"General Cao, don't be impulsive, stay calm!" Lu Ze also looked very nervous. After all, with his frail build, trying to stop Cao Tianbao was somewhat beyond his capability. "Today, everyone is here for your birthday celebration, and there are many people both inside and outside the gate, many eyes and many mouths.
We heard it loud and clear, but those outside don't know.
If something really happens, and news spreads, others might say General Cao used his power to bully and drive a merchant to death.
By then, not only you, but even my brothers and I, who are present here, might be accused of being accomplices in persecuting commoners, and we wouldn't be able to defend ourselves!"
These words, if spoken by any of the older princes, might have been awkward to say out loud, but only Lu Ze, the youngest prince, dared to speak so frankly.
Cao Tianbao, hearing this, even though unwilling, couldn't just push Lu Ze and Lu Qing aside and rush over to trouble Zhuang Zhi.
