Chapter Twenty-Three: Benefits! (2/2)
The torture chamber was a little dim because of the structure of the room, and a few torches in the room illuminated the large room a little strangely.
Coupled with the splashing of buckets of water, dampness, stench, and a pampered attitude, Cao Chong has almost gone crazy!
What do you mean?
First Yang Huan died, and then the assassin also died, this case can't be investigated, hehe...... You're happy, aren't you?
Looking at Cao Chong's face, he has been in the officialdom for many years, where he doesn't know Cao Chong's thoughts, he can only shout in his heart: Bitter!
To tell the truth, although he wants to protect himself and doesn't want to participate in it, he can't kill the prisoner!
What's in it for me?
"Full of favor, your ability, the little nephew admires it so much, so he will leave first!" Cao Chong arched his hand towards Man Chong, and walked out of Xu Du Prison with an expressionless face.
Full of favor finally gave Zhou Budo a look, with some flattery in his desire.
Zhou Budo looked back and nodded.
For this Sikong's heart, he didn't dare to hate him, and he sighed, but he vented all his grievances on the jailer.
Rattan whip, iron whip, iron prison......
Eighteen kinds of martial arts were put into battle together, and even outside Xu Du's prison, he could hear the heart-rending screams......
On Xudu Xuanwu Avenue, surrounded by famous officials' mansions, princes and nobles, princes and generals have mansions here.
Sikong Cao Mansion, Yu Shi Dafu Confucian Mansion, Taiwei Yang Mansion, Jingzhao Yin Sima Mansion......
There are stone lions in front of the door, several Han stone seats, and flat marble slabs, which construct the prosperity of Xudu.
And at the end of Xuanwu Avenue is Sima Gate, which can only be entered and exited by the emperor!
At the same time, Xuanwu Avenue leads to the outer city, commercial area, Hualiu District, and civilian area......
During the Three Kingdoms period, such a city of tens of thousands of people could be regarded as a big city.
Zhou Budo followed Cao Chong closely, and did not disturb Cao Chong, just looked around, as if the bricks and tiles of this Xu Capital had infinite charm.
"Cangshu, I heard that there is another Qingqi person in Huamanlou, and I heard that the piano skills are superb, do you want to go and see it."
Cao Cheng suddenly stopped, stared back at Zhou Budo, and said, "Okay, you are straight, I'm so anxious, why do you still have the heart to find those merry people?"
"It's so lonely!" Zhou Budo put his head on his hands and pretended to be intoxicated.
"Come on, do you have any clue about this case?" If he doesn't arrest the people who hurt him, Cao Chong will have trouble sleeping.
"Clue, no!" Zhou is not suspicious of the single's stall hand.
"Don't you still think about the Qingqi people?" Cao Chong really wants to give this thing in front of him a burst!
Zhou Budo finally got serious and said, "I want to ask Childe, if you catch the real murderer, what should you do?"
"Disposal by national law!"
"What if that person is a commonplace relative, that is, your dearest?"
Zhou Budo's words knocked Cao Chong down, if he really lifted Cao Pi or Cao Zhi out, what could he do to them.
"Shall I just let them ravage at will?"
"Of course not!" Zhou Budo walked in front of Cao Chong at this time. "Has Childe ever seen a wolf?"
"I've seen it!" Nonsense, man and nature are not in vain.
"The wolf is a cunning animal, predation and selection are not strong prey, he will not choose buffalo and wild boar, let alone tigers, he attacks very quickly, and it is a fatal blow!"
"What does Wen Zhi mean?"
"The five senses Zhonglang General and the Marquis of Pingyuan are both Sikong flesh and blood, the key is that they have the support of the ministers and generals behind them, killing any of them will damage Sikong's strength, and now Sikong's southern expedition is imminent, what he wants is stability, to put it mildly, even if you die, Sikong will not bear it."
"But ......" Cao Chong's throat rolled, and he felt dry and speechless for a while.
"The southern expedition and the unification of the world are the long-cherished wishes of Sikong's life! And for us, the southern expedition is the general trend! ”
What a trend! Cao Chong clenched his fists, but let go like this, where would I, Cao Chong, be willing, if it weren't for Li Erzhou's husband, I would really die!
The general trend of bullshit!
"Didn't Childe find out? Except for Taizhong Doctor Kong Rong, did the others hardly go to the court? If there is, then they are all invited! ”
"Then why did they choose to kill me at this time?"
"When the wind and rain are turbulent, Sikong is also powerless!" Zhou Budo raised his head, knowing that he was going to teach Cao Chong a lesson.
"Wen Zhi, but I'm not reconciled, Li Er died in front of me on the spot, he died for me, I must avenge him!"
Cao Chong clenched his fists, and the way of thinking in the 21st century made Cao Chong desperate!
"Li Er died well, he died for his master, and won a good future for his family, he didn't lose money when he died, naturally, Cangshu, you don't owe him anything."
