Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 30 Clanging, Dengwen drums sound again!

Luoyang City, in the North City, in a mansion purchased by the Ding family.

Ding Hui changed into men's clothes, she was smart and unrestrained, she didn't look like a woman at all.

There are ten boxes of gold, silver and jewels behind her, which are all the savings of the Ding family in Luoyang City. If they want more, they have to go to Qiaopei from their hometown, and the time does not allow it.

She opened a box, and a golden light shone on her face.

Behind Xia Houyuan and his wife Ding Xiang rushed over.

"sister in law…"

"elder sister…"

Two very different titles.

When they saw Ding Hui's attire and these boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry, they couldn't help being surprised, Ding Xiang asked urgently. "Sister, what are you?"

"Yuan Rang is Ah Man's clan brother, and also your husband's clan brother. Even if I can't find Ah Man, I can't let him die in vain. He will be beheaded at noon. Now, I will go to see Luoyang Ling!"

He said that he was meeting Luoyang Ling, but Ding Hui's meaning was obvious enough. Where was meeting, he was clearly bribing Luoyang Ling, Sima Fang!
Take ten boxes of gold and silver in exchange for Xiahou Dun's life!

"Sister can't go!" Ding Xiang exclaimed in shock, "Sima Fang is a clean and honest official and never accepts bribes, let alone in the current situation, what if... what if Sima Fang punishes his sister-in-law for bribery again? "

"You can't just do nothing, right?" Ding Hui's tone was firm. "Could it be that when Yuan Rang is beheaded tomorrow, we will just watch?"

"Sister-in-law, even if you want to go, you should let me go!" Xia Houyuan interjected, "It was my fault that Yuan Rang was arrested. Even if it was a punishment, I should go! In this case, at least... at least it won't implicate the Ding family." .”

Xia Houyuan is known as "Shang Yi's strange man". Not only did he commit murder for Cao Cao with "righteousness", but even when his family was poor, he would rather abandon his youngest son and support his deceased brother's orphan girl!
He must go to any matter of narrow escape!

Ding Hui's voice was choked with sobs, but her tone became more determined. "Sima Fang is the recommender of Ah Man's official career. I am Ah Man's wife. I must go. No one can replace me!"

Xia Houyuan stared blankly at the resolute cold light released from Ding Hui's eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you are right. Right now we can't stand still. Brother is gone, so... we can only save ourselves. If sister-in-law is going, let me follow. The people of the Cao and Xiahou clans are not soft-boned!"

"My husband is going, then I... I will go too!" Ding Xiang also added.

"Even me." Liu Chun, who was sorting out those boxes, also said something. "As the servant girl of the young lady and the concubine of the husband, there must be something to do!"

Ding Hui looked at the more resolute gazes of the people in the courtyard, clenched her teeth, and was about to leave...with a sudden heart attack.

Never thought.

at this time…

——"Boom, boom, boom!"

——"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the sky above Luoyang City, the "deafening" sound of beating drums resounded again.

This…

Ding Hui raised her eyes, her complexion sank subconsciously.

But Ding Xiang opened his mouth and said: "But in just three days, someone beat the Dengwen drum again!"

...

...

Outside the Luoyang Command Office, there were heavy guards, and there were many swords, spears, swords and halberds, and the atmosphere was dignified.

In the opposite alley, hidden Xia Houyuan and Ding Hui, Ding Xiang, Liu Chun and others in men's clothing, ten carts of gold, silver and jewels were all tied to the carriage.

The gate of the government office opened, and Xiahou Dun, who was escorted to the execution ground, walked out first. He was tied behind his back and showed no signs of being whipped.

There is a command arrow stuck in the back, on which is written in blood-red cinnabar - "offend Xiahou Dun, behead"!
The one who came out after that was Sima Fang, the commander of Luoyang...

