The queen's attention was all on her son Zhao Xin, what was her brother Cao Tong saying there She was in her left ear and out of her right ear, Cao Tong saw her sister humming a tune to her nephew that he didn't understand, and her embarrassed hands had nowhere to put them.

What kind of person is Cao Yan? He is one of the eight immortals we call in later generations Uncle Cao Guo, his mind is all about cultivating immortals and becoming enlightened, what kind of government affairs, state affairs, family affairs he doesn't care about at all, nephew's day is the last time he went out of the customs and entered the palace to visit the errand, his son used the money privately, and it has not been used on the right road.

The queen saw that her son was sleeping honestly, so she whispered: "It's useless for you to come to me!" The person you are looking for should be the emperor, what can I do as a woman, the Cao family has established the Great Song Dynasty with Taizu, and no one has ever done such a bold thing, is this how the eldest brother educates his nephew? What's that money? He dares to earn it, will the Cao family's reputation still have a reputation in the future? ”

Cao Tong said: "Now the grain is in the hands of Lu'er, I wrote to him and asked him to hand over the grain to Bao Zheng for disaster relief, and His Royal Highness King Yong's 100-day purchase money will be made up by Caofu, and Caofu will take out another million yuan of money and grain to help the people of Huaixi." ”

"Big brother, go find Your Majesty! I can't do anything, the water spilled by my married daughter, I can still help with small things, and I can't interfere with this kind of national affairs. ”

"What do you want to find me, you still need to look for it so closely, the queen's son is not good today."

Cao Yan heard Zhao Zhen's voice and hurriedly saluted, Zhao Zhen was not common to this brother-in-law, and motioned for him to get up and reply.

The queen said: "In addition to being heavier today, it is the same as before, like a little piglet." ”

Zhao Zhen showed a kind smile on his face, needless to say, he was favored by his son, half of his hard work was gambling on this villain, seeing that his son was sleeping sweetly and touched his little face, Queen Cao glared at Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen withdrew his big hand in a sneer.

"Uncle Guo, how can you be interested in coming to the palace today, I can count the number of times you have come with five fingers."

Cao Tong told Zhao Zhen what happened, Zhao Zhen's face was very bad, the person reported by Song Qi was actually the Cao family, hehe, the queen picked up her son and went to the side hall, Cao Tong said: "The loss of the imperial court The Cao family will make up for it by smashing the pot and selling iron, and I beg the emperor to spare my cousin's life." ”

"How to spare, you tell me, who gave him the courage at a young age, and the people of Huaixi are waiting for help, what about him? Thinking about getting rich, if it is really a relative of the emperor, the disaster relief can wait for a day or two, if the armies in the north and northwest are waiting for food, do you think it is useful for me to kill the people of the Cao family? Is the Cao family short of money to spend or what's wrong, you have made a lot of money over the years! ”

Cao Tong knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The minister really doesn't know that the son of a thief has such a big thief, the second brother has already rushed to Huaixi to deal with it, and begged the emperor for mercy." ”

Shangguan Wen rubbed Zhao Zhen's back to make him feel a little smoother, threw the teacup he picked up in front of Cao Tong and said: "Qin Cha is Bao Zheng, it depends on how he deals with this matter, you pray for Bao Zheng's food to come faster, I can't guarantee anything if it's slow, he has Shang Fang's sword, and I can't kill people." ”

Cao Tong lost his soul and left, his son's matter is just an introduction, whether there is such a thing The Cao family can't escape this catastrophe, although he likes the Taoist priest, but as the head of the Cao family, this political sensitivity is still there, and some people are jealous of the status of the Cao family.

Shangguan Wen helped Zhao Zhen pour a new cup of tea and said: "The Cao family has always been closer to the family of military generals, with Bao Zheng's temperament, I think Cao Zhifei will not survive, why don't the emperor take this opportunity to control the 50,000 new troops of the Northwest Army in his hands." ”

Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Judging from the combat strength of the Quanzhou Inspection Army, the 50,000 Northwest Army has a lot to do, but have you considered that kid's idea, he has a good relationship with the Cao family." ”

"The emperor is too worried, he and the Cao family only have a good relationship with Cao Feng, nothing to do with the entire Cao family, the Northwest Army is the result of his deal with Cao Ran, and in two or three years, this army may become the most capable of fighting in the Great Song Dynasty, and the courtiers are also happy to see it in the hands of the emperor."

"Last time, the Huanqing Road Soldiers and Horses were good at administering Shiheng, and Fan Zhongyan pulled it up! Let him be the commander! Di Qing served as the deputy commander, Yang Yanzhao was the capital Yu Hou, Zhang Qi was the deputy capital Yu Hou, officially divided into the upper five armies, and the same level as the Sun, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei, and issued a decree from the Zhongshu Gate. ”

Shangguan Wen said: "Chong Shiheng, Di Qing and Yang Yanzhao are fine, Zhang Qi's qualifications are a little low!" I'm afraid that other people will have opinions, three years ago he was still an unknown figure, and Chong Shiheng and Yang Yanzhao are older. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Zhang Qi is that kid's person, although the Northwest Army is produced under the transaction, but after all, he is the mastermind, and the current training and logistics are carried out according to his original plan, without leaving a single person of his, he will think more, and you should not underestimate his influence." ”

The Northwest Army is the foundation of the Cao family and the family of military generals, and now let Zhao Zhen slap back to its original form, leaving a Yang Yanzhao to support him, Yang Jiye is the general of the Later Han Dynasty, the status of the Yang family in the Song Dynasty is not as high as in the romance, it is considered a level of the lowest level, I don't know if the people of the military generals family will vomit blood when they hear the news.

