Cheng Huang, nicknamed Mr. Cheng, was a veteran eunuch who entered the palace during the reign of Emperor Shun. Due to his qualifications, he ranked at the top of the eunuchs very early and became a regular attendant.

And although he is older, he is a typical man of skill and duplicity. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was very good at courting the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so he was not considered to be the so-called old eunuch... In fact, on the contrary, this wave of counterattacks against the old eunuchs

In the middle, Yang Qiu, the surgeon, is his son-in-law!

Of course, as you can probably guess from the nickname Master Cheng, Cheng Huang should have many beautiful adopted daughters, so he should also have many powerful sons-in-law, but he may not have many powerful guards...

"Hoola!"

As the wooden door of the bedroom was opened, Mr. Cheng Huang, who was still sleeping, was dragged out of the room by two guests of the Cao family with swords in a daze, without waiting for Mr. Cheng to figure it out.

What's going on? Under the original torch, two sturdy men poured a bucket of cold water from the well... Mr. Cheng also woke up immediately!

"Master Cheng." Cao Jie sneered, then walked forward.

"How can I, an old loser, dare to call myself a lord in front of Mr. Cao?" There was no need to look at the person. When Cheng Huang heard the voice, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, regardless of getting wet. "Mr. Cao, please don't hurt the villain.

.”

"Hey." Cao Jie stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head repeatedly. "Now I have a request from Chang Shi Cheng. If I don't call you "Sir," I'm afraid I won't be able to get it done according to your old rules."

"If you have something to do, Mr. Cao can just give you an order. Why do you need to come to visit in person in the middle of the night?" Cheng Huang became more and more frightened.

"As I said, I'm here to ask Mr. Cheng to do something." As he said that, Cao Jie raised his foot and kicked the other person. "Sir Cheng, get up quickly."

Cheng Huang became more and more frightened, but he still managed to get up, and then his eyes straightened... Because right in front of him, behind Cao Jie, and under the torch, there was a box of treasures, full of gold and jade.

!

"How's it going?" Cao Jie leaned forward and asked with a smile. "My Lord, I also called, and the goods were delivered... Then Master Cheng, should you do something for me, Cao Hanfeng?"

Cheng Huang immediately shuddered, and then suddenly realized - the man in front of him had been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and now he was also the first person in the dynasty who was also the minister of Great Changqiu, the dignified Cao Jie Cao Hanfeng!

Not to mention, none of his family members and servants were making any move, as if they were all restrained, and the dozen or so guests of the Cao family in front of him were all staring at him with knives in hand!

Of course, there is also such a box of treasures placed in the courtyard...it’s so beautiful!

"Just say it, Mr. Cao!" After thinking this, Cheng Huang immediately bowed and saluted, regardless of getting wet, and his tone became much firmer. "As long as you give orders, I will do my best."

"That's right." Cao Jie couldn't help but smile dryly with his hands behind his hands. "I want to ask Mr. Cheng something. Your two sons-in-law, Wei Wei Yangqiu and Situ Liu He, have been in close contact recently. I don't know that they are planning something secretly.

what?"

Even though Cheng Huang had been caught before, he couldn't help but look bitter at this moment... You know, Liu He and Yang Qiu are the ones he relies on for his future retirement, so how can he just sell them?

"Mr. Cao!" Cheng Huang immediately knelt down and spoke earnestly. "It's not that I don't want to answer, it's just that... although these two are my sons-in-law, they are just 'little sons-in-law', and they are both ministers themselves.

Even if a noble person has a private plan, he wouldn't tell it to my father-in-law, right?"

"That makes sense." Cao Jie nodded immediately. "That's great...Zixian!"

Luo Mu, who was standing in the shadow behind, immediately waved his hand when he heard the words. Immediately, Cheng Huang couldn't move his eyes again... It turned out that with the wave of the bearded scribe, another box full of treasures was opened.

The lid was lifted up. This time, although it was not as dazzling as the previous box of gold and jade, Mr. Cheng, who knew the goods, knew very well that the Liaodong ginseng and Xuantu River beads were rare treasures in the world today. They were more valuable than the previous box.

