Chapter nine hundred and thirty-ninth the law of survival
The Cao family's condolence banquet shocked the court officials. The officials gave the Cao family too much honor and were too high for Cao Wei's posthumous honor. But to be honest, everyone can see Cao Wei's contributions, and no one complained about this strong condolence.
Cao Qi stood on the high steps at the entrance of Cao's mansion and thanked every colleague who came. The handsome and gentleman appearance made the courtiers praise his demeanor. Pang Ji took the two husbands to leave first, and when he walked, he patted Cao Qi on the shoulder meaningfully and said, "The Cao family is not easy!"
The five concise words made Cao Sheng very alert. Obviously, this husband understood the profound meaning of the official family, and his actions were about to speed up!
After seeing off all the court officials, Cao Qi strode into the backyard, sat down in the hall and picked up the herbal tea on the table to drink. His wife Wang stepped forward and complained, "What if you drink this herbal tea in the cold weather? What if you burn the disease?!"
Cao Qi shook his head and said, "It is better to die of illness than to die of anger. My brother gave my life to such an honor, but he almost ruined our little beast. He could send a message back to the Zhending Lingshou ancestral home and lure Cao to me to escort him into the capital!"
Wang was shocked and shouted: "Master is crazy! Yu'er is far away in Zhending Mansion, how can he cause trouble for the Cao family? Besides, the fourth uncle just got the official family's grand funeral, how can the official family be concerned about Yu'er?...What trouble did he cause again?"
"What trouble did he cause? He colluded with Wang Youdao, the magistrate of Lingshou County, and intercepted the relief grains of Luojia Village. The people of Luojia Village went to Beijing to file a complaint, but they happened to be caught up by the official!"
Wang then sighed and said, "That's true. I have heard about this. The official said that the three departments were investigating and handling it. At worst, let Shier send the cut off food to these mud legs..."
Bang... A bowl of exquisite teacup with yellow soup shattered on the ground into countless pieces, splashing everywhere, scaring Wang Shi trembled, Cao Sheng stood up angrily: "At this time, you still hold the little beast, look! This is written by the official family, and it is used to warn me of the Cao family!"
The elegant flying white brought into Wang's eyes. The word "was excellent", but the blood-red cinnabar ink and snow-white raw Xuanxuan... It has a killing spirit. From beginning to end, it is just four simple sentences. With Wang's skills, it can easily know its meaning: "This is the official kind reminder that we just need to discipline the tempter, so why bother to fight."
"Silly!...Silly! The woman's opinion is unattainable! If the official family first denounces me in the court and then gives me such an honor, he will no longer care about it. However, this alchemy book was passed to me privately, which means that the official family did not intend to let it go. Instead, he focused on the Cao family. If my Cao family had any mistakes, it would be doomed!"
Cao Yan finished his wife word by word, and at this time, Cao Wei's second wife, Shen, came to hear the news. When they saw the two of them making noise, they stepped forward to dissuade them: "Why are you fighting? Where do you get such anger when you get married?!"
Wang quickly stepped forward: "Sister-in-law, my master wants to escort Yuer to the capital and punish him! Look at his posture, he will be defeated even if he is not dead!"
Shen frowned and asked Cao Yan, "Why is this uncle?"
Cao Yan sighed: "My sister-in-law doesn't know anything. Cao Yu made a big mistake in the ancestral home of Zhending Mansion. Now he is known by the government. Unless he dealt with quickly, the government will definitely focus on my Cao family. In the future, it will be even more difficult for the juniors of the clan to make a comeback!"
"Oh, is there any such thing?"
Cao Yan nodded and said, "I dare not deceive my sister-in-law, the official alchemy book is here."
After taking the letter handed over by Cao Yan, Shen frowned for a long time, and finally said, "It is indeed as my uncle said, the official family is targeting my Cao family. I am afraid that Shi'er will not be able to escape this disaster..."
"What... sister-in-law, save Shi'er! He is the smartest among my grandchildren. How could he be, how could he be..."
Although Shen is Cao Wei's second wife, her status in the Cao family is equivalent to that of the mistress of the Cao family. Because her family's family is extraordinary, she is the granddaughter of the prime minister Chen Lun, and her knowledge is naturally extraordinary: "The official family obviously wants to attack my Cao family and kill the chicken to warn the monkey. He wants to not even let the Cao family get such honor, let alone other powerful families, the official family will definitely be promoted and suppressed after the death of the master!"
"My sister-in-law said so much. She saw through the methods of the government and didn't know how to deal with it. She couldn't watch the unfilial son ruin the Cao family..."
Cao Yan also wanted to save his grandson, but compared to his wife's urgency, he cared more about the future of the entire Cao family. Now he still had a chance, so he asked his sister-in-law, and Shen naturally had a solution to it: "In fact, it's simple. Since the official family asked us to check and reflect on ourselves, we must follow the official's will, especially if we can't forgive Shier at all,..."
Wang was shocked and said repeatedly: "Sister-in-law..."
"You must know that only in this way can you save Shi'er's life. In the eyes of the officials, no matter how high or low, your Shi'er's life is life, and the lives of those victims are also life. If you protect Shi'er more, the officials will blame you more!"
Cao Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your reminder! My foolish brother will take those unfilial descendants to the capital... This will not only relieve the officials, but also help the officials to kill chickens and warn monkeys..."
Shen nodded slightly. Only in this way can the Cao family overcome difficulties now...
Wang looked at the slightly stranger in front of him in horror. One was the man he lived with day and night, and the other was the eldest sister-in-law who was quite virtuous in the clan. Why did he immediately become so cruel and ruthless when he was related to family background, and would rather sacrifice Shier than protect the interests of the Cao family?
"Master, sister-in-law, what are you planning?"
Cao Yan stared at his wife who showed horror in his eyes and said, "Don't you want to save Shi'er's life? Eating some bitterness is always much better than taking his life!"
When Wang heard that he was worried about his life, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, he will gain a memory if he eats some flesh and blood. He will never dare to do anything rash!"
Seeing Wang's appearance, Cao Qi said cruelly: "Let Cao Qi send someone to escort Yu'er out of the capital and send him to the Sei Shi for the punishment!"
"What?! Master, I entrusted my son to intercept the relief grain and conspired with local officials to the victims of the Luojia Village. If I were sent to the Criminal Division in Beijing, I would be sentenced to death! Master, I want to destroy my relatives for justice and let my grandson become a stepping stone for the Cao family!"
Cao Qi completely ignored Wang's entanglement and said, "I am going to destroy my relatives for justice. It seems that you know the reason! You still have to hide it for him now? But do you think the official family will let the Cao family go? If you keep surviving, the Cao family will start to lose their family! I have no choice when I encounter a "wise king" like the official family!"
