"Didn't leave a mouth alive?" Cao Rong chuckled in his heart, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

Cao Miao said it himself, and Xiahou Xuan also heard it. The reason for this, Xiahou Xuan has already explained, and His Majesty will know it at a glance. Yin Mo couldn't stand on the ground and secretly rejoiced. Although he lowered his head, listening to the emperor's voice, he also knew that there was something wrong with it.

Cao Rong didn't say anything more, checked the box, and made sure that there was no possibility of opening it without permission, so he ordered someone to open it. He first read Xiahou Xuan's report and verified what Yin Mo said, and then picked up the silk book.

Seeing the blood stains on the silk book, Cao Rong frowned and raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose. But when he picked up the silk book and only read a few words, his expression changed, and he still couldn't suppress the trembling when he held the silk book in both hands.

He looked at Yin Mo and said in a deep voice, "You go down." ”

Yin Mo was stunned, then reacted, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order and retreated.

Waiting for Yin Mo to withdraw from the main hall, Cao Rong repelled everyone in the hall again, returned to the palace with the silk book and the broken flat box, took out a key from the pillow, reached into the lock of the flat box, twisted it slightly, and with a soft "click", the lock opened.

Cao Ei's face changed, put the silk book and the flat box on the table, stood up, walked back and forth twice, and stood at the door of the palace with his hands in his hands, looking at the dark night sky, motionless. After a while, he turned back to the desk, picked up the silk book and began to read. After reading it once, he read it again, and then read it again.

After reading it three times, Cao Rong spread the silk book on the desk, straightened up, stared at it for a while, and suddenly smiled.

"Wang Ji, you are really innocent!" Cao Rong gritted his teeth and said. He shouted, and after a short time, Cao Shuang appeared outside the door and bowed down. Cao Rong waved his hand. "Uncle Zhao, please come to Uncle Huang. Then you leave the palace, go to the Luoyang Dian Agricultural Governance Office, and summon Cao Miao back to the city without delay. ”

Cao Shuang answered and turned to leave. Cao Rong stopped him again and thought about it. "You go to Princess Deyang's Mansion first. If not, check a few more gates to see if he has returned to the city. ”

Cao Shuang was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask more, and bowed down to receive the order.

Cao Rong took his gaze back to the silk book on the case, provoked a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and called an attendant to ask him to get a few documents.

After a while, Cao Zhi hurried over, saluted, and sat on the seat diagonally opposite Cao Rong.

"Uncle Huang came so quickly, and he hasn't slept yet?" Cao Rong said lightly.

"Can't sleep." Cao Zhi smiled bitterly: "The people of Dudu Yangzhou can't be selected, and the ministers are uneasy. ”

Cao Rong was silent for a moment. "They still insist on recommending Wang Xuan?"

"Yes." Cao Zhi sighed lightly: "Although Man Zhong has military exploits, his qualifications are too shallow, and his reputation in Shilin is insufficient. ”

Cao Rong chuckled: "Then be full of favors." For the time being, don't let him supervise Yangzhou, first take over the history of Yangzhou and be stationed in Hefei. Da Sima was just injured, and he returned to Beijing to recuperate for a while, maybe he would be fine. In case Sima Da is not shy about it, he will be able to stabilize the situation in Yangzhou and prove his ability. If you can't do it, you can choose someone else. ”

Cao Zhi glanced at Cao Rong and agreed. "Your Majesty."

Cao Rong pushed the silk book on the case forward, and the chamberlain came over, picked up the silk book, and put it on the case in front of Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi glanced at it, and his face changed greatly. "Your Majesty, this ......"

