"Speak carefully..."
Cao Tong reminded him with shame.
Liu Heng said nonchalantly: "There are only three of us here. Could it be possible that the two of you would secretly sue me for failing."
Cao Tong said dumbfounded: "Sometimes your brothers will stabb you in the back..."
Liu Heng looked at Cao Tong in amazement.
Kou Ji glanced at Cao Tong and said to Liu Heng: "Our brothers are not lacking in power and wealth. There is no reason to rely on telling your brothers to be superior. You don't have to be so sensitive.
Cao Tong is just reminding you that there are some things you can't say nonsense outside, just keep them in your heart. "
Cao Yu nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes... In this Bianjing city, there are quite a few people stepping on the shoulders of relatives and friends."
Liu Heng snorted and said nothing.
He knew that Cao Tong reminded him that it was for his own good.
But what Cao Tong said was too awkward, and he felt uncomfortable listening to him.
Kou Ji shook his head and changed the subject: "I guessed that the young government superintendent would be a prisoner. Corruption and bribery became a common practice, but I didn't expect so many forces to be involved in it."
When Liu Heng heard Kou Ji mention the business, his expression relaxed a lot. He stared at Kou Ji and asked: "Before you didn't know how deep the water was in the Ministry of Engineering, you only asked to go to the Ministry of Engineering. Now you know that the water in the Ministry of Engineering is so deep. Should I find a way to quit?"
Cao Tong nodded and said, "Li Xiang and Wang Xiang have a good relationship with you. If you tell them, it is not difficult to change to the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of Criminal Affairs."
Kou Ji glanced at the two of them, and laughed aloud: "I didn't go to the Ministry of Industry to investigate corruption and bribery. What's the matter with me no matter how deep the water is inside?"
Cao Tong and Liu Heng looked stunned.
Cao Tong suspiciously said: "Are you not planning to seize power from the young mansion and become the second prisoner?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I originally had this idea, but after listening to you, I don't plan to fight for power with them."
Liu Heng curled his lips and said, "Then why are you going to the Ministry of Engineering? Do you care for the elderly?"
Cao Yu reminded Kou Ji in a deep voice: "My uncle said that in the Manchu dynasty, civil and military, anyone can provide for the elderly, but you can't."
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "The Ministry of Industry also has the right to build."
Cao Yu smiled bitterly: "What's the use of having the right to build? Everything the court needs to build is given to the Shaofu, who will be the second prisoner. Anything you want to build must be divided from them.
Isn't that a power grab
Will they allow it? "
Kou Ji said seriously: "I have my own ideas."
Seeing Kou Ji's firm attitude, Cao Yi sighed and said no more.
Liu Heng pondered for a long time and said to Kou Ji: "Since Brother Si, you have to go to the Ministry of Engineering, I will not stop it. Then, Brother Si, if you have anything to help, just speak up."
After a pause, Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said: "If you really want to fight for power with the Shaofu and Jiang as the second prisoner, I will also support you. No matter how powerful and powerful the two prisoners are, I will be with you Brother Si, you break into it."
Cao Tong hesitated, then nodded.
After nodding, he said: "My Cao family has been in charge of the jailer, and my sixth uncle has been in charge of it. At that point, I will go to my sixth uncle and ask him to take the person out of the jailer."
Kou Ji felt warm when he heard what the two said.
"Four brother, there is still something I need to deal with in the closed pile library. I'll take a step first."
Liu Heng stood up suddenly, arched his hands, and prepared to leave.
Cao Tong was stunned, somewhat puzzled.
But he didn't ask for it, but got up and arched his hands, also preparing to leave.
Kou Ji didn't keep the two of them, and let them leave Kou's Mansion.
Out of the gate of Kou Mansion.
Cao Yu quickly caught up with Liu Heng and asked, "On the way to Kou’s Mansion, did you tell me that you have a lot to say to Brother Kou? Why in the end, you didn’t say a word, but instead asked Anxious to leave?"
Liu Heng asked without turning his head: "What are you talking about? What else can you say? The fourth brother insists on going to the Ministry of Engineering, but the two of us can't stop us, so we can only let him go."
Cao Yu sighed and said, "Although I don't know what Brother Kou insists on going to the Ministry of Industry's yamen, I believe that with Brother Kou's ability, he will definitely make a difference when he arrives at the Ministry of Industry's yamen."
Liu Heng paused, turned his head, and asked: "The Ministry of Engineering has no power at all. What can you do? You said the Ministry of Engineering is so terrible. Even if the fourth brother wants to do something in the Ministry of Engineering, he will do The head was broken and bloody."
Cao Tong opened his hands and said, "Is there any way, he insisted on going, I persuaded, but did not persuade him."
Cao Tong stared at Liu Heng and said, "You also persuaded, but you didn't persuade you."
Liu Heng gritted his teeth and stomped his feet severely.
"I only hate you for my low official position, and I can't help the fourth brother. Seeing him go to the quagmire of the skipping department."
