As soon as Man Pet returned to Xudu from Pengcheng, Cao Cao, who got the news, couldn't wait to send someone to summon him to meet him at Sikong Mansion. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, motioned for him to be excused, and said, "What's the matter?" Did something happen on the road, it's only here now? ”

Man Chong showed a look of shame on his face, and said: "There was an accident on the road, it was the Jizhou army that was unreasonable, but fortunately, the humble position has been properly handled." ”

"Wen Chou?"

"No, it's his soldiers and generals."

Cao Cao's face suddenly became extremely ugly, he actually knew about such an important matter, and said angrily: "Why don't you report it, once there is friction with the Jizhou army, can you afford it?" ”

"Sikong doesn't know?" Man Zhong was also full of shock, and hurriedly said: "But the military's reply made the lowly position cheaper?" ”

"What the hell is going on?" There must be a problem here, he needs to understand what happened first, of course, this matter did not alarm him, but Guo Jia dealt with it directly, which means that it is just an ordinary friction, and it will not cause a large-scale conflict, otherwise he will not hide it from himself, so he nodded and said: "Feng Xiao mentioned it to me, I am asking you, what happened in Pengcheng?" ”

"Xuzhou's Jizhou army plundered, did not rob Xuzhou, but came to Pengcheng to rob the surrounding pavilions, because the situation was urgent, the lowly post captured all these Jizhou troops, with a tiger tooth report, and soon sent back the military reply, the letter only wrote four words, cheap act, the humble post will behead one of their Bai Chang to show the public, and the rest of the soldiers are all released to Xuzhou.

"What a cheap act!" Cao Cao restrained the anger in his heart, sneered, and said: "Kill well, if I am here, it will not be the Bai Chang, but all the Jizhou army!" "Guo Jia's cheap act, to put it bluntly, he doesn't want to get involved in the dispute below, if because this Bai Chang Yuan Shao really came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, then Sikong Da can put everything on him Guo Jia, after all, he didn't know about this matter from beginning to end, but once he let himself know about such a provocative thing, it would probably not spare these Jizhou troops, but in this way, there will be no room for relaxation with Yuan Shao in the future.

Cao Cao nodded, and said: "After that, did the Jizhou army in Xuzhou have any movement, and when a Bai Chang was killed, there was no reaction." “

"No, the lowly post has been worried, but after that, the Jizhou army is indeed a lot more honest, and never dared to pass Pengcheng's troops anymore, and the aftermath was dealt with, and the lowly post set off, if there is any abnormality in the Jizhou army in Xuzhou, the lowly post will not dare to leave rashly in a short time."

"It's okay now, you Yuan let you be in charge of Pengcheng affairs, and you can come back to try the assassination case on the street for me with peace of mind." Full pet glanced at Cao Cao, on the way to come, he knew what he dared to know and what he shouldn't know, and he also knew that the front foot entered Xu Du, and he lived in the post house, and he couldn't go home, when Cao Cao summoned him, before he could go back to the house, as usual, he had to live in the post house for at least ten days, but before he put down his luggage in the post house, he was called to Sikong Mansion, which is enough to show how anxious Cao Cao's mood is at this moment, and along the way, because of Sikong's urgency, he didn't have much time to ask Dian Wei in detail, and immediately said: "General Dian was present at that time?" ”

"Yes." Cao Cao immediately shouted outside the house, "Come in!" ”

"No." Dian Wei agreed in a deep voice, and pushed the door in, because the time from the long street assassination case was too long, and it was impossible to keep the scene at all, so Man Pet could only learn some about the situation at the time from Dian Wei's mouth, and then go to the scene to find out, maybe he could find a little clue left at this moment.

In fact, he is just doing his best now, he has no living mouth, and it is too difficult to find clues from the dead, at least he does not have this to bring them back to life to identify the murderer, so it is too difficult to investigate who the murderer is.

Dian Wei told everything he saw at the time, except for the assassination after the palace, many people think that this is something that only insiders can do, if I am an assassin and want to choose the right place for assassination, the area around Sikong Mansion is obviously not a suitable location, but Cao Sikong's daily range of activities is very limited, so as long as the people who have a snack will definitely find out about this and assassinate outside the imperial city, and this is more reliable than the area around Sikong Mansion and near the military barracks and schools in the city.

In terms of trial of the case, Guo Jia is much worse than the trial, and sometimes even Cao Cao has to wonder if Guo Jia is from a famous family, if Man Zhong tells him like this, then he will definitely believe it 100%, but Guo Jia is too far behind Man Zhong in these things.

Of course, this is also related to his experience, first literature and then martial arts, an experience in the local magistrate at the beginning, so that he has a greater advantage in trying the case, plus he is very smart, the truth can be dug up soon, but today, he is powerless, bowed down to Cao Cao's strength, and said: "Sikong, there is nothing to be done about it." ”

When he came, he thought that others could not do anything in the face of the assassin An, and after he appeared, he turned the tide, but now it seems that he is thinking too simply, there is no headless case, unless the real murderer surrenders, otherwise there is no way to investigate at all.

Cao Cao stepped forward to help the bent man, and at the moment when his body stood upright, Cao Cao whispered in his ear, "Yang Biao has been arrested, he is a close relative of Yuan Shu, and this assassination is him!" ”

"Is there any evidence to prove that the mastermind is Yang Biao?" Man Pet instantly became a little excited, if there was evidence to prove it, it would be unusual, and instantly showed a cold smile, as long as the evidence was obtained, he had hundreds or thousands of ways to make Yang Biao speak, and he was still happy to use some torture on Yang Biao that had been abolished.

immediately arched his hand and said: "As long as Sikong provides evidence, he is accused of having absolutely a way to make him confess and wipe out these rebels in one fell swoop." “

"Nope." Cao Cao's voice was very low, and even a little ashamed, in fact, he meant that he hoped that Man Chong could take the opportunity of interrogation to confirm Yang Biao's collaboration with the enemy, so that he could act openly against the Yang family, and also borrowed the name of the Son of Heaven, he believed that Yang Biao would never resist, it was very simple, because he was different from Yuan Shao, he was loyal to the Son of Heaven, so as long as the edict of the Son of Heaven appeared in his hands, he would not have any choice, and the Hongnong Yang family naturally had no choice, and could only be exterminated.

But Man Pet obviously misunderstood what he meant, and actually looked for evidence from himself? Cao Cao immediately raised his voice and said to Man Chong, "There is no need for evidence, it has been confirmed that he secretly colluded with Yuan Shu, even if he is not the mastermind of a certain queen, secretly colluding with Yuan Shu, and intending to plot against the Son of Heaven for a felony is inextricable, this time you don't have too many taboos, let go and do it boldly, with my support behind you, how should it be judged, just like that!" ”

"You're empty." Full Favor finally understood Cao Cao's true intentions.

As soon as Man Pet returned to Xudu from Pengcheng, Cao Cao, who got the news, couldn't wait to send someone to summon him to meet him at Sikong Mansion. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, motioned for him to be excused, and said, "What's the matter?" Did something happen on the road, it's only here now? ”
