Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 119 A Big Misunderstanding (Second Update of Chapter 4000)
"Uncle, you are back."

Seeing Xi Zhong, Zhou Feng quickly stood up and said with a low eyebrow.

In this era, once a woman is married, she is a relative, even if his mother and his nephew are no longer considered dramatists.

Therefore Zhou Feng and his mother can only be regarded as living under the roof of the opera family, and sometimes they have to watch the faces of the opera family members, especially when they see Xi Zhong, the head of the family, they must be more careful and not dare to mess around.

"Um……"

Xi Zhong only glanced at him indifferently, then walked towards the inner courtyard without any pretense.

He didn't have any objection to Zhou Feng and his mother, after all, she was his own younger sister, and now she came here in trouble, so it's not a problem to raise them.

He just couldn't see Zhou Feng.

Especially last time under the strong request of his mother, he was forced to recommend Zhou Feng to Boss Cao to be the Dubo of the Duan Army.

In the end, he only went out to do something, and when he came back, he got the news that Zhou Feng was temporarily sent home. This made him feel ashamed in front of Boss Cao, and he even looked down on Zhou Feng.

Although Boss Cao kept saying that it was not because Zhou Feng was incapable or made any mistakes, but that he was not suitable for continuing to serve in the Huren Army due to physical reasons. With such a big face, I don't even want to mention this worthless nephew.

What physical reason?
It's nothing more than lazy and spineless, others can go to the grave, why can't you?

Even if it is because of my audacity to recommend you to the envoy, and to take a little care of my face with the actor, you still have to win over me.

Useless things!

This is great, I am afraid that Shi Jun will not only look down on you, but also look down on the children of dramatists, it is extremely annoying!
So come to the inner courtyard.

Long before that, some servants rushed in to deliver the message, and now the whole family ran out to greet them, and they all showed joy when they saw Xi Zhong, as if it was Chinese New Year.

"Mother."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with everyone, Xi Zhong immediately came to an old lady who was over [-] years old, held her hand and gave a respectful cry.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back with An Ran."

Although the old lady is old, her eyes are not cloudy yet. While looking up and down Xi Zhong tidying his clothes, she nodded repeatedly and said with red eyes, "Zhicai, I heard that you won the battle with the envoy in Xuzhou. This time You have made a great contribution again, and you have given our playwrights face, and your father will be very pleased if he knows it, okay, okay!"

"Mother, son spurs himself all day long, not seeking to be successful in the past, but not to embarrass the playwright ancestors."

Xi Zhong lowered his head slightly and said, but his face was full of arrogance that was different from ordinary people.

"Good! Good!"

The old lady looked at her son happily, and after a while raised her head to look at the rest of the family members and servants gathered here, but frowned slightly and reprimanded, "What are you still doing here, hurry up and prepare Delicious food and drink to serve Zhicai, he has been away for several months and now he is tanned and thin, so after finally returning home, should he continue to endure hardships?"

"Yes!"

All the family members and servants hurriedly retreated.

At this time, the old lady looked at Xi Zhong with distress and said: "Zhicai, it's late autumn now, why are you only wearing a pair of single pants, come, follow me into the house to keep warm, fortunately, I have asked someone to give it to you in advance." You have prepared clothes for the winter, and I will order someone to bring them to you in a while."

"Thank you mother."

Xi Zhong just let his mother drag him into the house, with a gentle smile on his face all the time, completely different from the seriousness and prudence he had when he was away on an expedition.

When he came to the house in this way, the old lady asked him many things.

However, it mainly revolves around daily trivial matters such as eating, resting, keeping warm, and treatment during the expedition, and does not concern the military.

Xi Zhong, on the other hand, occasionally answered a few sentences, and at other times, he held his mother's hand and listened quietly with a smile on his face.

What a warm picture of a loving mother and filial son.

But as she talked, for some unknown reason, my mother finally talked about the person who didn't want to mention it at all, and even felt ashamed when she heard it.

"Zhicai, you already know about Qiwen (Zhou Feng's characters)?"

the old lady asked.

"I know."

Xi Zhong nodded, not concealing his displeasure, gritted his teeth and scolded, "This son is not good enough, I listened to what my mother said and boldly recommended him to the envoy, but he is so unable to support the wall, not only is he being looked down upon by others, It also caused damage to the actor's reputation. If it wasn't for the sake of my mother and sister, I would definitely drive him out of the actor's house. I don't care if he died of starvation or was beaten to death. Take a look at him!"

