Chapter 1272
You can doubt the character of the various tribes of Blackwater, but there is no need to doubt the intelligence files they produced, because they rely on these things for food and life.
So when Cao Guobang opened the copper bar with trembling hands, the result was already doomed. All the sophistry appeared so dispensable in the black and white words on the copper bar, and all emotions gathered on his face and eyes .
His face was pale and his eyes panicked.
"You, you." Cao Guobang squeezed the copper bar tightly, looked up at Shen Hao and said the first word loudly, and then seemed to be afraid of something, the voice behind it weakened all of a sudden, the last sentence I can't say enough.
It's not that I have nothing to say, but I don't know where to start.
There is a word called "ashamed to speak". It couldn't be more suitable to use it on Cao Guobang right now.
Cao Guobang, who was born in a family, accepted the old learning inherited from the Jingjiu Dynasty from the previous dynasty, and the new learning of the same weight that the Jingjiu Dynasty himself raised later. Both kinds of learning have a crucial word: morality.
People in the old Jing Dynasty respected "morality" and believed that it was the foundation of being a human being and standing in the world, and it was the bottom line that both monks and ordinary people needed and must abide by.
An immoral person is not worthy of respect and trust, nor is he a popular person.
In the temple, morality is the primary criterion for judging a person.
In the market, morality is the basic basis for distinguishing whether a person is good or bad.
Of course, these are just lip service. In fact, there are too few people who can be virtuous everywhere. It’s normal for everyone to have some flaws. It’s okay to have a dark heart as long as you don’t take action. announced.
Including such scandalous things as ashes picking, if you are quiet, no one will know, you will do it if you do it, and the thick-skinned ones will even secretly laugh in your heart and be proud of it.
But filth is always filth, it cannot be seen in the light, nor can it be put on the table. Just like Cao Guobang now, he felt that he was standing naked in front of Shen Hao, the shame and resentment almost filled his chest and overflowed to his throat, making him open his mouth to say, to justify, But in the end, I didn't know how to start.
It was red, then blue, and then pale. Shen Hao, who was sitting drinking tea across from the change in expression, almost grinned to his ears.
Funny, really funny.
Shen Hao suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of comfort to vent his anger, and it was interesting to see the left minister who was supposed to be aloof and restless in front of him.
After sighing for a while, the business is still important, so Shen Hao smiled and comforted: "Mr. Cao, don't be so surprised, the Black Flag Camp is set up by Xuan Qingwei, and Xuan Qingwei has the duty of monitoring the world. The "everyday" in our life may be "special" in our eyes, and the people below will always be a little restless, so they will come up with some weird news from time to time.
But Mr. Cao, please rest assured, those doctors who know the background of the two young masters and young ladies have been taken down by our people, and now they have been sent overnight to the yamen of the commander of the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City. There is also no right to interrogate and contact them, so there is absolutely no risk of news leaking.
Hehe, as for our Black Flag Camp, our tone has always been tight, so Prime Minister Cao can rest assured. "
The seemingly well-intentioned consolation almost made Cao Guobang so angry that he jumped up and scolded his mother.
He keeps saying "don't be surprised", but isn't it you, Mr. Shen, who brought this matter to light?
To put it nicely, it is to control the key tongue so that the news will not leak out, but isn't this preventing all the possibility of redemption? Why is this not holding the handle?
The anger ignited in the bottom of his heart, as well as the emotions that gradually came to his senses, made Cao Guobang take a deep breath, took a big sip from the teacup that was half spilled, and then put it down heavily.
There was a bang, as if Cao Guobang was reminding himself to cheer up, not to be confused by the fright, the hungry wolf in front of him might jump at him and bite off his throat at any time.
"Master Shen, as you said, the words of this place don't catch the ears of the six ears. If you have something to say, just say it directly. I, Cao Guobang, am not a sour person with old bones. It's better to be straightforward."
Cao Guobang understood that things were unexpectedly bad, but he was not in despair. After all, the series of actions of the surnamed Shen showed that he was not going to make it public, so he had asked for something else. Ask clearly first, and see what this hungry wolf has taken a fancy to on him.
The smile on Shen Hao's face has been restrained a lot, because always smiling brightly would be a little too complacent, and it is really not good for Cao Guobang's face. Hearing Cao Guobang's words, he said sternly: "Mr. Cao is quick to speak, and I have always admired you. So this time, I have processed the information obtained by the people below. Not only has it cut off the outside world's possible doubts about you, Mr. Cao, but also the insiders of our Black Flag Camp. I also issued a punishment order. I will never let this matter spread.
Hehe, in fact, Prime Minister Cao now holds the top spot in the temple, and he has always been a noble person who wants to get closer to the black flag camp. However, he often suffers from the bad reputation of the Black Flag Camp and has no chance to listen to the training in front of Prime Minister Cao. This time he also came here abruptly, just to form a good relationship with Cao. "
Cao Guobang's face turned darker. In his opinion, the more Shen said that, the more ambitious he was. He waved his hand, sighed and said, "Master Shen, do you mean to capture me, Cao Guobang, and use it for your Black Flag Camp?"
It is impossible for money, and it is impossible for power. Because there is no shortage of the former Black Flag Battalion, and the latter is not something Cao Guobang is capable of affording. Xuanqingwei is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials, it is a self-contained system that relies on the emperor for food.
Not for money, not for power, it is for people. Cao Guobang could figure out that he was the only person who could still be favored by the Black Flag Camp, and the post of Jingjiu Chao Zuoxiang under his ass.
Shen Hao didn't expect Cao Guobang to be so upright and react so quickly, halfway through his words, the other party guessed his intention. This saves a lot of tongue.
"Ms. Cao is serious. The Black Flag Camp is just eyes and ears. At most, there are one or two spikes used to pierce abscesses. Other things have no ability or ambition. Curiosity is just the daily life of the world, and what I care about is this temple. The news of intertwined light and dark. Cao Xiangda can take the presumptuous invitation of the next official this time as a "good fate". You give the Black Flag Camp what they want to know, and the Black Flag Camp will return you with sincerity and let you Sit tight and have nothing to worry about."
Cao Guobang picked up his teacup and took another sip. He carefully savored the high-sounding words Shen Hao said in his heart, savoring the deeds hidden in them.
After a while, Cao Guobang looked at Shen Hao meaningfully, and asked: "Your Commander Pang Da has always regarded himself as a lonely minister, but I didn't expect you, Mr. Shen, to have a different taste here. You are not afraid of being regarded as a clique for personal gain." hat?"
"No no no, Prime Minister Cao misunderstood. The Black Flag Camp has never formed a clique, let alone selfishness. It is just a "good relationship" with you. If you think this statement is inappropriate, you can change it, um, for example, "each take Required"?"
