"Mr. Cao!" A middle-aged warrior with a pale face broke into the backyard from outside, causing several people in the room to panic.
"What happened?" Cao Jie, who had always been calm when he saw this person coming back, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"I have inquired clearly. Yang Qiu sent out an official document yesterday afternoon, asking Zhang Feng to return to the case for questioning." The warrior quickly replied. "It is said that Zhang Changshi went there early this morning and kowtowed on the spot, willing to submit to the request because of his old age.
He resigned as a regular servant, and then promised that until the next natural disaster, his brother Zhang Hao would also plead guilty and resign from the post of Taiwei. The two brothers left Luo alone, just hoping to return home..."
"What about Yang Qiu?" Cao Jie's younger brother, Cao Poshi, who also had gray hair but had a beard, couldn't help asking. "Did you agree?"
"Yang Qiu refused at first, saying that the eunuch could not leave Luoyang... However, Zhang Changshi repeatedly begged and said that he would only let his brother return to his hometown in Changshan by then. He himself found a place to live in Wancheng, and Yang Qiu agreed.
!”
Cao Jie said nothing, but Cao Poshi breathed a sigh of relief.
"One more thing." The warrior swallowed before continuing. "Chen Jiu of the Zhonghuang Sect died yesterday evening!"
Cao Jie was suddenly startled: "How did you die?"
"He was shot to death by Gongsun Xun's random arrows." The warrior's face became paler. "According to Yang Qiu's order from the palace, Chen Jiu was also involved in the case, so the Sili Xiaowei Mansion also targeted him.
An official document was issued, asking Gongsun Xun, the official of Zhongdu, to summon him. I heard that Chen Huangmen was so frightened at that time that he cried and told his guests at home that if he left with him, he would definitely end up like Wang Fu.
Then he asked the guests at home to greet him under false pretenses, and he got out of the dog hole and prepared to escape back to the North Palace..."
"What then?" Behind Cao Jie, a young scribe with a Jianghan accent, a delicate face and a strong beard suddenly asked.
"Then when Gongsun Xun saw that he could not wait for anyone, he guessed that the other party had escaped, so he immediately pursued him with Yi Cong, and caught up with him on the street outside the east wall of Beigong! I heard that Chen Huangmen knelt down to beg for mercy at that time
, but Gongsun Xun pretended not to hear, and directly ordered the random arrows to be shot to death in the name of hunting down the fugitive, and then tied the body behind a horse in the street and dragged it to the Sili Xiaowei Mansion... It is said that the blood stains on the street have not been stained yet.
cover."
This time it was Cao Jie's turn to swallow... and when the middle-aged warrior saw this, he quickly retreated knowingly.
"It was all your idea, Luo Zixian!" The room was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly, Cao Jie's younger brother, Cao Poshi, angrily pushed the young bearded scribe. "My eldest brother must calm him down.
!In this situation, Yang Qiu and Gongsun Xun are obviously jealous. If they really come to 'hunt down fugitives' and then rain down random arrows, wouldn't my eldest brother lose his life in vain?!"
This bearded scribe was naturally Luo Muluo Zixian, who had contacts with Lu Fan. He was helpless at once: "I really lost my mind about this matter. I really didn't expect him to be so cruel and straightforward..."
"It's not Zixian's problem." Cao Jie managed to calm down and quickly stopped. "I approved of Zixian's idea back then, but I didn't expect these two princes to be so cruel... The enemy is here
Now, we ourselves must not cause chaos among ourselves."
Luo Mu immediately leaned down to obey the order, while Cao Poshi had an angry look on his face, and his mouth was full of filth, but he finally calmed down due to the power of his eldest brother.
"Sir." After Cao Poshi calmed down, Luo Mu immediately added. "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall. Now that the situation has exceeded expectations, there is no need for you to stay outside and calm down at home.
We still need to find a way to enter the palace quickly! At this time, only Beigong in Luozhong is safe!"
"What Zixian said is true." Cao Jie nodded repeatedly. "Even the method we agreed on last night will eventually be launched in the palace..."
"What method?" Cao Poshi couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
Of course, there was no point in asking. The Yueqi captain only received a blank look from his elder brother and silence from that Luo Mu.
In fact, it's no wonder that his elder brothers looked down on him. Cao Poshi himself was a particularly low-end person... You know, although the Cao family was from a family with a family worth of two thousand stones in Wei County for generations, by the time he was born, his family
Tao has been completely defeated, and everything is gone. Not only did his brother enter the palace and become a eunuch, he simply had a two-character name after he was born, which shows how powerful the family has become.
Therefore, although with Cao Jie's sudden success, he also jumped to two thousand stones, the rogue atmosphere in the countryside in the past can never be changed!
Until last year, when he was in his fifties or sixties, he worked as a Yueqi captain with two thousand stones to help his brother take control of the military. What happened? As soon as he arrived at the military camp, he heard someone said that he had a five hundred leader (that is, Sima Qianshi).
), the wife at home was beautiful, but she ignored the demands for face, and finally forced the wife to commit suicide... Fortunately, there was no one named Gao Shun in the Yueqi camp, otherwise he would probably die too!
In fact, this kind of low-end disgusting things were not uncommon in the Han Dynasty, which advocated utilitarianism, especially among the middle and lower levels of the military... However, it is really shameful to do this after reaching a high position.
