After an ordeal of questions and answers, Cao Yunhui finally sent Wu Kexuan away.
During the questioning process just now, Cao Yunhui also wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the situation, but Wu Kexuan's tone was so strict that he didn't ask anything.
Although Wu Kexuan is gone now, Cao Yunhui's mood becomes heavier and he feels that a disaster is coming.
Immediately, he called his wife Liu over and told her the latest situation.
There is no doubt that Mrs. Liu was also frightened by the news of being killed, so much so that she became obsessed with it.
"You have to go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother to help with this matter!" Cao Yunhui looked solemn.
Mrs. Liu had no objection to this, and she also felt that only the Queen Mother could help.
But before Mrs. Liu could leave, a servant came to deliver a message to Cao Jiasheng, asking him to go to the inner house for questioning.
"Let us all go?"
"Exactly, the master said, everyone must go!" the old servant replied carefully.
"Maybe it's someone who spread the rumors again. I'm looking for an opportunity to clean up the house!"
After saying these words, Cao Yunhui and his wife had no choice but to go to the inner house, and they had to behave extremely calmly.
As soon as they arrived at the yard where Cao Jiasheng was, they saw their father's gloomy expression.
"Dad, do you have something to tell me?"
"Has something happened at home again?" Cao Jiasheng asked with a cold face.
Cao Yunhui said with a smile: "It's okay. I told you at noon that our case has been settled!"
"You bastard, why don't you tell the truth?" Cao Jiasheng scolded angrily.
"Dad, it's really nothing serious!"
After hearing this, Cao Jiasheng stood up, picked up the tea cup and threw it at Cao Yunhui.
"Guizi, do you want to piss me off to death?"
Cao Yunhui, as a father, knew his son best, and there was no way Cao Yunhui could hide it from him by lying.
The people from Yingtian Mansion came to ask questions and were aggressive. He had already learned from his subordinates that something must have happened.
Looking at Cao Yunhui's performance at this moment, how could Cao Jiasheng believe his lies?
"Dad, please calm down, please calm down!"
Regardless of being hit, Cao Yunhui quickly stepped forward to help his father, but he was immediately slapped twice more.
"Sir, tell the truth!"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Cao Yunhui could only tell the truth.
After listening, Cao Jiasheng cursed "idiot" and then fainted.
Fortunately, there was always a doctor at home, and after some emergency politics, Cao Jiasheng came to his senses, which also relieved the Cao family's worries.
Lying on the bed, looking at the clansmen in the room, Cao Jiasheng said slowly: "Everyone else, go out, Yunhui stays!"
Everyone in the room had to leave, leaving only the father and son in the room.
"This is...the home you manage?"
After hearing what his old father said, Cao Yunhui knelt on the ground with a plop and wanted to speak but was speechless.
"With so many things happening to our family, Feng Hou must not think about it anymore..."
"From now on... you must be careful in running your family, avoid causing trouble, and live a peaceful life!"
These words sounded as if they were explaining the funeral arrangements, which made Cao Yunhui very uncomfortable.
"My child will obey my father's teachings!" Cao Yunhui promised as he knelt beside the bed.
After taking a few breaths, Cao Jiasheng felt a little more comfortable and said again: "Go...get my court uniform!"
Just as he was about to get up, he heard that he was asked to take the court uniform, and Cao Yunhui was confused.
"Dad, what are you doing with the court clothes?"
Cao Jiasheng closed his eyes and said, "Enter the palace and apologize!"
"Dad...we just go to find the Queen Mother, why do you have to go there yourself!"
Cao Yunhui only noticed entering the palace, but did not realize that the focus of this sentence was to apologize.
So at this moment, Cao Jiasheng hated the iron and said: "What are you doing to your aunt? I said sorry... are you deaf?"
What happened in the past two days made Cao Jiasheng extremely alert. Although he couldn't think of a clue for the time being, it also made him guess that the Cao family might have fallen into some kind of trap.
