Ding Mi served as the secretary of Duzhi, in charge of the financial power of the imperial court, and He Yan and Deng Yang were degraded by the people of the time as "Taichung Three Dogs", and were one of Cao Shuang's most trusted cronies.

Ding Mi likes to give advice to Cao Shuang, and often considers himself Cao Shuang's brainstorm, but his ideas are generally relatively rancid, tricky and vicious, which often causes dissatisfaction among the ministers, and even He Yan and Deng Yang look down on him and do not associate with him privately.

However, Cao Shuang appreciated his strategy, and many times, he obeyed his words.

As soon as Ding Mi opened his mouth at this moment, Cao Shuang suddenly became interested and said, "What's the opportunity, Yanjing might as well talk about it?" ”

Ding Mi said with a slight smile: "Since the assassin dares to commit murder in Luoyang City, he must have no fear, and he is definitely not afraid of being investigated. ”

Cao Shuang was slightly stunned, and talked to you for a long time, just like Bai said, of course Cao Shuang also knew that these assassins must have a background, and wanted to find out and try to climb to the sky.

"Then Yanjing thinks there is no need to investigate this matter, right?"

"Check, why not? Not only to investigate, but also to investigate to the end, to hold people accountable! "Ding Mi is categorical.

Cao Shuang was really confused this time, even Xiahou Xuan didn't know what to do, and the two looked at Ding Mi together, wanting to hear his high opinions.

"Yanjing, what do you mean by this?"

Ding Mi smiled leisurely and said: "General, this murder and theft is the duty of the Tingwei Mansion, since there is a bad incident of assassins assassinating the imperial family in Luoyang City, the general can instruct Tingwei to carry out the murder within a time limit, if Tingwei can find out the real murderer, it will be better, if not, the general can be derelict in duty and replace him." ”

Wang Ye, the current Tingwei, has just been promoted from Dali Siqing, and Wang Ye is a member of Sima Yi's family, because of the promotion of Wang Ye, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi still have some contradictions, but in order to let Bi Liang be successfully appointed as the captain of Sili, Cao Shuang finally compromised and let Wang Ye become Tingwei.

The reason why Wang Ye was promoted to court lieutenant also has an unknown inside story, that is, in the case of warding off evil spirits, Wang Ye had helped Sima Yi, and in return, Sima Yi would definitely help Wang Ye be promoted.

Therefore, in other positions, Sima Yi gave up competing with Cao Shuang, except for the position of Tingwei, Sima Yi always refused to compromise, Cao Shuang was helpless, and finally had to agree to Wang Ye's appointment.

However, this incident has made Cao Shuang still linger, Tingwei and one of the Jiuqing, in charge of the world's prisons, can be regarded as an important position, Cao Shuang has been trying to let his cronie Li Shenglai serve as Tingwei, but the final result is the opposite.

If there is a suitable opportunity to kick out Wang Ye, Cao Shuang is naturally happy to see it.

Ding Mi's suggestion made Cao Shuang's eyes shine, isn't this just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let Wang Ye investigate this headless case, if it can be found, wouldn't it be just right, according to what Xiahou Xuan said just now, this matter is very likely to be done by the Sima family, if you can catch the handle of the Sima family, Cao Shuang can also just kill Sima Yi inside.

If Wang Ye can't find out, or he doesn't investigate at all, it will also be in Cao Shuang's hands, and take this opportunity to remove Wang Ye from his post and investigate, which may just allow Li Sheng to take over the post of Tingwei.

"No, Yanjing's plan is very good! Someone came, passed on the order of the general, and ordered Tingwei Wang Ye to immediately investigate the assassination case of Cao Liang, and be sure to capture the real murderer, and there must be no mistakes! ”

"Yui!" The lieutenant officer received the order and immediately went to the Tingwei Mansion to give the order.

Ordinary business orders must at least be conveyed during the officer's office hours, but this order is an urgent order, so the lieutenant officer who gave the order didn't care if it was midnight or not, and went straight to the Tingwei's Mansion to deliver the order.

Wang Ye just took off his clothes and rested, and he heard the next person report that someone from the General's Mansion was coming, he hurriedly got up, under the dim light, it was inevitable that he made a mistake in his busyness, and even the pants were worn backwards, but fortunately, the next person reminded him, Wang Ye hurriedly took off his pants and put them on again.

When he came to Zhongtang, Wang Ye met with the Chinese officer, and the Chinese officer also conveyed Cao Shuang's order to him.

Wang Ye suddenly had a big head, and the vast majority of assassination cases like this were headless public cases, and it was very difficult to investigate them.

But this is a matter personally supervised by the general, and the victim is a member of the royal family, and the royal duty is where the royal industry lies, so he ordered the officials of the Tingwei Mansion to shout in the middle of the night.

Most of these errand officials of the Tingwei Mansion also slept like Wang Ye, and after receiving the order, they all got up busily and went to the lobby of the Tingwei Mansion to gather, in the chaos, there were those who were disheveled, there were those who wore Zhang Guanli, and there were those who lost their shoes and socks, and it is estimated that this is also the most chaotic roll call in the Tingwei Mansion.

Wang Ye led a group of errand officers and hurried to the site of the incident, Maolong Garden.

The parties Cao Liang and Fang Bu had already left the Dragon Garden, but Xiahou Xuan had already sent forbidden troops to protect the entire scene, and idle people were not allowed to approach here.

The five corpses were still lying quietly in the same place, maintaining the state of the first death, and Wang Ye sent Chen Zuo to examine the corpses, three of the five corpses were killed by a knife in the throat, and the other two were shot in the temple by a short crossbow arrow.

From the bodies of the five corpses, nothing was found that could prove their identities, of course, this was not unexpected by Wang Ye, after all, the assassins came out to commit murder, there was no reason to reveal their identities, and it was definitely not easy to find out where these five assassins came from and who they were sent by.

Wang Ye couldn't find anything of value at the scene, so he ordered the five corpses to be carried back to the Tingwei Mansion, and after dawn, Wang Ye made a special trip to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion and personally went to inquire about the party Cao Liang.

Cao Liang naturally wouldn't provide him with any valuable information, and Cao Liang didn't talk to Wang Ye about the speculation that the assassin might have been sent by the Sima family.

After all, Cao Liang also knows that Wang Ye is Sima Yi's person, and he can eat indiscriminately, so he can't talk nonsense.

But Wang Ye is also a shrewd person, even if Cao Liang did not disclose the details, but judging from the information he learned from other channels, he still got some clues, and the assassination incident had a great relationship with the Sima family.

This undoubtedly made Wang Ye fall into a tangle, if he investigated it in the end, it would inevitably find out the head of his mentor Sima Yi, and the passive slack, Cao Shuang couldn't explain it, this time Cao Shuang gave him an order to supervise this matter late at night, Wang Ye naturally didn't think that Cao Shuang did it unintentionally.

If his investigation fails well this time, it is very likely that Cao Shuang will not give him good fruits to eat, and he can be removed from his post and investigated or even sent to prison if he is casually accused of a crime.

Wang Ye thought about it, and simply handed over a resignation note, which was difficult to do, so he simply didn't do it.
