Cao Zhao smiled but did not speak.

He and Zhong Yu are both free riders and have worked together for many years, so they know what kind of person Zhong Yu is, and they also know how much this rumor hurts Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu was not mad, and he could still speak in a clear manner, he was already very surprised.

Cao Zhao led Cui Lin into the village. He grew up in Yecheng since he was a child, and he is no stranger to Cui Lin and others, and he is also familiar with the relevant etiquette, neither humble nor arrogant, and he is a qualified welcomer. Cui Lin was very satisfied, and Zhong Yu couldn't find anything wrong.

When entering the village gate and passing the front yard, Zhong Yu saw Mrs. Zhong and couldn't help frowning, feeling very embarrassed.

Zhong Tai committed a crime, was dismissed, and was appointed as a hundred-stone official in Zhuang Cheng. What is the presence of Madame Chung here? She didn't commit a crime, her husband Guan Jun is still a new city juncheng, don't you stay well in Luoyang City, and come here to wait for people?

Zhong Tai didn't speak, didn't even glance at Mrs. Zhong, just assumed that she didn't exist.

Mrs. Zhong didn't speak. Although they are all surnamed Zhong, Zhong Yu is the eldest son of Zhong Xuan, and he became a free rider at the age of fourteen, and the starting point is so high that Zhong Tai and Guan Jun dare not think of it. They were people from two worlds, and they didn't have much to do with each other. When Guan Jun was appointed as the county leader, he was cheeky and took her to meet Zhong Xuan, so that he had the opportunity to meet him.

When I came to the main hall, it was empty. Cao Zhao invited Cui Lin to take a seat and sent someone to invite Cao Miao.

Cui Lin's face was slightly cold, but he didn't have a seizure. Cui Liang couldn't hold back, and took the initiative to ask to see Cao Miao and ask him to come out to meet Cui Lin. Cui Lin nodded and agreed. Cui Liang stretched out his hand to Cao Zhao with his head held high.

"There is a long waiter."

Cao Zhao nodded with a smile and led Cui Liang to the backyard where Cao Miao lived. When he walked to the door, he was stopped by Ah Hu.

"We are here by edict." Cui Liang shouted in a deep voice, glaring at Ah Hu. "Does the townsman want to resist the edict?"

"Edict, edict, is your name in the edict?" A lazy voice came from upstairs, clear and loose, with a hint of nonchalance. Then, Cao Miao appeared on the third floor, he jumped and sat on the railing, his legs dangling outside the railing, and he looked at Cui Liang condescendingly with contemptuous eyes. "A cloth cloth with no official and no lord, does the edict have anything to do with you? Bah! ”

Cui Liang choked suddenly, and then felt a chill on his face, and only after a while did he realize that it was Cao Miao's saliva, and he was suddenly so angry that he was exposed.

"You ......"

"How am I?" Cao Miao spat again, impartially, and landed on Cui Liang's face. "I am a township duke, working in the school, you are an unofficial and unemployed cloth, you don't want to be disrespectful when you see me not saluting? Who gave you the guts? Is there any royal law left? ”

Cui Liang was furious. "Is there only the power of the official in the eyes of the townsman? Don't you know that you are close to the virtuous, and you are in front of the virtuous. Although I have no official position or position, I am a child of the Qinghe Cui family, my father is the brother of Lingtang, and I am the brother of the township father. When you saw your brother, you didn't go downstairs to greet you, and you insulted you, did you despise Qinghe Cui's family, or did you cut off the mother-son relationship? ”

"Phew!" Cao Miao spit again, falling from the sky.

Cui Liang was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously took a big step back, hid under the porch, and collided with Cao Zhao. He turned his head to look, only to find that Cao Zhao had been standing here without moving, and he couldn't help but curse. This bad cowardice must be in collusion with Cao Miao.

