Chapter 25: Left and Right Hands

Ah Hu fell on his buttocks, but nothing happened, not even the smile on his face.

"Prince, the king has just summoned me for questioning."

Cao Miao sat back and said angrily, "What did you say?" ”

"A lot, Jade Owl Seal, Wang Tai, Han Dong, a lot."

"How did you deal with it?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know?" Cao Miao raised her head in surprise, her feet were a little itchy, and she had a strong urge to kick people.

Ah Hu was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "I mean, no matter what the king asks me, I won't tell him that he doesn't know." ”

Cao Miao smacked her lips suddenly. Ah Hu's mouth was tight, but this answer was too simple and rude, Cao Zhi definitely couldn't believe it. He asked some more details, but he still let go of the matter in his heart, so he asked Ah Hu to ask Lao Song, who was on duty outside the door, to see what else he could ask about.

Gao Xun could get Cao Pi's appreciation, and he actually planned to marry Princess Dongxiang to him, but he was so presumptuous that he didn't take Qian Pei Cao's family in his eyes, and only recognized Xiahou Xuan alone. Where did he get the confidence?

For the sake of the new drama, he has done some knowledge of the background of this era. However, after all, he is an actor, not a scholar, and his understanding is mainly based on the roles he plays, and his understanding of other people is limited. He didn't know anything about who Gao Xun was, even Gao Xun's uncle Gao Rou, he didn't know much, he only knew that he was born in a family and was proficient in law, and then he was closer to Sima Yi.

At the time of Sima Yi's Gao Pingling Change, Gao Rou was Sima Yi's hardcore supporter.

However, he is no stranger to Xiahou Xuan. Xiahou Xuan is the second male in that new play, and he has a close relationship with the protagonist he plays. He vaguely remembered that there was a big case in the early years of Emperor Ming, called the Vanity Case, which was related to Xiahou Xuan and others, these young people with eyes above the bottom and sharp edges were attacked by the old ministers, and were completely imprisoned by Emperor Ming Cao Ei, and many people did not re-emerge until Emperor Ming died and Cao Shuang was in power.

If Gao Xun and Xiahou Xuan were friends, he was likely to be involved.

This may be an opportunity to take advantage of. I have to let my father Cao Zhi write a book and participate in his book.

But how can you say this to Cao Zhi? Cao Miao had a headache.

——

Cao Miao asked Ah Hu to inquire about the news, but Ah Hu was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he simply called Lao Song over.

Lao Song is in his sixties, of medium stature, his facial features are upright, and he can vaguely see a bit of bookishness. He spoke unhurriedly and quietly, but he could hear the words clearly. Unlike other old guards, they talk like quarrels, and they have a lot of foul language, they come when they open their mouths, and they always go to the upper three generations and the next three roads.

This is a habit that only people who often face Shangguan will have.

"Which general was Gong Song under before?"

Old Song shook his hand again and again in fear. "Prince, the old minister doesn't dare to be it, if the prince doesn't dislike it, just call the old minister Lao Song. That's what the king and the lady are called. ”

Cao Miao nodded in agreement. If you follow the local customs, it is easy to arouse suspicion if you don't pay attention to it.

"The old minister has been in the army all his life, but there are not many generals he has followed. At first, he followed Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and later Emperor Wu entered Yanzhou, and the old minister became Emperor Wu's soldiers. At that time, under the command of General Xiahou, he respected his teachers, and there were Confucians in the army, and the old ministers also read a few books......"

Lao Song is afraid that he hasn't talked to anyone seriously for a long time, and he won't finish talking about it. Ah Hu annoyed him, and wanted to interrupt him several times to get him down to business, but Cao Miao stopped him. What Cao Miao has is time, but what he lacks is an understanding of this era, and listening to Lao Song talk about the past is good for him.

Lao Song spent most of his time under Xiahou and served as the chief bookkeeper for a period of time. However, Xiahoudun was stationed in the nest to guard against Eastern Wu, and there were not many battles, and there was no chance of meritorious service. Later, he was transferred to the Chinese army, stationed in Yecheng, and became the guard of the Linzi Marquis Mansion, and has been doing it until now.

"The old minister knows a few words, and he is quite diligent in his work, if the king goes to Beijing, he will bring the old minister. Lao Chen saw Gao Xun in Beijing, he seems to be one of the eight masters, and he can be regarded as the best among the younger generation of celebrities. However, he disliked it from his uncle Gao Tingwei, and it is said that he reprimanded him several times, and the two had little contact. ”

Cao Miao asked some more things, and finally asked Lao Song. "You have been in the house for many years, do you know whose children are the green peach and red apricot?"

Old Song shook his head. "Although Lao Chen met some people with the king back then, most of them were men, and there were few opportunities to see women. When these children entered the house, their surnames were hidden, and who belonged to whom, they had to go to the government office that arranged for them to enter the house. ”

As Lao Song was talking, Qingtao walked in, her face pale. Lao Song paused, hesitated for a moment, and said: "If the old minister remembers well, Qingtao may be from the Xuanwei Marquis's mansion, as for which room it is, the Xuanwei Hou has many wives and concubines, and the old minister is not clear." ”

Cao Miao bowed her head slightly, signaling Lao Song to retreat. Old Song saluted, turned around and was about to leave, thought about it, and stung back again. "Prince, forgive the old minister for talking too much. This Gao Xun is familiar with the children of Sun Zi and Liu Fang, the supervisor of Zhongshu, and it is better for the prince to be wary. ”

"Okay." Cao Miao nodded in thanks.

Lao Song went out, Cao Miao looked back at Qingtao and snorted: "It seems that you are not ready." ”

Qingtao lowered her head, speechless.

Ah Hu opened his mouth, wanted to speak, looked at Cao Miao, saw Cao Miao's serious expression, and swallowed it back.

Cao Miao maintained a cold tone. "Whether it's revenge or political disputes, it's all your life-and-death business. On this path, any kind of danger may be encountered. If you're not ready, think again. Once you've decided, it's hard to go back. ”

"Prince, I'm not afraid." Ah Hu preemptively said: "Anyway, if you go to the battlefield, you will die, and if you follow the prince, you may be able to kill a bloody road." ”

Cao Miao nodded, but her eyes were fixed on Qingtao.

Qingtao's lips trembled, her hands stirred together, and she said after a while: "Prince, it's useless to be a servant." But the servant has made up his mind for revenge, and no matter what kind of danger, the servant can endure it. ”

As she spoke, she opened the paper bag on the case, revealing the half of her white severed finger, and picked it up with two trembling fingers. Her face was paler, her chest was down, but her eyes were still firm, and she had no intention of dodging. "Ask the prince to give it to his servant."

Cao Miao's gaze softened a little. "You go and inquire about Gao Xun's residence and their itinerary."

"Whoa." Qingtao bowed, turned around and went out.

Ah Hu looked at Qingtao's thin back, and then looked at Cao Miao, eager to try. "Prince, do you want to kill the surname Gao? Let me go this time. There are so many people over there that it's hard to get close, and I can shoot him with a crossbow. ”

Cao Miao looked at Ah Hu and twisted her fingers. "Ah Hu, do you want to be a master like Tiger Hou Xu Yu?"

"Of course, I dream of it." Ah Hu blurted out.
