Liangshan's geographical location is too dangerous, if the cottage operated by Song Jiang and others is left behind, new bandits will soon occupy it.

A clean fire is to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

After returning to Jeju City, the army recuperated for several days before receiving an order from the imperial court ordering them to return to Beijing on another day.

"Uncle, Pang Yu and Cao Bin are right in front of the army..."

On the way back to Beijing, Li Zhichao, who was wrapped up like a mummy, followed Tong Guan closely, and said with some resentment.

Tong Guan coughed, glanced at Li Zhichao and said:

"Nephew, I think Uncle Cao may have his own reasons for beating you."

"Did you offend him somewhere?"

"A person like Uncle Cao who makes a decision before acting, I'm afraid he won't act casually."

Li Zhichao was stunned by his words, staring and said:

"Uncle, didn't you say earlier that you want them to apologize and admit their mistakes?"

Tong Guan waved his hand suddenly, lowered his head and said in thought: "Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of a question."

"What's the problem..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tong Guan urging his horse to Cao Bin's side:

"Uncle Cao, I still have a question that I don't want to understand, can I ask you?"

Li Zhichao was speechless when he saw this scene from behind, what the hell do you mean?

"Wait, you dead eunuch, this matter is endless..."

There was a severe drought in Shandong last year, and many bandits were born. It was almost the autumn harvest season, in order to deter scattered bandits.

The army returned to Beijing by land this time, attacking in all directions while marching.

All bandits of some scale were wiped out by the army.

About half a month later, they left the border of Shandong.

"An Lezi, there is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation..."

He had just stepped into Gyeonggi, and before Li Zhichao could be happy, he was taken away by people from Kaifeng Mansion.

Seeing this, Cao Bin couldn't help but be secretly proud, Kaifeng Mansion can have such a fast attendance efficiency, it must have his own credit...

Song Jiang and others were handed over to the court by Mu Guiying.

Cao Bin only needs to hand in the memorial to complete the mission.

Cao Bin's performance this time was unexpected, and the emperor directly raised his title by one level.

From the third-class Earl Zhongjing to the second-class Earl.

He was also given the military post of a guerrilla general.

He doesn't care too much about Wu Sanzhi, the upgrade of the title is the joyful thing.

Even the Yang family was sour with envy.

His title can be hereditary, and upgrading to a higher title means that the title can be passed down to one more generation.

Especially when they were used as a backdrop for the credit this time, the sour feeling was even stronger.

If it wasn't for their setback in the first battle, it took too much time for the court to pay more attention to Liangshan.

I am afraid that the court will not give such a generous reward just for exterminating a group of thieves.

Uncle Fu urged Cao Bin to open the ancestral hall again, asking Cao Bin to pay homage to his ancestors, and shouted for the protection of the old Hou Ye.

Then there was a big family banquet, which was lively all day.

In the morning of the next day, Cao Bin reckoned that Grand Master Pang had already gone to court, so he brought a gift to visit.

"Juncai, come, the old man introduces a distinguished guest to you."

When Cao Bin walked into Taishi's mansion, Pang Taishi was having a banquet.

It was a middle-aged man, wearing a red mang dragon robe, full of nobility, but his eyes were a bit dark.

Seeing Cao Bin's suspicious expression, Grand Master Pang said quickly:

"This is the prince of Xiangyang. This time he came to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. Come and salute."

"Fuck!"

Cao Bin cursed secretly, but he had no choice but to salute respectfully.

Although Cao Bin doesn't remember the Bao Gong case very clearly.

But I also know that this guy is a famous villain, and if there is a script of Bao Zheng, there must be Zhao Jue, King of Xiangyang.

Moreover, he is extremely tyrannical, his crimes are too numerous to list, and he thinks of rebelling and usurping the throne every day.

This fellow has never done a good deed, never succeeded in a conspiracy, is evil and unlucky, and whoever suffers from him is unlucky.

Grand Master Pang really got mixed up with him like in the original book, this is definitely not a good thing, maybe it will hurt himself.

"Boy from Zhongjing Hou Mansion? Excuse me!"

The King of Xiangyang didn't pay much attention to Cao Bin, and waved his hand directly.

After speaking, he turned to Grand Master Pang and continued:

"Teacher, what's my proposal? If you and I can get married, wouldn't it be a match made in heaven?"

With that, he added:

"My child is still young, we can make a private engagement and let them get married in the future."

Grand Master Pang didn't speak, but bowed his head and pondered.

Is this trying to poach my corner?

After Cao Bin saluted, he had already come to serve wine behind Grand Master Pang.

Hearing this, his hand holding the jug trembled unconsciously. It wasn't that he had a special liking for Pang Yanyan, and he would not marry unless she was the only one.

After all, she was just a teenage girl, and Cao Bin didn't have that much affection for her.

