Cao's house, that is, Cao Teng's home.

"What?"

Cao Teng's father, Cao Huazhen, jumped barefoot from the resting couch to the ground, his eyes staring at the soldier who reported the news as if he was about to eat someone, "You say it again." ”

How could the soldier resist the general's might, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly said it again, saying it upside down, but repeating it a hundred times is that Cao Yanei is already dead.

can say that the dead are alive, but the little soldier doesn't have that ability.

He was just one of the forbidden troops who intercepted and killed Zhao Yue and his party on the street, he was a gang leader, an old forbidden army, that is, a soldier and an old ruffian, because he was decisive and fast at that time, he became the lucky one under the knife of Zhao Yue and his party, and he did not die in North Street, and immediately ran to Cao's mansion to report the news as soon as he had an idea: report the news immediately, so that General Cao knew that he was prepared to react early, which is also a credit, at least he can show his face in front of General Cao and brush his sense of existence......

Today, Cao Hua really shouldn't be worthy, so he is not in the yamen, but resting at home, but he also knows that the second child of the Cangzhao family may have entered Beijing, this kind of thing, it is impossible for the soldiers guarding the city gate not to report him, but he never expected that his baby son actually participated in the matter of dealing with Zhao Yue without authorization, and died in it, and Zhao Yue, who was calculated and cleaned up, was completely fine, and did not lose a single hair, but took the opportunity to kill fiercely on the street, showing his strength and raising his prestige, and deterring the capital......

And until now, he didn't know that it was only because Cao Mansion was in Dongcheng District, where the nobles mainly lived.

The veteran ruffian reacted quickly at the time and came to report very early, but the distance from the incident in Beicheng District to Caofu in Dongcheng District was too far...... When the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was at its most prosperous, the permanent population was 1.6 or 7 million or more, plus a large number of foreign service population, the land area required by such a huge population must be large enough, not to mention that there were more than so many people in the city who had to live, work and live in houses, workshops, and countless shops...... Covering an area, there are many temples or Taoist temples of all sizes, such as the Great Xiangguo Temple, which once had beautiful gardens and countless exquisite or magnificent or majestic temples, and there are military camps that can live and train at least 100,000 troops; There are also mountains and rivers in the city, as well as vegetable fields and wilderness areas for sheep grazing that are engaged by the poor people in the city, and large and small pig farms that were once controlled by gangs....... The distance between east and west or north and south of such a city must be twenty or thirty miles. Even if the veteran ruffian carried forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and tiredness, he ran over with all his strength to report the news and strive for meritorious service....... A street patrol like him has no horses to ride and is not qualified to ask for a horse, and those who have horses will borrow him to report the news and brush their faces....... In short, I was sweating profusely in the winter, panting like a cow, my eyes were clouded, my legs were like lead, my whole body seemed to be scattered, my head was itchy and chaotic, and I finally ran to the ...... But it has been a long time since the accident, and Zhao Yue and his entourage have already left the area of the accident restaurant, and taught King Fu a lesson, and also cleaned up the gang of people who wanted to make meritorious contributions and wanted to be red-eyed, and left North Street and turned onto the road to Dongcheng District.

Cao Huazhen, getting the news of his son's misfortune is really a bit like five thunderbolts, his brain is buzzing, his whole body is full of murderous energy, and his eyes are instantly blood-red.......

He, like other veteran nobles in the capital, has several wives, well, there are not ten and there is no less, this is still not counting the many maids and maids who also serve as the function of the bed, and the many maids and maids who have no official names in the house are not counted, and the few rooms hidden outside are not counted, well, he himself has no physical problems, as a general in Beijing with some real skills, his martial arts are good, his bow and horse are skilled, his body is also strong, and the offspring that can be created are not few, and his son alone can form a class, and there is more than Cao Teng, Cao Teng is just the eldest son, and most importantly, Cao Teng is the only one in the Cao family who can read the book since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and the whole family can be happy to see the seeds of hope for the Jinshi in the serious examination. The children of other families are either rough embryos who can only play tricks and mix with military food, or they can only fool around with the blessings of their families, and besides, after hundreds of years of luxury and wealthy families, it is inevitable that the latter type of unscrupulous children account for the absolute majority.

The Cao family is prosperous, and the side branches that will not be so good when they are only split out will multiply extremely large, and the children in the clan don't seem to see any really stupid people, all of them are not bad for the shrewdness that a wealthy family should have, but children who are really promising are as rare as a few horns. The same is true of Cao Huazhen's sons, most of them are waste, and those who are a little talented are just ordinary people, and none of these sons can inherit Cao Hua's real courage and can play military talent......

In this way, it can be seen how important Cao Teng's status is in Cao Huazhen's eyes.

Cao Huazhen is counting on this eldest son to give him a long face and continue to support the wealth and glory of his branch.