"Don't be angry with Zhicai. I have asked about this matter carefully, but I can't blame Qiwen."

The old lady smiled and patted Xizhong's hand, comforting him while saying.

"How can you not blame him? Could it be that someone tied him up and prevented him from doing things..."

Xi Zhong said angrily.

It is too inconvenient to say more words.

But after saying this, Xi Zhong has realized that there seems to be some information gap between him and his mother, so that although he said the same thing, the content of what he said is slightly wrong.

"Mother, is there something hidden in this matter?"

Xi Zhong immediately paused, frowned slightly and asked the old lady.

"It's just that Qi Wen had little experience when he first entered the military camp. He wanted to show his talents conscientiously, but he was framed and schemed by someone if he was careless. That's why he ended up in such a situation."

The old lady said bitterly, "The one who is really hateful is the person who framed Qiwen!"

"Originally, Qiwen followed the army and completed the task of the envoy, and he had already made great contributions. He could be rewarded by the envoy when he came back. How did he know that there was a shameless slave in the army who designed to frame him in order to climb up. But the army at that time Hou was also a foolish person, and he easily believed the words of slavery, so he imprisoned Qiwen, a meritorious person, and sent him to the envoy to deal with."

"Qiwen also hopes to meet Shi Jun in person to confront him, and ask Shi Jun to be the master for him. However, Shi Jun never saw him, so he was dismissed and sent home. Instead, he reused that shameless slave..."

"Oh, people's hearts are not old, really people's hearts are not old."

"This……"

Hearing what his mother said, Xi Zhong was immediately stunned.

When the Huan army came back, he had never met Zhou Feng before, but Boss Cao told him that Zhou Feng claimed that he could not enter the cold place because of his health, so he was not suitable to continue serving in the Huan army, so he had been temporarily sent away. go home.

At that time, he only hated Zhou Feng for not being successful, but he never expected that there would be such a hidden secret in this matter.

However, the mother's remarks are obviously the words of Zhou Feng's family, so they can't be trusted.

If Zhou Feng was afraid of being punished by the playwright when he returned home, he made up such a story with nonsense, and he would be humiliating himself if he acted rashly.

Think about it for a moment.

Xi Zhong finally looked at the old lady, and said: "Mother, although my playwright seldom has bad relations with others, I am definitely not someone who can be bullied if anyone wants to. But it’s not as simple as harming Qiwen alone, it’s tantamount to slandering the actor’s reputation, I will definitely ask the envoy for an explanation on this matter, and rectify the actor’s name!”

"Of course, my drama family will not suffer such humiliation!"

The old lady nodded and said.

"Mother, sit down for a while. This matter has yet to be verified. I will call Qiwen here and listen to him talk about what happened at that time, and then it will not be too late to make a judgment!"

Xi Zhong got up and said.

……

Zhou Feng is naturally lying.

When he was dismissed and sent home, he was terrified.

He knows Xi Zhicai's temper, if he teaches Xi Zhicai what he did in the Turen Army, or the Xi family knows, even if it's easy, he will be kicked out of the Xi family, and he will never communicate with each other ever since.

If so, his good days will come to an end...

The scene when his family suffered a catastrophe and fled with his mother is still vivid in his memory. If he is separated from the protection of the playwright, he will have no one to rely on and will return to the life of no fixed place and nowhere to live. Starving to death by the roadside is nothing new.

Therefore, he must find a way to save himself.

So on the way back, he made up a story about being framed.

In this story, Wu Liang and Zhou Feng switched positions.

Wu Liang became the villain who encouraged others to steal gold to frame Zhou Feng, while Zhou Feng became the innocent victim who was framed and robbed of credit.

As for the details.

As the planner of that incident, Zhou Feng only needs to make a slight change to adapt the whole story seamlessly, which sounds just like the real thing.

So when I got home, I told my big mother (Xi Zhicai's mother, equivalent to my grandmother) the story I made up.

Grandmother really believed it.

While comforting him, the old lady kept saying that when uncle came back, she would definitely seek justice for him.

Originally, before Xi Zhicai came back, Zhou Feng was still a little flustered, always ready to punish him as soon as Xi Zhicai came back, and he immediately used this set of rhetoric to blame himself.

It turned out that Xi Zhicai just entered the door and just gave him a glare.

Could it be... Uncle still doesn't know about the Huan army?

Impossible, my uncle is the military advisor that Shi Jun trusts the most, and Shi Jun has almost nothing to say to him, so how could he hide this matter?

Where does he know.

