Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 106 Who Did I Offend?Come to cheat me!

that night.

The news that Xu Zhen was raided in the Jinwuwei camp spread like wildfire. The assassins passed the Jinwuwei and directly entered the Jinwuwei camp on the side of the imperial city.

The direct assassination of Xu Zhen is said to have been successful. That night, the main tent of the Jinwu Guard camp was full of blood, and the imperial city was in chaos.

In the middle of the night, Dong Cheng finally got the news, couldn't sleep immediately, and sat up from the bed with a puzzled and panicked expression.

"Who killed him? Yang Biao? Who else? I never sent anyone there!"

"If Xu Bowen is really dead, the blame for this crime must be suspected on my head, bastard, who wants to kill me?!"

Dong Cheng muttered to himself, pacing back and forth on his own, and he had sent out at least three waves of people before, all to find out the current situation.

And inquire about Xu Bowen's current life and death.

According to the rumors that spread, he was already dead, but Cao Cao went to the Jinwu camp in person and blocked the news, not allowing it to be passed on in Xudu.

But now almost the whole inner city knows about it.

The officials in the inner city were all amazed. Some people lamented Dong Cheng's ruthless methods, and some people lamented that Xu Zhen's life was too short-lived.

Now he was assassinated again in his own camp.

Moreover, a group of people rushed into the camp and hacked Xu Zhen to death, because Xu Zhen usually slept during this period of time, and this habit has long been known.

As soon as he arrives, Xu Zhen must sleep peacefully. This is also a matter of his strict self-discipline. After all, he has to get up early in the morning, although he will continue to sleep when he is in office.

It is estimated that he was caught by someone, so he calculated the time and assassinated him directly.

At this moment, in a scholarly quaint house in the inner city, a woman in a green radish dress suddenly ran out of the courtyard, and asked the servant girl in amazement, "Xu Bowen, are you dead?"

"Miss, this is absolutely true. Cao Sikong's guard just reported it."

"Dead?" The woman looked sad, gritted her teeth, and said, "Last time, he said that he would invite me to a banquet for a drink in the future, but he hadn't fulfilled it for a year. For this reason, I rejected many talented people in Hedong and decided to stay in Xudu as a daughter." Doctor, compiled for Sikong."

"I even silently wrote many books for my father and gave them to Sikong as a thank you gift."

This woman is Cai Wenji, since seeing Xu Bowen at a banquet last time, she didn't immediately fall in love with her.

But I just think it's average, so I decided to meet him again, to see his character and talent, and not to draw a conclusion based on his appearance.

As a result, Xu Zhen rejected him nineteen times.

At the end of the new year, Cai Wenji, who is proud and arrogant, is going to block Xu Bowen once, not for anything else, just for this bad breath.

So he was assassinated? !

"I'm afraid the whole inner city knows about this news."

"Today, this gentleman yelled at General Wei in the hall, and then his former General Wei Dian beat General Wei in the school grounds."

"Ah Qing, don't inquire about these things. It is very difficult for us to survive. Don't get involved in any struggle."

Cai Wenji frowned and scolded, she still knew exactly how her father died in Chang'an.

Just because when Dong Zhuo died, his father showed a sad expression, so he was imprisoned and killed. Cai was also driven out, and all the way he sold his property and fled. All the books in the family were robbed by thieves and left behind.

But she somehow got Sikong to guide her to Yanzhou Juancheng halfway, and she survived till now.

However, meeting Xu Bowen by chance was a coincidence, I don't know if it was fate or destiny.

At this time, he finally made up his mind to block him once, but he was assassinated in the end.

This is just a microcosm of the city.

In the entire Xudu, almost everyone responded. Those who cared were naturally anxious, while those who had a grudge against Xu Zhen were naturally happy.

But no matter how much she hated Xu Zhen, she didn't dare to laugh freely at the moment.

For example, Dong Cheng, after hearing the news, walked around the house uncomfortable for a long time, and finally decided to ask Yang Biao to go with him to meet the emperor.

One is to make it clear first, this is not a self-inflicted trap, a guilty conscience.It's Dong's commitment, and this plan may be that Cao Cao wants to take this opportunity to splash dirty water.

Taking advantage of the enmity between Xu Zhen and himself today, he is going to be dragged down, even Xu Zhen who was killed by Cao Cao himself.

This is not impossible, Xu Zhen has saved Cao's life, so Cao Cao will definitely protect him with his life for something like today that offends the courtiers and the emperor.

But if he is proud of his favor and threatens him every time, how can the Cao family protect him without any worries?
What's more, he offended so many people, and slept in the Jinwu camp every day during this period, how could he not be disgusted.

Xu Zhen is a typical person who takes credit and pride, and it is only reasonable for him to be killed by Cao Cao.