For the entire Cao family, he is also a side branch, and he was also a bastard who was not taken seriously and suffered countless white-eyed and countless discrimination from the children of the Yan branch in his growth, fortunately, he became a talent, and became the most promising person in the Cao family today, the most prestigious and powerful person in the army, and the Yan branch also had to respect him, and he had to please him to do something, and the arrogant Yan Zhi had to rely on him to support the wealth and dignity of the entire family. It is precisely because of this experience that he is particularly sensitive and attaches great importance to whether future generations can inherit and support him......

finally got up, and he must not fall down in the blink of an eye in the son's generation, and then suffer the contempt and contempt of his grandson.

For other sons, no matter how big or small, he has no expectations, except for occasionally getting angry and teaching these evil obstacles a lesson and hating them, he is usually too lazy to worry about the fire in vain, and go with these bastards.

Anyway, his family business is to be passed on to Cao Teng, whether it is according to the inheritance rights that the eldest son should have, or according to the interest.

As for the other sons, when they grow up, they will drive them out and set up another door, if they have any ability to eat, if they like to fool around, then they can mix to their heart's content, and if they have the ability, they will eat a big meal, and if they can't do it, they will eat........ At most, the government will use some connections or wealth resources to take care of it.

This is what the big families of this era do: all the limited resources are poured into the children who are worth cultivating. For those who have no interest, especially concubines, they may not even really care about life or death.

However, it is such a child who has poured into Cao Huazhen, well, to a certain extent, it can also be said that he has poured the expectation and love of the entire family, and he actually died......

died of an accident, and in the capital, he was killed on the ground in the capital where the Cao family's military power was in charge.

How can Cao Hua really bear this.

He didn't care about the details of the accident, whether the disaster was actually caused by his son's cleverness and arrogance, whether Zhao Yue was an innocent victim and not the real murderer who killed Cao Teng, he didn't care about everything.

Cao Huazhen only cared that his precious eldest son died, and he died a miserable death, and he was killed by someone.

This mentality is the pain of the powerful: everything that is wrong is the fault of others. No one can be wronged if they are wronged. If there is fire, anger, and hatred, you have to find someone to bear it. As for whether the bearer is innocent or not, it doesn't matter, he doesn't care, and he doesn't care.

This is the hegemony of power, and it is the arrogance and arrogance that will inevitably be cultivated under the privilege of long-term wealth and high numbers...... It's all human, but someone can not treat others as human beings.

Cao Huazhen let out a terrible roar in his throat like a wounded beast, and he put on his armor and gun like crazy, and ran to the accident site with his own soldiers.

As for the strict prohibition of arsonance in the capital, and even more so in a noble concentration area like Dongcheng District, Cao Huazhen couldn't care about it at this time, and he didn't care that it would incur the impeachment of the imperial envoy.

Besides, in this special period when the country is in danger and the people are panicking, the officials who are poorer than other types of officials and have no pleasure and are uncomfortable are full of complaints and dissatisfaction, and they have no heart to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and they have bothered to spit on the impeachment of important officials.

At this time, it is not the time for the official to brush up on his sense of existence, and he will only be disgusted and even hated by the emperor and his ministers as having many things to add extra trouble. At a time when the country has to pay the most attention to the army, the officials will not be stupid enough to impeach and offend a general who has the ability to play a big role in defending the capital.

This is not the time before, and this is not the time when civil officials can continue to trample on the martial arts with their big mouths and arrogance.

The civilian clique still despises martial artists after hundreds of years of the common habit of governing the military with civility, but at this time, it can only be disdainful and no longer easily exposed to the surface.

As for the patrolling forbidden army, they will also stop the horses, which is not a problem for Cao Huazhen at all.

He, and the elders or peers in the family who are in the army are in charge of the forbidden army, and he is the royal family to contain the boss of the Beijing army - the military power of Gao Yu, the third lieutenant, Zhao Ji is not an ordinary favor to Gao Yu, but no matter how much he is favored, there are necessary checks and balances to prevent one person from monopolizing power, which is a necessary practice for anyone who sits on the throne to do so.

Dongcheng District is not under the jurisdiction of Cao Huazhen, it doesn't matter.

As one of the top generals and important members of the Beijing army, the forbidden army in Beijing has to give him face and convenience. What's more, Cao Hua is really not a person who can do it, and there is the support of the entire Cao family, the veteran founder of the country.

It's just that Cao Hua is really a madman who is anxious to see what is going on with his son, full of heart as long as he kills the group that may be Zhao Yue with his own hands, and avenges his son for his own hatred, but his personal soldiers are not in a hurry, he has a war horse to ride, but most of the personal soldiers have no horses, well, only the two relatives have horses with horses, which are used as horses for communication and order transmission, and the imperial court allows the Beijing army generals to be specially equipped, and other war horses have to be used for cavalry in the army, and cannot be used for the personal soldiers and private soldiers of Jiangmen.

