"Are you literate?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be surprised.

"I have been an official in the imperial court for decades, and I can read even if I am illiterate." Cao Poshi said awkwardly. "It's just that the writing is extremely ugly."

"But I'm looking down on you." Gongsun Xun said unconcernedly. "Well, in that case, I'll ask someone to get water for you to wash your hands with, so why don't you just write a quick letter... is it for your family?"

"Exactly! For my son and son-in-law... Of course, my only son and daughter were all adopted to my eldest brother, who can also be said to be my nephews and nieces."

"Your son...well, your nephew, is his name Cao Ling? It seems that he has just been promoted to the rank of Imperial Servant? He should be working in the official temple now?"

"right!"

"Your niece is married to Feng Fang, my colleague at the Secretariat? I heard that this person will be promoted recently?"

"right!"

"I didn't expect that someone like you would have the right to lick a baby. Seeing that he was about to die, he actually knew to leave a suicide note for his son and son-in-law..."

"..."

"What's wrong?" Gongsun Xun immediately asked with a frown. "What's your expression? Why don't you write it?"

"I am..." Cao Poshi hesitated before speaking.

"Who are you!" Gongsun Xun said more and more impatiently. "You can't write if you lose one ear?! It's just a suicide note!"

"No!" Cao Poshi couldn't help but said anxiously. "I want to write a letter to coax my son and son-in-law to come here, and then make a pledge for me... Even though I have adopted someone, but after the adoption, shouldn't I be filial?

"

"..."

"Dr. Gongsun, you only kidnapped me because my eldest brother was against you. In this case, there is no difference between kidnapping me or my son or son-in-law! Please consider my age and wait for them to come.

Then let me go!"

Gongsun Xun was stunned, and then he laughed: "It's just a fateful ending... In that case, write it down quickly, I'm about to have a drink with Brother Feng and the others!"

Not to mention that Gongsun Xun was extremely shocked by Cao Poshi's lower limit. On the other hand, in Cao Mansion, Luo Mu could not be said to have broken his promise... Although he did not stop Cao Poshi before, he was

After the letter was sent, he personally stopped Cao Jie and Cao Hanfeng.

In fact, Gongsun Xun was able to continue chatting and laughing with Cao Poshi in the Yang Mansion because of Luo Zixian!

"Zixian, why did someone summon me home in such a hurry?" In the afternoon, as soon as Cao Jiefu returned home from the North Palace, he went directly to Luo Mu's room. "You don't look good? But the wound is not healed?"

"It's not a wound on the head, but something in the belly," Luo Muqiang replied with a smile after stacking several cases with papers. "It won't be fun if you don't vomit!"

Cao Jie couldn't help but smile awkwardly when he heard the words, and then sat sideways in front of the door. He didn't look at the other person, but turned to the corridor and said, "I know Zixian is doing it for my own good. But Zixian, you don't want to either."

Think about it, Po Shi adopted his only son and daughter to me, how much kindness is this to me? Although I am the elder brother, I often feel guilty in front of him, so I often indulge him."

"But……"

"I know." Cao Jie said quickly. "But don't worry, after this incident, no one in the court dares to attack me, Cao Jie. Even Gongsun Xun is going to Xiangping, Liaodong... I passed by Shangshu when I came here.

Taiwan, Xiao Feng told me personally that Lu Zhi is urgently arranging this matter for his students... In this case, no one will care about what happened to Po Shi."

"But sir, everyone is mortal. Even the most resourceful people cannot control what happens after death. Second Master..."

Cao Jie couldn't help frowning when he heard the other party repeatedly mentioning the word "death", but after all, he felt guilty, so he still tried his best to say: "In this case, I will restrain him more, and I will definitely put him under his control before I die."

Drive me back to my hometown... What do you think, Zixian?"

"The boy is guilty!"

"What?" Cao Jie couldn't help but turn around and asked. The light in front of the door was so different from that in the house, and there were several cases between them, so he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly at the moment.

