Chapter 40 Hou Mansion

The children returned early from school and were busy gathering people. Some green-skinned gangsters on the streets of Xuchang fled into the nearby alleys like a plague god, and the speed of the door panels of some shops also accelerated instantly. Two children who were playing on the street were also brought home by the child's father.

Looking at such a scene, Cao Shuang felt helpless. In Xuchang City, the name of bad people can definitely stop crying at night. The people Cao Cao killed in the hunting ground were all arrested by bad people, and most of the executions were also bad people. In the eyes of the people, the bad people are the devil with green faces and fangs, who eat people and do not spit out bones. There were no other pedestrians on the street at all, and even the barking vicious dogs became very obedient when they saw the bad people. More than 100 bad people walked mightily on the street and went straight to the Hou Mansion in the east of the city.

Hou Mansion is Hou Dong's mansion, and Hou Dong's son Hou Gao is the one who exposed Cao Jie's identity that day. is so angry in the house, Cao Shuang looked at it and couldn't help but admire. The bad guys quickly took control of the gatekeepers and broke in. The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion came with a group of nurses, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

"Bad guys." Qi Fei picked up the token on his waist and shook it at the person waiting for the driver, "Let your family master come quickly." ”

"I am Hou Dong, the head of the Hou family, I don't know what a few bad people have to do in the Hou Mansion." An old man and a young man walked towards the crowd, and the Hou Mansion made way for the two of them. The old and the young are Hou Dong and Hou Gao, the two were discussing the marriage with the Cao family in the lobby at this time, and hurriedly rushed out when they heard the movement outside.

I saw Hou Dong, who was hanging his eyes, stepped forward, saluted very respectfully, with a smirk on his face, "It turned out to be Cao Shuang's son, I don't know if Cao Gongzi came to miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." Hou Gao heard that the identity of the person who came turned out to be Cao Shuang, and he hurriedly smiled and saluted Cao Shuang. Although the bad guy has just been established, after all, he has a bad reputation.

Cao Shuang didn't raise his eyelids, and sneered, "Hou Gongzi's sin, Cao Shuang is afraid that he can't forgive it." ”

The two fathers and sons of the Hou family were stunned by Cao Shuang's words, and when Hou Dong just wanted to speak, a piece of cloth was thrown over by Cao Shuang, "This is Hou Gao's letter to the thieves of Qingqi Mountain, which was brought back by this son from Qingqi Mountain." ”

"I didn't write it!" Hou Gao picked up the cloth on the ground and shouted at the top of his voice. Hou Dong also hurriedly stepped forward to explain to his son.

Cao Shuang waved his hand and interrupted the words of the two, "There is your signature on the letter, and we have also signed Hou Dong's account keeping in the wine house, and the handwriting is the same. ”

Hou Gao hurriedly went to see the signature on the letter, and it was indeed his own handwriting. Hou Gao's eyes were about to erupt with fire, "Okay, you Cao Shuang, you actually teamed up with Jia to pit me." "A few days ago, Hou Gao resold a batch of bamboo to Jia Wan, and signed a contract at that time, Hou Gao drank a lot of wine at that time, maybe it was at that time that the contract was passive.

"The matter between you and Jia Wan has nothing to do with this son. This was brought back by the bad guys in Qingqi Mountain, and now that the evidence is conclusive, go back with us. The corners of Cao Shuang's mouth twitched slightly, since the day you betrayed Cao Jie, today's ending has long been doomed.

"You, you." Hou Gao pointed at Cao Shuang with his right index finger, very annoyed.

Hearing a scream that went straight to the sky, Hou Gao covered his right hand and rolled on the ground. Cao Shuang threw the blood-stained sword to Jing Yang behind him, and said lightly, "This son hates that someone points at my head the most. Hou Gao's right index finger was cut off by Cao Shuang's sword, ten fingers connected to the heart, Hou Gao, whose index finger was cut off alive, curled up on the ground, Hou Dong hurriedly stepped forward to check.

