005, Are there tricks in the city?
Dangdangdang~
Dong dong dong~
Wancheng Shouyang Tower is a three-story luxury restaurant. Today, the Nanyang County family invited Prime Minister Cao to drink and watch a show upstairs. The show was the Han Dynasty Era drama "Huang Gong of the East China Sea".
"Huang Gong of the East China Sea" tells the story of a man who knew magic in the late Qin Dynasty and went to the East China Sea to subdue a white tiger. As a result, his magic failed and he was bitten to death by the white tiger.
This opera has beautiful lyrics and moving melody. The scene of a man fighting a tiger is full of dangers and has acrobatics and illusion effects. The audience was mesmerized and cheered endlessly.
"good!"
When the opera was over, everyone cheered, and Cao Cao ordered the troupe to reward them with a piece of gold cake.
The troupe knelt down to thank him.
Next to him, Cao Hong also took out his sleeves and took out two five-baht coins. Just as he was about to throw them out, a short and thin man came behind Cao Hong and said quietly, "Master, the informant came to report that today Cao Xin went to Zhangzhou again." I stayed at Xiu Mansion for a long time before leaving."
"oh?"
Cao Hong stuffed the money back into his sleeve, "How many days is this?"
"The seventh day!"
"Haha, it's been seven days. That boy Cao Xin injured Zhang Xiu, but he went to Zhang Xiu's house every day. It seems that there is indeed a problem between him and Zhang Xiu."
Cao Hong squinted his eyes and smiled coldly.
"Hehe~ Master, I heard that Cao Xin fell in love with Zhang Ji's widow, Mrs. Zou. He even shouted to marry Mrs. Zou on the battlefield. Many people know that Cao Xin may be living happily in Zhang Xiu's house right now."
The thin man Cao San grinned and rubbed his fingers.
"Zhang Ji's widow? Zhang Ji was 52 years old when he died. His wife was at least in her forties. That guy Cao Xin has such a strong taste that he won't even spare a woman in her forties?"
Cao Hong's eyes widened and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"The master doesn't know. After Dong Zhuo occupied Diao Chan, Li Ru planned to find a beautiful woman to give to Lu Bu to ease the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. The woman Li Ru found was Zou, but before he could implement the plan, Lu Bu Assassinated Dong Zhuo outside Beiye Gate.
Later, Zhang Ji became a hussar general. His subordinates saw that he had no wife or children, so they offered Mrs. Zou to fill his house. Zhang Ji died in Rangcheng last year, and Mrs. Zou became a widow. She was only 24 years old this year.
Then Cao Xin didn't know where he heard Mrs. Zou's reputation, so he ran to Zhang's house every day, as if he was fascinated. Hehe, besides women, what else can make a man so fascinated."
Cao San licked the corner of his mouth and chuckled.
"So that thief Cao Xin got a great beauty for nothing?"
Cao Hong gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh.
His heart ached.
When he was conquering Tao Qian in Xuzhou two years ago, he heard that there was a great beauty in Ganjia Village in nearby Xiaopei. Her surname was Gan and her name was Yuniang. She was twenty-eight years old. Her skin was fair and beautiful. Her skin was whiter than that of chalcedony. Greasy and smooth.
A fortune teller told her fortune and said that she had a prosperous husband and that her fortune was very valuable.
After hearing this, Cao Hong was secretly moved and planned to take Gan Yuniang away when passing by Xiaopei after the war.
But that damned Cao Xin got the news from nowhere, so he took the initiative and took Gan Yuniang away.
After Cao Hong got the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was the blood cousin of the prime minister, but his wife was robbed by a sworn brother who came out of nowhere. Damn it, it was such a bully!
This time Cao Xin's killing of a thousand swords went even further. Not only did he step on his head to get promoted, but he also got a great beauty for free. It seemed like that guy had taken away all the good things in the world.
The more Cao Hong thought about it, the angrier he became. He rolled his eyes and suddenly laughed.
Cao Cao, who was sitting at the top, was stunned by the sudden laughter.
"Zilian, why are you laughing?"
"Haha, Prime Minister, I just heard an interesting thing and I couldn't hold it back for a moment. Prime Minister, don't blame me."
Cao Hong cupped his hands and smiled.
"Uncle Hong, what's the interesting story?"
Cao Anmin asked knowingly.
