He couldn't go to Qingzhou and Jizhou to find his favorite manor, so he sent his cronies and followers to see and help him find a good manor.
Look for a manor with a large area, a large population, rich products, and the owner's social relationship is not complicated, count it, and bring it back to Luoyang for him to choose.
After he chose his favorite manor in Luoyang, he let his cronies and followers do it in his own name and come to pick things up.
Of course, the main thing is to buy his manor and land, let the manor owner make a price, and sell the manor to him.
Of course these manor owners are unwilling.
They are all ancestral property, how can they be sold?And where can we live after we sell it?What a joke!
Well, it's not for sale, is it?
The doormen began to threaten.
Do you know who we are?
Do you know who our master is?
Cao Hong, General Left of the Guards!
Do you know who Cao Hong is?
do not know?
Blind your dog eyes!
What is the current queen's last name?
Surnamed Cao!
Cao Hong's Cao!
The royal relatives!
Do you dare to fight against the royal relatives?
court death!
After a set of very classic routines of dog legs bullying others, the tyrants are often difficult to resist, and they want to resist and ask for help. Nai Heping usually doesn't show the official face very much. Now the official heard that it was Cao Hong who came to make trouble, and just hid far away .
You don't pay taxes, why should I protect you?
What's more, the other party is a relative of the emperor!
Isolated and helpless, if the manor owners don't cooperate, the consequences will be very dangerous. Cao Hong's disciples are not easy to deal with, they are all [heroes] of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although heroes are basically extinct now, such people still exist in some large manors.
They were all desperate people who licked blood at the edge of their swords. In order to help Cao Hong, they secretly committed murder.
Some were lucky enough to be beaten out with sticks, and those who were unlucky were hacked with a knife. Cao Hong's retainers killed the manor owner and directly occupied his family and land.
The tenants, facing the loess and their backs to the sky, watched helplessly as their manor owner was killed and their family members were taken over, looking miserable, and then jumped from one fire pit to another.
This is the case with some manor owners who are cowardly in the face of power.
But there are still some very strong ones who will not hesitate to reveal that they have weapons and raise their troops to resist with arms.
This is good, armed resistance, that is a rebellion!
So there is no burden to kill them, and the retainers will bring more powerful armed teams to destroy these resisters, and then occupy their property.
So Cao Hong's manor grew more and more and more and more...
Ok?
Hearing this part, Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly widened.
"You use private soldiers to destroy those powerful private soldiers, and then occupy their manors?!"
Cheng Yu slapped the table and stood up, staring fixedly at the accountant of the Cao family who had accidentally slipped his tongue.
Cao's accountant was stunned, and then realized what he said, and his face changed drastically.
"No, no, no! It's not like this! It's not like this! The Patriarch didn't do this on purpose! Yes... yes... yes..."
He hesitated for a long time, and the accountant didn't know what to say.
His face paled.
Because those powerful manor owners are not without the power to resist, they will really resist when they are pushed, but Cao Hong's private armed forces are stronger and the number of people is larger, so they can often use the difference in strength to destroy the opponent and invade them of all.
Cheng Yu found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking before.
Even if Cao Hong didn't have private armed forces before, but he wiped out so many manors with hidden private armed forces and occupied all their properties, he naturally also occupied their armed forces.
Moreover, the account book does not show that Cao Hong has a record of large-scale surrender or smelting of weapons.
That is to say...
Cao Hong's manor has a large number of weapons. Once the situation changes, he can immediately pull up a team to carry out armed military operations!
This is clearly illegal!
It is the type that Guo Peng expressly prohibits and resolutely punishes severely!
Good guy!Wait for me here!
rebel!
This is rebellion!
This is a real move to rebel!
Cao Hong!
Cao Hong!
Cao Hong!
You dare to do this kind of thing, good, good, very good!
If I don't kill you this time, I don't deserve to be this Sili school...
and many more.
When Cheng Yu was very excited to convict Cao Hong of rebellion, he suddenly realized that Cao Hong's surname was Cao, he was a relative of generals, relatives of Cao Cao and Empress Cao Lan.
This identity is very different, if it is really a serious crime of rebellion...
The problem is really big.
Cheng Yu quickly became excited, and then quickly calmed down.
