Chapter Seventy-Two: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Chen Liuren Cao Cao was lying on the white marble bed, chewing the ice cubes sent by Zhang Wang's family in his mouth, and holding the "Liweng Rhyme" copied from Zhang Wang's hand, looking very comfortable. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dahong Lu Cao Song held a wine jar, walked into the house with a smile, and greeted Cao Cao: "My son come and taste the newly sent Baiwei wine from Sikong Mansion." ”

Cao Cao jumped up from the bed, salivated over, first greeted his father, and then asked curiously: "Baiwei Zhijiu is Emperor Wu's favorite wine, it is extremely precious, and only court craftsmen can brew it." What did Zhang Ji ask for his father, and he actually gave this big gift? ”

Cao Song took a delicate white pottery bowl, filled a glass of wine, and took a sip, revealing a look of great enjoyment.

He handed the pottery bowl to Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "Zhang Ji sent me the imperial wine, not to ask me for something, but to ask you for something." ”

Cao Cao picked up the wine and was about to drink it, when he heard the words, he was stunned: "Please? I'm a little talker, how can I help him? ”

Cao Song said: "Sikong Mansion Governor Shi Dong visited, a few days ago, he had a big disaster, and fled in fear of crime, and passers-by saw that he and his brother Dong Zhao fled to Shi Zhang's house for the exam. ”

Cao Cao put down his glass and frowned.

He also heard about it a few days ago. Sikong Zhang Ji planned to seize Zhang Wang's family property, but Zhang Wang was cheated in turn.

Zhang Forget was given a holy favor because of this matter, his father was made a pavilion marquis, and he also had the position of examination and work order history. Zhang Ji lost face because of this incident, and has become a joke among high-ranking officials and nobles. Sikong Mansion's Changshi Dong visit is just a puppet of Zhang Ji's subordinates who act according to orders.

Cao Cao sighed and asked, "So, Zhang Ji blamed all the ugly things he did on Changshi Dong Wan?" ”

Cao Song sneered: "If you don't put the blame on your subordinates, how can he be able to do it?" He confessed to the crime of lax discipline and sent three million dollars to Xiyuan to settle the matter. At present, the only thing that needs to be done is to arrest and bring to justice the long history of Dong Wan. ”

Cao Cao thought of Zhang Ji's mean and unkind person, and his heart was cold: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Cao Song laughed and said: "Zhang Ji was calculated by Zhang Wang, and he was a little timid in doing things. He was afraid that he would go to the door and be framed by Zhang Wang, so he wanted to send someone into Zhang's house to see if the Dong brothers were hiding there, and then decide how to start. ”

Cao Cao stared at his father's face and asked, "Father is planning to help Zhang Ji?" ”

Cao Song nodded: "Whoever is a big official will help whom, and whoever is justified will help whom." ”

Whoever has the money will help whom, right? Cao Cao secretly scolded, with a sad face. He had a good impression of Zhang Wang, and he didn't want to settle a grudge with Zhang Wang at this time.

Cao Song glanced at him and said, "The Peng subordinates of Sikong Mansion are waiting in the guest room, you go under the guise of discussing knowledge, as long as you make sure that the Dong brothers are in the Zhang Mansion." ”

Cao Cao didn't dare to disobey his father's words, sighed secretly, and went out with an unhappy face.

In Zhang's house, Zhang Hong carefully read the "First Chronicle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", and was intoxicated, like drinking elixir.

He woke up Zhang Wang, who had wanted to close his eyes and recuperate, but accidentally fell asleep, and begged him to continue writing the next part of the Book of the Later Han.

Zhang Wu rejected him without hesitation, telling him that if he wanted to read the rest of the content, he would have to wait for an update. And the speed of his update is completely unpredictable according to his mood.

Zhang Hong knew that Zhang Forget deliberately used this method to keep him for a few more days, but he knew that he knew that he would turn around and leave in a fit of anger, and he was really reluctant.

I am afraid that there is no place in the world where you can read such a wonderful, detailed and in-depth contemporary history book.

Zhang Forget muttered, "I just like to see you look at me unpleasantly and make me look helpless", turned around and walked out the door.

Beanzi ran in from outside the door, with tears in her eyes, her face flushed, and her expression angry and anxious.

Zhang Forget was very surprised when he saw her like this, who was bullying his little benefactor again?

