Chapter 33 Straight Down(2/2)
"I'm going to see you, sir." Luo Mu frowned and ordered. "And I'm afraid that sir and I will have to go out to do things later, so you should keep an eye on the Cheng family here. Remember, unless Cheng Huang is summoned by the palace.
, Otherwise, we will not let him go!”
"Here!" All the guests agreed quickly.
Luo Mu then quickly went to see Cao Jie with the certificate.
"Excellent!" Cao Jie took the paper and hurriedly scanned a few lines, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. "That's it! Just wait until daybreak, and I will go directly to the palace... break the stone!"
"Brother!" Cao Poshi on the side quickly leaned over to obey the order.
"Didn't you tell me for a long time that you wanted to raid the house?" Cao Jie pointed to the names on the paper and said with excitement. "Just go home and wait. When I make a decision from the palace, I will send the Imperial Army to general Chen
After the four people Qiu, Liu He, Yang Qiu and Liu Ne are captured, you can use the excuse of searching for evidence in my name to see Luoyang Commander Sima Fang, and then you can openly and openly search the homes of these four people one by one.
Once, it can be regarded as making up for some household expenses..."
Cao Poshi couldn't help but laugh proudly.
"Sir!" Luo Mu suddenly interrupted seriously. "You can't let the second master ransack your home!"
"Why?" Cao Poshi was immediately furious. "When do we, brothers, ask you to point our fingers when we speak?"
"Sir!" Luo Mu hurriedly spoke anxiously to Cao Jie. "We also mentioned before that Chen Qiu, Yang Qiu, Liu He, Liu Ne and others all come from wealthy families... Although this move is a conspiracy.
On the contrary, he only wants to kill the culprit, and you don't know what the second master is like. That day in the Yueqi camp, he begged his subordinate's wife and forced him to die, which made Luozhong look at him with suspicion. If this were in the Chen Mansion, Liu
If the mansion falls in love with that woman again, it might cause a big disaster!"
Cao Poshi couldn't bear it anymore, and a fierce anger surged up immediately, and he actually touched his waist. When he stretched out his hand to touch it, he suddenly remembered how hastily he came, and before he could even carry the sword, he picked up the item in Cheng Mansion's bedroom again.
One of the little ones smashed the opponent's head in all directions.
Between the lightning and flint, before Cao Jie could stop him, Luo Mu was hit to the head and bleeding!
"Son of a bitch!" Cao Jie reacted and became furious, and quickly grabbed the little one. "Kneel down!"
Cao Poshi also suddenly came to his senses and quickly put down Xiaoji to apologize. Cao Jie also quickly went to check on Luo Mu's injury.
"It's okay." Luo Mu wiped the blood on his face, but found that the blood was soaked in his hair and beard, and it was difficult to remove it for a while, so he simply ignored it and leaned towards Cao Jie again to speak. "Sir... please think twice about this matter.
! If the second master’s temper is not restrained, sooner or later the Cao family will be wiped out. We are doing this thunderous act today just so that we can live a stable life in the future!"
"I understand." Cao Jie helped the other person up with great distress. "I understand."
"Brother." Seeing that Luo Mu was fine and still making alarmist remarks, Cao Poshi couldn't help but angrily interjected. "I just want to run a house raid and make a small fortune. How can I bring about the destruction of my family? What a big deal.
If I don’t touch a woman, just...how?!”
Cao Jie was extremely agitated. On the one hand, he felt that Luo Mu was indeed loyal, but on the other hand, he felt that it was difficult to veto his brother's request, so he had no choice but to make peace with him: "Zixian, don't worry, you have agreed not to touch Po Shi."
woman……"
Luo Mu felt depressed and was about to persuade him again, but when he saw the slightly impatient look in his master's eyes, for some reason, he kept silent again...I don't know what he was thinking.
Cao Jie didn't have time to think too much. He just thought it was another household chore that caused him a headache. He couldn't help but get up with the certificate and want to escape from here.