Gold and jade should be more real.

It wasn't over yet. Just when Cheng Huang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he suddenly heard a scream in the side yard. He was so frightened that he immediately collapsed to the ground. After a while, a young woman's bloody head was killed by a man.

Cao's guests were brought over... Mr. Cheng took a closer look and almost fainted. This turned out to be his newly adopted daughter.

Cao Jie half-smiled, and directly took the head and threw it at the opponent's feet: "Master Cheng, do you think I don't know what you do with raising such a daughter? Teach them how to serve men, teach them how to find out information, and tell them,

As a young wife, if I want to maintain my favor, I have to rely on you and then deliver news to you... Is there anything new in the world? It's just the old method used by Empress Dowager Dou to distribute gifts to ministers and maids."

Cheng Huang was shaking like chaff. He didn't want to turn away from his adopted daughter's head... but under Cao Jie's lustful power, he didn't dare to move his head at all.

"Tell me, I've added another box of treasures. You can't just accept the money and not do anything, right?" Cao Jie continued impatiently. "What are Yang Qiu and Liu He discussing?"

"I don't dare to deceive Duke Cao." Cheng Huang took the opportunity to raise his head. Under the light of the torch, he saw water droplets all over his face. He didn't know whether it was the well water from before, tears, or sweat. "Yang Qiu"

The two idiots Liu He and Liu He were indeed plotting against Duke Cao. Moreover, Liu He did not agree at first, but later Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu wrote to Liu He and invited the infantry colonel Liu Ne to advise him face to face.

Only then did Liu He agree..."

Cao Jie couldn't help but turn around and look at each other with his confidant Luo Mu... It was a match. Luo Mu's guess was absolutely correct!

"And they are self-aware. What they want now is to push Yang Qiu to the position of Sili Xiaowei again." At this point, Cheng Huang avoided the head of his adopted daughter and kowtowed on the ground repeatedly.

."Other than that, I don't know anything else."

When Cao Jie heard this, he and Luo Mu couldn't help laughing at first, then turned back, looked at Cheng Huang condescendingly and said:

"Master Cheng, you can't 'know nothing else'. Yang Qiu, Chen Qiu, Liu Na, Liu He... uh, and Gongsun Xun, these people are connected with each other, plotting against each other, and intending to kill them first

In the Changqiu period, when the minister ordered Cao Jie, and then led the infantry battalion to rebel and force the palace, and finally elected Liu He as the emperor, you still need to be the first to report it!"

As soon as these words came out, not only did Cheng Huang look horrified, but Luo Mu, who was originally laughing, also turned pale for a moment.

"Mr. Cao!" Cheng Huang immediately screamed. "This is not a joke!"

"Sir." Luo Mu was also a little frightened. "Except for the culprit, why do you want to destroy the human race? Behind these families are all wealthy families, and they are all related..."

"Zixian thinks too much." Cao Jie ignored Cheng Huang, but turned around and explained patiently to his confidants. "Why do I want to destroy the human race? You also said that these people are all descended from famous families, and they are all related by relatives.

Therefore, occupying one side...To deal with these people, if you want to get rid of the culprits, you must punish them with the crime of genocide. And if you just want to get rid of the culprits at the beginning, then I am afraid that the result will be demotion and dismissal."

Luo Mu suddenly understood.

"In the final analysis." Cao Jiefu said with a proud smile under the torch again. "They are also seeking their own death. Yang Qiu had previously contradicted the emperor in person, which had already made the emperor very angry. Chen Qiu is the leader of Xuzhou's rich family, Liu Ne is the infantry captain, and Liu

He is an important minister of the clan... So what if such a group of people have no evidence? As long as the matter of rebellion is handed over to the emperor, the emperor will be as unbearable as a thorn in his heart, and these people will definitely die! "

Cheng Huang, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed again: "In that case, why does Mr. Cao have to be this evil person all his life? Just find someone to lead..."

"Where can I find you, Mr. Cheng?" Cao Jie immediately said with disdain. "You are Yang Qiu, Liu He's father-in-law. If you go out to sue... the emperor will be more trustworthy, right?"

