Chapter 100: Parting Ways
"I'm also investigating this matter!" In the middle of the house, Li Ru looked at Chen Mingcheng and said: "Poisoning the Queen Mother, no matter how stupid I am, I can't do it, this matter is quite strange." ”
"In other words, in this palace, there are still people who are not under the control of the Taiwei who are hiding in the shadows?" Chen Mo frowned and looked at Li Rudao.
"Not bad." Li Ru nodded and said: "After Empress Dowager He was deposed, she was moved into the Yong'an Palace, in addition, we did not have the slightest disrespect, and in order to avoid the truth, the palace guards were under the control of the imperial servants, I had asked Wang Yun before, but the palace guards were nowhere to be found that day." ”
"But no matter what, this matter will still be remembered on the head of the captain." When Chen Mo heard Wang Yun's name, his heart moved, and he looked at Li Ru and said, "But I'm more worried about the murder of King Hongnong, Wang Yun, have you checked?" ”
"I can't find it." Li Ru shook his head: "After this person was made a servant, he acted quite low-key and lived in a simple place. ”
Intuition told Chen Mo that this matter was inseparable from Wang Yun, after all, the people present at the time were basically Wang Yun's people, if it was irrelevant, Chen Mo didn't believe it, but to deal with this kind of high-ranking celebrity, you can't rely on speculation, you don't have evidence, and you can't deal with him.
Dong Zhuo is now hostile because of the abolition, if he has another reputation for unjustly killing celebrities, I am afraid that the hearts of the people who were won over before will be scattered.
"I think it's inconvenient to investigate this matter, no matter who it is, Taiwei Yu's reputation will not help, but it will make people feel that Taiwei is shirking and framing." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The most important thing at the moment is that King Hongnong must not be killed again, otherwise the prestige that Taiwei has built up in the past few days will be ruined." ”
Everyone has a great prejudice against Dong Zhuo, and has already decided that the Queen Mother was killed by Dong Zhuo, even if the truth is found out at this time, everyone will only be willing to believe the truth they recognize.
Li Ru nodded, looked at Chen Mo with some appreciation, and said, "Although General Chen is young, he is quite serious in his work, and he can take on great responsibilities. ”
"If the problem is clearly understood, it will not be difficult to solve it." Chen Mo didn't care much about this, at least for now, Dong Zhuo wouldn't give him any big responsibilities, and Captain Si Li's current point of view, it was actually relatively easy to offend people: "If there is nothing important, I will leave first." ”
"Walk slowly!" Li Ru got up to send him off.
Leaving the Wuguan Zhonglang General's Office, Chen Mo did not return to the barracks, walked on the street, looking at the sparse pedestrians, without the original sense of bustling and prosperous.
Somehow, I walked to the spring warmth.
"General Chen? How are you here? "The pavilion master of Chunnuan Pavilion, the woman who still has the charm to see Chen Mo, was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"What? Now that I am not welcome in the Spring Warm Pavilion? Chen Mo had a smile on his face, a little less innocent in the past, but a little more masculine, more attractive to women, although he came to Chun Nuan Pavilion a lot of times, but he was quite popular in Chun Nuan Pavilion.
"Now Chun Nuan Pavilion has been gifted to the servant by Duke Yuan." The pavilion master shook his head and said in a low voice.
Understood, Wang Yun obviously didn't welcome himself to come.
"Can my sister do me a favor?" Chen Mo looked around and pulled the pavilion master to the side of the hut.
"General Chen, we are all hard-working people, and we are ...... this major event in the court" The woman was a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, you don't need to take risks, then Wang Yun sees who you see every day and record it, I will send someone nearby, and your sister will give the things to these people." Chen Mo said in a low voice: "There will definitely be the benefits of a sister." ”
As he spoke, Chen Mo took out a jade ruyi from his arms and stuffed it into the other party's arms, which was Dong Zhuo's reward for him.
"That's it?" The woman looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.
"That's all." Chen Mo nodded affirmatively.
This matter is not difficult, the woman looked at the jade Ruyi in her hand, then at Chen Mo, and finally nodded: "Well, recently, that servant often brings the marquis of the Northern Army here." ”
"Ho Hao?" Chen Mo nodded and said, "Then please ask my sister for this matter, and I will leave first." ”
If you don't go, you can't go, this woman touched him twice from time to time, which made Chen Mo very embarrassed.
The woman looked at Chen Mo's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but giggle, Chen Mo walked faster.
When he returned home, it was already the beginning of the lights, and Yun Si had already prepared hot water for him.
"The husband has been running for many days, and he must have been tired, and the concubine heard that the husband came back tonight, and the special person prepared a hot bath." Yun Si looked at Chen Mo with a smile and said.
"Let's go together~" Chen Mo nodded, running around for days, he really needed to relax.
"Hmm~" Yun Si responded weakly and followed Chen Mo to the bath.
……
There was nothing to say all night, the light of the early morning shone on the delicate skin through the window paper, and Chen Mo, who had already put on his clothes, helped Yun Si pull away the hair sticking to his face, and only after pulling the silk quilt did he leave.
There aren't many things that Captain Si Li has to do on weekdays, but now it's an extraordinary time. Nanyin has to be governed well, and the bandits around him have to be dealt with, in this position, he is really busy if he wants to do practical things, Chen Mo is not afraid of offending the powerful now, anyway, the real magnates are basically Taoguang Yanghu, and now they are jumping around, most of them don't see the situation clearly, they are making trouble, they can't do it, they are good at making trouble, just a matter of Yanshi's order, it leads to a lot of friends.
