The Nameless of the Common Clans

"We are also investigating this matter!" In the residence of the General of Five Officials, Li Ru looked at Chen Mo and said seriously: "No matter how stupid I am, I would never do something like poisoning the Queen Mother. This matter is quite strange."

"In other words, there are still people hiding in the dark in this palace who are not under the control of the Grand Commandant?" Chen Mo frowned and looked at Li Ru.

"That's right." Li Ru nodded and said, "After Empress Dowager He was deposed, she was moved to Yong'an Palace. Apart from that, we did not show any disrespect. In order to avoid being accused, the palace guards were under the control of the Imperial Household. I have asked Wang Yun before, but the palace guards on that day have disappeared."

"But no matter what, this matter will still be recorded on the head of the Imperial Household." Chen Mo heard Wang Yun's name, and his heart moved. He looked at Li Ru and said, "But I am more worried that King Hongnong was killed. Have you checked Wang Yun?"

"No." Li Ru shook his head: "After being named the Imperial Household, this person acted very low-key and lived in seclusion."

Intuition told Chen Mo that this matter was inseparable from Wang Yun. After all, those who were present at the time were basically Wang Yun's people. If you say it is unrelated, Chen Mo does not believe it, but dealing with such a high-ranking celebrity cannot be entirely based on speculation. You can't do him without evidence.

Dong Zhuo is already being hated because of the abolition and enthronement. If he is accused of killing famous people, the people he has won over with great difficulty will probably be dispersed.

"I think it is inconvenient to investigate this matter. No matter who is found out, it will not help the reputation of the general. Instead, people will think that the general is shirking responsibility and framing others." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The most important thing now is that the King of Hongnong must not be harmed again, otherwise the reputation that the general has built up in the past few days will be destroyed."

Everyone has a great prejudice against Dong Zhuo and has already determined that the queen mother was killed by Dong Zhuo. At this time, even if the truth is found out, everyone will only be willing to believe the truth they recognize.

Li Ru nodded, looked at Chen Mo with some appreciation and said: "Although General Chen is young, he is quite prudent in doing things and can take on important tasks."

"Once the problem is clear, it will not be difficult to solve it." Chen Mo didn't care much about this. At least for now, Dong Zhuo would not give him any important tasks. At present, the Sili Xiaowei was actually easier to offend people: "If there is no important matter, I will take my leave first."

"Goodbye!" Li Ru stood up to see him off.

After leaving the office of the General of the Five Officials, Chen Mo did not return to the military camp. He walked on the street and looked at the sparse pedestrians. There was no sense of the bustle and prosperity at the beginning.

Somehow, he walked to Chunnuan Pavilion.

"General Chen? Why are you here?" The owner of Chunnuan Pavilion, the charming woman, was slightly startled when she saw Chen Mo, and hurried forward to greet him.

"What? Chunnuan Pavilion doesn't welcome me now?" Chen Mo smiled, less innocent than before, but more masculine, more attractive to women. Although he came to Chunnuan Pavilion many times, he was quite popular in Chunnuan Pavilion.

"Chunnuan Pavilion has been given to the imperial servant by Yuan Gong now." The Pavilion Master shook his head and whispered.

I understand. Wang Yun obviously doesn't welcome me.

"Sister, can you help me?" Chen Mo looked around and pulled the Pavilion Master to a small room beside.

"General Chen, we are all miserable people. This is a big event for the court. We are also..." The woman said with some embarrassment.

"Don't worry, there is no need to take risks. You can record who Wang Yun meets every day. I will send people nearby. Your sister can give the things to these people." Chen Mo whispered: "It will definitely benefit your sister."

As he said, Chen Mo took out a jade Ruyi from his arms and stuffed it into the other party's arms. This was a reward from Dong Zhuo.

"Just like that?" The woman looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

"That's all." Chen Mo nodded affirmatively.

This matter is not difficult. The woman looked at the jade ruyi in her hand, then looked at Chen Mo, and finally nodded and said: "Well, recently the imperial servant often brings the Northern Army Zhonghou here."

"What is it?" Chen Mo nodded and said: "Then I'll leave this matter to my sister. I'll take my leave first."

He had to leave. This woman touched him from time to time, which made Chen Mo very embarrassed.

The woman looked at Chen Mo's embarrassment and couldn't help laughing. Chen Mo walked faster.

When he returned home, the lights were on, and Yun Si had prepared hot water for him.

"My husband has been running around for many days, and he must be exhausted. I heard that my husband will come back tonight, so I specially ordered someone to prepare hot water for bathing." Yun Si smiled and looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Let's go together~" Chen Mo nodded. He really needed to relax after running around for days.

"Hmm~" Yun Si responded with a weak mosquito-like sound, and followed Chen Mo to the bathroom.

…

No one spoke that night. The morning light shone through the window paper onto the delicate skin. Chen Mo, who had already put on his clothes, helped Yun Si to brush away the hair stuck on her face. He pulled up the silk quilt before leaving.

The Sili Xiaowei usually had few things to do, but now was an extraordinary period. First of all, the Yin of Henan had to be governed well, and the banditry around had to be dealt with. In this position, it was really busy to do practical things. Chen Mo was not afraid of offending the powerful now. Anyway, the real powerful people were basically keeping a low profile. Most of those who came out now were making trouble without seeing the situation clearly. They could not do the real things, but they were good at making trouble. Just the matter of Yanshi Ling brought out a lot of close friends.

