Chapter 127

Cao Shu took a few tomb robbers back to Xudu early in the morning.

He took them to Xudu Prison and threw them into the cell.

Cao Shuo said to the few people who were locked in the cell: "If you don't want to die, remember. When someone asked about your crime, he said that he was stealing my roasted wild game. Don't tell the truth."

"Don't worry, young master!" Cao Shuo's instructions made Zhou Hao and others see a glimmer of hope, and they couldn't help but respond.

After returning to the Cao family, Cao Shu went straight to Cao Cao's residence.

Early in the morning, Cao Cao discussed with everyone and returned to the room to taste tea and discuss the truth with Xun Yu.

The two were talking about the happy place, and the guards reported: "Report to Mr. Cao, the second son is here!"

"Didn't he go to guard the imperial tomb? Why are he here?" Cao Cao asked.

"The young master said that there is something important to report." said the guard.

"Let him come in." Cao Cao ordered.

Cao Shu entered the house and saw Xun Yu also there, and greeted Cao Cao and him separately.

After glanced at Xun Yu, Cao Shu wanted to speak but stopped.

"The young master came back from the imperial tomb, there must be something important." I realized that he didn't want to say it in front of him, Xun Yu stood up with great gaze and said, "Mr. Cao, I'll take my leave first."

Cao Cao nodded, and Xun Yu retreated.

"If you don't guard the imperial tomb well, why do you run back and do?" Cao Cao asked.

"Back to my father." Cao Shuo said: "We caught a few tomb robbers last night."

"Tomb robber?" Cao Cao frowned: "Is there anyone who dares to attack the imperial tomb?"

"I checked yesterday and the holes they opened were very accurate." Cao Shuo said: "It should be something like this often."

"Those who dig graves and dig the graves, just catch them and kill them." Cao Cao said: "It's worth coming back and reporting to me?"

"One of the time, they stole the imperial tomb." Cao Shuo said: "Second, I want to ask my father for love and spare them. So I rushed back."

"You want to spare them from digging the imperial tomb?" Cao Cao frowned, his face a little unfair.

"Father, just imagine that if there is a great chaos today, the Cao family will recruit troops, raise soldiers, raise weapons, and prepare military rations. What's the point of not having money?" Cao Shuo said: "The Cao family has more and more soldiers, and the consumption is getting bigger and bigger. If you don't want to find other ways to raise such a huge army, you will definitely be in a short position."

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao asked with a cold face: "Do you want me to use tomb robbers to raise food and money?"

"My father is upright and devoted himself to the Han Dynasty. He is an example of heroes in the world." Cao Shu said: "Of course I can't do such things, and I don't bother to do them."

"Then what else is there to say?" Cao Cao said: "If I kill them, I don't need them to raise food and money."

"But I want to keep them." Cao Shuo smiled with a shy face: "There were many high-ranking officials and nobles in the past, and the burial objects buried with them after their death were also very tempting. It is really a waste to bury those things underground without seeing the sun. It is better to let someone dig them out. Taking out the things that are not seeing the sun is also a way to do good deeds and accumulate virtue."

"Digging graves and digging graves do you think you are doing good deeds and accumulating virtue?" Cao Cao frowned.

"That depends on how you think about it." Cao Shuo said: "Living people are always more important than dead people, not to mention that the princes and nobles of the previous generations have nothing to do with us. Using their things to supplement the soldiers of the three armies is much better than letting the soldiers die of poverty and starving to death."

"You can tell me three points if you are ignorant." Cao Cao was not a pedantic person at first, and he was also a little moved when Cao Shu said this.

However, he is a hero of a generation after all, how could he do something to instruct the digging of graves?

"I think this matter is still inappropriate." Cao Cao said: "You have to think twice! If someone else knows..."

Cao Cao's words were loose, and Cao Shu quickly struck while the iron was hot: "If you can't take such a thing, your father will certainly not participate. As long as your father promises to hand them over to me for disposal, there will definitely be a proper result. If your father doesn't say it, I don't say it, who else dares to say it?"

"Don't cause trouble for me." Cao Cao said: "Be careful when doing this. You can't get too involved."

"Don't worry, Father!" Cao Shuo responded.

"After finishing, continue to guard your imperial tomb." Cao Cao said: "You are not allowed to come back until the day! Go."

Cao Shu retreated in response.

He went to the prison to pick up Zhou Hao and others, and Cao Shu took them away from Xudu.

"Young Master, don't we have to see Mr. Cao?" Zhou Hao was in Xudu Prison for a whole morning, but nothing happened.

"It's good to be alive. What else do you want to do?" Cao Shu asked.

Zhou Hao lowered his head and said, "I dare not ask any more questions."

"You really want to survive?" Cao Shuo asked Zhou Hao and others again.

"No one doesn't want to live." Zhou Hao said quickly: "What does the young master want us to do? We will definitely go through fire and water in the future!"

"You don't need to go through fire and water," Cao Shu said, "Just let you do your job."

"Young Master wants to go to the tomb, too?" Zhou Hao was stunned.

"Do you think I'm like a tomb robber?" Cao Shuo glared at him.

"Not like it!" Zhou Hao shook his head quickly.

"Am I like a person who is greedy for money and profits without consequences?"

"Not like!"

"I'm like a person who is not good at character and only wants to make money all day long?"

"Not like it!"

"That's it!" Cao Shu said: "How can someone like me who is a good person who does not seek small profits do that? You have to go to the tomb!"

"Young Master asked us to dig a tomb for the Cao family?" Zhou Hao asked.

"As a tomb robber, anyone who catches him will be cut off his head." Cao Shuo said: "For the Cao family, you can choose tombs at will on the Cao family's territory. As long as they are not from the ancestors of the Cao family, you can do whatever you want."

"The reason I plead for you is because I believe you are just making a living." Cao Shuo said: "It is more than enough to do things in the Cao family and live a very comfortable life. Women will have wealth, but they will be harder."

"Young Master, it's useless to steal things from the tomb and put them in our hands." Zhou Hao said: "Those who are too expensive dare not take action, for fear of being interrogated. Those who are not expensive can't replace anything. Although they often do this business, they are hungry every day to touch their backs."

"Don't be afraid of these in the future." Cao Shuo said: "I'll arrange for someone to sell them when I get good things."

"Okay! We'll follow the young master from now on." Zhou Hao said, patting his chest.

"It sounds nice now. What if you hide the stolen things in the future?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Absolutely not!" Zhou Hao said: "Young Master wants to capture a few of us, but isn't it easy to capture?"

"That's right." Cao Shu said: "You go to the military camp first and report to me under my command. Come back to the imperial tomb to find me."

"Go now?" Zhou Hao asked.

"When are you going?" Cao Shu said: "When you hang out with me, you will have money, power and women! How can my team keep idle people? You must go now!"