"I don't know how many people you will offend by doing this." On this day, Chen Mo and Cao Cao got together and looked at Chen Modao.
"There is no way, the evidence of the Yanshi's corruption is now in the river. Nanyin Agency, many people don't seem to see it, maybe they see it, but that's not what they want to see, what they see is just that I am doing things for Dong Zhuo, if the world really depends on these people, then the world should also die. Chen Mo shook his head helplessly, this net between scholars must be broken, if the imperial court is connected. Nanyin can't control it, so this court will really exist in name only.
"The prince's birthday banquet, have you ever been invited?" Luoyang looked at Chen Mo and suddenly changed the topic.
"No, how could he invite me? Do you believe that if there is no other person behind these things? Chen Mo shook his head, in recent days, he had gotten a lot of lists from Chun Nuan Pavilion, he knew that the list of Chun Nuan Pavilion was actually only a small part, but this small part was already a little shocking, he underestimated the rejection of Dong Zhuo by the scholars, and also overestimated the loyalty of the scholars to the Han family, these people would rather destroy the Han family than let Dong Zhuo take power, this is what Chen Mo did not expect.
"Coincidentally, I didn't either." Cao Cao sighed and took out an invitation, seeing that Chen Mo was puzzled, he smiled and said, "I came from Boqiu last night, I am going to go and have a look, maybe I will leave in a few days." ”
"I'm the only one?" Chen Mo smiled bitterly, but he didn't stop it.
"Luoyang has been eroded to this point, you and I can't change anything, I am ready to try another way to save the country." Cao Cao took the invitation in his hand and looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Wang Yun is a scheming person, but he is narrow-minded, after his brother leaves, the virtuous brother should be careful of this person, if he feels that he can't do anything, he should withdraw as soon as possible, and now Luoyang is like a quagmire." ”
Chen Mo nodded, hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said: "Then I wish my brother success, before noon tomorrow, I will remove the people at the East Gate, Mo will not send my brother, Wang Yun's birthday banquet today is not in Chunnuan Pavilion, it should be at his home." ”
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the virtuous brother." Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"The other path may not be easy to take, and my brother needs some reputation." Chen Mo said calmly: "After all, you and I don't have a good reputation now. ”
"Don't blame me?" Cao Cao said unexpectedly.
"Actually...... I'm also a little unsure if I chose the right one now, although Dong Zhuo has the courage, but ......" Chen Mo pinched his eyebrows, the scholars' rejection of Dong Zhuo was somewhat beyond Chen Mo's expectations, almost with the courage to take the Han family and Dong Zhuo to die together, he still can't figure it out, in the end, the sky will fall apart, will it really be good for them?
Maybe there is, no matter who is in power in this world, the scholars can't get around, so they dare to poison the Empress Dowager He, since they have this courage, when Dong Zhuo first entered Beijing, why didn't he take out this courage and drive Dong Zhuo out?
"Actually, what Dong Zhuo is doing now is what everyone wants but dare not do, Dong Zhuo has set a precedent, so it is naturally useless." Cao Cao picked up the wine in his hand and sneered.
"There's a long road ahead, take care, brother!" Chen Mo picked up the wine and drank all the wine.
"Well, Brother Xian should also think about retreating early, and go on like this...... The result was definitely not what the virtuous brother wanted. Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo and sighed.
Chen Mo nodded, he did have this idea.
At that moment, Cao Cao accepted the invitation, said goodbye to Chen Mo and left, and went straight to Wang Yun's mansion, as for what to say, Chen Mo did not know, but the next day, Cao Cao's desire to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a knife quickly spread in the city.
"General, General Cao is gone." Under the city gate, Dian Wei came to Chen Mo's side and bowed.
"Inform Cui Geng and close the city gates." Chen Mo nodded and said.
"Whoa!"
Soon, Lu Bu led his troops to arrive, looked at the closed city gate and frowned: "Who is on duty, why don't you open the city gate soon?" ”
"It's Wen Hou." Chen Mo rode over and saluted Lu Bu: "I just received news that someone wants to assassinate the captain, and I specially ordered someone to close the city gate to prevent the thieves from escaping." ”
"General Chen?" Lu Bu came to Chen Mo's side, stared at Chen Mo with a dead gaze and said, "Do you know who assassinated the captain?" ”
"I don't know yet." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Does Wen Hou know? ”
"It's your acquaintance Cao Mengde!" When Lu Bu said this, he was killed.
"No way, no reason." Chen Mo shook his head and said.
"I saw it with my own eyes." Lu Busen said: "You want to protect this person? ”
"Wen Hou, I respect you as a hero, but Chen is not a person to be bullied!" The smile on Chen Mo's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Lu Bu and said, "It's impossible for Brother Meng De to do such a thing. ”
"Then you open the city gates, and I will be ordered to pursue the traitors!"
"Is there an order from the Captain?" Chen Mo stretched out his hand and said.
"I was in a hurry, I didn't arrive!" Lu Bu said impatiently.
"If there is no order, it will be difficult to obey!" Chen Mo looked at Lu Bu and didn't give in.
"Nonsense!" Lu Bu was furious, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand probed and took Chen Mo directly.
"Who dares to hurt my general!" Behind Chen Mo, Dian Wei roared, holding a ring-headed knife in each hand, protecting Chen Mo in front of him in one step, splitting Lu Bu's halberd with one sword, his eyes widened angrily, and he glared at Lu Bu angrily.
