Chapter 020: Cao Xu's Xunzi
Li Yuan led people away, and at the same time took away Cao Baochang, Cao Wu, Cao Liu, as well as the corpses of the two county soldiers, as well as the two Pu knives, Cao Jiabao regained its calm again, but it was no longer so calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Widow Xing's mother-in-law, Liu, was the first to get mad, pointing at Widow Xing's nose and scolding: "Broom star, you are not only a broom star, but also a broom star, since you married into our Cao family, you first killed my Dong'er, and now your father-in-law is even more harmful to be taken away by the military master, if he has any three strengths and two weaknesses, I will definitely not let you go." ”
Widow Xing also felt extremely aggrieved, what happened last night was inexplicable, she didn't know what was going on, so she was involved in an extraordinary murder case, and now she was scolded by her mother-in-law as a broom star, and her life in the future will be even more sad.
Seeing this, Cao Ju frowned, and was about to step forward, but was grabbed by Cao Lun and shook his head at him.
Cao Ju suddenly came to his senses, he had already come out for Widow Xing once today, and he could still find an excuse for what happened just now because Li Yuan was unfair in judging the case, but it also made many people suspect that there was a leg between him and Widow Xing. At this time, although Widow Xing was wronged, it was her family matter, and Cao Ju stood up for her again, which was tantamount to confirming the improper relationship between the two.
Cao Ju sighed secretly, nodded to Cao Lun, and said, "Thank you, Brother Alun." ”
Cao Lun patted Cao Ju's shoulder and said, "Ah Ju, today you are not afraid of Li Junhou, and you are even more reasonable, and you have earned face for our Cao Jiabao, which is very good." ”
Cao Ju smiled slightly: "It's nothing, if it were any person from Caojiabao, he would do this, but I moved faster." ”
"Okay, don't be arrogant, Ah Ju, it's very good." Cao Lun patted Cao Ju's shoulder again and said, "Go quickly, your mother and Xiaoying are waiting for you." ”
Cao Ju nodded, turned his head to look at Widow Xing again, and saw that the Liu family was still scolding her, and he was secretly angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to stand up for Widow Xing anymore, so he walked over to Cao Xu and Cao Ying.
Cao Xu heard Cao Ju's footsteps coming, snorted, turned around, Cao Ying also glanced at Cao Ju, supported Cao Xu, and went home, Cao Ju had to smile bitterly and follow behind.
Back in the courtyard, Cao Xu's footsteps immediately stopped, and said lightly: "Ah Ying, go and the door of the north house is open." ”
"......" Cao Ying was taken aback when she heard this, her delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, don't, brother, he ......"
"Less nonsense." Cao Xu immediately shouted angrily, "Ah Ying, go and open the door." ”
"I ......" Cao Ying's face changed color, turned her head and glanced at Cao Ju, who waved her hand at her and asked her to do what Cao Xu said, Cao Ying had to sigh secretly, let go of Cao Xu's arm, lowered her head and went to the hall, took a key out, came to the north house, unlocked it, and opened the door.
"Rebel, go and kneel down in front of your father's funeral hall." Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cao Xu immediately shouted angrily, turned around, and although his eyes were blank, he shot at Cao Ju like two sharp arrows.
Cao Ju sighed secretly, walked over obediently, and knelt in front of the mourning hall.
Immediately, Cao Xu's voice sounded again, this time it was not angry, but a little desolate: "Ah Ju's father, the concubine is not in good health, and he didn't discipline Ah Ju well, and he actually did such a bad thing." ”
Cao Ying listened to it on the side, pouted, and thought to herself, her mother is really true, just because her brother is the widow Xing, how can she conclude that the relationship between her brother and her is not clean.
Of course, Cao Ju also had this idea in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it, but he thought in his heart, sure enough, my mother was extremely opposed to me contacting Widow Xing, let alone asking me to push the marriage of the Tian family and marry Widow Xing.
Cao Xu continued: "Ah Ju's father, the concubine promised before you died that you must let Ah Ju marry the second lady of the Tian family, if Ah Ju dares to disobey the order, the concubine will go to Huangquan to find you." ”
Cao Ju was shocked, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Immediately, Cao Xu's voice changed, and he shouted: "Rebel, you are optimistic, you are your father's spiritual position, the only thing your father can't let go of before he dies is your marriage with the second miss of the Tian family, next month, it will be the sixteenth birthday of the second miss of the Tian family, and then the mother can take the marriage book set by the two families that year and go to the Tian family to propose marriage, don't you even wait for this month, do you have to find the widow Xing to find fun?" ”
After saying that, Cao Xu gasped twice and shouted: "Rebel, do you know your mistake? ”
Cao Ju had no choice but to say: "Mother, the child knows that he is wrong, please calm his anger." ”
Cao Xu's voice calmed down a little, and asked lightly: "Ah Ju, since you know your mistake, you should know what to do in the future?" ”
"Yes, mother, the child knows." Cao Ju sighed secretly and said slowly, "After the sixteenth birthday of the second lady of the Tian family next month, the child will prepare to marry the eldest child, fulfill his father's last wish, and no longer let his mother worry about it." ”
"Hmph." Cao Xu didn't seem to be satisfied with Cao Ju's answer, and snorted coldly, "Ah Ju, what if the Xing family continues to seduce you?" ”
Any parent is partial to their children, and Cao Xu is the same, thinking that Cao Ju had an affair with Widow Xing, and it must have been Widow Xing who took the initiative to seduce Cao Ju.
"......" Cao Ju was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Mother, please rest assured, there is no selfish relationship between the child and the Xing family, and naturally it will not be in the future." ”
"That's good." Cao Xu's was completely discouraged, and said lightly, "It's not early, Ah Ying, cook for your brother, and then ask him to go to the city to deliver firewood, and after he has dinner, continue to kneel in front of your father's spirit." ”
"Hey." Cao Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly answered, and went to the kitchen, Cao Ju stood up, walked quickly to Cao Xu's side, and helped her into the house to rest.
Let's say that after Li Yuan returned to the barracks, he first detained Cao Qi, Cao Wu, and Cao Liu, and then asked him to write down a list and ask his soldiers to call the eight people on the list over.
In less than half an hour, all the eight elite county soldiers arrived, standing under your stage, waiting for Li Yuan's orders.
Li Yuan swept the faces of the eight people one by one, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a harmonious voice: "The eight of you are the most courageous soldiers under the command of the Hou of this army, and you have made a lot of combat exploits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and your martial arts are also the most powerful among the soldiers under the command of the Hou of this army. ”
"This time, this military marquis will arrange a task for you, if you can successfully complete it, each person will be rewarded with 5,000 yuan, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded with two more golds."
"Wow......" For Li Yuan, who has always been stingy, this reward is definitely very rich, and the eight people were surprised, and one of them immediately said, "If there is a difference, please show it to the military marquis." ”
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Tonight, this military marquis ordered you to go to Caojiabao to kill a person. ”
