"Erlangjun, although I am the granddaughter of King Linggong, I can still speak in front of King Linggong, but King Linggong has seven sons, sixteen daughters, and countless grandchildren.
, I definitely don’t have such a big face, I can live for these 140 people!”
Cao Sanniang, who was defeated by an army, was so anxious that she almost shed tears. Her words were not false, because a political strongman like Cao Yijin, who has so many grandchildren that he can't even count them, could feel sorry for his third granddaughter. This is not a small family. There are only a few grandchildren. They are at least in their fifties or sixties. To be cruel, there are only a few and that’s all.
"What about my brother Yuan Zhong? Doesn't he have the ability to promote officials and protect more than 140 people?"
Zhang Zhao turned his eyes and thought of Cao Yuanzhong, the father of Cao Sanniang. This name seemed very familiar to him. A name that would make him, a modern person, feel familiar must have something in history.
Famous.
"My father... My father has always adhered to the principle of non-quarrel with others. He never disobeyed the king. He also respected his elder brother and never abandoned his official position for personal reasons.
If you are an ordinary person, I can just say a word, but the people in this village are all people who were exiled in the past. I am not sure whether my father is willing to intercede for them!"
Madam Cao Sanniang, who looked like Zhang Zhao was definitely a fraud, was a little speechless. Are you all the cold-blooded butchers of your Cao family?
My daughter and granddaughter are going to suffer, and even the descendants of those who were exiled twenty years ago may not even be able to pardon it. It’s really eye-opening!
Moreover, wasn't Lady Cao Sanni very smart when she persuaded the sand dog and the others to leave in the cave? Could it be that her mind was blocked? Why the hell did you pretend to agree first and deal with this before leaving?
Take it one step at a time!
This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so Zhang Zhao has only one option, which is to detain Qi Blind Hu, then force Qi Blind Hu's wife and brother, and trick the bald tiger into going up the mountain from below.
But this is quite unsafe! Who knows how much Qi Shaohu’s brother-in-law cares about his life? Who knows whether Bald Tiger will risk going up the mountain?
But before that, Zhang Zhao decided to scare Mrs. Cao Sanni again. Maybe she was forced to panic and she could come up with some good ideas.
So Zhang Zhao waved his arm, took the short knife hidden in his sleeve into his hand, and then said with a bit of desolation.
"In this case, Miss Sanniang, I'm afraid you have to let your master and servant go to hell for a while!"
"Wow!" Shan Niang, whose face was full of despair, finally couldn't bear it anymore. For a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, the fear of being kidnapped for days and the end of her life knocked her down.<
/p>
"Sanniang, I don't want to die! I still want to serve Sanniang and serve Mr. Yan Changlang to take the position of governor of Guazhou!"
"Words are long, words are long!" Cao Sanniang muttered a few times, and it seemed that it should be her son's name.
"Yes! There is a way!" Suddenly Mrs. Cao Sanniang clapped her hands happily, and her elegant demeanor returned to her.
"The slave's deceased husband, Murong Changdao, the camp envoy of Guazhou, was the eldest son of Guiying, the governor of Guazhou. After his deceased husband died of illness, the slave served his parents and raised his only son. He was very fond of his mother-in-law. Today, it is because of his mother's birthday.
He went back to the sandbank to celebrate, so he suffered a disaster. If I knew this, I would definitely be frightened and angry and blame the slave.
When the slave is out of trouble, your Excellency will definitely be overjoyed but also afraid of Aweng's accusation, so he will try his best to cover it up. Then he will report the matter to Your Excellency, saying that the leader of Qi Village sacrificed his life to help, and he will be able to save the lives of the 140 people in this village.
, asked for a pardon."
Alas! He is also a pitiful person! Zhang Zhao sighed secretly. This Lady Cao Sanni must have lived a normal life at home, at least she did not feel much love from her grandfather and father.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have looked hesitant when I mentioned my father and grandfather, but when I mentioned my father-in-law Murong Guiying and my mother-in-law, my eyes would shine with admiration.
No matter how good the father-in-law and mother-in-law are to their daughter-in-law, they cannot exceed the love they have for their son and grandson. It is this kind of love that Cao Sanniang clearly feels quite satisfied. This shows what kind of state she is in the Cao family, or the family atmosphere of the Cao family.
.
However, Zhang Zhao was determined and had to ask the last question. Since Mrs. Cao Sanni felt that she could really get a pardon for the 140 people in the village, she had to take all the issues into consideration. p>
"But, Sanniang, what if your father is unwilling to come forward to pardon him even if he is accused by his in-laws?"
"Then...!" Ms. Cao Sanniang showed her two teeth and bit her red lower lip.
"The slave went to find Aweng. Aweng is the governor of Guazhou. He has the power of Guazhou and can protect a hundred and forty people.
My lord is the one who has the most respect, and besides, there have been conflicts between Guazhou and Shazhou for a long time. How could he be willing to let the emperor’s yamen soldiers and their descendants go to Guazhou! I don’t even need to tell Aweng, as long as you know what I want.
If you want to go to Aweng, you must agree first."
Sure enough, people's potential is forced out. Under the pressure of life and death, Cao Sanniang quickly came up with the good idea of using her father-in-law Murong Guiying to force her father Cao Yuanzhong to intervene.
"Sanniang, I, Qi Xiahu, would like to thank you for your great kindness on behalf of everyone in the village!" Qi Xiahu was so happy that he knocked his head on the ground with a crisp sound.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhao did not discuss with Cao Sanniang to deceive him by using fake consent. He is also a veteran of the world. If he had faked it, his flaws would probably have been discovered. But Cao Sanniang’s sincere expression just now broke Qi’s mind in an instant.
Blind Tiger’s Suspicion.
"Sister-in-law, a certain Zhang Zhao is also here to thank you for your kindness. The people here are all loyal and loyal back then. My father's spirit in heaven can be very happy that they can be accepted by the Guiyi Army again.
If you can see King Linggong and my brother Yuanzhong, tell them that no matter whether the surname is Cao or Zhang, the Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi Army, this is the home of Tang'er and us. Zhang Zhao appreciates King Linggong's hard work in governing these years.
Only admiration, no resentment!"
Zhang Zhao bowed his head to Cao Sanniang to the end. Since Cao Sanniang did not intend to cheat, but sincerely hoped to rescue Qi Xianghu and others while ensuring her own safety, Zhang Zhao also expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart. A woman's idea of using her father-in-law to semi-coerce her father would not be a glorious thing even in later generations, let alone in this era. Lady Cao Sanni can be called disobedient and unfilial.
As for Cao Yijin, Zhang Zhao did not tell lies. Back then, Zhang Zhao's father, Zhang Chengfeng, attacked from all sides and almost brought the Guiyi Army to the brink of destruction. If not for Cao Yijin's all-round and exhaustive thinking in recent years, the Guiyi Army would have
Whether the regime can still exist is unknown.
"Don't worry, Mr. Erlang, if you can still go back alive, even if Master Nu is not happy, I will definitely bring these few words with you." Cao Sanniang also formally returned the gift to Zhang Zhao and said.
"Brother Qi, please ask my brother-in-law to bring my brother's wife and children here first. Sanniang is a rare noble person. If my sister-in-law can get a few words of advice from Sanniang, it will be of great use."
This meant Qi Blind Hu handed over his wife and children as hostages. Of course Qi Blind Hu also knew what Zhang Zhao meant. He nodded solemnly and signaled his wife and brother to go down the mountain quickly without any hesitation.
