Chapter 91 Is the Xin Family Trustworthy?
Cao Chong was reading the Spring and Autumn Period carefully at this moment. When he read the emotional part, he couldn't help but shake his head.
certainly……
This is all about doing it!
Not to mention "Spring and Autumn Annals", even "Jin Ping Mei" and "The West Chamber" cannot attract much interest in reading.
In the era when videos of later generations were rampant, these little people's books were too pediatric!
"The Spring and Autumn Annals" is written in ancient text, which is greatly reduced in interest, not to mention that its narrative method is mostly straightforward, and a battle sometimes only has one sentence.
There was no viewing effect at all, but the personnel and events inside were things that were generally familiar to this era like "Journey to the West", so Cao Chong had to read them.
Cao Chong whispered a cup of iced sour plum water, while flipping through the bamboo slips, his life was still acceptable.
After a while, Cao Chong picked up the sour plum water, but Yu Guang saw a tall figure entering Chongyuan Hall.
Moreover, his steps were a little slight and careful!
Could it be an assassin?
Cao Chong raised his heart and looked up, but found that he was still an acquaintance!
Iron pillar!
"Tiezhu, why are you here? I heard from others that you are mysteriously missing!"
Tiezhu walked around his head awkwardly, wearing coarse cloth clothes, and stood in front of Cao Chong with a little twisted look.
"Young Master!" Tie Zhu suddenly knelt in front of Cao Chong, and kowtowed three times on the ground!
"Young Master, Tiezhu is sorry to you!"
Cao Chong stood up, feeling a little confused.
"Tiezhu, what do you say about this makes me confused!"
Tiezhu looked up, tears and snot appeared on his thick face. While wiping the tears with the corner of his clothes, he sobbed and opened his mouth.
"The villain was betrayed the young master before!"
Cao Chong was surprised, but he was a little curious that this silly boy could betray him or something.
"How to sell?"
Tiezhu suddenly looked at Cao Chong with serious eyes. He thought Cao Chong was going to punish him, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Young Master, the villain was short of some money to buy some rice and food for his family. He was worried. He didn't expect that the person who had worked as a bad guy in the Prime Minister's Mansion had introduced me to a big man in the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, saying that he was giving a string of Wuzhu coins. The villain was confused for a moment, so he told me about the bad things in the handwriting of Gongzi!"
"oh?"
Cao Chong responded, and only then did he understand why Cao Zhi dared to challenge him with such confidence that day.
It should be noted that before that night, Cao Chong published a lot of literary fu, and his literary hard knowledge was quite good!
Even if Cao Zhi has great talent, there is no need to challenge him at the risk of being slapped in the face in front of Cao Cao. It turned out that the man in front of him betrayed the news that Cao Zhi "misunderstood" that his literary essays were copied.
Cao Chongzhan smiled and stepped forward to help the iron pillar up.
"What's wrong with you? It's really a big help!"
Although Tiezhu's move betrayed Cao Chong, it was estimated that in ancient times, the life of the slave was the master, and Cao Chong had the full right to execute Tiezhu, but Cao Chong obviously did not want to do this!
It’s no big deal to know the mistakes can improve!
Cao Chong looked at the face of this fool, and he didn't look like a traitor. Since he knew his mistakes and could correct them, why not give you a chance!
Tiezhu was stunned, and then his thick face smiled a little, but he quickly took out a long string of coins from his pocket.
Wuzhu coins, the weight of Wuzhu coins is regular, the shape is standard, the weight is standard, and the casting is excellent.
It was made by the government. According to historical inertia, it was used until the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, it is the only currency in circulation!
"Young Master, this string of money is useless at all. It's all here. I hope you forgive Tiezhu!"
Cao Chong held the string of Wuzhu coins in his hand, weighed it for a while, and then placed him on Tiezhu's hand.
"Take it, I don't blame you. Go, take the extra meal for your kid!"
Tiezhu's eyes were already very red and swollen, but now when he heard Cao Chong's words, he even cried again.
"Young Master, Iron Zhu has no choice but to repay you!"
Cao Chong smiled in his heart, but his face was very serious.
"It's just a little money, just take it!"
Seeing that Cao Chong was about to get angry, Tiezhu put the string of Wuzhu coins back on his chest with tactfulness, but his eyes became more and more firm.
Cao Chong smiled and used a string of copper coins to exchange for someone's loyalty. This transaction was not worth more!
"Even if there is nothing wrong, then Tiezhu will go down first. I want to review the book!"
Tiezhu thought about it for a long time, and his legs standing on the ground were like an old tree, and he didn't move until he died, but he was reluctant to say what was in his stomach.
After all, if you break into his mansion and eavesdrop on important matters, will the young master allow such a person to serve him?
"What? Something else is wrong?"
Huh~
Tiezhu took a deep breath, his eyes became more determined. He clasped his fists at Cao Chong and knelt down again.
But this time, it's half-kneeling!
"Young Master, there is one thing that Tiezhu has to tell you!"
Seeing Tiezhu looking at him so faced him, Cao Chong's curiosity was attracted again.
"Then you say it!"
Tiezhu looked up, and the worries on his thick face were replaced by Jianyi, so his words naturally spit out of his mouth.
"Young Master, I'll go today..."
Cao Chong listened quietly to Tiezhu telling the story, from the worry at the beginning, to the shock later, to the suspicion at the end, and the expression was really wonderful.
"You said the people inside said that the Xin family had contacted the fourth brother?"
Tiezhu nodded and said, "He said that it was a last resort for the Xin family to join the young master, so he had already chosen a way out. Although they followed you, you are from the bad guy!"
The Xin family is not my person, but Cao Zhi’s person?
Cao Chong suddenly felt a little relieved. The Xin family was too powerful. First, he was with Cao Pi, now he was with me, and even with Cao Zhi?
Don't they know that doing this is playing with fire?
"Tiezhu, tell me how you sneaked into Pingyuan Hou's Mansion!"
After getting information alone, Cao Chong, the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, guessed whether he could have an assassination and let Cao Zhi get out first.
"That's right. I first mingled into Pingyuan Hou's Mansion with the convoy who transported vegetables, and then..."
After listening to Tiezhu's answer carefully, Cao Chong said all the sneaking into the process.
According to Tiezhu's answer, his success rate is still a little bit, but Cao Chong was still worried. If it was someone else's trap, he would be a big deal!
"You've been lurking in the lobby for so long, haven't the person in the toilet been found?"
Tiezhu was stunned and immediately said, "Of course I was discovered, but the most common thing in Pingyuan Hou Mansion was wine. It happened that I smelled a little alcohol in my hand, which made them think he was drunk and went to the toilet!"
Drunk to the toilet?
Cao Chong shook his head, and with a little bit of alcohol, he thought he was drunk. The people from the Pingyuan Hou Mansion should not be very stupid!
"Forget it, Tiezhu, you go down first!"
Chapter completed!
