Just as Han Zhan stayed in the mansion every day and urged the women of the music workshop to practice Huangmei Opera, an unexpected thing happened in Dongjun, which was guarded by Cao Mengde.

The cause of the incident was that he was a border commander who was the Taishou of Jiujiang, and lived in Chenliu for a long time after resigning and retiring. Because he relied on his own talent, he didn't take Cao Mengde in his eyes, and despised and belittled Cao Cao many times. Cao Mengde, in a fit of rage, personally ordered Bian Rang to be killed and put his family members in prison.

Chen Gong, who was still working for Cao Mengde, learned that his friend Bian Rang had been killed and his family members were also imprisoned, so he hurriedly came to intercede with Cao Mengde, hoping that he could open up and let Bian Rang's family members go. Seeing that Chen Gong pleaded for Bian Rang's family, Cao Mengde was a little embarrassed, and could only vaguely say that in a few days, Bian Rang's family would be released from prison.

Who knew that less than two days later, Cao Mengde ordered all Bian Rang's family members to be beheaded for public display. When Chen Gong learned the news, he immediately rushed to the Taishou Mansion to ask to see Cao Mengde, but the soldiers at the gate said that the Taishou was ill and could not see him. If he couldn't see Cao Mengde, he naturally couldn't get him back his life, and Chen Gong could only watch his friend's family head fall to the ground.

A team leader outside the door saw Chen Gong leave gloomily, and he couldn't bear it, so he caught up with Chen Gong and whispered to him: "Chen Cheng, Bian Taishou's family is still alive." ”

Hearing the team leader say this, Chen Gong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know who in the Bian family is still alive, and where is he now?" ”

"Bian Taishou's wife, Luan, was left behind by Cao Taishou." The team leader didn't dare to say too much, and left in a hurry after saying this.

After listening to the words of the team, Chen Gong immediately understood why Cao Mengde wanted to kill the Bian family, it turned out that he was looking at Bian Rang's wife. Chen Gong and Bian Rang are good friends, so they naturally know the beauty of Bian Niang's wife Luan, and it is not surprising that Cao Mengde's lustful nature would do this kind of thing.

If Chen Gong has had many conflicts with Cao Mengde in the past two years, he is still in a state of peace. But Cao Mengde killed his friend and seized his friend's wife, which made Chen Gong unbearable. After Chen Gong, who was heartbroken, returned to his home, after repeated thinking, he decided to abandon Cao Mengde and leave. However, before leaving, he planned to destroy Cao Mengde and persuade the county commanders of Dongjun to let them break away from Cao Mengde and make Cao Mengde a loner.

After dawn the next day, Chen Gong rode out of Dongjun and went to his subordinate counties to visit the county commanders. As a member of Dongjun, he still has some understanding of the situation of these county orders, and those county orders who have no good impression of Cao Mengde, he directly lobbied the other party and instigated the other party to rebel; As for some county orders that do not have deep intersections, he first tested the other party's attitude towards Cao Mengde, and then cautiously adopted the method of knocking on the side to persuade the other party to break away from Cao Mengde.

In the face of Chen Gong's persuasion, the county commanders did not immediately express their position, because they couldn't figure out what was going on. You must know that when Cao Mengde was able to become the Taishou of Dongjun, Chen Gong played a great role in it. Now Chen Gong actually came forward to persuade himself to oppose Cao Mengde, who knows what conspiracy is in it, if he agrees casually, he may lose his own life.

It is precisely because of the concerns of the county commanders that Chen Gong returned in vain. He was unwilling to fail like this, so he decided to go to Chenliu to try his luck with Zhang Miao, he knew very well that Zhang Miao had been staring at the position of the Yanzhou Assassin, if he was willing to raise troops against Cao Mengde, he could assist him in ascending to the position of Yanzhou Assassin.

