"What? Young Master, are you going to see Liu Defa tomorrow at noon?" While everyone was having supper together, Hongxiu suddenly exclaimed loudly, then reacted, lowered his voice slightly, turned to Wang Zhiyuan and said, "Teacher, why don't you go with Young Master tomorrow at noon?"

Wang Zhiyuan was about to nod his head and agreed, but Cao Yi had already refused: "No, I'll go by myself tomorrow, but then Brother Gongye will go with me and bring four more guards. I have asked Jiangning to send someone to support him. It should be in two or three days. Everyone should be careful these days."

"But..." Hongxiu wanted to persuade Cao Yi, and was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by the latter. Cao Yi picked up a chopstick dish and stuffed it directly in front of Hongxiu's mouth. With a "ah", he signaled Hongxiu to open his mouth and eat it.

Hongxiu immediately stretched out the bowls and chopsticks to catch them, but Cao Yi insisted on feeding them, so he had to open his mouth and bit them shyly. Then he blocked what he wanted to say. Although his eyes looked at Cao Yi with dissatisfaction and condemned him for not letting him speak just now, he had no lethality.

After dinner, Wang Zhiyuan gave Cao Yi a look. Cao Yi raised his head slightly and signaled Wang Zhiyuan to come to the study with him. Hongxiu saw this and did not follow Cao Yi. His teacher must be able to control the situation. Moreover, the young master and the teacher should have their own decisions, so he would not cause trouble.

When he arrived in the study, Wang Zhiyuan looked at Cao Yi and said, "It's hard to explain in detail just now. Cao Yi, why don't you repeat what you said to Fei Zhizhou today to me, and I'll see if I can give some advice or have any suggestions."

Then Cao Yi mentioned the key points about what Fei Haomiao talked to him today and told Wang Zhiyuan in detail.

"In this way, it has been confirmed that Zuo Gaoang was killed by the man named Huang Man'er, and it is very likely that the Liu family or Liu Defa had guessed or had known that Zuo Gaoang would record all the crimes that Liu Chengze had committed before."

Cao Yi nodded, "Well, I guess it's Liu Defa or a think tank-like figure beside him. I think Zuo Gaoang is very likely to expose or confess Liu Chengze's crime, so I sent Huang Man'er to kill someone to silence him. However, I guess Huang Man'er is a force-type but not an intellectual-type person, so after killing Zuo Gaoang for the first time, he left so many flaws. The second time, the Liu family sent him to find a possible confession or

He had found evidence that although he had searched in common places, he did not look up at the beam, nor did he find He Li to see it. He should not be very careful and... smart."

"Well, maybe that's the truth... I just don't know if it's because of Gongye Yuanzhou or the Huang Man'er from the Western Regions..." Wang Zhiyuan underestimated.

"Uh..." Cao Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect why Uncle Wang was discussing whether Huang Man'er killed Zuo Gaoang the moment ago, and why did he compare his martial arts and combat power with Gongye Yuanzhou later.

When Wang Zhiyuan saw Cao Yi's expression, he knew what Cao Yi was thinking. He said seriously and solemnly: "We marched and fought. Even if the two countries had already negotiated a truce and formed an alliance, everything must be guarded against the worst result... Since Huang Man'er can be so relied on by Liu Defa, he naturally has his uniqueness, which may be super force. You are very rational. Everything is the most appropriate way to yourself. No matter what you do, it will always be the most reasonable choice. But you cannot also treat others by your own standards, just like if the Liu family suddenly loses its mind? No one can guarantee whether they will send Huang Man'er to kill you!"

"If you really wait until that time, it will be too late to think about how to be prepared. So Cao Yi, no matter what kind of winning situation you are in in the future, even at the last moment, unless the final conclusion is completely set, don't let go of your guard!" Wang Zhiyuan looked at Cao Yi with a serious look and said sincerely: "Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, and dogs will turn into wolves when they are anxious. Some beasts, even if they are dead, will still retain the ability to bite people tightly, let alone enemies who are several times more dangerous than them..."

Cao Yi looked at Wang Zhiyuan and nodded. After all, he had been in the modern rule of law society for too long. Although he had been in this world for more than two years, some of his mentality had not changed: "I understand, Uncle Wang, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, I will not let myself fall into an uncontrollable dangerous situation."

"Well, in my guess, there are only two types of meeting Liu Defa tomorrow. First, let's take a look at your views and reactions about the conflict between you and Liu Chengze before. It is a warrior and a family of salt gangs. They have the character of harmony as the most important thing, but when they should be cruel and ruthless, they will never be ruthless... Cao Yi, what did you think about Liu Chengze in the end?"

Cao Yi was silent for a moment,

With a hint of wry smile, he said, "Uncle Wang, I really want to arrest Liu Chengze and bring it to justice, but our strength is still too weak at present. It is very likely that I will report Liu Chengze's crimes to the official, but he has nothing to do, but I will expose my hostility... It may even attract retaliatory blows from the Liu family!"

There was a short silence in the study room, and neither of them spoke. After a moment, Wang Zhiyuan's voice sounded: "Think about the present moment first. Liu Defa made an appointment with you. It should not be a showdown with you, otherwise it would be enough to directly deal with you. There is no need to make an appointment with you. Since the appointment has been made, he would still want to understand your situation in his heart. As for whether to break up or get together, the initiative is still in your own hands... You have to think about what decisions to make tomorrow, and how to make a decision in the face of different answers. I think these things are no longer needed for me to make decisions. With your personality and intelligence, I must have made plans already?"

Wang Zhiyuan patted Cao Yi on the shoulder and said seriously: "No matter what decision you make in the end, we will firmly support you behind your back!"

Cao Yi looked at Wang Zhiyuan, nodded, and let out a "hmm" sound! Then the two stopped talking and briefly talked about the preparations for the Zhuxian Tower in Yangzhou, as well as the specific situations sent by Jiangning about Jiangning Zhuxian Tower and Taibai's secrets, and then they went back to their own rooms to rest.

...

At the beginning of noon the next day, Cao Yi took advantage of the carriage of the prefectural prefecture and brought Gongye Yuanzhou and four other guards to the place where he went to the invitation, Mingyulou.

Mingyulou, like Huamanlou, is also among the six brothels in Yangzhou. Its popular brand, Xin Nini, is one of the six famous courtesans in Yangzhou. It is praised as the "Six Arts of Yangzhou" for its unparalleled Guzheng skills.

Cao Yi and others got off the carriage and looked at Mingyulou, which was a huge golden and brilliant building complex in front of them. They couldn't help but wonder if they could meet this famous courtesan in advance today. The day when he asked the Diao Su to come forward and invite him to come forward and invite him was three days later.

But today's luncheon, with the identity and reputation of Liu Defa, the richest man in Yangzhou, is logically speaking, there will be courtesans who come out to accompany the guests at Mingyulou.

Cao Yi shook his head and laughed at himself as if he had already reached this skill. He still had the leisure to think about the courtesan. It would be better to calm down and deal with Liu Defa first.
