Chapter 39 39. Drive out unreliable cronies

Seeing that Cao Cao knew that he was accepting bribes in private, Qin Yilu repeatedly kowtowed and said, "The little one is wrong! The little one is wrong!" "It's late." Cao Cao shook his head. "I didn't summon those county magistrates to ask for bribes. On the contrary, I just wanted to get rid of their officials. I claim to be upright, but this is unfair. I deliberately lured They bribed and didn't give them any leeway... But I gave you three chances! I was afraid that you would accept bribes, so I sent you to the front station in advance. This is the first time you have won the house of County Magistrate Zhao. Once I can Forgive you, the second time I sent you to contact the county magistrates, you got so many benefits. In the end, I asked you how much you got, and you still wanted to avoid the most serious and hide those belongings...Three times! You disappointed me so much. you go!"

"You, you don't want me anymore?" Qin Yilu was startled. "I can't have you anymore." Qin Yilu burst into tears: "Master, do you really don't want the younger one? The younger one is wrong, please forgive me! As long as you don't drive me away, you can do whatever you want! In the future, you will write to Luoyang Back and forth, pointing at the little one and rushing back and forth, you..." "You are the person my father sent to spy on me, right?" Cao Cao looked down at him, "You told my father about my private accusations of Bian's family, provoking people's lives, and befriending Zhu Jun, right? I don't know. It’s your fault, dad is also doing it for my own good. Now that I think about it, I did a lot of ridiculous things, but now that I’m a father, I can’t rely on my dad’s help anymore. My younger brother sent "On the Potential Husband", Wang Fu Saying, "A gentleman trembles and trembles, be careful every day, restrain himself and save himself three times, and see nothing is right." As long as I do this, I don't need anyone's help anymore. You go back to Luoyang, go back to my father, and serve his old man. "

"You don't want to leave! I don't want to leave you! I have been with you for ten years, are you really so cruel?" Qin Yilu wiped away his tears and hugged Cao Cao's leg. "Let go! If I don't kill you, I've already done you a favor. Go back to Luoyang and serve my father." Qin Yilu trembled for a while: "No... the master's temper is the most clear. If the errand is messed up, the master will never spare the young man, or he will kill me..." "Hmph!" Cao Cao's eyes burst into a fierce light, "Will I not kill you?"

Qin Yilu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, trembling like a leaf in the rain, holding the skirt of his clothes with his hands, not daring to speak anymore. "Back then in Dunqiu, I killed the yamen servant who took bribes, and you saw it with your own eyes! Logically, I should kill you today!" Cao Cao's ferocious eyes dimmed again, "But I think you have followed me for ten years!" In 2010, I miss you traveling to and fro to suffer for me, I miss you fighting the enemy for the country without fear in front of the battle, and I miss you working so hard to serve my food and clothing, so I made this arrangement. If it wasn’t for these, I would punish you in public to rectify the country’s law Don't get entangled anymore, I will leave tomorrow... In order for me to be a strict official for a generation, to refresh Jinan's bureaucracy, and to prevent more people from being victimized, I am only an official of eight county magistrates, and I can't just protect you alone! The rotten flesh grows on my body, and a strong man cuts off his wrist, so I have to cut it." After saying that, Cao Cao broke away from his hand, turned around and was about to leave.

"Master!" Qin Yilu yelled, "Let the little one kowtow to you at the end!" After saying that, weeping and pretending to be miserable, hoping to arouse Cao Cao's compassion. Cao Cao said in a low voice: "Back then you were a soldier guarding the gate in Luoyang City, complaining that you had no money to marry a wife and start a career. At that time, I promised to help you start a family. But these years we have not had a moment of peace, so I have forgotten it. ...Now that you are still unmarried at this age, I still feel ashamed. Therefore, I will give you the original value of those gifts you received. If you dare not see my father, you can go back to your hometown with the money. Marry a wife and buy land to live a peaceful life..." After saying that, he walked away.

"Go home!? How can I still have a home after being away from home for so many years? Woooooo..." Qin Yilu cried for a long time, got up helplessly, and glared at Lou Yi again: "You...why are you so cruel? I and We have been together for ten years, but we have been together since we were guarding the gate in Luoyang, no less than thirteen years! It has been thirteen years, and you are plotting against me like this! Knowing that I am taking bribes, you still told me to contact other county magistrates , isn’t this too vicious?” Lou Yi lowered his head and sighed, "He ordered me to do this, and I can't help it."

"I don't believe it, the Lord wouldn't plan on me like this, never! I make him happy every day, it must be you! It must be you!" Qin Yilu gritted his teeth and pointed at his nose. "It's really his own idea... Master has changed, he is no longer the merciful person he was back then." Lou Yi also shed tears while talking, "You are no longer the Yilu who was obsessed with fawning over errands back then. It's really your mistake... Grandpa is too smart, and he doesn't allow others to be smarter than him! You are wrong on this point. "