When he came to Chen Liu's Taishou Mansion, he revealed his identity to the soldiers at the door. Knowing that it was the Dongjun who came to visit the Taishou, the soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly entered to report to Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao was discussing with his subordinates, and when he learned that Chen Gong was asking to see him outside the mansion, he immediately brought someone to greet him. Still far away, he bowed to Chen Gong and said with a smile: "Gongtai, Ben Taishou has never been far away, and please forgive me." ”

Seeing Zhang Miao leading people out to greet him, Chen Gong hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute and said respectfully: "The palace has seen Zhang Taishou!" ”

Coming to the main hall, Zhang Miao beckoned Chen Gong to sit down at his bottom, and asked with a smile: "Gongtai came this time, I don't know if it was for Cao Gong to deliver a letter?" ”

"No, no!" Chen Gong waved his hand and said, "The palace came to Chen Liu, because he had something important to discuss with Zhang Taishou. ”

"Gongtai, if there is anything important to discuss with Ben Taishou, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Before Chen Gong spoke, his eyes were looking back and forth around the officials sitting around, as if he had some concerns. Zhang Miao saw Chen Gong's expression, and hurriedly said: "Gongtai, these are all trustworthy people here, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Chen Gong nodded and asked, "Zhang Taishou, if you have the opportunity to become the Yanzhou Assassin, I wonder if you are willing to take this position?" ”

Being able to be the assassin of Yanzhou is naturally much stronger than Chen Liutaishou, who he is currently serving. When Zhang Miao heard this, his heartbeat sped up, he looked at Chen Gong and asked tentatively: "Gongtai, Ben Taishou does have this intention, but unfortunately his strength is not good, and it is difficult to take on this heavy responsibility, but what, what!" ”

Confirming that Zhang Miao really had plans to be the assassin of Yanzhou, Chen Gong smiled slightly and said: "If Zhang Taishou is willing to raise troops and crusade against Cao Mengde, then after the matter is completed, the palace is willing to lobby the officials of Yanzhou and let them nominate you as the assassin of Yanzhou." ”

Zhang Miao never dreamed that Chen Gong would actually persuade himself to crusade against Cao Mengde when he came here. He was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said: "Gongtai said that you are laughing, you are a confidant of Cao Gong, and you actually said the words of crusading against Cao Gong, this joke is not funny at all." ”

"Zhang Taishou, what the palace says is from the bottom of his heart." Seeing that Zhang Miao thought he was joking, Chen Gong hurriedly raised his voice and said: "If you are willing to raise troops to fight against Cao Mengde, the palace is willing to promise you with his life that after the matter is completed, he will definitely be able to lobby Yanzhou officials and support you as the assassin of Yanzhou." ”

Speaking from the heart, the official position of Yanzhou Assassin is indeed very attractive, and Zhang Miao dreams of being this assassin history. But if the condition for becoming an assassin is to raise an army to fight against Cao Mengde, it is another matter, Zhang Miao is very self-aware, he doesn't think that with his own strength, he can compete with Cao Mengde.

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao raised his hand and slapped the cases in front of him, and said sharply: "Chen Gongtai, you are so bold, you should actually come here to lobby Ben Taishou and Cao Gong to be enemies." Someone! ”

With Zhang Miao's shouting, a group of soldiers poured in from outside the main hall. Seeing his subordinates coming, Zhang Miao pointed at Chen Gong, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, and ordered: "Take this person down immediately and put him in prison!" ”

Not long ago, those soldiers saw Taishou respectfully welcome this man into the mansion. It didn't take long for him to let himself take down the other party, which was too outrageous. The soldiers did not follow the order to step forward to take people, but just stood in place, looking at Chen Gong, who was as stable as Mount Tai, in a daze.

Seeing his subordinates standing in place in a daze, Zhang Miao was extremely angry, he slapped the table with his hand, raised his voice and said, "Didn't you hear Ben Taishou's words? Don't take this person down quickly! ”

In the face of the rushing soldiers, Chen Gong did not resist, but was captured. He looked at Zhang Miao, who was sitting in the middle, sneered and said, "Zhang Taishou, what the palace just said, please think twice." ”

Zhang Miao was afraid of being burned, so he yelled at the soldiers: "Take him down, take him down quickly!" ”