After thinking about it seriously for a while, he thought about some things, so he ordered the accountant to be taken down and put in jail, and then he decided to bring this news to the palace to meet Guo Peng and ask Guo Peng to judge him.
This matter has gone beyond his scope of authority. After all, the other party is a relative of the emperor. If he does not look at the face of the monk, he will look at the face of the Buddha.
Cheng Yu tidied up and set off for the palace. Just as he reached the gate of the mansion, Cao Cao came.
"Where is Cheng Gong going?"
"Cao Shoufu, you... It's a coincidence that you came here, do you have anything to say?"
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at the memorabilia in Cheng Yu's hand and hesitated for a while.
"Duke Cheng is going to the palace to find His Majesty?"
"Yes."
Cheng Yu didn't hide anything.
"Is it about Zilian?"
"Yes."
Cheng Yu still didn't hide anything.
Cao Cao sighed.
"Can you give me a chance to speak? It doesn't take long, just a stick of incense is enough."
Cheng Yu hesitated for a while, but nodded in consideration of the other party's status as a royal relative.
"can."
"Take a step to speak."
"it is good."
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu came to the remote small gazebo in Sili Xiaowei's mansion where there were no people there, sat down and faced each other.
"I guess, Chenggong must have got some important information related to Zilian's matter, so he went to the palace to look for His Majesty and tell His Majesty about this, right?"
"That's right, what does Cao Shoufu want to say?"
"Chenggong has worked with Zilian for a long time. Chenggong should know who Zilian is and what kind of courage he has."
Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "People change, I am like this, you are like this, Cao Zilian is like this, everyone will change."
"Yes, people will change, but there are also some temperaments that will not change. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."
"What nature is hard to change? What is Cao Zilian's nature that is so hard to change?"
Cheng Yu stared at Cao Cao.
Chapter 1321 One thousand 230 one Do you want to drag the entire Cao family down to death?
What else could it be?
What kind of nature can Cao Hong have?
Isn't this a well-known thing?
Cao Cao took a deep breath.
"Greedy, Zilian is greedy, Zilian likes money to such an extent that I find it unbelievable. I don't understand why Zilian wants so much money and spends so little. This kind of behavior, let alone Cheng Lord, none of the Cao family can understand."
Cheng Yu nodded.
"It's true. Cao Zilian's greed is rare in the world. Anyway, the old man has never seen such a greedy person. Why, Cao Shoufu, you want to use this to excuse him?"
Cao Cao nodded.
"Those who have no desires and desires are the most scheming people. Those who don't love money, women, food, fine clothing, wine and music, and nothing else are the deepest heroes. People are the scariest, and Zilian is not this kind of person."
What Cao Cao said made sense, and Cheng Yu had to agree.
"You're right, Cao Zilian is indeed not such a person."
"That's right, that's the case, Zilian will never harbor evil intentions, he will not rebel."
"Even if he can't, can't the people around him?"
Cheng Yu sighed: "Cao Shoufu, you still haven't figured it out. The most important thing about this matter is not whether Cao Zilian rebels or not. Whether he wants to rebel or not, this matter will not end so easily."
"I know, so I came to Chenggong, hoping that Chenggong could explain it to His Majesty instead of me."
Cao Cao said slowly, "If Zilian is safe and sound, I will definitely let Zilian return all the land except Luoyang and Yuzhou's ancestral property to the government, and will not keep a single inch privately."
Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Cao in surprise.
"Let's not say that this matter is weird, Cao Shoufu, can you make the decision for Cao Zilian? You have already separated, and you don't belong to the same branch. It is about property, can you make the decision for him?"
"can!"
Cao Cao nodded: "As long as Cheng Gong can tell His Majesty about this, I can make Zi Lian obediently return the land to the government, and never occupy an inch of official land again! Zi Lian will never do such a thing again. "
Cheng Yu pursed his lips and hesitated for a while.
"I will tell His Majesty about this matter, and I will never hide anything."
"Thank you."
"Also, Cao Shoufu, there is one thing you still need to make mental preparations in advance."
Cheng Yu hesitated for a while, and said, "There are quite a few private soldiers and complete sets of ordnance in Cao Zilian's manor, this is a fact that has been ascertained.
Once the local investigation is carried out, a large amount of ordnance will be seized from his manor. I can't predict what will happen at that time. Anyway, His Majesty will know. "