"I don't know how many people you will offend by doing this." That day, Chen Mo met with Cao Cao and looked at Chen Mo and said.

"There is no way. The evidence of the Yanshi Order's corruption and perversion of law is now in Henan Yin Yamen. Many people don't seem to be able to see it. Maybe they have seen it, but that is not what they want to see. What they see is just me. Do things for Dong Zhuo, God If Xia Sheji really relies on these people, then the world will be destroyed." Chen Mo shook his head helplessly. The network between scholars must be broken. If the imperial court cannot even control Henan Yin, then the imperial court will be ruined. It really exists in name only.

"Have you been invited to the prince's birthday party?" Luoyang looked at Chen Mo and suddenly changed the subject.

"No, how could he invite me? If he was not behind these things, would you believe it?" Chen Mo shook his head. In recent days, he had gotten a lot of lists from Chun Nuan Pavilion. He knew that Chun Nuan Pavilion's list was actually just A small part, but this small part is already a bit shocking. He underestimated the scholars' rejection of Dong Zhuo and overestimated the scholars' loyalty to the Han Dynasty. These people would rather destroy the Han Dynasty than let Dong Zhuo Taking power was something Chen Mo didn't expect.

"What a coincidence, I don't have one either." Cao Cao sighed and took out an invitation. Seeing Chen Mo's confusion, he laughed and said, "I got it from Boqiu last night. I'm going to have a look. Maybe it will be there in the next few days." Going to leave."

"Am I the only one left?" Chen Mo smiled bitterly, but did not stop him.

"Luoyang has been corrupted to this point. You and I can't change anything. I'm going to try another way to save the country." Cao Cao took the invitation in his hand and looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Wang Yun is a scheming person, but he is narrow-minded. After my brother leaves, my wise brother should be careful about this person. If he feels that something cannot be done, he should get out as soon as possible. Today's Luoyang is like a quagmire."

Chen Mo nodded, clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Then I wish my brother success. Before noon tomorrow, I will remove the people who are going to the east gate. Mo will not see my brother off. Wang Yun will not be in Chun Nuan Pavilion for his birthday party today. It should be in his home.”

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from my virtuous brother." Cao Cao said with a wry smile when he heard this.

"The other way may not be easy. Brother needs some reputation." Chen Mo said calmly: "After all, we both have a bad reputation now."

"Don't blame me?" Cao Cao said unexpectedly.

"Actually... I'm a little unsure now whether I made the right choice. Although Dong Zhuo has courage, but..." Chen Mo pinched his eyebrows. The scholar's rejection of Dong Zhuo was a bit beyond Chen Mo's expectations. He almost hugged the Han room. He still can't figure out how to do it with the courage to die together with Dong Zhuo. Is it really good for them if the world falls apart in the end?

Maybe it is true. No matter who is in power in this world, the scholars cannot get around it, so they dare to poison the Queen Mother He. Since they have this courage, why didn't they use this courage to drive Dong Zhuo away when he first entered Beijing? go out?

"Actually, what Dong Zhuo is doing now is something that everyone wants but dare not do. Dong Zhuo has set a precedent, so it is naturally useless." Cao Cao picked up the wine glass in his hand and sneered.

"The road ahead is long, brother, take care!" Chen Mo picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Well, good brother, you should think of a way out. If this continues... the result will definitely not be what good brother wants." Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo and sighed.

Chen Mo nodded, he did have this idea.

At that moment, Cao Cao accepted the invitation, said goodbye to Chen Mo, and went straight to Wang Yun's Mansion. As for what he said, Chen Mo didn't know, but the next day, the news that Cao Cao wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a sword quickly spread in the city. .

"General, General Cao is gone." Under the city gate, Dian Wei came to Chen Mo and bowed.

"Inform Cui Geng and close the city gate tightly." Chen Mo nodded.

"Here!"

Soon, Lu Bu arrived with his troops. He looked at the closed city gate and frowned: "Who is on duty? Why don't you open the city gate quickly?"

"It's Marquis Wen." Chen Mo rode over and saluted Lu Bu: "I just received news that someone wants to assassinate the prince. I specially ordered people to close the city gate tightly to prevent the thief from escaping."

"General Chen?" Lu Bu rode up to Chen Mo, stared at Chen Mo and said, "Do you know who assassinated the Taiwei?"

"I don't know yet." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Does Marquis Wen know?"

"That's your good friend Cao Mengde!" When Lu Bu said this, his murderous intent suddenly appeared.

"Impossible, no reason." Chen Mo shook his head.

"I saw it with my own eyes." Lu Bu said calmly, "You want to protect this person?"

"Marquis Wen, I respect you as a hero, but Chen is not someone to be bullied!" The smile on Chen Mo's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Lu Bu and said, "Brother Meng De can't possibly do such a thing."

"Then you open the city gate and I'm ordered to pursue the traitors!"

"Is there any order from the Lieutenant?" Chen Mo stretched out his hand and asked.

"I left in a hurry, but I never arrived!" Lu Bu said impatiently.

"If there is no order, it will be difficult to obey!" Chen Mo looked at Lu Bu and refused to give in.

"Nonsense!" Lu Bu was furious. Fang Tian looked at the halberd in his hand and took it directly at Chen Mo.

"Who dares to hurt my general!" Behind Chen Mo, Dian Wei roared, holding a ring-headed sword in each hand, guarding Chen Mo while stepping forward, splitting Lu Bu's painted halberd with one knife, eyes wide open, and glaring at Lu Bu.
