Chapter 62: Steal the piano first
When Cai Ji left, his head was full of black lines.
Cao Shuo wanted to take Chen Wu to the shop where he bought the piano, and he probably guessed what he wanted to do.
The second son of the dignified Cao family actually thought of such a method.
Following Cao Shuo to escape from Wancheng and knowing him a little bit, Cai Ji suddenly found that apart from Cao Shuo, there really wasn't anyone else who could do this kind of thing......
Cao Shuo waited in the front yard for about a stick of incense, and Cai Ji and Wei Tu arrived with Chen Wu and Xun You's guards respectively.
"Take me to that shop." Cao Shuo waved his hand and walked out of the gate with a few people.
"Chen Wu, how sure are you about entering a private house to steal something?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Ten percent!" Chen Wu said: "Houses are the easiest to enter ......"
He suddenly seemed to understand something: "Childe, you won't be ......"
"How?" Cao Shuo asked, "Don't want to do it?" ”
"No......" Chen Wu said embarrassedly: "I will do whatever the son wants me to do." It's just that the identity of the son is honorable, in case the little thing I did is known to others......"
"So what?" Cao Shuo said: "You go and steal it yourself, that's called stealing!" I'll let you steal it, that's called a mission! As a soldier, obedience is the duty, you just need to do it, don't think about anything else! ”
Chen Wu answered, still beating a drum in his heart.
"Childe, isn't this okay?" Wei Tu said: "If you really want to do this kind of thing, Cai Ji and I can do it, and we don't need Gongzi to go in person." ”
"You and Cai Ji go to do it, it's a dog's leg to bully others." Cao Shuo said: "I have my own method. When I got the piano, the owner of the house not only would not say anything bad about me, but would also praise me for knowing how to read and understand etiquette. Do you believe it or not? ”
Wei Tu shook his head.
Cai Ji tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Childe has always been polite and thoughtful, how can he do something that people despise?" Childe tells us to do whatever we do. Even if something goes wrong, with the two of us on top, we will never let Childe get involved. ”
"The front fart is good." Cao Shuo glanced back at Cai Ji: "The latter sentence slapped on the horse's leg, I was very unhappy!" ”
"Childe forgives my sins, it's because I can't speak!" Cai Ji hurriedly apologized.
"Go into that shop, steal two pianos, and give them to me, and it's none of your business." Cao Shuo said to Chen Wu: "With your eyes, you should be able to distinguish the good from the bad, and it is best to steal what makes the master distressed." ”
"I'll do it!" Although Chen Wu was still beating the drum in his heart, he answered it on his lips.
After walking two or three streets, Cai Ji said: "Childe, that piano shop is in front." ”
Zhang Xiu led his troops to besiege the city, and most of the shops in the city were closed.
From the outside, the piano shop is no different from other shops.
If it weren't for Cai Ji's guidance, Cao Shuo would never have thought that this shop was selling Yaoqin.
Cao Shuo and the others stopped at the entrance of the street, and he nodded to Chen Wu.
Chen Wu walked out of the street, observed the environment in front of the piano shop, and then went around into the alley behind.
About half a pillar of incense later, Cao Shuo saw Chen Wu running over with two things wrapped in silk.
"Childe, I stole it." When he arrived at Cao Shuo, Chen Wu said.
"You go back first." After instructing Chen Wu, Cao Shuo said to Cai Ji and Wei Tu again: "Follow me and knock on the door." ”
After Chen Wu left, Cao Shuo, accompanied by Cai Ji, Wei Tu, and Xun Youwei, arrived at the door of the shop.
Cai Ji stepped forward and knocked on the door.
No response.
"Shout." Cao Shuo commanded.
"Is anyone home?" Cai Ji shouted.
Still no one paid attention.
Cao Shuo said: "Tell the people inside that their piano is lost. ”
Cai Ji shouted: "Is anyone at home?" You've lost your piano! ”
Sure enough, after a while, an old man opened the door.
He looked at Cao Shuo and the others suspiciously: "My family has closed down and has no business, how can I lose the piano." ”
"Uncle, please take a look at whether these two pianos were lost by your family." Cao Shuo glanced at Wei Tu and the guards who were holding the qin.
Seeing the piano in the arms of the two of them, before they could uncover the silk, the old man was stunned for a moment.
"Where did Childe come from?" After leaving the store and taking a piano, the old man said, "It's exactly what my family lost!" ”
"Don't hide it from my husband." Cao Shuo said: "We passed by here just now and saw a person sneakily coming out with the piano, so I wanted to stop and ask. I didn't expect him to run away when he saw us, but he didn't catch it, but only snatched the piano back. ”
After taking the two pianos, the old man said gratefully: "The family is here, but I didn't expect the thief to steal the piano." Fortunately, with the help of the son, these two pianos can be gained and lost. Childe, please come in and sit down! ”
"The old man didn't dare to disobey the invitation, he bothered!" Cao Shuo thanked him and took Wei Tu and the others into the house.
"Childe, please sit down, I'll let you watch the tea." Ask Cao Shuo to sit down, and the old man shouted inside: "Old woman, a guest is here!" Don't come out to see the tea yet? ”
After a while, an old woman about the same age as the old man came out of the back room.
She also had a cup of tea in her hand.
put the tea on the table in front of Cao Shuo, and the old woman stood aside.
"Give Childe's three entourages tea too." The old man commanded.
The old woman agreed, and was about to retreat, Cao Shuo said: "Don't trouble my mother-in-law, I'll just rest my feet and leave immediately." ”
"Childe's great kindness, I don't have anything to repay it." The old man said, "It's better to eat casually here." ”
"No!" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "The soldiers are in chaos, and no one is rich." When we eat a small meal, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will have less food. ”
The old man sighed and said, "What the son said is that there are few families in the city that are not short of food. ”
"Didn't my husband run a piano shop?" Cao Shuo asked, "Isn't it enough to buy grain after selling the qin?" ”
"The war is in chaos, it is difficult to save your life, how many people are willing to buy a piano?" The old man said, "Even if you have money, where can you buy food?" ”
"You go back." Cao Shuo said to Wei Tu: "Deduct a stone from my ration and send it to my father-in-law." ”
"Childe, how can this be ......" Cao Shuo wanted to deliver food, and the old man was taken aback.
"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I am the second son of the Cao family." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said, "The Cao army entered the city and brought trouble to the people. ”
Hearing that he was Cao Shuo, the old man was stunned.
"If it weren't for the Cao family's plan to occupy Wancheng, there would not be these battles." Cao Shuo said: "There are many wars and disasters, and the most bitter people are the people!" ”
refused to sell the piano to Xun You, it was the old man who had such thoughts in his heart.
Without waiting for him to speak, Cao Shuo said the words first, but he didn't know what to say.
"I'm just a piano maker, I don't know any of that." The old man said, "Childe doesn't have to blame himself. ”
"How can you not blame yourself?" Cao Shuo said: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I saw a lot of people's corpses on the road, how can the civilians of the two armies fighting?" Who did they recruit and whom? ”