And it just so happened that Cao Cao could blame himself for all this, so Dong Cheng had to speak to the emperor first.

After I got home, I kept losing my temper, and then I saw Yang Biao, and then fell asleep peacefully.

It was not until late at night that the news was heard.

These things must be clearly explained to Cao Mengde, or someone must be found to prove his innocence, and Cao Cao must not be allowed to commit crimes.

So at this time, Dong Cheng went to Yang Biao's residence and asked him to enter the palace with him to check the emperor's safety at this time.

The two people's car arrived in front of the imperial city very quickly, and after inspection, they walked into the imperial palace late at night.

Walking on the spacious school grounds, unexpectedly, he bumped into Cao Cao head-on, "Dong Guozhang! You are such a powerful official!"

As soon as Cao Cao met, it was like a thunderclap, which made Dong Cheng's heart tremble, and his blood surged up immediately, and he said angrily, "I went to bed early last night!"

"Sikong don't talk nonsense at this time, I have Taiwei and Taifu to testify! There are also many generals under his command who can swear to the death in front of His Majesty!"

"Really?" Cao Cao stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, his upper body casually leaned forward for a moment, leaned close to Dong Cheng to look at his face, then looked up and said: "I only know that Xu Bowen was assassinated, blood flowed all over the ground, the assassin I don’t know, I fled into the imperial city, if it wasn’t because of your inner guard’s infidelity, how could there be such a route!”

"Hmph! Your Excellency knows better than me why you can enter and leave the palace!" Dong Cheng immediately gritted his teeth, feeling even more angry in his heart.

I endured it all yesterday.

Originally, I really wanted to fight Xu Zhen, but I held back!I've even swallowed my anger and become a coward!You still persecute me.

I, Dong Cheng, a loyal son of heaven, can learn from the sun and the moon!By the way, be a loyal minister of the country who will go down in history, and save the reputation of helping the Han Dynasty to perish.

Why, so many people want to entrap me.

"Haha, Dong Guozhang means that I assassinated Xu Bowen?"

"Isn't it? If the public wants to blame me, there is no excuse. If Xu Bowen dies, it can be said that I took revenge on yesterday, so I did it!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Dong Guozhang really underestimated Cao Mou too much. How could Cao Mou use such a stupid plan?"

Dong Cheng snorted coldly, turned his face away, and said unconvinced: "Perhaps, if you do the opposite, you will make some achievements! Sikong is unparalleled in the world in the way of virtuality and reality!"

"Well," Cao Cao curled his lips and nodded approvingly, "it also makes sense."

"Your Excellency don't think I'm boasting, do you?" Dong Chengxu stared, feeling even more displeased. You, Cao Mengde, are in such a situation. If you fail to try to harm others, your reputation will be damaged.

And if word spreads at this time, no matter whether you killed Xu Bowen or not, as long as someone guesses like this, who else will join you in the future?
In such a critical moment, why can it be so easy?

"I'm going to meet the emperor now to explain this matter! As for who did it, the emperor will decide!"

"Haha," Cao Cao immediately stopped in his tracks, and said, "I have some small things to report to Sheng Jia, but I heard that the Taiwei and the head of the country are both here to see them, so I greet them, why don't we go together now?"

Cao Cao smiled kindly, the same as when he met civil and military officials in Luoyang.

At that time, he worked for Dong Zhuo, he was at the height of his power, he was shameless by the gentry, and he was secretly called a dog and a running dog, but when they met, Cao Cao just walked along with him shamelessly.

These old men and officials must be respectful and respectful, and what Cao Cao said shall prevail. After Cao Cao discovered this, he would always walk with them whenever he went on the same road.

The purpose is to enjoy it. These gentry people hate it to the bone, but they are completely embarrassed.

Now it's here again.

But Dong Cheng and Yang Biao looked at each other, but they both sneered.

Doesn't Cao Mengde know his current situation?But you still dare to be so arrogant, this plan will not kill me, but it will kill you Cao's reputation of being a virtuous and corporal.

Although Xu Bowen is disliked by the gentry, if he dies, especially if he is so obsessed with assassination, many people will definitely be discouraged.

Let more people vote under Yuan Shao's command.

"Hmph, go as you go, when you get to the hall, let's see how I play with him!"

Dong Cheng's heart was full of resentment, and he let out a long breath of relief.

……

Your Majesty.

It was also a mess at this time.

The emperor was not in the inner courtyard, so he directly asked Jin Wuwei to escort him from the bedroom to the main hall.

The two rows of guards below were all Jinwu Guards, and Dian Wei stood guard just outside the gate of the main hall, glaring at him.

