Chapter 18 It’s a killing of the tiger, and it’s also a crime to bear a treasure

Luoyang, a prison.

In the prison punishment room, a lamp burst out from the torch, and now a trace of regret flashed in Sima Fang, the Luoyang ruling, eyes.

But in just a moment, this color turned into infinite ferocious aura.

He said to Cao Song coldly: "Cao Dahonglu, you, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't want you to become a prisoner today!"

Cao Song, with a disheveled face, looked up and saw clearly the person coming.

It's Sima Fang!

Inexplicably, I felt a little relieved...

"Three years ago, when Sima Gong was appointed as the Right Prime Minister of Shangshu, he recommended Meng De as the Northern Territory of Luoyang. Due to his identity, Cao had never been able to thank him. Unexpectedly... Today he met Sima Gong here! Then... in the past, Cao thanked Sima Gong here!"

As he spoke, Cao Song bowed to Sima Fang!

Sima Fang sighed with a "ah" sound.

He recalled the scene when he recommended Cao Cao in the past.

At that time, Cao Cao assassinated Zhang Rang and stole the black account of Zhang Rang's mansion. To a certain extent, this saved many "party members" and made great contributions to the scholar's camp!

Even Yuedan Comment, who always claims to be a "clear stream", gave him a comment - "A capable minister in governing the world, and a traitor in troubled times!"

Sima Fang recommended Cao Cao just to follow the situation and repay him with kindness to those "party members" who were able to avoid disaster.

only…

Unexpectedly, things in the world are impermanent!

The new round of rehabilitation of the "party members" actually involved the Cao family!

Ahem...

Cough lightly.

Sima Fang opened his mouth and said, "The Great Honglu had also been the Sili Captain before. He knew this torture method. If the Cao family colluded with the Song family, I hope he would speak out in a blunt way, so as not to hurt you, my relationship."

"Cao has already said the interrogation just now. Recently, my son Meng De has sent a letter to the Song family and broke up with the Song family... My Cao family and the Song family are no longer involved!"

Cao Song's words became a little more firm.

He never dreamed that today... the last straw he could catch was a few days ago. His son Cao Cao retreated from the Song family's gift box like a fool, and unilaterally forced the two families to break up completely!

hehe…

Thinking about it now, Cao Song drove his son out of the house, which made him feel a little more ironic.

"The Great Honglu is obsessed with it, so don't blame the subordinate for enforcing the law for His Majesty!"

Sima Fang looked at Cao Song coldly.

"Come on, twenty rods!"

The expressionless criminal came over and wanted to drag Cao Song. Cao Song shook his hand in disgust. "Don't touch me!"

He endured his inner shame and resentment, and slowly leaned over to the ground...

The prisoners on both sides lifted up his robe, raised his staff and knocked it down on Cao Song's buttocks and legs. Cao Song was adopted by Cao Teng since he was a child. Not to mention being pampered, it was the first time he had suffered such corporal punishment, and he was so painful that his forehead was filled with sweat.

His teeth gritted his teeth tightly and said nothing.

Finally, twenty rods were beaten down, and there was a blood stain behind Cao Song. But after the criminals walked away, the old man, who was nearly fifty years old, was breathing deeply, tremblingly supported him, and stood up again with difficulty, looking at Sima Fang calmly, but said nothing.

"These twenty rods are just for the Grand Master to try them out. Now, can you call them?"

"What to recruit?"

"Of course I'm admitting your activities with Yin Qianghou Song Qi!"

Cao Song smiled faintly: "I am afraid that I will disappoint Sima Gong. I, Cao Song, are in a straight manner and sit upright, and there is nothing shameful about it!"

Sima Fang was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was infected by Cao Song's spirit.

"Tread..."

He walked to Cao Song, bent down, and put his mouth close to Cao Song's ear.

"Your Majesty has not mentioned the receipt of the son's receipt..."

A very light and thin voice came into Cao Song's ears. Cao Song's eyes suddenly opened wide, and when he met Sima Fang's eyes, he seemed to understand something at once.

After pondering for a while, Cao Song murmured: "It's not like 'the birds are gone'..."

Before he could finish his words, Sima Fang immediately interrupted. He still replied in a very light and delicate tone: "The 'birds are gone', it should be 'knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger', and it also tastes like 'being guilty of possessing a treasure'!"

"In recent years... the money that Dahonglu and Cao Dachangqiu greedy for Mo may have filled the military expenditure deficit in several years!"

After a whispering conversation between the two.

Cao Song's eyes were wide open...

Empress Song, Fufeng Song family...

It turns out that it's just an introduction!

What Your Majesty has to do is to remove a series of thorns in his side.

Among them, there is a scholarly faction;

But there are also their eunuchs!

call…

A heavy breathing sound came from Cao Song's mouth.

Sima Fang stood up and deliberately raised his tone: "Since the Great Honglu refused to recruit, it is no wonder that people's hearts are like iron, and the national law is like a furnace. People come, hang up and whip and serve!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound of whipping sounded in the torture room.

The sunken clouds surged in the sky, the sky became dark, and the muffled thunder came out faintly!

…

…

The sound of rain is gurgling, and in a house in the north of the city.

This is Xiahou Yuan’s mansion. Unlike the high-ranking officials and nobles who live in the south of the city, Cao Song specially bought Xiahou Yuan’s mansion in the north of the city, and it was a rather remote place!

What few people know is that there are still many things hidden behind Cao Song and Cao Jie’s greed for the past few years!

But, even Xiahou Yuan, the owner of this mansion, didn’t know about these things!

Under a lonely lamp, Cao Cao's concubine Liu Chun patted Cao Ang, who was over three years old, and coaxed him to sleep.

His wife Ding Hui and her sister Ding Xiang looked at her husband Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan under a big tree in the courtyard.

A pair of Ding sisters looked at the pair of brothers, but their eyes were filled with a lot of confusion and helplessness!

Who would have thought that in one day, the sky in Luoyang City would change!

The Cao family was implicated in the witchcraft case of Queen Song, and even the patriarch Cao Song was imprisoned.

Thankfully...

Today, Ding Hui and Liu Chun brought Cao Ang to play with Xiahou Yuan's adopted daughter Xiahou Juan... Only then did they escape the disaster.

At this moment... in a rainy night.

Cao Cao sat at the root of the tree, and the drizzled raindrops dripped from time to time. He murmured to himself with his head in his arms.

"Why? Why?"

"I clearly... I have already...I have already returned the Song family's gift box as Brother Yu said, and I have replied, "The Cao and Song families broke up... Why can't Your Majesty see it?"

Xiahou Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to comfort his elder brother, but the words came to his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort him!

Cao Cao's eyes were lowered, and his eyes were full of confusion.

"well…"

Sighing helplessly...

He suddenly realized that Brother Yu was not here, and he actually had no one to discuss and even someone to help him out when he encountered problems!

Helplessness, hesitation, despair, and all kinds of emotions made Cao Cao feel like he was suddenly lost.

Brother Yu, Brother Yu…

How great would it be if you left one day late?

call…

However, Ding Hui, her silver teeth bit her red lips, seemed to hesitate first!

Immediately afterwards... he clenched his fists and ran quickly to Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan.

"I will go back to my parents' home tomorrow. There are also some Han officials in my family. Let them go and inquire and see how my father is in prison? What is the specific trial? If the money can be settled... Then even if the Ding family loses everything, they will definitely save their father!"

Ding Hui's tone was firm...