Douzi pounced, hugged Zhang Wang's arm, and cried, "I have inquired about my parents." ”

Zhang Forget was surprised: "This is a good thing, why are you crying?" ”

Douzi sobbed and said, "I brought iced tea to the soldiers at the gate of the city, and one of the soldiers told me that he knew my father and said that my father worked in a liquor shop in Dongshi. ”

Zhang Wang squatted down and wiped away her tears: "Oh, then did you go and look for it?" ”

Douzi shook his head: "The steward of the wine shop said that there was no such person in the wine shop at all, and the guy in the shop also said that there was no such person, saying that I was deceived by the soldiers guarding the door." But how can the soldiers who guard the gate deceive me when they have received my favor? ”

Zhang Forget thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely that the soldiers will lie to you, there must be something strange about this matter." The steward of the liquor shop said he didn't have your father there

, probably trying to hide something. Have you ever asked your neighbors, have you asked the soldiers patrolling the East Market, or have you asked the officials? ”

Douzi shook her head: "I, I, I I forgot." He said that there was no such person, so I ran back crying and crying. ”

Zhang Wangwei couldn't cry or laugh, pinched her little face and said, "Are you stupid, are you stupid?" You believe what people say, so don't you know how to verify it and find out the truth? Shiro has been with me for so long, and he hasn't learned any of my cleverness. ”

Douzi pouted and said, "Everyone is sad to be like this, and you still scold me?" ”

Zhang Forget took her hand and said, "Go, take me to see." Damn, you dare to bully my beans and see that I don't break his dog's legs. As long as your father is safe, I will go to heaven and earth, and I will find him for you. ”

Walking to the vestibule, Zhang Forget waved his hand and asked Wang Rao to follow him, but he didn't see the shadow of Ma Bao around, and was about to ask, when he saw Ma Bao walking in from outside the door of the house.

"Xiao Langjun, I came to work in a wine shop outside the door, saying that I knew the news of Douzi's parents, and I came to report it."

Beans screamed in surprise and ran out. Seeing this, Zhang Forget hurriedly took Ma Bao and Wang Rao out.

Outside the door of the house, there stood a thin young man, dressed as a handyman in green clothes.

Douzi pointed at him and said to Zhang Wang: "He is the job of that wine shop, I asked him at the time, and he said that he didn't know my father." ”

Zhang Forget glanced him up and down, and found that it was an ordinary handyman, and there was nothing special about it, so he asked: "Since you denied it at the beginning, why do you come to the door now and say that you know Douzi's parents?" ”

The young man said: "At that time, I didn't know who this girl was, and I was worried that someone would come to the door to find trouble, so I specially sent a girl doll to inquire about the news, so I didn't dare to tell the truth." ”

Zhang Forget frowned: "What, does Douzi's father have a lot of enemies?" ”

The guy said: "The enemy is not so much, they are all some scoundrels who come to collect debts." ”

Zhang Wang's brows furrowed even tighter: "Debt collection, what kind of debt to collect?" ”

The guy said: "This girl's father had a serious illness and owed a lot of money. Now the poor can't afford to take medicine or eat, so they can only lie at home and wait for death. ”

"Huh? How so? ”

When Douzi heard this, he couldn't help but cry, grabbed the guy's sleeve and said, "Where is my father?" Take me there. ”

The guy looked at Zhang Forget in embarrassment, Zhang Forget nodded and said, "Lead the way ahead, after this incident, Zhang Forget will have a good reward." ”

The guy agreed, took Douzi, Zhang Wang, Wang Rao and Ma Bao, and went straight to Guocheng outside Luoyang.

Not long after they left, Cao Cao reluctantly came to Zhang's house with a gloomy face.

When the trusted housekeeper of Zhang's house heard that Cao Cao was visiting, he didn't dare to slack off, and sent someone to invite his brother to entertain the guests for Zhang Wang.

Dong Zhaojiu heard Cao Cao's reputation for not being afraid of power, admired him very much, welcomed Cao Cao to the living room, and sent people to prepare ice cubes and rice wine to entertain the guests.

Cao Cao temporarily suppressed the entanglement in his heart and briefly chatted with Dong Zhao. This is unbelievable, Cao Cao Huo Ran found that Dong Zhao turned out to be an extremely intelligent and talented person.

The two wrote poems and talked happily, and in just half an hour, they all had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend in their hearts.

The more Cao Cao got to know Dong Zhao, the more he couldn't bear to harm him, and tried his best to recruit him: "Brother Ling offended Sikong Zhang Ji, I'm afraid you will be blamed, and you, as his brother, may also be affected." Zhang Forget is just a petty official, and it is impossible for him to protect your brothers. If you don't dislike it, you might as well come to my house for a while. My father, as a great Honglu, has won the emperor's favor, and he can easily help your brother to eliminate this disaster. ”
