Hearing Cao Song say this, Cao Hao also felt lucky.

Fortunately, the girl born to Ida was taken over by Ada's sister to raise her, if she was raised in Jiangning or the capital, even if she didn't see anyone in the boudoir, her family might not be used to it.

As far as he knows, among the five Wei Wenjie brothers and sisters, the youngest Wen Qiang and Wen Ying's two biological mothers are Nanyang. It's just that at this time, Luzon was mostly a remnant of the previous dynasty, and it was no different from the Qing people. Moreover, she is still a young lady from a middle-class family, not a singer and a girl.

Although Wei Ren was absurd when he was young, he was taught by Confucianism for many years. Although there are more than a dozen concubines, not all of them are qualified to have children for him.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao thought of Ada's sister.

Listening to the news from Guangzhou, Ida's sister has now inherited the family business and is already very famous in the Nanyang area. For his niece, he also treats him as his own and is well educated.

Wei Xin...... Cao Hao had dreamed several times that Wei Xin came back on an ocean-going ship and braged to himself about how America was going to be...... However, year after year, Cao Hao also knew how slim that hope was......* Cao Jia had only returned to the General Military Mansion this time, and Cao Hao did not take the initiative to find him.

Nowadays, in the peaceful years, coupled with the promotion of bud grain and double season wheat, the emperor attaches great importance to local grain storage, and local granaries are no longer as ornaments as in the past.

Even if drought and flood disasters occur in three or five provinces, the foundation of the imperial court will not be shaken.

If the people of Hongmen are really smart, they should choose to continue to wait for the opportunity; Now, if you have a hard time with Li Wei, you will really kill yourself.

Although there are many Hongmen family members in Pangjia Village, what is the sin of sixty old women and infant babies?

Cao Hao didn't want Li Wei to engage in iron-blooded and strain in Jiangning, because some of them had to involve Cao Song, who was the chief soldier.

Even if he was born at this time, in the officialdom, and rarely saw blood, Cao Hao didn't have to let his cousin use someone else's surname to seek credit.

Others don't know, but he knows his cousin's heart.

On the surface, it looks very arrogant, reckless and rude, but in fact, it is very pitiful for the poor and the weak.

If it is someone else, I can't wait to make "war exploits", and use the blood of others to dye the red crown, where does it care if the people live or die; But Cao Song will never be rare for such feats.

Before Chinese New Year's Eve, Cao Jia went out twice more, but Cao Jia still let it go and didn't care about him.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Cao Jia finally stepped into Cao Hao's courtyard.

Cao Jia is in his early fifties, and because he is a martial artist, his body has always been very healthy, and he originally looked like a person in his forties. I haven't seen him for a few days, he seems to be a teenager old, showing a bit of old age.

It seems that he is really in trouble this time.

His eyes were bloodshot, his expression was extremely solemn, and the moment he saw Cao Hao, there was a bit of begging in his eyes.

Seeing this, Cao Hao was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly sent all the servants waiting in the house down.

Cao Jia's face showed a little pale, and he knelt down slowly in front of Cao Hao.

Where could Cao Hao allow him to kneel, step forward, and want to help him up.

Cao Jia shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether the master can help or not, the villain is selfish, and it is already a big deal to mention this difficult matter to the master, where is there still the face to stand and speak." ”

Cao Hao saw that his face was resolute, and said solemnly: "Great offering, if you insist, I won't dare to listen to it." I have long said that the Cao family will not lose a big offering, and the Cao people will not lose a big offering. I will do my best, and I will not shirk; There is nothing I can do, and I can only do nothing. What the hell is going on, you still say it bluntly, right? ”

Cao Jiaben was not a verbose person, and when he saw Cao Hao say this, he stood up.

He took a deep breath and said, "Master, Master Li is the wanted bandit leader Wan Fu, who is the old man of the villain. His grandfather was kind to the villain, and the villain wanted to save him. ”

Sometimes, it is more difficult to repay the favor than to take revenge, especially the object of "repaying the favor" is still the "bandit leader" who is not allowed by the imperial court.

Although Cao Hao was prepared in his heart, he didn't expect that the person Cao Jia wanted to protect was the number one on Li Wei's wanted warrant.

It's not hard to be someone else; In this Wan Fu, even Cao Hao didn't dare to pack a ticket.

Cao Hao was silent for a while, and said, "In addition to selling illicit salt, Wan Fuke has also committed other major crimes?" Were the two salt mill owners who were annexed by him killed by him, or were they Hongmen's own people? ”

Hearing Cao Hao mention the word "Hongmen", Cao Jia raised his head suddenly, with a little surprise on his face. Immediately, it gradually eased up, since Cao Hao and Li Wei had a good personal relationship, it was not unusual for Cao Hao to know Wan Fu's true identity.

"Rest assured, my lord, Wanfu is not evil. The villain inquired clearly, he grew up in Qiongzhou as a child, and came to Jiangnan when he was a teenager. Those two salt mills were originally the properties that his elders had placed in their early years, and they were not taking away other people's property. Cao Jia said.

"Elders? Is he a member of Wanyun Dragon's clan? Cao Hao asked.

The so-called identity of "Wan Yunlong's son", Cao Hao does not believe it.

Wan Yunlong was breathed by him, and it was in the forty years of Kangxi. If there is really a son left, the age is not the same as this Wanfu.

