Chapter 55: Cao Mengde enters the General's Mansion for the second time
Last time, when Cao Cao heard the word "rebellion", his fighting spirit was rekindled, and his eyes became clear.
His previous decadence was all because he didn't have the opportunity to show himself, but now that the opportunity has come, his heart is on fire again.
He looked at Zheng Wu fixedly, and in order to confirm the authenticity of the news, he asked, "Where did you get the news from?" ”
"Yesterday, someone came to Sili Yamen to complain, and he sued about this matter."
"Yesterday?" Cao Cao was wondering why Zheng Wu only told him about this today, all day had passed, and the daylilies were not all cold?
"He only met the Captain today."
"Oh." Cao Cao also knew that the government dealt with civilian complaints, and when Zheng Wu mentioned it, he remembered it. He continued to ask, "Who is he?" Is the message reliable? ”
"I didn't hear who he was, but the news should be reliable."
"Are you sure?"
"He told the captain the whole plan, and it was very detailed, so it should be true." After speaking, Zheng Wu told Cao Cao everything he heard.
Cao Cao squinted his eyes while listening to what Zheng Wu said, and interrupted Zheng Wu from time to time to ask a few questions, so that he could ask the details clearly, so that he could judge the truth of this matter more accurately.

After Zheng Wu finished speaking, Cao Cao decided that this matter was true nine times out of ten, because Tang Zhou's confession was too detailed, and he only bit Feng Yu alone. The Ten Standing Servants have something to do with the Taiping Sect, which is an open secret of the imperial court. If the bigwigs in the DPRK and China want to falsely accuse the ten permanent servants, they must be ten together. Moreover, the current captain of Sili is Zhang Rang's diehard, and the bigwigs in the court want to kill the ten permanent servants, and they will not be stupid enough to send someone to complain to Zhang Rang's people, which is sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Now that the matter has been confirmed, all that remains is how to deal with it. If this matter is used well, the scourge of the Ten Standing Servants can be eliminated together, but this person is now in the hands of the other party, and he must get him out first.
After thinking about the matter, Cao Cao said to Zheng Wu: "It's so late, you can sleep at my house tonight." Now I have something to do, I need to get out for a while. I'll ask Cao Miao to arrange a room for you. As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to go out.
Zheng Wu dodged in front of Cao Cao and said earnestly, "My lord, you want to rescue that witness, right?" I know the yamen well, I know where he is held, let me show you the way. You have always taken such good care of me and my brothers, and my brothers and I don't know how to repay you, now that you have the opportunity, you can fulfill me. ”
Cao Cao said with some embarrassment: "If you do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue your errand." ”
Zheng Wu patted his chest and said categorically: "I have long wanted to take off this skin, and now how can I be happy with you before." The villain will give you the saddle before and after the adult in the future! ”
Cao Cao was not hypocritical, and patted Zheng Wu's shoulder vigorously to show that Zheng Wu's intention was accepted, and then he left the house with Zheng Wu and walked straight to the General's Mansion.
When they arrived at the general's mansion, Cao Cao informed him of his official position and name, saying that he had something important to ask to see the general, but the porter didn't pay attention to him at all, only said that it was late at night, and the general had rested, so let them ask for morning tomorrow.
Zheng Wuzheng wanted to step forward and reason with the porter, but was stopped by Cao Cao. Cao Cao shook his head at him, turned around and left. Because Cao Cao knew that continuing to waste words with the porter here was just a waste of his own time, and there was no point at all. It is estimated that this dog slave didn't take his own handful of people in his eyes at all.
Cao Cao took Zheng Wu and went to find Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao saw Cao Cao coming, and asked with a smile: "Meng De, haven't you drunk enough?" It's only been a long time, do you want to continue? ”
Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao solemnly: "It's not for drinking, it's something wrong." Then he dragged Yuan Shao to a place where there was no one, and told Yuan Shao about the rebellion of the Taiping Sect.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, wondering if Cao Cao was joking with himself. Because although Cao Cao is his good friend, from childhood to adulthood, he has been pitted by this good friend in front of him less often? So he had to wonder if the news was true or not.
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao's expression and knew that he didn't believe him, but now he had to compete for time with the Ten Standing Attendants, and he couldn't care too much, so he told Yuan Shao what happened to him in the General's Mansion.
After listening to this, Yuan Shao's heart blossomed. On the one hand, he felt that the porter of the General's Mansion had avenged him for his best friend, and on the other hand, he felt that God had given him a great credit. He didn't want to waste time, for fear that if it dragged on for a long time, the credit would fly, so he pulled Cao Cao and walked out, letting the servants prepare the horses as he went. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao got on their horses in front of the gate, and ran to the General's Mansion after beating the horses.
What about Zheng Wu? He had to keep up with his own legs.
When Cao Cao and the others came to the door of the general's mansion again, this time Yuan Shao stepped forward to call the door: "Yuan Shao, the nephew of Taifu Yuan Kui, has something important to ask to see the general." ”
Yuan Shao's report did not even have an official position, because he wanted to show the people of the world that he did not like the posture of the ten permanent servants and refused to be an official in the same dynasty with them. In the eyes of the porter, this should have been worse than Cao Cao, just a white body, but the name of "Taifu Yuan Kui's nephew" made the porter dare not slack off, and immediately went in to report.
Zheng Wu chased the horse for a while just now, although the road was not long, but the anger was not very smooth, and now seeing the treatment of his adults, compared with Yuan Shao, the nephew of this Taifu, the anger is even more unsmooth. But he didn't dare to attack in front of everyone, so he could only complain for Cao Cao in his heart.
Soon, the porter came back and said that the general was invited. Let his companions lead Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in.
What about Zheng Wu? Of course, he could only wait outside the gate. Is the General's Mansion a place where a small official like him can enter?
Cao Cao could only give Zheng Wu an apologetic look, and followed Yuan Shao in.
When they came to the parlor, the servant gave them seats, served tea, and withdrew.
didn't wait long, and a beautiful young man turned out from behind the innermost screen in the living room, saluted Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and said in a different way: "I don't know which one is Yuan Shao and Yuan Gongzi?" ”
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw that someone had come in, they both stood up, and they felt very strange when they saw that the other party was not the general He Jin, but they didn't dare to slack off when they saw that the other party was treating each other politely.
Yuan Shao returned the salute and said, "The son doesn't dare to be." I am Yuan Shao. Then he let go of Cao Cao and said to the beautiful son: "This is my friend, Cao Cao." Finally, he asked the beautiful son, "Is the general in the house?" I have something very important to report to him. ”
