Cao Fu served in Rouyi Hall for a whole morning. When the imperial chef brought lunch, he took care of the palace people to try it and serve the dishes. After lunch, the emperor took a nap, and Cao Fu went to the back hall to have lunch by himself.

After a while, his godfather Wang Gui suddenly walked in alone. Cao Fu hurriedly put down his bowls and chopsticks and stepped forward to greet him and ask him for his well-being.

Wang Gui stretched out his hand from his sleeve, waved it gently, and the two little eunuchs in the corridor quickly retreated.

Cao Fu stepped forward and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Report to Godfather, Yin Qing's affairs are done."

Wang Gui nodded and said, "When he comes back and gets the money, you can leave some for yourself."

Cao Fu said, "Thank you godfather to reward you, but it's useless for my son to get the money." He hesitated for a moment and said, "My son always feels that the emperor can guess such things, and the emperor understands everything."

Wang Gui responded, "You are right, of course the emperor understands, but don't be afraid. We know some money, but some money cannot be taken, we know what it means."

Cao Fu asked, "My son is too talkative, what is the godfather doing with that money?"

Wang Gui glanced at him: "The most dangerous days have passed. When will I enjoy it now?"

Cao Fu didn't say anything, he didn't understand it very much. As a eunuch, he didn't have any birds, and he could enjoy it. What else can he enjoy? Cao Fu was not interested in women anyway, so he liked to eat the most, but the imperial chef didn't lack anything, so he was already very satisfied. The more he got fatter he got in the past few years, it was proof.

He did not agree with his godfather, and he really planned to persuade him. After thinking about it, he would just forget it. It was nothing if Yin Qing had collected money. After all, there were too many eunuchs who respected them. Cao Fu felt that the hottest thing was Huang Taiping's money back then.

Huang Taiping is the godson of Huang Yan, a traitor who was extremely guilty. A few years ago, this person was handed over by King Zhao and became a scapegoat. Later, after a person interrogated him, he found that Huang Taiping was a useless stick, so he threw it to Fengyang.

As a result, Wang Gui also took out Huang Taiping and sent it back to the Zhao Mansion to continue serving. Afterwards, Wang Gui took the initiative to tell the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor turned a blind eye to his friendship with many years of loyal service.

Cao Fu was silent for a while, and then whispered: "By the way, Meng Ji did not mention Wang Jinghong at all in front of the emperor today, but just talked about Liu Ming. He brought Queen Zhenla back and found his son first. The son looked at him. Although he was with Zheng He and his group of people in the past, he was not the same as Wang Jinghong now, and he wanted to get close to us."

Wang Gui immediately said: "Who do you care who he wants to get close to?"

Cao Fu was stunned for a moment: "Meng Ji went to the Sili Supervisor to serve as the Young Supervisor. He did several errands, which made the emperor very satisfied. Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian and those who were in charge of the navy were so popular that they were very popular."

Wang Gui frowned and looked at Cao Fu, without saying a word for a moment. Then he walked to the stool where Cao Fu had just been eating and sat down there. Cao Fu hurriedly bowed in front of him.

"Blessing, if you want some money, you can be more courageous. But power cannot be greedy. Power is a knife with blood." Wang Gui said earnestly, "Our family asks you, if you want to talk about your status and power in the palace, how is Wang Jinghong compared to Zheng He at the time?"

Cao Fu hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it's a lot worse."

Wang Gui said: "What's wrong with Zheng He?"

"Dead." Cao Fu replied honestly.

Wang Gui said: "It's gone in one sentence, it's not the emperor's words, it's just the emperor's words; so, how can Wang Jinghong be like? We have been with the emperor for many years. At that time, the emperor was still the prince of Gaoyang. Can Wang Jinghong be more reliable than us in front of the emperor?"

Cao Fu thought deeply and nodded.

Wang Gui's voice said again: "Don't make trouble. When the emperor ascended the throne, Huang Yan sent someone to join us, but we didn't care. If Wang Jinghong is sensible, he should understand our attitude and appreciate this affection. Everyone should serve the emperor with peace of mind. Life is better."

Cao Fu bent down and said, "My son must remember his godfather's teachings."

Wang Gui stood up and reached out to pat Cao Fu's shoulder twice, "We're back to Wuying Palace."

Cao Fu said: "Godfather, I will see you off, my son."

Wang Gui looked at the food on the table and said kindly: "Eat well. You know how to eat."

Cao Fu whispered: "Son, be careful to find a few women for his godfather."

Wang Gui smiled and said, "You don't need you. Our family only likes the Kiln Sister. He is a humble person who wants to make a living, but don't forget his surname. Otherwise, what would she want to do with our family? That would be a big trouble."

Cao Fu still insisted on sending his godfather out and then continued to do his own thing.

Today, because of the eunuch Yin Qing's incident, Cao Fu remembered the irrelevant Huang Taiping. Unexpectedly, a few days later, he really met Huang Taiping. Is this an example of what all his wishes come true?

Cao Fu heard the report from the eunuch guarding Xi'an Gate, saying that a eunuch named Huang Taiping asked to see him. Cao Fu rushed to Xi'an Gate and saw Huang Taiping. This man was mysterious and claimed that he wanted to speak with one step.

"Let's talk." Cao Fu led him into a bureau room of the Xi'an Access Guard, stepped back, and then asked Huang Taiping to talk about it.

