Chapter 9 Borrowing a Thing from You

Cao Cao sat quietly in the lobby of the northern lieutenant's office, he did not wear an official uniform, with the three poles of the sun, slowly the office began to have people, these officials were a little stunned when they entered the lobby,

"What's going on?" An official whispered to his colleagues, who were not aware of it, so he could only shake his head to indicate that he did not know.

"Hey, who are you? Any idea where this is? Finally, someone among the officials couldn't help but ask, they have long been used to being powerful here, they only recognize one person in this place, that is, Lord Liu Xu, although this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but Lord Liu Xu's words are better than the emperor's words in this acre and three points of land.

Cao Cao smiled slightly, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes, "What is this place?" That's a good question! Cao Cao opened his eyes suddenly, leaned forward, looked down at the officials under the hall, and said, "Why don't you tell me what kind of place this is!" ”

The officials under the hall were frightened by Cao Cao's invisible momentum and retreated, these people looked at each other, feeling incredible, usually only they suppressed people with power, how could they be frightened by other people's words today are all confused, some people mustered up the courage to shout loudly, "You are bold!" This is a dignified northern Luoyang Governor's Office, and the idle people want to be presumptuous here! ”

"Huh?" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth tilted slightly, and he squinted his eyes at the official who spoke, "Very good!" Since you all know that this is the Northern Governor's Office! Can you know the law of the imperial court? Cao Cao got up and walked further, "The law of the Han Empire, all officials of the Han Empire must go to the hall at the right time," Cao Cao pointed to the sun outside the hall and said, "Now it's time!" You're late, that's good! ”

Everyone looked at each other, the system of the Han Empire has long been on its own, up to the court, down to the various offices, it has long been rotten, not to mention late, it is common not to come in January, this person is not crazy? The officials looked at Cao Cao like fools, and then burst into laughter

"Hey, this son, I want to go out today without taking medicine."

"Yes, I really thought I was the Duke of Zhou, otherwise what would I dream of in the middle of the day?"

All kinds of ridicule kept coming, Cao Cao's face was as usual, and he raised his eyebrows, it seems that these officials have long been accustomed to this kind of life, stubborn and diseased, and it seems that it will not work if they don't take some fierce medicine, when Cao Cao was thinking about whether it would be more interesting to kill these people or use other methods, there were footsteps outside the office, and a few people walked into the door, led by Liu Xu, the lieutenant of the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, Liu Xu strode into the hall with a knife at this time, and everyone got out of the way to salute him, Liu Xu looked arrogant, Cao Cao, who was sitting on top of the high hall with squinted eyes, said, "Who are you?" ”

Cao Cao put his hand on his forehead, his body staggered, and he was speechless, "Can't you change a new question?" Who am I, who am I! Why didn't the janitor tell you!? ”

Liu Xu shook the handle of the knife with his hand, "What old man?" This is the Northern Governor's Office, if you don't say it, don't blame Liu for being ruthless! ”

"Oh~" Cao Cao said in a lengthened tone, "It turns out that you are the deputy lieutenant who has been a lieutenant for more than ten years, Liu Xu, Lord Liu?" ”

"Exactly" Liu Xu felt the change in Cao Cao's tone, and was secretly proud in his heart, no matter what kind of northern lieutenant you are, you are just a new recruit with a bit of fancy,

Cao Cao ran a few steps to Liu Xu's side, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Liu is polite, the next official is the new northern lieutenant Cao Cao!" Cao Cao deliberately said the word "Xiaguan" very hard.

Liu Xu was stunned, he didn't expect Cao Cao to change so quickly, he observed outside the hall for a long time, this person's performance just now was obviously very strong, especially those eyes, Lao Li Tou really didn't lie to him, even outside the hall, Liu Xu also felt the chill under the eyes, how come at this moment, this Cao Cao seems to have changed as if he has changed a person, Liu Xu still replied in confusion, "It turned out to be Lord Cao, I don't know if the adult has a certificate!" ”

"Yes" Cao Cao said while taking off a seal from his waist and handing it over, Liu Xu looked at it symbolically, and then casually threw it to Cao Cao, "Lord Cao, it's rude to the lower officials"

"Where, where" Cao Cao said modestly, "The kid came out and asked Lord Liu to give me a lot of help!" ”

Liu Xu laughed heartily and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, my lord, please!" ”

Cao Cao sat back in his place, Liu Xu asked people to move a chair to sit on Cao Cao's right hand, according to the law of the Han Empire, Liu Xu was not qualified to sit in the lobby, but Liu Xu was sitting in the main official position before, and no one said it at that time, and no one dared to say it.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xu and smiled, Liu Xu looked at Cao Cao and smiled, but the two of them laughed a little far-fetched!

