Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 311 Friction sparks
Chen Wei walked on the streets of Chang'an on foot. Years of war hadn't burned in this ancient city for the time being. There was no curfew at night, and the streets and alleys were busier with people coming and going than during the day.He walked alone in the crowd, maybe many people had heard his name, but few people really knew his appearance, at least walking in the downtown at night, no one recognized him.

Who would think that the young man who spends a few pennies eating mutton skewers and squatting alone on the side of the street looking at strange things is the only general in the dynasty who can compete with Dong Zhuo?

"Boss, ten more sticks."

"Okay."

"Young man, doesn't it taste good?" The owner of the stall is a 50-year-old man with a hunchback, a dark yellow face, white eyebrows, wrinkles around the corners of his eyes and cheeks, and a gray apron tied around his waist. It was stained greasy, faded from years of washing.

After finishing the few strings at hand, Chen Wei raised his head, showing his two rows of teeth as white as snow in Tianshan Mountains, and said with a smile, "Xiang."

The owner of the stall immediately laughed. His eyes are too small, and when he smiles, they become cracks, making the whole person feel simple and honest. It is more comfortable for rural gentlemen, who have no scheming, no city, just laugh when they laugh , If you are angry, you will be angry, and you will never hide your knife in your smile, one set on the front and the other on the back.

Seeing the young man's bright smile, the owner of the small stall let go of his last worry, and said, "Look at the young man's outfit, he is not like ordinary children. Although people in the city like to eat, but he finds it greasy, he can't open it easily." Well, the old man is not happy to see him eating, like you young man, you can only know the taste of the bottom when you eat with big mouthfuls."

Chen Wei licked the oil on the corner of his mouth, nodded and smiled repeatedly: "The old man is right."

The owner of the stall laughed, and counted out eleven of the burnt mutton skewers on hand, then handed over the stall to the woman, walked to Chen Wei and said with a smile: "An extra one is a gift."

Chen Wei was not polite, he ate it as soon as he took it, his lips were full of oil, he didn't care about his appearance at all, he chewed very tasty.After eating, he took the cloth to wipe his hands and took out a piece of silver, and said: "It happens that I don't bring change today, if you can't find it, put it with the boss and remember, next time you bring friends to eat."

Seeing the heavy silver, the owner of the small stall was worrying about not having enough money to pay for it. Hearing what Chen Wei said, he also had the honest and straightforward quality of a countryman.

Chen Wei waved his hand and left.

The owner of the small shop returned to the stall, and the aunt looked at the silver ingots in her husband's hand, and said, "Oh, you have received so much money from others, your conscience has been eaten by dogs?"

The shop owner ignored his wife's nagging, looked at Chen Wei's back and murmured: "This young man... is sincere."

When Chen Wei returned to the General's Mansion, the wind lamps hanging on both sides of the door had already been lit up. The guardians of the house were carefully selected by Chen Wei from the Huben Army.When they saw Chen Wei coming back, they were all respectful.For this young general, these soldiers worship and admire from the bottom of their hearts.Once a person gains power, his heart will easily become crooked.But the general of our family is already an extremely personable minister at a young age, but he is neither arrogant nor impatient. He treats the people well and treats the soldiers like brothers. He eats the same food as the soldiers when he marches. There wasn't a single guy in the barracks who didn't say he had a future.

Back in the study, Diao Chan brought a bowl of lotus seed soup, said that it was hot summer, drink it to relieve the heat, then relaxed his shoulders for Chen Wei, and said that in the evening Wen Yang sent a book case, and I put it on the desk for you.

Seeing the information on the book case, Chen Wei was a little surprised, so Diao Chan called Wen Yang.

Only Chen Wei and Wen Yang were left in the study room. Putting down the desk at hand, Chen Wei rubbed his brows and asked, "Is the investigation written above true?"

"Wen Zhixuan was selected by officials, and his uncle Wen Kangtai recently made connections with him. Today, the general ran into Wen Zhixuan at the Shuxiang Tea House. It was when Wen Kangtai recommended his nephew Wen Zhixuan to Jingbei Yin Yuanhong. It's worth it Note that this Yuan Hong is Wen Kangtai's father-in-law."

"Wen Kangtai?" Chen Wei scratched the tip of his nose lightly, and it turned out that the familiar voice he heard today was Wen Kangtai.Wen Kangtai is now competing with Cai Yong for the position of General Zuo Zhonglang, and his wife is the daughter of Jingbei Yin Yuanhong, which Chen Wei has long known.

Wen Kangtai had met Chen Wei once, and he didn't have a good impression of this person, nor did he have much opinion.

"So Wen Zhixuan and Wen Kangtai are uncles and nephews." Chen Wei took a brush and wrote their names on straw paper.

But Wen Yang continued: "This Wen Zhixuan has another relationship, I'm afraid even the general can't guess..."

Chen Wei tapped lightly on the inkstone with a brush, and said, "It should be related to Wang Weixiu, right?"

Wen Yang raised his brows and said in surprise: "So the general already knew?"

Chen Wei shook his head and said, "Say it."

Wen Yang said: "My subordinates have found out that this Wen Zhixuan is from Lishan. His father and Wang Weixiu's father are both big families in Lintong County. Wen Zhixuan had an engagement with Wang Weixiu in his early years. They are childhood sweethearts. It was rumored that they were not yet married, but they were actually married. Later, when the Wang family fell, Wen Zhixuan was greedy for wealth and power, and agreed to his uncle Wen Kangtai's marriage with the Yuan family in the capital, and then went to the Wang family to regret the marriage. In Lintong County, after being abandoned by Wen Zhixuan, everyone thought that Wang Weixiu was a lost flower, and no one dared to marry her. In order to pay off the gambling debt, his elder brother even sold Wang Weixiu to the kiln in a fit of anger. If he hadn't met the general, I'm afraid Wang Weixiu's life was wasted by Wen Zhixuan."

Chen Wei wrote the three words Wang Weixiu on the paper again, and then recalled the scene where Wang Weixiu saw Wen Zhixuan in the teahouse today, and he probably understood what happened.

"So it sounds like Wen Zhixuan abandoned Wang Weixiu for his official career?" Chen Wei put down his brush and asked.

"That's right, Wen Zhixuan has already been engaged to Yuan Hong's sister-in-law's daughter. Once married, Wen Zhixuan's official career is a certainty." Wen Zhixuan said, "And this Wen Zhixuan is very scheming, During the year in Chang'an, I worked hard to create my own social circle, and the people I met were all famous rich and powerful sons in Chang'an, and I heard that they often flatter Dong Huang recently, and they have a good relationship."

"It turned out to be Chen Shimei." Chen Wei sat down on the chair again.

"Chen Shimei?" Wen Yang was puzzled.

Chen Wei shook his head, too lazy to explain.

"If it's okay, this subordinate will investigate the assassin's matter." Wen Yang said.

Chen Wei waved his hand and said, "Go to Fengming Pavilion to drink flower wine tonight."

Wen Yang froze for a moment.

Chen Wei said with a smile: "Dong Huang will go to Fengming Pavilion almost every night. You can bring a few hard-fisted brothers there. It doesn't matter how much you spend. The most important thing is to show off and spark some sparks."

Wen Yang smiled knowingly, and said, "This subordinate understands."
