When the chief judge heard Cao Cao's request, he looked at him in surprise. However, Cao Cao had a prominent background, and he was a popular person around He Jin, so he didn't dare to offend him, so he ordered the executing man to change the whip.

The whip used in the army is made of cow and sheepskin, which is as thick as a little finger, and after being exposed to the sun, there are many tendons and joints, and it is a blood mark on the body, which is really fierce, and many people are whipped to death on the spot. Now the whip that the magistrate has replaced has not been sun-burned, and it has been anointed with the oil of the lamb, and although it is just as painful, it will not easily hurt people.

Almost as soon as he put on the new whip, Yue Xi immediately felt it, he turned his head to look, and saw that Qiu Ming and Cao Cao were both nodding and smiling kindly at him. Yue Xi retracted his gaze, still staring blankly ahead.

He Jin's main book is still served by Chen Lin, who once had a relationship with Qiuming in Luoyang, but he is not unfamiliar. Although he was surprised that so many names came out in Tyuming, he had always known that He Jin was used to indiscriminately sealing officials to win people's hearts, so he could only record them one by one with a wry smile, just waiting for the approval of Situ Mansion.

When the matter here was finished, He Jin called Qiuming into his bedroom again and asked about the content of the Jin Lan spectrum alone. Qiu Ming said the name he could remember, and He Jin was surprised: "It turns out that Zhang Rang is also a person from the Marquis of Hefei, which is very difficult." ”

In addition to He Jin in the dormitory, only Wang Kuang was there, Wang Kuang nodded and said: "The other people are similar to what we guessed, but Gonggong Zhang has also become a henchman of the Marquis of Hefei, which really surprises me." No wonder Empress Dowager Dong knows everything about things outside the palace and always says something that is very unfavorable to us. ”

He Jin said with a gloomy face: "I annoyed the Son of Heaven some time ago because of a trivial matter, and I was ordered to train in Mengjin, and I was not allowed to return to Beijing without a holy decree. I'm not in Beijing, if Zhang Rang is a troublemaker, it will be really dangerous for you to go to Luoyang in Qiuming. ”

Qiu Ming said with a smile: "No matter how powerful Zhang Rang is, he would never have imagined that I have a fake book in my hand, I am neither in a hurry to enter the palace, nor in a hurry to see the Son of Heaven, even if he covers the sky with one hand in the palace, he can't help me outside the palace." ”

Wang Kuang still nodded and said: "What you said also has some truth, we don't have Jinlanpu, we just want to let the Marquis of Hefei mess up, but it is not appropriate to enter the palace too early to expose his shortcomings." ”

He Jin glared at him and said, "This also makes sense, that one also makes sense, to put it mildly, is it that I ignored it?" You've got a way to do it. ”

Wang Kuang wiped the sweat on his forehead: "In the current situation, we can only take the lead and take countermeasures with the actions of the Marquis of Hefei." Tyuming came here from Dengzhou in the name of sending Yuan Shao's two sons to Beijing, and I think it is better to continue north to Luoyang as usual to attract the attention of the Marquis of Hefei. The others only waited outside Luoyang City, and as soon as the Marquis of Hefei showed his objections, he immediately entered the king of Jingqin, and when the Son of Heaven read the loyalty of the general, he naturally will not blame you. ”

Qiu Ming heard it, no, didn't he do it to let me be a bait to lure people to take the bait, but He Jin became the fisherman who was hiding in the shadows? If Hefei Hou Zhen raised troops in Luoyang City, and when He Jin entered the King of Jingqin, the Son of Heaven might be able to keep him safe, and he would definitely have been hacked to death with a knife, and he would have died no longer dead.

Seeing Qiu Ming's reluctance, Wang Kuang continued: "Don't worry, after you enter Beijing, you just have to pretend to be a tour of the mountains and rivers, and appropriately show the fake score once or twice to the people of the Marquis of Hefei." I will arrange for Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde to protect you closely, they have many families, and you should be able to protect you outside the palace walls. ”

"But now that you have arrived in Luoyang, if you don't find a chance to enter Beijing and enter the Son of Heaven, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and Zhang Rang is afraid that he will try his best to trick you into the palace to plot. We are understaffed in the palace, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to keep you safe. By the way, I heard that Zhao Zhong, the middle servant, is your father-in-law, but is there such a thing? ”

Qiu Ming's face immediately turned red: "How can there be such a thing, it is just his wishful thinking, Qiu Ming is a good man, how can he recognize a eunuch as his father-in-law?" ”

He Jin looked disapproving: "If the husband does extraordinary things, there must be an extraordinary way, besides, Zhao Gonggong's power and power are on par with Zhang Rang, how many people want to worship him but can't get it, even if he worships him as a father-in-law, it won't be an insult to you, right?" ”

Qiu Ming knew that Zhao Zhong would die in another two or three years, and when the time came, he would inevitably suffer, so he just shook his head and refused. Seeing that he didn't get into the oil and salt, Wang Kuang sighed and said: "Since you don't want to be closer to Gonggong Zhao, then we can only rely on the power of the queen's mother, but the queen is also a little unfriendly with the Son of Heaven now, and I'm afraid it won't help much." ”

Speaking of Queen He, He Jin became a little annoyed: "No, my sister is upset enough, I can't bother her anymore because of such a thing." Tyumen, you go out first, let me discuss it with Gongjie again. ”

Tyumen returned to the camp and found that his tent was still surrounded by the Yuan cavalry, leaving only a path to enter and exit. Seeing Qiuming coming back, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang greeted them warmly, as if Yuan Shao had not told them about the true and false Jin Lanpu.

As soon as Qiu Ming sat down in the tent, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao came over together. Seeing that Yuan Shao was still unhappy, Qiu Ming said: "The matter is big, there were many people at that time, and my younger brother Yuan Highway was a big mouth, if the matter is not secret, let the Hou of Hefei find out the news, this strategy will not work." ”

Yuan Shao heard Qiu Ming say bad things about Yuan Shu, and Mo Ming's mood improved a little: "What you said is not bad, the disciple is straightforward, I'm afraid I can't keep any secrets, and it's understandable for you to do this." But in the future, if he knows that you have deceived him, he will definitely settle accounts with you, and I will not be persuaded at that time. ”

Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's tone loosen, and hurriedly came out to play a round, and the three of them began to talk and laugh again. Speaking of the task assigned by He Jin this time, Yuan Cao frowned a little, it was really easy to protect the safety of Qiuming and fake Jinlanpu in the huge Luoyang City, but the matter had come to this point, so he had to take one step at a time. I only hope that the Marquis of Hefei will not be able to withstand the pressure and raise troops to rebel as soon as possible, and then the three of them will be relaxed.

However, it was said that after He Miao escaped from Ruzhou, he only hid in a nearby ravine with his entourage and frequently went out to inquire about the news. When he heard that He Jin did not send someone to search him, He Miao finally put his mind at ease, took off his golden helmet and threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "What is this brother called? If you don't help your brother but help outsiders, you deserve to be suspicious of the Son of Heaven. Hmph, it would have been better to demote him from the position of general earlier. ”
