Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad
Chapter 145 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
"Trash! A bunch of trash!"
The emperor was furious. It had been so many days and so many people had been sent out, but he couldn't even find a pregnant woman. It was simply unbelievable!
"Tell me, what do I want you guys to do? That woman is pregnant, and we can't even find her shadow. Can she fly away from here?"
Cao An lowered his head fiercely, not daring to argue for himself. The emperor was angry now, and he had to let him vent his anger.
"Speak up! Aren't you good at talking? Tell me, when can we find the person?"
Upon hearing that he had changed his confession, he swore to die rather than obey.
Now, a group of people who came from nowhere, under the pretext of overturning the verdict of Wen Zhi, have destroyed the Dali Temple and almost smeared shit on the door!
People caught them one after another, but they kept popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. It was so annoying!
Every day when they went to court, those stupid officials would clamor to resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the people would be unstable, and they even said that it would threaten the country - did they really think he was scared? !
"Your Majesty, calm down. I have sent people to search every household. I believe we will get news soon."
Cao An had no choice. The emperor was pressing him too hard, so he could only resort to the most unhelpful method - check every household!
"Shengjing City is so big, you have to find a time to go there?!"
The emperor looked at Cao An as if he were a fool. Why didn't he think this servant was so stupid before?
Cao An smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, although this method of mine is a little stupid, it will definitely work."
He stepped forward carefully and explained, "Going door to door is just an excuse. As the emperor said, Shengjing City is so big, how can we check it all?"
The emperor raised his chin slightly, very dissatisfied, "Are you just trying to please me?"
Cao An was so frightened that he knelt down, his face full of fear: "Your Majesty, please understand. Even if I have ten thousand guts, I will not dare to be perfunctory to Your Majesty!"
He was just a small servant. Even if he was a favorite of the emperor, it was only a matter of a word from the emperor.
You may be famous today and unpopular tomorrow.
He is just a servant after all, I don’t think he would be so brave!
The emperor's expression eased slightly, and Cao An continued, "I'll have someone spread the news and pretend to check a few houses. The person hiding Madam Wen will definitely panic. When he panics, he will reveal his flaws, and then..."
By that time, wouldn't it be easy to capture the person?
The emperor snorted, but he was not as angry as before.
"Those old guys are pushing us too hard. Cao An, if you mess this up, you'll be beheaded!"
"Slave, you obey!"
Cao An crawled out of the imperial study. His godson had been waiting outside. When he saw him come out, he hurriedly handed him some tea that had already gone cold.
"Godfather, have some tea."
Cao An grabbed the cup and drank it all. He was too nervous just now, and his back was all sweaty. Now he touched it, and it was full of water!
"To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. Xiao Xianzi, you have to remember that the heads of people like us may be separated at any time. Don't think that if you stand higher, there will be no danger. That time is the most dangerous time for you."
Xiao Xianzi supported him and could still feel the wetness on his godfather's body:
"Godfather, are you like this too?"
Everyone said that the godfather was a favorite of the emperor. He was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, very impressive!
If he and his godfather were not from the same village, he would not even be qualified to meet him, let alone be adopted as his godson.
Such a powerful godfather is now like a fish that has been fished out of the water. It seems to be jumping around, but in fact, it is making its last struggle.
Cao An looked up at the sky for a long while before he spoke:
"Everyone in this palace is the same..."
Time was running out. This time, Cao An did not leave any room for maneuver and started from Shengjing City.
Find someone and make it so serious that the house is confiscated!
He searched not only the homes of common people, but also the nobles. If he couldn't find the person, he would die anyway, so he didn't care whether he would offend anyone or not, he just had to save his life first!
Cao An was completely desperate. When Shen Ruoyan got the news, there was a big commotion at the minister's house next door.
"Cao An, you bitch! Tomorrow I will report you. You even dare to trespass into the home of an imperial official. Do you still have the law and the emperor in your eyes?"
Big hats were put on him one after another, but there was no trace of panic on Cao An's face.
"Master Yu, I am only following orders. Your Excellency is so uncooperative. Could it be that you are really hiding an assassin in your house?"
Everything must have a legitimate reason. Since Cao An has intensified the search, he naturally has to give a reasonable reason to the emperor.
So now that this assassin is carrying confidential information, we must use all our strength to catch him!
Lord Yu stiffened his neck and refused to give in.
"Don't slander me here! What assassin? There is nothing in my house! I think you are just looking for revenge and deliberately picking a fight!"
Lord Yu was blocking the door, but the people brought by Cao An were not pushovers either. They held him on both sides, not hurting him but making him unable to move.
The guards of the Minister's family were also controlled by the elite soldiers brought by Cao An - the emperor was really determined and even let Cao An bring out the elite soldiers!
Cao An narrowed his eyes slightly. If Lord Yu hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.
In the palace, eunuchs like them were always looked down upon. Even important officials like Lord Yu looked down upon such androgynous people.
In fact, Lord Yu did not have any major grudge against him. He just spat at him and called him a eunuch and a dog in front of him. When they met on weekdays, he would just make sarcastic remarks to him.
Compared with other hardships he had experienced, these were really nothing, and Cao An really didn't take them to heart.
But if Mr. Yu insists on bringing it up, then naturally I cannot let him down.
"Everyone, search! Don't leave any corner unsearched. We must clear Master Yu of suspicion!"
Lord Yu's eyes almost popped out of his head, "How dare you, a mere eunuch?"
Cao An did not answer him, but used his actions to tell him whether he dared or not!
All the elite soldiers rushed in and turned the mansion upside down, even the cesspool was not spared!
When they came out, the people watching nearby covered their noses one after another - this Cao An was really a pervert, he actually sent people to clean out the manure pit!
What kind of assassin is that, he even didn't spare the cesspool?
The entire Minister's Mansion looked like it had been looted, with everything in a mess. Lord Yu was held up by someone the entire time, and he cursed until his mouth was dry, but Cao An didn't even give him a single look in response.
Chunxi and Qiuye also stood outside and joined the crowd watching the fun.
Cao An was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. With the example of the Minister's Mansion, who would dare to make trouble with him the next time he goes to another mansion?
