Cao Hong, who experienced the great sorrow and joy of life and hope after despair in just a few days, seemed to have seen a lot of things.

I don’t care about money anymore, I don’t care about land anymore, and I can give up on property and I don’t want it anymore.

He and his family returned to the mansion to pack some clothes and books that were allowed to be taken away, and he personally made a packing box, delivered it to the cart, and rectified it for most of the day.

Then he met Cao Ren, Cao Chun and Cao Cao who came to meet. The four of them gathered together, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, speechless and choking.

"Zi Lian, what are your plans next?"

Cao Ren, who had just arrived back, held Cao Hong's hand and asked.

"What else can I plan? Go back to my hometown. People who have nowhere to settle down after leaving Luoyang can only live in their hometown."

Cao Hong shook his head with a wry smile: "By the grace of Your Majesty, the prince will save me. My life has been saved, and my family has also saved me. I still have a ancestral property. Now I dare not ask for anything. I am satisfied to be able to return to my hometown and live with my family by staying with my family."

Cao Ren had nothing to say, and Cao Chun and Cao Cao had nothing to say.

Cao Hong said again: "I know it is not convenient for you to see Boyao, so I don't care. I will go see him, and then I will go back to my hometown. If we have the chance in the future, we can still see him in our hometown. Next, my life will be much better. I will be light and I will not bother me in anything."

Cao Hong looked a little relaxed, and he yearned for the relaxed days in the future while chatting and laughing.

Of course, he can't really live a dreamlike life like Cao Ren.

Despite this, his life will not be very bad. After all, he is still a rich man. His hometown's ancestral property is enough for him to live a stable and prosperous life. A rich man in his life must be the dream pursuit of many people.

Cao Ren and Cao Chun stopped talking and just sighed.

Cao Cao stepped forward, held Cao Hong's hand, and it took him a while to say something.

"Thank you Boyao for helping us."

"I will."

After saying goodbye to the three Caos, Cao Hong led his family's convoy and slowly headed towards the Henan Yin Mansion where Guo Jin now lives.

When he arrived at the Yin Mansion of Henan, the gate of the Yin Mansion of Henan was closed. Cao Hong got out of the car and went up to knock on the door. After a while, a small official from the mansion came to open the door.

"Who is yours?"

"Sinner Cao Hong, I'm here to thank Henan Yin for saving his life."

Cao Hong bowed humbly.

The little official was stunned and quickly returned the gift.

"I'll report."

"Excuse me."

The little official hurried into the mansion, and soon, Cai Wan, dressed in plain clothes, came.

"Sinner Cao Hong, pay homage to the Crown Princess."

Cao Hong hurriedly bowed.

Cai Wan's expression was as usual, and she stretched out her hand to help her.

"Don't be too polite to Cao. His Royal Highness is injured and is not very decent. It is really difficult to meet guests. Please come back."

Cao Hong opened his mouth, but didn't say anything he wanted to see him.

It is indeed inconvenient to see guests when I was injured.

"Since this is the case, the sinner will not delay His Highness' rest. May His Highness recover as soon as possible."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince was just suffering from flesh and blood, and he was not hurt. He only had to stay in bed for more than a month to be healthy. You don't need to worry about it. Your Highness the Crown Prince also said that saving Cao is his own choice and his own decision. I hope Cao will not feel guilty, otherwise he will feel uneasy."

“…”

Cao Hong pursed his lips, took a few steps back, bowed deeply to Cai Wan, and then shouted loudly, shouting all his family off the carriage.

"Mr. Cao, is this?"

Cai Wan was a little surprised.

Cao Hong said seriously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's grace to save his life, and the sinner is indebted to repay him. I hope His Highness will be healthy as soon as possible. Even if the sinner is thousands of miles away, he will pray for His Highness to the Crown Prince!"

After saying that, Cao Hong led his family to kneel down and kowtow three times to the Yin Mansion in Henan.

Cai Wan did not stop her and received this bow instead of Guo Jin.

Then he watched Cao Hong take his family onto the carriage and leave to the east with great silence.

Cao Hong's place is no longer there in Luoyang City, and his destination is his hometown in Qiao County.

It ends wherever you start. After twenty years of going around, Cao Hong was the second time after Cao Ren, and returned to the place where the dream began.

After twenty years of separation, are the people and things in my hometown the same as they were back then?

Cao Hong was somewhat grateful and expectant in his heart, and he had expectations for his future life.

Watching Cao Hong's family leave, Cai Wan sighed slightly, asked the minor official to close the door of the mansion and return to Guo Jin's side.

Guo Jin was lying on the bed with a slightly pale face and motionless.

"Uncle Zilian has left."

Cai Wan sat by the bed and carefully lifted up a few broken hairs on Guo Jin's temples.

Guo Jin didn't move, just blinking his eyes.

"It's good to leave. Once you leave, you can leave Luoyang, stay away from fighting and risk. Everything after that has nothing to do with him. How great is it."

Cai Wan doesn't care about these things, Cai Wan only cares about when Guo Jin's injury will recover.

"My father is too cruel. He has thirty sticks, how painful it will be..."

The injury was on Guo Jin, but the pain in Cai Wan's heart was no less than that in Guo Jin's body.

"Who made me disobey my father's decision? My father is the emperor. Can I swallow my anger when he was disobedient? And in the end, my father spared Uncle Zilian. The root cause is that I am."

Guo Jin pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "My father is the king of a country. If you don't do anything, just listen to me directly. Wouldn't it be a joke?"

"Is it more important to make people laugh at than to have a son?"

Cai Wan doesn't understand.

Guo Jin just smiled and said nothing.

For the emperor, there is nothing more important than his own majesty.

The emperor cannot show weakness to others.

Cai Wan doesn't need to understand.

As long as this effect can be achieved, nothing else matters, whether it is being beaten, scolded, or deposed.

Although the injury on Guo Jin's butt stopped the bleeding, it still took a long time to wait for recovery. During this period, he could only lie on the bed.

When he was a little better, three days had passed, and he began to lie on the bed to deal with some of the government affairs of Henan Yin that had accumulated before, and tried not to pull the government affairs down.

After another five or six days, the wound on his butt basically healed so much that he could move slightly. Hua Tuo came to see him and treat his butt in person, saying that in another three or five days, Guo Jin could try to get out of bed and walk around.

These days, there are still surging winds outside the Yin Mansion of Henan.

However, the intensity of the emperor's punishment of officials seemed to have been reduced.

In the previous series of major cases, except Cao Hong, the other officials who committed the crime did not die. Instead, they were dismissed from their posts, confiscated their property, moved to other counties to live, and were not allowed to return to their hometowns. They also imprisoned three generations of people not allowed to be admitted to the imperial examination.

Although the outcome was not good, he did not die after all. Not to mention how his life will be in the future, the smell of blood will disappear in Luoyang City.

I don’t know if Guo Jin was beaten with thirty sticks to the emperor. The emperor was not as fierce as before.

The remaining officials breathed a little relieved, feeling that the imperial power pressing on their heads was not as heavy as before.

I just don’t know if Guo Jin’s injury has healed.

None of the officials dared to visit Guo Jin. With some rumor, they learned that Guo Jin's injuries were recovering well, and everyone who learned about them was very pleased.

They look forward to the day when Guo Jin recovers from his injury and works again.

The emperor seemed to attach great importance to the crown prince. Despite the conflict, he still maintained all the power of the crown prince and showed no signs of abolishing the crown prince. In this way, the basic situation of the court could be stabilized and there would be no large-scale turmoil.