Cao Yu sighed helplessly.
Liu Heng stared, looked at Cao Tong, and said, "I'm going to go back and beg my father so that he can find a way to help me get promoted."
Cao Tong stared at Liu Heng in astonishment.
Liu Heng continued: "As long as the power in my hand is large enough, when the fourth brother needs help, I can do more. If I can sit in a position like Wang Xiang and Li Xiang.
What kind of shit is the government supervisor, who will be the prisoner, and all those who refuse to accept it will be killed. "
Cao Yu shook his head with a wry smile. He felt that Liu Heng was wishful thinking.
Both of them were of martial arts origin, and with the help of Kou Ji, they barely got into the ranks of civil servants, but the shadow of martial arts behind them had always followed them.
As long as they carry the identity of Wu Xun on their backs, they don't want to serve as a political affair for participating in the political affairs of the Communist Party of China, or a Pingzhang affair for the scholars of Tongzhong.
These two positions are naturally unrelated to the two of them.
Liu Hengke no matter what Cao Tong was thinking, he stared at Cao Tong and asked, "Your Cao family's background is much richer than my Liu family. You should be promoted easier than me. You are not going to be promoted and help a bunch of brothers?"
Cao Yu said in a dubious voice: "Put your two close friends together, I've had a bloody mold for eight lifetimes."
Liu Heng's eyes widened in vain.
Cao Yu said helplessly: "I will talk to my dad when I go back."
Liu Heng hummed twice, and said without embarrassment: "I will allow you to call my fourth brother the fourth brother in the future."
Cao Qi said in amazement, "Isn't it different to call Brother Kou?"
Liu Heng said disdainfully: "Of course it's not the same."
Cao Yu said in a loss: "After a long time of trouble, I have been with you for more than two years. You two have never regarded me as a close brother?"
Liu Heng questioned: "For the sake of our two unrelated brothers, do you dare to confront the family?"
Cao Tong looked stunned and could not speak.
Liu Heng hummed: "I can, and so can the fourth brother."
Cao Tong gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
Liu Heng stared at Cao Tong and said, "I hope you can do it in the future. Because you will be brothers with us in the future, brothers who are closer than your own brothers."
Cao Yu raised his head with a complicated expression, and said quietly: "Do I have to thank you, thank you for exalting me?"
Liu Heng lifted his head up with a cocky face.
Cao Qi sipped contemptuously.
Liu Heng said, "Tomorrow, take the 20,000 guan of money from your Cao Mansion and send it to the Vientiane Building."
Cao Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still have to pay for co-authoring?"
Liu Heng said arrogantly: "You don't have to give it. The members of the Vientiane Tower naturally can't break it to you."
Cao Yu's eyes widened in vain, "You guys from the Vientiane Tower, who are making money every day, are you willing to break it for me?"
Cao Tong is not surprised.
In more than two years, the Vientiane Tower has developed into a giant.
Today's Vientiane Tower has faintly become the No. 1 mall in Bianjing.
Many people want to sell precious things, the first choice is Vientiane House.
Because Vientiane House has sold the imperial belongings in the palace.
It was also the royal objects in those palaces, which suddenly pushed the name of Vientiane Tower to the top.
It is said that the daily commission drawn by Vientiane House now exceeds Wanguan.
Had it not been for the two big mountains standing behind the Vientiane Tower, I am afraid that the dregs of the Vientiane Tower would have been swallowed by the dignitaries of Bianjing City long ago.
Many shopping malls in Bianjing City have abandoned their old betting rules and are learning from Wanxianglou.
But even so, there is still no boxing field that can surpass Vientiane House.
Vientiane Tower is like a golden mountain.
Now that Liu Heng wants to give him a dime of Jinshan, how can he not be surprised.
Liu Heng said indifferently: "Since you are my brother, you naturally have to occupy some members in the Vientiane Tower. Between brothers, there are blessings and difficulties, which is not empty talk for me."
"I need to go back home and think about it."
Cao Tong saw Jinshan in front of him, but did not readily agree.
He was not dazzled by money.
Liu Heng fulfilled his promise of blessed sharing.
Then Cao Tong can't be vague when it comes to fulfilling the promise that is difficult.
If his Cao Yan is just a family of one person, he will agree to Liu Heng without hesitation.
But there is a Cao family behind him.
Since he is a child of the Cao family, many things cannot be decided by him easily.
He must think clearly about who he will help and whom he will help when there is a huge conflict between the interests of the Cao family and the interests of his brothers.
"Give you three days..."
Liu Heng stared at Cao Tong and said seriously.
Cao Tong nodded stiffly.
Liu Heng clasped his fists and left.
Cao Yu walked to the house in despair.
He actually didn't feel much about the fact that Liu Heng and Kou Ji had not cited him as their best brothers.
Among the several generals in Bianjing City, in their daily exchanges, they also put their interests first.
He has become accustomed to the friendly relationship with the word of interest.
