Chapter 36: Generosity I
The sun is sinking in the west.
In the courtyard of Yangfu, Cao Ling, the servant who was tied with his hands, was arguing with his uncle, of course, his father Cao Poshi, who had lost an ear, in the courtyard fiercely but restrainedly, while several righteous servants from Yanmen stood aside, listening to the father and son with a serious face, which could be regarded as monitoring and controlling.
As for Gongsun Xun? At this time, he was very interested and speechless to look at such a pair of aristocratic mothers and daughters in front of him who were trembling and standing in each other's arms!
In other words, the mother and daughter are not only gorgeously dressed and unusual, but both mother and daughter are very different...... The mother is about to be in her early thirties, and the so-called charm is really true, and the little lady who is only fourteen or fifteen years old has an outstanding appearance, not only with delicate skin and starry eyes, but more importantly, she is frightened at this time, but she also has a cute posture.
Of course, it is understandable that the mother and daughter are beautiful...... Because these two are none other than Cao Jie's daughter and granddaughter, and they are also the wife and daughter of Gongsun Xun's colleague Feng Fang in Shangshutai. That Cao Poshi is lewd and violent, and the appearance of the woman in his house naturally goes without saying, so it is normal for his daughter to have some colors. As for this little one, not only because her mother is outstanding, but her father Feng Fang is also a recognized beautiful man in Luozhong, otherwise he would not have been valued by Cao Jie and recruited a son-in-law.
"So Mrs. Sister-in-law." After carefully looking at the two of them for a while, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile and asked. "Brother Feng was temporarily summoned by Gong Cao, and then he was worried that your uncle would be mean and not come here for a date, so he sent your mother and daughter to deal with one or two?"
When Mrs. Cao heard this, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy according to her daughter: "That's right, please let Lang Zhong spare our mother and daughter for the sake of seeing my family's Langjun and you as an official in Shangshutai!" β
"Sister-in-law, please." Gongsun Xun hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm not your uncle's scum...... How can you embarrass two weak women? β
Mrs. Cao was immediately overjoyed.
"But it's getting dark at this time, and I'm about to leave the city, so it's better to let you go immediately." After the other party got up, Gongsun Xun suddenly changed his mouth and said. "After all, you can't put the lives of hundreds of people in the hands of the two of you. That's good, first wronged my sister-in-law, Mrs. You, when I arrive tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I will naturally communicate with Cao Gong in detail, and then I will directly put your mother and daughter back to the ...... How? β
His own father's ears are still under his feet, although Mrs. Cao is bitter in her heart, how dare she say half a word? Bento nodded in agreement.
"That's it!" Gongsun Xun suddenly got up and ordered everyone to leave. "Will ......"
"How can there be a father in the world who pits children like you?!" Seeing that he was about to be taken out of the city, at this moment, Cao Ling, the servant who was arguing with his father, couldn't bear it anymore and immediately scolded loudly. "Originally, it was just your own matter, and my father could still deal with it calmly, but now it's good, all the relatives in the family have been coaxed by you, how can my father dare to do it easily?"
"I am your own father, and I am the ...... to take the sin of my father"
"Gagged!" Gongsun Xun didn't bother to pay attention to these two people at all. "All the sergeants of the Yue Cavalry Battalion were gagged, tied up firmly, and locked in the room. All four of them are gagagged and tied up, sent into the two cars outside, and left people in to take care of them, let's go out of the city in a big way! As for the servants in the house, leave a few decent escorts to accompany them...... Leave the rest alone and let them flee with the twilight on their own. β
The righteous people never said much, but followed the orders one after another...... However, this made Gongsun Xun a little ashamed, his generation left his hometown with him, he was looking for a background, but he was involved by himself to die in the rivers and lakes.
Even if the world changes greatly after seven or eight years, I can repay them for this kindness, but as the so-called deceased is like a husband, how can I pay back these seven or eight years?
So, for a while, Gongsun Xun was also full of worries.
However, not to mention that Gongsun Xun carefully hijacked the Cao family and went out of the city, on the other hand, Cao Jie, who was sitting under the corridor in his backyard, finally stopped his tears and reluctantly took his posture.
