Kou Ji really didn't do anything, he was telling the truth.
But Cao Wei didn't believe him.
Among the people on this expedition, no one knows him better than Cao Wei.
When Kou Ji secretly planned to raise the Criminal Division, he was involved in the whole process.
Cao Wei knows how much Kou Ji has, how bold he is.
Seeing Cao Wei still staring at him suspiciously, Kou Ji said dejectedly: "I really didn't do anything."
"Cough cough cough... It has nothing to do with them, it's just the old man who was not careful."
Lint slowly appeared outside the room with the help of the old servant.
Cao Wei saw Lin Te come out, hurriedly greeted him, and asked, "Jian Lin, are you okay?"
Cao Wei didn't really care about Lint, he wished Lint died quickly.
But Lint is now in his army, if Lint has a good or bad, the civil servants in the court will definitely bite him, saying that he has murdered Lint.
So he had to pretend to be very concerned.
Lint shook his head and said faintly: "My old man is okay..."
"What's okay?"
After the imperial doctor cleans his hands, he walked out of the room and hummed: "It's a big trouble..."
The eyes of Cao Wei, Lin Te, Kou Ji, Yang Wenguang and others fell on the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor curled his lips and said: "When a person is old, he has to surrender. The body is weak and he is still marching with the soldiers. He is struggling all the way and his internal organs are about to shift.
He fell into the ditch again, and his half-life was gone.
If I return to Beijing now, I will live a good life, maybe I can live for another year or a half.
If you continue to go north with the army, the old man advises you to prepare the coffin. "
Cao Wei and Kou Ji were shocked when they heard this.
Cao Wei hurriedly said: "So serious?"
The doctor nodded lightly.
Linte stared at Cao Wei, stared at the royal doctor, and snorted coldly: "You two are acting in front of the old man? Want to persuade the old man to go back?"
Cao Wei looked embarrassed.
The imperial doctor sipped Lint and said disdainfully: "The old man needs to act with others? When the first emperor's fate was not long ago, the old man also bluntly spoke to the first emperor."
After the imperial doctor sprayed Lint, he said angrily to Cao Wei: "If the old man watched the children go to battle, no one would be treated in time, and his life would be lost, and the old man would not want to follow you as a doctor in the army.
In the future, there will be people who don't know good or bad, don't look for the old man.
Let them wait to die.
The old man has this time to pick up the blisters on the feet of the dolls who are accompanying the army, which is better than this. "
After the imperial doctor scolded him, he seemed to be uncomfortable, so he glared at Lint and spit.
Then he shook his sleeves and left the station.
Cao Wei and Lin Te were left behind, staring at each other.
Lint wanted to curse, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say anything.
This time, the doctor who accompanied the army was the one who gave out the ancestral snow silkworm when Zhao Heng was seriously ill to help Zhao Heng extend his life.
The old man helped Zhao Heng continue his life. Not only did he receive a lot of rewards, he also received a golden plaque similar to a gold medal for avoiding death.
The old man had a bad temper, but since he had the golden plaque, his temper has gotten worse.
Who is to be scolded.
Unfortunately, no one dared to offend him.
In case of a serious illness that day, when he is dying, he needs the help of the old man to continue his life. If the old man is stubborn and ignores you, then you will be cold.
After a few people were silent for a while.
Cao Wei stared at Kou Ji and Yang Wenguang with a black face, and reprimanded: "You two..."
Lint's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "The old man said, the old man's body has made a mistake and it has nothing to do with them."
Cao Wei said stiffly: "If they hadn't taken care of you, you wouldn't be..."
Lint waved his hand and said, "No matter what they do..."
Linte set his eyes on Kou Ji, sighed, and said, "Boy, you won."
Kou Ji looked blank.
Lin Te said to Cao Wei: "Writing to Bianjing City, asking them to send another supervising army over, and the old man is going back to Beijing."
Cao Wei and Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
But I felt incredible in my heart.
They think that Linte retired a little bit happy, will there be other tricks
however.
Until they sent Lint on the return journey, they didn't see any abnormal behavior of Lint.
Linte didn't want to delay the marching speed, so at noon that day, he asked the old servant to take the servant of the Lin Mansion and make a slide bar, and lift him back to the city of Bianjing.
Cao Wei originally wanted to keep Lint in the inn to recuperate, but Lint was unwilling to live or die.
He said that even if he was going to die, he would die in Bianjing.
If it is court grace, he still wants to be buried with the first emperor.
