Chapter 43 Touching Porcelain

On the second day of the rebellion of Hou Dong and others, Hou, Sun, Liang, Wu, Dong, and Wang Liujiayi tribes, and the rest of the tribes were assigned to Youzhou. Through this incident, the reputation of the bad people is known to everyone. For a while, the people in the court were panicked, especially those who had a relationship with Hou Dong and the other six families and those who did not turn in the anti-Cao Bubo.

In the months that followed, the bad people did not take any action, and Cao Shuang also lived a life of private school, home, and Xiahou Yuan Mansion. In just a few months, Cao Shuang's martial arts have improved rapidly, which made Xiahou Yuan very happy, and at the same time increased the intensity of Cao Shuang's training.

In November of the 14th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's class returned to the court, and all the people from Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, went out of the city for ten miles to greet him. All the officials were present, and Cao Shuang, who was the actual person in charge of the bad guys, was naturally also present. I saw flags in the distance, and a team appeared in front of everyone. Sitting in the carriage, Liu Xie tidied up his clothes and stepped out of the carriage with the support of Xiao Huangmen. The court officials also followed closely behind Liu Xie, and they all bowed and saluted, "Welcome to the prime minister!" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly dismounted and bowed to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty." ”

"The prime minister has worked hard for the Han, and I should be like this." The smile on Liu Xie's face seemed to make people see a scene of harmony between the monarch and the minister, but Cao Shuang, who knew the inside story, had a sarcastic smile on his face, "It's also difficult for him." Liu Xie didn't need to go out of the city for ten miles to meet Cao Cao, but in Huaxin, he kept asking the Son of Heaven to go out of the city to meet Cao Cao, in order to show the favor of the Son of Heaven to the prime minister. A lot of porcelain was broken in Liu Xie's bedroom that night, and Cao Shuang of course knew about it for the first time through the night detective.

"When will you kid learn this from him." As soon as he heard this hoarse timbre, Cao Shuang knew that this was what Jia Xu who was standing in front of him said. The small voice can only be heard by Cao Shuang, who is closest to Jia Xu, naturally this is what Jia Xu said to Cao Shuang.

After Cao Cao entered the city, the first person to summon was not the military generals under his account, but the bad captain Cao Shuang. The grandfather and grandson talked secretly in the study for a long time, and even lunch was eaten in the study. After that, Cao Cao summoned the military generals with Xun Yu as the main minister and Xiahou Dun as the main general, and Cao Cao consulted with them for a long time until the sun sank in the west. When he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xun Yu's face was very ugly, and Xun Yu followed behind Xun Yu with a helpless face.

On the second day, when the government was discussed, under the leadership of Cheng Yu, the generals and soldiers of the Eastern Crusade were rewarded. The bad people contributed a lot to the rebellion of the six families including the Hou family, and the bad people were incorporated into the official establishment of the imperial court from then on, and the monthly stipend was directly distributed by the imperial court. Many people were also promoted, especially those who were happy in the court, but they were not happy. Because after being promoted, they found that they had no real power in their hands, which is the so-called bright promotion and secret descent, all of which is naturally thanks to Jia Xu and Cao Shuang's "clearing the cage" plan. Some of the people who didn't deal with Cao Cao also stopped, and they kept to themselves for a long time in the future.

Cao Shuang handed over most of the affairs of the bad people to Qi Fei, and devoted himself to his studies and martial arts. One day, Cao Shuang got off the private school and rode a carriage to Xiahou Yuan's mansion. Suddenly, the horses pulling the carriage screamed, and Cao Shuang, who was sitting in the carriage, almost fell. I saw a person lying on his stomach in front of the carriage, screaming oops.

"You hurt me, and you have to pay me for it." Lying in front of the carriage, he was dressed in tattered clothes, full of dysentery, and shouted unrelentingly.

Cao Shuang got down from the carriage and looked at the dysentery head that was still a foot away from the horse pulling the carriage, Cao Shuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is the legendary porcelain touch." ”

"What kind of porcelain, boy, have you touched someone?" The dysentery spat on the ground and said angrily.

"Daring, do you know who you're talking to?" Li Cong stepped forward to scold the scoundrel with dysentery and blocked Cao Shuang behind him.