However, as soon as they came together, Cao Poshi suddenly shouted: "Brother... you just mentioned four people, why did you miss one Gongsun Xun? This kid came to the door that day, and he humiliated our brothers for nothing...
…If this guy Luo Mu didn’t write it down, could he be remembering the kindness of a few meals at the charity house that day and waiting to repay his kindness?”
Luo Mu remained silent as blood flowed from his forehead and seeped into his beard.
"Can you shut up?" Cao Jie no longer had the energy to be angry. "Gongsun Xun's wife is Zhao Zhong's niece, and he himself is also a student of Liu Kuan. If he really wanted to write this name on it, he would not be able to mention the others because of it.
If four people win, that would be called a mistake!"
"Then let's just forget it?" Cao Poshi refused.
"What doesn't count?" Cao Jie couldn't help but get up and asked. "He's just a kid who relies on other people's influence. How can it be so important? I, Cao Hanfeng, have never taken him seriously!"
"The humiliation that day was really embarrassing." Cao Poshi couldn't help but said anxiously.
"Then I have to wait until I meet the emperor before I make a decision." Cao Jie replied casually as he walked out. "If Zhao Zhong is here, I won't mention his name. But if Zhao Zhong is not here, I will just mention it casually.
At that time, we will not punish him with death, but only find him involved in the crime and send him to prison for a few days. By the time Liu Kuan rescues him, he may have been disabled by us... I want to see, then
He couldn't even ride a horse at that time, so how could he be a gentleman on a white horse?"
Cao Poshi was overjoyed immediately, but when he turned around again, he found Na Luo with a big beard staring at him. He couldn't help but secretly screamed that it was bad luck, and then he got up and chased his elder brother out, as if he was preparing to go home and wait for the good news.
.
In other words, Cao Jie went straight into the palace, ready to complete his achievements in one battle... But it was not until noon that the emperor finally made up his mind and issued an edict to capture the four people involved in the case. Chen Qiu and Yang Qiu were almost defenseless.
They were captured one by one by the well-prepared Imperial Army.
However, when everyone at Shangshutai learned the vague news that Yang Qiu had been captured, and asked Wang Lang to rush to Gongsun Xun's residence to report the news, the latter was surprised to find... Gongsun Xun was no longer here, but Mrs. Gongsun was calm
Come forward to greet.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law!" Wang Lang hurriedly greeted him. "Lang was ordered by Lu and Liu Ershangshu to tell me something important. I wonder where Brother Wenqi is?"
"I've met Shangshu Changshi." Zhao Yun was still calm. "I dare to ask Wang Changshi, but are you here because of Cao Jie's false accusation of Yang Gong for treason?"
Wang Lang couldn't help being shocked, but then he was relieved: "Since Brother Wenqi already knows about this, it's best. I guess he has already left the city to escape?"
"That's all I just knew." Zhao Yun continued to answer. "Just now, two groups of people suddenly came to my home to report. My husband hurried out of the city after hearing the first group of news."
"It doesn't matter." Wang Lang was surprised and could only nod his head repeatedly. "In that case, I will go and reply to Mr. Lu..."
"No need." Zhao Yun continued to answer calmly. "I have already sent my family to report to Master Lu. Moreover, the second group of people who just reported the news brought new information, and they need to let my husband know, and I am the one who
A weak woman... Wang Changshi is sent by Master Lu, so he must be trustworthy, I don't know...?"
"Sister-in-law, feel free to say so." Of course Wang Lang would not refuse. "I will go after Brother Wenqi right now."
"That's good." Zhao Yun said quickly. "The person who just came was sent by my uncle. He said that when Cao Jie met with the emperor today, he saw him right in front of him, so he didn't mention my husband.
You... also asked Wang Changshi to pursue him in the direction of Goushi after leaving the city and inform him of this matter."