"I say... this kid is guilty!" Luo Mu gritted his teeth and replied. "I owe it to you, sir. I secretly communicated with Gongsun Xun..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Facing the western sun, Cao Jie took down his two thousand stone crown with ease, flicked the dust on it, and couldn't help but laugh. "The matter of your secret communication with Gongsun Xun is

It is a strategy that you and I have personally decided on. We will take Wang Fu and others out of the Sun Ball to capture the hearts of Gongsun Xun and others, feed the appetites of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, and then use their miserable images to connect all the internal officials...

…These are all your hard-working plans, and I approved them, so how can you say you are guilty?"

"The secret communication that the boy mentioned does not refer to the past. To be honest, sir... I just went to see Gongsun Xun at noon today and told everything about last night... The boy is guilty!" Under the shadows in the room, Luo Mu's face looked a little grim.

Distorted and ugly.

Cao Jie did not look at this confidant who he regarded as his own son. He just lowered his head and continued to blow the dust from his official hat, and then said with the same expression: "It doesn't matter! After all, the other generation has you and is kind to you, so you can repay the favor."

It is human nature to be kind, so how can I blame you for repaying your kindness? Besides, you should also know that Zhao Zhong was by the emperor's side after I entered the palace today, so it was not involved at all.

The other generation... But Zi Xian, I am very happy that you can tell me, but if you came to me directly to plead for mercy before, I will definitely agree! He is just a kid who can only take advantage of the situation and jump around. I really don’t care about him.

In my eyes, nothing can compare with the love between you and me?!"

Blue veins suddenly appeared on Luo Mu's face, but then he calmed down and continued to speak with all his strength: "Sir, not only that, I also suggest that Gongsun Xun go and rescue the family members of Yang Qiu and others to prevent them from being bullied by the second master, and also

Promise him to stop and delay the Second Master for him."

"It doesn't matter." Cao Jie couldn't help but sigh. "It's just family members... Do you know why I haven't come for a long time? In fact, Yang Ci, Liu Kuan, Yuan Wei, and Qiao Xuan all went to the palace to meet the emperor to plead for mercy!

The emperor still has some respect for these people, especially the two emperor masters, whose affection is no worse than mine. As we said before, the crime of treason is just the result of killing the evil leader. At most, these family members will be exiled to the border areas.

.If he saves it, he will save it...it doesn't matter."

"That's not the case." Luo Mu's face suddenly twisted again, and he finally gritted his teeth and said the following sentence. "Actually, I didn't stop the second master... As I expected, it's not bad. If the second master really can't control it,

If Gongsun Xun is really a hero and goes to save people personally...I am afraid that by this time, the second master will have been controlled by Gongsun Xun!"

Cao Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, but suddenly he woke up, then immediately dropped the two thousand stone crown in his hand, and got up to save people!

However, after walking only a few steps along the corridor, he suddenly realized that his brother was indeed in Gongsun Xun's hands at this time. He was either dead or would be kidnapped out of Luo... In this case

, this matter needs long-term consideration! Should we encircle the opponent on a large scale and intimidate the other party, or should we compromise and focus on preservation? Moreover, where should the troops be mobilized in a hurry? Who should be allowed to negotiate?

As soon as he thought about this, Cao Jie made a decisive decision and decided to focus on saving his brother's life. He called the servant in the distance and asked him to call his son-in-law Feng Fang to come over quickly... This man was also one of the thirty-six ministers in the Shangshutai.

, he was able to talk to Gongsun Xun after all. Then, he returned to Luo Mu's house, not only to question his son-in-law before he arrived, but also to ask the other party to give up on the person who had to tie the bell after all.

That stupid idea and give yourself an idea!

only……

But as soon as he returned to Luo Mu's house, Cao Jie couldn't help but panic... It turned out that the bearded scribe who he treated as his own son actually had a twisted look on his face, rolled to the ground, and even destroyed several tables, low stools, and papers in the house.

The pens and pottery were in a mess.

My brother may not die first, but my godson will die first?!

