Do you know how I have lived these years?

If a butterfly can cause a storm, what can a book cause?

Ximen Qing will tell you with the facts—chicken and egg.

It turned out that with his ingenuity and cunning, he won the lawsuit and made a lot of noise in the county.

On weekdays, roaming the streets and hooking up with beautiful women is quite comfortable.

He has even asked Mrs. Wang to set a trap for Sister Jinlian. According to the established track, maybe he will get what he wants.

Unexpectedly, a book that suddenly became popular in Bianjing City directly transferred Wu Dutou, who was on a business trip, home.

And at the critical moment, it fell from the sky.

So the senior officials of Ximen were sad. Not only did they not eat the meat, but they were almost killed by Wu Song directly.

If Wu University hadn't died and Wu Erlang had scruples, the official Ximen would have died on the spot.

But even though he escaped with his life, he was stripped of his sense of right and wrong, became an eunuch, and was forced to make a written statement.

When he wanted to take revenge secretly with the help of the government, he found that the Wu brothers had moved with their family and disappeared.

After Ximen Qing knew what was going on, he almost died of anger.

He hated Wu Song, and hated Cao Bin even more, but no matter which one, he was incapable of revenge.

He didn't know Wu Song's whereabouts, let alone provoke Cao Bin.

However, there is no such thing as an unparalleled path, and he actually found a way to get rich from the "Jin Ping Mei", and crazily expanded his family property.

Although Ximenqing's character is not good, he is good at flattery.

Just a year ago, he even got in touch with the housekeeper of Cai's mansion, gave all his property to Cai Jing, and successfully became Cai Jing's godson.

Cao Bin also didn't expect that he concealed a lot of plots, and some of Ximen Qing's trajectories coincided with "Jin Ping Mei".

After that, Cai Jing recommended Ximen Qing to Duan Wang Zhao Ji.

Because of the similar smell, he became Zhao Ji's confidant not long after.

With such a strong backing, Ximen Qing suddenly felt that he had the confidence to take revenge.

Originally, he didn't intend to trouble Cao Bin so early.

This time, the private design did not move Jieshan, and it was just to please Zhao Ji.

Unexpectedly, the Xixia people found Cao Bin again.

Although there are now more than a hundred civil and military officials in the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, Ximen Qing didn't take it seriously.

He has Duan Wang and Cai Jing behind him, and his backing is no worse than Cao Bin.

He didn't believe that these people dared to intervene indiscriminately, asking for trouble.

Besides, the stolen goods arranged by himself are the treasure of Duan Wang's heart, so he must be very anxious now.

If Cao Bin sheltered the Xixia people, he would be convicted of colluding with the Xixia people and stealing treasures from the palace.

At that time, find out the stolen goods by yourself, not only gain more trust from King Duan, but also get revenge.

Even if Grand Master Pang Ji came forward, Cao Bin would pay the price.

Just when he thought that Cao Bin would care about his current background and argue with him, he didn't prevent Pan Bao from being hit in the face with a pot of hot soup.

Ximen Qing jumped up and shouted in pain, angrily said:

"You guys are so courageous. Prince Duan's Mansion was robbed, and you're so rampant, not to mention harboring bandits."

Seeing Eighth Sister Yang looking at him, Pan Bao became even more excited and cursed:

"Things like dogs, also want to scare us?"

As he said that, he had already jumped in front of Ximen Qing and kicked him in the head with one kick.

Pang Yu also scolded with a smile:

"I don't know how to live or die. I'm just a dog. Do you really think you are Cai Jing's son?"

"Don't say it's you, it's Cai Jing himself. Do you think I'm afraid?"

Ximen Qing didn't expect that these people in front of him would be so arrogant, they didn't care about Duan Wang and Cai Jing at all, and hurriedly shouted to his subordinates:

"Come and save me!"

Hearing this, the servants of Prince Duan's Mansion could not help but look at each other, and did not dare to step forward.

Seeing this, Ximen Qing felt cold in his heart. He didn't know where he made a mistake, so that such an accident happened...

Seeing that Ximen Qing was carried away by the servants of the Wang's family on the verge of death, Jie Shan finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He did not expect that Pang Yu and Pan Bao, the children of the most powerful and powerful, could offend Cai Jing and Duan Wang for Cao Bin.

Where is this lack of power?This is clearly at the center of power.

Although he himself is not an important minister of the court, he has enough weight.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

If he had known that Da Song was so difficult to mess with, he might as well have tried his best to curry favor with Cao Bin from the beginning.

Even if he didn't get the status of the She family general, he would be much stronger than now.

Now, I don't even have any capital, so I can only say:

"Uncle Cao, I have not moved my family and am willing to be loyal for generations to come and serve as a slave."

Cao Bin waved his hands disdainfully:

"Don't tell me this, I don't believe in empty words, let's see your performance..."

"If you can convince other tribes in Xixia to vote for me, I will trust you even more!"

Hearing this, Wuyi Jieshan heaved a sigh of relief, no matter what, Wuyi's home was finally saved.

Seeing that the matter subsided, everyone didn't care, and continued to eat and drink.

