Chapter 0428 Obfuscation (sorry, a little trouble to deal with tonight
Cao Li became even more anxious when he saw this.
He thought that Kou Ji was fishing and scheming with him to get more of Liu E's secrets, but he didn't expect it.
Kou Ji really doesn't care about Liu E's secret.
"etc!"
Cao Li hurriedly called out to Kou Ji to stop him.
Kou Ji turned a deaf ear and continued walking forward.
When passing by the two soldiers who were guarding Cao Liang, he said lightly to the Jingqi who was capturing them.
"Choke them to death..."
Kill and silence!
Just pretend it never happened.
Cao Li's eyes turned red when he saw such a familiar scene.
In the past, he silenced those who killed others, but now it is the turn of others to kill him.
"Woof woof woof..."
Cao Li's eyes were red and he stretched his neck, shouting loudly.
Kou Ji finally stopped, turned around, and looked at Cao Lili in astonishment.
He didn't expect that a Privy Councilor could be so humble when he really wanted to lower his arrogance.
A moment.
Kou Ji felt that the records in the history books might be biased.
How could it be natural for a person to humble himself to such an extent in order to save others and take revenge?
So the history books record that when Cao Lili was sent to Fangzhou, he was forced to commit suicide by Yang Huaimin, which is full of water.
Cao Lili probably did not commit suicide.
It is very likely that Yang Huaimin sent someone to kill Cao Lili after repeatedly forcing him to do so, and then pretended to commit suicide.
With Liu E's methods, it would not be difficult to turn this matter into suicide.
Kou Ji returned to Cao Li's side and sighed: "You only need to say that you agree. There is no need to be so humble."
Cao Li in the prison car stared at Kou Ji and said harshly: "Let them go!"
Kou Ji waved his hand.
The Jingqi, who was holding the two soldiers who were guarding Cao Cao, let go.
After the two soldiers guarding Cao Liang stood up, they quickly hid aside, squatted down, and covered their heads, as if they had not seen or heard anything.
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "It can be seen that they are not your cronies."
The gleam in Cao Li's eyes slowly faded, and he said sadly: "They are not my cronies... they just used to work under my tent for a few days..."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
He dared to risk his life to save Cao Liang after only listening to it under the grass tent for a few days. It seems that Cao Liang's personality is not low.
Cao Lili didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking, and he had no intention of guessing what Kou Ji was thinking. After showing the most humble posture in front of Kou Ji, he became a lot more bachelor.
Cao Li stared at Kou Ji and said calmly: "Let's make an agreement first. I can only lead troops, but I don't know anything else."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
A slight surprise flashed in Cao Li's eyes, and he continued: "If you want me to sacrifice my life for you, you must save my family. Only in this way can I wholeheartedly sacrifice my life for you."
Kou Ji nodded in agreement and said: "It should be justified!"
Seeing this, Cao Li breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Kou Ji would only save him and not care about the life or death of his family.
Cao Li's eyes fell on the two soldiers guarding him, "You have to let them live."
Kou Ji thought about it for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay... but they, like you, must be silenced from today on."
Cao Li stared at Kou Ji with a puzzled look on his face, "I'm very curious. Once we escape, the court will definitely pursue us to the end. What can you do to help us avoid the court's pursuit and survive."
Kou Ji said frankly: "In order to prevent you from causing trouble to me in the future, you must die once."
Cao Li frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Fake your own death to escape!"
Cao Li was stunned and frowned even more, "Yang Huaimin is a bit bad, but he's not stupid. Is there any way you can hide it from him?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said, "You don't need to ask if I have any ideas. You just need to do as I say."
Cao Li opened his mouth and wanted to continue asking questions, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
"I listen to you..."
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "If my prediction is correct, Yang Huaimin probably won't go any further when he arrives at Xiangyang Station."
Cao Li was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "I know... his purpose of following me on this trip is to force me to death, and Xiangyang Station is a good place to bury him.
If I don't die, he will neither advance nor retreat."
Kou Ji said approvingly: "As long as you know, you can act with him for two days first. After two days, it's time for you to escape."
Cao Li nodded in agreement.
Kou Ji said nothing and quietly left the inn with his people.
The two soldiers who were guarding Cao Li returned to guard the prison car, as if what just happened never happened.
