In the evening of that day, Cao Binggang finished discussing military affairs with Taijun She and others, and took Lu Junyi and Yan Qing back to their temporary residence.
I saw Hu Sanniang holding a puppy and teasing her, but the strange thing was that the puppy had a pair of delicate antlers tied to its head.
Cao Bin was stunned and asked:
“Where did this dog come from?”
Hu Sanniang smiled and said:
"I don't know, it came to our house on its own, and I don't know who was so bored that he tied antlers to the dog's head."
"But the size is quite suitable and it's quite fun."
Cao Bin's expression turned a bit bad and he cursed:
"Damn it, who is so wicked? Using something like this to frame me?"
Lu Junyi asked quickly:
"Master Hou, is there any problem?"
In this era, things such as visions and auspiciousness are most taboo. Once rumors of auspiciousness appearing in one's home spread out, the emperor may be afraid.
Even if the emperor believes in himself, he will be attacked and impeached by his courtiers.
No one cares what the truth is.
Cao Bin carefully weighed it for a long time and felt that it was not the fault of his colleagues.
Although he now leads troops as commander, he is still far away from the peak of power, so he should not be afraid of being framed by them.
But this kind of sophisticated method does not look like the style of the Liao people...
Hu Sanniang also noticed something was wrong and quickly said:
"Master Marquis, don't you like dogs? I'll throw it out right now."
Before Lu Junyi could figure it out, Yan Qing had already become serious and said:
"Master Hou, this is no small matter and needs to be handled with caution."
As he spoke, he quietly explained to Lu Junyi the dangers of this matter.
When Lu Junyi heard this, he couldn't help being shocked. The Song Dynasty was originally founded by Taizu's rebellion, and he had always been very afraid of the generals who led the troops.
If this kind of auspicious thing appears in Cao Bin's family, if it is not handled well, disaster will be imminent.
Especially since Cao Bin had just shown his prominence and showed his invincible martial arts, he became even more sensitive.
So he quickly came up with an idea:
"Master Marquis, why not block the news immediately and stop the spread of rumors."
Cao Bin shook his head and said:
"Since someone wants to use this method to frame me, why would I let me block the news?"
"Even if there is no news in the house, someone will add fuel to the fire."
"The more you cover up this kind of thing, the harder it is to be kind."
At this time, he was not troubled by the solution, but by speculating on this new enemy.
Seeing that Cao Bin was not in a hurry, Yan Qing said anxiously:
"As the saying goes, public opinion makes gold, but accumulation destroys bones. The Marquis still needs to make a decisive decision. Once this matter is allowed to expand, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lu Junyi's future, his wealth and life all depend on Cao Bin, and he is also worried that something will happen to Cao Bin.
Hu Sanniang was also frightened, threw the puppy to the ground, and said without tears:
"Master Hou, I didn't know it was so serious!"
Only then did Cao Bin come back to his senses, waved his hands and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter, this is just a small plan. I have already prepared a countermeasure. You don't have to be so afraid."
To be honest, the consequences of this matter are not as serious as Yan Qing said.
The impact will be certain, but it is not life-threatening.
The biggest accident it caused was just to add more stains to Cao Bin's body. His right to lead troops was questioned, and he lost the hope of reaching the pinnacle of power in the future.
"Time changes!"
Seeing that everyone around him was timid, Cao Bin did not hesitate and immediately gave orders.
"Master Marquis, I'm here, what are your orders?"
After Shi Qian followed Cao Bin, he never compromised on his demands.
After roughly hearing about the concealment techniques of later generations, I have worked hard to study them, and now I have become even more elusive.
Lu Junyi felt a little chilled when he saw a "little skinny man" appearing out of nowhere.
I thought to myself, there are indeed strange people around the Marquis.
Regardless of his superb martial arts skills, if this person wanted to kill him, he would probably be decapitated in his sleep.
