Scumbag Training Manual

Chapter 218 Cao Dacheng Was Arrested

Pei Jing glanced at Chen Miao, both of them were puzzled, Chen Miao asked, "Aren't you Xiu Mu today?"

Pei Jing lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said to Chen Miao: "You have some breakfast first, I'll go and have a look, I'll be back in a while, and I'll take you to pick out clothes in a while."

Chen Miao could only nod her head, she didn't expect that Pei Jing would not come back until late at night.

Chen Miao fell asleep a long time ago, and felt that her side was sinking in her sleep. She barely opened her eyes, and saw Pei Jing's tired face, lying beside her with all her clothes on.

She raised her body and asked puzzledly: "Why, what happened? You came back so late?"

Pei Jing frowned and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Today, someone suddenly came from the capital and arrested Mr. Cao, saying that he has been corrupt and bribed, bought and sold officials for millions of taels in the past eight years. Now Mr. Cao has been imprisoned in the cell of the government office, and will be escorted to Beijing in about two days."

Chen Miao was stunned for a long time, and the original deep sleepiness was completely shocked by this news.

She murmured, "How could this be?"

Pei Jing was silent for a long time before he said: "Actually, many years ago, his hands and feet were probably not very clean. Back then when I lost to Xu Huai because of gambling, the Xu family probably gave Master Cao a lot of stuff. over silver."

He paused, then sighed softly, "Since my official position has been getting higher and higher, Mr. Cao has been more polite to me. I'm afraid it has something to do with that incident back then."

Chen worriedly said: "The government office must be in a mess now, right? Then what should Sister Qin and her son Cao Nan do with them? Sister Qin is still sick, will they be arrested as well?"

Pei Jing smiled lightly: "It's not as serious as you think. The people from the court only detained Mr. Cao. Because he was not convicted, he didn't even use the torture tools. He was just locked in a cell without freedom, let alone his family members. Now the mansion is under the management of Master Zhang, and I will help out today, at least there is no major disturbance. Mrs. Cao and Mr. Cao are still living in the military mansion, and Mrs. Zhang will take care of it personally, so you can rest assured."

Only then did Chen Miao feel more relieved, and said softly, "I'll go to join the military mansion tomorrow to see Sister Qin."

Pei Jing said softly: "You are pregnant now, don't worry so much, go to rest earlier. No matter what Mr. Cao does, after all, he is still taking care of me these days. I will try to help him as much as I can when he is in trouble this time. It will make him suffer too much."

Chen Miao sighed softly: "Women, children and children are the most innocent. I don't know how Sister Qin and Nan'er will live in the future."

Both of them were silent and lay down slowly, but neither of them felt sleepy, and they didn't fall asleep until the light turned white outside the window.

When Chen Miao woke up, Chen Shi had passed, and Pei Jing had disappeared.

She hurriedly got up, dressed and washed, ate some breakfast casually, and asked Juan'er to accompany her to join the military mansion.

When they came to the Junjun Mansion, the guards at the gate didn't take half a stick of incense to go in. They saw Jiang Yiru rushing over, and when they saw Chen Miao, they said, "I knew you would definitely come after you heard the news."

Chen Miao hurriedly said, "How is Sister Qin?"

Jiang Yiru pulled her and walked towards the inner courtyard, saying, "I'm in good spirits, and she's not crying. She's much stronger than you think."

Chen Miao's heart was quite heavy: "How could such a thing happen?"

Jiang Yiru said lightly: "People are in the officialdom, these things are unavoidable. What's more, the prefect Cao of her family is not very clean in his hands. After so many years, I don't believe that there is no one in the hands of others. It's just like this Once the incident happened, it was she and the child who suffered."

Chen Miao didn't know what to say, she followed Jiang Yiru silently, and the two came to the wing room in the backyard.

Qin Meiying was sitting in front of the window, watching Cao Nan write. Cao Nan was holding the brush with delicate fingers, copying a small regular script seriously, and had already written the last few characters.

Qin Meiying turned around and saw the two of them coming in, she smiled slightly, but there was really no sadness on her face, she just stood up and said with a smile: "Miaoer, you are here."

Chen Miao hurried forward, took her hand, opened her mouth, but didn't know where to start, Qin Meiying smiled slightly and said, "You sit down first."

Pulling Chen Miao to sit down, seeing that Cao Nan had finished writing the last few words, she smiled and said, "Nan'er, you can go and play with Ah Zhi."

Cao Nan agreed, first put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then greeted Chen Miao before trotting out.

Chen Miao looked at Cao Nan's back, and sighed softly: "Sister is blessed. Raise Nan'er well, and Nan'er will be honored."

Qin Meiying smiled faintly: "I just want him to be safe and well, so what about Guangzong Yaozu? When Dacheng first became an official, didn't everyone say he was Guangzong Yaozu? What will happen now?"

Jiang Yiru was silent for a while, and then said softly: "You don't have to worry too much, Zhang Jian has already taken care of him up and down, and he will definitely not let your old Cao suffer. This happened very suddenly, and the court ordered him to be escorted directly to the capital. It's not easy for Zhang Jian to help, but he wrote a letter overnight and sent it to the capital last night, asking his friends in the capital to help, try to make Lao Cao's crime lighter. As long as he is still there, there will always be something to look forward to in the future."

Qin Meiying smiled lightly: "Thank you very much."

Jiang Yiru only felt very sad, and sighed: "We have been friends for so many years, why are we talking about thanking you?"

Chen Miao said softly, "I don't know if there is anything I can do to help? Sister Qin can tell me."

Qin Meiying smiled lightly and said, "As long as you can raise your baby with peace of mind and nothing happens, you are helping me."

In fact, everyone knew that among these three people, Chen Miao probably knew the most nobles.

When the crown prince had some friendship with her family's husband Pei Jing, she also had a brother-sister relationship with Prince Xiang, not to mention that her little girl, Pei Yue, had served by the imperial concubine's side for half a year, and some people even secretly had rumors that, Pei Yue is Concubine De's default daughter-in-law.

It stands to reason that Cao Dacheng had such a big incident, the first person Qin Meiying should look for was Chen Miao.

But when Qin Meiying saw Chen Miao, she didn't say a word, she just dragged Chen Miao to talk about some irrelevant things, until it was almost noon, when Chen Miao left, Qin Meiying didn't say a word to ask her for help.

Jiang Yiru sent Chen Miao out, and Chen Miao hesitated for a long time before asking her: "Sister, how about I write a letter to Jingzhong to ask if there is room for maneuver in Mr. Cao's matter?"

Jiang Yiru lowered her head and thought for a while, then said softly: "I do understand a little bit what she means. This matter happened suddenly, and they were directly escorted back to Beijing for interrogation. It is not the best policy to ask for a relationship rashly. Let's wait a little bit until the trial When the results come down, let’s discuss it in the long term.”