"He is Wan Yunlong's nephew, and after Wan Yunlong was gone, he left a nephew, who is the father of Wanfu. Although the father of Wanfu gathered some of Wan Yunlong's subordinates, he hid. But it is not long-lived, and it will be gone in a few years. Wan Fu was raised as a young master, because there was no elder to teach, the child was a little ignorant of the height of the sky, and did not know the majesty of the court. Originally, he would not have made such a big fuss, because he was picked up, he wanted to learn from the Huang family, worship under Lord Li, and in order to appear weighty, he supported people to confront Lord Li. Unexpectedly, he reaped the consequences and let Master Li copy the old nest. Those people were not all in the same league as him, and when the chaos broke out, he was a little out of control. Cao Jia said.

The Huang family that Cao Jia said is the Huang family where the prototype of Huang Tianba is located in the later romances.

His family was originally a waterway wharf to transport darts, and he was very influential in Yangzhou City. By the time Huang Tianba arrived, he was already the third generation.

When Huang Tianba was a teenager, he relied on the power of his family and worshiped with a few young friends, and he did a lot of things to bully men and women and seek industry. It's just that because several of them are big local households, naturally some people swept their tails, but they didn't cause any big trouble.

It happened that Shi Shilun, the prefect of Yangzhou, wanted to remove this harm for the people of Yangzhou, so he designed to capture Huang Tianba.

I don't know what Shi Shilun said, the young and enthusiastic Huang Tianba decided to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", personally pointed out the three "righteous brothers", helped the government, and questioned the three gentlemen who harmed the people.

Since then, Huang Tianba has been attached to Shi Shilun and has become the doorman of the Shi family.

It wasn't until two years ago that Shi Shilun died of illness, and Huang Tianba took his apprentices and grandchildren back to Yangzhou to settle the situation.

With the support of the Shi family, his two sons have become famous, and several older grandsons have also become famous.

Even Huang Tianba himself is also a third-grade general.

In more than 30 years, the Huang family has become an official eunuch from a flat-headed ordinary person who earns hard-earned money, and has also become a legendary figure in Jiangnan.

Cao Hao listened to this explanation, and only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh.

He had long felt that this Hongmen's actions were too strange, and he actually fought with the government in a big way, but it turned out that it was only because of Wanfu.

"What do I think I can do?" Cao Hao is colorful.

If there is such a big commotion, it is not something that can be avoided with a word.

Regardless of whether Wan Fu really wants to defect to the government or is untruthful, the situation is no longer up to him.

Even Li Wei may not be able to make full decisions.

Since the founding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Han people have been very strictly guarded, and in the Qing Dynasty, it is a capital crime for the Han people to assemble ten people for no reason.

Pangjia Village, but it is the family of Hongmen, and they dare to use weapons against the officers and soldiers.

How can Yongzheng tolerate it?

The Cao family is not as good as the Jinghai Marquis Mansion back then, and Wanfu's identity is many times heavier than Huang Tianba. If it is said that the Cao family can shelter Wanfu at this time, it is beyond their strength.

Cao Hao wants to repay Cao Jia for his hard work in guarding him for more than ten years, but he will not repay him by pressing all his net worth.

"I didn't dare to embarrass the master, I just wanted to ask the master to ask for a word in front of Master Li. If not, I will tell him to leave this stall, go back to Qiongzhou for refuge, or go to Nanyang, and finally save his life. Cao Jia said.

Speaking of which, this is really not too difficult to do.

The only thing that can make Cao Hao embarrassed is the relationship between Cao Jia and Wan Fu.

If Cao Jia is really from the Hongmen and is revealed, maybe the Cao family will be dragged into the water.

But the father's prudence should not do such a thing to leave a calamity to his grandchildren.

Cao Hao looked at Cao Jia, pondered for a while, and said: "Great offering, please forgive me for asking more, could it be that the great offering is the same as Mr. Zhuang, and he also deserved to be the 'emperor' in his early years?" ”

That's all he can think of.

Whoever let the Cao family be the eyes and ears of the Cao family in Jiangnan in the early years, and it is normal for some people arranged by the royal family to be around.

Mr. Zhuang's staff member, undercover in Suo'etu Mansion for 20 years; This Cao Jia is a Jianghu person, and it seems possible that he will be mixed with Hongmen.

When Cao Jia heard this, his face immediately changed.

He looked at Cao Hao, let out a long breath, and said, "That's it." The master's caution is no less than that of the master, if the villain hides it, it will make the master feel heartbroken. ”

He was originally a direct subordinate person, the youngest son of a clothed family.

At the age of five, he was sent by his father and brother to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as an alternate child, and after five years of secret study, he was sent to Fujian at the age of ten.

As a homeless orphan, he joined Hongmen, and was later accepted by Wan Yunlong as his adopted son.

Fifteen years later, he joined forces with several other partners who infiltrated Hongmen to launch the Hongmen civil strife, poisoning Wan Yunlong, the owner of Hongmen, and causing Hongmen forces to fall apart.

Later, he was critically injured and recuperated for several years.

Although he completed his mission, he was left homeless. After all, in the eyes of his parents, he had already "died" for many years.

Although the world is big, there is nowhere to go; In addition to fighting and killing, he has no skills, and can only wander like a lost dog......*
