Chapter 46 I Care a Lot VS He Wants to Hit Someone
"What? Nangong Cuo is also dead?"
In the morning, King Han An heard the news of Nangong Cuo's death and stood up from his chair in shock.
Ji Wuye sneered in his heart. Mo Ya killed Nangong Cuo last night.
At this point, Zhang Kaidi's prestige in the court was greatly reduced.
Everyone knows that the five chief judges were promoted by Zhang Kaidi.
If Zhang Kaidi did not take any action, but retreated and gave in, Ji Wuye would wipe out this family of prime ministers for generations, even if it would cause the anger of Han Wangan. He wanted to truly control the Kingdom of Korea!
As for the reason, can ghost soldiers do it?
Cheng Jiao had no idea that he was in a dilemma at this moment, and even if he knew, he would not care.
Last night, Zi Nu and Nong Yu said that after Cheng Jiao fell asleep, they went to Nong Yu's room, leaving Cheng Jiao alone in the empty room, making Cheng Jiao miss the days when he was caught between Li Wu and Jing Wei.
It was noon and Cheng Jiao got up and stretched, still feeling a little sleepy.
Zi Nu brought the food over, including a basket of soup dumplings, which she knew Cheng Jiao liked.
Under Zi Nu's gaze, Cheng Jiao slowly enjoyed this rare breakfast.
"Nangong is dead." Zi Nu said.
"The fifth chief judge? Ji Wuye really wants to kill Prime Minister Zhang!"
"There is news that the King of Han has asked Prime Minister Zhang to be in charge of the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the pay."
"That must have been Ji Wuye's suggestion."
"You are right. Perhaps this is Ji Wuye's purpose."
"We can just wait and see how this develops."
Cheng Jiao slurped up the last soup dumpling and drank the rest of the rice porridge, feeling relaxed all over.
Zi Nu hesitated for a moment: "Ninth Master Han Fei is here."
"Come and drink some wine?" Cheng Jiao pulled Zi Nu's hand and played with it.
"He said he wanted to wait for someone." Zi Nu patted Cheng Jiao's hands, her tone somewhat helpless.
"Prime Minister Zhang?"
"I don't know."
"I guess it must be Prime Minister Zhang. Let's make a bet?"
"I do not!"
Zi Nu felt a tingling sensation in the palm of her hand and firmly rejected Cheng Jiao's bet.
"That's a pity."
Cheng Jiao felt a little regretful that Zi Nu had started to learn her lesson in front of him, which would be detrimental to her future work!
Zi Nu cleaned up the dishes and prepared to go out.
Cheng Jiao suddenly said, "Remember to ask Han Fei for money first. Don't let him buy on credit."
He cares a lot about it, because getting something for free is always the most satisfying when you enjoy it all by yourself.
Also, he has already regarded Zilanxuan as his own home and cannot allow the proprietress to let others buy on credit.
Zi Nu leaned against Cheng Jiao and closed the door, the lingering sound reaching Cheng Jiao's ears.
"understood."
Cheng Jiao nodded with satisfaction, yawned, and prepared to take a nap. Damn this boring life.
Zi Nu returned to the room and saw Cheng Jiao had fallen asleep again. She shook her head slightly, and gently closed the door with a helpless smile on her face.
When Cheng Jiao got up again, only some afterimages of the sun were left, and by the time he put on his clothes, it was already night.
Cheng Jiao asked Zi Nu and found out that Han Fei was still drinking. He couldn't help but admire that Han Fei had a very strong body and stomach.
Zi Nu knelt beside Cheng Jiao and poured wine for him.
"Chang'an Jun is really romantic. The proprietress of Zi Lan Xuan is here to accompany him personally. Han Fei is envious."
Han Fei was drinking by himself, and originally wanted to ask the two girls to relieve his stress, but he didn't expect Zi Nu to ask him to pay first. Unfortunately, the money in his pocket was only enough for drinking, and he had no money left to spend. Han Fei was very depressed.
"If you want the sisters to accompany you, as long as you pay, Zi Nu will personally select two sisters for you to accompany you. How about that?"
"Miss Zi Nu, you are joking. You must be out of money. I had to borrow money from my younger sister for this drink."
Cheng Jiao was stunned when he heard this, and secretly took note of it. He would tell Honglian next time that the money she lent Han Fei was used for drinking and prostitution.