In the face of interests, things like family relationships and friendships are often torn to pieces.
Therefore, he will never show off his true feelings when interacting with anyone.
But he didn't expect that when others interacted with him, he would show his true feelings.
Now that he ran into two different kinds of Kou Ji and Liu Heng, he suddenly didn't know how to deal with it.
If he were to be someone else, he would definitely not hesitate to treat them as fools, and then pretend to associate with them, squeeze out their money and use value, and then kick them away.
After all, the other Wuxun's children in Bianjing City did this.
He did this in the past.
But when faced with Liu Heng and Kou Ji, he couldn't do that.
He did not want!
Can't!
Not willing!
No, because he really likes the feeling of being with Kou Ji and Liu Heng.
No, because neither Kou Ji nor Liu Heng are fools. Even far smarter than him, no matter how much he disguised himself, he couldn't hide the eyes of Kou Ji and Liu Heng.
Unwilling, because he didn't want to destroy their current harmonious relationship.
"what's happenin?"
When Cao Yu entered the Cao Mansion with his head down, he ran into his father Cao Qi.
Cao Qi saw that Cao Yu was on his mind at a glance, so he asked.
Cao Yu looked up, saw Cao Qi, and hesitated: "Father... I'm very embarrassed..."
Cao Qi was taken aback.
Cao Tu is his son, and he also came out with his own hands. He knows Cao Tu far more than Cao Tu himself.
Since childhood, Cao Tong has been very decisive in handling everything, and has never encountered anything embarrassing.
Even if he did anything outside that harmed the mansion's interests or the man's face, after returning to the mansion, he would tell him decisively.
But today's performance is significantly different from before.
What did he encounter that affect his mind
"Go back to the room and say."
Cao Qi gave an order and led Cao Tong back to his study.
Cao Tong entered the study, stared at Cao Qi, and seriously told Cao Qi of the doubts he encountered.
After hearing what Cao Tong said, Cao Qi was silent for a long time.
Then he let out a long sigh.
"housekeeper?"
Cao Qi shouted three times, and the butler appeared at the entrance of the study.
Cao Qi said: "Go to the account room and pay 20,000 yuan to Yi'er."
The butler hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Is it our fifth house's private treasury, or the Cao family's big treasury?"
"Private library!"
"Hey..."
Cao Tong stared at Cao Qi in amazement, and said, "Father, what are you doing?"
Cao Qi stared at him without speaking.
Cao Tong hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, are you going to let me use false feelings to cheat money from Liu Heng and Kou Ji?"
Cao Qi stared at Cao Tong, sighed, and said, "No... I just helped you, followed your heart and made a choice."
Cao Yu's eyes widened, not understanding the meaning of Cao Qi's words.
Cao Qi stared at his stupid son and explained, "From the moment you hesitate, you have made a choice. According to the way I have given you to do things since childhood, when you encounter this kind of thing, Will not hesitate, let alone embarrassment.
If you hesitate and feel embarrassed, it means that you are biased towards Kou Ji and Liu Heng. "
After Cao Qi's reminder, Cao Tong realized that he had already made a choice.
The outsider's heart was seen through by his father, which made him bow his head in shame.
Cao Qi stared at Cao Tong and said, "You are not ashamed. Not only do you don't need to be ashamed, you should stand up straight with your chest up."
Cao Tong gritted his teeth and said, "But..."
Cao Qi sighed and said, "I have taught you since childhood that you should not have heart-to-heart communication and contact with people, not because I want to prevent you from heart-and-heart communication and contact with people.
But the people outside are all black-hearted.
Contacting our Cao family has more or less various purposes.
I asked you to do this to protect you.
Now that you can meet someone who can cross your heart and your lungs, why should I stop you? "
Cao Tong raised his head and looked at Cao Qi in amazement.
Cao Qi said calmly: "You can meet someone who can cross your heart and lungs, and be happy for your father. But the father must also remind you that one day, the three of you will have a conflict with Cao's mansion, and being a father will not help. you.
Being a father will not only not help you, but will also join your uncle and brother to become your strongest opponent. "
Cao Tong clenched his fists, feeling very uneasy.
Cao Qi laughed in a low voice: "Are you scared?"
Cao Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid!"
Cao Ji smiled and said, "Then one day, you and Weifu will become rivals, what will you do?"
Cao Tong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I don't know..."
Cao Qi's face turned dark, and he yelled angrily: "You unfilial son, get out of here."
Cao Tong knelt down on the ground with a bang, knocked Cao Qi three times, and then hurriedly escaped from the study.
After Cao Qi ran out of the entrance of the study, Cao Qi's anger disappeared, replaced by a smile on his face.
"Hehehe... I thought that among the three generations of the Cao Mansion, none of them were useful. They could only lie on the ancestor's merit book and eat and wait to die. Unexpectedly, there is actually one who is aggressive, who can become a climate, and it is my son... "
"Hahahahahaha..."
"No, I have to find my fourth brother to show off... Hahahaha..."
