After waiting for a cup of tea, an old man with white beard and hair came in. The old man was wearing a jade crown and a flowered robe. He looked like a person who had been in a high position for a long time.

Ximen Qing didn't dare to neglect, and quickly stood up to salute.

The old man didn't move, but a boy next to him put a gray cloth package in front of Ximen Qing.

"Open it and have a look." The old man said.

Ximen Qing couldn't figure out what the old man meant, but the form was better than people, so he opened the package according to the words.

As soon as he opened half of it, some bright yellow fabric was exposed inside. Ximen Qing's heart sank. This yellow is the color used by the royal family... After opening the other half, the nine dragon patterns on the fabric were revealed, and Ximen Qing couldn't help but retreat took two steps.

If he read it correctly, this is the dragon robe worn by the emperor. If someone finds out that it is hidden, it will be a major crime of plotting rebellion and destroying the family.

Ximenqing's heart was so cold, could it be that he had just stepped out of the wolf's mouth and entered the tiger's den again?The old man showed him the dragon robe, and he didn't believe that the other party had no intentions.

But the more it was like this, the less he could panic, so he stood aside with his head bowed, neither asking nor moving, waiting for the old man to tell him.

Now, the old man was a little bit interested. He looked Ximen Qing up and down a few times, and then said leisurely: "My surname is Cai Mingjing." After finishing speaking, he looked at Ximen Qing, hoping to see it from his face. come up with something.

It's a pity that he was destined to be disappointed, Ximen Qing's face was calm as if he had long been Cai Jing, the current prime minister who was under one man and above ten thousand people.

The expression of appreciation on his face was stronger, but what he said was not very friendly, "This package was found from your carriage, which is a serious crime against the Jiuzu." After finishing speaking, he stopped talking.

Ximen Qing's heart became more and more peaceful. It was easier for the person in front of him to kill him than to crush an ant. Now that he is still standing here, it means that there is no danger for the time being, so why should he mess himself up.

A look of anger flashed across Cai Jing's face. Obviously, Ximen Qing didn't kneel down and beg for mercy as he imagined, and then he showed him a clear way, which made him a little dissatisfied, but fortunately, he still had such a little tolerance.

"I know that you have a good relationship with the son of Gao Qiu's family, and even let him steal all the golden dragon tokens that the emperor bestowed on Gao Qiu." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ximen Qing, then pointed at the dragon on the table. Pao said, "I also know that this kind of thing is something that you, a small person, can have.

However, if it is in your hands, if someone finds out, it will definitely kill your family. Why don't you just send it to where it should go, how about it? "

Not how!Only now did Ximenqing know Cai Jing's plan. It turned out that he wanted him to pass through Gaokan and put the dragon robe into Gao's mansion, and use his hands to frame Gao Qiu.

This matter is not easy to do, but with Gao Kan's trust in him, it is not impossible.However, after being framed, he, as the only insider, was silenced.

But if he doesn't do it, then this dragon robe is his, and he will be hacked into pieces if he is with his father!

Neither advancing nor retreating, Ximen Qing was in a dilemma.

"Huh?" Cai Jing murmured.

"What the Prime Minister said is very true, I will do it now." Ximen Qing said hurriedly.

Only then did Cai Jing show a satisfied smile, as if an ordinary elder cared for the younger generation and said: "It's too late today, why don't you just rest here for a night and go tomorrow."

"Yes, that's what you said." Ximen Qing was as docile as a sheep.

Only then did Cai Jing wave his hand, signaling for someone to take Ximen Qing to rest. After Ximen Qing left, he picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.

"My lord, do you think he can do it?" asked a person who looked like an aide next to him.

"So what if it succeeds, so what if it doesn't succeed!" Cai Jing mused.

The staff choked, but soon, he changed the subject, "Fortunately, you are wise and sent someone to watch him early in the morning when you found out that this person had an abnormal relationship with Gao Kan, otherwise, you might have told him to run away.

However, he was also surprised that he was able to take a high road, but he didn't want to be an official in the capital, and he had to run outside.If he..." The staff member suddenly stopped talking at this point, because he noticed that Cai Jing's face became gloomy again.

Quickly changing the subject, he said again: "Don't worry, this Hong Qian has been trained, he knows what to do to be worthy of your great kindness."

That Hong Qian was the one who took Ximen Qing away just now.

After Cai Jing heard this, he had a hint of satisfaction on his face.

At this time, Ximen Qing was worryingly looking at the person opposite him who was keeping up with him every step of the way. Even if it was surveillance, this person didn't need to be so closely monitored, so he had no chance at all.And don't let him do this, don't let him do that, if so, it's better to tie him up with a rope.

Of course, Ximen Qing thought about it that way, and he didn't dare to say it, otherwise, seeing that man's vicious look, maybe he would really be tied up, and he would still be the one to suffer.

