"That guy wants you to kill people and kill people, and it's also on Cao Sikong's orders?" At this moment, Butu suddenly pointed at the scribe and spoke.

The scribe was the most hateful, whether it was torture or interrogation, he wanted to trap Butu to death, so Butu hated him more than he was favored.

"You still want to kill people?" Liu Ping looked at the scribe coldly.

The scribe felt a cold sweat on his back, and hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Ping...... Ping Gongzi, the little one doesn't dare to ......"

"Make a note of him, and find someone to settle accounts with him then," Liu Ping said lightly as the scribe nodded.

In this great Han capital, he can't blatantly kill people, but finding an opportunity to kill a small scribe is easier than stepping on an ant.

After listening to Liu Ping's words, the scribe suddenly weakened his legs and collapsed on the ground, looking loveless......

"Go home!"

Liu Ping waved his hand and asked Zhou Cang to put the layout on his back and prepare to leave.

No matter what Man Pet says, he is acting on orders, Liu Ping can't go too far, he just needs to rescue Butu.

As for the suffering suffered by Butu, if it is counted on the head of the person who planted the blame for him, if the full favor can't find out, Liu Ping is ready to take action himself.

In short, it is necessary to find out the mastermind behind this scene, avenge Butu, and relieve his anger.

"Prince Ping, what the lower officials are under the orders of the Son of Heaven and Cao Sikong, and there is an edict and Cao Sikong's edict in hand," At this time, Man Zhong stepped forward and bowed down to stop him, pointing to Butu and said: "This suspect is very suspicious, you can't take it away." ”

In the imperial court, Liu Ping has to listen to the Son of Heaven, and in the Cao family, Liu Ping has to listen to Cao Cao, and he is full of favor with the double appointment of the Son of Heaven and Cao Cao, how can Liu Ping be ignored?

"The edict of the Son of Heaven and the empty edict are for you to track down the spies, not for you to create unjust cases."

Liu Ping pointed to the map and said firmly: "I can determine that this person is definitely not a spy, if you are not convinced, you can sue me before the Son of Heaven drives."

Now, get out of the way! ”

Tai Shici stepped forward and put Manzhong aside, and Liu Ping took a group of people away.

Man Pet looked at their swaggering backs and trembled with anger.

He never expected that Liu Ping would have no fear of those two appointments, and he really dared to blatantly snatch people from his cell, how bold is this?

But suddenly thinking about it, it's impossible to say that this bad thing has become a good thing, after all, there is an excuse, the suspect he arrested was snatched away by Liu Ping, how can he check?

"This man is so arrogant that tomorrow he will ask for sin, but I will see what he has to say."

Man Zhong sneered and waited for a moment, but did not hear the reply of the scribe.

When he looked back, the scribe was sitting on the ground with his eyes blank, as if he had lost his soul.

No matter how much he fights above, he is a little scribe who is targeted by a top powerful son like Liu Ping, can he still run?

……

The court hall was empty, and the number of ministers who came to the court suddenly decreased by half, and the atmosphere was depressed and solemn.

"Your Majesty, now we are still being followed and monitored by the officials in and out, like prisoners, and please ask Your Majesty to make decisions for us," Kong Rong took the lead in breaking the dullness.

Manzhong searched the mansions of the ministers, although he found nothing, but he knew that the nine achievements of the person who put the silk silk were hidden in this minister.

Therefore, almost everyone who had a carriage in their home sent a servant to spy on them.

It's just that those officials have not received professional training, and the so-called covert surveillance can easily turn into overt tracking.

Following a "tail" at any time naturally makes the ministers feel unhappy, and they feel like prisoners.

"Your Majesty, everyone in Xudu City is now in danger, and there are many complaints, if it continues like this, it will definitely make people deviate from morality, Your Majesty must not fail to investigate," Kong Rong said bitterly.

Today, more than half of the people say that they are sick and do not go to court, which is regarded as a silent protest against the connivance of the Son of Heaven, how can the Son of Heaven not pay attention to it?

"If you don't come to the court, do you want to force me to withdraw the edict?" Liu Xie suppressed his anger and said indifferently: "Although Liu Qing was able to strategize before, he was lucky enough to quell the rebellion of Yuan Shu and recapture the jade seal.

But the details of the leaked news are still hidden in Xu Du has not been removed, I think about it, always like a needle in my back, if I don't reveal the true face of this person, let him leak the news to the outside at any time, what secrets do I have in the court?

Therefore, although it is inconvenient for Zhuqing now, he still needs to endure for a little longer. ”

Liu Xie thought that if he didn't catch this spy, no matter what they discussed here, it could be passed on to Liu Bei, and then in the future, the court would not dare to discuss any important matters.

Therefore, Liu Xie made up his mind that no matter how much effort he expended, he must find out the maggots of the tarsal bones.

Kong Rong didn't expect the emperor to be so resolute, and continued: "But...... Now the people in Xudu City are panicking, and it is rumored that His Majesty's move is to use cool officials to suppress scholars on the pretext of investigating and probing spies.

There were many scholars who came to vote before, but now they are all quietly leaving. ”

He pointed to the empty court again, frowned and said, "Does Your Majesty really think that these people are pretending to be sick and forcing Your Majesty to withdraw the edict?"

The minister heard that in fact, some people were already preparing to secretly escape from Xudu. ”

"What?" Liu Xie couldn't help but lose his voice.

He originally thought that the ministers were just dissatisfied with being followed and monitored, but after the spies were caught and normal order was restored, everyone's dissatisfaction dissipated.

But I never thought it would be so serious.

The scholars who came to vote have all gone, although there are not many of these scholars who have the ability, but after they escape from Xudu, they will inevitably spread their dissatisfaction with the court in all directions, who will still vote for those who really have the ability in the future?

And what shocked him even more was that even the ministers of the court were preparing to flee, and the newly formed imperial court was about to fall apart.

"It seems that Zhuqing has already regarded me as a faint monarch, and would rather flee from Xudu than serve the imperial court," Liu Xie sighed.

"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't want to go to the court, it's just that the full favor probe is too rough, and it is only aimed at the daughters of the princes, this shame is unacceptable even for ordinary civilians, not to mention that the ministers are all scholars?"

Liu Xie looked ahead with a hollow look in his eyes, and only after a long time did he say: "Spread my word and investigate the detailed things, so that Cao Qing will change his investigation to an unannounced visit, and he will not harass Zhu Qing." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to be the person who heralds the decree, meet Cao Gong face-to-face, and make a statement to him in person."

Kong Rong and the others were going to complain to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao pretended to be sick and hid.

Now that I finally got this opportunity to meet Cao Cao, I naturally won't let it go.

"Yes!"

Liu Xie nodded, feeling a trace of helplessness in his heart.

With such a big fanfare and high pressure, you can't find out the spies, how can you find out the secret visits?

……

Kong Rong hurried to Sikong Mansion, and the guards at the door were still ready to stop him.

But Kong Rong proposed that it was to pass on the message of the Son of Heaven, and the guards hurriedly went in to report.

Cao Cao was dealing with official documents in the mansion, and when he heard that Kong Rong came to pass on the message, he couldn't help but smile and said to himself: "I'm afraid that these ministers have finally said that the Son of Heaven has been moved." ”

He packed up his official documents, went to lie down on the couch, and said to the guards, "Let Kong Shaofu come in!" ”