In history, people who got up from the bottom, such as Lu Bu and Han Shizhong, all had similar problems. Xiahou Dun once drank too much and asked his subordinate's wife to come out to drink with him, so that he was generally ridiculed.
Of course, there may also be the problem of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked. No one cares about Lu Bu. Cao Mengde might feel that his buddy has a real temperament and is similar to himself, so he is very happy! But Zhao Gou and Qin Hui are probably very happy.
Han Shizhong keeps doing this!
So back to the present, although Cao Poshi is Cao Jie's younger brother, he has no way to intervene in such an important matter. On the contrary, Luo Mu, who is unwilling to change his surname and only wants to be called "sir", is even more important.
Cao Jie is trustworthy.
So, in desperation, Cao Poshi simply got up and left the room, sitting in the front yard. However, before he could settle down in the front yard, he suddenly heard a noise in front of the door, and then saw the guests at the concierge.
, they all ran towards the courtyard in a swarm...
"Why are you running around?!" Cao Poshi was furious. "Don't you know I am here?"
"Second Master!" The title in the eunuch's palace is always full of masculinity. The leader of the guests immediately bowed down in panic. "Trouble is coming. Gongsun Xun led his white horse cavalry and soldiers over here!"
When Cao Poshi heard this, he was so frightened that he froze on the spot... After a few tens of seconds, he hurriedly ran towards the backyard regardless of his age or identity.
"Brother, it's too late to run. Hide quickly!" Cao Poshi ran to the backyard out of breath. After a little talk, he immediately advised. "Don't force it at this time..."
Cao Jie's face was also pale... no matter how cunning he was, no matter how well-informed he was, no matter how he actually had a strategy in his mind, but the so-called boxing is afraid of the young, if this opponent really rushes in regardless, then there will be chaos
If you kill him with an arrow, then all your plans are meaningless?!
Therefore, as soon as he thought of this, Cao Jie immediately went to his hut to take shelter... He had dug a cellar there early.
However, at this moment, Luo Mu suddenly reached out and grabbed his benefactor: "Sir, don't panic!"
"What's the point of Zixian? Tell me quickly!" Cao Jie urged nervously.
"I once lived in Gongsun Xun's charity house for a period of time, and I also thought carefully about this person's behavior... Looking at this person's behavior, although he often seeks profit and forgets himself, he is still orderly after all.
!" Luo Mu replied quickly, shaking the beard under his chin. "He participated in this matter just to seek fame, and now that Wang Fu is dead, for him, he has actually gained something. In this case
, why would he risk his life just for the icing on the cake? Sir, you are not involved in Wang Fu's case, and killing two thousand stones without any intention is not worth it to him!"
Cao Poshi was immediately furious: "My eldest brother has been in charge of the government for more than ten years and helped the emperor succeed to the throne. How can such a precious life not be worth the gamble of that prince? You just said that the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace...
"
"Shut up." Cao Jie thought for a moment and suddenly sat down again. "Zixian is right, we don't need to panic. This Zhuzi is definitely here to cause trouble for that old boy Yuan She across the street. Let's sit down for now!"
Cao Poshi had no choice but to suppress his uneasiness and sit down.
Soon, the guests in the front yard reported back that the other party had indeed gone to Yuan She's mansion, and the Cao brothers were completely relieved.
However, Luo Mu still bowed his head and remained silent.
"What is Zixian thinking about?" Cao Jie couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"Sir!" Luo Mu suddenly bowed and paid homage. "Sir, please be prepared. As I expected, Gongsun Xun will definitely come to the house to look for you later..."
Cao Jie was immediately stunned: "How do you say this?"
Cao Poshi also immediately became angry: "What's going on with you, you made so many turns in a short time? You have to stay at home, and you have to go to Beigong, and you say you are not here to see us, and you say you are here.
Looking for us..."
"Sir." Luo Mu ignored Cao Paishi and spoke seriously to Cao Jie. "After Wang Fu was cut into pieces and displayed in public, all the senior ministers in Luozhong and Huangmen became frightened.
It was clear that his younger brother, who was a Taiwei, was a foreign aid and he didn't even think about resisting. He only wanted to protect his whole body, and Yuan She and Yuan Changshi clearly had the Yuan family's escape route, so how could they resist without reason? But if this was the case, this Gongsun Xun leader
With the cavalry, why are the soldiers here?"
"He's here to scare me!" Cao Jie suddenly said. "He's also here to test me... I've been sitting quietly at home, so he must have doubts!"
"That's right!" Luo Mu nodded quickly. "So, he will definitely come to visit in person later..."
"Then shall I see you or not?" Cao Jie asked seriously. "If I don't see you, who will deal with it? If I do, what attitude should I use?!"
Luo Mu replied without hesitation: "I want to see him! Even if I can only reassure him for a moment, I still want to see him! As for his attitude, your Excellency was not involved in the case at all. He just resigned as the Great Changqiu, but he is still sealed.
The two thousand stone servants who are waiting for you will always serve you, so your attitude should be your attitude!"
"You're right! That's right..." Cao Jie nodded slightly and was about to continue speaking when he heard a sudden commotion in the front yard and immediately changed his words with a sneer. "This is really quick!"
Luo Mu immediately apologized and smiled.
"Then you guys go to see him and I go hide for a while?" Cao Poshi suddenly spoke again.
