Chapter 180 The thief shouts to catch the thief
"Don't talk nonsense!" Cao Song grabbed Cao Cao by the lapel and dragged him in. Cao Cao was staggered and dragged into the house. When he saw the white-faced and beardless eunuch in front of him, Cao Song smiled at Song Dian and said : "This is my eldest son, Cao Cao, who is young and ignorant, and I hope Duke Song can speak a few words in front of His Majesty!"

Song Dian cast aside the somewhat rebellious black and thin dwarf in front of him who raised his head high, shook his head, and asked, "Are you Cao Cao?"

Cao Cao saluted casually and said, "I am!"

Cao Song kicked him on the rump and scolded: "I don't want to meet Song Gong yet! Song Gong is here to take you into the palace!"

"What?" Cao Cao shouted with horror on his face, "Father! I won't enter the palace! I don't want to be an eunuch!!"

Cao Song took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, but Song Dian laughed loudly and said, "This is a great love for you. After cleaning up with me, go to the palace to serve the emperor. What an honor! Ah." Cao Cao shook his head crazily, looked at Cao Song pitifully, and said, "Father, Erlang is still young, if you let me enter the palace, if anything happens to Erlang, my Cao family will never be able to succeed. It's gone!"

"roll!!"

Song Dian took Cao Cao, who was full of resentment, and slowly got into the bullock cart and walked towards the palace. Cao Cao was still a little worried in the bullock cart, and asked, "Aren't you really going to be a eunuch?" Song Dian shook his head , did not speak, Cao Cao was a little helpless, it seems that Qiao Xuan really complained in front of the emperor, this guy is so stingy, he pretends to be a famous minister!
After entering the palace, another pass was issued, and Song Dian led Cao Cao into the hall.

Cao Cao looked around curiously, until Song Dian beside him bowed respectfully, Cao Cao began to panic, a fat man who was not a few years older than himself was sitting opposite him, full of majesty, Cao Cao dared not confront him Seeing him, he quickly lowered his body, imitated Song Dian, bowed, and said: "Cao Cao, the common man, pay homage to Your Majesty!!"

The little fat man looked at the black and thin short man in front of him with a smile, waved his hand, and said, "Get up!"

Cao Cao got up immediately, looked at the little fat man secretly, and the little fat man got up and walked in front of him. Cao Cao raised his head in surprise, and the little fat man said, "You want to see the evil of the emperor? It's just like a human being. Four eyes and two mouths, but ears with destiny!" Cao Cao's eyes were shining, and after recollecting these words, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he felt a sense of admiration and confidant!
The little fat man was secretly happy, and said with a smile: "You don't have to restrain yourself, Grand Captain Qiao, do you recognize him?"

Cao Cao froze for a moment, nodded, and said, "The common people know their crimes!" Now, the little fat man was a little confused, and asked instead, "What is your crime?" Cao Cao raised his head and said, "The common people have revenge for their father. sin!"

"Then Qiao Xuan, he summoned students to discuss studies with his family, and I went with my friends, but he insulted my father, saying that it's a shame!"

"I couldn't bear my father's humiliation, so I confronted him face-to-face and abused him, and my words were not lacking in extremes, so I hope the emperor will punish him!"

The little fat man now understands. It seems that he thought that Qiao Xuan came to sue him. This kid is also smart. He directly used revenge to package his actions, and he decided that he was following the ram and would not punish him. crime!The little fat man had no choice but to say: "You underestimate the three princes in the court too much. Instead of telling about your crimes, Mr. Qiao said that you are a leader among young scholars in Luoyang. He recommends you to me!"

Cao Cao was startled and froze for a moment, before asking suspiciously, "He recommends me?"

"He said that you have a lot of talent and learning, and you speak well. It seems that you scolded him very hard that day!" The little fat man chuckled, and Cao Cao touched his head in frustration, and said, "The common people will go to Qiao Gong to plead guilty later. !"

The little fat man didn't answer, and said: "Since Qiao Xuan personally recommended you, I'm willing to use you." He said, but he was thinking in his heart, what kind of official position should be given to this young man, Cao Cao saluted heavily, and said: " I am not a common man, and I am willing to serve His Majesty!" The little fat man recalled the scriptures, but decided to follow the trend.

He said: "You go to the Luoyang county government to report, go to the county magistrate Zhou Yi, and become a northern captain. You are still young, and you can gradually promote yourself."

Cao Cao didn't feel any displeasure, he possessed himself and bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

He raised his head, his eyes gradually became solemn, but his demeanor was still a little immature. The little fat man took him to chat for a while, and secretly marveled in his heart. It can still be seen that he is good, his speech is appropriate, and his sentences are clear. The little fat man only talked with him for a while, and he appreciated him even more.

When Cao Cao came out of the palace, he couldn't help feeling that he might be the only county lieutenant who had met the emperor in the whole big man. He walked into the county government office with a smile, up to the county magistrate, Everyone knew this person from the next generation to the pawns. After all, he came here very diligently, and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao also became regular customers with him.

However, as Yuan Shao grew older, he was already a well-known scholar in Luoyang, and he didn't come here often. Only Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were still notorious scourges in Luoyang. Luoyang has never been short of such evils. Decades ago, Liu Shu, Marquis of Jieduting, former Taiwei Liu Ju, and Situ Hexiu were called the three evils of Luoyang.

He is also often a frequent visitor to the county government.

Now, the three evils have become Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao.

I don't know who it will be in the future?
Knowing that Cao Cao was going to be the northern captain of Luoyang, everyone in the county government was stunned. What is this, the thief who has been arrested all year round has become the leader of the soldiers?You know, many of the soldiers under the Luoyang Northern Commandant have arrested Cao Cao many times. What is this called? There is no way to object.

After Zhou Yi explained a few words to him, he immediately kicked him out, out of sight and out of mind!

After Cao Cao became an official, he seemed to be a different person. He no longer did anything wrong, nor did he pursue the rude behavior of his subordinates to him back then. He even started wearing official uniforms and patrolling around Luoyang, because he himself It's just that he wanders around for drinking, night shows and other illegal places all year round. Therefore, when he leads a team to patrol, he always makes great achievements, and his strikes never fail.

Regarding this, those Luoyang rangers who were arrested were very helpless. The people who followed you in violation of law and discipline a few days ago suddenly took someone to arrest you wearing an official uniform, and the evidence is very convincing, Cao Cao said Yes, that day, I played with you personally, this is the best proof!The rangers were speechless and speechless, and were arrested one after another.

Immediately, security in Luoyang was good.

It's just that Yuan Shu suffered because he was caught by Cao Cao four times in a month and was almost beaten to death by Yuan Feng.

But in his heart he hated this ruthless Cao Aman.