Because Boss Cao relied heavily on Xi Zhicai, he didn't want to hurt Xi Zhicai's face because of this trivial matter, so he had already concealed it for him... It was really superfluous for him to cover up the matter so much, it was completely guilty of guilt.

Just when Zhou Feng was feeling uneasy.

A servant searched around in the courtyard, quickly came to him and saluted, "Young master, the master told you to go to the big mother's room."

"understood."

Zhou Feng's heart tightened, knowing that this matter could not be avoided, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

……

After a moment.

"Um……"

After carefully listening to Zhou Feng's narration in his mind thousands of times, Xi Zhong didn't find any suspicious loopholes in it, and finally let out a deep nasal voice.

So he pondered for a moment.

"You said that this person is called Wu Liang, and now he is Sima of the Huan army?"

Cao Renjun is Boss Cao's secret, so Xi Zhong usually doesn't ask too many questions. He only knows that Cao Renjun, Boss Cao's nephew, is currently in charge of Cao Renjun.

"Exactly."

Zhou Feng replied.

"Do you dare to confront the envoy in front of him?"

Xi Zhong asked again.

"..."

Zhou Feng felt guilty, if this matter was confronted face-to-face, it would definitely be revealed, and it would be a word of "death" if it got too big, but under the circumstances, he had no choice but to refuse, so he could only nod his head and stand upright. Said: "Of course you dare!"

"Okay, let's keep this matter in mind for now, I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Xi Zhong's face was as cold as ice, and he said in a deep tone.

"Uncle, in fact, there is no need to be like this. After this time, I have understood that the officialdom is dangerous, so it doesn't matter if you don't work in this official."

Zhou Feng said hastily again.

"This matter is no longer a matter of whether you will be an official or not, but it is related to the face and reputation of the entire dramatist. How can you let it go so easily!"

Xi Zhong frowned.

"Uncle said so."

Zhou Feng already had a bad premonition, and there were some imperceptible trills at the end of the sentence.

……

Two days later.

Xi Zhong came to Juancheng to report to Boss Cao, and soon heard about Wu Liang's deeds.

Among them, the most talked about thing is Wu Liang's early warning, teaching Boss Cao's family to escape from the tiger's mouth in time, and cleverly saving Cao Shuo's life.

As for other things, they are all related to military affairs. Not many people know the inside story, let alone gossip.

This time, Xi Zhong did not bring Zhou Feng with him.

Anyway, the distance between Juancheng and Yuncheng is not far, and they can go back and forth in a few hours, and if necessary, send someone to call him.

This time Xizhong came to Juancheng, the primary purpose was to rehabilitate Zhou Feng, so as to teach Boss Cao what the slave called "Wu Liang" was, and to rectify the family tradition of the play family!
But before that, Xi Zhong didn't act arbitrarily.

He wanted to learn more about Wu Liang first, not only to know himself and the enemy, but also to have a more accurate judgment on what Zhou Feng said, so as to avoid troubles.

then.

He met Cao Ni who had just come back from Wu Liang's mansion at the gate of Cao's mansion, and was cursing: "I saw through the crack of the door that I was hiding in the backyard, but I dared to tell the servants to say that I was not here and shut me out." ... Well, Wu Youcai, who suffered a thousand knives, I will never forgive you!"

"Lady."

Xi Zhong cupped his hands and saluted.

"It's Uncle Zhicai, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Cao Ni came back to his senses and saw Xi Zhong, and said sweetly in a cute and cute way.

"Thank you for your concern, my son."

Xi Zhong smiled, and then said, "Master, I just heard you mention Wu Youcai, is this Wu Youcai the Sima Wu Liang of the Huren Army?"

"How does Uncle Zhicai know? It's him!"

Cao Ni's well-behaved appearance disappeared instantly, and he scolded through gritted teeth, "This man is not a good man! He is despicable and shameless, scheming, insidious and cunning, and he has never heard a single truth from his mouth. If Uncle Zhicai sees If you encounter this person, you must guard against him, and don't be fooled by him!"

"This……"

Xi Zhong was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Could it be that the young master has some misunderstandings? I heard that he was so clever when I first entered the city that he even saved the second young master's life. How could he be such a person?"

"Uncle Zhicai, why are you also deceived by these appearances?"

Cao Ni continued to scold, "This man knows people, face, but not heart. I thought he was a good man at first, but after meeting him a few times, I realized that he did this just to show off in front of my father, to make meritorious deeds." He was promoted by all means, and he never had any respect for us family members!"
