Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Book Is Completed
"It's not a coincidence, right?" Cao Shuang put the two autopsy reports on the table, and his right index finger rhythmically tapped on the table. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter returning to Xuchang from Yecheng, Cao Shuang found a lot of information about Zhao Qing and Zhao Che, studied it carefully, and wanted to find some clues from it. Cao Shuang always felt that Zhao Che admonished Cao Cao to be the emperor, which was related to Zhao Qing's participation in the assassination, but there was no evidence.
In Cao Pi's study in Yecheng, a roll of bamboo slips was thrown to the ground by Cao Pi, "There is no news of Cao Xi yet?" ”
Cao Wei, the new head of Cao Pi's guard, didn't dare to breathe, and lowered his head to listen to Cao Pi's reprimand. After Cao Xi escaped, Cao Wei, as Cao Pi's cronies, naturally became the chief of the guard. The first thing Cao Wei did after taking office was to find Cao Xi's whereabouts.
After the incident, Cao Pi wrote to Cao Cao to treat him for the crime of not knowing anyone, but he did not find out the identity of Cao Xi's Suomingtang. Cao Cao scolded a few words, and the matter was over. Cao Pi secretly ordered Cao to look for Cao Xi, to see people alive and dead to see corpses. After looking for a few days, there was no news of Cao Xi.
After Cao Pi finished venting, Cao Wei said cautiously, "My subordinates have sent someone to investigate, and there will be news." ”
"The sooner this thing is, the better, you go." Cao Pi suppressed the anger in his heart and let Cao Wei go out to do errands. After Cao Wei resignedly exited the study, he took two breaths of air greedily, and his lungs were extremely refreshing.
"Zhong Kang, you said that the lonely south conquered the north and gave them stability. Why do they still bother to kill the orphan and take the position of the orphan. If it weren't for loneliness, I don't know how many people in the world would be called emperors. Cao Cao leaned on the railing of the Tongque Terrace and looked into the distance, with a little more loneliness in his eyes and a little less domineering in his eyes.
The big man standing behind Cao Cao is the tiger idiot Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang. Xu Chu looked ahead, and respectfully hugged his fist towards Cao Cao, "Chu doesn't know so much, but Xu Chu knows that no matter who wants to be unfavorable to the lord, he has to step on my corpse first." ”
Cao Cao smiled very happily, for so many years, he was most assured and trusted by Xu Chu. Sweeping away the gloom in his heart, Cao Cao tightened the big haze on his body and returned to his residence under the escort of Xu Chu.
The ten-day period agreed between Cao Shuang and Lu Ling arrived, and Cao Shuang rushed to Lu Ling's residence early in the morning. A group of onlookers on the road blocked Cao Shuang's way. Li Cong went into the crowd to inquire about the situation, and hurriedly returned to report to Cao Shuang. It turned out that someone was fur, and business was very prosperous.
"Get around." Cao Shuang waved his hand and asked Li Cong to move on, he was now in a hurry to see Lu Ling. Li Cong drove the carriage carefully around the crowd, the wind blew the curtain on the carriage, Cao Shuang glanced at it, and saw a few big men in the crowd selling fur. Although several people were wearing Han clothes, they were very awkward, and they smelled a smell of sheep on their bodies recently.
Hearing that Cao Shuang was coming, Jia Yu was waiting at the gate early. Cao Shuang got down from the carriage, Jia Yu took a group of people to salute Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang helped Jia Yu into the house. At this moment, the person Cao Shuang wants to see most is Lu Ling.
As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw Lu Ling pondering with a wooden board, and he didn't notice the arrival of Cao Shuang and the others. From a distance, the wooden board in Lu Ling's hand was black and stained with black ink.
"Mr. Lu, Gongzi Cao is here." Jia Yu stepped forward to interrupt Lu Ling's thinking and informed Cao Shuang of the news of coming.
Hearing Cao Shuang coming, Lu Ling hurriedly got up and greeted Cao Shuang. Cao Shuang arched his hand, and stepped forward to look at the plank beside Lu Ling, in addition to the plank in Lu Ling's hand, there were many more around him. As soon as he picked up the board, Cao Shuang's hands were blackened by the black ink on the board. Li Cong hurriedly took out the cloth in his arms to wipe for Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang waved his hand and continued to look at the plank.
"Sir, is it "Spring and Autumn" printed?" Cao Shuang looked at the carved Yang text on the wooden board and guessed that this was a woodblock printed on the wood.
Lu Ling nodded, pulled the cloth in Li Cong's hand and wiped his hands, "If time permits, the whole book can be printed." Saying that, Lu Ling put a dozen white papers full of dense words on the stone platform, and returned the cloth to the angry Li Cong.
Looking at the words on the white paper, compared with the wooden board, Cao Shuang was very surprised, in just ten days, the engraving printing technology that appeared hundreds of years later in the later generations was born in advance. Cao Shuang didn't mention how excited he was in his heart, he seemed to see the scene of paper books being swept away.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Cao Shuang put down the manuscript in his hand and saluted respectfully towards Lu Ling.
Lu Ling stepped forward to help Cao Shuang and smiled slightly, "This is all the credit of Childe, I just turned Childe's idea into reality." "Lu Ling is a craftsman, and he also wanted to rely on a pair of skillful hands to be loyal to the princes of one side to achieve revenge in his heart. But at the bottom of the status, the amazing craftsmanship is regarded as a strange skill, and it hits walls everywhere. Jia Wan and Cao Shuang's courtesy made Lu Ling see a glimmer of hope.
A burst of laughter pulled Lu Ling back to reality from her imagination, and she saw that Cao Shuang's face was smeared with black ink, which looked very cute and funny. Cao Shuang was also awakened by laughter, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Cong held back his laughter and handed over the clean cloth, "Childe, you better wipe your face." ”
Taking Li Cong's cloth, Cao Shuang wiped his face, looked at the black ink on the cloth, and laughed himself.
"Please also ask Mr. to finish carving the "Spring and Autumn" to make the book complete." Cao Shuang saluted Lu Ling very respectfully.
Lu Ling's temperament has changed greatly at this time, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Shuang, "Lu Ling will not disgrace his life, and he will definitely complete it." "If you want to use your skills to benefit the people and make contributions, maybe Cao Shuang in front of him can give him such an opportunity. The distance between the two gradually narrowed, and Cao Shuang and Lu Ling talked a lot, which made Lu Ling even more curious about what Cao Shuang's little head contained.
When Cao Shuang left, Lu Ling did not hold it up, but personally sent Cao Shuang out of the mansion and looked at Cao Shuang away.
Leaving Lu Ling's residence, Cao Shuang asked Li Cong to drive to find Jia Wan. The matter of publishing the book has to be done by Jia Wan, and Cao Shuang has to discuss some things with Jia Wan, after all, it is professional. On the way, several people almost hit Cao Shuang's carriage, and several people left in a hurry.
A few people were dusty, as if they had just returned from afar. Looking at the backs of a few people who were far away, Cao Shuang was worried. Seeing Cao Shuang looking at a few people, Li Cong said, "In the past few days when you have been out, Xuchang has opened a new fur shop, and these people are all buddies from the fur shop. The skins are all high-quality goods, I heard that they are all purchased from other places, and we don't have miles here. ”
Cao Shuang nodded, he had also seen his mother Zhang buy a new wolf skin, saying that he was going to make him a wolf skin jacket. The owner of this fur shop has some ways, such high-quality fur is not easy to get, Cao Shuang was in a hurry to see Jia Wan and left this matter behind.
