Chapter 320
When Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, heard Xin Ping's words, he roared angrily, "If it's not Cao Mengde, who could it be?"
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
"this?"
Just this sentence left Xin Ping speechless.
Although he tried to dissuade Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, he only put the overall situation first. According to his heart, he probably had the same idea as Guo Tu.
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, sneered, "Mr. Zhongzhi, why don't you speak?"
Xin Ping smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Eldest Master, whether this matter was done by Meng Degong or not, we cannot make it public."
Guo Tu sneered, "Mr. Zhongzhi, since you admit that Cao Mengde did it, why can't you make it public?"
At this point, Guo Tu's tone paused, but then he continued without waiting for Xin Ping to answer his words.
"Mr. Zhongzhi, since he dares to plot against us, do we have to endure this tone?
Humph, needless to say Cao Mengde, no matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to make the eldest son angry."
When Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, heard these words, he became even more angry and said, "How dare you lie to me? No matter who it is, I will never forgive him."
Xin Ping waved his hand hurriedly, "My eldest son, after all, Meng Degong is also a good friend of the lord. If we raise an army to investigate, I'm afraid outsiders will gossip.
Especially if there are some people who don’t know the truth, if word comes to their ears that the eldest son is ruthless and unjust, wouldn’t this be very detrimental to the eldest son’s reputation?”
Hearing this, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, stamped his feet angrily, "But, are we going to let Cao Mengde go just because of his reputation?"
Xin Ping hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Young Master, a little impatience will mess up a big plan.
Now our army came to Yanzhou at the invitation of Cao Mengde. If we capture him, outsiders will definitely think that we are coveting Yanzhou, so we deal with Cao Mengde.
My eldest son, your reputation is very important at this time. Once it is damaged, it may be detrimental to the future and may even cause dissatisfaction with the lord, so the gain outweighs the loss."
Hearing this, the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, couldn't help but frown.
Everything he is doing now is to show his father because he wants that position.
If your reputation is damaged, it may be impossible to get that position again.
Thinking of this, Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, snorted coldly, "Although reputation is important, if Cao Mengde behaves like this, if I don't teach him a lesson, I really can't swallow this breath."
After hearing this, Xin Ping felt a little relieved. He knew that the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, just wanted to find a way to get off.
"Young Master, your reputation is like a feather. Once it is damaged, it is difficult to repair it. And now we all just have suspicions, but there is no real evidence.
When we have real evidence, we still have time to settle the score with Cao Mengde.
Even if the lord knows it by then, he will not blame the eldest son if he has real evidence."
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, nodded when he heard Xin Ping's suggestion, "Mr. Zhongzhi, although your words are reasonable, I still feel a little uncomfortable if I let Cao Mengde go like this."
Guo Tu on the side suddenly sneered, "Eldest Young Master, since you feel uncomfortable, why not teach Cao Mengde a lesson and let him know that Eldest Young Master is not someone to be trifled with."
