"No! He won't give Cao Xiong a stone of food! The north is initially set, where did Cao Xiong have the guts to copy the house of a big family!"
Cao Hong suddenly thought of something again.
"However, Jicheng has to slow down the collection of taxes for the time being. The previous five times tax payment made Cao Zhen find a way to pour dirty water on other people. It would be better to make more noise. Cao Zhen rectified the administration of Jicheng officials, It is understandable for an official to die, and there is no proof for his death, as long as there is no reason to pinch him, let's see what Fifth Young Master can do."
That's all for Cao Hong's words.
All the people surnamed Cao nodded in praise.
If this is the case, even if his fifth son, Cao Xiong, has great abilities, there is nothing he can do!
Didn't he want to swim in the muddy waters of Jicheng?
Let's turn the muddy water of Jicheng into a clear pool of water. There is nothing to investigate and nothing to sue. Let's see what Cao Xiong will do!
Cao Zhi also added: "You also need to tell Cao Zhen that you must act like you are taking care of the people during this time!
My fifth younger brother will definitely not stay long!
If he exposes the matter of Jicheng in front of his father, there is no evidence, we have so many mouths, and we will definitely not be able to shake our interests! "
Cao Zhi's words undoubtedly improved Cao Hong's strategy.
snort!
Fifth younger brother Cao Xiong, you will come back sooner or later in despair.
Cao Zhi's hatred for Cao Xiong remained undiminished.
Cao Pi nodded and took out his pen and paper.
I was about to write a reply receipt, but suddenly thought of something.
"This receipt has to be written by our uncle, General Cao Hong, and we all sign our names. After Cao Zhen sees it, he will act according to the plan."
Cao Pi handed the pen and paper to Cao Hong.
Just a letter!
What's the matter!
Cao Hong took the pen and wrote.
Specially emphasized that "Jicheng must refuse to collect food!" He also wrote down the subsequent plan in detail.
Where the pen is written, sign your name.
Cao Pi greeted the other generals and brothers to sign his name.
So far, a secret letter jointly signed by the Cao family has been written.
Because Jicheng is related to the interests of many people, their letters to Cao Zhen have always been written jointly.This is not surprising.
for safety!
Cao Pi handed it back to the confidant messenger sent by Cao Zhen!
Instruct him carefully to deliver it to Cao Zhen himself.
See him get on his horse and leave.
The stone that was raised in my heart fell down.
Cao Pi didn't know that the hanging stone was still swaying a lot!
……
the other side.Inside Jicheng.
Because of Cao Xiong's "be kind and generous" plaque, the three major clans have suffered a lot of grievances these days.
Every time it was time to eat, thousands of people named Hanako rushed in.
Still only looking for food.
Come down like this.
How could the three major clans of Jicheng survive.
In the end, they compromised.
Not only in the process of serving porridge at home, the quality and quantity are guaranteed!
Dozens of porridge sheds were even added at the entrances of their respective homes!
Just for this group of beggars not to break into their mansion.
Seeing that the three major clans are like this, the rest of the officials who are obedient and obedient, how dare they neglect them.
Send rice and wheat to the porridge shed with a stone stone!
The porridge that was originally like clear water has become thick and flavorful.
The poor people in Jicheng finally don't have to go hungry.
Cao Xiong looked at all this with satisfaction, and thought to himself:
"This is all temporary! After a few more days, the sky in Jicheng will change!"
Chapter 206 Ledger
During the few days, Cao Xiong took Xu Chu to visit the old beggar Tong Yuan many times, but the news he got was that Senior Tong Yuan had left Jicheng.
Ask carefully to know.
Tong Yuan was not originally from Jicheng, but after his lower limbs were crippled, he heard that Hua Tuo appeared in Nanpi!So he hired a few people to take him to Nanpi to seek medical treatment.
When passing through Jicheng, I saw that a large number of people in the city had to be reduced to beggars.
With benevolence and righteousness in his heart, he united these beggars and negotiated with the officers and soldiers several times, so he found a place for these beggars in the west of the city!
Otherwise, the only thing waiting for the poor people in Jicheng is death!
Now, the fifth son, Cao Xiong, is stirring up the situation in Jicheng.
Tong Yuan was very relieved and left quietly.
Before leaving, he entrusted Xiao Maozi to give Cao Xiong a ledger.
Opening the account book, it turns out that it is the specific name for the people of Jicheng to pay five times the tax!
And these money and food, to whom should we honor each other!
Cao Xiong spent half a day examining it carefully!
It's shocking!
It turns out that so many generals of the Cao family are so closely related to the interests of Jicheng!
There are even generals whom his father Cao Cao relies heavily on.
Cao Xiong held the ledger tightly.
This small book is enough to shake the officialdom in Jicheng!
……
Cao Xiong stipulated that there was only one day left to raise food and grass!
Fifty miles away from Jicheng, in the suburbs!
Da da da!
One person and one horse run fast!
From the appearance, it was the confidant messenger who sent the letter from Cao Zhen's mansion to Yecheng six days ago!
There was a pair of eyes that clearly remembered his appearance.
The messenger has not slept for several days, and his eyes are already very tired.
But even so, he knew that the letter in his arms was of great importance!
What's more, Cao Pi in Yecheng rewarded him a lot.
"what!"
Why is the only way to enter Jicheng blocked by a big tree?
On the road in front of the courier, several large horizontal trees blocked the way forward.
People may be able to climb over it, but horses can't get over it no matter what!
Detour?
The messenger was thinking, if he made a detour now, it might be delayed for another two days!
Hey!
"When you get money from someone, you have to deliver the letter."
The messenger got off his horse and simply climbed over the tall tree.
I plan to run the last fifty miles with my own two legs!
Just turned over.
A girl appeared in front of him.
Long hair fluttering, thin figure, beautiful face like a nine-day fairy descended to earth!
The messenger can't care less about admiring her stunning beauty now.
Because by her side, there is a maroon Dawan horse!
"Girl, my master wants this steed!"
"Okay!"
Unexpectedly, the girl readily agreed.
The messenger took out a bag of coins from his pocket, threw it over, and went to lead the horse.
"It seems that there is a little less!"
The girl said slowly.
few?
These coins are enough to buy two such horses!
The messenger frowned slightly. "The girl offered a price?"
"This girl wants you—
——The letter in my arms! "
Soft and nice voice!
The voice just fell.
Like a gust of wind, the girl passed by in an instant, her body almost clinging to the messenger.
When he looked at the messenger again, there was already a smear of bright red on his neck!
The whole person, his eyes widened, fell over!
The girl had no expression on her face. She had been used to this kind of assassination since she was a child.
go!Death!
She is the most outstanding assassin in Wenhou Temple, Lingju!
Lingju found the blood-stained reply letter from the messenger's arms, and then smiled.
Get on a fast horse and go!