These are all related to Bao Zheng's dime, he was forced to Liangshan by the victims, Jiangning Mansion has no garrison force, if they break through the city gate, Jiangning's economy will regress for ten years, Jiangning is an important town of the imperial court, robbed by the victims, the impact is too bad, and it is not excluded that some people fish in troubled waters, kill people and set fires in the chaos.

"I, Bao Zheng, am also a son and daughter of Luzhou, I am also a human being, the nature of your rushing into Jiangning Mansion has changed, and what will greet you at that time is not relief but suppression, everyone understands each other and helps each other for two days, at most I can find food in two days."

"We are considerate of you, who understands us, there is usually not a grain of grain in the warehouse on Huaixi Road, who are you lying about? Millions of stone grains are gone, you open the usual warehouse and let us see. ”

The baby's heart is bitter! Your Majesty, if you want to play with me, I will resign and go home, these victims are not like uneducated people at all, and the questions they ask are often to the point, calm them down first, don't let them be impulsive, he really doesn't want to think about the Cao family bowing his head.

At this time, the guards pressed Cao Zhifei up, and Cao Zhifei said loudly to the victims: "There is no grain in the imperial court, and there is no grain in the warehouse normally, and the grain is all in the hands of the merchants, everyone go and buy it!" In a few days, the merchant will be gone, so Bao Zheng is lying to you here? After speaking, he didn't forget to laugh at Bao Zheng.

"Break his mouth" The guard's guard fanned the big-eared melon seeds back and forth, Cao Zhifei's mouth was blurred with flesh and blood, and all his teeth were knocked out, but his mouth still kept shut.

The victim below asked, "Lord Qincha, how do you explain the words of Cao Zhuan?" ”

Bao Zheng said: "Usually there is no grain in the warehouse does not mean that the court has no food, I have used my head to guarantee you, the court will transport grain from other places, the emperor did not give up on everyone, do you have no confidence in the emperor?" ”

"The official word is not what you want to say, the emperor is far away in the sky, does he know what the situation in Huaixi is? The transshipment envoy sold the grain to the merchant and didn't see what the emperor did to him, maybe he could be a transshipment envoy in another place. ”

Things are still developing in the bad direction, this time he has to be this villain, when the knife in the hands of others is really unhappy, he said to the people: "Cao Zhifei and his own people stole the grain in the ordinary warehouse on Huaixi Road, Ben Qin sent him here to sentence him to death with the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor, and immediately executed in front of the people of Huaixi." ”

The guards asked Bao Zheng, "My lord, use that guillotine." "In the past, the death penalty of all dynasties was the executioner who cut off the head with a big knife, and this Lord Bao made people create three guillotines directly, and they were also very interested in seeing it.

"Give him decency, use a tiger's head, and cheapen this moth."

Cao Lu's people were dumbfounded when they saw this situation, and hurriedly went back to report to the master, Cao Lu was not calm after hearing it, and he took his cousin in and won the game by himself, and he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

"Childe, why don't we exchange people with food!"

"No, victory is just around the corner, only one step away, at this time you let me give up, absolutely not."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came in kicked Cao Lu and said: "My Cao family really hasn't had a wolf-hearted and dog-lung person like you, your cousin is about to be beheaded, you still think about your food, you are still not human, is your heart black?" ”

Cao Lu said in horror: "Second uncle, why are you here." ”

Cao Ran said: "Don't you know why I came? What I want most now is to stab you to death with a sword, and the entire Cao family will be destroyed by your hands, you know? ”

"They have no evidence, my cousin won't betray me, and my aunt, she gave birth to a prince for the emperor, the emperor won't kill my cousin for this little thing, Bao Zheng is pretending there."

"Pretense? From the master of the third grade, he holds the power of life and death given by the emperor, so is it necessary for him to pretend? Instigating the victims to make trouble, the only way to calm it down now is to kill the culprit, and after returning to the court, not only will there be no punishment but also a reward, believe it or not. ”

Cao Lu is afraid, Cao Zhifei is the biggest force of the Cao family to support him, if Cao Zhifei dies, eat it yourself and wait for death!

"Second uncle, save your cousin! It's all my fault. ”

Cao Ran This will be more sad than dead, the eldest brother let himself come, how will he deal with it, nephew of his relatives.

"Prepare the food! I'm going to ask for Bao Zheng. ”

On the city wall of Jiangning Mansion, Cao Zhifei's head had been placed on the edge of the guillotine, just waiting for Bao Zheng's order, Cao Ran saw this and shouted loudly: "Keep people under the knife"

Bao Zheng sneered and said, "Is Commander Cao trying to rob the law field?" ”

Cao Ran said: "Qin Cha has misunderstood, our Cao family is willing to take out all the food in the family for disaster relief, and beg Lord Bao to spare Cao Zhifei's life." ”

"It's late, say this now, why did you go earlier, it doesn't matter who comes today, execution."
