Chapter 6: Execution?
Night.
"Big brother, there is a result."
Cao Ren hurriedly ran in and said, "That gentleman's name is Chen Zhou, the word Duzhi, he is a subordinate of Zhang Miao, just an ordinary subordinate official. He was born in a poor family, his parents died four years ago, there are no other relatives, only he is left, he has been filial piety at home for three years, and it ended a year ago. ”
"Are you sure Zixiao is he really mediocre?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't quite believe Cao Ren's findings.
Judging by the content analyzed by Chen Zhou in the cell, it is definitely not just mediocre, or a little urgent.
Cao Ren had no choice but to say: "According to the investigation, Chen Zhou was really mediocre, and then he was implicated by Zhang Miao, and we took him down and locked him in a cell. ”
Cao Cao frowned and said: "He was promoted by Zhang Miao to be filial piety, so he had the opportunity to be an official, and his heart should be towards Zhang Miao?" ”
"Big brother, I don't think so."
Cao Ren said again: "After ending filial piety and getting promoted, this person often went in and out of brothels and did not do anything serious. With this person's ability, if he is really grateful to Zhang Miao, how can he not assist Zhang Miao wholeheartedly? I guess he definitely didn't want to help Zhang Miao, but just borrowed Zhang Miao's inspection so that he could get rid of his white body. ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly: "What you said also makes sense." ”
However, he was a little surprised to hear that Chen Zhou often went in and out of the brothel.
No wonder Chen Zhou is so familiar with brothels, he can associate so much with brothels, it turns out that he is a fellow person, and everyone likes to prostitute so much.
Cao Ren obviously noticed this, and said with a smile: "Big brother, Chen Zhou, this person has similar hobbies to you, and people who like to go to prostitutes are all capable people!" ”
Listening to his words, Cao Cao smiled awkwardly.
However, Cao Cao thinks that Chen Zhou's hobby is very good, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he has to communicate about how to prostitute.
"What did he do when he got back to his cell?"
Cao Cao asked again.
Cao Ren said: "Ziyu sent him a lot of wine and food, he ate a big meal, and gave the leftovers to the other death row prisoners who were implicated and imprisoned by Zhang Miao, and there was nothing else." ”
Speaking of those death row inmates, Cao Ren paused for a moment and asked, "Big brother doesn't want to kill Chen Zhou now, but should the other death row inmates be killed?" ”
"Leave Chen Zhou behind, and kill the others."
Cao Cao snorted coldly.
He has never been merciful to those who betray him, but Chen Zhou has become an exception.
Since he didn't want to assist Zhang Miao, it meant that Chen Zhou was not the one who betrayed him, and if he considered it appropriately, he took a fancy to his talent, so he could stay and observe for a while.
"Good!"
Cao Ren was about to give an order, and when he dragged people out early tomorrow morning to cut them, Cao Ang ran in.
In order to write down Chen Zhou's opinions, as soon as Cao Ang came back, he buried himself in writing, his arms were sore, and he finally wrote them, and ran over to see Cao Cao as soon as he entered the door, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard the conversation between his father and his uncle Zixiao.
"Father, I heard you're going to kill all those death row inmates?"
Cao Ang asked eagerly.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think that those death row prisoners don't deserve to die?" ”
"Damn it!"
Cao Ang said and said: "But there is a great talent in it, he shouldn't die, I talked with him for several days, and I can conclude that this person is extremely capable, has a vicious eye, can see through the surface of many things, and analyze the truth and truth contained in it, if my father can be brought to his side, it will be beneficial to our Cao family." ”
Here it comes!
Cao Cao and Cao Ren glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts that Cao Ang would really come to help Chen Zhou intercede.
"A person who is locked up in a prison cell is also worthy of being called a great talent?"
Cao Cao did not immediately agree to Cao Ang's plea.
He also needed to continue to observe Chen Zhou secretly.
"Father, these are his opinions."
Cao Ang took out a few silk cloths, sent them to Cao Cao's hands, and said: "I have written down the content of Mr.'s lecture, and my father will know after reading it, he is really a great talent, and his father ......."
"That's it!"
Cao Cao took it casually and said, "It's not early, you go back and rest." ”
"Father's ......"
Cao Ang wanted to say something.
But Cao Cao told him to leave.
Thinking that the insights were given to his father, Cao Ang felt that there was still a chance, so he had to go back to the room first and wait for news.
I'm really not worried, I'll go to protect Mr. tomorrow.
Cao Cao only listened to the brothel and Zhang Miao's betrayal today, according to the news brought by Cao Ren, Chen Zhou gave Cao Ang a lecture for three days in a row, and today is the fourth day, and he can't wait to know what the previous three days are talking about.
Spreading out the silk, he saw several titles written on it: the relationship between the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Han economy, the analysis of the situation in the world, and the rules of survival of the scholars......
Looking at the content behind the title, Cao Cao was quickly stunned.
The insights are unique, the angles are novel, and the content is to the point and thought-provoking.
"Zixiao, I must get him, definitely!"
Cao Cao said excitedly.
It was the first time Cao Ren had seen that the eldest brother was so eager for a humble scribe, even if Xun Yu came to vote back then, he was not so excited.
——
Next.
Chen Zhou was woken up.
"Keep up, let's go!"
"Whoever dares to resist will be killed on the spot."
"You have a good baby in your next life!"
Chen Zhou heard a shouting voice from the jailer.
Then there were the wails and cries of those death row inmates, which echoed in the prison.
He looked up and saw dozens of jailers, escorting the shackles of death row inmates away.
Chen Zhou didn't know how many times he watched this scene, this was the rhythm of the execution, and he said in his heart: "I won't just find the hope of life, and I'm about to be beheaded, right?" ”
Chen Zhou didn't want to die, he knew that he had promised Cao Ang yesterday to leave first, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Sir!"
The warden ran over and said politely: "We have been ordered by the lord to take these people to be executed, and if they stay, they will waste rice, and they will all be killed." ”
Sure enough, they were going to be sent to the execution ground.
Chen Zhou swallowed his saliva, and pretended to be calm: "That's okay, give me a pair of shackles, and I will cooperate with you." ”
The warden waved his hand and said, "Sir, I misunderstood, how dare we kill you with your status?" We were ordered that the gentleman could stay in the cell and wait for the next arrangement. ”
They still have a lot of respect for Chen Zhou.
In addition to Cao Ang's identity, but also because they heard a lot of knowledge and great truths from Chen Zhou.
They don't care whether they understand it or not, they think that Mr. is powerful, and Mr. can still get the respect of the eldest son of the lord, and he will definitely not be executed and beheaded, and he will definitely go out.
It's too late for them to stammer.
"Okay, you're busy!"
Chen Zhou was relieved.
Cao Ang's words yesterday are still useful.
