Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 121 Zuo Kindness (First Change of Chapter 4000)
Hearing Xi Zhong's words, Boss Cao finally stopped laughing, turned around and asked seriously: "Why did Zhicai say that? Could it be that he heard some rumors?"

He had already emphasized to Cao Ting before that don't talk nonsense about Zhou Feng, and let Xi Zhong come to him even if there is a problem.

And he himself has temporarily prevaricated Xi Zhong with the excuse of "physical reasons". After that, Xi Zhong never mentioned this matter for a while, but now he suddenly brought up the old matter again, he must have heard something!
Thinking of this, Boss Cao immediately felt a little sullen in his heart.

Only the Huan army knew about Zhou Feng, and as his secret army, only he and a very few of his cronies knew about the real responsibilities of the Huan army. He also didn't mention where the gold came from, and skipped the tomb robbery.

Even among the people present, except for Cheng Yu, everyone knows it well... At that time, Cheng Yu sent Lv Bu's spy Yang Wanli to the Huan Army, which was actually Xun Yu's intention.

It is also because of this that just now, Cao Zhi mentioned that there is a big gift to give, and that this thing is not trivial, so Boss Cao can hold back his curiosity and wait until night to talk about it.

But at this moment, Xi Zhong heard something that he shouldn't have heard.

This shows that there must be someone in the Huan army who is gossiping everywhere. If such a person can tell this matter, he can also tell other things, and he must not stay!
"Shijun Mo Nian, this matter was not brought up by others, but when Zhong returned home two days ago to scold my nephew Zhou Feng for not being up to date, he heard some different words from him."

Xi Zhong hastily bowed slightly and said, "Now that the envoy and the generals are talking about the Tiaoren army, Zhicai suspects that Zhou Feng's statement is false, so he wants to verify it with the envoy...and then make a decision."

Zhou Feng is dead.

Xi Zhong knew what kind of person Boss Cao was, and when he mentioned this matter, he knew that Zhou Feng would definitely die.

Therefore, the reason why Xi Zhong asked this sentence was because he had already murdered Zhou Feng.

This week, Zhou Feng did something shameful when he was in the Liren army. It is disloyal to make Jun have to cover for him for the sake of his own face!

Now when he returned home, he continued to talk nonsense, and deceived the eldest mother and him, the head of the family. If he believed Zhou Feng's words, he really brought him to confront the envoy. When the lies were exposed, the playwright's face would be wiped away. This is unfilial!

Such unfaithful and unfilial things are not worthy of living in this world!

Xi Zhong thinks very clearly, even if he touches the benevolence of a woman and just drives him out of the dramatist, based on his virtue and despicableness, maybe in order to live a good life for a few days, he dares to take advantage of the relationship between him and the dramatist. Famous, cheating food and drink around outside.

If this is the case, it is actually the face of the playwright, even the family tradition that I tried my best to maintain, will be ruined by this son!
and so.

It doesn't matter whether the envoy wants him to die or not.

All Xizhong wanted him to die, but he just wanted him to die clearly!
"In that case..."

Boss Cao has also heard his meaning and determination from Xi Zhong's words, so the anger in his heart quickly calmed down, he nodded slightly in an extremely tacit understanding, and turned to the others and said, "Yuan Rang, Wen Ruo, Zhong De, what are you doing?" You Zixiu, that’s all for today, you guys go back first, Anmin stay here.”

"Yes, envoy."

Several people saluted and retreated quickly.

When there were only three people left in the hall, Boss Cao said to Cao Ting again: "Anmin, tell your Uncle Zhicai what happened in Dangshan back then, there is no need to hide anything."

"Yes, uncle."

Cao Ting nodded.

Then he described Zhou Feng's actions at that time in detail, and the image of a clown who stole chickens and did nothing to lose money was vividly on the paper.

Hearing this, Xi Zhong blushed a little.

Fortunately, Zhou Feng's surname is not Xi, so he is not considered a playwright.

Otherwise, regardless of whether he or she has committed disloyalty or filial piety, it is a clumsy performance that is seen through by others without knowing it, like a monkey show, and Xizhong will use family law to beat him to death with sticks, so as not to go out to shame and corrupt Playwright fame.

"Uncle Zhicai, everything I just said is true, and everyone in the Huan army can testify."

After finishing speaking, Cao Ting did not forget to make a guarantee, although for Boss Cao and Xi Zhong, it was really unnecessary.

"Thank you Anmin."

Xi Zhong bowed his hands and thanked him.

"Anmin, you should go out first."

Boss Cao waved his hand and said to Cao Ting.

"Yes."

Cao Ting also bowed and retreated.