"What's wrong with Zixian?" After coming back to his senses, Cao Jie couldn't help but wailed. He didn't care about the questioning and directly stepped forward to support him. "Why is that so?"

"Sir, it hurts!" Luo Mu's face was distorted, and tears and runny nose could not help but flow out as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Where does it hurt?!" Cao Jie became more and more panicked. "Tell me!"

"In my belly..." Luo Mu's face turned red and his voice was hoarse. "After I did this, I naturally knew that adults and children would not be able to tolerate me in the future, but I was homeless and had nowhere to go, so I decided to die.

! And knowing that he was guilty, he used the method of swallowing gold to apologize to the Lord!"

Cao Jiuzhu was stunned, and then burst into tears: "Why is this happening? Why is it happening like this?"

"I know that the method of swallowing gold will destroy the internal organs, and the pain is like torture." Luo Mu clutched his stomach and became more and more unbearable. "But I don't want to be in such pain..."

Cao Jie couldn't stop crying. He wanted to call for help, but he knew it was useless... The method of swallowing gold was originally a form of torture that relied on metal edges to destroy organs, and once swallowed, there was almost no luck! Otherwise, it would be like this

Is it possible to disembowel someone in such a hurry to save others?

"Sir," Luo Mu gritted his teeth and continued. "I don't regret it... The second master will really bring disaster to the Cao family. I deliberately wanted to get rid of him, but I also know that you are just flesh and blood. I'm sorry for you."

I have no choice but to sacrifice my life for my great kindness!"

When Cao Jie heard this, he cried even more bitterly: "Zixian really doesn't know, I also regard you as my own flesh and blood!!!"

"Sir." Luo Mu was in so much pain that he couldn't hear the other person's words at all, so he could only explain himself in words. "I have one more thing to ask you... If the second master really dies, I will kill him. In the past,

When I was down and out, Gongsun Xun helped me save my life. If you can spare him, please spare him... Moreover, the Gongsun family lives in the strategic point of western Liaoning. The tree has deep roots, branches and leaves, and is rich. It may not be that way.

Easy to deal with!"

Cao Jie burst into tears, but was speechless.

"The world is about to be in chaos. Beigong cannot rely on it for a long time. The Cao family will lose power sooner or later... I wrote it in my suicide note." For some reason, Luo Mu suddenly felt a lot more comfortable all over his body. His speech became fluent and his eyes became clear.

"In short, in the next few years, adults, both internal and external, must restrain their children, live in harmony, and never take power and dictatorship again! As long as they do not offend the emperor, they can take the opportunity to work hard to show kindness to the foreign dynasty, young heroes

No matter who you are, you must be patient..." At this point, Luo Mu was furious, and then his eyes gradually blurred, but he suddenly realized. "These have been written in the suicide note, and there should be no more words... I just hope that you will work hard.

Extra food... After I die, I beg to be buried..."

As soon as a word was undecided, Luo Zixian became silent, while Cao Jie was in mourning.

——————My stomach hurts the dividing line——————

"When (Luo Mu) returned, the incident happened. The Cao family was imprisoned and robbed. The five poisons came and burned the axe, so he held it in his elbow and armpit. The curtain was generous and speechless, and his face changed. Some people asked: 'Don't you feel pain?

What?' Mu bent down to pick up the cooked meat and ate it, but still said nothing. Cao was ultimately unable to do anything. When Cao Jie returned from Beigong, he was furious when he heard about it and went to rebuke him personally. Mu then said: 'Your Excellency, you are falsely accusing someone.

I am loyal and good, I went to tell you, it is righteousness; I have received great kindness from you, and turned my back on the Lord, which is really unfaithful. Therefore, when I came, I had swallowed gold into my belly, it hurt like a knife, and I wanted to die! The immortal has not been able to see you, sir.

Ye!' Jie was shocked and mourned again. The scene came back slowly and he said: 'The general trend of the world is not in the eunuch. I hope you will do more righteous things, and the whole family will work hard to eat more...' Without stopping, he died immediately.

At that time, everyone was sighing!" - "Jiu Yan Shu". Du Xing Biography
