The eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand and said with a messy face: "When did you die? Why didn't you notify the court?"
The servant was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so he could only burst into tears.
Eunuch Zhang said with a gloomy look on his face: "Little Marquis is only eighteen years old, how could he die?"
After hesitating for a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Go back and report to the officials."
When Uncle Fu came out, they had disappeared. He couldn't help but run back and pulled Cao Bin up from the coffin and said, "Master, it's broken!"
Cao Bin was sleeping comfortably and asked very unhappily: "What's wrong?"
Uncle Fu said: "The eunuch from the palace just came. We won't commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, right?"
Cao Bin waved his hand and said indifferently:
"We haven't officially informed the court? How can we deceive the emperor? I am avoiding the bloody disaster. The officials can't call me the last daughter of the Cao family."
"Besides, who doesn't have time to die? I just moved my funeral forward."
With that said, he didn't care about Uncle Fu's nagging, lay down directly and said: "Put the lid on me, I'll sleep for a while."
Uncle Fu was speechless for a moment. Who has ever seen an early funeral? He really couldn't understand his young master's mind.
At this time, the disciples of various generals had gathered at the Si Yamen in front of the palace. Gao Qiu looked at the people in the hall, frowned and said:
"This encirclement and suppression of the Hu family is of great importance. Are everyone here?"
Below, Gao, Zheng, Yang, Pan and other disciples have been waiting for a long time.
Some people look excited, while others look sad.
Especially the female generals of the Yang family, who have always been on good terms with the Hu family, would really not be willing to participate in this action if it were not for the strict decree of the court.
Moreover, two members of the Hu family were leading troops outside, and they needed to be captured and brought to justice personally.
For some people, this is an opportunity for promotion and meritorious service, but for the Yang family, this is the killing of Zhongliang.
The official in front of the palace immediately said: "Report to the Taiwei, Cao Bin from the Cao family has not arrived."
Gao Qiu was furious when he heard this and said:
"He has important responsibilities for this operation, why hasn't he arrived yet? Could it be that he colluded with the Hu family to rebel?"
At this time, he was a little happy in his heart. He was about to cause trouble for Cao Bin, but he didn't expect that he would commit suicide. He couldn't blame himself.
Hearing Gao Qiu's words, Mu Guiying and Yang Bajie, who were standing in the Yang family's team, were also surprised.
Unexpectedly, the playboy of the Cao family actually dared to disobey the imperial edict.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little admired and ashamed.
In terms of relationships, my Yang family and Hu family have the best relationship.
But when the imperial edict arrived, even they did not have the courage to disobey the edict for the sake of Hu family.
At this time, they couldn't help but look at Cao Bin with admiration.
In the past, they had always thought that Cao Bin was just a useless second-generation ancestor who would only rely on his family's achievements to show off his power and do evil everywhere.
Now the Cao family is even wearing a pair of trousers with the traitorous Prime Minister Pang Ji, and they are conspiring together.
A few days ago, when they heard that he was going to be guillotined to death by Master Bao, they had shouted in joy.
Mu Guiying and Yang Bamei looked at each other and saw some guilt in each other's eyes.
The others were also very surprised and didn't know what Cao Bin was doing.
Just when Gao Qiu was about to order the arrest, a eunuch hurriedly walked in and said:
"In order to avoid the bloody disaster, Mr. Cao Xiaohou is organizing a funeral for himself, so he can't come. The officials have ordered Gao Taiwei to arrange the house raid at his discretion."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately confused, and Pan Bao even asked:
"Eunuch Zhang, what does it mean to have a funeral for yourself?"
Eunuch Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Just treat yourself as dead and give yourself a funeral, right?"
Pan Bao said speechlessly: "Is this okay?"
Eunuch Zhang nodded and said with some emotion:
"Mr. Cao Xiaohou is a little unlucky these days. It's a murder case and it's an assassin. Maybe he's scared."
Mu Guiying and Sister Yang looked at each other again, and both saw the speechlessness in the other's eyes.
My guilt was in vain. It turned out that I was afraid of death.
I have never heard of such a weird thing in my life. Cao Bin has done all the absurd things in the world.