Cao Miao's voice came from above. "You still have the face to call yourself my brother? Do you remember how many years ago you last saw me? If you want to talk about family affection, have you Qinghe Cui admitted this family affection? To you, my aunt is just an investment for you, and it is a failed investment, which has long been abandoned by you. Don't you feel ashamed when you talk to me about family affection? ”

Cao Miao paused, and then said, "You don't have a face, I still want a face." Please don't insult me, I have no family relationship with Qinghe Cui. Although his voice was lazy and even a little ethereal, his tone was full of disdain.

Cui Liang's face was hot, and his fingers were numb. Last time he was rejected by Cao Miao, he just felt that Cao Miao was rude. Now that he was scolded by Cao Miao in person, he realized that Cao Miao had no affection for Qinghe Cui's family, only endless hatred.

Although Cao Miao's words were ugly, they had to admit that they were true.

Qinghe Cui's original choice of Cao Pi and giving up Cao Zhi did not say anything - that was the family's choice, not their father and son could decide - for so many years, in order to avoid suspicion, they kept a distance from Cao Zhi's father and son, without any contact, knowing that Cao Miao was sick, but never sent anyone to visit, as Cao Miao said, Aunt Mrs. Cui is just a failed investment in their eyes. Who wants to take the initiative to mention it?

Even now, when Cao Miao returned to Luoyang with Cao Zhi, the Qinghe Cui clan has always turned a blind eye and has not sent anyone to visit Cao Miao. Now they are visiting, but not for Cao Miao, but for the Zhong family.

Talking about family affection with Cao Miao is to bring humiliation on yourself.

Cui Liang is in a dilemma. He was ashamed to speak out in front of Cui Lin and Zhong Yu, and now he was slapped in the face by Cao Miao, how to explain? There is only one yard and two walls in the front yard and backyard, Cao Miao's voice is so loud, Cui Lin and Zhong Yu must have heard it, and they can't hide it if they want to.

What can I do?

Cui Liang was ashamed and annoyed, so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Cao Zhao stood quietly aside, smiling, but his heart was beating with horror. He knew that Cao Miao had no feelings for Qinghe Cui's family, but he didn't expect Cao Miao to be so ruthless and humiliate Cui Liang in person.

This man is a madman, and you must keep your distance from him, so that you will not be harmed by him. This kind of person can't go far in officialdom, and sooner or later something will happen.

Cao Zhao quickly weighed it and said to Cui Liang: "I'm afraid that the townsman is not very emotionally stable, and it is not suitable to meet guests." Why don't Cui Jun go back to the hall to rest first? ”

Cui forgave him and was grateful, so he hurriedly bowed down to thank him and hurriedly returned to the hall.

Cao Zhao glanced at it, saw that Cao Miao was still sitting on the railing, and said loudly: "Yunliang, be careful." ”

Cao Miao sat high and saw far away, and when she saw Cui Liang go back to the front hall, she guessed that it might be Cao Zhao who was mediating it, and she was very unhappy.

Tear down my desk at such a time? You've got a bad brain.

This man is talented, but he has no backbone, and he has a good skin, that is, a life of picking up soap. Even if the Son of Heaven entrusts him to him, it is useless, he can't guard the rivers and mountains of this Great Wei.

Cao Miao gave Cao Zhao a sentence and ignored Cao Zhao. From now on, he doesn't treat Cao Zhao as a person, but only as the mouthpiece of the Son of Heaven.

Cao Zhao didn't hear back from Cao Miao, and he didn't know what Cao Miao meant. He thought about it for a while, and when he returned to the front hall, he happened to hear Cui Lin say to Zhong Yu: "Uncle Zhi, today's edict to ask is an official business, and it has something to do with you, why don't you go and ask first?" ”

Zhong Yu said: "Si Li said this, Yu didn't dare to agree. It is true that the rumors insulted my father and son, but when I asked about the edict today, it was not my Zhong Xingshi who asked about the crime, but His Majesty's care for the old minister. Si Li is the presiding judge, and I just sit with the trial and dare not be offside. ”

Cao Zhao pursed his lips and waited for a while before he coughed and stepped into the hall.