As a result, these pro-soldiers were so tired that they ran to the accident site half-dead, and they couldn't stand steadily, they just wanted to lie down on the ground and regain their breath, how could they have any combat effectiveness.

Cao Huazhen himself and the two horses rushed to the first place, but the time has passed for a long time, Zhao Yue and his party left early and went to Dongcheng District, but it was a different path from Cao Huazhen, Cao Huazhen came from Dongcheng and wanted to chase or intercept Zhao Yue, but he was not lucky enough to meet him. It was useless for him to mobilize the nearby forbidden army to besiege and kill Zhao Yue. I can't find anyone. I don't know if it's Zhao Yue himself, where did the pedestrian go.

The capital is too big, and there are so many places to go. Even if someone told Cao Huazhen that Zhao Yue probably went to Dongcheng, where would he find it in a hurry.

Cao Huazhen held back his anger and murder, and after missing it, he didn't kill, and only saw the pitiful and miserable scene of the tragic death of his sister-in-law, and he became more and more angry.

At this time, Cao Teng and the Confucian son or the yamen who died in the verandah of the restaurant, the corpses have naturally been cleaned out of the ruins by the street patrol forbidden army, and the forbidden army specially collected Cao Gongzi in a coffin...... All industries in the capital were closed, but the coffin shop was the only one that could continue to be operated by ordinary people. In a hurry, the forbidden army that wanted to curry favor with the boss of the boss, General Cao, could still get a coffin in time at this time, of course, the coffin was not good, and it could only be used temporarily. The exquisite coffin has to be customized by appointment.

As for the other sons of Yanai who died, the forbidden army didn't care.

These unlucky children of "other people's" families have nothing to do with the forbidden army. Whoever should be in charge will naturally be dealt with.

The other lucky ones who suffered in the verandah accident but did not die were all slightly or seriously injured, and were rescued by the help of the forbidden army either themselves or by others, and at this time these delicate Confucian sons and brothers had all left crying and shouting under the support or carrying of the little servants and bodyguards.

The rest are dead people, and no one can make Cao Huazhen, who is angry and lose his mind, also want to figure out: who instigated his son to impulsively engage Zhao Yue.

Cao Huazhen was very sure that his son must have been instigated by someone.

Otherwise, his son is so smart, so shrewd and sensible, so promising, so ....... I would never do such a thing without consulting him and asking him.

The loveliest and most precious thing about my son is this smart head, but it is also the head that has been destroyed...... This sharp arrow pierced through the sun, and the *** son died so miserably, so pitiful.....

Was this a serial conspiracy, or was it an accident or a pure coincidence?

Cao Huazhen held his son's body, which had already stiffened in the cold wind, and roared to the sky: If you don't kill Zhao Yue'er, if you don't find out who designed to kill his son, you will take revenge, he will not be a man.

In fact, this wild run and cold wind have passed the most impulsive period of the initial bad news, and then go to the scene to understand and observe and deal with it..... After some hard work, he had regained some of his senses at this time, but his resentment and grievance were even more intense and crazy when he saw that his son was undoubtedly dead and that Da Luo Immortal could not be saved.

At this time, the forbidden army actively provided him with more evidence of the legal cleanup of Zhao Yue: Zhao Yue also destroyed the noble Fu Wangye, and even more arrogantly and brutally killed the criminal department who wanted to arrest him........

"Pass my command, and send men to find out where the little beast has fled to this general at once. If the general catches him, he will be broken into thousands of pieces with his own hands......"

Just as he was roaring like a beast, suddenly a group of officials came.

The leader saluted Cao Huazhen with a fist, first comforted the pain of losing his son politely, but then said with a stern face: "Please General Cao deign to go with his subordinates." ”

Cao Huazhen, who was in the heat and had nowhere to vent, heard the voice, his eyes stood up, and his eyes were full of anger and disdain: You little Kaifeng Mansion Catcher actually dared to find trouble with Ben General at this time? Could it be that you are impatient......

Unexpectedly, this person who seemed to be the little man who was the leader of Kaifeng Mansion was tougher, and showed Cao Huazhen a small card in a concealed hand style, and Cao Huazhen was shocked when he saw it, and said in a gloomy and serious whisper: "Although General Cao's loss of a son hurts, don't be so angry that you lose your mind and forget the proportions that your courtiers should keep." The accident of Ling Gongzi's death is regrettable, but it is very strange, involving the assassination of Liao State spies, this matter is very suspicious and very bad, if it is successful at that time, the consequences are terrible. The official didn't say it, I believe General Cao also understood the power. Therefore, it is better for you to cooperate with the official to clarify this matter and get rid of the suspicion to His Majesty. ”