Cao Shuang waved his hand and stopped Li Cong from continuing. Cao Shuang's face did not have his name written on it, but the Xuantie token on his waist silently identified Cao Shuang. There is only one Xuantie token in Xuchang, and that is Cao Shuang, the bad guy captain. The leper head didn't know the word "bad person" on the token, but the onlookers recognized it, and watched from afar.

"I don't care who you are, you are the emperor, and you can't hurt people on the street casually." Dysentery is a well-known scoundrel in Xuchang City, who lives by relying on the east family and the west family to cheat on weekdays. Dysentery is considered to have hit the blade of a knife, not to mention hurting people on the street, even if it kills people on the street, it is nothing in the eyes of bad people, and some people have even begun to worry about dysentery. Jing Yang's hand had already touched the hilt of the sword, and as long as Cao Shuang gave an order, the blood on his head would be splattered on the spot.

"Since it was my carriage that hit it, then this son will never shirk responsibility." Cao Shuang said as he took out a copper coin from his arms and put it in his hand, his face full of concern.

This surprised many people present, because of the rebellion of the six families of the Hou family, more than four or five hundred people were killed by bad people. After that, there were rumors of strange noises coming from the mass graves outside the city, and no one dared to walk in the middle of the night. Cao Shuang didn't care about the lives of four or five hundred people, and today he was actually responsible for the carriage collision. Everyone secretly thought in their hearts, either we took the wrong medicine, or Cao Shuang didn't take the medicine.

The dysentery head originally thought that he would have to be beaten at the lightest today, but he didn't expect Cao Shuang to give him back the money. This made the dysentery head stunned in place, and Cao Shuang told the dysentery head that if the money was not enough, he could go to the bad mansion to find him. Cao Shuang looked at the faces of several people in the crowd and looked very bad, Cao Shuang sneered twice and got into the carriage and left.

"Commander, dysentery has failed." A few people in the crowd of onlookers just now knelt in a gloomy alley to report the situation on the street just now, this person was dressed in black brocade, and his sparse eyebrows wrinkled, "Forget it, let's think about this matter in the long run." ”

After practicing martial arts from Xiahou Yuan, Cao Shuang quietly came to Jia Xu's mansion. When Jia Xu saw Cao Shuang wearing a black cloak in front of him, Jia Xu was still quite surprised, "What's wrong?" Have you learned from the one in the palace? ”

Cao Shuang put the cloak aside and scratched his left eyebrow, "Mr. knows about dysentery, right?" ”

Jia Xu, who had his eyes closed, nodded, "I've heard a little." ”

"Who do you think it is, sir?" Cao Shuang continued to ask, Cao Shuang came here tonight to be so mysterious, just for this matter. Cao Shuang had already noticed that someone had come specifically to him for dysentery.

"Recently, the limelight of bad people is too strong, if the bad people's reputation is damaged, who is the most beneficial?" Jia Xu didn't say the answer directly, and sold it to Cao Shuang.

"Sir, what you said is ......" Cao Shuang stood up anxiously and said to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu interrupted Cao Shuang's words, "There are some things that don't need to be said, you and I just need to know it in our hearts." ”

Cao Shuang stopped talking, and kept tapping the table with his right index and middle fingers. Jia Xu sat quietly in his seat, taking a sip of tea from time to time. After a while, Cao Shuang opened his mouth and asked, "If I kill dysentery on the street, there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"You slew four or five hundred men for the sake of the prime minister; If you were to kill dysentery on the street today, what would the prime minister think? The prime minister will think that you are pampered and arrogant, and you will kill people with your strength. This will also give those in the court who are already dissatisfied with the bad guys to seize the handle, and Ling Jun was very dissatisfied with you and my 'clearing the cage' plan in the first place. The dysentery you killed is just a scoundrel, but the things behind this are not something that can be settled by one head and two heads. Jia Xu gently crutches the floor with a cane, and said with a little emotion, "One mountain can't tolerate two tigers!" ”

After hearing these words, Cao Shuang was shocked into a cold sweat, and almost gave others a fulcrum, lifting up the whole bad person. Cao Shuang muttered in his mouth, "Fortunately, I held back at the beginning." Cao Shuang also thought about chopping off his head with a knife at that time, but thinking about the attitude of the court officials towards bad people, Cao Shuang still endured it.

"So you should learn more from the Son of Heaven." Jia Xu sent Cao Shuang, who was dressed in a black cloak, out with a cane.