"Bring Hou Gao back to the Bad Mansion." Cao Shuang turned around and was about to leave the Hou Mansion, only to hear Hou Dong behind him say sharply, "Cao Shuang, don't think that you can cover the sky with one hand, the old man will go to the prime minister to sue you." ”

"The evidence is ironclad, no matter where you sue, this son will confront you." Cao Shuang smiled, looked back at Hou Dong, and left the Hou Mansion. The bad guys took their swords out of the sheath, and no one dared to step forward to stop the bad guys from taking Hou Gao away, and Hou Dong could only watch the bad guys take their sons away.

"Hmph, we'll see!" Hou Dong looked at the bad people in the distance, his face was very gloomy, and he said viciously.

Hou Gao, who was taken away, was sent to a black prison, and under the torture of Yicheng, Hou Gao pleaded guilty and was detained. At this time, Yicheng had been transferred from the Xuchang Prison to the manager of the bad people's noon department, and the bad government was divided into 12 departments such as Zichou Yinmao by Cao Shuang according to the 12 local branches, with one steward and two commanders in each section. Each section has a different division of labor, and the noon department where Yicheng is located is responsible for executions and interrogations.

Looking at Hou Gao's confession on the table, Cao Shuang nodded with satisfaction, handed over the guilt to Wen Tu, and asked him to put the guilt into the file. "Since you confess your sins, do what you have to do according to the law." With Cao Shuang's simple words, Hou Gao was sentenced to death. That night, Hou Gao was secretly executed on charges of fornication with bandits. And the old Hou Dong is still looking for a way to get his son out, but those officials who usually have a good relationship say that they can't do anything when they hear that Hou Gao, who was taken away by bad people.

At night, when Hou Dong was at a loss, a person came to Hou's mansion and rekindled hope for Hou Dong.

"Who are you? What are you looking for me? Hou Dong looked at the person standing, and saw that this person was dignified, but he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which made people dare not compliment.

The person who came did not report his home, but just looked at the people in the hall. Hou Cheng is also a good person, how can he not understand what he means. Hou Cheng waved his hand and asked everyone in the hall to retreat. Only then did the person come and said unhurriedly, "Dong Cen is the grandson of Dong Cheqi." The Dong Che ride in Dong Cen's mouth is Dong Cheng, the participant of the edict.

"Impossible, of course Dong Cheng plotted to assassinate the prime minister, the whole family was killed, and no one lived." Hou Dong remained vigilant, he was afraid that this was sent by Cao Shuang to test him.

Seeing that Hou Dong didn't believe in himself, Dong Cen didn't continue to dwell on his identity, and continued, "Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition, Xuchang is empty. At this time, if we enter Cao's mansion and control Cao Cao's family, won't Cao Cao have to be restrained at that time. When the time comes, we will get rid of the national thief Cao Cao, help the Son of Heaven to govern, and become the great cause of Kuang to support the Han family. ”

If it were to be replaced by another time, Hou Dong would definitely send this person to the official mansion. But this time is different, his son is still in the bad mansion and his life is unknown. In addition to the national thief, Kuang Han Room, Hou Dong doesn't want to do it at all, but if he can save his son by taking advantage of this matter, then he can give it a try.

"Aren't you afraid that the old man will send you to see the official?" Hou Dong had calmed down at this time and took a sip of the tea on the table.

Dong Cen smiled lightly, sat down and moved forward, "If you want to send me to see an official, I can't sit here and drink tea at this time." What kind of place is the bad mansion, you always know better than me, I'm afraid that Ling Gongzi will not feel good there. ”

Hou Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed, "Why did you attack the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Although Xuchang is empty, there are still many soldiers and horses in this city. ”

"Some of my grandfather's old subordinates have been in the city for many years, and some of my grandfather's old friends in the DPRK and China have also expressed their willingness to support me." Dong Cen lowered his voice and said, "The Hou family's power in Xuchang is also one of the best, there are many domestic slaves, and now we have a common enemy, don't we?" ”

Hou Dong said with a smile, "The old man just wants to rescue the dogs, we don't have a common enemy." ”

"If you can rescue your son again, then the Son of Heaven will give you an official position, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone." After Dong Cen said this, he got up to leave, "If Mr. Hou thinks about it, he can go to the Leke Wine Restaurant in the city to find me tomorrow." ”

Looking at Dong Cen's distant back, Hou Dong's fists were clenched tightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Obviously, Hou Dong has already made a decision, for the sake of his son, he can't take care of so much.