Cao Wei failed to keep Lin Te, so he sent a team of soldiers to escort Lin Te back to Bianjing.
After Lint left.
Kou Ji and Yang Wenguang continued to escort them to Zhending Mansion.
It went back for another four days.
There was another person beside Kou Ji, an assistant named Zhang Yuan.
When Kou Ji saw him, he was like a savage, covered with weeds.
When he saw Kou Ji, the first sentence was shocking.
"Lint died... by the Bianshui River..."
Kou Ji stared at him without speaking, and glanced outside the door.
Zhang Yuan ran to the door of the room with interest, looked around, closed the door, and returned to Kou Ji, whispering: "No one is paying attention here."
Kou Ji stared at Zhang Yuan and said faintly: "You took three sets of money from the mansion, bought a few hoes, and bought some eggs. Then you dug a lot of pits on the official road, threw a lot of rocks, Lint's carriage went all the way from Bianjing to Zhengzhou.
Later, you secretly feed Lint's horse to eat eggs, and when Lint's horse is used to eating eggs, you give up feeding it eggs.
Instead, egg white was smeared on the flowers and plants on the edge of the ditch.
It is precisely because of this that Lint’s horse fell in love with the flowers and plants on the edge of the ditch and threw Lint into the ditch. "
Zhang Yuan was taken aback, looked at Kou Ji with a stiff expression, and whispered: "Young Master sends someone to follow the villain?"
Zhang Yuan raised his head slightly, glanced at Kou Ji without a trace, and said, "Young master can't believe the villain?"
Kou Ji snorted coldly and said, "I didn't believe you, nor did I send anyone to follow you. It's just that you showed off your feet when you did something, and you were almost caught."
Zhang Yuan was startled, and asked, "Where is the little man showing his feet?"
Kou Ji took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and threw it to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan unfolded the handkerchief, and saw a section of grass stalk that had been yellowed inside the handkerchief. The grass stalk was stuck with some egg whites, which had dried up and stuck to the grass stalks and the handkerchief.
Zhang Yuan saw the grass stem, his face changed again and again.
Kou Ji said coldly: "Since some things have been done, you should clean up the beginning and the end. It is easy to be targeted by people who do not clean the beginning and the end like you."
Zhang Yuan originally wanted to claim credit in front of Kou Ji, but now that he sees this thing, he no longer has the arrogance to claim credit.
He knelt on the ground on one knee and solemnly said: "The villain deserves to die..."
Kou Ji stared at him, put away his cold tone, and said faintly: "You should be glad that you are cautious enough to do things, leaving only such a tail, and I caught it in time.
If you leave too many heads and tails, you are now a dead person. "
Zhang Yuan clasped his fist and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for not killing."
Kou Ji put away his cold tone, curled his legs on the bed, and asked: "Didn't the doctor say that the old man Lin can live for a year or a half? Why did he die?"
Zhang Yuan dropped his hand, stood up, stood hunched in front of Kou Ji, and said in a low voice: "After Lin Te left the inn, the villain followed them all the way. After they arrived in Zhengzhou, Lin Te began to vomit blood.
The servants of the Lin Mansion found a few local doctors in Zhengzhou to treat Lint, and those doctors had nothing to do with Lint's illness.
The servants of the Lin Mansion could only speed up their journey, and seemed to be planning to go to Bianjing City as soon as possible to seek medical treatment from the royal doctor in Bianjing City.
It was just that Lint was not taken care of when he was on the road, and Lint contracted the wind chill again.
When Lin Te was approaching Bianjing, he died of illness on the banks of the Bian River. "
Kou Ji faintly said: "I thought Lint could escape, but I didn't expect that I didn't take his life, but the sky did."
After Kou Ji talked to himself, his eyes fell on Zhang Yuan, and he asked: "Lint, you didn't make any more moves on the way back to Beijing, right?"
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "You have instructed not to allow Linte to appear in Zhending Mansion alive, but never said that he is not allowed to return to Bianjing City alive, so the villain did not do anything on his way back."
Kou Ji nodded slowly when he heard the words.
He instructed Zhang Yuan: "The guy who led me with the donkey hit the Universiade, was taken by Yang Wenguang, and was admitted to the army. He planned to make him a jumper.
Now I am the one who leads the donkey, so you are responsible for the donkey for me. "
Without waiting for Zhang Yuan to speak, Kou Ji smiled and said: "The donkey I rode doesn't eat those weird things."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan's expression changed, and he knelt down on the ground again, and said in a deep voice: "The little man will never dare to do anything to your donkey, Young Master."
