Cao Zhen's words also became serious, since the fifth son Cao Xiong wanted to tear his skin apart, he didn't need to flatter him!
Chapter 201 The Dirty Deal
"We pay five times the tax in Jicheng! Prefect Cao Zhen is amazing!"
Cao Xiong wrestled his fingers and said while counting: "I remember Jicheng, which is famous for benevolence, and my father gave a special order not to pay taxes... Uh, where did the prefect Cao Zhen receive the five times the tax?"
At the end of the speech, Cao Xiong's voice suddenly became heavier.
One word at a time, but every word is sonorous and powerful, without anger and prestige!
It's hard to imagine that such a vibrating sound came from the mouth of a fifteen or six-year-old son.
Cao Zhenxin secretly said: "I really underestimated this fifth son! He doesn't know what he wants to manage is begging for food!"
As Cao Cao's adopted son, Cao Zhen often went to Sikong's residence when he was young, but Cao Cao's fifth son, Cao Xiong, he had no memory of him at all!
Never heard of it?
There are no rumors either!
But today, the aura that the fifth son showed in front of him, how could he lose to Cao Cao's three most valued sons?
I'm afraid even Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi would not dare to speak like this in front of him?
You must know that what is behind him is the interests of the members of the Cao family!
Cao Zhen suddenly sneered.
"Fifth Young Master, let's open the skylight and speak honestly!"
Pick up the teacup beside you and drink it up in one gulp!
"The purpose of your coming here is not to ask for food? You report the number! According to the market price! I, Cao Zhen, have collected it for you! But don't meddle in the matter of Jicheng! You are also our Cao family It was my fault that I didn't give you a share in the past. After a few days, I will pay the tax and I will make it up for you! Not bad!"
snort!
Just a fifth son!
Even if you take gold ingots, smashing them will throw you off the boat!
After Cao Zhen finished speaking, he stared fixedly at Cao Xiong's eyes, trying to see some wavering in his eyes.
But he was disappointed, Cao Xiong's eyes were like spring water, clear and peaceful!
There is no trace of joy or waves!
Cao Xiong smiled slightly.
"The north is initially set, and the grain and grass in the hands of the big family are not easy for us to forcefully collect?"
"You don't need to worry about the fifth son! The fifth son will report the number!"
"Sure enough, it's exactly what I think! The Jicheng clan has accumulated a lot of grain! Let me just say, as long as our lord Cao Zhen steps forward, we can easily solve the problem. How about it! 50 shi !how?"
Cao Xiong's words sounded in Cao Zhen's ears, it seemed that his fifth son Cao Xiong accepted his deal!
"Okay! That's it! The fifth son returned to Yecheng to receive the reward, 50 shi, grain and grass, and he will arrive soon!"
Cao Zhen didn't soften his tone, but he was very happy in his heart!
Buying peace of mind with 50 stones of grain and grass is a bit expensive, but it can be regarded as sending away this great god!
At least this benevolent hat can still be kept!
"and many more!"
Cao Xiong said: "Who is following you like this? Master Cao Zhen, what I mean is that after seven days, all the clans in Jicheng must raise 50 shi of grain! I will buy it at the market price! Otherwise, start with the big clans first! Copy the house!"
big clan?Copy the house?
Cao Zhen was taken aback!
What does this mean?
Isn't this deal a good deal?
Why did these five sons turn their faces and deny anyone?
The fifth son, Cao Xiong, saw that he was puzzled, and whispered:
"Master Cao Zhen, I just want to test you, whether you can get 50 stone grains. I never thought that I would have to work hand in hand with you, a thief, a snake and a mouse!"
"you!"
If it wasn't for the fact that Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong was an imperial envoy, Cao Zhen really wanted to draw out his long sword and chop him off!
"Master Cao Zhen, it's easy to go, the fifth son will not see you off! See you in seven days!"
The fifth son Cao Xiong waved his hand, and it was regarded as an order to drive away the guests!
Chapter 202
Cao Zhen looked at Cao Xiong fiercely, and was played by this kid again!
The prefect Cao Zhen walked away angrily!
Muttering non-stop!
Want to visit the muddy waters of Jicheng?
Ha ha!
I let you fall into it so deep that you can't even pull it out!
forage?You don't even think about asking for a stone!
Sue the prefect to Prime Minister Cao?
hum!