"Zixian and I are like father and son, since there is no one else in his family, and the clan has already been born, then after seven days of resting the spirit, in the name of my Cao Hanfeng's heir, he will be buried in the Cao clan cemetery I chose before in Beibi Mountain...... It is fixed on the side of my tomb, so that when I get to the hidden capital, I can also talk to him about the righteousness of father and son! At this point, under the sunset, Cao Jie, who had gray hair and red eyes, and a hoarse voice, suddenly raised his head and glanced at the group of people in front of him like a falcon. Do you understand everything? β
A group of guests and disciples hurriedly bowed their heads and agreed, but a tall middle-aged man with excellent appearance looked a little uneasy and anxious.
"The rest of the people are waiting in the front yard for the time being." Seeing this, Cao Jie waved his hand, but gestured slightly to the middle-aged man. "Xiao Feng, do you have something to say?"
"Your Excellency!" As soon as the rest of the people left, this middle-aged man with excellent appearance immediately leaned over to the ground. "The current situation is clear that our whole family has fallen into the hands of that grandson thief dog, please ......"
"What's the panic?" Cao Jie scolded expressionlessly. "Gongsun Xun is also from a family and a son of a famous family, will he still lewd your wife and daughter? Even if the net is really broken this time, he will also send Zhi'er's mother and daughter back first. And in my opinion, those two letters may not have been the ones he forced your uncle to write......"
Feng Zhi, who is Feng Fang's eldest daughter, is also the little lady who was teamed up by her grandfather, father, and mother this time, and then thrown into the fire pit in a daze, and was deeply favored by Cao Jie.
"That's what my lord said." Feng Fang hurriedly replied. "Actually, I know this, but it's really hard for me to meditate in such a situation! My lord, not to mention that there is a risk of accidental injury when the fish dies and the net is broken, just say that if this matter is known by someone with a heart, a plan will be made, and Gongsun Xun's thief dog will be attacked and killed together with his uncle, Ling brother, and Zhi'er's mother and daughter, then wouldn't we ...... Aren't you going to be left alone? β
"It doesn't matter." Cao Jie immediately waved his hand and replied...... For some reason, maybe because Luo Zixian's corpse was behind him, his mind was extremely clear at this time. "Yuan Feng is paralyzed, and he is about to choke, and Qiao Xuan is greatly favored by Gongsun Xun to save his son, and he will never do this. Except for these two, there is no one in Luo Zhong who has both this determination and ability! β
"Really?" Feng Fang will be skeptical.
"Yes." Cao Jie replied affirmatively. "Xiao Feng, at this time, I only have one thing to ask you, do you want to protect your wife and daughter, or do you want to kill Gongsun Xun to vent your hatred?"
"What did you say?" Feng Fang immediately spread his hands and asked. "Gongsun Xun deserves to die, but what if he can save his family first and let him get away for a few days temporarily?"
"That being the case, I already have a plan in mind." Cao Jie replied indifferently. "What he asks for is just two things, one is to protect the family of Erqiu and Erliu, and the other is to leave with his own body...... Perhaps he is! β
"That's the case, but you have to do something, right?" Feng Fang was at a loss for a moment. "Who will contact, who will deal with the aftermath, and who will respond?"
"Tomorrow, I can go to Shangshutai to talk to Lu Zhi, and I don't need to contact Gongsun Xun directly." Cao Jie was still expressionless. "And with Lu Zigan in the middle, that guy will definitely not go back on his word. There is no need for anyone to answer, a group of big living people, as long as Gongsun Xun receives the letter and releases people, can't he return to Luoyang? As for the aftermath...... There is something you need to do, Xiao Feng! β
"Please command, sir!" Feng Fang was already a little convinced when he heard the truth, and he hurriedly bowed his head at this time.
"My biggest fear is that things will come to light...... If you really encounter a stunned young man at the bottom, I don't know how to cover it up, and it will be difficult to do it at that time. Cao Jie pointed to the sunset in the distance. If it's too late today, I guess Gongsun Xun should have already started to flee, and you should take someone to Yangqiu Mansion immediately...... It's Yangqiu, right? β
"Yes!"
