Chapter 25 Left and Right Hands

Ah Hu fell down his butt, but nothing happened, and the smile on his face did not change.

"Prince, the king just called me to question."

Cao Miao sat back and said angrily: "What did you say?"

"Many, Yu Xiao Seal, Wang Tai, Han Dong, a lot."

"How did you deal with it?"

"have no idea."

"I don't know?" Cao Miao raised his head in surprise, his feet were itchy again, and he had a strong urge to kick people.

Ahu was stunned for a moment and explained, "I mean, no matter what the king asked me, I wouldn't answer him or not."

Cao Miao suddenly realized and smacked his lips. Ah Hu's mouth was tight, but this answer was too simple and rough, and Cao Zhi would definitely not believe it. He asked some details again, but he still let go of Gao Xun's affairs, so he asked Ah Hu to ask Lao Song, who was on duty outside the door, to see what else he could find out.

Gao Xun was appreciated by Cao Pi, but he actually planned to betroth Princess Dongxiang to him. He was so arrogant that he didn't take Qiao Pei Cao seriously, and only recognized Xiahou Xuan. Where did he get the confidence?

For the new drama, he had some understanding of the background of this era. However, after all, he was an actor, not a scholar, and the content he knew was mainly the role he played, and he had limited knowledge of others. He knew nothing about who Gao Xun was. Even Gao Xun's uncle Gao Rou didn't know much about it. He only knew that he was from a noble family and was proficient in the law, and then he got closer to Sima Yi.

During the Gaopingling Incident in Sima Yi, Gao Rou was a die-hard supporter of Sima Yi.

However, he is not unfamiliar with Xiahou Xuan. Xiahou Xuan is the second male lead in that new drama and has a close relationship with the protagonist he plays. He vaguely remembers that a major case occurred in the early years of Emperor Ming, called the Fuhua Case, which was related to Xiahou Xuan and others. These young people with high vision and sharpness were attacked by old ministers and were completely imprisoned by Emperor Ming Cao Rui. Many people did not re-employment until Emperor Ming died when Cao Shuang came to power.

If Gao Xun and Xiahou Xuan were friends, he would probably be involved.

This may be an opportunity to take advantage of. I have to ask my father Cao Zhi to write a book and write it to him.

But why did you say this to Cao Zhi? Cao Miao had a headache.

——

Cao Miao asked Ah Hu to inquire about the news. Ah Hu was afraid that he would not understand, so he simply called Lao Song over.

Old Song is in his sixties, with a medium figure, and his facial features are quite upright. He can still see a bit of a bookish spirit. He speaks neither fast nor slow, and his voice is not loud, but he can hear every word clearly. Unlike other old guards, he speaks like a quarrel, and he has a lot of swear words, so he opens his mouth and always walks three generations and three lower paths.

This is a habit that only those who often face Shangguan have.

"Which general was under the command of Duke Song before?"

Old Song shook his hand in panic. "Prince, the old minister dare not be accused. If the prince does not dislike it, just call the old minister Lao Song. The king, the wife, all of them call me."

Cao Miao nodded and expressed his agreement. Following local customs and not paying attention to it will easily lead to doubt.

"The old ministers have been in the army all their lives, but they have not been many generals. At first, they followed Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. Later, Emperor Wu entered Yanzhou, and the old ministers became Emperor Wu's soldiers. At that time, under the command of General Xiahou, he respected his teachers and Taoism. There were old scholars in the army, so the old ministers read a few books..."

Lao Song was afraid that he hadn't spoken seriously for a long time, and it was endless as soon as he talked about it. Ah Hu thought he was annoyed and wanted to interrupt him several times and asked him to talk about serious things, but Cao Miao stopped him. Cao Miao had time, but what he lacked was his understanding of this era. Listening to Lao Song talk about the past will be beneficial to him.

Old Song spent most of his time under Xiahou Dun and served as the chief clerk for a while. However, Xiahou Dun was stationed in Juchao and guarded the Eastern Wu. He had little war and had no chance to make meritorious contributions. Later, he was transferred to the Central Army and stationed in Yecheng, becoming a guardian of the Linzi Hou Mansion, and has been doing it until now.

"The old minister can easily recognize a few words and is quite diligent in his work. If the king goes to the capital, he will bring the old minister with him. The old minister has met Gao Xun in the capital. He seems to be one of the eight masters, and he is also the best among the younger generation of famous scholars. However, his uncle Gao Tingwei was not happy. It is said that he has scolded him several times, and the two have little contact."

Cao Miao asked some more things and finally asked Lao Song. "You have been in the mansion for many years, but who knows whose children are Qingtao and Hongxing?"

Old Song shook his head. "Although the old minister met some people with the king, most of them were men and had very few opportunities to meet the female relatives. When these children entered the mansion, they were hiding their surnames. Whoever belonged to whom should be arranged to investigate in the mansion's office."

As Lao Song was talking, Qingtao walked in, his face pale. Lao Song stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If the old minister remembers well, Qingtao may be from the Xuanwei Marquis Mansion. As for which room it is, Xuanwei Marquis has many wives and concubines, the old minister will not know."

Cao Miao pointed his head slightly and signaled that Lao Song would retreat. Lao Song saluted and turned around and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he stung back. "Prince, please forgive me for being too much. Gao Xun is familiar with the sons of the Secretary of the Secretariat Sun Zi and the Secretary of the Secretariat Liu Fang, so the prince should be careful."

"Okay." Cao Miao nodded and thanked.

Old Song went out, Cao Miao looked back at Qingtao and snorted: "It seems you are not ready."

Qingtao lowered her head, speechless.

Ah Hu slapped his mouth and wanted to speak. He looked at Cao Miao. Seeing that Cao Miao looked serious, he swallowed it back.

Cao Miao kept a cold tone. "Whether revenge or political struggle is a matter of life and death. On this road, you may encounter any kind of danger. If you are not prepared, you can consider it again. Once you make a decision, it will be difficult to turn back."

"Prince, I'm not afraid." Ah Hu said first: "Anyway, he will die if he goes to the battlefield. Following the prince, he might even be able to fight a path of blood."

Cao Miao nodded, but his eyes were staring at Qingtao.

Qingtao's lips were trembling, his hands were stirred together, and after a while, he said, "Prince, it's useless for me. But my maid's desire to avenge me is determined. No matter what kind of danger, I can tolerate it."

As she said that, she opened the paper bag on the desk, revealing the half-white broken fingers, and picked it up with two trembling fingers. Her face turned pale, her chest and eyes were still firm, without any intention of evading. "Please give this item to my maid."

Cao Miao's eyes softened a little. "You go and ask about Gao Xun's residence and their itinerary."

"Here." Qingtao bowed and turned around and went out.

Ah Hu looked at Qingtao's thin back and then Cao Miao, eager to try. "Prince, do you want to kill someone with the surname Gao? Let me go this time. There are so many people over there, it is difficult to get close to you. I can shoot him with a strong crossbow."

Cao Miao looked at Ah Hu and twisted his fingers. "Ah Hu, do you want to be a master like Hu Hou Xu Qian?"
