Chapter 491 Persuading Cao Zeng
In the front hall, the maids served tea and cakes and left quickly.
Cao Zeng kept staring at Zhu Mingqing with a questioning look, without any sign of being obsessed with her beauty.
Zhu Mingqing was not disgusted and continued to chat with Magistrate Wang about the current situation of Guancheng.
The success of the people's land reclamation, the situation in the fields, and the good business everywhere all prove that the lives of the people in Guancheng are getting better and better.
Magistrate Wang responded quickly, but inadvertently looked away, then turned back and asked the man with his eyes what to do.
Zhu Mingqing's smile remained unchanged, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Cao Zengze, who was standing aside, was in a very uneasy mood.
It turns out that the relationship between Lord Wang and the Luo family is quite good.
In this case, would he really send someone to deliver a message to Prince Huai?
Even if Prince Huai sent someone, would Lord Wang really do nothing and willingly let the Luo family leave?
This is also what Cao Zeng is confused about.
You clearly have a bright future, so why would you befriend the Luo family, who have already been disliked by His Majesty?
Cao Zeng is a straightforward person. He always relies on his own strength to do things and doesn't bother to pay attention to those conspiracies and tricks.
He asked directly, "Lord Wang, who did you send to the capital to deliver the message? Why is there still no news?"
Magistrate Wang, who was talking to Zhu Mingqing, looked distraught.
Then he smiled and said, "General Cao, why are you so anxious? The customs and habits of Guancheng are different from those of the capital. Why not..."
"So, you have never sent anyone to the provincial capital!" Cao Zeng said seriously.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Lord Wang knew he could no longer hide the truth. Just as he was about to speak, Madam Zhu beside him poured him a glass of wine, stood up and walked over to Cao Zeng.
"This is the latest fine wine I've developed. I've heard General Cao has tasted countless fine wines. Could you please give it a try and give me some advice?"
Cao Zeng's eyes moved upwards and landed on the silver silk cup in her hand, but he quickly turned his gaze away.
"Lord Wang..."
Before he could finish his words, a strong aroma of wine instantly wafted into his nose.
Floating in the air.
Zhu Mingqing placed the wine quilt next to him. The aroma of the wine was so overbearing that anyone who smelled it would never forget it.
In an instant, Cao Zeng felt a surge of inner pressure.
While asking Lord Wang what his intention was, he focused his attention on the clear wine in the glass.
As for whether Magistrate Wang answered or what he replied, Cao Zeng could no longer hear it at this time, and his IQ was a little off.
Zhu Mingqing curled up the corners of his mouth slowly. Just as Lao Luo said, this person couldn't walk when he saw the rare and precious wine.
Of course Cao Zeng thought about overcoming such an obvious weakness.
When there was no war, he ordered people to collect all the rare and precious wines in the world, and he drank them in his study for a whole day.
I finally slept for three days and three nights.
Finally, I had a little resistance.
But now, what Zhu Mingqing brought was white wine with a purity of up to 60%.
It has never appeared on the market.
For wine lovers, it is like a rabbit hanging by a carrot. They want to take a step forward, but are afraid it is a trap.
But if I can't touch her, I'll feel an itch in my heart.
"Mrs. Zhu, did you really develop this wine?"
He finally couldn't help asking.
Zhu Mingqing: "Of course it is true. General Cao, won't you try it?"
As time goes by, the aroma of the wine not only does not dissipate, but becomes more intense, making people intoxicated.
Cao Zeng shook his head, feeling that he couldn't stay any longer, and stood up to leave.
Prefect Wang quickly stood up and said, "General Cao, please don't go. I haven't even had the chance to taste Madam Zhu's jar of wine. I heard a jar is worth platinum. If you miss it today, I don't know when I'll be able to taste it again."
Cao Zeng paused, turned around and said, "Then please, Lord Cao, send me to the courtyard."
After saying this, he fled in panic.
Seeing this, Prefect Wang shook his head and said, "I am not wrong, General Cao is a man of integrity. He will not surrender under simple inducements."
Zhu Mingqing's lips curled up instead, and he became even more expectant.
"Send this jar of wine over and explain our situation to him directly."
Magistrate Wang exclaimed, "Ah!" "Do you really want to explain it clearly?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded: "Of course, instead of pretending to understand while being confused, it's better to force him!"
Prefect Wang was in a dilemma: "But if Cao Zeng shouts about it everywhere and everyone knows about it, we will be in a passive position."
Zhu Mingqing shook his head: "He won't. This time he came to Guancheng to treat his mother's illness. I have sent people to find his mother's whereabouts in the capital city, and bring her over."
Magistrate Wang was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly realized, "How did he know Divine Doctor Hua was here?"
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Magistrate Wang suddenly realized.
Yes, it must be another secret plan by the Luo family.
After Zhu Mingqing left, Prefect Wang personally went to Cao Zeng's yard with some white wine.
As soon as he put down the wine jar, he was driven away by Cao Zeng.
Magistrate Wang was helpless, but there was no need to be so anxious.
"Master Cao, when you met Madam Zhu today, do you have anything you want to ask?"
Cao Zeng paused in his attempt to drive the man away, and glanced at him with a sullen gaze: "Lord Wang, are you willing to speak?"
Magistrate Wang smiled and nodded: "Why don't we go in and have a good chat?"
Cao Zeng shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to know."
Prefect Wang was startled. Seeing the door about to close, he quickly stopped it and said, "Wait, let's talk it over. Even if the general doesn't want to listen, I want to say it too."
Without giving the other party time to react, he leaned over and whispered quickly in his ear: "General Cao's ability is obvious to all, but the world is dangerous nowadays. We must be on guard against others and always leave a way out for ourselves!"
Cao Zeng's expression changed drastically, and he said in a loud voice, "Lord Wang!"
Magistrate Wang knew that Wang didn't like to hear this, but he had to continue saying it even though he didn't like it.
As the saying goes, the world will eventually split after being together for a long time.
Nanxia is now at this critical juncture, and he really can't bear to let a famous general die.
But Cao Zeng didn't hear anything at all. He said coldly, "I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today. Lord Wang, please be careful with your words and actions in the future! By the way, I don't think it's necessary to stop studying!"
Things have come to this point, and it is no longer possible for him to persuade them.
But I didn't expect that the Luo family's ambitions were so big, it was so obvious.
Magistrate Wang was not annoyed. After all, it was not easy to persuade people to betray the court they were loyal to.
Anyway, the Luo family is not in a hurry, so he is even less anxious.
"General Cao..." Prefect Wang had just opened his mouth when Cao Zeng scolded him: "Are you done yet? I've already said I don't agree, so why are you acting like a scabby dog and refusing to leave?"
This was a serious statement. Magistrate Wang paused and said, "I want to say that Divine Doctor Hua is in Guancheng now. General Cao can contact him anytime if he needs you."
Cao Zeng was shocked, and felt very bad after he realized what was happening.
The news that he brought his mother to Guancheng was kept secret.
But Magistrate Wang knew about it, and also knew that he was looking for Doctor Hua.