Cao Jiasheng knows how cruel the power struggle is, so now he just wants to get out of the fight.
Therefore, he would not beg anyone, but would plead guilty openly and bear any punishment, and the matter would be over.
"Take the court clothes!" Cao Jiasheng yelled angrily.
At this time, Cao Yunhui didn't dare to make his father angry again. There was no guarantee that he could be saved if he took the anger out on him.
Making dad angry to death is also a crime of treason, and then the Cao family will really be doomed.
Soon the court clothes were fetched, and Cao Jiasheng rested for a while. When he felt that his body could hold on for the time being, he ordered his servants to change his clothes.
The last time I wore court uniform was when Zhao Yanxun ascended the throne. It has been more than two months now.
In the past two months, Cao Jiasheng's health has become worse and worse, and he himself may not survive for a few more months.
So, in Cao Jiasheng's opinion, it was worth it to exchange his own life for the whole family to be exonerated.
"Prepare the sedan!"
With tears in his eyes, Cao Yunhui ordered someone to prepare the sedan chair, while Cao Jiasheng slowly walked out of the house with the help of his servants.
When I came to the courtyard, I looked up at the sky. The warm sunshine was very comfortable.
Soon the sedan was ready, Cao Jiasheng got on the sedan and rushed to the palace, and Cao Yunhui also followed to take care of him.
At the other end of the palace, Cao Miaoyin was knocking on a wooden fish, kneeling in front of the Buddha and reciting scriptures.
At this time, outside the Buddhist hall, an old nanny came quickly.
"Queen Mother, something happened to the Cao family!"
Just this sentence made the wooden fish in the Buddhist hall stop.
Cao Miaoyin opened her eyes and asked immediately, "What's the matter?"
"The slaves and eunuchs in the outer court are talking about it, saying that the Cao family killed the Dianshi of Wannian County!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Miaoyin's expression suddenly changed, and at the same time a surge of anger rushed into her heart.
"Really?"
"This slave also heard what people outside said!"
Cao Miaoyin said angrily: "Then go and inquire quickly and find out what is going on!"
"yes!"
After the old woman left, Cao Miaoyin overturned the small table with wooden fish in front of her and cursed angrily: "This whole family is stupid and useless!"
Of course Cao Miaoyin would not believe that the Cao family beat officials to death, but this matter must be related to the Cao family.
Less than half a day after the tax issue was settled, the Cao family got into trouble like this again. It was really a mess that couldn't be lifted up.
Soon, the person who inquired about the news came back, allowing Cao Miaoyin to have a grasp of the matter.
She is also a very smart person, and she will notice something fishy when she thinks about it for a moment.
"Someone must be causing trouble, using the Cao family to take advantage of my influence, and then obstruct the emperor's investigation... or even obstruct the emperor's new policy!"
After some thinking and inference, Cao Miaoyin thought about it to the deepest level, and at the same time, it made her even more angry.
Someone was driving a wedge between mother and son, and wanted to use her against the emperor. How could she, who was so proud, endure this?
"What's the emperor's reaction?" Cao Miaoyin asked again.
The palace maid in charge of inquiring quickly replied: "The case is being investigated by the Criminal Department!"
"Send someone to check the Supervisor and the Guards to see if they have done anything. Don't let anyone find out!"
"yes!"
If the Editorial Supervisor and the Jin Yiwei also have special personnel to investigate, it means that the emperor is aware of the problem, and then Cao Miaoyin can rest assured.
If the emperor was about to fall into the trap and vent his anger on the Cao family, the matter would be irreversible.
Everyone went to do their own things. Just when Cao Miaoyin was about to send someone to Cao's house to find someone to question, she received new news.
"Uncle Tao Yang came to ask for forgiveness? Did he come by himself?"
"Exactly, it's the news from my uncle. I think we're almost at the palace gate now!"
When her eldest brother came to plead guilty, Cao Miaoyin guessed what the other person was thinking after just a moment's thought.
