Chapter 20 fourth quarter

As soon as Xun Yu left Sikong Mansion, he immediately went to Xu Duwei to hear the latest progress.He promised to let Man Chong do it freely, but he was still not at ease in his heart.Especially when he thought of the emperor's angry expression towards Jia Xu just now, Xun Yu felt a complex guilt in his heart.He came to Xu Duwei in such a hurry, perhaps because he could use many trivial matters to suppress this weak emotion. "The situation in Xudu is now calm and safe." Man Chong reported to Xun Yu word by word, in a normal tone, even with a little regret.After tossing and tossing in the middle of the night, instead of being tired, his eyes were radiant, as if he had participated in a hearty hunt.The intrigue and killing last night were simply fertile food for poisonous flowers.

"Where is the person in charge?" Xun Yu was most concerned about this. "Chong Ji, Wu Shuo, and Wang Fu were put to death, the general Che Qi was imprisoned, and the associates were captured or killed. None of them slipped through the net." "How is Concubine Dong?" Man Chong paused for a rare moment: "Dead." Xun Yu was stunned, and his tone was a little more angry: "She is the concubine of the emperor of Han, and she is pregnant with dragon species, how dare you..." Man Chong said: "It was Dong Cheng who conspired with Wang Fu. He intended to kidnap the imperial concubine and abscond. Our army chased and shot him to death. It is a pity that the imperial concubine was so frightened that her metrorrhagia was so severe that the medicine and stone were useless." Hearing the words "ineffective" Word, Xun Yu's right hand trembled slightly.He stared into Man Chong's eyes and said, "Are you sure it was an accident? Did you hide anything else?"

"The wife of King Hongnong Liu Bian, Mrs. Tang, can be a witness. She witnessed everything." Xun Yu sat back down again.He was skeptical about Man Chong's words, but there was nothing he could do.Whether it is a court position or a subordinate position, Xun Yu is the superior of Man Chong.But Xun Yu knew that the real chief officer of Manchong was in a place called Jing'an Cao, and this Cao was different from other Caos. The highest officer was not called Cao Cao, but the Military Teacher Jijiu. In the entire Cao camp, there was only one military officer offering wine, named Guo Jia.

Man Chong pushed the neatly arranged bamboo slips in front of Xun Yu: "All the confessions of the rebels have been prepared, please take a look at them." Xu Duwei is responsible for the security of Xudu, but has no power to judge.This kind of matter involving high-level rebellion should be managed by Shang Shutai.In Xun Yu's view, this is tantamount to asking Shang Shutai to wipe Xu Duwei's ass.It is conceivable how shocking this news will be after going to court the next day.It takes a lot of effort to rectify the old ministers of the Luoyang family, what needs to be dealt with at the opportunity, and what can be won over to Mr. Cao, you have to spend your time thinking about it, let alone that long-winded old guy Kong Rong .

These things are not difficult, just annoying.What is really difficult is Dong Cheng's handling. If he is a little careless, he will be taken advantage of by the surrounding princes who are eyeing tigers, and they will play the banner of the Qing emperor, and he will be very passive politically. Man Chong seemed to see Xun Yu's embarrassment, and he pushed one of the thin silk books forward again, his movements were as gentle as possible, as if he was reluctant to touch his hands: "This is the specially recorded confession of General Cheqi , It was Yang Xiu who wrote it himself. I believe that the trial of Dong’s case is not due to this person who is not enough to share your worries with Xun Lingjun.”

This can no longer be regarded as a hint.Xun Yu glanced at Man Chong unexpectedly: "I can't see that you have reconciled, and he doesn't hold grudges against you?" "You don't avoid hatred by exposing yourself." Man Chong replied simply. With the identity of Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu's presiding judge can eliminate the dissatisfaction of the Luoyang family to the greatest extent.This is indeed a wonderful arrangement. But Xun Yu knew that the matter behind this was by no means that simple.The Yang family is willing to join hands with the enemy, but also to put Dong Cheng to death. The motive behind this is interesting.Is the Yang family trying to regain the dominance of the Luoyang family, or have they accepted the reality and launched young talents in the family to show favor to Duke Cao in order to preserve the family.These causal entanglements need to be pondered carefully in order to taste the taste.

Xun Yu suddenly thought of a saying.When Yang Biao was imprisoned and tortured by Man Chong, it was rumored that Dong Cheng secretly reported it.Thinking of this, Xun Yu stared at Man Chong, as if he wanted to see some clues from the pockmarks on this man's face.It was only then that Xun Yu realized that there were many currents hidden under the table in Xu You, and they did not flow through such a lofty place as Shangshutai. "Your Majesty will appoint the presiding judge." Xun Yu nodded indifferently.Man Chong heard the word "Your Majesty", and asked curiously: "I heard that Your Majesty is very angry about this matter?" Xun Yu nodded, and the emperor gave the old minister a dragon's saliva. It is unknown how this unprecedented event will be recorded in the history books.

Man Chong tilted his head, grinding his upper and lower molars lightly: "With His Majesty's temperament, it is a rare gaffe." "It's also your Majesty's fault." Xun Yu was unwilling to continue discussing this topic, because it would inevitably involve issues of position and intensify his sense of conflict.Xun Yu stretched out his wide robe sleeves, raised his arm and flicked it twice in the air, indicating that he was leaving.The air in Xu Duwei's place was too gloomy and cold, and after only staying for a while, he felt that his bones were covered with frost.

At this time, Man Chong asked the last question: "Yang Jun deliberately lured our army to turn to Runan. There is no doubt about his participation in the rebellion. How should we deal with it?" By the way, there is this person.Xun Yu pondered for a moment: "Let's not move him for the time being——Xu Du's blood has been shed enough last night." "I also ask Xun Lingjun to show you in detail." Man Chong seemed not satisfied with this answer. "His son Yang Ping's death, I don't see any use in Dong Cheng's plan. He made such an arrangement, he must have other plans - Bo Ning, you already know the answer, why ask me? Could it be Xu Duwei? Do you think that my talents are not enough to serve Duke Cao?"

This sentence was not loud, but it weighed more than a thousand catties. It was obvious that Xun Yu was very dissatisfied with this temptation.Man Chong quickly lowered his head, saying he didn't dare.This Shang Shuling is usually gentle and moist as jade, but occasionally he shows his majesty, but he is a straight-forward Qingfeng, and he can't be called.Even if the heart is as firm as a man's pet, it will be pierced by the sharpness transformed by this gentle jade in an instant. "I will send someone to take these confessions. At that time, there will be a discussion in the temple. Bo Ning, you can rest assured to clean up Xudu City." Xun Yu finished coldly, straightened the twisted ribbon, and walked away.When he walked to the door, Xun Yu suddenly remembered something again, and turned around and asked, "Is it your idea that Zhang Xiu entered the city, or was it Guo Jijiu's design?"

"It's Master Jia Xu." When Man Chong said the name, his facial muscles twitched rarely.Xun Yu didn't know whether it was a kind of respect, fear or both.