This is also good news. Of course Wang Lang agreed wholeheartedly. However, Wang Jingxing was Wang Jingxing after all. When he agreed, he also reacted... Isn't Mrs. Gongsun's uncle Zhao Zhong, the minister of the Imperial Palace? And since Zhao Zhong is in front of the emperor, then this
I'm afraid it's natural that Gongsun Xun was not involved.
Of course, now Yang Qiu, Chen Qiu, Liu He, Liu Na and others have become imperial prisoners. After this incident, Cao Jie's power has been completely restored. Luozhong is no longer a place where Gongsun Xun can stay for a long time.
So if you think about it carefully, while Mrs. Gongsun was delivering a letter to Lu Shangshu, she also asked herself to chase her husband... It seemed that she wanted her husband to stay secretly in the Goushi family, and then asked Lu Shangshu to issue an appointment quickly.
The former calmly escaped under the guise of going to his post!
To be honest, this is much better than running away in panic back to my hometown in western Liaoning.
No matter what he thought in private, Wang Lang didn't hesitate at all on his face. He just cupped his hands slightly and then rode out of the city directly to the southeast. Moreover, only a few miles southeast from the city, he was so surprised that he reined in his horse on the road.
...It turned out that Gongsun Xun was sitting on a pony by the roadside, waiting for news!
"Brother Wenqi!" Wang Lang looked at it for a moment, then hurriedly got off his horse and went forward to convey the news to the other party, and tried his best to persuade him. "Although this matter does not involve Brother Wenqi, the matter is already very urgent. Xian Brother, why don't you go and stay in Fengshi temporarily, and wait until Mr. Lu prepares the documents for you at the Chancellery today, and then I will change the seal for you, and when we meet at Fengshi tomorrow, wouldn't it be appropriate for you to leave Beijing directly to take up your post?"
Gongsun Xun listened carefully. He could not help but relax when he heard that he was not directly implicated because Zhao Zhong was there. However, after hearing Wang Lang's advice later, he shook his head slightly: "When I fled in a hurry, I didn't know whether I was involved or not." Wanted by a co-defendant... If he is really designated as a key criminal, he can't save himself, so he can just turn around and flee back to his hometown; but since he is still relatively safe now, how can he abandon others? "
"Brother Wenqi." Wang Lang quickly explained. "Yang Qiu, Chen Qiu, Liu He, Liu Na and other princes have all been captured now... In such a big case, what's the use of going back? You can save it. Four of them? How can it be considered as abandoning others?"
"If we can't save the Fourth Duke, what will happen to his family members?" Gongsun Xun looked stern, then stood up suddenly and raised his eyebrows and retorted. "Could he be implicated in the case by innocent people? I won't hide it from Jing Xing, I actually know about the Four Dukes' collusion. I don’t know, but no matter what, since we were comrades, all four of them were imprisoned, but I abandoned their family and left alone, and I still want to go to work as an official... By then, what will the people of the world think of me, Gongsun Xun? ?!"
Wang Lang was speechless for a moment, but when he saw Lu Fan behind him winking at him, he immediately understood... This Lu Ziheng must have tried to persuade him to no avail, so he put his hope in himself, so he spoke again, preparing to persuade him.
However, Gongsun Xun seemed to have already made up his mind, and he actually ignored it, got on his horse, and then gave instructions: "Jing Xing quickly go to Yang Gong's house to find your teacher and ask him to enter the palace to rescue; Zi Heng goes southeast to meet Zi Bo and his Manpower; Yi Gong and his righteous followers will follow me back to the city... As long as I am here today, I will never let Cao Jie become so arrogant!"
After saying this, he actually hit the horse and drove away, while Han Dang and the others behind him had no time to talk to him, so they had no choice but to follow him on horseback.
Wang Lang stood by the road. Seeing the other party's magnanimity, he felt agitated for a moment and hesitated to speak. But after he watched Gongsun Xun's white horse go straight into the city, he finally looked at Lu Fan who was smiling wryly, and then Everyone said goodbye and hurriedly did as they were told.