It was also at this time that Boss Cao finally beckoned Xi Zhong to sit beside him, poured him a glass of wine, and asked with a smile, "Zhicai, what do you think of this person now?"

"This person is quite quick-witted, and his response to this matter was just right. Under the brakes of silence, he completely blocked the possibility of Zhou Feng's sophistry and exoneration afterwards. clear."

Xi Zhong knew that Boss Cao was not talking about Zhou Feng, so he said intently, "This person must have taken precautions in advance to be able to do this, so that he can follow the trend, but how did he detect this in advance? Zhou Feng No matter how stupid he is, he shouldn't be exposed in advance, so Zhong doesn't understand."

"Anmin said that this person is the descendant of the ghost boy, and occasionally he will inexplicably predict something when it happens. What do you think of this matter?"

Boss Cao asked again.

"If that's the case, the Dangshan incident, and even what he did in Yanzhou recently, can all be explained."

Xi Zhong nodded, and said sternly, "It's just what is going on with this ghost boy... Zhong has never been in contact with it, nor has he understood anything, so he dare not speak nonsense."

"Um……"

Boss Cao frowned, wondering what he was thinking.

"However, looking at it now, this person is sincerely doing things for the envoy, and he has not seen any other thoughts for the time being, and it may not be a bad thing."

Xi Zhong thought for a while and said, "If you still have doubts, don't you want to meet this person tonight? Why don't you take this opportunity to test his sincerity and ambition, so that you can rest assured."

"What Zhicai said is very true, come and meet this person with me tonight."

Boss Cao finally nodded and said.

"As ordered."

Xi Zhong clasped his hands and said, "But now Zhong needs to go back to Yuncheng to deal with family affairs, please allow me."

"Go, go early and come back early."

Boss Cao nodded.

Xi Zhong gave a salute, turned around and left the back hall.

From the beginning to the end, except for Cao Zhi's narration of what happened in Dangshan, the two of them never talked directly about anything about Zhou Feng.

But it seems that a consensus has been reached, and it is a consensus acceptable to both parties.

As for Wu Liang.

There is a reason why he always calls himself a shaman, and makes his ability to be a shaman very unreliable, instead of all kinds of pretending to magnify his ability, or even make himself a myth.

Zuo Ci, nicknamed "Mr. Wujiao", is a good lesson for the past.

Zuo Ci is a well-known alchemist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that he is proficient in the Five Classics, knows the art of the room, understands astrology, and is also proficient in Qimen Dunjia.

But these are mostly folk legends.

In fact, Cao Zhi’s description of this person in the official history is like this: “There are alchemists in the world, and my king has incurred them. Ganling has Ganshi, Lujiang has Zuoci, and Yangcheng has Qijian. Only then can Qi guide. , Compassionate Xiaofang's art, frugal and good at bigu, known to be hundreds of years old. Those who were originally gathered in Wei State are sincerely afraid that this person's followers will pick up traitors to deceive the public, and practice evil to confuse the people, so they gathered together But it is forbidden. Do you want to watch the gods in Yingzhou, seek peace in the sea, release gold and take care of Yunyu, abandon Wenji and seek flying dragons! My king, prince and Yu brothers think it is a joke, but I don’t believe it. That's it."

Simply translated it means:
Legend has it that Gan Shi of Ganling knew how to guide luck, Zuo Ci of Lujiang knew how to use Fang Zhongshu, and Qie Jian of Yangcheng knew how to make bigu, and they all claimed to have lived hundreds of years old.But in fact, my royal father gathered them in Wei State because he was afraid that these idiots would make trouble, and gathered them here to take care of them. Did he want to see the gods?My father, prince and brothers all took it as a joke and didn't believe it at all!
This is what the Cao family thinks of these alchemists.

There is even such a record in folk unofficial history: "It is said that Zuo Ci claimed that he had mastered the technique of bigu, so that he could not eat for a year, so when Cao Cao heard about it, he summoned Zuo Ci, locked him in a stone house, and sent people to monitor him. He was not given food for a year, so he was released after a year, and he was still the same. But Cao Cao still believed that there is no reason for people in the world not to eat. Zuo Ci did not eat for a year, it must be You are a wicked heretic, insisting on killing him..."

Emmm...

This rumor of unofficial history undoubtedly further confirmed what Cao Zhi said in the official history about Boss Cao's attitude towards these alchemists who pretended to be ghosts.

Starve him for a year first, then kill him if he doesn't starve to death...

Wu Liang claimed that he didn't have the ability to survive starvation for a year without food.

There is also no rumor that Zuo Cina was able to use the technique of transformation to escape after being chased and killed by Boss Cao several times.

Therefore, you must be cautious and cautious when pretending to be a ghost in front of Boss Cao, and just click as far as it goes, otherwise you will not only flash your tongue, but may even break your neck.

