The room of the back house Ma Teng.

Cao Shuo was pushed to the top, and the Ma family father and son were in the seat.

"Gongzi said earlier that Meng Qi and Han Sui joined forces to rebel against the Cao family, was someone instigated it, I don't know if there are any specific suspects?"

"Not yet." Cao Shuo said: "If we tend to unify today, there are still a few forces that we can't deal with the Cao family. Any one of them is possible. ”

"The Cao family dominates the north, and the closest to Xiliang is Yizhou." Ma Teng asked, "Could it be Liu Xuande?" ”

"Not necessarily." Cao Shuo smiled slightly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip: "With Liu Xuande's temperament, it is indeed the most likely to do this kind of thing, but it is not impossible for others to do it." ”

Putting down the teacup, he continued: "The letter that General Ma wrote earlier, my father has sent it to Xiliang. As long as the people of the Cao family arrive at the place, the people who instigated Meng Qi will be found out. ”

"I don't know who Gong Cao sent?" Ma Teng asked.

"Jiang Gan." Cao Shuo said: "When the Cao family crusaded against the Sun family in Jiangdong, this person also went to Jiangdong to meet Zhou Yu. ”

Of course, Ma Teng had heard of Zhou Yu's reputation.

Knowing that Jiang Gan had met him, Ma Teng was stunned and asked, "This person has seen Zhou Yu?" ”

"He hasn't seen Zhou Yu yet." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "When he was young, he was a classmate with Zhou Yu. ”

When people mention classmates, they often think of being taught by the same teacher, so it is logical to think that the two people from the same school are equally capable.

Hearing that Jiang Gan was Zhou Yu's classmate, Ma Teng was stunned and asked: "How can Cao Gong be willing to ...... such a talent?"

"It's not all Meng Qi's trouble." Cao Shuo said: "If he doesn't cause these troubles, how can General Ma be put in prison?" How could Jiang Gan go out of his way to Xiliang? ”

Ma Teng sighed and said, "Meng Qi is really not worry-free. ”

He then asked Cao Shuo, "What can we do for Childe?" ”

"I don't have to do anything with General Ma." Cao Shuo said: "The general and the two sons have just come out of prison, and they have been recuperating well in the past few days. When I leave Yecheng, I will return to Shouchun together. ”

"We're not going to do anything?" Ma Teng asked in surprise.

"I don't have to do anything at the moment." Cao Shuo said: "If it is really necessary, I will ask the general for help." ”

"Since Childe said so, then let's wait." Ma Teng said: "As long as the son can use us, just give us an order." ”

"I won't delay General Ma and the two sons to rest." Cao Shuo stood up: "Say goodbye first." ”

"Congratulations to Childe." Ma Teng and his son got up and saluted and sent Cao Shuo to the door.

They also planned to send a few more steps, Cao Shuo said: "Please go back first, we will return to Shouchun together in a few days, and there will be many days to see each other in the future." ”

"Childe go slowly!" Ma Teng and his son stopped and bowed to Cao Shuo again.

Cao Shuo returned the salute and left the house with Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao.

Walking out of the door, Deng Zhan asked, "Where is Childe going now?" ”

"Let's go and get back to my father first." Cao Shuo said: "The person has already been picked up, if you don't go back to life, my father will definitely think about it." When I meet my father, you two will have a good time in the city for a few days, and I will go to my mother's for a few days. ”

"Childe doesn't plan to return to Shouchun as soon as possible?" Deng Zhan whispered: "Ma Teng's father and son are always unsafe in Yecheng......

"It's not safe to leave in a hurry." Cao Shuo said: "Father has always had doubts about this matter, if we leave, he sends someone to Shouchun to catch Ma Teng's father and son back, can I blatantly stop it?" ”

Deng Zhan was stunned. Zhu Ao also frowned.

Although Cao Shuo is the son of the Cao family, he is still Cao Cao's son after all.

In the Cao family, everyone still has to look at Cao Cao's face.

He wants to arrest Ma Teng's father and son, even in Shouchun, Cao Shuo can't stop him directly, unless he already plans to turn against the Cao family.

Turning against the Cao family is not a wise choice for Cao Shuo.

When Cao Shuo settled Ma Teng's father and son, Xu Chu had already returned to Cao Cao.

After listening to the whole process, Cao Cao asked, "Ma Teng really has the intention of blaming Ma Chao?" ”

"It's more than blame." Xu Chu said: "He means that he wants to follow Gongzi to crusade against Ma Chao." ”

"So I caught the wrong person?" Cao Cao frowned and said.

"I don't dare to say." Xu Chu looked embarrassed and grinned.

"What don't you dare to say?" Cao Cao said: "Even if I do something wrong, I still have to say it." ”

"To tell you the truth, I feel that Cao Gong did arrest the wrong person this time." Xu Chu said: "Ma Teng, Ma Tie, and Ma Xiu don't know anything about Ma Chao's rebellion, if they really kill them, they really give Ma Chao an excuse to send troops to the Central Plains." ”

Brushing the beard on his chin, Cao Cao nodded and said, "It seems that Zirong is really right to come back this time." ”

"Childe has always been steady, if the consequences were not particularly serious, he would not have come to Yecheng on purpose." Xu Chu whispered: "I heard that Childe has been ...... recently."

"What's wrong with him lately?" Cao Cao's eyes opened and he asked Xu Chu.

"I heard that Childe has been a little tight lately." Xu Chu said: "He promised earlier that all localities would not collect taxes for ten years, but now that the ten-year deadline has not yet arrived, all the expenses have to be supplied by Lingyun Pavilion and the Touching Gold Camp, which is really stretched. ”

"Don't listen to that gossip." Hearing what Xu Chu said, Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand: "How much money Zirong has earned over the years, I don't know if you think of it." But I knew that not to mention Lingyun Pavilion, just the treasures he got from the Golden Camp were enough for him to raise troops for decades. ”

"But Gongzi didn't know that he was raising an army." Xu Chu said: "He is also investing in various expenses, and I have also heard that he has built two navies and opened up some islands overseas. ”

Xu Chu said this, Cao Cao actually got the news, but he didn't take it to heart at the time.

Someone mentioned it again, he frowned slightly, and when he revisited the news he had gotten, he also felt that something was wrong.

Looking at Xu Chu, Cao Cao asked, "What do you think Zirong is doing all this?" ”

"I don't understand." Xu Chu shook his head: "But Gongzi never does things without purpose, since he decided to do this, he must have his reasons." ”

"You believe him." Cao Cao said: "He has lost so much money, how can he get it in the future." ”

"Childe can lose all the money, and he can find a way to get it back." Xu Chu replied: "Every time I see Cao Gong, he never asks for money and food, right?" ”

"That's right." Cao Cao smiled slightly: "It's up to him to toss." ”

A guard's voice came from outside the door: "Qiqi Cao Gong, the eldest son asks to see you." ”