When Gao Qiu heard this explanation, he was a little speechless. He didn't expect that the officials didn't pursue the matter, so he could only press on for the time being and continue:
"Then let's do it this way, Hun Tianhou, and I'll leave Cao Bin's task to you. What do you think?"
Mu Guiying was awarded the title of Huntianhou for her military merits. When she heard Gao Qiu call her name, she felt very depressed and wanted to take Cao Bin out of the coffin.
The problem is that she never wants to be the one to do it.
Not to mention the relationship between the Hu and Yang families, even the encirclement and suppression of Zhongliang would cause too much damage to her reputation, and she was unwilling to bring infamy for the Yang family.
So, Mu Guiying said: "Gao Taiwei should send someone else, my Yang family is not qualified for the job."
Although Gao Qiu held a very high position and was the deputy commander of the Palace Front Division, he did not dare to offend the military nobles easily, so he hesitated and said:
"Since Hun Tianhou is unwilling to accept the mission, then who is willing to recommend himself?"
Fortunately, there are many people who have the same idea as Pang Yu. If they want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, they don't have to worry about no one coming forward.
Then came the seizure of troops and confiscation of homes.
The general of the Hu family had extraordinary martial arts skills and was very brave. He led his own soldiers to fight out of the siege of the imperial army.
If General Hu didn't still have the idea of loyalty to his emperor and didn't want to fight head-on, I'm afraid the court wouldn't be able to defeat them.
Seeing the armies of the Song Dynasty killing each other, Mu Guiying and Yang Bamei regretted their involvement in this muddy water.
But they had no choice. The emperor had already issued an imperial edict. Who dared not to listen?
Among the seven sons and eight tigers of the Yang family, there is also an eighth sister, a loyal sect, and now there is only one widow left, plus Yang Zongbao is a single seedling.
What supports them is loyalty, and it is impossible for them to disobey the imperial edict.
Yang Bamei said with sourness:
"That little bastard Cao Bin is the most hateful. I don't know how he came up with the bastard idea, but he actually got through."
At this time, Cao Bin felt uncomfortable because Pang Ji was competing with him next to the coffin.
"The official has lost his temper and called you ridiculous several times. Even I have suffered from your fault."
"The annihilation of the Hu family was such a good opportunity to make a contribution, but you gave up. It's really disappointing to me."
Cao Bin looked at Master Pang who had a sincere expression on his face and asked, "Did the official punish me?"
Pang Ji said: "Thanks to the Queen's intercession and saying that your Cao family is not in trouble, the official family has calmed down. Otherwise, you will definitely be punished for deceiving the emperor."
When he heard that the emperor had not been punished, Cao Bin was immediately relieved. He did not expect that his sister-in-law, who was the emperor's concubine, was really capable.
Looking at the rising Dandy Points, he couldn't help but smile:
"Thank you so much, empress. I think you are closer to me than my biological sister."
Pang Ji's face softened a little, and he said with a tigerish face: "Then if you still don't come out, are you really going to bury yourself?"
Cao Bin spread his hands and said, "I've settled it with an expert. I can't go out for seven days, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster."
"Master, you don't want your daughter to become a widow at a young age!"
Pang Ji had a look of ecstasy on his face, and said bitterly: "I am a bastard enough, but you are an even bastard than me. I really regret getting engaged to your father."
With that said, he shook his sleeves fiercely and left.
However, Cao Bin didn't care and waved his hands repeatedly: "Hurry up and get started, don't bother anyone."
A group of Taoist monks quickly started chanting.
At this time, the gate of Zhongjing Marquis Mansion was already crowded with people watching the excitement.
Some ignorant people said: "Do you think Cao Bin is really dead?"
The people around him sneered: "Damn it, haven't you heard? Cao dogs are just for fun."
"It's not unlucky for him to live through mourning at such a young age!"
Finally someone guessed:
"I heard that he was unwilling to participate in the Huyan family's case, which is why he did this..."
After hearing this, someone immediately retorted:
"If he really has this kind of intention, it means there is still hope, but you are thinking too much."
"Hey, it's a pity for the Hu family. I heard that even the Zhonglie Yang family went to encircle and suppress them..."
