Chapter 5 I Don't Want to Marry a Princess
Cao Zhang said, reached out and pulled out Cao Shuo's right leg from under the sheet and showed it to everyone.
Cao Cao and the others looked down, and sure enough, on Cao Shuo's right leg and calf, they saw a snake's tooth mark, and the skin around the tooth mark had turned black and purple, which was exactly what it looked like had been poisoned by a snake.
Cao Cao was also shocked when he saw this scene, obviously he didn't expect the truth to be like this, and his gaze at Cao Zhang was even more shocked.
At this time, he already understood that Cao Zhang's crying on Cao Shuo's corpse turned out to have another purpose.
He used this method to cover up, unknowingly examined Cao Shuo's body, and found the real reason for Cao Shuo's death.
This meticulous thought made him ashamed.
"Sikong, you see, Ziwen has proved that Shuo'er was not killed by him, he is not a murderer!" Mrs. Bian was so excited that she cried with joy, and anxiously pulled Cao Cao to say.
Cao Cao kept his composure and gently patted Madame Bian's arm as a sign of comfort.
"Give me a closer look at the wound to see what snake bites?" Cao Cao gave instructions to the medical officer.
The medical officer quickly leaned over to examine it carefully, and then came to a conclusion: "Back to Sikong, it was a highly poisonous five-step snake that bit the second son, and a person who was bitten would die in a quarter of an hour at most!" ”
"The wound of the second son is black and purple, indicating that the poisoning is very deep, which should be the root cause of the death of the second son."
Cao Cao glared at the medical officer coldly: "Didn't you say that Shuo'er was poisoned by poisonous wine?" Why do you say that you were bitten to death by a poisonous snake now! ”
The medical officer knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed repeatedly: "It's because the lower official didn't check it thoroughly, and only found that his throat was poisonous, so he mistakenly thought that the second son was poisoned by poisonous wine, and the lower official was negligent, and the lower official was guilty!" ”
Cao Cao kicked the medical officer hard, knocked him down, and scolded him angrily: "You dare to ignore this kind of thing?!" ”
"Come on, drag it down and cut it!" Cao Cao ordered sharply.
Several guards rushed in and dragged away the medical officer, who was crying wolf and begging for mercy.
Cao Cao turned his head to look at Cao Zhang in front of him and nodded approvingly.
He didn't expect that this usually reckless and impulsive son would behave with a clear mind and meticulous logic today, and find out the truth in a moment and prove his innocence.
This mind, this calm mentality, made Cao Cao very pleased and admired.
"Madam, the truth is revealed, Ziwen was framed, there was no act of killing his brother, and he did not insult the princess, you can rest assured." Cao Cao turned his head and said to Mrs. Bian.
Mrs. Bian nodded happily: "Yes, Ziwen, thank you father soon." ”
Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Mother, I said everything, my father already knew that things were different. ”
"He pretended to kill me just now, but he just gave his son a little pressure and encouragement, to see if I was in danger and could resolve it with my own skills!"
"Father, this is a chance for his son to sharpen, and the son thanks his father!" After Cao Zhang finished speaking, he bowed directly in front of Cao Cao.
"Clever words, count you as acquaintances!" Cao Cao scolded in his mouth, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
Cao Zhang's words successfully resolved the embarrassment between father and son, and while giving himself a step, he complimented himself in front of everyone.
"Father, now the truth has been revealed, the second brother was bitten to death by a poisonous snake."
"As for the poison in his throat, it is obvious that someone poured poisoned wine after his death, and his intention is self-evident, that is, to frame his sons!"
"Erchen implores my father to investigate the truth thoroughly, find out the real culprit, and return my innocence while also avenging the second brother!"
Cao Zhang in history did not join Cao Cao's battle for the son, but now he has crossed over, and he is naturally unwilling to live this life in mediocrity.
Now that Cao Pi has attacked himself first, Cao Zhang will naturally not be polite, and will launch a counterattack, and even knock him down.
Cao Zhang's ambition is far more than a son, he wants to accept famous generals, gather famous people, and use Cao Cao's power to establish his own hegemony......
Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang in front of him, was silent for a moment, and bent down to help him: "Ziwen, get up first." ”
Cao Zhang was willing to give up easily, insisted on kneeling on the ground and did not move, and said in his mouth: "I implore my father to make the decision for his son and avenge the second brother!" ”
Cao Cao wanted to pull Cao Zhang, but he didn't pull it, and seeing him so insistent, he could only sigh helplessly.
Cao Cao ordered loudly: "Zhao Da! ”
Zhao Da, the commander of the school office, quickly came to Cao Cao: "The minister is here!" ”
"Bring these subordinates back to the school office together, and we must find out who instructed them to perjury and frame Ziwen!"
"Also, you must give me a strict investigation to find out who is the real murderer of Shuo'er!"
When Cao Cao said this, his eyes swept in the direction of Cao Pi.
Cao Pi was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Cao Cao again.
"Whoa!" Zhao Da bowed his hand and left.
Cao Cao turned to Cao Zhang: "Are you satisfied this time?" ”
Cao Zhang knelt down and bowed to Cao Cao: "Erchen thanks his father for the second brother!" ”
Cao Cao stretched out his hand again to support Cao Zhang: "Get up!" ”
Cao Zhang got up at this time.
"Wen Ruo, Shuo'er's future affairs are handled by you, and you must do it beautifully!" Cao Cao instructed Xun Yu.
Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward to respond: "Yes, please rest assured." ”
"Zihuan, Ziwen, Zijian, you all have to keep a vigil for Shuo'er for three days together!" Cao Cao instructed his sons.
Several people saluted together: "Yes! ”
Cao Cao turned to Mrs. Bian beside him: "Madam, I want to go to the face of the saint first and explain the matter of the princess's humiliation." And Shuo'er is dead, so his marriage to the princess is naturally countless......"
"Today's case of Ziwen's rape of the princess, although it has been ascertained that there is another hidden secret. But after all, the princess had been in the same room with him, and had intimate contact. ”
"In order to preserve the princess's name, the best way is naturally to beg Your Majesty to make a new decree, give him a marriage child, and let him marry Princess Wannian." Cao Cao continued to state his intentions.
When Cao Zhang heard this, his heart moved.
Although he had just crossed the night before and his mind was not very clear, the princess's wonderful figure still left a deep impression on his mind.
Hearing Cao Cao's proposal to marry Princess Wannian to Cao Zhang, Cao Pi was shocked.
He took great pains to design to get rid of Cao Shuo and frame Cao Zhang, just for the position of the future son.
But now not only did he fail to bring down Cao Zhang, but instead gave Cao Zhang the opportunity to marry the princess.
Although the Han family is declining now, being able to become the concubine of the Han Dynasty will still improve Cao Zhang's status and pose a greater threat to himself.
Cao Zhen understood Cao Pi's mind best, and immediately jumped out and said, "Sikong, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Zihuan, as an elder brother, has not yet married a wife, how can there be a reason to marry his younger brother first? ”
"Zidan, don't talk too much. Father's arrangement naturally has the father's reason, and everything is to obey the father's command. Cao Pi pretended to stop Cao Zhen, but in fact, he used the method of wanting to capture him.
Just when the two sang and harmonized, wanting to change their minds with Cao Cao, Cao Zhang said surprisingly again: "Father, the son is only a shallow learner, and he is not worthy of the noble identity of the princess, and he asks his father to take back his life!" ”
