Cao Miao practiced martial arts at night, got up late in the morning, and ate breakfast mostly alone.

When he was in his own villa, Ah Hu and Qing Tao would accompany him. When he got here, he had to eat alone in order to hide his eyes.

When the time came, Zhong Tai personally carried the food table (a tray without feet) and came to Cao Miao with a solemn expression, like a sacrifice. Qing Tao got up, picked some of each food, and placed it in front of Zhong Tai. Zhong Tai saluted and put them in his mouth one by one. Qingtao ate at this time, waiting for Cao Miao to eat.

Cao Miao picked up the chopsticks and glanced at Zhong Tai. "You don't want to die with me, do you? So serious. ”

Zhong Tai was startled and hurriedly shook his hand, but saw that Cao Miao had already scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth, so he knew that Cao Miao was joking. He smiled awkwardly and looked at the green peach. Cao Miao ignored him and concentrated on eating. Qingtao also ignored him, just when he didn't exist, he only had Cao Miao in his eyes, and he sent the tableware in a timely manner, and he almost started to feed Cao Miao.

Zhong Tai was helpless, and said goodbye, his voice was as low as a mosquito. "Is the opportunity that the townsman said to be doing school work?"

"You don't want to?" Cao Miao said lightly. In fact, you don't need to ask, just look at Zhong Tai's tangled expression. The school affairs are notorious, and even Han Dong is reluctant. If it weren't for the necessity and desperation, few scholars would be willing to defile themselves, let alone Zhong Tai, who was born in a high-ranking family.

"School Affairs...... To be ashamed is not the right way. Zhong Tai gritted his teeth and said with a sad smile: "However, Tai is not a person of high character, and he has no face to say such things." If you can plan for your family, the school will ...... There is no need. ”

Cao Miao finished drinking the porridge, put down the chopsticks, took the cloth handed over by Qingtao, and wiped her mouth. "Zhong Tai, there are two things to be clear. First, whether a person's character is noble or not is not necessarily related to his identity. There are traitors and gentlemen in school affairs, and it is not all pitch black. Just as you think of yourself as a gentleman, but not all of you are a gentleman. ”

Zhong Tai's face was red, and he was speechless. He is a person who has a handle in Cao Miao's hands, how can he have a face and Cao Miao's character.

"Second, I'm not recruiting you to do school work. I don't care how others recruit school officials, but I have high requirements for recruiting school officials. Cao Miao looked at Zhong Tai and said word by word: "You are not qualified enough." ”

Zhong Tai was ashamed of himself, bowed heavily, and prepared to leave.

Cao Miao said again: "The opportunity I said can actually be said to be a test. If you can do it, you may have the opportunity to become a school officer, and of course you will have the opportunity to be reinstated, or you may be given other official positions. If you can't do it, you don't have to think about it so much, at most I will help you collect the body and send you back to Yingchuan for burial. ”

Zhong Tai was startled, raised his head, and his eyes were fanatical. "Reinstatement of the officer?"

"Lieutenant of the Co-ordinator? It should be fine. ”

"I do, I do."

"This mission is dangerous."

"No matter how dangerous it is, I'm not afraid." Zhong Tai burst into tears, reaching out and grabbing Cao Miao's sleeve tightly. "As long as the officer is reinstated, no matter how dangerous the task, I am willing."

"It depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

"Please test the townsman."

Cao Miao looked at Zhong Tai for a moment and smiled slightly. "I'll tell you a word, and then let someone torture you, for three days, as long as you can survive these three days, I'll give you this opportunity. If you can't get through, then you can still be a Zhuang Cheng with peace of mind. How is it? ”

"Okay." Zhong Tai nodded without thinking.

Cao Miao sent someone to call Cao Zhao and Cao Su's brothers and told him about the agreement with Zhong Tai. He told Zhong Tae a sentence, and Cao Zhao and Cao Su tried to find a way to ask this sentence from Zhong Tai's mouth, and they could use force, but they could not kill or maim them, especially their faces and hands could not move.

Cao Zhao was a little embarrassed. "Nothing is more important than life and death. Neither can it be killed nor maimed, how can it be tortured? ”

"Can you do it? If not, I can show you how to find out the truth without killing or maiming you. ”

Cao Zhao thought about it and took on the task. Although he felt that this task was too difficult, he did not want to admit defeat easily, especially to Cao Miao. The Son of Heaven arranged for him to go on the expedition with his father, and if he showed his cowardice at this time, even if he could still make the trip in the end, it would leave a bad impression in the heart of the Son of Heaven.

After the agreement, Cao Miao picked up the pen and wrote a few words on a bamboo slip, then let Zhong Tai take a look, locked it into the wooden box in front of Cao Zhao, and handed the key to Cao Zhao. The box was left with Cao Miao, and three days later, Cao Zhao could use the key to open the box, take out the bamboo slips, and confirm whether the answers he got were true.

When Cao Miao was writing, Cao Zhao paid attention to observation. Although he couldn't see what Cao Miao wrote, judging from his movements, it should be five words. When Zhong Tai saw these five words, he looked stunned and stared at Cao Miao for a long time. It can be seen that these five words are by no means ordinary words, and they must involve a major secret.

Comparing the two, Cao Zhao was also very curious, and he had to ask this sentence.

Considering that Cui Lin and Zhong Yu will come, the test will be postponed by one day, just so that Cao Zhao has time to prepare. However, Chung Tai himself was immediately imprisoned and was not allowed to have contact with outsiders, and his sister Chung took over the affairs he was responsible for.

In contrast, Madame Chung was obviously better at these things than Chung Tai, and it was more than enough to manage a villa.

After explaining everything, Zhong Tai was sent to a remote courtyard to take care of him. Before leaving, he glanced at Cao Miao deeply, his eyes complicated.

Cao Miao smiled, which was also meaningful. Regardless of whether Zhong Tai can withstand the torture of the Cao Zhao brothers, and whether Zhong Tai is willing to go to Jiangdong Xingjian or not, Zhong Tai is already a knife in his hand, and it depends on how to use it in the end.

The dragon slaughtering knife has the usage of the dragon slaughtering knife, and the cattle slaughtering knife has the usage of the cattle slaughtering knife.

At noon, Cui Lin, the captain of Sili, and Zhong Yu, the free rider, rushed to the villa, and Cui Liang was also among them. Cui Lin has an edict in hand, and Cao Miao naturally can't close himself off with grounding. But he didn't go out to greet him, but just asked Cao Zhao to greet him.

Cui Lin was very unhappy when he didn't see Cao Miao come out to greet him, but he didn't put it on his face, and asked a few words about Cao Miao's current situation with a gentle expression. Cao Zhao had no choice but to say seriously, the township public edict was forbidden to introspect, and he had been reflecting and thinking in the courtyard for the past two days, and he was not out of the hospital for half a step.

Cui Lin nodded in approval.

Zhong Yu saw it in his eyes and was very disdainful. However, he didn't care about Cao Miao's appearance, it was Cui Lin's face problem, and it had nothing to do with him. He was more concerned about why Zhong Tai didn't show up, but was greeted by a guest from Cao Zhao.

Cao Zhao said that Zhong Tai saw some things that should not be seen, heard some things that should not be heard, and was imprisoned by the township public.

When Zhong Yu heard this, he immediately understood what Cao Zhao was talking about, and sneered repeatedly. "Changsi, in my opinion, it's not that Zhong Tai shouldn't see or listen, it's that someone wants to cover it up and hide people's eyes."