"Bring enough men to find the soldiers of your uncle's cavalry battalion." Cao Jie commanded. "If you are alive, you will be carefully supervised with me, and if you are dead, you will bury me well!"
"Understood." Feng Fang had the backbone of the backbone, and he was also a lot more profitable, and immediately got up after receiving the order.
However, after walking a few steps outside, he suddenly reacted back, and turned around in the courtyard and saluted: "Please also ask your father-in-law to mourn!" β
Cao Jie's face darkened, and he didn't agree to the other party, but directly leaned on the eaves pillar under the corridor to get up, and slowly walked to the room where the body was parked behind him...... He still has a suicide note that he hasn't had time to look at carefully!
Gongsun Xun's operation out of the city was almost too smooth...... In fact, until he led people to meet Lu Fan, Lou Gui, Han Dang, Xian Pei and others outside the city, he did not encounter any serious obstruction.
Obviously, his younger brother, son, daughter, and granddaughter were all kidnapped, and it was clear that with Cao Jie's level, it should be easy to see that something was wrong from Luo Mu, who was behaving strangely, and it was clear that Feng Fang only needed to go to his father-in-law to check the information, which should cause vigilance, and then the truth would be revealed...... However, Cao Hanfeng didn't seem to be too lazy to pay attention to him! Didn't react the whole time!
"What about the family members of the fourth duke?" In a forest under the twilight, Gongsun Xun tried his best to suppress the surprise in his heart, but he first asked about the situation outside the city. "How is it all arranged?"
"Back to Shaojun's words." Lou Gui replied first. "I received a rumor from Kuaima, and I directly brought people to meet him, first gathered the family members of the fourth duke, and then asked Wei Yue to take some local people from my side to protect them to the southwest overnight!"
"Southwest?"
"Exactly." Lou Gui replied calmly. "There is the Yellow River in the north, although the east and southeast passes are close, but it is too late to get out of the pass today, and once there are chasing soldiers, they will also catch up from these two places...... Instead of this, it is better to let them rush overnight and take a long detour from Luhun Pass in the southwest to Nanyang. In this way, although it is a night rush, it can also go out of the customs early tomorrow morning, and it does not delay time, and once you arrive in Nanyang, there are many families there, and there are many party members and scholars, and the court can not get it even if there are chasing soldiers! β
"Makes sense." Gongsun Xun praised the other party once. "But I ordered it in a hurry, and I was a little out of calculation."
"Moreover, Ziheng also sent someone back to inform the young lady and Fan Shaojun." Han Dang added on the side. "It's said that they should all hide in Duke Liu's mansion, and there is a saying that they don't come out even one step before!"
"That's right, too." Gongsun Xun became more and more bowed. "Sure enough, as soon as there are more people, they are a lot more thoughtful, unlike me who is messing around alone, and then I am getting more and more at a loss......"
At this point, he looked at the judge who was standing aside: "Brother Zhengnan, I won't hide it from you, or maybe you already know that I hastily bumped into Cao Poshi in the Yanggong Mansion and had to kidnap this person, and later this person also recruited his own son and daughter...... In other words, in such a situation, it is extremely difficult for me and Cao Jie to stop, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of swords and soldiers tomorrow. You are a scribe, and it is only in vain to stay here, so it is better to chase after your housewife, take care of one or two along the way, and also do a loyal sign. β
After listening to this quietly, he took half a step back and bowed to each other on the side of the road: "Lang Zhong's help is worthy of being remembered in the five!" But to leave a comment, please Lang Zhong don't have to say more, I already have a plan in my heart! β
Gongsun Xun immediately bowed his head.
At this time, the last glimmer of light in the west disappeared, the stars and the moon bent, and it stands to reason that Gongsun Xun should have hurried overnight and walked with the four hostages in his hands to the southeast of the Xu clan...... On the one hand, they settled there, and on the other hand, they also served as a cover for those families who fled from the southwest...... But for some reason, he did not leave for a long time, nor did he give the order.
The judge is an outsider, so naturally it is not easy to speak; Although Han Dang has gradually grown a lot because he is literate and practicing martial arts by Gongsun Xun's side, he is a martial artist after all, and he doesn't understand it; Only Lou Gui and Lu Fan, the two looked at each other repeatedly, as if they had some opinions and conjectures.