"Brother Han, is the person you are meeting here the Prime Minister?"
Cheng Jiao drank the orchid wine that Zi Nu fed him.
"Oh? Chang'an Jun knows?" Han Fei was a little surprised.
Cheng Jiao smiled and said nothing.
Han Fei was about to continue asking when a voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, the Prime Minister and Mr. Zhang Liang want to see you."
Han Fei put aside his other thoughts and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."
Zhang Xiangguo stood at the door, frowning.
"Young Master Han Fei, it turned out to be him."
He looked to the side and saw Chang'an Jun Cheng Jiao was also there. He felt a little puzzled as to how Cheng Jiao got involved with the Ninth Young Master.
"Miss Zi Nu, this orchid wine goes really well with the gold-threaded red agate cup. It's a unique taste."
Han Fei almost ignored Prime Minister Zhang, picked up the wine glass and tasted it by himself.
"As long as you are satisfied, young master." Zi Nu said with a smile.
"I originally had a Sea Coral Bottle, which was the perfect match for the orchid wine, but unfortunately I just gave it to someone else."
Han Fei had a point.
Zi Nu was about to speak, but Cheng Jiao spoke first.
"Oh? Isn't that the Azure Sea Coral Bottle Brother Han's favorite? Brother Han is worried that I might covet it."
Cheng Jiao is having fun.
Han Fei smiled and said, "Of course it's a favorite thing, but I got something more valuable in exchange. I have to thank that person."
Seeing Han Fei being so rude, Prime Minister Zhang turned away in anger.
Zhang Liang subconsciously opened his mouth, trying to stop him.
"grandfather!"
Han Fei knew that he could no longer ignore the Prime Minister, so he spoke.
With just a few words, he asked Zhang Kaidi to stay. By observing Zhang Kaidi's clothes, he inferred from the details that Zhang Kaidi was upset and anxious for a solution, and that he had no other way out.
After listening to Han Fei's analysis, Prime Minister Zhang fell silent and began to face up to the Ninth Prince, whom he thought was cynical.
Cheng Jiao and Zi Nu left tactfully so as not to disturb the secret conversation between Han Fei and Prime Minister Zhang.
They came to a private room next to Wei Zhuang to enjoy the scenery, and the two sat at the table and whispered.
Cheng Jiao suddenly smiled and took out the Blue Sea Coral Bottle he won from Zi Nu.
When Zi Nu saw this, she smiled helplessly.
He whispered, "What if Han Fei saw it?"
Cheng Jiao replied: "It will be interesting if he sees it."
Zi Nu had no choice but to pick up the wine jug and fill it with orchid wine for Cheng Jiao, which made Cheng Jiao feel very comfortable.
Zhang Xiangguo and Zhang Liang left. Han Fei watched them leave in the carriage in the room, then got up and left the private room and walked in the corridor of Zi Lan Xuan.
When passing by Wei Zhuang's private room where he was enjoying the view, he paused for a moment and looked into Wei Zhuang's eyes.
The ninth prince, Han Fei.
Are you the descendant of Guiguzi?
Their respective identities flashed through their minds.
Han Fei smiled slightly, which became more and more interesting. He was very confident and capable, and everything was under control.
When Han Fei took two more steps forward, he paused and stared at the wine glass in Cheng Jiao's hand. Somehow, his mood suddenly became very bad.
Cheng Jiao raised his glass to gesture and said with a smile.
"Brother Han, this Azure Sea Coral Bottle and Orchid Wine are a perfect match, you are right. Speaking of which, I said the other day that this thing is really meant to be with me, but you didn't believe it, Brother Han."
Zi Nu lowered her head and fiddled with the cup. She felt that Cheng Jiao really deserved a beating at this moment.
Han Fei sighed: "A gentleman does not take away what others like. A gentleman is happy to help others achieve their goals. Han Fei admires this."
He shook his head and walked out of Zi Lan Xuan.
His goal has been achieved. With the formula of water dissolving gold and Zhang Kaidi's promise, the Blue Sea Coral Jar is just a beloved object, not his heart, and is not worth getting angry about.
But, he really wanted to hit someone!
There are three chapters today, and there is one more chapter to go. I have revised it twice and need to revise it again. I will post this chapter first.
