"Damn, where are you this old beggar? I think you are tired of living!"
The driver was furious. Isn't this a curse?
Chao Cuo was the emperor's mentor. Although he currently sits in the position of the imperial censor, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he must be the future prime minister!
This old beggar actually dares to say in the street that he is Chao Cuo's uncle. Isn't this obviously disgusting?
The coachman really got more and more angry as he thought about it. After cursing, he jumped out of the carriage, waved the riding crop in his hand and was ready to go up and beat someone.
"stop!"
After sticking his head out of the car window and taking a look at the situation outside, Chao Cuo quickly stopped him.
"Master, I have seen this kind of unruly people a lot. I will send him to Tingwei's Mansion later. Of course, there will be officials from Tingwei's Mansion to greet him properly!"
Chao Cuo's driver hurriedly said from the side.
"Get out of my way!"
But what he didn't expect was that Chao Cuo actually took three steps and two steps at a time and jumped off the carriage.
Then, he pushed the coachman aside and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.
"I asked you, old god, why are you doing this? If you come to me for something, can you just find someone to say no?"
Chao Cuo said softly while dusting him off.
Who else could it be, of course the ever-present Zhang Shisan...
"If I want to see you, I have to find someone to tell you. Your reputation is really getting bigger and bigger!"
What Chao Cuo didn't expect was that Zhang Shisan didn't buy it anymore.
Now more and more people were watching. The people in Chang'an City had long ears, so naturally they all gathered around when they saw the excitement.
"You all, please judge me. My own nephew has become a high official and he doesn't even recognize his biological uncle! If I want to see him, I have to find someone to report to him first. You have no conscience!" "
While Zhang Shisan was talking, he wiped the non-existent tears on his face with his dirty sleeves.
Looking at the disdainful eyes of the people around him, Chao Cuo suddenly felt his scalp numb.
"Uncle, my nephew is wrong, my nephew is wrong!"
Chao Cuo smiled bitterly for a while, why did he do this?
If I had known this, I shouldn't have gone out today...
"I said, old god, just spare me this time. What on earth are you going to do?"
While begging for mercy, Chao Cuo approached Zhang Shisan and whispered.
"You bitch, do you know you are wrong now? Look at the beatings your slaves gave me, my stomach is all blue!"
While Zhang Shisan was talking, he actually lifted up his clothes.
The dark skin underneath was exposed, and the corners of Chao Cuo's mouth twitched. With your body like this, you would be in trouble if you could find whip marks.
I don’t know how long it’s been since this old boy took a shower. Anyway, the dirt all over his body is almost as much as his leather armor...
"Uncle, please forgive me. I will take you back home and show your filial piety!"
"What are you guys doing standing still? Why don't you hurry up and help your uncle get in the car!"
Seeing that this old guy was becoming more and more crooked, Chao Cuo didn't know what tricks he was going to play.
But there were really more and more people watching. Chao Cuo couldn't afford to lose this person, so he could only greet his subordinates in a hurry.
Chao Cuo's subordinates don't know what happened, but their master has already spoken, so let's do it.
In desperation, they had no choice but to work together. Five or six people hurriedly stuffed Zhang Shisan into the carriage.
Chao Cuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and ignored the stench on Zhang Shisan's body. He also got into the carriage and ordered the driver to leave quickly.
But even so, the Chang'an people who love to watch the excitement are already satisfied.
Chao Cuo felt a wry smile in his heart. I'm afraid he won't be able to get there. Tomorrow morning, everyone in Chang'an should know that the new imperial censor has a questionable character.
He had to sit in a high official position and ride a horse, but he let his own uncle beg on the street...
In the Han Dynasty, it was no joke to govern the country with filial piety. A person who lacked filial piety was enough to make it difficult for Chao Cuo to be promoted within a few years.
"I said, my ancestor, living ancestor, what exactly do you want to do?"
After the carriage started again, Chao Cuo had a wry smile on his face.
"What? Don't you know what I want to do?"
Zhang Shisan rolled his eyes strangely, then took off the jade gourd from his body and took a few gulps of wine.
"belch--"
After downing half a bottle of strong wine, he burped comfortably.
"Do you have anything to eat in the car? Find me some food to go with the wine. I'm really burning up just drinking!"
Looking at Chao Cuo's dark face, Zhang Shisan said honestly and politely.
"No!"
Chao Cuo glared at him angrily. He really couldn't understand the purpose of this old guy's operation today. Wasn't it obvious that he wanted to destroy himself?
"Nothing? I can smell it! Hand over what you have in your arms to me!"
Zhang Shisan pointed at Chao Cuo's left sleeve while talking.
The corner of Chao Cuo's mouth twitched, but he still angrily took out a pack of dried meat from his left sleeve.
He is a person who doesn't care about anything else when he gets busy, so he often realizes that he is almost fainting from hunger after finishing his work.
In order to prevent the master from starving to death, his wife habitually stuffed a pack of dried meat into his sleeve when he went out.
"Your nose is really clever!"
Seeing Zhang Shisan taking a mouthful of dried meat and a sip of wine, Chao Cuo said angrily.
"You kid, I'm obviously trying to help you, what's your expression? Do you want to sit on the position of prime minister? There is already a stupid boy who is desperate to climb up, why do you want to imitate him? "
Zhang Shisan said angrily while drinking.
Hearing what Zhang Shisan said, Chao Cuo was stunned for a moment. Zhang Shisan obviously meant something!
"Old god, I wonder what you meant by what you just said?"
After thinking for a moment, Chao Cuo blinked and asked Zhang Shisan.
"Don't you understand what it means? Don't you know how you became a doctor? Climbing up is correct, but knowing when to go up and when to come down is the real skill!"
Zhang Shisan rolled his eyes at him angrily, took a few sips of wine again, and then said leisurely.
"You mean, His Majesty intends to let me go further?"
Chao Cuo's eyes widened for a moment. Now he finally understood why the emperor didn't look for Shen Tujia today, but him instead!
