Chapter 1216 Morality and Human Heart

When Luoya came back, as soon as he entered the gate of Cao Mansion, Cao Yong saw Cao Xiang wandering around in front of the screen wall.

Seeing Cao Yong, he was a little excited: "Brother..."

Seeing that he was wearing a replenishment, his face was anxious and he was not as steady as usual, Cao Yong couldn't help but wonder: "Fourth brother, is there something to look for me?"

Cao Xiang nodded vigorously, but looked around, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing this, Cao Yong knew what he knew and took Cao Xiang to the study.

After sending the servant who was serving in the study, Cao Yong said, "What the hell is it? Is it so anxious?"

Cao Xiang said: "Brother, Master Cha's family was arrested and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice..."

"Bachelor Cha?" Cao Yong read it again, remembering that it was referring to Cha Siting's second brother, Cha Siying, who had retired from the lecturer.

Cao Yong's expression couldn't help but become solemn, looking at Cao Xiang and said, "It's already this? The fourth brother is so concerned. Could it be that the scholars of the same school have an old age?

Both of them are Hanlin officials, and their ancestors have old friends, so it is normal for them to have some friendship.

Cao Xiang said sincerely: "When I first entered the Hanlin Academy, I had to teach Bachelor Cha. Although Bachelor Cha retired in recent years, his son Cha Ji, an editor of Hanlin Academy, was the same year. In the past two years, he also served as an official in the Hanlin Academy and was brought to be a close friend. I often went to Cha's family and had to teach Bachelor Cha a lot. Although I didn't have the name of teachers and students, I had the reality of teachers and students."

When Cao Yong heard this, his expression became a little solemn.

He didn't know how many Cha's family members would be involved in the Cha Siting case, but he was shocked by the three words "word case".

In the case of Wang Jingqi, he died himself, his wife and children became slaves, and his brothers, uncles and nephews were exiled to Ningguta.

Even though he didn't know the details of the case of the family, he knew that it would not be smaller than that of the Wang family.

After all, three hundred years later, perhaps no one will know the Cha family in Haining, but when it comes to the literary inquisition of the Yongzheng Dynasty, everyone will think of the four words "what the people are stopped".

The Cha family is the source of these four characters, and these four characters are regarded as Yongzheng's head. This is a crime of rebellion and immorality. It can be executed by lingchi and killed nine clans.

Seeing Cao Yong remained silent, Cao Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, Master Cha is over 70 years old and weak. Now it's nine more days... Little brother, little brother..."

He struggled so hard in his heart. For the sake of the teacher's teaching and the righteousness of his friends, after he received the news, he immediately brought money to the Ministry of Justice to clear the situation so that the teacher and his friends could live a better life, and then he would do anything else.

But when he hurried back to the mansion to get the silver notes and stepped out of the East Mansion gate, his steps hesitated.

Although he was less than thirty years old, he also had some knowledge because he entered the officialdom early.

Since the case of the check family involves relatives, it will not be a small case.

The disaster of the clan!

Cao Xiang thought about the Wang family that had fallen last year, and hesitated a little, so he came to the West Mansion to find his cousin to make an idea.

At this moment, Cao Yong had already thought clearly and said, "Fourth brother, care will lead to chaos. Now the case of Cha's family has begun to be tried. Even if the family members are imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice will not dare to slap people at will before the case is decided."

The Cha family is not like the other family. If the family is in trouble and no one helps, it will be defeated.

"Seven Jinshis in one school, five Hanlins in uncles and nephews" has become an old saying. As the descendants of the Cha family gradually grew up, the number of Jinshis has increased to about ten.

The remaining older children and nephews also have fame and fortune; the younger sons also cannot put them down as soon as they can remember them.

Unless it is really a crime of extermination, even if the Cha family suffers severe setbacks, as long as the seeds continue, there will be a day of revival.

After hearing his cousin's words, Cao Xiang sighed and said with a hint of embarrassment, "I am really a coward. Now, I have a lot of concerns and have lost the word "righteousness..."

Cao Yong waved his hand and said, "No need to blame himself. You must be responsible. You can worry about your mentor and worry about your friends, but you can't act recklessly... The case of Siting is suspected of slandering the emperor and involves the fact that the emperor is afraid of. How can you join in at will?"

Cao Xiang looked gray and murmured, "Then do nothing?"

Cao Yong shook and said, "Although it is not time to provide timely assistance, 'charcoal fire' can be prepared. This case will not be lighter than Wang Jingqi's case, and it will be mostly lost. Now that the case is just beginning, the palace and the court are watching, just to rest, and it is useless to help others. It is better to wait for the opportunity and lend a helping hand after the case is closed."

After hearing this, Cao Xiang Surong bowed and said, "What brother taught me is that I know how to do it."

For the elderly Cha Siying, exile is much more dangerous than prison disaster.

None of them can be left behind for medicine, money, and exile land.

"If you don't have money, come here to get it. You can go to Tongrentang for tonic pills," Cao Yong said.

Cao Xiang hurriedly said, "The money is enough, but my brother still has some money. However, the supplement pills must be prepared by Lejia."

When the meal was about to come, after talking to my cousin, Cao Xiang made up his mind and did not stay for a long time. He went back to the East Mansion first.

