Chapter 760: Suppressed

Before seeing Lu Ju, Cao Song was a little angry. It was not because of Lu Ju's identity that he looked down on her; it was because of her that Cao Xiang was determined to move alone and stay away from the capital.

However, when I met her, she saw that she was so thin that the wind was about to blow down, and her face was so dark and yellow that she was afraid of others. Cao Song's anger reached ten thousand times and frowned and said, "The Fourth Master is not here, and my nephew still needs someone to take care of him. How can you behave like this?"

Lu Ju was so trained that she was crying and lowered her head and did not dare to respond.

Seeing this, Cao Song looked a little dim when he thought of Cao Xiang, who had not yet known the news.

Cao Yong was not sure about Cao Xiang's safety. Thinking of his nephew who had not yet been a hundred days ago, Cao Yong sighed and said to Lu Ju: "Where is my nephew? If you don't fall asleep, please bring me over."

If Cao Xiang really fails, this child will be Cao Xiang’s only bloodline, and his destiny will be the same as Tian Hu.

Lu Ju tried to tears and replied, "Yes, uncle." After saying that, she turned around and whispered to the old lady.

"No news is good news. Don't worry too much, just as the second master said, taking good care of the children means you really deserve the fourth brother." Cao Yong saw Lu Ju's expression sad, and finally couldn't bear it and said slowly.

"Yes, uncle." Lu Ju lowered her head and responded, tears falling as she spoke.

This month, she couldn't tell what it felt, but she felt it was astringent and bitter. If it weren't for her, Cao Xiang would still be in the capital, he was the elegant fourth young master of the Cao family's East Mansion and a young talent in the Imperial Academy. How could he run so far and suffer these injuries?

Although Cao Xiang has not complained this year, Lu Ju can see that he is very tired. Sometimes, he often sighs. When talking about errands in the yamen, he doesn't look like he smiles. He looks like waiting for letters from home every month, and he is eager to see.

After all, he is only seventeen years old.

While talking, the old woman came in with a baby in her arms. It seemed that she had been sleeping, her eyes were bright, and she waved her little arms to scratch her.

When Cao Song saw this, he couldn't wait to take the child from the old lady's arms and hold it clumsyly in his arms. The child looks like Cao Xiang, with a small mole on his chin, and the position is the same as Cao Xiang's thoughts.

When he saw this child, he was like seeing Cao Xiang in his cradle. Cao Song grinned, but his smile froze later. He was a little stupid, and then he realized it and then thought of this.

He hurriedly sent the child back to the old lady's arms, but he couldn't bear to look at him. The third brother was gone. If the fourth brother had another possibility, how could he, the elder brother, be sorry for his deceased father?

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, turned around and looked at Cao Yong and said, "Brother, what should we do, the fourth brother..."

"Don't be impatient. In two days, the governor's yamen will send someone over there." Cao Yong replied.

After hearing Cao Yin's words, Cao Song's face turned pale and he felt more and more at ease. However, he was unwilling to say more in front of Lu Ju, so that she would not worry even more.

Cao Yong looked out the window, and it was about to dusk. He stood up and said to Lu Ju, "I will go back to the post station with the second master first. If you have any questions, just send someone to the post station."

Cao Xiang was not here, and Lu Ju, as a concubine, had no right to keep guests. She could only respond respectfully and sent Cao Yong's brothers to the door.

After getting on the horse, Cao Song couldn't wait to see Lu Ju return to the yard, and asked, "Brother, look at Zhang Shengzuo's meaning, he wants to suppress him. What should I do if the fourth brother?"

Cao Yong glanced at him. This younger brother was too simple. It was only two days after he came out of the governor's yamen that he thought of this place.

"Brother Wei has an old friend, Henan Prefecture, and has gone to find out the news." Cao Yong replied.

Cao Songcai remembered that he had not seen Wei Hei for two days, and laughed awkwardly, saying, "I knew that if my brother came forward, the fourth brother would not have to worry about it. This idiot asked him to practice more fists and feet since he was a child, but he only knew how to read books and learned to become a nerd without any power. He would be so tired that we should be brothers and fuck him..."

Yongning County, in the mountains, Shenguzhai.

Cao Xiang, who was pulled to Juyi Hall, couldn't help but open his eyes wide and his heart was stormy when he saw the statue of Maitreya Buddha worshipped in the main hall.

I thought it was just a local official who was levied heavily and forced the people to get over, so I rebeled and resisted. For this reason, even if Cao Xiang was kidnapped, he would not feel resentful towards these people.

However, after seeing this statue of Maitreya Buddha, Cao Xiang's previous compassion was gone, and he felt a little alert.

Seeing Cao Xiang's expression, the Kang brothers looked at each other without saying a word.

Li Yilin, who was sitting under their brothers' head, stood up and smiled and said to Cao Xiang: "Sir Cao, did you think clearly what the student said last time?"

Li Yilin donated his tutor and read two books. He didn't have much ink in his stomach, but he liked to speak in a literary way the most.

It was also a robbery. In the dungeon of Yongning magistrate Gao Shiqing was detained, Cao Xiang only sent two people to guard the guards. The treatment was completely different, but the only reason was that his official position was a coach.

In the eyes of local people, those who read are people, and scholars are even more amazing. Juren is the official master. This instructor is an official in charge of the affairs of the government and is considered half of the teacher of scholars.