As for what kind of ability Zuo Ci has, is he as magical as the folklore says...

Wu Liang has reservations for the time being, seeing is believing and hearing is not. Now that he has reached this age, he has the opportunity to have close contact with Zuo Ci, the legendary "Earth Immortal". Let's talk about it after meeting.

Anyway, if it was an ordinary quack trick, it would not be so easy to deceive him.

……

After a few hours.

"Uncle, why did you come back so soon..."

Zhou Feng, who had already packed his luggage and was about to escape quietly from the opera house, bumped into Xi Zhong who was returning on horseback as soon as he reached the door, his expression changed immediately, and he hid his luggage behind him.

He knew that Xi Zhong went to Juancheng to meet the envoy today, and he would definitely talk about what happened when he was in the army.

In this way, no matter whether it is necessary to confront Shijun in front of him or not, he will definitely not be able to continue to hide that little shit, and based on his understanding of Xi Zhong, it must be impossible to just let it go.

So we must take advantage of Xi Zhong to escape as soon as possible...

But what he didn't expect was that Xi Zhong would come back so soon, otherwise he wouldn't even pack his luggage, and would run away as soon as Xi Zhong went out.

"Qiwen, where are you going?"

Xi Zhong Hengma stopped in front of Zhou Feng and asked expressionlessly.

"No, not going anywhere, just going out casually."

Zhou Feng said with a pale face.

"I still have something to tell you. It's not too late to go out after I'm done. Follow me back first."

Xi Zhong said again.

"..."

Looking at Xi Zhong's expression, Zhou Feng knew that the matter had been exposed, so he was not willing to go back, he stood still, thinking about how to get out.

"Walk?"

Xi Zhong said in a cold voice again.

"Uncle...I'm sorry, you forced me!"

Zhou Feng finally raised his head, his face suddenly became ferocious, he suddenly took out a short knife from his bosom and stabbed at Xi Zhong.

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, Xi Zhong had been prepared for a long time, raised his hand and whipped Zhou Feng's face, causing him to stagger and back two steps.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly pulled out the saber from his waist.

"puff!"

Before Zhou Feng could react, the sword had already pierced Zhou Feng's abdomen.

Don't think that counselors have no military power. In this era of turmoil, human lives are like a must. Even the civil servants who are officials in the capital carry weapons with them for self-defense. After all, they need to practice a little.

"Uncle, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please forgive my life for my mother's sake..."

Blood gurgled out along the blood groove on the sword body, feeling the threat of death, Zhou Feng bowed his waist in pain with a frightened look on his face, begging for mercy.

"Homeowner!"

Seeing this situation, several guards at the door rushed out to help.

"Shameful thing! Drag it back and close the door tightly, don't let outsiders see the joke!"

Xi Zhong's face became even colder, and he twisted the saber with a little force in his hand, and then pulled it out with a "shua" amidst Zhou Feng's screams of pain.

"Yes……"

The guard didn't dare to say anything more, he rushed over and put away Zhou Feng's dagger that fell on the ground, and dragged it into the yard with his shoulders on his shoulders.

Among other things, just daring to attack Zhou Feng against his family is already a capital offense.

Doomed!
……

That night.

Wu Liang took "Suihou Pearl" and followed Cao Ti to Cao Mansion.

Cao Ting was beaming along the way, and he couldn't stop talking to Wu Liang: "Brother talented, based on my performance in Yanzhou this time, uncle will definitely ask me to lead the army to fight, right?"

"If uncle still refuses at that time, you must say something nice for me!"

"What do you think uncle thinks? Cao Zixiu and I are not much different in age, and our martial arts skills are also similar. Why can he go out with the army, but I can't?"

"..."

Wu Liang always just smiled and didn't answer.

What's more, it doesn't count if he said it, it's useless to say more...

But that sentence may have hit the point. Maybe it was because Cao Ti was "not much different in age and martial arts from Cao Zixiu", so Boss Cao didn't let Cao Ti lead the army to fight?

In this way, the two of them came to the courtyard of the Cao Mansion together, and Cao Ting finally stopped babbling.

then.

They met Cao Ni who was throwing pots in the courtyard to relieve boredom.

"Sister Ni'er."

Cao Ting greeted with a smile.

"I met Brother An Min."

Cao Ni turned around and saw the two, a blush quietly appeared on her pretty face, Shi Shiran bowed to the two respectively, and said with a very ladylike soft smile, "I've seen Wu Sima."

"She's not feeling right today, go away!"

Cao Ting immediately whispered something to Wu Liang, pulled him up and walked quickly towards the inner courtyard as if fleeing.
