Chapter 257: Yang Mou
Sun Luban was concerned about two issues: first, who was spreading the rumors, and second, how Wei reacted to Sun Quan's claim to be emperor, and whether there were assassins.
Cao Miao pondered for a moment while picking her teeth with a silver toothpick. "I can't give a definite answer to either of these questions, just for reference."
Sun Luban looked at Lu Yi. Lu Yi said: "Please teach Cao Jun." ”
Cao Miao glanced at Lu Yi and said, "Lu Jun, take the liberty of asking a question." ”
"It doesn't matter."
"I also have a school officer in Dawei, are the school officials of your Wu State learning from our Dawei?"
Lu Yi wanted to deny it—the reputation of the school officials of the Wei State was too bad—but thinking about the issues they were going to discuss, it seemed that it was not appropriate to deny it, so he could only nod. "I don't know if it's learning, maybe it's a coincidence."
Cao Miao was happy. "Let me ask you another question, what is King Wu's evaluation of my eldest father, Emperor Wu?"
Lu Yi didn't speak, and Sun Luban took over. "My father has a lot of praise for Emperor Ling Zuwu."
"That's right. My eldest father also said that giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. They are lifelong enemies, but they also appreciate each other and are both heroes. ”
Cao Cao's words of praise for Sun Quan are not secret, and there are legends in Jiangdong, but now it is said from Cao Cao's grandson Cao Miao, and it is more credible. Although Sun Luban and Lu Yi are inconvenient to evaluate, they are in a good mood. Cao Miao can say such things, naturally he is willing to cooperate, and even a little deliberately flattering. That being the case, he might be able to provide some really useful information.
"This school system was created by my eldest father. But it's a pity that after my father's eternal, the school system has changed. Nowadays, those school affairs will only run rampant and bully the small people, but they are afraid of the real national beetle. Compared with Wu Guo's counterparts, it is really ashamed. ”
Lu Yi, as a school officer, is usually scolded by others, but when he heard Cao Miao's praise at this moment, he knew that there was a flattering ingredient, but he was still happy in his heart, showing a reserved smile, and his waist was a little straighter.
"Lu Jun is valued by King Wu and assists the princess in investigating the case, so he must be a handsome man in school affairs. Although the information I provided was sloppy and hearsay, presumably Lu Jun would definitely be able to keep the truth from the false and take gold from the sand. ”
"Uh......" Lu Yi understood Cao Miao's intention to praise him, and it was difficult to deny it for a while.
Cao Miao turned to Sun Luban, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing Sun Luban's familiar smile. Sun Luban's mood floating in mid-air suddenly fell to the ground, and he was angry. Cao Miao said this very clearly, he will provide some information, but whether these messages are true or false, and whether they can be useful, depends on whether they Wu people—specifically, she and Lu Yi—have the ability to distinguish between them.
"It's not early, Cao Jun should be happy." Sun Luban snorted.
"Whoa." Cao Miao bowed slightly. "Regarding the rumor, I once told the princess that I once heard a rumor from Wang Ji, which is similar to the rumor that King Wu is not of the Sun bloodline."
Sun Luban nodded. "I remember, but you also said that Wang Ji is dead."
"Wang Ji is dead, but Wang Ji may not be the initiator of rumors."
Sun Luban was stunned, and his eyes lit up. Lu Yi had already heard Sun Luban's relay, and he also heard the hidden meaning of Cao Miao's words. If that rumor was not made by Wang Ji, but someone else. This rumor of Wuchang may also be created by that person. As long as Cao Miao can provide information about this person, the chances of seizing this person and clarifying the rumors can be greatly increased.
"Who's that?"
"I don't know who it is." Cao Miao put away her smile. "However, I know that this person may have something to do with another rumor. Lu Jun, you should have heard of it, right? The one related to my father. ”
Lu Yi thought for a moment and bowed his head slightly. "What Cao Jun is talking about in April this year, the rumor that spread in Luoyang?"
"Exactly. After I arrived in Luoyang, I once tracked down this rumor, and chased it to Xielu Lang Zhongtai, but the clue was broken. Chung Tae said that the rumor was spread by a person surnamed Yoon. He didn't know who this person was or which Yin it was, he only knew that this person was about seven feet tall, with a sharp voice, some accents, and some distinctive walking postures. ”
Cao Miao is described exactly according to the characteristics of Yinbo. He didn't know in what capacity Yinbo had entered, but he believed that Yinbo was likely to be in Wuchang, and according to the clues he provided, it was possible to catch someone.
It is very difficult to completely fictionalize a person, and many details are all based on imagination, and inconsistencies will inevitably occur. It is impossible for Lu Yi to fully believe him, and he will inevitably ask many times. Once he reveals his flaws, Lu Yi will be suspicious. He described it according to the characteristics of Yinbo, and the possibility of making mistakes was greatly reduced, and Lu Yi naturally couldn't see the flaws.
As for Yinbo's life or death, he didn't care at all. If it was possible, he wouldn't mind personally torturing Yinbo.
Sure enough, Lu Yi repeatedly asked for details. Cao Miao replied like a stream, what you know is what you know, what you don't know is what you don't know, Lu Yi finally confirmed that what Cao Miao said should be the truth.
Although this information is vague, it has pointed the way and is a gain. Whether or not someone can be caught depends on the ability of the Wu State School Affairs Office.
"Thank you, Cao Jun. There is another question, how hostile is Wei to my Great Wu? ”
"What else do you need to say?" Cao Miao sneered: "King Wu was sealed by Emperor Wen of my Great Wei, and the State of Wu is also my Great Wei Domain." Not to mention the repeated obstruction of Wang Shi over the years, and now he still wants to be the emperor and stand on his own, how can the court sit idly by. I'm sure you know this too, that's why you became emperor after defeating the Great Sima. Don't hide it from the princess and Lu Jun, the court is powerless to levy, and the assassin is also a last resort. Of course, don't keep an eye on Da Wei ......."
Lu Yi interrupted Cao Miao. "Cao Jun, I'll talk about other things later, as far as you know, which assassins did Wei send?"
Cao Miao looked displeased and was silent for a long time. "Declare in advance, I've only heard about the assassins, and there is no definite news."
Lu Yi stared at Cao Miao and didn't let it go at all.
Cao Miao showed a helpless expression. "Have you heard of the Huiren House in Luoyang?"
Lu Yi didn't speak, just looked at Cao Miao intently.
"Most of the best assassins in Luoyang are on the gold list of the Huiren House. I dealt with one of them, called Long Lou. In terms of personal martial arts, it is probably equivalent to Ah Hu, but the ability to lurk and assassinate is above Ah Hu. In other words, if I sent an assassin from the Huiren Family, you would have no other way but to strengthen your vigilance. ”
Lu Yi's body leaned forward slightly, like a tiger that wanted to pounce. "Do you know who they are?"
"I really don't know." Cao Miao shook her head, picked up her wine glass, and made a gesture of sending off guests. "I can't help it."
Lu Yi slowly retreated and sat up straight again, but his eyes were still staring at Cao Miao. "How can I trust you?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
"In that case, then I have no choice but to hand you over to Mrs. Sun." Lu Yi said as he quietly gestured to Sun Luban and motioned her not to speak. Sun Luban saw it really and nodded cooperatively.
Cao Miao laughed silently. "Go to the Relief Camp, I also have these words. I also want to see if the school affairs department is slightly better, or the means of solving the problem camp are higher. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "Good birds choose trees to perch." I was homeless, so I naturally had to pick a big tree to shelter from the wind and rain, build a nest and steal my life. ”
