Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 319 Coincidence
Chang'an Street in the evening is the quietest time of the day, and it will slowly become bustling again when night falls and the night market begins.At this moment, the setting sun was still hanging over Xicheng, and there were only a few pedestrians on the peaceful Chang'an Street.Suddenly, the stone slabs on the ground of Chang'an Avenue began to vibrate, and a troop of two thousand armored heavy cavalry rushed past. This formation frightened the passers-by on Chang'an Avenue to evade, and hid in restaurants and shops on both sides of the street, looking at them in horror. The army saw Dong Zhuo, the prime minister of the dynasty, surrounded by cavalry, and the shops on the street were hurriedly closed. They looked at the situation outside the street through the cracks in the door, and talked in private, not knowing what happened.

This mighty force of cavalry poured into the east area of ​​the city, and soon surrounded the General's Mansion to the point of wading through water.

Five hundred tiger and cardinal guards guarded the gate of the general's mansion. Although they were at a disadvantage in numbers, the well-trained tiger and cardinal guards lined up in front of the gate in an orderly manner, and their momentum was not overwhelmed by the heavy armored soldiers of Xiliang at all.Wen Yang held a long halberd and straddled the horse at the front, staring coldly at the Xiliang soldiers who were only a few feet away.

The gate of the general's mansion was very spacious, but because of the influx of Xiliang soldiers, it seemed crowded when the two armies confronted each other.Both sides are at war with each other, and the atmosphere is very grim.

The door of the general's mansion opened slowly. Chen Wei was not wearing a battle armor, but plain clothes. Behind him, several tiger guards carried Dong Huang's body and the body of the murderer who poisoned Dong Huang and placed it in the center of the two armies.

Surrounded by Lv Bu Zang Ba and other soldiers, Dong Zhuo in full armor appeared in front of Chen Wei. When he saw Dong Huang's body on the ground, his sinister face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Chen Wei knelt on one knee beside Dong Juan's body, although he lowered his head, he glanced at Dong Zhuo from the corner of his eyes, paying attention to the changes in his expression.

With Dong Min's support, the bloated Dong Zhuo got off his horse with difficulty, and walked up with an ugly face. He removed the shroud, saw Dong Huang's body, shouted loudly, drew his sword in anger, and went straight to Chen. Wei cut off his head.

Wen Yang's face immediately changed, and he wanted to rescue him with his long halberd, but Chen Wei didn't move at all. Sure enough, Dong Zhuo's sword stopped in front of Chen Wei's eyebrows.

Chen Wei shouted loudly: "Xiangguo calm down, please let Rong Mo explain."

"Bullshit!" Dong Zhuo yelled angrily, "You kidnapped our nephew and died in your house in the end, what explanation do you have?"

Chen Wei shouted: "Dong Huang died in the last general's mansion. The last general is naturally to blame. He should have killed himself and apologized with death. But the reason for this is not what Xiangguo thought. If Xiangguo takes full responsibility for his crime because of this, Chen Wei Wei died with resentment!"

"Why?" Dong Zhuo said angrily.

"First of all, Dong Huang assassinated the general first, and then the general took Dong Huang back to the mansion for interrogation; secondly, Dong Huang was not killed by the general, but was poisoned by others in an attempt to frame the general, so as to instigate a harmonious relationship between the general and the prime minister; finally, the general The general has promised Dong Hou that he will return Dong Huang in three days, so he will not harm Dong Huang!" Chen Wei said.

Before Dong Zhuo could speak, Lu Bu stepped forward and shouted: "Xiangguo, when General Chen forcibly took Young Master Dong away, General Mo happened to be there. At that time, General Mo tried to persuade Young Master Dong to be handed over to Jingbei Yin for justice, but General Chen behaved arrogantly. , forcibly took Young Master Dong away, it must be to torture and torture in private, and tortured into a trick; again, I came to visit Young Master Dong with Hou Ye the other day, and found that the General’s Mansion was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for outsiders to sneak into the General’s Mansion, let alone attack Young Master Dong Juan. So this is just an excuse for General Chen to cover up. In the end, Chen Wei promised to send Young Master Dong back in three days, but actually killed Young Master Dong, clearly not paying attention to Xiangguo."

Dong Zhuo was even angrier when he heard the words, pointed at Chen Wei and shouted: "Chen Wei, you are so bold, our family..."

"Xiangguo, if the general wants to kill Young Master Dong, why use poison? It is clear that someone secretly wants to kill Dong Huang so that Xiangguo will misunderstand the general, trying to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Chen Wei said.

But Lu Bu sneered, "This is just your way of blinding your eyes. You just intentionally poisoned Dong Juan and then shirked responsibility."

"Lord Lu, if I want to shirk my responsibility, I will hand over Dong Huang's body? Why don't I come here to destroy the body and wipe out the traces, and then pretend that Master Dong Huang will be released early. What does it have to do with me?" Chen Wei said: "This reason is better than the method of poisoning Dong Juan, right?"

Chen Wei cast a cold glance at Lv Bu, and then said to Dong Zhuo, "Xiangguo, Dong Huang assassinated the general beforehand, and the evidence is convincing. These are letters between Dong Juan and the assassin, and the authenticity of the handwriting is clearer than that of the general. Of course, The last general said to Lord Hou the other day that Dong Juan was just an accomplice, and the last general thought that he was a nephew who loved the country, so he made an exception. As long as he helped the late general find out who was behind the scenes, he would be released. How could Dong Huang be killed? What use will this be to the future general? Please learn from the Prime Minister!"

