Chapter 5 Family heterogeneity

The world was turned upside down overnight, and the powerful general Dou Wu was forced to commit suicide because of the eunuch's coup.His confidants were all killed, those loyal and loyal people who were promoted by him were imprisoned one after another, and the party members who had just escaped from prison were imprisoned again.The seventy-year-old old lady Fu Chen Fan was beaten to death by eunuchs. The corpses of the imperial court students and Yulin soldiers piled up into mountains, and the gurgling blood dyed the earth red. Cao Song's younger brother, Cao Chi, was an official worshiper of Changshuiying Sima, and personally participated in the operation.It was already the afternoon of the second day when Dou Wu and Chen Fan's remnants were all executed.Cao Chi took a break from his busy schedule and went to visit his brother's house when he had time.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he saw Ah Man kneeling upright in the courtyard.It is common for this kid to kneel when he is mischievous. "What's wrong with you?" "My child ran out to play privately last night." Ah Man shook his head. "You're really promising. Last night was a mess, thanks to your guts!" Cao Chi patted his head, "How is it? Where are all your crazy ideas? Then play convulsions with your father!" "Use too much, it won't work." Ah Man pouted. Cao Chi pursed his lips and smiled, bowed his head and said, "Get up! We have a happy family today, so I don't need your family law! Let's play!"

"Don't spare him!" Cao Song came out with a sword in his clothes, and said coldly, "I'm used to being arrogant and pampered, and I dare to do anything! If the officers and soldiers were injured yesterday, how can I feel sorry for him? dead mother?" "Brother, don't get angry. With the death of Dou Wu, we brothers will have good luck again." "Can Dou Wu's remnants be wiped out?" "All those who deserved to be killed and those who should not be killed were all killed. No dog or dog was left in the Dou Mansion. The Queen Mother has also been placed under house arrest. Now everything is at the discretion of Wang Fu and Cao Jie. The Situ Mansion where I took troops to yesterday, Hu Seeing me, Mr. Guang was so scared that his calves twisted. I said, "You are always a good person. There is nothing to do with your old age. Please convict Dou Wu and Chen Fan." His hands trembled when he picked up the pen. "Cao Chi said with a smile, "After the matter is over, he said that I have made great contributions to the suppression of the rebellion, and he will give me a promotion. I will become the captain of Changshui!"

"You are truly blessed to be promoted at the same time." Cao Song said sourly. "Brother, don't worry, you offer advice in the face of danger, Wang Fu will never treat you badly!" "I don't know the sorrow of death, but how can I know the joy of life..." Cao Song sighed, "Why do people like Chen Taifu have to be enemies with eunuchs? How can we end up like this if we live our lives in a down-to-earth manner? I'm afraid we will be reviled again .” "Whoever gets scolded these days will live a good life." Seeing him moaning without illness, Cao Chi said with a smile, "Brother, why do you have to think so much? This kind of life-and-death thing has been less and less in every generation? You just need to be a high-ranking official and ride a horse. In the future, Ah Mo and the others will point your finger at you to make a fortune!"

"Bah! I hope this little bastard will make a fortune, and wait for the sun to come out in the west!" Cao Song recalled A Man's story again, "Look, how dangerous it is to pick up a sword while running out in chaos! When I woke up, I was afraid." Said and handed the sword to Cao Chi. Cao Chi just glanced at it and was stunned: "This, this is... Qingzhi Sword!" "You recognize it?" "He Yong's sword... He Yong used this sword to avenge the murder of his father for his friend Yu Weigao, and he used this sword to kill the thief. This sword still carried the lives of several people last night!"

"What?" Cao Song's face turned pale with fright, "Bo Qiu's sword..." Cold sweat was already oozing out of Cao Chi's forehead: "Last night... Chasing and killing the Tai student, only He Yong escaped. There are rumors among the people that he escaped from Luoyang City in disguise..." All of a sudden, an atmosphere of terror lingered between the brothers.Cao Song grabbed Ah Man by the collar: "Where did this sword come from?" "I... I picked it up outside last night." "Nonsense!" Cao Chi yelled, "How could such a precious Qingzhi sword be picked up casually? Why can't I pick it up?"

"That's because you didn't catch up. I picked it up when I caught up." "Stop talking! Tell the truth!" Cao Song's big slap was raised. Father and uncle stared fiercely at Ah Man, his heart felt a chill, and he could no longer hide it, so he knelt there and told everything about last night.Unexpectedly, before the words fell, my father slapped me with a "snap". Although Ah Man has been mischievous and troublesome since he was born, he has never been beaten.With tears in his eyes and his face covered, he was trembling like a leaf in the wind, and he couldn't figure out why.

"Little bastard! You nearly killed the whole family because of you alone!" Cao Song insisted on slapping him with a big slap. "Forget it! Forget it!" Cao Chi held him back, "The child is young, how can he understand these things." "I'm right!" Ah Man summoned up his courage from nowhere, and shouted at his father, "Uncle He begged him not to be a bad person! My younger brother always said, 'It's not worthwhile to see righteousness', so why can't I help him? The eunuch put All his friends have been killed, more than eighty people, seventy-year-old old men were beaten to death, they are the bad guys!"

Ah Man found that with this hysterical cry, Dad's gaze changed, it was no longer the kind gaze, nor was it anger, but a kind of disappointment, a kind of pity, a kind of gaze towards a different kind!Being stared at by such eyes is more uncomfortable and cruel than being beaten. "Okay, okay, you are really promising." Cao Song muttered, "Tell those people to kill the eunuch and kill our whole family to take advantage of your wish. It's all because of my lax discipline and indulgence You...don't get in my way here, return home and leave tomorrow! Go back and tell Lao Qi to discipline you! You are never allowed to come to Beijing again!" He turned around angrily.

"Second Uncle! My father doesn't want me anymore, please plead with my nephew!" Only then did Ah Man realize the seriousness of the problem, and hugged Cao Chi's thigh.Cao Chi shook his head, pulled his hand away, and stuffed the Qingzhi sword back into his arms: "Tigers are poisonous, so why would your father not want you? He hates you and doesn't know how to repent. You go back to your hometown and follow you." Uncle Seven should study hard and stop causing trouble. Your father will let you come back. Silly boy, do it yourself!" Looking at the back of his uncle going away, Ah Tan couldn't figure it out: What's wrong with you all, what did I do wrong?
