Staying Out of the Matter

Jia Xu has a problem!

After leaving Tianxialou and returning home, Cao Peng realized that Jia Xu came to see him today and said those words, probably with ulterior motives. Cheng Yu wants to ask for the throne for Cao Cao? This kind of thing does not seem to need to be done secretly. He came to inform him alone.

If Cheng Yu really did this, he would probably return to Xudu, visit everyone one by one, and then directly raise it at the court meeting, and he would naturally find out...

But Jia Xu, why did he find himself alone to talk about this matter?

The Three Kingdoms were an era of ironclad conflict and intrigue.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of people in this era. Most of the time, there is a different intention hidden in an ordinary behavior.

Jia Xu, what does it mean?

Could it be said that you have to let yourself get ahead of yourself?

Cao Peng's reputation is already ruined!

If you jump out at this time and act like a standout, I'm afraid it will attract rebuke from everyone in the world.

Even the old gentlemen at Fuxishan Academy would not stand on his side and would even scold him.

Could it be that Jia Xu wanted to harm himself?

This incident lingered in his mind, somewhat lingering.

When he got home, Cao Peng didn't even have the heart to eat, so he went into the study and never came out again.

Cao Nan is pregnant and will return to Xingyang soon for recuperation.

This is Cao Nan's second pregnancy since Deng Ai, so everyone in the Cao family takes it very seriously.

Originally, Cao Nan could return to Xudu.

However, the tense atmosphere in Xudu was not suitable for pregnant women, so she finally chose Xingyang. Although Xingyang was a little cold at this time, the environment was excellent. After learning the news that Cao Nan had returned to Xingyang, the old lady could no longer stay in Xudu.

There is nothing going on here with Cao Peng, so you can relax.

Son and daughter, although the old lady still loves her son more, she also cares about her daughter very much.

Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen stayed in Xudu.

However, Zhen Mi, Buluan, Guo Huan, and Sun Shangxiang will go to Xingyang.

Cai Yan also stayed in Xingyang, but Cao Mei, also known as Cai Mei before, and Ameiguai went to Xingyang. In short, the Xinwuting Hou Mansion suddenly became much deserted and no longer as lively and noisy as before.

Several children stayed in Xudu.

After all, I rarely spend time with my father, so it is a rare opportunity.

When Cao Peng didn't show up, Cai Yan and the others knew that he was in trouble.

So Cai Yan, Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen ordered people to prepare wine and food and sent them to the study. When they opened the door, they saw Cao Peng leaning back on the imperial chair, holding his head in his hands, staring at the ceiling, thinking about something.

"Afu, what happened?"

Cao Peng sat down and when he saw Cai Yan and the others, he rubbed his face and showed a bitter smile.

"Today, the old viper came to see me."

Old viper?

Cai Yan didn't react, but Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen knew who Cao Peng was talking about. Of course, this also had something to do with Cai Yan entering Cao's mansion not long ago. It seemed that Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen had accompanied Cao Peng in Nanyang

We lived together for a long time. Cao Peng and Jia Xu were partners at that time, so the names between the two were naturally very familiar.

"That's Jia Taizhong."

"Well……"

Cai Yan was immediately speechless.

Cao Peng sighed, sat up straight, and told him exactly what Jia Xu had said to him.

"What do you think, husband?"

Although Xia Houzhen is naive, she is not the little white rabbit sister she used to be. She can still see the importance of some things.

There are good and bad things about this.

The good thing is that if Cao Cao is crowned king, Cao Peng will take the lead; the bad thing is that this will make Cao Peng's reputation even worse.

Anyway, there are advantages and disadvantages, it's hard to say clearly.

However, Cai Yan pondered for a long time and suddenly said: "In my opinion, Jia Taizhong does not necessarily want you to come forward, but hopes that you can avoid this matter and stay out of it."

"oh?"

"My husband's current reputation is loud enough and his achievements are great enough.

There are already faint signs of being the prime minister's first helping hand. From my point of view, this is enough. As the saying goes, too much is never enough. My husband is already in a high position. If he comes forward again, I am afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. In my opinion

, what Jia Taizhong means is for you to stay away from the limelight for a while and get out of this matter.