As soon as Kou Jicheng returned to the courtyard of the inn, he saw Liu Heng coming up to him, "Fourth brother, you are back. If you don't come back, the effect of the drug will be over. By then, we can only kill everyone in the inn...
…”
Kou Jixiao asked: "Have you checked it? It's not cleaned, right?"
Liu Heng nodded heavily, "We poisoned the water. No one escaped, they all fainted."
Kou Ji nodded, "That's good, let the brothers go back to their rooms to rest and act as if nothing happened."
Liu Heng immediately took the people back to his room to sleep.
Kou Ji also went back to his room and fell asleep.
The next two days.
Just as Kou Ji expected.
Yang Huaimin really didn't want to take another step forward.
After he sent someone to put Cao Lili down from the prison car, he imprisoned him in a room and used various methods to humiliate Cao Lili.
Cao also gave full play to his acting skills.
Every time Yang Huaimin humiliated him, he would get angry and have a big fight with Yang Huaimin.
Two days later.
Just after nightfall.
Yang Huaimin was enjoying a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas in the side room, with Yi Chengzuo accompanying him. Yi Cheng's daughter was helping Yang Huaimin beat her legs and rub her shoulders.
"Bang!"
A young eunuch broke into the room rashly and disturbed Yang Huaimin's enjoyment.
Yang Huaimin frowned and scolded: "You have been with our family for so many years and you are still in a panic. Do you want to die?"
The young eunuch was a little frightened, but also a little excited and said: "Godfather, Cao Li hanged himself."
Yang Huaimin was overjoyed and stood up suddenly.
Yi Cheng, Yi Cheng's daughter, looked at Yang Huaimin in horror.
Yi Cheng knew who Cao Lili was.
Although Cao Lili is now living in the inn as a prisoner.
But Cao Li still carries the title of Jiedushi.
For Yi Cheng, that was a big shot that he might not be able to reach in his lifetime.
Such a person actually died in the inn he managed.
And judging from the posture, it seems to be related to Yang Huaimin, whom he is fawning over.
Yang Huaimin was pleasantly surprised and saw the reaction of Yi Cheng and his daughter. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he exclaimed: "General Cao, why did General Cao hang himself?
Let’s go and have a look…”
The words fell to the ground.
Yang Huaimin ran out of the room with a nervous look on his face.
As soon as he walked out of the room, his face darkened, and he ordered the two soldiers guarding the door: "Quiet..."
After dropping these two words, Yang Huaimin's face reappeared with joy, and he quickly walked towards the room where Cao Lili was.
The door is wide open.
There are candles burning inside.
After Yang Huaimin entered the room, he saw Cao Li using his belt to hang himself on the beam.
"Did you really hang yourself? We have completed the task assigned to us by the Queen Mother."
The young eunuch following Yang Huaimin whispered: "Godfather, why don't you give me another blow..."
Yang Huaimin stared and shouted: "Stupid! Have you ever seen a hanged person come back to life? Cao Li is committing suicide now. If we kill him, it will be homicide."
Do you want our family to be strangled to death by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?"
The young eunuch hurriedly apologized: "My child dare not... Then godfather, what should we do next?"
Yang Huaimin snorted coldly: "Send someone to find the magistrate of Xiangzhou and verify that Cao Yongli hanged himself. With his testimony, even if someone takes this matter to court in the future, we will not get into trouble."
"My child, go right away..."
The young eunuch hurriedly left the room.
Yang Huaimin stared at Cao Lili, who was hanging on the beam, and said faintly: "Cao Lili, Cao Lili, you have been a hero for a lifetime, but you have ended up like this. It's a pity...
When you get under Jiuquan, don't blame our family.
Our family also follows orders.
Your survival is a trouble to the Queen Mother.
It is also a trouble for Guo Daban.
Once you die, everyone will be liberated."
The little eunuch left quickly and came back quickly.
The magistrate of Xiangzhou learned that Cao Lili had been hanged at Xiangyang Station, and he almost escaped death.
After getting up from the bed, without even changing into his official uniform, he hurried to the inn and saw Cao Li hanging from the beam.
He just glanced at her and didn't speak.
"It's gone!"
"It's gone!"
"..."
A raging fire burned in Xiangyang Station.
Xiangzhou Zhizhou felt instantly that he seemed to be involved in some ulterior conspiracy, and he almost escaped on the spot.
Yang Huaimin was almost angry to death.
Cao Li hanged himself, which was suicide.
