Chapter 209 Five Thousand Stones of Food and Grass

Cao Xiong deliberately asked: "What does Master Cao Zhen mean? It's the order from my envoy to raise 50 stones of food and grass, and you refuse to carry it out?"

"The fifth son's order, how dare we not carry it out!"

Cao Zhen's face was like a clay figurine, and he changed as soon as he said it. At this moment, he had an extremely aggrieved expression!

"In order to raise food and grass, Xiaguan really begged grandpa to tell grandma, and that's how he got...five..."

Cao Xiong interrupted with a smile: "50 shi?"

Cao Zhen shook his head.

"Fifty thousand stone?"

Cao Zhen shook his head again.

Cao Xiong simply stopped guessing and played riddles with this old fox!It's strange to get food!

Seeing that Cao Xiong didn't speak.

Cao Zhen waved his hand! "Please come in, the three patriarchs!"

Behold, the door is open!

In the eyes of civil and military officials in Jicheng, the three patriarchs walked into the Yangui Tower first.

Following them were carts carrying food and grass!

The cart was full of food and grass.

There are a thousand stones on each car!

Xu Chu nodded with a satisfied smile. After all, he had gathered all the food and grass, and he fulfilled his mission!

However, when five carts full of grain and grass came in.

Xu Chu's smile stopped abruptly!

Because after five wheelers, there will be no more!

in other words!Cao Xiong asked for 50 shi of food and grass, and these clans raised [-] shi!

What about the poor beggar?

Five thousand stones is not enough to consume a 30 army for a day!

Xu Chuman's face was gloomy, obviously a little angry!

Looking at Cao Xiong, he looked relaxed, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all!

Strictly speaking, Cao Xiong was a little bit surprised, because he thought that these clans would not give him a stone of food and grass!

Five thousand stones, a little bit higher than expected!

Not bad!

Cao Xiong thought to himself.

But he asked: "Are you the patriarchs of the three major families in Jicheng?"

"Exactly!" The three said in unison!

"Didn't Master Cao Zhen convey the words of this imperial envoy clearly?"

"Clearly!"

Qi Yufeng replied calmly. "The imperial envoy wants us to raise 50 shi of grain and grass, and your lord will buy it at the market price!"

Cao Xiong continued to ask: "Since you know it's 50 shi, if you take out [-] shi, you are despising this imperial envoy and Prime Minister Cao!"

"Don't dare!" Qi Yufeng seemed to have expected Cao Xiong to ask such a question.

"It's not that we don't prepare the 50 shi for food and grass, it's because the three of us together only have these [-] shi!"

Hearing this, Cao Xiong pouted!

This reason is impeccable!

"Then I will go to your mansion to search!"

Qi Yufeng made a gesture of invitation, "Zhao, Liu, and Qi's family have opened all the mansions and warehouse doors, waiting for the imperial envoy to search!"

Ho!

Really prepared!

Qi Yufeng's words were rigorous, without missing a single trace!

Every sentence seems to be prepared in advance!

Cao Xiong looked at this Qi Yufeng, from his aura, Cao Xiong sensed a shrewdness!

He secretly thought: "Could it be that he is helping Cao Zhen to make suggestions?"

"Never mind!"

Cao Xiong waved his hand! "Since the patriarch said so and did so, what else can I find?"

Cao Xiong knew about the food hiding of the three major families.

But exactly where it was hidden, even the Huben army couldn't find out!

Qi Yufeng also waved his hand.

"Sponsoring Prime Minister Cao's trip to the south, our three families are obliged! How dare you ask for money and food from the imperial envoy, the five thousand grain and grass, it's up to the three of us to give it to Prime Minister Cao!"

Qi Yufeng looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Chapter 210

Ho!

So generous!

A mere five thousand stones of grain and grass has earned a reputation for generous donations!

kindness!

The water in Jicheng is really unfathomable!

However, today!

I!Fifth son, Cao Xiong, must turn the muddy waters of your Jicheng upside down!

sudden.

Cao Xiong smiled.

Smile at everyone!

The smile is so bright.

Cao Zhen, the patriarchs of the three major families, and the civil and military officials of Jicheng were all stunned!

In the current situation, Cao Xiong has lost the upper hand twice?Why laugh?

In the live broadcast room, the barrage of the emperors also catered to the clarion call of the charge!

Ying Zheng: "Crush them!" 』

Liu Bang: "Ming repairs the plank road and secretly hides Chen Cang!"rush! 』

Xiang Yu: "Break everything, kill them all!" 』

Temujin: "The day the city is destroyed is the day when the city is slaughtered!" 』

"Lingju! Bring the letter!"

Cao Xiong withdrew his smile, and suddenly, his face became extremely serious!

Lingju handed a blood-stained letter from his sleeve to him.

Cao Xiong asked sharply: "Let me ask you again? Can we raise 50 shi for food and grass?"

This……

Liu Changhai and Zhao Yonggang were shocked when they saw the letter!

Is it possible?The letter we sent to Mr. Cao Pi was intercepted by the fifth son?

No wonder, have not received a reply!

But just relying on a letter?Just trying to coerce us?

Liu Changhai snorted coldly, "Our family has taken out all the food that our family has. If the fifth son doesn't like it, the Liu family will not hesitate to give it away!"

Zhao Yonggang agreed! "Just five thousand, no matter how much more, there is not a single stone!"

Qi Yufeng was in a hurry.

He was not worried that Cao Zhen's letter sent to Yecheng was intercepted; if it was the other way around, the letter sent back to Jicheng by the second son Cao Pi was intercepted, then the problem would be serious.

Thinking of this, Qi Yufeng didn't say a word, but some cold sweat secretly broke out behind him.

This worry was not only thought of by Qi Yufeng, but also by Cao Zhen!

Cao Zhen's entire back was soaked!

But don't!

Cao Xiong handed the letter to Xu Chu.

"Marquis of Guannei, you don't know these characters, how about the fifth son come and read them to you?"

Xu Chu was also curious.

The fifth son took out a letter at this time, what kind of mystery is he doing?

Immediately replied:

"Our Huben army are all rough men, and we don't know a lot of big characters. If the fifth young master reads it out, it will give us a lot of insight in the Huben camp."

Cao Xiong picked up the letter and was about to read it when he suddenly stopped.

"Forget it, forget it, this letter is too long, let Master Cao Zhen read it.

Marquis of Guannei, please excuse me for your suffering.You hold it up and let Master Cao Zhen read it to us! "

Cao Xiong ordered.

Although Xu Chu didn't know what the fifth son was up to, he followed his instructions and brought the letter to Cao Zhen.

It's okay if you don't look at it!

At a glance, Cao Zhen staggered and almost fell to the ground!

This font, which he is very familiar with, was written by his uncle, General Cao Hong.

At the signing place, there are six handwritings, each with their own names: Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun!

What about the content?

In the first half of the article, there are eight big words: "Jicheng must refuse to collect food!"

The second half of the chapter is a lengthy talk, telling Cao Zhen how to deal with the past five sons and keep the high taxes in Jicheng and the interests of the Cao family members!

God!

This desperate letter was placed in front of Cao Zhen.

How dare he read it?

He hesitated and couldn't utter a word.

But his eyes couldn't stop looking down, the more he looked, the more nervous he felt, and he trembled all over at the end!

This letter, if the fifth son is handed over to Prime Minister Cao.

It's not just him, Cao Zhen, the three major families, I am afraid that the second son Cao Pi, the third son Cao Zhang, the fourth son Cao Zhi, and the generals: Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, and countless members of the Cao family's interest chain will all be killed. Cao Cao severely punished!