"Shaojun." Lou Gui was the first to hold back. "I guessed that you had a thought or two, but why should you be so demanding perfection at this time?"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"With all due respect," Lou Gui disagreed, continuing to persuade. "In the past half a year in the Qi family, I have also had a lot of contact with outlaws from all over the world, and then I have more and more confirmed my thoughts when I was young, this big man...... In any case, this time the young monarch participated in the killing of Wang Fu and the expulsion of Yuan Yu, and there were four Zhongchang servants who were brought down alone, plus this time to rescue the families of the four dukes, they have already taken off the shackles of the border county and become a model for scholars! It's not worth the trip to Luoyang! In such a situation, it is a fate, but in a few years, we can also make a comeback from outside the plug, and our reputation will become more and more famous! β
Gongsun Xun still shook his head.
"Wen Qi." At this moment, Lu Fan also suddenly stepped forward and asked. "You said bluntly to me, do you think that if you go to wander the rivers and seas, I will be unbearable for me, Uncle Yu, and Yigong to follow you all the way from Yanmen? So I want to try my best to be honest with Cao Jie for a while, ask for a safe place, and leave everyone a clean future? β
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion around, and the judge also turned his head slightly to look at it.
Gongsun Xun glanced at Lu Fan deeply, and then simply admitted: "I do have this concern!" β
"Then forgive me, the writer, for being blunt." Lu Ziheng immediately responded. "It's good that you have this heart, but is Cao Jie a good person? Wang Fu and he were ruling comrades for many years, but he was thrown out by him and died without a place to be buried; Chen Gong and Yang Gong had intentions for him, and before they could start thinking about it, they found him, and then immediately accused him of treason and went to prison to die...... How can you expect such a fierce man, a rarity in the world, to be a hostage in our possession, and how can you expect such a person to be honest with you? β
Gongsun Xun lowered his head and thought for a moment, but still shook his head slowly: "Ziheng doesn't need to say more, I have actually been thinking about it for a long time when I left the city...... If it is really a fate, it is said that the future of you and all of you will be stopped, and it is another thing to say that the family members of the four princes have become fugitives, and Cao Jie's fierce and lewd spirit will be uncontrollable! In this way, isn't it not only you, but also the four princes, and the world?! β
"What does Gongsun Langzhong want?" The judge suddenly asked loudly.
"I have made up my mind, I want to take the opportunity of the hostages in my hands to enter the city to meet Cao Hanfeng and catch him off guard." Gongsun Xun's face remained unchanged and said slowly. "And then you have to suppress its prestige in front of it, and ask for a situation where you can do your best and have a clear conscience!"
Han Dang and the others changed color one after another, Lou Gui couldn't help but sigh, and Lu Fan was uncertain.
In other words, it's okay for others, Lu Ziheng participated in the whole process, and he was quite ashamed because of Luo Mu's matter...... In his opinion, if he really wants to say a word to comment on the situation in front of him, it is still what he said to Gongsun Xun before - Cao Hanfeng has exhausted his strength!
And if you take into account the huge bargaining chips that Cao Poshi's death generally brings to his side, to be honest, Lu Fan really thinks that it is feasible for Gongsun Xun to confront Cao Jie face to face this time, and there is not much risk. And with Lu Ziheng's outspoken character, he is indeed ready to say so...... Before beating around the bush, he was actually taking the opportunity to help his father-in-law win people's hearts.
However, just when Lu Fan saw the opportunity and was about to make a final decision, the judge was directly facing Gongsun Xun again:
"I am young and well-known, and the world says that I am generous and fierce, and I have an unbreakable style. But today, I know that what is called gentleman's generosity is invisible! If Lang Zhong insists on making the trip, the person who is worthy of the deceased master has no virtue and no talent, only a body and a sword are willing to enter the city with Lang Zhong, thinking that he is guarding! β
"Don't hide it from Brother Zhengnan," Gongsun Xun's face moved slightly. "I'm missing a blade to give me courage!"
Lu Ziheng immediately kept silent.
