Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Showing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 133
"On the contrary, it was Xiahou Dun's son, who was caught in his eyes by quicklime powder, although I helped him clean it up and apply medicine, but it is difficult to say whether he will be blind or not......"
The doctor's words made Cao Cao on the side fall into an ice cave, in case Xiahoudun was really blind, it would be more painful than killing him, because Xiahoudun was a person with very strong self-esteem, for him, after being blind, he could neither ride a horse and shoot arrows, nor go into battle to kill the enemy, it was tantamount to a wasted person, it was better to let him die happily.
"How did it happen?"
After Cao Song listened to the doctor's words, his face was full of sadness, and the uncle beside him complained: "I knew that this kid would get into trouble sooner or later, how many times have you reminded the eldest brother, but you just didn't listen!" ”
At this time, Cao Cao was already irritable because of today's events, and when he heard his uncle complaining incessantly, Cao Cao was furious, and suddenly glared at him.
His uncle was talking energetically, and suddenly glanced at Cao Cao, and was immediately shocked by Cao Cao's murderous aura, and immediately stopped talking, not daring to say more.
But Cao Song on the side was worried about Cao Hong and Xiahoudun's injuries, and he didn't know anything about Cao Cao's actions, so he saw Cao Song say: "It's all like this, what's the use of saying these words again?" Now the main thing is to find a way to cure them, otherwise how can I explain to their parents? ”
After they returned to Caozhuang, they came directly to Cao Cao's house, and then found a doctor, as for Cao Hong's parents, although they also lived in Caozhuang, but because they had something to go out, they were not notified for a while, and Xiahoudun's parents were far away, this time only the two brothers came to Caozhuang to help with farm work, and they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
"Where's Miaocai?"
Speaking of the Xiahoudun brothers, Cao Song suddenly realized that Xiahou Yuan was not around, so he asked.
Cao Song's casual question made Cao Cao feel like a thunderclap sounded in his ears, which shocked him and made him break out in a cold sweat.
Cao Cao asked in a trembling voice, "Why, didn't Miaocai come back with us?" ”
"My brother didn't come back
I don't know ......."
Cao Cao's uncle habitually said a cool word, but suddenly remembered Cao Cao's terrible eyes just now, so he swallowed it back before he finished speaking.
Cao Cao didn't have time to talk to him, at this time he only thought about Xiahou Yuan, because he was so soulless on the road that he didn't pay attention to Xiahou Yuan and didn't come back with him, until Cao Song reminded him at this time, Cao Cao realized that Xiahou Yuan was not here, and he immediately felt bad, so he hurriedly turned around and asked Cao Ren: "Didn't Miao Cai come back with us?" When did he leave? ”
Cao Cao's tone gradually became heavier because of his excitement, as if questioning Cao Ren.
Cao Ren didn't say a word, turned his head sideways and didn't dare to face Cao Cao.
Cao Cao saw that Cao Ren seemed to have something to hide, so he had already guessed eighty or ninety, but in order to confirm this matter, he still asked Xiahoudun: "Miaocai didn't come back with us, right?" ”
Cao Cao's voice was already trembling when he asked this.
Xiahoudun stood behind them, at this time his eyes were covered with a black cloth after the doctor had applied medicine, they had not spoken since they came back, Cao Cao's heart was too chaotic, and he didn't care about these details, at this time, in retrospect, it turned out that there was another hidden story.
Seeing that Xiahoudun was silent, Cao Cao yelled: "I know where he went!" ”
With that, Cao Cao rushed out the door.
Cao Song didn't know why, and hurriedly asked, "Meng De, what are you going to do?" But Cao Cao didn't answer.
I saw that after Cao Cao went out, he pulled a horse, and then galloped away without looking back.
Cao Cao expected that Xiahou Yuan was hiding from him to go to Niuzhuang to confess, he was always arrogant, Cao Cao had obviously said that he would bear his own responsibility, but although Xiahou Yuan was perfunctory on the surface, he took advantage of Cao Cao's inattention and secretly left.
After learning that Xiahou Yuan was going to apologize for himself, Cao Cao was angry and anxious, they had been back to Caozhuang for a long time, I don't know if Xiahou Yuan had arrived in Niuzhuang at this time? If he arrived, what would the people of the cattle village do to him?
Thinking of the methods that vengeful people might use against Xiahou Yuan
, Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat, and he hurried up, wanting to get there before Xiahou Yuan's accident.
Cao Cao prayed silently in his heart: I hope Xiahou Yuan won't go too fast.
Niuzhuang is about ten miles away from Caozhuang, both Zhuangzi are big villages, Cao's family is famous because of Cao Song, a high-ranking official, and the family is prominent, and the whole Caozhuang is also famous.
The Niuzhuang next door is because there is a county lieutenant as a backer, and it has forcibly occupied a lot of surrounding mountains and forests in the past few years, so it has grown rapidly, but its reputation is not a little worse than that of Caozhuang.
Fortunately, Cao Song was gentle by nature and couldn't bear to see these homeless people living a hungry and cold life, so he recruited them to Cao Zhuang, and gave them a house to live in, and fields that could be cultivated, and at the end of the year, he symbolically collected some field rent, so Cao Song had a high reputation among the people.
However, it was not enough to take in the displaced people alone, because Cao Zhuang's land was limited and could not always accept the gradually increasing number of displaced people, so Cao Song had no choice but to report to the imperial court that the local county lieutenant had corrupted the law and forcibly occupied the people's forest land.
Originally, it was effortless for a prominent high-ranking official like Cao Song to report a local county lieutenant, and even a sneeze could make the county lieutenant fart and pee, but the matter was far from as simple as it seemed, it turned out that this county lieutenant was also related to a high-ranking official in the court, that is, Jian Shuo, one of the ten permanent attendants.
Ten permanent servants are tyrannical, selling officials and lords, their fathers, brothers and children are all over the world, rampant in the township, scourge the people, no official dares to manage, this Jian Shuo is deeply favored by Emperor Han Ling, his relatives in the county blatant corruption and perversion of the law, forcibly occupy the people's forest land, although many people know, but no one has dared to come forward to report him, is afraid that he will rely on Saishuo's protection, not only unscathed, but in the future will have to retaliate against those who reported him, then it will really suffer.
Although this Cao Song stood up for the local people and sued this evil county lieutenant in the court, Cao Song was too upright and usually did not go along with other officials, so when he spoke in the court, there were few people who supported him.