"Haha, everyone should have heard about the dispute between Cao Ziyu and General Yangwu Zhang Xiu. Half a month ago, the two fought to death by the Feishui River. Cao Ziyu almost killed Zhang Xiu, but recently Cao Ziyu went to Zhang Xiu's house every day.
I wish I could live there, do you know why?"
Cao Hong squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Oh, what's the reason?"
Cao Anmin continued to praise.
"Hey, I heard that in order to make friends with Cao Ziyu, Zhang Xiu took the initiative to give him the women in his family for fun."
"real?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and their hearts burned with gossip.
"Zilian, don't talk nonsense!"
Cao Cao interrupted Cao Hong, glared at him and said, "Ziyu told the truth that he asked General Yangwu for advice on marksmanship. It is not as dirty as you think."
Cao Hong was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes, "Prime Minister, the last time Cao Ziyu and Zhang Xiu fought, Zhang Xiu was defeated miserably in less than twenty rounds. How could Cao Ziyu ask his defeated general to learn marksmanship?"
"Ziyu has his own reasons for learning to shoot. Don't make random guesses."
Cao Cao waved his hand and continued to watch the performance in the audience.
Seeing Cao Cao watching the play, other people also turned their attention to the stage.
Cao Hong's face slowly darkened and he drank a glass of wine gloomily.
Originally, he thought of taking the opportunity to accuse Cao Xin of being greedy for money and lust, and secretly colluding with the generals to surrender, but he didn't expect that Cao Xin had reported to the prime minister in advance, claiming that he was going to learn marksmanship, and the prime minister believed his lies.
Cao Hong's plan failed, he felt even more depressed, and even drinking fine wine was not satisfying.
When the banquet ended in the evening, Cao Hong led his guards to escort Cao Cao out of the restaurant. Cao Cao was full of wine and food, and stretched himself while looking at the brightly lit streets.
"Singing to wine, life is just like the morning dew, how bitter it will be in the days to come."
"A good poem, a good poem recited by the Prime Minister."
Cao Hong praised.
"Zi Lian also knows poetry?"
Cao Cao twisted his waist and smiled.
"Hey, I didn't understand it before. After following the Prime Minister for a long time, I gradually understood it. The poems written by the Prime Minister are all good poems."
Cao Hong grinned.
"You, you."
Cao Cao laughed and suddenly asked seriously, "Zilian, are there any prostitutes in the city?"
"ah?"
Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, prostitute? The prime minister needs a woman? Suddenly, his mind suddenly lit up, and a perfect plan quickly formed in his mind.
"Prime Minister, have you heard of Mrs. Zou?"
Cao Hongren asked, holding back his excitement.
"Who is Mrs. Zou?"
"Mrs. Zou is a great beauty, and her beauty is heavenly."
Cao Hong immediately told the story of Mrs. Zou. In the story, Mrs. Zou was a beautiful woman whose appearance was not inferior to that of Diao Chan. She was only 24 years old and had been a widow at home for more than half a year.
"widow?"
Cao Cao's eyes brightened.
"Hey, it's said that Mrs. Zou's appearance and talent are among the best in the world, and many people ask for her but she can't get it. I would like to come forward on behalf of the Prime Minister and invite Mrs. Zou to come to the house and accompany the Prime Minister to recite poems and paint, so as to relieve the Prime Minister's fatigue."
Cao Hong cupped his fists.
Cao Cao hesitated slightly and his eyes flickered.
"Zhang Xiucai came to us..."
"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry too much. Zhang Xiu is greedy for life and afraid of death. For the sake of glory and wealth, he is willing to sacrifice even the city's soldiers and horses, let alone a mere widow."
Cao Hong patted his chest and said that with his sharp tongue, he would be able to persuade Zhang Xiu to obediently offer the beauty.
Cao Cao nodded, slightly agitated, "Zilian, after you go to General Yangwu's house, treat Zhang Xiu and Mrs. Zou with courtesy and don't be too impatient."
"Prime Minister, don't worry."
After sending Cao Cao back to his mansion, Cao Hong took two hundred soldiers and went straight to Zhang Xiu's mansion.
Looking at the door number of Zhang Mansion, Cao Hong smiled coldly, Cao Xiaoliu, Cao Xiaoliu, this time the prime minister wants your woman, what can you do? Hahaha~
"Someone, knock on the door!"
Cao Hong shouted.
"Yes, General!"