Cao Yong and Cha's family had little relationship with each other and could not empathize with him like Cao Xiang. However, seeing his cousin calm down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since I mentioned the matter of Cha's family with Jiang Jian at noon, Cao Yong has a vague premonition.

The case of Cha's family is not only a taboo in writing, but also apart from the Cha's family's Zeng Party, but also other things in it.

It's more like the follow-up of the case of Li Fu and Tian Wenjing attacking each other.

Yongzheng began to attack Han officials and scholars.

These people are the ones who reacted the strongest to the Yongzheng New Deal.

Cao Yong didn't want his cousin to be reckless at this time and participated in this matter.

After entering the inner courtyard, Cao Yong went to Lanyuan to pay tribute to his mother as usual.

Li was not here, only Changsheng and Uncle and Nephew of Tianbao were in the room.

On the kang table outside, there were pens and ink and red-tracing booklets, and Changsheng taught Tianbao to traverse red-tracing forehand.

Seeing Cao Yong come in, both uncle and nephew stood up.

"Where is the old lady?" Cao Yong asked curiously.

"The ancestor is sick, the old lady went to the ancestor's yard." Changsheng said.

"Have you hired an imperial physician? What did the imperial physician say?" Cao Yong couldn't help but worry and asked.

"I asked, the imperial physician said that the external wind evil was infected, so I could take good care of it. I was also watching my grandmother from the other end, and my mother drove me back." Changsheng replied.

As the two brothers were talking, they saw someone picking the curtain in. They were not someone else, but the maid next to Li, named Xiushen.

It turned out that Li told her to come back and pass the message, asking Changsheng and Tianbao to stop waiting for him, and to have supper first.

Cao Yongyuan only thought Gao Taijun had a normal cold, but when Xiu Yan said that Li would not come back for dinner, he felt something was wrong.

Cao Yong ordered Xiu Yan to arrange supper for the two children and went directly to Gao's yard.

As soon as he walked down the corridor, he heard Chu Yu's voice faintly coming from the west room.

There are only three upper rooms in Gao Taijun's yard, the east room is Gao Taijun's bedroom, and the west room is Xiangyu's house, now it is empty, so a few Buddha statues have been invited.

When a maid saw Cao Yong, she tiptoed to greet her, and her voice was low.

Seeing her doing this, Cao Yong whispered: "Has the old lady been asleep?"

The maid nodded and said, "Mrs. I just took the medicine with her own hands and I stopped after taking it."

At this moment, the inside man also heard the noise outside, and Chu Yu picked up the curtain.

She looked red and said to her husband in a low voice: "The old lady has cried for a while, so the master quickly persuades her. If she continues to cry, the old lady will not be able to bear it."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yong took a breath of air conditioning, looked at the east room, and said softly: "Can it be..."

Chu Yu nodded and said softly: "The imperial physician said it was an old illness, so he asked to prepare for major events, and said... I'm afraid it's not good, just before and after the New Year..."

Cao Yong's steps became a little heavy and he slowly entered the west room.

Mrs. Li sat by the kang, her eyes were swollen and her face was covered with tears.

"Mother..." I couldn't say a million words of comfort, and Cao Yong walked to his mother and felt his nose sore.

Although Gao Taijun had a variety of temperaments in his early years and had a rigid and rigid manner, he became more and more kind as he grew older.

In Cao Yong's heart, even if he could not regard her as respectful as Sun Taijun, he would have a little affection for his grandparents and grandchildren.

When he saw his son, Li pulled Cao Yong's sleeve as if he was a life-saving grass, and cried and said, "My son, I have hired a quack doctor today and said silly. I don't believe it. Your grandmother is sick. Let's invite another good imperial physician to come and have a look?"

"Okay, my son will ask Zhang Yi to take his son's famous post to the imperial physician." Cao Yong nodded and said.

Not to mention hiring an imperial physician, just three or five, as long as the mother feels more comfortable, as long as there is a glimmer of life on Gao Taijun, Cao Yong will not bother.

When Li heard this, tears gushed like a spring. He shook his head and said, "Let's forget it."

Seeing that she changed her mind, Cao Yong was puzzled and looked at his wife standing beside him, and then she heard her whisper: "In addition to Dr. Chen, two more doctors were invited to come in the afternoon..."

After all, Gao Taijun is old.

After returning to Beijing from Qingyuan, she stayed in bed every now and then.

When Xiangyu came back, she knew that Concubine Mi agreed to take care of her miserable great-nephew and grandson. Gao Taijun once told Li that there is nothing to let go in this life, so she can go with peace of mind.

"The old lady is a wise man. How can my mother be so sad? If the old lady is depressed, she might be able to recover quickly and delay it. Only when the old lady is in a good mood can the disease be cured." Cao Yong said.

Li nodded repeatedly, not knowing whether he heard it or didn't listen.

Chu Yu was worried that her mother-in-law had not used dinner yet, so she ordered someone to arrange food and wait for her to have dinner.

Li couldn't eat it. Seeing that his son was still wearing official uniforms, he waved to Chu Yu and said, "I have a maid here to serve you. You can go back to your own yard first. It's also dark outside. You can't let the person who works in the office go hungry at home."

Chu Yu was just talking to her husband, so he followed the instructions and followed Cao Yong back to Wutongyuan first.