Staring at the ground bitterly for a while, he lay on the bed thinking about tomorrow, how to save himself.

After thinking for a long time, there was no available solution, Ximen Qing only felt a severe headache, and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

The next day, outside the gate of Gao Mansion, Ximen Qing reluctantly asked the gatekeeper to report to Gao Kan, and then he stood uneasy holding the package wrapped in the dragon robe.

After standing for a while, before Gao Kan came out, he wanted to move. At this moment, he felt a sharp object on his waist.

"Don't play tricks." Hong Qian said in a low voice, and after finishing speaking, he passed the dagger in his hand forward again, the meaning of the threat was self-evident.

Ximen Qing frowned, but he didn't move.

After waiting for a while, Gao Kan finally came out with an unhappy expression on his face, as if something had offended him.

Ximen Qing hurried forward, grabbed Gao Kan's hand, and said warmly: "Good brother, you are here. I thought about it all night yesterday, and finally figured out something, so I came to talk to you early in the morning explain."

As he spoke, he stroked the back of Gao Kan's hand with his thumb and middle finger, squeezing into his palm without any trace.According to Ximen Qing's plan, he wrote a word on the palm of Gao Kan's hand with his fingers, and Gao Kan understood his current situation.

Ten fingers connected to heart, Gao Kan's fingers were grasped by Ximen Qing in his hand and groping, he felt itchy in his heart, and felt that Ximen Qing would continue, his breathing was stagnant, and he almost grabbed Ximen Qing's hand with his backhand, He rubs it into himself.

Afraid that he would really offend Ximen Qing by doing such a thing, Gao Kan withdrew his hand, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Yesterday my father didn't have any guests at all, so how did my brother say he wanted to wait for me? I rushed back in such a hurry.

My brother lied to me like this, did he want to stay with the national teacher instead of me. Gao Kan withdrew his hand and glared at Ximen Qing angrily.

Ximen Qing failed, and his thoughts changed sharply. He pretended to be angry and said, "I don't care who I stay with."

"You..." Gao Kan's eyes widened angrily, and he habitually reached out to hit someone, but the opposite was Ximen Qing, his hand was raised into a fist and retracted, then turned around and entered without looking back. Gao Fu.

"You don't want to live anymore!" Hong Qian handed the dagger forward again, Ximen Qing suddenly felt pain in the waist and eyes, and after a while, a sticky thing flowed down the skin.

bleeding!Ximen Qing knew that the dagger had stabbed him, but he didn't regret it at all. If he really wanted to give this thing to Gao Kan, his time of death would come. Now, he can buy some time.

"You have also seen that Gao Yanei is in a bad mood, and there is nothing I can do. Otherwise, how about we come again after waiting for two days when his anger subsides?" Ximen Qing explained pretending to be panicked.

"Hmph!" Hong Qian snorted coldly, "Don't think that I dare not kill you, the prime minister doesn't take you seriously at all, you are just a dispensable pawn."

"Yes, yes, I know, I will definitely tell Gao Yanei well next time and give him the things." Ximen Qing responded in fear.

"Go, follow me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Hong Qian urged Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing walked back with lowered eyebrows, looking like he was afraid of being in a hurry.

After leaving this avenue, they came to a bustling avenue full of pedestrians and extremely lively.Hong Qian was afraid that Ximen Qing would escape, so he clung to Ximen Qing, fearing that something would happen to him.

Ximen Qing looked at the crowd, thinking about how to get out.Suddenly, he saw a few strong men walking towards him. The leading strong man walked with half-naked shoulders and full beards.

It was him, Ximen Qing's eyes lit up, and he walked towards the strong man.

The strong man was approaching, he pretended to be tripped by someone and rushed towards the strong man, his hands were still struggling to fumble, and after touching what he wanted, he stabilized his figure, Apologetically, he said to the strong man, "I'm sorry, my foot slipped just now."

Before the strong man could speak, the younger brother next to him became angry first, "You bumped into my elder brother, and it's over with one sentence?"

Hong Qian was afraid that Ximen Qing would cheat, so he immediately took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the man, "My officials invite everyone to drink tea." After finishing speaking, he gave Ximen Qing a hard look. The threat in the eyes is full of meaning.

The person on the opposite side took the money and quickly handed it to the head of the strong man. The strong man weighed the money and said: "You are smart. I am in a good mood today and won the money. Otherwise, hum, I want you to look good."

"Yes, yes." Hong Qian agreed, pushing Ximen Qing with his hand, signaling Ximen Qing to leave quickly.

Ximen Qing looked at the strong man meaningfully, then patted Hong Qian on the shoulder, and praised: "Good, good."

Hong Qian was a little puzzled by Ximen Qing's compliment, but he had an intuition that there must be something wrong with it, so he dragged Ximen Qing away.

When they were less than five meters away, the burly man's angry voice suddenly came from behind, "Grab him, grab the man who hit me, he stole my silver."
