Chapter 84 Eleven, the ruthless Cao Pi

"Dong dong dong" there was a rush of footsteps coming from the door of the jingshe, and then a thunderous voice suddenly sounded: "Jia Taiwei! Jia Taiwei! You have to show mercy and save Cao's father Your Excellency!" The sound made people's ears tingle, but amidst the loudness, there was a hint of crying. Although he had already guessed that something might happen to Cao Hong, Sima Yi did not expect it to come so quickly.His heartstrings couldn't help but tense—Could it be that Cao Hong has already been captured and punished by Ting Wei? ! At this moment, I heard Jia Xu calmly say as she used to sit in the temple, "Don't panic, don't panic, Mr. Cao, just sit down and talk slowly..."

"Oh! Taiwei Jia! Uncle Jia! How can Cao Mou sit still now! I can't wait to see you - that 'cold noodle boy' Cao Xiu brought a large number of Habayashi soldiers and surrounded my mansion. The water flow was blocked, and I kept urging my father to be sent to Tingwei Zhao Prison for interrogation. My father was so frightened that he collapsed on the couch on the spot, not daring to breathe..." Jia Xu slowly stroked his gray beard, eyes half-closed: "Oh? Your Majesty is going to send the Hushi General to Tingwei Prison? This is very strange... But, Mr. Cao, you How can I ask for help from this old man? Mrs. Luo of General Cao Ren, doesn’t your cousin live next door to your Hussar General’s mansion? Mr. Cao, you should ask her for help!——Ask her to represent General Cao Come out to His Majesty to make things right..."

"Mr. Jia, you don't know. Cao has already gone to see Aunt Luo, but Aunt Luo told them: His Majesty asked Xia Houshang to pass on this incident to them, and they are not allowed to intercede for my father. She Neither I nor Uncle Cao Ren dared to come forward to rescue them, lest it might backfire." Sima Yi could hear clearly from behind the screen. It seems that this time, Cao Pi has indeed harbored anger towards Cao Hong for a long time, and is ready to take revenge!Sigh... Cao Hong, as a veteran of the clan, seemed to be too cruel to be hit by his nephew like this. Jia Xu pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "This...Mr. Cao, even if he is a relative of the family and honorable minister like General Cao Ren, he can't save your father, what can I do?" Out? Mr. Cao, you should hire someone else.”

After hearing this, Cao Fu kowtowed his head violently on the floor and begged tearfully, "Jia Taiwei, my father told my nephew to look for you today, saying that you are resourceful and resourceful. With a benevolent heart like the sea, I will definitely be able to give a helping hand to save him for the sake of fighting side by side with my father and serving Emperor Wu in the western expedition to Ma Chaoshi, and being in the same robe with my son..." After hearing his sobs, Jia Xu couldn't help hesitating deeply.After a long while, he let out a long sigh, and slowly said: "In terms of general Cao Hong, he is generous and generous, and his friendship with me is not weak. Now that he is in such a predicament, I feel very uncomfortable seeing him. How about it?" , Nephew Cao Fu, I heard that gold, silver and jewels are piled up like mountains in your house, silk and satin are like a sea, and grains and grains are stored in hundreds of thousands—this is probably where your father's 'illness' lies! Go back and persuade you Father obediently went to Tingwei Prison to punish himself, and at the same time donated all the gold, silver, silk, satin, grain and corn for His Majesty's military plan. Perhaps, this is the only way to help your father escape. Get through this calamity."

"Wh... what? Taiwei Jia—you are trying to let our Cao family lose their property? I'm afraid my father will be very heartbroken..." "Heartache? Hehehe, heartache can be compared to the pain of being in prison and being in prison? Hurry up and take the initiative to disperse your family wealth and dedicate it to your majesty. Maybe General Cao Hong can still avoid the unforeseen disaster. If you are greedy for money, food and wealth, don't I am willing to dedicate it to His Majesty... I am afraid that General Cao Hong will suffer even more!" "Jia Taiwei! How dare Cao take care of his belongings? Compared with my father's safety, what are these money, grain, and silk? It's just...just, His Majesty has always boasted of being the Emperor of Hanwen, and he has always advocated frugality and integrity. I am afraid that he will not use these things. Money, food and wealth are in your eyes, right?"

"That's right, Your Majesty is rich all over the world, why would he take a fancy to your family's property? To tell you the truth, what His Majesty is interested in is not your little money, but the loyalty behind your family's property." Jia Xu I had no choice but to open the skylight to Cao Fu and tell him some secrets, "Nephew Cao Fu, Jia remembered that His Majesty once mentioned: the few days that Ding Yi brothers and Yang Xiu held in Yecheng and Xuchang There was a grand Pingyuan Hou Poetry and Prose Appreciation Ceremony. Thousands of high-ranking scholars were invited to attend, and a seven-day and seven-night banquet was held in succession. I don’t know how much money was spent on those expenses. According to His Majesty, he always remembered that it was General Cao Hong who paid for it behind the scenes. Could it be that General Cao Hong has a wealth of wealth, but he is so generous to Pingyuan Marquis Cao Zhi? Now that His Majesty is about to march south, he is also in urgent need of money, food and silk. At the critical moment, he was still unwilling to express anything—so, it is not surprising that your mansion has undergone such a sudden change today."

After Cao Fu heard this, his face froze, and he was silent for a long time, and finally he fell on the floor and knocked his head several times, and said a little sourly: "So that's how it is...Cao finally understands! Alas! Your Majesty Since you have this intention, why do you do it like this? All the money in my family was bestowed by Emperor Wu back then, and today I just want to give it back to them! After Cao returned to the mansion, he immediately persuaded my father to go to jail and face the crime. And immediately donate all the money, food, and treasures in my mansion for His Majesty's military plan...From then on, my whole family, Cao Fu, will return to my hometown in Peijun to live in seclusion, and I will never set foot in Luoyang and Jingdu for the rest of my life!"