Dong Zhuo looked at the secret letter in his hand, it was indeed Dong Huang's handwriting, he squeezed the letter in his palm, squinted his cold eyes and said: "You mean someone used our beloved nephew to murder you?"

"That's right, the general guessed that it was the mastermind behind the scenes, and he deliberately sent someone to kill Dong Huang to silence him. Of course, it is not ruled out that someone is trying to drive a wedge between the general and the Prime Minister for personal gain!" Chen Wei glanced coldly. He glanced at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu sneered and said, "Xiangguo, this is just Chen Wei's nonsense, don't take it lightly."

"The factual evidence is in front of me, so how can I fabricate it? If the general hates Master Dong Huang, how can he take Dong Huang away with a big fanfare instead of finding him in private? Xiangguo, you don't want the real culprit to go unpunished, but to blame him. For me, both sides will suffer in the end, right?" Chen Wei's tone became tough.

Lv Bu said angrily: "Chen Wei, you are threatening Xiangguo, dare to commit crimes..."

Before Lu Bu finished speaking, Chen Wei sneered and said: "This general is talking to Xiangguo, but your little Yulin Zhonglang interrupts again and again and contradicts this general. I don't blame you for committing crimes below, but you still dare to frame him?" General, don't tell me you are the general and dare not punish you?"

Lu Bu's face froze, trying to hold back his anger.

Chen Wei said: "Xiangguo, Dong Huang's death, the last general's crime will never be shirked, but I hope that Xiangguo can give it a few days, Rongmo will find out the last mastermind behind the scenes, and then plead guilty to Xiangguo!"

Dong Zhuo's complexion changed, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Chen Wei, our family trusts you, but what if you just find a murderer to shirk responsibility? So our family decided to promote Lu Bu to the general of the town army. Specially responsible for investigating the real culprit, if Dong Huang's death has nothing to do with you, our family will not wrong you, what do you think?"

Chen Wei's complexion changed drastically, the green roots on his neck bulged, and he finally understood in his heart that Dong Zhuo knew that he would not be able to punish him when he came this time, but his real purpose was to raise Lu Bu to check and balance him.

The general of the town army, the second rank.His status in the army was second only to Chen Wei. At the end of the Han Dynasty, in terms of status, he was actually tied with the Taiwei Huang Fusong.

"In terms of seniority and military merits, Lu Bu can't be the general of the town army at all. It will definitely cause the rejection of Wang Yun's royalist faction. Only I agree, and it will be useless for Wang Yun to object at that time. I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to borrow Dong Juan this time. He came to threaten me with his death..." Chen Wei's expression turned ugly, "But at this moment, I can't refuse."

Chen Wei gritted his teeth and said: "Of course the general agrees, but I hope that Lu Bu can enforce the law impartially, because the real culprit is not only poisoning Dong Juan, but also the mastermind behind the assassination of this general. The position of general is not qualified either!"

Lu Bu was already overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he looked as if he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He clasped his fists and said, "The Prime Minister places a heavy burden on him, and the general will definitely do his duty faithfully to find out the real culprit and live up to the trust of the Prime Minister."

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu looked at Chen Wei with a sinister smile in his eyes.

"Chen Wei, our family just trusts you temporarily, but Dong Huang died in your house, your crime is unforgivable." Dong Zhuo said coldly.

Chen Wei clenched his fists tightly, and when he was about to speak, suddenly there was the sound of a galloping horse on the street. A soldier dismounted in a hurry, rolled to Dong Zhuo's feet, and shouted: "Xiangguo, Meiwu was attacked by rebels..."

Chen Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly called luck, it must be that Jia Xu got the news that Dong Zhuo led troops into Chang'an, so he attacked Meiwu in advance.

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo's face changed drastically. Meiwu is his old lair that he managed painstakingly. I don't know how much manpower and financial resources were spent to build it. He hurriedly asked: "How is the situation?"

"The number of rebels is extremely large, not less than ten thousand. However, the soldiers in Meiwu Fort have already killed the rebels with the strength of the city wall. However, it is unknown whether the rebels will make a comeback."

When Chen Wei heard that the number of people was not less than ten thousand, he couldn't help wondering, the Huben Guard outside the city only had two thousand five thousand, so how could there be ten thousand?
Hearing that Meiwu was saved, Dong Zhuo's face softened a little, and he said angrily: "These rebels dare to sneak attack on our family's Meiwu, they should be killed, they should be killed..."

Dong Zhuo's small eyes suddenly turned, shining brightly, Chen Wei saw them, and thought to himself, here we come.

Sure enough, Dong Zhuo's eyes fell on Chen Wei, squinting his eyes and said: "Chen Wei, don't say that our family is ungrateful, this time I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. These rebels have been wandering around Chang'an for a long time. The confidant of our big man is in serious trouble. This time, our family ordered you to personally lead the army to suppress the rebels. As long as you say that these rebels are wiped out, because of this credit, our family will let you offset the crime of Dong Huang's death in your house. ,how?"

Although Dong Zhuo knew that he was planning to kill two birds with one stone, this coincided with Chen Wei's plan.

Chen Wei pretended to be hesitant, Dong Zhuo said coldly, "Why, do you want our family to punish you?"

Chen Wei sneered in his heart, showing helplessness on the surface, and said: "Follow Xiangguo's order."

"Okay, Lu Bu, send someone to summon the council of ministers immediately!" Dong Zhuo said, "Our family will settle these two matters tonight!"