Huang Taiping then took out a bamboo tube and said, "His Highness Zhao personally sent us to send something to Beijing and asked our family to send Eunuch Wang or Eunuch Cao. The eunuchs from Xi'anmen said that Eunuch Wang was busy, so our family asked someone to inform Eunuch Cao."

Cao Fu took the bamboo tube, "What is inside?"

"I don't know, the opening is closed, our family didn't see it." Huang Taiping said.

Cao Fu flipped the things up and down, and saw that the bamboo tube was wrapped in paper. There was indeed a seal on the opening and a painted seal was covered. Because Huang Taiping said it was for Cao Fu, Cao Fu tore the seal straight and took out the things inside to see.

While looking at the words on the paper, Cao Fu also looked up at Huang Taiping. Huang Taiping said flatteringly: "Thanks to Eunuch Wang last time, I wonder if my little filial piety is enough?"

Cao Fu nodded, put away the paper, walked to the door and shouted, "Come on!"

Huang Taiping stood there with a confused look on his face.

Soon several soldiers came running. Cao Fu immediately pointed at Huang Taiping and said, "Take it down."

Huang Taiping said with a sad face: "What's wrong? What's wrong!" But the soldiers had no choice but to press him to the ground immediately.

Cao Fu said again: "I'm tied up and sent it to the imperial prison in Hongwu Gate and lock it up first."

Huang Taiping hurriedly said, "Eunuch Cao, you can't hurt your own people by chance. What's wrong with our family?"

Cao Fu said with a strange expression: "You have been sold by someone, and you are still paying attention to helping people count the money." He paused and stretched out two fingers to gesture, "And it was twice. Don't worry, there is still room for trouble."

Huang Taiping looked thoughtful, and when he heard the last sentence, he hurriedly said, "Eunuch Cao, we still have some things in our house."

Cao Fu said: "I understand."

The soldiers found a rope and tied Huang Taiping up to the palace. Cao Fu stopped inquiring, took the bamboo tube and hurriedly walked into the palace.

As usual, after the Emperor listened to the government, he came to Rouyi Hall nearby. Cao Fu walked into Xihua Gate quickly, crossed the stone bridge on the Yu River, passed the Wuying Hall and walked northward, and soon arrived at Rouyi Hall.

But seeing Zhu Gaoxu being inside with Qi Tai, the Minister of War, Cao Fu stretched out his head and looked at the door, and waited outside the door. After a while, Zhu Gaoxu called him in his voice, and he hurried in.

Cao Fu put the bamboo tube on the big table, bowed his head to Zhu Gaoxu's ear and said, "It was sent by Huang Taiping."

"Huang Taiping?" Zhu Gaoxu looked thoughtful.

Cao Fu whispered: "Huang Yan's godson, later he returned to the Zhao Palace."

"Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, poured out all the paper in the bamboo tube, and took it to see it.

Cao Fu had read the content before. One was a letter from King Zhao, and the other was Huang Yan's handwriting. The original secret letter sent back from the Tatar tribe. Cao Fu only read the letter from King Zhao.

In the letter, King Zhao said that the first time the messenger of Urianha (the flower boy) came, and wanted to take out Huang Yan's property in the money house. The chief secretary Gu Sheng had reported to Guo Ang, an official of the Northern Department of the Ministry of Defense; at that time the eunuch responsible for receiving the messenger of Urianha was Huang Taiping.

Recently, the people of Wurianha came to Zhangde Mansion again. Huang Taiping went to receive it first, but agreed to help others without authorization, and received a secret letter from Wurianha, one hundred taels of gold. King Zhao was outside the palace at that time. When he came back, he did not dare to act rashly. He was afraid that he would ruin the affairs of the Guardian Department, so he ordered Huang Taiping to bring the secret letter to Beijing to apologize. He asked the court to arrest the castration immediately and torture him.

After reading it, Zhu Gaoxu handed the letter to Cao Fu and said, "Let Qibutang take a look."

"Yes." Cao Fu bowed and took it.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Then Huang Taiping is really a bad guy. It's not wrong to not kill him at the beginning."

Cao Fu gave the letter to Qi Tai, then turned around, bent down and smiled, "The emperor said, "I came to my door to ask for arrest. When I saw this letter at Xi'anmen, I almost laughed out loud. King Zhao really knows how to have fun."

"My third brother is not trying to have fun." Zhu Gaoxu said, "He may be very angry."

Cao Fu didn't understand it very much for a moment, so he said, "Since King Zhao is loyal to the emperor, he just needs to send the secret letter from the Tatars to the capital."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "How did the court know the authenticity of the secret letter?"

Cao Fu was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't I expect it? Huang Yan might have written two true and false letters?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded gently: "It is just an objective inference. This is possible. Although Gao Sui cannot lead troops to fight, he is not a stupid person." After he said that, he continued to read the secret letter written by Huang Yan from the Tatar tribe.

After a while, Cao Fu, according to Zhu Gaoxu's intention, also gave Huang Yan's secret letter to Qi Tai.

After seeing this, Qi Tai immediately said, "What is the expression of Eunuch Cao when he sees Huang Taiping? What is the case when he wants to arrest him?"

Cao Fu then said in detail about Huang Taiping's appearance.

Qi Tai asked, "Are you sure he didn't pretend on purpose?"

Cao Fu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not pretending. We have known him for many years. This person has always been a smart person. How can he pretend to be so similar?"

Qi Tai bowed to the superiors and said, "Master, please release Huang Taiping immediately and let him return to Zhangde Mansion to report."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said, "So follow the Qi tribe's plan, Cao Fu, go and pass the order."