Therefore, when Dong Cheng stepped on the last step, he and Dian Wei looked at each other.

"Humph!"

Dong Cheng stared at him from a distance, and walked around to the other side of Cao Cao.

As soon as he entered the hall, when the emperor saw Dong Cheng, he got up excitedly, his eyes were full of excitement, "Master! The palace was attacked by assassins today! All the inner guards are fighting with this moment, and they are all martyred at this moment!"

"what!?"

Dong Cheng's eyes widened at once, as if struck by lightning, his footsteps were originally lifted in mid-air, but at this moment he stomped down like lightning, and rushed forward immediately, rushing from big strides to small strides, and at the same time clasped his hands to the ground. In front of the emperor.

He asked eagerly: "All dead? No survivors?"

Cao Cao asked loudly: "Your Majesty was not injured, right? Is the palace safe? Did the assassin catch it?"

Liu Xie was still in shock, and his face was a little pale. At this moment, he shivered a little, ignored Dong Cheng, looked up at Cao Cao, and stammered, "Ai, Aiqing is loyal to you. I'm fine. Fortunately, Dianwei arrived in time. Fight the assassins and kill dozens of people, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Oh, that's it! Didn't Dian Wei have the power to save him?"

"That's right, Zhen, I will restore Dian Qing to his original post, seal him as Marquis of Guannei, and issue an imperial edict to reward him at a certain date."

Liu Xie pursed his lips, a little aggrieved, and looked at Cao Cao with suspicious eyes.

But Dong Cheng was left alone, he felt annoyed suddenly, and forgot to care about the emperor.

As a result, the right to speak completely fell into Cao Cao's mouth, but soon, he was hit in the heart like a heavy punch by these news.

Cao Cao then asked, "Your Majesty, are the inner guards dead?"

"All dead..."

Liu Xie's eyes were dull, he didn't know how he died, and he didn't know who sent those assassins.

In short, when the guards came out, the school grounds, Lange, and courtyard outside the bedroom were almost all corpses, and none of the inner guards survived.

Basically, they are killed by heavy blades, and the death conditions are not good-looking at all.

"Then, that must not be the father-in-law. Just now I doubted the father-in-law's action. I really deserve to die." Cao Cao patted the back of his head and shook his head helplessly.

Then you go to hell.

Dong Cheng immediately cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it, his whole body was cold, he just felt like falling into an ice cellar.

Neiwei, are they all dead?
These internal guards were inserted with great difficulty by me. They are the old troops of our army. They are all elite men who have followed me for many years.

None survived...

Dong Cheng completely understood at this time.

There are ghosts, there must be ghosts in this matter!
My inner guard must have been killed by Cao Cao, otherwise what assassin could kill three hundred experienced and well-armed inner guards? !

And these people... would not have died if they were still in the army, or had been secretly training dead soldiers for me.

What about this.

It was Cao Cao who showed weakness and revealed a flaw, so I defeated him in the court logically, and then pushed three hundred inner guards to protect the emperor.

I thought that I could gradually squeeze out Cao Cao's position by regaining the power to protect the emperor.

During this period of time, Cao Cao really didn't fight with me, but just watched the fire from the other side.

Now, the three hundred confidantes personally trained in the army have all been killed. They died because of their heroism in saving the emperor.

The pension alone can make their family members shut up, but Dong Cheng wanted to speak, but he dared not speak. If he even said that the pension was gone, how would he face their family in the future.

Fortunately, it was rumored that Xu Bowen was also dead.

Cao Mengde, if you break my arm this time, you will also hurt your own confidant.

Although until now, Dong Cheng is still convinced that Cao Cao did it.

"Dang, of course it can't be Dong Qing, Sikong, don't forget, Dong Qing is my father-in-law...how could she harm me."

"Haha, some sons have killed so many adoptive fathers. It is still believed that the father-in-law harmed the son-in-law, but Dong Guozhang should not be such a person. The three hundred guards he trained are still very heroic."

"Then, who is the assassin, has anyone found out?"

Cao Cao asked again with concern, and Dong Cheng had already lost his mind, but after hearing these words, he immediately became interested.

He also wanted to hear how to explain it.

This group of people is neither Cao Cao, nor himself, nor other Han officials. Could it be Yuan Shao or people outside the pass?
"The assassin is from Huainan, I think! It should be sent by Yuan Shu secretly."

At this time, a figure took off his shoes and entered from the threshold, galloping like the wind with a serious expression, his robe fluttering with the wind.

Xu Bowen! !

Dong Cheng looked back and saw the person, petrified on the spot.

He is not dead? ? ?
　Unexpectedly, I caught up with it today, but I was too tired, so I didn’t change it in the early morning, and after I woke up, I changed it by [-]