When Cao Bin saw Shi Qian coming out, he directly ordered:
"Tonight, you lead the 'Swallows' to sneak into the homes of Kou Zhun, Pan Renmei, the Yang family and the generals."
"Bring out some visions such as dog horns and colorful lights, and immediately spread rumors."
Thinking that literati are best at using this method to harm people, he also ordered:
"Especially Kou Zhun, you should take good care of him!"
"Give him more auspiciousness and say he is the Emperor of Heaven descending to earth!"
When Lu Junyi and others heard this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
This method was a bit beyond their expectations.
This time there is auspiciousness in everyone's home, no one can blame anyone.
Even if Kou Zhun is a bit unlucky, he didn't recruit anyone and caused such a big trouble. I don't know if he can escape.
If I hear rumors tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death.
Yan Qing showed a look of awe on his face and cautiously praised:
"The Marquis is really resourceful. In this way, he can not only confuse the public."
"It can also transfer conflicts. It's really a double blessing."
He has always been smart and mature, but at this time he was frightened by Cao Bin's "black heart".
This prince, I am afraid that even if he dug out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, none of them would be red.
Lu Junyi also felt emotional. He didn't expect that the officialdom could be so dangerous. Such a trivial matter could almost lead to a catastrophe.
If Yan Qing hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have understood it until now.
He became more determined to follow Cao Bin closely. If he had no one to protect him and stepped into the court rashly, he might even die without knowing how.
In this environment, what if you have amazing martial arts skills?
If the court says to kill you, then kill you. Even if you die, no one will cry out for you.
Before the next day, that night, rumors were already flying in Zhending City.
Some said they saw a colorful dragon in the sky above the emperor's camp, and some said a one-horned unicorn appeared in Kou Zhun's house.
Cao Bin, Pan Renmei, the Yang family, all the officials who could be named in the city, all had varying degrees of auspiciousness in their homes.
Early the next morning, before dawn, ministers were kneeling outside the emperor's camp.
Kou Zhun and Pan Renmei took the lead, their heads covered with cold sweat.
Especially Kou Zhun, he wanted to kill the person who caused this matter with a thousand knives.
Others just paid it back, but they were actually said to be the Emperor of Heaven descending to earth. It was pitiful that they were innocent and strong-willed, yet they were framed like this.
He had never been so frustrated.
Pan Renmei was not far behind. She just woke up early and found an auspicious bird at home.
He was almost frightened to death on the spot. Seeing that everyone came to apologize, he felt a little relieved.
I already scolded the person who caused the trouble thoroughly in my heart.
As a minister, who is not afraid of the emperor’s suspicion?
If the news reaches the imperial court, if you don't resign yourself, you will be impeached by your political opponents.
After the emperor got up, he was frightened by the ministers who were all over the place asking for forgiveness. He thought he had done something ridiculous and was forced to go to the palace by the ministers.
After learning the details, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"This is obviously a plan by the Liao people to alienate our monarchs and ministers. You don't need to take it seriously. I'm not that stupid."
When the ministers heard this, they felt relieved...
After the emperor returned to his house, the Imperial City Secretary reported:
"Your Majesty, we will check this morning and find that auspicious signs have appeared in Zhending Zhizhou's home."
"He did not come to plead guilty, but blocked the news."
When the emperor heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then a dangerous light appeared in his eyes.
Dingzhou City.
Yelv Guanyin slave listened to the report of his subordinates, his face was extremely exciting, and his whole person felt bad.
She never thought that after studying the Great Song Dynasty Hall for more than ten years, she came up with such a clever trick, and that Cao Bin would easily fool her.
This plan failed, and several other similar plans were difficult to implement.
"Cao Bin!"
This defeat only aroused her competitive spirit, her eyes became colder and she ordered her subordinates:
"Go and call Qing Lian and tell her that I have something to ask her..."
Just as she was talking, the secret agent of Zhennan Hospital sent another message. After reading it, she pondered for a long time and said to herself:
"Zhujiazhuang? Can it still be trusted?"