Kou Ji waved his hand, "Forgive you for not dare, go on."
Zhang Yuan got up, opened his mouth, and still talked. It can be seen that Kou Ji swallowed the words from his throat without hearing his intention to continue.
After Zhang Yuan went down.
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and said calmly: "Finally, one less trouble..."
"Kang Dang..."
Just as Kou Ji was talking to himself, his door was knocked open from the outside.
Just as Kou Ji was about to scold him, he saw Cao Wei walk into the room with a gloomy face.
Kou Ji looked at Cao Wei unexpectedly.
Cao Wei whispered: "Lint is dead!"
Kou Ji pretended to be surprised: "Lint is dead?"
Cao Wei nodded heavily and said, "Someone came from Bianjing and said that Lint died on the banks of the Bian River."
Kou Ji pretended to ponder for a while, and asked: "What is the reaction of the princes in the court?"
Cao Wei frowned, and said in a low voice: "No response..."
Kou Ji stunned and said: "That's why you threw away the army overnight and came after me to find me?"
Cao Wei nodded and said: "If the princes in the court point to the nose and scold us, complaining that we did not take care of Lint, it is not terrible. The terrible thing is that they did not react at all."
Kou Ji thought about it a little bit: "Perhaps the princes in the DPRK had the intention of impeaching us, but my grandfather stopped them. After all, at this time, military affairs are the most important."
Cao Wei nodded slowly and whispered: "I hope so..."
When the voice fell, Cao Wei bowed to Kou Ji deeply.
Kou Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped out of the bed, walked to Cao Wei, helped Cao Wei, and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Cao Wei said seriously: "I should thank you, old man."
Kou Ji dragged Cao Wei's arm and said with a laugh: "I didn't do anything. Why are you thanking me?"
Cao Wei solemnly said: "There are some things that can't be declared, but the old man will remember your friendship."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and roughly understood the meaning of Cao Wei's words.
Although Cao Wei found nothing, Lint suddenly fell into the ditch and suddenly returned to Beijing.
Cao Wei determined that these things must be related to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't say a word, and dragged Cao Wei.
After Cao Wei got up, he said again: "The new prison army will arrive in six days. Although the old man does not know who it is, he is definitely better than Lint. If the old man encounters a war that the supervision army cannot intervene, he will inevitably ask you to take action. , Restrict one or two."
Kou Ji said dumbfoundedly: "You are asking me to restrict people, obviously you want us to restrict each other."
Cao Wei laughed awkwardly.
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Although your thoughts make me a little unhappy, I have written down your instructions. Anyway, I don't understand military affairs, and if I intervene in military affairs indiscriminately, I will definitely cause you a lot of trouble. It's better to do nothing.
However, if you have established merits, I will inevitably share the profit. "
Cao Wei was happy when he heard this, "If you want it, just take it. With my Cao family's status today, so much merit will only cause misfortune.
But don't forget, just remember the merits of the soldiers. "
Kou Ji grinned, "That's it."
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
"..."
The two held each other's fists, and Cao Wei left Kou Ji's bedroom.
He has to rush back to the army to lead the troops.
The reason why he braved the frost and rushed to Kou Ji overnight was to tell Kou Ji Linte's death.
Lint is dead.
For the lieutenants, there is no impact at all.
But as far as Cao Wei and Kou Ji are concerned, there will be some impact.
Cao Wei told Kou Ji the news as soon as possible, just to vaguely remind Kou Ji that if Lint's affairs are really related to him, let him quickly clean up the head and tail to avoid being caught.
In addition, Cao Wei's trip has another purpose, that is, to ask Kou Ji to take action to restrict the supervising army sent by the court later.
If it weren't for these two important things, it wouldn't be guilty to let Cao Wei drop one hundred thousand soldiers and horses one by one, and rush to find Kou Ji overnight.
A few days later.
Without Lint's carriage dragged, and without Lint following, Yang Wenguang let go of his hands and feet and began to march in a hurry.
Kou Ji had to urge Zhang Yuan, leading the donkey in a hurry.
A few days in a row.
When the first heavy snowfall in winter fell, the group rushed to the outside of Zhending Mansion.
Yang Wenguang left five thousand soldiers, controlled by Kou Ji, set up camps outside the city, guarding the grain and grass.
He himself led the remaining five thousand soldiers, braved the heavy snow, and returned along the official road to clear the snow on the road, so that the army that followed could reach Zhending Mansion unimpeded.