But it always feels bad to be poached.

What's more, Taishi Pang is his big backer. If there is no relationship between Weng and son-in-law, I don't know if enemies like Zhao Ji and Li Tang will take the opportunity to kill him.

But Cao Bin immediately realized that this was probably about Pang Yu's marriage.

Grand Master Pang only had two daughters and one son, and everyone knew about his marriage with Pang Yanyan. It was impossible for King Xiangyang to have such an idea and say it in front of his own face.

Then there is only Pang Yu.

Thinking of this, Cao Bin heaved a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous again.

He must never let Grand Master Pang unite with King Xiangyang, that would be tantamount to sending himself to death.

So, seeing Taishi Pang showing emotion, he quickly and quietly pulled La Pangji's lapel.

Grand Master Pang didn't look back, but he already understood what Cao Bin meant. Although he was puzzled, he cupped his hands and said:

"Forgive me, my lord. At this time, the old man still has to think about it."

King Xiangyang looked at Grand Master Pang, then looked up at Cao Bin, and said with a smile:

"Uncle Zhongjing, did you kill the priest in my mansion?"

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that what he was talking about was a flower picker, a butterfly, so he quickly waved his hands and said:

"My lord was joking, how dare I kill the priest in your mansion, it was Lord Bao who killed him."

"If you want to vent your anger, just go to him, I agree with it."

The King of Xiangyang said angrily: "You don't give me a sloppy eye here, don't you send the butterfly to Kaifeng mansion?"

Cao Bin suddenly realized with a smile and said:

"So the lord is talking about the flower picker? The lord can't blame me."

"He came to my house to commit crimes, how can I spare him?"

"I didn't beat him to death on the spot, I've already given the prince a lot of face."

At this time, a big monk standing by the door stood up and said angrily:

"Uncle Cao doesn't need to lie to the prince, we have already found out."

"Hua Die clearly seeks refuge with you in the name of 'Xiao Meng Chang'."

"I didn't expect that you didn't follow the rules at all, and took him to Kaifeng mansion with a flip of your hand."

"If you don't give us an explanation today, we will never end with you."

Cao Bin glanced at him contemptuously and said:

"Tell me about your Jianghu rules?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xiangyang King Zhao Jue and said:

"My lord, tell me, should our court officials talk about the laws of the Song Dynasty, or the rules of the world?"

The King of Xiangyang ignored Cao Bin, he looked at Grand Master Pang with a gloomy face and said:

"Teacher, your son-in-law doesn't take this king seriously."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Cao Bin with disdain, and waited quietly for Grand Master Pang's reply.

Grand Master Pang laughed, stroked his beard and said:

"My lord, the old man thinks what Juncai said is correct."

"It's just a person in the rivers and lakes. If you die, you will die. Why should the prince care?"

Hearing this, King Xiangyang choked immediately, his eyes bulged out of anger, looked at Cao Bin and said:

"Okay, what a loyal minister and good general."

Seeing this, Grand Master Pang quickly smoothed things over and said:

"Okay, Juncai, go and see Yanyan, don't upset the prince here."

The great monk roared angrily:

"My lord, I can't let him go, even if my apprentice breaks the king's law, he is still a member of the palace."

"Only the lord can deal with the people in the wangfu. If you let others go to hell, what face will the lord have to talk about?"

When Cao Bin saw that the great monk had a bad temper, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said disdainfully:

"If you have the ability, you go to trouble Bao Zheng, what's your ability to gossip in front of me?"

Then, he laughed mockingly again:

"Teacher, I found that there are no rules in Xiangyang Prince's Mansion. How dare a showman dare to point fingers in front of court ministers?"

"If there was such a person in my house, I would have stabbed him to death long ago."

The great monk was so angry that his face was covered with veins and his head was emitting green smoke. He jumped up and pointed at Cao Bin and shouted angrily:

"Uncle Zhongjing, don't humiliate others too much, show me what you have the ability to do."

"Let's see if you, the court general, are powerful, or I, the quack general, are tough."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled the iron ball around his neck, and was about to throw it at Cao Bin.

Cao Bin hurriedly hid behind Grand Master Pang, rolled up his arms and sleeves and said:

"You do it if you have the ability. If I'm afraid of you, I'll write Cao in reverse."

Grand Master Pang was so full of black lines that he slapped the table angrily: "Presumptuous! King Xiangyang, are all your subordinates so presumptuous?"

Hearing Taishi Pang's anger, servants and thugs of Taishi's mansion had already appeared and rushed to the living room.

Although Zhao Jue is a nobleman of the royal family, Grand Master Pang will not be afraid of him as the prime minister.

What's more, he is just a foreign vassal, and Grand Master Pang can make him unable to eat and walk around with a memorial.
