!"

As I was talking, I recalled the joy of my youth and couldn't help but smile and turned back:

"Mr. Cao, you have finally come to this day! Now that you are an official, you are no longer free, right?!"

Tai Shang laughed: "Do you recognize him?"

Cao Yu bowed his head respectfully: "Yes. We have known each other for about ten years.

"It's just that my brother has been teaching me these past few years, so I've been studying at home to prepare for the exams and haven't been out much.

"I haven't seen Brother Feng for about three or four years."

From a teenager to a young adult, the changes in three or four years are indeed quite big, especially in the voice.

So it is normal for Feng Ziying to have doubts and want to confirm them.

The Grand Master smiled and twirled his beard: "Since you are Ziying's friend, I will feel relieved that the Queen Mother has you by her side."

Yin smiled and said, "How about this. As long as the Queen Mother doesn't find any fault with you before she leaves, I will remove the word '代' from you."

Cao Yu bowed to the ground hurriedly: "I thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"

Daiyu stood behind the empress dowager, listening quietly, and her shoulders and back relaxed.

That's great.

The place where the Northern King placed Cao Kuangru was exactly as he wished!