They have a natural awe for scholars.

They wanted to recruit Cao Xiang into the gang as military advisors, so their treatment was always favorable.

Cao Xiangsheng was in the family of lords and read the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. The four words "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" have been engraved in his bones. How could he agree to this ridiculous request?

However, he grew up watching his mother's face since he was a child, and he was the best at looking at people's face. When the Kang brothers and Li Yilin were besieging Yongning County Government, the knife in their hands was red, which was a life-and-death. Cao Xiang didn't want to die in a daze, and he has been delaying until now.

The leader of the village, who was sitting in the first place, Kang Yu, the bandit leader of this uprising, had a calm face and was waiting for Cao Xiang; his younger brother Kang Heng sneered and said to Li Yilin: "The third brother, why are you talking to him? He is the tyrant sent by the prefect to supervise taxes. He also asked him to be a military advisor. According to me, if you finish the matter with one knife, you will sacrifice the flag."

It seems that Li Yilin was impatient and smiled, saying, "If Lord Cao can't figure it out, then the student can only regret it. Lord Cao is also a Han Chinese, why are he willing to be an official in the Tartar court? Now this is the time to use people, let alone a coach, when the big thing is about to be accomplished, he will be a founding hero and a prime minister, and there will be one."

Cao Xiang was really amused and crying after hearing this.

This is because of the thousand-eight hundred people in the Shengu Village? He also founded the country and the prime minister, which is the big deal of the world.

Even if more than a thousand people are elite soldiers, can they withstand the suppression of the imperial soldiers? Not to mention that among these more than a thousand people, half of the elderly, young, women and children, and less than half of the middle-aged men.

It was just taking more than a thousand lives to make a dream of the emperor. When Cao Xiang thought of the old woman who was always kind to him and the children who knew him with the branches, he felt heavy in his heart and felt so overwhelmed.

Li Yilin spoke for a while and thought he was extremely eloquent, but Cao Xiang did not speak. He couldn't help but be upset and said to the Kang brothers: "The Grand Village Master, the second village master, since Cao Xiang is ungrateful, what should he do? Please ask the two village masters to show me."

Kang Yi was in a little embarrassed. These days, his mother kept muttering in his ears that she fell in love with Cao Xiang and wanted him to be his grandson-in-law.

Kang Heng was very angry and had long disliked Cao Xiang. After hearing Li Yilin's question, he said, "It's just that the third brother is long-winded. He just broke his legs according to the lessons of the dog official named Gao, threw them into the dungeon to feed the mice, and the person became honest."

When Cao Xiang heard this, his expression remained motionless, but his back was filled with cold sweat.

Gao Shiqing, the magistrate of Yongning, was a bit honest. After being robbed by them, he called him a "rebellious thief" and was eventually broken and locked up in a dungeon. Even though he has not died, he has only half his life left.

Li Yilin thought about it and said that "righteousness first and then soldiers are the ones." Since it is not soft, it is hard to see.

He walked up and whispered a few words in Boss Kang's ear. Boss Kang raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Come on, drag the dog official down and beat the fifty board."

Before Cao Xiang could react, someone had already responded and dragged Cao Xiang out.

Cao Xiangzhi felt numb all over. When he heard a severe pain on his body, he truly realized that he was in a bandit village. These "good people" he had sympathized with before were murderers stained with blood on his hands.

Even if he was discriminated against by his legitimate mother since childhood, he was just a slap and pinch. How could he ever be so beaten?

After a few strokes, he was so painful that he burst into tears and tears came out. He quickly lowered his head, not wanting to be timid and let others see him.

When he counted in his ears to "twenty", he could no longer bear the pain and wanted to beg for mercy. However, when he raised his head and saw the statue of Maitreya Buddha worshipped in the hall, he gritted his teeth and held on.

Who is he? He is the son of the Cao family.

Even the unrespected concubine son enjoyed the family's kindness and lived to this day. If he really had a connection with the cult and became the dog-headed military advisor of these rabble, it would not only lose all the face of the Cao family, but also affect his uncle and brothers.

Forget it, just think that Cao Xiang’s life is weak.

If he could endure it, he was really afraid that he would become a coward who would beg for mercy. Cao Xiang slowly closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and sent his tongue between his upper and lower teeth. When he made a decision, he thought of his son who had not yet been around and Lu Ju, who was in love with him, and when he thought of his biological mother who was waiting for him to fall in love in Beijing, he felt like a knife.

Before he could bite, he heard an angry shout: "Stop."

As she spoke, an old woman in a half-old blue cloth jacket walked over with a cold face. Behind her was a girl with long braids. She was sixteen or seven years old, with a little dark skin, but her phoenix eyes were very lively. When she looked at Cao Xiang on the ground, she couldn't help but frown, unable to hide her concern.

The Kang brothers couldn't sit still and hurriedly came out. The strong men who were executed obediently also took the board and retreated aside.

This old woman is Duan, the mother of the Kang brothers. The girl who followed her was Jiaojiao, the daughter of Kang's eldest son. Jiaojiao had originally made a child marriage, but she didn't expect her to die in her teens. Because of this, she had a reputation as "harming her husband", and no one in the village dared to say that she was close to her.

Jiaojiao lost her mother in her early years and grew up with her grandmother Duan. She was Duan's top son.