However, not long after, someone suddenly reported:

"Master, His Royal Highness Duan Wang has arrived with the people from Kaifeng Mansion."

Cao Bin's eyes froze suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the trembling Wuyi Jieshan and said:

"Old fellow, have you tampered with Prince Duan's mansion?"

Unmoved Jieshan hastily shook his head and said:

"No, absolutely not. The old man wanted to give King Duan...a gift, but King Duan kicked us out immediately after hearing my request."

At this time, Zhao Ji had already brought people into Zhongjinghou's mansion, and he glanced at everyone with a gloomy face.

Everyone fell silent, even Pang Yu and Pan Bao didn't dare to speak casually.

Only then did Zhao Ji turn his gaze to Cao Bin and said, "Cao Bin, you don't take me seriously at all, do you?"

Cao Bin pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is the meaning of this, my lord?"

Zhao Ji's eyes were full of anger, he glanced at Cao Bin, and said to Zhan Zhao behind him, "Come on!"

Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Uncle, please forgive me. We received a report from Prince Duan's Mansion. Several volumes of famous paintings were lost in the mansion. The patriarch's failure to move is the most suspected."

Zhao Ji nodded and said:

"Cao Bin, what else can you say, those paintings of mine were bought for 1 taels a pair, and a total of six copies were lost."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and Pang Yu shouted directly:

"My lord, you are too exaggerated, 1 taels of silver a piece? How can there be such an expensive painting!"

Cao Bin also nodded and said: "My lord, you are too fake..."

Zhao Ji said disdainfully: "You bunch of dudes, how do you know the preciousness of famous paintings, don't say 1 taels, even 10 taels, I don't think it's expensive."

As he said that, he turned his head and said, "Fu Jin, tell them where you bought these paintings and how much money you spent."

At this time, two girls disguised as men came out from behind Zhao Ji.

One of them nodded repeatedly, and Karanzi said angrily with big eyes:

"Cao...Bo Zhongjing, we didn't lie to you. I bought them in Duobao Pavilion. Each painting costs 1 taels."

The other also said: "I can testify that the princess is telling the truth. My father is Li Gefei, a doctor of imperial studies. I can vouch in his name."

"Duobao Pavilion?..."

Hearing this name, Cao Bin was also taken aback. He didn't expect that Zhang Zhenniang was even darker than himself, and would sell a pair for ten thousand silver.

Zhao Fujin stared nervously at Cao Bin and nodded:

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the boss of Duobao Pavilion."

Cao Bin didn't speak, he waved to Zhang Zhenniang and others who were watching the excitement and said with a smile:

"You don't need to look for it, this is the boss of Duobao Pavilion."

Zhao Ji and the others were stunned for a moment, and said, "Duobao Pavilion is opened by your family?"

Zhang Zhenniang was a little shy in the face of so many people, and hurriedly said:

"That...that's the property my uncle gave me."

Zhao Ji was a little confused: "So, you sold those paintings to us?"

Zhang Zhenniang nodded and said, "The uncle painted it himself. There are ten paintings in total, and they were sold for 10 taels of silver."

As she said that, she quickly explained: "I didn't lie to you, you insisted on buying it yourself..."

Zhao Ji didn't care about her defense, but he couldn't believe it and said, "You said those paintings were made by Cao Bin."

As he spoke, he kept shaking his head and said, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Regardless of his reaction, Cao Bin laughed directly and said:

"My lord, how could Cao's own painting be stolen back by his subordinates? Are you kidding me?"

Zhao Fujin plucked up his courage and said, "I don't believe that you painted those paintings. What evidence do you have?"

Another woman also said: "It's not that we don't believe in Uncle Zhongjing, that painter is extremely accomplished, and the guy said it was done by an outsider..."

Cao Bin waved his hand and smiled, "It's just a few paintings. If you don't believe me, I'll draw another one."

As she said that, she asked the servant girl to prepare the brushes and paints and paint them casually.

It only took two quarters of an hour, and a picture of Qiu Shuang's proud intentions was already vivid on the paper.

Cao Bin threw down the pen and laughed triumphantly: "Even Cao himself doesn't know that my painting is worth so much money. If King Duan likes it, he might as well buy this one too."

At this time, Zhao Ji was stunned, and he quickly lay down in front of the drawing paper to watch carefully.

murmured:

"The same, the realm is the same high, how can this be?"

"How did you have such high attainments in calligraphy and painting? I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."

At this moment, his artistic heart has been somewhat broken.

Although his painting skills have not reached the unprecedented level, but there are few in the world who can surpass him.

I didn't expect that the realm of calligraphy and painting that I was pursuing so hard was easily crushed by Cao Bin, an ignorant person, and I couldn't accept it for a while.

Zhao Fujin's hobby in painting followed her father's. At this time, she was stunned by the autumn frost picture Cao Bin drew casually.

I just felt that I was subverted by what I saw today, and Cao Bin looked down at him like a fairy standing in the sun.

She hurriedly pulled the woman beside her, and said in a panic, "He... isn't he a villain? How could it be him?"

The woman quickly comforted:

"The princess doesn't need to worry too much."

"This can only show that his painting skills are amazing, not that he is ignorant, and it has nothing to do with who he is."