With the corpse as evidence, and after autopsy, he can escape all culpability.
But now the fire came together and burned down the entire inn in an instant.
Cao Lili's death, even if it wasn't fishy, became fishy.
"Put out the fire in our house..."
"Firefighting!"
In order to avoid the fire, Yang Huaimin fled to the courtyard of the inn.
Angrily, he picked up a whisk and drove the soldiers to put out the fire.
But those soldiers are not stupid either.
It is impossible to go in and die.
Most of the houses in the inn were built with earth and wood, and a lot of wood was used. Therefore, after a fire broke out, they quickly became one and turned into a sea of fire.
Rushing into the fire to grab a body?
Unless they're crazy.
Yang Huaimin, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, and all the soldiers watched helplessly as the house where Cao Li's body was hung turned into a pile of ashes.
After the magistrate of Xiangzhou sent someone to summon the water dragon truck in the state capital to put out the fire, he saw three charred corpses lying in the ashes.
Two of them are the post master and his daughter.
Everyone naturally thought that the remaining body was Cao Lili's.
In the mountain forest not far from the inn.
Kou Ji, Liu Heng, and Cao Li stood side by side, staring at the red and dark inn illuminated by the torches after the smoke had cleared.
Cao Li said with a look of admiration: "I didn't expect that the Kou Ministry of Industry and Industry would have such means to allow me to die openly and openly in front of others."
Kou Ji said calmly: "It's just a leaf that blocks your eyesight, not worth mentioning."
Hanging yourself was called suicide in ancient times.
But many people in later generations turned it into a blind eye.
Just a few ropes can create the illusion of suicide.
Kou Ji retracted his gaze from the inn, fell on Cao Li, and said calmly: "You are a dead person now!"
Cao Lili withdrew his gaze and lamented, "I know... there is no more Cao Lili in the world."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "My name is Kou Ji, not Kou Gongbu."
Cao Lili was stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat sad expression: "The villain Cao Lili has met the young master."
Kou Ji smiled calmly, "I know you are unwilling and unwilling. But in this world, I am the only one who can help you take revenge. Do you understand?"
Cao Li nodded, "I understand."
Kou Ji continued: "In the future, don't call yourself a villain in front of me. You, Cao Li, have never been a villain. I will send someone to take you to a place in a while.
When you arrive at the place, someone will help you exercise.
I hope you can turn those people into real warriors as soon as possible."
Cao Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "Baozhou?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "Who told you that I only have Baozhou ones in my hands?"
Cao Li's eyes widened for a moment.
It’s not Baozhou?
Kou Ji actually has other places to hide his troops?
Why is he hiding so many soldiers?
In an instant, countless questions flooded Cao Lili's mind.
Kou Ji did not give him a chance to ask questions. He continued: "When I return to Bianjing City, I will find an excuse to send your family members there to reunite with you.
When your family members arrive, you'd better restrain them and stop them from running around, let alone talking nonsense."
After a pause, Kou Ji stared at Cao Liang and said seriously: "Otherwise... the consequences will be very serious, more serious than any consequences you have ever experienced."
When Cao Li heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand..."
After answering Kou Ji, Cao Li's eyes fell on Liu Heng.
Seeing this, Kou Ji said calmly: "You don't have to worry that he will betray you. He is my brother, and he was the first to have sympathy for you. If he hadn't wanted to save you, I wouldn't have taken the risk.
.”
When Cao Li heard this, he still stared at Liu Heng and said in a deep voice: "He is the nephew of the Queen Mother..."
"Stay the same blood?"
It was not Kou Ji who spoke, but Liu Heng.
Cao Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grinned, "Very good...I believe you..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get on the road as soon as possible. You are not suitable to be on the road in front of others now."
Kou Ji waved his hand and selected a few people from the elite cavalry behind him. He gave them some instructions and asked them to take Cao Lili and leave Xiangyang overnight.
After Cao Li left, Kou Ji sat on a small hill with Liu Heng.
"Cao Li saved..."
Kou Ji said calmly.
Liu Heng handed over to Kou Ji and said: "For me, fourth brother takes such a big risk..."
Before Liu Heng finished speaking, Kou Ji raised his hand to interrupt him.
Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said: "After Cao Li was rescued, your knot has been resolved... However, from now on, your aunt will have a strong opponent hiding in the dark. As long as he does not die,