Cheng Huang was about to cry but had no tears: "Why would Mr. Cao make things difficult for me? If I sue my two sons-in-law, let alone the people of the world, I, an old eunuch, am not qualified to say anything to the people of the world... I can only talk about this palace.

Zhong, Luozhong, so many people call me Sir, if they really accuse their son-in-law, how many of them will think highly of me again? I am afraid that they will all regard me as a traitor and turn against me, right?

All the connections I have accumulated over the years will be wiped out in one day."

Cao Jie looked unconcerned, but waved his hand again... Suddenly, another box of Shu brocade was carried up.

But at this time, instead of being happy, Cheng Huang was frightened: "What else do you want, Mr. Cao? Isn't it enough to kill my adopted daughter?"

"What is an adopted daughter?" Cao Jie couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed. "Do you take this kind of adopted daughter seriously? I heard that you adopted an adopted son from the clan..."

Cheng Huang's expression changed drastically.

"Go, cut off an ear first. If Lord Cheng is still not willing to show off, then bring the head directly." Luo Mu suddenly walked out of the shadows. "Master Cheng, let me tell you frankly, three boxes of wealth

My lord has already delivered the goods to you, and then he also condescended to call you "Sir" several times... Then you have to do this business today, whether you do it or not!"

Cheng Huang was speechless and almost speechless.

"Cut your ears quickly!" Luo Mu couldn't help but urge.

"Don't go!" Mr. Cheng finally sat on the ground and burst into tears. "What I did when I first started...you said, I just wrote it, don't touch my adopted son!"

Luo Mu immediately laughed and called the guests who had just left to come back.

"No." Cao Jie also laughed. "It's better to cut off your ears and come back and write..."

"Mr. Cao!" Cheng Huang burst into tears. "Why are you doing this to me?"

"Why?" Cao Jie said indifferently. "You, Mr. Cheng, betrayed your son-in-law, which is shameful to the world, but our Cao family has always been true to our word, so Zi Xian's words must be counted... He

Since it was said that one ear should be cut off, one ear must be cut off first before talking about the other things."

Luo Mu immediately bowed his head, while Cheng Huang burst into tears.

A moment later, with a scream and a human ear being thrown next to the woman's head, under the dim light from the east, Cheng Huang completely lost his intention to resist.

Seeing such a situation, Luo Mu also hurriedly saluted Cao Jie: "My lord, you have to go to the palace after dawn to deal with the emperor. Why don't you go and cultivate yourself? I will teach you how to write a first message here."

"

Cao Jie nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and walked out.

As soon as his master turned around, Luo Mu raised his eyes and scolded Cheng Huang sternly: "Get up and wash up now, and then I will tell you to write, and finally use your seal of two thousand stones... Do not change a word."

!”

After hearing this, Cao Jie, who was about to step out of the backyard, became even more proud.

Just like that, after a night of tossing and looking at the sky, Luo Mu finally walked out of the door holding a piece of paper, but he almost tripped over something.

Upon seeing this, several guests around him quickly helped each other, but at the same time they couldn't help but blame each other: "Why did you forget to take the head away? I almost tripped Luo Jun!"

"Brother Zhang, didn't you say you wanted to leave this thing here to intimidate the other party?",

"Did I say that?"

"Brother Zhang, I'm not telling you, how can you, the leader of an adopted daughter, be able to intimidate this Cheng Huang? Look at his behavior at night, when did he treat his adopted daughter as an adult? Sooner or later, this adopted daughter will be from another family, so this

The adopted daughter’s head is not as good as the adopted son’s ear.”

"That is, the reason why others can be so obedient is due to the power of our Duke Cao and Lord Luo..."

"Okay." Luo Mu couldn't help but feel irritated when he heard this, so he immediately stopped. "Where is Mr. Cao now?"

"Originally, I was sleeping soundly in the bedroom in the front yard, but half a quarter of an hour ago, the second master suddenly came over and started talking to the second master in the bedroom in the front yard."
To be continued...