Only the dead will help the prefect to take the blame!
Cao Zhen yelled at Cao Xiong!
If it wasn't for the fact that the fifth son, Cao Xiong, was also named Cao, Cao Zhen would have scolded his [-]th generation ancestors all over the place!
However, his surname is Cao!Cao Zhen is also surnamed Cao!
Scolding, scolding is not happy!
I'm so aggrieved!
Seeing Cao Zhen leave angrily, Cao Xiong held his head with his hands, and his thoughts drifted into the live broadcast room.
in the live room.
Ying Zheng: "I don't know why, but when I saw this Cao Zhen, I just wanted to beat him up!"A flat face! 』
Xiang Yu: "Fish people!This king looks down on such officials the most! 』
Liu Bang: "This may be his way of life. There is a saying that the wealth of the rich is built on the pain of the poor!" 』
Yang Guang: "Anchor, you have to be careful!"This Cao Zhen cannot be underestimated!I'm afraid he is already discussing countermeasures with the clans! 』
Li Shimin: "Yang Guang, you are not smart enough!"We anchors are just waiting for their countermeasures! 』
Cao Xiong: "Hey!I have a plan!Let them obediently hand over the food and grass, and dare not talk about collecting taxes again! 』
At this moment, Lingju walked slowly to Cao Xiong's side.
Seeing that Cao Xiong seemed to be dozing off, he touched him.
It turned out that out of consideration for Cao Xiong's safety, she did not go far.
Cao Xiong quickly regained his thoughts.
Lingju asked slowly: "Fifth Young Master, do you think these clans will give up and admit defeat?"
Cao Xiong smiled lightly.
"Of course not! I gave them seven days, but it's just to let them show their feet!"
……
the other side.
Cao Zhen urgently called all the clans in Jicheng over.
"How can there be such a reason! How can there be such a reason!"
I have heard Cao Xiong tell the whole story.
The clans were furious one by one.
"What the hell is he, Cao Xiong? He wants to beg for food? He also wants to take care of our Jicheng's taxes and food? Could it be that a 15-year-old doll is in charge of this big Jicheng?" Liu Changhai paced back and forth!Said angrily.
Liu Changhai is the patriarch of the Liu family among the three major clans in Jicheng.
Sitting on the left and right sides of him are the patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Yonggang; and the patriarch of the Qi family, Qi Yufeng.
Zhao Yonggang shook the folding fan vigorously, as if the cold wind blowing could make him cooler.
"We just let him not get any food! How dare he do anything to us? Could it be that he is a son, and he really dares to steal our house? We are backed by the Cao family!"
Qi Yufeng shook his head!
"This statement is wrong! Although we have the support of the Cao family behind us, our Cao family does not include Prime Minister Cao! If these five sons are really stabbed to Prime Minister Cao's side, then none of our backers can be relied on Heck!"
Qi Yufeng is the youngest among the three patriarchs, but he is often the most thoughtful.
On many decisions, the other two family heads, including Cao Zhen, would also let him advise.
"Brother Qi, you can help the old brothers!" Zhao Yonggang asked.
Liu Changhai has a more irritable temper.
"What's the use of thinking, let's call our servants and nurses, and take the five young masters with one blow! Slap him in the face with the big ear scraper!"
"No!" Cao Zhen stood up at this moment. "This is Prime Minister Cao's Fifth Young Master. You think he is an insignificant fellow! If he dies, we in Jicheng will have to be buried with him!"
"Alas!" Zhao Yonggang was completely aggrieved, "I can't kill it, and I don't want to give it! You guys have an idea!"
Cao Zhen shook his head secretly
idea!
If you have an idea, I will still use it to find the three of you!
At this moment.
Qi Yufeng persuaded: "Everyone calm down, there is no way!"
Chapter 203
"What?" The other three said in unison.
"Baili is in a hurry, ask Mr. Cao Pi for countermeasures!"
Right!
Cao Zhen slapped his brains!
Mr. Cao Pi is the one with the most respected status in their transfer of benefits.
As the eldest son of Cao Cao, without his acquiescence, how would Cao Zhen dare to raise taxes privately, and how would the big family members dare to openly refuse to hand over food and grass!
The biggest reliance behind them is the second son Cao Pi!
"I'm going to write a letter right now, asking Mr. Cao Pi what to do!"