Zhou Budo knelt on the ground, fortunately, there were only a few subordinates on Xuanwu Avenue, and no one else, otherwise Zhou Budo might have to be watched.
"Childe, in the court, no minister is on the side of Childe, in the army, no general is a close confidant of Childe, if you want to fight for the position of the son, you must not only be fierce, but also learn to endure!"
"Shinobi?" I'm a vigorous young man, why should I endure it?
"That's right! endure until the childe's wings are growing, endure until the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and the generals in the army stand on the side of the childe. Zhou Budo already had tears in his eyes, and he knew that Cao Chong was difficult to accept for the carefree son.
"How long will that take? One year, three years, or ten years? Twenty years? Cao Chong stared at Zhou Budo and asked.
"It depends on current events!"
Cao Chong shook his head and said, "I can't wait so long, and I don't want to wait!"
The other party put the knife on his neck, and he still endures a fart?
"Childe, think twice!" Zhou Budo knelt on the ground, his head slammed hard, and even blood marks appeared.
"Wen Zhi, I know you're doing it for my good, get up quickly!" Cao Chong helped Zhou Budo up.
"But I also know that my father likes it, and he will not like a son who is forbearing."
This is not a casual statement, in history, Cao Cao did not like the forbearant Cao Pi, but after Cao Chong's death, Cao Zhi really couldn't support the wall, and Cao Cao could only choose Cao Pi.
"Alas~"
Zhou Budo sighed, in fact, he already had this premonition, his son-in-law was still young and vigorous!
However, that's why I follow him, isn't it?
"What I heard and saw today, there is no doubt that I already have some ideas!"
Zhou Budo got up, wiped the blood on his forehead and continued: "Yang Huan died in Xu Du Prison, but he was actually poisoned in the Yang Mansion, or even a long time ago, and this point must be thoroughly investigated Yang Huan's recent friends!"
"There are many situations in which the assassin died in Xu Du Prison, one is that Man Favor is the other party's person, so he does not leave him alive, the second is that someone buys the prisoner and kills the assassin, then Man Favor is credible, and the third is that he died a natural death, so there is no doubt."
"From last night to now, less than ten hours have passed, during which there are crossbows, hundreds of dead soldiers, and they are still under the rule of Xu Du, which shows that there are people under the account of the captain of the military academy who are opposite the person, and even the captain of the military academy is the person opposite!"
"In the lotus pond banquet, Sima Fu's banquet is also full of doubts, especially the part where Cangshu and Yang Huan compete for fame, which is obviously to pave the way for later things! In this way, the Sima family also has doubts! ”
"This involves the army's military captain, the Shangshutai in the court, the Taiwei Mansion, as well as Xu Du Yasi, Jing Zhaoyin, and Gongzi can be sure to investigate!"
Cao Chong took a deep breath, he was also a little hesitant now, as Zhou Budo said, how to review it is not only these forces on the surface.
It is estimated that most of Cao Cao's forces will be involved.
"Childe doesn't think it's strange, Chen Lin and his son are dead, why are they silent? Xun Lingjun's beloved son was seriously injured, why didn't he say a word? ”
Cao Chong stood silently on Xuanwu Avenue, at this time the sun was rising in the east, and the warmth of the sun soothed the earth, shining on Cao Chong, but he did not feel warm, but a little cold.
Is this politics?
Zhou Budo saw Cao Chong's silence and knew that he understood the stakes, although this brother was smart, he was only thirteen years old after all, and his political water was extraordinarily deep......
"Cangshu, do you still want to avenge Li Er?"
Cao Chong was silent for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes were not much different from the red wheel in the sky!
"Revenge will be avenged at any time, follow me Cao Chong, I won't let them be wronged!"
Zhou Budo was stunned for a moment, feeling that everything he said was in vain!
Rotten wood can't be carved!
"Don't disturb Wenzhi, this matter, on the surface, I won't investigate, but in private, I want to see who did it!"
After all, the general trend cannot be changed by manpower, unless he is like Cao Cao and can create a general trend.
Otherwise, you can only be pushed by it!
After Zhou Budo said something, Cao Chong understood the current situation, but Zhou Budo was an ancient man after all, and his vision was far less than Cao Chong's, the depth of 5,000 years of history, Cao Chong had more than Zhou Budo for 2,000 years!
Diplomacy with the country is nothing more than courtesy!
Similarly, fighting wits and courage with the cattle of the Three Kingdoms is nothing more than profit!
Cao Chong almost died, but he didn't die, although he was the biggest victim, he didn't lose half a catty of meat, but he stood on the moral high ground!
At this point, Cao Chong can seek some benefits for himself.
Zhou Budo is right, his foundation is almost zero, and Hong Taizu tells us a truth, power comes out of the barrel of a gun.
Cao Chong pondered, should we do military power?