It is estimated that Cheng Zhongde has made up his mind and may have even informed the prime minister.

Anyone can come forward in this matter, but my husband cannot come forward, otherwise, there will be disaster..."

After all, Cai Yan has experienced ups and downs and sees things very clearly.

When she said this, Cao Peng suddenly understood. Yes, he must not be involved in this matter.

As Cai Yan said, he is already in a high position.

He was also very clear about the principle of going too far and not doing enough. He always left three points in everything and let others do it... He shouldered the sin of killing Fu Wan's family for Cao Cao, which was enough. To gain more credit may not be a good thing.

"Then what should I do?"

Cao Peng smiled bitterly.

He was in Xudu and could not avoid this happening.

Cai Yan and Huang Yueying looked at each other and smiled slightly, "My husband is actually not worried. Although my husband is in Xudu now, as long as the prime minister finds an excuse to leave Xudu before returning, can't he stay out of it?"

This kind of thing must not be too difficult for you..."

A very complicated matter became easy and simple in the hands of Cai Yan and the others.

Cao Peng suddenly became energetic, hugged Cai Yan and kissed her hard, and then kissed Huang Yueying and Xia Houzhen, which made the three girls feel jealous for a while.

But no matter what, at least there is a solution to this matter.

Cao Peng had a great appetite, and after eating, he was even more excited. He wanted to have a big bed with him, but he was kicked out of the bedroom by Cai Yan and the other three. In the end, he had to stay in the study and endure the pain.

One night.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next day, Cao Peng went straight to Tingwei's office.

Fazheng and others were chatting in the public room. Cao Peng didn't want Cao Peng to come in in a hurry. Without saying a word, he ordered: "Clean up the recent prison records from various places and list the cases that need to be returned for retrial. Everyone, please do your best.

Sort it out as soon as possible, I want to read it right away, don't waste time."

To be honest, Tingwei's official duties are not particularly busy.

Prison cases from various places were sent in and reviewed in accordance with Han law. If there were any doubts, they would be sent back for retrial. If there were no problems, a reply would be issued in the form of an official document. However, Cao Peng's confusing instructions allowed the law to correct Deng.

Everyone in Zhi was a little confused.

"Sir, are there any time limits and geographical restrictions?"

"this……"

Cao Peng thought for a while and said, "Let's reorganize the documents after October last year... As for the regions, we will mainly focus on Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Henan Yin. Sort it out as soon as possible, I will be useful."

A word from the boss can cause the subordinates to lose their legs.

Following Cao Peng's instructions, everyone in the Tingwei Yamen Office began to get busy.

Fortunately, Deng Zhi, Zhang Song, and Jiang Wan were all proficient in criminal law, so Cao Peng didn't need to worry too much.

Two days later, stacks of documents were placed in front of Cao Peng, but Cao Peng was a little overwhelmed.

I just limited the time to after October last year, but the war has been going on in the past few years, so that the official documents submitted by many places seem a bit confusing. In other words, it is the four people who were punished by Fa Zheng. If it were another person, it might not be possible to sort it out completely.

Cao Peng read through them one by one and asked Deng Zhi if he didn't understand anything.

From hundreds of case documents, Cao Peng selected fifty cases that needed to be retried, and Cao Peng wrote them down one by one.

"Get ready. In early October, we will leave Xudu and travel to various places to inspect prisons."

"So many places?"

After Deng Zhi looked at Cao Peng's list, he frowned and said with a wry smile: "If I don't have half a year of hard work, I'm afraid I won't be able to get here."

"Ha, let's just have fun."

As soon as these words were spoken, Deng Zhifazheng and others immediately understood.

I'm afraid it's not just to inspect the prison. Cao Peng may have other motives for leaving Xudu this time. However, since Cao Peng didn't tell them, they wouldn't ask. In this way, after Cao Peng sorted out the files,

Submitted to Jia Xu. Afterwards, Jia Xu made some arrangements and sent someone 600 miles away to Xiangyang.
