Chapter 32 Cao Song enters the Yamen

Cao Cao walked around the streets all night last night, so Qin Yilu naturally had no rest.Now that Cao Cao was gone, he was lazy for a while.He also expected that he might come back soon, and he couldn't be provoked if he had a bad temper these two days, so he went to the back office to pack his books and clothes.Unexpectedly, as soon as he got busy with his work, a yamen servant hurried over and said, "Qintou, get out quickly. The old man is here!" Qin Yilu quickly put down what he was doing and called all the people in the yamen to the front. Seeing Cao Song sitting on the guest seat with a heavy face, he quickly knelt down and said hello: "Young one, see the master."

"En." Cao Song responded, looked him up and down, "Meng De took you back to the mansion...your name is Qin Yilu, right?" "Yes." Qin Yilu secretly admired the old man's good memory. "I heard from Meng De that you are very smart?" "The young ones are really dull, and they can't bear the word smart." "Blunt? You better be blunt!" Cao Song said angrily.Qin Yilu didn't listen right, and didn't dare to stand up. He lowered his head and said bravely: "The young master has something to go out. Your boss is here, do you have any orders? Do you want to call the young master back?"

"You have a pretty clever mouth." Cao Song didn't show any smile on his face. "I'm going to find the young master right now." Qin Yilu got up and left after saying that. "Stop! It's not Meng De I'm looking for today... Qin Yilu stays here, and the rest get out!" Cao Song gave an order, and all the servants except Qin Yilu withdrew. "Boy, I purposely came to you today while my son was away. Stand up, I have a few words to ask you." Qin Yilu felt uneasy and stood up trembling. "I want to know, where are the original two accompanying men by Meng De's side?"

"This... this..." Qin Yilu's forehead suddenly seeped sweat, "I don't know, I haven't seen them since Lou Yi and I came here as errands." "Never seen? You really dare to speak..." Cao Song stood up and walked around Qin Yilu twice, "I don't know? It seems that your memory is not as good as mine at a young age! Let me remind you, yes Who urged Meng De to send them to your original errand to guard the gate? Who ordered the other night watchmen to bully them? They were beaten up on the snowy day and forced to watch the night outside, don’t you know? Two people alive Frozen to death in the snow, don’t you know? Who came up with the idea to make those people report a sudden illness and died for them, don’t you know?”

Qin Yilu fell to his knees with a bang: "Young one is guilty!" "You are amazing! I didn't expect that I really underestimated you. Luoyang City is worthy of being a big country, and the gatekeepers are really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! There are ruthless masters like Lou Yi who kill without batting an eye, and wolf cubs like you !" Cao Song sneered, "The confidant house slave I raised with one hand, you killed him without making a sound, you are amazing!" Qin Yilu was so frightened that he shook his head like a sieve, and could not speak a word with his head down.

"Do you think they are just ordinary domestic slaves? Let me tell you, they are the sons of our Cao family. I trained them and assigned them to Meng De. They told me every move of Meng De. They killed Jian Tu, Tong Qiao, etc. I know all about Xuan's outings and cheating on Xu Shao! I was afraid that Meng De would be young and aggressive, so I specially asked these two people to inform me, so that I could help him maintain the relationship if something happened... That's good! Call you This wolf cub is abolished! I'm still in the dark, I haven't heard anything for two months, and I didn't know about such a big thing as reporting Cao Poshi! You are so brave, believe it or not, I will kill you?"

Qin Yilu was so startled that he pissed in his trousers, crawled two steps forward, hugged Cao Song's leg, and cried, "Master, please forgive me! I have no other choice... Please forgive me... Woo... " "Look at your virtue! Wipe away your tears!" Cao Song kicked him away and sat down firmly again, "You dog slave, you were not born when I plotted against you! Are you brave enough to do it? , What a thing! You tell me what is going on, if I soften my heart, maybe I will spare your life." "Yes!" Qin Yilu wiped his nose and tears, "That's how it happened. Ever since Lou Yi and I followed the adults, they thought we were vying for the favor of the old and selling the old and asked us to do hard work. I couldn't stand it so I told the adults that we leave There were still two people missing in the class, so I asked them to make up. They refused to accept it and tried to plot against me, scolding the street in the class. I used to be the head of the night watch squad, and those brothers came to tell me that I was thinking about doing one thing and not doing two things. Go on and on, let them find a way to kill them... I am also forced to do nothing, I will not have a good life if I don't kill them... Sir, please forgive me since I am a first-time offender." Kowtow vigorously.

"Hmph! You are so talented..." Cao Song glanced at him, "I'll show you two ways, you can choose for yourself." "Which two paths?" Qin Yilu saw a glimmer of hope. "One is that I will give you a rope, and you find a crooked neck tree to tie the knot yourself. The other..." "Master, you said that as long as you don't call the little one dead, you are willing to do anything small." "Okay, it's not a big deal to say that two slaves died, but Mengde can't do it without my people. Just like this time, if I knew in advance, he wouldn't be transferred out. Since you can Count them to death, so you are smarter than them." Cao Song leaned down and patted Qin Yilu on the shoulder, "Meng De is going to be an official in other places from now on, and the capital and Yanzhou are so far away, so I will be more careful if there is any mistake in the future. I can't control it anymore. Since you killed them both, I will leave their errands to you. Listen carefully, you have to remember Meng De's every move, everything he does, and whoever he gets close to. Alright, then find a way to tell me, got it?"

"Yes!" Qin Yilu kowtowed again, "The little one will definitely do as you say." "I hope you will do what you say... From now on, I don't care how much money you get from Meng De, I will keep their share of the money for you alone; as agreed in advance, I will also keep this case record for you Let’s say, taking human life is a capital crime! The joys of life and the sorrows of death are before you, you can decide what to do yourself!” Cao Song got up and walked out. "Send, send master..." "Don't give it away, change your pants first!" Cao Song stepped out of the yamen without looking back.

As soon as Cao Song left the yamen compound with his personal entourage, he saw a purple-colored carriage parked at the door.The curtain of the car was lifted, and the white-haired old Qiao Xuan came down from the inside.The two looked at each other, and were stunned... "Qiao Gong, what a coincidence!" Cao Song took a long time to speak. "Jigao is here too!" Qiao Xuan also looked dull, "I heard that Meng De is leaving, so I'll come and see him." "Thank you for your concern. I am grateful for your care for the child these past two years..." Cao Song knew that his status was embarrassing, but he still wanted to express his gratitude.

"It's nothing. Meng De is a good boy and a good official. It's not because of anyone that I like him. It's right to walk around among colleagues." Seeing his attitude of rejecting others thousands of miles away, Cao Song also agreed. I can't say anything more, so I just cupped my hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, old man. The weather is cold, pay more attention to your body. Meng De is not here, if you want, you can go in and wait for him for a while. I have something to do and I won't accompany you." He lowered his head and got on the carriage.
