Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 481 Dilemma
Shen Zhezi has never boasted of what everyone expects. Although he has many friends, he also has many enemies.Especially some time ago, the Danyang family was treated so badly, even the entire Danyang Tao family was uprooted, so now that he is walking in the capital, if his son suddenly rushes out of the road and wants to assassinate him for revenge, he will not feel at all. Unexpected.

So whenever he travels, Shen Zhezi is surrounded by many guards, not for the sake of showing off, but purely because there are too many enemies, and God hates ghosts.

As soon as the man rushed into the road, he was thrown down by the rope tied around his neck, and then his hands and feet were captured. After a body search, he was escorted to the front of the bullock cart. The dust is too embarrassing.

Shen Zhezi motioned the guards to lift the beard and hair in front of the man, to see why the old man was so reckless, but when he looked, he saw a face that he had vague impressions but couldn't remember at the moment.

The man was treated so indecently, but there was not much annoyance on his face, but he looked at Shen Zhezi eagerly and said repeatedly: "I should be punished for bumping into the son-in-law! Cao Li of Pengcheng, the son-in-law of Wanqi, please forgive me..."

Hearing this person's self-reported family name, Shen Zhezi finally remembered his identity. It turned out to be the young man from Jiangbei Juntou's family who went through Langya Wang's family and recognized Cao Shuang of the former Wei Dynasty as his ancestor.It's not that he is forgetful, it's just that he sees more children from various families recently, and this young man named Cao Li rarely appears in front of him, so he can't help but forget for a while.

"It turned out to be Cao Nacao's son who joined the army. It's really rude."

Shen Zhezi leaned slightly from the bullock cart, motioned the guards to let go of Cao Li, and invited him to come to him with an apologetic smile: "I remember seeing Cao Lang the other day when I saw off the envoy of Jiyang Yu the day before yesterday, and asked my family to let him go." The order sent you a post. If Cao Lang wants to meet, he can just send a post to the government. How can there be such a misunderstanding, which makes me feel uneasy."

When Cao Li heard this, his face was full of apology and embarrassment. He was captured by the guards of the Shen family, but it was his own fault.At Yu Yin's farewell banquet earlier, he was lucky enough to catch Shen Zhezi's line, but because he was still mainly managing the relationship with the Qingxu family, and the Shen family didn't have any advantages in Jiangbei, so he just sent him off. For the last gift, he didn't strike while the iron was hot and went to Shen's house frequently.

Today, the eagerness to come to see Shen Zhezi is also because of the burial of the old Zhongxing official in the Erling.The ancestor recognized by his family was named Cao Yi, a descendant of Cao Shuang, who was also a celebrity since the Southern Transition to Zhongxing, so it belongs to the category of relocation.And if the burial is to be relocated, another epitaph must be erected, listing the clan affiliation and readings and so on.

It was not easy for their family to ratify this noble relative. Cao Li has also used this identity to socialize in the capital recently, which is very convenient, but there is always suspicion of empty talk.If he takes advantage of the opportunity of Cao Yi's relocation this time to continue his family on the Cao Yi's stele, then his family is the real former Wei clan, the descendants of Cao Shuang, and will not be questioned because of this!
Therefore, Cao Li refused to miss this opportunity.His family's biggest activity in the capital is the Taishan Yang family's Yangben. In order to seize the thigh of Yangben, Cao Lizhen gave up all his family's wealth for good.Therefore, such an important matter is related to the future of his family. Naturally, Cao Li went to Yang Ben to discuss it as soon as possible, hoping that Yang Ben could help him again.

But this time, Yang Ben changed his previous attitude and avoided seeing Cao Li, saying that it was inconvenient for him to treat guests because he was obedient.

Upon receiving this answer, Cao Li almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!Not long ago, this kid was drinking and drinking with him, letting loose, so why didn't he say that he was in obedience at that time?

It's not that Cao Li couldn't understand the change in Yang Ben's attitude.After more than half a year of contact, he has a thorough understanding of the tempers of the children of these aristocratic families. He is the first to enjoy pleasure and the second to be ashamed, but he is timid to take responsibility and has no sense of responsibility.

Earlier, Yang Ben could get a lot of money from him and make friends with him as long as he moved his lips. Naturally, the conversation was very happy.But now that he wanted to erect a monument as evidence, Yang Ben felt apprehensive and didn't want to stand out again.In addition, his family has already ruled a large county, and Yang Ben himself is getting better and better, so he doesn't want to cause this trouble for himself.

Although Cao Li hated it deeply, but now is not the time to settle old scores, the most urgent thing is to finalize this matter as soon as possible.If his family can't leave their name on the tombstone of Cao Yixin's tomb, then all the efforts and investment in the past will become a joke, and no one will take this matter seriously again!

He came to turn on the cold stove only when the matter was critical, and this cold stove was only left out by him, but it was very popular in the capital, and it was extremely prestigious.So no matter how rude the guards of the Shen family were to him, Cao Li dared not complain.

"Today you dare to offend and bump into the concubine's chariot. I am so grateful!"