Cao Rong waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, Uncle Huang, let's take a look." ”

Cao Zhi's face changed a few times, but he still stubbornly watched it. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the more uneasy he became, and he insisted on reading it, but he couldn't support his body, and he knelt on the ground with his hands. "Your Majesty, this ...... This is a great rebellion, this is a slander against the first emperor and Empress Wenzhao, and even more so a slander against His Majesty, and the crime deserves death. No, it should be punished. ”

Cao Rong laughed, got up and left the table, walked in front of Cao Zhi, and helped Cao Zhi up. "Uncle Huang, you are right, the person who wrote this silk letter is very rebellious, and the clan will be punished. However, the first evil has been eliminated, and the person who punishes this first evil is Yun Liang. ”

"Yes...... Yunliang? Cao Zhi didn't react for a while. He's back? ”

"I'm back." Cao Rong bent finger flicked the silk book. Yun Liang worked hard this time, and he didn't sleep for three days, and finally caught up with Wang Ji and beheaded him. This silk book was taken back by him from Wang Ji. It's just that he was too young, and he fell for the trick of the king. ”

"What...... Ruse? Cao Zhi's face turned whiter, and he was dripping with cold sweat. He's hurt? ”

"It's not that he's injured, but he reads this silk letter, and I'm afraid he still believes it." Cao Rong said with a smile: "I guess, I'm afraid he's going to get sick with fear again." ”

Cao Zhi thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, don't say it's him, even if it's a minister, he's scared to get sick." ”

"Uncle Huang, don't be afraid." Cao Rong laughed loudly, turned around and picked up a few documents from the case, and placed them in front of Cao Zhi. "Uncle Huang, take a closer look at these documents and see if there is any difference."

Cao Zhi was nervous, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. It's just that there is too much cold sweat, the handkerchief is already soaked, and there is still a layer of fine sweat on the forehead. Seeing this, Cao Rong took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over. Cao Zhi took it in his hand, he was sincerely afraid, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to kneel down and thank him.

After carefully comparing a few documents, Cao Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up and he relaxed a lot. "Your Majesty, this document ...... I'm afraid it's fake. Although the handwriting is somewhat similar, there are obvious traces of imitation, and there is no doubt that it is a forgery. ”

Cao Rong nodded, the smile on his face dissipated, and handed the broken box to Cao Zhi. "Uncle Huang thinks who made it fake?"

Cao Zhi picked up the box and looked at it over and over for a while. "Who broke this?"

"It's Yunliang. However, before Yunliang broke the box, the box was opened, and the documents inside were also transferred. ”

Cao Zhi reacted immediately. "Wang Ji?"

Cao Rong nodded, the smile on his face dissipated, and his eyes became fierce. "This Wang Ji is really vicious, not only forged documents, slandered the first emperor and the first queen, forged my life experience, and died to the end, but also wanted to pull Yunliang on his back, it was simply innocent. Not to mention Yunliang, even if it is me, when I encounter this situation, I will not hesitate to kill him. ”

He clenched his fists and slammed the bookcase hard. "Not only do I want to kill him, but I also want to punish the three clans of the Taiyuan Wang clan."

Cao Zhi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, by all means." ”

Cao Rong raised his eyebrows coldly, murderous. "He framed the emperor's uncle back then, and now he slanders the court and frames Yunliang, shouldn't he be punished?"

Cao Zhi couldn't laugh or cry. "Your Majesty, Wang Ji is dead, and there is no proof of death, how can he be convicted based on this document alone? Moreover, Wang Ji's younger brother Wang Chang is an old minister of the East Palace of the First Emperor, who is both civil and military, and now sits in Yanzhou, which is quite popular with the people. The Wang clan of Qixian County and the Wang clan of Taiyuan are in the same vein, and they are in close contact, and if they really want to punish the three clans, they will inevitably involve Wang Wei, the assassin of Qingzhou. As for the Bingzhou clan that married with the Taiyuan Wang family, there are countless of them. Once the Taiyuan Wang clan is punished for unproven crimes, I am afraid that the entire state will be shaken, and the world will be uneasy. ”

Cao Rong blinked, and a smile flashed from the corner of his mouth. "What about Uncle Huang's opinion?"

"Now that Wang Ji is dead, there shouldn't be many people who know about it. His Majesty sent someone to secretly investigate, and then it depends on the situation. ”

Cao Rong pondered for a long time and nodded. "It's still Uncle Huang's steady, so I depend on Uncle Huang."
