The case of hiding the corpse in Cao family’s ancestral tomb soon caused a sensation in the entire Gusu City!

The fact that the Cao family buried young boys and girls with the deceased was actually quite secretive and was not publicly announced.

Insiders like Wang Yazi only knew that the Cao family used two boys and girls to be buried with the deceased, and had no idea that the Cao family actually used eight boys and girls.

Moreover, in order to arrange the so-called blessing and prosperity feng shui array, these boys and girls had neither coffins nor new burial clothes, but were still wearing the clothes they wore when they were alive.

This also makes it easier for family members to identify the remains.

The black lines wrapped around the corpse were actually red lines. These red lines were used to tie the corpse to the wooden stake so that the corpse could maintain a humble kneeling posture and guard the coffin in the middle.

Xie Xiu deliberately had the news spread, and the people were naturally outraged when they heard about it.

The Cao family instantly became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.

Many people were so angry that they even ran to the gate of Cao's house and threw feces.

In the past, because of that article and the incident involving Cao Wanning and her son, although some people hated Cao Xuehai, only a few dared to throw manure at the Cao family's doorstep.

These people would sneak over in the morning before dawn, pour water and leave.

But it's different now.

The corpses of eight boys and girls completely ignited the anger of the people.

Everyone in the Cao family is now in danger and dares not go out.

Many people, including Cao Xuehou, the housekeeper and the gravekeeper, were even taken to the government office to be interrogated about the origins of the corpse.

It would be fine if these corpses were truly a transaction between two parties, but if the origins of the corpses are unknown, it would involve a corpse theft or even a murder case, and the Cao family would have no way of escaping!

However, the young man and his family were able to identify the clothing on one of the corpses, which was irrefutable evidence of the crime!

Moreover, the young man’s son did not die of illness, but suddenly disappeared while playing outside. It is very likely that he was abducted by kidnappers.

The Cao family is suspected of colluding with kidnappers. How can they avoid public outrage?

The letter that the young man took out once again pushed Cao Xuehai and Cao Wanning to the forefront.

Cao Xuehai was originally still in bed recuperating from his illness and was full of resentment. After Cao Xuehou was arrested, Xie Xiu deliberately leaked the news of this letter.

Cao Xuehou's wife and children immediately ran to question Cao Xuehai.

Cao Xuehai naturally did not admit that he had written the letter, but Cao Xuehou's wife still went crazy, screaming and scratching him, leaving several bloody marks on his face.

Cao Xuehai was furious, but the other party was a woman, and also his eldest sister-in-law, and his nephew was trying to take sides. How could he, a sickly scholar, be her match?

In the end, not only was his face scratched with bloody marks, but he was also hit several times by his nephew.

Cao Xuehai's wife ran to help, but her sister-in-law scratched her face until it was covered in blood and a lot of her hair was pulled out.

The other party even pointed at her nose and cursed: "You are such an idiot. For such a hypocritical man who pretends to be noble, you didn't even protect your own daughter, and now you are protecting this loser! You deserve your daughter to refuse to recognize you!"

Although Cao Wanning did not explicitly say that she wanted to sever ties with her parents, her attitude was very cold. Apart from pretending in public, she almost ignored them in private.

How could the Cao family not understand what she meant?

It’s just that family disgrace should not be made public, so this matter was not exposed.

Moreover, Cao Wanning did a very good job of pretending, so even if they told others that Cao Wanning was unfilial, outsiders would not believe it.

Instead, they would think that they were deliberately throwing dirty water on Cao Wanning in order to force her and her son to death.

The article written by Cao Wanning before made the Cao family the target of public criticism.

Many members of the Cao family were very dissatisfied, especially Cao Xuehou's family.

Now Cao Xuehou was arrested by the government because of a letter, and the fact that he buried young boys and girls with him was also exposed. How could Cao Xuehou's wife not hate him?

She knew that Cao Xuehou would not be able to escape this disaster, and she and her children would suffer as well. Naturally, she hated Cao Xuehai's family to the core.

Why would I have any scruples when doing things?

In the past, even if she was dissatisfied, she would not say such words in order to maintain superficial harmony.

Now he doesn't care at all and just wants to stab Cao Xuehai and his wife.

After scolding Cao Xuehai's wife, she scolded Cao Xuehai again: "And you, since you raised such a scourge, now the entire Cao family is going to be killed by you! Are you satisfied?"

At the end, she was so angry that she pulled Cao Xuehai to fight with him.

When the Black Kirin Guards stormed into the Cao family and searched for evidence of Cao's crimes, these people were still fighting.

However, Cao Xuehou's wife was also a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. When she heard that the Black Kirin Guards were coming, her face turned pale instantly and she completely collapsed like a dough.

She knew what Cao Xuehou had done, and she also knew that the Cao family could not withstand scrutiny.

Previously, Cao Xuehou had flattered Luo Zheng and made contributions in eradicating the Zhou Wang faction. She thought that Luo Zheng would not deal with meritorious officials like them, and the Cao family would surely prosper in the future.

Who would have thought that just a few months later, the Cao family would be wiped out!

Cao Xuehou's wife regretted it deeply.

She should have stopped Cao Xuehou. If she had been able to stop Cao Xuehou and prevent him from burying young boys and girls with the deceased, how could the Cao family be in such trouble today?

The Black Kirin Guards searched the Cao family's house from top to bottom and quickly found the treasures hidden by the Cao family, as well as a secret account book.

Cao Xuehou actually colluded with pirates and participated in smuggling!

Not only that, the account book also recorded every penny he gave to the Minister of Personnel of the Cao family!

Even some other officials were bribed by Cao Xuehou.

Now, not only will the Cao family be completely unable to recover, but the Minister of Personnel will also lose his official hat.

Luo Zheng even had an excuse to train sailors and combat piracy and smuggling.

The reason why the Black Kirin Guards broke into the Cao family to search this time was because the housekeeper confessed that Cao Xuehou was smuggling.

Luo Zheng counted the Cao family's assets as quickly as possible, then quickly wrote a memorial and had it sent to the capital at full speed.

When Emperor Taihe learned that the Cao family had buried eight young boys and girls with the deceased and had deliberately poisoned them, including a kidnapped girl from a good family, he was immediately furious!

In his opinion, it was a great sin for the Cao family to poison a good family boy to be buried with him. It was also a great sin to use evil magic to set up an array and let eight boys and girls guard the coffin of the fifth old master of the Cao family!

How big is the ambition of the Cao family to dare to do such a cruel thing?

Today, the Cao family has become a large local family in Gusu, and a minister of the Ministry of Personnel has emerged from the family.

This kind of blessing is not enough, how much greater blessing do the Cao family want?

Do you want to be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister, or do you want to rebel?

Because of the previous incident between the Chen and Jia families, Emperor Taihe was already extremely sensitive, even a little paranoid.

Now that the Cao family has caused such a thing again, how can he not hate them?

Emperor Taihe had a gloomy face and was filled with murderous intent!

When he saw that the Cao family was colluding with pirates, smuggling goods, and bribing officials, he slammed the memorial in his hand heavily on the table!

"Bastard!"