Cao Li dusted off the dust on his body, and he had to tidy up before he dared to step forward. He tidied up his thoughts and said: "In the early years, I was living in the Huaihe River, and I couldn't support the ancestor Yigong. I felt ashamed. Duo Meng Gao Yi, the ancestors of the family were able to move to the side of the second ancestor's mausoleum and enjoyed the sorrow, I am really grateful, I don't know how to repay it!"

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he waved his hands and said, "You don't have to thank me. The reason why I say this is because I feel that the sages of ZTE have supported the tripod industry in Jiangdong. The old bones should not be lost in the grass. Excuse me. If you have this intention, since it is not for your family, you don't need to be thanked. Since the support is already lacking, you might as well go home and prepare for a good burial, so as to live up to your ancestors."

After finishing speaking, Shen Zhezi was about to order the car to drive away.When Cao Li saw this, he became impatient. Of course he wanted to go home and prepare for a reburial, but the problem was that he couldn't intervene!His greatest reliance is Yang Ben and Wang Biaozhi, and now Yang Ben avoids him, and Wang Biaozhi lies paralyzed in the countryside, his family's red mouth and white teeth move forward, who do people recognize him as?

"My son-in-law, please stay!"

Cao Li couldn't just sit back and watch the only chance to miss, he gritted his teeth, and made a final effort even if he offended, strode forward and grabbed the rein of the bull and said to Shen Zhezi: "I don't know how to repay my great kindness, I would like to be a pawn !"

How could Shen Zhezi not know what Cao Li was up to.After pondering for a while, he simply said directly: "You don't have to act like this, I'm going to Shen Yuan to congratulate people on this matter, if you want to go, get in the car and come along."

After Cao Li heard the words, he was already ecstatic. He took advantage of the opportunity to get into the car but didn't go inside. He sat next to the driver's seat and said with a smile on his face: "The description is unsightly, so I don't dare to touch it."

Seeing Cao Li's humble attitude, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh.If you don't live in this era, it's really hard to understand the meaning of family status.He is no stranger to this Cao family. He is also the leader of the army in Guangling, Jiangbei. He is a brave general and has thousands of soldiers.

This person flatters him so much, it should be because he made a mistake in pretending to be a relative of the Cao family.Shen Zhezi pondered for a while, and he could probably figure out the mystery.Shen Zhezi didn't have much dislike for this kind of impersonation of his ancestors. His family is just a little experienced, otherwise he might not know how to do it.Nowadays, this cannot even be said to be a shortcut to success, but an indispensable condition for success.

But Cao Li obviously followed the path of the Qingxu family, and Shen Zhezi would not intervene casually until he knew the inside story.

That Cao Li was sitting in the seat of the emperor, and he couldn't help but compliment Shen Zhezi: "This initiative by the son-in-law is of great benefit to the world and a great comfort to people. He is humble and not talented, and he admires him in his heart, but he is too timid to be self-deprecating. , dare not recommend it bravely. But if the son-in-law is useful, he will do the work of a dog and a horse, and dare not say anything."

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he just smiled and didn't speak. To be honest, he is neither short of people nor money. He is really lazy to respond to Cao Li's self-recommendation without knowing the details.

Because Shen Zhezi's silence made the atmosphere a bit awkward, Cao Li couldn't help but feel a little anxious. After weighing it for a while, he decided to speak more bluntly: "My family lives in Huaitu, and the old relatives are indeed far away. There are so many people who don't know, it's inevitable that they will have some light discussions on the matter of returning to the sect, and it's really hard to defend yourself..."

"Ha, I remember what you said. There are many elders in the family who discussed friendship with Yigong in the capital in the early years, but I have never heard Yigong mention this festival."

When Cao Li heard this, he couldn't help being dumbfounded. The reason why he dared to approach Shen Zhezi was because he remembered that the son-in-law treated Yu Yin at the farewell banquet in a kind and protective manner.Unexpectedly, times have changed, and the attitude is different now.

"This, this... In fact, in fact, this matter is not without traces. Langya King Shuhu and Taishan Yangshiyong can all testify to this."

Under the turmoil, Cao Li has been hiding his words.

"Ah."

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he just responded casually and didn't make any further statements. It's okay for Wang Biaozhi and Yang Ben to bluff others, but they are two farts in front of him.However, this Cao Li is really lacking in ability. He has been in the capital for so long, but he still only manages this little chain of evidence, and it seems that even this meager evidence seems to be problematic.

Shen Zhezi's indifferent attitude made Cao Li's heart sink to the bottom.Of course, his family started as a military leader, even if they didn't recognize this noble relative in the past, the foundation of the family would not be shaken.But the problem is, for this matter, the price his family has paid is really too high, and even the future business of the family business will revolve around this, which is too big to afford the loss, and it is impossible to give up halfway.

If this thing cannot be accomplished, the expected return will not be obtained, and at the same time, the vitality will be greatly damaged, and it will also become a laughing stock.If the impact is worse, it is likely to cause the overturn of the family business.And Cao Li, a specific runner, has no place to stand in Jiangdong!

"I beg my son-in-law to live with me! If I can't return to the clan this time, I will live without a face!"

Seeing that Shen Yuan was getting closer, Cao Li finally made up his mind, turned over from the position of the emperor and knelt in front of Shen Zhezi, begging.

"It's okay to help you, I heard that your father is currently seeking to be the Prime Minister of Guangling?"