Cao Cao opened the roster on several cases and began to click,

Because Liu Xu has already sent someone to notify him, everyone has arrived, and after ordering, the time has reached noon, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, "Well, everyone is together, then everyone should start to get busy, I just looked at it, many cases have not been solved, everyone work hard, I will invite everyone to have a light meal after the solution is completed!" ”

Everyone was stunned, it was already noon, everyone had to go home for lunch at this time, drink tea, take a nap, how could this new official take away this good time on the first day, all the officials did not move, their eyes looked at Liu Xu, Liu Xu was wearing a suit of armor at this time, although it was the autumn season, but the sun at noon was still relatively hot, at this time he was already sweating profusely, regretting why he had to show off his might and wear a suit of armor to suffer, Liu Xu was angry and glared at everyone, "What do you see, Didn't you hear what Lord Cao said, why don't you go and sort out the case library! Liu Xu saw that Cao Cao knew the current affairs so well, so he also planned to give Cao Cao some face, after all, Cao Cao was the master, he was the deputy, and there were some things, he was not very good at doing too well on the surface, and the old fox would never tear his face in front of people.

A group of officials went down and began to sort out the files of the case vault.

Liu Xu asked people to find a fan, untied the armor on his chest, and said to Cao Cao with a fan, "Lord Cao, you became the captain of the northern part of Luoyang at a young age, what a talent!" ”

"Lord Liu, you're welcome," Cao Cao replied with a smile

"Where is Lord Cao from?" Liu Xu began to inquire about Cao Cao's origin, after all, he achieved the position of lieutenant in the north of Luoyang at such a young age, and he should not be from a poor family

"People from Xiapei County"

"Oh," Liu Xu asked in shock, "But when the imperial lieutenant Cao Song's hometown is in Qian County?" ”

"Exactly"

Liu Xu's eyes rolled sharply in his eye sockets, this kid is also surnamed Cao, could it be that he is Mrs. Cao's family? "Then Lord Cao and Lord Cao can know Mrs. Cao?"

Cao Cao smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't know, Lord Liu, don't guess, there is a poor scholar below, do you think that high-ranking official is willing to come to this kind of place to suffer!" ”

"My lord is right" Liu Xu thought about it and felt that Cao Cao said was no problem, you must know that Cao Song Taiwei also has a godfather Cao Teng, this Cao Teng and Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others are eunuchs like him, Zhang Rang and others all respect him as Ah Weng when they see him, counting the current emperor, this Cao Teng has served five generations of emperors before and after, and was named Fei Tinghou, and this Cao Teng is a rare outlier among eunuchs, docile and loyal, and will recommend talents, not only the emperors of previous dynasties like him, many scholars and doctors also recognize him. Although Cao Teng has long since retired to the countryside, his prestige is still there.

"By the way, Lord Liu, I haven't been embarrassed to say it just now, but I have a request below," Cao Cao said with a smile on the corner of his mouth

Liu Xu was puzzled and said, "What is the matter with the adult, as long as the lower official can do it, the lower official will definitely help the adult do it!" ”

Cao Cao pinched his not-so-long beard and said softly, "It's nothing, I just want to borrow something from adults!" ”

Liu Xu was too hot at this time, and the armor had already been taken off by the people behind him, and after listening to Cao Cao's words, Liu Xu smiled and said, "What do you want to borrow?" As long as I have it, I will definitely give it to adults! It's time for the official to give a meeting gift to adults! ”

Cao Cao stood up and came to Liu Xu's side, lowered his head against Liu Xu's ear, and said with the corners of his mouth raised, "It's nothing, I just want to borrow an adult's head to use it!" ”