Besides him, there are many other officials who came out of the official office, some Ding Hui knew, such as Wei Wei Yangqiu, Taifu Yuan Kui, Sikong Yuan Feng, Emperor Master Yang Ci, Taiwei Yang Biao!
Who would have thought that Xiahou Dun, who was just asking to be beheaded, would actually come with so many leading figures among the world's top wealthy families.

Ding Xiang looked worried: "Sister? There are so many people, how can you bribe?"

"Follow up, find a way to tell Sima Fang on the way, take a step to talk!"

"But?"

"But what?"

Ding Xiang looked sad. "Could it be that Sima Fang predicted that his sister would bribe in advance, so he hired so many officials just to prevent...prevent..."

With these words blurted out, Ding Hui's heart skipped a beat...

She clenched her fist slightly, and after a brief moment of pondering, there was a little more determination in her eyes. "If there is something wrong with Yuan Rang, Meng De will be uneasy for the rest of his life! Now, he can only travel to the mountain knowing that there are tigers!"

While talking, Ding Hui planned to go out and find a way to sneak into Sima Fang's side. Xia Houyuan also took a big step, he wanted to get ahead of his sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, suddenly...Xia Houyuan was patted on the shoulder.

He was taken aback by his nervousness, and subconsciously pulled out the saber from his waist.

Unexpectedly, a voice came one after another.

"You guys dare to openly bribe Luoyang Ling, how brave you are!"

"Your Excellency?" Xia Houyuan glared angrily, and pulled out his wrist, looking as if he was facing an enemy.

"I, Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo! Meng De asked me to come!"

The visitor quickly explained.

This sentence blurted out, and the atmosphere here suddenly eased down.

"Husband? Did you come here?"

Ding Hui asked anxiously...

Xun Yu narrowed his eyes, "It seems that the girl is the courageous wife Meng De mentioned all the time. Meng De was worried that Madam would do something stupid, so he specially asked me to wait here, as expected!"

Ding Hui said angrily: "Then, just watch Yuan Rang being taken to the execution ground like this? Did you ask to be executed at noon? He... he was involved!"

"Madam, don't you want to know where your husband is?" Xun Yu asked back.

what…

Ding Hui stopped in shock. "Ah Man? Where is Ah Man?"

"Come with me!" Xun Yu beckoned, but his eyes turned to the ten carts of gold and silver. "Send these back first, it will ruin Mengde's plan!"

"Plan?" The more she listened... the more Ding Hui felt confused.

call…

Xun Yu nodded, and exhaled lightly. "After all, at the suggestion of his 'Brother Yu', Mengde once again sounded the Dengwen drum! Things will turn around!"

Dengwen Drum!
Huo…

Ding Hui, Liu Chun, Ding Xiang, and Xia Houyuan were all taken aback by these words.

Just now...

Was that sonorous "Dengwen Drum" played by Ah Man again?

...

...

A wooden platform has been set up on the execution ground, and a blood-stained wooden stake is placed in the middle.

Two executioners carried broadswords on their shoulders, standing on the left and right, surrounded by heavy soldiers.

On the opposite side of the wooden platform was a curtain, under the curtain was the public case, which was the seat of Sima Fang, the commander of Luoyang, and there were many officials sitting on both sides, each with a very serious expression.

at this time…

A group of officers and soldiers escorted Xiahou Dun through the disturbance and into the execution ground.

Countless melon-eating people saw him approaching from a distance, and backed away in fear, making way for him.

In the whispers of the melon-eating people, Xiahou Dun had already been framed on the execution platform, and the three officers and soldiers worked together to push him down to his knees.

Xiahou Dun yelled with cold eyes.

"Come on, give me a knife, and if I yell, I am not worthy of being the son of the Xiahou family!"

at this time…

Sima Fang had already stood still under the tent, while Yang Biao took a step closer to him and whispered. "In three days, the Dengwen drum was sounded twice. What kind of case is it? Mr. Sima Fu is going to try it on this execution ground?"

call…

Sima Fang breathed out lightly, stroked his beard slightly, he pondered for a moment, and finally uttered a faint sentence.

——"If this case is not tried in public, there will be a big mess!"
